Variable ED8B : Grade of education attended last year
Type: Continuous
Format: numeric
Width: 2
Decimal(s): 0
Range: 0-99
Valid case(s): 10457 (10467)
Invalid: 32236 (32251.9)
Minimum: 0
Maximum: 98
File: hl
De jure household members (usual residents) aged 5-24
Source of information
Head of household or other responsible household member
Warning: these figures indicate the number of cases found in the data file. They cannot be interpreted as summary statistics of the population of interest.
For household members age 5-24 years
Literal question
During that previous school year, which level and grade did (name) attend?
Interviewer instructions
For each household member 5-24 years of age (this includes those age 5 and age 24), ask questions ED4-ED8, which inquire about school attendance. While the ideal respondent for these questions would be the mother or primary caretaker, any adult member of the household may provide the information. Since questions from ED4 to ED8 refer to school attendance, they will have to be adapted to the situation at the time of the interview. All questions should be retained. However, the wording and coding will have to be changed. The objective of these questions is to capture the school attendance of household members in two consecutive school years. In the explanations below, information is provided on how this can be tackled. --- Circle the code for the level of school attended and fill in the child's grade or enter '8' if the respondent doesn't know the level and/or '98' if the respondent doesn't know the grade. If the child was in pre-school or kindergarten, and grades are not used, omit the grade.

Is there any way of making the front drum brake any better - it is vaguely alarming having the bike take forever to stop. How best does one adjust the thing to grab the drum harder..
I wimped out.. just ordered the Disc Brake, as consolation to not being able to have the electric start.
In a heart beat, if it would fit. I was told they don't interchange. Why on earth would any one want the opportunity of stalling at a left hand turn, with traffic going nuts around you, and the bike saying "no way.. I want a rest" That is what the kick start is all about. I would happily kill for a button to press.

State of Logistics 2013: Ocean
July 01, 2013 - LM Editorial
Lars Jensen, CEO and Partner with SeaIntel Maritime Analysis in Copenhagen, notes that one of the most important developments in the past month has been the rapid decline in spot rates—particularly on the Asia-Europe trade lanes
"The situation is slightly more benign in the trans-Pacific trade, at least when the magnitude of the rate decline is considered," says Jensen. However, in reality we see that the partially successful general rate increase [GRI] on the trans-Pacific was entirely eliminated in just three weeks this past spring."
According to Jensen, it's clear that both carriers and shippers are facing "troubled times." Despite rates having fallen by 41 percent since the beginning of 2013, carriers are poised to increase capacity from Asia to East Coast South America by more than 20 percent—seemingly a recipe for continued rate declines.
"Additionally, we continue to see carriers place new orders for ultra-large container vessels," says Jensen. "It's in this troubled minefield of overcapacity, combined with new fuel efficient vessels that carriers need to make profits in the coming years. Cumulatively the carriers have lost almost $7 billion in the past 4 years, and clearly such a trend cannot continue indefinitely."
Who will then stand to be the winners of what appears to be a protracted war of attrition? Based on developments in the past decade, the winners will need a solid combination of three factors, say SeaIntel analysts:
1) Access to additional capital.
2) Access to a fleet predominantly made up of new fuel-efficient vessels.
3) An operational and organizational setup resulting in the lowest unit costs in the market.
"Looking at 2012 annual accounts, clearly some carriers appear to be off to a better start than others; however this is not a sprint, it's a marathon, and the winners may not yet have emerged from the pack," says Jenson.
Meanwhile, business for more bulk and breakbulk carriers may be heating up as China's demand for coal continues to accelerate.
The influence of U.S. coal exports on seaborne transportation has grown significantly over the past decade. In 2002, the U.S. exported 20.1 million tons by sea, but in 2012 that number had increased to 106.7 million tons.
The effect on shipping has multiplied due to the fact that much of the demand growth has come from East Asian countries. With a large part of the U.S. Coal destined for East Asia being shipping out of the U.S. East Coast ports, this will increase the demand for tonnage.
As a consequence, the transportation demand stemming from U.S. coal exports has surged from 84.7 billion ton-miles in 2002 to an estimated 707.3 billion ton-miles in 2012—representing 835% growth over the period.
"In comparison, the Chinese coal imports in 2012 accounted for an estimated 697.6 billion ton-miles of demand for seaborne transportation, says Peter Sand, chief shipping analyst at the Copenhagen-based consultancy BIMCO. "This means the U.S. coal exports were more important to the dry bulk shipping market than the Chinese coal imports in 2012."

Bill LoperDirector, Government Affairs
The editor has asked me to create a report that describes the lifecycle of AUSA's grassroots work from the creation of the annual resolutions to the creation of the next set of resolutions.
The resolutions are produced annually and act as the basis for our legislative objectives for the year. Chapters or individual members can submit proposed resolutions until July of each year.
The National Resolutions Committee membership, usually numbering about 14 AUSA members, is nominated by chapters and approved by the Council of Trustees.
The committee meets in Washington for three days before the Annual Meeting, and receives briefings from the Army staff.
The draft resolutions are voted on by the chapters and are then published and sent to every member of Congress, the media and opinion leaders.
What is grassroots activity? The dictionary definition is: "involvement in the political process by an elected representative's constituent through contact with the elected representative or a staff member."
Why is grassroots activity important to AUSA? Well, much of the power of an organization comes from the number of members it has and what they are willing to do.
AUSA has over 108,000 members, but we don't have the power and organization of a political party through which to funnel our legislative objectives.
Also, because AUSA is a non-profit, educational organization, it does not have a political action committee that can make monetary contributions which increase access to politicians.
What AUSA does have are those 108,000-plus members and the contact they can make with their members of Congress.
What are the keys to successful grassroots activity? Individuals locally who are informed about the issues, involved in the community and influential with community and state officials including the local congressional office.
Members and chapters may send letters to members of Congress, using the AUSA Web site or snail mail.
They can also visit the local congressional office, make speeches at local events to get the AUSA point of view out to influencers in the community or invite influencers to speak at AUSA events.
Letters to the editor and op-ed pieces are also ways to help foster AUSA legislative goals.
Activities like these also earn chapters a "Take the Hill" streamer.
AUSA national headquarters assists by producing a clear, coherent message through the resolutions and messages from AUSA president, Gen. Gordon R. Sullivan, USA, Ret., providing information on the Web site, sending out legislative alerts, and engaging with members of Congress and their staffs in Washington.
We use the electronic legislative newsletter, published each Monday while Congress is in session, AUSA NEWS columns – like Capitol Focus, View from the Hill, Voice of Congress and the Bill Box – and the Legislative Action Center where prepared letters are available for AUSA members to send to their representatives.
AUSA's chapters are located world-wide. Their mission is to support our Soldiers and the civilians and families who work alongside of them in the local community. To learn how you can become involved click here.

Membership is open to all components of the Army, families, government civilians, companies and concerned citizens. To join click here.

Here is Jupiter from Friday night, the weather in the UK has been very poor but Friday was a rare clear night, albeit very moist.
I recently upgraded my telescope to an Orion Optics OD300 and this was its first proper outing. The image through my Binoviewers was big and bright, much better than with the SPX200, and when the (pretty poor) seeing cooperated briefly there was plenty of crisp and bold detail to be seen. I loved observing the detail in the Southern Equatorial Belt, the Great Red Spot, Oval BA and the white spots in the STB, and I spent most of my time on these areas, but I did sketch the rest of the disc when the seeing was not so good.
Sadly the azimuth bearing on the new scope is a bit stiff and jerky making manual tracking whilst sketching at high power a bit of a challenge, and there is a bit of off-axis coma (could be the barlow I am misusing as an OCA) and the secondary needs a heater to stop it dewing up because I live in a marsh, so I had to keep hairdryering it. So with all these things combined I reckon I got about 30 seconds of premium observing time in the 45 minutes I was at the eyepiece.
Anyway, I will be making an EQ platform, installing some ball transfer bearings into the azimuth axis, and making a secondary mirror heater, so on my next outing, Jupiter had better watch out!

The intriguing battle royale between Maria Sharapova and the WTA Tour continues...
Doing her best impression of a savvy poitician (Hillary or Barack?), the Russian seems committed to firing up her base through her blog now that she's realized the power and accessibility of new media, even blasting the diva-esque behavior of some executives:
I am sure many of you can tell that I am just a little frustrated with a couple of tour executives who don't ever listen to the players and want to do their own thing. For a sport that has so much potential to grow and get bigger, you would think that the players voice would be important but unfortunately that's not the case. They just do whatever they want and tell us what to do and how to do it. And on top of that walk around like they're the stars.The ballsy Maria is so confident about her stance, she even admits trying to fake a reason for pulling out of Berlin (so as to not get fined):
I have tried to work with them, I have attended numerous amounts of meetings throughout the years, but they just do what they want and threaten to fine me. So since they will not listen to me, I am going to start giving my fans a behind the scenes look at life on tour...let the fun begin! I also want to thank everyone for voting...the number of people voting was way beyond our expectations.
I got a really bad viral infection with a big fever and that I have to get on antibiotics...how original! I know I'm always against those things, but I kind of had no other choice because I haven't been that sick in a while. Quite ironic, as a few days before that I was trying to come up with some 'excuse' for pulling out of Berlin...Forcing ballers into lying? Take that WTA Tour! But it seems Maria has one more surprise for us:
There is also one other thing that I am soo excited to report but have to keep my mouth shut...you just have to wait a couple weeks. xx MariaWhat could that be - retirement, pregnancy, marrying secret love Nole??? Oh, you're such a tease Masha.

Red List Workshop on the Mediterranean butterflies
18 February 2013 | Event
Over 30 experts coming from 19 countries worked together to determine the conservation status of Mediterranean butterflies according to the IUCN Red List criteria.
From the 25th to the 28th of February, the Botanic Garden of Malaga welcomed a workshop of experts to establish the first Red List of Mediterranean butterflies, according to the criteria and categories of the IUCN Red List, based on the analysis of available information. The workshop was organized by the IUCN Centre for Mediterranean Cooperation. It was inaugurated by the deputy mayor and delegate of the Environment and Sustainability Department of Malaga, Ana Navarro, and the director of IUCN-Med, Antonio Troya.
Over 30 experts from the university and scientific field, coming from 19 countries, worked together for three days in the frame of this workshop, analyzing the information currently available on nearly 400 species of Mediterranean butterflies. Almost 9% of the butterflies in Europe are threatened, and the latest data shows that one third of European butterflies are in decline.
Butterflies are famous not only for their beauty but also because they are important indicators of the state of biodiversity and environmental health. Moreover, they play a significant role in ecosystems, mainly because they pollinate numerous plants. According to a study by the Centre for Ecological Research and Forestry Applications and the Museum of Natural Sciences of Granollers, an easily observable migratory species such as the thistle butterfly, Vanessa Cardui, can travel up to 6500 km from North Africa.
The greatest threat to butterflies is the destruction of their habitats or of the links between their habitats due to changes in agricultural practices, whether it be intensification or abandonment. Other significant threats are climate change, the frequency and intensity of fires and the development of tourism. An appropriate habitat management could improve the conservation status of these valuable species.
The categories and criteria of the IUCN Red List have been created to classify species facing a high risk of extinction at regional and/or international level. They are currently worldwide reference tools for species conservation. IUCN Red Lists provide information and analysis on species situation, evolution and threats in order to inform and trigger actions to preserve biodiversity.
Since 2006, the IUCN Centre for Mediterranean Cooperation has contributed to the assessment of the conservation status of 3000 Mediterranean species. This workshop is part of an ambitious initiative launched in 2011 to evaluate some 2800 species of plants and invertebrates.

I have owned the Nomad. Not a bad scope for the money. It suffers from mediocre resolution, and shows significant Chromatic Aberration (CA). The Theron utilizes an Extra Low Dispersion (ED) Objective to cut down on CA.
You know how birders are about their optics. Here is a birder's take comparing the Saker to a much more expensive Nikon Fieldscope:

|Abrams Brothers kick off 2013-14 concert series
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
|Wednesday, 23 October 2013 12:24
The Abrams Brothers are set to kick off the first of four shows put on by the Phillips County Arts Council as a part of their annual concert season. Performing their musical mixture of bluegrass, country and folkrock, the group will take the stage Sunday, Nov. 3 at 7:30 p.m. at the Holyoke High School auditorium.
Live performances for the group date back to when they were as young as 11 and 9 years old. The Abrams Brothers grew up playing music in an atmosphere where generational family musical collaborations are tradition.
Comprised of Joñ (vocals and guitar), James (vocals and fiddle) and cousin Elijah (bass), this young Ontario, Canada-based Americana/bluegrass band pairs a rich musical background with a youthful exuberance.
The Abrams Brothers are fourth-generation musicians with musical roots reaching back to their great-grandparents. Despite their age (early 20s), they have been touring together for more than a decade, and in the past few years have become Canadian Festival favorites.

Item # SCH000B
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Mountain 26" Tubeless Tires in stock than that.View Similar Products
Schwalbe Fat Albert EVO Snakeskin 26in TL Tire $0.00
Schwalbe's all-condition, all-weather 26in tire, the Fat Albert EVO Snakeskin TL, uses a race-developed Evolution carcass to place it on the lighter end of the trail-tire spectrum. Achieving a sub-800 gram 2.4-inch tire is no easy accomplishment, and it often leads to compromises in critical areas like sidewall protection.
However, this isn't the case for the Fat Albert EVO, because it uses Schwalbe's Snakeskin technology. This means that the sidewalls are reinforced with a crosshatched pattern that makes it less vulnerable to pinches and tears. Conversely this makes tubeless installation much easier due to the Snakeskin sidewall being more malleable than a dual-wall tire.
On the other hand, like dual-wall tires -- and given the Fat Albert's name -- this tire has serious volume that allows for large, well-spaced lugs that shed mud, yet confidently bite without any excessive flexing. Additionally, there are a mix of perpendicular split and angled knobs along the center, with angled side knobs for positive traction when leaning into turns.
The tread patterns are slightly modified for front and rear specific patterns that improve efficiency and handling. Also, the rubber compounds are specific for front and rear applications. At the front is Schwalbe's TrailStar formula that maximizes control with a dual compound featuring softer rubber along the sides. The Rear is treated with the durable PaceStar compound. This ensures that tire wear is consistent between the two tires, and that traction is balanced for neutral handling.
The Schwalbe Fat Albert EVO Snakeskin 26 TL Tire is available individually as either a 26x2.25 or 26x2.4in Front or Rear Tire. Please note that this tire is also tubeless ready.

Does anybody know if being "tubeless ready"...
Does anybody know if being "tubeless ready" makes this tire UST compatible without sealant? Thinking about mounting this tire up to my CrossMax SXs. I'm using a UST Maxxis on the rear now with no sealant at all. Also any problems with Stan's and this tire?
My Yeti ASR7 came with these tires, I used them with Stans sealant and in a Mavic Crossline wheels. The tires are very hard to pedal, too much drag for my like, I cut after the fron of the knobs in angle and solved a lot the issue. Hope this help you dude.

Is the swivel capability worth the extra $100? or would I not miss it in the real world?
That's a difficult question to answer. I personally never gave a 2nd stage swivel a single thought or felt it necessary over the course of many years of diving. Until I bought a Z2X. Now I find that swivel to be a product I'd add to any regulator and dislike the pull of the hose on a regulator not equipped with one.
Do you stock the "sealed" version, part no. 03-0080-6P. I understand this model is for cold water diving.
Atomic Aquatics Z2x Regulator
Why Zirconium?
The "Z" designation is represented by the use of Zirconium as plating material for the precision machined Brass valve body. Atomic developed a Zirconium over Chrome over Brass plating process to deliver corrosion-resistance 3-4 times that of conventional chrome plating. The Z Series second stage lever, orifice and spring are Titanium.
Atomic Performance Plus Economy
Designing affordability doesn't mean using shortcuts
The Z Series is our most compact and economical regulator system. But its rare combination of performance, ergonomics and materials is unmatched by competitors at any price. The Z Series gives divers the assurance of the same Limited Lifetime Warranty as all Atomic regulators.
First Stage:
First stage materials are chrome plated Brass and 316 Stainless Steel
Atomic Jet Seat high-flow piston first stage
Optional factory-sealed first stage to prevent outside contamination such as silt and sand
Nitrox ready for mixtures up to 40%
First stage ports available in 2 HP fixed / 7 LP on fixed cap
Second Stage:
Second stage components are made of precision machined Brass with Zirconium plating and Titanium
Z2x has a Brass Atomic Comfort Swivel
Patented Atomic Seat Saving Orifice (Titanium)
Patented Atomic Automatic Flow Control (AFC)
Rapid adjustment knob for manual second stage de-tuning in special situations
A new high-flow second stage case that significantly lowers breathing effort at any depth from shallow water to beyond the limits
Dual material second stage cover enables entire front to be used for purge
Dual silicone comfort fit mouthpiece with tear-resistant bite tabs
2 year/300 dive service interval
Limited Lifetime Warranty – not contingent on proof of service
Here are some important answers to frequent questions regarding Atomic regulators...
What is Natural Breathing?
Atomic Aquatics has achieved what no other manufacturer has in a high-performance regulator – Natural Breathing. All Atomic regulators breathe with a natural and controlled air delivery sensation at any depth or breathing rate. Inhalation on the surface will feel the same as it does during your deepest dive. This is in part due to the AFC (Automatic Flow Control) employed in our second stages. This patented innovation is a simple device that adjusts the airflow automatically to compensate for the effects of depth. Atomic Aquatics regulators are the smoothest breathing regulators available...period.
What are the diving benefits of Titanium?
First, it is unbelievably lightweight which reduces stress during your dive and makes it a perfect travel regulator. Second, Titanium has no equal for corrosion resistance which means more safety, reliability and repeatable performance. And finally, its beautiful appearance stands apart from any other regulator.
Unparalleled light weight means less stress
In our mission to invigorate the diving experience, the first priority is on reducing stress – travel stress, gearing-up stress, jaw-clinch stress. The best way is to use the lightest material possible. But light weight must never compromise strength or durability. Titanium is the perfect solution. When you hold a Titanium Atomic regulator in your hand, you immediately realize the difference from other regulators. That means less stress for you from packing your gear bag, to donning, to even the final minutes of a long dive.
At first glance the Atomic Z2 and Z2x 1st Stage looks similar to one of several similar first stages on the market the past few years. It offers 2 high pressure ports and 7 low pressure ports offering a wide range of possibilities when it comes to the comfortable set up of your gear. This is where the similarities end. The Z2/Z2x first stage uses a different combination of materials in its construction all aimed at a offering the diver the highest performance in all uses and the lowest maintenance possible. Atomic utilizes a patented plating process of Zirconium over Chrome over Brass that offers corrosion resistance superior to any other regulator on the market. The process is also stronger than the normal plating process used by most manufacturers which will lengthen the regulators potential lifespan by resisting nicks and scratches that can often lead to flaking of the plating on other regulators. Not too shabby for an economical choice.
Internally this first stage delivers consistent air to the diver with a balanced flow-through piston that will offer the same intermediate pressure with each breath at the deepest depths or lowest tank pressures of your dive. The high pressure piston uses a seal system that is self lubricating that is designed to minimize the friction in this critical part and reduce wear and tear and in turn maintenance costs for the regulators owner.
And as if all of this technology and innovation in the Atomic 1st Stages wasn't enough, their 2nd Stages are packed with one feature after the next all geared towards ease of breathing, longevity of the piece of equipment and low maintenance. The Z2x second stage uses an adjustable, pneumatically balanced poppet incorporated into a portion of the regulator that many manufacturers are looking for ways to cut corners and reduce costs in materials. Here, Atomic leads the way by using Titanium and Kevlar in key common parts. For most manufacturers that would be enough ammunition to light up the advertising and begin singing of their praises from the local mountain tops, but not with Atomic. They pressed on with redesigning two other important pieces in the 2nd stage that turned out to be so successful they were awarded patents for their efforts! The Seat Saving Dynamic Orifice was designed to reduce wear and tear on the low pressure seat and in turn increase the high performance of the second stage for the diver by making sure the orifice only comes into contact with the low pressure seat when the regulator is pressurized. The other innovation is their Automatic Flow Control. Most every manufacturer of regulators offer some sort of a venturi switch in their second stages designed to reduce breathing resistance and help with the opening of the valve that delivers air to the diver when they inhale. At Atomic they've perfected this into a pressure sensing, self-adjusting device that regulates the delivery of the diver's air with every breath adjusting for increased pressure the deeper the diver descends. No more switches or dials to get that perfect breath of air! One last feature that the Z2x offers is the patented comfort swivel hose that allows for 30 degrees of rotation without kinking your hose.
A purchase of either the Z2 or Z2x it is fairly certain you'll have a regulator built to last forever offering the performance of choices costing twice what you paid. This regulator is destined to be a "can't miss" for years to come

I'M LOVIN' IT :)I got this product today n used it for first time. Really a good one, worth the price. Dont expect much from a 739 bucks shaver when the average shaver market is playing around Rs. 2000-5000 range. People say 'you get what you pay for' but this shaver is something from 'you are getting more than you pay for'.

Tampa, FL (AP) - Martin St. Louis had two goals, including the deciding tally early in the third period, and an assist as the Tampa Bay Lightning opened their season with a 6-3 victory over the Washington Capitals at Tampa Bay Times Forum.
Eric Brewer also scored twice, while Vincent Lecavalier and Cory Conacher added a goal apiece for the Lightning, who fell to the Boston Bruins in seven games in the second round of last season's playoffs.
Anders Lindback stopped 27 shots in the victory.
Joel Ward netted a pair of goals and Wojtek Wolski added another tally for Washington. Braden Holtby allowed all six Tampa goals on 34 shots to spoil the coaching debut of recent Hall of Fame inductee Adam Oates.

Where I hunt the bucks usually go into the aspen stands (probably in most places through the west). Especially the big boys and they don't come out very long of we see them come out. I have still hunted the stands but am wondering if there is another tactic?? The stands usually have some open areas in side where they feed and stretch et.. I get the wind in my favor but I feel as though I am not being productive when I go to enter a stand. And I can't use my grandpas suggestion by shooting in front of them to redirect them lol. Thanks!

This looks like it would fit nicely with my current setup. I like being able to place a sound bar in a spot made for it.
BDI Cavo 8168 Home Theater Cabinet Sweepstakes
According to the company:
With the advent of flat panel TVs, soundbars have become staples in home theater design. But finding a way to integrate that soundbar seamlessly into your overall system display has proven tricky. The CAVO flat panel TV console directly addresses this need and is the latest home theater innovation from BDI.
Designed by Matthew Weatherly, the clever frame-within-a-frame design provides a wide, open top platform that is the perfect home for a soundbar. Not only does it provide adequate space for these long, narrow speakers, the open platform evenly and completely disperses sound, providing the best audio experience available with a soundbar system.
The inner frame of CAVO houses electronic components on adjustable shelves, neatly concealed behind IR-friendly tempered-glass doors with soft-close hinges. Open side compartments provide additional space for easy access to a game console and/or media. Integrated wire management channels keep cables organized, and removable panels in the back allow for easy access to wires and connections, making setup and maintenance of your system a breeze. Flow-through ventilation slots in the base, shelves and back keep air moving and promote component life.
BDI is pleased to give one lucky reader the CAVO 8168 in the finish of his or her choice—natural walnut, graphite and espresso stained oak. This model is 27″ high and 58″ wide and safely accommodates up to a 60″ flat panel TV. The 8168's slim design (only 16″ deep) makes it perfect for medium-sized home theater systems or anyplace space is limited.
CAVO, like all BDI products, is as hardworking as it is attractive, with adjustability and accessibility playing a key role in the design. All BDI products are unique, functional and beautiful pieces that enrich the home environment, seamlessly integrating technology into the living space with thoughtful, purposeful design.

Testimony :: Honorable Ben Cardin
Commissioner - Helsinki Commission
Mr. Chairman, I want to begin by thanking you for calling this hearing on property restitution in Central and Eastern Europe, with a particular focus on the state of affairs for American claimants. During this hearing I hope we will examine the restitution and compensation programs established by OSCE participating states, with a particular focus on whether these programs are being implemented according to the rule of law.
After World War II, Mr. Chairman, many Eastern European countries fell under communist control, which led to the denial of basic civil rights and civil liberties for many citizens. Many Holocaust survivors faced a second injustice when communist regimes pursued forced collectivization and mass confiscations of property.
After 1990 many of us in Congress were hopeful that the new democracies would redress some of the wrongs committed many decades ago, including the wrongful seizure of private and communal property. Unfortunately, we have not seen much progress on these issues since the Helsinki Commission last held hearings on this subject in 1996 and 1999. Efforts to return property to former owners have been uneven and often unsuccessful, with practices varying from country to country. No country to date has adopted a "model" law, and the laws that have been adopted are subject to legitimate criticism on a number of grounds. For example, many property restitution laws discriminate on the basis of: residence, citizenship, temporal restrictions, or geographic restrictions. In other countries, Mr. Chairman, the law is not being implemented by the state or being respected by the courts, or cases are unduly prolonged in the judicial system. Furthermore, many countries treat religious communities differently, and give preference to one religion over another. In some countries, such as the former Soviet Republics, no legal framework at all exists for restitution.
In December 2000, Mr. Chairman, I was pleased to assist a constituent of mine, Jacqueline Waldman, in reclaiming her family home that was confiscated during World War II under laws used to deprive Jews of property. During World War II, Aryan Laws were used to seize property and other valuables from Jews and other minority groups. In 1940, using the Aryan Laws, the Romanian government confiscated the property from Mrs. Waldman's father. Since that time, the home has been used by the Romanian government.
In her effort to regain the home, four Romanian courts declared her the "rightful heir"
and ordered the home returned to her. Each time, Romanian officials refused to return the home and appealed the case, once even arguing that the Fascist-era laws used to seize the home were valid when the property was seized, and, therefore, were still valid. In July 1999, Mr. Chairman, I traveled with a Helsinki Commission delegation to Romania and presented Romanian President Emil Constantinescu with a personal letter urging the Romanian government to accept the decisions of Romanian courts returning the home to Mrs. Waldman. The Romanian government subsequently agreed to stop appealing the case and return the property to Mrs. Waldman.
Jacqueline Waldman is a strong woman who would not let an injustice stand. I admire her greatly and I am delighted that the Romanian government decided to do the right thing. Unfortunately, we all know, there are too many situations similar to Mrs. Waldman's. My hope is that Mrs. Waldman's case will encourage them to keep up the fight for what is rightfully theirs. Mr. Chairman, the Helsinki Commission must also speak out on behalf of these victims and the terrible injustices that occurred over a half a century ago.
Mr. Speaker, I look forward to hearing from our panel of distinguished witnesses today, including the Special Envoy for Holocaust Issues from the U.S. State Department, as well as representatives who work on property restitution issues in Poland, the Czech Republic, Romania, and Germany.

That's an actual word—it's the name given to the cottage industry that sprung up around Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's original Sherlock Holmes stories, of films and television shows and even other stories written by different people. Anything Sherlock Holmes-adjacent is part of Sherlockiana, which means Comic-Con now has a footnote in the Sherlock Holmes encyclopedia, as Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss, co-creators and writers of the BBC's Sherlock, as well as producer Sue Vertue, appeared at Comic-Con on Friday to discuss series three.

Those are cute! We have a love/hate relationship with Spongebob. He IS pretty funny, but he's got my little boy threatening to kick everyone's butt, like Flats the Flounder....
BTW, my 17 month old daughter tries to sing along with the opening song.

Omgoodness... Love it! Yes I agree... may as well have given them dime bags. I have a certain kind of hate for Sponge Bob and his cronies. It is right up there with Yo Gabba Gabba, and the Wiggles.
But wow! Your dd is impressively creative! I love what she did and I think that it may have been worth the weekend of sponge bob to get that adorable set. :)

Oh, I (I mean the girls) love Spongebob! It's one of those shows that I know uses some words I don't like the kids to hear (stupid, etc). But for the most part, it's really fun to watch.
I never thought of making felt board pieces of them, but that's a GREAT idea.

San Francisco, CA (Sports Network) - Kevin Foster tallied his first-career
double-double with 27 points and 10 rebounds as the Santa Clara Broncos
dismissed the San Francisco Dons, 85-54, in West Coast Conference action at
Memorial Gymnasium.
Foster shot 6-of-10 from 3-point range for Santa Clara (13-6, 2-3 WCC), which
snapped a three-game losing streak. Raymond Cowels III drained five treys on
his way to a season-high 17 points. Evan Roquemore added 10 points, five
assists and three steals, while Marc Trasolini grabbed 11 rebounds.
For San Francisco (7-11, 0-5), Matt Christiansen was the only player in double
figures with 12 points. The Dons are still winless in conference play and have
lost 10 of their last 12 overall.
Santa Clara shot just 37.5 percent from the field in the first half, but it
was able to hold San Francisco to only 30.8 percent shooting, as it took a
35-24 advantage at intermission.
The Broncos' field goal efficiency shot up to a lofty 64.5 percent after
halftime, and their lead was never in doubt.
San Francisco shot just 3-of-19 from beyond the arc, a far cry from Santa
Clara's 14-of-30 showing from 3-point land.
With his performance, Foster moved to fourth place on the WCC's all-time
scoring list, surpassing Loyola Marymount's Forrest McKenzie and his 2,060

PHOTOS: Florida's rejected license plates aren't always offensive
WEBSTER, N.Y. (USA TODAY) - A gunman ambushed firefighters at a house fire in the Rochester suburb of Webster, N.Y., early Monday, killing two firemen and injuring two others before killing himself on a Lake Ontario beach.
Seven homes were destroyed as firefighters waited for police to secure the scene.
The gunman, who shot himself at the scene, was identified as 62-year-old William Spengler. He was charged in 1980 with beating his 92-year-old grandmother to death with a hammer in her home next door.
AUDIO: Emergency dispatches from the Webster, N.Y., shooting
Spengler served 17 years in New York State prison on manslaughter charges, police officials said. He was on probation until 2006 and reportedly had lived quietly with his mother, who died in October, and sister at 191 Lake Road, along a sliver of land between Irondequoit Bay and the lake.
Spengler's 67-year-old sister, Cheryl, remains unaccounted for.
Spengler apparently set fire to the home and a vehicle to lure firefighters, whom he shot from a berm nearby. Police have have not determined a motive for the arson and killings, nor have they released details about the weapons Spengler used or possessed. As a convicted felon, he could not legally own firearms.
Police Chief Gerald Pickering, choking up frequently as he spoke to reporters, said all four firefighters who responded to the call at 5:35 a.m. ET came under fire when they drove up.
The dead are Webster Police Lt. Mike Chiapperini, 43, a volunteer firefighter and the police department's public information officer, and Tomasz Kaczowka, 19, who worked as a 911 dispatcher for Monroe County. Chiapperini was named "Firefighter of the Year" two weeks ago.
"It is a very difficult situation," Pickering said, his voice quavering.
"People get up in the middle of the night to fight fires," he said. "They don't expect to be shot and killed."
He said Chiapperini "took public service to the nth degree. He was all about giving back to the community. When he wasn't working as a police officer he was always the first on the truck."
Kaczowka, who joined the 125-volunteer West Webster Fire Department a year ago, was substituting for older members so they could be home with their families for Christmas.
"He didn't have to be there," said Al Sienkiewicz, a former chief and department now spokesman. "He was bunking in voluntarily so others could stay at home."
The 911 center's director said he was ""everyone's little brother" and would often bring desserts his mother made.
The injured firefighters are Joseph Hofsetter and Theodore Scardino. Hofsetter suffered a severe injury to his pelvis. Scardino was shot in the left shoulder, with the bullet hitting his lung. An off-duty police officer who was driving by at the time also was injured by flying shrapnel.
A Facebook page was set up in honor of the Webster first-responders.
Pickering said Spengler had staked out a position with an arsenal of several firearms on a berm overlooking the scene.
"It appears that it was a trap," Pickering said. "There was a car in a house that was engulfed in flames, probably set by Mr. Spengler, who lay in wait with his armaments and shot the first responders."
"Looking at his history, obviously this is an individual who has a lot of problems, who killed his grandmother, and I'm sure there were mental health issues," Pickering said.
Spengler told police he hit his grandmother, Rose Spengler, with a hammer during an argument. He then went home and told his mother, who found her body at the bottom of the basement stairs. He also reportedly talked about suicide after confessing to a detective.
As his trial for second-degree murder was beginning in July 1981, Spengler pleaded guilty to manslaughter, telling the judge he wanted to spare his family "the pain of a trial."
Pickering said the 911 call early Monday was apparently called in by a resident in the neighborhood of small lakeside vacation homes.
At West Webster Fire Department, the flag outside was lowered to half-staff.
"These firemen are part of our family. You go into a fire with these guys. To see them go down with something like this is totally unexpected. We are in shock," said fire district commissioner Billy Gross.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo said the State Police and Office of Emergency Management were working with local authorities.
"Volunteer firefighters and police officers were injured, and two were taken from us as they once again answered the call of duty," Cuomo said in a statement. "We as the community of New York mourn their loss as now two more families must spend the holidays without their loved ones."
Harold Schaitberger, president of the International Association of Fire Fighters, issued a statement calling the calculated shooting of firefighters "both senseless and cruel."
"The firefighters who responded today were performing a selfless, meaningful service to their community, unaware that a cold-hearted maniac was planning to ambush them and take their lives," the statement said. "Coming on the heels of the horrific tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut, and on Christmas Eve, this shooting is even harder to comprehend."
Webster resident Michael Damico was among those neighbors who were evacuated.
"The whole strip's been evacuated," he said. "They're evacuating all of the houses and going through them."
Damico's son woke him up around 8 a.m. to tell him about the fire that was burning down the street.
"We looked out the window and we saw the SWAT team and everyone around," he said.
"Some people on this bus already watched their houses burn," Damico said. "They're not happy."
The village of Webster, with a population of about 5,000, is located in the center of the town of Webster, where more than 42,000 people live northeast of Rochester, along Lake Ontario.
Firefighter shootings over the years
Instances of firefighters shot and killed while responding to a fire or other emergency incident are relatively rare.
A gunman in 2008 killed firefighter Ryan Hummert, 22, and wounded two police officers as they responded to a pickup truck and house fire in Maplewood, a St. Louis suburb. Later that year, a carjacker shot and killed off-duty St. Louis firefighter Leonard Riggins, who saw a car wreck and stopped to help, not knowing that the armed carjacker had crashed the car.
Roswell, N.M., Fire Chief Steven Jones, 46, died in March 2002, after responding to a structure fire. As Jones approached the house, a man began firing, hitting Jones in the head and killing a paramedic. The shooter, a man with a history of mental illness, had set the fire, killed a neighbor, shot the neighbor's 3-year-old son and took a 5-year-old child hostage, before killing himself, according to a report from the Roswell Fire Department.
Freile, with The Rochester (N.Y.) Democrat and Chronicle, reported from Webster; Stanglin, from McLean, VA. USA TODAY's Donna Leinwand Leger and Michael Winter contributed.
