"Shut up!" Pakistan prez outburst scrubbed from 'net-ABC News

'Shut Up'? Pakistan President's Outburst Scrubbed From 'Net
ABC News: February 7, 2010
ABC News' Nicholas Schifrin reports from Islamabad, Pakistan:
When President Asif Ali Zardari says "Shut up," he apparently means it.
A few weeks ago, a short video of Pakistan's unpopular, democratically elected president began playing on endless loop on the dozen private channels here. In the clip, he is giving a speech in Urdu to a crowd that apparently wasn't listening to him too closely (not uncommon in Pakistan). As he speaks, you can hear background chitchat from the inattentive audience. Well, he could hear that same chitchat too, so at one point he looked down at someone and yelled, in English, "Shut Up!"
All the local television anchors had a good laugh featuring the video, as did those at home — some of whom created remixes of Zardari's outburst (see HERE, HERE and HERE) and posted them to YouTube.
"Such behavior is embarrassing for any politician, but especially for the president of a country," wrote Adil Najam of All Things Pakistan, a moderate blog that promises to "talk about [Pakistan's] problems constructively."
Which brings us to the evening of Sunday, Feb. 7. At about 9:30 p.m., according to the Pakistan Twitterverse, YouTube suddenly disappeared from Pakistani Internet Service Providers.
About an hour later, it seems that all was fixed — with one very blatant exception. The dozen or so YouTube videos featuring Zardari's explosion in loop were still restricted. You could search for them, but you couldn't watch them (see screen grab below).
Both the government and YouTube say they're checking to see what's going on.
I called my Internet Service Provider and one official said he was under the impression all had been fixed — and insisted nobody from his side was specifically restricting embarrassing videos of the democratically elected president.
"It must be some restriction from government side," he said, confirming that the videos had been restricted. He laughed and joked, "Zardari might be blocking it himself!"
It's important to note that as of right now, it's not clear who restricted the videos (or at least, nobody's owning up to it).
But Zardari's government – the first democratic government in Pakistan in more than a decade — has taken steps in the past to restrict critical speech.
Last summer, the government passed a law threatening anyone who sends text messages or e-mails that "slander the political leadership of the country" with 14 years in prison.
(For some good Zardari jokes, click here, especially if you can understand Urdu.)
It's not clear if anyone was actually charged under that statute (including the journalists who printed the SMSs)…
Judging by the instant reaction online — especially on Twitter — the government will be blamed for this, and it will not go down well. Tonight, one blogger critical of Zardari – Huma Imtiaz of "The World Has Stopped Spinning" — wrote, "This move comes just when one thinks the government of Pakistan cannot outdo themselves. What's next, a ban on free speech?"
Tunisia expands blog censorship-Global Voices

Tunisia: Censorship Again and Again!
Global Voices: February 8th, 2010
More than ever before, censorship seems to become the rule in Tunisia. The last two weeks in the Tunisian blogosphere witnessed a war launched by Ammar (the nickname given to the Tunisian censorship apparatus), who has been censoring blogs arbitrarily.
Following the censorship of Fatma Arabicca and Sofiene Chourabi's blogs, two other blogs had been censored. One of them is the Free Jailed Tunisian students.
The second blog blocked is Nocturnal Thoughts . The censorship of the latter created a wave of protests on the Tunisian blogosphere.

Ammar said that he doesn't like Nocturnal Thoughts anymore. He prefers afternoon thoughts. Nocturnal Thoughts, the blog of our friend and brother Tarek Kahlaoui, had been censored after more than three years of continuous blogging about interesting and sensitive subjects. In Tunisia, the scissors of censorship acquired new significance. It is no onger a form of oppression and a limit to freedom of expression as it is a medal for the blogger and a certificate from the censor showing the value of a blog and the importance of the subjects it deals with. Congratulations to our friend Tarek and welcome again in the club of censored blogs.
Matrka(Hammer) blogged saying:
المدونات تصل الجميع والامكانيات تتطور كل يوم
افكار ليلية، مدونة طارق الكحلاوي، مدونة ممتازة تستحق المطالعة والقراءة ويمكن ان يكون الفرد مختلف مع طارق في هذا الموضوع او ذاك، كما يمكن ان يختلف طارق في الرأي مع هذا او ذاك، ولكن حجبها خسارة، بالطبيعة خسارة للناس الي تقرا وتهتم بالقراءة، وحجبها هو عمل متخلف مكانو الطبيعي في بداية القرن العشرين على اكثر تقدير…
Blogs connect people and their potential is evolving every day. Nocturnal Thoughts, the blog of Tarek Kahlaoui, is a good blog which deserves reading. Individuals might not be in total agreement with Tarek about one subject or another. Tarek might have a different opinion from a person or another. But the censorship of his blog is a loss. Of course, it is a loss for those who read and are interested in reading, and its censorship is a retarded action and its normal place is in the beginning of the 20th century…
Samsoum blogged under the title Ammar does not like thoughts and thinkers especially those who blog about their nocturnal thoughts saying:
واللَه مانيش مصدَق اللي مدونة طارق الكحلاوي تصنصرت خاطر نسيت اللي عمار مقص ما عندوش لوجيك يمشي بيها في ميدان التصنصير و ممكن كي فطن اللي الموضوع فيه تفكير و كلام صعيب شوية قال مانخوش الريسك و اللي خاف نجي يعني صنصر طوَا و لوَج عي سبب من بعد
الحاصل مرحبا بطارق في نادي المصنصرين و انشالله العمليَة الارهابية متاع عمار تزيد تشجعك بش تزيد تنورنا بافكارك اكثر من قبل و مدونتي مفتوحة طالما عمار موش رادد بالو
والله الواحد يحشم علي روحو كيعرف انو استاذ يكتب في صحف اجنبية و يقري في الاجانب في تاريخ الفن يتم صنصرته في بلاده لأنو تجرَء و فكَر…
I can't believe that the blog of Tarek Kahlaoui had been censored because I forgot that "Ammar the Scissors" does not have a logic to follow in the field of censorship. Maybe he discovered that the subject includes thinking and difficult discourse and decided to avoid risks so he decided to censor the blog immediately and to find an argument for this censorship later on.
Welcome Tarek in the club of the censored bloggers and I hope that the terrorist actions of Ammar, will give you courage to enlighten us with your thoughts more than before. And my blog is open to you as long as Ammar did not pay attention to it.
One is really ashamed when he knows that a professor writing in foreign newspapers and teaching the history of art abroad is censored in his own country because he dared to think.
Vietnam blocks more websites-AP
February 15, 2010
Two popular Web sites blocked in Vietnam
Associated Press: February 11, 2010
|Two pioneering Web sites that stretched the limits of free expression in Vietnam say they have been hacked and shut down, just months after the communist government blocked the social networking site Facebook.
Both sites had been critical of Vietnam's policies toward China, a subject of great sensitivity to the government, whose efforts to maintain good relations with its massive northern neighbor sometimes run afoul of nationalist sentiment.
But both sites were generally restrained in tone, and neither had called for an end to Vietnam's single-party system.
The sites' problems arose in the midst of Vietnam's latest crackdown on dissent, which has seen 16 democracy activists jailed in just over three months.
The government has not responded to questions about the Web sites submitted earlier this week by The Associated Press.
But shortly after Vietnam began blocking Facebook in November, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Nguyen Phuong Nga declared that Vietnam would take "appropriate action" against Web sites that it believes threaten national security. The government did not specifically acknowledge shutting down Facebook, but two Internet service providers said they had been ordered to block the site.
One of the recently closed sites, blogosin.org, was shut down earlier this week, according to its author, Huy Duc, a Ho Chi Minh City blogger who wrote under the pen name "Osin," which, loosely translated, means "housekeeper." He often campaigned against corruption and lampooned bureaucratic incompetence.
The second site, bauxitevietnam.info, was founded last year by three men who oppose the government's plans to open a giant bauxite mine in Vietnam's strategically sensitive Central Highlands.
The bauxite site's manager, Nguyen Hue Chi, said he has been playing an online cat-and-mouse game with unknown hackers since December, when the site was first blocked. Last month, he moved it to a new Web address, but it was recently hacked again. It is now accessible at yet another address that Chi recently established.
Duc lost his job at the Saigon Tiep Thi newspaper last August after posting a piece on the Osin site that praised the fall of the Berlin Wall and criticized the former Soviet Union's communist leaders.
From the time it opened last year until it was closed in December, the Bauxite site had drawn more than 17 million hits from readers concerned about the government's mining plans.
Vietnam has hired a Chinese company to build the plant to process bauxite taken from the mines and hundreds of Chinese are reportedly working there.
Vietnam has some of the world's largest reserves of bauxite, the primary ingredient in aluminum. The government has argued that the mine would bring economic benefits to the impoverished Central Highlands.
Opponents say the project would cause major environmental problems and have raised the specter of Chinese workers flooding into the strategically sensitive region. Among them is the legendary 98-year-old Gen. Vo Nguyen Giap, who expelled French and U.S. troops from Vietnam.
Giap's photograph is prominently featured on the bauxite Web site.
Suspicion of China runs deep in Vietnam, which has a long history of conflict with its northern neighbor.
The two countries fought a bloody border war in 1979 and they have ongoing disputes about two archipelagoes in the South China Sea, the Spratlys and the Paracels.
Like Osin, bloggers on the bauxite site have argued that the Vietnamese government has not taken a tough enough stand against China.
During an interview last summer, Chi said the founders established the site because the dispute over the bauxite mine had been largely ignored by Vietnam's state-controlled media.
Chi, whose grandfather was friends with Vietnam's revolutionary hero Ho Chi Minh, stressed that he wanted to work with the Communist Party, not replace it.
He expressed confidence that the government would gradually ease restrictions on expression.
"The right to independent thought and free expression is enshrined in the Vietnamese constitution," Chi said.
Silencing dissent in Vietnam-HRW
February 15, 2010
Vietnam: Expanding Campaign to Silence Dissent
Award-Winning Writers Put on Trial for Seeking Peaceful Reforms
Human Rights Watch: February 4, 2010
The Vietnamese government should immediately drop all charges and free the prominent writer and democracy activist Tran Khai Thanh Thuy, Human Rights Watch said today. She is to be put on trial February 5, 2010, on assault charges after thugs attacked and beat her in front of her home, as undercover police looked on.
Tran Khai Thanh Thuy and Pham Thanh Nghien, who was sentenced to prison on January 29 on charges of disseminating anti-government propaganda, are both recipients of the prestigious Hellman/Hammett award, which honors writers who have been victims of political persecution.
"Courageous women such as Tran Khai Thanh Thuy and Pham Thanh Nghien face years behind bars rather than being able to contribute to the country's development," said Brad Adams, Asia director at Human Rights Watch. "When will the Vietnamese government stop locking up peaceful activists who simply have different ideas and the courage to express them?"
In defense of the Vietnamese Communist Party's crackdown on dissent, the party's general secretary, Nong Duc Manh, said on February 2, "We struggle against all the … hostile forces by preventing them from profiting from…democracy, human rights, multi-partyism and pluralism to sabotage the Vietnamese revolution."
The trials of the two women are the latest in a recent string of political trials of dissidents arrested during 2009. At least 17 dissidents have been sentenced to prison since October.
"None of these activists should be in prison," Adams said. "They are being targeted for their legitimate and peaceful activities as human rights defenders, democracy campaigners, dissident writers and political bloggers."
An established novelist and political essayist, Ms. Thuy, 50, was arrested the evening of October 8, 2009. Earlier that day, police stopped her from travelling to Hai Phong to attend the trials of fellow dissidents. They ordered her to return to her home in Hanoi, where that evening she and her husband were harassed and attacked by thugs.
Ms. Thuy, who suffered injuries to her head and neck, was arrested after the attack and detained at Dong Da police station in Hanoi on charges of "intentionally inflicting injury on or causing harm to the health of other persons" under article 104 of Vietnam's Penal Code. On October 19, she was moved to Hoa Lu prison in Hanoi. Since her arrest, her family has been denied contact with Ms. Thuy, who suffers from diabetes and tuberculosis.
Ms. Thuy has played a key role in Vietnam's besieged democracy movement. In 2006, she started an association for victims of land confiscation (Hoi Dan Oan Viet Nam), helped found the Independent Workers' Union of Vietnam, and joined the editorial board of the pro-democracy bulletin To Quoc (Fatherland), which is printed clandestinely in Vietnam and circulated on the internet. Up until five weeks before her last arrest, she was also an active blogger (still available online at: http://trankhaithanhthuy.blogspot.com/).
Since emerging as an activist in 2006, Ms. Thuy has been repeatedly denounced and humiliated in public meetings organized by the authorities, including a "People's Court" in 2006, at which police gathered 300 people in a public stadium to insult her. In November 2006 she was dismissed from her job as a journalist and placed under house arrest to bar her from meeting with international journalists and diplomats attending the Asian Pacific Cooperation Summit in Hanoi. In April 2007 she was arrested and held incommunicado for more than nine months at B-14 Detention Center in Hanoi. After her release in January 2008, she continued to encounter relentless harassment from police, local officials, and orchestrated neighborhood gangs.
During 2009, for example, thugs attacked her house at least 14 times, throwing excrement and dead rodents at her gate. They also inserted metal into her front door lock on two occasions, locking her out of her own home. When she went to the police to file a complaint, they refused to take any action, even though neighbors reported that police were watching during some of the attacks on her home.
"Charging the victim of a beating with assault is yet another example of Vietnam's Kafkaesque efforts to silence government critics," Adams said. "The thugs who attacked her, the people who sent them, and the police officers who refused to intervene should all be brought to justice."
Ms. Nghien, 33, a writer and democracy campaigner, was sentenced by the Haiphong Court on January 29 to four years in prison followed by three years under house arrest on charges of spreading anti-government propaganda under article 88 of the penal code. As with Ms. Thuy, Ms. Nghien's family has not been allowed to visit her since her arrest in September 2008.
In 2007, when the wool company where Ms. Nghien worked went bankrupt, she began doing advocacy work on behalf of landless farmers and writing articles calling for human rights and democracy. In July, 2007, authorities barred her from attending the trial of her close friend, the democracy campaigner Le Thi Cong Nhan. After that, Ms. Nghien was repeatedly harassed by the police, who regularly summoned her for aggressive questioning.
In June 2008, Ms. Nghien was detained after signing a letter with fellow activists requesting authorization from the Public Security Ministry to organize a peaceful demonstration against China's claims to the Spratley and Paracel islands. A few days later, she was attacked and beaten by thugs, who threatened her life if she continued "hostile actions" against the state. In September 2008, she was arrested along with other democracy activists during a government crackdown that aimed to prevent planned anti-China protests at the Chinese Embassy in Hanoi.
Human Rights Watch called on Vietnamese authorities to guarantee the physical and psychological well-being of both women in prison, including providing needed medication and medical treatment and allowing for regular family visits. Human Rights Watch has documented systematic use of torture of political prisoners in Vietnam, including beatings, electric shock, confinement in solitary, dark cells, and prolonged shackling.
Human Rights Watch noted that the victims of the government's crackdown include established writers, journalists, businesspeople, and lawyers such as Le Cong Dinh, who was sentenced to prison last month on subversion charges. A long-time journalist for the state media, Ms. Thuy is a member of the Association of Hanoi Writers, the Club of Women Poets, the Club of Humoristic Journalists, and the Association of Vietnamese Journalists. She is also an honorary member of English PEN.
Other recipients of the Hellman/Hammett award who have been sentenced to prison in recent months include Nguyen Xuan Nghia, a 2008 recipient, and Tran Anh Kim, a 2009 recipient.
"Vietnam's intolerance for different opinions has recently reached a new low as the government tightens its grip in the run-up to next year's party congress," Adams said. "Unless Vietnam's donors make it clear that these abuses are completely unacceptable, the downward trend will only get worse."
China's 'net blocklist published-Taiwan News
February 15, 2010
[FACT comments: We are trying to get ahold of a copy of this blocklist. It should be very revealing of China's repressive censorship.]
China government's undesired websites unveiled
Taiwan News: February 12, 2010
Google's row with China over Internet freedom has aroused an universal concern for its controversial mechanism of information censorship. Many cannot help but wonder what is China's rationale underlying Internet censorship? And what kind of websites are forbidden?
Recently, Phoenix Weekly stationed in Beijing published a "confidential blacklist," revealing a series of unwelcome websites – KMT is surprisingly included in the list.
Websites calling for separatism are the main targets for China – including Tibetan Youth Congress, International Tibetan Separatist Movement, and Students for a Free Tibet. Taiwan's opposition DPP as well as its related websites whose appeals always run counter to the China government are unsurprisingly included in the list.
Overseas Chinese websites are also under China's control: BBC Chinese, the New York Times, Washington Post, Apple Daily, CNN, China Affairs, Open Magazine, New Magazine, Central News Agency, China Times, the Wall Street Journal and Boxun Network.
Religious websites in favor of Uighur freedom, human rights and Falun Dafa are also screened by China's censorship mechanism.
In Xinjiang, the Internet is guilty until proven innocent-Jonathan Stray

In Xinjiang, the Internet is Guilty Until Proven Innocent
Johnathan Stray: February 8, 2010
We are witnessing the birth of a new kind of internet censorship in the Xinjiang province of Western China: the kind where a web site must be specifically allowed, instead of specifically disallowed.
China's largest province was disconnected from the world completely, including a shutdown of phones and SMS, after hundreds of people were killed in separatist protests by the Uyghur minority people in July. Today, the Far West Blog reports that 27 more web sites have been allowed through the previously complete internet block. Wow. A whole 27. That brings the total number of extra-provincial sites accessible to Xinjiang residents to 31, and all of them are inside China.
The Chinese government maintains that the US-based "World Uyghur Congress" instigated the riots from overseas using the internet and SMS. No communications, no riots, the logic goes. And perhaps this is true, if myopic (fascinating debate on this here).
But there is something very wrong about opening up sites one by one like this, despite the fact that state-run Xinhua news agency is playing it up as communications being "restored". The current Xinjian policy represents a new and extremely troubling flavor of censorship: rather than some sites being blocked, some sites are allowed. This is a white list, as opposed to the usual black list; the default is now "no". Bearing in mind that personal satellite dishes are illegal in China, this means the government has complete control over the information that people are exposed to. This is just like the pre-internet era in any number of times and places, really, but that doesn't make it any better.
At least text messaging, including international text messaging, was restored two weeks ago.
According to Far West Blog, here is what you now get from the outside world if you live in Xinjiang:
- 7 News Sites (including China Daily and CCTV)
- 4 Travel Sites (including Ctrip and Air China)
- 3 Business & Finance Sites
- 3 Telecom Sites (all three major Chinese carriers)
- 2 Shopping Sites (including Taobao, China's version of eBay)
- 2 Computer Service Sites (so you can update your anti-virus)
- 2 Gaming Sites (more flash games…yippee)
- 2 Education Sites (study materials for students and help for teachers)
- 1 Fashion Site
Yes, this also means no IM, no Skype, no email, no nothing outside of the province. "I have had to sit here and endure a frustrating feeling that we are now living in the stone ages," says Far West Blog writer Josh.
These 31 sites seem ridiculously limited, and these limits (no email!) would severely hamper business in the affluent Eastern provinces. Xinjiang has only 20 million people, so perhaps China can more or less do without it for a while. But what if the national firewall let through only, say, the top 10,000 or 100,000 currently uncensored international sites? How much easier it would be to prevent some pesky overseas message board from cropping up to corrupt Chinese minds! Why, your world-censoring work would practically be done for you, and almost no one would be the wiser.
Let's hope that this isn't a precedent.
UPDATE: There are rumours, based on government statements in December, that a national whitelist is planned. Nothing definitive yet.
One month on, Google still censors in China-Register
February 15, 2010
One month later, Google still censors China search
Premature Mountain View worship
The Register: February 10, 2010
From the department of premature congratulations: One of China's best-known artists and activists just spoke out in support of Google's "decision" to stop censoring search results inside the world's most populous nation.
In a Wall Street Journal op-ed piece headlined "Google Gives Us Hope," Al Weiwei also said two of his Gmail accounts were breached by unknown intruders and messages were automatically "transferred to an unknown address." He said that even as the internet was promoting greater political participation, Chinese authorities were working hard to stifle this possibility.
"All this makes Google's decision to stop censoring to protect its China operations especially significant," he wrote. "First, it is encouraging for the Chinese people to see that a leading internet company recognizes that censorship is a violation of basic human rights and values. Such controls damage the core ethos underpinning the internet."
Perhaps no one told Weiwei that Google.cn continues to heavily censor search results exactly a month to the day after it revealed its defenses were pierced by sophisticated attacks that probably came from China. A close reading of the underlying Google post makes it unclear when, or even if, the company will ever bring China's 1.3 billion citizens the unfiltered information Weiwei says is crucial for liberty to flourish.
Google Chief Legal Officer David Drummond never said his company would stop censoring hot-button issues such as the Tiananmen Square massacre of 1989. Instead he said Google management had "decided we are no longer willing to continue censoring our results on Google.cn, and so over the next few weeks we will be discussing with the Chinese government the basis on which we could operate an unfiltered search engine within the law, if at all."
The wiggle room in that promise is big enough to drive a truck through. A spokesman declined to say when the company planned to stop censoring google.cn results and instead referred us to Drummond's post.
All of which has us wondering if all the hoopla about unfiltered search results was a smokescreen intended to distract world + dog from the very embarrassing admission that the world's No. 1 search engine was breached and absent a complete withdrawal from China, it isn't confident it can repel future attacks. A more cynical take might be that Google's threat has less to do with basic human rights and values and more to do with a PR-savvy exit strategy.
To be fair, it's possible Google's reticence is the result of ongoing discussions in which company executives convince Chinese officials to allow the search behemoth to remain in China even though it will no longer comply with their censorship requirements. But until Google turns off the filters, let's dispense with the congratulations.

Yaz And Yasmin Settlement Funding News: Legal-Bay To Increase Funding Amounts Up To $100K On Some Yaz And Yasmin Birth Control Recall Cases
TAMPA, Fla., April 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Legal-Bay LLC, The Lawsuit Settlement Funding Company, announced today that they have increased their funding amounts to $100K on a select few Yaz and Yasmin Birth Control Recall cases waiting for their settlement check. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130409/PH89998)Legal-Bay has been an industry leader in Yaz and Yasmin –and all harmful pharmaceutical drugs- lawsuit funding, however their increased commitment to funding single cases up to $100K with minimal due diligence sets them apart from the rest of the legal funding industry. Legal-Bay is also able to consider larger funding amounts, however the evaluation period is substantially longer on claims worth more than $100K. Chris Janish, CEO of Legal-Bay, commented on the company's increased pre-settlement cash advance amounts, "We are beginning to see a large increase in applications of Yaz funding after the recent settlement in a small number of cases. And now that the Pharmaceutical Companies continue to delay the settlement process through questionable legal strategy; we believe the most serious Yaz and Yasmin plaintiffs are going to need access to more capital at their fingertips. We stand committed to allow our clients to not only get the funding they need, but to receive the maximum pre-settlement values available on Yaz claims in the lawsuit funding market." Legal-Bay's typical cash advance settlement funding program is not a lawsuit loan, as the advance only needs to be paid back if the case is won. However, Legal-Bay does offer lawsuit loans for some settled cases as well as traditional banking lines of credit for large commercial business clients. Clients who no longer can wait for their birth control Yaz settlement amounts or values can inquire about Legal-Bay's various pre and post settlement funding programs can apply online at: lawsuitssettlementfunding.com or by calling toll free at 877.571.0405 where funding agents are always available to answer any of your lawsuit settlement funding questions.

SANDY — For as long as anyone can remember, Alta High has always played its annual "Black and White Game," an intrasquad scrimmage that signals the start of the Hawks' football season.
The game features the entire Alta High School squad — seniors, juniors and sophomores — squaring off in a series of scrimmages that showcase all team members for proud parents, family members, friends and the Hawks' student body and fans.
Well, there won't be a "Black and White Game" at Alta this year.
Oh, sure, they're still going to play their annual intrasquad game next Saturday, but due to (depending on who you listen to) — either racial tensions at the school or what one observer called "political correctness run amok" — they just don't want to publicize it as the "Black and White Game" any more.
As per an edict from district headquarters, posters promoting the game as such were taken down at the school this past week.
So whadda we call it now, the "Gray Game?"
Black and white, of course, are two of the official school colors, the other one being silver. Black and white are also the colors of the football team's home and away jerseys — hence the "Black and White Game."
Well, duh. (No, they don't have silver jerseys).
And, yes, there are black and white students who attend the school, just as there are black and white players on the team. The issue, though, isn't as black and white as those Alta football jerseys. Instead, it seems to come in varying shades of gray.
It all started back in March, when a male student put a white pillowcase on his head, with eyeholes cut into it, and wore it during the school's Spirit Bowl assembly.
Some reacted with outrage, saying the white-hooded boy — who apologized and was subsequently suspended from school — was symbolic of the ultra-racist Klu Klux Klan, which reigned with such atrocious violence and terror for so many years in the Deep South.
Others pleaded that the boy was just trying to show his school spirit, that the incident was not racially motivated and was blown way out of proportion.
After all, the boy was dressed all in white — his class color — at the Spirit Bowl, where sophomores wear red, juniors wear white and seniors wear black to display their class pride. Students were chanting "white power" and "black power" — oblivious to what those words signified in the racially charged 1960s and '70s.
There were reportedly other "serious incidents" involving Alta High — an off-campus fight between a black and white student, alleged racial slurs used by students at basketball games, students text-messaging photos of a burning cross and a hooded person in KKK attire — that served to put the school's reputation at stake.
"Everyone's responsible for resolving it," Canyons School District Superintendent David S. Doty said in an earlier Deseret News story. "I refuse to be the superintendent of a school that allows that kind of behavior to go on."
All of this brought on an investigation by the Canyons School District. Principal Mont Widerberg and vice principal Mark Montague were placed on paid administrative leave. Widerberg wound up taking an early retirement, and Montague eventually moved on to another school.
Intolerance? Discrimination? Racism? Civil rights violations? Hate crimes?
Am I totally naive in thinking that, over the last 40-50 years, we've done a lot to try and overcome those issues to a great extent in this country of ours?
Apparently so.

An addition to a classic,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Beyond Nose to Tail: A Kind of British Cooking: Part II (Hardcover)
This shouldn't really be bought as a stand-alone recipe book. The purpose of 'Beyond Nose to Tail' is really as a complementary volume to the original book. Taken on its own, it is a bit unbalanced and incomplete (hence the 4 stars, rather than 5).
Considering both books as a single entity makes far more sense, and make for a truly superb exploration of fascination, thought-provoking and delicious food. Each volume enriches the other.

You can hang in there; trust in God
Jack argued about practicing his strokes at the usual training of his swim team that evening. In addition, that particular day I was obligated to appear at three appointments during the morning; and if that were not enough, Debbie, another member of my family, suddenly decided to watch a local soccer game in the chilly damp weather -- just one more trip. None of these happenings were things you couldn't deal with, but they all contained aggravating undercurrents.
Jack's hesitation concerning swim team exercise can be expected occasionally, but in my mind, I dredged up all the other activities he rebelled against. Jack would rather watch television or play a video game. And he seldom wanted to complete his homework without a fight. When you add all that together, along with his latest endeavor to get out of performing at the pool, it proved too much.
The next issue on my repertoire of frustrations that day was that of my three appointments -- one right after the other. Lots of people have three appointments during one morning, but this time things went awry. My first two obligations came and went without a hitch. In fact I had extra time left because I finished early. I thought I could possibly get finished with the last one promptly and then I would have the rest of the day to do what I wanted. No way. That was not the case. My last appointment was delayed two and a half hours. "Well, so much for that desire," I mumbled to myself.
Then the third interruption came while I was sitting in the waiting room of my last appointment. Debbie called wanting to attend the soccer game. Despite how vehemently I tried to persuade her that it was too chilly and rainy and a school night as well, she refused to be convinced. Another side to my argument was that neither school participating in the game was her school.
"You have plenty to do at your school," I told her. But I relented and my husband took her to the mall to meet her friend. "She could be doing a lot worse," I rationalized, even though she may come home with a raging cold and sopping wet from sitting out in the damp cold drizzle."
When I finally arrived home at four o'clock in the afternoon; I breathed a sigh of relief. "Wow, what a day." I couldn't say it was a bad day because Jack went to swim practice, I finally finished my engagements and Debbie arrived safely back home after her soccer game. I think, without a cold.
I was modestly proud of my reactions to all the misplaced plans of mine, to Jack's complaining and to Debbie's impulsive and unreasonable request to be taken to the soccer game, regardless of the cold and rain and the busy day for everybody at home. I tried to keep my cool and realize how comforting I could be to those I dealt with if I thought less of my inconveniences. I needed to realize that those people had nothing to do with my exasperating, messed up appointments. I could survive.
Everybody has upsetting days. Regardless of how hard you try things will not always go as you've planned or expected. "Neither will everyone always like you. There's a trait in human nature that says in spite of how nice, or talented you are, some will still dislike you." (Norman Vincent Peale)
When you experience unpleasant days or meet people who, for no particular reason, refuse to warm up to you, hang in there. Realize that you are a child of God. God doesn't make junk, and you can handle anything if you choose to. The important thing is to continue to love and maintain confidence in yourself. And most of all, trust in God.

These injections are given, in general to the "free health", section of the population, although not exclusively. there is a lot of intimidation of the woman & they are coerced to accept this form of contraception, out of harrassment, or fear of becoming pregnant. 35 years ago my mother spoke in South Africa about this to her cousin here. The problem does not end there because if all of them decided to have a few children , "according to their means", & have the whole, (extended) family take care of these children to full potential & good life span, the avoidance of of tubal ligation(because of religion, or permission from a man, or permission from the doctor, etc.), the woman who continue or go on with these long acting drugs; display symptoms, of weight gain, distortion of body, blood pressure problems, diabetes, and in south Africa, they tell you in the clinics that you will have to take diabetic & blood pressure medication before you die.

Several towns and cities in North Carolina promote water conservation by targeting customers' wallets, gradually charging high-consuming water customers more per gallon.
Rate structures are used by about 20 percent of the state's water systems, though others are now considering the strategy to help conservation amid the lingering drought.
Tiered water rates have been used for 10 years in Cary, and officials credit the program for reducing water consumption per person in the fast-growing yet water-rich Raleigh suburb.
Greensboro and other cities also have seen consumption drop since they adopted a tiered-rate system, and a similar system is in place for Charlotte-Mecklenburg Utilities customers.
In Raleigh, Mayor Charles Meeker is floating the idea to the city council as the city faces its fourth drought in eight years.

As others have commented, this game is dull, boring, and repetitive. As long as you upgrade your auto-firing weapons, you can just sit back and let them do everything. The problem is, the mobs take way too long to spawn. If not for my mindless addiction to getting Kong badges, I would have walked away after the third level. 1/5.

It's a nice game, I like the challenge and the flow. Unfortunately, as many others have noted, sponsor GameArk has: (a) quite possibly the most annoying intro conceived by man, and (b) placed their link button INSIDE the play area, causing massive frustration. Would be a 4/5 but for the sponsorship; 2/5 as it is.

Good game, until level 45. I'd love to play more, but that level is all ragequit. 3/5, would be higher if the difficulty curved instead of running into a brick wall.

This game is very, very fun, even without the multiplayer- great replay value and pretty good balance. The notable exception is the Alien campaign, which is intentionally unfair. For example, you are burdened with incompetent teammates in deathmatch mode, while also being handicapped by the lack of a rocket launcher in place of a completely inferior gun that is supposed to be better, but actually just sucks. Would be a 5/5 but beating the alien campaign takes 1% skill and 99% luck, so 4/5.

This is an interesting idea with good graphics. Although I haven't run into any of the bugs others complain about, I do have two complaints of my own: first, the game doesn't make much sense without some kind of explanation. Where are the boats? How do I eat someone? Second, the game is EXTREMELY stupid to control. Moving the fish is fine, but getting it to bite human or eat another fish is mind-bogglingly frustrating. Also, what's up with the upgrade menu? Can you make it so that it takes less than 50 clicks to see what I can upgrade? 2/5.

Although the full version of this game is years old and available for free, this demo version adds insult to overly-limited-play injury by hassling the player about the full version and plying the player with cheat codes. 1/5 for bringing crap to Kong.

This seems like it could be an interesting and fun game, except the difficulty curve is way, way, WAY too steep. Gotta give it a 1/5 because I can't see most of the game.

This is a fun card battle game with a good play style and creative and relatively well-balanced card design. There are only two significant flaws: the lack of any long-term progression (i.e., no way to earn/unlock new cards or abilities outside the immediate campaign) makes replay lose its luster after a while, and the arch duel system is incredibly frustrating. By frustrating, I mean that there is only one winning strategy (phoenixes), and there is no way to play an arch duel with a customized deck (meaning you have to reload constantly just to get the phoenix card). Ordinarily, I'd give the game 4/5, but I am so frustrated at having to play the same arch duel 30 times just to get one new achievement that I can only give 3/5.

Fun twist on standard TD, but has two big problems: (1) balance is off... the baton cops are so much stronger than the shooters and tanks it's kind of silly; and (2) no defined fan characteristics or upgrade values. Fixing those problems and polishing up the other li'l problems (windows blocking play area, tower target selection foolishness, etc.) will result in a very fun game. 4/5 for an interesting hour of play anyway!

This game suffers from a number of weird problems, ranging from the obtuse item system (six colors to show rarity when it could just say "level 1 item" or "level 6 item", random requirements and random enhancements on seemingly random weapons) to a bizarre "quest" structure which requires tedious grinding ON THE SAME DUNGEON LEVEL as your quest mob. That being said, it's still fun and I'm still at it. 4/5!

This is a relatively inventive, engaging CCG. As a single-player game, it's very fun... until you run out of your time-replenished "energy." It's only once you're in around level 20 that you realize what an utter waste of time this game is, since you only get to play a handful of missions (which takes all of 2-3 minutes) before having to wait over an hour and a half to play again. Of course, you can always waste your time on the "arena" option, but it isn't nearly as interesting as it sounds. So overall, is this game fun? No, sir. 1/5.

This game is very fun at normal difficulty, and has a good replay value thanks to the randomization of the city layout and events. However, Ms. Northway clearly doesn't understand the concept of percentages- when playing at "harder" or higher difficulties, your 3-4% risk missions result in death 20-30% of the time. So this is one of those rare games that I really loved (5/5) until the badges came out and I was forced to confront the higher difficulty levels, which are so sadistically frustrating that I now despise humanity and am happy the zombies win. 4/5.

It's a mystery to me why games like this get badges. In the instant case, the hard badge boils down to whether you are lucky enough to dodge the randomly-spawned gates and planes over your launching pad. If you can dodge all of them (bearing in mind that the slightest tap will lose the badge) until the camera finally zooms out enough for you to see a full 0.01 seconds ahead of you, you have a chance. This game should really be a 3/5 for its derivative play, but the frustrating badges makes it 2/5.
Great Game 1/5
May. 14, 2010
Bizarre meta-game. It's received a lot of praise because it supposedly sends a message to the gaming community about how they review games. Unfortunately, I come to Kong to have fun playing games, not to receive boring lectures via boring metagames. 1/5, with no irony.

Lukewarm TD with nothing original. Controls are relatively difficult, and the strategy typical of the genre. 2/5.
mini Tower Defence (mTD)
Mar. 27, 2010
This tower defense game doesn't bring anything new to the table, but it's smooth, functional, and challenging. Unfortunately, it requires grinding by repetition. I'd still give it a 4/5 among the genre, but have to give it a 2/5 because the (badge-getting-required) upgrades have non-cumulative costs. Again- grind, grind, grind. Stupid! 2/5.

I liked the idea of this game more than the execution; it's a good idea and makes for some interesting strategies. However, several of the levels require retardedly accurate timing, which is just no fun. 2/5.
Feb. 25, 2010
This is not a game. And despite some of the comments saying that it conveys a simple message in a touching way, it's actually just boring. I'll read a book if I want to get a message. 1/5.

For some reason, this game gets a badge despite being maddeningly annoying, unfun, and a demo to boot. 1/5.

Thanks to everyone who left a comment. Loved hearing from all of you, and now I have some more songs for future installments of Sexy Song Saturday! The winners of the books are: Marlena Fein and RaonaidLuckwell. I'll contact you both to get you your prizes! Also, please head over to R@R to see if you're a winner there!
The Hot Holiday Hop starts today in honor of J. Kenner's Release Me and Random House is giving away some great prizes! Julie's book is getting some really super reviews which I am very psyched about (18+ only, if you're considering it!).
But before we get to that, I also must mention that it is Sexy Song Saturday ("SSS")! I started my SSS feature earlier this year, and this is only its third installment (you can read the first and second ones, if you're interested). Because it's the holiday season, I'm going to deconstruct a holiday song—the famous Santa Baby.
Have a listen (sung by the inestimable Eartha Kitt), and check out the lyrics:
Santa Baby
Written by J. Javits and P. Springer
Santa Baby, slip a sable under the tree, For me.
been an awful good girl, Santa baby,
so hurry down the chimney tonight.
Santa baby, a 54 convertible too,
Light blue.
I'll wait up for you dear,
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight.
Think of all the fun I've missed,
Think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed,
Next year I could be just as good,
If you'll check off my Christmas list,
Santa baby, I wanna yacht,
And really that's not a lot,
Been an angel all year,
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight.
Santa honey, there's one thing I really do need,
The deed
To a platinum mine,
Santa honey, so hurry down the chimney tonight.
Santa cutie, and fill my stocking with a duplex,
And checks.
Sign your 'X' on the line,
Santa cutie, and hurry down the chimney tonight.
Come and trim my Christmas tree,
With some decorations bought at Tiffany's,
I really do believe in you,
Let's see if you believe in me,
Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing,
A ring.
I don't mean on the phone,
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight,
Hurry down the chimney tonight,
Hurry, tonight.
The song was written in 1953, is noteable for being one of the few hit Christmas songs written by someone with two x-chromosomes (go, Joan Javits!), and has been described as a tongue-in-cheek look at the Christmas list of a woman who wants extravagant gifts.
On first blush, and without hearing the song, you could certainly read it that way, but when you listen to the song, with all its "boo doo be doos," in the background and its pregnant pauses between lines, a different picture emerges.
First of all, the song is written as if she's talking to Santa…but is she really? I'm not so sure. Now, this might be sacrilegious, but what if Santa = sugar daddy? Sure, it can be in a holiday style, but I'm envisioning a man dressed up as Santa Claus (like in the old movies) sneaking around the house trying not to get caught by the kids. Santa's a "baby," a "honey," and a "cutie," and there are all those "other fellas that [she hasn't] kissed," which leads me to think that Santa really isn't Santa. This is especially true because of the lyrics of last two stanzas in general, and these two lines in particular:
Come and trim my Christmas tree,
With some decorations bought at Tiffany's
Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing,
A ring.
I don't mean on the phone
I won't get into the obvious double entendre of trimming one's tree (especially with the pause between that and the next line, leaving just enough space for the listener to wonder), but I will certainly discuss the "ring." I'm interpreting this as an engagement ring. It's the good-girl (but not really) as gold-digger ploy, I think. Plus, the breathless, "hurry, tonight," really nails it home.
So part of my reading of this song is Eartha Kitt's sex-kitten voice and part of it is that I'm convinced these are seriously suggestive lyrics. What do you think? Have I just completely spoiled an innocent holiday classic, or am I right on the money?
And now, what you've all been waiting for: the prizes! The Hot Holiday Hop runs from 12/1-12/10, and Random House is generously giving away:
Grand Prize $25 Gift Certificate to a retailer of your choice!
10 print copy winners of RELEASE ME, must be 18 or older!
15 Net Galley Preview copies of RELEASE ME, must be 18 or older!

Collected Wisdom: Van Shea Iven, owner and host of the Oklahoma High School Sports Express
Van Shea Iven's career started with a harmless phone call.
Following his freshman year at Oklahoma State, Iven called the KFOR sports department looking to help cover the summer's All-State games.
What happened next was a comical but key moment in the development of high school sports television coverage in Oklahoma.
Bob Barry Jr. answered the phone and then asked Robert Allen — while Iven could plainly hear him — if a kid can come help him that week or if he needs to get rid of him.
"I heard the whole thing," said Iven, a Pond Creek native. "Luckily, Robert hem-hawed around and told him to have me there at 9 the next morning."
That started a long tenure with the station before Iven left to start the Oklahoma High School Sports Express, which ends its eight-plus year run Sunday night with its final episode at 10:30 p.m. on Fox.
Iven has accepted a position with the Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association and he recently sat down with The Oklahoman to talk about his childhood, career and love for high school sports.
I had a great high school experience. We only had football, basketball, baseball and track, but in Pond Creek you did all four, which was fun. You might go to a track meet all day and then leave there at 4 and go play a baseball game in the evening, which was great.
I had no idea if I wanted to be a newspaper writer, if I wanted to be a coach, if I wanted to be a sports information director. I never thought about TV, that wasn't even an option, and I kind of stumbled into it.
I had no clue that's what I wanted to do. Still to this day don't know if that's what I wanted to do. I don't know whether to thank Robert Allen and Bob Barry Jr., or to cuss them.
Bob Sr., to get a chance to work with him was fantastic and he was so good to me, just like a second dad. To get a chance to work with "Mr. Sports "in Oklahoma as far as television is concerned and then Bob Barry Jr., it was fantastic.
My favorite thing was always high school because I had such a good experience playing high school sports. I realized when the Hornets came here I could see the writing on the wall. I didn't know it was going to turn into a full-time franchise, but there were rumblings.
I could see where high school was going to get left out. I had some coaches and athletic directors and parents always say you should do something like this, so I kind of got the ball rolling and talked to some people.
I was at Channel 4 for 17 years. I loved it. I could have stayed there 17 more. I could still be there today and not have any problems with it. But I wish I would have started the Express 10 years earlier.
The reason I started the show also was for the smaller schools and the smaller sports. To a slowpitch softball player's parents in Hinton, them winning a state title in slowpitch softball is every bit as important as it is to the Jenks quarterback's parents for him to win a state championship.
When you get to the smaller schools and show up for a game, the mayor may be taking tickets at the gate, the bank president may be flipping burgers in the concession stand and a farmer may be on the PA. Then when you go to the coffee shop on Monday morning, Tuesday morning, Wednesday morning and Thursday morning that's all the talk. Everybody's involved and everybody's a part of it.
You don't have to be Kevin Durant to play high school basketball. Anybody can go out and if you're in the right situation, you don't have to be a great player. An average player can play a huge role in high school basketball or any sport in high school.
It's neat to have people come up and say they enjoy my show or something, but it's also neat for me to get a chance (to do the show) because I know for this cross country kid at Plainview or this soccer player at Santa Fe South or this swimmer from Kingfisher this is probably their only chance to be on TV.
If I still wasn't married or didn't have a newborn, the Express would be starting Season 18 in August and I would be loving it. I still love it. I've got the last show Sunday night and I'm putting as much effort into it as I did the first show in 2006. I've had a chance to follow thousands of kids and get a chance to follow their careers, get them on TV and make them feel important, but now my job is more to make a 7-month-old feel important.
It sounds probably a little stupid, but if it's just rocking him to sleep or taking him outside to grab a leaf on a tree, that's pretty cool to me.
