|ABSTRACT: Labeled leukocyte scintigraphy and F-FDG PET are well-documented techniques for the assessment of inflammatory bowel disease. In this study, a 28-year-old man with abdominal pain, vomiting, and raised serum amylase and lipase levels underwent PET/CT imaging using FDG-labeled autologous leukocytes to assess for pancreatic infection. While the pancreas showed no abnormal tracer uptake, colonic inflammation was incidentally detected, and a diagnosis of pseudomembranous colitis was subsequently confirmed on colonoscopy and biopsy.

My research focuses on the intersection of gender, representation, and power in early modern France. I have published on the representation of Anne of Austria (1601-1666), Marie Leszczinska (1703-1768), and Madame de Pompadour (1721-1764), and I am working on a manuscript on the representation of queenship in eighteenth-century France. I am also interested in Salon criticism, fashion, and portraiture in addition to the work of women art laborers – women not traditionally considered 'artists' – in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century France and England, including art restorers, wax sculptors, and studio assistants.
My courses take a visual culture approach to images and representations from both the past and the present. In Introduction to Visual Culture, we examine visual expression to understand and engage the culture in which these representations are produced and encountered. Students in the course develop critical thinking, writing, and viewing skills while discussing and examining images -- everything from fine art to advertising to television, film, and new media. Imaging Authority examines the way that rulers and political leaders are portrayed in light of concepts of gender, power, and authority. We begin with the Tudors (including Henry VIII and Elizabeth I), who ruled England in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, then look at the imagery of the Bourbon monarchs in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century France. The course concludes with contemporary political representation in the United States with particular emphasis on the presidency. Gender and Visual Culture looks at a wide variety of representations in relation to the issues of gender, race, class, and sexuality. In this course, we will contextualize images within particular historical and cultural formations in order to analyze the beliefs, assumptions, and attitudes held by the creators and shared or resisted by those who view them. I also lead a seminar on material culture called Things, Stuff, and Objects. In this course, we study material objects – including furniture, digital technologies, porcelain, and sugar – often at the center of lived experience, but on the periphery of academic study. This course will consider the function and setting of these objects, but also their circulation and meaning in a global context.
In May-June 2010, Professor Lauren O'Connell and I offered a 10-day study abroad opportunity called Art and Politics in Paris: Reading Power in Space and Image. The course examined questions of political power in relationship to buildings, public spaces, and visual representations located in and around Paris, France. Professors Germann and O'Connell are working with Professor John Barr (Computer Science) on a dedicated iPad app for future offerings of this short-term study abroad course.

I will try to make this long story short. Customer purchased a bag from my online e-boutique. I run and own a small e-shop and I am the person who checks the goods RIGHT before they go into the box to be shipped---I am pretty crazy about QC and really check everything over 3 times--Just launched, I want to make my business a success and want to provide great stuff and great service.
Customer gets bag and claims it was "damaged, old and used". The customer sends photos of a used and damaged, dirt bag and I realize it is NOT the same bag I sent as the bag the customer received from me (and the ONLY BAG my shop carries) has a black interior and the one the photos showed that customer sent had a white interior. Customer has now charged back the purchase, just over $500. I am in the process of responding to the claims and am having the case reviewed by Global Pay. ANyways, a package shows up at my door the other day and I see that it was from the customer, I 'refuse' it and send it back as my policy states that NO RETURNS on HANDBAGS & if you DO want to return you must contact me for an Return Auth. number and ALL returns without an RA number will be refused & returned to sender---that's what I did. Customer calls me and leaves a nasty VM and also follows up with several very nasty emails (claiming they will make me 'pay for your mistakes'). Currently customer has the bag (both bags--the new one I sent and her old one) as well as my $500.00.
Has any one had this happen to them? What was the outcome, what should I do to better my chances of winning? Also, if I DO get my money back, can she sue, what can she do? Thank You all!!! Just wanted to mention I do not use Paypal, it's all done via a merchant services account and I take Visa, MC, etc....no paypal.

From Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth via 911 Truth News:
At 9:11 pm on the 9th anniversary of the September attacks, the members of the 1280 strong Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth lit up the skies over Manhattan with a towering 2 billion-candlepower beam of light to raise public awareness that three, not just two, World Trade Center highrise buildings collapsed symmetrically at near freefall acceleration on 9/11, though only two were hit by planes.
'Why is there a Third Beam in my skyline?' New Yorkers are asking tonight. Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth founder Richard Gage, AIA, who held a press conference earlier in the day at the now-rebuilt WTC 7 with victims family members, states "The people of New York need to see the light – that a third WTC skyscraper not hit by any plane was destroyed on Sept. 11. They have been deceived about what happened on that terrible day. We are shining the spotlight, literally, on the fact that the official story of what happened at Ground Zero simply cannot be true and that a truly independent new investigation is needed both as a matter of national security and as the key to justice for the victims of the Twin Towers."
"Building 7 is a 'Smoking Gun of the 9/11 crime scene" Gage said. "We hope that after tonight, New Yorkers will see September 11th in a whole new light."

We've always been a fan of The Amazing-Spider-Man actress Emma Stone's fabulous fashion sense, but it took us by surprise when the young starlet beat Kate Middleton in InStyle's 'Best Dressed' list.
Emma, 24, who is dating her Spider Man co-star and on screen hero Andrew Garfield, tops our best dressed lists on the regular with her quirky yet raffiné style which sets her apart from other high end designer wearers.
She most recently wowed at the Vogue Awards last night in a Burberry outfit consisting of a midnight blue peplum bodice and glittery green skirt teamed with Christian Louboutin stilettos.
Emma Stone and Kristen Stewart beat Kate Middleton in the style stakes - Splash
'Troy' actress and ultimate style maven Diane Kruger was ranked second, with the face of Balenciaga and Twilight star Kristen Stewart coming in at third place with her £32,000 fashion bill since her cheating scandal paying off for her style rep.
Kristen made headlines earlier this week when she stunned in a naked-esque Zuhair Murad golden gown featuring lace and sheer panels, and fully exposed her bum and slender pins.
TV presenter and contributing editor of Vogue, Alexa Chung, flew the flag first for British style at number four, whilst Victoria Beckham, Kate Middleton, Kate Moss, Suri Cruise and Florence Welch filled out the rest of the top 10.
Kate Middleton often stuns in iconic designers like this Alexander McQueen dress - Splash
Other Brits to make the cut included Pixie Geldof at number 23, Cheryl Cole at 42 and Emma Watson at 48th – we're highly surprised that the Harry Potter actress was ranked so low.
''From Emma Stone to Frieda Pinto, Instyle's top 50 best dressed women, men (and little girls) each have a very individual inspirational style,'' Eilidh MacAskill, editor of InStyle said.
Robert Pattinson, David Beckham, Ryan Gosling, Andrew Garfield and Eddie Redmayne were amongst the gentlemen to make InStyle's list of best dressed men.
InStyle's Top 10 best dressed women:
1. Emma Stone
2. Diane Kruger
3. Kristen Stewart
4. Alexa Chung
5. Kate Bosworth
6. Victoria Beckham
7. The Duchess of Cambridge
8. Kate Moss
9. Suri Cruise

One of the greatest dilemmas for manufacturers in today's changing marketplace is the decision on how to split technology once brands are divided and sold off.
In this particular situation, Saab Cars North America has reached an agreement with OnStar to continue offering the subscription in-car safety service to its customers under the automaker's new owner, Spyker Cars NV. OnStar is a General Motors product, and now that Saab has new owners and is being built in Sweden, it's not necessarily a technology that must stay with the brand.

Northstar Licenses Turbine Tower IP To Brazilian Company
|in News Departments > FYI
U.S.-based Northstar Endeavors LLC, dba Northstar Wind, has granted Alphatec Nordeste the exclusive license to design, manufacture, construct and sell wind towers using Northstar's intellectual property (IP) in Brazil.
Northstar says its Northstar Modular Tower (NMT) design provides the megawatt wind industry a solution to build taller towers at heights up to 140 meters, and Alphatec will be expanding its energy-related businesses by developing towers utilizing Northstar's IP. Alphatec is also building a dedicated manufacturing facility for the towers and tower components, which is scheduled to come online in 2016.
"This agreement launches our global initiative of licensing our technology for our modular tower solution," says Jeff Willis, president of Northstar. "We could not be more excited about teaming up with Alphatec and their team to help them to become a major tower supplier in the Brazilian market."

Nearing 25 years together, WPXI anchors Johnson, Finnegan defy odds
No one ever said television news wasn't a crazy business, David Johnson says.
"You can be good, and they'll get rid of you. You can be bad, and they'll get rid of you," the veteran WPXI anchor says.
What makes an anchor or reporter popular can sometimes be so subjective and arbitrary, says Peggy Finnegan, Johnson's co-anchor for the 5 and 5:30 p.m. weekday news. "They may not like your hair or how you speak or that you smile too often or don't smile enough."
And when it comes to achieving longevity as an anchor team, there are more potential obstacles working against that happening, from ratings to research, than there are in your favor, Finnegan says.
But despite the odds, Johnson and Finnegan — who are closing in on 25 years together in January — are already the longest-running local news-anchor team in Pittsburgh television history and one of the longest in the nation.
Twenty-five years for a single anchor is extraordinary, says Robert Thompson, professor of media and culture at Syracuse University.
"For a team to stay together for 25 years is almost unheard of," Thompson says. "You're talking about two different people who have to be incredibly stable in a field that is unstable. Those in TV news tend to move around all over the place, to bigger markets or for personal reasons, or new management shakes things up and they're fired."
After an anchor team reaches 10 years together, they have the advantage of nostalgia working, he says. "When you have that kind of continuity of 25 years together, a lot of people living in Pittsburgh may never have known a world without these two people together. A lot of these viewers' parents may have broken up, but these anchors are still together."
Their achievement, begun in 1990, surprises even Johnson, who has been in television journalism for 35 years, and Finnegan, who got her start in radio in 1982 before moving to TV in 1983. Johnson has been through 11 news directors and two general managers since coming to the station in 1985.
When he arrived in Pittsburgh, Johnson decided to give it three years and then re-evaluate. "You just never know when you get hired some place if you'll catch on, if they'll like you and you'll like them, or if you'll connect with your co-anchor," he says. "We loved it."
Finnegan's original intent was to work for a few years in Pittsburgh — "a great TV market," she says — and then move on to a larger city. "Nothing like marrying a Pittsburgh boy and starting a family to make you realize you're exactly where you're supposed to be," she says.
Pittsburgh loyalty
Pittsburgh residents' loyalty to what they like is legendary, Finnegan says.
"I remember all the cards and letters from viewers when I had my first baby, and the support I received when I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1994 was unbelievable," Finnegan says.
"It meant the world to me and carried me through a tough time. I may be from Chicago originally, but I am definitely a Pittsburgher now."
Johnson, a Jacksonville, Fla., native, concurs.
Viewers feel comfortable enough to approach the anchors to offer praise and even ask about their families "like they've known us forever," Finnegan says.
"They are so comfortable with each other that they make the viewer feel comfortable," says Ray Carter, station vice president and general manager. "I've had people tell me they wished they had a neighbor like David, and I've heard from women who wished Peggy was their daughter-in-law. You have to work pretty hard to merit a place like that in viewers' hearts.
"Peggy has a mother's heart, and she connects on a unique level with the people we cover and the problems they encounter," he says. "David is whip smart and has a very quick wit. If he weren't doing local news, he'd be doing stand-up comedy somewhere. If you ever get to hear his Tom Brokaw impression, it's worth a listen."
They are real people, news director Mike Oliveira says.
"I think viewers love and respect David and Peggy because their personalities come though on the air," he says. "You have two smart, kind and caring people, providing context and comfort when they have to deliver sad news. They respect the viewers and work hard for them. "
A long tradition
Pittsburgh has a long tradition of anchor teams staying together for years, Carter says. "I don't know if we Pittsburghers always appreciate the fact that we do have familiar faces who choose to spend their careers here. It's certainly not that way in many other television markets."
Finnegan and Johnson say they clicked from the beginning.
And for the record, they are not married to each other. If there still are some viewers who think they are, both anchors say they take that as a compliment.
"I'm flattered that anyone thought that, because it means we have a nice chemistry together," Finnegan says. "But Nancy Polinsky is David's perfect match. They really have a wonderful marriage. And so do I with my husband, Mike Donnelly. Maybe that's another reason for our longevity. We have happy, stable lives with no drama to distract us from our work."
In some ways, Thompson says, an anchor team is a "metaphoric marriage."
"It's like long-term partners on a police force who go out every day on the job. They have a relationship like no other, he says.
"It's just like partners in a business, executives and executive assistants, who are sometimes together an entire career. News anchors are like that," Thompson says.
"David is super friendly and very easy to get along with. Everyone who works at Channel 11 loves him. I'm probably his biggest fan," Finnegan says. "Part of what David and I have together is mutual respect and admiration for the abilities and talents of the other. When you add that we also truly like each other, you've got the foundation for a good team."
Johnson offers this assessment: "I think we're both good journalists. I'm not bad at being a 'hard news' reader. She is so wonderful at delivering emotion and compassion. I don't possess that like she does. Together, it seems to work.
"She is a good reporter who, as such a good person and mother, can translate that in a way the viewer can relate to, better than I can. She's Catholic, I'm Jewish. She lives in the suburbs, I live in the city. We have some contrasts, but we love each other and love working together."
They've developed an on-air communication, whether it is a glance, a pause or a nudge under the desk, that keeps newscasts flowing smoothly.
What Finnegan calls "the toughest day of my career" proved to be one of their most memorable on air together.
She was home sick with a fever the morning of 9/11. After the second tower fell, she and Johnson were on the set from morning until night.
"Both of us were functioning in full news mode, gathering and dispensing information and conducting interviews, while at the same time, we were parents and citizens frightened and grieving like everyone else," she says.
"Peggy is the reason we've had success," Johnson insists. "When I arrived, they called WPXI 'the revolving door' because so many anchors came and went. Our pairing somehow worked and it changed how people viewed Channel 11."

It came as no surprise when, last June, Tom Udall (D-New Mexico) and 44 other senators, all Democrats with two Independents, proposed a campaign finance amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Ever since the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision, in 2010, Democrats and their surrogates in the media and allied advocacy groups, worried that the case would work to their political disadvantage, have been on a mission to find some way around it.
So what's the amendment all about? S.J. Resolution 19, as it's called, proposes to allow Congress to regulate contributions to candidates for federal ...

RDA 8.01 - Now A Better Experience for WebLogic Administrators
By Daniel Mortimer-Oracle on Oct 07, 2013
What is RDA?
Not familiar with RDA (Remote Diagnostic Agent)? Well I won't use this blog entry to provide a lesson, but if you want to learn more, take a look at these two support articles:
- Get Proactive with Fusion Middleware : Resolve Problems Faster! Use Remote Diagnostic Agent [ID 1498376.1]
- How to Run Remote Diagnostic Agent ( RDA ) Against Oracle WebLogic Server ( WLS ) [ID 1262157.1]
Too many questions in set up
"I have to answer too many questions at set up time!". The first of two criticisms leveled at a RDA collection which targeted a WebLogic Server based technology stack. Well I pleased to say that the number of questions of has been reduced.
If, for example, you set up RDA using the "WebLogicServer" profile, you will encounter a set up dialogue similar to the one copied / pasted from a Weblogic 12c solution, on Unix, below.
Tip: Work through the set up questions a little quicker by configuring your environment variables to point at your Middleware Home and location of your WebLogic domain prior to running RDA set up. Doing so, allows RDA to find default values for certain questions, which means you can just hit return and move on.
# Setting the environment
. /home/oracle/app/FMW12c_1212/config/user_projects/domains/my_domain/bin/setDomainEnv.sh
ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/app/FMW12c_1212/oh; export ORACLE_HOME
# Running RDA set up
cd /home/oracle/software/rda
./rda.sh -S -p WebLogicServer
# Set up dialogue
Enter the network domain name for this server
> uk.acme.com
Enter the Oracle home to be used for data analysis
Hit "Return" to accept the default (/home/oracle/app/FMW12c_1212/oh)
Enter the location of the directory where the domains to analyze are located
(For example in UNIX, <BEA Home>/user_projects/domains or
<Middleware Home>/user_projects/domains)
Hit "Return" to accept the default
For a successful WLS connection, ensure that the domain Admin Server is up
and running.
Data Collection Type:
1 Perform offline collection
2 Perform online collection (using WLS connection)
Enter the item number
Hit "Return" to accept the default (2)
Select a Oracle WebLogic Server domain home target list:
1 Domain my_domain (in
A All Oracle WebLogic Server domain home targets
D Define a new Oracle WebLogic Server domain home target
E Edit an Oracle WebLogic Server domain home target
N No Oracle WebLogic Server domain home targets
Enter your selection, as a comma-separated list of item numbers or ranges
Hit "Return" to accept the default (1)
Server list for 'my_domain' domain:
1 AdminServer
2 ms3
Enter your selection, as a comma-separated list of item numbers or ranges
Hit "Return" to accept the default (1-2)
Are custom scripts used to start Oracle WebLogic servers (Y/N)?
Hit "Return" to accept the default (N) > # The next prompt concerns OCM. You are not required to configure OCM. # If time is short, just answer 'N' RDA benefits from Oracle Configuration Manager by improving its data collection. Oracle Configuration Manager (OCM) collects the configuration information and uploads it to the OCM Repository in connected mode. When OCM is configured in disconnected mode, it adds the OCM payload to the RDA report packages in future RDA runs. Pending Configurations in /home/oracle/app/FMW12c_1212/oh: MH_T0001 Middleware home /home/oracle/app/FMW12c_1212/oh Hit 'Return' to continue Do you want RDA to configure OCM now (Y/N)? Hit "Return" to accept the default (Y) > N
# After answering the prompts set up will be complete. # Now just launch the command line script (no parameters) # to run the collection ./rda.sh
"Cannot see the wood for the trees" in the output
This is the second of the criticisms. RDA does collects many files and metrics - this is one its strengths. Yet I think it is fair to say that the presentation of WebLogic Server data in the RDA Start Menu (generated as part of the output) lacked some order and structure. For example, server log files were somewhat buried, and similarly, unless you knew to scroll down to WLST collections, you could not easily ascertain the basic contents of a targeted Weblogic domain. In RDA 8.01, the sub menus for the WebLogic Domain and Servers have been re-ordered to address this concern. Review the screenshots below.
Figure 1 : WebLogic Domain Sub Menu
Note: In the Main Index, RDA will only list managed servers which have been targeted for collection. In this example, only AdminServer and ms3 were targeted for collection. Yet we can see from the Domain MBeans that the domain contains other managed servers and a cluster.

Gozie Ugwu: Reading striker joins Shrewsbury Town on loan
Shrewsbury Town have brought in young Reading striker Gozie Ugwu on a youth loan deal until 2 January.
The 20-year-old Reading youth product will be making his fourth loan move away from the Madejski Stadium.
The 6ft 1ins forward will fill the void left by loan man Cristian Lopez, who was called back last week by injury-hit parent club Huddersfield Town.
Gozie Ugwu's goals
- Notched four goals in eight starts in his first loan move to Ebbsfleet in January 2012.
- He then scored three times for Yeovil last season, before spending two months late on in the season at Plymouth
Shrewsbury boss Graham Turner also currently has another young striker there on loan, Wolves' Liam McAlinden.
The Republic of Ireland-qualified former Northern Ireland youth international, also 20, who has so far scored twice in five games, is due to return for Saturday's trip to Port Vale.
After speculation that he might in fact be allowed to play, McAlinden was forced to miss last weekend's FA Cup first-round tie at Walsall as his parent club did not want him cup-tied.
Town also currently have two other loan signings, Middlesbrough winger Adam Reach and Preston North End midfielder Nicky Wroe.

Babe Waxpak: Will Helmar baseball stamps paste some cash in collector's wallet?
Dear Babe: I was going through a bag of early 1900s postage stamps and came across three baseball cards or stamps of sorts (image attached). They show Jimmy Sheckard of Chicago, Nat., Dots Miller of Pittsburgh, Nat., and Johnny Evers of Chicago, Nat. They are approximately 1 1/2 (inches) by 1 inch in size. They do not have any adhesive on the back like a postage stamp. I was wondering if you could tell me a little about them, where they came from, and if there is any value to them. There is some paper damage on two of them on bottom right.

C Alex Mack A
He's been a starter from game one, has played pretty well, and improves by the game. No reason he won't be one of the top centers in a short time.
WR Brian Robiskie C-
He just started getting on the field and although in limited time, he has looked promising, he has hardly been the most NFL ready receiver he was supposed to be.
WR Mohammed Massaquoi B
Massaquoi has exceeded expectations so far. He runs pretty good routes and gets open. He's made some plays, but he has had an issue with drops as he is a body catcher. Should only get better.
DE/OLB/ILB David Veikune Incomplete
This has been a redshirt year for Veikune, because Veikune went from being a defensive lineman to learning both the inside and outside linebacker positions and has only contributed on special teams thus far.
LB Kaluka Maiava C
He has predominately been a special teamer and he's good at that, but with the season ending shoulder injury to D'Qwell Jackson, he should get opportunities as a starter.
CB Don Carey F
He looked promising in training camp, but he had a season ending shoulder injury and the FO tried to sneak him through to Injured Reserve and the Jags picked him up, so he's on their Injured Reserve list.
RB James Davis Incomplete
Looked very promising in preseason and had some moments in the regular season, but a shoulder injury ended his season.
CB Coye Francies Incomplete
Had a good training camp, but has not seen much of the field in the regular season.

Round 1 - RB Donald Brown - B
Has been solid running behind Joseph Addai. Has made some plays and will eventually probably be the starter. He's improved his pass catching and blocking. The OL hasn't really let him shine yet.
Round 2 - DT Fili Moala - F
He's been a healthy scratch behind two undrafted free agents, a pickup from the Titans practice squad, and a guy the Packers cut mid-season last year. Since Ed Johnson was cut he will now get a chance to play, he'd better be ready. He was getting outplayed by Adrian Grady (another undrafted free agent) in preseason.
Round 3 - CB Jerraud Powers - A
Despite what the other Colts fan said he is now the starter regardless of who is healthy. He is the teams #2 CB, and has made some excellent plays in coverage so far this season. Also very physical in run support and makes great tackles. A real surprise and I'm thrilled with him.
Round 4 - WR Austin Collie - B+
Not a starter but a regular contributor who has had a near 100 yard, 2 TD game already. Runs great routes in the slot and should be a very good WR on this team for years.
Round 4 - DT Terrance Taylor - F
Cut. Huge disappointment.
Round 6 - QB Curtis Painter - N/A
He improved every game in pre-season but hasn't played a down in regular season and is the teams' 3rd QB.
Round 7 - P/K Pat McAfee - B+
Pretty solid punter with great kickoffs. He took the pressure off Vinatieri and will do the same for Stover. His punts were fantastic early on but haven't sustained that level.
Round 7 - OG Jaimie Thomas - F
Cut. I think he might be on the practice squad.

2a. Patrick Chung SS:
Has been a stud on special teams and picked off his first pass last week. He isn't the best athlete in the world but he is a football player and will definitely have a future here.
2b. Ron Brace DT :
The big man has barely seen the field, 6th rounder Myron Pryor has been far more impressive. You have to love his size and strength but he may be far too one dimensional, if Wilfork stays and Pryor/Mike Wright continue to play well he may start to fade out.
2c. Darius Butler CB:
Has seen his role increase dramatically. Butler has all the tools to be a top notch cover corner, something we lost when Asante bolted. He may be on the field even more if he continues to improve.
2d. Sebastian Vollmer OT:
Has already become a fan favorite, something you don't see too much from relatively unknown rookie linemen. Has been terrific in pass blocking and a force in the run game. He is a mammoth with excellent athleticism, before the Titans game Vanden Bosch was talking about how impressive he looks. He is our LT of the future I would say.
3a. Brandon Tate WR/RS:
Everyone loves his talent but we drafted him knowing he was still recovering from injury. Looks like this week may be his first significant playing time in a while, can't wait to see what he can do.
3b. Tyrone McKenzie ILB:
Pats suffered a huge blow when he was lost for the season. McKenzie was going to be a contributor at LB and his injury really hurt us. Hopefully he recovers because he is an explosive athlete and would be a nice body to have next to Mayo.
4. Rich Ohrnberger OL:
Haven't seen much of him, still on the roster though. Still early; we will be seeing what these young OL have to offer with Light, Koppen, and Neal getting up there.
5. George Bussey OL:
See Ohrnberger.
6a. Jake Ingram LS:
Took over the long snapping duties for folk legend Lonnie Paxton and hasn't missed a beat.
6b. Myron Pryor DT:
Pryor was definitely a steal. Has been impressive every time he has been on the field, looks to be very strong and athletic. Plays very tough and may make people forget about second rounder Ron Brace.
7a. Julian Edelman WR/RS:
Another steal, this guy has a future in the slot and as a returner. Edelman is third in receiving on the team behind Moss and Welker with 21 catches for 188 yards to go along with 22.4 yards per kick return and 10.5 yards per punt return. You have to like his potential since this is his first year not playing QB after calling the signals at Kent St.
7b. Darryl Richard DL:
Haven't heard much of him and that might not change with the way Pryor and Mike Wright are playing as depth guys behind big Vince. Ron Brace is also in the mix so Darryl is in a tough spot.
Overall, this looks like it could end up being a very solid draft class. A lot of Pats fans were pissed we didn't pick some bigger names at positions of need but it looks like we got some players with big time potential for great value.

2a. SS Patrick Chung - Hasn't looked good. Got beat a few times, hasn't seen the field much. Brandon McGowan has outplayed him, and Chung is the fourth safety on the roster right now. Probably won't see the field much this year.
2b. NT Ron Brace - No production, he almost never gets onto the field. I still have hopes that he'll be pretty good, but I can't help but think they wasted this pick on him so long as they can re-sign Vince Wilfork - leverage draft pick?
2c. CB Darius Butler - Made some impressive plays last week. Has dropped a couple picks if I remember correctly, but has been better than I expected after watching him at UConn. Seems like he'll be a starter by the end of the year.
2d. OT Sebastian Vollmer - Has looked good ever since taking over for Matt Light at left tackle. I expect he'll probably start next year at either of the tackle positions (preferably RT.) Much better than expected, not sure if he can overtake Light, though.
3a. WR Brandon Tate
3b. LB Tyrone McKenzie - Can't comment on these two guys. They've both been injured. McKenzie is on injured reserve, but I expect Tate to come off of the PUP soon and hopefully contribute in Joey Galloway's spot. This team is THIN at wideout.
4. OG Rich Ohrnberger
5. OL George Bussey - Neither of these two guys has seen the field much, except a little bit in last week's blowout for Ohrnberger. I don't think either one did anything good or bad, but I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't last too long, and doubt either becomes a starter.
6a. LS Jake Ingram - Stephen Gostkowski hasn't been playing as well this year, and I think that might be because of the snapper. Not sure, though. He did beat out Nathan Hodel, but that might have been because they invested a pick in him.
6b. DT Myron Pryor - Has looked pretty impressive in limited time. I think he'll earn a little bit of the rotation, but he probably won't ever be a starter. He can still contribute, and he looked pretty good in the preseason as well when he played.
7a. WR Julian Edelman - Looked really good, but his season is probably over now after breaking his arm at the end of last game. Basically the "mini-Welker" tag he's gotten has been about as accurate as possible. Will be here for a while.
7b. DT Darryl Richard - Pretty sure he's on the practice squad. I don't really expect him to contribute a whole lot, but this is a pretty solid team with a lot of defensive linemen, and he was a seventh round pick. Low expectations for him.

WR- Kenny Britt- B- IMO he has been our best reciver so far, but is still playing behind the ghost that is Justin Gage. Has had a fair share of drops but looks like he a great future ahead of him.
DT-SenDerrick Marks-D- Has never really seen the field. Prior to the regular season there were reports he was looking better and better after every practice.
TE-Jared Cook-C+- Looked like he was going to be a factor in our offense, but got hurt. He will get more playing time after the bye-week IMO, with Alge falling out of favor with the coaching staff and fans.
CB- Ryan Mouton-D - Has done okay for a rookie corner, but has been a major flop in the return game. lost us the Jets game.
T- Troy Kropog-D+- Good backup tackle
RB-Javon Ringer-C+ - IMO, The most impressive rookie when he sees the field,however that is not often. Runs with great power and is a ***** to tackle. Should be the number 2 behind LenDale IMO.
CB-Jason McCourty- F -I thought he played well agianst the Colts, but agianst the Patriots and Jags, he got abused. He seems star struck at times, which pisses me off.
WR-Domonique Edison-C- Got cut but was resigned to the practice squad. Don't be fooled though, the fact that this guy got through waviers is crazy. Great speed/hands and played well during the preseason and TC. Should be on the roster over Lafail Hawkins and Justin Gage.
The seventh rounders are on the practice squad.

2. Eben Britton, OT A-
Relatively, he's looked better than Monroe. He allowed us to cut Tony Pashos who was overpaid. Looks like we got 2 outstanding tackles for our future.
3. Terrance Knighton, DT A
Guy has started from day 1 and has been great against the run. He is also our NT in 3-4 looks. I thought he was a big reach at the time of the draft, but I was wrong.
3. Derek Cox, CB B+
I hate giving up next year's 2nd, but he has been great, starting from day 1. He also allowed us to cut overpaid Brian Williams. He has 2 picks on the year.
4. Mike Thomas, WR/PR B
Our slot receiver and punt returner. He is an electric part of our offense.
5. Jarett Dillard, WR, C
Only has 3 catches on the year. Looks like the plan is to have him take over for Holt as the posession receiver in a couple of years. Not an immediate impact, though.
6. Zach Miller, TE, C+
Has been great on special teams and has 5 catches so far. Should get more PT next year in double TE sets.
7. Rashad Jennings, RB, C+
Was great value and is 1 of 2 RBs on the roster. Played well against Tennessee, but hasn't been as powerful as I originally thought.
7. Tiquan Underwood, WR/KR, C-
Only on the active roster because of Williamson's injury. Pretty decent kick returner, though. Has a long ways to go as a WR.
this draft is starting to look special. two starting tackles, a starting corner and a starting DTackle and almost all the guys at least doing something usefull.
Saints 2014 draft wish list:
- No pass rusher till the fourth round (or preferably at all)
- Corner or Wideout in the first
- No reaching
- No Kelvin Benjamin

1. Jeremy Maclin WR - (C+) - Had 1 huge game (against the bucs) but other than that has been very quiet so far. He was expected to be a bit of a project though so this is no surprise. Needs to improve route running. Despite what many people think has a very different playing style than DeSean Jackson and complements him well.
2. LeSean McCoy RB - (B) - Hasn't set the world on fire when given the ball but has done some nice things. Looks to be a great fit in this offense and is probably the future RB of the eagles, don't expect a Brian Westbrook-like career for him though. I actually wouldn't mind the eagles drafting a bigger back and putting him in a 2 back system with Shady.
5a. Cornelius Ingram TE - (Incomplete) - Looked like a beast in TC but unfortuantely tore his ACL and was out for the year before preseason started. With a pretty nasty injury history it is unknown what his future holds but I would love to see him get back healthy and form a great young TE duo with Brent Celek.
5b. Macho Harris FS - (B-) - Starting at FS, but moreso due to Quintin Demps' ineptitude. Don't get me wrong he's looked solid, especially for a 5th round former college CB, but he doesn't have any turnovers and has had some trouble in coverage. Has held his own in run support. I'm not sure he is the long-term answer.
5c. Fenuki Tupou G/T - (D) - Is on IR but played throughout preseason. Looked very slow and was not very impressive run-blocking either. Might have a chance to make a roster somewhere but with the depth the eagles have at G I don't think he has much of a futre with Philly.
6a. Brandon Gibson WR - (B) - It might seem odd that I'm giving him a B considering the eagles just traded him away yesterday. I and other eagles fans are sad to see him go because he was actually one of our better WRs this preseason and looks to have a bright future. He's a hard worker, has good size, is a good route runner and has very nice hands, I could actually see him being a very good slot receiver in the NFL. Made the team despite the eagles originally keeping 6 other WRs. I wish him luck with the rams.
6b. Paul Fanaika G - (D) - Currently on the Practice Squad so isn't a complete waste just yet. Can't say I saw much of him in preseason but is your standard Andy Reid late round O-Lineman. High character guy with developmental potential, but like Tupou might have trouble making the team in the future with the depth at guard here.
7 Moise Fokou LB - (B+) - Has not only made the team as a 7th round pick but has looked pretty impressive. Very athletic and has been one of our better special teams players. Looked solid on defense in the preseason. Needs to cutback on penalties but overall a nice value pick this late in the draft and I hope he sticks around for a while.

1) RB Donald Brown: B-
Can't really expect much out of a RB when his OL doesn't give him much to work with, but he's shown some pretty good flashes. Addai and he should make a nice ground tandem when the team actually puts together a good OL again.
2) DT Fili Moala: C-
He's on the roster, but hasn't played yet. I have a feeling that will change with the outright release of Ed Johnson, but it's tough if not impossible to grade someone who hasn't yet had a chance.
3) CB Jerraud Powers: A
For once a Bill Polian 3rd round draft pick is not a bust. Powers was clearly a steal and is far more than even the most optimistic of Colts fans would have expected. If his early play is a sign of things to come, the Colts will have quite the CB tandem once Kelvin Hayden returns.
4a) WR Austin Collie: A
Collie is 1st among rookies in receiving TDs, 2nd among rookies in receptions, and 6th among rookies in receiving yards. I'd say he's doing pretty well for a 4th round pick.
4b) DT Terrance Taylor: F
He's not even on the practice squad, quite a disappointment for a 4th rounder.
6) QB Curtis Painter: C
As expected, he made the team as the 3rd QB. Not terrible for a 6th round pick.
7a) P Pat McAfee: B
He's come in and done well with punts and kickoffs, which is exactly what he was drafted for. Above average contribution from a 7th rounder.
7b) OG Jaimie Thomas: C-
He's still on the Practice Squad, can't expect much more from a 7th rounder on a perennial contender.
The problem arises when people use statistics like a drunk uses a lamp post: for support instead of illumination.

this draft class for the Colts, it's wonderful. So much for 09 being the weakest draft in years.
I include UDFA Jacob Lacey as part of the 09 draft class too, btw.
The Big XII has given the Colts Melvin Bullitt and Jacob Lacey in the last three years, I won't talk **** about Big XII defenses for a while. <3

I can't believe they're all on the active roster, let alone contributing in some way. Now we did have plenty of holes/needs going into the draft, so that's a big part of why this draft would look good, regardless. But getting 4 instant starters with the first 4 picks is very promising.

What ever happened with Tra Thomas? I thought he would be able to hold off Monroe for at least a year.

Baltimore Ravens:
Round 1: Michael Oher - A
He's been great for us so far. Started from day one at RT and hasn't looked back. Filled in admirably for Gaither at LT the last two weeks against a couple of this season's best pass rushers in Antwan Odom and Jared Allen.
Round 2: Paul Kruger - INC
Has only been active for one game this year and he didn't get much if any playing time in that one game. Apparently he can't play special teams at all, and our coaches really value that. Probably wouldn't gt on the field much with Suggs and Johnson anyways, but he's been a disappointment so far. Still need to see what he can do on defense to call him a bust.
Round 2: Lardarius Webb - C+
Finally got the majority of the kick return duties last week against the Vikings and he looked really good in that aspect. Supposedly he's going to start seeing more time on defense as well, so I'm excited to see what he can do. I wouldn't be surprised to see him become our primary nickle-back or even the number two by the end of this season. Partly because I like his talent, mostly because Chris arr and Fabian Washington are terrible this season.
Round 5: Jason Phillips - INC
Was rehabbing most of the pre-season from his knee surgery and was placed on IR before the season started. Not much info on him at all.
Round 5: Davon Drew - F
Looked promising in mini-camps, but hasn't shown anything since. He is now on our practice squad after being cut by Miami soon after they signed him. I don't hold out much hope for him.
Round 6: Cedric Peerman - F
I didn't understand the pick much when we took him other than he was supposedly a good value. Really wasn't impressive in the pre-season and was cut in favor of Jalen Parmele and Matt Lawrence. Was on the browns, but I don't think he's there anymore.
Overall this draft class is average, perhaps below average. Without Oher it could be downright terrible. Webb looks promising, but the other three guys need to show something. Kruger just needs to get in there on defense, he looked good in pre-season and we need a boost in the pass-rush.

Round 1: Ziggy Hood
He looked good in the preseason leading the team in sacks, but hasn't gotten much playing time in the regular season. Against Detroit, we whiffed on a sack. I have high hopes for him and he will help take over what Aaron Smith did.
Round 3: Kraig Urbik
I, among other Steeler fans, thought he could be our starting RG from day 1. That isn't the case since he has looked over matched and hasn't even dressed for a game yet. UDFA Ramon Foster has looked better, but I think Urbik will turn it around and be a solid pro.
Round 3: Mike Wallace
Our deep threat and number 3 reciever. Is one of the fastest football players I have ever seen on the field. He has a lot of work to do still, but is turning into a very solid reciever that Big Ben is trusting right now. He's possibly better than Nate Washington and Limas Sweed right now.
Round 3: Keenan Lewis
I liked this pick a lot. He hasn't dressed really this season because he got hurt, but I expect him to be our number 3 next year if/when Deshea retires. I think he has starting potential in a year or two. Could be the next Ike Taylor.
Round 5: Joe Burnett
Was expected to be our PR to start the season, but he had fumbleitis during the preseason and lost the job to Stefan Logan. He has been a good player on STs and a absolute ballhawk. He hasn't made that much of an impact yet, but I think it will come once he gets more comfortable in the defense.
Round 5: Frank "the Tank" Summers-
Was our starting FB to start the season, but got hurt. Is a good special teams player, but could be a project.
Round 6: Ra'Shon Harris
Has a lot of potential and showed some of it in the preseason, but was cut. He signed with Carolina and had a tackle then was released and put on the Panthers PS. When the Steelers lost Smith, we resigned him to our active roster. I don't think he will be more than just a body for this season. He has nice potential to be a potential steal.
Round 7: AQ Shipley
Everyone's favorite draft pick by bringing the local boy home. I may be too harsh on this grade, but he is on the PS. He can only play center and that hurts him on making the roster. One thing is for certain though, he is a football player and will work hard to be part of the 53 next year.
Round 7: David Johnson
Surprising grade? Indeed, but he is a really good football player. He is one of our best run blockers and has very good hands. He is the reason why we let Sean McHugh and Carey Davis go. I can see us letting go of Spaeth at the end of the season to promote Johnson.

The Chiefs drafted Ryan Succop with the last pick i nthe draft..that alone gives KC an A. Tyson Jackson is looking solid and improved every week. Right now he is a C+, but each week his grade gets better. Alex Magee is ehh. Donald Washington is a work in progress, if he plays a full training camp since he came in late due to Osu graduation and what not he could see time as full time nickle and spot starter at CB. But Succop=A!
my scent?...like making love to a lumberjack
<TACKLE> i will ngata give you a bj raji
<+BOE> Scott, with Burfict's character concerns (whether legit or not) you think Pioli would draft him. :D
<+ScottWright> Why not. Baldwin does need a sparring partner...

1. Andre Smith- INC: you prolly know the story, should be practicing soon and I'm anxious to see if he'll get a chance to play in the coming weeks as no one has really impressed at RT.
2. Rey Maualuga- B: He's been very good, but he has made his fair share of mistakes at SLB and seems to have some trouble getting off blocks at times. Regardless, he brings that hard hitting intensity this unit has needed for a very long time, and he seems to get better every week.
3. Micheal Johnson- B: Impressive athlete who looks like he's gonna be a good one. Will be given more of a chance now that Odom is out but he has done some good things on third downs and on special teams.
3. Chase Coffman- INC: Has not been active yet as he has been working on his blocking. I suspect he'll be getting his chance within the next few weeks with our problems at TE.
4. Johnathan Luigs- INC: Has only seen the field on some ST duty. Kyle Cook has played well so I doubt we see him this year.
5. Kevin Huber- A. Been as good as advertised thus far. Could be a great one for years.
6. Morgan Trent- B. I'm grading him a little higher than most and that's because I thought he was going to be atrocious. He's actually done some good things at Nickel though.
6. Bernard Scott- B. Looked fantastic in the preseason and in the limited amount of time we've seen him he's shown some excellent athletic ability. Would like to see him get some more carries.
This class has the makings to be great and we'll get to see more of what it can do as the season progresses. I for one can't wait to see Andre Smith suit up.

1 (3) - Tyson Jackson / DE / LSU
- C+. Getting better every week. Looks like he's getting it and buying into the scheme/system but it's still early.
3 (67) - Alex Magee / DE / Purdue
- C- - Hasn't seem much time on the field. Looked decent when he was there though. Needs a lot of work.
4 (102) - Donald Washington / CB / OSU
- D - CB wasn't really a need and he is struggling. Is athletic and has potential but we have two good (imo) starting CBs and a good enough nickel in Leggett.
5 (139) - Colin Brown / OT / Missouri
- INC - Hasn't seen much time. Don't see him figuring into long term plans but I could be wrong.
6 (175) - Quinten Lawrence / WR / McNeese
- D - Has played a bit and looked okay. Has some speed and has tried out at KR/PR duties.
7 (212) - Javarris Williams / RB / Tenn ST
- INC - Didn't make the 53, practice squad player.
7 (237) - Jake O'Connel / TE / Miami (OH)
- INC - Has barely seen the field.
7 (256) - Ryan Succip / K / South Carolina
- A - Has made 9 of 10 field goals (one was blocked) and has looked good in pressure situations. Can't call it too early but it looks like we have our kicker of the future!
We did give up a 2nd for Cassel and Vrabel. If you add in those two it was a much better draft. Cassel has played very well for having no line, run game or weapons outside of Bowe and Vrabel is solid at LB.

Relatively, he's looked better than Monroe. He allowed us to cut Tony Pashos who was overpaid. Looks like we got 2 outstanding tackles for our future.
3. Terrance Knighton, DT A
Guy has started from day 1 and has been great against the run. He is also our NT in 3-4 looks. I thought he was a big reach at the time of the draft, but I was wrong.
3. Derek Cox, CB B+
I hate giving up next year's 2nd, but he has been great, starting from day 1. He also allowed us to cut overpaid Brian Williams. He has 2 picks on the year.
4. Mike Thomas, WR/PR B
Our slot receiver and punt returner. He is an electric part of our offense.
5. Jarett Dillard, WR, C
Only has 3 catches on the year. Looks like the plan is to have him take over for Holt as the posession receiver in a couple of years. Not an immediate impact, though.
6. Zach Miller, TE, C+
Has been great on special teams and has 5 catches so far. Should get more PT next year in double TE sets.
7. Rashad Jennings, RB, C+
Was great value and is 1 of 2 RBs on the roster. Played well against Tennessee, but hasn't been as powerful as I originally thought.
7. Tiquan Underwood, WR/KR, C-
Only on the active roster because of Williamson's injury. Pretty decent kick returner, though. Has a long ways to go as a WR.
I agree for the most part, but:
I'd knock Monroe's grade to a B-. He's done well, though not quite as well as you'd hope a top-8 pick would at this point. He'll get there.
I'd up Knighton's grade to an A+. He's playing OUTSTANDING football for a third round pick.
I'd up Mike Thomas's grade to a B+. He was a great pick for where he was selected. His electric athleticism and playmaking ability help complete the A-team of the Jaguars wide-recievers: Holt, the wily vet leader, Sims-Walker, the brash, physical and talented muscle, and Thomas, the tantalizing newcomer.
Overall, this draft has done wonders for our offense, which (barring a long-term franchise QB and an injection of new interior O-line talent) appears to be set for the next 7-odd years. Overall grade: A

It's a little harsh considering he is only a sixth round pick, but the soft way he plays and the way he blows sunshine up the other players asses pisses me the **** off.

American presidents don't often walk the streets of Washington.
Harry S Truman was the last president who often took strolls around town.
But occasionally it happens. Such as today.
"The bear is loose. I broke out of the cage," President Barack Obama proclaimed today.
The 44th president abandoned the typical motorcade and hoofed it to the Interior Department, a few blocks away, with a few reporters trailing him. Some vehicles were standing by, in case it rained.
"The Bear is loose", says Obama as he walks from the White House to the Department of the Interior greeting tourist. pic.twitter.com/uf52oZ3yKH
— Doug Mills (@dougmillsnyt) May 21, 2014
The president suggested to a department audience that he's tired of being cooped up: "I think about the thrill of going on a hike without a security detail behind me. It's a wistful feeling."
The last time Obama left the White House complex on foot was Oct. 4, 2013, when he and Vice President Joe Biden walked to Taylor Deli, one very long block away on Pennsylvania Avenue near the White House, for lunch during the partial federal government shutdown.
Startled tourists from Israel and China got a chance today to chat with the president, who slung his suit coat over his shoulder wearing a button-down shirt and tie.
One of the Israelis, celebrating a birthday, got a shout-out from the president.
The task at hand at Interior was signing a proclamation designating the Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument in New Mexico.
House Speaker John Boehner criticized the designation, saying it undermines border security.
It fits well with tourism, the White House said in a message this week: "There is no time to waste to preserve our precious resources and to give a shot in the arm to local communities like Las Cruces."
Finishing his speech, Obama walked back to the White House, encountering still more tourists.
Yet the Secret Service was on duty.
A woman from the Outer Banks of North Carolina said she was totally surprised. A moment before her encounter with the commander-in-chief, a Secret Service agent approached and said he needed to look in her bag.
Back to the Oval Office post-walk. Obama looked pretty happy to be out. pic.twitter.com/L2T3q3KnTu

I wrote this for an English assignment just recently about the death of my sister and how it's affected me. I wanted to share it with all of you, because I may not be the only one who feels this way about a loved one's death. It's strange, the grieving process. Some days I'm ok. Some days I'm not.
Here it is:
It was a warm Sunday,
a quiet weekend,
a day like any other.
Lightning strikes.
The phone rings.

And yet, the moment I try,
You scream in pain and baffle me
With the rage in your eye.
I guess I know the rule now,
But you could have said the truth!
Instead you lied and said that
You were open to discussion too!
But now I know the hard way
That "unspoken rule."
To critique God is not allowed!
You want to be a fool.

English translation by Michael Stein
Les lecteurs qui préfèrent s'adresser à la version française la trouveront ici.
See also the book "The Struthof Album" by Jean-Claude Pressac.
Of the current critique of the documents and testimonies relative to the Holocaust by the so-called revisionists (the term deniers seems more appropriate, because what is involved is nothing less than to deny the body of documents and testimonies), that which is relevant to the existence of the gas chambers is a particularly sensitive point.
In reality, these virtuous appearing deniers, claiming to want to simply re-establish the historical truth, really want to trivialize the crime by explaining the enormous quantity of deaths by the necessities of the war and by placing the belligerents, Allies and Axis, back to back in a common responsibility.
In fact, they seek only trying to rehabilitate the Nazi regime by attempting to erase the most unjustified deed that it committed. Obviously, Hitler's regime was a very brutal dictatorship, interning all opposition in "re-education" camps as of 1933; violating many international treaties beginning with the non-belligerence treaty, and robbing the Jews of their possessions, of their right as citizens and finally of the quality of human existence.
But the most visible and conspicuous part is naturally the mass extermination of the Jews and especially the usage of gas. In this case, one cannot invoke the necessities or vicissitudes of the war: they killed en masse and without apparent necessity old people and children - and yes, adults in good health - not because of any of their actions or any visible obvious threat.
They killed them simply because they were born, existed and had to cease to exist. Behold the big secret that the deniers want to revise.
To believe that the deniers do not have a political ulterior motive would be simply naive. Apart from a few exceptions or discrepancies in the elements of their communities (journals, Web sites), they have in common antisemitism, the desire to re-establish a fascist regime; the leader of the extreme Right in Germany is a former Waffen-SS member; the leader of the extreme Right in France counts among his principal collaborators former members of the Waffen-SS or former members of the LVF (League of French Volunteers against bolshevism who fought the Soviets with the Germans in World War II). Léon Degrelle (creator of the SS Wallonie Division), refugee in Spain until his death, was a friend of JM Pen, and one election evening, was the guest of the sister of the celebrated revisionist Faurisson. In addition, the extreme Right movements are organizing themselves and and the French leader (Pen) explained once again recently in an interview that he sought to create an association regrouping all of the European movements, as much as to say: a Fascist Internationale which seems to be in development.
For the deniers who seek to support a neo-Nazi renewal, disputing the gassings is thus a priority. And, in fact, they contest tooth and nail the idea that Hitler's Germany committed any killings and even more so by gassing or mass murder of people, women, children and old people whose only mistake was to have been born Jews.
It is a difficult task: they evoke therefore, for all the extermination camps, the faking of the evidence by the Communists; the extraction of testimony from the SS by torture; and a kind of solidarity of the Jewish escapees, who everywhere and without consulting each other, have all lied or exaggerated to support the creation of the future State of Israel - three years before it existed. The escaped non-Jews, not being dead, have no useful testimony to supply.
I will not make much of it because the strength of the testimonies and evidence flows from their multiplicity and convergence: such a document found by the British is a letter of response to another found by the Russians; the survivors collected by the Russians say nothing different than those in Bergen-Belsen. It is obvious that the British had no interest in supporting the events that were to follow in Palestine in the coming years where the Cold War would also appear and render impossible a mutual doctoring of the documents.
There is a camp, which was not strictly speaking a direct extermination camp (but indirectly through labour so difficult that few survived), and which was equipped with a gas chamber where some gassings took place, especially the gassing of almost one hundred Jews selected at Auschwitz.
The distinctive feature of this camp is that it was situated in France, on the Alsatian mountainside of Vosges and that it was evacuated very quickly by the Germans faced with the unexpected advance of the Allies: the Germans did not have the time, as almost everywhere else, to destroy the compromising documents and buildings; its gas chamber (which was first used for gas mask training by the SS.) had been returned to its original use before the camp was liberated; it remained practically intact as compared to the period of the homicidal gassings.
In addition, the extremely rapid break-through of the Leclerc Division and the liberation of Strasbourg left even less time to the Germans: in one stroke, they found in Strasbourg the bodies of gassed Jews and an amount of other compromising documents.
Finally, this camp and Strasbourg were liberated two months before Auschwitz: the testimonies are of a veracity that is impossible to doubt when certain material elements, totally unknown until now, are specified.
In substance, this camp combines all the elements of which the neo-Nazis, disguised as "revisionists", deny the existence: the gas chamber; the documents concerning the gassing of the Jews from the preparation for the selection of the Jews at Auschwitz, passing by the modalities of the preparations for the gassings; the bodies themselves with documents concerning them, including even a letter asking if it was necessary to destroy them, repatriate them to Germany, or disguise them as anatomical pieces before the advance of the Allies, and the testimonies of inmates, civil servants, the confessions of the SS and the guards.
One could ask oneself what more proof is possible when one has the motive, testimony that could not have been faked, the confessions, the bodies and the device that carried out the murders.
This camp is Struthof, place name of the town of Natzweiler (or Natzwiller according to German spelling) near Schirmeck. The French do not like the name Natzweiler (which is that of their town) and to not sully their name, prefer that of Struthof which is the name of the place situated some kilometers above the real location where this took place; nevertheless, the German correspondence naturally prefers the official location: Natzwiller (German spelling) or Natzweiler, because it is the name of the common territory.
These pages aim to present the essence of the Struthof camp. We have scrupulously taken up again some of the documents that were published at this time and a bit later. You can note the contradictions, the errors: it is the lot of historical documents and testimonies to contradict each other on certain points. On the French Revolution and still today, one can discuss about what happened to Robespierre at Thermidor: did he want to commit suicide, was he wounded by a policeman? But no one disputes that he was wounded before being guillotined the same day.
Here you will find the same uncertainties of detail: perhaps the witnesses exaggerate their actions, and if they have seen many things they spoil their testimony by indicating things that they did not directly see (having found out about them later) without them in any way being completely false; others (Germans, guards) minimize their role out of fear of being implicated; some reports, written quickly, are in error on several points; excesses (often because of lack of time in which to carry out the contradictory examination;) the perpetrators who attempt to sneak in impossibilities so they can eventually claim that they were extracted by force -- whereas those who interrogated them attempt to obtain material details, even going so far as to suggest them in aberrant cases that they hope to verify later on in order to strengthen the value of the confession. It is thus today that criminal trials unfold, with uncertainty about testimony, but allowing the court to build a strong case for conviction.
You will see yourself how the documents and testimonies ultimately converge to give this total picture: 86 Jews were gassed in this camp to constitute a collection of "typically Jewish" skeletons, with the blessing of Himmler who sought to study "scientifically" the "racial" traits.
You will find in what follows, with personal comments from time to time:
I propose to begin with a document from the French Ministry of Information dated September 8, 1945. This document is very fresh because it was published less than a year after the liberation of the Strasbourg camp, and contains a relatively large number of inaccuracies that I point out throughout; but it gives an immediate global picture of what the camp was.
The details of how the prisoners were mistreated, punished and victims of torture are not particularly specific to the Struthof camp; the majority of the German camps "benefited" from the this type of administration.

Backpack Scooter Has Already Made My Essential Travel Gear List
Airports can be a daunting place to navigate, and trudging to your gate can be time consuming and exhausting. And since Segways are downright obnoxious, I like Gustavo Brenck's Gig Pack concept which straps a collapsible scooter to your backpack. »

Indeed, in October Facebook was able to report that its mobile advertising revenue has increased faster than expected, causing the stock to climb by around 13 per cent. It's still low compared to its launch price, but the signs are there that the firm will eventually exceed its original value.
As for the big names selling up, that's not unusual, and could be for a variety of reasons, not least of all the fact that those with means like to spread their assets, and that means holding a variety of different investments. For example, Spillane may have sold millions of pounds worth of stock, but he kept roughly half of it. That is not the action of a man who believes his asset is on a nosedive to oblivion.
As for Apple, it has peaked. Where once it was releasing something new and genuinely ground-breaking seemingly at will, it now iterates just like everyone else. The iPod, iPhone and iPad were all innovative at launch, but really how much better or even necessary is the iPad 4 compared to the iPad 3? I have an iPad 2 and have absolutely no intention of upgrading.
Though the sales figures are still high, the iPad's market share is now decreasing as the competition begins to release cheaper products of equivalent technology. Where the iPad once ruled the roost as the most advanced tablet on the planet by a distance, now it vies with a multitude of capable offerings running Andoid – including the loss-leading Kindle Fire from Amazon – and an imminent swathe of devices running Windows 8, which is sure to capture a significant proportion of the enterprise market (which Apple still largely chooses to ignore).
Apple also has to contend with a vicious and running legal battle with Samsung. Its great victory in a Californian courtroom in August where its patent infringement case against the South Korean electronics giant was upheld grows increasingly Pyrrhic. Where once Apple was viewed with affection as the firm that makes the best toys, it is gradually being perceived more as a corporate bully.
Revelations this week that it uses various (entirely legal) avoidance schemes to pay two per cent corporation tax outside the US have not helped. And all this at a time when CEO Tim Cook tosses out several top-level execs in an attempt to make the company his own (and to punish those responsible for the Maps fiasco, many suspect).
A company at the top of its game releases products when they're ready, and not a moment before. It has the confidence to make its customers wait for perfection, knowing that the eventual release will fly off the shelves as quickly as it can be manufactured. That was old Apple. New Apple seeks to make as much money as possible from its remaining days at the top by releasing a dizzying conveyor belt of almost identical products.
Only two years since it was released, the original iPad has already been forgotten. Apple's latest mobile operating system, iOS 6, won't run on the iPad. Though its customers are loyal to the point of religious fervour, many are beginning to feel the rumblings of doubt.
So those are my reasons for exhorting anyone with a few spare pennies to buy Facebook and sell Apple. It really comes down to the old adage: buy low, sell high. Facebook is low now, it will be higher later. Apple is high now, it will be lower later. But don't take my word for it; let's come back to this in six months (unless I'm wrong, in which case this article will self-destruct).
Final word: I am not a financial expert, and if you take my advice, you do so at your own risk!
