Jamming of Arabsat coming from Ethiopia - Minister
Preliminary investigations into the jamming of Arabsat satellite transmission shows that it is originating from Ethiopia, Telecommunications Minister Nicolas Sehnaoui said Wednesday, calling on Arabsat's operator to secure new frequencies for its transmission in Lebanon.
"Arabsat told us that the source of the jamming is Ethiopia and it handed us a copy of their complaint they have passed to Ethiopian authorities on this matter," said Sehnaoui.
Speaking to reporters during a visit to a local satellite station in Mount Lebanon's Jouret al-Balout, Sehnaoui said that the political atmosphere in the region is likely to be behind the jamming of certain satellite operators.
"The political atmosphere in the region could push some countries to take such a step and start jamming on some operators," Sehnaoui said.
Several Lebanese channels and the Qatar-based Al-Jazeera have been jammed in the past year, and the frequencies of Arabsat and Nilesat network providers have been jammed since the pro-democracy uprisings and ensuing unrest in Libya and Egypt.

Ethiopia is violating Lebanon and Qatar air space? That can only come if Israel gave the land to jam. This is war.
Woyane is peeing in its pants these days
One of the Woyanes official was overheard through the grape vine saying unless we control the media, it's possible to have a same faith like Egypt gov't.
That's why they are jamming the radio broadcasts, Woyane knows if everyone comes out whole hartedly uprise in Addis Ababa just like the 1974, how royal family was removed let along this rubbish woyanes
Dictators want to brain-wash the people and leave them with no choice but to listen to their boring propaganda & lie always. To cover and hide their crimes from the eyes & ears of the people they resorted to spending in millions on jamming….
Aka Berket who is responsible for communication affairs, is one of the rugged and crude official in charge. Let alone his lie and fabrication, even looking his vilely face is a serious torture and we poor Ethiopians has been subjected to this for decades….
I don't Ethiopian Autority have any kind of capablity to jam any Arab station it has to be the State of fear of all man kind. you all know who is that the juce.
No money to feed the poor. but when in it comes to wars and jamming all the Satellites of the world, we have money to spare. Sad
Gragn Ahmed [Visitor]
I don't care if Lebanon and Qatar are visiting your fag behind but, I care your nonsense about Israel. Stop it stupid wanna be Arab.
dedeboch from dedebit are scared
Very strange,
Meles is paying to jam media by using the money which he has collected from tax payers and donners.
Unbelievable !
Everybody has to fight for his freedom and God given right to live as a human being.
ehmmmm who is really peeing? The valiant Weyane or you and the other terrorist parking lot kings?
We will see.
Long live Weyane
Long live EPRDF
Long live Ethiopia and its people.
I am with the governments on this one, after seeing what Aljazeera did to Libya, Egypt, Syria and Yemen promoting unrest and distraction on top of that backing radical Islam to power, then i will say well done to Ethiopian governmnets. the last thing what Ethiopian's wants at this moment is unrest and distraction.
Propaganda Minister … for various very obvious reasons Germany has stopped having that since Goebbels … Ato Simon Bereket is very much likely someone who can really still be called a Propagnada Minister….
Gragn ahemed: so what?
Lebanon is the country which crashed our jet, the cause is the establishement of
their relations with Shaebia. Especially you must be out of this this site, you are terrorist person in nature and as an individuial.
TPLF, becareful, Cockroaches. We don't let you to do anything harmful, like what you are doing against peaceful Ethiopians, since the last Twenty plus Years.
When it comes to Arab, we will make you to pee in your pants and we will wiped you out, from wherever you are. No one can save you.
At the past, we heard what you told for Egyptian President with fear behind closed doors. You told him, "we are going to give you some land from Amhara", Mubarak refused. Then, you told him, "Tigray is against Amhara. We are going to divert the Abbay Water into tigray and Egypt can not be affected by the amount of water". No conclusion done yet. TPLF did all these with fear of Egypt. During the discussion, Meles already changed Three wet pants. That has been in French and Arab Media comedies for fun for long time, until now. Believe me, it was real he pee.
We already slaved most of Meles people in Arab Country. What else he want.
I hope my Woyane will jammning also the Washngoten base Sat Amara.It is just the beging and I wish even our gvt will hang all oppositin.
We have control on econom and no one Amara or Oromom will take the power from us.The power is belong to TIgria

The Indianapolis community will join IMPD, family and other friends at a viewing for a murdered veteran police woman beginning Tuesday afternoon. Slain IMPD officer Kimbeerlee Carmack's viewing starts at 2 p.m. and runs until 8 p.m. at the Crown Hill Funeral Home in the 700 block of West 38th Street. As the celebration of her life and her 20 years on the force begin, we now know some of the details of her domestic troubles. Marion County Prosecutor Terry Curry said felony stalking charges were going to be filed against Carmack's ex-husband Sergeant Ryan Anders. Anders shot and killed her, then took his own life. Curry says his team was tying up some loose ends last Thursday when Anders broke into Carmack's house and ended her life. Why Carmack was in the home and how Anders knew she was there remains a mystery, according to Curry. He said Carmack was moved to a safe house in March.

Editor's note: This is the next part of a months-long series planned for this year about the job situation in the Muskegon area and the people who continue to look for work.
MUSKEGON, MI – Manufacturing is just one part of the Muskegon area's economy – but it's an important part. It's important to look at why manufacturing still matters, because the case could be made that other sectors, like the medical industry, are also important.
Jason Palmer, an analyst with the Michigan Bureau of Labor Market Information and Strategic Initiatives, said that Muskegon's health care jobs could benefit from the development of Grand Rapids' Medical Mile, as health care in the region is seen as competitive with what other areas have to offer.
There's also been a new focus on developing Muskegon's "green" or "blue" economies – creating jobs from tourism and businesses that use natural resources on the Lakeshore.
However, manufacturing is still an important part of Muskegon's economy.
Here are some reasons why manufacturing still matters:
1 – It still represents a big chunk of Muskegon's jobs. Depending who you ask, the percentage of jobs in the Muskegon Metro Area that are in manufacturing, ranges from 19 to 21.5 percent. According to one survey, by the Michigan Bureau of Labor Market Information and Strategic Initiatives, about 12,700 of Muskegon's 59,200 jobs were in manufacturing during 2012.
2 – It brings money into the area. Manufacturing and goods-producing jobs add to an area's economy because product is being exported out of a community, with dollars coming in from other areas where the product is sold. The economic phenomenon is well-documented: Manufacturing adds to economies. Even firms that aren't locally owned help by bringing in money from sales abroad and using it to pay local salaries.
3 – It creates other jobs. Money brought into a community by manufacturing trickles down to create jobs in other sectors as manufacturing employees spend their money locally on goods and services. Again, the phenomenon, called a multiplier effect, has been documented well by economists: In Michigan, every new manufacturing job seems to create two and a half others, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
4– Historically, it's a means of middle-class living. Manufacturing jobs have been, and for many continues to be, a way to support a household.
Working on a production line has never been a high-flying professional career, but historically it's been a step up from hoeing in a field or flipping burgers at a restaurant. They still, on the most part, tend to be good-paying jobs.
"Manufacturing jobs still tend to pay a little higher than, say, a retail job," said Ed Garner, President and CEO of the economic development group Muskegon Area First.

MARTINSBURG - The resignation announcement of 85-year-old Pope Benedict XVI resounded with Roman Catholics worldwide Monday. In a common wave of reaction, Eastern Panhandle clergy members too were surprised by Benedict's decision to bow out, becoming the first pontiff to do so in six centuries.
"This is the first abdication since 1415, so it's not the kind of thing that happens all the time," said the Rev. R. Eric Hall of St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church in Martinsburg.
Benedict's decision to step down was based on his age and infirmity.

Pope Benedict XVI greets the crowd from the central balcony of St. Peter's Basilica moments after being elected, at the Vatican. On Monday, Benedict XVI announced he would resign Feb. 28, the first pontiff to do so in nearly 600 years.
The icon of Pope Benedict XVI is lit inside the St. Paul outside the Walls Basilica in Rome, Monday.
"I saw one interesting quote earlier," Hall said, citing a Catholic Sister's comparison of Benedict with Pope John Paul II, stating the latter exemplified the dignity of suffering while the former now exemplifies the beauty of humility.
Benedict was elected in 2005 after the death of his predecessor.
"I was surprised, but I think it's also courageous," said the Rev. T Mathew Rowgh, of St. Agnes Catholic Church, in Shepherdstown. "This hasn't happened for centuries. For him to recognize his limited ability and to step aside, I really do, I think it's a good move."
Benedict's resignation will be effective Feb. 28 at 8 p.m. The Vatican has said a new pope will be appointed before next month's end - specifically prior to Easter Sunday on March 31.
The pope's advance notice of resignation gives the Cardinals, who will subsequently hold a conclave to elect a new leader for the world's more than one billion Catholics, a chance to plan, Hall said.
"... Instead of Holy Smokes the pope just died, I need to grab a plane ticket," he said.
Senior Pastor Fr. Brian Shoda, of St. Leo the Great Catholic Church in Inwood, said Benedict's predecessor set a paramount example by seeing his papacy through to the end of his life, erstwhile traveling the word.
"You can't just stay in the Vatican," Shoda said.
"Personally I applaud the decision," he said. "I think it sets a good precedent that when you're not feeling well and you're not up to it ..."
Looking forward, both Hall and Rowgh found optimism in the pope's otherwise unconventional resignation.
"I think it's hopeful to the church that we might have some new insight and prescriptive on issues," Rowgh said.
Issues clouding Benedict's eight-year papacy included the church's ongoing sexual abuse crisis and financial scandals.
"Not that I'm glad he's stepping down, but I'm hopeful of something new, something different," Hall said.
Following Benedict's last day, the world will wait for the white smoke to pour out of the Vatican's chimney, signaling a new pontiff has been elected.
"There seems to be quite a few Italian Cardinals, so there's a chance it could be an Italian," Rowgh said the potential appointment. "I don't know that any of our American Cardinals are up to the task or would be selected."
There has never been an American pope.
"I think it would be nice to have somebody from a third-world country, but who knows," Rowgh said.
Shoda had one specific prediction about who the next pope won't be.
"It won't be me. Believe me, it won't be me," he laughed.

What are you most proud of? Persevering to get it exactly right. It was very long through the armhole and I had a bit of a side-boob issue but I was very patient and carefully eased the armhole in and stitched some silk organza selvage strips on for stay tape and it fits beautifully through the armhole now.
What advice would you give someone starting this project? Check the fit with a toile first because the armhole is abnormally long. Even though the pattern is rated easy it really isn't, I'd say it's average. It's worth putting in the effort to get it right because it's a stunning dress, it's extremely flattering.
i love that dress, I have that pattern too! it has been sitting in my pattern drawer waiting to be made, thank you for the armhole tip. You have done a great job and the silk drapes really nice :)
Thank you. It is a really great dress, well worth making. I hope you have a good result too when you make it :)

: Monday, October 7, 2013 from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m.
The Scotch Plains and Mountainside Public Libraries' Career Networking Group presents: "Are you working for free? Don't be taken advantage of: Become a smart job seeker and learn your rights" on Monday Oct. 7 from 6:30-8:30 p.m.
The plot of the The Internship, a recent comedy film starring Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson, centers on the two middle-age men being laid off from their jobs as watch salesmen when their employer goes out of business. They apply for an internship at Google, then spend the summer competing against other interns for coveted jobs. Sound familiar?
Our challenging job market has inspired a spike in so-called adult internships and other unpaid volunteer positions. Should employers pay you for your time? What are your rights under New Jersey's employment law? How do you protect your interests and add relevant experience to your resume?
Employment lawyer Fred Shahrooz Scampato has been practicing law since 1991. He is currently involved in numerous civil litigations including several complex employment law cases against governmental agencies and Fortune 500 companies. Fred is the author of several law articles on criminal law and employment discrimination in the work place,( njlaborlaw.com.) He is an active lecturer and an adjunct professor of business law at Fairleigh Dickinson University.
Fred will explain the latest court rulings on internships and review other important considerations for job hunters, such as employment contracts, noncompete clauses, signing bonuses and intellectual property ownership.
Connect with the libraries' Career Networking Group on Linked In, Career Networking Group at SPPL.
RSVP to the Mountainside Library at 908-233-0115. The Mountainside Library is located at 1 Constitution Plaza, Mountainside. This program is free and open to the public.

With southpaw Darin Gorski starting for Binghamton, every batter in the Curve's starting lineup was either right-handed or a switch hitter. But in crunch time, it was their lefties who delivered.
The Curve entered the All-Star break on a winning note as Brock Holt's single in the ninth inning lifted the team to a 3-2 victory against the B-Mets before 4,201 fans at Peoples Natural Gas Field on Monday afternoon.
Holt's walk-off was preceded by a game-tying single from Stefan Welch. Matt Curry, who drew a one-out walk to start the rally, scored on the play.
Curry, Welch and Holt are all left-handed and all started the game on the bench.
"We talked after the game about being called upon when you come off the bench," Curve manager P.J. Forbes said. "We sat all the lefties today, wanted to get some guys some ABs, wanted to get a couple guys some rest. But they understand, a National League game, you have to be ready when called upon."
The game-winner off of Holt's bat was by no means a hard-hit ball.
Fact Box
Next stop
Tonight: Idle for Eastern League All-Star break
Next game: Thursday at Akron, 7:05 p.m.
Record: 43-45
With one out, the All-Star shortstop got down 0-2 in the count before he sent a flare to very shallow center field. The ball was out of reach for both of Binghamton's middle infielders and Jarek Cunningham - who walked earlier in the frame - scored from third base while Holt was then mobbed by his teammates at first.
"In a situation like that, you're just trying to put something in the outfield," said Holt, who entered the game as part of a double switch in the seventh inning. "Fortunately, he left a slider over the inside part of the plate and I was able to get enough on it. Definitely wasn't a lot, but it was enough to get the job done."
Adrian Rosario was summoned from the B-Mets bullpen to close things out in the ninth inning, but the right hander struggled with his command. Eleven of the 21 pitches Rosario (1-2) threw were out of the strike zone, and he got behind in the count on Welch after already issuing walks to Curry and Cunningham.
"I was mostly just looking for a pitch to hit, luckily he got behind and I hit a liner," Welch said of his single which knotted the game 2-2.
Logan Kensing (1-0) allowed a hit but no runs in the ninth and also struck out a batter while earning his first win.
The dramatic victory puts the Curve at 43-45 headed into the All-Star Break, and Forbes said the team would have Tuesday off and light workouts Wednesday before the Curve head to Akron to resume play Thursday.
That schedule applies to all but four players as Holt will be joined by catcher Ramon Cabrera along with pitchers Brandon Cumpton and Vic Black at this year's Eastern League midsummer classic in Reading.
Altoona has had its ups and downs so far this season. The team was nine games below .500 on May 13, but has picked up some steam lately and won eight of 12 games entering the break.
"The grind, battling every day has been there and that's the main thing," Forbes said. "If our pitching holds up and we continue to battle, it will give us a chance to finish .500 or better."
Forbes added he's hoping some players who are vying to get to the next level will post good numbers in the homestretch of the season.
"We call it the salary drive, because it's not how you start, it's how you finish" he said. "[If] you finish the year strong, you're playing for a promotion for next year."
Game recap
Key player: SS Brock Holt's only had one hit, but it was an RBI single that won the game for the Curve.
Key play: 3B Stefan Welch not only tied the game in the ninth with a one-out single, but he also allowed 2B Jarek Cunningham to reach third, setting the stage for Holt.
Key stat: The Curve have six more wins at this year's All-Star Break than last year's.
How they scored
Top 1st: Kazmar doubled, scored on Dykstra sacrifice fly (0-1).
Bottom 5th: Grossman solo homer (1-1).
Top 8th: Campbell singled, scored on Martin single (1-2).
Bottom 9th: Curry walked, scored on Welch single (2-2); Cunningham walked, scored on Holt single (3-2).

MIracles Are Right Brain Experiences
What we call miracles are unexpected experiences. We don't predict them beforehand. They create wonder in us. We are in awe of them.
When we expect a miracle, we are not so impressed with it, for it doesn't take us by surprise.
Every sunrise and sunset and the night sky are miraculous, but we are so used to them that we don't give these miracles much thought.
Of course, we are one of those miracles!
You've heard of Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, a researcher, who wrote My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist's Personal Journey.
Because of a stroke, she lost the categorizing, organizing, describing, judging and critically analyzing skills of her left brain, along with its language centers and ego center. Without her left brain's neural circuitry, her consciousness shifted into present moment thinking. The functions of her right hemisphere blossomed! She became an artist, and she experienced herself "at one with the universe."
Through her experience and her medical background, Jill tells how we can 'tend the garden of our minds' and maximize our quality of life. She says that we can consciously influence the neural circuitry underlying what we think, how we feel, and how we react to life's circumstances. She tells us that we can exercise our own right hemispheric circuitry and make a difference to the world. "... the more time we spend running our deep inner peace circuitry, the more peace we will project into the world, and ultimately the more peace we will have on the planet."
I can't help wondering, simply by our innocent reading of Heavenletters, are we developing our own deep inner peace brain circuitry? On the whole, through Heavenletters, we feel better. Is this then how we serve God and the universe whether we are aware of it or not?

Since 1997, there has been a consensus that screening is effective in reducing colorectal cancer mortality and is cost-effective (1–4). Colorectal cancer screening has now become the standard of medical practice, and failure to screen has become a basis for malpractice suits. Guidelines suggest a 1- or a 2-stage screening approach. The 1-stage approach is to screen average-risk men and women with colonoscopy every 10 years. This "1-stop shopping" strategy can screen, diagnose, and treat by removing premalignant adenomatous polyps. The 2-stage approach requires people to have an annual fecal occult blood test (FOBT), flexible sigmoidoscopy every 5 years, or both, followed by colonoscopy if the FOBT result is positive or a polyp is present on sigmoidoscopy. More sensitive guaiac-based FOBTs, newer immunochemical FOBTs (5), and a test for stool DNA mutations have expanded available options for detecting neoplasia. Virtual colonoscopy detects polyps or cancer by reconstructing computed tomographic images (1).

Breakthrough Linux-based MOTOFONE with electronic paper display
November 29, 2006 Motorola has finally rolled out the highly anticipated MOTOFONE at an event held in New Delhi, India. The MOTOFONE looks set to strengthen Motorola's drive to connect the next billion mobile phone users, with the Indian launch to be followed by a rapid international rollout. Is the first model of the company's SCPL design platform Linux-based phones designed to replace the Razr and is aimed at low-end users with its very easy-to-read electronic paper display and outstanding battery life. It is the first of a new breed of handsets designed to disrupt today's communications landscape by cutting across price tiers, product segments and international markets. We've written lots previously ( Sony Reader, READIUS Rollable Display, Iliad electronic reader, Plastic flexible e-paper Display, clocks, watches) about E Ink's electronic paper displays, which are the basis of the MOTOFONE's ClearVision display. The changeable electronic ink display is easy to read in bright sunlight or dimly lit environments from virtually any angle -- just like paper. Additionally, the display is plastic, lightweight and ultra-low power, making it ideal for mobile and power sensitive applications by eliminating the weight and breakability of glass used in LCD displays.
"In the weeks and months to come, consumers from around the world will enjoy the benefit of the technological innovations packed into MOTOFONE," said Ron Garriques, president, Mobile Devices, Motorola Inc. "Today's global launch marks a major milestone as Motorola continues its drive to connect the next billion mobile phone users."
In both GSM and CDMA, MOTOFONE re-establishes expectations over how a value-priced handset looks and feels and what it delivers. Offering an intuitive new interface built with icons and voice versus text, as well as voice prompts specifically tailored to local markets, the handset makes it easier and friendlier for first-time users to navigate, place a call, and retrieve messages. Its large, high contrast screen, powered by a revolutionary ClearVision display makes it easier to use the phone outdoors.
"E Ink is unleashing the design freedom of Motorola which enables disruptive innovation," said Russ Wilcox, CEO of E Ink Corporation. "Today's launch marks an unique moment in the display industry as it shows that electronic paper displays are entering the mainstream."
The GSM version, MOTOFONE F3, is available now in India and will roll out in international markets in the coming weeks. Motorola is working towards shipping the CDMA version, MOTOFONE F3c, by the end of 2006.

School founded in 1987.
The present class format is for six months, limited to seven students. The course is extremely information-intensive, and not for the casual workshopper. My goal is to continue to form future professional artists and instructors. The program is not for everybody. It's challenging.
All information will be presented in simple language. Instruction is in the form of frequent lecture-demonstrations, and lengthy individual critique.Principles are generalizations. They must then be applied to very specific cases. We will work with two categories. One is intellectual, the principles. The other is purely sensory. Comparing what we see on the canvas, to what we see on the model. Visual to visual.
For example, light travels from an energetic source. Therefore it is directional. For our terrestrial studio purposes, we can say it travels in a straight line thatÔøΩs a principle. It is then necessary to carefully decide that light direction as it reflects from the model, and at what angle it reflects to our eyes. That is determined visually. We will always be dealing with three-dimensional objects, in three-dimensional space.
Principle: All light has an intensity, and a coloration. Visual: Exactly how bright is that light, and what is its color? We discover these specifics by comparing what we have done to what we see. General principles x comparison=Discovery!
Our basic subject is the actions of light on the structures of forms. Structure includes the specific shapes of every form, how those shapes are modified by action, how they are arranged on the body (nature's organized design ) how they grow, modular proportions, families of structures, how they are tilted in space relative to our line of sight, and so on.
Light is invisible unless it reflects from form. Form is invisible without light. In order for the process of sight to occur, both light and form are necessary. Restructured Realism is the study of perception, and the optimal suggestion paint allows, of what we see. It is a contemporary vision, or perhaps a future one, whose roots are from the past.This program is unique in the world. You will receive information not available elsewhere. If you are very highly dedicated, contact me for the brochure.
Good wishes, to you, and for your art.
Read Restructured Realism in FranceLast updated on 2011-07-05
The London Atelier of Representational Art (LARA) housed in Vauxhall, was established in response to the rarity of rigorous representational art education in the UK. LARA teaches the fundamentally important aspects of drawing, painting and sculpture from life through the "sight size" method and uses a specific approach designed to teach the essential concepts of proportion, line, gesture, form and light.
Inspired by the atelier method of instruction, LARA offers a unique training with sustained poses of no less than two weeks and up to one month, giving optimum time to observe and understand the figure. LARA believes "To successfully draw from life, one must first understand how to see".
A half day is spent drawing or painting from the nude model, the other half the cast, still life, or portrait model. Each project lasts a minimum of two weeks. Class numbers are limited to no more than 26 and all tutors are classically trained working artists implementing a highly structured style with regular critical appraisal.
LARA welcomes part-time and full-time students, with courses running from one-week intensive workshops to three year full time training. The school also offers weekend classes and holiday schools to aid those with additional commitments.
LARA recognises that students learn at different rates and will arrive with different levels of experience. As a result the approach is flexible, all levels of ability are catered for and teaching is tailored to individual requirements.

Tribunal denounced for freeing Croatians
Russia denounced a U.N. tribunal Wednesday for undermining international justice by freeing two Croatian generals and Kosovo's ex-prime minister who were accused of war crimes or crimes against humanity against Serbs.
Russia's U.N. Ambassador Vitaly Churkin told the Security Council that the war crimes tribunal for former Yugoslavia demonstrated "neither fairness nor effectiveness" in last month's release of generals Ante Gotovina and Mladen Markac, which was quickly followed by the release of ex-Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj and two of his former Kosovo Liberation Army comrades.
As a result, Churkin said, no one has been held accountable for murdering and expelling Serb civilians during a 1995 Croatian military offensive or for murdering and torturing Serbs and their supporters in Kosovo's war for independence.
Gotovina and Markac, the most senior Croatian officers convicted of war crimes during the Balkan wars of the 1990s, were freed by the tribunal's appeals chamber, which overturned their convictions for killing and deporting Serbs in a Croatian military blitz known as Operation Storm that drove thousands of Serbs from their homes and left hundreds dead.
Haradinaj, a former KLA commander, and his comrades were acquitted of crimes against humanity for the second time for allegedly murdering and torturing Serbs and their supporters in Kosovo's fight for independence.
Kosovo declared independence from Serbia in 2008 following a bloody civil war in 1999 that began with a brutal Serb crackdown on separatist Kosovo Albanians.
The court's prosecutor, Serge Brammertz, told the Security Council that serious crimes were documented in both cases and the victims "have the right to justice."
He encouraged national authorities in the region "to continue the fight against impunity."
In the case of the Croatian generals, Churkin said Russia was "surprised how blithely, even carelessly, a 3-2 vote quashed the unanimous verdict at trial, one justified by many years of investigation."
He said that in the view of Russia, which has close cultural and religious ties to the Serbs, "justice was not done — as stated by one of the (appeals) judges in dissent."
Churkin said a similar assessment is merited in the acquittals in the Haradinaj case where he alleged that "witnesses were subjected to unabashed blackmail and intimidation."
Both verdicts "discredit the idea of international criminal justice," he said.
"Faith and the chance of restoring peace through international justice has been substantially undermined."
Serbia's First Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic called the two verdicts "grotesque" and told the Security Council that his country's "faith in international justice has suffered a severest possible blow," especially as a result of the "shameful" Gotovina and Markac decision.
He said the tribunal's main goal was to contribute to peace and reconciliation in the Balkans.
"In its more than a decade of existence, it has convicted a number of former Serbian political and military leaders for war crimes. At the same time, it has failed to convict a single senior official from Croatia or Bosnia, and it has failed to convict a single senior Kosovo Albanian official for war crimes or crimes against humanity," Vucic said.
"By the recent judgment," he said, "the Serbian nation has therefore been singled out as the sole perpetrator of such acts, and as the sole people responsible for the terrible violence that engulfed the former Yugoslavia in the 1990s."
In response to the tribunal's actions, Vucic told the council that Serbia will continue co-operating with the tribunal but only "on the technical level."
Germany's U.N. Ambassador Peter Wittig said he was "alarmed" by Serbia's announcement that it will reduce its co-operation with the tribunal and called on all countries to co-operate with the court "to the fullest extent." He defended the tribunal for its independence and for consistently upholding "high standards of justice ... including the right of appeal."
Churkin vowed to ensure that the tribunal's work is completed as called for by the council by Dec. 31, 2014, expressing dismay that one trial is not scheduled to finish until 2017.

Gregory Martens
"The prints I make are an attempt to transform the visual media of 20th century popular culture by combining them with appropriated contemporary images and drawing. I frequently visit the ideas from American Vernacular painting: hard times, hard labor, survival, religion, oppressive politics, and isolation. These are timeless human experiences that continuously change but never disappear. I hope the viewer will engage the narrative and the familiarity of style in the pictures, and appreciate an approach that seems to be simultaneously cynical yet optimistic, and humorous yet poignant".
Born and raised in the Milwaukee area, Martens earned his BFA in printmaking at the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee in 2009. He maintains a busy exhibition schedule across the US, and his prints and artists books are collected in both North and South America. Martens and his wife reside in Wauwatosa Wi, and have three grown children and one granddaughter.

Marathon Oil (NYSE: MRO ) announced plans today for 2014, which include a nearly $6 billion investment in its assets to grow production capabilities, the potential divestment of certain noncore European assets, and increasing its share repurchase authorization to $2.5 billion.
More than 60% ($3.6 billion) of the company's $5.9 billion 2014 capital, investment, and exploration budget would be dedicated to what it called "high-growth, liquids-rich North America resource play assets," including $2.3 billion for the Eagle Ford in south Texas, $1 billion in the Bakken shale in North Dakota, and $236 million in the Oklahoma Woodford.. The company noted these are "assets that provide low-risk, profitable growth," with the ultimate target being "significant value creation." It anticipates these investments will allow for resource play production rate growth of 30% year over year.
Of its more traditional operations, Marathon noted it will spend approximately $1.4 billion to develop its conventional assets, and expected its overall production rate to grow by 4% next year after excluding Alaska, Angola, and Libya. From 2012 to 2017, Marathon anticipates a total production growth of 5%-7% per year, and for its resource play growth rate to stand at 25% per year.
In move to both simplify and concentrate its portfolio, Marathon said it would begin marketing its assets in the United Kingdom and Norway. This follows divestments totaling nearly $3.5 billion over the last three years. It anticipated this move would allow the adjusted production growth rate to increase to 8%-10%, while also allowing for better cash flow into the company.
Finally, the company announced it would up its share repurchase authorization to $2.5 billion, which included a previously announced $500 authorization resulting from the sale of its Angola Block 31.
"Marathon Oil has demonstrated its ability to execute on its strategy and deliver results -- an essential element to becoming the industry's premier independent exploration and production company," said Lee Tillman, Marathon Oil's president and CEO, in a press release. "With dedicated employees across the globe and a steadfast commitment to safe, responsible operations, skillful execution and delivering industry-leading results will remain our focus in 2014 and beyond."

Out of 246 machine-preserved human cadaveric kidneys, 83 (34%) had an early posttransplant nonfunction. Early posttransplant function was classified as F (immediate and continuing good function), FAR (immediate good function followed by accelerated rejection), SF (slow initial function), and NF (nonfunction).
Early function class NF was related largely to the duration of hemodialysis prior to transplantation and to the presence and degree of recipient presensitization, as determined by antibody-against-panel (AbAP) assays. Early function class NF kidneys also were more frequent in second than in first transplants. The numbers and specificities of HL-A antigens mismatched and machine perfusion characteristics (flow and pressure) were essentially the same for NF and F kidneys.

Troopers said 25-year-old Lanessa Riobe hit the family's car on Interstate 75 early last month, causing it to lose control.
While the family was trying to get out of the car, a tractor trailer hit it.
The father and daughter were able to escape the vehicle, but 35-year-old Deborah Maldonado and her 12-year-old son died.
Riobe faces charges of leaving the scene of a crash involving death, and driving with a revoked license.

In the stands in Durban, you could feel the excitement of Swiss supporters. You could feel it even before the goal went in and we were leading Spain. People believed that this would be a breakout tournament for the Swiss. When fulltime sounded, we all believed it. We had beaten maybe the best team in the world. Keep that moment locked away tight in your minds, because there has been precious little to cheer about since.
The Swiss spent an hour on 10 men, but still, firm defending nearly let them hold out against a strong attacking Chile side. Only nearly though, as Chile won 1-0 with a 75th minute goal from Mark Gonzalez.
There were, of course, some arguments about Behrami's sending off. It was a silly thing to do, throwing those elbows all over, but a very very harsh red.
You just can't help but feel bad for Marco Streller. For the third time in his otherwise fabulous national team career, he will miss a major tournament with injury. Ottmar Hitzfeld will be hoping his front line can deal without him and has shown faith in Albert Bunjaku to fill the void, selecting him ahead of promising youngster Nassim Ben Khalifa. Time will tell whether this more conservative move will serve us. For myself, I think a young and unpredictable element might be just what we need in a very tough group, but we'll just have to see.
Here's the squad:
Arsenal centre-back Philippe Senderos has been included in Ottmar Hitzfeld's 23-man World Cup squad despite an indifferent season at club level.
The 25-year-old has played only a handful of games over the past two terms while out on loan at AC Milan and Everton, but remains in favour with Hitzfeld.
There is no place, however, for fellow Gunners defender Johan Djourou, who returned to action last weekend after being sidelined for more than eight months with a knee injury.

From reservation to checkout, Cal and Jill (locals) demonstrated their love for the B & B lifestyle and their guests. They provided sincere, friendly service, truly wanting our stay to be enjoyable. And it was! The house and rooms are lovely, providing comfort yet retaining the style of the era it was built in 1907 . Wonderfully unique is the upstairs sunroom where I enjoyed early morning coffee before the sumptuous breakfast. Plenty of delicious hot food, original homecooked recipes, coffee, and juice each day solidified this as one of the best B&B experiences we have ever had. We will be back!

Cal and Jill are pros! The Sweet Magnolia is one of the very best B&Bs we've ever stayed at. The rooms are large and well appointed. The bed was just perfect. The breakfasts were generous and delicious. The shower had lots of hot water (which is great at the end of a day of exploring) Cal and Jill are super folks and very familiar with the area and the sights to see, where to eat, and things to do. We couldn't be happier with our first stay and we've already been back a second time!

We travel to Sandpoint regularly for both personal and professional travel and are so glad to see a B&B re-open in town! The hosts Calvin and Jill (and family) are very welcoming and hospitable. Breakfasts were terrific and we enjoyed them on the beautiful porch. It was an especially wonderful to be able walk out of our upstairs room and have coffee upstairs on the sunroom before breakfast. When we travel, my husband and I like to have coffee early while waiting for teenaged daughters to wake up for breakfast. But often at other B&Bs, we feel like we are bugging a harried cook who is trying to get breakfast out. Not here! Atmosphere is very relaxing and low-key, yet every need is tended to thoughtfully and professionally. The location is terrific too - just blocks from restuarants and shopping, but far enough away to be out of the hustle and bustle. We have tried almost all the downtown Sandpoint hotels and a couple in Ponderay and this is a wonderful alternative! Highly recommend.

Our family had an urgent visit to Sandpoint to visit a gravely ill relative. When I called Calvin for our reservation he was very accomodating and truly sympathetic to our needs. We stayed 5 nights and felt very at home. The breakfast each morning was absolutely delicious and our rooms were very comfortable. Unfortunately, our beloved family member passed away while we were there, but Calvin and Jill were not only the innkeepers, but became very dear friends. I look forward to visiting them again soon.

We just stayed at the Sweet M. We spent the evening sitting on the porch on a beautiful Sandpoint evening. They brought us fresh baked cookies and flowers for our anniversary. The bed was comfortable, and breakfast was delicious. This will be a regular stop when we return to Sandpoint.

We had such a relaxing stay, just what we needed to continue our road trip.

The One Period Problem of a Monopoly Incentive Compatible Equity and Debt-linked Contracts
Ayi Gavriel Ayayi
Université du Québec
April 24, 2003
EFMA 2003 Helsinki Meetings
The paper studies what is the optimal financial vehicle that serves a monopoly best interest in nurturing his investees and at the same time can provide a socially optimal welfare. I demonstrate that it is the equity contract that serves the monopoly best interest because the profits it generates are higher than the profits derived from the collateral debt and convertible debt contract. In addition, I show that the equity contract is socially better than the debt-linked. I also show that neither equity nor debt-linked contracts are able to reveal the ability of the entrepreneur.

Richard Davis is a passionate Liberal Democrat who has actively campaigned across London, gaining recognition for involving grassroots activists in all layers of government and developing new initiatives to spread our party message far beyond our membership.
Richard has a background as a scientist working as a biochemist before taking a role as a risk specialist and more recently setting up a software design company.
Richard says
under past consecutive governments we have seen the erosion of civil liberties, the growth of an inequality gap and an ever expanding bureaucratic centralised government that takes power away from people and the communities they live in. I joined the Lib Dems as they were the only party with a realistic, achievable strategy to right these wrongs.
Richard has worked with a number of local parties as both local party Chair and Regional Executive Member with the responsibility for Membership. He helped develop the strategies used by smaller less well funded parties in the General Election campaign to have high impact events that attracted mass media attention. He also developed innovative use of Social Media during these campaigns to help grow party membership and outreach.
There is a real buzz on the doorstep – going out and talking to people gives you a feel for what the real issues are outside of the political bubble many politicians live in.
The Lib Dems' community values is one of the principles Richard himself most values in the party. Richard commented,
I will dedicate every spare moment to engaging all parts of our community, speaking to shopkeepers one-by-one, meeting mum's and teachers and activating the youth vote online.

There has been growing interest in the associations between cigarette smoking and symptoms of depression. This study documents the comorbidity between depression and nicotine dependence in a birth cohort of 16-year-olds and examines the extent to which comorbidity between depression and nicotine dependence could be explained by risk factors associated with both outcomes.
Data were gathered during the course of a 16year longitudinal study of a birth cohort of 947 New Zealand children for (1) depressive disorders and nicotine dependence at age 16 years; and (2) prospectively measured risk factors including family social position, family history of criminality, parental smoking, life events, parental attachment, conduct problems, self-esteem, and affiliations with delinquent peers.
There was evidence of moderate to strong comorbidity between depression and nicotine dependence at age 16 years; teenagers with a depressive disorder had odds of nicotine dependence that were 4.6 times those of teenagers without depressive disorder. Analyses using logistic regression and log-linear modeling methods revealed that a substantial component of the comorbidity between depression and nicotine dependence was explained by common or correlated risk factors associated with both outcomes. After adjustment for common or correlated risk factors, the adjusted odds ratio between depression and nicotine dependence was 2.3.
Comorbidities between depression and nicotine dependence seem to be well established by the age of 16 years. Much of this comorbidity can be explained by common or correlated risk factors associated with depression or nicotine dependence.

Apple Ipad Mini vs Google Nexus 7 vs Amazon Kindle Fire HD head to head review
We take a critical look at Apple, Google and Amazon's small tablets
The absence of Google services is a problem for the Ipad Mini that is excarbated by the host of really nice new features Google has added to its Android 4.1 Jelly Bean OS. Chief among the additions is the Google Now service.
Google Now appears the moment you open the Nexus from sleep mode and can also be accessed by pulling up from the device's home button. The feature houses a number of dynamic "cards" each containing information the device feels is relevant to the user based on information taken from their Google account. This includes location, search and purchase data.
Another key point to address when choosing between Android and IOS is that neither party has made it all that easy to jump from one ecosystem to the other.
While Apple's played a canny trick with Music and its Itunes Match service, it has yet to roll out an app equivalent. The same is true for Google, which likewise offers no app recovery features.
Because of this we have to concede, picking which OS is better is a very difficult task, with the answer really depending on what operating system you're currently using.
Winner: Tie between Nexus 7 and Ipad Mini
When it comes to performance the Kindle Fire HD is the clear loser. The Kindle Fire HD comes loaded with a modest Texas Instruments OMAP 1.2GHz dual-core processor that, while functional, makes the device noticeably slower than the Ipad Mini and Nexus 7.
We're thinking this is largely because of the Kindle Fire HD's software. Running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, albeit a heavily modified version, the Kindle Fire HD doesn't benefit from Google's Project Butter.
Project Butter is code added to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. The code removes a number of the frame rate and technical issues that caused older versions to occasionally chug and stall. The lack of Project Butter on the Kindle Fire HD makes the device feel a little more stuttery and less pleasant to use than its competitors.
Comparing the Ipad Mini and the Nexus 7, we found that the Google tablet was quicker. Putting the two tablets through their paces, loading videos, playing 3D games and surfing the web, we found the Ipad Mini's dual A5 processor, while still perfectly decent, was outperformed by the Nexus 7's quad-core Tegra 3 component.
The result surprised us, as usually, even with on-paper slower processors, Apple products have outperformed Android devices. This is because of Apple's closed development strategy, which allows it to optimise its software to get the absolute most out of the device's components.
Winner: Nexus 7

How to Argue About Prostitution
Michelle Madden Dempsey
Villanova University School of Law
November 1, 2011
Criminal Law & Philosophy, January 2012, Volume 6, Issue 1, pp 65-80
Villanova Law/Public Policy Research Paper No. 2011-15
This article provides a comparative analysis of various methodologies employed in building arguments regarding prostitution law and policy, and reflects on the proper aims of legal philosophy more generally. Taking Peter de Marneffe's Liberalism and Prostitution (OUP 2010) as a launching point for these reflections, the article offers a mostly favourable review of the book as a whole, and defends the philosophical enterprise as one (amongst other) valuable ways to argue about prostitution.

STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) - Before Eddie Sutton leaves his house each day, he sticks a pin in the lapel of his sports coat. It's a black square with an orange ribbon and the numeral 10, a reminder of those killed when an Oklahoma State plane crashed in January.
"I'm going to put it away one of these days," Sutton says, shuffling the mail on his office desk. "I don't know when. I just feel like it's still, in a way, honoring those people who went down."
Nine months after the crash that killed two players and eight members of Oklahoma State's basketball traveling party, Sutton is beginning his 32nd season as a Division I basketball coach. He gave some thought to retiring after last year but decided he still enjoyed the game and his players, and that at age 65, he still has something to offer.
"That's one of those experiences that you're not sure you're going to be able to handle it," Sutton said. "But I felt like I did an adequate job, and I hope I don't have to go through anything like that again. It wasn't an easy task at all."
The Beechcraft King Air 200 carried a pilot and co-pilot, two players, the team's play-by-play announcer, a radio engineer, a trainer, a student assistant, the team's director of basketball operations and a member of the sports information office.
The plane was one of three small airplanes the Cowboys used to fly to Colorado on Friday, Jan. 26. They lost to the Buffaloes the next day, then headed home in light snow with one mile visibility.
When he arrived in back in Stillwater, Sutton was told that the third plane apparently had experienced some trouble and had returned to Denver.
"I wasn't that alarmed because it goes back to the guy that was flying that plane," Sutton said of pilot Denver Mills. "I had more confidence in him as a pilot than any pilot I've ever flown with. I knew if there was a problem that he would certainly get that plane back."
Sutton was at home when he received the phone call telling him the plane apparently had gone down. He called his other coaches and went to the office, where he began the task of calling the victims' relatives to tell them the tragic news.
If the crash had happened 20 years ago, Sutton said, he isn't sure he could have handled it. But he has been steeled by the experience of beating a drinking problem and surviving a recruiting scandal that cost him his job at Kentucky.
"I think that's the thing I admired the most about the way he handled it," said Sutton's middle son, Sean. "He met it head on. He refused to let it get him down to a point where you just shut down."
Three days after the crash, the Cowboys returned to practice, and Eddie Sutton held his first news conference. He answered every question, including those about why small planes are used to transport the team. He defended the practice and still does, saying it saves the school money, keeps the players from having to miss as much class time, and is safe.
Sutton attended six of the funerals, five of them in a span of three days. He also attended an emotional memorial service at Gallagher-Iba Arena, and spoke in an unwavering voice about each of the victims.
"I don't know if there's a coach in America or a person in America who could have done a better job," said Illinois coach Bill Self, who spent three years as an assistant under Sutton at Oklahoma State. "He was a pillar of strength, I think, for the community and, most importantly, the families going through the mourning."
There was a point soon after the crash, Sutton said, when he wasn't sure his team would be able to finish the season. But he and his coaches encouraged them to play on.
"Certainly we all mourn for a while and we'll always think about 'em and they'll always be a part of our lives," he said. "But at the same time, I tried to explain to the guys that life goes on. Accidents happen. Adversity happens to all of us, and you can't dwell on something forever. I think our guys have done a pretty good job of doing that."
The Cowboys returned to the court Feb. 5 with a stirring victory against Missouri. They went on to receive an at-large bid in the NCAA tournament, where they lost in the first round to Southern California. Their record: 20-10.
This year, Oklahoma State begins the season ranked No. 18 and is expected to contend for the Big 12 Conference title. These Cowboys are as talented a group as Sutton has had in some time, and there are enough newcomers on the roster to keep him busy and inspired.
"He really set out a goal this year that we really need to have a good year," forward Fredrik Jonzen said. "I thought this was going to be his final year as a coach. But now he's kind of starting a new motivation for him to maybe coach five more years. I think he still feels that he has a whole lot more to give and to teach young kids."
While the memories of last year will never be far away, Sutton is moving on.
"I don't know, I could wake up a year from now and say, 'Well, I guess I ought to step down,' " he said. "But right now, I'm looking forward to the upcoming season."

ALLEN PARK -- The Detroit Lions wanted a flamethrower, an outside linebacker capable of rushing the passer. They targeted and landed that guy in the second round of the 2014 NFL draft, trading up five spots to select Brigham Young standout Kyle Van Noy.
A versatile defender who operated in a variety of roles for the Cougars, Van Noy is being asked to do the same for the Lions.
"I fit in all sorts of sets," Van Noy said. "The coaches are going to put me at different places and I'm excited about it."
As projected, Van Noy has been working primarily as a strongside linebacker during the team's rookie minicamp. He's also spent time rushing the passer from the line of scrimmage.
"I think it's going to be good because I can do it stand up, which is something I'm comfortable with," Van Noy said. "It's something I'm going to need practice at, like anything I do. I need practice playing off the ball as well."
Van Noy was a productive pass rusher in college, tallying 26 sacks in four seasons. The Lions hope he can carry over some of that success as the team installs an aggressive scheme designed to bring a steady stream of pressure.
"When you look at being able to pressure from different parts of your defense and not wanting to be static, you have to have some backers that have to ability to rush," defensive coordinator Teryl Austin said shortly after the Lions drafted Van Noy. "I think that is what he does. He gives us that ability."
