The Other Israelis
Posted on Aug 7, 2011
By Mary Slosson, Albert Sabaté, and Andrew Khouri
(Page 4)
Such regulations are a violation of basic human rights, said Kav LaOved's Lebovitch.
"Who on earth has the right to tell you not to have a child? Not to start a family? Asking about regulating that it is ridiculous, because no one is allowed to regulate such a thing," she said.
But Aren De Silva and her family have been given new life.
In April, the Israeli Supreme Court struck down the regulation. Workers can now remain in Israel with their children until their allotted 63-month employment period ends. New regulations, the court said, must not "unreasonably and disproportionately [violate] human rights, which should be guarded vigilantly."
Square, Site wide
The ruling, which stemmed from a 2005 suit brought by Kav LaOved, was a major victory for migrant workers and their children, one helped tremendously by an Israeli coalition composed of human rights groups, Jewish citizens and the workers themselves.
Since the government began formulating plans to deport scores of children two years ago, numerous Israelis and American Jewish groups have come to the aid of immigrants. Of all people, Jews—who have been subject to persecution for centuries—should recognize the plight of the children, they argued.
"It is sad to know the country can treat children like this," said Michal Katz, an 18-year-old Israeli scout, who showed up to support the children at the Purim bash.
As part of her service in the scouts—a Zionist youth group that allows Israelis to defer army service for a year—Katz volunteers at Bialik-Rogozin, a South Tel Aviv school that serves migrant and refugee children and was featured in an Oscar-winning documentary.
"[The children] don't want to go to another country. They don't know other countries," she said, adding that she noticed more Israelis turning against plans to deport the children.
"Those kids have a lot of support from the citizens in Israel," she said proudly.
But the country constantly frets over demographic challenges to its Jewish majority, especially from its Arab citizens, who make up 20 percent of the population and maintain a higher birthrate.
"We all feel and understand the hearts of children," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said last year, quoted by The New York Times. "But on the other hand, there are Zionist considerations and ensuring the Jewish character of the state of Israel. The problem is that these two components clash."
At the March Purim festivities, Dave De Silva dismissed the notion of sending Drew Jade to the Philippines to ensure his family's legal status as "idiotic." Although he holds a conditional residency card, Dave said lawyers have warned him he could face deportation if his family is discovered.
"For me, I decided my son rather than the paper," he said, as Aren and Drew Jade played on a seesaw perched on a green-topped playground teeming with other Filipino children.
Migrant workers are treated "like animals," Dave said in March, explaining workers are imported to construct buildings, take care of the elderly and grow crops, but then forced out for the simplest human act.
"We are people who come here to work," he said. "It's natural: We fall in love. We have kids. We get married. But they don't understand it. They think this must be religious, this must be Jewish."
Reached by phone after the ruling, the 20-year-old father was unaware of the change in law. Dave said he has tremendous respect for the Israelis who have advocated for him and his family. However, he said, that respect doesn't extend to Israel's government, not even the historically liberal Supreme Court.
"I don't trust them," he said. "They will keep on catching kids."
The Ministry of Interior has suspended its plans to deport the children and parents of migrant workers who became illegal under the former pregnancy regulation, said Lachmanovitch, who charged that illegal workers use their children as anchors to stay in Israel, even though many became illegal only after giving birth.
"Until the Supreme Court changes its mind, we will stop sending them back," he said.
But for some, the ruling came too late.
In March, Kav LaOved's waiting room bustled with workers seeking help navigating a complicated bureaucracy that governs their lives while in Israel.
In the corner, Aradhane cradled her 2-month-old baby girl, Alisha. The newborn was wrapped tightly in a multicolored blanket; nearly hidden from view except for a small, white fleece hat festooned on her tiny head.
The pair wouldn't be together for long.
In four days, Aradhane said she planned to leave Israel, drop Alisha off in India, and then return in May to resume caring for elderly Israelis.
"I am going to leave [her] with my mother, because there is no choice," the 30-year-old caregiver said in a reserved tone tinged with sadness. "Every time they scare us. They say 'Children has to go, children has to go.' "
As of the Passover holiday, the government had deported seven women and eight children since announcing its plans last summer, according to the Hotline for Migrant Workers. About 400 children and their parents were targeted for deportation in August.
"If the government of Israel doesn't want these children, they should stop bringing their parents," said the hotline's Rozen. "But as long as they bring their parents, they cannot ignore the fact that they are humans and not work machines."
In 2010, 32,000 migrant workers entered the country legally on work permits, according to a government report. Approximately 211,000 migrant workers were in the country that year, the report said, about half of them illegally.

You hardly need

Life can seem hectic and overwhelming today if you have not adequately prepared yourself to face the day's duties. You may feel that the schedule before you represents an impossible amount of labor and, as a result, begin to question your capabilities. Yet as harried as you likely feel, you may discover you can work through your overloaded agenda competently by simply creating a thorough action plan. If you are methodical in your approach to your responsibilities today, you can move from duty to duty without becoming unnecessarily mired in any one item on your to-do list.
Having a plan in place when we are called upon to handle a long list of obligations can help us move from one task to the next without becoming unduly overwhelmed. It is easy to bow under the pressure of a hectic schedule when we find ourselves lost in a sea of responsibilities, unsure of where we should focus our attention and energy. A well-structured plan guides us from duty to duty, providing us with the framework we need. We know what to do and when to do it and can ground ourselves in the task before us without feeling pressured to move on quickly. Even when we are unable to cross off each item on our duty roster, we can clearly see where we overspent our time and modify our plans to compensate in the future. You will have no trouble keeping up with your obligations today when you have a solid plan of action in place.

A plan in Massachusetts to use GPS chips for monitoring the number of miles residents drive has some worried "big brother" is about to track their every move.
Supporters say the chips used in the "Vehicle Miles Traveled" program won't be used to track drivers in real time.
Instead, the chips will send signals to a satellite on how many miles people drive in the state. The state would then use the information to tax drivers based on their mileage.
The new tax would make up for lost gas tax revenues that are expected to drop as more fuel efficient cars are built. The federal government is also considering chipping cars.
A similar program has been used in Oregon. Rhode Island and Idaho are also considering the chips.
The plan has not been enacted yet, though the Governor of Massachusetts wants to put a GPS chip in every car in the state.

One of the biggest dangers to gerbils is the exposure to bacteria. However, they produce little waste and are naturally clean animals, which will make cleaning your pet gerbil's cage an easy task. As a rule of thumb, do a major clean of the cage one or two times a month as needed.
Monthly Maintenance Checklist:
Though the cage does not need to be cleaned often, it is good to do daily checks to make sure that your pet gerbil's home is safe. This will also help establish a trust relationship with your gerbil and it will look forward to this time with you.

Quick pickled peppers /Richard Hartog / Los Angeles Times פלפל כבוש מעולה
3/4 pound shishito peppers
2 1/2 cups rice vinegar (I use 1.5 cups and the rest- water)
3 cloves garlic, peeled and lightly smashed
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons dried oregano (I didn't add)
1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1 small onion, sliced 1/4 inch thick
2 to 3 whole chiles de arbol or other small dried red chile (optional)-I didn't add them
1. Cut a thin lengthwise slit on each side of each pepper to allow the brine to penetrate.
2. In a medium saucepan, simmer the vinegar with 2 cups of water, the garlic, salt, sugar, oregano, peppercorns, onion and dried chile, if desired, until fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes.
3. Blanch the peppers in a large pot of boiling water until they begin to soften and the color just begins to fade, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain the peppers and pat dry with a kitchen towel; do not rinse them.
4. Place the peppers, still warm, in a large nonreactive container with a cover and pour the vinegar solution over them. Seal tightly and refrigerate at least 8 hours.

SYCODE - IGES Import for SketchUp :
IGES Import for SketchUp is a plug-in for Google SketchUp®. This plug-in gives SketchUp the ability to import solid objects from IGES files.
IGES files contain graphical data in the form widely accepted by most CAD/CAM systems. IGES Import for SketchUp converts this geometric data into corresponding SketchUp entities and adds them to the contents of the currently opened SketchUp drawing. Solids and surfaces in an IGES file are tessellated and imported into SketchUp as mesh objects.
IGES Import for SketchUp is very easy to use. Once installed, it automatically loads itself into SketchUp and adds a new submenu called "IGES Import for SketchUp" to the SketchUp Plugins menu contining these newly added commands.

Online Help
The IGES File Format
The Initial Graphics Exchange Specification (IGES) file format standard was developed to address the incompatibility issue with various CAD/CAM systems. This standard allows efficient and accurate exchange of product definition data across almost all CAD/CAM systems. An IGES file is composed of 80-character ASCII records, a record length derived from the punch card era. Text strings are represented in "Hollerith" format, the number of characters in the string, followed by the letter "H", followed by the text string, e.g., "4HSLOT".
Sycode Software Licensing TermsOur licenses are single computer licenses and are locked to each computer they are installed on. Basically, the license key is specific to the computer's Host ID (the MAC address of the computer), and will not work on another computer. The installer picks up the physical MAC address of the network card connected to the computer which is basically Ethernet adapter Network Connect Adapter. So unless you change your network card, the key will always work even if you reinstall your operating system. If your internal network is periodically assigning a different Host ID to your computer, then please find a solution for this with your IT department.

11-06-2012Expert meeting: German-Dutch Parliamentary Imagery in Comparison 1918-1940

Dutch Yearbook of Parliamentary History 2011 presented - Hoofdinhoud
On the 15th of November 2011 the Dutch Centre for Parliamentary History presented its Yearbook of Parliamentary History 2011 in the former room of the Second Chamber in The Hague. The book was presented to Mrs. Gerdi Verbeet, president of the Second Chamber of the Dutch Parliament. The title of this edition of the Jaarboek is: 'Where vision is lacking, the people perish.' The former socialist Prime Minister of the Netherlands Mr J. den Uyl used this reference to Proverbs 11:14 in 1973 when he introduced his new cabinet. The phrase is still popular nowadays, and is often invoked in times when political leadership is found wanting.
In the Jaarboek Parlementaire Geschiedenis 2011 historians, (former) politicians, political scientists and other experts try to answer the question if classic political and ideological concepts, such as liberalism, social-democracy and Christian democracy can still offer perspective nowadays. The book also contains a chronicle of the past parliamentary year, an interview with the leader of the social-democratic Partij van de Arbeid (PvdA) Mr Job Cohen, obituaries of politicians and reviews of new books in the field of politics and political history.
Mrs. Verbeet argued in her speech that the ideal parliament should form a close representation of the composition of society as a whole. Thus, people with lower levels of education, but with much life experience, should be able to obtain a seat in the parliament. 'It will give them the feeling that parliament exists not only for them, but also consists of them.' Her words received much attention in the Dutch newspapers. Other speakers at the presentation were the president of the Foundation for Parliamentary History, Mr Thom de Graaf and Professor of Dutch and European Constitutional Law and former Minister of Justice, Ernst Hirsch Ballin.
The Jaarboek Parlementaire Geschiedenis, produced by the Center for Parliamentary History (CPG) in Nijmegen, appears every year on the third Tuesday in November (i.e. exactly two months after the official opening of the parliamentary year in the Netherlands). The first Yearbook was published in 1999. Topical subjects or events often form the binding theme of the various articles and contributions. In 2010, for example, the central theme was the 'establishment and perception of truth' within a parliamentary/political context. In 2009 'moments of crisis' formed the focal point of the Yearbook.

I recently read Stephen Davis' book "LZ-'75: The Lost Chronicles of Led Zeppelin's 1975 American Tour" (a sequel of sorts to his widely read biography "Hammer of the Gods: The Led Zeppelin Saga"). I only mention this because "Trampled Under Foot" was prominently featured on that '75 tour, and so when reading "LZ-'75," I found myself replaying it many times in my head.
The song, from the band's "Physical Graffiti" album, was one of their few Top 40 singles. Yet with its ferociously funky beat, it sounds like nothing else they had ever done,.
Naturally I then tried to track down a video of it, and was pleased to find a really good one (not surprisingly, a performance from that '75 tour). Here it is.

College of the Canyons still has open seats for its upcoming summer session as the community college, despite more funding hits expected from the state in coming months, officials said Wednesday.
The college's 2012 summer schedule marks a roughly 60 percent increase from last summer's class schedule and is the largest summer session to be offered at COC since 2008.
Santa Clarita Valley's only community college began summer session registration with 480 courses, many of which have been in high demand from students planning to transfer or graduate.
Since then, the community college added 34 courses to offer a total of 1,200 seats for students.
"By making the decision to increase our summer schedule, the college will be able to provide classroom seats for about 16,000 students," said Joseph Gerda, assistant superintendent/vice president of instruction at College of the Canyons. "All summer courses have also been selected based on their high demand, which allows students to register for the classes they need to achieve their educational goals."
The college's first five-week summer session runs June 4 to July 6. A second, eight-week session will run June 11 to Aug. 3, and the final five-week session will run June 18 to July 27.
With the threat of more state funding cuts to community colleges, COC officials said Wednesday there is a strong likelihood that College of the Canyons will not offer a winter intersession in 2013.
"With the level of uncertainty surrounding California's state budget, and the potential for state-mandated budget cuts to impact the college's future course offerings, students are encouraged to take advantage of this summer session to complete additional course units and get a jump start on their academic and career goals," said Audrey Green, associate vice president of academic affairs at the college.

The U.S. government says it has finally captured the mastermind behind the deadly 2012 attack on the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya, but many are now asking, what took them so long?
Ahmed Abu Khatallah, leader of an Islamist terror group in Libya, is now being held aboard a U.S. Navy ship in the Mediterranean. He had been sought by the United States for 21 months before U.S. Special Forces finally captured him.
"No matter how long it takes, we will find those responsible and we will bring them to justice," Obama said Tuesday.
And it took a long time to find a suspect who was described by CNN as "hiding in plain sight." Khatalla had done at least five news interviews with CNN and other news agencies before American leaders decided to finally move in and nab him.
"If a CNN reporter can interview with him openly in a cafe, why couldn't we get to him sooner?" Rep. Mike McCaul, R-Texas, said.
Pentagon spokesman John Kirby offered one excuse: "Terrorists go to great lengths to evade capture. It can be a complicated process trying to get at them."
But it wasn't complicated at all for reporters to get to Khatalla.
Another excuse put forward by the White House is that the capture was delayed after public outrage in Libya over a video of the takedown of another accused terrorist in Tripoli last October.
Republican leaders are not only concerned with how long it took this administration to capture Khatalla, but with what they'll do with him next.
"He needs to be interrogated extensively, and I hope that will occur," Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said. "There has been a tendancy in this administration to treat these as a law enforcement matter. I hope they're not doing that."
U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed in the attack on the consulate in 2012. The Obama administration has also named about a dozen other suspects.
Judging by how long it took to apprehend Khattala, who walked freely through the streets of Libya, it could be a long time, if ever, before all of the other suspects are brought to justice.

4 bolts to the frame easy and just as described. 2 bolts fed thru tube to affix rearmost section not as described. Toyota put two bolts into that section of tube that make it difficult to feed the bolt and spacer with the ingenious wire arrangement that Curt included. The bolt and spacer need to be separated while in the tube in order to pass by the boltsthat impinge into the space. Without Toyota's bolts in the tube, would have been a 10 minute job total.

MPEG2 compression was added to the standard in 2003. It is now
incorporated into the standard volumes, but the supplement adding it is
JPEG2000 compression syntaxes are also included in the standard. I
don't recall seeing the addition of jpeg200 moving compression to the
standard. Doing a quick scan of dicom standard status list maintained
by David Clunie here
don't see it as a current work item.
There may have been some discussion of it in this newsgroup though.
Seems like I recall a comment about its compression performance or
quality being rather disappointing compared to other compression
schemes already present in the standard.

Chocolate S'more CupcakesAngie McGowan
We've been eating s'mores all week. We all have fun roasting our marshmallows over a stove burner with skewers after dinner. Today I wanted s'mores again, but I also wanted to make cupcakes for my son to celebrate a special milestone, his first full night in his own bed. We've been co-sleeping with him since he was born. It was easy when he was a baby, but lately he's been sleeping in between us stretched out lengthwise. It's been getting pretty annoying, but I have just been waking up in the middle of the night to correct him and lay him the right way. We've been talking to him everyday about sleeping by himself, but we never force him into anything at bedtime. Well anyway last night he decided he was going to sleep in his own bed. We didn't ask, or do anything, he just went in there and went to sleep. I was really happy, but kinda sad too he's growing up so fast.
For these cupcakes, I used box cake mix, something I use to do all the time but haven't in a while. I "doctored it up" so to speak by adding my own ingredients and ignoring the package directions. These cupcakes are not the cutest things when you remove from the oven. However, they're amazingly moist and have a great texture worthy of a s'mores cupcake.
Chocolate S'more Cupcakes
For Cupcakes (Can follow package directions on pre-made box mix or these directions)
1 box devil's food cake mix
1 box chocolate instant pudding mix
1 cup sour cream
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
Toppings (all are per cupcake)
1 large marshmallow
1 square of Hersheys chocolate bar
1 graham cracker
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix ingredients for cake. Add box mix, pudding mix, milk and sour cream to a bowl. Mix in stand mixer or with hand mixer. Add eggs one at a time until incorporated. Mix on medium until smooth, a few minutes. Fill cupcake liners about 2/3 full.
2. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and top with a large marshmallow. Turn broiler to low and place back in the oven until marshmallow is toasted.
3. Remove from oven and immediately add a square of chocolate and a graham cracker. Let cool about 15- 20 minutes before serving.

CFP: American Historical Association Meeting 2013, New Orleans, LA
Aftermaths: Everyday Lives, Memories and Conflicts in Transition
Recent events in North Africa and the Middle East - the "Arab Spring" of 2011, as well as the Iraq war of 2003 – have provided a powerful reminder of the complexities, contingencies and conflicts involved in the moments of dramatic regime change. This year also marks the twentieth anniversary of the collapse of the Soviet Union; two decades later, Russia – as well as the other nations of the former Eastern Bloc – remains "post-Soviet," still struggling to emerge from the legacies of the fallen regime.
Responding to the theme of the 2013 AHA Annual Meeting – "Lives, Places, Stories" – this panel explores the political, cultural and social dynamics of moments of dramatic transition, including revolution, military defeat, economic collapse, de-colonization and other instances of regime change. Instead of viewing these events from a top-down perspective focused on political and cultural elites, we propose to examine them from the bottom-up. How did the collapse of political authority express itself in a quotidian setting? What accommodations, adjustments or changes did individuals have to make, and equally, what were the possibilities for resistance? What conflicts did transitions create, and which social fault lines exposed? How did the experience of regime shape memories and legacies, and how have these been confronted by subsequent generations? Topics might include retributive violence, the "settling of scores" and purges (both "official" and "informal); counter-revolutionary insurgency; iconoclasm and other acts of damnatio memoriae; the re-emergence of civil society; and efforts at political, cultural and educational reform.
This session will be explicitly comparative, interdisciplinary and trans-national; submissions from any geographic or chronological context are therefore encouraged, as are those from other fields (e.g. sociology, anthropology, etc.).
For further information, or to submit a paper proposal, please contact:

Not all position battles happen on the court.
Rookie Kendall Marshall and veteran forward Jared Dudley don't even play the same position. But Twitter supremacy? That could be up for grabs.
"I got over here, and they were just like, 'Jared Dudley's the Twitter King' or 'The Sheriff,'" Marshall said. "I don't know if I'm going for that. I'm second to none. I'm extremely cocky when it comes to Twitter."
The pair are easily the team's two most prolific tweeters. Marshall, a rookie from North Carolina, has 124,646 followers. Dudley has 128,461.
Neither has the most on the team — former Laker Shannon Brown and former Rocket Luis Scola each top the 200,000 threshold — but Marshall and Dudley make up for it in production. Marshall has more than 10,000 tweets. Dudley has nearly 12,000.
"It's very fun," Marshall said. "I think it's a useful tool for fans to get to know you off the court. You get to show a different side, that you're more than just a basketball player. I love Twitter."
Marshall (@KButter5) joined the social media service in high school, and thought it was "stupid" at the time. But as he gained followers, he became a convert.
The best bet for any fans to get a follow is to kowtow to his interests: "People who are talking about basketball, talking about sneakers, making me laugh."
In person, Marshall is less exuberant than his Twitter feed suggests. He calls Twitter his family, where he can let loose.
Dudley (@JaredDudley619) sees a split personality.
"Kendall is like bipolar," Dudley said. "He's got a different personality off Twitter. On Twitter, you'd think he's a sociable guy. He's really a quiet guy. You can't be a social media guy if you're not sociable, right?"
Maybe that's trash talk from the reigning champion.
Maybe it's true.
"It takes me a while to warm up to people," Marshall added. "I can be very quiet and standoffish. On Twitter, I feel like that's my family. I'm very fun. I'm always talking on Twitter. I guess you could say I'm two different people."
A good way to warm up to new teammates? Follow them on Twitter. Marshall tried that with Scola, Goran Dragic and Marcin Gortat, but ran into a bit of a hurdle.
"I don't know what they're saying on their Twitter," Marshall said. "It's all in different languages."
It's safe to say that when they want the ball, they'll tell the young point guard in person.

MOBILE, Ala. -- Mobile police have recovered the vehicle stolen in a Thursday night car jacking near Murphy High School that left two victims uninjured, authorities said today.
Officers arrested Cardell Lindsay III, 19, at about 1 a.m. Friday for first-degree receiving stolen property, second-degree marijuana possession, failure to obey and resisting arrest. Police are investigating whether he was the car jacker or an accomplice in the robbery, spokeswoman Kara Fagan said today.
At about 10:30 last night, the victims walked out of the The Joe Jefferson Playhouse on South Carlen Street and into a parking lot on the block when three males approached them, producing pistols and demanding their property, according to a news release. The two complied and the robbers drove off in a 2003 red Dodge Stratus belonging to one of victims.
Officers spotted the Stratus driving up Springhill Avenue at about 1 a.m. Friday, according to the news release. Although they stopped the vehicle and apprehended Lindsay, the two other men in the car escaped on foot.
Police have not yet determined whether the three men who stole the vehicle are the same ones whom police found in the vehicle on Springhill Avenue, Fagan said.
The victim has gotten his vehicle back, according to Fagan.
One of the men involved in the car jacking is described by police as six feet tall, and the other two are described as five feet and 10 inches tall. All three are described as black and having worn bandanas over their face and hair and in dark clothing.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- The parents of an autistic man who died after being put in a fatal chokehold at a Staten Island mental health unit vowed to continue their quest for justice after learning today that the supervisor who restrained him will avoid jail.
Sharon Rowe and Courtney Rowe said they were "deeply saddened and disappointed" by prosecutors' plea deal with Erik Stanley.
Stanley, 38, was charged in connection with the Dec. 4, 2010, death of Jawara Henry, 27. Henry was a resident of the state-run Multiple Disabilities Unit at 777 Seaview Ave., Ocean Breeze.
"These facilities and the people that are in charge, and to whom we entrust the safety and well-being of our loved ones, should be held to account for their failure to adequately train and supervise their personnel and for their inability to protect these innocent, defenseless and disabled persons like our son, Jawara Henry," said the victim's mother and stepfather in a statement released by their lawyer, Gary J. Douglas of Manhattan.
"If we do nothing, then it will not be a question of, 'Will this happen again?' but 'When will it happen again?' The medical examiner ruled this a homicide. We know who the person is that was responsible for that homicide. Yet, the district attorney's office will not prosecute. Our search for justice for Jawara Henry will not end here," the couple said.
Prosecutors accused Stanley of improperly restraining Henry, who was agitated at the time.
The city medical examiner's office ruled Henry's death a homicide, determining he died of asphyxiation by neck and chest compression.
In July, a grand jury indicted Stanley on a felony charge of criminally negligent homicide, along with a misdemeanor count of endangering the welfare of an incompetent or physically disabled person.
Stanley, of Middletown, N.J., pleaded guilty today in state Supreme Court, St. George to the misdemeanor charge.
According to authorities, the incident was set in motion when Henry began acting erratically and bit two fellow patients when staff tried to calm him. He had bitten Stanley.
The staff notified a doctor and requested medicine for Henry, and three staff members tried to hold him down while they administered that medicine, said a law enforcement source.
Stanley restrained Henry by putting one arm behind his neck, another in front of his neck, forcing him flat on his stomach, and getting on top of him, a law enforcement source said.
Peter N. Spencer, spokesman for District Attorney Daniel Donovan today said several issues arose as prosecutors began preparing the case for trial, leading them to believe they couldn't prove the criminally negligent homicide charge beyond a reasonable doubt.
In addition, Stanley was an experienced supervisor who was trying to restrain an aggressive patient to prevent him from hurting himself and others, said Spencer
"We would have to prove that during a rapidly unfolding situation, the defendant failed to perceive a substantial and unjustifiable risk by not following protocol precisely, and that risk was of such nature and degree that the failure to perceive it constituted a gross deviation from the standard of care that a reasonable person would observe in that situation," Spencer said.
The spokesman said the plea holds Stanley accountable for his actions and will prevent him "from ever working in a similar capacity again."
The defendant potentially faced a maximum of one and a third to four years in prison if convicted at trial of criminally negligent homicide.
Under the agreement, Stanley will be sentenced to a one-year conditional discharge and fined $750, said Spencer. Sentencing is set for April 30 in state Supreme Court, St. George.
"We respect the district attorney but are deeply disappointed in the result," said Douglas, the victim's family's lawyer, in a statement.
Stanley's lawyer, Matthew J. Santamauro, declined comment on the plea.
Henry's family has sued the state in the New York Court of Claims.
They contend his death was the tragic culmination of a pattern of abuse and neglect, and drew parallels to the notoriously deplorable conditions at Willowbrook State School in the 1970s. Henry, they allege, suffered a variety of injuries while at the Multiple Disabilities Unit, including a burn mark on his leg and a forehead injury.
State officials have described the Multiple Disabilities Unit as an intermediate-care facility that provides residential and intensive behavioral and psychiatric treatment for people diagnosed with both a mental illness and a developmental disability.
The Multiple Disabilities Unit falls under the purview of the state Office for People with Developmental Disabilities.
An agency spokesman said today it is seeking Stanley's termination through an ongoing arbitration process. He remains suspended with pay.
The spokesman declined comment on the victim's family's lawsuit.

COLUMBIA - The Senate panel looking into Department of Social Services dealings continues its meetings today.
As promised by the panel's chair, Sen. Tom Young, R-Aiken, the DSS Oversight Committee will meet today at 9 a.m., even though the legislature is not in session. At least three people are expected to testify, including Jessica Hanak-Coulter, the agency's deputy director.
Hanak-Coulter is no stranger to the panel. She testified several times before then-Director Lillian Koller returned from medical leave in April. Koller stepped down from her position in June, saying her role as director was causing a distraction.
Amber Gillum, deputy state director for DSS' Economic Services, has served as the agency's interim director until a permanent replacement is appointed. Gov. Nikki Haley said in June the search for a new director was ongoing.
Today's hearing will take place in Columbia and will be broadcast for those who wish to watch from afar.

ANAHEIM, Calif. - There is no more appropriate cross section to illustrate Antonio Bastardo's maddening fluctuation than the previous eight days. He struck out six batters in two innings on Aug. 5; pitched a scoreless inning on Friday; suffered an 11th-inning loss the next day; rebounded with a scoreless inning on Monday; and endured the ignominy of a five-run disaster on Tuesday night.
Ryne Sandberg heaped praise upon Bastardo for the better part of two weeks in July, a time when the Phillies shopped their lefthanded reliever. He, like the rest of his teammates, remained. His future with the organization, which signed him for $7,000 in 2005 from the Dominican Republic, is in doubt.

North-South factions form in Big 12 site discussion
The idea of making Cowboys Stadium the permanent home of the Big 12 championship game is being floated again this week, as the venue prepares to host for the first time Saturday and with the 2010 matchup booked for Arlington as well.
Reaction depends on where the question is being asked - North or South.
"I'm not for that," said Nebraska coach Bo Pelini, who's bringing his Cornhuskers to Arlington to face Texas. "Kansas City, somewhere up in the north, where it's a little closer for our fans.
"I'm sure the stadium is a nice venue. I haven't been there yet. But it's not the only stadium ever built, either."
UT coach Mack Brown felt differently.
"People will think that the Texas coach wanting it in Dallas is self-serving," he said. "But I think an indoor arena at this time of year, to make sure that the weather isn't a factor ... [the] change is something I would be 100 percent for."
Dan Beebe, the Big 12 commissioner, has said he expects the possibility to be discussed in the coming months.
Location hasn't affected the outcome of late. The South has won five straight titles by a combined 234-51. UT is favored Saturday by two touchdowns.
"If they won it, that's cause they earned it," NU linebacker Phillip Dillard said. "But it hasn't been determined til we go out there and kick off."
Staying in Austin: UT defensive coordinator Will Muschamp knocked down reports he might be a head coaching candidate at Notre Dame or another school.
"I'm going to be at Texas," said Muschamp, Brown's designated successor.
Muschamp also took responsibility for the defense's struggles in a 49-39 win over Texas A&M on Thanksgiving. Texas gave up 532 yards.
"We obviously had some miscommunications, missed assignments, missed alignments, 13 missed tackles," Muschamp said.
Distraction watch: Two Texas freshmen, kickoff returner D.J. Monroe and defensive back Marcus Davis, are suspended indefinitely after November arrests.
"I told the team your focus needs to be on your family, your faith, your grades and your team," Brown said. "These seniors have worked way too hard for freshmen to be a distraction."

After losing 6-3 center Diego Gonzalez, it has been a rough start to 2013 for the Noble Wildcats, who suffered a 55-26 Midland Trail Conference setback Friday night at Odin before falling to Webber Township 64-32 on Tuesday in an MTC contest at West Richland High School.
"We're trying to find ourselves again," Noble head coach Andrew Kapper said. "Diego, our foreign exchange student, moved out of the district over Christmas break.
"It's tough but we'll keep playing hard, gaining experience and getting better. Our players will have to keep stepping out of their comfort zone if they want to grow as players and get better."
Odin led 13-9 after the first quarter, 29-12 at the half and 38-18 heading into the final stanza.
Freshman guard Dustin Quick pumped in 21 points for the Eagles (8-3, 3-0 MTC) while Devin Williams (13) and Austin Perkins (13) combined for 26.
Hunter Kinkade nailed Noble's only three-pointer and finished with eight points to pace the Wildcats.
"We struggle to put the ball in the hole at times," Kapper said. "We're small at all five spots and sometimes we just don't see the passing angles or the open man."
Noble scoring: Hunter Kinkade, 8; Brock VanBlaricum, 6; Blake Lamb, 4; Arthur Spring, 4; Beau VanBlaricum, 4
Odin scoring: Dustin Quick, 21; Austin Perkins, 13; Devin Williams, 13; Ike Margrum, 4; Chase Horton, 2; Gavin Wood, 2
The Wildcats (2-10, 1-4) dug themselves an early hole, trailing 16-5 at the end of the first quarter. Noble sliced the deficit to 24-18 near the three-minute mark in the second period but got outscored 36-14 in the second half.
"Give Webber (2-9, 0-3) and coach Chad Harper a lot of credit," Kapper said "They've gotten a lot better over the past month. They capitalized on our mistakes."
Brock VanBlaricum (15 points) buried two treys for the Wildcats.
Noble scoring: Brock VanBlaricum, 15; Beau VanBlaricum, 8; Arthur Spring, 6; Blake Lamb, 3

As per
Welcome back to Steepskiing.com It has been almost a year since I have updated my life hear on the site. This has mainly been due to the fact that I spent the last year pursuing a rather hefty goal. For those of you that haven't seen or followed my Ski The 14ers project, I spent all of 2006 and the first month of 2007 attempting to climb and ski all 54 Colorado 14,000' peaks. In the end I was successful in my goal and I have posted every trip report from every peak on the project website at http://www.skithe14ers.com Lou Dawson was the only person before me to complete this goal, and he took twelve years to pull it off. There has been tons of great media coverage of the project, including stories in the New York Times, Denver Post, Men's Journal Magazien, Outside Magazine, Powder, Skiing, and many others. I had so much fun with these mountains and all of the friends that shared the experience with me that I have decided to attempt to climb and ski all 15 California 14,000' peaks this April, 2007, as well as Mt. Rainier, in Washington, with the goal of becoming the first person ever to have skied every 14,000' peak in the USA. (lower 48 that is)

A mood of unpredictability can interfere with your ability to objectively judge the events unfolding around you today. Your disposition can fluctuate wildly, carried along on the tide of the situations in which you find yourself. Yet your changeable emotional state is likely nothing to worry about in the short term. Consider taking some time to yourself in order to regain your internal equilibrium through meditation, deep breathing, or quiet reflection. As you realize how your mood is affecting your choices and responses today, you may find it becomes easier to regulate the pitch of your feelings. Your ability to stabilize your emotions can help you move through your day more confidently and with a more refined attitude of control.
When our emotions are in equilibrium, our actions and reactions tend to be appropriate to what is happening around us. In an imbalanced state, we are more likely to overreact to both positive and negative stimuli. We can predict with some degree of certainty, however, the scope and strength of our response to incidents occurring in our environment when we have taken the time to equalize our feelings. We neither carry unnecessary pain nor fear of letting go of the happiness we feel because we understand that both emotions commonly perceived as good and those labeled bad are simply a part of the natural course of life. As a result, we embrace the feelings that are fitting for the moment. The balanced nature of your emotions will ensure that the feelings you have today are genuine and reliable.

Something you don't like about yourself and it bugs you. Don't worry everyone has flaws.
Person 1: I hate my body. I feel to fat and some times I feel to skinny.
Person 2: My Flaws is my teeth. They're too crooked and I need braces.

We use this to steam live to an external streaming service and we love it. It is very easy to use and streams good quality. Check it out at www.polr.org.
The command-line version of Windows Media Encoder produces stellar video and audio quality if you know what you're doing! This encoder makes Windows Media the most underrated codec out there! Most people don't realize that this is the exact same encoding engine used with HD-DVD and Blu-ray releases. And here it is...free for the taking from Microsoft. Take advantage, people! This is the real McCoy for Windows Media encoding if you can't drop the coin on the new Expression Encoder with the nice point-n-click GUI.
With a little help from guides it is possible to create very good video from several common sources.
Encode speed for single pass WMV 9 is comparable to TMpeg on Motion Estimate Search for MPEG2 at same resolution input/output and no resizing or filters.
Encode speed for 2 pass is longer (5-6x original movie time on my Athlon 1.33 GHz). However, when compared to TMpeg using resizing and SOME filters, WMV 9 encodes much faster than TMpeg doing MPEG2.
I've observed WMV file sizes 30-50% smaller than MPEG2 at comparable bitrates.
Visual quality of the video is noticeably better than MPEG2, even when using filters and highest quality in TMpeg.
On the downside, if you are familiar with MPEG2 encoding, there is a little bit of a learning curve to go into WMV9, but not too much.
On the downside, WMV 9 encoder defaults to a fairly SOFT image quality. Change this to sharp or sharper settings (75-85 or better) to get better image quality.
One preferential note: not as many processing controls as TMpeg, but these can be done using other apps like VirtualDub, TMpeg etc, prior to encoding. Besides, some people prefer this anyway.
This program encodes perfectly fine for me...there are some faster ones out there, but this isn't a gimp or anything...then again, noting ghostlamp, I'm running an AW =P.
I give this program a D. It is made for the person with a 4 ghz computer. You cant do any large screen output file conversions without a serious system. Windows recommends a 2ghz Dual processors computer. Most people barely have 2 gig systems. I tried it and was watching as I closed all programs and it still sucked up 100% usage for only a 800kbps convert to 640 size. I played it back and it was choppy. Plus you have to do two passes which will take you twice as long as a trial program.
I used AVS Convert to get a smooth 640 size 2mbps video. Sometimes you get what you pay for. Leave this program to those with an alienware system or equivalent.
Great results though a rather slow encoder, IMO it's responsible for many of the quality improvements with winmedia 9 - try the 2 pass vbr with version 7.1, 8, or mpg4 and be surprised. Winmedia 9 encoder plugins do not always work the same magic, so I still prefer this free tool from MS.
5.1/6.1 audio works great on systems with XP, downsamples well in other versions or where 2 speakers avail, though multichannel audio is not intuitive to enable - have to select encode from device and file, choose Professional audio codec, then optionally cbr for more bitrate/sample choices.
Needs work: Encoder can be very picky with source avi files, especially in my experience when/if you add a leader (ie: a second or so of black frames) before the video - I *think* the encoder reads initial silence in the audio track as no audio present & crashes.

Renaissance Verona: "her rare ornaments in every age of illustrious men"
Important since pre-Roman times because of her tactically and commercially advantageous position, Verona was subject to the Republic of Venice from 1405, more Veneto. She should not, however, be seen as a provincial backwater during the Renaissance. The most populous city under the Republic aside from the capital, Verona brought economic advantages to Venice through her position on Dante's "swift- flowing Adige" at the crux of important commercial routes and through her manufacturing of such basic items as iron, wool and silk. Her history as a flourishing Roman city and prosperous late medieval state under the Scaligers provided cultural riches matched by in the Renaissance by her many learned and talented residents. Among them were the scholar Guarino Guarini, a sophisticated circle of churchmen that included Bishop Matteo Giberti and Cardinal Ludovico Canossa, and a group of scholars of antiquity, centered about nobleman Giuseppe della Torre and artist Giovanni Caroto (only one of the many artists and architects of Verona who embellished the city, the capital and the Veneto).
This interdisciplinary session (s) will focus on Verona's importance during the period 1300-1600: as a cultural center in her own right and as a valuable contributor of talent and goods to the Republic of Venice and beyond. Papers are invited that explore any aspect: from arti of all sorts to scholarship to literary, scientific and musical achievements.
To be considered for this session, please send as attachments to email: a 200-word abstract of your paper, your cv, and full contact information, to both organizers: Heather Nolin (firstname.lastname@example.com) and Diana Gisolfi (email@example.com) by May 25th.

Wooden Birdhouse Cottage
By: Heidi Borchers
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Make crafts for outdoor decorations - it's an inexpensive way to make your garden shine during the summer. Create a Wooden Birdhouse Cottage from Heidi Borchers that you can hang on your porch and display all season long. It's both pretty and rustic.
- Aleene's Super Thick Tacky Glue
- Craft sticks
- Craft knife and ruler
- Wire cutters
- Toothpick
- Wooden mini birdhouse
- Plastic fairy
- Acrylic paint – black, white, brown
- Paint brush (fine tip and 1/2″ shader)
- Sheet moss
- Silk flowers
- Use ruler and pencil to draw straight lines from birdhouse opening to bottom. Use craft knife to score/cut along pattern lines. It is best to use a sharp craft knife for this step so that it will cleanly cut through the wood.
- If needed, use pliers to pull cut piece from birdhouse.
- Continue to pull away cut piece and do not worry if it does not come out completely clean. You will be gluing craft sticks over the cut edges.
- Using your sharp craft knife, you should be able to cut away a section that looks like this.
- For an added effect of the look of wood, I glued craft sticks to the outside of the birdhouse. Mark, measure and cut your craft sticks with wire cutters.
- In this step, I have cut and glued three craft sticks to the front right. You can see how the craft sticks slightly cover the opening so if you have any rough cut edges, you can see how the craft sticks will cover them. I like to apply the Aleene's Super Thick Tacky glue to the back of my craft sticks with a toothpick.
- For the roof detail, I cut varied lengths of craft sticks and glued them to the rooftop.
- To create a weathered wood look, use a fine brush to paint black along the edges of the craft sticks. Let dry. Paint with a white wash of white. I also used my Aleene's Super Thick Tacky Glue to glue pieces of moss over sections of the roof.
- You can also glue several pieces of craft sticks together to create a "Fairy Cottage" sign. I used a black permanent marker for the lettering and I painted it with the same white wash.
- Paint rope hanger brown. For a pretty touch on your Fairy Cottage, glue silk flowers over the moss.
For a comprehensive video tutorial of this project, check out How to Make a Birdhouse Fairy Cottage.

The Thunder's Brett Marshall and Binghamton's Collin McHugh put on pitching clinic yesterday, but it was the B-Mets who came away with the 1-0 walk-off victory in front of 1,615 at NYSEG Stadium.
After Marshall allowed just two hits over seven innings with a walk and two strikeouts, Preston Claiborne (1-2) — after a scoreless eighth — loaded the bases in the ninth. Matt den Dekker reached him for a leadoff double. That was followed by a bunt single by Josh Rodriguez and a walk to Reese Havens which led to Jefry Marte's RBI single to deep right.
At one point, Marshall retired 13 consecutive B-Mets batters.
McHugh went seven innings while allowing six hits. He fanned six and walked one. Bradley Holt (1-0) picked up the win.
Site: NYSEG Stadium.
Time: 6:35 p.m.
Starting pitchers: Thunder RHP Cory Arbiso (1-0, 2.67) at Binghamton RHP Zach Wheeler (2-2, 2.05).

50 Photos of Adorable Babies
Babies are one of the most beautiful and innocent belonging of human life and baby photography is one of the wonderful job in the world. Capturing them in different fascinating poses is an amazing task. Though it seems interesting but it needs patience to capture their innocent smiles and lovely moments and can often takes hours of hard work. Sweet smile of baby in a beautiful pose is the desire of every parent. Baby photos always catch the attention of everyone whether they are taken in a costume of Halloween or any other customary dresses.
Taking baby pictures with vibrant background or capturing them in natural background is the idyllic option. Most of the parents are careless in taking even single photograph of their babies in their early life but I think special moment of your child should be captured and can be turned into sweet memories. Here we are presenting 50 breathtaking baby pictures in different poses. Hope you all will enjoy these.

That's right, the Wall Street Journal reports, $2 billion of your tax dollars will soon be going to the state-owned Brazilian oil company, Petrobras so they can explore the off-shore Tupi oil field in the Santos Basin. The WSJ wrote, "The U.S. Export-Import Bank tells us it has issued a 'preliminary commitment' letter to Petrobras in the amount of $2 billion and has discussed with Brazil the possibility of increasing that amount." This money will come either in the form of a direct loan or loan guarantees.

Ok allow me to explain, this is likely going to be a daily post, at the very least until the college pro days are over, but more likely until draft day. In these daily news articles I will post any and all information I learn about the Jaguars as they continue to scout and prepare for the NFL Draft on April 28. The posts will be updated sporadically throughout the day with the time in which the new information is found. For example:
2:35 PM ET – A source tells me that the Jaguars sent every scout they have to watch Maurice Jones-Drew do a cartwheel at his pro day at UCLA today.
While I spent most of the last couple days allowing for my site to move over to its new home at Bloguin, I was still able to pull together a couple little bits of information. There's not going to be any times on this post because it's all coming at you at once. Ready?
Bo Marchionte of NFLDraftBible is reporting that the Jaguars are scheduled to meet with Jacksonville State CB T.J. Heath on April 19. Heath is a 6'0, 172 cornerback who might also make a transition to free safety due to his size. His pro day is April 7 and will be important to see whether or not he has the athleticism to warrant the use of a draft pick.
Multiple sources have reported that scouts from all 32 NFL teams were in attendance for both the Virginia Tech and the Stanford pro days. Among the prospects from both schools, Stanford FB Owen Marecic and Virginia Tech QB Tyrod Taylor are players that the Jaguars have shown prior interest in. Aaron Wilson of National Football Post reported that Taylor is scheduled to have a private meeting with the Jaguars sometime between now and the draft.
The Jaguars did not, however, choose to attend the California (PA), Albany State or Montana State pro days. California (PA)'s Pro Day drew scouts from the Packers and Eagles, but none other. The most notable prospect from the school is QB Josh Portis; however, Portis choose not to participate in the pro day, having participated in another school's pro day on the day prior. Albany State drew scouts from the Giants, Seahawks and Colts.
That's all I got for today, but tune in all day tomorrow for updates as I hear them. Also, if you're interested in reading articles from the older version of TheJaggernaut.com, they have all been moved over to the archives here. The draft interests page has also been moved, but the links are currently not functional. Give me a little bit of time and I should have them up and firing in no time. Thanks for stopping by.

Why reblue, because if I'm paying someone to do this kind of work on my rifle I want it to come back looking like a new rifle. I don't like pulling my action out of the stock all the time (especially if if the rifle is shooing very well) when I clean to make sure rust hasn't started on the metal I exposed. Bluing protects metal and it doesn't take long for rust to get started even in a dry climate let alone a wet and humid one on metal in the white.
Or you could push the follower down and wipe the bottom of the rail with a oily rag.

The Brazilian condom manufacturer Olla is recalling 620,000 condoms from the market because of a possible defect in quality control that could compromise their security.
"The recall is a preventive measure since a possible lapse in quality has been identified that could make the product unfit for use," Olla, one of the biggest condom manufacturers in the country, said in a communique.
The manufacturer said that the items with possible defects belong to five different lots of lubricated condoms that were distributed in promotional packs of eight for the price of six.
"Should any product from these lots be located, Olla tells consumers not to use it, to keep it in its packaging and contact our customer service in order to return it and receive a product replacement at no cost," the communique said.
Olla acknowledged having become aware of the problem after an increase in the number of customer complaints.
Recalls, a requirement of Brazilian authorities in cases of manufacturing problems that is increasingly common for automobiles, is unprecedented for condoms.
