PARKERSBURG - One of the senior catalysts in Parkersburg South's push to a state volleyball tournament berth this fall for the first time since 2007 has signed to play the sport in college for NCAA Division II Ohio Valley University.
Not only did Alexis Leach, a defensive specialist as the Patriots' libero the last two years, cap her senior season with the state tourney appearance, but also her selection as the Two Rivers Athletic Conference 2012 Player of the Year in volleyball and first-team all-conference choice.
Leach, a four-year player for South head coach Becky Bennett, also played basketball at South and is thinking about running track in the spring.
Leach, the daughter of South athletic director Rick Leach and his wife Lisa, said OVU head volleyball coach Paul Jacoby was ''looking to strengthen his team's defense and thought that Megan Morrison (another Fighting Scots' recruit) from PHS and I could help do that.''
Jacoby too was interested in Leach as a defender because she has experience, ''having played back row since the seventh grade. So that's my home on the court.''
She chose OVU since ''they gave me the opportunity to play volleyball, the good Christian environment at the school was a big plus for me and it's close to home, so I'll get to see a lot of my mom and dad, too.''
At South, Leach was on Patriot volleyball teams that reached the regionals her first three years, but never got to the state until this past season, when she was one of the Bennett's captains.
Leach plans to major in secondary education at OVU with her basis in social studies, looking to become a high school teacher. But she wants to double-major as well in business with her basis in marketing.
''And being able to play volleyball at OVU too gives me an great opportunity to keep my career going,'' she said.
Bennett thinks ''OVU is getting a great player, a great person. Alexis has a great attitude and a great work ethic, always willing to do whatever you need her to do. She works well with the younger kids, and always listens.''
Part of Bennett's first-ever freshman class coming in, Leach ''has just gotten progressively better and better each year,'' said the coach.

Own This Body By Reese Gabriel
Raven is on the run. Betrayed by her domineering business partner, and hunted down by a ruthless mobster who wants her as a sexual submissive in his underground club, this lovely young submissive has only one place to turn: handsome and sadistic federal agent Johnny Reynolds. Sexy Raven begs for mercy, but soon finds herself in bondage as Reynolds and other members of the mysterious NBI employ punishment and sexual coercion to enlist her support. Scantily clad, and well used, the dark haired siren is sent as bait directly into the gangster's lair. The evil Silvio is not fooled and promptly takes possession of the girl's all too willing body. Things go from bad to worse as Raven finds herself illegally detained at a prison camp and put in solitary confinement for some delicious and excruciating submissive training. Reynolds rescues her, only to put her up for auction. Who will her new master be? Will she fall prey to yet another stranger or is someone lurking in the wings, a man she's known all along but never imagined would want her too? Contains tantalizing accounts of female humiliation, degradation and use, including bondage, caning, whipping, coerced sex, oral and anal, golden showers, mental domination, and submissive training.

PORTSMOUTH — Margaritas Mexican Restaurants in Portsmouth and Exeter will help raise funds for the Hurricane Sandy relief effort. All Margaritas restaurants in New England on Thursday, Nov. 29, will host a "Noche Mexicana" fund-raiser, donating 15 percent of participating guest checks to the Breezy Point Disaster Relief Fund. Margaritas created the Noche Mexicana event to support community organizations and raise money for area causes. "This opportunity seemed like the perfect time to show our unity and come together for a larger community in need," said company President Hugo Marin. In the wake of Hurricane Sandy's devastation, many residents of Breezy Point and other surrounding neighborhoods in Brooklyn, N.Y., needed relief funds and housing. Margaritas is estimating $7,000 to $10,000 will be donated through Noche Mexicana in one day to help residents in need. For information, visit www.margs.com.

Europe Slowly Waking Up to Its Energy Security
Here's your morning jolt of news, insight and analysis on the global energy business. Send us tips, suggestions and complaints: email@example.com

If you read one thing today, make it The Wall Street Journal's 5 reasons U.S. gas is no quick fix for Europe. It is a useful counter to some of the bullish "energy superpower" noises coming from America and the hopeful pleading from Europe.
U.S. energy companies, likely to put profit before international relations, have already begun haggling over the price they want for gas.
Want more? Try Kurt Cobb. Or try Derek Brower, who posits that the solution to Europe's energy security problem lies in—or, more accurately, underneath— Europe.
Poland was at the forefront of an early euro-shale push, but progress stalled to such an extent that companies including Exxon Mobil Corp. and Marathon Oil Corp. upped sticks and quit. Now Warsaw, wary of its reliance on Russia for its gas, aware of the febrile situation in Ukraine and with a weather eye on its eastern border, is promising tax breaks to encourage faster drilling.
The country's leader, Donald Tusk, is urging some communal energy buying and redistribution. From each according to his ability, to each according to his need, as someone once said. Mr. Tusk's Utopian vision may be out of reach of the EU, which doesn't have a great track record of agreeing things, let alone doing things quickly.
To say Libya is falling apart is to understate things. A bunch of loosely aligned states held together by one man's force of will (and willing use of force) was "liberated" by NATO air power and left to fend for itself.
The country's first democratically elected leader has now gone, forced from office by his inability to control the various factions that control the different parts of the country.
The straw that broke the camel's back for the political career of Ali Zeidan has been what appears to be an utter fiasco involving a North Korean oil tanker that was trying to load crude from a pro-autonomy militia in the country's east.
Depending on your favored news source, the tanker loaded, didn't load, is surrounded, escaped or is on fire.
On the other side of the country, the giant Sharara oil field is operating again after the latest in a succession of blockades. How long it manages to stay that way is anyone's guess.
Three years after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident, the Journal's Mari Iwata ponders whether the country is prepared for another meltdown. The government plans to restart nuclear reactors, in part to reduce the overbearing cost of importing alternatives such as liquefied natural gas (Europeans, take note).
Japan's conflicted relationship with nuclear power showed itself at the memorial marking the anniversary of the disaster. Leading lawmaker Bunmei Ibuki veered from the script and made a thinly disguised barb at the proposed return to atomic energy.
"It seems as if we have reaped the benefits of electricity…while letting the people of Fukushima bear the cost," Mr. Ibuki said.
Crude oil prices have dipped, especially in the U.S. You can read the Journal's latest oil-markets report here.

A few weeks ago, on a Friday evening I met a really cool lady named Christina (I apologize if that is incorrect. I was celebrating a coworkers birthday and I may have been slightly inebriated). She came up to talk to me about my blog/Arthur and I showed her the picture below. She suggested that I share it on my blog.
Arthur got this sweater for Christmas but Mr. Pudgy Pants put on too much turkey weight. He's now shedding his winter weight so this is the first time he's been able to fit in this sweater. Live long and Arthur.

The US Lacrosse National Convention, presented by Champion, is the largest professional development event in the world for lacrosse coaches, officials and administrators, annually drawing upwards of 5,000 participants. The event returns to Philadelphia Jan. 11-13, 2013, and tickets are on sale here for just $105 through Jan. 2 (a savings of 30 percent vs. the walk-up price).
Dick Vermeil's cozy, wooden house among the hills of Chester County, Pa., oozes with the warmth of a ski lodge; an inviting respite from dreary weather and the winding, single-lane roads needed to get there.
In the basement, the man-cave of all man-caves, snapshots of a football coaching career that spanned five decades and reached the pinnacle twice in Super Bowls XV and XXXIV fight for space on the walls.
But to Vermeil, now 76 and an avid outdoorsman and wine connoisseur, the photos, magazine covers and trophies carry a more intangible significance.
"My rewards are all much greater than the things you see around here," he said. "These are symbols of what people can do working together for all the right reasons."
Vermeil transformed the Philadelphia Eagles from cellar dwellers to NFC champions in the late 1970s and early '80s, and he'll return to the City of Brotherly Love Jan. 11, 2013, as the keynote speaker of the US Lacrosse National Convention, presented by Champion. He spent some time with LM in advance of his return to Philly.
How did you help under-the-radar players like Vince
Papale, Herm Edwards, Kurt Warner and Dante Hall maximize their
I always felt the only way you could help a player maximize his talent, whether he was a first-round pick or a free agent, was to stay on the field for a long time and give them all the opportunities. We felt we weren't demanding, but that we were investing and helping that player be the best he could be, from the third-stringer on. You never know when your third-stringer is going to be your first-stringer.
You displayed passion and emotion in postgame press
conferences. How did that help you connect with your
As a coach, the No. 1 thing you have to be is yourself. I'm an emotional guy and a very intense guy. You talk about inspiration — as much as anybody, my players inspired me. I felt a real deep obligation to help them be the best they could possibly be. In so doing, you get really close to them and care about them. When it goes real well, you're excited and emotional about it. When it goes real bad, you're disappointed and emotional about it. That's my profile. And I used to embarrass myself from time to time, but pretty quickly I said, "You know, that's me. And I'm not going to worry about that anymore."
Any tips for coaches at the youth or high school level
to recognize potential in young people?
Remember that you are coaching a person, then a game. [Players] are playing because they love the game. Help them be the best player they can be by recognizing that they don't have to be there. Build an atmosphere in which they really enjoy competing.
The lacrosse community prides itself on relationships.
Dave Klemic, one of your former players, said that's important to
you as well. Why?
To be a good coach, the people you are coaching have to know you care. Starting all the way back when I was coaching high school, my wife and I have probably fed 90 percent of all the players we've ever coached and all the coaches we've ever worked with at our house. We really enjoyed it, because it gave us an opportunity to sit around the dinner table and talk with the kids about things you wouldn't talk about on a football field, or in a meeting room, or in my office. You hear things that help you gain insight into that person.
Between the Eagles and the Rams, you were a sportscaster
for 14 years. Why step away from coaching?
I made the mistake, during my career with the Eagles, of allowing a passion to become an obsession. I just couldn't turn it off. I would lose a game on Sunday, and be thinking all week long what I should've done to win last Sunday's game, but yet I have another game to prepare for coming up this Sunday. It became a vicious circle for me. The only way I could prevent myself from snowballing downhill was to take a break.
How did you get involved in the wine
I was born and raised in Calistoga, the north end of Napa Valley. Wine country. My great-grandfather made all the Vermeil wines himself, a Frenchman. As young boys, my brother and I would help him some — change the barrels. I didn't know what I was doing but I didn't have to know. So I developed an interest. In 1999, we started making about 150 cases of wine for fun, no money involved, called Jean Louis Vermeil Cabernet. It was my great-grandfather's name and my dad's name. I wanted to put their names on a bottle of wine because they had so much passion for wine and the understanding of the values of wine, and how it should be used with the meal. When I got out of coaching, in 2008 we turned it into a full-fledged business. Now we have Vermeil Wines.
You've been to several of your grandsons' lacrosse
games. What do you think?
I'm a real big fan of lacrosse, for a lot of reasons. There's not a lot of equipment involved. You need a field, and it doesn't even have to be fancy. It's a high-effort game. You have to work. You have to be in condition. I think you've got to be careful it becomes too physical. That eliminates some of the finesse, and then the bullies win. I felt, from time to time, I saw some teams stretching the rules and getting away with it. I don't think that's good for lacrosse. I'm not a lacrosse coach, but it's a finesse game and a physical game. I don't think it's a combat game. But I'm very impressed with the game and the coaches.

Your nuddy-pants are, well, your no-pants. When you are wearing your nuddy pants you are in the nude. The background of this word is from the Georgio Nicolsen series written by Louise Rennison.
When Cj forgot to wear pants to school, Cassie told me he was wearing his nuddy pants.

|Extension of the Steele 10-4-3 Potential for Adsorption Calculations in Cylindrical, Spherical, and Other Pore Geometries
|August 25, 2011
|In this Letter we reinterpret the widely-used Steele 10-4-3 potential for a gas molecule interacting with a planar surface, and derive analogous potentials for adsorption in cylindrical and spherical pores. These new potentials correctly recover the Steele result in the limit of infinite pore radius, a useful improvement over existing models. In calculations of of argon adsorption via density functional theory the new cylindrical Steele potential gives markedly different behavior than existing potentials, due to differences in both the strength and shape of the fluid-surface interaction. The new potentials are more realistic in design and no more complex or computationally expensive to evaluate. They should therefore be preferred, especially in studies where comparison with planar substrates are made. Lastly, we discuss extension of this approach to more complicated pore geometries, yielding a family of Steele-like potentials that all satisfy the correct planar limit.

Credit where its due
SB, Your'e entitled to your opinion on AVB, but I recall one of your post's after about just six game's, that you hope he fail's so Levy can sack him, so I wonder if your personal dislike for him has anything to do with his ability. He has had to deal with a lot of key injurys, and quite a few new player's to bed into the team, and after a shaky start, has kept us up in the fight for CL place all season. Of course, we're all armchair manager's, and think we could pick a better team and be more tactically astute when results dont go our way, but as someone else has said in another post, if you look at many of the goals we have conceded that has cost us points this season, a lot of them have been down to individual errors, rather than the tactics being wrong. Sometime's the player's have to take some responsibilty, ( an example, during the Wigan game, Walker, starting in his right back possition could of passed the ball forward to I think it was Dembele, who was standing wide right, but instead decided to run across the pitch and ended up losing the ball on the left edge of their penalty area allowing Wigan to break and us short of defender's all because a player didnt keep the game simple, and retained his position ) so if we had conceded at that moment, would you say it's AVB's fault, that his tactics are all wrong?. Just a point on Moye's, IMO he has one of the easiest job's in the PL. There is no pressure on him to achieve anything season after season, which is odd considering Everton are a big club, but without the finances, apart from PL status, theres no expectations, whereas at a club like our's, I wonder if he could handle the extra pressure of being expected to achieve certain targets?. He dos'nt strike me as a manager who would suit Spur's style of play over the year's, but more a safety first type of manager who the majority of fans would not like if we lost our traditional style. Having said that, who know's?, he could be great, just as AVB could be given enough time and backing from the board and fan's alike.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
John, I presume you meant to reply to me rather than SB. I don't ever recall saying I hoped AVB would fail so that he would get sacked. In fact, I do know that I have said I hope he proves me wrong and takes us into the promised land. As for Moyes, again, I don't recall ever having much of an opinion on him. Tactics? I appreciate you cannot account for individual mistakes and errors of judgement on the field. My argument is with who he plays and where. For example, Ade on his own up front does not work for me especially when you have two wide players and no real playmaker. You can't "like" somebody that you don't rate as being good at his job. I don't like AVB and I cannot see what Freund brings to us either. Even if AVB wins the PL and CL I will still not like him. I will appreciate his skills and for taking my football club to trophies but I won't like him. I will just not dislike him quite so much!

Sfer, sorry I posted on your link, but I was commenting on SB's answer to your view on Hudds where SB say's she hope's Levy sack's AVB and get Moyes in. There was no reply option on SB's post so I clicked on your's.

Late Middle English: from Old Northern French canevas, based on Latin cannabis 'hemp', from Greek.
You can smoke cannabis (late 18th century), or, more legally, make canvas out of its fibre. The versatile cannabis plant, also known as hemp (ultimately from the same root), gives its name to the fabric, as both come from Latin cannabis. To win a race or competition by a canvas is to win it very narrowly. The canvas here is the tapered front end of a racing boat, covered with canvas to keep water out. In the early16th century the verb canvass meant 'to toss someone in a canvas sheet', as a punishment or as part of a game. Other early meanings included 'to beat' and 'to criticize severely'. This led on to the idea of discussing an issue, and then to proposing something for discussion. Finally, the word acquired the meaning 'to seek support', as in 'to canvass for votes' at an election.

Publix, Google, UPS Top CSR Index; Scores Drop Overall
Publix Super Markets, Google and UPS have taken the top spots in the Corporate Social Responsibility Index, a ranking of the 50 companies with the best corporate citizenship reputations among the U.S. public.
Rounding out the top ten were Kellogg's, Amazon, Berkshire Hathaway, FedEx, Campbell's, Baxter International and 3M.
But the index revealed an overall drop in ratings of companies' social responsibility, suggesting that the public this year is more demanding of companies. Scores dropped across the board, and this year's top score of 80.59 (out of 100) compares to 82.67 in 2010.
The Boston College Center for Corporate Citizenship, together with the Reputation Institute, developed the index to understand how companies' reputations are affected by public perceptions of performance related to citizenship (the community and the environment), governance (ethics and transparency) and workplace practices. Rankings in the 2011 CSR Index are based on a survey conducted in January 2011 of 7,790 online consumers.
Among the 286 companies measured in the 2011 CSR Index, 10 rated scores of 75 or higher, placing them in the "excellent" category, and another 57 scored 70 or more, to reach the "strong" category.
The top-ranked companies last year were Johnson & Johnson, The Walt Disney Company, Kraft Foods, Microsoft, Pepsico, Apple, Hershey's and SC Johnson. Kellogg's and Google came 9th and 10th last year, making them the only companies to make the top ten two years in a row.
BCCCC said that the top 50 companies this year (pictured) represent an elite group of brands, with less than ten points between No. 1 and No. 50.
Companies' public perception does not appear to correlate with their transparency, as measured by the Carbon Disclosure Project. Amazon and Berkshire Hathaway were both among the largest ten non-responding companies in CDP's Global 500.
The CSR Index was created using data collected for Reputation Institute's Global Pulse 2011. A Pulse score averages feelings of trust, esteem, admiration and good feeling taken from a representative sample of at least 100 respondents familiar with the company.
Reader Comments
Kudos to Kellogg's for making it 2 years in a row. I hope this commitment to social responsibility will carry over into their ingredient procurement, and they'll start using more sustainable products like cage-free eggs.
Congrats to Publix on their well deserved reward. I love shopping there and I love doing business with such a fine company. We are thrilled to have our Fruitfull® bars in all stores! They are an extremely well run company full of caring individuals. It shows!
How can a company that refuses to pay an additional penny per pound of tomatoes to help bring workers out of slave-like conditions be considered the leader in Corporate Social responsibility?

GOP May Have Advantage As Voter Participation Sinks
With voter turnout in midterm elections on track to be at a record low, a new report finds that Republicans may have an advantage come November.
Since 2010, the percentage of eligible citizens who voted Democratic has declined by nearly 30%, while the percentage who voted Republican has fallen about 14%, a report from the nonpartisan Center for the Study of the American Electorate found.

- Hedge Fund Founder Steve Cohen Gave Big to Boost Republican Governors
A string of contentious primaries this election cycle likely helped the GOP numbers, boosting turnout among tea-party insurgents who vowed to oust incumbents viewed as too liberal or out of touch with their constituents.
Overall, national turnout in the 25 states that held statewide primaries declined 18% since 2010. Nearly 15% of eligible citizens voted in those states' primaries for U.S. Senate and governor this year—down from 18% in 2010, according to the center's report.
Of those states, 15 saw turnout reach record lows this year, compared with just three states that had higher turnout this year than in 2010, the report states. The GOP base has a disproportionate number of older voters, a group that is more likely to cast ballots.
Democratic turnout, by contrast, dropped to record lows in 15 of the 25 states with statewide primaries. The GOP reached record lows in three states, but also saw record highs in four states. Among the four was Mississippi, which held one of the most contentious Republican primaries this election cycle, pitting incumbent Sen. Thad Cochran against tea-party challenger Chris McDaniel, who lost the runoff election.
Among the states that saw the lowest turnout this year were Iowa, where 9.7% of eligible voters went to the polls, as well as Ohio (11.2%), Texas (11.4%) and South Carolina (12.1%).
The report drew some worrying conclusions, most notably the potential for "narrow ideology" to dominate political parties in the absence of any unity. "Political parties in theory provide a degree of cohesion to American politics," the report stated. "That cohesion is being lost. High levels of involvement lessen the chances that both parties and politics will be dominated by narrow ideology and interest. Low levels make that result probable."
Democrats say turnout is their top priority this cycle, and a spokesman for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee said it has launched "the most aggressive national field effort ever." Given the relative lack of close Democratic primaries, turnout might not be a reliable gauge of participation this fall when many incumbent Democrats will face tough re-election bids.
The report also offered some recommendations, highlighting the whopping 61 million Americans who are eligible to vote but are not registered. Creating a biometric national identification system would allow those 61 million to vote and get rid of the potential for fraud, the report argues.

Idaho Rules of Civil Procedure Rule 23(b). Class Actions Maintainable.
An action may be maintained as a class action if the prerequisites of subdivision (a) are satisfied, and in addition:
(1) the prosecution of separate actions by or against individual members of the class would create a risk of
(A) inconsistent or varying adjudications with respect to individual members of the class which would establish incompatible standards of conduct for the party opposing the class, or
(B) adjudications with respect to individual members of the class which would as a practical matter be dispositive of the interests of the other members not parties to the adjudications or substantially impair or impede their ability to protect their interests; or
(2) the party opposing the class has acted or refused to act on grounds generally applicable to the class, thereby making appropriate final injunctive relief or corresponding declaratory relief with respect to the class as a whole; or
(3) the court finds that the questions of law or fact common to the members of the class predominate over any questions affecting only individual members, and that a class action is superior to other available methods for the fair and efficient adjudication of the controversy. The matters pertinent to the findings include:
(A) the interest of members of the class in individually controlling the prosecution or defense of separate actions;
(B) the extent and nature of any litigation concerning the controversy already commenced by or against members of the class;
(C) the desirability or undesirability of concentrating the litigation of the claims in the particular forum;
(D) the difficulties likely to be encountered in the management of a class action.

Team New Jersey's Beach House Approaches Sustainable Design from Different Angle
When it comes to picturing a beach house, you typically picture large windows to let in fresh air and sunlight or wide porches to connect the home to the outdoors. What probably doesn't come to mind is a home primarily made of precast concrete. However, U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon 2011's Team New Jersey is doing exactly that—incorporating the age-old technology of concrete into their beach house design. The team hopes to show others how a material often seen as cold or industrial can be used for residential applications.
The New Jersey Solar Decathlon team is a collaboration between two universities, Rutgers and the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). "Rutgers is taking care of the engineering side of things and we're doing architecture. We're learning together how the whole process pans out," said NJIT student and project architect, Jordan Tait.
New Jersey is the first team in the Solar Decathlon competition to use precast concrete panels as their primary construction material. What is the reason? Jordan explains that several factors make concrete an ideal choice. For one, the panels are super insulated—comprised of insulation sandwiched between 3 and 4 inches of poured concrete on either side. See Energy Blog post.

Study of Irving ISD black fifth-graders finds racial tension with Hispanic peers
A study of black fifth-graders in Irving ISD performed by a consultant hired by the district concludes that a "toxic relationship" exists between black and Hispanic students.
About 12 percent of Irving ISD students are black and 71 percent are Latino.
One of the key reasons for that tension cited by students was that they felt lonely and alienated from their Hispanic peers. They frequently mentioned that their classmates speak Spanish in front of them in social settings, which they don't understand.
The district has paid consultant Mack Hines about $100,450 over the past two years to performing a previous study on black students and lead teacher training on teaching black students.
One of the hot button issues in the study is Hines' use of the term "race war" in this study to describe the racial tensions. Activist Anthony Bond challenged that as highly offensive and untrue.
In a separate matter–do you think language causes significant tensions in the district? Local civic leader Rene Castilla told me that kids often unconsciously use Spanish, but they should be educated on manners to avoid offending their classmates.
Any thoughts?

EU failing to tackle discrimination against Roma people
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Communities and also in Legal
roma peopleImage: via Shutterstock
The European Union is not doing enough to end discrimination against Roma people, Amnesty International said today.
The estimated six million Roma living in EU countries fall far below the national average on almost all human development indicators, according to a new briefing on discrimination from Amnesty.
The human rights group says Roma are disproportionately at risk of poverty, eviction and violent attack. Education levels are also far below average - only one out of seven young Roma adults has completed upper-secondary education.
Roma receive segregated education in the Czech Republic, Greece and Slovakia, a practice at odds with both national and EU laws prohibiting racial discrimination.
Forced evictions of Roma communities is regular practice in a range of European countries such as Romania, Italy, and France. Policies promoting or resulting in ethnic segregation of Romani communities have been also pursued.
More than 120 serious violent attacks against Roma occurred in Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Bulgaria between January 2008 and July 2012, including shootings, stabbings and arson attacks.
Reportedly, state authorities, including the police, have in many instances failed to prevent or thoroughly investigate these attacks.
In Hungary, according to the European Roma Rights Centre, nine Roma, including two children, were killed as a result of racially motivated attacks between 2008 and 2012.
József H, the father of a Romani boy stabbed to death in Fényeslitke, Hungary, in 2008, told Amnesty: "everyone is afraid. No matter what harsh things happen to you, you don't dare tell, because you are scared."
Amnesty's briefing - 'Human rights here. Roma rights now. A wake-up call for the European Union' - insists that the EU take decisive action to tackle discrimination against Roma in Europe.
Amnesty's Europe and Central Asia Programme Director, John Dalhuisen, said: "The EU must implement immediately the considerable measures at its disposal to sanction governments that are failing to tackle discrimination and violence against Roma. Such practices run counter to EU law and the principles of liberty, democracy and respect for human rights it was founded on.
"The European Commission has the powers to make a lasting impact on the lives of marginalised and discriminated communities in Europe.
"What we see is the Commission sanctioning countries on technical issues in areas of transport and taxation, for example, but failing to grapple with issues which are of vital importance to millions of people, such as forced evictions, segregation and hate-motivated attacks.
"The Nobel Peace Prize winning EU has the power to end discriminatory practices that are rife in many of its member States. It must use these now."

In 79 patients with essential hypertension, treatment with propranolol hydrochloride and chlorthalidone together produced significantly greater falls in both systolic and diastolic blood pressures than were obtained with either drug alone. There were no differences between patients in the high, normal, and low renin subgroups in their responsiveness to this combination. Although plasma renin level during combined treatment was twice as high as it was in the untreated control, aldosterone excretion actually decreased. These divergent changes may have been influenced by the renin-raising and aldosterone-lowering effects of the marked hypokalemia observed during combined treatment. By comparison with patients whose blood pressures fell, treatment in nonresponding patients produced even greater body weight reductions and significantly higher renin and aldosterone values. It is possible that increased activity of the renin axis, triggered by excessive volume depletion and perhaps by changes in potassium balance, were responsible for sustaining the high levels of blood pressure in those patients failing to respond to treatment.

Maria Sharapova takes on Eugenie Bouchard at Roland Garros on Thursday for a place in French Open final.
And despite the fact that they are just 27 and 20 years old respectively, the match will be played an astonishing 12 years after they first came face-to-face.
Bouchard was an eager eight-year-old autograph hunter back in 2002, and pounced upon the 15-year-old Sharapova as she played in her very first professional tournament.
Sharapova was already tipped for the top, even though her breakthrough victory at Wimbledon was still two years away.
But she showed the grace and charm that have won her millions of fans as she happily smiled for a photo with Bouchard - a photo that has now been shared online as the Canadian earned a spot in a Grand Slam semi-final for the first time.

The picture has quickly gone viral on the internet, with Bouchard herself sharing it via Twitter alongside a picture of her and Sharapova taken a few months ago:
#throwbackthursday @MariaSharapova and I. 2002 & 2013. :) pic.twitter.com/weSYglN6VT — Eugenie Bouchard (@geniebouchard) March 8, 2013
It's not the first time the pair have met on the court - nor indeed their first meeting at Roland Garros. And for the record, Sharapova beat Bouchard in both their previous encounters, which came last year at WTA Miami (6-2 6-0) and the French Open (6-2 6-4).
Those results make Sharapova the favourite - but a meeting in a Grand Slam semi-final is a very different thing to an early-round encounter... particularly given Bouchard's emergence as a force in the women's game over the past 12 months.
And who knows? If she wins, perhaps someone will ask Bouchard if her eight-year-old self ever thought - even for a fraction of a second - that she would be taking on the willowy Russian a dozen years later in one of the sport's finest arenas.

Prior to the enlightenment, Some Jews lived in self-contained communities under rabbinical control. Israel Shahak (an Israeli scholar) stated "Prior to the creation of modern Israel, observance of religious law was the most important social reality in the lives of Jews" The religion governed all aspects of the lives of Jews.
The Lurianic Kabbalah dominated Judaism from the 16th to the early 19th century. As with most religions it proposed the absolute superiority of its own soul and body to the non in-group soul and body. But the enlightenment began to impact on the absolute rabbinical dictatorship and undermine it.
As the tenets of Orthodox Judaism came under pressure, the Rabbis feared cultural collapse so they began to look around for an idea to keep secularism at bay.
In 1861 Zvi Hirsch Kalischer published "Quest for Zion" which advocated reclaiming the holy land without waiting for the Messiah. This idea quickly gained traction, albeit it became a nationalist movement to boot. Ironically many of the native Palestinian Jews (who had lived with the Arabs for centuries) opposed this new European movement, realising that a large influx of European Jews would be horribly destabilising. Some local Jews were actually assassinated by local militias for opposing Zionism.
Now it is true that many Jews bought land in the region. Sadly this does not give anyone the right to form their own country (otherwise my house would be the anarchic republic of SAoT).
Now we come to Theodor Herzl, the father of modern political Zionism. He was highly critical of assimilated Jews who refused to commit to the idea and move to Palestine. Many of the early emigrees were poor Jews from Eastern Europe, far fewer were from Western Europe. The increasing immigration began to cause problems. These problems were exacerbated by racist crackpots like the chief Rabbi of Palestine between 1920 and 1935 Abraham Kook who said "The difference between a Jewish soul and the soul of non-Jews…is greater and deeper than the difference between a human soul and the souls of cattle" There are a number of fundamentalist Jews in Israel today. As recently as 2009 an Israeli Rabbi published Kings Torah, a manual which provided religious justifications for killing non-Jews. The book states "the justification for killing babies is clear, if they will grow up to harm us" The Talmudic encyclopaedia states that if a Jew has coitus with a non Jewish female, even if she is a child of three, she must be killed. This is mind-blowing stuff. Muslim fundamentalism is known and rightly condemned. Jewish religious lunacy is largely unknown outside Israel.
In 1895 Herzl wrote "we shall endeavour to expel the poor population across the border"
In 1916 the UK was in trouble in the war with the central powers. They needed Jewish money and influence to get the US into the war. On November 2nd 1917, the Balfour declaration set in motion events that would lead to the creation of modern Israel. As early as 1919 the King-Crane commission recognised that Zionists wanted complete dispossession of the non-Jewish residents of Palestine, (then around 90% of the entire population). Rioting started in 1920. In 1936 Arabs protesting against unrestrained immigration to Palestine by Jews were threatened with martial law by the British. A three year revolt was ultimately crushed by the British army. It is thought that around 5,000 Arabs were killed during this time.
Despite being only 30% of the population in 1947, the creation of Israel gave the Jews 56% of the territory (while owning only 6% of the land at the time).
In December 1947 Plan Dalet was implemented, as the Jewish army began to attack Arab settlements. The massacre at Deir Yassin is particularly vile. Around 500 villages were burned. Since 1946 Palestine has lost 75% of its territory. Funny how no-one ever talks about this when they talk about the 1948 Arab attack.
And here are the modern day results, but hey, this is what civilisation brings you, after all they make Intel chips and are given F-16's by the Americans. And it's all the fault of Hamas anyway right?
If you defend this slaughter, you are truly a monster. Is it the road to peace?
