The X.9 utilizes SRAM's famous shifting technology in a super-light, slim chassis. The X.9 sets the standard for performance, weight, materials and good looks.
SRAM rear derailleurs work best in conjunction with SRAM front derailleurs.

Delivers the SRAM quality you would expect!
Excellent derailleur. Durable, Reliable, excellent performance. Great price here as well.
Light, extremely stiff, and stands up to a lot of abuse without much worry. The chrome is super cool too -- nice to see where everything else is usually a matte ball-peen finish.
Swapped the shimano components on my Trek Fuel EX 8 for some SRAM x9 and couldn't be happier. No more chain slap and no more ghost shifting.
Bought this to replace my old X9 after it lost a battle to a large rock. Was always happy with my old X9 so bought another, cant beat the price!
Great shifting in a solid and reliable rear derailleur. Yeah, you can pay more for an XO or equivalent Shimano, but you won't get any better shifting or reliable service. Use with X9 twist-grips and shift issues are a thing of the past. Better grab two while they're still available -- the manufacturers want you to go 10 and 11 speed and sell you a whole new drivetrain!
I just love this derailleur. I have used it for several drive train changes. The cost is amazing. I am an avid grip shifter for many many years. I would defineatly recommend this product.
Shifting is great but the SRAM parts do not last like Shimano. I was sold on SRAM the minute I tried shifting with it, so crisp and snappy but I find they develop play over a much shorter period of time. I've run through 2 of these while at same time my SLX is as good as the day I bought it and to be frank I think Shimano has improved their shifting, that mushy feel is gone in their newer products. Switching back to Shimano, don't want to spend money on a 3rd SRAM RD
great RD! I use this as a 1x9 setup with no chainguide and I still have yet to jump a chain. retention won't be as good as a clutch but it's pretty strong. I will use this until it breaks before considering a 1x10 setup!
Have been through three sets of x9 drivetrain parts. Failures mostly due to rider and trail not plying nice. Outside of that, solid mid range components that take a reasonable beating
When I broke my XO derailleur I didn't want to spend too much to replace it. The X9 has proven to be just as precise and easy to adjust and tune. Slight weight penalty but a great value.
Had a long cage x9 that got worn out, replaced with the medium cage, since am running a 2x9. Works well, snappier shifts, shifts through all the gears nicely and very happy with it. Solid price as well.
I am on my 2nd X9 deraileur (the first developed excessive play after ~3years) and I couldn't be happier. I keep wanting to make the switch from an old 9 speed to 10speed or 11 speed XX1 but this thing just keeps on trucking through the wind and the sun and the rain and the snow (there was icicles on my derailleur at one point) and I just can't justify the extra expense.
Upgraded my Giant Anthem with the SRAM X9. Shifting is never an issue anymore. Solid and clean shifts thru all gears. Very easy to install and adjust.
The x9 is one of the most dependable components that you can get. I have this on my wifes Santa Cruz so it has to be dependable or I am in the dog house for weeks. With 9 speed systems disappearing I am stocking up for the future demise of the most reliable 9 speed system on the market. The pivot bushing wears out after 5,000 off-road miles so it lasts. The jocket wheels don't wear out either. The massive spring that sram uses in the x9 always makes my shifting fast and snappy in all weather conditions. Easy to set up and install. The cable tie down is my favorite feature of the rear derailleur. Pull the cable tight and it locks it in. No need for 3 hands to get a frim cable installation. The instructions actually make sense instead of decifering chinese-english. Rock solid performance from a dependable company.
I made the switch from Shimano Deore (circa 2001) to SRAM x9 years ago and could not be happier with the performance of the x9 nine speed RD. Shifts are fast and crisp and have not had any problems to date. I don't think I'll ever go back to Shimano if given a choice.
Been using Sram since I had a 7 speed. Long story short. Can't hardly tell the difference between X-7 and X-9,though the X-9 is a little faster/crisper.These were 2010 versions. I got some NOS X-O twist shifters (great) A friend wants to but my X-7 stuff and I am getting the X-9 9 speed here. The price is right. I am one loyal Sram man! Oh, and by the way, the direct cable routing to the derailleur is the coolest thing since sliced bread. PS I once crashed hard on the right side, bent the hanger and the derailleur was fine.That was the X-7.I'm still using it 3 years later!
When finally adjusted and dialed in, this shifter works very well and has given me no problems after a few months. However, the limit adjustments did not go far enough and would not allow engagement to the largest rear chainring. This is most likely caused by the odd sizing of my Mavic freehub. I ended up spacing out the derailleur from the hanger with a 1mm washer. Not the most ideal fix, but it works and I have not had any issues with it since. I have heard some units were not manufactured correctly and you might have to go to your LBS for a solution to get shifting dialed in correctly, or have them get a new shifter from Sram.
I've switched to SRAM x-9 on all my MTB bikes. Much more precise, snappy shifting than the other S brand. Great price, great performance
This is a great product for the money. You can't go wrong with SRAM. Easy installation and really good instructions on how to make all the proper adjustments. No need for a bike mechanic to install.
I have never had a problem with SRAM derailleurs. I am using X-9 on both my mountain bikes. Shifting is smooth and trouble-free.
Shifts smooth and makes riding so much more enjoyable.
I love Sram MTB components and you'd be able to tell from looking at my bike, but when trying to put a full X9 group set on, I just could not get this rear mech to work out! It just seemed like the limit screws would not allow it to move far enough. Price Point returns were great and I decided to go with an X7 rear which mated perfectly and I actually like the look better!
I hate to blame this derailleur because it has served pretty well and I love most other SRAM systems, however, given the difficulties I have been experiencing recently I would probably go back to XT or XTR over the X.9.

Last night GamePolitics reported on the outcry over a Japanese rape game offered on Amazon.com.
Among those expressing disgust over PC hentai title RapeLay was British MP Keith Vaz, long a video game industry critic.
At the time we predicted that – since RapeLay was offered as a used product by re-seller Hentaiguy – Amazon likely didn't know about the game and would do the right thing when they found out.
That now appears to be the case.
LifeNews.com reports that RapeLay has been removed from Amazon.com listings:
Amazon.com has dropped its listing for a controversial Japanese video game called Rapelay that involves raping women and forcing them to have abortions. The so-called "rape simulator" game was sold on the web site and included a graphic description of the gameplay.
Although a listing for the product is available through online searches, the link to it on Amazon's web page no longer functions.
We're also not finding any additional sales listings from Hentaiguy. Perhaps Amazon has shown him the door.

Hi There -
When I open Zimbra desktop in my work or at home (using VPN), I get an error which says "Not able to connect to localhost". This is on my PC running Windows XP.
Also, if I had already opened the Zimbra desktop and then connect my laptop at work, ZD does is not able to connect to network ...
Is Zimbra desktop not supposed to work thru firewall ?
Thanks !

Hedges and Conifers
You might get the impression that the Christmas tree has always been with us, but in fact the tradition of decorating a firtree for Christmas is not all that old. It was not until around 1850 that the tree of light came from Germany to other parts of Europe.
A hedge is not just an attractive feature in the garden, it also has a useful function, as it screens off the garden and offers privacy. A wall or fence can serve the same purpose, but is not nearly as appealing!
Holly is one of the most significant evergreen shrubs, with prickly foliage that has been used in Christmas decorations for centuries. It makes a great hedge or an excellent evergreen specimen shrub whether or not cut into any particular shape.

1970 Dodge Super Bee Restoration Part 2 - That's Not A Good ThingWritten by on November 16, 2011 Contributors: Daren Irons Replacing rust with new AMD metal
"I wasn't planning on having to repair rust in that area." That was one of the statements made right after we stripped all of the removable parts from our project 'Bee and found some hidden rust. As a matter of fact, it was said a couple of different times about a couple of different locations. Let's face it, every project car has rust that needs repaired. Sometimes that rust comes in some strange places. In this case, the rust we found was underneath the Dutchman panel (the panel between the rear window and trunk lid). It was bad enough, that repairing it wasn't an option; we needed to replace the panel.
No more than just a few years ago, if you needed to replace this panel, that meant hopefully finding a good used one. Now, however, the aftermarket has made new reproductions availableùbut what's the quality like? Let me begin by saying that it's great to be able to buy new metal to replace rust, and in this case, the piece we received from Roseville Moparts impressed us since (one), the metal was just as heavy (read: thick) as the original piece, and (two), the form of the piece looked to be right on. But let's not make everything sound all rosy and insinuate that the panel "fell" into place. During our install, we did run into a small problem. This is not to say that the metal was the problem, it means we had a problematic situation that we needed to overcome.
Since all aftermarket sheet metal is reverse engineered, and every 30- or 40-year-old car will have variances in its build, this is where our situation manifested itself as you'll see in the captions.
Overall, we were more than satisfied with the fit and quality of the replacement panel, and like we said, we weren't sure if the situation we encountered was caused by the car or the replacement panel, but regardless, it was easily overcome. Keep in mind, this is rust repair/body work, nothing ever goes as planned.
(248) 431-3491

1 Although not noticeable from the outside, this rust is at the area where the Dutchman panel meets the rear window opening.2 When we received our new panel from Roseville Moparts, we were pleased with how well the panel seemed to be made. The metal was as thick as a factory piece, and seemed like a quality piece. Its die stamped, and if we could make a suggestion, we would suggest crisper, sharper corners on the stamped corners. They're not bad, but it was an observation we made.3 Previously, I said we ran into a situation, and here it is. Where the replacement panel meets the 1/4 panel, the pieces didn't come together as nicely as we hoped. Again, these cars didn't just fall together when they were new, and variances on the assembly line could mean that any replacement panel will not fall into place on every car. This was a minor discrepancy that was fairly easy to fix.4 Removal of the old panel was easy. Simply take a die grinder or other cutting tool, and roughly cut out the old panel.5 Once the majority of the panel is removed, finish removing the remaining pieces of the panel by drilling the spot welds out.6 Like we showed you a few captions ago, we needed to tweak our panel a little bit to help with fitment. We started by making a slice along the edge of the new panel. By making this slice, we removed a small amount of metal, and this allows the panel to "shrink" when the cut is closed so to speak.7 The slice we made allows us to close the wide part of the gap between the 1/4 panel and the Dutchman panel, but now we have to contend with the gap we made by cutting. The reason we did it this way is because our cut can be welded and smoothed. The joint between the two panels is visible, even after painting, and welding in this area can ruin the body line or seam.8 The panel installed after the slice is made. You can see how the gap at the rear of the panel is gone, and we can now weld the slice we made. We used a MIG welder, being sure to space our welds out so as not to let the welding heat distort the metal.
10 Once you're happy with the fitment you'll need to weld the panel in place. Unless you have a huge pinch welding-machine, you'll need to improvise. We drill holes in our new panel every couple of inches, and simply fill-weld them to attach the new piece.11 Depending on your skill level, this job can be accomplished in a day, but even if you don't feel confident enough to do it yourself, it's always good to know how your repair needs to be made.

i am building an application (in c++) which is supposed to take params (Subject,From,To,Content,Attachment path) from 3rd party app, compose an email and then save it to Drafts under particular account. I dont know what tools should i use for it exactly. I can connect to zimbra through ssh socket and execute commands. I can upload a file to server using sftp. I have found some usefull commands like addmessage or /postfix/sendmail. But i dont know how compose a new message and connect an attachment to it in command line.
Should i approach to this app in other way?
Thank for any advice.

I heard of Zimbra the first time in Fall 2005. At this time I just had started preparing for my first MCSE exam, was only using Exchange as mail server and had never thought that I would ever use a Linux-based mail system. But then I discovered Zimbra. I heard of it because its amazing Ajax-driven web frontend (I always was fascinated by such new technologies and was coding Ajax sites/apps myself). So I managed to setup a test server, downloaded the latest NE trial (I think it was 3.1) and had a look at Zimbra.
I was so fascinated by this product, its community, the helpful people in the forums that I migrated my small Exchange server (5 users, mostly family) to Zimbra which worked like a charm. Later I contributed the first German translation and continued working with Zimbra very intensive.
I am currently using Zimbra for my family and also for the board of directors of the biggest Austrian student organization (schuelerunion.at). A few weeks ago we had to move to another server because the old one was running out of resources. A one-day downtime was planned but I couldnt go online with the new server after two days because a nasty error I couldnt fix. After consulting the forums and Klug I contacted mmorse via Skype and he was our hero because he found the error after a few minutes, two hours later the server was up and running! I dont know any other company where you get such fast and good support!
I am sure I will continue using Zimbra for a lo
ng time because its simply the best.
PS: I never continued making the MCSE and never regretted it ;)

Sleeping lions
Sleeping lions is a great birthday party game and kids activity to help them wind down after an exciting day. Your children will learn to be still and calm down in the process. Definitely a favourite end-of-day party activity essential!
Number of players:
Have all of the children (except one or two hunters) lie down on the floor in sleeping positions.
Once they are settled, they are not allowed to move - you might use the language "freeze" so they fully understand the object of the game.
The hunters walk through the room and try to make the sleeping lions move by making them laugh, telling them jokes, and so on.
However, the hunters are not allowed to touch the lions.
Once any lion moves they are tapped and get up and join the hunters.
The last child still on the floor wins!

Ladies and Gentleman, good morning and welcome to the U.S. Helsinki Commission's hearing on Russia's human rights record entitled, "The Medvedev Thaw: Is it Real? Will it Last?"
This is a timely discussion as President Obama will soon travel to Moscow for a summit with Russia's leaders. As this is his first visit to Russia as president many people around the world will be paying extra attention to the coverage of this historic meeting.
Our bilateral relations in recent years have, unfortunately, been cool at best. Some of this is the result of failed policies of the Bush administration but, to be fair, the Russian government shares in the blame. The rollback of Russia's fledgling democracy, the erosion of the rule of law, the deadly attacks on independent journalists, and the recent war in Georgia are just a few of the many examples of hard-line policies emanating from the Kremlin. In Russia's quest to regain great power status, it appears that relevance counts more than popularity.
The new administration has been quite active in reaching out to Russia and there have already been a number of high-level meetings. I am hopeful that we are beginning a new and fruitful partnership with Russia. Although our two great countries may not see eye to eye, being best friends need not be the measure of successful relations. There are many issues of mutual concern that we cannot afford to ignore and restoring trust and mutual respect with Russia will allow us to pursue common security, while fully upholding our OSCE commitments.
Some in the human rights community, here and in Russia, are concerned that the "reset" in U.S.-Russian relations may lead to less attention being paid to traditional concerns such as religious freedom, media freedom, and the rule of law. Today's hearing is intended to send the message that the laudable goals of improving relations with Russia and taking Russia's compliance with human rights commitments seriously need not be mutually exclusive.
When General Secretary Brezhnev signed the Helsinki Final Act, or the Helsinki Accords, on August 1, 1975 on behalf of the USSR, Soviet officials believed that they had gained an important foreign policy victory. Indeed, there were some provisions that Soviet diplomats had sought assiduously during the negotiations among the thirty-five nations of Europe and the United States and Canada. However, the West, for its part, had insisted on certain provisions in the area of human rights and humanitarian affairs, including the right of citizens "to know their rights and to act upon them."
In this context, it is worth reminding everyone that since the 1991 "Moscow Declaration" raising human rights concerns in the OSCE context is the legitimate prerogative of participating States and cannot be construed as interference in another countries internal affairs as the OSCE States have a recognized right and obligation to monitor and comment on the fulfillment of human rights commitments in any OSCE country.
As Chairman of this commission, I take seriously my responsibility to monitor implementation of the Helsinki Final Act and subsequent agreements throughout the expansive OSCE region, including in my own country. Governments, including parliamentarians, have an important role to play in candidly raising human rights concerns and cases as part of their ongoing engagement. As the late Soviet human rights advocate Andrei Sakharov once observed, "The whole point of the Helsinki Accords is mutual monitoring, not mutual evasion of difficult problems."
The Helsinki Commission, and the OSCE, is fully committed to the development of democracy, civil society, the rule of law and free markets in the Russia Federation. We trust that Russian President Medvedev shares that commitment when he proclaims that "my most important task is to further develop civil and economic freedoms."
Yet we see evidence that Russian authorities continue to selectively prosecute and harass human rights advocates, religious communities, prominent business leaders, and journalists by employing arbitrary and extralegal means to achieve political ends. This is often accomplished through a manipulated court system, thus denying citizens and foreign investors the impartial application of the rule of law and equal justice.
To help us examine these complex issues, we have before us four witnesses. Normally, we like to include an administration witness, but Assistant Secretary of State for Europe and Eurasian Affairs Philip Gordon, the most appropriate person, is travelling and today's subject matter is just too important to wait any longer.
On our first panel we have Mr. Sergey Cherepanov who is a leader of the Jehovah's Witness community in Russia and who traveled all the way from St. Petersburg to be with us today. And then we have Mrs. Musa Klebnikov, widow of American journalist Paul Klebnikov, who was murdered in Moscow almost five years ago. Mrs. Klebnikov is currently the Executive Director of the New York-based Paul Klebnikov Fund which is active in supporting excellence in journalism and civil society in Russia. We are also happy to have Mr. William Browder, CEO of Heritage Capital Management and a leading global shareholder rights activist and an outspoken fighter for better corporate governance in Russia, who has travelled from London to appear at this hearing.
Finally, on panel two we have Dr. Sarah Mendelson, Director of the Human Rights and Security Initiative at the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies. As I understand, Dr. Mendelson is quite involved in President Obama's upcoming trip to Moscow.
More detailed bios on our witnesses are available on the table outside.
I thank you all for being here today and look forward to your presentations.

YRCW closes deal with Austin Ventures for logistics business
August 16, 2010
Less-than-truckload transportation services provider YRC Worldwide (YRCW) said it has completed the official closing of its sale of a portion of its YRC Logistics business to strategic private equity investor Austin Ventures.
The deal was originally announced in late June and is part of a previously-stated strategy by the company to address its short-term liquidity needs, which includes considering sales of additional equity or pursuing other capital market transactions.
YRCW officials said the gross proceeds for the transaction were approximately $38.7 million of which YRCW received $33.6 million at the initial closing with an additional $2.3 million placed in escrow for further closings of foreign entities in the coming months along with $2.8 million placed in escrow for indemnification purposes.
They added that YRCW will retain its two China-based joint ventures, and the company will continue to offer customers complimentary logistics services through its strategic relationship with Austin Ventures through a commercial services agreement between YRCW and Austin Ventures.
When the announcement was first made in June, YRCW said the deal will form the basis for a new company specializing in international freight forwarding, customs brokerage, transportation management, truckload services, and dedicated warehouse and fulfillment services in North America, Latin America, Europe, and Asia.
This is not the first time in recent months YRCW has offloaded a piece of its logistics business. In November 2009, it sold the contracts, personnel, and equipment of the Dedicated Contract Carriage division of YRC Logistics for roughly $34 million. At the time of the deal, YRC Logistics President John Carr said this deal is a strategic move towards a more asset-light business model and aligns resources at YRC Logistics to focus on its core offerings, including transportation, distribution, and global services.
YRCW Chairman, President, and CEO Bill Zollars said in a statement that the recent deal with Austin Ventures also allows the company to focus on core offerings and at the same time continue to offer full global logistics solutions for shippers through a strong business relationship with the new company.
YRC Logistics President Carr officials said that the YRC Logistics management team will remain intact, adding that the financial wherewithal of Austin Ventures positions YRC to pursue new business development as well as growth through acquisition.
YRCW said it will retain all of its China-based operations and said that the strategic partnership with Austin Ventures will give customers of the new Austin-owned logistics company ongoing access to these capabilities.
"There will be no change in the way a customer's business is handled, and they will benefit from advancements in the delivery of comprehensive supply chain solutions by both companies," said Zollars. "In addition, the incremental liquidity from the transaction will support YRC Worldwide business growth."
Future business growth is key for the company as it has incurred losses of more than $2 billion in the last 12 quarters. In its second quarter earnings, the company showed some sequential and annual gains, although the company posted quarterly net and revenue losses.
YRCW recorded a quarterly net loss of $9.5 million and $.01 per share, which is ahead of a net loss of $309 million and a $5.20 loss per share during the second quarter of 2009. Operational revenue at $1.12 billion was down 8.7 percent year-over-year, and total operating expenses at $1.1 billion were off by about 30 percent. Operating income for the quarter at $48.3 million was up significantly compared to a $294 million loss a year ago.
Pittsburgh-based SJ Consulting President Satish Jindel told LM that YRCW's quarterly performance compared to other publicly-traded LTL players on a sequential basis in terms of tonnage increases and shipment increases was as good or better in some cases that its public competitors.
"This is an indication that YRCW is not losing market share anymore to competitors like they did three months ago or a year ago, which is positive," said Jindel. "They are also focusing on pricing rather than pushing for volume gains, and it is an important message that they needed to convey from a customer and competitor point of view as a price war hurts everyone and prevents investment into the business for YRCW."

New features on the Windows desktop make it easier to organize and manage multiple windows. You can switch easily between open windows so that you can focus on important programs and files. Other new features help you add a personal touch to your desktop.
You can use Snap to arrange and resize windows on the desktop with a simple mouse movement. Using Snap, you can quickly align windows at the side of the desktop, expand them vertically to the entire height of the screen, or maximize them to completely fill the desktop. Snap can be especially helpful when comparing two documents, copying or moving files between two windows, maximizing the window you're currently working on, or expanding long documents so they're easier to read and require less scrolling.
To use Snap, drag the title bar of an open window to either side of the desktop to align it there, or drag it to the top of the desktop to maximize the window. To expand a window vertically using Snap, drag the top edge of the window to the top of the desktop. For more information, search for "Snap" in Help and Support.
Using Shake, you can quickly minimize all open windows on the desktop except the one you want to focus on. Just click the title bar of the window you want to keep open and drag (or shake) the window back and forth quickly, and the other open windows are minimized.
To restore the minimized windows, shake the open window again. For more information, see Minimize windows on the desktop using Shake.
You can use Peek features to quickly preview the desktop without minimizing all your windows, or preview an open window by pointing at its button on the taskbar.
The Show desktop button has been moved the opposite end of the taskbar from the Start button, making it easier to click or point to the button without accidentally opening the Start menu.
In addition to clicking the Show desktop button to get to the desktop, you can temporarily view or peek at the desktop by just pointing to the Show desktop button. When you point to the Show desktop button at the end of the taskbar, any open windows fade from view, revealing the desktop. To make the windows reappear, move the mouse away from the Show desktop button.
This can be useful for quickly viewing desktop gadgets, or when you don't want to minimize all open windows and then have to restore them. For more information, see Temporarily preview the desktop using Peek.
You can also use Peek to take a quick look at other open windows without clicking away from the window you're currently working on.
Point to a program button on the taskbar that has open files. Thumbnail previews of any open files associated with that program appear above the taskbar. You can point to a thumbnail to preview that window's contents, and all the other open windows on the desktop fade away to reveal just the window you're previewing. To open the window you're previewing, click the thumbnail. For more information, see Preview an open window on the desktop using Peek.
Windows Sidebar isn't included in this version of Windows. Instead, you can display gadgets anywhere on your desktop and use the Peek features to temporarily view your desktop gadgets without minimizing or closing the windows you're working with.
For more information about using gadgets on your desktop, search for "gadgets" in Help and Support.
Your desktop background doesn't have to be a single picture anymore. With Windows 7, you can display a slide show of pictures, instead. Some Windows themes include a slide show, or you can create your own slide show from your personal collection of pictures. For more information about setting up a slide show background, see Create a desktop background slide show.
Not all new desktop features are available in all editions of Windows 7. For example, Peek, Shake, and background slide shows are not included in Windows 7 Home Basic or Windows 7 Starter. You can find out which edition of Windows 7 you have on your computer by opening System in Control Panel. To learn about other Aero effects and features supported in Windows 7 Enterprise, Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional, and Windows 7 Ultimate, see What is the Aero desktop experience?
Open System by clicking the Start button , right-clicking Computer, and then clicking Properties.
The Start menu and the taskbar have also been redesigned to showcase some new features. For more information, see What's new with the Start menu?
and What's new with the Windows 7 taskbar?

Trouble With The Curve (2012)
Trouble With The Curve SynopsisGus Lobel (Clint Eastwood) has been one of the best scouts in baseball for decades, but, despite his efforts to hide it, age is starting to catch up with him. Nevertheless, Guswho can tell a pitch just by the crack of the batrefuses to be benched for what could be the final innings of his career.
He may not have a choice. The front office of the Atlanta Braves is starting to question his judgment, especially with the country's hottest batting phenom on deck for the draft. The one person who might be able to help is also the one person Gus would never ask: his daughter, Mickey (Amy Adams), an associate at a high-powered Atlanta law firm whose drive and ambition has put her on the fast track to becoming partner. Mickey has never been close to her father, who was ill-equipped to be a single parent after the death of his wife. Even now, in the rare moments they share, he is too easily distracted by what Mickey assumes is his first love: the game.
Against her better judgment, and over Gus's objections, Mickey joins him on his latest scouting trip to North Carolina, jeopardizing her own career to save his. Forced to spend time together for the first time in years, each makes new discoveriesrevealing long-held truths about their past and present that could change their future.

Epica was the band that took that basic premise of a girl fronted metal band, nurtured and progressed it, and then created a style which is instantly recognized and often imitated. It is a style that can be traced back to early After Forever to the original incarnation of Epica, Sahara Dust, all the way to present. "Requiem for the Indifferent" successfully takes the band's entire past and gives it an extra twist.

text: I wanted to give a shout out to my amazing wife. Sitting at home suffering with a bad case of cabin fever right now. Just got my new Badlands 4500 last week, and keep loading it up and walking around my house (kind of sad), new GPS arriving Tuesday, new bow sight on order. I was going to sell my Eberlestock gunslinger to help recoup some of the cost, when my wife said "Why sell it? Do I sell any of my purse's when I get a new one?" I have been truly blessed. I know many people on here hunt with their significant others and I think that is great. But there is the other side like myself. My wife does not hunt, her family didn't hunt and she was never around it. We have been together for 15 years now and she still does not hunt. She goes out with me, she loves to eat it, it doesn't bother her to have game hanging in the garage. She just doesn't want to witness the kill. When we got married she said that she did not want any heads hanging in the house. Now 12 years after our wedding we have 3 mounts on the wall, she calls it "Contemporary Redneck". She is the bread winner in our household making almost double what I bring in and she spoils me every chance she gets. Just last year I had a deer hanging in the garage and I needed to go and process it. I told my wife "you should go cut that up, I shot it, I gutted it out, I skinned it, I even hung it up for you." Her response was " I FINANCED IT". I Love you Mandy!

Item # ERG0054
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Grips in stock than that.View Similar Products
Ergon GC1 Grips $0.00
Even if a city-bike is your preferred mode of two-wheeled transportation, your hands and wrists still deserve to be comfortable. That's why Ergon developed the GC1 Grips.
The GC1 grip is specifically for bicycles with backwards-swept, moustache style handlebars, such as those found on city-bikes and beach cruisers. With bar tape, or a traditional tubular-shaped rubber grip, the wrist rotates outward. This causes numbness and cramping in the fingers and palms. So, by using a flared end that slopes toward the center of the bars, Ergon designed the GC1 to position your hands to align with your forearms. This reduces aching and tension in the tendons of the wrist and elbow, allowing for hours of riding in comfort. Additionally, you'll also find a textured insert on the GC1 that prevents your hand from slipping.
The GC1 was constructed from a German developed, certified toxin free, and UV stable rubber compound. The bracket is aluminum, and the grip is easily installed with one Allen bolt — this also keeps it securely in place on the bar.
The Ergon GC1 grip is available in one color and one size. Please note that you have the option of both a standard and Nexus compatible GC1.

SHRM, Democrats Tangle Over Paid-Sick-Days Bill
But at a June 11 meeting of a House Education and Labor subcommittee, the Healthy Families Act created tension between the panel's Democratic chairwoman and an official of the Society for Human Resource Management.
Rep. Lynn Woolsey, D-California, said the bill, which would allow employees to accrue up to seven paid sick days each year, would provide economic security for workers who cannot take time off for themselves or loved ones during an illness because they are afraid of losing their jobs.
Woolsey asserted that only 8 percent of workers have paid family and medical leave. Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Connecticut and author of the bill, said that almost half of private-sector workers lack paid sick days.
SHRM chief operating officer China Miner Gorman warned that the bill would foist new requirements on employers that could turn out to be as difficult and costly to administrate as the Family and Medical Leave Act—whose 200 pages of regulations she held up at the hearing.
During the questioning of witnesses, Woolsey turned to Gorman first. Woolsey noted that she was once an HR professional at a technology company in the 1970s that provided paid leave while growing from 12 to 800 workers.
"We would have bent over backwards if one of our employees had a family matter," Woolsey said. She implied that too many companies today don't offer the same support.
"What do you think HR people are all about?" Woolsey asked Gorman, after twice calling SHRM "shoorum," and declaring "that doesn't say anything to me" after Gorman gave her the proper pronunciation.
Gorman responded, "HR people are all about having an active and productive workforce. Our members are very clear that providing paid time off … is an important part of an employee's total compensation."
More than 81 percent of SHRM members who responded to a recent survey said that their company provides paid sick time, while 42 percent offered paid time off that could be used for sickness, vacations and personal matters, according to Gorman.
During her testimony, Gorman introduced SHRM's principles for developing workplace flexibility law, which include encouraging employers to offer paid time off in exchange for protection from federal, state and local leave requirements.
"Congress should build on the progress that is already being made by offering incentives for employers to do more—not risk the unintended consequences of another government mandate," Gorman said.
For proponents, the bill represents economic and social justice.
"It is a basic matter of right and wrong," DeLauro said. "These workers put their jobs on the line every time they take a day off."
Republicans said the bill would raise labor costs and force businesses to lower wages and freeze hiring.
"This Congress and [the Obama] administration are killing even the possibility of new jobs," said Rep. Tom Price, R-Georgia.
The Center for Economic and Policy Research released a study at the hearing that said that mandatory paid sick days did not result in higher unemployment in 22 of the largest economies around the world.
The sick-days bill would improve individual and public health by allowing workers to stay home during pandemic and seasonal flu outbreaks, according to another study released at the hearing. It was conducted by Human Impact Partners and released by the National Partnership for Women and Families.
Debra Ness, president of the partnership, said that opponents warn of economic catastrophe each time leave legislation is introduced.
"We don't have any evidence that these [predictions] are going to come to pass," Ness said.
But one witness forecasted that companies that currently offer paid time off would not automatically be in compliance with the bill.
"Under the HFA, employers who are already providing these benefits would be subject to a new regulatory regime, additional compliance and record-keeping costs and litigation for alleged violations of the law," said Victoria Lipnic, former assistant secretary of labor for employment standards.
SHRM is ready to push back. Mike Aitken, SHRM director of government affairs, said that the Healthy Families Act could meet the same resistance in the Senate that has tied up a bill that would make it easier for employees to join unions, the Employee Free Choice Act.
"The only thing that gets [SHRM members] more riled up than HFA is EFCA," Aitken said.

I was considering putting in for a tag in Montana. I know it will be a general tag if I draw it. My question is what kind of hunting can I expect in general areas? Elbow to elbow, low numbers??? I don't like to run into many people. I have no idea what to expect and it is a lot of $ to put out there and not be happy. I have hunted twice in Idaho with a general OTC tag, and was lucky to kind a decent spot. How do they compare to Idaho OTC?
Montana put themselves in the middle this year. I drew a tag last year and had to turn it in, because my buddy couldn't go. Cost us 20% and didn't even get a point. Last year Utah and New Mexico cost us a few bucks to withdraw our application, that's it.
I am already entered in Utah, and Arizona, but not much of a chance getting anything there. Plan and would really like to hunt New Mexico if lucky. I would be going archery the first week of September if we go any place we go.
Any advice or thoughts would be appreciated as to the quality of the general hunt and what to expect.

Let The Right One In (2010)
Let The Right One In Synopsis
A fragile, anxious boy, 12-year-old Oskar is regularly bullied by his stronger classmates but never strikes back. The lonely boy's wish for a friend seems to come true when he meets Eli, also 12, who moves in next door to him with her father. A pale, serious young girl, she only comes out at night and doesn't seem affected by the freezing temperatures.
Coinciding with Eli's arrival is a series of inexplicable disappearances and murders. One man is found tied to a tree, another frozen in the lake, a woman bitten in the neck. Blood seems to be the common denominator and for an introverted boy like Oskar, who is fascinated by gruesome stories, it doesn't take long before he figures out that Eli is a vampire. But by now a subtle romance has blossomed between Oskar and Eli, and she gives him the strength to fight back against his aggressors. Oskar becomes increasingly aware of the tragic, inhuman dimension of Eli's plight, but cannot bring himself to forsake her. Frozen forever in a twelve-year-old's body, with all the burgeoning feelings and confused emotions of a young adolescent, Eli knows that she can only continue to live if she keeps on moving. But when Oskar faces his darkest hour, Eli returns to defend him the only way she can...
Swedish filmmaker Tomas Alfredson weaves friendship, rejection and loyalty into a disturbing and darkly atmospheric, yet poetic and unexpectedly tender tableau of adolescence. Let The Right One In is based on the best-selling novel by John Ajvide Lindqvist.

Gartner's supply chain rankings released
June 20, 2011
Gartner Inc. has released the findings from its seventh annual Supply Chain Top 25. The goal of the Supply Chain Top 25 research initiative is to raise awareness of the supply chain discipline and how it impacts the business.
Analysts announced the findings from this year's research at the Gartner Supply Chain Executive Conference in Scottsdale, Arizona earlier this month. Apple held onto the No. 1 position for the fourth year in a row.
The event's keynote address featured a "back to basics" theme that should resonate with Apple's supply chain team.
"We live in a VUCA world," said Jane Barrett, Gartner's managing vice president. "And for anyone is not familiar with that acronym, it stands for volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity."
First coined in the 1990s by military strategists, VUCA has been adopted by the supply chain community as a way of explaining sudden unanticipated disruptions.
Apple, it seems, has yet to fall victim to political upheaval or natural disasters.
Meanwhile, Debra Hofman, research vice president at Gartner, noted that four "key themes" emerged this year among the leaders.
"These include how they deal with volatility, their approaches to value chain network integration, their focus on sustainable execution and their abilities to orchestrate," she said.
Gartner analysts said one of the trends they've seen over the last several years is a move from the notion of "supply chain" to "value chain" and a concomitant increase in the span of control of the supply chain organization.
Apple continued to post strong financials and top-of-the-line voting scores. Research In Motion, which was new to the list last year, rose to No. 4 this year with enviable financials and solid votes. Amazon, another newcomer last year, rose five spots to No. 5 in the 2011 ranking. Colgate-Palmolive, rising steadily since 2009, moved to No. 13 this year.

text: Fake meat: burgers grown in beakers Biotechnology 31 July 09 by Leo Hickman Will Sanders This article was taken from the September issue of Wired UK magazine. Be the first to read Wired's articles in print before they're posted online, and get your hands on loads of additional content by subscribing onlineThe prototype is carried to the table by a lab assistant in starch-stiff whites. "What we're making here is basically wasted muscle," says Mark Post, as he picks up the clear plastic dish containing a pinkish liquid and holds it up to the strip lighting for closer inspection. "Right now, it probably has the texture of an undercooked egg."In a lab at the biomedical-engineering faculty at the University of Technology in Eindhoven, Post is holding an early example of what he hopes will be the food of the future: in vitro meat. Post, the university's professor of angiogenesis (growth of new blood vessels), is a specialist in tissue engineering. He is also part of a small team of Dutch scientists racing to develop the ability to grow muscle independent of a living animal so that it can be produced in commercial quantities and sold as meat.He walks over to what looks like a large oven in the centre of the lab. Think of this Flexercell Strain Unit, he says, as an exercise machine for the microscopic skeletal muscle cells - in vitro meat, in other words - that he and his team are cultivating. To move on from that undercooked-egg texture, muscles need pumping."We're developing a very simplified version of what we know as meat," he explains. "The cells are grown in this dish within a growing medium and this unit is where they receive the electrical stimulation. These electrodes ensure there is an electrical current - about 1Hz - passing through the cells. To make these skeletal cells develop into muscle, they need to be constantly exercised, just like in the body." This, he explains, is one of the scientific hurdles for in vitro meat that has not yet been fully addressed. "We can convert stem cells into skeletal muscle cells; however, turning them into trained skeletal muscle appears to be a little harder."But overcoming that challenge would bring vast rewards. The red-meat market was worth $61 billion last year in the US alone, according to Mintel. Carve out even a pastrami-thin slice and the in vitro pioneers will be wealthy beyond imagination. The rewards are not only financial. Livestock's Long Shadow, an influential 2006 report by the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization, calculated that the global livestock industry is responsible for about 18 per cent of mankind's greenhouse-gas emissions - more than all of our cars, trains, shipping and planes combined. The FAO said it also accounts for more than eight per cent of our freshwater use, largely to grow crops fed to animals. Meat production now uses up 70 per cent of the world's agricultural land. And then, of course, there is the animal suffering attributed to the industry and intensive animal-farming.Last year, the animal-rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta) announced a $1 million prize for the first team to develop and market in vitro meat. There were, admittedly, some pretty exacting clauses: it set the rather optimistic deadline of June 30, 2012. It also insisted that the winning entrant must "produce an in vitro chicken-meat product that has a taste and texture indistinguishable from real chicken flesh to non-meat-eaters and meat-eaters alike; and manufacture the approved product in large enough quantities to be sold commercially... at a competitive price". Lastly, it said a panel of ten Peta judges would assess the taste and texture of the in vitro chicken, prepared using a classic Southern fried-chicken recipe. No pressure, then.Yet the science remains stubborn. To date, only a handful of scientists has attempted to tackle the considerable technical obstacles to cultivating meat. At the vanguard is the Dutch consortium that includes Mark Post. Post - who also specialises in "growing" new blood vessels for heart-attack victims - says either mechanical or electrical stimulation can be used to exercise the cells, but electricity is more energy-efficient than placing cells in, say, tubes that are then pulsated using vacuums. The reasoning is simple: once you scale up the technology for commercial use, minimising energy use will be key to making the manufacturing process viable.This energy use is why Post sees neither of these methods as a longer-term way to exercise the muscle cells. Instead, he hopes to develop an alternative method by observing the cellular changes that occur under current techniques."We want to look at how the cells change, as well as their genetic programme," he says. "Which protein-manufacturing programs do they turn on to train them? Then we can use other ways to replicate that. For example, we might be able to use growth factors such as hormones. Inside us we have many natural proteins, such as bone morphogenetic protein and other transforming growth-factor proteins, which affect the differentiation of skeletal muscles. In real life, in the mammalian system, this is achieved with a cocktail of these hormones in a time-dependent and location-dependent manner. But we could manufacture them quite easily by using modified E. coli bacteria. We could then add them to the muscle as required." Never has the farmyard felt so distant.

Jammin' On A Bike In Amsterdam
01/08/2010 21:12 by Amsterdamize
I just had a most chillin' Sunday, joining friends at the
Appelsap HipHop Festival in Oosterpark
in the eastern part of Amsterdam, enjoying some good munchin' and good...well, let's just say at some point somebody put Stevie Wonder on, but generally just extremely relaxed, and half the city seemed to have gathered there. Halfway dinner (mussels, yum!) I got a text message from one good friend of mine,
, asking me whether I had checked another friend's Facebook page yet, in this case
's. Of course I hadn't, and couldn't resist, so I checked...
Suffice to say, I love it when friends get together, whip out their guitar and camera, and have a good laugh. Totally jammin', making my day truly complete!

I'm bringing along copies of THIS great rainbow poem/writing activity from Let's Explore
for her friends to work on during snack!
I am so glad you posted this. I was planing on making rainbow Jello for my daughter's St Patrick's Day party. I was going to do it in a trifle bowl but may now do it individual. How cool to get your own rainbow! I may have to tape a gold coin to each cup! Thanks!!! You rock!
You are incredible! Every time that I think that you've outdone yourself, you go and outdo yourself! :)
Miss J received your note in the mail yesterday. She was tickled beyond belief.
I hope that the Frog Princess has a splendid birthday and I'm sure that she will be thrilled with the surprise.
Warm regards,
How fun are those! I love that she didn't want cupcakes! And those are super cute and just plain happy! Happy Birthday, Frog Princess!
Mama kina and pink and green- you guys so just inspired me to make these for my girls classes for St. Patty's day!!! thanks!
Thanks so much for posting this. Many years ago I saw a multi colored/layered jello dessert at an old friend's house. I suspected you just made the layers one at a time, but I never asked and for years have wanted to make it myself. Thanks for the confirmation on how to do it. =)
Fantastic snack idea! Kudos to your gal for thinking of it! We've made it in a big bowl before, but the individual cups add such a nice touch.
I love this. We are going to do it at my son's preschool. How many servings did you get out of the 9 boxes (9 boxes right?) I also noticed the top picture is red on the bottom but the bottom pictures you did blue on the bottom. Does one work better than the other? Am I over-thinking this? Probably! :)
terrific idea!
I'm pretty sure I got approx. 32 cups out of the 9 boxes of jello... I had to eyeball them to get them to come out even.
It doesn't matter what order you layer the colors in -- we did them in both RED/Yellow/Blue order AND
Blue/Yellow/Red order to see how they would turn out! It was pretty both ways ; )
Good Luck and Have Fun!

A little OT but I would love to do a turkey "slam" they are a passion!
A little OT but I would love to do a turkey "slam" they are a passion!
Sounds like excess pressure, but maybe some other factors should be considered. What was the outside temperature? Did you leave your gun and/or ammo in the sun before, or between shooting? Did you load a round into a warm/hot gun and leave it there for a period of time before firing? All of these, including minimum headspace and short chamber leade can cause excess pressure. The copper bullets are notoriously long for their weight(s), and may not be compatible with your gun in this weight. You could always try a lighter bullet (which Barnes recommends) than you normally shoot, as it will be shorter in length.

Barnes is in the process of pressure testing that lot of ammunition as we speak. Waiting for their response. It was about 65 degrees that day and gun and ammo were out of the Sun. I really feel that it was the ammo, as stated earlier I had no issue with Nosler Custom loads with the same bullet weight, muzzle velocity, etc.
The spurs are on my Ocellated and were just slightly over 2 inches. It was in the top 5 of the NWTF Records at the time I harvested it. Not sure where it is now.


text: Promises of Neanderthal babies damage public trust in science Science 29 January 13 by Liat Clark Shutterstock When a German newspaper questioned geneticist George Church into a corner over his theoretical Neanderthal cloning argument, global headlines heralded the imminent birth of a Homo neanderthalensis. Sensationalist reporting like this might be common, but could it affect our willingness to accept scientific experimentation in the future? If an ill-informed public is continually fed fact-light exaggerations and melodrama, leaving the debate to rest on issues of morality, will we lose faith in the figure of the scientist and resist advancement when the time finally comes to clone a Neanderthal?"If thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought." George Orwell penned these words 67 years ago when he was overcome with frustration for the state of political discourse. In parliamentarians' hands the power in language was being abused -- unconscious conformity had usurped original thought and the public was subjected to meaningless cliches. In 1947 Orwell was competing with a post-war era where propaganda had all but subsumed authentic debate -- today, language is abused across every field, as much for economic purposes as political gain. And, whether in media or the sciences, as in Orwell's day, it is a subtle abuse that seeps and spreads, with the power to subvert meaning in the mind of both the speaker and the listener.Case in point, this month Der Spiegel asked Harvard professor of genetics George Church if he thought it would one day be possible to reproduce a Neanderthal. Church answered in the hypothetical, arguing that in light of the speed of recent advancements -- "reading and writing DNA is now about a million times faster than seven or eight years ago" -- it could happen in his lifetime. Citing an excerpt from Church's book, Der Spiegel asked if we would indeed need an "adventurous female human" as a surrogate, to which Church responded: "Yes. However, the prerequisite would, of course, be that human cloning is acceptable to society." Cue the following reactionary headlines: "'I can create Neanderthal baby, I just need willing woman'"; "Have a Neanderthal baby and save humanity"; "Wanted: 'adventurous woman' to give birth to Neanderthal man -- Harvard professor seeks mother for cloned cave baby." Now the origin of the latter will come as no big surprise (the Daily Mail), but what of the other two? The first was the Telegraph, which ran the most outrageous quotes out of context, while the second by the Guardian focused on the history of experimentation in science. These were of course, initial reactions (the Telegraph and the Guardian would go on to run follow-up stories). But few sought to question Church's proposition in the first instance, when it would make the most impact, and global headlines suggested a Neanderthal birth would be imminent. According to a study published this month by Ohio State University's School of Communications, even if publications go on to correct false reports, people aren't necessarily less likely to believe the initial misinformation . If a reader has a bias toward the false information, not only will they maintain their opinion in face of corrections, they become more fervently attached to that opinion if the data is corrected in real time. This, says lead author Kelly Garrett, is why one in six Americans will continue to wonder whether President Obama is US-born. Read page 2 123 Read on one page Latest on wired.co.uk

A Portfolio of Images from Afghanistan
Allah is the mountain above the mountain, and it is He who entertains the idea — or not — of our next hour on the earth.
This is why Afghans are reluctant to bet on tomorrow. Tomorrow is not ours to presume upon. Tomorrow is the pleasure of Allah alone.
Insha'Allah. The pervasive, overpowering feeling that is difficult to describe about Afghanistan.
It is the stubborn and unassailable conviction – the ability to endure almost anything – that defines the Afghan soul and my fascination with it.
It is this powerful feeling that draws me there again and again.

UPPER MARLBORO, MD (WUSA9) -- Aaron Thomas who has been dubbed as the "East Coast Rapist" has been indicted on six counts of first degree rape in Prince George's County, State's Attorney announced today.
Thomas has been sentenced to three life terms in addition to 80 years, by a Prince William County Virginia judge. He pleaded guilty of abducting three teenage girls and raping two of them on a Halloween night of 2009. He is responsible for more than 17 attacks across Virginia, Maryland, Connecticut and Rhode Island, it said in a press release.
"While we know that Mr. Thomas will spend the rest of his life in prison for his crimes, it is important that we prosecute him for the attacks he committed in our county, so these six victims can receive justice and closure from this terrible incident in their lives," Attorney Angela Alsobrooks said in the press release.
Alsobrooks also said that prosecuting Thomas was essential since this would send a message deterring would-be criminals "that if you come into Prince George's County and commit a crime, the police will arrest you and her office will prosecute you to ensure you are held responsible for your actions," said in a press release.
Thomas' arraignment is scheduled for April 12, 2013.

Testimony :: Hon. Benjamin L. Cardin
Chairman - Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe
Let me first welcome all of you and our witnesses, two of whom flew in from Europe for today's hearing. We are fortunate to have with us three European experts, each of whom has extensive experience working on inter-ethnic and minority issues in various multilateral institutions. The witnesses' full bios are available outside the hearing room, but briefly, Ambassador Heidi Tagliavini led the European Union's investigation into the causes of the Russia-Georgia conflict in 2008 and prepared an excellent report which we have found to be extremely insightful. Ambassador Peter Semneby is presently the EU's Special Representative on the South Caucasus, and also served as OSCE Head of Mission in Croatia. Ambassador Jessen-Petersen is a distinguished international diplomat with extensive experience in the Balkans.
I do want to note that we did invite the OSCE High Commissioner on National Minorities [Knut Vollebaek] to participate in this hearing and, while that was not possible, I did have the opportunity to meet with the High Commissioner when he visited Washington in March. Among other issues, we discussed the "Recommendations on National Minorities in Inter-State Relations" prepared under the auspices of the High Commissioner. These 19 guidelines provide greater clarity on how states can pursue their interests with regard to minorities without jeopardizing peace and good neighborly relations. They constitute yet another outstanding contribution of the High Commissioner's office to the work of the OSCE and should serve as a foundation for the OSCE's efforts in this area.
Ethnic conflict continues to break out within the OSCE region, at great cost to the affected countries and populations. In this connection, we are closely watching developments in Kyrgyzstan, where amidst the turmoil and ouster of the government in the last few weeks, land grabs and violent attacks were directed against Russians, Kazakhs, and other minorities.
Ethnic conflicts which have melded with territorial disputes have erupted in the Caucasus as well, causing many thousands of casualties. The loss of lives cannot be measured, and hundreds of thousands of civilians remain displaced and unable to return to their homes. As a result, security within the region is seriously undermined, while economic development is stymied by the insecurity and unsettled legal issues, particularly where the conflicts are inter-state in character.
The Crimea region of Ukraine still bears the wounds of the 1944 mass deportation of thousands of Crimean Tatars and other ethnic minorities in Ukraine by Joseph Stalin. The Government of Ukraine and the affected populations in Crimea continue to be challenged with finding mutually acceptable settlements on property rights, as well as the exercise of educational and language rights of Ukrainians, Russians, Tatars, and other minorities in the region.
This July, we will commemorate the genocide which occurred at Srebrenica in Bosnia 15 years ago, the senseless slaughter of 8,000 Bosniak men and boys trapped by Serb militants in what was a UN-declared safe haven. That horrific event should be kept in mind as we proceed today with this hearing.
Srebrenica demonstrates, in our own time, the degree to which even relatively small ethnic differences can generate fears and prejudices that, in turn, can lead dangerously to hatred, violence and aggression quite literally against an innocent neighbor. Perhaps the most important lesson of Srebrenica, however, is that it made evident the folly of blaming ethnic differences themselves for the crime. There was absolutely nothing inevitable about Srebrenica and the ethnic cleansing that occurred in Bosnia. It was orchestrated by individuals, not history, and was therefore preventable -- had there been the political will to act. While we insist, and I do, on bringing those responsible like Ratko Mladic to justice, we must also acknowledge our own burden of having failed to intervene to stop him and his murderous minions. If we do not learn from this mistake, human rights violations, ethnic conflicts and possibly even acts of genocide will continue to occur. These are only some of the very good reasons for having this hearing today.
