I wish I had Lil Jon's voice. He could totally turn a morgue into a dance party, just by yelling a few words really loudly with his Pimp Cup in hand. Add Steve Aoki, one of the hardest partying DJs on the scene today, and a clip from this year's Ultra Music Festival in Miami, and you've got a music video that could make your conservative, 89-year-old grandmother from Kentucky shake her booty. Besides, Steve Aoki looks mighty fine in a flight attendant's uniform. So if you need a quick reminder of your sanity, watch this week's MVP after the jump.
Hollerado's video for their single "AMERICANARAMA" went viral a few months ago, but that doesn't make it any less visually interesting. Their creative use of "human 8-bit" has generated a lot of buzz, and many have compared them to OK Go, a band that is heralded for their off-kilter music videos (like the one of them on the treadmill). And if you don't know what I mean by "human 8-bit," then watch the clip after the jump. It's a clever homage to the great American tradition of video games from a fun, upcoming Canadian band for this week's MVP.
Did you know that Friday comes after Thursday and before Saturday? Apparently Rebecca Black didn't or, if she did, she just wanted to give us all a friendly reminder. In spite of the heavy Autotune, Black's voice remains shrill and her attempts at Mariah-esque riffs are cringe-worthy. The lyrics are inane and the graphics in this video are, in a word, tacky. But let's put production value and actual musicianship aside for a minute. Did anyone else notice that Rebecca's friend – who is "cruising so fast" on the highway with her – has braces? Braces!! All I know is that she should not be cruising in the back of a convertible. What are her parents thinking? If you haven't seen this newest YouTube sensation, take some time to party, party, party on a Friday with Rebecca Black on this week's Music Video Pick. But be forewarned; you may have to look away in discomfort and pain.
Ke$ha looks surprisingly clean in her video for her newest single "Blow." In fact, for a moment, I even forgot that this is the girl who brushed her teeth with "a bottle of Jack." But in spite of this new-found hygiene, Ke$ha's video still manages to stay in the realm of the absurd. And in her world, the absurd includes making out with a unicorn in a tuxedo and hitting on that guy from "Dawson's Creek." Watch it for yourself after the jump on this week's MVP – Music Video Pick.

The White Stripes are officially over, according their official website. After over thirteen years of collaboration and great music, the dynamic duo is finally calling it quits. In their open letter to their fans, Jack and Meg explained that they were breaking up "mostly to preserve What is beautiful and special about the band and have it stay that way."

Girl Talk came out with All Day on Monday, November 15, and the Internet shut down. All of Girl Talks albums are offered online for a free download, but his website is still struggling to keep up with the high demand; as of this morning, there were still difficulties in downloading the newest album, but procuring a copy is worth the wait and the online frustration.

A constant source of contention between my parents stems from my father's love of music memorabilia, and my mom sort of has a point. This is the man who has a three-foot square poster of R. Crumb's artwork for Big Brother and the Holding Company's 'Cheap Thrills' prominently placed above their bed. (I think my mom is most opposed to the image of Janis Joplin splayed out on a bed, nipples fully erect.) The most common debate in our household, however, has to do with my dad's ever-expanding record collection. When you walk into our living room, you are greeted by bookcases teeming with vinyl, flanked by dozens of milk crates strategically placed to catch the spillover.
If you haven't noticed, the Beatles finally made an agreement with Apple, and as of Tuesday morning, you can now find their entire collection on iTunes. This band has been the biggest hold-out on the music download front, so their appearance on iTunes solidifies the shift in the music industry from physical records and CDs to digital music.
If you already have all of the Beatles' music or just don't want to spend $149.00 on the box set, you should still check out some of the features on iTunes. There a short four-minute video entitled "The Beatles Through the Years," along with a full concert video from their performance "Live at the Washington Coliseum, 1964."

I always find it a little nerve-racking to go to a concert and see nothing but two laptops and a drum set onstage. For some reason, I find it hard to believe that those are the only tools necessary to entertain an audience, least of all a sold-out crowd at Boston's House of Blues. Pretty Lights, however, are masters of this art form and more than kept their fans happy at their show on November 5.

MARIETTA - Whether a seasoned chef or microwave maven, hundreds of culinarily curious individuals converged at Marietta College's Dyson Baudo Recreation Center Thursday night for the eighth Taste of Home Cooking School.
"I'm hoping there's something new for everybody tonight," said Taste of Home culinary specialist Cheryl Cohen.
Cohen, who has been hosting Taste of Home cooking schools for six years, had plenty of recipes in her repertoire Thursday, whipping up 10 dishes during the two-hour event. The Marietta Times co-sponsored the Taste of Home Cooking School along with the Food 4 Less and Warren's IGA supermarkets.

Whipple resident Michelle Crum gushed about the wine purses she found at the eighth Taste of Home Cooking School at Marietta College's Dyson Baudo Recreation Center Thursday evening. The cylindrical purses, which come equipped with a wine cork, were being sold by Moundsville business The Bag Lady.
"We're gonna teach you a little French cooking and show you just how easy it can be," said Cohen as the succulent smell of chicken paillard with cherry sauce and parsley rice took over the large room.
Trying all the new recipes is what draws Sandra Brown, 69, of Mineral Wells to the Taste of Home events, she said.
"I've been here and Ripley both," said Brown, who brought her friend Kathy Collins to the event as a birthday present.
"I've never been to one. I work in a school system as a cook, and I thought it might be nice to get some ideas," said Collins, 54, of Freeport, W.Va.
Marietta resident Cherylann Cox, 54, was enjoying her first Taste of Home experience from the front row thanks to her daughter, 34-year-old Missy Lutz.
"She's my mom and she deserves to have something nice done for her," said Lutz.
Cox loves to cook, and said she was most looking forward to the cooking segments.
It is a good trade off, added Lutz, who is expecting a baby in August.
"I like to eat," she said with a smile.
Before the cooking show and at intermissions, attendees enjoyed samples and product and service demonstrations from dozens of vendors with booths set up around the room.
Michelle Crum of Whipple raved about her new discovery.
"The wine purses. They are the most awesome thing here. I'm going to buy one," said Crum, 46, as she checked out the many options offered by Moundsville business, The Bag Lady.
Crum and her mother, 70-year-old Jane Cox, were also scoping out possible recipes for Crum's daughter's upcoming graduation party.
"The Broughton's ice cream was delicious. That was a favorite," added Cox.
Vendor Amanda Sams was offering samples of milk chocolate cinnamon dusted almonds and chocolate covered espresso beans from her local Dove Chocolate Discoveries business.
"It's nice having a cooking show to get experience from. There's been a lot of foot traffic and I've noticed a few people who are not even from this area," said Sams.
Sams' new home-based chocolate business offers chocolate tasting parties, premium chocolate products not found in stores, and more, she said.
"I always enjoy visiting with customers and friends and showing off any new items," said Food 4 Less manager Bucky Lee, who was giving out many samples including Cuties, tiny California Mandarins.
Those in attendance received take-home samples and a cookbook, which showed how to prepare several of the dishes in the Taste of Home cookbook, including all 10 featured by Cohen at the event.

ISO LeanPro 100% Whey Protein isolate is made by a unique microfiltration process that involves NO heat or acid treatment like that used in ion-exchange whey protein production.
ISO LeanPro is not a blend containing whey protein concentrate, peptides, or other proteins. You get only 100% pure whey protein isolate as the source of protein.
ISO LeanPro is sugar-free, so it's perfect for dieting.
ISO LeanPro is lactose-free, so there is no bloating, gas, or indigestion associated with cheap proteins.
ISO LeanPro is gluten-free, perfect for individuals who must avoid gluten because they suffer from gluten sensitivities.
ISO LeanPro is perfect for athletes, bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts who demand the purest, highest quality protein available on the market.
ISO LeanPro has a BV of 159, making it more bioavailable than any other protein source. The most accurate way of testing the bioavailability of proteins is with the BV (Biological Value) method which measures actual nitrogen retention in humans.

ISO LeanPro 100% Whey Protein Isolate is an excellent source of all the essential amino acids and is extremely rich in the branched chain amino acids (BCAAs), leucine, isoleucine and valine. Branched chain amino acids make up one-third of muscle protein and are important to athletes because training increases the body's demand for them. An adequate supply of BCAAs in the blood is insurance against loss of muscle size and strength. ISO LeanPro is also high in glutamine, which accounts for approximately 60% of all free amino acids in the body.

Since Osky has moved, a nice spot to run the tryouts will the March 12th weekend. I hope most will come out on Saturday, but if you can't make it we can arrange something for another day. Your rounds will need to be witnessed by others trying to qualify.
I'm hoping for a minimum of 2 teams. With the top guys from Cedar Rapids abandoning their team, we could very well go 1 and 2 this year. Once I get 16, 24, or 32 guys locked in, we'll figure out team captains.
Qualifying info:
Your best 2 rounds @ Big Creek (longs) will be averaged. Play as many rounds as you want, but the rounds used must be in one day, and witnessed by other players. Normal OB's and PDGA rules apply.
Hope to see alot of you out there....if you have suggestions on people to contact directly (they don't use this board) please let me know.

Got Clues? As you have quickly discovered neither the Atlas Quest (AQ) site nor the Letterboxing North America (LBNA) site contain clues to my planted Letterboxes in the state of Idaho. This is not an elitist move on my part (if only I was so special) or to deter individuals and families from boxing in Idaho but to protect the existing and new Letterboxes I have planted from vandalism so there are intact Letterboxes for you to find. The boxes that were vandalized in 2009 and 2010 have been retired and/or re-carved, moved and re-planted.
Please send me an e-mail clue request to firstname.lastname@example.com. Once I have verified that you are in fact a true blue Letterboxer via the information you have provided I will e-mail you in return with the clues to the Letterboxes you are hoping to find.
Should you be a brand new Letterboxer I highly recommend that you set up an account on both LBNA and AQ, start logging boxes you have found and watch for local events to become involved in the Idaho fun filled and highly enthusiastic Letterboxing community. If you are feeling a little clueless all around please let me know and we can arrange a time to meet in person so I can show you the ropes.
I look forward to seeing you on the trails. Happy hunting!

A Statement of Enduring Love
Posted by Shreve & Co. at 7:46:28 AM in Christopher Designs (26)
Over the years, engagement rings have been given as a symbol of everlasting love and devotion. No one really knows when this symbolic tradition began but ancient Egyptians used to give engagement rings made of bone or ivory. Now, engagement rings are made of precious metals such as gold or platinum and enhanced by the brilliance of diamonds. Diamonds are the perfect gems for engagement rings. The enduring rock, whose beauty outshines all others when handled with expertise and care, appropriately symbolize enduring love. Christopher Designs understands that an engagement ring is not only a symbol of a couple's love for each other but a statement of personal style as well. The company constantly strives to create unique bands of exemplary quality and elegant designs that would satisfy even the most discriminating customer. Creating the breathtaking diamond cut called the Crisscut, founder Christopher Slowinski has added the spectacular beauty of this brilliant gem to his fabulous array of engagement rings and bands.
If you wish to give only the best, find Christopher Designs at Shreve & Co. in Portland, Oregon, San Francisco, California, and Palo Alto, California.

SAN JOSE -- Last Thanksgiving, the usually downtrodden San Jose High football team brought an unexpected wave of momentum into the Big Bone Game against rival Lincoln High with an unbeaten record and savoring its first league title in 63 years.
But the feel-good vibe ended for the Bulldogs with the horrific sight of a team player lying motionless on the turf with a neck injury late in a 55-13 loss.
That day marked the beginning of a terrible year of real-life tragedy and on-field futility, and the beleaguered Bulldogs now limp into the 71st edition of the Big Bone 0-9. In February, a player was slain in broad daylight just off campus -- leaving the team badly shaken. Coach Darrell Williams has dealt with a family medical crisis. About 20 kids turned in their gear for academic or disciplinary reasons.
"It's been the hardest year of my life, and I know it's been hard on the kids," said Williams, who is in his third season at the school. "But with everything that's happened to us, it's been a reminder that football isn't just about wins and losses."
For the players who will take to the San Jose City College field Thursday morning, football has become a refuge and rallying point -- despite their lack of success.
"We've stayed together," said lineman Isaiah Espinoza, who recovered from a spinal contusion in last year's Big Bone to play his senior season. "We're trying to do the right things and look out for each other. We've tried to keep each other off the streets.
"We saw what can happen."
The school, which is 150 years old and the smallest high school in the San Jose Unified School District with an enrollment of 1,100 students, brimmed with enthusiasm entering the 2012 Big Bone Game. After posting a winning record just three times in the previous 20 seasons, the Bulldogs had claimed the Blossom Valley Athletic League's "C" division championship and were 9-0.
But for the 15th consecutive year, they were no match for Lincoln, the BVAL's "B" division champs. More frightening, the game was halted for 30 minutes as paramedics immobilized Espinoza after he injured his neck. He was released following a night from Valley Medical Center.
That, however, was about the last bit of good news the Bulldogs have enjoyed.
On Feb. 13, Anthony Santa Cruz, 17, a junior on last year's team, was stabbed to death just off campus in the middle of the afternoon. Suddenly, a player whom teammates teased for wearing green cleats that clashed with the San Jose's cardinal, gray and white colors was gone.
"When he passed away, it hurt so much," senior quarterback Gabriel Miranda said. "This team is like family. It was like a hit to the gut."
There have been no arrests, and police say there are no suspects.
"It was eye-opening for those kids," said Elsa Lopez, Santa Cruz's mother. "The players were so emotional. I know the thing that scares them is that they never caught these guys. That weighs on them."
The killing is being investigated as gang-related. But Lopez, Williams and teammates say the teen had moved beyond that world and was focused on football and school. Sometimes he would bring his now 3-year-old son to practice and talked of trying to be a good father.
"He quit that life and was all about taking care of his son," said Espinoza, fighting back tears. "I saw him walking home the day before he died and said, 'Coach said he wants you out at practice.' He said, 'Tell coach I'll be there tomorrow.' "
This season, the team had big hopes and numbers as 51 kids came out for football. The optimism evaporated quickly. Williams, who was distracted last season with the death of his parents, set a stricter tone -- holding players accountable by requiring attendance at all practices and good grades.
Players lacking that commitment either left or were asked to leave.
"I'd rather lose all 10 games than have kids that are disrespecting in the classroom, disrespectful with the coaches, not team players, grumbling about everything we do," Williams said. "I told 'em earlier that we weren't going to have the same lack of discipline that we had last year. In all reality, we shouldn't have won as many games because last year I should have done the same things that I am doing now."
With some of their best athletes gone and the team moving up to the league's "B" division, the losses piled up, and Williams faced another personal ordeal.
His son Christian, 17, a football player at The Harker School, underwent tests for back pain that led to fears he might have lymphoma. Eventually, he was diagnosed with osteomyelitis, an infection that damaged two disks and took him out of school this semester.
"The 'C' word was definitely in play, so it's been very traumatic," said Williams, 51. "He's recovering, so we can't complain after where we were a couple of months ago. But I still haven't breathed easy."
The players who will try to wrest away the Big Bone trophy from Lincoln wear "AS" helmet decals in honor of Santa Cruz -- as well as a symbol of their unity.
"Obviously winning and losing hasn't been the best this year," Espinoza said. "But I will remember these guys the rest of my life. These are my brothers. They're my own blood."
Lopez, who attended San Jose High and will attend Thursday's game, understands that bond. She recalls how much her son loved his team.
"I've told the players, 'Always remember, you have an angel on your side,' " she said.
Before the Bulldogs' most recent game, Williams looked at his winless team and asked: "Why not now?" But opponent Westmont High ran back the opening kickoff for a touchdown, and the score was 46-0 in the final seconds. Then, another dreary loss turned into something magical.
Williams had noticed a Westmont player who has special needs run the ball before leaving the field to a standing ovation. The San Jose coach called time out and asked the referee to tell the Westmont sideline: Put the kid back in, and we'll let him score. So on the final play, San Jose defenders cleared a path for the player, a manager who was suiting up for the first time, rambled for a touchdown.
The Bulldogs joined the Westmont team in the end-zone celebration. Those, Williams said, are my kids.
"Whether we win the Big Bone or not, it takes character to get through a season like this," he said. "We don't have the wins we want, but we have character. And that's more important."

71st Big Bone Game
Who: Lincoln High (5-4) versus San Jose High (0-9)
When: 11 a.m. Thursday
Where: San Jose City College
Last year: Lincoln won, 55-13
History: The series began in 1943. San Jose has not beaten Lincoln since 1997, losing 15 consecutive games. The rivals play for a trophy that features a cow femur. The Thanksgiving Day game has been plagued by scary injuries in recent years. In 2009, San Jose star Matt Blea needed lifesaving brain surgery after suffering a hairline skull fracture. Last year, San Jose lineman Isaiah Espinoza suffered a neck injury that put him in the Valley Medical Center ICU for one night.
The slaying of San Jose High football player Anthony Santa Cruz is one of two killings featured on a new program, "Make the Call, San Jose!" It premieres Friday at 7 p.m. on local-access Channel 30. The plan is to produce six shows that bring attention to 12 slayings where investigative leads have grown cold and the public's help is needed. Anyone with information about an unsolved homicide featured in the program can leave a tip with Silicon Valley Crime Stoppers at 408-947-STOP (7867) or with svcrimestoppers.org.

Switching Medicare Plans Outside of Open Enrollment
I signed up for a new Medicare Advantage plan during open enrollment in the fall, but now that I'm using the plan, I found out that it doesn't cover some of my doctors. Can I switch to another Medicare plan before the next open enrollment?
SEE ALSO: How to Find Doctors Who Accept Medicare
Yes, if you act by February 14. But there are restrictions. You can only switch to an original Medicare plan, not to another Medicare Advantage plan. Since you would be leaving Medicare Advantage, you would also have the option to choose a Part D prescription-drug plan.
If you miss the February 14 deadline, you generally need to wait until the next open-enrollment period -- October 15 to December 7, 2012 -- to make changes to your coverage for the following year (except in the case of certain life-changing events). See Understanding Medicare Enrollment Periods for more information about these special situations and about the general rules for enrolling in and changing plans.

ingredient information
Soybeans Dry Roasted
There are over 1,000 varieties of this nutritious LEGUME, ranging in size from as small as a pea to as large as a cherry. Soybean pods, which are covered with a fine tawny to gray fuzz, range in color from tan to black. The beans themselves come in various combinations of red, yellow, green, brown and black. Their flavor is generally quite bland, which may explain why they weren't embraced by Western cultures until their nutritive value was discovered. Unlike other legumes, the soybean is low in carbohydrates and high in protein and desirable oil. Because they're inexpensive and nutrition-packed, soybeans are used to produce a wide variety of products

Melon and peach notes

LEAVES- ; COLOR- Pale gold
Health Benefits
Both black, green tea and white teas originate from the same plant, the Camellia sinensis. However, the final product differs in style, taste and caffeine content due to differences in processing. Green teas are not fermented or fully oxidized like black teas, but instead steamed or pan fired. White teas consisting only of young buds, are withered and immediately dried in the sun or by steam. Like black and green teas, white tea contains an abundant source of natural plant-derived antioxidant compounds called polyphenols. Included within the broad antioxidant polyphenol class are flavonoids and catechins. A kind of flavonoid, catechins are found in tea leaves and may provide protective antioxidant action against harmful free radicals. Research shows that these free radicals cause heart disease, some kinds of cancer and increase the risk of strokes. Drinking white tea with its high antioxidant levels help protect the body by combatting dangerous free radical activity. Further health benefits of white tea may include lowering cholesterol, strengthening the immune system, promoting healthy blood vessel functionality and even protecting teeth and bones. In addition, white tea provides a source of nutrients including magnesium. Manganese, potassium, calcium, and the vitamins C and K all in trace amounts. White teas contain the least amount of caffeine of all teas, generally ranging in the cup from 5-15 milligrams.
Try White Orchard for a delicate infusion with lingering peach and melon notes. Pairs well with fruit, a cream-based dessert or pastry.

Your tax-deductible gift to the Naval Institute Press underwrites worthy books that might not otherwise be published.
Foreword by James Bradford
Admiral Lord Howe's long and honored career as a naval commander and diplomat made him a significant figure in eighteenth-century England, yet until now there has never been a comprehensive biography about him. This fascinating and thoroughly researched book fills a large gap in Royal Navy history as it examines Admiral Howe's life from his days as a midshipman through his service in four wars: the Seven Year War where he led the attack on Quiberon Bay, the American Revolutionary War where he commanded the British squadron, the Third Relief of Gibraltar, and the French Revolutionary War where he defeated the French fleet on the Glorious First of June. This long overdue biography also takes a careful look at Howe the skilled diplomat as he sought to forestall the American Revolutionary War through negotiation with Benjamin Franklin and served as First Lord of the Admiralty in the government of Pitt the Younger. It is essential reading for age-of-sail enthusiasts.

Every time I pass the bags of baby spinach at the grocery store, I'm reminded of the E. coli outbreak a couple of years ago. Am I being paranoid about avoiding this product? Is there anything I can do at home to protect myself against eating contaminated greens?
— Nancy C., Ashland
No, you're not paranoid. A recent study released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention fingered produce as the United States' leading cause of food poisoning, accounting for nearly half of all cases.
While items like melons with their grooved exteriors, provide places for bacteria to lodge, the CDC says leafy greens like lettuce and spinach were the worst culprits for food poisoning between 1998 and 2008.
Greens marketed as "washed and ready to eat" or "triple-washed," in fact harbored bacteria that commonly indicate poor sanitation and fecal contamination. In 39 percent of samples tested in 2010 by the publishers of Consumer Reports, these greens also exceeded acceptable limits on total coliform. The study concluded that consumers should wash all bagged or boxed lettuce and greens.
Michael Doyle, director of the Center for Food Safety at the University of Georgia, warns against buying bagged greens. Instead, purchase whole heads of lettuce or greens, remove the outer-surface layers where bacteria are most likely to be present, then wash the greens under cold, running water.
Doyle has conducted studies, according to a story by McClatchy New Service, that show cutting and bagging lettuce in processing plants actually can trap bacteria inside leaves, meaning no amount of scrubbing or washing will rid them of germs. At that point, only cooking can render the greens safe to eat.

On Twitter
Tuscaloosa Mayor Walt Maddox, the Tuscaloosa Tourism and Sports Commission, Bryan Mayor Jason Bienski, College Station Mayor Nancy Berry and the Bryan-College Station Convention and Visitors Bureau have agreed to the wager.
The winning team will provide a slab of ribs from a local barbecue restaurant, along with school T-shirts, to the losing team's city officials. The losing team will be photographed eating the ribs while wearing the opposing team's school colors. The losing convention and visitors bureau staff will also take a picture wearing the other school's shirt at a tourist hot-spot within their city.
The wager will be completed before the end of the year. The public is encouraged to stay up to date on the wager by following the cities and tourism bureaus on social media.

At the Language & Culture Institute (LCI), courses follow an academic curriculum. We integrate the essential skills of listening and speaking, reading and writing into one complete program of study. Classes vary by level and include targeted domains such as conversation, academic writing and Western academic theory. The integration of these important skills with language helps prepare students for study at Oklahoma Christian University (OC).
Progress in LCI depends on personal motivation, initial level of English proficiency, and language aptitude. Students preparing for academic study in the United States should generally allow themselves two semesters of English training in our program to be fully prepared for academic course work.
LCI is structured to accelerate learning through maximal time in the classroom with features that help the student attain language goals sooner. LCI offers two 15-week semesters, as well as one accelerated 10-week summer session.

2 < Dr Longerich, Recalled.
3< Cross-Examined by Mr Irving.
4 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Yes.
5 MR IRVING: Before we start, there is one thing I would like to
6do. Dr Longerich has used me as a post box. I have no
7idea what these things are. There are some documents
8I think that he sent for. I cannot speak to him so can
9I hand them to him now? I do not know what they are.
10 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Yes. Mr Irving, it is sensible just to clear
11this up.
12 MR IRVING: My Lord, I have a problem. I have brought the
13wrong file with me so I am going to have to go back to
14Duke Street to get it, which will take half an hour,
15unfortunately, which is extremely stupid of me.
16 MR JUSTICE GRAY: These things happen. You have done pretty
17well so far. Just let us sort out these documents first.
18 MR RAMPTON: Perhaps your Lordship would deal with it. As I
19say, I have not spoken to Dr Longerich today, They arrived
20in my chambers this morning.
21 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Dr Longerich, take us through them one by
22one. Have you got copies, first of all, for Mr Irving and
23for everyone else.
24 MR RAMPTON: I have copies here, yes.
25 A. [Dr Heinz Peter Longerich] It is just I asked the Institute in Munich to provide me
26with a number of documents, two or three, concerning the
1vernichtung arbeit in relation to work we discussed on
2Thursday. If necessary, I can provide these documents,
3and I can quote from them. I used Mr Rampton's fax
4machine because there was no other way to get them here in
6 MR JUSTICE GRAY: How do these documents help?
7 A. [Dr Heinz Peter Longerich] I do not know. It is just in case if we expand. I do not
8want to use them. I do not suggest we use them but, if we
9go and discuss this point further, I am here to provide
10evidence that the term vernichtung arbeit was used during
11the war. It is not a post war expression.
12 MR JUSTICE GRAY: I think what I will do is suggest that we
13leave this until re-examination by Mr Rampton. Does that
14apply to all of the documents you have, what you just
15said? Is that just one document you are talking about, or
16the whole lot?
17 A. [Dr Heinz Peter Longerich] There are two or three.
18 Q. [Mr Justice Gray] There are not any other documents?
19 A. [Dr Heinz Peter Longerich] No, not at the moment.
20 MR RAMPTON: Can I suggest, my Lord, that we use a little bit
21of re-examination as evidence-in-chief to deal with these
22documents and then, if Mr Irving wants to ask anything
23arising out of that, he should do but not now.
24 MR JUSTICE GRAY: I do not mind when it happens. I do not
25suppose Mr Irving minds when it happens.
26 MR RAMPTON: Dr Longerich ought to have a chance to read them
2 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Mr Irving, you handed in a clip. Should I
3spend some of the time looking through that or not?
4 MR IRVING: I can tell your Lordship what they are. You asked
5for a translation of the Wannsee protocol, and that is one
6of them. I have also provided your Lordship with a
7complete translation of the Karl Wolff manuscript,
8and ----
9 MR RAMPTON: Are we allowed to have them?
10 MR IRVING: Yes. I faxed a copy of it to the instructing
11solicitors over the weekend, but I also emailed it. My
12Lord, I think this is a proper time to say that at some
13time today I will be making submissions on the relevance
14of right-wing extremism. Quite simply, this is, I think,
15the proper time to do it, obviously not while
16Dr Longerich, his metre is running, so to speak, probably
17this afternoon some time, and I shall be asking your
18Lordship to possibly have a look at the appropriate page
19of Gatley into which I have read more deeply than Mein
20Kampf, I have to admit. I think it is page 43 of Gatley
21that I draw your Lordship's attention to and I think
22footnote 88, in particular. Your Lordship will see the
23relevance of that. It is Devlin L. It is the Butalazi
25 MR JUSTICE GRAY: The which?
26 MR IRVING: Butalazi, there was a case on, I am sure your
1Lordship is familiar with the kind of authorities.
2 MR JUSTICE GRAY: It is not perhaps one of the best known
3cases, but I think I know there was one.
4 MR IRVING: It is purely the question of whether extremism is
5defamatory, what is meant by extremism. I think we ought
6really to look at that.
7 MR JUSTICE GRAY: You certainly make your submissions and
8I agree the timing is best after Dr Longerich.
9 MR IRVING: The other point which I wish to take up with your
10Lordship, very briefly, is that I am not getting the
11digital transcript.
12 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Right.
13 MR IRVING: I am only getting a paper transcript. A dispute
14has arisen with the court reporters over the provision to
15me of the digital transcript. I have not it since
16February 3rd. It is a serious disadvantage to me. I have
17offered them money. I have offered them other
18inducements. This is a matter which I would like your
19Lordship to give a friendly word to the court reporting
20service that ----
21 MR JUSTICE GRAY: You will have to tell me a little bit more
22about the reasons they give for not giving the digital
24 MR IRVING: Indeed.
25 MR JUSTICE GRAY: I mean, I have a feeling that I know what the
26problem is but you ----

Authorities searching for man who robbed Greer Dollar General employees
Published: Monday, March 25, 2013 at 10:42 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, March 25, 2013 at 10:42 a.m.
Deputies say a man robbed two Dollar General employees at gunpoint early Monday morning.
Spartanburg County deputies responded to the store at 423 New Woodruff Road, Greer, about 7:15 a.m., according to an incident report.
Two clerks reported that they were leaving the store to make a deposit when they were met at the front door by a black man wearing a dark coat over a white, hooded shirt, according to the sheriff's office.
The robber pointed a gun at the employees, forced them back into the store and made them open the register and empty the safe, the report states. The man took deposit bags and fled toward Highway 101. No injuries were reported.
Anyone with information on the incident may call CrimeStoppers at 1-888-CRIMESC.

I am in some desperate need of help. I signed up 3 years ago now to help coach within the Youth Soccer Association. Since then i have coached my own division 1 team for a year now. I absolutely love my 4/5/6 year olds. They can be kind of crazy, but they make me laugh all the time. My own daughters got me involved in it. We have a 7 year old and a 5 year old that are involved with soccer. The 5 year old is just starting to come around and not poop out after a few minutes. My 7 year old, who turned so aggressive (in a good way) last fall, was moved up to division 2 this year due to her age and experience. Now that she is in the next level up she has lost all her interest in playing. She tells me now that she doesn't want to play. As a mom, i have told her that i feel that she signed up to play both seasons (spring and fall) and she should finish out the season and not "quit" on her teammates. Maybe i am being too rough on her, and i guess i need help with this. I don't want to turn her away from other options or from soccer in general. Maybe she really doesn't want to play right now. My thoughts to her not wanting to play are because she hasn't "scored a goal" yet. She is a good defensive player but at this age doesn't really understand that some kids are meant to play in the back and some up front, she is also a lot smaller than most kids in this division. How do i help her feel more comfortable, or do i just let her quit? i really don't want to keep saying you can't be a quitter, because i am feeling so guilty about that statement now, but what do i do? Her uncle coaches her team now and its not really easy for me to talk to him about what we can do with her. He doesn't really seem to be the type to build confidence either. Please please help me!! - mom in CT of 3.
Do not let her quit. It's not about "not being a quitter". Iknow what you mean by that but that phrase in-and-of-itself has nothing but a negative, confrontational context for kids. Explain that it is about responsibility and commitment. This is one of those tough times that a parent must do what is right for their child even though it is not easy.
Have a heart to heart in which you firmly declare that the fact is that she will finish out the season (s) that she committed to... and that being a fact now we can discuss what you do want to do once this commitment has been fulfilled... softball, basketball, running, dance, etc. I think we all agree that our kids need some sort of exercise and we can certainly introduce them to various activities but having them involved in the decision process is very important.
Do not forget to impress upon her that you are very glad to involve her in the decision process but to remember that once a commitment is give there is a responsibility to see it through.
Hopefully she comes around, enjoys what she is doing and picks wisely (with your help) for the next adventure but regardless... most of our kids wont become professional athletes but with our help they will be healthy, responsible, well rounded adults ... someday... now if I can just figure out how to get mine to hang up a wet towel...
Hi - I'm certainly no expert in anything but I was just wondering if it could be the social issue (she may have just made friends with the group that she was doing so well in and then they moved her up because of her skills- now she has to start all over again and she is younger than the rest of the girls). The other issue would be the fact that she was a star in the previous group and now it's harder to score because these girls are older and more skilled. Kids really just want to play the game and have fun. I read an article on the www.karldewazien.com website called "Creating the Passion" - it's in the middle of the Home page. It has some good points- there are other artilces there too that are good. Not sure about what to do now that she is on this new team. Maybe invite some team members over (slumber party or just during the afternoon) so that she can get to know them better. Girls need to bond and share experiences- this may help them want to pass to her and work together to make the team better. Perhaps they could set up some small sided games in the backyard make it a game with rewards, use cones (or upside down plastic pots) as a goal (about arms length apart) and have them play one vs one for 5 minutes- then have them count up the score. Just having fun together will help them get to know each other better and perhaps she will want to keep playing. Good luck and I hope she doesn't quit.
Hello, when I was small, I begged my parents to sign up for soccer (from about K to 1st). My mom finally signed me up, and I excelled at the sport just b/c I really wanted to be out there. After I got a little older (10 maybe), I got an invitation to sign up for a select (travel) team. In moving up to this level of play, I was physically the smallest kid on the team, and I also felt a lot of pressure. Consequently, my playing ability got much worse, and I didn't want to play anymore. My parents pulled me off the select team and put me back in recreation. My confidence really improved and I started to have fun again. I also (finally) grew, and I matched the size and stength of the other players. I then stepped back up to select and later went on to play in college.
Based on the experience I had, I am thinking that the most important thing is to try and figure out why your daughter has lost interest. Even though she is young, if you ask her how she is feeling and what she likes and does not like about soccer, you may learn the root of the problem. Anything she would share with you would give you insight (the parents shout mean things; the kids were teasing me about not scoring, etc.). You could then ease her concerns and address her issues.
If you know of any local high school or college players, you could have them as a guest at one of your practices to discuss team work to the group, and how every player on the field is very important and has their own job.
Unfortunately I would not let her quit. It is a good lesson to prepare her for future challenges in life. I would support her and listen to her feelings for the rest of the season to help see her through. Hoefully you can find the root and maybe she will want to continue playing in the future if you can ease her concern.
Good luck! She is lucky to have such a caring mother.
I am surprised at such a young age, that their are different competitive levels of soccer. I coach U6, U7, and U8 boys here in Georgia and we don't have competitive levels until U9 and U10. Then kids can decide if they want to play rec soccer (for the fun) or select soccer (travel soccer for competition). Is it possible that your daughter's feelings could stem from your coaching the younger team, and not her team. I agree with the other posters that she should stick with the team and not quit. I do have a suggestion; however, maybe you could have her help out as a "junior assistant" at some of your practices for the younger team. Helping to teach some of the younger players will also help reinforce some of her skills, and possibly give her a renewed interest in the sport from a different perspective. Good Luck!
Thank you all for your replies. I have explained to her the fact that she made the committment to the team and to the sport for the season. I think her main thing is that in the division itself there are a lot of "bigger" players. Last week she actually had a great game and i know she felt great about it. no goal (on her mind not mine) yet but she is a great defensive player that really hustled during that game. Then she goes to practice again and says she doesnt like it again. I really think its about scoring in her mind. Well for now we will just keep trying to keep up moral and tell her she is doing a great job. thanks for the comments they all made so much sense.

Snow, mountain lion, and courage
trail cameras.
This morning, K and I headed out for our ride, with me on my snow bike for the first time in more than a week. I had switched over to my summer bike last week.
On our descent, we stopped in a spot where I photographed K yesterday. Here she was yesterday, looking coppery in the green clearing. Both of us were a little hot in the sun yesterday.

Looking at K in these wonderful pictures, you'd never know she is battling anything let alone osteosarcoma! She still seems so strong and perfectly content in her surroundings. She is so graceful and happy, how can she not be; after all she is doing what she loves everyday with the one she loves by her side! I just showed my husband the pictures you captured of the mountain lion and like me he is in awe!

Snow in April in the mountains is nothing too unusual, we get it here. Though I don't think it's likely this year unless the weather totally changes. There's plenty of the stuff at the higher altitudes though; I'm at about 5800 feet so not all that high.
K looks lovely no matter the surroundings. And so happy! Few animals can look happier than a happy dog. :)
That is a beautiful cat! I hope you see more of him so that we can as well.

It's hard to pic a favorite photo but we like the 5th on with K's looking straight on to the camera and you with her happy face and playful eyes.
I looked up inspiration and know what I saw? A picture of K.

Mother Nature is so fickle! I love the last two shots of her in the green forest and the snowy forest. That's pretty cool!
Despite the snow, it seems like things are really waking up in your corner of the world with bears and mountain lions returning. Hopefully they didn't arrive too early and this was just a brief passing through of snow!
K looks beautiful and happy in every shot!

The weather here in the U.K. is very strange at the moment, going from one extreme to the other.
What a fabulous shot of the mountain lion. I love the photo of K romping through the snow. She is looking at you telling you she is having so much fun.
Take care.
Love from Eileen and Annie xx

K is such an amazing girl . . .I hope she continues along this merry way for a long time.
The Collar on the Mountain Lion looks way too snug to me. Do the people who attach them ever look at them again? When they catch a meal, can they tear it up like they might want to or do they wind up eating differently. I hate those collars!

K always reminds me of a lion - especially in the picture of her lying down in the "Springtime and Tomorrow" post. She certainly has the heart of one!

I hate to start out by saying "I'm sorry" BUT, truly I am sorry for having been absentee in your beautiful part of the world lately. I've had time to take a peek here and there but never enough time to compose a comment. Work has been busy and home life with aging parents and their needs has taken precedence over blog time. This is my life, and just like you - it's not always what we'd like it to be, but it is what it is and we have to pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and keep putting one foot in front of the other. On that note, I am truly sorry that the report you got on K's tumors was not a good one. I'm sure that was a gut-wrenching news. I think I speak for all of your blog friends when I say we understand, because you are not the only one holding out for that miracle.
It would be IMPOSSIBLE to make comments about all the great pics you've had the last week or so but several pop out in my mind that need mentioned. First off - K in your hat! Who can resist doing that? At least she left it there long enough to get a pic - Ches either tries to bite it or swat it with his paw before I can even get the camera on him.
The bear and his whammy tree! I never heard of that and the pics were awesome of him marking his tree - especially the one where he almost fell over. Made me LOL!
The top of the world pic overlooking the desert is breathtaking and the picture almost makes me dizzy - I can't imagine actually standing there. What a feeling of "smallness" that must be to sit there and look down. God has blessed us with such natural wonders! Thanks for sharing your piece of paradise with us.
The bobcats, coyotes and hawk are wonderful pics too. Of course, I enjoy watching K and R romp and frolic in your wonderland. I love coming here to visit, your pics always bring a sense of wonder and peace to my busy brain. Thank-you!

Look at your K doing her thing! You show your courage as stick with her, fighting each day to live to the fullest.
I had a day last week when (for no good reason) the world felt like it was coming to an end. Just as I decided to skip our trail time, I thought of you and K, your example to always carpe diem, and I got my tush and Kona Dog out the door. Out on the trail we ran into a bobcat =)

Well, somebody has to be on the extreme end of the bell curve and I keep hoping that K is at the far end with the best case scenario. Loved every one of the photographs.
