Dean, 87, and his wife Donna, 78, would ritualistically arrive every 3 months in my geriatrics clinic, rain or shine. They had been married for 61 years. They lived in the same home for all these blissful years and took great pride in that. From the beginning, Donna ably presumed the spokesperson's role and impressed me as a reliable and caring informant who knew Dean more than he knew himself. These interactions spanned over 4 years. The staff became accustomed to the couple's regular presence and even grew quite fond and sympathetic of their changing dynamics and physical, functional, sensory, and mental declines.

Thanks to Dr. Battar for describing a common yet frightening problem that geriatricians frequently see. It would have been interesting to know if Dr. Battar treated Dean with an antidepressant and/or a cholinesterase inhibitor; if so, was there any response? Also, referring Dean to a day care program for Alzheimer's patients might have been helpful as if might have alleviated the burnout that Donna experienced.

Guest Voice: We don't need guns in schools
A public hearing at Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania on June 6 provided an opportunity for people concerned with school safety to give testimony to the Pennsylvania House Select Committee on School Safety. As the superintendent of the Clairton City School District, I was privileged to be allowed to testify before the committee on this important topic.
The issue of safety is constantly on the mind of any school administrator, but particularly so in the wake of the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. While an incident like that one may require a response, our responses must be well-reasoned and appropriate to the situation of each unique school environment. What it does not require is a knee-jerk reaction.
In the rush to "fix" school security, many suggestions are being made that don't take into account the already-secure environment in which the overwhelming majority of our students attend school. Some of these suggestions would make our schools less safe for our students, faculty and staff. One proposal is that every school should be required to have armed personnel. The theory is that having an armed person inside the building would give schools the ability to stop an intruder. Unfortunately, we don't know that the person would be in the right place at the right time to be of any help on the extremely rare occasion when such an incident might occur.
What we do know with certainty is that this armed person would bring a gun into the school building every day. In general, my belief is that the answer to the problem of too many guns is not "more guns." With all of the time, energy and money that we spend trying to keep guns out of our school buildings, is it wise to put someone on the payroll for the express purpose of bringing a gun in?
Having a gun in school poses safety risks to the school community, even if we trust the person carrying the weapon. In the course of a school day, armed security could become separated from the gun, through carelessness, accident or attack.
Instead, my school district has instituted prevention efforts that make sense. I work in a poor, urban school district. Some years ago, through the use of grant money, the district acquired metal detectors; these are stationed at school entrances. People entering the building are required to go through metal detectors and possibly submit to a search. Everyone complies, and it works. During my tenure, we have not had a single incident of a gun being found in someone's possession inside the school building.
Another alternative to arming ourselves might be to develop a better and more appropriate relationship with local law enforcement so that police are called in only for actual police matters. The relationship between my school district and the police department used to be quite strained. The administration of the school has made a concerted effort to change it. We communicate with the police in a way that lets them know that we understand their concerns.
We went from a situation where the police were being called every day to one in which it is a rare occasion that we have to call them. We have been able to create a positive environment and at the same time reduce disciplinary problems significantly.
In part, our positive environment was created by recognizing and responding to the less-than-positive environment from which many of our students come. In my school district, more than 90 percent of our students qualify for free or reduced-price meals under the Federal School Lunch Program, the most common measure of the wealth of a district.
We have students who come to us hungry, tired, and from homes that are chaotic and where education is not necessarily valued. Dealing with these human needs has to be a higher priority than putting an armed guard in our halls. Although safety is one of our top concerns, a show of force is not necessarily the best way of dealing with the needs of our school community.
We provide a helpful and nurturing environment for our students. They feel safe when they come to school. You may sometimes read headlines in the newspaper that trumpet, "Clairton schools on lockdown." Yes, when there is some emergency in the community, the police call and ask us to lock down the schools, thereby keeping our students in the building.
That is a pretty trustworthy testimonial to the fact that our schools are already considered a very safe place to be. Let's work together to keep them that way. The House hearings are a good first step to keep everyone in on the conversation.
WAYDE KILLMEYER has a doctorate in educational leadership from Duquesne University in Pittsburgh. He is entering his ninth year as a school superintendent, currently serving in the Clairton City School District.

Apple asks the full Court of Appeals to reverse the decision not to ban the Samsung GALAXY Nexus
0. phoneArena 07 Jan 2013, 17:04 posted on
Apple has filed with the full Federal Circuit Court of Appeals to reexamine a previous ruling made in October not to place an injunction on the Samsung GALAXY Nexus; that decision, made by a three judge panel of the court, set a legal precedent that allows Samsung to keep selling its products while preparing for atrial against Apple next year...

LMFAO. What a bunch of pathetic little crybabies! Waaaah we didn't get our way so we'll kick scream and cry and waste the courts time until we do!
Joke company. This is one of the big reasons they are losing market share and the stock is plummetting. Spend less time litigating, more time designing new products/features and not just resizing the ipod/pad.

"If Apple fails to get a ruling for the en banc hearing, it can ask the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the case which would be quite unlikely."
Really? I wouldn't be surprised if they did.
15. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
And just why would the Supremes be interested in intervening in a pissing match over a sales ban?
22. Sailingmaster (Posts: 24; Member since: 26 Feb 2012)
Oh I could easily see Apple appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court. But, I don't see the Supreme Court actually hearing the case.
26. timtimity (Posts: 196; Member since: 13 Aug 2012)
Yeah, that's what I meant (I could have clarified it better). I can imagine Apple asking the Supreme Court. I can't see them doing anything about it though.

So when is Google going to get the patent for drop down notification bar and gets every iPhones banned?
8. blingblingthing (Posts: 531; Member since: 23 Oct 2012)
I think that patent is still in review to be granted.
33. frydaexiii (Posts: 1444; Member since: 01 Dec 2011)
I think the only reason it's still in review after being filed for so long is because they know what will happen the moment the patent is granted, and will have no choice but to ban iPhones since Apple is so openly guilty of violating the patent and are not innovative enough to come up with a workaround.
35. anywherehome (Posts: 971; Member since: 13 Dec 2011)
it means they patent every iSh*t so the patent office must be bribed by Apple + Microsoft = pure Evil
how is it to live in such a rotten country which lied about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq so they caused (murdered) thousands because of intentional lie??
37. anywherehome (Posts: 971; Member since: 13 Dec 2011)
They=Apple, not Google :-)
38. iCandy (Posts: 46; Member since: 07 Dec 2011)
I believe Samsung is bringing a case against Apple for that patent as a proxy since Google, not making money from Android, can't argue damages.

This must be their "counter event" for all the sweet Android Magic coming to us @ CES 2013.

Would be cheaper for apple, and more entertaining for the iUsers if apple just included a box of crayons in the box.
19. dragonscourgex (Posts: 307; Member since: 16 Jan 2012)
I think if Apple would cut all this court stuff out, and get rid of all the legal bills, they could most likely reduce the cost of their products.
23. Droiddoes (unregistered)
They could but they won't. We're talking about the company that literally charges $100 for 16GB of memory.
21. cripton805 (Posts: 1440; Member since: 18 Mar 2012)
The case will get thrown out because the Galaxy Nexus probably won't be produced anymore by the time they are done with the case.
Judge Koh doesn't even seem to know much about technology anyway.

What ever apple NOW u ask to stop the BAN when the GALAXY NEXUS isn't on sale now the LG NEXUS 4 is on sale. JUST ADMIT THAT YOU'RE afraid of COMPETITION and DON'T WANT to see your greedy STOCK plumit
28. opensourceftw (banned) (Posts: 148; Member since: 01 Jan 2013)
While you are correct, obviously their strategy of "f*ck making a quality, innovative product let's just ban and sue our way to the top" is not working for them. They are losing market share and their stock is plummeting daily, so I say let em continue. Yeah it's irritating as all hell, but they are only hurting themselves and more importantly, they are hurting their fans by giving them the same boring resized sh*t year after year.
The best thing apple can do for their competition is carry on as they have been the last year >:)
32. MorePhonesThanNeeded (Posts: 645; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
It's a strategy thing, if they can get the Galaxy Nexus banned they can use that ruling to wreak havoc with other phones in the Android line, including other manufacturers. These are all strategic plan by Apple's lawyers, come on now they won a case with a bar napkin drawing, they will try anything to net some strategic advantage.
30. Zero0 (Posts: 592; Member since: 05 Jul 2012)
Great. Because a phone that's barely even available anymore is worth asking to be banned.
31. networkdood (Posts: 6330; Member since: 31 Mar 2010)
Hey APPLE, meanwhile, the rest of the world wants a Nexus 4 - how do you like them apples?
36. JunkCreek (Posts: 407; Member since: 13 Jul 2012)
In Court, if in one case, you won, then the case get elevated to be valid method to the future case. So i Think, Apple looking for this reason. Apple can ban one the dated device so Apple can banned future device, regardless the device manufacture/brand/name.

SALINEVILLE - Hoping to better acquaint residents with village operations while giving them a chance to voice their concerns, Mayor Mary Smith has scheduled a community meeting for 10 a.m. Saturday at Village Hall.
"This meeting is for the citizens and businesses to attend and voice any concerns they may have, see what we are currently working on, take a tour of Village Hall, meet some of the employees, council, Board of Public Affairs (members)," Smith explained.
She said any concerns offered up by residents or business owners will be logged and then forwarded to the proper committee chairman and/or council for discussion at their upcoming meetings.
Smith said she is uncertain which, if any, council and BPA members will attend, but all have been apprised of the meeting.
She emphasized, "If council members come, there will be no discussions or deliberations. This is not considered a public meeting or a council meeting."
Saying she wants to "stay connected" with residents and business owners, Smith said she hopes holding quarterly community meetings "will help keep the connection going."

Some health concerns not an issue when donating blood
Think you're not a good candidate for blood donation? Think again. Sometimes, people with high blood pressure and diabetes suspect they are not eligible to give blood. Many cancer survivors say they also believe they will be deferred because of their previous illness.
"But that's not always the case," said Kathy Smith, collections director for the Western Lake Erie Region of American Red Cross. "We're working to dispel myths and to educate people about who can give blood and when."
In the United States, about 38 percent of the population is eligible to donate blood. The most common reason someone might not be able to give on any given day is low hemoglobin. And Red Cross officials say that measure of iron in red blood cells can often be improved by eating more iron-rich foods or by talking to your doctor about taking iron supplements.
Donors with high blood pressure, for instance, can give blood as long as their condition is controlled. And diabetics can give if their blood sugar is controlled with diet, oral medication or with most insulins. Some cancer survivors can also donate. Donors with a history of nonhematologic cancer must be cancer-free for one year, have completed all their treatments, and meet all other eligibility criteria.

New Yorker essayist to visit 'Berg
Two-time Thurber Award-winning author Ian Frazier is to visit Heidelberg University Nov. 3 for a master class, a keynote lecture and a book signing.
Described as "America's greatest essayist" and "a great story teller," Frazier has been an essayist for the New Yorker since 1974. He won acclaim for his collections of essays and books, most recently, "Travels in Siberia" (2010). He received the Thurber award in 2009 for "Lamentations of the Father" and in 1997 for "Coyote v. Acme."
Born in Hudson, Frazier documented his connection to Tiffin and Heidelberg in his 1994 memoir, "Family." His maternal great-grandfather, O.A.S. Hursh, was a professor of religion and philosophy at Heidelberg from 1867 until his death in 1882. The family built a home on Greenfield Street on the site of what is now Miller Residence Hall. Frazier's grandfather, O.C. Hursh, graduated from Columbian High School and Heidelberg. His great aunts lived in the home until Heidelberg purchased it.
Frazier is to have a master class in Herbster Chapel 9:30-11 a.m., deliver "An Evening with Ian Frazier" 7:30-9 p.m. in Rickly Chapel and attend an afterglow reception and book signing at 9 p.m. in University Hall.

TU has Graduate Senate
Tiffin University's Graduate Senate is extending a global reach in academic development for the university's 15 master's degree programs delivered online, on campus and in satellite locations in Ohio, Taipei, Taiwan, and Bucharest, Romania. Now in its second year, TU Graduate Senate comprises 14 full and associate professors.
"During the past four months alone, Graduate Senate members have blazed a trail of professional development across the United States and in 12 countries in Europe and Asia," said Bonnie Tiell, dean of graduate studies and associate professor of management. "Faculty have taught overseas, participated in international conferences, coordinated graduation ceremonies, presented papers or presentations and collected scholarly research."
"The Graduate Senate develops and evaluates policies related to TU graduate admissions and academic performance standards," Tiell said "Members also develop and implement scholarly support programs to enhance both the academic climate and faculty-student interactions throughout Tiffin University's educational systems and processes."
In addition to working directly with students, since May, members of Graduate Senate have presented and published papers about such topics as global mobility for business practicums, coaching effectiveness, debt burdens and a lack of financial literacy, and managing business education.
A member co-authored the seventh edition of a book for McGraw Hill, another published an essay for a German business communication textbook, two members are contributing editors for business journals and one submitted a novel for publication. Other members are chairing leadership symposiums, co-producing a talk-radio show, producing book reviews and offering consulting work.
Members include Tiell; Jonathan Appel, associate professor of psychology and criminal justice; Liz Athaide-Victor, professor of psychology and criminal justice; Venkataramana Gajjala, associate professor of economics and finance; Perry Haan, professor of marketing; Keith Haley, chairman of master's of science in criminal justice and professor of criminal justice; Steve Hurwitz, professor of psychology and criminal justice; Fang-Mei Law, associate professor of psychology and criminal justice; Laura Mays, associate professor of management; Vince Moore, chairman of master's of humanities and associate professor of English; Teresa Shafer, associate dean of international business programs and professor of management; Jan Samoriski, professor of Communication; Lillian Schumacher, dean for the school of business and associate professor of management; and Jeff Stockner, professor of law and criminal justice.
Terra employees make donations
FREMONT - Several employees at Terra State Community College have shown their love for education and family members by purchasing the naming rights for rooms in the new Arts and Health Technologies Center.

Ben Randolph, dean of business, engineering technologies and work force development, and his wife, Sharon, donated $7,000 to name June V. Randolph Study Room.
The full-time English faculty chose to donate $5,000 to name Audio Studio. One of the primary uses of the studio is to be for faculty to have a state-of-the-art facility in which to record course content material for use in distance learning classes and for use in digitally enhanced, seated classes as well.
All of the current full-time members of the department donated equally. They are Assistant Professor Pete Landino, Professor Mohr, Instructor Mike Ryan, Associate Professor Sharla Shine and Instructor Kim Vogelpohl.

TU professor serves as lead author
Tiffin University Professor Fang-Mei Law has published the results of a study that is to help guide the development and direction of future criminal justice education programs.
Law is the lead author of the new paper, "Factors Influencing Interest in Research among Criminal Justice Students," which appears in the September issue of "Journal of Criminal Justice Education" (Vol. 22 Issue 3). She published the paper with her husband, Gwo-Jen Guo.
In the paper, Law notes the criminal justice system is moving toward being more scientifically oriented, with research methodology being a valuable tool in enabling criminal justice professionals to assess the needs in developing the direction of the field.
"It is essential that criminal justice students receive effective training in research to gain sufficient knowledge and acquire adequate skills in research methodology throughout their professional development," she said.
The paper explores the factors influencing research interest among criminal justice students. Based on their findings, the authors have proposed ways educators in the criminal justice field can further enhance the research interest among their students.

Queen Guest On Hawkins New AlbumRed Light Fever
Second Album From Foo Fighters' Drummer and Friends
Out April 20 On Shanabelle/RCA
A year in the making, the second effort from Foo Fighters' Taylor Hawkins and his Coattail Riders, Red Light Fever, is now scheduled for an April 20 release on Shanabelle/RCA Records.
Hawkins began demoing tracks on his own when an early 2009 break from the Foo Fighters' grueling touring schedule finally freed up the time. According to Hawkins, who of course provides drums and vocals on all tracks among other additional instrumentation, "About halfway through, I just said f**k it, I don't care if the record ends up sounding like me having sex with my record collection. I'm just going to have fun with it."
The record soon went from a home recording project like the Coattail Riders' 2006 debut (which was recorded in Foo Fighters touring percussionist Drew Hester's living room) to full on sessions at the Foo Fighters' state of the art 606 studio complex. Hawkins was joined by returning Coattail Riders Chris Chaney (bass) and Gannin Arnold (guitar) and, for the first time in the studio, touring Coattails guitarist Nate Wood. As the record's dozen songs were fleshed out, so too was its stellar supporting cast, which would eventually come to include Elliot Easton of the Cars, Brian May and Roger Taylor of Queen, and last but by no means least, Hawkins' bandmate Dave Grohl.
Red Light Fever could be considered a labor of love - if the sheer joy exuded in every note, influence and nuance of every song didn't make the entire affair seem so effortless. Hawkins' increasingly accomplished vocals and world renowned drumming skills recall and pay tribute to Hawkins' vast spectrum of classic rock heroes - from the vintage 70s glam stomp of "Way Down," the hard rock rave up "Not Bad Luck," a nod to Beatlesque balladry in the form of "Hell To Pay," and many more. Virtually every track evokes memories of the respective heydays of the Chinn-Chapman hit factory, The Move, Sweet, and even a little 10cc for good measure - all imbued with Hawkins' unmistakable musical personality.
Click here for Taylor Hawkins' site and to hear a couple of snippets including 'Way Down' that clearly sounds like it features Brian May.

New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick isn't a man of many words, and usually when he talks, he doesn't say much. But Sporting News team correspondent Ian R. Rapoport, reporting for the Boston Herald, got Belichick to shed light on the state of the Patriots during the NFL lockout.
Belichick revealed in a recent conversation with Rapoport he is making preparations for the season like he normally would, scheming for every opponent on the schedule — but also shared the expected need to scale back the playbook.
"I don't know exactly what the time frame is, but yeah, I think that's fair," Belichick told Rapoport. "We'll have to take the windows that we have to teach things and try to see how much we feel like realistically we can get done. Yeah, something's going to have to go, I would think.
"The progression's got to stay the same and you still have to start at one point and build forward on it, but the width of that or the breadth of that amount of installation, I think, could definitely be subject to being trimmed back. Maybe drastically. I don't know, but it's possible, sure."
For Belichick, that's about the extent he'll share anything with anyone about his game-planning. For a team as well-coached with so few holes such as the Patriots, they can still execute at a high level while going through significantly fewer plays.
New England is among a small group of established AFC powers that the lockout will help in continuing to widen its lead from the conference's also-rans. If the offseason dwindles to virtually nothing, you can expect the Patriots — along with the Jets, Steelers, Ravens and Colts — to keep their firm hold on five of the six playoff spots.

Some people in the English community may be sending their 4-year-olds to kindergarten at public school as early as this fall. It all depends on getting the provincial green light.
The Marois government wants disadvantaged schools to gradually open their doors to 4-year-olds, starting this September.
The French schoolboards say they're having trouble finding the space and the staff, but that's not true for the English side.
"There are many teachers that we can't hire on the kindergarten level that have the necessary training. I wish we did have jobs for all of them," says David D'aoust, president of the Quebec English Schoolboards Association.
D'aoust says English schools should also be able to find room for their new little students.
"Given our stability in enrolment and even a decline in some areas, no it shouldn't be a huge issue," says D'aoust.
While the PQ says it wants to eventually offer kindergarten for 4-year-olds in all elementary schools that are classified as "disadvantaged," only some will be selected this fall. And, it's unknown how many of those schools will be part of the English system.
"We have 54 of them that qualify. Se don't know which schools will be targeted at this point. We're anxious to find out. We hope all of them will be."

Reviewed: 24 November 2011 by muffinmuffinmuffin
First response was WOW! They're a lot bigger than I expected! I was expecting three tiny test tubes the size of glitter tubes that you get from the market at Christmas. Boy, was I wrong! Each one is around 5/6 inches and thick too. These are gonna last a heck of a long time, which is a bonus with any toy. The applicator brush looks and feels like a make-up brush, it's comfortable to hold and is soft when brushing on yourself or your willing partner.
I love the choice of colours, they stand out in the tubes, and even more so on contact with skin. The texture of the dust is very, very fine… Even thinner than sherbert, which is practically what I thought this stuff was.
It's the taste that's the downside though… It doesn't taste bad, far from it. It doesn't have a taste! You can tell it's sweet and is edible, but it has absolutely no flavouring whatsoever, which I found highly odd. It wasn't what I was expecting, but like I said, it's edible and that's the main thing. No one wants a eatable toy that you don't want to eat! It licks off easily too, and doesn't leave anything sticky on your body after it has been licked off too.
The Lust Dust Triple Pack (with brush) is a great thing to have though. Both me and my partner had a lot of fun last night with it, and I can see us using it many more times.
- Pros
- The colours, the application, licking it off.
- Cons
- The taste was a bit bland.
- Bottom line
- It's great fun for the price!

Guest Voice of William G. Sesler: No substitute for U.S.
I think many thoughtful Americans were pleased and relieved to learn about the remarkable change of events leading to a "credible possibility" that some real progress might be made with regard to the dire situation in Syria, relations with Iran and progress in the so-called Mid-East peace process. Others, probably a majority of Americans at the present time, are dubious that anything could be accomplished and think it is time to turn our back on any further involvement in Syria's civil war and question whether relations with Iran can improve.
Before we pass judgment, maybe we should carefully review what has happened in recent days. Let's first consider the issues arising from Syria's use of chemical weapons on Aug. 21 that killed more than 1,300 people, including more than 400 children. These acts were done in direct violation of international law. President Barack Obama said that this horrendous offense could not be ignored by the international community, and if it was absolutely necessary he, as president of the U.S., if all else fails, would order limited but incisive airstrikes against Syria.
Breakthroughs applauded
Within the context of these events, Secretary of State John Kerry in London made suggestions that Syria should be required to eliminate its chemical weapons under international supervision. Contrary to a characterization by some media pundits, these developments have not occurred because of some "offhand remarks" by Kerry. According to the New York Times, American and Russian diplomats have long discussed the problem of how to deal with Syria's chemical weapons, including a conference last May when Kerry went to Moscow; the conference proved fruitless
However, this time a diplomatic bombshell occurred when the Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov publicly stated: "We don't know whether Syria will agree with this, but if the establishment of international control over chemical weapons in the country will prevent attacks, then we will immediately begin work with Damascus. And we will call on the Syrian leadership to not only agree to putting the chemical weapons storage sites under international control but also to their subsequent destruction."
This was followed by the appearance of Vitaly Churkin, the Russian ambassador to the United Nations, on PBS reiterating and enlarging on the remarks of Lavrov. The Syrians quickly embraced the idea, speaking through Foreign Minister Walid Muallem. Soon U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki Moon added his approval of the idea.
Then Lavrov and Kerry met in Geneva, a traditional neutral site, to discuss not only the elimination of chemical weapons in Syria, but also to review the possibility of a peace conference for the purpose of ending the civil war in Syria. Apparently in Geneva the principal powers agreed on the basic structure of the resolution to eliminate chemical weapons and also to set up the framework for a peace conference. The resolution was approved almost immediately by the permanent members of the Security Council and Germany and then submitted the following day to the entire 15-member Security Council, where it was unanimously approved. Discussions also proceeded immediately on the framework of a peace conference to end the civil war. Diplomatic negotiations are scheduled to begin in Geneva on Oct. 15.
It is hard to understate the significance of these breakthroughs. First it constitutes an admission by Syria (previously denied) that it does have chemical weapons and, by implication, that these weapons were used on Aug. 21. Second, before these events, Russia was steadfast in its support of Syria, even refusing to recognize or acknowledge that chemical weapons were used. These statements by Lavrov and Churkin indicate that Russia was not only willing to take action with regard to chemical weapons, but also had serious concerns about the consequences of an ongoing extension of this dreadful civil war.
Civil war must end
Raging for more than two and a half years, this civil war has left more than 100,000 dead and more than 2 million people have fled this war-torn country. More than 712,000 refugees have fled to Lebanon, 516,000 to Jordan and almost 500,000 refugees to Turkey. This exodus threatens to destabilize Jordan and Turkey, and has heightened Shiite/Sunni tensions in Lebanon and Iraq, inflaming a sectarian conflict that could stretch from the Persian Gulf to the Mediterranean.
Consequently, as Obama emphasized in his speech before the U.N. General Assembly, there is an obvious moral imperative for action, but there also appears to be a question of our own national security, which is indissolubly connected to the peace process in the Middle East, whether we like it or not. In June the president told PBS's Charlie Rose that we are not only concerned with moral outrage and humanitarian interests. "We can't have the situation of ongoing chaos in a major country that borders a country like Jordan, which in turn borders Israel. And we have a legitimate need to be engaged and to be involved."
In his address to the General Assembly, the president acknowledged both America's role in the world and also our limited ability to determine events within other nations. These important events happened in conjunction with a possible breakthrough in regard to our protracted dispute with Iran about its nuclear program.
The recent election of a more moderate Iranian president, Hasan Rouhani, has improved opportunities in this regard. Diplomatic overtures and conciliatory remarks were made last week by Rouhani, who spoke at the General Assembly in a manner starkly different from his predecessor, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. For example, Ahmadinejad had denied the existence of the Holocaust, but Rouhani described the Holocaust as a "crime the Nazis created toward the Jews" and called it "reprehensible and condemnable." There is no doubt that much of this change probably came about because of the sanctions being imposed by the U.S., which are having devastating effects on the economy of Iran, but it is clear that the other events described are also having a significant impact on the leadership of Iran.
Unfortunately, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, in response to the addresses delivered by Obama and Rouhani and the actions of the Security Council, thought it necessary in his address to the U.N. General Assembly to excoriate Rouhani and Iran at length and deride Rouhani's conciliatory remarks by saying: "I wish I could believe Rouhani, but I don't."
Middle East matters
Based on a recent New York Times-CBS poll, many Americans apparently think that because it is a civil war, the effects of it are confined to Syria. This is a fallacy with serious consequences to the stability of the entire Middle East, some of which is set forth above. If Russia insists that the war must end and the rest of the international community agrees, Assad will have no real choice or else face the loss of his most important ally. Russia can apply pressure on Syria in a manner no other country can.
Despite these impressive events, there is very little chance of any successful resolution of these three important issues -- eliminating chemical weapons in Syria, ending the civil war and finding a solution to the nuclear program in Iran -- without the leadership and guidance of the United States.
Members of Congress and the American people should ponder the recent remarks of Benjamin J. Rhodes, deputy national security adviser to Obama: "One thing for Congress to consider is the message that this debate sends about U.S. leadership around the world -- that the U.S. for decades has played the role of undergirding the global security architecture and enforcing international norms. And we do not want to send a message that the United States is getting out of that business in any way."
Yes, we Americans are weary of war after 12 years, and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have cast a long shadow. But at this point, America's role as a leader of the international community and an upholder of high principles is at stake. Two of our presidents were crippled by foreign policy -- Jimmy Carter in Iran and Lyndon Johnson in Vietnam. But we must also remember that Bill Clinton doused the fires in the Balkans and demonstrated the high ideals of American intervention.
No, we are not the world's cops, but we really have no choice but to lead in the Middle East "peace process." Even the brutal dictator Bashar al-Assad himself has said, "There is no substitute for the United States."

i just got my tablet p as a gift frm my uncle... First of all nice work sony, for the innovative design.due 2 the foldable screen it fits in my jeans pocket but it's bulky and for this reason carrying in pocket doesn't seems a good idea for me. The UI is quite nice,and the 5mp shooter does its job pretty well but when the surroundings get darker the camera is of no uce. For my disappointment many videos played in the upper screen only except for the youtube. If you are a hard core gamer then this is not the device u r looking for.... The video sound was not up 2 mark the but that's what the small speakers can offer. I cannot give any report on the battery back up with this 2 days experience. Innovation is nothing new for sony and has become a synonym for their brand name ,but this time not soooo gr8...may be the greater expectations caused disappointment. Any way i give 7. 5 / 10.
i think sony has shown it's new creativity and ilike this tablet design.
this Tablet is goof, i hope Sony will market and improve their own OS which is Vita OS or vOS i hope they will implement the vOS on their future electronics
i like the vita OS, android is sucks! if it not because of Sony i will not use Android

Last Christmas we took the train out to New Jersey to spend the holiday with Erik's family. We went to the Latvian Church for Christmas Eve services, which I always enjoy. Pr. Eva always gives memorable sermons that give much to think about in the coming months. She asked us to consider the JOY of Christ in the world and to think on that amid suffering, struggles, pain. Joy is not the same as happiness. On Christmas morning we like to crash the party at Liz and Rob's place. (My brother-in-law's sister and her family.) They always make a fantastic breakfast and there is much merriment. Then we migrated to Grandma Jean's house (brother-in-law's mother's house) for more food and mimosas. The Thomas family really knows how to party and Christmas morning is no exception. Then, we make our way back to Oma's house for gifts and the traditional Christmas ham with raisin sauce, tomatoes, cucumbers, spice cookies, coffee and pie. We spend the rest of the day snacking on pīrāgi and playing with our new toys. We were really socked in with a huge blizzard that shut down New York City for about three days.
Then I got the flu. I spent the rest of the week with 103* fever, laying on the couch beneath a sea of warm blankets. Erik went up to New York and saw "Promises, Promises" on Broadway with his sister, once publis transit was up and running again. I was upset to have missed it, but was very glad that the two of them were able to get away from regular life for a bit and enjoy one another's company. This is our house from last Christmas:

When we got back and I got better, I started taking swim lessons at the YMCA. I've been able to keep myself afloat, but never learned how to properly do a freestyle, back, or breast stroke. I really enjoyed having an activity that kept me active throughout the winter.
Also, in January, I finally finished my Masters of Arts in Humanities with a concentration in Medieval and Renaissance Studies. My Thesis was called, "Piero Della Francesca's Misericordia Polyptych: Artist, Patron, and Community." It's about a painter, the painting, the folks who hired him to paint it, and the community from which they all came. This is the main part of the painting:
At the end of January, we spent a long weekend in Michigan. It was Granny's 88th birthday and there was a big surprise party for her! She was so delighted that so many people came out to wish her a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! We really enjoyed getting to know the newest member of the Hempel clan, Wyatt Lee Hempel.

I continued with swimming throughout the month and enjoyed the freedom of finally being done with school. Almost thirty years in school; I was tired.
The best part of February was the JUBILEE conference put on by the Coalition for Christian Outreach. Every person I've met through the CCO has been tremendous and I have enormous respect for the organization. Jubilee pulls together the best and most challenging Christian thinker, doers, and makers into one place to encourage college students (and grown ups!) to go out and live their faith. They share stories of how their own faith has shaped their paths and how they have worked with the Holy Spirit to shape the world for His sake. I listened to a man who was overcome with compassion for children in a particular village. He was a lawyer and worked with the local government to break down political barriers to free innocents from jail, help children go to school, etc. Other speakers worked in their own communities. I talked with dancers from New York City who worked with Christian artists in the city to offer encouragement and support in a place and a line of work where being a Christian is not seen favorably. I learned to dialog in pictures. I met some incredible people. I am pretty sure that the CCO plans Jubilee in February to help us get through the darkest parts of the year by focusing our eyes on the Light that shines in the darkness.
On March 4th, I was the guest artist for a student-led event at Grove City College called Project Eve: A Celebration of Women's Creativity. It was so exciting to see how the students wanted to showcase the creativity of the people in the community as well as on campus. I set up my area as a mock studio, showing some of the process, tools, and materials that a sculptor uses. I had carefully placed "please touch" and "do not touch" signs around the display. It seemed that the students really enjoyed feeling the rubber on the mold, getting to roll the clay around a bit, and watching me work on a portrait. It was such an honor to be a part of it.
Asha and I travelled to Michigan to stay in Olivet for five days just because. We enjoyed visiting Hempelonia, seeing Nana, Papa and the gang. Asha especially enjoyed the pig and gathering eggs in the morning.
It also started raining in March and didn't stop until May. It was a very. long. three. months.
Still raining. One of the highlights of April was Erik's birthday weekend in Cleveland. You see, RUSH was playing the TIME MACHINE tour and even though we had already seen them in Pittsburgh, it was on his birthday. So, we checked in at the Cleveland Renaissance (by Marriott, of course). Nana met us there! She and Asha enjoyed playing in the pool and watching movies at the hotel while Erik and I got all dressed up in concert tees and rocked out. Another fun fact about RUSH and Cleveland is that a Cleveland radio station was the first American station to give them air time. Their song, Working Man, became a huge hit in the industrial town and subsequently the band took off. So, they filmed a Live in Cleveland Time Machine Tour DVD that very night we were there. We can't wait to see it to see if we can see our cheesy faces waving at the microblimpcam (just made up that word, but it was a very small blimp).
On Easter Sunday we enjoyed a beautiful Easter celebration at All Saints Lutheran Church.
|Asha and Mommy sharing a smile at church.
On the night of April 28th, I got a text from my best friend Grace, "So, do you want to come over and watch the miracle of birth." My first thought was that she wanted me to watch some PBS nature documentaries, but in reality she was in labor! I stayed the night on her sofa and witnessed the birth of her second son, Garrett, being born at home on the morning of April 29th. It was a true honor to have been part of such a miracle.

CARICOM Stresses Climate Change and Disaster Management Cooperation with Japan
25 May 2012: As Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Secretary General Irwin LaRocque accepted the credentials of Yoshimasa Tezuka, new Plenipotentiary Representative of Japan to CARICOM, he stressed the importance of climate change and disaster management cooperation with Japan.
LaRocque qualified cooperation on climate change as "fundamental," stressing that to the small island States and low-lying coastal countries of CARICOM, climate change is not an abstract concept, but rather "a very real and increasingly threatening reality" and "a question of survival."
LaRocque expressed special appreciation for Japanese financial, technical and other support on disaster management, particularly flood hazard mapping and community-level disaster planning. He indicated that CARICOM looked forward to expanding cooperation on that front. He suggested that Japan's experiences with the earthquake and tsunami in 2011 "underscore the importance of like-minded States collaborating in disaster mitigation and preparedness." He also thanked Japan for its continued aid to Haiti after the 2010 earthquake in that CARICOM member State. [CARICOM Press Release]

The new season of Community Cinema will screen six documentaries in more than 100 cities across the country, in addition to hosting online social screenings through the innovative OVEE platform.
The 2013-14 season of Community Cinema officially launched in September, offering an exciting slate of films and new ways to participate. First up, partners are screening the two part series The Graduates/Los Graduados prior to its Independent Lens broadcast premiere dates on Monday, October 28 and November 4 (check local listings). The series features first-hand perspectives on the challenges facing Latino and Latina high school students from across the U.S.
The Graduates/Los Graduados is the first entirely bilingual English-Spanish Community Cinema engagement campaign, with resources including an incredibly creative and engaging Youth Action Guide designed to get young people involved in increasing their school-wide graduation rates. At screenings, a few lucky educators and youth leaders will get to take home their own DVDs with the films, short format modules, and tools to help bring other important stakeholders into the conversation. With the support of CPB's American Graduate initiative behind The Graduates/Los Graduados, the Community Cinema screenings through October will help start the school year off right with impactful, solution-oriented discussions on education and equality.
Other films this season, including The State of Arizona and Las Marthas, amplify diverse Latino voices while the country debates immigration reform over the winter months. Community Cinema will also feature two films that use sports as a backdrop to issues of national concern: race and religion in The Trials of Muhammad Ali and class in Medora. The season will come to a close in June when the conversation about gay marriage will be revisited in the Women and Girls Lead film The New Black.
Also, this year there is an exciting new enhancement to the Community Cinema program: It's going digital! ITVS created a flashy new tool called OVEE that can recreate the Community Cinema experience online. As long as you have a computer or tablet and a high speed internet connection, you can join a live online Community Cinema screening and chat from anywhere in the country.
To find Community Cinema screenings near you during the Independent Lens season, visit the Screening Schedule page or follow Community Cinema on Facebook and Twitter. We look forward to seeing you at an event!

The importance of a good camera flash cannot be underestimated. Whenever we purchase a camera we hope that the built-in flash will be of a high standard so that we can take pictures in a variety of different lit environments. However, this is not always the case. But, this problem can be conquered with the use of external digital camera flashguns. Flashguns tend to be much more powerful than a built-in flash. Camera flashguns are able to provide you with a level of light that will ensure that images from long distances are as crystal clear as those which are right under your nose, something which a conventional flash just isn't able to do. They are ideal for those who want to take pictures 20-30 feet away from an object. Canon flashguns, Nikon flashguns and Olympus flashguns will work in unison with your camera to help make your images as natural and flattering as possible. Panasonic flashguns, Pentax flashguns and Samsung flashguns also allow you to try out the technique of 'bounce flash'. This is where you aim your flashgun at a light-coloured background and let the light fall onto whatever it is you are looking to snap. This results in softer looking images. Wilkinson Cameras has every model of flashgun you could ever expect from a photography specialist, with Sony Flashguns, Leica flashguns, Marumi flashguns and Metz flashguns on sale at affordable prices.
