Delivery of two custom-built 25-foot boats, ordered for Marietta's police and fire departments in April, has been delayed by the manufacturer.
"Both boats are currently in production, but there was a delay on the manufacturer's part due to other orders that had to be filled for the military. They apparently just got behind," said Marietta police detective Troy Hawkins.
The vessels, built by North River Boats, Inc. of Roseburg, Oregon, are being purchased with port security grant funding awarded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency to the Huntington Port-Tristate.
The police department boat will cost $193,853 and the fire vessel will cost $397,507.
Hawkins and Marietta Fire Chief C.W. Durham first approached city council about obtaining the boats in March.
Council passed legislation authorizing the spending of $591,360 from the capital improvement fund to provide up-front payment for the boats.

Marietta's new fire and police boats
In April city council approved $591,360 for two custom-built 25-foot motor boats to be used by the Marietta police and fire departments.
The police boat will cost $193,853, and the fire boat $397,507.
Funding for the vessels is being provided through a reimbursable federal port security grant to the Huntington Port-Tristate, which is the largest inland port in the U.S.

"This was approved as advance payment to be reimbursed by the port security grant funds," said Councilman Tom Vukovic, D-4th Ward, who chairs council's finance committee.
City Auditor Sherri Hess said the city has been making payments on invoices submitted from North River Boats.
"But we hold each check until we receive a reimbursement from the port security grant," she said.
The boats were originally supposed to be delivered at the beginning of September.
"I would imagine they'll both be delivered before the end of the year," Hawkins said. "They started working on the fire boat first, probably because it required some specialized equipment."
Durham said North River Boats is flying a couple of representatives from the fire department to the Roseburg, Ore., facility this week.
"They want us to take a look at the boat to be sure everything is being done according to our specifications," Durham said. "They don't want to ship the boat all the way here and then find out there was a problem."
He said the department should have a better idea Monday about when the boats will be delivered.
Durham said when the fire boat comes in it will likely be put in the river for some initial training, then housed in a facility near the water during the winter, in case the boat is needed.
The fire boat will have a heated cab and large-diameter fire hose so that the vessel can be used as a sort of portable fire hydrant during emergency situations, Durham said.
He said some of the grant funding for the fire boat was used to purchase special diving masks for the department's dive team that allow communication between divers and with the command center on shore.
Durham said the masks were first used during the search for a drowning victim in the Muskingum River near Devols Dam in June.
When he and Durham initially approached council about the federal grant for the boats, Hawkins said one condition is that Marietta would become part of the Huntington Port-Tristate security system.
"That means the Port can call on us, if needed, for assistance in the event of a major incident, like a bridge collapse or some natural disaster anywhere within the port system," he said.

Family approves killer's sentence
Life without parole called best punishment
Published: Wednesday, February 13, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at 11:52 p.m.
Family members of a Fayette woman who was killed in 2010 agreed that life in prison with no possibility of parole would be the best punishment for her killer.
Kennety Ray "Rudy" Fluker admitted that he raped, robbed and killed Patricia Adair, 55, on Aug. 14, 2010. He avoided a trial and potential death sentence in exchange for the guilty plea entered in court Monday. A jury heard a shortened version of evidence in court Tuesday morning in a "mini-trial" that is required in all capital murder cases. Jurors found Fluker guilty on a charge of capital murder during the course of a robbery and capital murder during the course of a rape.
Chris McCool, district attorney for the 24th Judicial Circuit that includes Fayette County, said he spoke with Adair's daughters and siblings before offering the deal.
"They unanimously agreed, and concurred, that this would be the least painful resolution of the case for them," McCool said. "A trial is difficult and would have taken no less than two weeks. Even if he'd been given the death penalty, there would have been a series of appeals over the next 15 to 20 years that they would continue to deal with."
Attorneys were prepared for a capital murder trial scheduled to begin Monday. The plea offer was discussed last week and over the weekend, McCool said.
"It's an agonizing decision, but we felt that this was the best thing to do in this case," he said.
Judge James Moore sentenced Fluker to life with no parole on Tuesday.

Hi. New to this software but looks promising - thanks!
A couple of questions:
1. is there a way to set up a playlist for all my itunes library so that when I set to shuffle it plays everything rather than just what 's in a particular (say artist or album) folder? Same question with viewing iphoto folder -- how can I set it up to view all photos rather than whatever is in a specific subfolder?
2. My understanding is that video streaming (including Youtube, etc) just doesn't work in OS X yet. Is that correct?

SAN FRANCISCO -- There was no celebration on the mound, not an overflowing Powerade bucket in sight. Tim Lincecum wasn't headed for a podium after an electrifying 5-0 win over the St. Louis Cardinals and his highlight reel won't be the top story on "SportsCenter."
But other than that, Lincecum's start Tuesday was very much like the previous one.
The right-hander once again carried a fantastic rhythm through the night, throwing eight shutout innings in his first appearance since no-hitting the San Diego Padres and giving up just four hits. Just like in the no-hitter, he threw 113 pitches, 73 of which were strikes. Lincecum has thrown 17 consecutive scoreless innings and has back-to-back outings of at least eight scoreless innings for the first time in his career and helped the Giants move back into first place, by a half-game over the Dodgers, in the National League West.
"I don't think there was a big difference between the two games," manager Bruce Bochy said. "He kept the ball down, threw quality strikes all night -- gave us a great effort. If you look at them, it's hard to find a big difference."
This one won't result in a package being sent to Cooperstown, but for Lincecum, it might have in a strange way been more impressive than the no-hitter. Whether in the 2102 postseason or his no-hitter last July, Lincecum still shows flashes of the ability that made him a two-time Cy Young Award winner. But he has struggled mightily to find any semblance of consistency.
In the start following his 2013 no-hitter, Lincecum gave up eight runs in 32/3 innings. On Tuesday, the Cardinals looked just as hapless as the Padres.
"I was just hoping to put up something like that," Lincecum said. "Things weren't crazy nasty or anything like that, or 93-94 mph. But I was trying to hit my spots. It felt very similar (to the no-hitter). I try to go out there and duplicate (that feeling) when things are going good."
Lincecum's brightest moment came in the fourth, when two broken-bat singles and a hit-by-pitch loaded the bases with no outs. But he struck out Allen Craig and Jon Jay with sliders and got Daniel Descalso to ground out, keeping the game scoreless.
"No question, that's the turning point of the game," Bochy said. "It kept us from getting down and having an uphill climb. He really bowed his neck."
A slumping lineup returned the favor. The Giants scored only six runs during a four-game sweep at the hands of the Cincinnati Reds, but got halfway to that total in the bottom of the fourth against rookie left-hander Marco Gonzales.
Hunter Pence kicked things off with a single and raced home on Buster Posey's double just inside the left-field line. Pablo Sandoval followed with a towering homer to left field, the 10th of his season and 100th of his career. All of a sudden, the Giants of July felt like the first-place Giants of April and May. Pence said Lincecum's ability to get out of the top of the fourth turned the tide.
"That's a tough spot," he said. "For him to get out of it, it gets you fired up."
The Giants followed Lincecum's no-hitter with four straight demoralizing losses. They're hoping the doppelganger sets them straight.
"It doesn't matter how long you've been in this game, it's always good to stop those tough streaks," Bochy said. "It does so much for their confidence."

1. CookOrDie: Domestic goddesshood: 01:08
So: my first real party.
I splurged on flowers, buying pink-and-white carnations and a small African violet. The guys probably didn't notice it, but it made me feel wonderful. =)
For appetizers, I arranged prosciutto ham on a large plate and drizzled olive oil over it. I then surrounded it with insalata tricolore (halved cherry tomatoes interleaved with soft mozzarella and sprinkled with fresh basil). I also served bacon and cheese potato soup.
For the main course, I baked an extra-cheesy lasagna. Minor whoops: I boiled the entire lasagna package in my excitement, not realizing that I was supposed to boil only twelve noodles. Duh. That's okay, I can have mini-lasagna rolls tomorrow, although I've run out of ground beef so that might take a little magic.
For dessert, I served the apple pie that Calum taught me how to bake. Calum was surprised at how flaky it turned out. Apparently, flakiness is a good thing.
I also wrote them thank-you notes on monogrammed Crane cards. =)
Everything was very well-received, and James' parting compliment was: "Sacha, you're a domestic goddess." =) I had a lot of fun preparing everything for them, and I greatly enjoyed the conversation afterwards. I'm thrilled to see that they get along, although some are still a little nervous in company.
James remembered the deal I made two dinner parties ago, and insisted on doing the dishes this time. Aww! =)
How to make things better: ditch store-bought garlic bread and make my own. Also, improve timing of bread so that bread and pasta are out of the oven at the same time.
On Technorati: cooking, cookordie, friends

Diving for novel antibiotics
15.02.2013 - The EU-project PharmaSea will bring researchers to some of the deepest, coldest and hottest places on the planet in the hunt for novel antibiotics.
Scientists from the UK, Belgium, Norway, Spain, Ireland, Germany, Italy, Switzerland and Denmark will work together to collect and screen samples of mud and sediment from huge, previously untapped, oceanic trenches. The large-scale, four-year project is backed by more than €9.5 million of EU funding and brings together 24 partners from 14 countries from industry, academia and non-profit organisations.
The PharmaSea project focuses on biodiscovery research and the development and commercialisation of new bioactive compounds from marine organisms, including deep-sea sponges and bacteria, to evaluate their potential as novel drug leads or ingredients for nutrition or cosmetic applications. The international team of scientists is led by Professor Marcel Jaspars of the University of Aberdeen in Scotland, and coordinated by Dr. Camila Esguerra of the University of Leuven in Belgium.
Only a handful of samples have ever been taken from deep trenches and investigated, so the project is breaking new ground. "PharmaSea will not only be exploring new territory at the bottom of the oceans, but also new areas in 'chemical space'. With our broad platform of cutting-edge bioassays to detect drug-like activity, we'll be testing many unique chemical compounds from these marine samples that have literally never seen the light of day. We're quite hopeful that we'll find a number of exciting new drug leads", says Dr. Camila Esguerra, Industrial Research Fellow and Lecturer with the Laboratory for Molecular Biodiscovery at the University of Leuven.
The international team will employ strategies commonly used in the salvage industry to carry out the sampling. Using fishing vessels, researchers will drop a sampler on a reel of cables to the trench bed to collect sediment. Scientists will then attempt to grow unique bacteria and fungi from the sediment that can be extracted to isolate novel drug-like molecules for pharmacological testing. Partners from China, Chile, Costa Rica, New Zealand and South Africa will support the PharmaSea project. The first field tests will be carried out next autumn in the Atacama Trench in the Eastern Pacific Ocean, about 100 miles off the coast of Chile and Peru. The team will also search the Arctic waters off Norway and the Antarctic via Italian and South African partners. Deep trenches will also be accessed off New Zealand and China.
Marine organisms that live more than 6,000 meters below the sea level are considered to be an interesting source of novel bioactive compounds as they survive under extreme conditions. "Trenches are separated from each other and represent islands of diversity. They are not connected to each other and life has evolved differently in each one", explains Marcel Jaspars.

With juice bars and "elixir cafés" springing up in cities throughout North America, it's tempting to think that juicing is a new trend. But it's really just the latest manifestation of a centuries-old health practice. And in this new age of genetically modified, over- refined, chemical-laden nonfood, this "rediscovery" of juicing has never been more welcome.
Research consistently shows that people who consume the greatest quantity of fruits and vegetables are about half as likely to develop cancer as those who eat little or no fresh fruits and vegetables. So it's not surprising that the United States Cancer Institute recommends eating five servings of fresh vegetables and three servings of fresh fruits each day. In fact, the phytochemicals in fruits and vegetables hold the keys to preventing many other illnesses, such as heart disease, as well as debilitating conditions such as asthma, arthritis, and allergies.
Still, even the most disciplined person can find it difficult to eat all those fruits and vegetables every day. So why not drink them? Raw fresh juices, blended drinks, and homemade frozen treats are an easy and tasty way to ensure that adults and children get their "daily eight."

About the Book
"Written in words so intimate, calm, kind, and immediate, this extraordinary book feels like a message from our very own heart….Thich Nhat Hanh is one of the most important voices of our time, and we have never needed to listen to him more than now."
—Sogyal Rinpoche
Fear is destructive, a pervasive problem we all face. Vietnamese Buddhist Zen Master, poet, scholar, peace activist, and one of the foremost spiritual leaders in the world—a gifted teacher who was once nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Martin Luther King Jr.—Thich Nhat Hanh has written a powerful and practical strategic guide to overcoming our debilitating uncertainties and personal terrors. The New York Times said Hanh, "ranks second only to the Dalai Lama" as the Buddhist leader with the most influence in the West. In Fear: Essential Wisdom for Getting through the Storm, Hanh explores the origins of our fears, illuminating a path to finding peace and freedom from anxiety and offering powerful tools to help us eradicate it from our lives
Without fear, we are able to see more clearly our connections to others. Without fear, we have more room for understanding and compassion. Without fear, we are truly free.
—from Fear
Most of us live in a constant state of fear—of our past, of illness and aging and death, and of losing the things we treasure most. But it doesn't have to be this way, promises Zen master and Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh.
Drawing on a lifetime of mindfulness in action, Thich Nhat Hanh shows us how to use the practice of living in the present to acknowledge and embrace our fears, recognize their origins, and render them powerless. The world-renowned Zen teacher guides us through practical exercises for transforming fear into clarity. The worries of the past and the anxiety of the future disappear as we discover the power of the present moment. Not only are we are able to handle challenging emotions as they arise, but we can summon feelings of well-being and contentment, no matter what the unknown may bring.
Rooted in the moment, we have the capacity to restore balance and happiness and be present with what is beautiful and affirming inside us and around us, every day.

Critical Praise
"Thich Nhat Hanh shows us that by looking deeply and embracing our whole experience with acceptance, love and understanding, we can go beyond fear and anxiety to find fearlessness and inner peace." — Sogyal Rinpoche

SANTA CLARA -- Aldon Smith wrapped up what he described as an upbeat minicamp Thursday. What comes next for the 49ers' linebacker won't be as enjoyable.
Smith will be sentenced July 25 in Santa Clara County Superior Court after pleading no contest last month to weapons and drunken driving charges.
"I don't know what's going to happen," Smith said at his locker. "I'm going to enjoy my month. I'll work out and stay here."
Smith also plans to spend time with his 1-year-old son and even asked reporters on places to take a toddler.
Smith endorsed coach Jim Harbaugh's advice to the team on staying safe before reconvening July 23 at training camp.
"Beware with whom you associate," Harbaugh said in relaying his end-of-minicamp speech. "It's very important to know your surroundings.
"Friend or foe? There always seem to be a foe. Get in football position. See around corners, under doors and anticipate. But mainly surround yourselves around good people."
Smith is just one of at least five 49ers players who've been involved in police investigations over the past year. And Smith didn't feel as if Harbaugh's advice was pointed strictly at him.
"He was talking to everybody because anybody can be in a situation," Smith said.
Smith appeared to be enjoying every minute of the minicamp's hourlong final practice, whether he was pass-rushing against Joe Staley, lining up on special-teams drills or congratulating Bruce Miller on a benign carry.
"It was a good camp," Smith said. "We all look good, even the new guys."
Harbaugh praised Smith, among several others. "Aldon was dominant today. He had a lot more reps yesterday and we weren't able to block him."
But will Smith be back on that practice field for the 49ers' first session July 24, on the eve of his court sentencing?
"That's to be determined," Harbaugh said.

BRENTWOOD — A 26-year-old man was indicted on assault charges after allegedly punching a woman in Newmarket and fracturing her nose.
William Hernandez is accused of punching the victim in the face, hitting her in the back of the head and pulling her hair during an incident on Sept. 17. The victim received multiple contusions and a nasal fracture, according to court documents.
Hernandez was indicted by jurors in Rockingham County in December on two simple assault charges and a more serious second degree assault charge, alleging he caused serious bodily injury to the victim.
An indictment is not an indication of guilt. Rather, it signifies that a jury found sufficient evidence to warrant a trial.
Hernandez remains incarcerated at the Rockingham County House of Corrections, according to court documents.

Our seats were pretty close like 10th row. We had a fun crew and we were raging for the show. Ripping Jim Foam old school to start which got us in the mood right away. Song choice in for first set is somewhat suspect but still the Bowie was a good type 1 jam. Along with Lizards which I never really connected with musically.
The old school pairing of curtain --) tweezer is always a welcomed treat. Curtain is played well. Love that song. Tweezer is really high energy as well. Trey locks in on a riff right away. He goes high and dirty right away while staying mellow. Gordo and Fish are locked in with a great beat. For 10 min, the band stays in the pocket with a slower jam. Then after about 10 m of this, they blow it up with a bunch of high notes and tension release rock riffs. Then this purposefully falls apart. Fish runs Tweezer which is cool. He was such a beast back then. Lifeboy was a buzz kill for me in 94, but now a days I kind of like it. Nice reflective moment for everyone. Great Possum this night w a signal. Trey completely dismantles Possum and then put it together again. This is how to play Possum. Hood was the song of the show. Long reggae breakdown intro and the end is really beautiful. The energy was so euphoric in the venue during Hood. The ending is the peak of the show. Certainly worth a listen. Too bad there isnt a board of this show just for the Curtain-Tweez-Possum-Hood. Fish was the MVP of this show. The next night was a better show but is heavily reviewed. 6-11-94 was a complete throw down with soundboards on the spreadsheet along with boards for 1993 Red Rocks show which people should take advantage of.

Economists React: Judging South Korea's Growth Plan
Some people celebrate their first birthday or anniversary with a party or a romantic dinner. South Korean President Park Geun-hye marked her first year in office Tuesday by renewing a push for economic reform that she hopes can reignite Asia's fourth largest economy.
With the export-led model that has driven South Korea's economy sputtering, Ms. Park's plan aims to remove red tape, nurture the service sector and boost domestic demand. How much of this can she accomplish before her single five-year term ends in February 2018? Economists weigh in:
Ronald Man, HSBC: First is the 4% potential growth target. We estimate Korea's potential growth to be 3.4% and from this perspective, raising productivity is a key priority for the current government to sustain economic development. Korea will remain an export-led economy during President Park's term. Therefore it is important for Korea to be well positioned to benefit from a meaningful global recovery. Finalizing its FTA [free-trade agreement] with China will be a key milestone. Attention was also placed on rebalancing growth. We need to see if the government follows through with concrete plans on how to liberalize the service sector and make it more competitive. President Park has demonstrated that she's determined to take large strides in strengthening Korea's potential growth rate. Given that the economic theme in Asia is centered on reforms, the political will to deliver and boost potential growth may be stronger now than before.
Raymond Yeung, ANZ: Reducing excessive reliance on exports and improving domestic consumption can help smooth the growth profile. President Park's three-year plan may lift the upside of our current projection on growth if it's executed effectively. The announcement today is consistent with our view that the government is inclined to use fiscal policy to boost growth. On monetary policy, the Bank of Korea appears likely to stay on hold given an improving growth outlook.
Wai Ho Leong, Barclays: To us, the key points in today's announcement are the measures to invigorate the service economy. We continue to expect growth to accelerate to 4.1% in 2014 and 4.2% in 2015 as investment's contribution to overall growth increases. The target of raising potential growth to 4% by 2017 is realistic, in our view…The emphasis of policy has shifted decisively towards structural reform and away from short-term growth boosters, such as fiscal and monetary policy. Given the nature of the proposals, the key factor for success will be the government's ability to implement specific measures quickly, which will require working in a "whole of government" approach that involves larger task forces with multiple government agreements. In the immediate future, we continue to expect Korea's negative output gap to close over coming quarters as growth picks up.
Kang Hyung-gu, Hyundai Securities: Though not completely brand new, the proposed economic-reform policy this time focuses on easing or removing business regulations. Among others, the proposal to allow foreign-exchange futures to be trade onshore around the clock was encouraging; it represents much of what the local finance and banking industry has demanded. It could help boost the local finance industry. The policy goals of raising the country's growth potential to 4%, the employment rate to 70% and per capita income to US $40,000 are not unachievable. The key to success is whether all the action plans will be implemented as scheduled within three years. That's going to be tough.

UVM: An 'art-fueled community'
- 11-14-2011
- By Craig E Wells
The Bulrlington Free Press sent reporter Sally Pollak to campus to observe classes in poetry, music, sculpture and printmaking. Below is her article:
An artist can emerge out of anywhere.
That's what Jane Kent thinks. She is a New York-based artist who teaches printmaking at the University of Vermont. Kent has taught studio art at several universities and colleges, including Cooper Union in New York City.
"I'm a born and bred New Yorker, but I don't believe it's the only game in town by any means," Kent said. "There are people all over the place doing all kinds of amazing things. Is there life here? Yes. Art people come out of anything and everything. There are all different ways to emerge, thankfully."
UVM provides an environment that is suitable and desirable for certain artists, she said.
"It's a quieter place," Kent said. "That's its benefit. If you're in a quieter place, it might be the most wonderful place to emerge. It's possible for people to emerge where they feel like they can."
A student can emerge out of anywhere, too. Even a dark corner of the newsroom. From the newsroom, I walked up College Street a number of times in the past few weeks — to classes, lectures, studios. I lingered at UVM longer than I should have, probably; but apart from a deadline there seemed little reason to walk back down the hill.
I toured the printmaking studio when it was empty, showing it to visiting family. We admired the room, the view of the college green and silvery lake, the old presses. The Mondrian-like painted tables in the hall and kitsch museum are worth a look, too; good for another College Street stroll.
Students told me the creative community at UVM happens outside the classroom as well as within, and sometimes starts in a formal setting before moving in its own direction.
"The faculty is amazing and there are plenty of intelligent kids, people who are motivated enough, with enough energy, to have a creative center," said Pete Willett, a junior music major who plays guitar. "It takes energy to be creative."
The students' creativity emerges in writing classes, literary magazines, art exhibits and open mike forums, Magistrale said. Poetry readings like the Painted Word, organized by Major Jackson, Magistrale's colleague in the English department, are part of a renaissance of poetry as a spoken art, Magistrale said.
"I think you've got these two strands of creative enterprises that don't necessarily touch each other," he said. "And every so often they come together in the classroom."
In visits to classes that teach creative arts - poetry, music, sculpture and printmaking — I discerned an overarching theme: the vocabulary and parameters of the disciplines may not be the same, but the creative endeavor has common characteristics and approaches across fields.
The classes involve teaching the particular vocabulary, what it means and how to use it; finding and refining your creative voice within the conventions and context of the discipline; and the old standby: Practice.
As Magistrale said of his poetry writing: "Less inspiration and more sweat."
'To divine the world is to name it'
Students in Jackson's advanced creative writing class were discussing the work of two poets on a recent Tuesday morning, January Gill O'Neil and Deborah Landau. The writers who would be visiting the campus the next day to read at the Painted Word Poetry Series, a monthly poetry reading at UVM's Fleming Museum of Art.
Jackson asked his students to think about the poets' work "relative to what you know both craft-wise, and what's happening emotionally in the poem." They were throwing around words like lineation, lyric, narrative, reflection.
A poem by O'Neil, "The Only Time I Ever Saw My Mother Drunk," was described as confessional — and Jackson took a moment to talk about confessional poetry.
"If it was just a confession, can it be a poem?" he asked. "Why not go to the therapist with it? Does it transform into literary art?"
Through clarity, imagery, particularity in evoking a world, and courage in addressing a topic, it moves in the direction of art, the students and Jackson proposed.
"One of the important roles of the artist is to divine the world around you," Jackson told his students. "To divine it for the poet, is to name it."
Landau's poetry presented the class with another opportunity to talk about what is and isn't literary art. One student made this observation about Landau's writing: "The only time it's clear is when it comes to sex."
Jackson used the comment to ask his students: "If she's not clear, how is she making art?"
Tone, mood, color, meaning, rhythm, cadence, were the ideas that emerged in the discussion.
"The thing about poetry is that it wants to be more than everyday prosaic speech," Jackson said. "It wants to elevate to sacred speech."
The next night at the Fleming, Jackson's students made up a share of the Painted Word audience. After the reading, a few students talked to me about Jackson's poetry class. Usually they discuss each other's work, the students said.
"I feel like everyone's been getting better about talking about literature," Ross Doree, a senior English major, said. "Good and bad."
Student Ethan McBrien added: "That has a lot to do with the community of the people in the class. The more you get to know people, the more useful the feedback. That comes with time, and is only possible with a relatively small class."
The students are starting to use Jackson's language when they talk about poetry, Doree said.
Jackson will be the fiction/poetry editor of the spring 2013 edition of Ploughshares, a prominent literary journal. Four poems from his collection, "Holding Company," were selected for the "Best American Poetry" 2011 anthology.
"I think there is a symbiotic relationship between my own creative efforts and the kinds of conversations that I engage in with my students," Jackson said. "There's this kind of porous exchange of ideas about what makes this provocative work of art that I bring to my writing.
"I can't say that my writing would be any greater or less if I were isolated somewhere in the Northeast Kingdom. I can say that that dynamic does exist, to which I am granted, and grateful."
'To the shop'
"The artist is the jock of today," said Zeke Maxwell, a sophomore art major with a sculpture focus. "I think UVM is a very art-fueled community."
Maxwell grew up in Washington, D.C., the son of artist Rogelio Maxwell. He chose UVM because he wanted "the college experience, plus good art."
In late October, he presented to sculptor/professor Kathleen Schneider the piece he was working on, and explained that its base — or foot — was a can of Red Bull.
"The entire project has been Red Bull-fueled," he said. "The Red Bull can will hold it up aesthetically."
After discussing technical and structural aspects of his work, Schneider made one more comment: "All right," she said. "To the shop."
The wood and metal shop is in the basement of Williams Hall. It's the place where students work on their projects, equipped with supplies, tools and Paul Decausemacker, the shop keeper with 30 years tenure.
"There's a continuity to making things," said Decausemacker, over the roar of power tools and between advise to students. "I think students learn here that they can actually make things. The assignments are not to end up with a beautiful piece of art, it's to think about how to make a beautiful piece of art. It's how to solve problems."
In Schneider's class, students were asked to respond to Picasso's guitar sculpture. Jessica Snook used the idea of an "implied shape" to build an object that resembles a stereo. She grew up in Africa, and has loved art since she was a little kid.
"Ever since I could hold a pencil, I've been drawing," she said. "It just felt right, to do something that I'm loving."
Two days before her sculpture was due, she was shaping and sanding in the basement of Williams Hall. Snook stopped working for a few minutes to talk about the creative community she's found at UVM.
"From what I've seen from my peers, they have very different points of view and I'm very appreciative of that," Snook said. "I've grown up with people from all over the world. I like being around other people's points of view."
Box of crayons
A few days later and a few floors up in the printmaking studio, Kent's students were presenting and discussing a silkscreen project — one that investigated color values. In formal terms, it was called a critique.
Each student had to construct an image in three screens, using two different color solutions. The value of the colors had to be consistent with a previous project, in which students explored tones of gray. The students had free choice about the content of the image - a component of the assignment that was decided by student vote (and not necessarily how Kent would've cast her ballot).
"I make them do a ton of work," Kent said. "Cause I just don't think you grow unless you do a lot of work. I only have them for 15 weeks: a studio class is where we have to emerge as artists."
The students pinned their related images to a wall, and each work was subject to discussion - about color and content, about technique and process, about the relation of the images to each other.
Not infrequently Kent reminded her students to draw, draw, draw, and draw some more as the foundations for their projects.
I know the word draw, but learned some vocabulary in Kent's class. Terms like pictorial behavior and optical action.
One student, using words we all understand, commented on the two images made by a classmate. "The first one, for me, looks like you got to the box of crayons first," he said. "The second one, you were the last one to get to the crayons."
Kent told her class about discussions that took place when she was a student at Philadelphia College of Art in the early '70s. The questions of the day were: Is printmaking stupid? Is painting dead? That kind of categorization is no longer reliable or relevant, she said.
"The dominant, overarching idea is hybridism," Kent said. "If you break apart all these categories, then how are you going to find a way in? Then how do you find meaning in a work of art? There's so much work in the world, I hate to freak you guys out. In every city, think of all the making, making, making. So how do you find your way? Clearly, by the work you make."
Pastrami on rye
The window was open in the practice room of the UVM Recital Hall, where trumpeter/music professor Ray Vega directed a nine-piece jazz ensemble. The students were rehearsing for a gig at the Davis Center for homecoming weekend.
They were running through jazz tunes under the direction of Vega, a touring musician who moved here from New York City in 2008 to teach at UVM.
The students played "Georgia" and "Joy Spring." It was lively and fun in the practice room, with the discipline and direction of a pro-type rehearsal.
The music was enlivened and elevated by the friendly - and instructive — banter of Vega. "Let's do 'Georgia,' featuring the beautiful voice of Ray Leslie, our resident chef," Vega said. (Leslie, on alto sax, had recently cooked dinner for the Vega family.)
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Good, good, good, good, good, good," Vega said, in time to the tune - offering one exclamation for each player in the group.
Willett, the guitar player, took some good-natured heat for missing the UVM performance in favor of a Pat Metheny show in New York.
"He's full of energy, but he's also a perfectionist," Willett said of Vega, after the rehearsal. "He will hear anything. If anybody's lagging behind, he'll hear it."
Sure enough, Vega had heard some lagging in practice - when the band came in after a drum solo, and the tempo slowed.
"You don't have to make all those hits, it's messing with the tempo," Vega told the drummer. "Don't put too much pastrami in the sandwich."

Those receiving food assistance in Washington County and throughout the state of Ohio will see their monthly food stamp amount cut $25 on average come Jan. 1, 2013.
Just last week, the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services was reportedly cutting monthly assistance by an average of $50.
That's because every year the state of Ohio uses a "methodology" to determine monthly food assistance rates for the coming year, said Tom Ballengee, director of the Washington County Department of Job and Family Services.
Part of this methodology includes a standard utility allowance. The standard utility allowance includes the costs of heating fuel, electricity, cooling costs, water, sewer, trash collection and telephone service, according to the website codes.ohio.gov.
With a reduction in natural gas utility bills thanks to last winter's milder temps, the calculations for 2013 food assistance amounts dropped by about $50 monthly.
"The state (of Ohio) realized this was going to be such a severe reduction," Ballengee said.

- To make a money donation to Gospel Mission Food Pantry, mail a check to P.O. Box 6, Marietta OH 45750.
By figuring the costs of additional heating sources, the state got federal approval to reduce Ohio food assistance by about $25 per month, Ballengee said.
The average family in Washington County receives $205 per month in food assistance, according to Ballengee.
With the 2013 reduction in benefits, county residents receiving food stamps will get a total of $1.2 million less next year, he added.
Phyllis Gregory, 80, of Marietta currently receives $16 per month in food assistance.
She has already turned to Marietta's Gospel Mission Food Pantry six or seven times.
"(The food pantry) does real good. I'm happy," Gregory said.
Gregory said she does not know what her 2013 food stamps benefits will be.
"I just have to go on what they (state of Ohio) give me," said Gregory.
Sharyn Baldrick, 64, of Marietta-who also receives $16 in food stamps per month-had made her second trip to the food pantry Wednesday.
"I don't have much money left after I pay my bills," she said. "...If I have any money, I spend it on food."
According to Baldrick, a drop in her monthly food assistance in 2013 "will really hurt me."
At Gospel Mission Food Pantry, director Candy Waite sees that hurt firsthand.
About a month ago, a Williamstown man who had been laid off after working his job for 17 years came to the food pantry.
"Never in his wildest dreams did he ever think he would have to come into a food pantry. But the food stamps he gets are just not enough to make ends meet," Waite said.
Then, there's the Lowell family who came last week when the woman's $200 in monthly food assistance ran out.
"She had tried to cut back on everything...but (food assistance) just does not last her," said Waite.
Even with $25 less in food stamps than the $50 originally predicted, Community Food Pantry of Marietta will see an increase in people seeking food assistance, said director Bill Farnsworth.
"That $25 is a lot of money to people who don't have very much to begin with," Farnsworth said.
Both food pantries reported an increase in the amount they spend to purchase food for stocking their shelves.
"We are spending $600 to $700 per week on food, in addition to donations," Waite said.
"A year ago, we were probably spending $400 a week," she added.
To make a money donation to Gospel Mission Food Pantry, mail a check to P.O. Box 6, Marietta OH 45750.
Food can be donated to the food pantry on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 4:30 to 8 p.m., and from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday.

This is in response to your article on cigarette butts. Something not mentioned about cigarette butts is how much time and money is wasted by city and other maintenance workers picking up butts. I manage an apartment complex, and it sickens me being a non-smoker to have to pick up the butts of inconsiderate, depressed addicts.
I say this because people who care about their health are positive people. People know smoking is bad for them; however, they smoke because they're stressed about their lives and believe that smoking helps them cope. In reality it only makes things worse. Besides health issues and medical bills, smoking is expensive and takes away money that could be spent on something good.
Also, it makes people stink. Most non-smokers are repulsed of a smoker near them not even smoking because their entire body and clothes are saturated in smoke stink. I believe tobacco is the most addictive substance on the planet. Smokers don't care about themselves to break that chain, so why would they care about the environment?
If manufacturers of cigarettes aren't going to help people stop smoking, they should at least do something about their most polluted item in the world.
A few ideas:
• Make packs of cigarettes with one space having a reusable filter, which would drastically reduce that litter percentage.
• Manufactures can make and sell fashionably designed reusable filters separately, still making them money.
• Make smokes without filters. I mean really, what is a light cigarette anyways? (These cigarettes will kill you slower!) Just make the smoke milder and cigarettes smaller.
• With technology these days, make a filter that's biodegradable — let's face it their current design literally sucks.
If manufactures and smokers don't care and the rest of us do, something needs to be done because we all don't need to suffer.

Hey guys, I'm having issues with my A/V sync. It's always just "slightly" off. I tried using oceanm's directions in the post above this and it's still off by a little. , but it doesn't seem to do anything. I even changed the mc to .1, just so I can see a change in syncing, but I haven't noticed anything change.
I have not tried playing my files in the transcoded folder. For this sync to work, where exactly should I be playing my files from when inside the PMS? My audio settings are as follows:
- "vcodec == h264 :: -noass -mc 0.005 -vc coreavc -mt" into my expert settings
(I changed the mc to .900 just to see if my settings were impacting the sync, they didn't seem to be changing anything)
- A/V Alternate method disabled
- Keep DTS audio in stream enabled
- Remux when audio track is AC3
- 2 channels of audio
- 384 bitrate

Hydropower Dams: Clean Energy Source or Threat to Wildlife?
Your city or town probably either has a large, brand-new hydropower dam or you know of an old one, located on the outskirts; a crumbling relic from an earlier period in your state's history. I know this because according to the national nonprofit conservation organization American Rivers, on average our country has constructed one dam every day since the signing of the Declaration of Independence. And the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers counts approximately 75,000 dams that are greater than six feet along the waterways of the United States. In addition, there are at least tens of thousands of smaller dams spanning our rivers and streams.
Whichever version of the structure is in your area, it seems that dams divide us. While some regard them as a clean energy source, others view them as a danger to river otters and fish populations.
So, are our dams good for the environment, or a threat to wildlife?

John Davidson & Jeff Rimer to co-host this week's "Sunday Morning Skate"
The duo will be on-air for the program's full hour, beginning at 10 a.m. on 97.1 The Fan in Columbus
Thursday, 06.13.2013 / 11:00 AM ET / News
By Rob Mixer - BlueJackets.com (@RobMixer)
CLICK HERE TO LISTEN LIVESet your alarm(s), feed the roosters, go to bed an hour early...whatever you need to be ready at 10 a.m. Sunday.
We're shuffling the deck a bit for this week's Sunday Morning Skate radio show on 97.1 The Fan, and we think you'll enjoy the slight change. Blue Jackets television play-by-play voice Jeff Rimer will be joined in-studio by John Davidson for the program's full hour, and you can rest assured there will be no shortage of topics for conversation between the two of them.
The Stanley Cup Final beginning this week (we had to forge through the early-morning mental fog to get this message out, because three overtimes), as well as the upcoming NHL Draft in New Jersey, trade season and free agency...everything is ramping up and it should be an exciting few weeks with the Blue Jackets. The club, which owns three first-round picks in what's considered to be a very deep draft, has plenty of options at its disposal and more are sure to come down the pike as draft week gets nearer.
We want YOU to be part of this week's special Sunday Morning Skate broadcast, as well. Throughout the show, Jeff and JD will be talking with some special guests, taking YOUR questions and comments about any and all things hockey via Twitter, and more. You can find Jeff on Twitter (@jrimercbj) if you'd like to send him a question for the show.
Until then, we managed to dig up some clips of the last time these two got together for a radio show: the internationally-syndicated "Inside the NHL" program. We hope you enjoy it!

Aptly called Zero, this road shoe has virtually nothing when it comes to downsides. It features a 100% carbon monocoque chassis material, which comes with a laminated silver fiberglass upper. While very stiff, the Epoxy Thermoset resin of the shoes becomes flexible when temperatures are low.
What makes the 2012 Bont Zero Road Cycling Shoe outstanding is the fact that it is currently the most heat moldable shoe available. Very versatile, these shoes can be suitably worn during racing, mountain biking, and during rides on flat roads.

My daily tool for my job (map designer) since 16 years.
Always satisfied!
Illustrator is ridiculously over-priced, but really, it's the best vector tool on the Mac.
Like Photoshop, it's a necessary evil.
i prefer freehand 3.1 :-) its faster and more powerful.
Crashes on quit every single time. Can't see much improvement over CS3.

Masitinib study misses endpoint
01.11.2012 - French AB Science's cancer drug Masitinib failed to improve overall survival in a Phase III study. But certain patient groups might benefit from the treatment.
The double-blind, international Phase III trial enrolled 348 patients with pancreatic cancer and compared masitinib plus Gemzar treatment with Gemzar treatment alone. There was no significant change in the overall survival time of the patients (7.7 vs. 7 months, p=0.74), said the French drugmaker. But in a subgroup of patients with an undisclosed genetic biomarker which is thought to be indicative of aggressive disease progression, the orally administered tyrosine kinase inhibitor masitinib plus Gemzar significantly improved median overall survival vs. placebo plus Gemzar (11 vs. 5 months, p=0.000038). In a second subgroup of patients with a pain intensity level above an undisclosed threshold at baseline, the orphan drug plus Gemzar also significantly improved median overall survival vs. placebo plus Gemzar (8.1 vs. 5.4 months, p=0.01). These two independent patient populations represented 65% and 45%, respectively, of the overall population, according to AB Science.
AB Science also announced that the European Medicines Agency (EMA) has accepted to review the Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) for conditional approval of masitinib in combination with Gemzar in the treatment of non-resectable, advanced adenocarcinoma pancreatic cancer " on the basis of results from a Phase III study that showed masitinib in combination with Gemzar significantly extends overall survival in two independent patient populations having the worst prognosis." Masitinib targets the stem cell factor (SCF) receptor tyrosine kinase (CD117).
Masitinib has been available in Europe since the second part of 2009 as a treatment of mast cell tumors in animals (Masivet), specifically dogs. In the US it is distributed under the name Kinavet by AB Science and has been available for veterinaries since 2011.

Yesterday morning, a police officer in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho shot and killed Craig Jones' dog. The cop approached Jones' parked van with his gun drawn, and when he got close, he says, a pit bull lunged at his face, and he pulled the trigger.
But Arfie was not a pit bull, and according to Jones, he "doesn't even have a mean bone in his body." He was the two-year-old black lab in the photo above. "This still isn't even real to me," the owner told local TV station KREM.
The owner of a coffee shop where Jones' van was parked called police because his white panel van matched the description of a car belonging to a child luring suspect. The officer drew his gun "because of the serious nature of the suspect he was potentially approaching," KREM reports.
"If my dog is barking and wondering who's peering through the windows he doesn't care if you're a cop, an attorney, or President Bush," Jones said. "He doesn't know any difference"

Mork and Mindy are reuniting.
Pam Dawber -- who hasn't been on television since 1999 -- will guest in an episode of CBS's "The Crazy Ones," reuniting her with her "Mork & Mindy husband Robin Williams.
Hopefully they've updated their outfits.
According to Fox, Dawber will play Lily, an author of travel memoirs who catches the eye of Williams' ad agency exec, Simon. The two meet at a book signing, Simon becomes smitten, and they end up having an elderly child played by Jonathan Winters.
No they don't -- that was really weird, by the way. Even for the 70s.
Williams and Dawber (who is married to "NCIS" star Mark Harmon) starred on "Mork & Mindy" from 1978-82. This is her first TV appearance since the 1999 movie "Don't Look Behind You."
"The Crazy Ones" airs Thursdays at 9/8c.

Public Interest Lawyers Show Interest in Autism
This is a guest post by Lorri Unumb, Autism Speaks senior policy adviser and counsel. Lorri also teaches "Autism and the Law" at the George Washington University Law School.
Autism is a hot topic for discussion at various types of conferences these days, from epidemiologists to economists to educators. You still, however, don't often see autism on the agenda at legal conferences. That's why I was so excited over the summer to have the opportunity to speak about autism legal issues at a national conference of legal aid attorneys and encouraged by the keen interest demonstrated by the lawyers in attendance.
Every state in the nation has at least one legal aid organization, which provides legal services to the poor, and a protection and advocacy organization, which provides legal services for the disabled. Lawyers who work at these organizations, as well as public defenders (who work in the criminal arena), are typically members of the National Legal Aid & Defenders Association (NLADA). As set forth in its website (www.nlada.org) NLADA champions effective legal assistance for people who cannot afford counsel, serves as a collective voice for both the civil legal aid and public defense communities throughout the nation, and provides a wide range of services and benefits to its individual and organizational members. Founded in 1911, NLADA is the oldest and largest national, nonprofit membership organization devoting all of its resources to promoting justice for all in the United States.
Among its activities, the NLADA holds national conferences and trainings for public interest lawyers. My husband, Dan Unumb, who is Director of Litigation at South Carolina's legal aid organization, proposed trainings on "Representing Families with Autism" for two of NLADA's summer conferences held jointly in July in Chicago. NLADA enthusiastically accepted and supported the proposal.
The first workshop was presented as part of the Litigation and Advocacy Directors Conference, which is designed for experienced litigation and advocacy directors to assist them in identifying, promoting, and pursuing cutting-edge legal issues in their programs. A panel of five legal experts educated the attorneys on autism legal issues ranging from health insurance to special education to Medicaid. Presenting attorneys included Sue Tobin of Ohio Legal Rights Service and Sarah Somers of National Health Law Project on Medicaid issues, Tracey Spencer Walsh of Mayerson & Associates on special education law, and Dan and me on health insurance and other autism-related issues.
The second workshop was geared to front-line legal aid attorneys who handle day-to-day representation of low-income or disabled clients. At this workshop, Dan and I were joined by Kirby Mitchell, Managing Attorney of one of South Carolina Legal Services' largest offices, to present a broad overview of legal issues surrounding autism including health insurance, special education, Medicaid and life-planning issues such as guardianship, conservatorships, custody and child support, hospital collection defense cases, bankruptcy, Medicaid trusts, tax planning, and Social Security disability actions.
The range of legal issues a family affected by autism may face is vast, and the need for lawyers, judges, and judicial staff to be educated on them is equally great. This outreach is critical to improving legal representation, judicial decisions, and the overall response of the legal system to the complex challenges posed by autism. This summer's presentation was a good step in the right direction, and Autism Speaks is committed to making further inroads toward ensuring effective legal representation of families with autism.

I am pleased to see these services available, however one area I think (legally) that needs to be addressed in today's society is the need for knowledgable staff and legal aide when dealing with CUSTODY and autism. My son has Asperger's and although recommendations were made against a typical arrangement for custody, the courts failed to head the neccessity of the special circumstances in our case. I am still fighting this one to this day, 25,000 dollars later and to no avail. I am pleased to note however, that the "father" in our situation rarely excercises visitation and has not done so for over a year (for various excuses although we feel it most likely has to do with the failed attempt in which he returned our son who was DISTRAUGHT AND UNCONSOLABLE at having to leave his home).
The Family courts need to be more educated in these cases to do what in fact is BEST for the child, which may not be what is TYPICALLY best. I have also searched for someone to help us, but am unable to find someone to take the case unless I have thousands of dollars AGAIN, so I am forced to represent myself. But that is another topic.
Thank you. :)

This is a good resource designed for individuals in the legal sector. Please pass it on.

There is a tremendous need for more pro-bono attorneys helping families with ASD's. As an individual who does educational and other advocacy work for families on the spectrum a tremendous amount of the time, I cannot even begin to articulate the lack of appropriate legal services on their behalves, especially in the educational arena.
I work with families all over the country and see on a continual basis that most of the schools are highly aware that most families don't know their full rights, and are also not in a position to pursue due process if and when needed. This gives the school systems the bully pit, allowing them to deny practically anything they choose, knowing these families do not have the ability to represent themselves and do not have the funding to hire an attorney on their behalf.
Here in the Memphis Metropolitan Area, there is one legal advocacy group, but they are no longer doing any educational advocacy work within the school systems, such as due process for IFSP/IEP's.
I have been spending a tremendous amount of time putting together training resources, based on the FEDERAL MANDATE, so it should not change by state, to help the families without access to appropriate resources. This can at least provide families with a way to learn to advocate on their own behalf, with some understanding of the law and how to navigate through the waters of a difficult IEP process.
You can check out the FREE resources at http://www.youtube.com/autismsolutioncenter
and this is a 9 part IEP Navigation Series. Hope you find it helpful and spread this resource to others who might benefit from it.

I am thankful for this as well. The school district where I live forced me into the corner and I finally had to consult Advocacy Incorporated. They have only represented us for a few weeks but we are already having to request mediation. It is just sad that we have to fight for our children this way. If the school district had their way my son would be locked up in juvenile corrections so the school staff doesn't have to learn how to not provoke a disabled child.

My mom has run into probably the most difficult situation so far in my adult brothers life. My sweet autistic brother has a behavior as people call it .. Giving hugs to strangers. He attempted to hug a neighbor lady in the same apartment complex where he lives with our mother and 1 older brother. They both witnessed that he never touched the lady. my mom tried to explain & apologize for him but the lady ignored her & walked off to her apt. well the lady complained to her family then the apt. site manager. 2 days later my mom received a 30 days notice to move out of her unit without explanation she says she doesnt have to give a reason. we've all tried to talk to the landlords they wont budge to give my mom more time to move. my mom has never had anything like this happen to her before. shes seeked legal representation & all hes got to say is she should move out before the 30 days. why cant they give her more time without an eviction. My mom has been denied for eviction even before being evicted.
October 27, 2010 at 3:00 am
Part 2 of my previous comment. Everyone we'vve seeked help from has told us to hurry and move out and sorry we dont deal with that or even that they dont want to get involved. i have never experienced so much rejection from so many different people and organizations. how are there so many that dont want to help an elderly mother of an adult son with autism? We have come to dead end after dead end on a daily attempt to find people with compassion & understanding with answers solutions something positive. negativity is all around us. why should my loving innocent brother be put into a "home"? because 1 lady doesnt like or want to accept a hug from another human being. are hugs against the law? Are his hugs contaminated with disease? He never touched the lady at all. the worst part is she took her complaint to the police. she states that my brother grabbed her chest & backside & stuckout his tongue to kiss her. how & why does she lie? he never got to give her a hug .. witnesses. I am so sad!!!
October 31, 2010 at 1:04 am
I am so sorry to read of your plight. I have a child with Autism that does tends to hug people. Some are ok with it some are not. He doesn't have an evil bone in his body. Sad thing is if our loved ones with Autism " looked" different there would not be a problem. Because most look " normal" thier behaviors are not tolerated. I fear they day he becomes 18 and may be charged with a crime by " hugging" someone.

Holocaust Denial on Trial, Trial Judgment: Electronic Edition, by Charles GrayTable of Contents
|The question whether the ... >
|The assertion that the ga... >>
What is meant by the term "Holocaust denier"
8.1 The threshold question is whether Irving has denied the Holocaust and, if so, in what terms and how comprehensively? Irving has at no time sought to controvert the following facts:
- (a)that the Nazis established concentration (as opposed to extermination) camps throughout their territories;
- (b)that from about June 1941 when the Nazis invaded the Soviet Union many thousands of Jews and others in the East were shot and killed by Nazi soldiers;
- (c)that from the end of 1941 onwards thousands of Jews were killed by gassing in the Reinhard death camps.
8.2 That being in broad terms Irving's stance, it is necessary, in order to decide whether he is justifiably described by Lipstadt as a "Holocaust denier" to define precisely what is by that term. There has been some debate between the parties as to its meaning. In ordinary usage the word "holocaust" connotes complete destruction, especially of a large number of persons and usually by fire. Irving claimed that the term can be applied to the events of World War II as a whole. But I did not understand him to dispute that it is generally understood to have a narrower significance and that it is perceived to be specifically linked to the fate of Jews during the Third Reich (and not just during the war years).
8.3 Evans argued that the term is generally understood to denote "the attempt by Nazi Germany, led by Hitler, to exterminate the Jewish population in Europe, which attempt succeeded to the extent of murdering between 5 and 6 million Jews in a variety of ways, including mass gassings in camps built for the purpose". It follows that a "Holocaust denier" is someone who, for one reason or another or for a combination of reasons, repudiates the notion that the above definition of the Holocaust is apt to describe what was sought to be done to the European Jews by the Nazis during World War 2. Evans testified that a characteristic of Holocaust denial is that it involves a politically motivated falsification of history.
8.4 In the opinion of Evans, the views expressed by Holocaust deniers include the following:
- (i)that Jews were not killed in gas chambers or at least not on any significant scale;
- (ii)that the Nazis had no policy and made no systematic attempt to exterminate European Jewry and that such deaths as did occur were the consequence of individual excesses unauthorised at senior level;
- (iii)that the number of Jews murdered did not run into millions and that the true death toll was far lower;
- (iv)that the Holocaust is largely or entirely a myth invented during the war by Allied propagandists and sustained after the war by Jews in order to obtain financial support for the newly-created state of Israel.
8.5 According to Evans, whilst the expression of those views is typical, Holocaust deniers do not necessarily subscribe to all of them and the views of some deniers may be more extreme than others. Irving made the point that it would be absurd to label a person a Holocaust denier merely because he or she questions the number of Jews killed under the Nazi regime.

Hey everyone,
I've been using PMS for a long time and I've never really had any issues that I wasn't able to figure out on my own, but now I''m stumped. I recently did a fresh install of Windows 7 because my older version of Windows was not genuine. The Windows I have installed IS genuine, (Win7 Home premium, 64 bit.) As I said before, I've never had a problem like this before, but now, my PS3 and my Samsung TV don't even see the media server. The PMS program gives me the red X and says no renderers found. I've set up everything exactly as I have in the past, I even have my firewall turned totally off, and no anti-virus software on my computer. I'm just totally stumped, so I'm hoping to get some help here.
