Pair in court after woman's baby diesComment on this story
Pretoria - A Sinoville couple briefly appeared in the Pretoria High Court on Monday following the death of the woman's three-and-a-half-week-old son, of multiple injuries, including skull and various rib fractures.
Juanita Oldewage, 25, and her husband Christiaan Dydelief Oldewage, 27, are facing a charge of murder and another of child abuse.
The pair were not asked to plead and the matter was postponed to July 29, as they want to obtain their own expert evidence regarding the injuries the baby had suffered.
It is claimed that on December 11/12 last year they murdered little Christiaan Oldewage at their Marico Street home.
It is further claimed that, during this time, they intentionally abused or deliberately neglected him by "repeatedly causing him injury or harm".
The baby was the biological son of Juanita Oldewage, who married her husband shortly before the baby's birth.
He was born on November 16 last year, and was three-and-a-half- weeks old at the time of his death.
According to the indictment, the accused, in circumstances unknown to the State, repeatedly assaulted the baby, and or allowed him to be assaulted or failed to protect him from being assaulted.
He was taken for hospital treatment on December 10. He was admitted a few days later and died a few hours later on the same day.

BOJ Failed to Draw Enough Offers in Debt Purchase
The Bank of Japan's asset-purchase program, expanded twice in three months, hit a roadblock today when the central bank couldn't find enough government securities to buy.
Financial institutions agreed to sell 480.5 billion yen ($6 billion) of one- to two-year debt, less than the BOJ's planned 600 billion yen of purchases, the central bank said on its website. It was the first shortfall since the BOJ set up the program to spur growth in October 2010.
The result may boost pressure on BOJ Governor Masaaki Shirakawa's board to broaden the program to encompass longer-dated debt, or other types of assets. Japan's financial companies are the largest holders of the nation's government debt, amid a lack of demand growth in corporate and household lending and a flight to safety sparked by Europe's crisis.
"As the BOJ expands its asset-purchase fund, we may see more people rejecting dealing with the central bank's buying operation because there is nothing to invest in when they sell short-term notes," said Toshiaki Terada, a researcher at Totan Research Co., a money-market brokerage in Tokyo.
In a second part of today's operation, the BOJ received 700.8 billion yen in offers for debt with a maturity from two to three years, compared with its goal of 100 billion yen. The failure to meet the targets suggest limits to the central bank's main policy tool since the benchmark interest rate was brought near zero as the global financial crisis deepened in 2008.
Yields Drop
Investors have flocked to Japanese government bonds even amid historically low yields and a public debt burden that's the world's largest. Benchmark 10-year yields today matched the lowest level since 2003, reaching 0.82 percent. Yields on two-year notes touched 0.095 percent, below the upper range of the BOJ's rate target.
"As long as the low rates remain in the market, it may cause concern that these shortfalls will continue," said Junko Nishioka, chief economist at RBS Securities Japan Ltd. in Tokyo and a former central bank official. Today's operation "signals the difficulties created when the BOJ just buys government bonds to increase the size of its asset-purchase fund."
The central bank pledged to expand its bond purchase funds to 29 trillion yen on April 27, up from 1.5 trillion yen when it was started.
Masamichi Adachi, a senior economist at JPMorgan Chase & Co. in Tokyo and a former central bank official, said today's failure may help the BOJ to argue that it's doing all it can to boost liquidity as politicians push for more aggressive moves.
"This isn't necessarily a bad thing for the BOJ because it can tell lawmakers that they are providing more than enough liquidity," Adachi said. "If this failure continues, the BOJ will have to reconsider the contents of its asset purchase program."

Dirk Nowitzki talks about injured finger, NBA lockout and plans to train in Germany
ARLINGTON — Mavericks superstar Dirk Nowitzki threw out the first pitch before Game 3 of the World Series Saturday night at Rangers Ballpark.
Nowitzki received arguably the loudest pregame ovation from the 51,462 in attendance as he made his way to the pitcher's mound. He went with the fastball, however, he didn't know if he threw a four-seam or two-seam version of the pitch.
His offering sailed in low but Rangers designated hitter Michael Young had no problem making the grab.
Following the throw, Nowitzki met with media members. While he answered several questions about baseball, the 2011 NBA Finals MVP fielded a handful of inquiries about the NBA lockout and his immediate basketball future.
Here are a few highlights.
On if he'll be at Game 4 and Game 5 of the World Series:
"If they let me. I'll have to check with the Rangers. I'm going to ask Nolan (Ryan) when I sit behind him today, 'What's going on with the tickets?'"
On how many times he has thrown a baseball:
"Not that much. I grew up playing handball, which is kind of a throwing motion. The ball is just bigger, and we play it on a goal. That sport is not really big here, so I always grew up throwing a ball. That's why I brought the heat today. … I don't know how they do it 100 times a game. My arm is already killing me. I threw five practice ones. So you've got mad respect for those players."
On how his finger, which he injured during the NBA Finals, is doing:
"I took a ball on it in the Euros this summer, so it was kind of like sagging again. So I've got to keep it straight for whatever, four, six weeks. But it doesn't bother me at all. It doesn't hurt or anything." He added that he did not have surgery on the finger.
On his basketball plans and the current state of the NBA lockout:
"If there's no settlement I'll probably go back home soon, start training with my coach again. It's time to really get back in the routine. Got to keep the options open, maybe see what's going on overseas. … If the lockout stays strong, I've definitely got to look into something there January and February, if the lockout really continues to stay strong."
More on the lockout:
"Hopefully we can get something going here anytime soon. But it doesn't look good."

Every Fourth of July for the past 10 years in London, people have gathered at College Park for a full day's worth of activities. This year, it's likely those events will be scaled down, if they are held at all.
The city of London has some tough decisions to make.
London, like the rest of Laurel County, must prioritize what to cut and what to fund. It's a decision left to the city's mayor, Troy Rudder.
One of the programs up for consideration is the city's annual $20,000 firework display, which is funded half by the city and half by the county.
According to reports, the county says it won't be providing it's usual funding due to budget constraints. That's left the city to find a solution.
Mayor Rudder says London is faced with similar budget problems and funding a firework display will likely take away from the city's charitable donations.
The city council is currently debating how to handle the situation.

The Story of Dot-Com
In ancient Israel, it came to pass that a trader by the name of Abraham Com
did take unto himself a young wife by the name of Dot. Now Dot Com was an
amazingly comely woman, broad of shoulder and long of leg. And so she came
to be known as Amazon Dot Com.
One day, when the moon was full, and they were sleeping in the tent, Dot
said unto Abraham, "Why doth thou labor in the sun and travel far from town
to town with thy goods when thou can trade without ever leaving our tent?"
And Abraham did look at her as though she were several saddle bags short of
a full camel load, but simply said, "How, Dear?"
And Dot replied, "I will place drums in all the towns and also drums
in-between the towns to send messages saying what you have for sale. And
they will reply telling you which town will give you the best price for thy
goods. And the sale can be made on the drums and goods can be delivered by
Uriah's Pony Stable (UPS)."
Abraham thought long and decided he would let Dot have her way with the
drums. The drums rang out and were an immediate success. Abraham sold all
the goods he had at the top price, without ever moving from his tent or from
the bed of his comely young wife.
And several young men did take to Dot Com's trading as greedy horseflies
take to camel dung. And they were called Nomadic Ecclesiastical Rich
Dominican Siderites, or NERDS for short.
One day, Abraham looked out over the Bay of Ezekiel or, as it came to be
known "eBay." And he said, "We need a name that reflects what we are." And
Dot replied, "How about Young Ambitious Hebrew Owner Operators?" "That's
it," exclaimed Abraham, "YAHOO!"
And lo, the land was feverish with joy at the new riches and the deafening
sound of drums. And the VCs (Vulture Capitalists) came forward to feed on
the spoils of the land. And the money-lenders (bankers) feasted off the fat
of the land. And many peasants put their shekels from their
score-score-and-one Kabba (401k) into the making of the drums.
This success did arouse much greed and envy. A money-lender named Maccabia
did hide himself inside Abraham's drum and was accused of insider trading.
And it came to pass that one day, a seer who could see further and clearer
than his fellows said, " How many drums do we really need? I fear we are
making too many drums and hiring too many drummers. The whole enterprise
doth seem like the Great Pyramid of Giza (a pyramid scheme)."
And slowly, the drumming slowed down and it stopped. And there was much
weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth.
All this while, no one had noticed that the real riches had gone to the drum
maker, one Brother William of Gates, who had bought up every drum company in
the land. And indeed his drums would work only with the drumheads and
drumsticks made by his company.

quick, easy recycled christmas present every child will love...
Make your own rainbow crayons in a matter of minutes- simply take old broken crayons and place pieces in a silicone mould; melt in the oven on low (160˚C) for 10-15 minutes, remove and let cool until hard again.
Stockmar crayons in the oven?
I packed a few little drawstring bags up with a handful of new stone-sized crayons each and plan on gifting them to friends and playmates through the holidays.

Stockmar crayons take less time to melt and make lovelier crayons with this method - but as you say, no cutting up of those if it can be avoided haha! I had chance to make some with Stockmar crayons when one of my little darlings went through a phase of chewing on crayons. *sigh* So many little bits of the precious expensive art materials... Ah well, beauty from ashes and all that. ;)

A trow was a type of cargo boat found in the past on the rivers Severn and Wye in Great Britain and used to transport goods.
The mast could be taken down so that the trow could go under bridges, such as the bridge at Worcester and the many bridges up and downstream. The mast was stepped in a three sided frame open at the rear but closed with an iron pin or rope lashing. From the top of the mast a forestay ran down to the bow winch. To lower the mast the pin was removed and the winch slackened off to let the mast fall towards the stern. The reverse operation pulled the mast up. One such Trow, called "Joan", was owned by a timber merchant called Oliver Luff. He used her to bring timber from Tintern, Monmouthshire into 'The Back' now called 'Welsh Back' in Bristol's Floating Harbour, where he owned two timber yards. A pub, the Llandoger Trow is situated in Bristol. Trows were seaworthy, as with an added keel they could take 90 tons of salt from Droitwich to France across the English Channel.[1] The flat-bottomed trows sailed on the sea by hauling a 20-foot (6.1 m) log of wood under the hull strapped with chains to stop the hull sliding sideways.[2]
There are two traditional types of Severn Trow. Prior to the 1840s the River Severn was tidal up to Worcester. The trows that were used on the tidal portion of the River were called Downstream Trows whilst those that sailed north of Worcester were called Upstream Trows and were smaller. An example of a Downstream Trow, the Spry, is at the Blists Hill site of the Ironbridge Gorge Museums. During the summer the flow of water was often very low and so the trows were pulled over the resultant shallows. A rope was attached to the mast and the men who pulled the boats were called bow hauliers. The men would enter into a contract with the captain of the trow in the many pubs along the Severn riverbanks, and there was a right of way along the bankside.
A smaller version of the above (18 feet (5.5 m) max) is peculiar to the Fleet lagoon in Dorset. It is used primarily for the transport of mackerel caught by seine net fishing crews off Chesil Beach. Once caught they are boxed and transported across to the mainland by these flat-bottomed boats. Unlike the River Severn version the Fleet variant is only ever towed, rowed or punted and has no mast or sail.
A replica Wye trow, named Hereford Bull, was constructed in 2012 to participate in the Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant.[3]
Trow may be pronounced as trō (rhyming with "crow") or as trou (rhyming with "cow").[4] The former pronunciation was the usual one throughout Worcestershire, Shropshire and Dorset. While the latter exists regionally, dictionaries often give only the former pronunciation.[2]

1998 Saturn SL2 • 175,645 miles
I'm overhauling all four brakes on my '98 Saturn Sl2 and getting ready to paint the front calipers / torque plates. There is still a little bit of rust and/or scaling on the calipers on the indentation where the dust boot goes and also in the torque plate holes where the dust boots go. I've wire-wheeled them and scraped and picked as best I could but some remains. Can I use something like carefully applied CLR or muriatic acid or should I just leave it alone? On the torque plates I'm concerned with how the new long dust boot is going to install, how the Guide Pin bolt is going to work in a rusty surrounding (even lubricated), and how the caliper dust boot is going to seal.
April 26, 2012.
April 26, 2012.
Just to add to this one are you trying to rebuild a old rusty caliper?If so why replace it even when I worked at the saturn dealer it was more cost effective to just replace them. Also on the caliper brackets that you call torque plates I used to clean them up with a epoxy filled wire wheel on my air die grinder. As far as the bore where the caliper pin slides I used a bore brush with a good rust penertrant.
I'm rebuilding them because it was cheaper to buy a $3 kit that contained 2 boots and rings rather than spend $60. I'm not working, times are tough. I did decide to get new boots for the bracket or torque plate; I don't remember what they cost. I call it a torque plate because that's what my manual calls it and when I said bracket to the guy at the parts store he looked at me and said 'the torque plate?' Thanks for the advice; the first guy seemed like he didn't give a care and just gave me an offhand answer. Would a good rust penetrant be something like PB?
Yes I like pb blaster its called a c aliper bracket though I worked for saturn for many years and its called a caliper bracket. Never heard them called torque plate before that really doesnt make sense to me considering its the bracket for the caliper. Good luck rebuilding them though also make sure you use new copper washers on the banjo bolts that attach the brake hoses the calipers. If you dont the hose ends tend to leak.
Your welcome thats what were here for.
I'm rebuilding the calipers on my 98 Saturn SL2 and am having a really hard time getting the piston back down into the bore. I even tried a large C-clamp but even that didn't work. I followed all the instructions; submerged then installed the rubber ring, put brake fluid all over the inside of the bore and on the piston but the piston just doesn't want to go in. Any help?
Apr 29, 2012.
Apr 29, 2012.
Like I said before I have never rebuilt a caliper I just looked up the repair data on the caliper and for over haul and it says to refer to the exploded view of the caliper. There are no specail tools listed to over haul it. The seals going to be a tight fit have you tried putting the seal on the piston and inserting the pistonand seal together?
Apr 29, 2012.
Apr 29, 2012.
Yeah, but there wasn't enough room; the seal had to go in first. But I got the piston in using a hand-crank brake pad compressor with a deadblow hammer. That did the trick but now I'm having a hard time getting the metal ring into the lip of the piston dust boot- if I can still see the ring I'm not convinced it's inside the lip so I tried different things until my hands hurt so much I had to stop. But thanks for your advice- I appreciate it. The big joke on me is that the high-temp paint I so carefully applied after wire-wheeling all the rust off the calipers and brackets and taping everything off so carefully- as soon as brake fluid hit that it ran like watercolors. I will NEVER do this again. And the manual made it sound so easy. Thanks again.
. And the even bigger joke is that once this is done it will probably fail and I'll end up buying the calipers I tried so hard to save money by not getting. Oh, and I tore a new dust boot trying to put it into the bracket. There's another 8 bucks and more time wasted. Ah well, I guess things could be worse. The only good part about this whole thing was when my black Lab would come into the garage to see what I was doing. She's a great dog and always makes me feel better when things aren't going right.

*Editor's Choice* Another classic vintage of Abeja Chardonnay, this is a memorable style that's built around yummy barrel flavors of toast and caramel, with notes of stone fruits. The three vineyard sources--Celilo, Conner Lee, and French Cree--form a perfect crescent across the state and capture the essence of three quite different AVAs. It has lovely texture and length, with impeccable balance throughout.
Bright yellow. Lovely lift to the aromas of peach, nectarine and sexy vanillin oak. Tactile and vibrant, with complex flavors of stone fruits, quince and spices nicely complemented by the wine's oak element. Generous and broad but with no excess weight. Finishes dry, subtle and long, with lingering spice character. An excellent showing.
Sleek, silky, creamy and refined, especially appealing for the nectarine and tangerine flavors that dance smoothly through the long and inviting finish. Drink now through 2016.
Coming largely from the renowned Celilo Vineyard in the Columbia Gorge, supplemented by fruit from Conner Lee and their Mill Creek estate, the Abeja 2011 Chardonnay leads with scents of honeysuckle, pear, and Persian melon, which translate into a luscious, buoyant performance possessed of considerable inner-mouth perfume. Hints of vanilla and coconut from oak toast segue rather nicely into the creaminess of a wine that is allowed to undergo malolactic transformation until it reaches the point where Abbott feels richness of texture and vivacious juiciness are in balance. The finish is soothing and retains a welcome modicum of refreshment. I suspect this wine will be best enjoyed over the next couple of years.

Cape police raid suspected drug densComment on this story
Cape Town -
Armed and wearing body armour, metro police officers swooped on suspected drug dens and did random stop and searches in Mitchells Plain's streets on Wednesday.
JP Smith, the mayoral committee member for safety and security, took a hands-on approach - joining metro police officers in frisking young men on the pavements of Beacon Valley and searching alleged gangsters' homes.
A new target for these searches are scooters, which gangsters use for transporting drugs. The scooters are favoured because they are effective in escaping down alleys, which police vehicles cannot access.
While the Cape Argus rode along with the operation, the metro police confiscated a .38 special handgun, 14 units of heroin and two tablets of mandrax during a stop-and-search and a house raid, respectively.
"This is what our focus is for today - guns and drugs," Smith said.
"The drugs are the drivers of the violence and the guns are the enablers. It is important that we target these, and ensure that we take both the drugs and guns out of circulation."
At one address, officers made half a dozen male occupants lie in the courtyard with their foreheads on the concrete floor while the house was searched. All that was recovered was a makeshift tattoo device, which Smith alleged was used in "marking new recruits for life".
With shootings happening on a daily basis, Beacon Valley and Hyde Park have been held ransom by drug merchants and gang members for months, residents told the Cape Argus. On Saturday four people, including a child and two youths, were shot dead in Beacon Valley.
Safety MEC Dan Plato also visited the area on Wednesday.
There were gunshots in Hyde Park shortly before he and his entourage arrived on Wednesday morning.
Plato walked door to door in Hyde Park's Honolulu Street. With a public address system, which followed him in a vehicle, he called residents from their homes and asked them to raise their grievances over crime in the area. While some residents listened attentively as Plato called for a united front between the government and citizens to address gangsterism, others chirped from the fringes.
"This is obviously just about elections," said Fire Gum, a 40-year-old resident with four children.

Probe could end Ecclestone's F1 reignComment on this story
London – Bernie Ecclestone said in a news report published on Sunday that he will likely have to step down as Formula One boss after almost four decades if he is charged by German prosecutors in a corruption case.
Ecclestone, 82, told the Sunday Telegraph that F1 owners CVC "will probably be forced to get rid of me if the Germans come after me. It's pretty obvious, if I'm locked up."
Munich prosecutors are investigating a 44-million-dollar payment Ecclestone made to a German banker in connection with the sale of a controlling stake in F1 from a German bank to CVC. They are expected to say in January whether Ecclestone will be charged.
The authorities believe that Ecclestone's payment to the banker, Gerhard Gribkowski, was a bribe to ensure that the bank, Bayerische Landesbank, sold its stake to CVC in 2005.
Gribkowsky was jailed in summer. Ecclestone said he paid the money to stop the banker from false allegations about his tax affairs.
Ecclestone has been at the helm of F1 for almost four decades and has turned it into a multi-million dollar business.
He also told the Sunday Telegraph that CVC doesn't want to drop him for now although they have engaged a head hunter to look for possible replacements.
"They said they had hired a head-hunter to find somebody in the event that I was not going to be there - if I was going to die or something. It is the normal thing they do to keep people happy," he said. – Sapa-dpa

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 22.214.171.124
Try doing a search for news on the Open Directory - there is none....
Who appoints the sennior ediotrs? How are they chosen? Who are they?
How is it funded? It is a huge and expensive operation?
If it is there for the community why are reasons for rejection to submitters required?
What is the real editorial policy and how consistently is this enforced. The ODP is one of the most important directories on the web, but is, to say the least, mysterious in it's operation. Why?
[edited by: Marcia at 8:05 am (utc) on June 12, 2003]
Candidates are nominated in the private meta forum when noticed by metas. The metas then cast votes. Staff grants the permissions, in occasional batches, to whom they want. However, they generally go along with the meta consensus. As soon as the metas are told of the grants, the details are announced in the public thread.
This partially answers soem of my questions but leaves a blank for some of the most important questions.
As to the above you have a group of people who you don't know, creating a consensus on who they allow to join their group....hmmmmm, that's open.....?
What a nice "new" name at WebmasterWorld ;). I was interested to see that Mods have left the thread in Foo, rather than moving to Directories
>> The ODP is one of the most important directories on the web, but is, to say the least, mysterious in it's operation. <<
It is a serious point. Any group chosen in this self perpetuating way must have its weakness.
Consider the analogy of Mrs Thatcher in Britain. Her biography was titled "One of us"
"The title of the book, One Of Us, is taken from Mrs T's philosophy that people fell into two camps, those who wholeheartedly embraced her ideas and policies, and those who did not. The latter group were considered disloyal or not quite up to it, and could not be trusted with important jobs."
The ODP is part of Netscape, now owned by the huge AOL/Time Warner empire. The ODP has all of 2 staff members. Extremely small.
The editorial policy is public and in the guidelines. The guidelines are consistently enforced. However, if you read the guidelines editoral discretion is pretty large.
The senior editors basically are a cabal. Who they are is on the public editall list. Who gets to be a part of this cabal is up to the senior editors and staff.
Is there, for example, any constitution that says that it will always be free non-profit?!
As for the consistency I don't think so...take a look at the threads in this site...lots of complaints.
One of the reasons why I joined the ODP was to try to establish how the guidelines worked in practice. The idea of unique content is quite clearly a principle that is writ large. However, this does not explain to may people why their sites are not listed (Without explanation in most cases).
My own suspicion is that many of the editors are there to see that their own sites are listed, and to keep the competition out.
Particularly when you consider that anything this ODP "cabal" does really isn't that important in the grand scheme of things. Or on the Internet for that matter. Now governments have real power, and that is a serious concern.
Surprises me that editors are happy with it, but there you go.
I particularly liked from that definition above of oligarchy
Oligarchies are often controlled by a few powerful families whose children are raised and mentored to become inheritors of the power of the oligarchy, often at some sort of expense to those governed.
As for the consistency I don't think so...take a look at the threads in this site...lots of complaints.
I think it's a great shame that no-one actually praises the ODP when they do well - that seriously distorts the figures and incorrectly reflects the position that you see.
There are a lot of valid complaints. There are far far more satisfied customers. I would say a large percentage of the complainers are also guilty of not having read ODP policy and making poor submissions then bleating when they don't get in.
I praise the ODP. I think they do exceptionally well and I feel that as one of the last bastions of the internet who's philosophy is to keep information free, whether commercial or non-commercial, we should seek to protect them.
My own suspicion is that many of the editors are there to see that their own sites are listed, and to keep the competition out.
I'm not sure on the numbers, but I would imagine there are a few like that. They don't usually last long. If you feel you've spotted an editor acting a little suspiciously, just report them.
So you'd be better placed to get your clien't sites into the directory?
<My own suspicion is that many of the editors are there to see that their own sites are listed, and to keep the competition out.>
With 60,000 editors, I'd be amazed if they were all there just for the joy of editing! If you think there is abuse, report the editor concerned.
If your site adheres to the guidelines, and you think it adds value to the directory with clear reasons why you think it does - report the editor who rejected it!
I think the ODP is a great resource - I'm not bothered who owns it - it has clear guidelines on how it operates.
There nothing out there doing the same thing on the scale of DMOZ - whether we like it or not it's not going away.
Just like Google :-)
Here here. If the editors all had huge salaries, then feel free to complain, but the idea of a huge, important spam free directory all run by volunteers is worth praising.
Hardly any more surprising that you or I are happy with the situation here or on any other forum, where a closeknit group of people who have "proved" themselves are promoted to more senior positions on approval from the board owners.
But "cabal" or "oligarchy" sounds better, of course.
For me, one of the most refreshing things about the ODP is its capacity to house and utilise the talents of many different and varied viewpoints - if I were ever to meet rfgdxm1 in person I would be sorely tempted to whack him around the head with a wet haddock, but nonetheless we both (I hope) do valuable work there.
I just checked some dictionaries, and should clarify. The word "cabal" has multiple meanings, and some are rather negative. I used that as meaning "a ruling clique", with "clique" defined as "an exclusive circle of people with a common purpose."

I'll have to remember to always carry a moist fish in case we ever meet to use in self-defense. ;)
Markymarky, I'm appalled that you'd go through all the "official channels" to become an editor and then claim that everything is "murky." Did you not read _anything_ which was put before your face before (and after) you filled out the application and again after you were accepted? You've had your chance to learn the details about which you ask now. The answers ARE publicly available (do some Google searches and you'll see) as well as privately (in the ODP forums). If you want it spoon-fed to you, there is a "New Editors" forum in ODP which really will cover almost anything a new editor would want to know.
Re: run by 2 people? I don't know which document says this, but the metas and catmods essentially run/manage the people part of things, and staff runs the technical end (special permissions, computers, software).
Again, all this stuff is pretty easy to find outside and inside the ODP forums.
Take the example of financing. I've still not found ANYWHERE, anything about the financing of the Open Directory project. How much does it cost, who is paying ( I am guessing AOL TW). If everything is above board this would be published.
Also, when you go to sign up on the directory, why is there not a 'Owned and operated by AOL/Time Warner' message, so everyone is clear about exactly what they are joining. It is not (I think) a charity. Exactly what is it? It looks like a wholly sponsored organisation to me. (in answer to the comment about everything put in front of my face)
If this is pure altruism on the part of AOL Time Warner, why do they not make this public to show their commitment to the web community? If everything is fine they would be proud to be SPONSORING such a venture. Huge public corporations very rarely sponsor anything which doesn't make money without getting some kind of positive PR. So why the silence?
(I'm sure some people will tell me that AOL TimeWarner are just a bunch of good hearted guys....)
I keep on being told that everything is there for me to find in the ODP. There is a lot of information there. Much of it does not even start to address the issues that I am questioning.
People suggest that the structure of the ODP does not matter. It's like joining a tennis club. Join or don't join. If a cabal runs the tennis club, hey, who cares?
The ODP is different. You just have to see the SEs that are using the ODP to see how important it is becoming. It is, in effect, becoming a part of the very organisation of the web. It claims to be an 'Open Directory'. It does not look very open to me.
Why is it not democratic in its structure? Why is the financing not published? I've read all the answers about how good the directory is.
One of the comments was:
"I praise the ODP. I think they do exceptionally well and I feel that as one of the last bastions of the internet who's philosophy is to keep information free, whether commercial or non-commercial, we should seek to protect them."
Here here. If the editors all had huge salaries, then feel free to complain, but the idea of a huge, important spam free directory all run by volunteers is worth praising
My questions to these people are:
What if you are one of the people who has a site rejected for no apparent reason and with no explanation?
Why, if its such a good thing, is it not more open about ownership etc?
Do you believe in democratic values? If you do, how can you accept such an important community resource being run by a cabal? Do you not think a democratic structure and constitution would logical for such an organisation if it is genuinely open?
It claims to be an 'Open Directory'. It does not look very open to me.
Anyone can use the data for free -- provided they adhere to the guidelines -- that's open.
What if you are one of the people who has a site rejected for no apparent reason and with no explanation?
As the OPD About page says:
Sounds open to me.
I've looked through the editor forums (again) and my questions are just not answered.
You're out to destroy the ODP aren't you? Are you doing this on your own, or are you being funded by a hidden faction? Is Yahoo behind this? Are they concerned about the decline of their own directory (and the resulting loss of income?). Or is this stratagem being engineered by M$ so AOL/TW will have to sell out to them?
Why are you hiding behind a mysterious username like "markymarky". I checked, there's no editor with that name. Are you ashamed of your editor name? Have you been adding spam to the directory in an effort to ruin its reputation and lower its value, thereby benefiting either Y! or M$? Or are there more than one of you involved in this little intrigue of yours, and you just forgot to use the same persona? Why aren't you more open about the members of your cabal and who is behind the funding, and what ends you are striving to achieve?
My questions are just not answered!
To the non-paranoid among us, this was a joke :) To the paranoid -- and you know we know who you are:
was it...?
You haven't presented any evidence that you are an editor (or aren't an employee of Yahoo for that matter), markymarky, and as such your tirades are looking less and less credible. It's very disingenuous to claim you are an insider, but give us some proof since that's a core "qualification" you are using to give your posts weight.
The forum charter hints that a discussion about how ODP runs itself really isn't what WebmasterWorld is all about. How does knowing who owns ODP help with submitting sites, for example?
I'm going to assume you are sincere. You don't seem to be aware of your ignorance and paranoia. As most others have done, I'll try to answer your "questions".
total lack of accountability
OTOH, all editors are 100% accountable. All editing you do, all I do, all editing done by the metas and staff -- it is all public to all editors. Additionally, most editors feel an obligation to ODP users -- the opportunity to help build and maintain a great directory is one of the reasons we edit.
Do you believe in democratic values or do you believe that having a cabal in charge of one of the most important resources on the Internet is okay.
Yes, I believe that having a "cabal" in charge of the ODP is ok. Heck, I believe it is necessary. You obviously have never been associated with any other large, open effort. Almost all are run by one person or a small group of True Believers.
If you are somehow thinking that editors should vote on various issues, you obviously don't realize our standards are much higher. We make changes thru a consensus process in our private forums. Or do you want us to open up our discussions to non-editors as well, take votes, and let 50 spammers with 5000 e-mail accounts actually control the ODP?
Instead of b*tching about stuff here which you don't understand, I suggest you edit for a while and learn what the ODP is about. Take part in our private forums. Learn our culture.
-- Rich
Made me smile seeing an ODP meta writing that (assuming you are an ODP meta - you haven't presented any evidence...:) )
It took me 30 seconds just now to establish who markymarky was in ODP. He is certainly there!
I thought you guys we meant to be ace at sniffing out such information to stop double log ins, editor abuse, etc!
Now back to reading the rest of the thread...

News Release
For Immediate Release
February 8, 2010
Associate Attorney General Richard Head
(603) 271-1248
Attorney General Michael Delaney announced that state negotiators and FairPoint Communications have reached an agreement addressing FairPoint's future commitments to consumers in New Hampshire. The agreement largely leaves intact the major provisions of the 2008 Public Utilities Commission Order authorizing the transfer of assets from Verizon Communications to FairPoint Communications.
The agreement was filed earlier today with the US Bankruptcy Court, and will be filed with the New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission for review and approval.
On October 26, 2009, FairPoint Communications filed a bankruptcy petition with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. The Attorney General's Office has been actively involved in the bankruptcy proceeding on behalf of the State to ensure the bankruptcy proceedings do not adversely affect New Hampshire consumers.
The agreement, negotiated by members of the Attorney General's Office, staff of the New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission and the state's bankruptcy counsel, protects the commitments FairPoint made in 2008 when it assumed operations from Verizon. The new agreement leaves substantially unchanged FairPoint's obligation to meet the broadband buildout, capital investment and service quality targets established in the Public Utilities Commission's 2008 Order. In addition, FairPoint committed to certain management and operational changes to improve service quality for consumers and to improve its responsiveness to the State's concerns. The agreement also protects the authority of the PUC to regulate FairPoint's activities in New Hampshire.
In addition to the agreement reached with the State of New Hampshire, FairPoint also reached an agreement with representatives of the State of Vermont, which is being filed today with the Bankruptcy Court.

Parsnip Noodles with Marinated Chickpeas, Apples, and Dukkah
The carrot pasta post that I published roughly a year and a half ago has been BY FAR the most popular. Almost 20% of all of the page views on this blog have been of that post and it still gets the majority of daily page views. Crazy right? You people really seem to be into kale stems and veggies resembling pasta. I love it.
Enter the wide-spread popularity of veggie noodling, brought on by a new and inexpensive little toy that can satisfy all of your zoodle and carrot noodle (coodle? HA) needs. I'm usually weary of buying trendy new kitchen gadgets, which can fill up my little condo kitchen rather quickly, but this one I had to have. For $11 and hardly any drawer space, I've been motivated to experiment with some of the vegetables that have been on sittin' on the back burner. So trendiness aside, anything that makes us eat more veggies rocks!
Today I'm sharing my newest creation of steamed parsnip noodles. Poodles? nope. Not going there.
I just went there. Sorry.
As you can see, there's a little more to this dish than the parsnip noodles.
First, lets talk about the marinated chickpeas.
lemon + thyme + garlic + chickpeas = magic :)
End of discussion.
Next, lets talk about dukkah. Dukkah is a delicious nut, seed, and spice mix, which has massive flavour potential and can be totally customized to your needs and taste. It can be used to season roasted veggies, salad, savory yogurt, grilled meats, and, of course, parsnip noodles.
The recipe I used is from Deborah Madison's Vegetable Literacy. I halved the recipe, since she recommends not keeping it for more than a couple of weeks. The halved recipe made about a cup of dukkah, so adjust the quantities to your needs.
Parsnip noodles, marinated chickpeas, dukkah, along with some diced apples and fresh parsley are what make up this lovely veggie rockin' fall meal. That is all I have for today :)
- 2 Tbsp. honey
- zest and juice from one lemon
- 3/4 cup filtered water
- 1 Tbsp. salt
- 2 cups cooked chickpeas
- 1 Tbsp. thyme leaves (or a few sprigs)
- 2 large cloves of garlic, halved or quartered
- 2 large parsnips (about 1 - 1.5 lbs), noodled
- 1 cup marinated chickpeas
- 1 medium apple, diced
- 1/2 cup finely chopped parsley + more for garnish
- 1/4 cup dukkah (see recipe in image above)
- 2 Tbsp. reserved chickpea marinade
- salt, pepper, and extra-virgin olive oil
- Prepare the marinated chickpeas at least a day in advance. To make the marinade, dissolve the honey in a small amount of water or lemon juice (it's easier that way) and combine it with salt and the rest of the water and lemon juice.
- Combine the chickpeas, thyme, garlic, and lemon zest and add them to a 2-cup jar and pour over the marinade. Add water if chickpeas are not covered. Refrigerate for at least a day and up to a week.
- Shortly before serving, follow the directions above to prepare the dukkah (it takes about 10 - 15 minutes including roasting time).
- Season the noodled parsnips generously with salt and steam for about 5 minutes, until soft.
- Combine noodles with marinated chickpeas, parsley, olive oil, and reserved marinade. Taste and season with more salt, oil, and marinade if needed.
- Divide into portions and top with diced apple, dukkah, and more parsley.
- Serve right away. Makes about 4 servings.
- If you have leftover parsnip noodles, keep the refrigerated separately from the other ingredients and warm up slightly before using.

Even if you're skeptical about your chances of meeting a real date here, you might hate yourself if you don't sign up to check out the rather raunchy members' cams. Hooking up in the flesh might best be achieved by upgrading, but with so many amateur exhibitionists showing off on their webcams getting off might not cost you a thing.
These naughty amateurs stripping and masturbating on member cams all are looking for dates too apparently. I must say that having free access (with some limits) to these exhibitionists makes this one worth checking out. You really need to upgrade to a premium membership to increase your chance of success at hooking up, but have fun before you decide to pay.
Even if you're not looking to meet someone in the flesh, you will enjoy the free member cams. A healthy number of women and loads of men like to show off their bods and even masturbate, some are actually looking for a date, but others simply are exhibitionists. You'll also see a mix of straight, lesbian, gay and transgendered individuals as well as couples.
Members here can browse profiles by proximity and gender. Any member can read messages from another member, but an upgrade is required to reply. The site offers instant messaging, video and audio chat, but the most enticing feature is the guarantee. If you sign up for a three-month or longer membership and don't manage to hook up, they give you three more months free.
This site's search engine encompasses every kind of sexual connection, either one-on-one or couples. Those willing to buy a Gold membership can enjoy instant messaging, video chat, VIP access to a large porn collection and have several sex dating profiles. Unpaid members can browse listings and show interest in other members, but cannot access full profiles.
Membership grants you access to sex dating profiles and the search options are extensive. Profiles can have a video intro, but they mostly rely on written descriptions and a few mandatory fields. Paying customers get access to e-mail, video and text chat and a phone sex line as well as an adult website. Site also has an e-zine, advice columns and a forum.
Meeting members on this site can only be done through the site's private e-mail system, which you only get with paid membership. There are many detailed ways to search and the site provides a two-way matching system which matches members based on their dating profile similarities. The site also advertises instant messaging and video and audio chatting.
Paid members can opt to make their profiles discreet and allow only those who pique their interest to view more. Then again, before people pay they can only see a small thumbnail pic and minimal info. Free members can do local searches though. Also, the more expensive of the two premium plans permits interaction with everyone regardless of membership level.
Free members to this site don't get much, but there are plenty of extras for premium members. Paid members can access profiles, photos and a collection of streaming porn, XXX photos and sex games and also contact each other via e-mail, instant messaging and chat. Those not wishing to pay can view profiles, but can't contact any members until they upgrade.
You can do free local searches in the U.S. using a zip code or by typing the name of a city in the U.K., in Canada and for other international locations. You can see full profiles (only small versions of photos) and last login date as well as add someone to your buddy network to show your interest before upgrading. All other features require upgrading.
This sex-dating experience here is limited to your pursuit of hookups with the opposite sex and you can only do proximity searches based on your home location, which can't be temporarily altered if you're traveling. However, you can use advanced search options before paying and view the first 60 matches. Replying and sending emails as well as full access to search results and other areas of the site requires upgrading.
What sets this online dating site apart from many others? I'd say that although many sites focus on casual hookups, they usually also toss in options for friendship and romance. Here they don't beat around the bush in anyway. Even if "to have sex" isn't an option automatically checked off when you create a profile, all the other ones that are pre-checked suggest you'll be looking for virtual or real-life intimate encounters.
This site is fairly standard, but for me one thing is really important before you join any site is that you can do local searches. Here you can definitely check out what the crowd is like in your area. Anything else beyond a prewritten flirt requires paying though. This site has a modest number of visitors to its pages each month, but beats some competitors.
What makes this site unique? To be fair, it's not that much besides one feature and that one thing that sets it a bit apart is the hookups options. You get to choose with whom you'd like to hook up and if they choose you too then you might just have a chance to make the magic happen. If you want to talk with someone though be prepared to pay for a membership.
The name sounds sweet and innocent enough, but this online dating site is actually geared towards naughty ebony hookups. You will see both men and women of color that are looking for intimate encounters. You can sign up in just a jiffy, but other than local searches in Canada and the US, nothing else is free. Still, the site seems popular enough all the same.
It's definitely a popular site for making quick hookups, but that doesn't mean that there aren't some catches involved. You can do free local searches as an American or Canadian member. Still, that's about the end to the free experience. To get more than just a peek at what's offered, you need to upgrade and then loads of fun stuff will be yours.

Mary B. Daly, M.D., Ph.D., Named Senior Vice President of Population Science Division at Fox Chase Cancer Center
PHILADELPHIA (January 6, 2006) - Fox Chase Cancer Center has announced the appointment of Mary B. Daly, MD, PhD, as senior vice president of the population science division, effective Jan. 1. Daly also becomes the first to hold the new Timothy R. Talbot Jr. Chair in Cancer Research, named for the first president of Fox Chase.
Daly succeeds Paul F. Engstrom, MD, who has assumed responsibilities as senior vice president for extramural research programs. Daly oversees Fox Chase programs in behavioral research, human genetics, epidemiologic research and cancer prevention research.
Daly is an internationally recognized leader in cancer control, having served as director of the cancer prevention and control program at Fox Chase Cancer Center since 1999. A medical oncologist specializing in epidemiology, breast and ovarian cancers, Daly is renowned for her work in the development of evidence-based interventions for cancer risk education, risk counseling, risk communication and behavior modification.
Daly is founder and director of the Margaret Dyson Family Risk Assessment Program at Fox Chase. This program-one of the first of its kind and the only one in the region when it opened in 1991-is a prevention and early-detection program for women with a hereditary or genetic risk of breast or ovarian cancer.
"Mary is tremendously respected in the field of preventative oncology for her insight and leadership and her Fox Chase colleagues revere her for her unwavering dedication to patients," said Robert C. Young, M.D., president of Fox Chase Cancer Center. "Mary is an invaluable asset to Fox Chase and her contributions as a senior leader will be significant in guiding this world-class research institution in the coming years."
Daly noted, "Dr. Tim Talbot was a true visionary and a respected leader. I am honored to hold his chair as senior vice president. As the leader of the population science division, I hope to build on the foundation created by Dr. Paul Engstrom and continue to forge a path to cancer prevention."
Engstrom will oversee Fox Chase extramural research programs such as those involving the Oncology Physician Network, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, the Cancer Information Service partnership program and other research activities. He will remain as medical director of the Fox Chase Network, a select group of 27 Pennsylvania and New Jersey community hospitals affiliated with Fox Chase, and as the medical director for the American-Russian Cancer Alliance.
Daly joined Fox Chase in 1989. She has served on several national and international scientific committees, including the Board of Scientific Advisors to the National Cancer Institute (NCI), Board of Scientific Counselors for the NCI's Cancer Prevention and Control Division, the Human Genome Cancer Studies Consortium and the Observational Study Monitoring Board for the Women's Health Initiative. She is past-president of the American Society of Preventive Oncology.
Daly is currently the principal investigator for two peer-reviewed grants from the NCI as well as grants from the Pennsylvania Department of Health. She is co-principal investigator for Fox Chase's U01 grant for the Early Detection Research Network.
Daly is board-certified in internal medicine and medical oncology by the American Board of Internal Medicine. She is a fellow of the American College of Physicians and a member of the American Association for Cancer Research, American Society of Clinical Oncology, American College of Epidemiology, American Association of Cancer Education and several other professional organizations.
Daly has received numerous awards for her exemplary contributions to the science of cancer control, including the American Cancer Society Cancer Control Award in 1996 and 2004 and the John Peter Minton, M.D., Ph.D., Memorial Lectureship at Ohio State's James Cancer Center.
Born in Bridgeport, Conn., Daly earned her B.A. in biology at New York's College of New Rochelle in 1965. She received her M.S. in public health, Ph.D. in epidemiology and M.D. from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She received all of her internal medicine and medical oncology training at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio.
Fox Chase Cancer Center, part of the Temple University Health System, is one of the leading cancer research and treatment centers in the United States. Founded in 1904 in Philadelphia as one of the nation's first cancer hospitals, Fox Chase was also among the first institutions to be designated a National Cancer Institute Comprehensive Cancer Center in 1974. Fox Chase researchers have won the highest awards in their fields, including two Nobel Prizes. Fox Chase physicians are also routinely recognized in national rankings, and the Center's nursing program has received the Magnet recognition for excellence four consecutive times. Today, Fox Chase conducts a broad array of nationally competitive basic, translational, and clinical research, with special programs in cancer prevention, detection, survivorship, and community outreach.

A jacket drawstring, a handgun falling from a truck, thick brush on a creek bank. Each triggered a gun to fire, causing another hunting injury in Iowa. Each is different, but typical, of most 2013 firearm hunting incidents: self-inflicted, non-fatal, but potentially tragic.
Iowa hunters chalked up the fewest number of incidents on record last year, continuing a run of 10 years with zero (in seven years) to two (in 2010) fatalities tied to firearms while hunting. Yet when any incident could result in tragedy, the goal is zero across the board.
"We continue to see a trend of self-inflicted incidents, seven this year. That has stayed pretty steady over the last four, five years," said Megan Wisecup, safety education coordinator for the Department of Natural Resources. "It gets back to basic firearm handling rules: point the muzzle in a safe direction, keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot, and take an extra minute when crossing obstacles to unload."
Vehicles seem to be another common denominator, when a gun accidentally discharges as it is loaded or unloaded.
However, the basic key to the long-term drop can be traced to a Saturday morning or Sunday afternoon in a classroom or an outdoor safety course.
"Back in the '60s, we were seeing over 100 incidents and up to 20 fatalities a year," Wisecup said. "Hunter education - voluntary since 1960 - became mandatory in 1983. Since then, we have seen a drastic drop in the numbers of hunting incidents."
There were 11,505 Iowa students certified in 368 classes 2013. The 10-hour sessions, usually spread over two or three days, teach basic wildlife understanding, hunting regulations, first aid and ethics, as well as safe firearm handling, under the watchful eyes of nearly 1,300 volunteer instructors.
"We like the traditional classes for younger students, those 12, up to 16 years old," said Pat Jorgensen, recreational safety officer for the DNR in eastern Iowa. "They get a lot more hands-on type learning: live firing, a safety trail with 'shoot/don't shoot' scenarios. They handle firearms in a safe manner."
Plan on taking the no-cost course? Plan ahead. Since most instructors are on their own time, most classes come in March or early April and late summer and early fall, before Iowa's major hunting seasons. The classes and emphasis evolve over time. For instance, an online-only course is now available for adults, recognition that work schedules and juggling family commitments don't always leave two or three days in a row to sit through a class.
Even the areas of emphasis are adjusted over the years. A noticeable climb in tree stand falls - some fatal - brought special attention to the 50,000 Iowa bow hunters and other hunters who go upstairs.
"We focus more on tree stand safety: putting up stands, carrying equipment up and down the tree," Jorgensen said. "Using three-point contact climbing (at least three hands or feet in contact with the ladder or stand at all times), avoiding faulty equipment, weather as a factor."
And the attention to safety does not stop once they are in the stand. A decade ago, most tree stand hunters slid a single strap around their waist, if even that. Now, full body harnesses are urged.
"Still, people are not always wearing them properly. That has resulted in injuries and death," Jorgensen said.
And all that emphasis still carries a strong insistence on wearing blaze orange. The minimum might be torso covered (gun deer hunting) or an item at least 50 percent blaze orange (upland game hunting). However, instructors stress that more is always better. Some of them have had to deal with a group of solemn, scared hunters who just saw a friend or family member go down because of a careless moment.

CHARLESTON, S.C.-- Republican Mark Sanford has a court hearing for allegedly trespassing onto his ex-wife's property.
Sanford's court date is set for May 9th, just two days after he faces Democrat Elizabeth Busch in an election for South Carolina's 1st District Congressional seat.
Ex-wife Jenny Sanford filed the complaint against the former governor, that says she saw him exiting the back door of her home on February 3rd while using his cell phone for a flashlight. The couple's 2010 divorce settlement states that neither may enter the other's home without permission.
Jenny Sanford says the timing of the hearing has nothing to do with his attempt to rebuild his political career.

Each week, a Suns member discusses off-court topics.
Question: What centers do you like to watch in the league?
Answer: That's a bizarre question because everyone is used differently. Like the kid JaVale McGee is a defensive center so that's how you'd rate him. He's got like (Brendan) Haywood in Dallas. If they affect the game defensively, they're doing a great job. Dwight Howard is like that, even though he's how everyone else is measured, except at the free throw line.
Q: Do you feel like a lot of today's centers would have been considered power forwards during your career?
A: A lot of guys would be. Even Marcin (Gortat) would've been a four. (Utah's Al) Jefferson is a four. (Sacramento's DeMarcus) Cousins is right there on the fringe. Who is the prototype center right now? Tim Duncan. He's really a center but they say he's a four. He's probably the best measure mark for a center in the league. He's a low-post player. He's a rebounder. He's a basket protector. And he can score on the post. (The Los Angeles Lakers' Andrew) Bynum is as well. He just doesn't have the longevity. He's pretty good. Some goofy things are happening with him. To me, those guys are more true centers because they do all the things they do -- guard, protect the basket, score.
Q: Do you feel like there is a lost art among centers?
A: Yeah, hooks. Nobody shoots them or works on them. I watch every team. If you see somebody shoot a hook on ESPN, it's a big deal. It's something that nobody works on.
Q: But you have with Robin Lopez. Did he have one or did you ask him to do it?
A: Most guys, that's not what they work on. That's definitely not what the young kids work on. A couple years ago, I worked with a group of high school kids that were supposed to be the top 25 big guys in the country. Out of the 25, one of them could shoot a hook. It's something that's not taught. They could all run, jump, dunk and shoot 3s but they had no low-post moves. You have to be taught that from a young age. Those types of teachers are non-existent.
Q: Who gave you the nickname "Teach"?
A: I don't know. I think it was maybe Jim Cleamons when we were with Chicago.
Q: Do you think Anthony Davis will fit into that defensive type of center you mentioned?
A: We'll see when he gets here. It's not easy to come into this league when you're 21 or 22, let alone at his age. It can be overwhelming. My first game was against Darryl Dawkins when I'm 21 years old. I'm going, "Wow, I'm playing against Darryl Dawkins." The game went fine. It was scary before the game. It was scary all day. Then you get Bob Lanier and Artis Gilmore, let alone to get Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. My first game against Kareem didn't go well, I'll tell you that.
Q: Did he sky hook you to death?
A: Yeah, he killed me. It took me a while to figure it out. If I'd come out a year ahead of that, I would've got killed worse. It took Steve (Nash) a while to figure it out. It took Gary Payton a while to figure it out. Chicago gave away Tyson Chandler. Now everybody loves him but it took him until he was 25.
