Explore the origins and evolution of ISIL
'Miners Shot Down' wins Emmy for best documentary
Mya Guarnieri | 10 Jul 2010 14:31 GMT | Israel
Mahmoud Alami, a Jerusalem taxi driver, knows the city like the back of his hand. He knows the neighbourhoods, the streets. And he knows the stop lights.There is one in particular that troubles him not professionally but personally. It stands between Beit Hanina, a Palestinian neighbourhood, and Pisgaat Zeev, a Jewish settlement."It stays green for [settlers] for five minutes. But to go in and out of Beit Hanina? Only two or three cars can pass," Alami says. "It's too short. It causes a lot of traffic jams."Al Jazeera found that stoplights that lead to Jewish settlements and neighbourhoods stay green for an average of a minute and a half. In Palestinian areas, it's 20 seconds. One light in predominantly Arab East Jerusalem is green for less than 10 seconds."[Palestinians] are stuck," says Amir Daud, another taxi driver. "It reflects a very bad situation for the people."Budgetary discrimination
Traffic jams are just one of the many problems that plague infrastructure and services in Palestinian areas of Jerusalem. Roads are poorly maintained. They are narrow and bumpy, riddled with cracks and potholes. Street signs and sidewalks are almost non-existent.Trash containers are usually communal and there are often too few to meet the needs of the neighbourhood. Pedestrians, forced to walk on the shoulder of the road, wade through garbage.Jewish neighbourhoods and settlements, on the other hand, are neat and orderly. Sidewalks and traffic circles keep pedestrians safe; roads are well-marked, some with lit signs. Most buildings have a garbage bin and the streets are free of litter.In one Jewish area, a grassy median is adorned with a rainbow assortment of decorative sculptures - metal children playing, kicking footballs, and riding bikes.When Al Jazeera presented a list detailing the differences between Jewish and Arab neighbourhoods to the Jerusalem municipality, the spokesperson denied the findings.But, speaking on the condition of anonymity, a former employee of the Jerusalem municipality confirmed that there is discrimination on a budgetary level. The sports department offers the most dramatic example - only 0.5 per cent of funds are allocated to Palestinian neighbourhoods. The other 99.5 per cent goes to Jewish areas.Quality of lifeNisreen Alyan, an attorney at the Association for Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI), has recently filed a petition protesting against the lack of garbage collection in the Palestinian neighbourhood of Tsur Baher, located in East Jerusalem. Despite a population of 20,000, only 12 streets receive the service.This impacts both health and the quality of life, Alyan explains. Stray dogs, some carrying rabies, are attracted to the piles of trash. Residents have been attacked by the animals. And now children are afraid to go outside."There are no public gardens for them, they don't have anything," Alyan says. "So these streets are the only place for the cars, for the children, for the garbage, for the dogs, for everything."The petition ACRI has filed asks the municipality to meet its legal responsibility, "nothing less, nothing more," Alyan says. "[This] means that they have to give [the residents] the right of sanitation."Alyan has informed the city of Tsur Baher's troubles in the past. But the city claims it cannot serve the whole neighbourhood because garbage trucks cannot maneuver the small streets. Alyan points out that this should not be an obstacle. The municipality has found creative solutions in other parts of Jerusalem.The streets in Tsur Baher are problematic, one resident explains. There are not enough of them.While most Palestinian neighbourhoods are subject to building restrictions, Tsur Baher is one of the few that is free to build. Much of their land has been appropriated by a neighbouring settlement, Har Homa; some is on the other side of the Israeli-built separation barrier; and there is no infrastructure to reach what is left.The lack of roads also means that emergency services cannot access all parts of the neighbourhood. Children have died in house fires. And because of a police order that prohibits ambulances from entering Palestinian neighbourhoods without a police escort residents have died waiting for medical care."The problem is that the policemen don't come in time," a resident says. "The ambulance is stopped waiting at the top of the neighbourhood for half an hour .... People have died in this situation.""[ACRI is] writing another petition about it now," Alyan adds.Paying taxes
Asked about traffic lights in Tsur Baher, Alyan answers that there are none.Out of concern for the children's safety, the residents scraped together the money to add speed bumps to the roads.In other neighbourhoods, Palestinians have pooled funds to pay for garbage collection and street sweeping.This is after they have paid taxes.Because over 90 per cent of Israel's Palestinians live in towns separate from the Jewish population, many Israeli Jews excuse away the differences between Arab and Jewish areas with a "poor municipality" argument.They are poor, their towns are poor. Arabs do not pay a lot of taxes, or enough taxes, or any taxes at all, Israeli Jews say, so their villages cannot afford the same services they enjoy.But that reasoning falls apart in Jerusalem, a city striped with Palestinian and Jewish areas. And with Nof Tzion (Zion View), a Jewish settlement found smack in the centre of Jabel Mukhaber, a Palestinian neighbourhood, the differences are glaringly obvious."For years, [Jabel Mukhaber] didn't have a main street," Alyan says. "Just after they built Nof Tzion, [the municipality] built a very fine street with pavement and lights." But the road stops dead after Nof Tzion. It gets bumpy, dropping off into gravel, then dirt, for the Palestinians.The "poor municipality" argument does not hold weight in Jerusalem for another reason. To the city's Palestinians, who have only residency and no citizenship, paying taxes is tremendously important."If you won't pay your taxes, you won't have proof that east Jerusalem is the centre of your life and if you can't prove that, you will lose your residency," Alyan explains. This means that one becomes stateless, a refugee."Before [Palestinian residents of Jerusalem] find money to feed their children, they pay their taxes," Alyan says.Tsur Baher, along with neighbouring Umm Tuba, pays approximately $7mn in taxes annually to a municipality they do not get to vote for. East Jerusalem residents tell Alyan that they just want the government to invest what they have paid back into the neighbourhoods.'Psychological warfare'Yousef Jabareen, the director of Dirasat, the Arab Centre for Law and Policy, explains that public services are also funded on the national level. This is another point of inequality.Jabareen points to the "National Priority" programme that gave economic incentives to government-selected areas. When the programme was introduced in 1998, 500 Jewish towns received national priority status. While Palestinians make up nearly 20 per cent of Israel's population, and half of the nation's poor, only four Arab villages were selected."That was a classic example of how the allocation of government resources is discriminatory," Jabareen says, adding that grave inequalities can be found in the state-funded educational system as well.Everything - from the poor conditions of the infrastructure to the lack of public services - adds up to leave Palestinians feeling rejected and disconnected, Jabareen says."It's a feeling of frustration and of not belonging .... That the government and state is excluding you and you are not counted as an equal."Do the disparities in Jerusalem's neighbourhoods and the differences in funding throughout the nation amount to apartheid?"In some areas you could identify some characteristics of apartheid that should raise a lot of concern about the future," Jabareen comments.A young Israeli Jew, fresh from army service, simply remarks, "It's a kind of psychological warfare. The idea is to get [Palestinians] to leave."

Benton Elementary School Reviews
The school, in general, does not seem to be able to effectively deal with some children with ADHD or bipolar disorder. Nor do they seem to be able to properly accommodate some of them. In this regard, IMO they are a challenged school. You may need to work very closely with the school if your child has these issues to be sure your child is getting the help they need, or you may have to consider alternate ways of educating your child if these issues become a problem. Aside from this, it's a good school.
I love my school. I also love all my teachers. They are Very helpful. I could not see myself at anyother school. Another thing that I love is we have the most team spirit I have ever seen. I know that are teachers are proud in our school they said and so am I. Mainly because of our test scores. 9 out of 10 i think that is something to be proud of. Another thing is that I and others have noticed that new students feel very welcome and are comfortable in there new enviroment. Thank you for letting me tell you about Benton Elementary School in Benton, KY.

So who's ready for a contest of skill and strategy? As you know, I like to run contests every now and then to keep things interesting and make sure everyone is paying attention. Some past contests have included:
Well today I thought I would pick it up a little and change the way it works. For today's contest, I am limiting everyone to only 250 entries (so you can't just submit entries all day long) AND you need to choose how you want to divide them up, because there are three prizes to choose from. To enter, simply click the "Submit Entry!" button below the prize you want to be entered for. You can submit all of your entries for one prize (by clicking that same Submit Entry!" button 250 times) or divide them amongst the three (by clicking different "Submit Entry!" buttons numerous times), but you're only allowed 250 entries. It is up to you how you use them.
To make it even more interesting, we're offering this one worldwide, not just limited to the 57 United States. As always, full Terms and Conditions are posted below, so check there for the complete rules.
Ready to enter? Here you go:
Good luck to all of you!
Terms & Conditions: Offer is valid only to individuals 18 years of age and older. Only 250 entries per person. Contest open to individuals worldwide, not just the 57 United States. 57 states? Yes, the actual 50 that there are, plus the state of confusion, and whatever other states our president apparently knows about that we don't yet. Contest valid only through April 1st, 2010. Hey, wait a minute… Isn't April 1st also known as April Fool's Day? Why yes, it is. Is this actually an April Fool's joke? Yes, it is. How would I know that? Simple, I told you above to read the Terms & conditions and here in the terms & conditions I am flat out telling you this is just an April Fool's joke and in no way real. Also, I included the "57 states" comment above as a hint that something "funny" was going on. Haven't I seen that Xbox 360 Wireless Helmet before? Maybe. It is an April Fool's joke that was created by the Xbox Team back in 2008 that I thought I would recycle to see who's paying attention. So what happens when I click the buttons above? As you probably noticed, if you tried, it simply refreshes the page so you feel rewarded for clicking the button. Does this mean I'm not going to win anything? No, you aren't going to win anything, since as I have stated here, this is an April Fool's joke with a prize above that doesn't even exist and in itself is a prior April Fools joke. I am simply trying to see how many of you will actually listen to what I said to do (read the terms & conditions) BEFORE you start clicking the buttons above. What happens if I click the buttons more than 250 times? Tell you what, give it a try and let me know. So what is the skill and strategy you're talking about? Simple, strategy = understand the contest so read the T's & C's. Skill, read them before clicking the buttons 250 times. Happy April Fools Day to all of you and yes, I will return some real contests to the Blog in the future, plus this is the only April Fools Day post I will put up on the Blog today. I just figured we should have a little fun up here as well. It is back to serious content from this point on today.
Thank you and have a wonderful day,

'I Reserve Right to Vote Against Stimulus,' Says Brave Taxpayer Hero...Diane Feinstein?
4:50 PM, Feb 6, 2009 • By MARY KATHARINE HAM
Do not mess with Diane Feinstein, people. She already sent a shot across the President's bow when she was not informed of Leon Panetta's nomination to CIA chief, knocking Barack's lack of communication and indirectly knocking Panetta's qualifications.
Then she broke with the rest of the Senate Democrats to support the seating of controversial Blogojevich appointee Roland Burris to Barack Obama's seat in the U.S. Senate, making fools of her preening colleagues by conceding that the Senate would have trouble lawfully obstructing Burris.
Now, she has declared on the Senate floor that she, a California Democrat, reserves the right to vote against a stimulus package if she believes it does not provide the jobs promised. All the Obama scare tactics and sharp new tone aren't exactly working the way he had planned. Obama's superimposition of bad-faith politicking on even good-faith skeptics of this bill seems to have made a rebel skeptic out of a very powerful Democrat. Badly played, sir:
Update: Allahpundit has the full video of the Feinstein comments, which make it clear she's complaining about too many tax cuts in the bill. I hereby revoke my facetious taxpayer hero title. For someone who thinks this thing is a stink bomb, however, it's nice to see a Democrat angered by the bill, even for the wrong reasons. This is going to be a rough road.

Rising costs for college education continue to outpace families' earnings
Mitchell Mary, 22, has been paying his way through college by working part time at Best Buy, watching tuition costs notch up every year.
"It's hard to make enough money to pay for classes and not take out loans," said Mary, a senior at the University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg who said he will graduate with debt. "At a certain point, you just expect it to keep going up."
A new report from College Board shows that costs rose again in 2013-14, but it was the smallest percentage increase in 30 years.
But even as universities and colleges attempt to tamp down costs, students are paying more in tuition and fees because federal and state aid is not keeping pace.
In its annual report on college pricing and student aid released this week, the nonprofit College Board reported a 2.9 percent increase nationally for in-state tuition and fees at public, four-year institutions, compared to a 4.5 percent increase in 2012-13 and an 8.5 percent hike the year before.
The smaller increase was good news on the region's campuses.
"I would think that students and parents alike would be relieved to hear that message," said University of Pittsburgh spokesman Kenneth Service.
Pitt raised costs 3.2 percent for 2013-14, bringing tuition and fees to $17,100. It went up 3 percent last year and 8.5 percent in 2011-12. Tuition and fees at the Greensburg campus are $13,128 for 2013-14, a 1.8 percent increase over last year.
The trend — a steep jump followed by smaller increases as the economy recovers — is typical in recessions, said study author Sandy Baum of the Urban Institute.
"This is good news, but it's not like, oh, no more problem," said Baum, who expects increases in tuition costs to outpace economic recovery.
According to the study, real income in 2011 and 2012, adjusted for inflation, remained lower at all levels than in 2002.
Federal grant aid has leveled off, but state and institutional aid has increased, Baum said.
"Grant aid did go up, but it didn't go up as much as the price went up," she said, noting that many students are struggling as much as before.
Paul-James Cukanna, associate provost for enrollment management at Duquesne University, said the school has boosted financial aid to students to narrow the gap between tuition and federal and state aid.
"Institutions have to give away more dollars to help families afford the cost of attendance," he said.
Duquesne's tuition rose 4 percent this year, on par with previous years, to $31,385.
State- and state-related-school officials say past tuition spikes resulted from a sharp 18 percent drop in state funding several years ago.
Two years ago, the state mandated that those schools keep their tuition increase on par with inflation to see their state subsidies maintained. This year, the state asked that schools keep costs near inflation, about 3 percent.
Local colleges obliged.
"That's been a conscious effort to keep tuition down in the face of some fairly significant cuts in state subsidy," Service said.
The Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education raised tuition 3 percent in each of the past two years, said spokesman Kenn Marshall. But in 2011-12, students saw a 7.5 percent spike.
Marshall said rising health care and pension expenses make it difficult to keep tuition costs down.
Pennsylvania is ranked third in the nation for most expensive public college tuition, behind Vermont and New Hampshire.
Nationally, average in-state tuition and fees at public schools cost $8,893 for four-year and $3,264 for two-year institutions.
The national numbers unfairly paint Pennsylvania public schools as expensive, Marshall said. The average annual tuition and fees for a state school in Pennsylvania is $9,004.
Seton Hill, a private college, raised tuition 3 percent last year to about $30,000. According to the report, average published tuition and fees at private, nonprofit, four-year institutions rose by 3.8 percent, to $30,094.
"We're really trying our best to address the affordability issue without sacrificing quality," said Michael Poll, vice president of enrollment management at Seton Hill.
He said students and parents are focusing on investment returns, forcing colleges to show them what will result from money spent on a college degree.
"Universities are increasing tuition and fees at a higher rate than a family's income is, increasingly," Poll said. "Eventually, that is a recipe for disaster. Now, we've been given a heads-up — this cannot continue. It's given the higher education community a wake-up call. I think that's a good thing."
Student surveys at Westmoreland County Community College show many high school students are choosing the college based on the low cost, said President Daniel Obara.
"There isn't any question the last couple of years have been challenging in a environment for diminishing support for public education," he said. "It is challenging to keep tuition affordable."

A day after the resignation of Department of Children's Services chief Kate O'Day, an already scheduled hearing by lawmakers to examine agency woes will get under way at 11 a.m.
Interim DCS Commissioner Jim Henry and DCS' chief legal counsel Doug Dimond will addresss the Senate Health & Welfare Committee, a spokeswoman said this morning.
The hearing was originally expected to include O'Day, who instead had resigned by Tuesday morning. In announcing her resignation, Gov. Bill Haslam said O'Day had felt she had become a distraction from the agency's work in caring for children.
Henry is commissioner of the Department of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities. He will continue in that job as well as overseeing the state's $650 million child welfare agency until Haslam finds a replacement.
DCS has come under scrutiny for a growing series of problems that includes at least four separate acknowledgements it had miscounted the deaths of children served by the agency, a glitchy $27 million computer system that failed to properly track children in its care, a child abuse hotline unable to handle all calls and accusations caseworkers failed to adequately investigation child abuse, among other things.
Both Republican and Democratic lawmakers have called for hearings to examine the troubled agency.

"An interesting, if brief, account of the sites and the Allied countermeasures, it is recommended to those with an interest in this phase of World War II."- The Coast Defense Journal (May 2008)
"Steven J. Zaloga's German V-Weapon Sites 1943-45 joins others in Osprey's specialty 'Fortress' series, surveying how the deployment of German missles during this time required new thinking on launch sites and purposes. In-depth military libraries covering World War II receive details on the configuration and plans of these heavy missile sites and will find the specifics make for excellent analysis." -California Bookwatch (April 2008)
"The book's greatest strength is undoubtedly the rich collection of photographs of surviving V-1 and V-2 launch sites… German V-Weapon Sites 1943-45 is a great primer for anyone interested in learning more about these wonder weapons that failed to deliver on their promises." -Peter Chen, World War II Database (January 28, 2008)
"The meat of the book…is the photographs of surviving German missile bases throughout Europe, as well as photos and accounts of when they were in operation… This fascinating book (Volume 22 of the Fortress series) is replete with scores of color photographs and illustrations, as well as vintage WWII black-and-white shots." -Scott Mingus, Charge! (January 12, 2008)
"Author Zaloga covers the development and operational use of these weapons as well as the planning and construction of sites, some of which were of gargantuan proportions… The use of period images as well as the superb illustrations of Johnson and Taylor really add to the value of this book by showing how some of these massive constructs would have appeared if left unbombed. In all, an exemplary edition on one of the more interesting aspects of the German military during WWII." -Scott Van Aken, modelingmadness.com (January 2008)

Walgreen's is right around the corner from becoming a reality for Deming and Luna County residents. Walgreens contractor Wilger Enterprises, based out of Albuquerque, arrived Wednesday morning with six pieces of heavy construction equipment.
"We have more equipment on the way," Wilger Superintendent Tim Lindgren said. "We have started the process by pushing the dirt."
Bencor LLC. in Colorado Springs, which is a real estate development company, is overseeing the managing of the construction of the Deming Walgreens.
The Deming Walgreens store will contain 16,510 square feet of space with a drive-thru pharmacy. The store will be located between North Gold and Copper streets and West Pine and Cedar streets.
The Walgreens project lease was approved in a special City Council meeting held back in Sept. of 2013. In October of that same year, Mayor Andres Z. Silva, along with Walgreens officials, signed the lease into agreement.
"It took a year to complete the negotiation of that lease," Deming Administrator Richard McInturff said.
Walgreens is planning to deliver the Deming store to the public this summer.

Types of Binary Options
This broker offers its customers the following types of binary options:
- Options Above / Below: The most common type of binary option in the market due to the fast and high profits that it offers to the trader and the simplicity of its operation compared to other financial instruments. In this case, the investor has to predict whether the price of the underlying will end up below or above the entry price (the price of the underlying asset at which the option was acquired) once the contract expires. Generally, the period of maturity of the Above/Below opcuons of VaultOptions is 1 hour, however the customers are able to trade options with longer or shorter expiration periods, from 60 seconds to 1 month.
- One Touch Options: These binary options are more complex compared to the Above/Below options because the trader has to predict whether the price of the underlying instrument will reach or not an stablished price level or barrier. If the price of the underlying asset touches the barrier, the option automatically expires even if the regular maturity period has not ended These options usually have a maturity longer than Above/Below options and offer higher profits up to 500% in the case of VaultOptions.
- Custom Binary Options: These are binary options in which the trader has the ability to modify the main parameters of the option contract, such as the expiration period, the underlying asset, the risk level of the operation and the return offered if the option expires In The Money. In general, these are Above/Below options through which the clients of the broker can trade with options fully adapted to their trading strategies.
- 60 Seconds binary options: This is a special type of Above/Below option which are characterized by an expiration period of just 60 seconds. Thanks to this feature, these derivatives are ideal for investors interested in trades that can generate fast earnings, especially in volatile markets and instruments such as Forex, oil and gold for example
Payments Offered by VaultOptions
The return o payment offered by the binary options offered by VaultOption that expire In The Money (winning transactions) is the following:
- Above/Below Binary options: The return is 65% to 89% of the money invested by the trader in the option.
- One Touch Binary Options: The return offered is 65% to 400% of the capital invested by the trader in the option.
-For binary options that expire Out The Money (losing trades where the investors are wrong in their forecast about the market), VaultOption offers the trader the possibility to recover up to 10% of the amount invested. This feature reduces the impact of losing trades in the account of the trader, especially during periods when the client suffer several losses.
Trading Accounts
For now, VaulOptions offers one type of trading account for all its clients, regardless of the initial amount deposited by the trader. This account offers all services developed by VaultOptions for its customers, including the use of the online trading platform, the ability to trade binary options based on all the underlying assets listed above, trading education for the client, customized binary options, 60 seconds options and several additional services.
The opening of the account is free, and the customers have the possibility to deposit funds until the moment when they will start trading with binary options. This means that no prior capital deposit is required.
Trading Platform
-Regular trading-platform: It is a web based application that can be accessed from anywhere with an Internet connection through VaultOptions website and requires no download or installation. This platform includes several trading tools such as market-updated prices for the underlying assets and price charts for example. The regular trading platform of VaultOptions is specifically designed to operate with binary options of various types (above/below and one touch), so it includes several features for positions management which allow the opening of new positions and the control of options that are still active.
This platform includes the following additional tools:
- Roll Over: This feature provides the ability to extend the maturity of a binary option, so it is quite useful in those operations where the trader believes that an option which at the moment is "Out The Money" has the possibility to expire "In The Money" if the time to maturity is increased. This powerful stop loss tool can be applied up to 10 minutes prior to the expiration of the contract, however, the use of this feature requires the addition of an extra investment of 30% (the potential return also increases by 30%).
- Double Up: Through this feature, the trader has the possibility to increase their investment and double the profits. Basically, when an option is near maturity and the trader predicts that the market will continue in the same direction, VaultOptions offers the possibility of doubling the option with just one click on the button Double Up In this way, the trader opens a new position with the same conditions as the original but with the current price of the underlying asset.
- Options Builder: It is a function that allows the trader to design and trade with their own custom binary options. These options can be tailored to the needs and investor trading strategies. With this tool, the trader has the ability to modify the main parameters of the contract, including the underlying asset, the expiration period, the return offered by the option (if it expires In The Money) and the level of risk.
-Pro Trader: This is a web based platform that is more focused on price charts compared to the previous platform. Pro Trader is designed to trade with Above/Below binary options and offers several features including updated market quotes, price charts and the ability to track the historical performance of selected financial asset prices. Also, it includes the BuyMeOut function which allows the trader to sell an option back to the broker at any time (while the option is active), of course for a commision. This tool helps the investor to limit or reduce the risk of loss.

|Transport of hypoxia-inducible factor HIF-1alpha into the nucleus involves importins 4 and 7.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 19788888 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Hypoxia-inducible transcription factor 1 (HIF-1) mediates the cellular response to hypoxia. HIF-1 activity is controlled via the synthesis, degradation or intracellular localization of its alpha subunit. HIF-1alpha contains a C-terminal bipartite basic NLS that interacts with importins alpha. We have recently shown that HIF-1alpha also contains an atypical hydrophobic CRM1- and phosphorylation-dependent NES and can therefore shuttle in and out of the nucleus. We now report that C-terminal NLS mutants of HIF-1alpha can still enter the nucleus when CRM1-dependent nuclear export is inhibited, indicating that HIF-1alpha contains an additional functional nuclear import signal. Using an in vitro nuclear import assay, we further show that importins 4 and 7 accomplish nuclear import of HIF-1alpha more efficiently than the classical importin alpha/beta NLS receptor. Binding assays confirmed the specific physical interaction between HIF-1alpha and importins 4 and 7. Moreover, the interaction of importin 7 with HIF-1alpha is mapped at its N-terminal part encompassing the bHLH-PAS(A) domain. By expressing functional HIF-1 in yeast, we show that Nmd5, the yeast orthologue of importin 7, is required for HIF-1alpha nuclear accumulation and activity. Taken together, our data show that shuttling of HIF-1alpha between cytoplasm and nucleus is a complex process involving several members of the nuclear transport receptor family.

GALVESTON MOVEMENT. The Galveston Movement operated between 1907 and 1914 to divert Jews fleeing the pogroms of Russia and eastern Europe away from congested communities of the Atlantic coast to the interior of the United States. The Jewish Immigrants' Information Bureau directed the movement as a means of preventing an anticipated wave of anti-Semitism on the Eastern seaboard, which might lead to immigration restrictions. Several benevolent groups tried to find a southern port of entry to disperse the burgeoning population.
The bureau considered three ports. Charleston, South Carolina, explicitly wanted Anglo-Saxon immigrants, and New Orleans, a thriving urban center where Jews might be inclined to settle instead of moving on into the interior, posed a recurrent threat of yellow fever. Galveston, which was closer to job opportunities in the West, seemed the best choice. Besides its location, Galveston was a passenger port for Lloyds Shipping Company, which served the German port of Bremen, through which East European Jews traditionally left the continent. Also, Galveston's small size did not encourage large numbers of Jews to settle there permanently.
Groundwork for the Galveston Movement was shared by several Jewish organizations in America and Europe. Jacob Schiff presided over the "Galveston Committee" in New York City, which coordinated the recruiting efforts of the London-based Jewish Territorial Organization and the Jewish Emigration Society of Kiev with the reception and relocation activities of the Jewish Immigrants' Information Bureau, based in Galveston. David Bressler, honorary secretary of the JIIB, administered the program from his New York office.
The first refugees-fifty-four men and two women-arrived on the steamship Cassel in early July 1907. Two days before the ship docked, a warehouse remodeled as a reception center burned down, raising questions about the welcome likely to be afforded the newcomers. Mayor Henry Landes, however, spoke to the immigrants; a schoolteacher from southern Russia answered with a grateful speech on behalf of the group. Rabbi Henry Cohen of Temple B'nai Israel met almost all of the ships that carried Jewish immigrants and helped direct them to new homes in the interior.
The members of the first group were distributed among cities and communities throughout the western states and as far north as Fargo, North Dakota. The main territory to which the bureau directed immigrants was between the Mississippi River and the Rocky Mountains. Four of them settled in Fort Worth; none remained in Galveston, in keeping with the movement's policy. Despite the economic depression 900 immigrants passed through Galveston before the end of 1907. The following year only 106 came, and Jewish organizations worked hard to stimulate interest in absorbing the immigrants among the smaller communities across the United States. Within Texas the focus was on Tyler, Texarkana, Marshall, and Palestine, since the railroad fare from Galveston to these towns, at the half-priced charity rate, was only four or five dollars.
Recruiters stipulated that immigrants should be able-bodied laborers and skilled workers under the age of forty. The number of Hebrew teachers and kosher butchers was restricted in the belief that strict religious adherence would limit the immigrants' ability to work and be assimilated. Teachers were deemed unskilled, though some entered, as did others, on the pretense that their skills or training met job needs.
In 1909 a total of 773 Jews landed at Galveston, and by the following year 2,500 had sailed to the port, most originating in small towns. In 1911 some 1,400 arrived, only 2 percent of the total Jewish immigration to the United States in that year. By 1913 the situation had worsened; merchants became concerned about competition from immigrants, and an increasing number of immigrating Polish Jews who would not work on Saturday reduced the waning enthusiasm of American Jewish communities further. Three communities declined to take more; the representative from Cleburne, Texas, complained about the immigrants' "exactions, fault-finding, and refusal to abide by the labor conditions upon which they come."
Throughout the period of the Galveston Movement, its chances of success were handicapped by continual infighting among the cooperating organizations on both sides of the Atlantic, by the unfavorable condition of the American economy, and by the restrictive attitudes and behavior of Galveston immigration authorities. Further, European Jews did not recognize Texas and the Southwest as the America of their dreams; the area satisfied no religious or nationalistic expectations. Between 1907 and 1914, when it ceased operation, the Jewish Immigrants' Information Bureau brought 10,000 immigrants through Galveston, approximately one-third the number who migrated to the Holy Land during the same period. In 1983 a documentary film about the movement, West of Hester Street, was made with assistance of the Texas Committee for the Humanities.

Minka Kelly
We almost didn't want to write this slide, because damn Wilmer Valderrama for getting every girl in Hollywood. How does he do it? Willy Villie must have some kind of magic potion, because he's now dating Minka Kelly, who is a saint for moving on from Derek Jeter so effortlessly. She seems so down to earth -- even hanging with Wilmer's ex, Mandy Moore -- that we cringe at the fact that Minka and Lindsay Lohan now have something in common.

Finally, and most deservedly, Ron English has painted a mural on the famed Bowery and Houston wall, and its a good one. You know the history of the wall by now; Keith Haring, Os Gemeos, Shepard Fairey, Swoon, and Barry McGee are just a few of the names who have painted the wall, and Ron has added his touch with a Baby Hulk and an American Flag of corporate parodies. Great work Ron!

From a Pop-Sci article there's a case study on Ellsworth Bikes' self-powered factory.
"A geothermal system heats and cools the building, and electricity is provided by rooftop solar cells, which feed excess energy back into the local electricity grid to be credited at full retail value. "
With the bonus of, "… watching the electric meter run backward."
From Nuvinci's blog, we've got an assortment of CVT goodness, including an ATC NuVinci bike at le Tour ([video here](a spin in the mountains around Val dIsere.)) The Nuvinci also just won the R&D 100 award.
There's been a lot of buzz here (and elsewhere) about Stone Way. So, why should you care? Perhaps you're not a hard-core cyclist and simply enjoy a stroll with the family along the Burke-Gilman. Or maybe you're a roadie who can't stand to ride in-city. Maybe you don't even own a bike. Here's why you should care.
Cascade's Advocacy Organizer, Pat McGrath writes:
blockquote>Most people don't normally spend a lot of time thinking about the configuration of the roads on which they drive or walk. But the factors that you nevertheless register subconsciously " the width of the lanes, the layout of the sidewalk, the presence or absence of bicycle lanes " influence the way we live. For example, wide roads tend to induce speeding and more severe crashes. The presence of bicycle lanes has been linked to increased bicycle use and its attendant benefits. The length of crosswalks is positively correlated with your likelihood of being struck in one. These behaviors and factors take on a particular relevance when we consider their impact on issues like global warming, public health, the obesity epidemic, and personal safety. Roads literally shape our lives.
REMINDER: Today's Seattle Likes Bikes ride leaves tonight at 5:00 from Gasworks!!!
WHAT: A ride of enough cyclists in a loop thru lower Fremont at rush hour . This will be a legal ride, which means we ride two by two and obey all traffic laws.
WHY: The city has caved to pressure from businesses and developers and decided to go against the recommendations of the Bicycle Master Plan and leave a six-block gap in bike lanes between 34th & 40th on Stone Way N, leaving this vital corridor unsafe for cyclists.
If the city feels they can eliminate bicycle lanes as desired for commercial interests, no part of our bicycle network is safe! Read the Cascade Bicycle Club's excellent description of the situation here.
WHO: All cyclists who are concerned about responsible community-planning and preventing private interests from trumping public safety.
WHEN: Wednesday, August 1st, 2007. We'll meet up briefly at Gasworks Park at 4:30 (like now…oops, long day). Then we'll start riding around the following loop, counter-clockwise, following all traffic laws. If you can't make it until later just join in on the loop!

Big Gay Love
When reviewing indie gay film, you sometimes need to overlook the smaller flaws and try to find the passion that the writer/director had in creating his/her work. Sometimes it's hard to do that when an interesting and very valid topic is attacked by the over-the-top and illogical antics that the characters slather onto the story. This is the case with "Big Gay Love."
Ringo Le's film is about a "big" (read: a little overweight) guy named Bob (Jonathan Lisecki) who just wants to be loved. He's a party planner hoping to buy his first house, but his luck with the boys doesn't seem to be happening. It's possible that he's too self-deprecating.
It's possible he comes across too awkward and intense. But Bob just wallows in his very deep self-esteem pool while his super gay best friends Chase (Phong Truong) and Aidan (Todd Stroik) wade in the shallow end. They tell him he has nothing to worry about, but then again they are all ripped-bodied and own a lovely home. What do they have to worry about? (My first thought was -- get rid of these douchebags.) The two guys flit around like extras from a homophobic movie from the '70s where everything is all limp-wrists and big gasping expressions. You know, like drag queens.
Anyway, the chef of a party that Bob has put together for his singer friend Lana (Ina-Alice Kopp) inexplicably takes a fancy to him. Why? No idea. He gazes at him from across the room. Bob reacts nervously. The chef (named Andy and played flatly by Nicholas Brendan) just sort of looks away.
We don't know what about Bob appeals to him, and we actually never really find out. All they do is have dialogue-less montage dates that feel stolen from B-movies from the '80s (like "Rollerboogie"). We never see what brings them together. We do see that Bob is embarrassed about his weight and doesn't want Andy to touch him. He tries to work out with his two buddies, but he always makes it seem like too much effort. (Then, uh, it's kind of your own fault.)
Eventually, the two get naked and it's supposed to be great. But then Andy doesn't show up for an open house, and he never calls Bob to say why. This goes on for days. He finally confronts Andy, who replies that he did show up but he got there late. When Bob asks why he didn't write/text/email, Andy responds, "I had a lot on my mind." Or something like that. Really? Who's the bigger f**kup here, Bob or Andy?
The story basically follows Bob's self-esteem issues and how they keep messing up his relationship with Andy. People try to help but it's all surface advice from a self-help column, and this is the film's biggest flaw. There is a problem in the gay community with self image, and this was an amazing opportunity to really look at it with some dexterity. Instead, it becomes over-the-top and in desperate need of an editor to make the humor work. It also needed a lead couple that had more chemistry.
To be fair, there is something charming about Lisecki, and he has a great way with the self-deprecation and throw-away lines. Unfortunately, some of that is undone by editing that lets the joke sit so long that they become unfunny. Similarly, Brendan (of "Buffy" fame) doesn't have any chemistry here and comes across as almost borderline depressive. He has no vibrancy to him so besides being hunky in a lumberjack way; I'm not sure why Bob fell for him.
But that goes for any of the relationships in the film. None of them seem believable. Not Lana and Bob. Not Bob and Chase and Aiden. Not even Bob and his has-been mother Betty (Ann Walker) who seems like she just walked out of "Raising Hope."
There are a number of other issues, but they get overshadowed by characters you can't feel sorry for and situations that seem manipulated to create a scene. Despite Lisecki trying hard to make this film a go, this reviewer can't recommend it.

|Open management of the septic abdomen: therapeutic and prognostic considerations based on APACHE II.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 2721209 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|We analyzed the results of open treatment in 30 patients with abdominal sepsis (11 patients after trauma [group 1], five patients with pancreatic abscess [group 2], and 14 patients with acute GI pathology [group 3]) uncontrolled by conventional methods as evidenced by continuing fever with leukocytosis and worsening organ functions. APACHE scores at the time of initial laparotomy and at the time of open management, respectively, were: group 1, 19.8 and 16.6; group 2, 8.4 and 12.4; and group 3, 14.2 and 15.0. Twenty-seven patients had multiple system failure. Sixteen (53%) of the 30 patients survived, 73% in group 1, 60% in group 2, and 36% in group 3. Survival correlated well with age less than 50 yr and the absence of multiple organ failure. The technique was easily performed and many of the pitfalls previously reported were not observed. In patients requiring fascial prosthesis, the absorbable polyglycol acid (Dexon) mesh was found to be superior to the nonabsorbable polypropylene. We conclude that the open technique is feasible, effective, and worthy of consideration in patients with extensive wound necrosis and uncontrolled abdominal sepsis.

(UPDATED) Stanley Kubrick faked the Apollo 11 moon landing. The Newtown massacre and Boston Marathon bombings were "false flag" government conspiracies designed to take away our guns.

"I believe he's not guilty."
"Are you sure?"
"No, but I have a reasonable doubt."
The last words spoken in David Mamet's HBO feature film "Phil Spector" are "reasonable doubt." The first words appear in white letters on a black screen:
This is a work of fiction. It's not "based on a true story." ... It is a drama inspired by actual persons on a trial, but it is neither an attempt to depict the actual persons, nor to comment upon the trial or its outcome.
I'm not quite sure what that means (beyond "Don't sue us") -- but it sounds a little like one of Mamet's nonsensical latter-day post-right-wing conversion rants. (Read Mamet's 2008 Village Voice essay, "Why I Am No Longer a 'Brain-Dead Liberal'" and see if you can figure out how he went from an unthinking, ignorant knee-jerk lefty to an unthinking, ignorant knee-jerk conservative. It has something to do with NPR, but what was he listening to? "Car Talk"? He doesn't say -- only that he believes in choosing one's political positions and convictions the way you would choose a sports team to root for, based on your affection for a place and whatever colors you feel are the most flattering this season.)
But what really matters is the Muriels. You know, that time-honored annual movie award that is not named after Bette Davis's Uncle Oscar, but after co-founder Paul Clark's guinea pig. Throughout the month of February (the 6th through the 23rd), the winners have been announced, as you know because you've been regularly clicking on the Muriels link right here on Scanners. Anyway, you know what "Argo" can do; the Muriel voters, on the other hand, chose to give the year's top prize to what, for me, was obviously the most rewarding movie experience of the year: Leos Carax's "Holy Motors."
Another brawl in the square Another stink in the air! Was there a witness to this? Well, let him speak to Javert! -- Javert, a character in the musical "Les Misérables"
I was an eyewitness to "Les Misérables."
After repeated exposure to that dreadful theatrical trailer-cum-featurette about how the singing is all done live on camera! -- It's live! It's Live! IT'S LIVE! -- I had no intention of seeing Tom "The King's Speech" Hooper's film version of the 1980s stage musical. But when it finally came out, some of the reviews were so bad that part of me wanted to see what the stink was all about. Still, I'm not a masochist; I don't enjoy going to movies I know I'm probably predisposed to dislike just so I can dump on them. On the other hand, there's nothing better than having your low expectations upended. I did enjoy that Susan Boyle YouTube video back in 2009, but that was all I knew about the musical. I remained curious but skeptical. And then ...

Near the end of her remarkable Golden Globes speech, a monologue overflowing with teasing language and sly pop-culture references, actor-director Jodie Foster mentioned a dog whistle. Although she sometimes seemed to be speaking extemporaneously, while also incorporating pre-crafted phrases designed to say exactly what she intended to say (and, equally important, what she had no intention of saying), I thought the message, addressed primarily to those who have pressured her to publicly acknowledge her lesbianism for so many years, was clear and unambiguous -- except for the parts she deliberately wanted to leave ambiguous. And it's pretty much the same message she's been repeating since she was in college:
I value my privacy. Everything about being a performer makes it difficult to protect and maintain that privacy. I've been pressured to talk about my private life as a woman, formerly in a same-sex relationship with Cydney Bernard, who is raising two sons. And this is as much of a public "coming out" statement as you're going to get from me.
Quentin Tarantino has found his actor in Christoph Waltz -- someone who can speak Tarantinian fluently and still make it his own. When Waltz uses a self-consciously ostentatious word like "ascertain" (as in, "I was simply trying to ascertain..." -- the kind of verbiage QT is as likely to put in the mouth of a lowlife crook as a German dentist, or a Francophile plantation slavemaster, for that matter), it sounds right. As someone to whom Tarantino's dialog often sounds cliche-ridden and cutesy, it's a pleasure to hear Waltz saying the words in character rather than simply as a mouthpiece for the writer-director.
Oh, stop. This isn't sounding the way I want it to.
"As a country, we have been through this too many times..." -- President Obama, December 14, 2012
It was a busy week of business-as-usual in the USA:
Tuesday, December 11: A man killed three people (including himself) and wounded another in shootings at the Clackamas Mall in Portland, OR.
At the heart of Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln" is a quiet scene between President Abraham Lincoln (Daniel Day-Lewis) and two young men, Samuel Beckwith (Adam Driver) and David Homer Bates (Drew Sease), in an otherwise empty telegraph cipher office. Lincoln has to make a crucial decision: Does he consider a peace proposal from a Confederate delegation on its way to Washington, and thus perhaps immediately end the bloody Civil War that has claimed the lives of more than half a million Americans, knowing that it would doom his attempt to pass the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution, officially banning slavery in the United States? Or does he try to legally solidify and extend his Emancipation Proclamation by getting the Thirteenth Amendment passed during a narrow window of opportunity (during the lame duck session of Congress between his re-election and second inauguration) at the cost of extending the war?
First off, I agree with Angus T. Jones -- well, about one thing, at least. The child actor of whose existence I hadn't been aware until a few days ago said on digital video that he was employed on a lousy sitcom that was basically "filth." Who's going to argue? Really, is he wrong? Have you ever seen Two and a Half Men? (I admit I've only witnessed bits and pieces, but that was enough to get the tenor of the show. And I knew there was a "half" involved -- the title tells me so -- but I didn't know Jones was it.) So, the young man says this:
Writer-director-producer David Simon (creator of "The Wire," "Generation Kill," "Treme") has a piece at Salon headlined: "Media's sex obsession is dangerous, destructive," in which he eviscerates Roger Simon (no relation) for his Politico column, "Gen. David Petraeus is dumb, she's dumber." And The Week offers a round-up of trashy "journalistic" misbehavior, " The David Petraeus affair: Why the media's coverage is sexist." I don't know. "Sexist" seems like an understatement. Puerile, snotty, crass, raunchy, snide, scary, onanistic, stupid, instructive, pointless -- it's all those things, too. At the very least.

Communication and Collaboration
We Hope to Have Recommendation to Provost Next Week
Thursday, Mar. 29, 2012
This week we reviewed our experiences with the Microsoft Sharepoint and Google Apps "sandboxes." These were SCU specific sites that let us try the features from both vendors.
We are also progressing with the request from the Provost around cost/benefits/risks analysis across both vendors. The IT and Information Services people have had to shoulder most of this burden as we look at actual dollar costs, training hours, implementation strategies, and the like.
Thank you to all who have given us comments throughout this process. This is much more than a technology tool decision. It is a decision about our work environment and practices.
Many of you are already involved in work that takes place in the cloud rather than on a desktop. I hope you see yourself as part of the transition team and will help us provide demonstrations as we discover new ways of collaborating.

St. Louis, MO (KSDK) -A 24-year-old man died in a crash in downtown St. Louis that may have been caused by street racing.
Police said witnesses saw the victim driving southbound on North Broadway at a high rate of speed around 11:55 p.m. He lost control of the vehicle and hit a concreted pillar.
Michael Boone died at the scene.
Investigators at the scene told NewsChannel 5 it could be connected to street racing in the area; however, the department's official report does not include that information.

Friday the 13th Remake Director & Release DateMeh
We caught up with Andrew Form and Brad Fuller to beat them around about the upcoming Friday the 13th Remake. Ok yeah we didnt beat em around but we did get some answers. First and foremost is when we can expect to see the remake. According to the pair we can probably expect to see it sometime in November / December of 2008. That all said and done their is no script, and without that you cant really do much.
Right now they do not have a director, but the wierd part is right after telling us they dont have a director they said that Jonathon Liebesmen ( director of Texas Chainsaw Remake ) is attached. The reason there is some doubt on whether or not Jonathon will direct is because according to Brad and Andrew Jonathon is a very busy guy, and he may have a conflicty. Quote:
But it really depends on his schedule. He's got a lot of things rolling around right now. So, if he's available when we have a script, we'd love to work with him again. We had a great experience with him.
Stay tuned, as always we will keep you up to date on all the latest as we get it!

The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package.

As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

iHerb Customer Reviews
I had ordered this product from the NuNaturals website several times before and loved it. I then ordered it from iHerb in February 2013 because of iHerb's great price. The texture was a bit different but it was just as good. In fact, it was easier to shake/pour. I re-ordered the exact same product from iHerb again in December 2013 and it's terrible! It's basically worthless. There's almost zero sweetness and it has a slightly weird aftertaste. I contacted iHerb via their chat option and the customer service rep said I should contact the manuafacturer. I then went to NuNaturals and left a message on their contact page/form and am waiting to hear back from them. I'd recommend not ordering this product until you're sure they've got this problem worked out.
I have tried stevia from several different distributors and yours is the best I have tried so far, DONT CHANGE ANYTHING, I'll be your customer until Jesus comes :)

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ Secretary of State Kris Kobach is expected to discuss the Kansas Legislature's ongoing stalemate over political redistricting before lawmakers reconvene to wrap up business for the year.
Kobach has scheduled a Monday morning news conference to discuss the end of this year's 90-day legislative session. Lawmakers return Wednesday from their annual spring break, and their wrap-up could continue through early May.
Legislators must redraw state House, state Senate and congressional districts to account for changes in how the state's
population has shifted over the past decade. But no proposal has
passed both chambers.
Kobach, the state's chief elections official, already has warned
that if redistricting issues aren't settled quickly enough, the
state will have to push back its June 1 candidate filing deadline.

The secrecy around the operation was partly because the president's strategists wanted to maintain their competitive edge. But it was also no doubt because they worried that practices like "data mining" and "analytics" could make voters uncomfortable.
On 6/20/13, the New York Times published a lengthy article: Data You Can Believe In: The Obama Campaign's Digital Masterminds Cash In
A friend emailed the link to me with these observations:
It was not the lack of "Hispanic" votes for Romney. It was not even Mitt not getting his base out, because of his lack of aggressiveness in campaigning, and the Alinskyite attacks on him. Those were factors.
But, the main factor was a high-tech campaign never seen before, utilizing the knowledge and databases of Barry's commercial cyber spy supporters. That is what enabled a failed president to get out the vote from the no information voters in unprecedented high percentages.
And what occurs to me is that the monitoring of Americans' meta-data, which resulted in no verifiable security advantages, filtered over into a high-tech campaign, which enabled a second disastrous term for Barry.
I didn't really want to wade through all of it, until I happend to skim something towards the end which is absolutely chilling:
He said his work at A.M.G. would also help provide the Democratic Party with even better tools three years from now, when he and his colleagues say they want to be involved in 2016. "We're going to bring it home," McLean said.
Flash back to 2008:
But even before the president took office, as the economy was in meltdown, his strategists, looking ahead four years, assumed that his re-election would not be easy. Wagner was assigned to the Democratic National Committee headquarters, where he set out to develop a far more sophisticated version of his analytics system, using bigger computer servers, better data on the nation's voting-age population and more precise algorithms.
Flash forward to October, 2012:
A couple of weeks before Election Day, over drinks at the Pump Room in Chicago's Gold Coast, a safe distance away from the re-election headquarters and its press minders, Grisolano and Erik Smith first let on that there was far more happening in the Chicago campaign office than any of us covering it truly understood. Grisolano told me that the campaign literally knew every single wavering voter in the country that it needed to persuade to vote for Obama, by name, address, race, sex and income. What's more, he hinted, the campaign had figured out how to get its television advertisements in front of them with a previously inconceivable level of knowledge and accuracy.
As for television and demographic segmentation, Romney's team thought trying to reach all the "left-handed Lithuanians" before everyone even knew who Romney was, would be fruitless.
It is not that the Romney campaign was unaware such technology could be developed. Rentrak, a nonpartisan vendor, reached out to offer its services in the spring of 2012 but found no takers. The former Bush strategist Sara Fagen worked with the Romney consulting firm TargetPoint to develop a competing optimizing service, but, she said, the media team "chose not to use it."
The rest of the article details the pros and cons of leaving politics and government for the private sector and the idealism found (and lost) in changing the world:
Frommann told me that in 2010, shortly after college, he joined the Social Security Administration. Within a year, he had helped develop a new system that, he said, would have saved the administration as much as $1 billion a year. Just as his idea was gaining traction, his entire unit was disbanded, the ostensible result of budget cuts but also, he surmised, bureaucratic infighting.
You won't be a bit surprised to read that it is the Republican-held House of Representatives that is the real source of angst for the whiz-kids of Washington:
But for now, he does not seem to miss Washington. "I respect everybody who's working for the president — right? They're incredible kids — incredible people — but you have a limited movement, because you're hamstrung; the House is the House," he said.
Like I said, this is absolutely chilling:
He said his work at A.M.G. would also help provide the Democratic Party with even better tools three years from now, when he and his colleagues say they want to be involved in 2016. "We're going to bring it home," McLean said.
