The Wikileaks saga is a hard one -- for me there's been something that's been bothering me about the episode from Day One but -- as inarticulate as I've been lately -- I unsurprisingly couldn't quite articulate it. That's why God invented Glenn Greenwald, who of course wrote the uber post on the American media sticking up yet again for the powerful instead of speaking truth to power:
Nonetheless, our government and political culture is so far toward the extreme pole of excessive, improper secrecy that that is clearly the far more significant threat. And few organizations besides WikiLeaks are doing anything to subvert that regime of secrecy, and none is close to its efficacy. It's staggering to watch anyone walk around acting as though the real threat is from excessive disclosures when the impenetrable, always-growing Wall of Secrecy is what has enabled virtually every abuse and transgression of the U.S. government over the last two decades at least.

With all the cluck-clucking on this side of the Atlantic, it's not shocking that the best, full-throated defense of the new Wikileaks release comes from the UK:
The job of the media is not to protect power from embarrassment. If American spies are breaking United Nations rules by seeking the DNA biometrics of the UN director general, he is entitled to hear of it. British voters should know what Afghan leaders thought of British troops. American (and British) taxpayers might question, too, how most of the billions of dollars going in aid to Afghanistan simply exits the country at Kabul airport.

Apparently Belgium has low self-esteem problems that can only be helped by taking on a Gitmo prisoner or two:
Bargaining to empty the Guantánamo Bay prison: When American diplomats pressed other countries to resettle detainees, they became reluctant players in a State Department version of "Let's Make a Deal." Slovenia was told to take a prisoner if it wanted to meet with President Obama, while the island nation of Kiribati was offered incentives worth millions of dollars to take in Chinese Muslim detainees, cables from diplomats recounted. The Americans, meanwhile, suggested that accepting more prisoners would be "a low-cost way for Belgium to attain prominence in Europe."

Paine Field center restores aviation history
How are they transformed from bent, bullet-riddled scraps of metal and glass into prized aviation exhibits, slices of history, reminders of wars and dog-fighting victories, memories that make a veteran's heart beat faster?
Now glistening clean, colorfully painted and authentically restored, these historic planes attract and amaze people of all generations, no longer bearing any trace of where they were found — at the bottom of Lake Washington, stuck in Alaskan mud flats or baking in the Arizona desert.
Hundreds of thousands of visitors to Seattle's Museum of Flight each year marvel at the meticulously detailed and seemingly flight-ready appearance of the historic military and civilian aircraft on display — from a World War II Navy Corsair to a DC-3 airliner — without knowing whose hands and minds restored those treasures.
It's people like Tom Cathcart, director of aircraft collections for the Museum of Flight, and his scores of skilled volunteers at the museum's Restoration Center at Paine Field, who patiently and meticulously reassemble aviation relics, often working for years to prepare world-famous aircraft for display as icons of aviation history.
Cathcart also keeps track of all of the Museum of Flight aircraft in Seattle, leads preservation of the first Boeing 747 and a retired Concorde and track restoration of a P-51 in Idaho.
"Eventually we'll have a covered area for all of our planes that are now parked outside, plus a new space gallery showing the United States' involvement in space exploration, including the retired Space Shuttle trainer that people will be able to see up close," he said.
More than 20 planes have been restored at Paine Field and sent to the Museum of Flight for display since the center opened in 1988.
"We have a dedicated team of volunteers with a variety of backgrounds and skills," said Cathcart, who's the only full-time employee at the center, assisted by part-time staffer Sheree Van Berg.
While volunteers do most of the work, project managers are sometimes hired to direct special restoration efforts, such as the de Havilland Comet 4C project headed by Jim Goodall. It's one of the center's biggest attractions. Ninety percent of the plane's interior is completed, including the cockpit and the seating area of the world's first jet airliner.
In contrast to seeing the gleaming, polished and dusted aircraft on display in Seattle, walking into the restoration center is like stepping into a mechanic's garage, with parts, tools and sections of aircraft bodies wall to wall. Numerous projects are under way, each one in varying stages of multi-year resurrections.
"We just began work on a rare Lockheed YO-3A, a Vietnam-era stealth night reconnaissance aircraft that sat 20 years at the Skagit Regional Airport before the owner finally donated it to the museum," Cathcart said. "It's a unique spy plane that will soon be installed in the Museum of Flight's Great Gallery."
Prominent among the aircraft in the main restoration hangar at Paine Field is a twin-engine Chance-Vought F7U-3 Cutlass that was displayed in Bridgeport, Wash., from 1958 to 1992.
Close by, a Grumman F4F takes shape as volunteers piece together parts for the landing gear and the plane's folding wings. It flew Navy combat missions in the battle for Okinawa and will join other WW II warbirds at the Museum of Flight's Personal Courage wing.
Elsewhere is a Boeing 247D, a 10-passenger plane that launched the airline industry. It was restored to flyable condition after a 13-year effort by volunteers. This is the only airworthy 247D of four survivors.
Outside the hangars, helicopters and a Boeing 727 jet await attention.
Even though museum's restoration center has been tucked away at Paine Field for years, its quiet times are over. In recent years the busy workshop has added signage and walkways for visitors that allow tours without interrupting workers' restoration efforts. An extensive reception center is filled with books, models and aviation memorabilia.
"More than 5,000 visitors go through the restoration center each year," Cathcart said.
Tour the center
The Museum of Flight's Paine Field Restoration Center is open to the public from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday from June through August and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday from September through May. Donations of at least $5 per person are suggested. For more information, go to www.museumofflight.org/collections/aircraft-restoration or call 425-745-5150.

HAPPY VALLEY, CA - Residents evacuated from their homes Thursday may soon be allowed back. Firefighters appear to be gaining the upperhand on the Dale Fire, burning southeast of Redding.
Fire officials ordered mandatory evacuations of eighty homes while a 1,200-acre grass fire burned in Happy Valley.
Fiver homes were damaged and two buildings were destroyed. Evacuations included homes on Homes on Diggins Way, Clear Creek Road, Honeybee Road, Whispering Canyon Drive, Cloverdale Road and Oak Street, a Cal Fire representative said.
Cal Fire determined the fire started 10 feet away from a power pole on Cloverdale Road, just before 2 P.M. on Thursday.
An evacuation center and fire mobilization spot opened up at Shasta High School on Eureka Way in Redding.
CalFire spokesman Mike Witesman says he doesn't expect the blaze to grow much larger and some evacuees may soon be allowed to return to their homes.

Former Longhorn Justin Tucker is unsuccessful on fake kick in Super Bowl
Former Texas Longhorn and current Baltimore Raven Justin Tucker had a surprising run of eight yards in Super Bowl XLVIII.
Problem was, he needed nine.
Lined up for a 31-yard field goal on fourth-and-nine, Tucker was prepared to boot his first career Super Bowl field goal. But it was a fake, and Tucker caught the direct snap and bolted to his left, following the lead block of Ed Dickson. One yard away from the first down marker, Tucker was shoved out of bounds.
At the half, Tucker has contributed three extra points to help Baltimore to a 21-6 lead.

This issue celebrates ten years of LEADERSHIP Journal. During those years, we've never run a letters column-mostly because readers' insights are found all through the journal. But we do get letters.
My assignment on this page-to highlight the journal's impact over ten years-might best begin by looking at themes in those letters.
"Uncanny" timeliness. A young man "struggling to get off on the right foot" in his first pastorate wrote, "I had no sooner received the issue on 'Family Ministry' than the phone rang. A member's granddaughter was fuming from a marital conflict. Several articles helped me develop just the right approach. The granddaughter and spouse have been to church since and are prospects for further ministry."
Another wrote about an article on handling fallout from infidelity. "A year ago, I would have just breezed through it, but three days before it arrived, two women came to me about affairs-one had had one, and the other's husband was having one. Since both of these families are among our closest friends, I was not just professionally challenged; I was personally devastated." He went on to describe "slow but definite progress" being made with both couples. "I am hopeful. Thanks for lending a touch of stability when I really needed it!"
Another pastor wrote, "Every issue seems timed to the tick of my spiritual clock. I struggle with purity. It's encouraging to know a lot of brethren do. 'The War Within Continues' reminded me of the need to reconnect with my wife. Nothing has helped me more consistently since seminary than LEADERSHIP."
Sex and anxiety are practical? LEADERSHIP is "a practical journal," and we've found that all the human aspects of a church leader's life, from anxiety and doubt to identity and ambition, are practical challenges. The editors work hard to face these topics realistically.
Even sex is a practical concern. Here's an unusually honest letter from a 25-year veteran regarding the edition on "Sex": "Dealing with sexuality is very, ...

SHIPROCK — Just weeks after fighting for the survival of her school, the principal of Career Prep High School in Shiprock was let go.

District officials handed Joyce Rock three letters Wednesday, the first of which — to her surprise — was a resignation letter, she said. Though district officials asked her to sign it, Rock refused.
"I didn't resign. It was not truth," she said Thursday. "That's the district's way of not paying unemployment."
District officials had little to say about the placement of Rock on administrative leave. School district spokesman James Preminger said that it was a personnel matter and would not elaborate on why Rock was let go.
The second letter informed her that her contract was not going to be renewed for the next school year.
The third informed her that she was being placed on administrative leave and needed to remove her items from the school immediately.
Rock was not allowed to return to the campus after she received the letters, and she was not allowed to discuss her situation with her fellow employees.
Rock, who has been principal at the alternative high school for four years, said she had been on a growth plan for the past two weeks. A growth plan is to help employees improve their performance in the work environment.
District officials placed Rock on the plan after she openly expressed her disagreement with district Superintendent Don Levinski's idea earlier this month to shut down Career Prep, she said.
Rock spoke openly about her feelings. During meetings, Rock explained that some Career Prep students would not continue their education at other local high schools if the school closed.
Many of the students who enroll at the school are teen parents or have struggled previously at other high schools. For many of them, Career Prep was their last chance, she said.
"I did what was morally right. I don't regret that. It was worth my job," she said.
A last-minute discovery of federal funding ended the plan to close the school. Still, district officials did not like Rock's public statements, she said.
Since being put on a growth plan, however, Rock said she has had only one meeting with her direct supervisor, Phil Kasper, the district director of administration and student success.
The two-week period was insufficient for her to prove growth, or lack thereof, Rock said.
In similar past incidences, the district has maintained that it follows state statutes and district policies when placing employees on leave. At times, it will ask an employee to resign because it will look better on the employee's resume, Preminger said.
Joyce Rock's lawyer and her son, Jim Rock, argued that the district has not consistently followed its own rules.
"Central Consolidated has specific regulations," said Jim Rock, a government lawyer based in Washington, D.C. "It has been wholly inconsistent."
He said that Joyce Rock may take legal action, joining a handful of employees who already are doing so. She currently is looking for work outside the district, though she said she will greatly miss her place at Career Prep.
"I loved my job," she said.
Joyce Rock earned $80,000 a year supervising about a dozen staff and 120 students. Both students and staff spoke of how much they cared for her and the school at the numerous public meetings held when the school's future was uncertain.
Most of the students, however, are unaware that their principal will not be at the school next year because Rock learned the news after the school's last day, May 24.
"She's awesome. She helped me through a lot," said Breanna Yazzie, 17, who will be a senior at Career Prep next year, in a phone interview Thursday. "She did a lot, so I want to know why they fired her. I would like to see the district do a better job."
Rock's contract ends June 13, according to Preminger.
District officials did not take long before posting Rock's position on the district website. They posted the opening on the same day they informed Rock that she no longer had the job.
Also posted Wednesday under open administrative positions was that of dean of students, which previously was the assistant principal position at Tse' Bit Ai' Middle School in Shiprock. The position currently is held by Rose Nofchissey, whose contract ends today. It will not be renewed, Preminger said.
Four other administrative positions are open, along with an additional 65 positions in other employment categories. They can be found under the human resources section on the district website, ccsdnm.org
"It had always been my dream to work on the reservation," Rock said. "We had so much fun, even the last few weeks, but everyone's afraid."

Why, three bags full in fact! Actually, I have so much more than that! But I did get those at the Columbia Gorge Fiber Festival last weekend! I can't really pass up a deal like that - it's scraps and seconds, but $6 for 8 oz of fiber is just too good. Unfortunately I must come across deals like that too often, because I have so, so, so much spinning fiber that I'm quickly running out of places to put it. So, obviously knitting is not my only pastime. Spinning is certainly one of them, and although I wouldn't consider myself to be a great spinner, I love the process of watching a big ball of fluff turn into something wonderful and useable.

At the beginning of the new year, instead of setting resolutions for myself that I knew would be lost after a month or two - I instead tried to come up with a list of crafting goals for myself in 2012. And wouldn't you know it, I have been slowly been tackling new projects and checking off my goals! One of the things I knew I really wanted to try this year was spinning. And aside from the fact that you get to make your own yarn, I just loved the zen-like calm that spinners have about them as they sit at their spinning wheel. Combined with the fact that I had a wealth of information all around me since so many others here at the KP office know how to spin, I finally faced with the fact that it might be time to learn. I had a good chunk of Wool of the Andes Roving in Tidepool Heather that I started on with a drop spindle, and that is where my spinning adventure started! L: Full Circle Roving, R: Full Circle and Wool of the Andes Roving
by Jenny K on April 3, 2012
During the very first sock summit (which was almost three years ago, back in 2009!), I got overtaken by all of the fiber fumes and came home with a drop spindle. I hadn't the faintest clue as to what I was going to do with said drop spindle, but I knew I needed one everytime I walked past someone drop spindling as they were standing around, waiting in line, or just hanging out. After I recovered from the fiber festivities, I tucked my drop spindle away in one of my craft containers. Finally a year or so later, I dusted off my drop spindle after a visit to an alpaca farm where I couldn't resist buying some fiber. From then on out, every few weeks I would break out my spindle to spin up a bit of fiber. It took a while to get the feel for drafting, but every time it got easier and more natural. If you have ever been intrigued by making your own yarn or spinning with a drop spindle, we have an entire 6-part series video class to help you get started! Kelley's Drop Spindling Class covers everything from terminology to drafting, finishing, and even plying your yarn. It really is so much fun and a great way to play with fiber!

I dyed my fiber last year using Greener Shades dyes, then spun it into four different 250g skeins of bulky weight 2-ply, and now I've finally transformed it all into a finished object. When I'm stash busting or using up unlabeled yarn, I tend to create my own patterns that are a) extremely basic and b) allow me to change plans mid-stream in order to work around yarn shortages. For this project, I decided to do a basic crochet ripple afghan - I wanted something soothing that let me really enjoy the texture and colors of my handspun without concentrating on a difficult stitch pattern. I also planned on creating stripes of varying widths so that I had more options for using up the majority of my yarn.

When I first started knitting with my handspun yarn, I can't tell you how many times I've wished for a magical label marked with yarn weight, recommended needle size, yardage, and washing instructions. Over time, I've gotten better about documenting my handspun as I create it; when I don't take notes, though, I have to just wing it! For a recent cross-country trip I decided to give myself a little challenge - I packed nothing but 4 skeins of handspun yarn and an assortment of needle tips and cables. The four skeins I chose were finished more recently, so I hadn't had time to measure the yardage, weigh them, or even match them up with other yarn for projects.

Birch Bay is back! Last time, I had just spun the roving into a (roughly) fingering weight single and was just getting ready to ply the ends together on my wheel at home. Now it's all spun up and ready to knit!
by Hannah on January 11, 2012
Over the past few weeks Birch Bay evolved from an unspun batt, to spun singles and then to a two-ply yarn. Today, I finally finished knitting it into a delightful slouchy hat (a bit slouchier than I intended, but more on that later). I know that I was imagining a red and black hat last time, but I decided to start at the opposite end of the ball and wound up with an (almost) entirely vivid blue hat instead! I love that the colors shift into the dark magentas towards the crown and the shiny strands of sparkle really pop too.

I had a little bit of relaxation time during the holiday season, and it was nice to be able to sink my teeth into some fiber projects (both new and old). I did start a bunch of knitting projects, but I also had time to take my spinning wheel for a, um, spin.
by Hannah on December 14, 2011
Birch Bay is a very, very bright Layered Spinning Batt from Hanks in the Hood. I usually gravitate towards those cool, milky blues or soft, grassy greens like Hoquiam or Mercer Island. Not this time. Birch Bay was calling to me like a hot coal, fresh from the fireplace. Really, in the end I was mostly curious about how the colors would transition and how that fiery red would look plied with the icy blue further inside the batt.

I'm a first-time poster but read through a lot of the posts here before traveling to Cambodia recently. Thanks all for your help. This seems like the right section to post this in but apologies if not. It's not strictly volunteerism related but involves socially responsible travel in general - i.e. I didn't donate time to any organizations but tried to make ethical choices on the places I stayed and services I used.
Anyway, before I left for Cambodia, a friend recommended this guidebook: http://friendshipwithcambodia.org/programs-education.php - as a way to avoid staying in places that exploit others and to help support local organizations. I found the information very up-to-date (as of a few months ago), and all of the organizations/hotels/restaurants it recommends have been thoroughly checked out.
I noticed on their website that they also offer a few guided trips per year, if anyone is interested: http://friendshipwithcambodia.org/travel.php.

Yes, it is very silly. Basically, contractions are Data's kryptonite.

Stoke v Chelsea
Jon Walters scored two own goals and missed a penalty as Chelsea thumped Stoke to end the Potters' 17-game home unbeaten run in the Premier League.
Walters headed a Cesar Azpilicueta cross into his own net just before half-time and repeated his unwanted trick from a Juan Mata corner.
Frank Lampard made it 3-0 from the spot after Mata was fouled and Eden Hazard smashed in a fourth from 30 yards out.
Walters' misery was completed when he blasted a late penalty against the bar.
The 29-year-old Republic of Ireland international has won plenty of plaudits for his play for the Potters this season but his 100th Premier League appearance turned into a memorable day for all the wrong reasons.
Chelsea move third in the table with what became a runaway victory but they were under the cosh for long spells early on and were grateful to assistant referee Sian Massey for correctly reversing a decision to award Stoke a penalty with the score at 1-0.
Referee Andre Marriner pointed to the spot when Azpilicueta slid in to bring down Matthew Etherington inside the area, but Massey had already flagged Etherington offside.
Double the agony for Walters
Three other players have scored two own goals in a single Premier League game - Gary Breen while playing for Coventry against Manchester United in 1997, Liverpool's Jamie Carragher against Manchester United in 1999 and Michael Proctor while playing for Sunderland against Charlton in 2003.
Statistic courtesy of Opta
Stoke, who have never beaten Chelsea at the Britannia Stadium, had begun the game brightly, bombarding the visitors with balls into the box and seeing Kenwyne Jones fire narrowly wide.
Demba Ba was making his Premier League debut for Chelsea but, in the early stages, he was busier in his own area and twice had to hack clear.
Ba, preferred to Fernando Torres up front, got more involved at the other end of the pitch as the half progressed.
He provided the flick for Lampard to burst into the area and bring a reflex save from Asmir Begovic, then ran clear himself to force another fine stop.
Then came Walters first faux pas, which saw him send a bullet header past Begovic as he tried to beat Mata to a cross.
His second own goal came moments after Massey had denied Stoke a penalty. This time Walters beat Lampard to Mata's delivery and saw the ball bounce in.
Lampard's powerful spot-kick, from a penalty awarded when Robert Huth pushed Mata, left the home side with no way back.
Stoke's first home defeat in the league since February last year, and their heaviest at the Britannia Stadium since they returned to the top flight in 2008, was confirmed when Hazard span into space 30 yards from goal and unleashed an unstoppable shot into the top corner.
There was more good news for Chelsea when John Terry came off the bench with 10 minutes left for his first appearance in two months, but there was to be no happy ending for Walters.
He was fouled by Terry inside the area with only seconds to go and stepped up to take the spot-kick himself, only to slam it against the bar.

Totally agree Lads. The bottom line is Rafa will be gone @the end of the season. So whats the big deal? The season is reaching the business end now and it's time for a bit of "all hands on deck". Hell if we get our home form back to normal we have a VERY GOOD chance of finishing 2nd as Citeh are only 4 points away. Providing we beat the Saints @ HOME that is!

Fair play to Chelsea who deserved the win but it changes little for Stoke whos season was never going to be decided against the top 4 clubs. When you look at those fixtures you more or less write them off & if you get something treat it as a bonus. The gap in finances is too great to the top 4 for the likes of Stoke, hardly a level playing field.
Comment number 228. Posted by Sennockianon 14 Jan 2013 08:04
A really good win and Rafa rightly complain about the Stoke defending - the holding is absolutely ridiculous and these guys have international ambitions.
Have my doubts about Rafa's man-management and past purchases and question his tactics sometimes quirks but he has the support of the players so its time we support the badge in the words of Gary Neville its getting boring.

Good win at a tough ground and now we need to beat Soton on Wednesday. Stay positive, stay focused, and above all else, support the badge.

sacroiliac joint instability.. is this classed as a disability
I have just been diagnosed with sacroiliac joint instability having suffered with it for about 5 years! I thought it was sciatica but some days i am so bad and need help with things. I have 3 young children age 6 4 and 18 months, i have fallen down the stairs with my lo because of this and i went flying the other day as my leg gave way when i was chasing my lo!! I have a friend who often takes my 2 eldest to school and picks them up because although i live very close to the school the walk there and back is to painfull and i get worried about falling over if my leg was too give way again... Sometimes i need help to put shoes and socks on and i even need help to turn in bed! I would just love to be able to run around and play with my kids like others! If there is no1 here to help me at times i get so stressed! I am only 23 so am still a bit shocked to find out i have this! Any1 else with this problem? Do you know if i can claim dla for this?
I don't know about the DLA but I had Sacroiliac joint problems which left me flat on my back when my first child was 11 weeks old. It started off with sciatica and when I got up one morning I tore the joint out of position completely which meant I could not stand up as my pelvis wouldn't support me at all. My doctor wouldn't come out to see me and I was left completely helpless, flat on my back for 3 days with a tiny baby to care for. If it hadn't been for my sister caring for the baby I don't know what I would have done. . Like you I couldn't put my shoes on and turning round or getting out of bed was agony. After 3 days my husband took me to our local chiropractor out of complete desperation and I literally crawled into his office. I walked back out. He was brilliant and put me completely back into alignment and although I was in pain I could get about ok. I now have very little trouble as have been given exercises to correct my pelvis when I get sciatica which is the first symptoms of problems starting.
I really sympathise with you, all you can do is ask at either your benefits office or your doctors. If you can afford it I would definately try seeing a chiropracter. I think I would still be lying on the livingroom floor 8 years later if it had been up to my GP.
i think that DLA can be awarded for any condition that means you need help with things. so id say so. all you can do is apply and see what they say, but personally id think you should be entitled to it.

Gosh what a shock, your condition sounds very painful so I do hope that you are receiving good care for the medical professionals.
There is a guide here that will tell you if you would be likely to be awarded DLA.
I hope that you find the guide useful.
I have ehlers danlos and I get dislocations/sublaxations of the SI joint (and hips and knees and ankles to add to the list!)and boy it is so painful - so I can understand how you feel.
I cannot get out of bed some mornings and it can be agony just to try to move an arm let alone my feet. I have to go down the stairs two feet at a time as I cannot put one foot in front of the other lol!!!
I never even thought of claiming TBH but wish you luck.
Have you had any physio for this? I have SI problems and my physio refered me to hospital for prolotherapy. Prolotherapy involves a sugar solution injected into the joint, which stimulates the tendons to repair and strengthen, therefore holding the joint stable. The injections are painful, but so worth it!! I am not 100 % pain free, but I no longer have episodes where I can't walk. Please ask your GP about it, and let us know how your claim goes, as I sometimes wonder whether I will be able to have a job again, luckily we can manage with me as a SAHM.
Good Luck
re DonnaD88
i have also had prolotherapy (aged 18 before diagnosed with EDS) and found it very effective. Am now 24 weeks pregnant with my second child and only just diagnosed with EDS 3, but suffering with major hip and pelvis/sacroiliac pain. wish i had booked in for more prolotherapy before pregnancy and will be getting referred again once the baby is born!
Not able to walk after 29 weeks pregnancy
Hi, sorry to add onto this thread. My back went 6 weeks ago and I've not been able to walk properly since. I'm on crutches but can only just get around the house. Been to physio and guve tubi grip for my bump and lumber support belt. I feel my SI joint click and hav had a burning/stinging sensation in my hip. Sometimes I can't sit on the hip- too painful. Going up stairs at night puts my back into spasm. And lots of muscles in my right buttock. I've not had a diagnosis other than it is the way the baby is lying, but I've had pain in my bum since about 16 weeks it has just go
Continuing: it's got progressively worse. I'm going to be induced in two weeks time. I am really scared that I will be in huge pain with back let alone labour. Then worried what will happen after birth and when I will be able to walk again properly. Anyone had anything similar to this? Thanks Sarah

Lynched 'Israeli collaborator' was rival Islamist
Posted By -NO AUTHOR- On 11/26/2012 @ 11:39 am In Front Page,Politics,World | No Comments
(LONDON DAILY MAIL) Tearful and scared, the three-year-old girl knows little of what lies behind the tension and turmoil gripping her homeland.
She merely holds tight a picture of her father the way she will want to remember him.
The youngster will certainly do best to forget the images that so shocked the world last week.
For even in a land synonymous with violence, the way her father died seemed unusually inhumane.

the City of Green is proposing a new park that would be named Central Park as the focus of the "Central Green" area.
With Massillon Road being the main corridor through the City of Green, the need – or the want – of a downtown area for the city has grown.
"There has long been a desire by many people to have what is often referred to as a 'downtown' and for us it seems to be the wrong word," Mayor Dick Norton said. "It doesn't seem to really connote what we are trying to accomplish so we have chosen 'Central Green.' It is really is going to be where buildings and enterprises come together in a central place."
So, the City of Green is proposing a new park that would be named Central Park as the focus of the "Central Green" area.
During its regular meeting June 25 Green City Council heard from Director of Planning and Urban Design Tony Slanec of OHM Advisors who presented council with it's first view of the concept of Central Park.
"When we were doing the Massillon Road plan this birthed from that plan," Slanec said. "Not only is it a non traditional park, it's a community space; it's a community heart and economic development tool. It's an attractor for not only residents but for businesses and potential development."
The park would be located on five acres between Town Park Boulevard and Steese Road. The proposed plan for the park would include an amphitheater that could seat up to 525 people, a splash pad, a playground, a sensory and vegetable garden for senior citizens, walking trails, restrooms, a concession stand and a pavilion. The park would also expand the existing pond into a small lake with a connecting walking bridge.
The park is projected to cost $5 million.
Norton explained that the 7 percent income tax the city is required to use for parks capital projects brings in $1.2 Million annually. He expects the city will have to issue debt to pay for the park.
But the idea of a park close to residents brought some residents to the council meeting to voice their concerns.
"It's not that we are opposed to the Central Park per se but more it's location and the continue onslaught over the years of noise and activities in this area," explained resident Terry Walton.
Walton presented the Clerk of Council with a petition signed by 36 residents opposing the proposed park.
Resident Karl Kerstetter voiced his concern regarding the planned amphitheater.
"You are looking conceptually at putting an amphitheater with 525 people in there," Kerstetter said. "You are going to have traffic concerns."
Kerstetter also stated his concern over the amphitheater being close to two senior centers, the GreenView Senior Assisted Living on Massillon Road and the Retirement Residence of Green on Town Crossing.
"It's only five acres, it's a tiny parcel of land," resident Susan Rhoades said. "I believe the amphitheater needs to be moved to a larger area away from the residential area."
Page 2 of 2 - The project is still in the conceptual phase.
Council has not been presented with legislation regarding the plans or cost of the project yet. Mre discussion and public input is expected in the next few months.
If approved, however, Norton hopes to begin park construction in late 2015 with a completion date in 2016.

Woman Terrorizes Plane With Fake Leg, Slaps Passengers, Demands Smokes
A woman on a flight to Edinburgh went ballistic when she was told she couldn't have her own parachute or smoke cigarettes on her flight. That's when the prosthetic leg came off and the terror started. If this were a Lifetime movie, it would be called Legs On a Plane and would star Aviva Drescher. Unfortunately, this… »

My barn is almost done and hopefully within a week or so, I will have my horses here. I would like an intercom from the house to the barn so that I can hear any problems if the horses are in their stalls. It will also help if I am in the barn and the kids are in the house.
Anyone have any good brands/types to suggest? How about ones to avoid? We only have about 200 feet between the house and the barn.

- WIPP radiation leak raises questions about future for nuclear waste around the country
CARLSBAD >> A month has passed since two accidents halted operations at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant, leaving the immediate future of waste cleanup sites scattered across the country in temporary limbo.
Many laboratories around the country depend on WIPP, located 26 miles east of Carlsbad, for the disposal of transuranic nuclear waste and both federal and state officials are weighing all options with no set date for resuming waste disposal.
"We are looking at other waste generator sites as options to minimize the effects from the stoppage at WIPP," said Brad Bugger, a DOE employee based at Idaho National Laboratory, who is in Carlsbad to assist with the ongoing radiation situation.
If WIPP can't reopen in time to hit the target cleanup dates for Los Alamos National Laboratory and other cleanup sites, Bugger said the federal government is discussing possible alternatives for the waste. He said he couldn't yet name potential alternative disposal sites, but added the DOE is still "committed to meeting the obligations."
LANL has shipped 3,160 cubic meters of waste to WIPP for disposal, exceeding its target for February. LANL must clean up a total of 3,706 cubic meters of waste by June 30 according to an agreement between the DOE and the State of New Mexico.
New Mexico Environment Department Secretary Ryan Flynn has been adamant that all waste be removed from LANL by the target date, referred to as "Campaign 3706," and voiced his frustration with the DOE's cleanup effort nearly two weeks ago during a WIPP news conference.
"Come hell or high water, we want that waste off the hill and I do not intend to renegotiate that deadline at this time," Flynn said on Feb. 20.
The remaining waste from LANL is currently stored in an outside dome in the city of Los Alamos and Flynn said on Tuesday that it is a potential public health hazard as long as the waste is not removed. The 2011 Las Conchas fire in Northern New Mexico threatened LANL and caused many residents to fear the possibility that the TRU waste could become a victim to the flames.
"It's been a dry winter and we're still on course for a severe drought ... waste removal would eliminate the risk," Flynn said. "I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure the campaign is a success."
The complications first began at WIPP on Feb. 5 when a salt hauler caught on fire underground in the facility's north mine, forcing immediate evacuations. Six employees were treated for smoke inhalation at Carlsbad Medical Center.
Operations remained halted at WIPP because of the ongoing fire investigation when a radiation leak was detected underground in south mine on Feb. 15. Airborne radiation with traces of plutonium and americium was later found approximately a half mile outside of the facility a few days later.
Thirteen employees at the nuclear waste repository were later found to have inhaled traces of americium in preliminary exams, according to information released by the DOE on Feb. 27.
WIPP had been receiving an average of 16 barrels of waste per week before transportation and disposal was discontinued due to the fire. Most of the waste WIPP had been receiving came from LANL, Idaho National Laboratory and Savannah River in South Carolina, according to DOE officials.
WIPP has received 43,005 cubic meters of waste from INL, 17,582 cubic meters from Savannah River Site and 5,060 cubic meters from the Hanford Site in Washington state according to Bugger.
LANL and INL are still processing, treating and packaging waste in an effort to stay on schedule to meet waste removal deadlines to Bugger.
"It's still early to determine how much of an affect the non-shipping has on cleanup," said Susan Burke, the INL coordinator for the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality. "Overall I think the cleanup progress (at INL) has been very good. Most milestones have been met by DOE."
Burke said the state of Idaho has vaguely discussed potential contingency plans as well, but nothing concrete.
WIPP opened in 1999 and disposes transuranic waste, commonly referred to at "TRU," into the Permian-age salt bedrock 2,150 feet below ground. Most of the waste WIPP receives is primarily low-level, solid materials such as discarded tools and cloths used in the manufacturing of Cold War-era nuclear weapons.

Ellen DeGeneres The New Face of Cover Girl
Beauty Byte: CoverGirl Signs Ellen DeGeneres
by Beauty
Like us on Facebook
Beginning in January, newlywed Ellen DeGeneres will appear in CoverGirl ads. In an official statement released today, a company spokesperson said, "Her beauty and down-to-earth personality fit perfectly with what CoverGirl represents." Ellen's low-key appeal may make her a much more modern and relatable CoverGirl than, say, Christie Brinkley. What do you think of this surprising pairing?

Shut up!! I can't see her as the spokesmodel for a makeup company. That is just too weird. I might not buy their stuff anymore.

I love it! Ellen is much more the type of beauty that most women are then say a model or big time actress.

I love it! I think it's a brilliant idea. moving away from the "idealized" beauty to someone more realistic/real is a great move.

i do think it's a bit surprising, but i love ellen and i agree.. she would appeal to other demographics that covergirl might be seeking. she's got the whole low-key, less is more thing with makeup, so i think it's a good move

JaimeLeah526 7 years
I like this idea. It just shows that you don't have to be sexy to be beautiful. Congrats Ellen.
soulight 7 years
I definitely think it's an interesting move on Cover Girl's part, but probably very smart. A lot of women think that make up requires a huge time and monetary commitment which many don't have, so Ellen would probably that little can go a long way. You don't have to look like you have make up on to wear make up, just accentuate the positive, play down the not-so-positive.
psychobabble 7 years
I guess she'll fit in with the group of women that like super natural makeup, to the point where it doesn't look like you're wearing any. I think it's a smart move to widen their demographic!

I think it is odd.... I wouldn't picture Ellen as someone who wears makeup outside of her TV show. I think Portia would have been the better fit.
Jude-C 7 years
It's an unusual thought, and I'm usually not all that fond of the "real women" beauty ad campaigns (sorry--I'm a beauty purist ;) ), but I do like this. It's a smart move on Cover Girl's part; it'll help appeal to more consumers.

Tom Brady, Danny Amendola work out together at USC
|04.02.13 at 5:40 pm ET
Danny Amendola talked about getting together with quarterback Tom Brady this week, and it appears that they have managed to connect. According to the USC Atheltics Twitter feed, the two were together working out at USC on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Tee Martin — a former member of the "Brady 6″ who is now the USC receivers coach — took it a step further and got photographic evidence from his office.
'I've talked with Tom a couple times ' just trying to get some scheduling down [figuring out when] we want to get together and throw here ' starting probably next week ' and go from there,' Amendola told 101ESPN St. Louis last week. 'I'm ready to get working with him.'
The offseason workouts in Southern California were an annual staple of the relationship between Brady and Wes Welker, as the two spent plenty of time together in hopes of building a bond. This year's offseason sessions were also set to include tight end Aaron Hernandez, but it didn't appear that Hernandez of Tuesday's workout.

Using the Lyapunov Exponent as a Practical Test for Noisy Chaos
Ahmed BenSaïda
Faculty of Economics and Management
March 10, 2007
This paper presents a practical framework to test chaotic dynamics even for noisy systems as opposed to stochastic dynamics. It elaborates an-easy-to-use and comprehensive algorithm to build a program to test chaos based on theoretical studies. A version of MATLAB m-code is provided in the appendix. Monte-Carlo simulations have confirmed that this test is powerful in detecting chaotic dynamics even in presence of moderate noises.

These words underscore our institutional mission to improve health for all people of Texas and around the world. Dr. King also invites us to reflect on the institutional pillar of community and the role it plays in helping to fulfill our mission. For example, he states that "Life's most persistent and urgent question is: What are you doing for others?"

It's difficult to imagine any team at any level across the county that has dominated its sport like the Brecksville-Broadview Heights gymnastics team.
This week, the Bees will be going for their 10th straight state championship in Columbus.
If they win on Saturday that will mean an undefeated decade for the Bees -- that's right, 10 straight years without a loss in a single dual or tournament since 2003, 777 straight victories in single, dual or tournaments.
"That's such a big number," Senior Captain Gabi House says. "I don't know any other sports team or person who has ever accomplished that in their career and to just be a part of a team that has accomplished that, that is life-changing and something that I will remember the rest of my life."
The pressure is not winning another state title but in not being the first team to lose one.
"You don't want to be the girl that made Brecksville lose," Senior Captain Jessie Matia says. "And, that is in everybody's head."
The Brecksville-Broadview Heights team has been coached by the Ganim family for a combined 31 years.
Joan Ganim, the team's head coach, said she's not ready for retirement just yet.
"What am I going to do? Sit at home? No thank you," she says.
The Bees did not have a worry free season. Senior Captain Madison Weisbarth broke her neck in November during practice on the floor exercise. She was practicing a move she had done numerous times -- but this time she landed wrong suffering three fractures in her discs ending her season and her career in gymnastics.
Weisbarth leaned on the shoulder of her teammates to get through this ordeal.
"It has been very difficult for me, but if I didn't have the support of my teammates I don't think I would have been able to make it through the season" Weisbarth says. "But they pushed me through the season and made me very proud to watch and I really do not know where I would be without them."
It is that leadership that has set this year's Brecksville-Broadview Heights team apart from the rest.
"They've come together Ganim says. "You have a lot of seniors that have been together for four full years and they have learned what a team is all about."
We will find out Saturday down at Hilliard Darby High School in Columbus if it's that leadership that will bring a 10th consecutive state championship to Bees this year.

Hello to the experienced riding instructors out there. I have been trying to think of different horse jobs I might like to be apart of, and to be completely honest, no idea has ever really got to me like being a riding instructor. And not just any riding instructor.
You see, ever since I met my friend who has Cerebral Palsy, I have been deeply interested in working up to being a riding instructor for students who require therapeutic horses, just as my dear friend does. (She used to ride hunter/jumper, and owned two of her own horses until a twist of horrid events.)
My whole dream? To someday have a little ranch that doubles as a retirement for aged horses, and a drop-off point for horses that can no longer be homed by their owners. Horses found suitable will be used as therapy horses, and previous owners will always be welcome to visit their horses to see how they're fairing in their new home. This includes horses bought, donated, and placed in retirement. Bought horses, if young enough, will be thoroughly trained and donated to low-income homes and boarded for low-charge or free under special conditions. Donated horses, with permission, will also be donated to other homes with special-needs children.
I really love this idea, and I know it will take a lot out of me. But it fits my personality, and I would love to train children who are not special-needs to help financially.
Before I can ever do this though, I obviously need experience in training children on horseback. Right now, I am doing a friend a favor and training his child in horsemanship. This has only pushed the idea and dream further, and I wanted opinions.
I know it's a big dream, and that may be all it is, but I'd like to think it perfectly possible.

Welcome to Stephen W. Hawking Math and Science Charter School! Our school opened its doors on July 25, 2012. We are a team of passionate educators with a big vision:
To provide a state of the art project based program integrating STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Mathematics) beginning in Pre-Kindergarten through college.
We currently are serving grades pre-kindergarten through fourth grade and will continue our growth annually. We believe that in order for true educational transformation to occur, a school needs to be in partnership with the community it serves.
Together as a community we will transform the current status quo occurring in our educational system into a transition that will prepare our children with the critical thinking skills and creativity that will be required for them to not only succeed but excel in the 21st century.

"Tanorexia" Not Just a Jersey Problem -- New York's Melanoma Rate Climbs 72-Percent In 10 Years
As "tanning mom" Patricia Krentcil's 15 minutes appear to be winding down, the fact that the New Jersey mom allegedly took her 5-year-old daughter tanning continues to impact public policy.
On Monday, dubbed "Melanoma Monday" in New Jersey by the American Cancer Society, public health advocates lobbied state legislators to pass a bill that would ban anyone under 18 years old from using tanning beds. Now, they're doing the same in New York, where they say melanoma rates have jumped 72-percent in the last 10 years.
"It's no coincidence that we're facing a melanoma crisis at the same time there's a proliferation of indoor tanning salons," Russ Sciandra, New York director of advocacy for the American Cancer Society of NY & NJ. "Indoor tanning increases risk of developing cancer. Many teens don't see their behavior as dangerous and many parents don't fully understand what's at stake."
Sciandra is urging state lawmakers to pass a bill that would place a ban -- similar to the one proposed in New Jersey -- on kids under 18 using indoor tanning devices.
The bill (S.2917) is sponsored by Senator Charles Fuschillo and already has passed in the Assembly, where it's sponsored by Assemblyman Harvey Weisenberg. According to the ACC, the bill has the support of leaders in the medical community, such as the Medical Society of the State of New York, Roswell Park Cancer Institute, The Cancer Center Leadership Group of the New York State Cancer Consortium, the American Academy of Dermatology Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics.
The group says similar laws have been enacted in California and Vermont.
While another New York law designed to protect citizens from themselves seems about par for the course for the Empire State, it wouldn't be necessary if parents just did their job and kept kids out of tanning booths.
