Additional Information
About IMPROIMPRO is a small non-profit organization that has been offering micro credit to the working poor in the Bolivian cities of La Paz and El Alto since 1995. IMPRO's goal is to fight poverty by offering loans to small business owners who cannot access credit through the regular banking system due to a lack of guarantees or collateral.
To ensure that everyone has access to credit, IMPRO maintains a low interest rate by minimizing operational costs. IMPRO's partnership with Kiva, which began in 2007, has allowed IMPRO to expand its services while maintaining these low interest rates.

Bio and Links
I have spent the last eight years researching my Sawyer, Johnson, Peterson, Ulrichson, and Weber ancestors. My mother was Minola Johnson. She married Harold Weber.
I have much information on these families. I have my mother's photographs and would be willing to share them with family members who would like to have copies. Many of these ancestors were at one time living in Livingston Co.,Ill.
Documentation for my research is from Church records, census, etc. I have had contact with several other family members who are also researching these families and we have been able to combine our research results. It is quite extensive. The research on the Johnson's goes back to Norway. Martha Sawyer immigrated to America when she was a widow. All of her adult children also came to America.

Hi, my name is Kasey Gribble and I live in Louisiana. My Mother's name is Mary Wilson and her mother is Evelyn Weber Wilson and I saw your name under a picture of my great great grandmother's picture you posted. I read your bio and I guess we're related. My mother didn't really know her side of the family because her parents moved from Illinois to California before they had children. I would love to hear back from you, I'm loving learning all these things about this side of my family.

RE: George Weber stone
Ha! OK, that's a deal.
I was just there a few weeks ago for four glorious days! I met Larry Weber, son of Ernest and Frances. She was so sweet and she remembered my grandparents and parents.
I am related to Rapp, Jenkins, Boston, Weber (Eliz. Rapp Weber), Holzhauer (Mary Rapp Holzhauer)...
It is all pretty mind-boggling when you start looking at all the offshoots from your own direct line, but I find it fascinating to think of all the people to whom I am biologically related! WOW

About That Kotex Anti-Tampon-Ad Tampon Ad
When I first saw this Kotex commercial, in which a dark-haired, sarcasm-talking, refreshingly normal girl makes fun of all the ridiculous imagery in normal tampon commercials (girls twirling in slow motion on the beach; girls dancing together in a bedroom; blue water being absorbed), I knew it would set the Internets aflame.
So far, it has. It's gotten the New York Times, the Sexist, and Feministing talking. All of the discussions have pointed out that despite the refreshing nature of the commercial, it still doesn't use the word "vagina," which is still weirdly off-limits even when discussing a product made for your vagina.
I'm not surprised that people are loving the concept of this commercial – whenever a person or company showcases its ability to make fun of himself/itself, people eat that shit up. The success of comedy ventures like Funny or Die, which posts mostly videos of celebrities mocking themselves in some way, is entirely dependent on this concept.
But as an ad campaign, I'm afraid I can't jump on the bandwagon. It's not that I don't agree that the ads for feminine products are ridiculous. They are. But they're ridiculous because in addition to taking a pretty gross and uncomfortable bodily function and making it look girly and whimsical, they say very little about the product itself, or why you should choose it. The Kotex ads only amplify this – they say virtually nothing about Kotex products themselves, or why any woman would want to use them other than because the people in their marketing department are sort-of clever.
It's one thing when cultural critics like Sarah Haskins make (hilarious) note of the ridiculous ads targeting women; it's another when the companies themselves do it for commercial purposes.

Voices from the Pagan Census: A National Survey of Witches and Neo-Pagans in the United States (Studies in Comparative Religion)
"Voices from the Pagan Census" provides insight into the expanding but largely unstudied religious movement of Neo-Paganism in the United States. The authors present the findings of "The Pagan Census", which was created and distributed by Berger and Andras Corban Arthen of the Earthspirit Community. Analysing the most comprehensive and largest-scale survey of the Neo-Pagans to date, the authors offer a portrait of this emerging religious community, including an examination of Neo-Pagan political activism, educational achievements, family life, worship methods, experiences with the paranormal and beliefs about such issues as life after death. A collection of religious groups whose practices evolved from Great Britain's Wicca movement of the 1940s, Neo-Paganism spread to the US in the 1960s. While the number of people who identify themselves with the religion has continued to rise, quantitative study of Neo-Paganism has been difficult given the movement's lack of centralized leadership and doctrine and its development into scattered, independent groups and individuals. Endorsed by all major Neo-Pagan leaders, the results of this census provide in-depth information about the group.

"Viva Las Vegas" Las Vegas by bugalugs
Las Vegas Travel Guide: 8,560 reviews and 17,703 photos
Do you want to come to Las Vegas with me, my husband asked in early December. Well what a question to ask me.......NO I said! Why he wanted to know. Well the thought of such a long flight filled me with dread, approximately 11 hours stuck in a plane was not on my agenda.
He had to go there for 3 nights leaving on his birthday and had the opportunity to take me. In the end I relented and said yes, and so it was arranged.
Thank goodness I said yes, I really enjoyed it, a very unusual kind of place, a bit like a fairground that is open 24/7 but so much to see.
Can you believe it, but this desert City called Las Vegas translates from Spanish to 'The Meadows' and apparently in the early 19th century that is just what it was, a place lush with vegetation and water.
In the late 19th century a railroad was built here and the town began.
It was'nt until 1931 that gambling was legalised here.
It is recorded that in 2003 there were over 35 million visitors to Las Vegas!!!!!!!
We are neither of us gamblers and wanted to see something away from the neon lights, one armed bandits and roulette wheels so we visited the Hoover Dam, an amazing sight to see and not too far away either.
Red Rock Canyon is a short drive up in the hills which surround Las Vegas. It has such natural beautiful and is worthy of a visit. You can even see the suburbs of Las Vegas in the distance.
- Pros:A place with such contrasts on its doorstep
- Cons:You could lose your shirt figureatively speaking!
- In a nutshell:You may like it but your feet wont!

i am not the bandageso much sorrow. it fills me.i am not the bandage by verybluebird
the world is bleeding, and i am not the bandage.
it hurts me to know this, and i shed tears on this earth that i cannot help. i cannot heal the very thing that gives me life, and i mourn this fact with every breath.
why is peace so strange to us? why is death an option? our hands wring necks, yet we have nails, not claws; we are built to plant, not uproot. we are soft at heart— so why, in these days of torture, are we stone?
where are the gaps in our barbed wire?
where is the water in our world of fire?
our leaders, their fortresses so impenetrable, sit on their thrones. on their white horses, safe from the battle, they watch us bleed. our tears flood the streets so they build higher walls. our voices raise in protest so they use thicker glass. the graffiti we spray on their damn concrete walls is the closest they come to hearing us out.
the world is wounded and i am not the bandage—
i am the strong scar tissue ready to take another blow.

"We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals. Remote from universal nature and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate for having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein do we err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours, they move finished and complete, gifted with the extension of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings: they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth." - Henry Beston

|The Evening Show by Clyde Aspevig, oil painting, 40 x 36.
You can often tell a painting that was painted en plein air from one that wasn't. There is an immediacy to the light and atmosphere depicted in plein air paintings that isn't always achieved when the work is brought into the studio. But what really sets an outdoor painting apart? I went to some of the best plein air artists, instructors, and seasoned painters in the country to see what they think distinguishes a plein air painting, and discovered several pearls of wisdom that I want to share.
It is all about the light, according to world-renowned artist James Gurney. Direct sunlight, overcast light, and interior light from a window or light bulb vary significantly. With direct sunlight, Gurney reminds artists that as more clouds appear in the sky, shadows become grayer, and if there is a hint of haze or smog in the atmosphere, shadows seem relatively closer to the tonal value of the sunlight.
Mark Delassio strives to have his paintings mimic the way the human eye actually sees. To that end, he prefers 3-to-4 proportions of canvases as opposed to 5-to-8, which he finds too narrow for landscapes. He also wears only blue shirts when he is painting outdoors because it reflects light that is neither too dark, as when he'd wear a black shirt, or too highly reflected, as with a white shirt.
Top landscape painter Clyde Aspevig believes that details should be last on an artist's checklist: "By subordinating details, creating abstractions, and employing unusual compositions or techniques, we can create more knowledge gaps. These little questions or mysteries pull the viewer into further analysis."
|Early Spring Morning, Portuguese Bend
by Amy Sidrane, 2005, oil painting, 24 x 18.
Clark Hulings was a master of using diagonals in his paintings, creating a dynamic grid for the viewer's eye to travel along without ever straying far from the painting's focal point. Diagonals can be teased out of a composition in the winding roads, slumped architectural forms, or rocky hills featured. Hulings would always place diagonals in contrast to one another so that the viewer is caught in a visual net, the eye darting in, out, up, and down according to these subliminal but persuasive lines.
For me, getting plein air painting guidance from the best practitioners out there includes seeking the instruction of David Curtis via his Painting on Location Kit, which includes Painting on Location and the Atmospheric Watercolor DVD. Through these resources you'll find advice on tools and techniques, how to source and dissect all the patterns of light you'll encounter while painting outdoors, and how to represent landscapes both real and enhanced. They are watershed resources—everything you'll want to start your plein air journey this season is here. Enjoy!

In a Homeland Far From Home
By Deborah Sontag
Published: November 16, 2003
One witless day forever changed the life of Loeun Lun, a Cambodian-American who fled the killing fields as a baby and grew up in a crime-ridden housing project in Tacoma, Wash. It was not even a whole day, really, but an afternoon, a costly afternoon at the mall.
Lun himself doesn't remember the exact date. With his wide eyes and steady gaze, he is a gentle, somewhat passive guy who doesn't bother with facts and figures, even if they are the data that define him. Is he 27 or 28 years old? Lun gets it mixed up. His life, from the time he was a baby, a bag of bones in his mother's rucksack on a forced march through rural Cambodia, has been profoundly disorienting. Most of the time, Lun just tries to go with the flow.
According to court records, the particular day on which he stumbled into his fate was Aug. 20, 1994. Lun had been in the United States since kindergarten, one of the lucky Cambodians who survived Pol Pot's genocidal regime, a harrowing flight through a mine-laden jungle to Thailand and years in squalid refugee camps before making it to America. By 1994, he was a rudderless teenager, acculturated, like so many of the Cambodian refugee children, to the American inner city.
On that particular afternoon, Lun bumped into a drifter selling a nickel-plated .25-caliber handgun for $20. Unlike many other Cambodian-American guys his age, Lun had never sought refuge in a gang like the Loko Asian Boyz or the Royal Cambodian Brothers. He was a loner by nature. He had no criminal record and an aversion to risk-taking. But he was tired of being harassed in the projects and worried about his widowed mother's security. He bought the gun.
Lun then set off for the Tacoma Mall in search of basketball shoes. Once there, Lun said, a group of black teenagers began ranking on him and a friend, saying ''stuff about how we like to eat cats and dogs.'' Lun and his friend insulted them back, but outnumbered, they headed for an exit. Lun said one adversary raised his shirt to flash the butt of a gun. Lun and his friend ran outside. In a rare act of impulsiveness and violence that he has never stopped regretting, Lun punctuated his departure by firing off his new gun. Lun told me that he shot into the air; several witnesses, who were using a cash machine by the exit and found themselves in the line of fire, maintained that Lun had aimed at the black teenagers. A glass door shattered. Lun ran. The black teenagers ran, too, and the police never located them. But officers easily tracked down Lun.
Although many were endangered, nobody was hurt by the incident -- except Lun. In 1995, to the shame of his refugee mother, he pleaded guilty to assault charges. He spent a sobering 11 months in the Pierce County jail, and when he emerged, with what he thought was a clean slate, he pledged to set his life straight.
In no time at all, Lun got himself a minimum-wage factory job and fell in love with Sarom Loun, his younger sister's best friend. She was a smart, robust Cambodian-American young woman and a great influence on Lun, who never again committed another crime. Quickly, the couple settled down. Sarom Loun graduated from college and began an M.B.A. program while working in sales for a Boeing subcontractor. Lun continued on in factory jobs. They had two daughters, Emilee and Ashley, rented a suburban house and bought two cars and an enormous wide-screen TV. Lun's mother began to believe that the negative karma hovering over her son -- Cambodian Buddhists take karma seriously -- was dissipating.
As fate would have it, though, Lun's wife, who was born in a refugee camp in Thailand and had never set foot in her homeland, desperately wanted to visit Cambodia. She urged Lun to acquire citizenship so that he could get a passport. He had been eligible for naturalization since childhood, but his parents, like many Cambodian refugees, knew little about their rights and responsibilities under American law. America had granted them permanent residency, and that's all they thought they needed. They never knew that there was any advantage to acquiring citizenship and passing it on to their children. They never knew that a teenage refugee who got in trouble with the law would be protected if he were a citizen and might face deportation if he weren't. After all, the United States had not returned any refugees to Cambodia (or Vietnam or Laos) since the Vietnam War, and most Cambodian-Americans believed that refugees were protected from such punishment.
Similarly, Sarom Loun had no idea that she was jeopardizing her young family's future when she scheduled an appointment for her husband's naturalization. After all, Lun himself assumed he had no reason to avoid open, honest contact with immigration authorities. During his naturalization interview, he freely acknowledged his past offense (and his numerous traffic violations). He also took and failed the citizenship test despite having attended American schools from kindergarten to 12th grade.
Off and on for the next two years, unaware that Lun had unwittingly set in motion an investigation of his case, Sarom Loun tried to schedule a makeup exam. Finally, one official suggested over the phone that her husband report in person to the Seattle immigration office. At 7 a.m. on March 12, 2002, Lun did just that, accompanied by Sarom Loun and their two small daughters. They took a number and waited all day. When Lun was finally called, an immigration officer told him, ''You are under arrest.'' Three-year-old Emilee burst into tears. ''Daddy will be home soon,'' Lun told her.

I set RootPermitLogin to 'no' and locked system 'root' account with passwd -l. Anyway I thought that MySQL 'root' account was something "different" from the system one! The problem is that now if I try a command like (for example):
zcat db.sql.gz | mysql -u root -p db_name
I get: ERROR 1045 (28000):
Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
Ok I locked my system 'root' account but I previously set a DIFFERENT password for my MySQL 'root' account! What's happening here? And the strange thing is that I get this error when I try to execute these commands but applications like WordPress or SMF manage to connect to their database using the same MySQL 'root' account password..
I'm on Ubuntu 12.04.

"We are so pleased with the quality of our announcements. The pictures printed perfectly and they were delivered before the estimated date. We were overall pleasantly surprised!"
"Classic, romantic and just the design I was looking for. Photos & print were nicer than I anticipated, great value for the price too. Highly recommend this style!"
"I had a super small, very spur of the moment wedding. As a result none of my out of state family were able to attend. So we used these to break the news; we slipped them in everyone's holiday cards. They were a huge hit! My family adored them!! Inserting the photos was super easy and I was even able to "fix" some of them by zooming to make the clarity better. The best part for me though was the super fast shipping. I ordered on Friday night and they arrived early Monday. Now I did pay for super expedited shipping, but they arrived a day early. I am definitely ordering more and would highly recommend!!!!"
"Very happy with the whole look and design of this card....it's very easy to upload your photos and edit them. I love all the options for olors, fonts, and layout on the back of the card as well. I would recommend using the heavier stock paper. Very very happy with this product."
"This site makes doing your invitations super easy and affordable. We were beyond impressed with the quality we received. We will absolutely be using Wedding Paper Divas again!"

The Super Robot anime Lightspeed Electrogod Albegas (光速電神アルベガス Kousoku Denjin Arubegasu) debuted in 1983 amongst a sea of many robot anime. Had things gone differently for World Events Productions, it would have been formally incorporated into the Voltron mythos.Three high school kids named Daisaku, Tetsuya and Hotaru, construct three giant robots named Alpha Robot, Beta Robot and Gamma Robot as part of a school science fair. At the same time, the evil Derringer Empire decides to expand its domain to Earth. When the villains begin their attack, Hotarus dad, Professor Mizuki, modifies the robots into combat machines that can merge into the Super Robot Albegas.
- Combining Mecha: In six different ways!
- Expy: Conceptually, the show is a very obvious copy of Getter Robo, straight down to "the three vehicles combine differently to produce different robots". This is a large part of the reason the show is forgotten in Japan, as it was generally seen as an inferior copy of Getter.
- Humongous Mecha
- Improbable Age: Three kids, still in High School, building three giant robots. Nuff said.

A new coach. Some new players. And a brand new outlook on basketball life for the Evergreen girls basketball program.
A year after losing every game on the schedule, the Plainsmen are the Class 4A District 4 champions.
Justine Joudrey made four 3-pointers and scored 17 points Thursday night, leading Evergreen to a 29-24 victory over Class 4A Greater St. Helens League champion Skyview.
Yes, 29-24.
Yes, 53 combined points.
And while no one will call it a pretty basketball game, no one at Evergreen is complaining about the result.
Joudrey, who injured her right arm in the closing minutes, was the first to step up on the ladder to cut down one of the nets at Skyview High School. With her arm in a sling — she said will get X-rays but hopes it is just a bone bruise — she needed help from teammates on the proper etiquette.
"I've never done it before," said Joudrey, who played for Heritage last year.
"I dreamed of this since I was a little kid. This is all I worked for, for this moment right now. I've watched everyone else cut down the net. Now I get to do it. It's the greatest feeling ever."
Evergreen coach Jay Foreman knows some may wonder how his team got so good so fast. Of course, there was an influx of talent, as well as his fresh perspective on the game. But, he said, the bottom line is this team, this year, worked for this championship.
He was in tears watching his players on the ladder. Then, when it was his turn, he held the championship trophy high and pointed to his team, his fans.
"I couldn't believe it," he said. "I was happy they stuck with it, worked so hard. With all the controversy that we've had, this is a very proud moment. These girls stuck with it."
After a sluggish first quarter for both teams, Evergreen picked up some breathing room in the second quarter, outscoring the Storm 11-5. Joudrey had nine of her points in the period.
"As soon as we stepped on the floor, I just had the feeling we were going to win this game," Joudrey said. "No doubt in my mind."
Joudrey outscored the Storm 14-11 in the first half.
But the final score proves this game had little to do with offense.
"This is why we won this game, because of our defense," said Joudrey, who also had three steals and seven rebounds. "Jay always tells us defense wins games. That's what happened tonight."
Skyview missed its first 12 shots of the game and ended the night 8 for 57, 14 percent. The Storm had fewer turnovers and more offensive rebounds than Evergreen and ended up taking 20 more shots. Didn't matter, not with the proverbial lid over the basket.
Delaney Keser led Skyview with eight points. Brooke Bowen and Macy Mukensnabl each scored five points and combined for 19 rebounds.
Shamerica Scott, who played for Fort Vancouver last year, had 14 rebounds for the Plainsmen, giving her 27 in the two district games this week.
"This is us," she said after the post-game ceremony. "We know we're the best team in Southwest Washington, and we proved it tonight. And we have the best coach in Southwest Washington."
Amber Berry, one of six seniors on the team and who endured so much losing during the previous three seasons, said all the pain is worth it now.
"Amazing. I love everybody on this team," Berry said. "We're a family. It's the best feeling ever."
A championship feeling … for the Evergreen girls basketball team.
Evergreen will host a one-game playoff for a berth to the 4A state tournament at 7 p.m. Saturday against a District 2 opponent. Skyview, as the No. 2 seed from district, will travel north for Saturday's playoff.

Mortimer looked up from his notes. The Professor had suggested the introduction. It was no doubt meant for a larger crowd than had actually turned out for his lecture. A dozen young students sat in clusters throughout the hall, many of them not looking at the lectern where Mortimer stood. A smattering of older fellows, scholars, were sprinkled about the room. One was asleep. Mortimer sighed and looked back to his notes.
"I have been most fortunate to collaborate with the renowned Professor Lorrimor on my research." A couple heads lifted at the Professor's name. Mortimer suppressed a smirk. The Professor's name was good for attracting attention. Many of the younger students were keenly interested in the more sensational tales of his adventures. The older scholars and faculty less so, but it still got them to look up.
"The subject of my research is the Unquiet Dead, or simply Undead if you prefer." Mortimer smiled before continuing. "But I am not here to discuss theory and philosophy, but practical matters. Observations made in the field." Several of the students looked more interested now. Mortimer walked over to a large chest on the stage and drew a key from its pouch around his neck. The lock made a satisfying clack as he turned it. After opening the chest, he withdrew a heavy, ornate crossbow of impressive proportions. Mortimer couldn't stop himself from stroking the dark wood stock and the iron filigree that decorated and reinforced it. Placing it on the table next to the lectern he then withdrew several more items. A case of crossbow bolts, a mace, a saber, a slightly damp paper package and a dog's skull. Many of the people in the room were now paying attention. He closed the chest and unwrapped the package, revealing a hunk of meat - probably pork, and placed it atop the chest.
"Combating the Undead is a matter of matching the weapon to the target." he explained, picking up the mace, he then said. "The common Zombie, whose form is like this hunk of meat, is not particularly vulnerable to most blows." He then walked over to the table, selected the mace, and then thumped it full force with the weapon. The meat made a squishing sound, and flattened under the blow. "As you can see, while tenderized somewhat, it is not terribly deformed."
The students chuckled nervously. All of them were paying attention now.
"But, apply the correct type of force..." he said, grabbing the saber, "and you will receive much better results!" With a swing of the blade, he sliced the hunk of meat in two. Stabbing one piece with the end of the sword, he held it up for the audience to see. When he was satisfied they had the concept in their heads, he dropped the hunk of meat onto the table. "The common skeletal Undead, on the other hand..." Mortimer picked up the skull and placed it on the chest. He swung over hand at the skull, and the blow deflected off the top the blade of the sword clanging off the iron bands on the chest. "Is resistant to blades, but not..." he grabs the mace. "to blunt trauma." The skull shatters under the mace's heavy head.
"Thus, you see, we must choose our weapons carefully when fighting our Undead foes." he says.
One of the students raises his hand. "Uh, sir. Why not just let a Cleric destroy them for you?"
Mortimer's expression darkened and he frowned. After a moment, restraining the venom in his tone. "Yes, many Clerical adepts are proficient in defeating the Undead, but just as many are the cause of their depredations. Do you not know that many a Necromancer hides under the cassock of a holy person? Their powers are able to create and control the Undead."
The rest of his presentation passed in a blur. His audience were amused by his demonstrations, but he feared they did not get the practicality of his observations. The older scholars left early, and the students took few notes. By the end, Mortimer, his temper aroused, stormed out of the lecture hall. Outside, his wagon waited. He loaded his chest into it and then sat behind the reins. Shortly thereafter a man approached. "Oh, Mortimer." he said.
"Yes Rolf?" Mortimer snapped. "What is it?"
"This letter just arrived for you." he said, handing it up with a frown.
Mortimer forced a smile and reached down to receive it. He waited until the other man departed. He tore it open and began to read, his cheeks blanching and his jaw dropping as he read. "Oh, no... not the Professor..." he whispered.
He sat in shock for a time. Mortimer could hardly believe what he read, but the signiature on the letter could not be disbelieved. The man who had so supported his efforts, who had been like a father to him, was dead. What was he to do without his guidance? Suddenly he felt like he needed to get to grips with something unliving, to tear it apart and end its mockery of life. His memory leapt to the first time he had met the Professor. A hunting expedition of sorts. Mortimer was a callow youth, ordered to escort the Professor to his ancestral burial ground. Reports of the Unquiet Dead in their family's holdings had reached his father in Ardis, and through an acquaintance Professor Lorrimor was engaged to help investigate. It was years ago, but it stayed in the forefront of his mind. What he and the Professor found in the village was a pall of fear and mistrust. The local priest, a fawning man with unsavory looks, assured them there was nothing to fear. He and the temple were taking care of the problem. Lorrimor was not fooled. He began to investigate, and this forced the hand of the foul Necromancer, who pretended to be a priest and who had dominated the villagers with the threat of a fate worse than death. When the horde of Zombies finally assaulted the house they were staying in, Lorrimor was ready for them, and armed Mortimer and the few retainers they had left with the knowledge and weapons they needed to prevail. Even so, the horror they endured left a deep mark on Mortimer. When he emerged to see the ruin the Necromancer had made of the village and the brutality he had visited on the villagers, animating their loved ones and forcing them to remain quiet, a part of Mortimer's heart became dark with hatred. He dedicated the next years of his life to studying the Undead and how to kill them. Lorrimor, saddened to see the scars the experience had left on the young man, tried to channel his new passion, educating him on what he knew of the Undead. As he grew older, and Lorrimor was pulled away to continue his own studies, he kept in touch, sharing the nuggets of his own research on the Undead.
The Necromancer, pretending to be a Cleric of Pharasma, fled. Mortimer tried to track him down, but the local Church of Pharasma was intractable and tried to cover it up, saying they were the only ones qualified to pursue the man. Mortimer never heard if the caught him and believes to this day that he is still out there somewhere, and spares time to hunt the man when he can, but the trail has grown cold beneath a pall of whispers.
Mortimer, a deep sadness in his heart, directed his horse home. He packed his things and departed for Ravengro to attend the Professor's funeral.

Inquiry, in Rebuff, Immunizes 5
By ERIC SCHMITT
Published: July 24, 1997
WASHINGTON, July 23— Acting with unusual bipartisanship, the Senate committee investigating campaign finance abuses rebuffed the Justice Department today and voted to grant immunity from prosecution to five potential witnesses, including four nuns involved in a Democratic fund-raiser attended by Vice President Al Gore at a Buddhist temple last year.
The vote came on a day when the Senate panel, the Governmental Affairs Committee, heard two witnesses lay the groundwork for Democratic accusations that as Republican national chairman, Haley Barbour solicited an illegal contribution from a Hong Kong businessman. Mr. Barbour, party chairman from 1993 through 1996, will testify Thursday.
Against the recommendation of the Justice Department, the committee voted 15 to 1 to offer immunity to the four nuns, who investigators contend made significant cash contributions to the Democratic Party despite having taken vows of poverty.
In all, members of the temple to which the nuns belong, in the Los Angeles suburb of Hacienda Heights, gave the party some $100,000, during and after the event attended by Mr. Gore. The event was organized by John Huang, who was then a leading Democratic fund-raiser and has become a central figure in the inquiry.
Committee investigators say the nuns will offer detailed testimony that Mr. Huang pressured the temple to contribute, mainly by having nuns and monks each write checks of up to $5,000. The temple, that of a sect based in Taiwan, then illegally reimbursed those donors, and did so with money that came from foreign banks, investigators say.
On a vote of 13 to 3, the committee also agreed to grant immunity to the fifth prospective witness, Keshi Zhan, a municipal employee in Arlington, Va. Ms. Zhan worked as a fund-raising hostess for Yah Lin Trie, whose activities on the Democrats' behalf have been tied to large sums in improper donations and who has fled to China rather than cooperate with investigators.
The Justice Department had argued that granting immunity to these five witnesses, all of whom had refused to testify without it, could jeopardize any future effort by the department to prosecute them. But ''the committee has decided it values testimony more than prosecutions,'' a Justice Department spokesman, Bert Brandenburg, said in a telephone interview today.
The committee needed a two-thirds majority to vote immunity, and achieved it easily. Members said aides to Attorney General Janet Reno had failed to show that they were serious about making targets of any of the five.
The committee's Republicans had been criticizing the department for weeks, and today even some Democrats said the department had been uncooperative and patronizing in its dealings with the panel.
''I have found the Justice Department's response to our request for information and guidance to be less than thorough,'' said Senator Robert G. Torricelli of New Jersey, one of the committee's more partisan Democrats. ''They have complicated the work of this committee and, in my judgment, cannot be allowed to become an excuse for the committee not proceeding.''
Senator Richard J. Durbin, Democrat of Illinois, said, ''We are now in an impossible position in relationship to our dealings with the Department of Justice.''
Six of the committee's seven Democrats joined its nine Republicans in voting to offer immunity to the nuns. Only Senator Joseph I. Lieberman of Connecticut was in opposition on that vote, although he was joined by two other Democrats, Mr. Durbin and Senator Daniel K. Akaka of Hawaii, in opposing immunity for Ms. Zhan.
Explaining his votes, Mr. Lieberman said the Justice Department simply did not want ''to lose five potential targets of their case.''
Congressional investigators and Federal prosecutors have tussled for decades over these competing priorities: the prosecution of crimes, against the Congressional airing of possible wrongdoing. Judicial decisions that overturned the criminal convictions of Oliver L. North and John M. Poindexter, the main witnesses at the Iran-contra hearings a decade ago, showed that Congressional grants of immunity could make successful prosecutions impossible.
But Senator Fred Thompson, the Tennessee Republican who heads the committee, said these five witnesses were relatively minor figures in the campaign finance case and so ''certainly do not fall in the category of a North or a Poindexter.''
Before seeking an immunity order from a Federal district judge, a step that is nothing more than formal, the Senate must now give the Justice Department 10 days' notice. The department may then seek an additional delay, of up to 20 days. That period enables the department to gather and then seal any evidence it may already have against the five witnesses, so that, if it ever decides to prosecute them, it will be able to demonstrate that its evidence does not stem from their committee testimony, for which they will be immunized.
Republican investigators would relish the prospect of having the Buddhist nuns testify next week, the last week of hearings before Congress goes on vacation. Unless the Justice Department waives much of the 30-day period, though, the nuns will most likely testify when the hearings resume in September.
Mr. Brandenburg, the Justice Department spokesman, said it was unclear whether the department would use the entire time allotted it.

The discovery and use of antibiotics has had an enormous impact on our health care system. Nowadays, the treatment and prevention of microbial infections fully depends on the availability of effective antibiotics. In addition to this, advanced surgical procedures like organ transplants, cancer chemotherapy and care of preterm babies heavily relies on effective antibiotics. Unfortunately, the emergence and rise of resistance to the currently available antimicrobial drugs threatens the treatment of both hospital- and community-acquired bacterial infections and endangers many modern medical practices. This situation is further aggravated by a sharp decline in the discovery of new antimicrobial drugs needed to overcome drug resistance. Such developments represent a looming crisis for our health care system.
It is crucial to contain antimicrobial drug resistance (AMDR) and to nourish research aimed at combating it. This research need has been addressed within the EU framework programmes, where AMDR has been given a high priority over the last decade with significant financial support from the Health Directorate of the Directorate General for Research (DG RTD) in the European Commission.
The development and spread of AMDR are amongst the areas that are currently being investigated together with novel evidence based approaches to manage patients with a view of optimizing antibiotic use. In addition, the discovery and development of novel antimicrobial drugs and the identification of their molecular targets are areas that have attracted funding. This is of prime importance since only few antimicrobial agents have been launched during the last 30 to 40 years. Underinvestment in antibiotic research and development by the major pharmaceutical industry has contributed to this problem. The research projects that are supported by the Health Directorate of DG RTD aim to form and support multidisciplinary collaborations, to obtain a critical mass of researchers investigating AMDR within Europe, and to mobilize the European biotech industry.

The Sudan since 1989: National Islamic Front Rule
Fluehr-Lobban, Carolyn, Lobban, Richard, Arab Studies Quarterly (ASQ)
THE SUDAN, AFRICA'S LARGEST COUNTRY, is often viewed as being peripheral to both the 'Arab' Middle East and non-Arab Africa. As a dominantly Muslim country it is often included in regional Middle Eastern political geography, while its important role in Islamic Africa is often ignored. The non-Muslim Nilotic and other minority peoples in the Sudan are usually forgotten except as they are referenced in terms of the "southern problem" in the country's chronic and protracted civil war, unbroken since 1955 except for about a decade of negotiated peace, 1972-83. The latest round of civil war since 1983, has unleashed a period of political developments resulting in unprecedented loss of life, human rights violations, and displacement of Sudanese citizens, and ecological destruction. On the political front this period witnessed the toppling of the military dictator Ja'afar Nimeiri in 1985, followed by a period of civilian democracy in which Sadiq al-Mahdi (great grandson of Muhammad Ahmed the 19th century Mahdi) was elected and ruled as Prime Minister until the nascent, fragile democracy was overthrown in an Islamist military coup d'etat in 1989 led by General 'Umar Hasan al-Bashir and politically backed by Muslim Brother leader Hasan al-Turabi. The Bashir-Turabi regime was built upon the relatively narrow political base of the National Islamic Front (NIF), a party that was the direct descendant of the Muslim Brotherhood and created by Turabi in 1985 after the overthrow of Nimeiri with whom he had been closely associated.
The turbulent decade of the 1990s that this special issue covers begins with the 1989 coup which launched the decade and saw the entrenchment of an extremist Islamist regime that isolated the Sudan as a pariah nation on a number of fronts, including its African neighbors whose borders were affected by its civil war causing the displacement (or death) of over 2 million southern Sudanese, and most recently the disruption caused by the Ethiopian-Eritrean war. The alienation of much of the Arab-Islamic Middle East for its Islamist extremism (with the exception of Iran, Iraq, and Afghanistan), and in particular its key rival-ally Egypt has also been witnessed. The Bashir-Turabi regime has drawn the wrath of the American-led West in reaction to its alleged support of terrorism. America's frustration with the Sudan grew over the decade during which it alleged that Sudan was involved in the bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993, the attempted assassination of Hosni Mubarak in 1995, and saw the Sudan as the chief source of aid and support to Usama Bin Laden. Its frustration culminated in the U.S. bombing of the al-Shifa factory in Khartoum North in the wake of the bombing of the American embassies in Nairobi and Dar As-Salaam in 1998. The improbability of the Sudan as a hotbed for terrorism began to gain some credibility. At the same time Hasan al-Turabi became an international figure presented as a cosmopolitan, multilingual, 'modern' Islamist whose theories about the nature and future of the Islamic state became highly regarded in Islamist circles and feared by military and monarchical regimes in the Arab-Islamic world and were rejected in the West as undemocratic and not in conformity with the western notion of 'civil society'. The intense political rift between Bashir and Turabi during 2000, in which the ultimate power of Bashir's guns over Turabi's words was proven, leaves open a number of questions about the long-term viability of the NW regime. Since the political break Bashir has been trying to recast himself as a "democrat" with the promise of elections, while Turabi has been left to try to mobilize his supporters in a new National Congress Party which he has thrown against the "deviationist" regime, no longer committed to pure Islamist goals. The Bashir regime moved to make peace with the opposition traditional Umma Party and Khatmiya sect leaving the united front National Democratic Alliance opposition group floundering. …
