Special Report
Little Saigon Eyes Kerry
Vietnamese Americans have little use for the senator who continues to subvert human rights in Vietnam.
DATELINE: SAIGON -- Little Saigon that is. In the largest Vietnamese enclave outside of Vietnam they remember the Vietnam War as the American War. Spanning the three Orange County, California cities of Westminster, Garden Grove and Santa Ana, the residents of this communist-free (by legislation) stronghold have little use for War Hero candidate John Kerry. Chock full of beauty schools, cafes, and ubiquitous Pho restaurants (the classic Vietnamese soup), the pre-communist national flag proudly waves next to the Stars and Stripes above the Veterans memorial at Westminster City Hall.
In "America's Most Republican County" (350 elected officials; registration 48.5% Rep./30.6% Dem.) Senator Kerry is considered a traitor to the Vietnamese cause. His anti-war antics that helped launch a thousand boats, coupled with his shelving of the 2001 Vietnam Human Rights Act (a litmus test for a majority of Vietnamese no matter what party), gives President Bush a golden opportunity to woo an often overlooked minority voting block.
"Kerry's action burned bridges nationwide" within the Vietnamese community, according to Garden Grove councilman and Republican California State Assembly candidate Van Tran. Sponsored in the House by Christopher Smith and co-sponsored by the unlikely bipartisan duo of Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) and Loretta Sanchez (D-CA, whose district crosses into Little Saigon), the human rights act passed by a margin of 410-1. Kerry, then ranking member of the Senate subcommittee on East Asian and Pacific Affairs, did not allow the legislation to come to the floor for a vote.
TRAN, A VIETNAMESE-AMERICAN, is readying for a cross-country trip to New York City as a first time delegate to the Republican National Convention. He told this writer that he had taken advantage of this year's option of registering as a GOP delegate via the Internet. Elected to the Garden Grove City Council with more votes than any other candidate in city history, Tran also picked up the Republican nomination for State Assembly with a 2-1 edge (66% to 33%) over fellow Councilman Mark Leyes. He is also a member of Rep. Ed Royce's Asian Pacific Congressional Advisory Board.
For those of us who have been content to let the bad dream of the Vietnam War fade into national unconsciousness (until the Kerry campaign), the strength of the battles still going on in our midst may seem surprising. In early 1999, Truong Van Tran (no relation) placed a picture of Ho Chi Minh and the communist Vietnamese flag in the window of his video store in the Westminster portion of Little Saigon. Seven weeks of subsequent protest garnered national attention and culminated in Truong's arrest for pirating Vietnamese soap operas. This event was a turning point in the political participation of the locals. After serving as a liaison between the community and the Westminster police, Van Tran decided to make a run for city council in his neighboring hometown of Garden Grove.
"It is intriguing about this election that Vietnam is coming in to play," Tran muses. "Vietnamese-Americans haven't forgotten John Kerry's anti-war stance. It would not be too much to say there is some hatred for him in the community." With a population of over a million in the U.S., and almost half of that in California, this sizable and vocal minority voting block may have some resonance during this election cycle.
Lan Quoc Nguyen, the first Vietnamese-American to be elected to a local school board in California (Garden Grove, nach), has a more "nuanced" view of his struggles with Kerry. "Senator Kerry is a deeply principled man that believes that the war was wrong," he says, "and he's trying to undo the damage that the U.S. did to the country." That doesn't mean that Nguyen believes that Kerry is right, or that Kerry is listening to the Vietnamese community. "It is difficult to approach him. Anyone who gets in his way is viewed as a leftover from the Southern regime."
Nguyen believes that the war was wrong in the way that it was fought, not in its intent. He says that the war cause was just, and that the actions of the North afterwards demonstrate that. "We fought to prevent what actually happened. Senator Kerry has ignored the aftermath of the war, the wholesale persecution in the south, the tragedies and the torture.
"In the south, we accepted the fact that we lost. The communist government did not forget that it won. It did not reconcile with the south. It cracked down with a vengeance on all who were involved, including the religious organizations. This never registered in any part of Kerry's policy."
AS FOR KERRY'S HANDLING of the 2001 Vietnam Human Rights Act, Nguyen says it further emboldened the communist government. "We accept democratic debate. We won almost unanimously in the House. When Kerry used his influence to squash the bill in the Senate, it was like he was thumbing his nose at us and making a mockery of the process." He says that the communist government has used Senator Kerry to make a point at home. "They make fun of America and its 'process.' They know that all they need to do is get one Senator to get what they want."
Nguyen says that the government has used the bill's defeat to enact a new crackdown on religious freedom in Vietnam. On the street in Little Saigon, people take a blunter view, and refer to Kerry as a communist sympathizer. To make it even more interesting, the community doesn't hold all its ire for Kerry. Although John McCain wasn't technically linked to Kerry or the legislation, locals suspect that he had a role in its fate, and want him to fess up.
Councilman Van Tran is grateful for the opportunity to represent Little Saigon and the greater Vietnamese-American community at the convention. He considers his life to be a classic American success story. Emigrating with his parents at age 10 from Saigon, Tran went on to get a B.A. in Political Science from the UC Irvine, and then went on to earn both a Master's in Public Administration and a Juris Doctorate from Hamline University School of Law in Saint Paul, Minnesota. He has served as a staff aide to Rep. Bob Dornan and then-State Senator (now Congressman) Ed Royce, as well as other political posts. "America offers to immigrants a life of hope and opportunity, and nourishes our aspirations to be something better."
Tran, along with Nguyen, has worked intensely within the Vietnamese community to encourage people to participate in the electoral process. Earlier this year in anticipation of his assembly race, Tran registered 4,000 new Republicans through his Vietnamese-American Voters Coalition, including 1,000 existing voters that switched parties to vote in the primary. With an Eastern Seaboard group sponsoring a fundraiser this month in Philadelphia for his California race, Tran is taking-in talk of his being a future national figure. "There is talk about that circulating, but one step at a time."
THE LATEST NEWS OUT OF Little Saigon was the passing of two ordinances in May of this year, one each in Westminster and Garden Grove, which declared both cities "communist-free zones." The communist Vietnamese government had been planning a charm mission to Little Saigon (as well as other expat communities), to promote "Resolution 36," which seeks to define the government's relationship with those communities. The resolution, passed in March defines the Diaspora as inferior to the homeland, and requires it to support the current regime for its ultimate success (in other words, "send us your money"). The mission was subsequently scrubbed, at least in Orange County. Since then a number of other communities have enacted similar communist-free zoning acts.
With John Kerry and the Swift-Vets moving Vietnam to the front burner of public debate, discussion of the new version of the Vietnam Human Rights Act could attract some unwanted attention; and bring further trouble to Senator Kerry. Reintroduced in April of 2003 as H.R. 1587, the measure passed the house 323-45 on July 19 of this year, again co-sponsored by Rohrabacher and Sanchez. This time Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Sen. Sam Brownback, who is also chairman of the Sub-Committee on East Asian and Pacific Affairs, is sponsoring the bill in the upper chamber. The bill is more than likely to reach the Senate floor.
Lan Quoc Nguyen says that he is preparing for the worst. "We are resigned to the fact that if Kerry is elected, our cause will be set back 20 years. Our efforts will be doomed until he's out of office."
According to Van Tran, the Vietnamese-American community is "strong on national defense, strong on family values, and strongly religious," a natural Republican group. It opposes Kerry's quest for normalization of government relations with Vietnam until the government provides answers about missing family members, prisoners of war, and a commitment to basic human rights.
In Little Saigon they've been talking about the War for thirty years. If John Kerry wants to talk about the war, they would like to talk to him about it too. After all, they were there.

The saga continues... I plugged my laptop into power, external keyboard, and external monitor this morning... ding, ding, ding! swoosh swoosh swoosh! I grabbed my iphone to document the experience on camera, but it stopped by itself after about 10 dings. This was the first time I had the experience not using headphones or iSight, but just doing what I do every single workday.

As a PC user, a 30 year veteran of IT (Information Technology), one who understands how actual computers work, and the husband of an Apple user (Macbook Pro, Ipod, Ipad and Iphone), I'm struck by the fact that not a single "genius" (an obvious and sad marketing term) has chimed in here with the answer to this issue. This is not from Kathy but Kathy's husband, Richard.

Nice dramatic tone to your post, but no need for that. Apple employees are allowed to participate here, but on personal title and not allowed to tell they work for Apple. If this issue was solvable by a Genius, I guarantee you it would have been solved by now. But they don't know either. You can't just replicate the issue, so no way of investigating it. I think only a programmer can solve it, unless it's a conflict with a third party plug-in or pref pane we've all got installed (Flash or WMV fx).
Also some Apple employees have this issue themselves, I know this from personal experience. ;-)

i am also experiancing the same thing... i am running 10.8.4 and use mac mail app.... when i wake my macbookair it sounds as if i am sending and receiving multiple emails... but when i check the activity window there is no activity? is it emails that have been sent and recieived on other machines via my .me account? ie: my iphone or my ipad or other laptop? would love to find a way to stop the noise....

I've had this issue going on for some time now. It made me paranoid enough to always (except for this afternoon) shutdown my iMac when I am not using it. I'll add that I do not use iCal. I do not have an iPhone. I do not use Mail: I use Outlook for Mac. I do have several gmail accounts.
Most bothersome is that in addition to the swooshing and dinging sounds of outgoing and inbound mail, I also occasionally have several SCREEN SHOT sounds intermixed with these other sounds. As I mentioned, it makes me a bit paranoid that someone can highjack my iMac. But we all know that no one would ever do that would they (sarcasm).

I also get the sounds of SCREEN SHOTS. I already added that to a new post, but thought I'd reply to you as well.

Still no cure, but the numbers show widespread interest in the strange happening that puzzles us.
I have gone a couple months without the "Phantom Swoosh"... until a few minutes ago...
The odd thing is that there were two e-mails arriving, both replies to this thread, and I got the incoming sound followed by the familiar "outgoing" sound. Yet nothing was going out and nothing showing up in Sent.
Strange... weird... spooky...

Finally! Now I think I can provide a good clue! Can it have something to do with USB sound management???
I have a set of USB loudspeakers connected to a USB hub at the office. The Time Machine back-up hard drive is also connected to the hub.
When I arrive at the office I connect my MacBook Pro to an external screen, the ethernet and power. And to the hub. It is when I do this that the wooshing and beeping as if mail is sent and checked has been appearing. However, it does not happen every time but the problem keeps coming and going.
Well today something happened that may be an important clue. I realized that the sound was not coming out of the uSB speakers but from the internal loudspeaker in the MacBook Pro. So I went into the sound settings and selected the USB speaker. And then the whooshing and beeping started for almost one minute. So it is likely that the problem is something to do with how USB sound is managed by the USB sound driver.
The loudspeakers are called JS (Jazz Hipster Corporation) model J-1116U. The company site is http://jazzspeakers.english.eyp.com.tw/eyp/front/bin/home.phtml but I can not find the product there. I found a picture on a French site http://www.materiel.net/haut-parleurs/jazz-speakers-j1116u-black-14386.html . It could be that these loudspeakers are the problem for the driver, but perhaps others have other USB sound devices that can trigger the sounds. Then it could be a software problem in the USB sound driver.
Perhaps this can help someone at Apple. Would appreciate if anyone (developer?) who follows this thread and is in contact with Apple on this issue could forward this information.
Best regards,

Well, I have to reply to myself. My colleague who does not use a USB sound device today got the sounds when plugging in her iPhone headset into the sound out port of her mid 2012 Macbook Air. It was the first time she heard the sound. She seldomly uses the port this way.
So the sounds are not only USB-oriented.

An update - now running 10.7.5 - and I've only heard it once since my July 2013 post. Certainly nowhere near the frequency when I was having the issues prior to that, when it would occur almost daily.
Perhaps when people post they can add their system version and any conenctions - maybe we can see a common variable. At the moment, reading through all the posts, it's too difficult to pinpoint any possible leads on this as there's not enought infomration - only "me too".....
I do not nor have not used USB for any sound management. I do use a second screen via Thunderbolt. I have USB external HD's, no USB hub and use WIFI (no ethernet). Nothing is plugged into the headphone jack. I use Mac Mail only - so no outlook or gmail.
I also run several macs and it's only the MacBook Pro that this has ever occured on - even though the other macs are running various OS (some newer, some older) and are all put to sleep daily.
One thing that should be double checked - has anyone actually checked mail server logs to verify no mail is being sent?
tomgoosmann Sep 18, 2013 3:36 PM
in response to camjross
Checking mail logs was my first response, since when it first occurred all I imagined was a successful virus using my computer as a spam engine. But I've never seen any evidence of outgoing mail.
This has now happened so often, though without regularity, that I've chalked it up as a benign event not worth worrying about. I've seen it happen plugging in headphones, turning on iSight, plugging in a thunderbolt external monitor, and even simply launching a quicktime video. Each time I've I scrambled to record the event so the naysayers can see what we're talking about. But like witnessing an accident, who's ever ready with a recorder?
MacBook Pro, latest OS, nothing special. External monitor is an Apple Cinema Display.
cwebber1 Sep 19, 2013 11:16 AM

Perhaps there is more than one?
I have a new, and fairly basic system (MacBook Air). No hardware installed or attached.
Yesterday morning, I got about a 10 dings and 10 whooshes. My computer was on overnight, but perhps in a semi-sleep mode. The alerts came as I started using my machine (FaceTime in this particular instance).
I'm sure iCal was open, as was Mail. I rarely quit these applications.
iCal: I like the theory that iCal has something to do with it. I share (publish) one of my calendars to another person -- read only. I also read subscribe to another calendar (read only).
Mail Rules: It just struck me today, that perhaps the processing of Mail Rules might be the culprit (of one of them). I have rules that move incoming mail out of my inbox immediately. I have another rule that takes other email out of the inbox after 15 days. Could the Rules be causing the alerts?
I did go to the Genius Bar. Nobody there had heard of the problem. In their defense, this issue does not appear to cause loss of function or loss of data (just annoying). There are bigger problems that rightly deserve more of their focus. I'm sure they prioritze their work, just like you and do at our jobs.
The posts on this thread have convinced me that this is not a virus, so I'll patiently wait for this issue to quietly go away some day.

I have to jump back in! Today, as we were prepping for a presentation at my agency, an account person with a MacBook Air, with Mail running, went to broadcast our Keynote on Apple TV (do I sound like a commercial yet?) and when she typed in the authorization code, ding! Swoosh Swoosh! ding!... I laughed and told everyone about this string. BUT what happened next surprised me. It didn't stop. I said, no worries, it will quit in 10 or so swooshes. But we kept on with the presentation and it continued unabated for ten minutes, before I finally told her to quit Mail and that stopped it. No usb, no headphones, no video. Just an authentication code to Apple TV.
Two other people around the table said they'd experienced the same thing but didn't think to search forum for the problem... It's an epidemic!

Replying to my own message! I slapped my PowerBook closed when my wife came home and just now re-opened it.... Ding! Ding! Ding! Swoosh Swoosh Swoosh! and so on for about 15 cycles. Nothing connecting! Nothing plugged in! Suck on that Geniuses!
Sivano Sep 25, 2013 5:44 AM

Happens to me too. In fact, it's happened ever since I upgraded from an old 2006 Powerbook to my rMBP.
I don't have anything new to add, just keeping the thread alive and noting that I experience it too.

This Tuesday marks the one year anniversary of Osama Bin Laden's assassination and what President Barack Obama called, "the most significant achievement to date" in the war against al-Qaeda. Killed by U.S. forces in Abbottabad, Pakistan after a decade-long search, bin Laden's death is undoubtedly an important American achievement.
But aside from serving as a platform for President Obama's reelection campaign, bin Laden's assassination has had little effect on either ending the war in Afghanistan or bringing America's Pakistani "allies" into line.
Osama bin Laden (Photo: AP)
In addition, despite bin Laden being found less than a mile from its premier military academy, Pakistan is still host to America's greatest enemies, including current al-Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahiri, Afghan insurgent leaders Sirajuddin Haqqani and Mullah Mohammad Omar, and Pakistani Islamist leader Hafiz Saeed. Worse yet, Pakistan's tolerance of Islamic extremist terrorist organizations such as the Haqqani network -- responsible for recent deadly attacks against Kabul -- critically compromises a successful U.S. and ally withdrawal in 2014.
One year after bin Laden's death, the war in Afghanistan persists, al-Qaeda and the Taliban's resilience endures, and anti-American sentiments throughout Afghanistan and Pakistan continue to escalate. While the world is no doubt safer without bin Laden, his radical, Islamist extremist, anti-Western philosophy lives on. In holding steadfast to deadlines in spite of this, the Obama administration is creating the conditions for a power vacuum that would allow opportunists to exploit Afghanistan's fragility as a newly autonomous state.

Parallel CommentariesMatthew Henry's Concise Commentary
3:18-23 To have a high opinion of our own wisdom, is but to flatter ourselves; and self-flattery is the next step to self-deceit. The wisdom that wordly men esteem, is foolishness with God. How justly does he despise, and how easily can he baffle and confound it! The thoughts of the wisest men in the world, have vanity, weakness, and folly in them. All this should teach us to be humble, and make us willing to be taught of God, so as not to be led away, by pretences to human wisdom and skill, from the simple truths revealed by Christ. Mankind are very apt to oppose the design of the mercies of God. Observe the spiritual riches of a true believer; All are yours, even ministers and ordinances. Nay, the world itself is yours. Saints have as much of it as Infinite Wisdom sees fit for them, and they have it with the Divine blessing. Life is yours, that you may have a season and opportunity to prepare for the life of heaven; and death is yours, that you may go to the possession of it. It is the kind messenger to take you from sin and sorrow, and to guide you to your Father's house. Things present are yours, for your support on the road; things to come are yours, to delight you for ever at your journey's end. If we belong to Christ, and are true to him, all good belongs to us, and is sure to us. Believers are the subjects of his kingdom. He is Lord over us, we must own his dominion, and cheerfully submit to his command. God in Christ, reconciling a sinful world to himself, and pouring the riches of his grace on a reconciled world, is the sum and substance of the gospel.
Pulpit Commentary
Verse 21. - Wherefore. St. Paul, with this word, concludes the argument of warning of the previous section, as in 1 Corinthians 3:7; 1 Corinthians 4:5; 8:38; 11:33; 14:39; 15:58 (Wordsworth). All things are yours. It is always a tendency of Christians to underrate the grandeur of their privileges by exaggerating their supposed monopoly of some of them, while many equally rich advantages are at their disposal. Instead of becoming partisans of special teachers, and champions of separate doctrines, they might enjoy all that was good in the doctrine of all teachers, whether they were prophets, or pastors, or evangelists (Ephesians 4:11, 12). The true God gives us all things richly to enjoy (1 Timothy 6:17).
Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible
Therefore let no man glory in men,.... The apostle means ministers, who are but men, even the best of them, and therefore not to be gloried in; and has chiefly respect to the false teachers, whose wisdom, learning, and eloquence, the Corinthians were greatly taken with, and boasted of; it was so ensnaring to them, that they even idolized them for it, called them their masters, pinned their faith on their sleeve, gave up themselves to them, and were greatly under their authority, influence, and direction, which is here condemned; and which was so far from being right, that they ought not to behave in such manner to the best of ministers, nor to glory in anyone above another; no, not in Paul, nor Apollos, nor Cephas;
for all things are yours; all the ministers, and all they are endowed with; these were all for their use and service, for their benefit and advantage; wherefore it was very wrong to set up one above, or against another, or for any party to engross anyone minister, when he belonged to them all; and great weakness to reject others, when they had a common right and property in them.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
21. let no man glory in men—resuming the subject from 1Co 3:4; compare 1Co 1:12, 31, where the true object of glorying is stated: "He that glorieth, let him glory in THE Lord." Also 1Co 4:6, "That no one of you be puffed up for one against another."
For all things—not only all men. For you to glory thus in men, is lowering yourselves from your high position as heirs of all things. All men (including your teachers) belong to Christ, and therefore to you, by your union with Him; He makes them and all things work together for your good (Ro 8:28). Ye are not for the sake of them, but they for the sake of you (2Co 4:5, 15). They belong to you, not you to them.
1 Corinthians 3:21 Additional Commentaries
Worldly Wisdom is Foolishness to God
…20and again, "THE LORD KNOWS THE REASONINGS of the wise, THAT THEY ARE USELESS." 21So then let no one boast in men. For all things belong to you, 22whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or things present or things to come; all things belong to you,…

Today, Wednesday 15 August, I heard the news that my godbrother and friend Vrsa dasa had passed away here in Perth, Australia on Monday 6th Aug. at 8.30am. His private funeral was held last Friday.
I grew up "in Krishna Consciousnesss", as we devotees say, with Vrsa. We cooked together, performed temple worship together, visited India together, got hepatitis together, learned Sanskrit verses together, before our paths separated in the eighties.
We met up again at the Prabhupada Disciple Reunion that I organised in Melbourne, 1992. Vrsa is pictured, above, second from the right, top row.
We drifted apart, then our lives overlapped again after I moved to Perth in 1999. By then Vrsa was immersed in his studies and I saw him two or three times a year, at festivals like Perth Rathayatra and big temple feasts.
Even in the midst of much ill-health in the last few years, Vrsa never lost his keen and slightly off-beat, cynical sense of humour.
A few months ago, before the effects of his bone marrow cancer became pernicious, Vrsa prabhu wrote his own memoriam, his life story in a nutshell if you wish, starting, significantly, with his meeting the devotees and then Srila Prabhupada. Allow me to share it with you.
Vrsa dasa, (Dr Wayne G. Moredoundt PhD, Curtin)
"I joined the movement full-time in Melbourne, just before the first Australian Rathayatra, in Winter 1972, having travelled (hitch-hiked) from Perth with three friends. They also moved into the ashram, later taking the initiated names of Ganesa das, Atri dasi and Stradisha dasi. We four had been sharing a house at a Perth beachside location and, for some months, had been following the 'regulative principles' and chanting 16 rounds of japa a day.
I had been aware of Iskcon for a few years before this time, and had chanted the Mahmantra sporadically (under the influence of the Beat poet, Alan Ginsberg) from around 1966-67. Seeing the devotees on the streets of Sydney, and attending my first Sunday feast, in September 1970, had provided further inspiration.
I was initiated by Srila Prabhupada at the beginning of 1973, as one of a large group of new bhaktas, in a ceremony in the backyard of the old Sydney (Hereford Street, Glebe) temple. Others initiated at the time included: Ganesa and Sukla (initiated a few days earlier, in Melbourne) plus Balarama, Gaura Mandala Bhumi, Parambrahma, Somendranath (2nd), Stradisha, Atri, Gopikanta, Ramaprasad, Rukmavati, Gopal, Kamarupa, and others, whose names I cannot remember now.
I served in Sydney 1973-75 (Double Bay, Bellevue Hill, Drummoyne, Alexandria), then in Melbourne (Burnett Street, St Kilda), where I helped renovate the (then newly purchased) Danks Street property. From 1977, I was at the Sydney temple (Buckingham Street, Surrey Hills); in 1978, I relocated to the newly-purchased Colo River farm (Bhaktivedanta Ashram); in 1984, I lived a few months at ISKCON Auckland; then to New Govardhana (late 1984), where I became headmaster of the gurukula; and returned to Sydney at the end of 1988."
(Vrsa is pictured above being interviewed by Bruce Redman from Channel 9 on the set of 'The Krishna Kids', New Govardhana Farm)
"In 1989, I studied law; in 1990, philosophy; both courses taught through the University of Sydney. In 1991, I commenced a B.A. at the University of Sydney, with a double major in History and Religious Studies. Graduated with First Class Honours in 1994, then moved to Perth at the end of that year. In 1995, I completed a one-year postgraduate course in Public History at Murdoch University.
In 1996, I was granted a Commonwealth Postgraduate Award and commenced a PhD at Curtin University, through the South Asia Research Unit there. During the next few years, I also tutored in History and Politics at Curtin, while researching and writing my dissertation. In 2003, I submitted my thesis for examination, and was awarded my doctorate sometime after this."
Vrsa is survived in Perth by his wife, his 14-year old son and 19-year old daughter, his 25-year old son and 28-year old daughter, his mother and father, his younger sister, and his eldest daughter, who gave birth to a son 5 hours before Vrsa's death.
He will be sorely missed.

Colorado Springs police say a man was shot to death just before 3 p.m. Tuesday near the Citadel Mall. His body was found on Galley Road after police responded to a report of gunshots.
The victim is identified as Kenneth Chazz Pritchett, Jr., 31, from Colorado Springs. His death has been ruled a homicide, the fifth of the year for Colorado Springs.
Friends and witnesses tell 11 News the victim was shot in the chest Tuesday afternoon. Mark Cartwright was a close friend of the victim, and considered him family.
"[The victim] was a good dude, he was a standup gentleman and he was a charmer," Cartwright told us.
Friends and family set up a candlelight memorial where the victim was found.
"This is a tragic situation what happened," Cartwright said.
Witnesses Akeem Johnson and Joe Othon told 11 News they were in a tattoo shop across the street. Once they heard roughly five gunshots, they immediately ran outside. They said they could still see and smell smoke from the gun.
"[The victim] rolled off the sidewalk and I could see the blood on his shirt, so it was in the chest at point-blank it looks like," Johnson said.
"Pretty heartbreaking, it was like watching some horrible movie go down, everybody was like, 'Nooooo,'" Othon added.
Cartwright said the victim worked at a hair salon inside the Citadel Mall. He said the victim was walking to a friend's house after work when, he claims, the victim was fatally shot.
"It's just a sad, sad day for the city of Colorado Springs because Kenneth was a Colorado native...he went to high school here and he grew up here," Cartwright said.
Investigators said Pritchett was already dead in the street when officers arrived.
"There are some real dudes out there who are mourning in their own way," Cartwright said. "All I can say is that I hope to God that God may have mercy on their soul, whoever it is."
Cartwright said the victim could put a smile on anyone's face, and he will be missed.
Roads near the mall and traffic north of the mall were being diverted through the mall's parking lot.
Police said at this point, they do not know if there is a danger to the community.
There is no suspect information at this time.

100 years of hoops
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- As a student at West Virginia Wesleyan College one hundred years ago, Harry Stansbury was staying busy.
A Raleigh County native, he played quarterback and led the Bobcats to football victories over West Virginia and Marshall in three consecutive seasons. He was captain of the baseball team and manager of the basketball and track teams, as well as president of the West Virginia Intercollegiate Track Association.
While still a Wesleyan student, he became the school's athletic director in those embryotic years of college athletics, arranging schedules and typing up press releases that he mailed to area newspapers. Wesleyan's 1914 yearbook described him as a "born leader.''
Starting in 1917, three years after his graduation from Wesleyan, he spent 21 productive years as WVU's athletic director and helped bring about construction of the original Mountaineer Field and the Field House, which still bears his name.
But perhaps his greatest contribution to West Virginia athletics was the state high school basketball tournament, which will be staged for the 100th time starting Wednesday at the Charleston Civic Center.
Newspaper stories of the era say young Stansbury founded the tournament on the Wesleyan campus in Buckhannon in 1914. It started as a modest venture matching the state's two best teams, Elkins and Wheeling.
From there, it grew to an astonishing 72 teams in 1924, giving the little town of Buckhannon an early taste of hoops hysteria, and has settled in to an annual, high-profile sports staple that soon will begin its second century.
It's probably safe to say that Wesleyan's brand-new gymnasium, which opened in September of 1913 and survived until 1974, played a role in the tournament's birth. It's likely Stansbury or a business-minded Wesleyan higher-up saw a statewide basketball tournament as a way to showcase the new gym, which seated about 1,200 spectators and housed a pool, baseball batting cage and running track.
"Wesleyan can boast of having the finest gymnasium in the state,'' the school's 1914 yearbook proclaimed.
Moreover, Stansbury surely realized that the budding sport of basketball, which had been invented just 23 years earlier, would lend itself to a popular, cost-efficient tournament involving teams from throughout the state.
Whatever the case, he received the school's blessings and began spreading the word in early 1914 that Wesleyan would play host to a tournament in March of that year and that all schools would be welcome.
As it turns out, the logistics of a full-fledged tournament on such short notice apparently proved too challenging, and thus only Elkins and Wheeling, the teams with the state's best records, played in what is considered the state's first high school basketball tournament on Saturday, March 21, 1914.
Elkins won 28-13, having built a 15-6 halftime lead that proved insurmountable.
A Wheeling Daily News correspondent captured the moment: "Both teams showed flashes of brilliant passing, but in this department, as well as basket shooting, Elkins excelled.''
Elkins captain Harry Leslie led the Tigers with six goals and impressed the Daily News.
"Leslie was undoubtedly the star of the game,'' the newspaper reported. "This red-headed chap seemed to be all over the floor and was the backbone of the Elkins offensive, as well as defensive, playing.''
Elkins also held an advantage in crowd support, the Daily News added.
"The Elkins contingent was particularly noisy, and enthusiasm was at a high pitch throughout the contest,'' said the newspaper.
The Wheeling Register attributed part of Wheeling's problems to nerves.
"After the start of the game, the Wheeling players seemed to be suffering somewhat from stage fright,'' the newspaper noted, "and fumbled passes and wild shots played havoc with their chances of scoring.''
Describing the game in a brief front-page story the next day, the Elkins Inter-Mountain called the crowd "one of the largest ever to witness a basketball game in the state'' and said both coaches gave their teams "a severe grilling at halftime.''
A few days earlier in a small preview, the Elkins paper reported that about 300 Elkins fans were expected to make the trip by train to Buckhannon.
After the game, Wesleyan president Thomas Haught, an 1894 graduate of the college, addressed the players and presented the championship trophy to Leslie, the Elkins captain.
The other four starters were Frank Wimer, Harry Whetsell, Carl Radcliffe and Jerome Madden. The reserves were Lawrence Parmesano, Hubert Tonry and Howard Ellifritz. Wimer and Whetsell later played at West Virginia University, and Wimer spent much of his life as a coach at Elkins High School.
The Tigers were coached by C.W. Jackson and played their home games at the Elkins YMCA, a building that still stands on Davis Avenue.
Leslie, who played basketball for Davis & Elkins College the following year, died of pneumonia on March 19, 1915, almost exactly a year after leading his team to a state championship.
The Wheeling players were John Creighton, Howard Nay, Ed Mathews, William Boyce, Herman Hamilton, James Bachman and George Ford. The coach was J.H. Thornton.
Each Elkins player was given a miniature metal basketball, a keepsake suitable for a necklace or keychain. Wesleyan paid the train fare for both teams.
During the regular season, the teams split their two meetings, Elkins winning 42-18 at home and Wheeling avenging the loss by rallying from a four-point halftime deficit to win 31-23 in Wheeling. It was the Tigers' only loss of the season and, in fact, their only setback in the last two seasons. Wheeling had lost one other game that year, at Parkersburg.
The first public announcement of the proposed tournament came on March 5, 1914, in an Associated Press story distributed to state newspapers.
The story read: "March 21 has been suggested to all high school basketball teams, which have sent their records for the 1913-14 season, as the date for the state high school basketball tournament.''
Not long after that first title game, the Wheeling Intelligencer observed: "Wesleyan at first planned a general tournament to decide the championship for high schools, but when it came down to the end of the regularly scheduled games . . . it was found that Wheeling and Elkins were really the only teams having a claim to the title.''
In a 1938 Daily Mail story, Thornton, the former Wheeling coach, recalled that the idea of a tournament in 1914 was conceived too late in the season to arrange an elaborate tournament.
Nevertheless, the people involved expected the tourney to continue and thrive in future years.
"It is understood to be the intention of Wesleyan,'' a Wheeling Register sportswriter wrote nearly 100 years ago, "to make the basketball championship an annual affair.''
Stansbury began work as West Virginia's athletic director in 1917 and soon saw the need for a new football stadium and basketball arena. His efforts led to the opening of 38,000-seat Mountaineer Field in 1924 and the 6,000-seat Field House four years later.
The old Field House survives as Stansbury Hall, serving as home for intramurals and academic needs.
A year after the Field House opened, Stansbury introduced the WVU Indoor Track Games and eventually brought U.S. Olympic greats Jesse Owens, Ralph Metcalfe and Eddie Tolan to compete there. He added wrestling and boxing to the Mountaineers' list of intercollegiate sports.
As athletic director, he often accompanied various Mountaineer teams on the road and, making use of the sportswriting skills he acquired as a Wesleyan student, wrote lengthy game stories that he sent to state newspapers. He also wrote midweek stories and updates on practices.
The late Eddie Barrett, who worked as West Virginia's sports information director in the 1950s and later earned the distinction as the school's sports historian, developed a friendship with Stansbury in those years. By that time, the former Mountaineer athletic director, who died in 1966, had become something of a West Virginia icon.
"Stansbury was a promoter, and he started a lot of things,'' Barrett said in a 2012 Gazette interview. "He decided on his own to match Wheeling against Elkins in the state high school basketball tournament. It was arbitrary on his part. He made decisions on his own. I was privileged to know him.''

Theodore Eliot, former Ambassador to Afghanistan, Analyzes Afghan Survey in Press Democrat
October 28, 2009
More Afghans think their nation is headed in the right direction this year than was the case in 2008, according to the latest "Survey of the Afghan People" conducted by the Asia Foundation. In light of Afghanistan's lingering problems, this sense of public optimism is both surprising and encouraging, writes Theodore Eliot, a former U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan who is on the board of trustees of The Asia Foundation. Mr. Eliot examines the implications of The Asia Foundation survey in an October 27 op-ed article in the Press Democrat newspaper.

Hospital founded by two doctors in 1963
Scripps Health kicked off a yearlong community celebration Friday commemorating the 50th anniversary of Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas.
Patients, caregivers and invited community leaders gathered to honor Dr. Dwight Cook, who, with the late Dr. Charles Clark, built a small medical office building for their growing practices in 1960.
With financial backing from community father Herman "Pop" Wiegand, the doctors broke ground on the 60-bed Encinitas Convalescent Hospital in 1963.
One year later, in April 1964, the new hospital opened and was licensed to provide long-term care to patients recuperating from illness.
By 1966, the hospital removed "convalescent" from its name after obtaining an expanded internal medicine license that allowed it to function as a full, acute-care hospital that directly treats patients.
Encinitas Hospital was renamed San Dieguito Hospital in 1975, the year that an expansion project bumped its bed capacity to 94 and added a full-service emergency department and an intensive-care unit. That name stood for only three years before Scripps purchased the facility in 1978, bestowing its current name.
Scripps, with support of the community, added a birth pavilion, a rehabilitation department and 60 more beds in 1992.
Scripps Encinitas now has 158 beds and sees about 80,000 patients per year.
A major expansion effort is under way that will double the size of the emergency department and add 36 medical and surgical beds.
As part of Friday's celebration, Scripps unveiled a display of historical photos. The hospital is also asking the public to contribute items to a commemorative time capsule.
Community members can view the photo display inside the hospital and drop off items for the time capsule in the main lobby.

Physical Characteristics
Types of Mary-Sue'sAngsty Sue: This type of Sue is created for people to feel bad for because of some dark past. Every other character in the story (unless they're mean or spiteful) will always make the Sue's angst the biggest issue in the story and the fact that she constantly dwells in her own self pity will be considered a "natural reaction". If two characters both have traumatic experiences, the Sue will receive more attention no matter what. The main goal of these is often to have the OC cuddle with a canon character.Types of Mary-Sue's by Animedemon001
Example one: Fred has just had his leg chopped off and will die if he does not receive medical attention immediately, but Mary-Sue is crying because of her daddy issues so everyone is busy comforting her. When Fred tries to call attention to the fact that he's dying, the others will call him selfish for not caring about Mary-Sue.
Example two: Best friends, Lucy and Mary-Sue were both kidnapped. Lucy was raped, and Mary-Sue witnessed it. W

Orlando Chapter Markers
On June 12, 2010, a dedication ceremony was held at Central Florida Veterans Memorial Park, 2380 Lake Baldwin Lane, Orlando 32814, for the unveiling of the monument, "Patriots of the American Revolution, 1775-1783, Heroes of Liberty."

Florida State Regent, Mrs. Barbara Whalin Makant, delivering remarks at the June 2010 dedication ceremony.
|On March 13, 2008, the chapter honored the original thirteen chapter members with a gravesite marker. The beautiful site is located at Greenwood Cemetery, 1603 Greenwood Street, Orlando. The marker is on the Historic Greenwood Cemetery Evening Tour every week.
On February 11, 1992, under the leadership of Orlando Chapter Regent Katherine Shuman, three brass plaques were placed in an area known as "Guardians of Freedom" at Constitution Green Park, Orlando, Florida. These markers were to honor Orlando Chapter Organizing Regent Carrie Schuller.
Present at the February 1992 dedication ceremony were, from left to right: Lucy Dorcy, Gloria Holly, Mae Stewart (Chapter Regent 1950-1952, Florida State Regent 1958-1960, and NSDAR Corresponding Secretary General 1965-1968), Mrs. T. G. Bess Lee, Elizabeth Williams, Kathy Shuman.
Historic Markers and Monuments Placed by Orlando Chapter
March 30, 1924, the Orlando Chapter unveiled a granite tablet on the site of Fort Gaitlin, a military outpost, two miles southeast of Orlando on Gatlin Avenue at the end of Osceola Avenue. That fort was erected November 9, 1818 as one of a chain of forts extending from Sanford to Tampa. Attending the ceremony was Martha Tyler (85 years old) who, when a little girl, was a refugee in this fort where she was protected from the indians.

marker photo: "Erected by the Orlando Chapter D. A. R.
On November 11, 1924, a flag pole and granite marker were placed on the grounds of Memorial High School to commemorate the soldiers of Orange County who fought in World War I. Built with the aid of patriotic citizens of Orange County, the marker is now located on the east side of Lake Eola.
In March 1931, the Orlando Chapter marked a historic and very rare tree which stood on the southeast corner of the courthouse grounds. The bronze plate on the cement wall contained the following inscription: "Rare tree, botanical name Pterospermum agerifolium known as chocolate or cacao from India. Planted by Leslie Pell Clarke in 1892. It's rarity is recognized by Orlando Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution who in conjunction with the County Commisioners of Orange County have placed the marker." Photo in Vol. 1, p. 135
On March 15, 1935, a large granite rock with a bronze plaque and a roadside marker both marked the site of Fort Maitland, built in 1838, by Lt. Col. Alexander G.W. Fanning, on the military road connecting Fort Mellon of Sanford with Fort Gatlin of Orlando. This fort was used as a stockade in the Seminole Indian Wars. The fort was named for the Seminole War Hero, Captain William Seton Maitland, a native of New York and graduate of West Point, whom President Andrew Jackson commissioned Brevet Captain for gallantry and "good conduct" at Withlacoochee December 31, 1865 and Welicka, July 19, 1836. He was severely wounded at Wahoo Swamp on November 21, 1836 and was drowned in the Ashley River, S.C. The boundaries of this fort were definitely marked as late as 1872 when this settlement was officially designated Maitland. The beautiful body of water nearby, which the Seminoles called Fumecheliga (Muskmelon Place), also honors the memory of Captain Maitland in its name Lake Maitland. The rock was placed at 100 S. Orlando Ave., Maitland, FL. A new marker was placed a few feet from the original location in 1972, to replace the original which was lost. A group of 20 Seminole Indians, men, women and children in colorful tribal dress, were present.
In 1935, a stone of Florida travertine was donated and dedicated in the "Walk of Fame" at Rollins College to honor Miss Lucy A. Cross, precursor of the college, on its 50th Anniversary Celebration.
On June 16, 1951 at Christmas, Florida (located twenty-two miles east of Orlando and fourteen miles west of Indian River City on Highway 50) a historical marker was placed to commemorate Fort Christmas. This fort had been established in 1835 and was in a siege of war on Christmas Day. The fort was destroyed by fire many years ago, hence all that is left of this historic site are live oaks and a growth of palmetto.
On April 14, 1960, a bronze marker at the south side of the new annex to the Orange County Courthouse honoring Jacob Summerlin was unvieled. The inscription reads, "In honor of Jacob Summerlin whose loyalty and influence were decisive factors in establishing this site in 1875 for the Orange County Courthouse, thus retaining Orlando as the County Seat."
On December 3, 1988, with the approval of the Historian General, NSDAR, a marker was placed to commemorate the site of the home of Francis Eppes, grandson of President Thomas Jefferson (3,000 S. Osceola Ave.). The plaque was caste bronze, 18" wide and 13" overall with a half-round top. The inscription read, "Site and Home of Francis Eppes, Grandson of President Thomas Jefferson, Original House Built 1868."
In March of 1992, a brass plaque was dedicated at three magnolia trees that were planted at Constitution Green Park, Orlando, Florida. The plaques honored chapter founder Carrie Schuler and Honor Roll members Mrs. Thomas Lee and Mrs. Jackson E. Stewart.

Evicted From Wikipedia
Why the online encyclopedia won't let just anyone in.
Pass me that whiskey bottle. My Wikipedia bio is about to disappear because I fail to satisfy the "notability guideline."
Wikipedia, as you probably know, is an online, multilingual encyclopedia whose entries are written and edited by readers around the world. What you may not know is that this ongoing experiment in Web-based collaboration maintains volunteer gatekeepers, and one of them has whisked me (or, rather, the entry describing me) under the insulting rubric, "Wikipedia articles with topics of unclear importance." I share this digital limbo with Anthony Stevens ("internationally respected Jungian analyst, psychiatrist, and author"), Final Approach("romantic comedy anime series"), Secproof ("well known security consulting company in Finland"), and about 400 other topics tagged during the past calendar month. There we languish, awaiting "deletion review," which I will surely flunk.
Wikipedia's notability policy resembles U.S. immigration policy before 9/11: stringent rules, spotty enforcement. To be notable, a Wikipedia topic must be "the subject of multiple, non-trivial published works from sources that are reliable and independent of the subject and of each other." Although I have written or been quoted in such works, I can't say I've ever been the subject of any. And wouldn't you know, some notability cop cruised past my bio and pulled me over. Unless I get notable in a hurry—win the Nobel Peace Prize? Prove I sired Anna Nicole Smith's baby daughter?—a "sysop" (volunteer techie) will wipe my Wikipedia page clean. It's straight out of Philip K. Dick.
My career as an encyclopedia entry began on Sept. 6, 2005, when (according to Wikipedia's "history" tab) an anonymous user posted a three-sentence bio noting that I wrote the Chatterbox column in Slate; that previously I'd been a Washington-based reporter for the Wall Street Journal; and that my wife, "fellow journalist Marjorie Williams," had died the previous January. I've since discovered through some Web sleuthing that my Boswell was a student at Reed College named Ethan Epstein. Subsequent reader edits added to Epstein's original a few more professional and personal items from my résumé that, like the earlier details, were readily available online.
I can't say that I'd ever harbored an ambition to be listed in Wikipedia, but when I tripped over my bio three months after it appeared, I felt mildly flattered. Exercising my Wiki rights, I corrected my city of residence, which was off by a few blocks, and added that I'd published a posthumous anthology of Marjorie's writing under the title The Woman at the Washington Zoo. Various items got added to and subtracted from my bio over the next year and a half, and every now and then I myself would check for errors (there were surprisingly few). It was on one such foray that I discovered I'd been designated for Wiki oblivion, like a dead tree marked with orange spray paint for the city arborist to uproot.
Talk about humiliating! Wikipedia does not, it assures readers, measure notability "by Wikipedia editors' own subjective judgments." In other words, it was nothing personal. But to be told one has been found objectively unworthy hardly softens the blow. "Think of all your friends and colleagues who've never been listed," a pal consoled. Cold comfort. If you've never been listed in Wikipedia, you can always argue that your omission is an oversight. Not me. I've been placed under a microscope and, on the basis of careful and dispassionate analysis, excluded from the most comprehensive encyclopedia ever devised. Ouch!

Why World Body May Be Irrelevant; Foreign-Policy Analysts Say the U.N. Security Council's Failures to Meet the Challenge Posed by Saddam Hussein Expose Greater Structural Flaws That Threaten Its Viability
Lucier, James P., Insight on the News
Byline: James P. Lucier, INSIGHT
Is the United Nations finished or is it just irrelevant? A little bit of both is the growing opinion of the U.S. foreign-policy establishment, which points to the world body's incapacity to meet the threat of international terrorism. In fact, it is not just the United Nations' flibbertigibbet attitude toward Iraq that is at the bottom of this conclusion. Former U.S. secretary of state Lawrence Eagleburger, in an exclusive interview with Insight, says that the failure of the U.N. Security Council to enforce its resolutions against Iraq is a structural failure that cannot be repaired. "The way in which all this transpired means that the U.N. will never if 'never' is not too strong a term will never again be what it once was to the United States."
The truth is that the dereliction of the United Nations has been evident to close observers ever since the collapse of the Soviet Union. In the lead article of that venerable bastion of the establishment, Foreign Affairs the quarterly journal of the Council on Foreign Relations Michael Glennon, a Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy professor at Tufts University, says "there is little reason to believe that the Security Council will soon be resuscitated to tackle nerve-center security issues."
A year and a day after the al-Qaeda strikes against the U.S. homeland, President George W. Bush stood before the U.N. General Assembly and challenged the world body to prove that it had not become irrelevant to the cause of peace. The United Nations, he said, must act against outlaw groups and outlaw nations to preserve the cause of human dignity. "Our greatest fear," he told the delegates on Sept. 12, 2002, "is that terrorists will find a shortcut to their mad ambitions when an outlaw regime supplies them with the technologies to kill on a massive scale."
That threat was the Iraqi regime of Saddam Hussein. The president catalogued Iraq's repeated resistance of U.N. resolutions, its falsifications, and its defiance and expulsion of inspectors. "The history, the logic and the facts lead to one conclusion: Saddam Hussein's regime is a grave and gathering danger," Bush said. He declared the United States would work with the United Nations to meet that danger, but he made it clear that if the U.N. didn't act, the United States would. As he said later in his State of the Union address, "The course of this nation does not depend on the decisions of others."
Bush issued a challenge to the delegates: "All the world now faces a test, and the United Nations a difficult and defining moment. Are Security Council resolutions to be honored and enforced or cast aside without consequence? Will the United Nations serve the purpose of its founding or will it be irrelevant?"
In October 2002 the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives backed the use of force in Iraq with a joint resolution, and in November 2002 the U.N. Security Council, after a furious round of back-corridor diplomatic haggling, unanimously passed the famous Security Council Resolution 1441 warning Iraq that if it did not comply it would face "serious consequences." That phrase was a diplomatic fig leaf to cover the use of armed force, as even the French agreed in off-the-record discussions reported at the time. The practice of doublespeak is a well-established tool in trying to achieve a text to which everyone can agree. But in this case France, by February of this year, was leading a quartet of dissenters, including Germany, Russia and Belgium ("Old Europe," according to Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld), who argued that the United States and its allies could not use military force without the approval of the Security Council. On March 20, coalition forces moved into Iraq, reducing France to sputtering with an accent aigu.
"In addition to the French having their own view of the appropriateness of U.S. unilateral action against Iraq," says Eagleburger, "they have as well substantial anti-American interests. …

Stossel Fights the Food Police
John Stossel wonders, is Michael Bloomberg a hypocrite?
Following in the footsteps of the Center for Consumer Freedom's "Attack of the Food Police" ad, tonight's episode of Stossel will call out the "food nags," "prohibitionists," and "social engineers" who want to ban fast food in Southern California and reduce salt across the country. Indeed, the Stoss calls Bloomberg a hypocrite for salting his pizza. Check out the show's intro here, as well as a clip featuring Jan Perry, the councilwoman who helped ban new fast-food restaurants in South Los Angeles.

Personal income in Colorado grew last year at one of the slowest rates in the nation.
The U-S Bureau of Economic Analysis says per-capita income in Colorado rose one-point-seven percent in 2003 to 34-thousand-283 dollars.
That rate was 46th in the country.
Colorado ranked last in income growth in 2002.
Coloradans still enjoy among the highest levels of per-capita income though. It ranked eighth in 2003.
Per-capita personal income is calculated by dividing the state's total population by the amount of personal income earned in the state.

News12 at 11 o'clock / Wednesday, Dec. 5, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Students, teachers and parents have enjoyed Lamar-Milledge Elementary since the school year started.
However, on Wednesday night, they were proud to showcase it to the county, board members and the superintendent. Even though all the seats were not taken in the school cafeteria for the program, the energy level and excitement was contagious. Faculty, students and teachers were all proud and ready to tell folks about their new school.
Superintendent Frank Roberson made an appearance and addressed the crowd, surprising them with a spelling test.
Even with the jokes and laughs, Dr. Roberson still had a serious message for parents.
"Forever stay engaged with your children in the learning process. Be your child's teachers partner. That's critically important," he said.
And even though the night was all about fun, Principal Raye Robertson said it's back to business for students.

Hey Torstan,
One more option might be Califph, though it can be difficult to read when used for smaller labels.
I'm hunting for a font with an 'Arabic feel' - commission wording. Any ideas? Dafont has turned up:
but I'm not totally convinced. Any and all help greatly appreciated!
Hey Torstan,
One more option might be Califph, though it can be difficult to read when used for smaller labels.
Well, if you are going to use letters that are readable in English you are asking for a tall order....seriously, Arabic is another animal altogether with it's own alphabet and if you add the vowels it's even more alien. And that is besides reading from right to left.
Funny enough I was practicing my Arabic writing yesterday. (I worked at it for a couple years and while I don't know how I will ever use it I don't want to totally forget about it).
If it must be readable then I think the second link is closer but the first looks nicer imo. Stay away from the capitals because they are just way off from what you get in actual Arabic. Arabic does have capitals but to us it doesn't look as obvious like our capitals dp against our lower cases. (Sorry I'm sun fried from being out in the heat all day and I can't recall what font we use in English and it's driving me crazy atm, LOL)
In retrospect I realize my posting is pretty worthless and probably of no help at all....sorry.

You know I'd be the guy to help you with this if it were about 6 weeks before today. So far I only have fonts A through C put back onto my pc, but only about 80% of those. The one thing you want to avoid is the whole "trying too hard to like Arabic but not actually getting there" thing. I'd dump the whole Arabic style font altogether and maybe go with one of those thick brush-stroke type letters, you know the "fatter than calligraphy" stroke. Jewish type fonts also do the trick without looking too hokey.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

Those are good pieces of advice. The cotnext is a civilisation that's far removed from our own historic cultures, but has preserved elements of them. So the style of writing harks back to arabic calligraphy without being arabic. The jewish call is a good one too and the Califph font is an excellent suggestion.
lol, just don't let any Jewish people know you are going to use their fonts to represent Arabic ones.

The Caliph font looks real nice and simple, easy to read, and you can always tweak a little the capitals to make the fancier and get a more "handmade" look for those fancy titles.
I think the Caliph font is better than the two others but it cost 18$ (contrary to the others).
For the first font, I cannot imagine very well the result on a map... It'd be necessary to test both on a map so that we can decide . At first sight, I'd choose the second link but not sure...
I found this arabolical font on anorther site. It's a bit less "arabic" but certainly more readable.
Al-Andalus is $20 and is an Arabic simulation font: http://guindo.pntic.mec.es/jmag0042/arabic.html
One of the nicest I had in my font notes file is the custom font commissioned for the UAE Embasy: http://www.arabiccalligraphy.com/201...orporate-type/ not available for public use

Distribution Channels
Inner Workings of the Millwork Industry
Supply-Chain Leadership
It's All About the Customer
by Allen Dyer
Throughout this year, the subject matter of this column has focused on our ever-changing millwork supply chains. The functional turf of manufacturers and distributors seems ever in flux, driven by factors we've explored throughout the year—industry consolidation, the application of technology, the impact of imports and the deflation of prices.
In the future, it is likely these and other factors will influence even more how we take our products and services to market, begging our continued attention to supply-chain dynamics.
One Friend's Point
Yet, one distributor friend pointed out to me that his dealer customers' interest in supply chain management was pretty shallow: Their concept of the value added to the supply chain by his company seemed limited to today's delivery, and some help maintaining their stock bins. While it has been entertaining to sit back and think about the dynamics of our industry from the 30,000 feet perspective, his point was valid.
Maintaining Positive Relationships
A good, long-term, supply-chain strategy alone does not win the hearts of many customers. The maintenance of positive personal and business relationships with our customers remains a critical factor to our success. We can't overlook the real-world challenges of meeting the daily demands of our customers who aren't interested in our supply-chain strategy if our last delivery was late.
So, my friend's observation is correct, and I readily admit to the sin of sometimes getting caught up in pushing toward tomorrow's solution at the expense of today's customer service.
Yet it clearly takes a balance of short-term tactical operating focus and long-term strategic supply-chain planning to make sure our customers receive our best effort today and in the future. Alone, neither is adequate, and in the application of both, our impetus really is all about the customer.
Position in the Supply Chain
Generally, the nearer our functional position in the supply chain is to the end customer, the less importance we ascribe to supply-chain strategy and leadership. As an example, builders and consumers tend to reward suppliers mainly on their ability to meet today's need adequately (an exception being large production builders, who are becoming very aware of strategic supply-chain management).
One step farther away from the end user, dealers may see some value in aligning with suppliers they believe have the ability to meet both today's needs and keep them in a competitive supply chain over the long term.
However, most of the supply-chain leadership function remains in the hands of distributors and manufacturers. They must deal with the challenges of long lead times, changing building codes or fluctuating foreign exchange rates, even when our customer seems to worry only about today's delivery.
Supply-chain leadership is just as much an added-value function as manufacturing or logistics services, and, as a manufacturer or distributor, our clients rely on us and pay us to position them properly over the long term. So, at our level, supply-chain management is indeed all about the customer.
Taking A Broader Perspective
I have no formal training, nor do I even offer original thoughts on the science and theory of supply-chain structure and management—I consider myself fortunate if I am able only to make observations and glean a few applicable ideas from others' studies and experience.
However, if sharing my thoughts regarding our millwork supply chains has had any significant value, I hope it lies in the encouraging of more of our millwork industry to take a broader perspective of how we manufacture, move and add value to our products and services as they travel toward their ultimate destination—the end user.
That broad perspective can help us be quicker to discover, consider and embrace new ideas and alternate models that may be more appropriate and effective in addressing issues pressing upon our industry today.
If our primary interest really is our customers, we must not only meet their needs on a daily basis, but we must also strive to improve the effectiveness of our supply chains over the long term. It really is all about the customer.

Productive Aging: Examining Trends in Health and Employment Status by Age
Census data and data from the American Community Survey are used to examine older adults' employment patterns over four decades, the percentage of older adults who have no health problems limiting their ability to work, and trends in employment status for both younger and older adults. Students must prepare a written report interpreting and integrating their results, and then apply the quantitative information by making recommendations to a business and a non-profit agency.
Understanding Housing Patterns in the United States
This exercises examines housing patterns using data from the 2000 U.S. Census considering how stage of life course and race/ethnicity influence these patterns. Students are expected to discuss the implications of their findings.
Social Structure, Race/Ethnicity, and Homicide
As discussed, the murder rates for Blacks in the United States are substantially higher than those for Whites, with Latino murder rates falling in the middle. These differences have existed throughout the 20th and into the 21st century and, with few exceptions, are found in different sections of the United States.
Population Structures and Cohorts
This module provides a gentle introduction to the use of WebCHIP software and census data to investigate basic population issues. In the first part of this module, you will use data from the 1990 U.S. census to create population pyramids for several racial and ethnic groups. These population pyramids provide the ability to view the age and sex structure of a population.
Occupational Sex Segregation and Earnings Differences
For this exercise we will: 1) examine sex segregation in employment from 1950 to 2000. 2) examine trends within three specific occupations of your choosing, and 3) for either doctors or lawyers, investigate gender and race differences on earnings and see if these differences change when we control for age.
Women and Household Structure
While you do the exercises in this lesson, you will find data that look at some of these claims. In the next lesson, we will explore some of the demographic "causes" of the increase in the status of women-declines in both mortality and fertility and an increase in urbanization.
The Census Project
In the first part of this exercise, students will use the elaboration model to analyze the census data from the SSDAN website. To carry out this study, whey will follow the basic procedures in social research and apply the concepts and techniques that have been discussed in class.
Using the General Social Survey to Investigate Social Relationships
In the first part of this exercise, students will learn (1) how to do preliminary data analysis using the General Social Survey (GSS); and (2) how to examine relationships between social constructs empirically. To carry out this study, whey will follow the basic procedures in social research and apply the concepts and techniques that have been discussed in class.
Exploring Education Attainment of U.S. Native-born and Foreign-born
This module explores the effects of nativity, race, and ethnicity on educational attainment in the U.S.
Disability: Equality/Inequality
This module examines the disability community and inequality. Students will attempt to determine which is the best indicator of disability and will form a composite to describe the disability community.
