SA's Africa policy lay in ruins yesterday after a bold and high-profile bid to lead the African Union (AU) ended abruptly, as Home Affairs Minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma failed to win an election for the AU's top administrative post.
Analysts said the failure was likely to force Pretoria to re-examine its relations on the continent as SA is one of the biggest providers of aid and foreign direct investment.
"President (Jacob) Zuma has been criticised for a weak foreign policy on Africa so he had to show his direction. This will be a crisis for him, that his first attempt to come up with a way to repair his policy has been defeated," said Mehari Taddele Maru, an AU analyst at the Institute for Security Studies.
In scenes reminiscent of SA's exit from football's African Nations Cup qualifiers last year, members of the South African delegation broke into applause and song after the vote at the AU's headquarters, under the mistaken impression that Ms Dlamini-Zuma had won.
It was clear that apart from not having received the backing of Africa's powerhouses, smaller countries also let Pretoria down. While SA was promised 30 votes of the 53 voting candidates, the final tally indicated a switch in allegiance.
The fiercely contested elections showed Ms Dlamini-Zuma got only 26 votes in the first round while the incumbent, Gabon's Jean Ping, received 27. In the second round, Ms Dlamini-Zuma emerged victorious with 27 votes to Mr Ping's 26. The third round saw Mr Ping getting 27 votes to Ms Dlamini-Zuma's 26.
Neither managed to get the required two-thirds majority of 35.
An official of the Department of International Relations and Co-operation blamed the "French influence" for SA's failure to receive the promised 30 votes.
"Even though we didn't receive an outright win, SA has emerged victorious as we have defeated the agenda of the French and foreign intervention in African affairs," the official said.
Observers said the outcome had entrenched divisions and this would further affect the administration of the AU Commission. "Clearly the facade of continental unity has been blown off by the contest," said Mzukisi Qobo of the University of Pretoria.
Jakkie Cilliers of the Pretoria-based Institute for Security Studies said yesterday the elections had worsened tension. "It shows Africa does not want SA to chair the commission and SA's agenda has been shown to have limited appeal as SA does not carry the support it thought it had."
The vote had been at the expense of "African unity", said Tom Wheeler of the Johannesburg-based South African Institute of International Affairs.
As there was no clear winner, the AU heads of state, gathering in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, were last night discussing a proposal to appoint a legal panel to look at the AU's constitution after it was not clear whether Mr Ping was eligible to continue in his post.
Dr Cilliers said the AU Commission could not risk being without a chairman for the next six months, before a new candidate could be elected in Malawi where the AU heads of state are set to meet next. It was not clear whether the two candidates could stand again.
International Relations Minister Maite Nkoana-Mashabane said consultations would be undertaken to determine whether SA would field another candidate.
"We will consult but we strongly feel that from the informal discussions we have been having, the Southern African Development Community will field a candidate because we have never been given an opportunity to lead this organisation.
"I think the message that is coming out that I want to emphasise is that leaders are saying the time has come and the time is now to capacitate this AU, to strengthen it, but that must come and must come now.
"This is the loud message we are receiving," she said.
Despite its economic might, SA has been regarded as a political lightweight on the continent under the Zuma government and has, in some instances, raised the ire of its peers by backing the wrong horse in international forums.

You may have been asked to pay fees when you're settling your taxi fare with a debit or credit card but it turns out that's illegal.
Many taxi companies will add $1 to $1.25 on every debit or credit transaction to cover service fees.
"It's not going in the drivers pockets, we don't make that money, we give $1 to the company and they tell us it's for administration fees, that's all they're telling us," Addy Adegeye, who's been a taxi driver with Taxi Diamond for 20 years said.
The provincial law says the only extra fee a taxi customer can be asked to fork out is to cover the cost of tolls.
Adegeye says Diamond stopped charging customers because of all the complaints it received. But, he says drivers now pay 6 percent on every transaction.
"They can charge us 6 percent, or 10 percent, they can charge us anything they want and if we're not happy we can go to another company."
The taxi board says drivers charging fees will start receiving $125 fines.

Looking back, I would now make two strong recommendations to every law student and young lawyer, and by that term I mean all associates and all new partners.
The first would be to invest some of your earnings or savings into some work with a career counselor or coach as early in the process as you can. It can be very difficult to get a good perspective on the implications of your choices or even to understand what you want or what you should be looking for without getting help from someone who is clear-sighted, independent and concerned about you, perhaps even more concerned about you than you will allow yourself to be as you frantically try to "launch your career."
The second would be to track down Kimm Walton's book, What Law School Doesn't Teach You: But You Really Need to Know. In one volume, you will find tips, advice and, dare I say, distilled wisdom that might otherwise take you years to learn or, in some cases, that you may never find. It's difficult for me to imagine a more useful resource. Don't worry that it was written a few years ago – the lessons are timeless. Here's a tip: some of what you read won't make sense to you at first, but it's important to see it now, because you will appreciate it later.
Let's go to the Internet and see what we can find out there to help you out. Once again, you can almost forget about using Google or standard search engines. Your search terms will turn up all kinds of wacky and irrelevant results, even though you will find some good stuff here and there.
The Young Lawyer Division Web sites – The American Bar Association and many, if not all, state bar associations and bar associations in countries outside the United States have portions of their websites devoted to their "young lawyer divisions or sections." Some are more extensive than others, but you'll want to start with the ABA Young Lawyer Division's site (http://www.abanet.org/yld/home.html), move to your state bar association's young lawyer section site and sample the other ones out there. For example, the Texas bar association site has recently gained a lot of attention for its "Ten Minute Mentor" series of downloadable video programs.
Introduction to Legal Practice Resource Guide (http://www.okcu.edu/law/lawlib/pdfs/guide_legalpractice.pdf) – Although there may be several examples of this type of resource, this Guide, prepared by Lee Peoples at the Oklahoma City University Law School in connection with a law school class, gives you a comprehensive list of resources in one handy document. It makes this introduction a great starting point.
The ABA YLD's Unlock Your Potential Resource Guide (http://www.abanet.org/yld/careerresources/home.html) – This 79 page document distills a lot of useful information into one useful document and evidences a lot of care, concern and wisdom. It's a treasure trove of useful information.
The Legal Bloggers – If you listen carefully, you will start to hear talk about the way that the lawyer bloggers are helping change the image of lawyers for the better with their helpfulness and generosity. Although there are many examples, I want to single out three blogs that often have useful advice, tips and discussion for young lawyers: Evan Schaeffer's Notes from the (Legal) Underground (http://www.legalunderground.com/), Scheherezade Fowler's Stay of Execution (http://civpro.blogs.com/civil_procedure/), and Arnie Herz's Legal Sanity (http://www.legalsanity.com/).
FindLaw Career Center (http://careers.findlaw.com/) – FindLaw remains the premier free directory for legal information on the Internet. The Career Center pulls together a useful collection of resources and will help you find other materials.
Vault.com (http://www.vault.com/hubs/507/hubhome_507.jsp?ch_id=507) – Some people focus so much on the salary information and other insider materials on this site that they overlook the number of useful articles and other materials on this site. Spend a little time to look around and you will be well-rewarded for your efforts.
Lincoln's Advice to Lawyers (http://showcase.netins.net/web/creative/lincoln/speeches/lawlect.htm) – Although Abraham Lincoln did not originally write this material for the Internet, it's found a home on the Internet. His reflections contain much sage advice.
The Strongest Links Column on Mentoring (http://www.abanet.org/lpm/lpt/articles/slc08041.html) – I wrote a column that collected a good number of links to mentoring resources that was part of an excellent issue of Law Practice Today focusing on mentoring. A search using the term "mentoring" on the Law Practice Today Web site will turn up a set of excellent articles. One of the most important jobs a new lawyer has is finding a mentor. The resources mentioned in this column will assist you in that effort.
These resources will get you started. Learning about the practice of law and better ways to practice law will play a vital role in your legal career. Do not neglect it. Keep adding to your own collection of useful resources on the topic.

2008 MotoGP teams begin to emerge
October 10, 2007 This year's World Champion Casey Stoner, as well as Rossi, Vermeulen and the Honda team are staying where they are for season 2008 – but beyond that, MotoGP has been a huge game of musical chairs as riders jump from team to team hoping to secure the best bikes for next year. With teams finally settling, here's what we know.
Take a clean sheet of paper, a set of coloured pencils, and draw a map of the London Underground. Substitute team names for stations – and you get the picture of a much-changed MotoGP rider line-up in 2008!
Actually, a man who is staying right where he is kick-started the jockeying for position that has gone on all year in the MotoGP ranks. As early as the first day of February we learned that Valentino Rossi would not be buying any tickets to ride: the maestro had renewed his Yamaha deal through to the end of 2008.
"The atmosphere in our garage is always relaxed and happy," said Rossi, "and I think that this is something very special and very difficult to find." For Yamaha team boss Davide Brivio it was all a matter of trust: "To extend the contract for a further year at the end of a difficult season like the last one (2006) is the greatest demonstration of the trust Valentino has placed in this team," said Brivio. The five-time premier-class World Champion then became the still point in a rapidly turning world as riders assessed their options for the years ahead.
While one Italian master's world view was stable, another's was about to undergo rapid change. If you had felt, before the 2007 season began, that Loris Capirossi would be playing the lead role for Ducati and passing on the accumulated wisdom of 18 years in Grand Prix racing to new arrival Casey Stoner, you would not have been in a minority of one. By the mid-season break, 'Capirex', the man who flew the flag for the Italian marque in MotoGP, had seen his Ducati prospects wrecked as the young Aussie streaked towards their first MotoGP title.
So Loris hopped on the blue line: he's joining Suzuki, an announcement made on August 16. "The moment has come for change, and to try new challenges," said Capirossi – although that was after his Ducati outfit had confirmed that Marco Melandri was already on the red line – headed for Ducati alongside Stoner in 2008.
So we have two thrilling Italian-Australian partnerships to look forward to as Chris Vermeulen joins forces with Capirossi in the drive to develop the GSV-R into a title-winning machine. Vermeulen was confirmed at Suzuki again in July, with an option for 2009 as well. "The way the development has gone since I first rode the GSV-R in 2005 is incredible," enthused Vermeulen. "I am sure if we can continue in that direction we will be pushing up to the front every weekend." Vermeulen's brilliant maiden win in France this year, and Capirossi's scintillating win at Motegi in the last round before Phillip Island, confirm there's a lot to look forward to at the blue station.
By that stage we had already heard that Jorge Lorenzo had got on the blue-and-white line. The Spanish 250cc title-holder announced late in July that he was joining Yamaha in a two-year deal. Described by Yamaha's Lin Jarvis as 'a valuable asset for the future', Lorenzo is still actively engaged in the defence of his 250 title as they head to the Island.
A month later came the news that our own Anthony West was on the green line – given a ticket for 2008 by Kawasaki, for whom he made his MotoGP debut at Donington Park in mid-year as a substitute for Olivier Jacque. "A huge weight off my shoulders," said Westy, whose unusual tale we shall tell in a later addition to this series. The other man on the green line for next year is Anglo-American John Hopkins, who is quitting Suzuki to partner West at Kawasaki.
That's because France's Randy de Puniet is heading the other way. In August De Puniet announced that he is making a return journey on the multi-coloured line to LCR Honda, where he really kick-started his Grand Prix career in the 250cc ranks in 2003-04.
Looking at other main-line stations, there will be no change at the Honda works team: outgoing World Champion Nicky Hayden is contracted through 2008, while Dani Pedrosa, the man up-staged by Stoner as MotoGP's new young gun, announced last month that he's staying put for another two years. "Although this year things have not turned out quite as we wanted," admitted former 125cc and 250cc World Champion Pedrosa, "Honda and I have the spirit to come back next year with renewed motivation and be stronger than ever."
It's when we get to the outlying stations that the picture becomes a little fuzzier. Former Superbike World Champion James Toseland has a ticket for Yamaha Tech 3, whose boss Herve Poncharal calls the Englishman's signing 'a major coup'. Will Colin Edwards leave the main-line Yamaha outfit to team up with Toseland at Tech 3?
Tech 3 are losing Frenchman Sylvain Guintoli to the satellite Ducati team at Pramac D'Antin. The French rider raised eyebrows with a first-day stand-out performance in Brno earlier this season. "It's always important to do well, but especially now that contracts are being talked about," he laughed. A Ducati ride is no joke, and Guintoli has since confirmed his growing confidence with a personal best fourth place at Motegi last time out.
But who will arrive at the satellite Ducati team to work alongside Guintoli? They didn't wait till season's end to start making changes: Alex Hofmann's already gone, thrown off the train after deciding a back-of-the-pack finish wasn't worth fighting for at Estoril, and now we wait to see if another Brit, Chaz Davies, can make the second saddle his in the last three outings of 2007.
Honda Gresini have lost Melandri to Ducati: might they also be on the brink of losing Spain's Toni Elias? He's also in the frame for the other Pramac D'Antin ride. On the plus side, Fausto Gresini has already announced a splendid new arrival as he continues his tradition of encouraging young Italian talent. Alex de Angelis is on his way to the Honda team for his own MotoGP debut in 2008.
Lorenzo, De Angelis – and the other man in the top three in the quarter-litre class as we speak, Andrea Dovizioso, is also moving up. Exactly what his final destination will be is unclear at the moment: 'Dovi' announced in mid-September that he will definitely join the elite class in 2008, with Honda backing, and possibly with the help of Gianluca Montiron of Konica Minolta Honda.
As the youngsters arrive on their express train, some old-established names may be heading for a slightly slower mode of transport. Alex Barros is not glued to his Pramac D'Antin seat, nor Carlos Checa at Honda LCR. Might the Spaniard replace Toseland on the Superbike stage? What happens to Japanese riders Makoto Tamada and Shinya Nakano? All we know is that anyone who wants one of the few remaining tickets had better get in the queue right now…
Confirmed lineup:
Yamaha: Valentino Rossi, Jorge Lorenzo
Yamaha Tech 3: James Toseland, ?
Ducati: Casey Stoner, Marco Melandri
Pramac D'Antin Ducati: Sylvain Guintoli, ?
Suzuki: Chris Vermeulen, Loris Capirossi

a dilemma
If you milked a high yielding cow 3 x a day, she would produce more milk than if her calf suckled her. But mellifera's point I think was more along the lines of the calf having to be seperated from its mum and either eaten, or raised from a bucket. I dont consider either cruel, but we're entitled to differ here.
Not sure what, if much, about sheep rearing is cruel though... no AI, no seperation, very little "pressure" to produce large numbers of offspring as 2 is the norm for a mules and they cant really raise 3....
i can understand someone thinking that dairy farming is cruel, i was just wondering if that means that milking is always cruel.
seren nos wrote (see)
but surely cows are just like humans..............if you stop milking them then they will stop producing it so would only be painful for a short period JJ.......
Not really. She'd get mastitis and it would be pretty painful. Once they're in full lactation you have to dry them off gradually till they are producing less, then you can stop.
??? What did they fall into? Quick drying cement??
I could see an argument for them overheating, but I cant see a sheep growing so much wool she couldnt stand herself up again....
i'm not saying milking is cruel but if you don't eat cow then why would you keep getting a cow pregnant?
'they can die if they fall over' LOL
why the interest Oxy

The Great Communicator Might Have Been Less So Without Peggy Noonan Writing His Lyrics
She was right. In the following months Peggy Noonan showed George Bush the light—a thousand points of it. And it was she who wrote his dazzling acceptance speech for the Republican National Convention—the one calling for "a kinder, gentler nation," the one that made the reedy-voiced, malaprop-prone George Bush sound eloquent and confident.
Such is Noonan's talent, in fact, that she makes speechwriting seem almost dangerous. In her new book, What I Saw at the Revolution: A Political Life in the Reagan Era, Noonan, 39, describes her potent art: "A speech is poetry: cadence, rhythm, imagery, sweep! A speech reminds us that words, like children, have the power to make dance the dullest beanbag of a heart."
Remarkably, Noonan's sprightly prose and clear-eyed candor also have the power to make dance her account of what turned out to be a frustrating experience: writing speeches for a man she rarely saw and never completely understood. "When we young folks came to work for Ronald Reagan, there was a certain revolutionary spirit," she says. But the White House policymakers wore her down, clipping her poetry and deadening her sentences. After two years, passed over for the chief speechwriting job, Noonan quit. "It's not fun anymore," she told her boss, Pat Buchanan, in 1986. "And speechwriting here is finished."
But Noonan wasn't. Once George Bush was elected, she resumed work on her book, in which she tries to explain, among other things, how a child of crusty, Irish Catholic Democrats ended up working for Reagan. The third of seven children of a furniture salesman and his wife, Noonan was raised in Brooklyn, N.Y., and then above a candy store in Rutherford, N.J. Her parents were staunch New Dealers, and young Peggy plastered her bedroom wall with photos of the Kennedys.
"People always ask me how I came from my generation and became a conservative," she says. "It's hard to pinpoint where the rebellion began, but I can tell you the moment I knew I wasn't of the left." It was the spring of 1971, and Noonan was riding with some of her fellow students from Fairleigh Dickinson University to an antiwar rally in Washington, D.C. As student leaders attacked America as racist and imperialist, Noonan began to feel alienated. "I was more moved by the tough, working-class grunts who fought the war," she says, "than by their more affluent brothers and sisters on the bus with me." Speeding down the New Jersey Turnpike, Noonan decided that "from here on in, I would use my McGovern button as a roach clip."
After graduating in 1974 with a degree in English literature and journalism, Noonan took a job writing radio news in Boston during the painful first years of court-ordered busing. She was appalled, she says, that "a judge almost blithely tore a world apart" and then withdrew to his affluent suburb. "I was seeing the wrong solution put into place." By the time she was hired to write copy for Dan Rather in the early '80s, Noonan relished the role of house conservative. Her life was not all politics, however. "Peggy had quite the reputation as a party girl," says Terri Belli, a former colleague at CBS.
This casual personal style was one of several things that didn't sit well at the Reagan White House, where Noonan was hired as a speechwriter in 1984 after lobbying a few of her conservative contacts. On one occasion, she writes, "a young woman took me aside and said, 'I heard you had wine in the mess...and smoked cigarettes.' " On another, Noonan's walking shoes and wrinkled khaki skirt drew a look from Nancy Reagan that was clearly meant to wither the plants.
Noonan also ran afoul of policy bureaucrats—known as "the mice"—who nibbled away at her prose. When the crew of the Challenger space shuttle died in a fiery blast, she wrote, for Reagan: "We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them—this morning, as they prepared for their journey, and waved goodbye, and 'slipped the surly bonds of earth [to] touch the face of God.' "—quoting the poem High Flight. A National Security Council staffer, Noonan reports, tried to change the ending to "reach out and touch someone." Noonan hit the roof, and her words survived.
Noonan describes some of those attracted to the Reagan revolution as "creepy little men with creepy little beards who needed something to seethe on." Yet she says she never lost faith in the Reagan agenda or in the elusive man who responded to her resignation note—studded with XXX's for kisses—with a letter signed by the autograph pen. "Reagan was the big, strong elephant that trampled down the high grass and flattened the bushes to ease the way for the younger, quicker animals," Noonan says. Still, her loyalty to the President never blinded her to absurdities in his Administration. "She has a blessed irreverence that's hard to come by in White House staffers," says William Safire, a former Nixon speechwriter.
Now in the midst of a divorce from Richard Rahn, 48, chief economist for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, whom she met and married during her White House tour, Noonan has moved back to New York City, where she'll write a novel and TV dramas. "Life is great," she says, dismissing the collapse of her marriage and recent reports linking her to ABC's Jeff Greenfield. "There is steak, there is ice cream, there is a lot of laughter, good times and good books. So what's to complain about?"

Three brothers died in space of 18 days
Published 19/12/2012 | 21:15
THE DEATHS of three brothers, Pat, John and James Campbell who were originally from Upper Jenkinstown within the space of eighteen days in November evoked widespread sympathy in the area.
Their deaths coming just five months after the death of another brother, Matt meant that half of the family of eight passed away within the one calendar year and leaves just one surviving member of the family, sister, Clare Cumiskey who resides in Jenkinstown.
All where the children of John and Elizabeth (neé Morgan) from Jenkinstown.
They were brought up on the family farm, one of the highest, if not the highest holding in Louth, where sheep rearing was the primary source of income.
Patrick was the first of the three deaths in November. He died on the 10th, followed on the 22nd by John while the last remaining boy in the family, James died on the 28th.
Patrick was born on August 27th, 1928. He was the youngest of the family and completed his education at the CBS in Dundalk. He returned home to work on the family farm after the death of his father, John and remained on the farm all his life.
He loved his life as a sheep farmer on the Cooley mountains and in his young days he enjoyed local dances and a visit to the cinema. A jolly, outgoing man, Patrick had a fine voice and sang at many a wedding, party not to mention a wake. He was a keen supporter of St. Patrick's GFC and attended their most important matches.
Patrick's health deteriorated in recent months and he died peacefully in Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital. Having reposed at his home, his remains were taken to St. Mary's Church, Ravensdale were Requiem Mass was celebrated by Very Rev. P. Murphy, P.P. Burial took place in Calvary cemetery.
John, the second of the brothers to pass away, was born on April 13th, 1923.
He left home when he was twelve to live with his widowed aunt, Maryann Kelly (neé Morgan) in Carrickarnon and lived there all his life. He worked on his aunt's farm and the border shop of his uncle, Edward Morgan.
In August, 1956 he married Mary McCartney and sadly in 1976 Mary died suddenly. John was always in good humour and enjoyed a happy life. He loved a social outing and loved meeting people, especially in his favourite place, Carrickdale Hotel. He loved boxing and once travelled to America to see the ' Clones Cyclone', Barry McGuigan box.

James, the third of the brothers to pass away in November, was born on August 17th, 1926. He worked in many parts of the United Kingdom during his early years. He married Eileen Woods from Knocknagorna, Omeath in February, 1926.
They both worked in the English holiday resort, Blackpool during the holiday period and spent their winter months in Carlingford.
In the late 1970's they returned home and built a supermarket in Omeath, which they sold in the 1990's when they both retired.
They soon got bored with retirement and started an ice cream stall in Carlingford in Taaffe's Castle. James worked until he was taken ill in September last. Sadly Eileen died in July, 1996.
James had a great love of animals, especially his cat, Sam who lived until he was nearly twenty. James will also be fondly remembered by the school children in Omeath and they paid a nice tribute to him at his funeral.

Constructing Theory: Prehistory Migration in the New World
Anthropology students studying human evolution and archeology will present different theories about prehistoric migration to the New World. Linguistic, archeological, and biology evidence will be exhibited which support some of these theories better than others.
Opportunistic Learners: Exploring the Continuum of Orangutan Learning
This paper compares solitary, wild orangutans with a recently discovered wild, social group of orangutans. Because the social group shows cultural traits that are lacking in wild orangutans, it dispels the myth that wild orangutans are slow-witted and lazy. Observations made of a third group of orangutans, those raised in captivity but returned to the wild, show that even orangutans who would normally be solitary are social learners when given the opportunity to do so and this opportunistic learning explains why captive orangutans have always been such proficient tool users. Through capitalizing on the opportunity to learn from human keepers, captive orangutans master tool use and human language, making them seem smarter than their solitary fellows. Thus, a continuum can be formed: from wild, solitary orangutans to captive, social . However, it is not a continuum of intelligence, but one of opportunity.

International Volunteer Day 2002 in Kazakhstan
05 December 2002
Almaty: International Volunteer Day (IVD) 2002 in Kazakhstan was celebrated around the country by a range of volunteer organisations. These organisations held open days in their local communities, inviting the public, local officials, journalists and others to find out more about their activities. They also held local celebrations with their volunteers, including parties and concerts. In the week or so leading up to the Day, many organizations organized voluntary actions in their communities, to highlight their activities.
The United Nations Volunteers (UNV) Programme Officer in Kazakhstan, Julian Hansen and the Executive Director of Soros Volunteer House Kazakhstan, Ms Nazilya Birzhanova, appeared on a breakfast talk show on a national TV station on the morning of 5 December, explaining the value of volunteering in Kazakhstan and how local people could get involved. UNV also organized for two feature articles about volunteering to be written in two national newspapers with wide circulation. Regional volunteer organizations also arranged for local media coverage of their own events. The following Saturday, a student debate on the programme "City of the Future" was filmed and broadcast on the main state television channel, Khabar, to debate the value of volunteerism for Kazakhstan's social and economic development.
In the evening on 5 December in Almaty, the country's largest city and former capital, the key volunteer organizations in the city held a party, with entertainment provided by volunteers from different organisations and dancing and music to follow. At this celebration, certificates were presented in recognition of volunteers' service during the year. The same evening, Volunteer House, which coordinates a network of volunteer organizations around the country, in collaboration with UNV held a special dinner for business people to thank them for their support during the year and encourage them to continue and expand their support in the year to come.

I just caught Philip Gröning's extraordinary documentary Into Great Silence (2 screens and opening wider), about Carthusian monks living in a charterhouse in the French Alps. It runs just past two hours and 45 minutes and I would wager that no more than two hundred words are spoken throughout. The film merely shows the monks going about their daily business: praying, chanting, caring for gardens, shoveling snow, sawing firewood, cooking, eating, etc. I have to admit part of my enthusiasm for the film stems from the fact that it contains no talking heads or clips; I was just about ready to scream if I saw one more documentary shot in that tired old PBS format. But I was also drawn to the film's meditative rhythm.
Or is it just slow? Already some of the reviews have trudged out the word "boring" to describe the film, and certainly it's a hard sell. But why? It's apparent that Gröning doesn't have any particular viewpoint about the monks; he's not trying to sell us on their dignity or righteousness, nor is he trying to uncover some secret, seamy underbelly. He merely wishes to show them to us. And in his great, quiet stretches, a viewer can easily get lost in his or her own thoughts. Indeed, I believe that Gröning actually prefers us to get lost in our own thoughts.p class="MsoNormal">Other film critics have teased me over the years about my appreciation for "slow" movies. I was utterly entranced when a character explored the giant, preserved corpse of a whale, walking all the way from tip to tail and back again, in Bela Tarr's Werckmeister Harmonies (2000), and when Matt Damon and Casey Affleck trudged through the desert for ten full minutes without a word or a cut in Gus Van Sant's Gerry (2003). Not to mention Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut (1999), a slow odyssey that unfolds at the pace of night. Perhaps a clearer example would be Hirokazu Kore-eda's After Life (1998), which asks viewers to choose their most perfect memory for permanent preservation on film. It's impossible to watch that movie and not consider our own memories.
All four of these movies (as well as many others) allow us to ruminate on anything -- at first maybe the state of our physical being or the mystery of death. But here's the trick. If a viewer begins thinking about the safety of his or her parking spot or where to have lunch, does that count? If not, why not? Isn't parking and lunch just another part of life? Obviously something in the movie spurred us to think about such mundane issues. Here's another question: how often do we really think about such things? I mean, when do we really ponder the true meaning of where to have lunch? I would wager that, while watching Into Great Silence, one could do so. In several scenes, we watch the monks dining alone while looking out their sun-filled windows. What do they think about while eating? And, indeed, what are they eating?
The truth is that most viewers resist letting their thoughts wander. It's roughly the equivalent of letting the phone ring instead of answering it; it's not in our programming. We're more comfortable with rules, with movies that push all our buttons for us, leading us by the hand with no fuss or muss. It's not a matter of smart vs. dumb, it's a matter of control vs. letting go. And aren't we all control freaks these days? How many of us could actually leave home right now without our cell phone or Blackberry? One of the repeating refrains in Into Great Silence has to do with giving up everything one has. What does that mean? Does that mean memories and experience? How many of us could actually do it?
I'm just throwing all this out there. I don't necessarily want slow movies all the time. In 1999, my #1 and #2 movies were Eyes Wide Shut and Tom Tykwer's Run Lola Run; I liked to say that they were the slowest and fastest movies of the year. Truth to tell, I love movies that find their own, proper pace. I love fast movies just as much as slow movies. The movies that fall in-between are either too scared to slow down or too inept to speed up. I read somewhere about a film class that attempted to re-create scenes from Howard Hawks' His Girl Friday (1940), one of the fastest movies ever made. They couldn't do it. Hawks had the skill for speed, but also rhythm.
That's the key: rhythm. Hawks and Tykwer knew when to pause in their breakneck pace for a laugh or a sigh. We hear the phrase "roller coaster movie" used a lot these days, mainly to describe summer popcorn movies, but how many filmmakers remember the concept of slowly climbing several stories, anticipating the drop, or even rounding a corner and slowing down for a beat to catch your breath? Fast or slow, rhythm is a very delicate art. Dreamgirls (314 screens) and Hannibal Rising (218 screens) don't have it, while Children of Men (92 screens) and The Cave of the Yellow Dog (1 screen) do. And the beat goes on.

Mercedes-Benz will recall C-class sedans for taillight issue
Mercedes-Benz will recall about 284,000 of its C-class sedans because an electrical problem could cause its taillights to dim or fail.
Reuters said certain models of 2008-11 C300s, C350s and C63 sedans will be recalled, according to documents filed with the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Most of the cars that are being recalled were sold in the United States.
A Daimler spokesman said the company is not aware of any injuries related to the issue.
Dealers will replace the bulb holders and any corroded connectors. Owners will be sent a preliminary notification in June and a second letter when the parts are available – probably in August or September, Reuters said.

Cliché alert: "Safety Not Guaranteed" is a small film with, yes, a big heart.
As the indie comedy-cum-romance unspools, the protagonists, prone to rewriting past hurts, or revisiting happier times, find it's never too late to live in the present.
The story, helmed by first-time director Colin Trevorrow, puts an overbearing journalist and two geeky and insecure interns on the trail of the author of an unusual classified ad.
Aubrey Plaza of TV's "Parks and Recreation" steps out of past supporting film roles to play Darius, a twentysomething with low self-expectations and big eyes who is a newly minted intern sent to buy toilet paper in bulk at a Seattle magazine.
When overbearing reporter Jeff (Jake Johnson) pitches the idea of taking a trip to find out who's behind the ad, which reads "Wanted: Someone to go back in time with me ... Safety not guaranteed ...," Darius and Arnau (Karan Soni) volunteer to go along.
"I would definitely go back," Darius says, with typically understated humor. "Everything cool is gone. Aztecs. People killing themselves for one another."
After Jeff's stab at meeting the ad's eccentric and paranoid author, Kenneth (Mark Duplass), fails, it conveniently frees him to pursue his main interest: a high school girlfriend. It falls on Darius to establish contact with middle-aged Kenneth. Their first encounter occurs in a sexy and humorous scene staged in front of soup cans in a convenience store aisle.
Jeff tries to remake his past with the former flame. Kenneth speaks to Darius of wanting to return through time to save a girl he was once in love with, and sings a song he's written about her at Darius' urging. And Darius opens up, wishing she could go back in time to stop her mother from being murdered after she stopped at a store to buy her daughter chocolate milk.
Drawn to Kenneth's anguish and earnestness, Darius finds herself falling in love, even assisting him in the theft of a laser from a medical laboratory.
Meanwhile, there's the cloud of deception that follows Darius, Kenneth's kooky determination to pursue time travel and a story to be filed – all of which begins to unravel after Kenneth predictably discovers that Darius and Jeff are in cahoots.
The film packs a surprise ending, and a well-placed cameo by Kristen Bell. With smart writing and strong performances, "Safety Not Guaranteed" is a sweet film to spend time with in a darkened theater.

My mom liked the rosemary shortbread and I decided to share the recipe with you here. It's shortbread, so it's very easy to make, and it's rich and buttery. Be forewarned: it's not for the lighthearted and a type of recipe you won't find here often.
Rosemary Lavender Shortbread
Adapted from Saveur
Makes one 9"x9" pan
2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3-4 5" inch pieces of young, fresh rosemary (picked from my garden) minced
1/4 tsp dried Herbes de Provence
1/4 tsp dried Lavender flowers (dried from my garden)
2 sticks Organic unsalted butter, cold, diced
confectioner's sugar for dusting
Preheat oven 375 degrees. Line a 9x9 pan with parchment paper.
Place flour, sugar, rosemary, Herbes de Provence, and Lavender flowers in a bowl. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, cut in the butter until evenly sized crumbs form. Press the crumbs down evenly and densely into the 9x9 pan. It should come to about 1/2" deep. Bake for 25 minutes or until the shortbread turns light gold. Remove from pan, gently cut into small squares and cool. (It's easier to cut shortbread while it's hot.) Once cool, dust confectioner's sugar on top.
I packaged the shortbread in boxes lined with parchment paper and gave them to our moms on Mother's Day. Enjoy!

We soldier on
Through hell's high water
This war's a losing fight
The past is gone
The future further
Retreating out of sight
And after the fire has died
Will the light still remain in your eyes?
We twist and turn
With pains unmentioned
To speak is suicide
The hunger fades
With malnutrition
When tears and tongues collide
And after the fire has died (Let the fire die)
Will the light still remain in your eyes? (Turn to ashes)
And after the darkness has swallowed every sign
Will you still be there undefined?

It's been a rough football season so far for Class 5A Portland Interscholastic League teams, who are a combined 1-19 in nonleague games. One year ago, the six teams were 9-18 outside the league.
"We're a little bit down," Wilson coach Ken Duilio said of the league. "The PIL lost a ton of seniors, all across the board. It makes it kind of tough."
Wilson has the only nonleague win, beating shorthanded Parkrose 52-7. Jefferson, unbeaten in the regular season last year, has lost to Crescent Valley, Bend and Corvallis by an average margin of 33 points.
Duilio said the future looks brighter for the league, though. Franklin and Madison added junior varsity teams this year, in part because of the closure of Marshall. Cleveland and Benson are the only schools without JV teams.
"The league is going to be better next year," Duilio said. "Once everyone has JV teams, give it a couple years and our league will be competitive. I'm encouraged by the PIL's future. It's going to make all the difference."
The league title could be on the line Friday when Jefferson (2-3, 2-0) visits Wilson (2-3, 1-0). The two-time reigning league champion Democrats haven't lost a league game since 2008, when they fell 18-14 to a Duilio-coached Madison team.
"The PIL title goes through Jefferson," Duilio said. "We're the underdogs. You never look at what Jefferson did in the first few games as meaning anything because they usually get things together late in the season."

Ray Savino's office, situated just above the checkouts at his Tyrone grocery store, was perfectly located for him to interact with his patrons.
He would take the time to greet each of them, said family friend Nick Leasure, and never missed the opportunity to hear concerns about the store's offerings.
"He was very, very good with people," Leasure said. "He was definitely a people person."
Leasure said his mom would visit the grocery store and ask Savino about products that she couldn't find in stock, and he was always willing to help her.
"He always made her feel like anything she needed he wanted to hear about it, and that's the way that everybody felt when they went to the store," he said.
Savino, who operated Ray's Riverside beginning in 1972, died Thursday. He was 76. A memorial service will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. Monday.
The grocery store was much more than the source of Savino's livelihood, said Cary Simpson, president of Allegheny Radio Network, which owns WTRN in Tyrone. Simpson said the station would broadcast each year from Riverside's Halloween party, which allowed Savino to meet with hundreds of local kids.
Simpson said Savino wasn't very interested in his on-air duties during those events.
"He was so busy - he didn't want to talk on the radio. He wanted to be right there," Simpson said. "He wanted to talk to each of the kids. The gleam was in his eye."
Savino always made sure there were snacks and refreshments for the kids at the party, and he would be the first one to hand them out, Simpson said.
"I just smile when I think of it," he said.
Savino's schedule was typically easy to plot, Leasure said. Even if he didn't answer the phone, friends and family would know where to find him.
Leasure said Savino would mow his 8-acre plot every Thursday. It wasn't an activity he tended to miss.
"He was as happy as he was on those Thursday mornings," Leasure said. "You could never get a hold of him, but you knew exactly where he was going to be on those Thursday mornings."
Savino also had a deep love for sports, especially the Pittsburgh Pirates, Leasure said. Savino attended the Pirates' training camp regularly before that become a common practice, Leasure said.
He collected his fair share of baseball memorabilia, too. At one point, Savino had the autographs of about 70 percent of the players in the baseball Hall of Fame, Leasure said.
Penn State sports and outdoor pursuits like fishing were also among his favorites, Leasure said.
Local sports didn't escape his interest, either. Leasure said he was a basketball player for Tyrone and at St. Francis. As a gift, after Leasure entered medical school, Savino mounted old basketball jerseys for him, he said.
"His life revolved around his family and his interests, and he loved and enjoyed those," Leasure said. "He meant a lot to a lot of people."

Remembering the enchantment you felt as a child could make you feel young at heart today. Perhaps it is the allure of children around you or your own childlike nature, but you might feel the pull of your spirit wanting to come out to play. Getting in touch with this part of yourself, either by seeing the world through childlike eyes or by engaging in some form of spontaneous play, could make you feel a greater sense of vitality and oneness with the world. As you connect with the child within you today, you can think about what it is to be truly free from worrying about what others think of you or what you have to do. Try to let yourself experience the joy of simply being, and you may find that your desires and wants become more simple and pure.
Our spirit is integrally intertwined with our inner child. As adults we may think that we don't need to listen to the calling of our childlike nature, but play in any form allows us to get in touch with the part of ourselves that is free from judgment, criticism, or blame, or in other words, our souls. When we connect with this energy, we infuse our lives with a sense of eagerness to explore things further and also an awareness of just how wonderful our lives are. Playing today will bring you closer to the magic that lies within and the marvels that surround you.

LAWRENCE TWP. — The township committee met in executive session Monday to choose G. Erwin Sheppard to replace his brother, Mayor Tom Sheppard, who was elected to the Board of Chosen Freeholders last week with one year left of his term on the committee.
Tom Sheppard has served on the committee for at least 20 years, according to Committeeman Elmer Bowman.
"I have worked with him for over 19 years. I hope the board will take advantage of his years of experience," Bowman said of the outgoing mayor. "There is no such thing as Democrat or Republican here. We have worked together successfully."
The Lawrence Township committee has been unusual for its lack of dissent. Committeemen take turns being mayor for two years each, no matter what their political party.
Sheppard will be the only Republican on the freeholder board.
G. Erwin Sheppard will be sworn in on New Year's Day. With brothers Tom and David, he has participated in the operation of Sheppard Farms, in Cedarville. All three have been active in public life.
Others under consideration for the township committee position were Paul Gilson Jr., Everett Laning III and Richard Tarallo, who was a candidate in the last election.
Also at the committee's November meeting, an ordinance was introduced regulating recycling and source separation of solid waste. A public hearing will be held at the Dec. 14 meeting.
The committee agreed to hire Steve Winter Associates, of East Brunswick, to do an energy audit. The sum of $123,404 of the $17,872 cost would be reimbursable and if the recommendations are followed, another 25 percent would be reimbursed.
The committee awarded a contract to Woodruff Energy to replace three ceiling-mounted heaters in rescue squad headquarters. The 25-year-old heaters are cracked, said Committeeman Joseph Miletta. Woodruff submitted a quote of $5,775 for the work.
It was announced that the annual tree-lighting ceremony will be on Dec. 4, at 7 p.m., at "the point."
Beaver's Tree Service assisted by putting the lights on the tree, an annual tradition, as is the singing of carols around the tree. The celebration will continue at the senior center, where there will be face painting, balloon animals, crafts for kids and refreshments, courtesy of Colonial Bank.

Pair of pockets
About 1745
Museum no. T:87:A&B-1978
This pair of quilted yellow silk pockets is part of an ensemble with a matching bodice. Such a bright shade of yellow was popular for women's dress from the 1740s to the 1770s. Many bodices and aprons of the mid-1700s used the technique of quilting for both decoration and warmth. An elaborate quilted scroll adorns the pocket edges, with a plain diaper pattern in the centre.
The top edge of each pocket is angled slightly, possibly to make the pockets sit correctly over the hips. Whether these were fastened in front or behind the waist is not yet clear from documentation and images of women wearing pockets.

…i love Torts' reaction to the game. Despite giving up the lead, the only thing Torts cares about is the two points. He knows the Bruins are a good team, his team played hard and there's no reason to dwell on the bad. Counter productive when the team is going so well.
…was that Torts criticizing the linesman at the end of the interview? Looks like they'll be a few less dollars donated to dog shelters by Torts this month.
Here's the players' reaction…
…sounds like the players learned that they're going to give up a lot of third period leads if they continue to sit back and stop skating. Especially against teams as good as the Bruins. Don't anticipate this will be a problem going forward.

Five men were arrested early today on charges of running an illegal gambling operation primarily focused on poker games in an Edison apartment, police said.
Authorities said the operators charged membership fees to enter and took a cut of the gambling proceeds. Nine patrons of the establishment also received summonses for illegal gambling, police said.
The arrests followed a month-long investigation into the operation on Brunswick Avenue, said Lt. Joseph Shannon, a spokesman for the Edison Township Police Department. Authorities believe the operation began in March, Shannon said.
There were nine people playing poker in the residence when police raided it at 12:05 a.m. today, authorities said. They received summonses for illegal gambling. Authorities also seized $3,000 in cash, poker tables and other assorted gambling equipment, Shannon said.

Levis: From a quick fix to the world's best-selling jeans
Levi's jeans are well known throughout the world for their quality and durablility, but do you know the history of how the jeans were were originally created by Levi Strauss for gold miners in the 1800s' California Gold Rush?
In 1853, Levi Strauss, a German Jewish immigrant, moved to San Francisco to open a branch of his brother's wholesale dry goods store. He began selling clothing, blankets, fabrics and other items to small stores throughout the region.
One of his customers, Jacob Davis, was a Latvian Jewish immigrant, in Reno, Nevada. As a tailor, Jacob frequently purchased bolts of denim cloth from Levi Strauss & Co.'s wholesale house. Davis found himself repeatedly reinfocing torn pants, and had an idea to to use copper rivets to reinforce the pants at stress points. He added rivets to the button fly and pocket corners.
Davis knew that the idea would take off, but he didn't have the money required to obtain a patent, so he wrote to Strauss suggesting that they go into business together.
Levi accepted Jacob's offer, and they applied for a patent. On May 20, 1873, they recieved U.S. Patent 139,121 from the United States Patent and Trademark Office. This date is now considered the official birthday of "blue jeans."
According to company advertising, Levi sold his first jeans to gold miners during the California Gold Rush, but it's possible that only the original designs by Davis were sold to miners specifically.
They began officially manufacturing denim overalls in the 1870s. They created their first pair of Levis 501 jeans in the 1890s. Back then, it was simply called "XX," an industry term meaning the highest quality. That style that went on to become the world's best-selling item of clothing.
The company has changed and adpated since then, but the remarkable thing is that it is still a private company, owned by Levi Strauss' descendants.

Retail giant Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN ) is sitting close to all-time highs after reporting its third-quarter results. Investors cheered Amazon meeting bottom-line expectations of a $0.09 loss, but providing a healthy revenue beat by reporting $17.09 billion.
However, investors continue to shrug off delays of Amazon's set-top box dubbed Fire Tube. Do these delays signal a greater trend? Is Peter Lynch's theory of deworsification applicable here?
Amazon uses a forked version of Google's (NASDAQ: GOOGL ) Android operating system--Fire OS. Also, it is reported that Amazon will allow third-party apps available on Fire OS. What does the mean to the existing market, including Google's own Chromecast and Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) TV? Can Amazon disrupt this market like they disrupted retail? What do investors of Amazon, Google, and Apple need to know?
In this segment of Tech Teardown, Erin Kennedy discusses Amazon's Fire Tube delays with Jamal Carnette and Evan Niu, CFA.

Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
Bristol-Myers Squibb and Isis Pharmaceuticals are collaborating to discover, develop, and commercialize antisense drugs for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease. In particular, they will focus on compounds targeting proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin 9 (PCSK9), which helps regulate the amount of cholesterol in the bloodstream.
"There is a clear need for new treatment options for many patients at high risk for cardiovascular disease due to high LDL-cholesterol levels," says Francis Cuss, M.D., senior vp, discovery and exploratory clinical research, Bristol-Myers Squibb. "PCSK9 is an attractive, genetically validated target in the field of cardiovascular disease, and Isis' antisense technology offers us a strong therapeutic platform for potentially bringing new cardiovascular medicines rapidly to market."
Bristol-Myers Squibb will pay a $15-million upfront licensing fee and will provide at least $9 million in research funding over a period of three years. Isis will also receive up to $168 million for the achievement of prespecified development and regulatory milestones for the first drug in the collaboration as well as additional milestones associated with development of follow-on compounds. Bristol-Myers Squibb will pay Isis royalties on sales of products resulting from the collaboration.
Isis licensed to Bristol-Myers Squibb exclusive access to its PCSK9 research program. This initiative recently produced new data on the mechanism by which PCSK9 contributes to high levels of LDL cholesterol, according to Bristol-Myers Squibb. With its second-generation antisense PCSK9 compounds, Isis has shown in mice that reducing PCSK9 leads to increased levels of LDL receptor and consequently to lower LDL-cholesterol in the bloodstream.
While Bristol-Myers Squibb will fund all activities under the collaboration, both companies will be responsible for preclinical development. Bristol-Myers Squibb will be responsible for clinical development, regulatory, and commercialization activities. In addition, it will work with Isis to leverage Isis' extensive oligonucleotide medicinal chemistry expertise for identification of follow-on PCSK9 antisense drugs with advanced antisense chemistries.

Paroxysmal tachycardia is uncommon in the newborn, although in a few cases this condition was diagnosed even in utero.1-4 The early recognition of this rhythm disturbance is of major importance, as when untreated congestive heart failure rapidly develops. On the other hand, prompt treatment frequently leads to recovery of the infants. Many cases pass unrecognized or are misdiagnosed as upper respiratory infection or pneumonia.The clinical picture, prognosis, and treatment in older children has repeatedly been discussed,5-8 but reports of this condition in the newborn are scant.9-11,13 Among about 200 cases of paroxysmal tachycardia described in the past 65 years, only a few occurred in the first days of life.1-3,10 Supraventricular tachycardia is the commoner type of paroxysmal tachycardia in infancy, while atrial flutter is rare and only single cases have been reported in the newborn.2,3,11,13 No cases of ventricular tachycardia or atrial fibrillation

Even as Hurricane Rita pushed water over the Industrial Canal levee into New Orleans' Lower Ninth Ward today, East Jefferson Levee District President Patrick Bossetta said the Lake Pontchartrain levee in Metairie and Kenner was holding fast, just as it did during Hurricane Katrina.
"East Jefferson is in great shape, although we do have some erosion on the new levee reach that's just been built because it's all mud. There's no grass yet, " he said.
But Bossetta said even that deterioration, between Causeway Boulevard and the Bonnabel pumping station, was minimized by the new rock jetty the Levee District built over the past few months. Bossetta said the dike first proved its worth during Katrina Aug. 29, by breaking waves before they could slam the levee and shoreline with their full force. He said it was pulling its weight again during the early hours of Hurricane Rita.
He said Levee District Executive Director Fran Campbell had made a priority of rebuilding the jetty, which was damaged and scattered by Katrina, so that it was able to provide a front line defense for the east bank of Jefferson Parish as Rita barreled toward the Gulf Coast.
"Fran commandeered a number of bulldozers and pushed all the rocks back up, " Bossetta said. "This project has proved to me, and I think it should prove to everyone, the value of foreshore protection."
Although the water level in Lake Pontchartrain was up about 4½ feet by mid-day Friday, Bossetta the levee was in no danger of being topped.
"Our levee wasn't topped during Katrina, except for a little splash in one area around Chickasaw Street, and even if it rises another four feet during Rita, it will still only get to the toe of the levee, " he said. "I'm convinced there will be no problem with our levees in East Jefferson, and I am thrilled."

Scientists look at climate change, the superstorm
WASHINGTON -- Climate scientist Michael Oppenheimer stood along the Hudson River and watched his research come to life as Hurricane Sandy blew through New York.
Just eight months earlier, the Princeton University professor reported that what used to be once-in-a-century devastating floods in New York City would soon happen every three to 20 years. He blamed global warming for pushing up sea levels and changing hurricane patterns.
New York "is now highly vulnerable to extreme hurricane-surge flooding," he wrote.
For more than a dozen years, Oppenheimer and other climate scientists have been warning about the risk for big storms and serious flooding in New York.
Still, they say it's unfair to blame climate change for Sandy and the destruction it left behind. They cautioned that they cannot yet conclusively link a single storm to global warming, and any connection is not as clear and simple as environmental activists might contend.
Some individual parts of Sandy and its wrath seem to be influenced by climate change, several climate scientists said.
First, there's sea level rise. Water levels around New York are a nearly a foot higher than they were 100 years ago, said Penn State University climate scientist Michael Mann.
Add to that the temperature of the Atlantic Ocean, which is about 2 degrees warmer on average than a century ago, said Katharine Hayhoe, a climate scientist at Texas Tech University. Warm water fuels hurricanes.
