Panel Stretch Layout does not accept direct children; children contents can be placed inside facets only. Panel Stretch Layout supports five facets that specify the panes where children contents can be inserted:
end, and
<af:panelStretchLayout ..>
<f:facet name="bottom"/>
<f:facet name="center"/>
<f:facet name="start"/>
<f:facet name="end"/>
<f:facet name="top"/>
Panel Stretch Layout is a stretching layout component, that is, it forces specific dimensions onto its children components so that the children in the
center facet are stretched to fill up available space in the browser when end users resize the browser.
The available space in the
center facet may be constrained by the presence of children in the
start, and
end facets. The height of the
top facet is determined by the
TopHeight attribute of Panel Stretch Layout; the height of the
bottom facet is determined by the
BottomHeight attribute. Similarly, the width of the
start and
end facet is determined by the
StartWidth and
EndWidth attribute, respectively.
By default, JDeveloper uses 50 pixels each for the
StartWidth, and
EndWidth attributes. When children are present in the
start, and
end facets, they occupy space defined by those attributes. Children components in the
top and
bottom facets are stretched up to the height set by
TopHeight and
BottomHeight, respectively, and children in the
start and
end facets are stretched up to the width set by
StartWidth and
EndWidth, respectively. Children components in the
center facet are then stretched according to available space.

White Samsung Galaxy Ace announced (in South Korea)
Samsung has announced that its new Galaxy Ace has been launched in South Korea – and the important part here is the unveiling of a white version of the smartphone.
Previously, Samsung said that the Galaxy Ace only has a black version. Now both the black and white ones can be purchased in Korea, via SK Telecom, for 600,000 KRW (about $532) each.
There's no word if the white Galaxy Ace will be released in other markets, but it most probably will.
The Samsung Galaxy Ace runs Android 2.2 Froyo and features a 3.5 inch HVGA display, TouchWiz 3.0 UI, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, DLNA, GPS, 3.5mm headset jack, 5MP autofocus camera, 800MHz processor, and MicroSD card support (a 2GB card comes pre-installed).

Transfer Window: Day Nine
- 09 January 2013 08:35
- Posted by @markbooth_mcfc
Today's top story concerns our Bosnian hitman Edin Dzeko, who is reportedly being sought out by Inter as long-term successor to Diego Milito.
The Daily Mail's reckons that the 26-year old is on a three-man shortlist which also includes Marseille striker Loic Remy and Internacional's Leandro Damiao.
"Both are wanted in England with Newcastle maintaining interest in Remy and Tottenham hopeful of signing Brazil international Damiao at the third attempt for around £15million," writes Jones.
"City are reluctant to sell Dzeko without finding a replacement first.
"Edinson Cavani at Napoli is one target but the Italians' excessive valuation of £50million is proving prohibitive."
That isn't the only publication forecasting a move for the Uruguayan striker, as alleged quotes from City coach Angelo Gregucci, as reported on ESPN.co.uk, give the rumour another layer of credos.
"I don't know if the club will lay siege to Napoli for Cavani, but every club with a player of the highest level will know they'll be courted by bigger clubs," Gregucci told Radio CRC. "Mancini decides the transfer targets along with the new directors.
"If you ask the clubs who can afford Cavani, for example Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Manchester United, then I think they'd want Cavani just as Manchester City want him.
"However, what the player wants is the predominant factor in negotiations and it seems to me that Cavani is happy at Napoli."
Remember that all transfer talk is just conjecture until you read it here first on mcfc.co.uk.
This week's BBC Radio Manchester Blue Tuesday podcast is now available to download for all you commuters looking for some City-centric aural treats.
In this week's episode, Ian Cheeseman and Paul Lake hear from City u18s manager Adam Sadler, who previews Thursday's FA Youth Cup fourth round tie against Burnley which takes place at the Etihad Stadium.
It's free for seasoncard holders and £3 for adults, £1 for children to attend, so come down and catch a glimpse of some of the great work going on down at the Academy - not to mention, a chance to see Marcos Lopes' first appearance since his first-team debut...
Elsewhere, David Silva celebrated his 27th birthday yesterday with a cake befitting of the occasion and he took to his official Twitter account @21lva to share a picture and thank his fans for all their messages.
"Celebrating my Birthday with my family, many thanks for the good wishes. All the best."
...David Silva: @21lva...
Finally, EPLindex.com have been trawling through statistics from the first half of the season to put together some experimental league tables and have found that City are the most accurate Premier League side when it comes to getting shots on target.
There's plenty of food for thought on that site, so head on over and take a look for yourself.

GluckRadio Podcast with Dr. Errol Gluck and Betsy Prioleau
Two relationships experts interviewed me about The Marriage Act, what marriage is and should be, and what Emir and I learned from our unconventional union. Check out the podcast here
An Interview With The Marriage Act's Main "Characters"
This week, I interviewed "Penny" and "Emir" about their thoughts on being portrayed in a non-fiction book, whether my marriage to Emir was legal, illegal, or a gray area, and what they like and dislike about the book — and me.
Love in the Time of DOMA…And Everything After
The latest piece about The Marriage Act — it's all about love.20140306_XMT_NYC_PG018
Interview Magazine calls The Marriage Act
"a tender, true exploration of human relationships."
Written with wit and wisdom, Monroy captures the mysterious essence of what tugs at our hearts, what makes certain human relationships love affairs, friendships, partnerships. The lines that divide us, the rings that bring us together, and how to find hope when it all falls apart.
Read the full interview here
Overdue Requisite Post-AWP Post
It's been over a week since #AWP14 but it feels like two days–I wonder if this feeling is a result of getting older, but I get more of a "hangover" from things, like AWP in Seattle was so much fun, being in the Freerange Reading, moderating "Strange Families: Domestic Stories Illuminating Social Issues," and seeing all kinds of friends, colleagues, and acquaintances at the bookfair and offsite events (even getting The Profiler to join me in my reading since she's based there now)–but afterwards I was SO TIRED. Like I needed to hibernate for a week, recharge and get my energy back. This is a strange and foreign feeling so I wonder if it's the mid-thirties creeping up on me…I kept joking that I was "old" — and I know I'm not, and that age is just a state of mind and attitude anyway — but it really felt different. I need more downtime to recover from intensely social activities. I'm not even caught up on my email yet!
But anyway, the purpose of this post was to share my annual post-AWP roundup of things seen, heard, and learned. This year's is a simplified version, "The Best Things You Can't Put In The Tote Bag."
-Nick Flynn in the passenger seat of my grandmother's old Toyota, my mom giving him a ride back to the convention center and him asking to stop for pizza first
-Quasi-acrobatic dancing with Antonia Crane and Stephen Elliott after the VIDA reading
-Panel on Post-publication promotion–your book being published is only the beginning, not the end, of its life. Fresh Air had one author on 11 months after her book came out; New York Magazine reviewed a book three months after it came out and "everything changed." (*reassurance)
-Chuck Palahniuk reading William S. Burroughs for the centennial of his (Burroughs' birth
-Poet Matthew Dickman at the Copywriting panel: "What does the darkness and the shadow have to do with my anti-lock breaks?" (on being a poet doing copywriting for money). He also said something hilarious about someone telling him a writer should "work with his hands" as his day job, to which Matthew responded, "I'm not going to clean a butcher shop for the rest of my life because you think it's fucking romantic." Aside from being amazing and hilarious, he has written Superbowl spots and won awards for his poems.
-Having my mom, The Profiler, speak briefly at the panel about her experience being portrayed in my memoir.
-I am sure there are more, but I forgot.
What Is Marriage?
My mother was a career immigration expert who busted fraud. I was in love with my best friend (just not in the sex-having way) and wanted to marry him so he could stay in the country — with me.
We lived together, shared everything (apartment, bank accounts, grocery shopping, everyday activities and adventures), and I never would believe our marriage anything but legitimate. Mom had more stringent definitions. In this country, when laws are unjust, unfair, and wrong, we change them. Having the power to change laws and ideas that the culture has evolved beyond is part of what makes the U.S. so great.
Here, my mom and I discuss our diverging views on TV. Check us out and chime in with your own perspective in the comments!
I Haven't Seen Any Other Penises.
My mother says I'm not as clever as I could be.
"Why didn't you just tell the INS officer you were a virgin before you married Emir?" she asked about the scene in The Marriage Act where an INS officer asks me if Emir is circumcised or not and I don't know the answer because, well. "Why wouldn't you just say, 'I haven't seen any other penises?'"
Good point, Mom.
Check us out jointly reading a scene together at Seattle's awesome Elliott Bay Book Company! Great job, Profiler Mom! We will also jointly be on TV in Portland, Oregon on Monday – if KCRW's Profiler segment was any indication, it should garner some laughs and potentially awkward moments. I'll post it here when it airs.
L.A. Book Launch, readings, & press
Launch for the book was on Thursday at Book Soup, my favorite independent bookstore in LA. We all went down to The Abbey for the after-party, where there were go-go dancers, a bachelor party, and throwback cocktails from the book (ie, Cosmopolitans). I met my amazing editor, Dan Smetanka, for the first time, and had a blast spending the evening with him and a group of LA friends old and new. Dan snapped the picture of me with the go-go dancer (Marriage Act in his bikini bottoms!) and called it "a Soft Skull kind of book party." Such a good time. I hope Hollywood calls for the book so I can go back…Hey, film execs! READ THIS
I am also on the cover of the Santa Cruz Weekly this week, which is my lovely beach town's version of the Village Voice. Tomorrow, San Francisco! At BOOKS INC, Castro Location.
Pub day post! And an open letter/response to "controversy"
The Marriage Act is officially out, and it has been an interesting day. While life continues on as normal in happy little beach town–attempting to housebreak a potbellied pig, having a creative meeting over coffee with a friend, biking home in the sun, eating a Mediterranean Veggie Wrap from a deli–there's been a whole lot of simultaneous online stuff brewing about the book…from where I sit, it feels like something happening over in a parallel dimension. I muse over the label of "controversy," as an article in the New York Post–the cover story for the Pulse section puts it. They used the headline (in the print edition) "I was in a sham marriage," which is what I want to address. I know what the headline writers are going for, but if you read the book, it is actually about revealing all the ways it was NOT a "sham" at all. (And I hate the word sham.) The article itself gets at the more nuanced notions of love, commitment, humor, and keeping someone you love with you, which are main ideas in the book. Calling it a sham may sell newspapers, but what I want to retort here is that I myself never used that word. Never would. Because it simply wasn't. Which brings me back to the book's original question: "who gets to decide what is real?" What kinds of love are "valid" or "invalid"–can there be such determining factors? The article spawned a few others, here and here, which pilfered photos from my Facebook page. My intent isn't a complaint; I'm not easily offended or put off and was amused to see the random Facebook photos there–I prefer a healthy engagement (no pun intended) with difficult, complex subject matter–but what does interest me in looking at this is the nature of the times we're living in. Everyone has a forum, or at least a (blogging) platform. We have online profiles carefully tailored to convey crafted personas of ideal selves. Everyone has the potential to be connected to everyone else. All material is fair game, public property, part of the commons. And once an author puts a story out there, there is very little she can control about interpretation and reaction. That's part of what is so beautiful, frightening, and frighteningly beautiful about creating–and releasing–your art, and the ideas that matter most to you in the world.
What do you think? I welcome email and comments, even from the crazy basement people, with your thoughts on the book, the topic of love and marriage and how we define it today.
If you read the book (and I hope you will!) I hope you enjoy it and find some food for thought in there….

New York attorneys Steven Phillips and his wife Diane Paolicelli Phillips regard their rescued collie mixed breed dog, Marcus as part of the family, but have been met with animosity and an eviction notice terminating the couple's proprietary lease in their luxury co-op as of August 15, according to the New York Post.
The couple are now suing their coop board at 870 UN Plaza for forcing them to choose between getting rid of their 12-year-old arthritic dog with failing kidneys or moving out of their multimillion dollar duplex apartment.
The hostility against the gentle dog began in June 2012, when Marcus nipped at another tenant's finger; the tenant allegedly admitted to putting his finger in front of Marcus' face as his (the other tenant) walked his own dog, a Sharpei. A year later, when a neighbor complained Marcus lunged at him, new rules for the senior pooch were dictated. The dog's owners defended Marcus stating he just barked at the other tenant.
In a decision by the coop board, the owners were ordered to restrain their dog and demanded the dog be muzzled whenever he left the apartment. For a while, the couple complied, but felt the muzzle was "inhumane and unnecessary" according to records and wrote back to the coop board stating:
"Marcus is a beloved member of our family. We rescued him when he was a puppy, and he is not going to suffer at your or anybody else's hands."
And if that wasn't contentious enough, the coop board threatened to call the Department of Health to have Marcus declared a vicious dog and have him euthanized.
The dog's owners hired a dog behaviorist to evaluate their dog who stated the dog showed no aggressive tendencies and was gentle and well-behaved.
"There are other dogs in the building whose behavior is far more vicious and threatening than Marcus."
The couple believe the coop is against big dogs. Marcus weighs 75 pounds and is described by his owners as a gentle companion.
Marcus is so fortunate his human family is able to afford his legal representation; many thanks to a couple who take their dog's guardian responsibilities seriously.

Fans had a good time, to say the least, at The Royal Flush Concert on Saturday, Jan. 17. Sponsored by Concrete Truth, the concert featured various local artists with Flame as headliner.
Hosted by popular funny man Trenton Ford, the audience was pumped before the first artist could even step on the stage.
"Now, you can jump around, you can scream, but you cannot sit down," Ford told the crowd. "You gotta get on your feet!" Following his lead, onlookers jumped up and jammed to the pre-show music spun by Kansas City's DJ Shep.
Held at Christian Fellowship Baptist Church, Prince Flash kicked off the show with an astounding performance that got the crowd hype.
Cephas took the stage next. The audience chanted "We got power!" with him as he performed the hit from his album "Talking @ Cha."
Undergrad followed up with his new single "I'm Yours" from his latest project "Rubik's Cube: The Blue Album," scheduled to release this April. The song was well received, as it honors marriages upheld by godly standards.
The perfect follow up, Young Fatha did a number about the Proverbs 31 woman which featured the smooth crooning of TeRance Golden.
SHOCK Muzik's Jus B and Solo rocked the stage with a couple of songs from their album "Hope City."
Next, Lifeline Music put on an extraordinary show. Performing "Get Plugged In" and "Dead People," their set was complete with theatrical lighting and scary zombies.
Sauce Remix spread his message of improving the community when he did his popular single "Gunshots."
After a short intermission, Flame took the stage. Authentic and true to a consistent message of God's saving grace, Flame gave the audience an encouraging word:
"If you don't feel loved, know that God has shown his love you for you in the most unique way... Jesus."
Chozen Boy served as Flame's DJ and was very impressive on the one's and two's.
Mike Real rocked out with Flame and the audience was especially pleased when they brought down the house with "Sanctuary."
In addition to hits featured on "Royal Flush," the crowd showed much enthusiasm when oldie-but-goodie "Joyful Noise" blew through the speakers.
Concluding the evening with a prayer, Flame mingled with fans in the lounge taking pictures, signing autographs, and conversing with anyone who wanted to share a conversation with him.
Humble, honest, and genuine, Flame can always be counted on for a great show and sound doctrine.
"Man! The show was turned up," said Devon "Chev Dev" Price, CEO of Concrete Truth. "I want to thank Flame, Mike Real, and Chozen Boy for coming through the town. We kicked it and had good fellowship."

Simon's passion as a photographer, goes beyond capturing the beauty and majesty of nature and the world about him. As he puts it, "Not all of my photographic works could be considered photographic master pieces. That's not my reason for photographing what I do. To me, if one of my photographs brings a smile to another face, a moment of inner bliss, to the viewer, then, to me, that is the single most important piece of work I have created to date. My single aim is to bring some enrichment and joy into other people's lives through my photography. Simon has also had a life long love of books. With Blurb he can bring his two greatest loves together, and share them with the world. His aim and Hope in doing so is to help enrich, inspire, uplift and bring joy into other peoples lives.

City v Liverpool now a sell-out
- 07 January 2013 12:38
- Posted by @dclayton_MCFC
City's home Barclays Premier League game with Liverpool on Sunday, 3 February has now sold out.
Please note the following:
Hospitality is available for this match, with prices starting at £150 + VAT. To book, call 0161 444 1894 (option 1, option 2) or email: email@example.com.
Ticket Exchange – Viagogo, the official Ticket Exchange of Manchester City FC
2012/13 Superbia & Platinum members who are unable to attend a Barclays Premier League home fixture now have the opportunity to place their match ticket for sale to other members on the Ticket Exchange website. Whilst any adult member can buy tickets through Ticket Exchange, only Platinum and Superbia members can sell them.
Disabled Superbia & Platinum members are restricted from selling their tickets using the Exchange due to complexities around the allocation of specific seats / bays and assistant entitlements. Disabled supporters who require a wheelchair space and walking ambulant supporters who require an assistant and wish to sell their seat, should contact Supporter Services on 0161 444 1894 (option 1, option 1, option 1). Any Superbia & Platinum supporter, who qualifies as Walking Ambulant, without an associated assistant, can sell their ticket through the Ticket Exchange.
Official Match Ticket
Entry to the Stadium will be granted on the presentation of a valid ticket purchased from the Club or through the Viagogo Ticket Exchange only. The Club excludes all liability to any supporter who is denied entry to the Stadium as a result of their ticket having been purchased through an unauthorised seller. The unauthorised sale or disposal of tickets may also amount to a criminal offence and the Club will inform the police as soon as it becomes aware of any unauthorised sale or disposal of tickets.
Be Blue

Consider becoming a Blue Member with benefits including automatically being placed on the 2013-14 Season Membership wait list* and the option to add 'Match Ticket Priority' for the best chance to see all the big games.

Important Supporter Information
Visiting the Stadium
The stadium address for satellite navigation is: Etihad Stadium, Manchester M11 3FF. If you have not visited the Etihad Stadium before, we want you to enjoy the whole experience, and that starts with how to get here and where to park.
Supporters requiring a taxi after the final whistle are advised to make their way to Ashton New Road where taxis are located. Due to road closures immediately after the game, taxis are unable to enter the Etihad Campus for at least one hour after the final whistle. Those supporters wishing to travel in to Manchester City centre may board supporter buses which are also located on Ashton New Road opposite the South Stand.
Persistent Standing
To help continue improving the matchday experience for all supporters, we ask that you respect the club's request to avoid persistent standing at all games. This is one of our biggest sources of complaints from your fellow supporters in all sections of the stadium. We wish to make our matchdays as enjoyable an experience as possible for all of our fans and, as such, we request that you and fellow supporters remain in your seat for the majority of the match. Fans who breach these requests may be ejected from the stadium, and in some cases may have their membership card withdrawn. Please help us to avoid such measures by co-operating with this request and help us to create an enjoyable experience for all of our fans. We thank you for your support in helping us ensure a visit to the Etihad Stadium is a great experience.
Manchester City Football Club prides itself on having the best fans in the country and we greatly appreciate your support in enforcing the code of conduct. You are purchasing tickets which are located in stands which seat home fans only. We expect all supporters to behave in a manner appropriate to their surroundings. This code must be adhered to. Failure to comply could result in you being asked to leave the Stadium. For high profile games, such as local derbies or cup games, a zero tolerance policy will be in operation.
Prohibited Items
The following items are not allowed to be brought in to the Etihad Stadium:
- Golf umbrella or any article that may be used as a weapon and/or compromise public safety.
- Professional recording equipment (audio and visual).
- Bags larger than A4 size.
- Prams and pushchairs (these can be left at your own risk at the City@Home reception located at Gate 11 for collection after the match).
Please note that the entire Etihad Campus, including roadways, car parks and concourses, is smoke free. The use of electronic cigarettes is also prohibited. Manchester City Football Club operates a strict, no re-admission policy and there will not be an opportunity to leave and re-enter the Stadium.
The Ticket Office and Supporter Services are open Monday - Saturday, 9am to 5:30pm (closed Sunday & Bank Holiday).

TC TO LORD CLARENDON; 27 October 1848; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18481027-TC-LC-01; CL 23: 143-146
Chelsea, 27 Octr, 1848—
Dear Lord Clarendon,
You were so very good to me on a former occasion,1 perhaps I may be allowed to intrude again with a word of testimony on behalf of another unfortunate fellow creature now smarting for his "Repeal" enterprises: C. G. Duffy I mean; the only other of that unfortunate company of whom I ever had any knowledge—, or have the small claim to speak here.
How Duffy may stand in your Lordship's judgement I do not know; but it is very important for himself, and not without importance for all of us just now, that he should stand in his real likeness there;—the rather if there be any truth in those rumours one hears, that he stands very ill with some of your subordinates in Ireland, and that it is not unlikely a peculiar and exceptional severity may be exercised against him, unless your Lordship interpose.2 To me Duffy has been known personally, in some degree, these several years; I have read many of his Newspaper Articles, and had various opportunities to observe him, converse with him, and deliberately form some judgement of him and his affairs,—which, as it essentially differs from the rumoured one just hinted at, I am surely bound to convey to the proper ear for it, if I can. And indeed, apart from my private regard and pity for this poor man, may I not say it would be a little painful to me, on other grounds, if a mistake were committed in his instance,—if not Duffy were doomed but a fallacious Appearance of Duffy,—and an otherwise triumphantly successful management (grateful to all good citizens) of a most complex and ugly coil of affairs were, even in small items, deformed by any look of injustice or partiality. If the rumour just alluded to have no foundation, then pray excuse this trouble,—and read no farther, except perhaps for curiosity's sake.
Duffy came to me some four or five years ago, and talked and answered, a whole evening here;3 leaving with all of us a lively impression both of his own genial frank affectionate character, and of the tragic bewilderment into which the whole course of his practical convictions and endeavours had been, as it were, enchanted by that Arch-Humbug, and Servant of the Father of Lies (for such I must consider, and on occasion call him) "Liberator O'Connel,"—to whom, from the earliest awakening of intelligence, he had listened as to an inspired Prophet, and whose pretended will he was now bent with his whole strength to do, and thereby work salvation for Ireland. No sadder phenomenon connected with that sad country had ever presented itself to me. Here was poor Duffy, by appearance an Irish Peasant's son,4 yet a natural gentleman, and almost man of genius; sense and faculty and generosity and fine gifts, abundantly manifest in him: with his broad rude Irish face, with his deep-toned Irish voice, full of natural melody and brogue, he came before me as the Spokesman of long dumb generations of his poor Ancestors and Countrymen; long had they lain dumb, trodden down below speech by every conceivable oppression; and here at last was a Voice given them;—and this (thanks to Liberator O'Connel) was the use it was about to make of itself! Never had I seen more clearly what the nature of all Lying, public or private, is; how an incalculable curse follows it,—how all men should fly from it as for their life!—Poor Duffy's history as we now see it, is epitomized to me in that first glimpse I got of him.
But deducting that baleful foreign element, which has now come to such a tragic issue for the poor man, I am convinced your Lordship, on personal inspection, would find nothing else to blame in him beyond other men,—and certainly very much to praise and pity! He is a man of gentle soft nature; I think of a character sensitive and vehement, rather than deep or strong: Mitchel had far more of the fighter and knight-errant; and, in spite of their appearances, I should guess that the "Physical-Force" movement did not originate with Duffy; and that his incitations to continue it at last were grounded, if I may so speak, rather on his superior honesty,—on his conviction that "Repeal," to which he had sworn fealty, had no chance at all but this desperate one, which his inexperience led him to forget, what was becoming plain to his more cunning and less sincere associates, that his chance was indeed desperate and worse than none.5 In the Nation Newspaper, which I looked into for several years,—always till within a few months of its suppression, when it had grown too painful and provoking to look into,—I noticed that Duffy worked for most part on Literary Matters, leaving the "Political" to others; and here I could not but recognise his worth as a critic, how on occasions he showed a correct and zealous appreciation of intellectual excellence, but of moral still more; and indeed was constantly endeavouring to teach "Repealers" and others some doctrine more wholesome than welcome to them; and would ever and anon remind them (no doubt with risk of his party connexions) that "repeal from England" would do nothing, unless repeal from their own vices, their own sloths, unveracities, blusterings and incoherencies (what I call "Repeal from the Devil"), should accompany it. This I noticed in Duffy all along, and in him almost alone of the fraternity: and in a word I have to testify that his bearing, in that dark disastrous insane element of O'Connel Repeal, had, whenever I caught sight of him, a certain manfulness, mild dignity, and effective sincerity, which pleaded for him with me.
On the whole I always construed him as intrinsically a Man of Letters, incidentally driven to become a Man of Action, and retaining always an invincible proclivity towards his old course,—and capable withal to do some service there. Repeal being now lost, I consider that the one aim that can remain to him in life must be this original one; which surely it were well should not be shut against him, but if possible, since he is to live, be set wide open to him! I believe there might yet good come of Duffy. In some situation analagous to that of Mitchel (for which, in the name of Magnanimity and wise Clemency, let the Lord Lieutenant accept my thanks and those of all men!) he might grow to something useful yet, and do good to himself and perhaps to his poor Country too— So be it, if the Powers permit!
This, dear Lord Clarendon is what I had to say of my own knowledge or clear conviction, about Duffy; and to this I will not add anything which might be of different origin. Of the late attempt at escape from prison, which I have heard of, I can say nothing, except that I hear Duffy's friends lament it, and alledge in excuse for him that it arose from his terror and quasi-frenzy at the thought (as "rumour" had menaced him) of being sent to consort, not with his old comrades in their exile, but with burglars and pickpockets, and the felons of Nature,—to which class he assuredly does not belong. Whatever his faults and false frenzies, recent or ancient, he will find, I persuade myself, a just and humane judge now, who needs no counsel when the facts have become clear.
Towards which issue, may this small contribution of mine, if it be needed, find acceptance, and at any rate excuse. And pray do not take the trouble, among your many great affairs, to write an answer: the testimony will weigh with you, I believe, about what it is worth; and the "answer," to it and to much else, will be seen by and by.6
With many thanks, and respects, and congratulations,
I have the honour to be
Your Lordship's most obedt
T. Carlyle

Green celebrity news! Actor Ashton Kutcher and actress Mila Kunis are not just boyfriend and girlfriend any longer. Celeb news sources say the A-List couple is engaged and quite possibly expecting their first baby. In a news report by Ahlan Live published Mar. 24, 2014, the celeb gossip source cited reports by E! Online saying that not only had she been spotted wearing an engagement ring, but the beautiful young brunette was seen taking a yoga class exclusively for pregnant women.
Kutcher (a humanitarian who supports charities like UNICEF, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, and Habitat For Humanity) and Kunis (who also supports St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and an organization called Chrysalis) are two of the hottest star celebs on the Hollywood scene. The pair co-stared for years as boyfriend and girlfriend on the television sitcom "That 70s Show", a celebrity stoner cult classic.
Kunis (who has made a name for herself by giving stellar performances in films like "Black Swan" with Natalie Portman) is also the voice of Meg on "Family Guy." She is the former girlfriend of child star Macaulay Culkin of "Home Alone" fame.
The stars started dating in real life shortly after Kutcher and his ex-wife Demi Moore separated. Since Kutcher and Moore divorced, the two have kept their romance very low key and out of the public eye but the pair seems to be inseparable most of the time.
Kutcher, the greener of the two celebrities, is thought to be the owner of a Fisker Karma, an eco-friendly exotic car that has been a popular status symbol to own in Hollywood social circles. However, it is not known if he kept the car in his divorce from Demi Moore or if she retained it as part of the terms of their divorce settlement.

You've heard the saying, in one variation of another, that couples who play together stay together. But what if you're a skier who doesn't have a mate? Sure, skiing is fun even when you go alone--ahem, singles line--but we all know it's better with a buddy (plus you don't have to sit by yourself at lunchtime).

Cost: $25 for pre-registered participants, $30 at day-of check-in

Best of Toronto
The Best Gay Bars in Toronto
The best gay bars in Toronto are fun places to get your dance on, meet some new friends or see some great drag talent. There are few things better than a night out at a gay bar. Whether you are LGBTQ or an LGBTQ ally, going to gay bars in Toronto is like going to Cheers, except instead of everyone knowing your name, everyone knows that there are a variety of sexualities to be celebrated and also everyone is way hotter (sorry, Cliff).
Where the Village was once the sole territory for gay bars in Toronto, over the years the geographical range has expanded with the growth of the city. Now you'll find queer-friendly establishments all over town, which, you know, is a very good thing.
Here are the best gay bars in Toronto.

The Beaver
Cafe by day, bar by night, this West Queen West mainstay is great place to drink beer in the evening and stumble back for some legendary french toast and mimosas the morning after.

Buddies in Bad Times
After the shows at Buddies in Bad Times are complete for the night, the venue transforms into an amazing party space. Be sure to stop by for their monthly drag show, where you'll find DJs spinning dance and house while queens give attitude by stomping up and down the stairs in the highest of high heels, entertaining hundreds of gay boys and a few ladies.

Crews and Tangos
Although it shut down for a spell in early 2009, this Village staple is back and popular as ever. Formerly positioned towards the fairer sex, this non-judgmental Village bar is now a co-ed good time, perfect for dancing up a storm. The shabby-chic bar also holds drag shows nightly. More »
This Queer as Folk hangout is home to Toronto star, Miss Conception. If these things alone don't warrant a visit, Woody's and Sailor holds Best Chest and Best Ass contests for entertainment at its finest. Toronto bars don't get much more fun than this. More »

El Convento Rico is Toronto's longest running Latino drag bar, so be prepared to see some gorgeous queens shake it to some Latin beats.

Half the places you listed aren't even gay bars. Don't tell me "Queer West" is gay because it's just like every other straight neighbourhood in Toronto. There is only 1 real Gay Village in Toronto and it's on Church Street, not Queen Street.
people continue to enjoy sexual activity in the old

Bleeding Chris Zombie
Life-Sized Tactical Mannequin Target
"Bleeds" When Shot!!!
During his time working in our testing facility, fellow colleagues reported strange activity by Chris. Some feared he was researching the alteration of human genotypes and possibly phenotypes. When questioned about his suspicious activity, Chris mumbled something about human mutations and a possible cure. Some thought he lost his mind, but others feared he was testing on himself or even worse when the Feds came in and put the entire testing facility on lock down… Chris went missing the next day and hasn't been seen since.
Each Patent Pending "Chris" Zombie is cloned in our San Diego, California facility and is hand painted to accurately resemble an infected human that just finished gnawing your neighbor Zed's leg, to give you that realistic look so you really feel the hate. What makes our Zombie's so special? They're filled with biodegradable matter, which makes clean up a wee-bit easier…(are you happy, mom?) …and oh yah, let's not forget, they bleed and burst into little pieces of blood soaked, Zombie matter when you shoot them!
- Perfect for a group outing, split with your friends, and Destroy the Undead!
- Life-sized Zombie target BLEEDS when you shoot it!!!
- Zombies can be shot more than 1000+ rounds of assorted calibers.
- Designed for firearms, but works with ARCHERY in conjunction with suitable backstop.
- Biodegradable Zombie matter keeps tree huggers off your back.
- Zombie can be reused to finish off another day.
- Includes wood stake to mount the Zombie.
- Printed Box with a standard shaded scoring line target
on both sides to help sight in your weapon.

Use any and all means necessary to decapitate Zombie.
When your Zombie Industries' package arrives, proceed with extreme caution and carefully drag the box to a secluded area. Be careful of contents, as the Zombie is not dead, only dormant. Recommend individuals organize weapons, supplies and Zombie hunting task force before opening box, your life might possibly depend on it. If you fail to destroy enclosed Zombie, call for backup before returning to the scene. Use our Zombie Targets in the same cautionary manner as you would a paper target and remember, always use common sense around live munitions. When you aim, point directly at the figure but be warned, pieces of simulated flesh and body parts will detach upon impact.
All Zombie Industries' products represent fictitious characters and are works of fiction. Names, characters, stories, places and incidents are products of the author's imagination and are used fictitiously. Any resemblance to actual persons (living or dead), events or locales is entirely coincidental.
At ZMB Industries we take training and preparedness extremely seriously!
We understand that there are many aspects of training that encompass various complimentary disciplines which go into emergency/disaster/conflict preparedness. That's why all our Zombie Industries' training dummies also provide a training platform for Medical First Responders. Marksmanship is a critical skill in today's encounters for both Military & Law Enforcement personnel; and our training dummies provide numerous skill acquisition benefits for forward operators. But we take training a step further by providing a universal aid that also address the aftermath. That's right, our 3D training dummies provide a realistic aid for teaching various emergency treatment procedures such as dealing with ballistic trauma, administering cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), aspiration, defibrillation, intubation and infusion. We believe that providing the most realistic training dummies produces better trained professionals. That's why at Zombie Industries we are committed to creating innovative training dummies that address emergency situations both during and after horrific events.

Love this target. Really took a turn on everyday target shooting. This is a target not only you can enjoy but a whole group for hours. the Apocalypse has started. zombie industries: http://youtu.be/zT7fosD9SsY
Chris Reed
This thing is REALLY FUN to set up and shoot. It was my first zombie, and I'll be buying more. What really sold me, was that their CUSTOMER SERVICE is PHENOMENAL! They are extremely RESPONSIVE and had my issue handled in a matter of a few days! They really showed me that they care about their customers, which in turn shows they care about their company obviously. Thanks Zombie Industries!
I got one of these for my friends bachelor party and we put a lot of lead thru it it it took the punishment. Eventually we blew the head off but it took a lot. It took 5 shots from a .458 lott 12 12 ga. slugs and some buckshot. 1000 rds of .223 200 rds .308 200 rds of 5.56 and a bunch of hand guns. I was really impressed how it stood the up. We could have probably used the body again but didn't bring a plastic bag to bring it back in.
this is a great product. we had lots of fun with it this weekend. The cost isn't that bad either if you split it up among a couple of people. Look forward to getting some more in the future. I bought mine from cheaper than dirt and didn't realize there were so many more options on your site. I think ill get the "ex" next time.
Sgt.Brad Bickett
Very badass! Got chris gray for xmas.Little did he know he didnt have a chance in hell bitting me and my friends!1200 Rounds 5.56 destroyed him. very cool.
payton stoudt
It is prefect for distance shooting. We placed it out to 800 yards and shot it with a 308 and it was like hitting a human. You cued see the impact easy thru your scope and you could see the splatter on impact. I was impressed.
These are ingenious! Makes a day at the range more fun. On another note, they are a great conversation piece in the home or office (if you're lucky to work in a creative firm). I bought one to shoot and another to put in my apartment.
Rich Gann
Fun to shoot, biodegradable was perfect as we blew him to pieces and I didn't have to clean up the back yard.
Fun new target adds to the zombie experience, but after we shot off the head, we couldn't reuse it... We'll be splitting another one on our next trip to the desert anyway.
Doug Baucom
I liked the bleeding and would buy again sometime soon.
Phil Wrey
This thing is awesome, you should also make rabid dogs or zombie deer too
Ryan Jones
This thing looks great, all of the torn flesh makes me really feel the hate for the f*cker. The best part of the bleeding is you get to see the fruits of your work, aka you see the blood! Please make a zombie with a turban!

With a nation-leading 50 wins, Tulane was named the No. 5 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
May 21, 2001
NEW ORLEANS -- No. 5 (Baseball America) ranked Tulane was named one of eight national seeds and the No. 1 seed in the New Orleans NCAA Baseball Regional Monday as the NCAA announced the complete 64-team field and bracket for the 2001 NCAA Baseball Championships.
The Green Wave, 50-10, will face fourth-seeded Southern at 7:30 p.m. Friday in its first action at the regional. No. 2 seed Ole Miss and No. 3 Oklahoma State will open the tournament at 3:30 p.m. Saturday's games are scheduled for 11:30 a.m., 3:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. while the championship game will be held at 1 p.m. Sunday.
"I'm pleased for our ballclub," said Head Coach Rick Jones, who guided his team to the FedEx Conference USA Tournament Championship Sunday. "We've had an excellent season going into the tournament and we want to keep that momentum going. It's exciting to be able to host a regional at Turchin Stadium and stay home for NCAA play. I think the NCAA saw our 50 wins, the fact that we came back to win the conference tournament and our regular season title, and this seed acknowledges the year we've had so far."
Tulane's 50 wins lead the nation and is a new school record. The Green Wave claimed the Conference USA tournament and regular season championships and posted an 11-0 record against in-state competition.
Southern won the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) title on its way to a 43-10 overall mark for coach Roger Cator. The Jaguars claimed a victory over intra-city neighbor LSU during the regular season.
No. 2 seed Mississippi earned an at-large bid out of the Southeastern Conference, one of eight SEC teams to make the field. The Rebels and first-year coach Mike Bianco posted a 38-21-1 record and tied their school record for most SEC wins in a season with 17.
Oklahoma State finished fifth in the Big 12 during the regular season and enter the regional with an overall record of 40-20. Tom Holliday's Cowboys are one of five Big 12 teams in the NCAA Regionals.
Tickets for the New Orleans NCAA Regional are on sale at the Tulane Athletics Ticket Office in the James W. Wilson Center or by calling 504-861-WAVE. Reserved grandstand tournament books are sold out, but reserved bleacher tickets for the entire tournament are on sale for $60 each. Single game tickets (subject to availabilty) are $15 for grandstand and $12 for bleachers. The Tulane Athletics Ticket Office has extended its hours for this week to 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. daily.

A 42-year-old Wauwatosa woman has been charged with stealing more than $12,500 and dozens of recreational passes from the Waukesha office of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
Crystal L. Steiner was charged Feb. 27 in Waukesha County Circuit Court with felony business theft. If convicted, she could face up to 10 years in prison and $25,000 in fines.
According to the criminal complaint:
A detective with the Wisconsin State Capitol Police met with officials from the DNR on Sept. 7, 2012, to discuss an internal investigation into missing money.
Susan Rice, a section chief for the department, told the detective that Steiner was suspected of stealing money as well as trail passes, park stickers and park passes.
Steiner had been hired in January to work as a senior customer service representative at the DNR's satellite center, 141 W. Bastow St., Waukesha. She handled sales and was responsible for making daily bank deposits and maintaining financial records for the office.
She had been questioned about the missing money when it was discovered in August, 2012. She told supervisors she would look into it, but then quit without notice.
Also according to the complaint:
An audit performed by the department discovered that the office's financial records were in "total disarray." Credit card receipts were missing, and bank deposits were made irregularly. An inventory audit showed that 77 trail passes, 30 senior passes and 33 resident park passes were missing, altogether valued at $2,665.
A detective spoke with Steiner on May 1, 2013. She told police that she would sign bank slips and allow other employees to make deposits, though other employees refuted this.
She refused to answer questions about missing cash and requested an attorney.

Sprint Football Shutout at Army
The Princeton sprint football team suffered a 59-0 defeat by Army Saturday afternoon in West Point, N.Y. Behind an early offensive attack and solid defensive effort, the Black Knights handed the Tigers (0-6, 0-5) their first shutout loss of the year.
Army took a 24-0 lead in the first quarter and went into halftime up 45-0.
Princeton's second half defense managed to hold off the Black Knight offensive drives much more effectively. Following a scoreless third quarter, Army concluded the game with a pair of touchdowns.
As the offense struggled to find a way to drive the ball into the Army half of the field, the defense was led by Bob Dougherty and Richard Hildreth's 11 tackles apiece.
Princeton will conclude the 2012 season at Penn on Friday, Nov. 2 at 7 p.m.

New car shoppers can look forward to a more pleasant buying experience if the new car dealer community implements the "60 minute" sale. A recent article in the trade publication Automotive News reports that a growing number of new car dealers are changing the old and time-consuming practices of how they treat the new car buyer.
My last new car purchase was a good example of what needs to be corrected. The wife and I waited in the salesman's cubicle while he took purchase offers to his sales manager. Each trip took about fifteen minutes because his manager was always on the phone. We waited over an hour for the used car manager to appraise our trade-in. We waited for 30 minutes to see the finance & insurance (F&I) guy. This was a wasted step since we told our sales rep that we already had our bank financing and insurance coverage in place. The F&I guy wouldn't let us go until we listened to why we needed to have the dealership's preferred financing and insurance.
When we finally took delivery of the vehicle (not the color we ordered and missing some options that we paid for) we were asked about our buying experience. "I would rather have root canal work done since it is cheaper, quicker and less painful." The dealer's Customer Satisfaction representative was not amused.
New car dealers are beginning to realize that customers want a fast, transparent buying experience. Today's transactions average more than two hours with many running more than three hours. A transaction time is defined as the time between a customer settling on a specific vehicle (after test drive) and the time he or she leaves the F&I office. The goal is to reduce customer wait times that can hurt profits and have a negative impact on customer satisfaction surveys.
Shoppers, especially those younger than 30, have been conditioned by visits to Apple Stores and other top retailers to expect a smooth, professional buying experience that respects their time and research preparation. Almost invariably, the customer has a mobile phone or tablet handy to comparison-shop a competitor. Fed-up shoppers leave dealerships before closing a deal more often than managers would care to admit. Today, a salesperson takes a risk when leaving a shopper unattended while the salesperson runs repeatedly to the manager during a price negotiation, or while the customer waits outside the F&I office.
Many people dread the negotiating process. A few dealers avoid this by having a "one price" policy. Sales consultants are compensated based on the number of cars they sell rather than the gross profit of the sales. That rewards salespeople for steering customers to the vehicle that best fits their needs, rather than pushing the most expensive vehicles. It also allows the sales transaction to be completed in less than 60 minutes.
Shopping for and purchasing a new car or truck should be a pleasant experience. Hopefully, dealers will implement the processes necessary to make it happen. The sooner, the better.

Elektra, 1986
Metallica's third album has a lyrical theme: manipulation. "Drugs controlling you," singer-guitarist James Hetfield said. It also has a sonic theme: really loud guitars, played at warhead speed. When the band slows down on "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)," it just emphasizes the unrelenting nature of the rest of the songs.

I honestly couldn't give a rat's about any other team.
The teams I dislike the most are:
Boston, Charlotte, Philly, Lakers and of course Indiana + Miami - just because of the 90s.
Knicks rule, every other team can chomp on a penis.
Hi folks,
I was just wondering who you watch in the NBA other than the Knicks? Do you have a West team?
I love wtaching the Portland Trailblazers, I think that they have a great team full of exciting players and I like the way that they are building a team around their own young players.
As a fan of European basketball I also like watching to see how Nicolas Batum and Rudy Fernandez are doing.
I honestly couldn't give a rat's about any other team.
The teams I dislike the most are:
Boston, Charlotte, Philly, Lakers and of course Indiana + Miami - just because of the 90s.
Knicks rule, every other team can chomp on a penis.
In Basketball - I watch my Knicks all the time. Also, Syracuse (in college ball). I use to watch the Nets when they played good basketball but now they suck!!!
The other teams in NBA can go to hell!!!
I don't root for anyone but the Knicks. There are teams I am envious of however, aka Atlanta, Ok City, Portland, etc etc. Like when I'm watching the playoffs and the Knicks aren't in it I don't root for anyone. I just root against teams like the Cavs, Celdicks. The only teams in the Eastern Conference playoff hunt that I dont hate would be Atlanta, and Miami.
I do not watch teams other than my teams.
However I can watch college football...in order to scout players for the Jets.
I watch the Knicks, Nets, and sometimes the Grizzlies. I also watch the Liberty, during the summer time.
Knicks, Lakers, and Clippers (i have fox sports net west)
I watch my 'Cuse players when I can. 'Melo, Hak, Flynn, I really enjoy to watch Nuggets at home. An awesome team at home, especially in the second half when roadteams hit the high altitude wall.
I have never watched anything other than The Knicks!
When the NBA season is done, I just watch all the good games from the Season I have saved to my DVR
I tune into the NBA Draft to watch The Knicks make their selection then its back to the games on DVR
Then I watch The Knicks in Summer League games
Then I go back to The DVR Games
Then I watch Pre-Season
Then I watch the regular season
Then The Cycle continues!
For History Lessons, I watch the games that I taped -yes VHS- from the 94 team!
For movie night with the kids we watch the Movie "Eddie"
For Movie night with the Wife we watch "Black and White", but we turn the movie off after Allan Houston gets shot and is no longer in the movie.
Then I go back to the Games on DVR
The Zombie Sonics are the most fun team to watch in the NBA
LAKERS...How could you not love watching that team? not a FAN but I like Kobe, Fisher, Odom, Gasol, Artest, Bynum, Brown. The Best!
I also like watching the Nuggets, Suns play...I pretty much hate all other teams in the East though.
Teams that I hate
Bobcats (**** Michold whoredan)
Utah Jazz
Pacers (more b/c of larry bird then the rivalry from 90's)
Toronto Craptors
Cleveland Faggaliers
Milwaukee Bucks (hated them since i was like 6 years old, not sure why)
I hate the Hawks, Magic, Nets, Heat and Bulls so so much
i have the league pass and i enjoy rooting any team that plays the heat, pacers, bucks, bulls 6ers and toronto plus its just fun to watch players like kobe, cmello and steve nash

Workplace injuries involving the eyes, 2008
March 02, 2011
Among the broad occupational groups, five categories—production; installation, maintenance, and repair; construction and extraction; service; and transportation and material moving occupations—accounted for 87 percent of eye injuries involving days away from work in 2008.
Workers in these occupational groups tend to experience injuries from flying objects, chemicals, harmful radiation, or a combination of these or other hazards.
Injuries to the eyes accounted for 37 percent of all head injuries involving days away from work in 2008 and 62 percent of all face injuries involving days away from work.
Men experienced far more eye injuries than women, and men age 25 to 44 suffered more eye injuries than men in other age groups.
These data are from the Injuries, Illnesses, and Fatalities program. To learn more, see "Workplace injuries involving the eyes, 2008," in the February 2011 issue of Compensation and Working Conditions Online.

FIFA President Sepp Blatter has announced that the MLS will be switching to the FIFA calendar. Blatter made the announcement Monday in Toronto before the U-20 Women's World Cup to be held in Canada.
As reported on Tuesday afternoon, Blatter told the soccer press that he was not sure when Major League Soccer was going to switch its season calendar to coincide with FIFA's calendar. Blatter did assert that Major League Soccer was going to do it eventually.
When Major League Soccer was started in 1996, the league was scheduled to be played during the summer. As of now, the soccer season in the US starts in March and postseason ends in December. This was done in order to avoid competition from the NFL, College Football, the NHL, and the NBA, who run approximately from Sept to June. Each league varies, but none of these big money makers run during the summer.
It is believe that soccer has grown because the sport has avoided running at the same time as the big leagues mention above. However, the MLS has trouble when international tournaments are being played, which usually run in the summer.
This past summer, Major League Soccer was being played while the World Cup in Brazil was being. Some players from the league had to leave in order play for their national team. Next summer, the Copa America is going to be played and South Americans playing in the US could be called to play for their national team.
When major players are gone, Major League Soccer teams start hurting, including tickets sales as fans will not attend if their favorite player is not around, and the season can be affected greatly. Unlike most European, South American, and most leagues around the world, their seasons are done during the summer, so their international stars from the respective leagues are fulfilling their national duties without affecting their clubs.
Now that soccer has grown in the US, it has been stated that the US should switch to the FIFA Calendar, which runs from the end of August to the middle of May. Some leagues vary, but that is the norm for a soccer season around the world.
On the other hand, reports have it that Major League Soccer Communications have responded through Twitter stating that Blatter is incorrect. Tweets stating by the MLS Communications have been going viral by stating that Major League Soccer will remain with the same calendar.
So far, the league has done well, so why change it. Yes, it does affect certain club teams in when international tournaments are being played in the summer, but the league could also take a major hit if it switches its calendar. It's a big decision to make. Hopefully, what ever happens, the MLS will still thrive.

Civil service changes will soon take effect in Wisconsin
Submitted: 06/24/2016
- Wisconsin state employees will face a new world when they show up for work July 1.
An overhaul of the state's 111-year-old civil service system takes effect take that day. It will leave 30,000 state workers and an untold number of job applicants to face new hiring and firing protocols.
Mandatory pre-hiring examinations will be a thing of the past. So will bumping rights, which protect senior employees from layoffs.
Probation periods will be longer, just cause for disciplinary actions will be clearly defined and layoff decisions will be based on performance rather than seniority.
Supporters insist the changes enable state agencies to fill retirees' positions quickly and impose proper discipline.
Democrats and other critics say Republicans are trading a clean, fair employment system for political patronage and cronyism.

Sun's out, guns out! Summer is upon us, the mercury is spiking. It is ironic that India once again with upcoming BJP government seeking for the approval of a country's bid for the NSG membership. A body established 40 years ago to ensure that civilian trade in nuclear materials is not diverted for military purposes, as was done by India itself. The Group needs to adhere to its principles in letter and spirit or deal impartially with Pakistan, which is also interested in participating in NSG. There has to be justice and fair play instead of creating an exception to the rules!
Like the 2008 decision of granting India a special trade waiver, the idea of admitting the country as a member of NSG violates non-proliferation norms. The issue of prospective Indian membership begs answers to several questions about India's nuclear security and other matters.
NSG exemption for India represents a danger to the nuclear nonproliferation regime, as there is no chance that India will sign the NPT as a non-nuclear weapon state for gaining NSG membership. India's refusal to sign the CTBT is another obstacle to the entry into force of a treaty that is repeatedly declared by the international community to be one of the most urgent measures in the struggle to prevent vertical and horizontal nuclear proliferation.
The NSG decision on India also opens the door to violations of Article I of the NPT. Article I requires that states "not it any way…assist, encourage, or induce any non-nuclear-weapon State to manufacture or otherwise acquire nuclear weapons." India, under the terms of the NPT, is required to meet the criteria of a non-nuclear weapon state. Thus if under the US-India deal Canada were to provide India with uranium, which would facilitate accelerated warhead production using domestic uranium, Canada would arguably be in violation of the NPT.
In addition, the NSG states clearly ignored Resolution 1172 of the UN Security Council that was passed in 1998 following nuclear tests by India. It called on India "immediately to stop its nuclear weapon development, to refrain from the deployment of nuclear weapons, to cease development of ballistic missiles capable of delivering nuclear weapons and any further production of fissile material for nuclear weapons…." The resolution also called on India to join both the NPT and the CTBT.
Pierre Goldschmidt, a U.S.-based nonproliferation expert, opposed the waiver and the U.S.-India nuclear deal. Goldschmidt believes that the "India exemption" to NSG members should agree on criteria that would require India to conform to the contemporary understanding of the NPT bargain. The damage done by this exemption to become irreparable if NSG participation is also managed.
With all the diplomatic muscles show going around the debate about principle is over with having India outside or inside NSG. Ernie Regehr, a Canadian peace researcher and expert in security and disarmament also stated that nonproliferation efforts are not to be guided by a set of rules that applies equally to all rather to be based on judgments about good and bad guys. States that are regarded, or are being courted, as friends to key powers are allowed to acquire nuclear weapons. For those outside the select circle, it is an all-options-are-on-the-table commitment to prevent proliferation. The rule on which the NSG has heretofore been built – no trade or cooperation with any state that does not place all of its nuclear programs and facilities under safeguards – is now to be applied selectively. India's NSG participation without similar concession to Pakistan would seriously threaten the credibility of the NSG and the non-proliferation regime.

Ever since the attack on America on 9/11 patriotism and celebration of America's glory has been embodied in the unfurled American flag. Now with new recently passed legislation the nation's flag will no longer have the tagline "Made in China" according to Fox News.
While it seems fairly obvious to any plain thinking American citizen that the flag that is pledged to is actually created 100 percent in America. But that was not the case and in fact it had been difficult for any patriotic-minded congressional representative to even get it passed due to trade agreements, reported Fox News.
So in effect, American presidents have been borrowing hundreds of billions of dollars from the Chinese and the nation's citizens were pledging allegiance to flags made by communist China. Hard to believe but this is all too true, when one considers that an estimated $3.3 million worth of American flags are imported from Beijing annually.
For American's war veterans this had to feel like a hit to the groin and one U.S. congressman and a Vietnam War vet decided this foreign-made American flag buying had to stop. So Rep. Mike Thompson, D-Calif., wrote the legislation, which bans the Defense Department from American flag purchases as well as clothing and food from foreign countries, according to Fox News.
Congressman Thompson was crystal clear about the intentions of his bill that was signed into law. He stressed to CBS San Francisco "I thought it was appalling our Department of Defense would have flags made in other countries," reported Fox News.
The next step is to ban the purchases of foreign-made American flags that appear on all U.S. federal agencies, even though a recent attempt in congress fell short. American-made flags appearing on American federal buildings should be the rule and not the exception.
