The news of the week is two veteran race car drivers will be back on track shortly. As reported in The Sentinel on Thursday, Keith Kauffman will be in action tonight at Port Royal driving the Mike Heffner owned No. 27 that has been piloted this year by Sean and Curt Michael. Sean Michael was the teams full-time driver until being injured in a crash at Williams Grove Speedway. The deal is for Kauffman to drive the car through speedweek plus a couple other shows. Rumors continue to circulate that another name driver will be leaving the area to race on the road. Kauffman is reportedly in line to drive that car should the change take place.
The other good news is that Smokey Snellbaker is returning to action driving the Mike Callahan owned super sportsman car. Snellbaker will primarily race at Williams Grove Speedway. He may also run some 358 sprint car races.
Last weeks Appalachian Mountains late model speedweek is history and "Kid Rocket" Josh Richards won the title. Richards hails from Shinnston W.V. Richards told me last Friday night at Bedford Speedway that he is ready to have his nickname upgraded to " Adult Rocket." Richards won the title by one point over Jeremy Miller of Gettysburg.
The late model speedweek will be held again in 2010. There will likely be a small switch in participating tracks. Four speedways that were not involved in the series this season have already expressed interest in being added to the show. I doubt that all four will get in, but one or two might. Hagerstown, Winchester, Selinsgrove and Bedford all were satisfied with their events. Port Royal and Lincoln were rained out. Williams Grove had a poor fan count in part due to bad weather.
Congratulations goes out to Chad Layton on winning his first race in the Middleswarth No. 7. Layton won at Central PA Speedway in Clearfield Sunday night. I made the trip to this All-Star race and I liked the track. The only problem was the dust, which was quite heavy. The racing was good and controversy occurred with three laps to go. Greg Hodnett was all over Layton in traffic when he ran out of fuel. Several other competitors did as well. The race was stopped for fuel, but Hodnett didn't get his spot back as he dropped out under green flag conditions. I don't know how many laps were run, but I will say it was a lot. The All Stars-mandate, but don't require, 30 gallon fuel tanks on their cars. Each racer still has to make weight after the race no matter which size tank is used. A bunch of guys were coming up short and the race was stopped. In fact, Layton said he was out of fuel. Mark Smith finished third and had a good point. Smith had enough fuel and was not out. The two cars ahead of him had smaller tanks and did. Smith wasn't pleased with the decision to red flag the race and felt he may have won the event had the fuel stop not taken place. Smith may have felt short changed for running what was mandated. Anyway, Layton won and was joined by sponsor Al Hamilton in the winners circle. Hamilton is originally from the Clearfield area and served as honorary starter for the feature.
The street stock class at Clearfield ran a unique feature which I enjoyed. Tim Krape finished third and was the show. Krape drove his own car and came from mid pack in the three segment race. 24 cars started the feature and ran ten laps. The race was checker flagged and the field was reduced to 15 cars. The race restarted double file and ran five more laps. The field was cut to ten cars who again started double file and ran five laps for $400 dollars to win. It was definitely exciting.
The 305 sprint cars were also part of the Clearfield event and there were plenty of people from home that raced or attended the event. The class puts on good racing wherever it goes.
Trevor Lewis raced in Jim Nace's No. 6 car at Central PA on Sunday. Lewis has taken over for Kevin Nouse as the driver of the car, but had mechanical problems during the feature.
Hopefully Kevin Nouse will land another 410 ride soon. Nouse is a good driver and person. It makes a person realize how tough it is to land and keep a good 410 sprint car ride in our area.
Lewistown's Daryl Stimeling did a great job finishing second in last Saturday night's sprint car feature at Port Royal Speedway. Stimeling re-passed Greg Hodnett on the final lap and the cheers were loud. Hodnett briefly got by Stimeling and may have thought Stimeling was a lapped car. Not so. The Bolger team has looked good the last couple weeks. They had sticker tires on the rear of their car to start the feature. If there were ever a team that could use some help, it's these guys. They are proving they can do it. Maybe someone should start a Beer Hill Gang type sponsorship for Stimeling's team at Port Royal. That group helped Lucas Wolfe along the way in starting his career.
Kenny Schrader is racing in the World of Outlaws Late Model race Wednesday at Big Diamond Speedway. There will be a meet and greet prior to the race. Big Diamond replaced Port Royal on the Outlaw late model schedule.
Ohio sprint car speedweek is here and local driver Stevie Smith is planning on traveling west. The All-Stars sanction the series and a $50,000 dollar bonus is being offered to any driver that can win four out of eight feature events. Attica Speedway kicked off action last night.
Next Friday night the Bedford Speedway hosts Fan Appreciation Night. General admission is just eight dollars for the limited late model race. Street stocks, hobby cruisers and 4 Cyl. stock cars are also part of the show. Racing starts at 7:15 p.m.
Tonight at Port Royal the sprint cars are joined by late models, pro stocks and powder puff cars. Action starts at 7.
Lincoln Speedway hosts the Daryl Gohn/Glenn Gohn Sr. Memorial for sprint cars. There's also 358 sprint cars, thunder cars and kids big wheel racing.
At Selinsgrove the 358 sprint cars are joined by late models, pro stocks and roadrunners. The sprint cars compete in the sixth annual Joe Whitcomb Memorial race which pays the winner $ 1,771.00. Whitcomb passed away on June 21, 2003 from injuries sustained while racing at the track.
In other news, Roger Penske has reached a tentative deal to purchase Saturn from General Motors. All dealers will retain their franchises. Penske will continue to have GM build the cars for at least two years. He did say he will enter discussions with builders world wide to build the cars in the future. Penske does not want to build the cars himself but prefers to be a distributor of the brand. Penske will consider involving Saturn in racing. He did say the Aura is "tailor made" for NASCAR but that nay such plans would be 200 miles down the road. Penske said the Grand-AM road race level is where he would likely start. 13,000 Saturn employees get to keep their jobs for the time being as a result of Penske's pending purchase.
Richard Childress was elected to the Board of Directors for the National Rifle Association. Childress joins Ted Nugent, Lt. Col. Oliver North, Tom Selleck and Karl Malone on the NRA Board.
Jeremy Mayfield has been counter sued by NASCAR for violating the substance abuse policy. NASCAR alleges Mayfiled willingly used medications in violation of policy with out disclosing the same to the doctor who runs the drug test program. NASCAR states they would not have allowed Mayfield to race while taking the medication had they know he was taking it. It sounds to me like both sides are lining up for a long legal battle.
The Cup cars race this week at Sonoma, CA on the road course. TNT has TV coverage from 3:30 p.m. until 8:30 p.m. The race starts at 5:00.
Until next time please drive safely!

Searching for Utopia
One writer's past converges with a small town's history on the banks of the Ohio River.
Jessica Esemplare
The southern Ohio heat is visible. It pools in dips and valleys across the endless stretch of road, creating the illusion of water, and floats next to us on U.S. Rte. 52 above the blacktop, taking on an ethereal form. The small river towns blur together in the humidity, despite the fact that they all have distinct stories to tell. Somewhere behind us — about 50 miles to the west — is Cincinnati, but city life feels light-years away as my husband and I get closer to Utopia.
This small, unincorporated town on the border of Clermont and Brown counties receives little fanfare in Ohio, short of the occasional salute to its unique history. And it's no wonder: Blink, and you'll literally miss the small sign marking Utopia and the Village Market convenience store on the edge of town. It covers less than one mile of Rte. 52 and has only two residential streets that snake down toward the Ohio River, dead-ending at its banks. There are no antiques stores, no mom-and-pop restaurants, no river walk. In fact, there is no access to the river at all, and the homes along its shore post a variety of signs threatening trespassers with dogs, guns and, in one case, an attack pig.
In short, Utopia doesn't rank among Ohio's idyllic river towns. Rather, its appeal lies in its mythical stories and remote location. Tales of spirits and apparitions roaming along the river are the draw, and at night it's not difficult to picture this place as the ghost town it is rumored to be.
As a child, I loved the supernatural, and I sought it out through ghost stories, haunted passageways and cemeteries at night. I was the Girl Scout who told the story of Three-Fingered Willy on camping trips, and then — deep into the night — did my best 10-year-old rendition of him, tucking my thumb and index finger into my palm and scraping away at the canvas tents, sending screaming campers into the adult cabin.
Years later, I still believe in ghosts, despite a lack of firsthand evidence that they exist. And although I no longer consider midnight the witching hour, when I stumble on a ghost story with deep historical roots, I need to learn more. That's how — armed with nothing more than a lack of common sense — my husband and I ended up on a five-hour drive in search of Utopia.
The town's original founders had high hopes of creating an ideal society, much like the imaginary island of perfection described by Thomas More in his 16th-century book Utopia. Charles Fourier, a French philosopher and one of the three most prominent Utopian Socialists, founded the Ohio community in 1844, bringing with him pre-communist ideals that involved sharing work and profits in self-contained cooperative units. But Fourier was as zealous as he was enterprising, and the locals whom he recruited soon lost interest in his philosophies and bizarre predictions — namely, that the world was about to enter a period of peace that would last 35,000 years, that the seas would lose their salt and become oceans of lemonade, and that all women would have four lovers or husbands simultaneously.
As the debts of the community mounted (and, not surprisingly, the oceans remained too salty to drink), Fourier's followers lost faith and soon began to search for another Utopia. A mere two years after he settled the land, he sold all 1,400 acres to John O. Wattles, a spiritualist leader with some peculiar notions of his own. Wattles' goal was to find a remote location in which his band of followers could conduct séances and summon the spirits of America's deceased ancestors, such as George Washington and Benjamin Franklin, to help guide the country through what he viewed as unreliable leadership. He wanted to avoid the persecution and violence his followers had experienced in states like Wisconsin and Michigan, and Utopia's remote setting — along with its proximity to water — made it the perfect location for the spiritualists.
But the water he found so attractive would also prove to be the demise of Utopia's new residents, and the spiritualists would be around for even less time than the settlement's original founders. Shortly after Wattles moved about 100 people to the area, he had them build an underground church (away from the skeptical eyes of disbelievers) and a three-story shelter at the edge of the river that could only be seen when the water level was extremely low. The house was built quickly and poorly in an attempt to get everyone inside before winter descended. Almost immediately after its completion, Wattles held a party. On that night, December 13, 1847, the weather grew rainy and violent and the river flooded suddenly, killing nearly all of the spiritualists. The few who remained left shortly thereafter.
Those who died are rumored to haunt Utopia. A variety of stories have been told, ranging from flashing lights and weird noises to all-out sightings of "dripping" ghosts, mainly in and around the former home of Wattles on rainy nights. Many past residents have given detailed (and matching) descriptions of six people who enter the home, walk up the stairs and disappear.
The only moisture present on the night my husband and I visited was the humidity. It hadn't rained in weeks, but the air was heavy. I envisioned the ghosts hibernating in the murky water of the Ohio, holding séances and biding their time until they could resurface as a reminder of everything that went wrong with Utopia's beginnings. The locals seemed just as surreal as the town's ancestors. As we drove up and down the side streets, middle-aged men emerged from modest homes or trailers and stood barefoot on the hot pavement, each silently watching as we scouted ghost-hunting locations near the river. When asked about sightings, the owner of the Village Market broke eye contact and lowered her voice, eyes darting from side to side to see who was listening. "The woman up the road says she sometimes hears things at night. I've never heard anything."
She tried to sound mocking, but her posture gave her away. Suspicion kept her from elaborating or giving me an address, and I think she intentionally steered us in the wrong direction by vaguely describing a house with a chain-link fence that didn't seem to exist. I imagine that her guarded nature grew out of a reasonable fear that I would set up camp until the dry spell was over, which has probably happened in the past.
As the day wore on and darkness loomed, the idea of drenched ghosts sent my imagination into overdrive. I couldn't help reminding myself that so many horror movies start out this way: A young, unsuspecting couple wanders into a remote area at night … and I am always the person yelling at the screen, until the inevitable happens and I cover my eyes. I wasn't a Girl Scout anymore, and my adult intuition — along with a healthy belief in karma — kicked in.
Since there was limited access to the riverbank, my husband and I chose to park by the Ohio Historical Marker, which was erected in 2003 and marks the spot where Wattles' people died. We pulled over, killed the lights and waited. It was dark, quiet and decidedly creepy. Stories from my camping days floated through my head. "This could be where Three-Fingered Willy lives," I thought. In the distance, an old house sat illuminated by a dim spotlight, a faded American flag painted on its siding. I noticed some movement in the darkness. Squinting, I tried to focus.
"Do you see that?" I asked my husband, excited and scared.
"I don't see anything," he answered. Through the shadows, a man came slowly toward us.
"Maybe we should get out of here," I said, watching my husband's hand hover over the ignition while scanning the yard through the passenger window. Some time passed, and I let out a deep breath as heavy as the night air around us. That's when I saw him approaching again. I don't know if he had been watching us from somewhere secluded, or if he just reappeared, but I had seen enough. "Go! Go, go, go!"
My husband revved the engine, hit the gas, and we skidded toward Rte. 52. I kept my head turned, searching the road behind us. As the sign for Utopia grew smaller, I noticed headlights in the distance. "Do you think he's following us?"
I didn't get an answer. My husband held the steering wheel firmly and kept a straight path west, heading back to city life.
Most likely, the man was a resident trying to enforce the town's "no trespassing" policy. Still, the incident gave me shivers in spite of the southern Ohio heat, and brought me back to a time when utopia was a campground where we told horror stories and toasted marshmallows around a fire.
While we didn't see ghosts that night, we did experience a town with more legends than most of Ohio's largest cities –– not to mention, a history as deep as the river that once drew believers to an elusive Utopia.

Check your cat's ears twice a month for dirt or wax buildup. Gently wipe the visible part of the ear with a cotton ball and cat-specific ear cleaner or a wet washcloth. Do not go into the ear canal, as this can cause damage. If dirt or matter accumulates inside the canal, it must be flushed out professionally.
On average, clip your cat's nails monthly. "If you have not trimmed your cat's nails before, practice on a toothpick," Tumminello says. "A cat's nails and toothpicks have about the same feel to them when being cut." Be careful not to trim into the quick or pink area of the nail, as it will hurt the cat and cause bleeding.
Don't Forget the TeethAll cats should have their teeth examined by a veterinarian at an annual checkup. You can brush your cats' teeth between veterinary visits."Cats do build up a lot of tartar and plaque on their teeth, because they don't really chew on things. [Home dental care] helps keep the plaque from settling," says Dara Samson, owner of Wags to Whiskers Pet Grooming in Long Beach, Calif.
More Than Cat GroomingCat grooming should be a natural extension of the love and care owners already have for their cats, and a little love can go a long way."Handling, touching, petting and loving your cat daily will help when it comes to building trust, which is a big hurdle to cross when grooming your cat," Samson says.

Dental Devices Market
Dental devices consist of tools used to examine, manipulate, restore, and remove teeth and surrounding oral structures, required during dental treatments. The market for dental devices consists of various segments like general and diagnostic devices market, treatment based devices market, dental consumables market, and other dental devices market. These include a range of dental care devices like crowns and bridges, dental chairs and equipment, implants, lasers, biomaterials, dental radiology equipment, oral hygiene products, and toothbrushes.
The growth of this market is the highest in US and Europe where the consumer population can afford high quality, costly dental procedures. This acts as a catalyst for the growth and popularity of implants and cosmetic treatments, along with the increasing demand for better orthodontic products. Equipments that feature advanced technology, like intra-oral cameras, lasers, digital radiography, and CAD/CAM systems, are giving the speediest gains to manufacturers. Use of hi-tech equipments to expand procedure capabilities, improve productivity, and attract new patients with a high-end office appearance, is gaining immense importance at the dentists' end. Manufacturers are also benefitting from increased dental chair purchases, as dentists make efforts towards creating comfortable settings for their patients. The market is also experiencing a rising demand from the younger patient population for cosmetic and aesthetic dentistry procedures, despite the high costs and no insurance benefits. The increasing number of dental care providers is enabling end users to avail of these services at a larger level, thereby boosting the global dental market returns.
The dental equipment market is experiencing growth mainly due to the increasing incidences of oral disease across the globe. Emerging technology has greatly reduced the overall turnaround time for dental procedures, while improving efficiency of dental practitioners. Developments in the fields of biotechnology-based dental biomaterials and tissue regenerative material have enabled dentists to offer more natural and enduring dental solutions. Dentists are now educating their patients about dental products, which has helped immensely in improving customer awareness about latest products and technologies. Changing consumer needs and a rapid shift towards cosmetic dentistry is expected to further drive the market for high-end dental solutions.
The US and Europe (mainly France, Germany, and UK) collectively account for more than half the worldwide market for dental equipments. This is mainly due to factors such as ageing population, increasing public awareness of dental health, and the growing emphasis on periodontal and cosmetic dentistry. There is an upsurge in the demand for preventive treatment and cosmetic surgery, while the market for traditional products such as fillings and dentures is witnessing moderate growth. Some factors triggering the growth of the market for dental lasers include features such as precise cutting, painless drilling, better and long-lasting filling capacity, and greater control. Developing countries including India, China, and Brazil also present vast growth opportunities for players in this market. Huge patient populations and favorable socio-economic conditions in these regions have led to an amplified demand for dentists, dental services, dental consumable products, and equipments.
The major players in this market include Procter & Gamble, Danaher Corporation, A-dec Inc., Sirona Dental Systems, DENTSPLY International, Nobel Biocare Holding AG, and KaVo Dental Corporation, amongst others.

Actual notches in the win column, especially at home, are much more important if the Hatters are to reach one of their primary goals for the season – earning a spot in the Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament in March.
After a pair of tough losses on their recent road trip to Nashville, including a heart-breaking 104-103 overtime loss at Lipscomb, the Hatters return to the Edmunds Center tonight to face Florida Gulf Coast. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.
The game will be televised regionally by Comcast-Charter Sports Southeast (CSS) and will be available throughout the world on the internet via ESPN3.com and HatterVision. Matt Stewart and Sonny Smith will handle the call for CSS and ESPN3.com while Murray Miller and Harry Arnold will have the call on HatterVision.
The HatterVision broadcast will be available free of charge and will include coverage of the halftime presentation of the new Stetson Athletics mascot.
For Stetson (7-11, 4-4) and Florida Gulf Coast (8-10, 4-4) tonight's game provides an opportunity to finish the first half of the A-Sun season with a winning record and momentum heading into the second half of the year.
Both teams are coming off the always tough trip to Nashville last weekend. The Hatters dropped a 13-point decision at Belmont in addition to the overtime loss to Lipscomb. FGCU fared better against the Bison, winning 84-80 in overtime, but not against Belmont, which handed the Eagles a 42-point loss, their worst of the year.
Stetson has increasingly turned to junior center Adam Pegg in conference play. The Clearwater native is averaging 16.0 points per game in league play and is coming off a career-best 28-point, 14-rebound performance. He averaged 24.0 points during the two games in Nashville.
FGCU has been led in league play by a pair of guards, junior Sherwood Brown (12.5 ppg) and freshman Bernard Thompson (12.4). The Eagles have picked up two of their four league victories away from Alico Arena in Fort Myers, but those are their only road wins, in 10 games, this year.
The series between Stetson and FGCU is tied at four wins apiece, with both teams holding a 3-1 record on their home floor. The teams played a pair of close games last year, with the Eagles winning both.
FGCU won in DeLand for the first time in a 111-103 triple overtime thriller last January and then took a 64-60 decision in the rematch a month later in Fort Myers.

Donald Penn Slams Buccaneers Blog On Twitter
Mark Cook of PewterReport.com explained in a catch-all column that Tampa Bay Buccaneers tackle Donald Penn ?has failed to meet most of the weight clauses in his most recent contract.?
Penn didn?t like that very much.
In a tweet directed at our NBC Sports Pro Football Talk, Penn declares that he?s ?330 right now in the best shape I been in in a long time stop reporting bullshit I made all my weigh in last yr n this yr.?
He later added: ?I still shut down the best DEs in the game n ball out every Sunday I gave up 4 sacks all yr last season get yo shit right.?
Penn then apparently realized that the information come from Pro Football Talk but from Pewter Report, so he directed this to their Twitter account: ?keep reporting bullshit on me n see the next time I do a interview wit u yo shit is lies get the facts 1st Cook b4 u say shit.?
This article here is some bullshit n false I been working hard n putting in work messed up my whole weekend— Donald Penn (@DPENN70) May 27, 2013
I can't wait 4 the season 2 start now so I can do what I been doing my whole life proving people wrong #Truth— Donald Penn (@DPENN70) May 27, 2013

• This article describes a patient who experienced the rapid onset of an irreversible behavioral change while vacationing in La Paz, Bolivia (altitude, 4070 m). The only lesions demonstrated on a magnetic resonance imaging scan were bilateral hemorrhages in the globus pallidus. The behavior change was characterized by apathy and lack of motivation, features commonly associated with bilateral frontal lobe disease. This case is a further demonstration of how subcortical lesions can produce behavioral syndromes that are clinically indistinguishable from classic cortical syndromes. It is cases such as this that show how a strict localizationist concept of behavioral function is too restrictive and how it is necessary to consider a wide network of neuronal interconnections when explaining the mechanism of a dissolution of complex higher functions.

Teaching Kids How to Budget and SaveKristen Howerton
My own family of origin has a less than stellar track-record when it comes to budgeting. My dad was somewhat of a miser: he really didn't like to spend money but that often manifested in ways that were frustrating for both myself and my mom growing up. On the other and, my mom was an ardent shopper, and I have many memories of her putting things on layaway and shopping for things that she clearly could not afford. When I was a teenager, my father discovered that my mother was in serious debt, something that she had hidden from him. So as an adult, I have had to navigate budgeting for myself without an ideal model from my parents. I find that I struggle with both overspending and over-saving. I would really love to give my kids the gift of learning how to budget and save at an early age.
Here are some of the techniques we are using to try to help our kids understand the concept of money and saving:
1. We started a savings account for college.
All of my children know that we have a savings account for them for their college years. While I don't think they truly understand the magnitude of saving for college, they do understand that at many birthdays and holidays, there relatives are contributing to this account. I think that being open about this will help them appreciate both of the practice of saving, and the gift of saving money for others. I'm also hoping that they will be grateful when they are ready to go to college, and don't have to scramble to pay for their education.
2. We have them keep a piggy bank.
It's cliché, but it's also effective. Each of my kids have a piggy bank where they can save loose change and money that is given to them. Every so often, we will take the piggy bank to a place that counts change, and I will give them the money and dollar bills and let them choose it however they would like. There are certain things that we don't provide for the kids, that we reserve as a special occasion for money they have saved. In our family, this involves trips to Starbucks, sodas, and certain types of toys. Because we reserve certain treats for saved money, they are very motivated to save.
3. We are open about our own budgeting.
I don't ever want my kids to be worried about adult financial issues, but at the same time I am open with them about the fact that we are budgeting as well. I let them know when there are certain items of privilege that we are choosing not to buy because we don't have the money for them. I don't want them to believe that money or our bank accounts are limitless wells. We talk about budgeting in front of them, and allow them to hear about our decision-making process when we are saving money for things like vacations or other extras.
4. We require them to earn their toys and other privileges.
Are kids are growing up any materialistic society, and it can be a struggle when they hear about new toys from friends, or just from watching TV. In our house we've instituted a role for new toys, and they are earned through good behavior. This way, I'm not constantly fending off questions about "Can I have this, can I have that?" In our house, the answer is, "You can earn it".
5. We model giving generously.
We really tried to impart to our kids that a part of our income is spent on charity. Each of our children sponsors a child in a Third World country, and they are very involved in the process. We also have a rule that for any new item but into the home, we donate an item. This serves to keep us from acquiring too much, but it also gets the kids engaged in the idea of donating our things, even when they are things that we still enjoy. We also encourage our kids to take a portion of their piggy banks savings and choose a charitable cause to make a donation.
I would love to hear ideas from other parents, especially since my kids are relatively young. How are you helping to teach your kids about budgeting? How are you helping to teach them about saving, and about giving as well?

With the outbreak of the Second Palestinian Intifada in September 2000, the environment in the U.N. became increasingly hostile towards Israel. Numerous General Assembly resolutions condemning Israel for its response to Palestinian violence and terrorism were passed with little or no mention of Palestinian violence and terrorism. At the same time, new efforts began to combat anti-Semitism and to promote Israeli- Palestinian negotiations.
The Durban Conference
The U.N. 's treatment of Israel hit a new low with the 2001 U.N. World Conference Against Racism in Durban, South Africa. Members of the U.N. and a host of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) participated in this third international conference on racism, which was intended to examine effective mechanisms to combat racial discrimination and promote understanding and awareness of this global problem.
Despite these laudable goals, the conference was hijacked by a number of NGOs and Arab block states who attempted to focus on Israeli-Palestinian issues, and used their platform to delegitimize Israel and to promote base anti-Semitism, including a return to hateful anti-Jewish canards such as Zionism is racism.
The formal governmental conference ended with the adoption of a compromise proposal on the Middle East, which was reached between the European Union and Arab countries and facilitated by South Africa. Even at the final plenary session of the conference, Arab delegates led by Syria and Pakistan sought to add three paragraphs of the earlier anti-Israel language that had prompted the U.S. and Israel to abandon the conference. Brazil offered a motion of no action requesting that, having reached a compromise on the Middle East, delegates move forward to accept the declaration and leave aside paragraphs on which they were unable to agree. The motion was approved by a vote of 51-38. The compromise proposal therefore recognized the Palestinian right of return, but omitted language which would be critical of Israel.
Following the Durban debacle, and in the midst of a resurgence of anti-Jewish violence in Western Europe, efforts were made to address the issue of anti-Semitism at the U.N. In June 2004, at the first U.N. Department of Public Information Seminar on Anti- Semitism, Secretary-General Kofi Annan described what he called an alarming resurgence of this phenomenon. In his remarks to the conference, the Secretary General acknowledged that the United Nations record on anti-Semitism has at times fallen short of our ideals and made specific reference to the GA resolution of 1975, equating Zionism with racism, as an especially unfortunate decision. In concluding his speech, the Secretary General called on the U.N. to take up the fight against anti- Semitism and proclaimed that, Jews everywhere must feel that the United Nations is their home, too.
The Quartet and the Peace Process
In 2002, in an effort to create an international body to mediate peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians, the Quartet on the Middle East was created. The Quartet - - including the U.S., Russia, the European Union and the United Nations, as represented by the Secretary General -- was established in Madrid under the auspices of Spanish Prime Minister José María Anzar. The Quartet was entrusted with mediating peace between the two sides and designated a special envoy to the region to oversee and initiate talks between the parties.
Despite these efforts toward peace, Israel, which was suffering from a campaign of deadly Palestinian violence targeting Israeli population centers, continued to face excessive criticism and condemnation at the U.N. Nearly every response Israel undertook to defend its civilians from suicide bombings was condemned in resolutions adopted by the GA.
The Security Barrier and the International Court of Justice
Of particular focus in the GA has been Israel's security barrier, which was devised and implemented to defend Israeli civilians by deterring Palestinian terrorist infiltrations. In an effort to halt the construction of the barrier, the Palestinian Authority and its supporters submitted a resolution to the Security Council which asked the Council to recommend the case to the International Court of Justice (ICJ). Although the Palestinians were unable to find the support they needed in the Security Council, on December 8, 2003, the GA, in a special emergency session, adopted the Palestinian initiated resolution. That resolution, entitled "What are the legal consequences arising from the construction of the wall being built by Israel, the occupying Power, in the Occupied Palestinian Territory," called on the ICJ to issue an advisory opinion as to the legality of the barrier. The resolution passed 90-8, with 74 countries abstaining.
It should be noted that because Israel is barred from participating in U.N. Geneva-based regional groups, an Israeli judge cannot be elected to the ICJ, and the State of Israel cannot even participate in the voting for the makeup of the court.
The ICJ issued an advisory opinion on the Israeli security barrier on July 9, 2004. The Court concluded that Israel violated international law in the routing of the security fence and called on Israel to dismantle sections built in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. In the opinion from which U.S. judge Thomas Buergenthal and Dutch judge Pieter H. Kooijmans dissented, the court further called on the international community to refrain from rendering aid or assistance in maintaining the situation created by such construction (of the fence). Twenty-two nations had submitted briefs which voiced opposition to the case either because they supported Israel s right to self-defense or because they felt the ICJ should not rule on such a specific issue related to such a complex conflict. The court, however, rejected this opposition and accepted, without reservation, the arguments of the Palestinians and their supporters. Following the July 9 decision, the GA passed a resolution calling on Israel to abide by the non-binding ICJ decision and to remove the security barrier.

WASHINGTON -- Less than three months after being awarded a $295 million federal grant, Southern Company is abandoning a high-profile project intended to store large amounts of carbon dioxide from Barry Steam Plant underground, a spokesman said today.
Because of the needed financial commitment and the tight timeline for securing funding, it was "not in our best interest to move forward" with the endeavor at the north Mobile County electric generating plant, said Pat Wylie, a spokesman for Alabama Power Co., a subsidiary of Atlanta-based Southern.
The U.S. Energy Department, which awarded the grant in early December, will select another recipient for the money "as quickly as possible," a spokeswoman said via e-mail.

By Mrs. Martha Yoshida (Leonard Wood)March 18, 2013
FORT LEONARD WOOD, Mo. -- The Maneuver Support Center of Excellence and Fort Leonard Wood held a change of responsibility and retirement ceremony for the post's highest ranking noncommissioned officer March 11 at Nutter Field House.
Maj. Gen. Mark Yenter, MSCoE and Fort Leonard Wood's commanding general, presided over the ceremony where Command Sgt. Maj. Robert Wells passed the installation's most senior enlisted responsibilities to Command Sgt. Maj. Terrence Murphy.
Yenter thanked Wells, who plans to retire after 33 years in the Army, for his dedicated service to our country and for always leading by example, always putting soldiers first, and demonstrating remarkable tenacity to get the mission accomplished.
"On any given day at Fort Leonard Wood, we've got about 7,000 soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines, that are part of the permanent party, who are training somewhere between 11 and 12,000 soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines," Yenter said. "Over a one year period we'll train about 80,000 soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines. That's a big responsibility. Command Sgt. Maj. Wells took that responsibility on and he did it in a fantastic fashion."
Yenter credited Wells for improving drill sergeant manning numbers and said that increasing the number to near 100 percent is important because it means the installation has enough drill sergeants to provide a safe and challenging training environment.
Yenter welcomed Murphy, a veteran of several deployments and combat tours, who joins the MSCoE team from the U.S. Army Engineer School where he most recently served as the regimental command sergeant major.
Murphy is known throughout the engineer regiment as a mentor, skilled warrior, and outstanding role model, making him well suited to lead at the Maneuver Support Center of Excellence, Yenter said.
I know you'll continue to do great things, he said.
The command sergeant major carries out policies and standards of the performance, training, appearance, and conduct of enlisted personnel. The command sergeant major advises and initiates recommendations to the commander and staff in matters pertaining to the local noncommissioned officer support channel.

AA - The National Football League is looking to sell half of the Thursday Night Football package that currently airs on NFL Network. For the last two seasons, NFL Network has aired 13 games. It appears that the NFL will increase the Thursday night schedule to 16 games meaning NFL Network and the winning bidder would split the package right down the middle. Richard Sandomir of the New York Times reports that there would not be a shortage of bidders for the package. Sports Business Journal's John Ourand tweets that this would be a one year deal that would be for the 2014 season. The Times' Sandomir says that the NFL would prefer to see the games on a broadcast network on either one of its current partners, CBS, Fox or NBC, but would not rule out having them on cable, i.e., Fox Sports 1, NBCSN or TNT should Turner Sports put forth a bid. The NFL spokesman told Awful Announcing that no postseason games would be part of the package so this bid would be strictly for the regular season.
The best part of this? Nothing. Nothing is the best part of this. I don't know one soul who gets excited over Thursday Night Football. Even when your team is playing, you'd rather it just be a Sunday afternoon, not a Thursday night. Nobody with a job and a life enjoys staying up on a Thursday to watch the Redskins lose another game then going into work hungover. And the games this year on TNF were atrocious. The players themselves say they don't have enough time to recover and prepare for games on Thursday nights. The games are bad, the coverage is bad, and the time they are on is bad. And adding 3 more Thursday night games is ridiculous. Late in the season when teams are fighting for playoff spots, having to play on 3 days rest is brutal. But 800 million dollars for half of a season sounds pretty fucking good if you're the NFL, and they sure as shit are not going to turn that down. Goodell gonna Goodell.
PS: Hoping FS1 pulls the upset and buys this. Need Regis and Good Ol' JR in the booth.
Nate does not Bet
As long as we get Jacksonville vs. Tennessee from London I'm in
i miss the jacked up bit on espn
give it a year and this is what pres will be charging for those shitty tshirts
is there additional info i would get from reading beyond the title? i doubt it. gotta have titties bouncing at the bottom of blogs like this.
need gus johnson and jr in the booth
should make it Friday night
JR in the booth could save TNF
fox just dropped a shit load of cash for the world cup and nascar. NBC the same for nascar and soccer. TNT if i could lay cash on it
I get excited, but I'm a degenerate gambler, so….
If you can't/don't stay up late on Thursday nights all year, you must be a paperboy.
I'm gonna be drinking anyway, Midas whale have football to watch also
I've always wondered why not make the Super Bowl on a Saturday? If the NFL/America isnt going to make Super Bowl Monday a national holiday it seems like the only reasonable solution. There is already a two-week break in between the champtionship games and the Super Bowl so why not? I know ratings are high enough, its the fucking Super Bowl after all, but just imagine not having to worry about waking up early the next day to stumble into work knowing that all football is over for the next 6 months.
Every straight male likes thursday night football and thanksgiving football and basically football on any day.
It's the apocalypse… Nate has to chose between American Idol and NFL.
Reinstate the XFL. Have them play Thursday nights. Goodell loses. Nobody turns on the NFL on Thursday again
what really sucks is they got rid of saturday games for the weeks after college football is over
@taste – they aren't allowed to play on Friday or Saturday during HS and college seasons
The best thing about this is that means Deion Sander's revolting presence will not darken the broadcast. At least I friggin' hope so.
the ratings on friday would be terrible thats why they dont have friday
This is certainly not a goodness gracious great balls of fire flames idea
they gotta get rid of mayock too. It should be a requirement as an announcer that you cant have a lisp. You talk for a living.
Regis and JR calling NFL games would be absurd in the best possible way
Thursday night football is great. What's better than getting home from work and being able to watch football?
Fuck TNF, fuck MNF, and fuck SNF (except Carrie Underwood, she's a saint). And fuck the dickbags who are adding more and more TV timeouts to make the games longer.
Not sure why everyone blames Goodell, he works for the owners, blame them.
Well I don't have a job or a life so excuse me for enjoying 12 bud heavies and Oakland playing Jacksonville on a Thursday night
A nonissue story about how a nonissue is a nonissue. Keep up the good work Nathaniel
Nobody enjoys watching the Redskins, period. Doesn't matter the day of the week. Redskins fans don't even like watching the Redskins. And I say this as a Redskins season ticket holder.
The NFL network announcers straight suck let NBC do then all
Let me explain this to you. The NFL is a business and in America we operate under a capitalistic model in which the goal of most if not all businesses is to make money. By moving TNF games to Sunday, they are competing against themselves, hence less revenue. You need to take more trips to Boston to learn how business works from the master Jew.
It will go to a cable network that my provider (Cablevision aka Jim Dolan aka dickhead supreme) will immediately require me to upgrade my service to get. I finally broke down for NFL Network and now they're de-valuing it. Fuck them all, I'm done.
@spikeowen I don't care if it's smart money – Thursday Night football sucks.
They need to go to an 18 week season, each team gets 2 bye's. 1 is the week before you have to play Thurs game.
Gamblers like TNF.
Thursday Night Football blows. The broadcast sucks, the games suck, there's no reason to have them. It sucks when your team plays Thursday and then you got nothing to look forward to on Sunday. Roger Goodell is trying to single handedly ruin a good thing with overexposure. Too much is not necessarily a good thing. Don't need the 18 game schedule, more playoff teams, teams overseas, more games during the week… that shit isn't and wasn't needed to make the NFL as popular as it is. If the product on the field was getting better then maybe but the product is getting worse because guys can no longer touch each other without getting a flag.

The 5 Most Useless Things Said During Sports Broadcasts
With all due respect to politics, the birth of children, and warm summer nights, sports are the most important thing in the universe.
Thinkstock/Comstock/Getty Images
Get the fuck out of here, breakfast.
We cannot pay enough attention to these glorious pastimes, and anyone who doesn't spend every waking moment thinking of and speaking on the subject of sports is a wrong, bad, misguided terrorist.
But not everything we speak about sports is equally wise and insightful. Indeed, the world of sports commentary is littered with horrible cliches that do nothing but serve as bait for remote controls to get thrown through the screen. And I'm not talking about guys who flub names or trip on their tongues; play-by-play is tough work, and honestly it's kind of a miracle we don't hear more mispronounced names and explosive swearing during any given game. No, I'm reserving all my ire for the color commentators, as well as those suited idiots back in the studio, the people hired for their expertise, who have the time to think up something insightful, and then say something dumb anyway.
#5. "They Wanted It More"
This is probably the quintessential piece of non-analysis, the statement that one team beat another not because of skill or strategy or preparation or any of the other things that are observable and measurable. No, they won because they wanted to.
Barry Austin Photography/Lifesize/Getty Images
Or their dad did at least.
The frustrating thing about this is that it kind of maybe might be true. Motivation is a significant factor in sports. There's an entire field called sports psychology filled with people who earn real money for a living that tries to answer the question of how professional athletes who are so similar in terms of their physical capabilities can have such different game day performances. Along with things like visualization and maintaining calm, motivation is a factor in getting athletes to perform. "Wanting it" does matter.
But it can't be measured. There's no scale of how much people want something, no Passionmeter on the scoreboard measuring each team's hunger. We can only measure want indirectly by measuring who's playing well and winning, which means we should probably just talk about the teams that are playing well and winning in the first place. As fans, we didn't tune in to see who wants to win more. We're there to see who's better at winning.
Barry Austin Photography/Lifesize/Getty Images
"That's good, because I'd really rather be playing Pokemon right now."
#4. "He Has to Make That Catch"
That's the NFL variant, at least, but you'll see the same thing happen in basically every other sport, whether it's "He has to make that shot" or "He has to grab that snitch" or whatever.
Christopher Capozziello/Getty Images News
What up, nerds.
Its most common form is heard when a player misses a routine play, and in that context it makes a bit of sense, although it could be better stated. The problem is that our threshold for "routine plays" includes plays that have very noticeable failure rates. A relatively easy play that succeeds 90 to 95 percent of the time is still going to fail at least once a game. Yeah, if a player routinely misses those sort of plays, he's got a problem. But when a player misses one of those plays? That just happens. They don't "need" to make that play at all. (They just need to make the next nine.)
But my most hated version of this line is the weaselly version: "He has to make that catch if they want to win the game." Thanks to that cowardly conditional statement, this is technically more accurate, but instead of offering insight, it brings only the evil twin of insight, banality.
Tenthousandcubans via Wikimedia Commons
The most obvious of Mortal Kombat finishing moves.
Yes, making difficult plays at critical moments is useful for winning games. Thanks for the insight, Coach. If your analysis about what makes a winning team includes the statement "the team should win," you are a terrible human being.
#3. "He Was Shaken Up on the Play"
This one is specific just to the NFL, which, to its credit, has become a lot more injury-conscious over the past few years. The league has introduced new rules and enforcement to prevent head injuries, and (with the sharp point of a lawsuit aimed at them) will soon start directing medical care and funds the way of retired players. But a lot of the sports cliches that originated in the bad old days are still with us, "shaken up on the play" being the worst offender of them.
What makes this so troubling is the history of the game itself, in particular the longstanding, well-known practice of NFL teams to make players play through injuries. This is where the language of "shaken up" and "got dinged" originated, in reports teams gave to media to soften the impact of what happened.
Matthew Stockman/Getty Images Sport
"Yeah, there's a watermelon-size hole in his torso, which we've tentatively diagnosed as a "tickler," but he's a warrior, and we expect him back in a couple plays."
You see, being "shaken up" sounds a lot less scary than "brain injury" or "his arm's off." The audience won't feel guilty if a player who was shaken up returns a few plays later. But they might be a little uncomfortable if a dude whose knee recently discovered a new branch of non-Euclidian geometry was jabbed full of cortisone and sent back out on the field because the coach doesn't trust their second string guard in running situations.
Thomas Northcut/Digital Vision/Getty Images
"Andy, this is God. It's not your time yet. You need to go back and get a couple more big third-down stops."
This has to end. If a 280-pound professional athlete has trouble standing up, he's not shaken up. He's fucking injured.

Hola Sara
Me alegro de que Primal va bien para usted. (Hablo un poco de español.)
Hasta Luego
Hi all,
I've been lurking (gosh, I hate that word, but I suppose it fits) for about two years now, and flirting with primal living off and on, actually more on than off. I've decided to get serious about primal, and am in the middle of a whole30. Already feeling a whole lot better, and noticing a lot more mental clarity.
In a lot of ways, I'm very fortunate: I work from home, have an incredibly supportive boyfriend, live in walkable n'hoods, fresh produce is readily available.
Here's what I've been up to so far:
I've been gluten-free for over two years.
I've been creating a pinterest board over the last yr or so, with inspirations.
Have also just ordered a cow-share and organic chicken package.
I've been making chicken stock (with the feet) and rendering lard.
And my life-style is pretty Grok-ish, although walking is my main exercise.
As for drawbacks, I have lymphedema in my left leg, so exercising is tough.
So here's the initial info, answering as if the whole30 were already done.
The Questions:
Your location: Toronto, ON/ San Miguel de Allende, Mexico

Good to know about you.
Gracias, Hedonist2 and Prince.
I'm halfway thru my whole30, and feeling noticeably healthier, esp in the mental clarity dept. I guess I wasn't as primal as I thought I was
Considering all the time I've spent in Mexico, it's sad that my Spanish isn't any better. I did take a course on the preterite this winter, so now I'm a woman with a past...
Hasta luego,

We are Joaquin: the legacy of Corky
During the 1960s, the American people broke out of the McCarthy era with mass movements for peace, civil rights, women's rights, and labor organizing of agricultural and public workers. At the same time, throughout the Southwest, like a hardly noticed leitmotif, emerged the "movimiento Chicano," the Chicano power movement.

WASHINGTON — The downfall of House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Texas) may come from his crony ties to Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff and Michael Scanlon, DeLay's former chief of staff. Over a three-year period, they allegedly fleeced six Native American Indian tribes of $82 million by pretending to represent their casino interests.
Congressional hypocrisy on medical care
As an emergency physician and former governor, I am struck by the towering contradictions — and indeed the hypocrisy — in the controversy over the tragic plight of Terri Schiavo. On the same day that the U.S. House of Representatives voted to involve the federal courts in her case, it also approved a 10-year $92-billion cut in Medicaid funding — $30 billion deeper than the cut recommended by President Bush.

First Solar and SunPower Plan to Form Joint-Venture Yieldco
SEIA Urges West Virginia Governor to Veto Legislation
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Calling it "unfair to families, businesses and churches," the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) is urging West Virginia Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin to veto HB 2201, which could jeopardize the future of rooftop solar in the state by rewriting West Virginia's net-metering policies. Rhone Resch, SEIA president and CEO, said the legislation needs to be revised before becoming law:
Duke Study: Solar Helping to Drive North Carolina Economy
A new report from Duke University, The Solar Economy: Widespread Benefits for North Carolina, found that public policies such as North Carolina's Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard and Investment Tax Credit have made North Carolina first in the south and fourth in the nation for installed solar investment, creating jobs and boosting the economy across the state.
"Solarize Tybee" Awarded to Hannah Solar, LLC
The City of Tybee Island and Chatham County announced Atlanta-based Hannah Solar, LLC as the winning bidder to develop the community solar program, Solarize Tybee. Solarize Tybee, the first Solarize project in Georgia, allows residents and business owners to purchase solar at a lower cost through the power of bulk purchasing, which is estimated to bring the total cost down by 15-30%. The program was originally intended for just Tybee Island, but after an outpour of positive responses from citizens in the region, it has now spread throughout all of Chatham County.
Obama Signs Economic Recovery Legislation; Solar Industry Poised to Create 110,000 Jobs over Next Two Years
Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) President & CEO Rhone Resch today commended President Obama for signing the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act into law in Denver, Colorado and commented on how it will help stimulate the solar industry immediately.
Solar Energy Poised to Put Americans Back to Work
The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) today outlined the key policies that President-elect Obama and the Congressional leadership must address to expand the use of solar energy and help put over 1 million Americans back to work by 2011.
Renewable Energy Industries Ready to Lead U.S. Economic Recovery
The leaders of the American Wind Energy Association, Geothermal Energy Association, National Hydropower Association and Solar Energy Industries Association today released the following statement:
The fast-growing renewable energy sector is poised to help lead the U.S. economic recovery with millions of new jobs and billions of private investment dollars. However, the new Administration and Congress need to take action to ensure that the renewable industries' growth continues, given the current economic realities.
SEIA: America hired a new generation of leaders promising clean energy policies
Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) President Rhone Resch issued the following statement on the nationwide election results:
"Americans hired a new generation of leaders on the expressed promise that they will support clean energy policies – leaders like Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire and Kathy Dahlkemper of Pennsylvania. These lawmakers augment established Democratic and Republican leaders that are committed to expanding our nation's renewable energy supplies. Now it's time to move forward on implementing the Obama energy plan that will create 5 million green-collar jobs in the U.S."
Solar Energy Industries Association Names Senator Maria Cantwell 2008 National Solar Energy Champion of the Year
The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) today announced that U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell (D-WA) is the Democratic winner of its 2008 National Solar Energy Champion Award, citing her strong support and leadership on solar energy issues in the U.S. Senate. Senator Cantwell played a leading role in forging the bipartisan compromise that extended the solar investment tax credit (ITC), set to expire at the end of this year, for another eight years.
Johnson and Salerno: Nevada is Cashing in on Renewable Energy
While Americans know wind and solar energy are clean, they often aren't aware of the economic success story behind these renewable-energy technologies. Wind and solar power have economic benefits that reach far and wide. They have become increasingly affordable, attracting billions in private development, and today are both mainstream and reliable energy sources across America.
Colorado's Largest Solar Power Facility Coming to Pueblo
A developer of wind and solar energy facilities will build a 900-acre generating station on grazing land about 2 miles southeast of Pueblo. Going into operation in summer 2016, the Comanche Solar project, near Xcel's Comanche substation, would be Colorado's largest solar farm and one of the biggest in the nation.
Congressional Testimony: Solar Helping To Make America Stronger
The Biggest Solar Farm In Latin America Will Replace An Old Coal Plant
Last week President Obama and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper visited Mexico for what's traditionally called the "Three Amigos" meeting. In the daylong rendezvous, energy issues were slated to play a major role, with Obama and Harper jockeying for room when it comes to the impending decision on the controversial Keystone XL pipeline that would bring dirty crude oil down from Canada to refineries on the Gulf Coast.
Nice Solar Stats
The US Department of Energy (DOE) put out a nice press release recently that we never got to covering. There were several stats in it that I thought were worth sharing & bookmarking for later reference.

My First FriendPosted on 7/4/14 - by Ed McNiffBeing friends with his sister Lorraine, Sal was 2 years older and became a role model for me. His smile and joking was infectious but he had a certain dignity about him. Spending many dinners at their house I got to know cousins Michael (had a great T-Bird) and Michael (Pudgy). A great family all around. It still saddens me so. And I do visit the cemetery every few years, not needing directions.MORE
You Are Not Forgotten by LevittownPosted on 6/12/14 - by Bob McDevitt LMHS 63Sal, I'm posting a copy of the plaque we discussed before. I hope your love one's see it so they know your friend from Levittown have not forgotten you. God bless, BobMORE
Thank You and God Bless.Posted on 5/8/14 - by Bob McDevitt LMHS 63 U.S.Army 1965-68Sal I just wanted to say thank you for the ultimate sacrifice for our country. You and 30 other Levittowners are all Fallen Hereos and each and everyone of you "will not be forgotten". I'm going to The Wall on June 29th, 2014 and make tracings of all of you. I will put all your information on it and give them to the Levittown museum. You and all the other 30 heroes are a very important part of our history and should be honored in Levittown. I see the class or 71 dedicated a beautiful memorial to all of you at MacArthur H.S. Rest in Peace by brother your sacrifice has not been forgotten!MORE
Remembering An American HeroPosted on 7/12/13 - by Curt CarterDear PFC Salvatore Frank Polizzi, sirMORE
As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice made on behalf of our wonderful country. The youth of today could gain much by learning of heroes such as yourself, men and women whose courage and heart can never be questioned.
May God allow you to read this, and may He allow me to someday shake your hand when I get to Heaven to personally thank you. May he also allow my father to find you and shake your hand now to say thank you; for America, and for those who love you.
With respect, and the best salute a civilian can muster for you, Sir

Visiting Family Before His TourPosted on 8/22/03 - by RichardSal was my cousin, and I was 13 when he left for his tour in Viet Nam. His parents took him to visit family before he left. I remember that visit well, about how he looked in his uniform and the look of concern on my parents faces, which in my youth I didn't understand. He was much more serious than normal, he had always had an easy smile and that day he had none. I try to remember happier visits, of which there were many, but this is always the first thing that comes to mind when I think of him.MORE
After his loss, the family sponsored a yearly communion breakfast in his memory until the war ended. Each year, more men who were lost from his area were added, and the gathering grew. I think people found solace in the community.
Sal was a great guy, very outgoing, and very popular in school. Thirty three years later, I still think of him.
Lost Memories RevisitedPosted on 11/27/02 - by PaulI was only 4 years old when my cousin Sal passed away, but I remember him visiting our house in unform before he left and everyone, teary eyed, saying good-bye to him at the airport. Sometime later I remember seeing him at his wake and not understanding. These memories were long forgotten until last August while on vacation in Washington. I made the pilgrimage to The Wall and made a rubbing of his name for my mother. Then the memories resurfaced. I was once told he wanted to be a fire fighter. I don't know if its true but being a fire fighter myself I like to think he's with me everytime I do my job. I only wish I knew him better before he was gone.MORE
I will never forget !Posted on 4/29/02 - by Vincent RabbeneI am an old classmate of Salvatore. I sat behind him in St. Anthony School in South Ozone Park, NY for 8 years.MORE
I was in Vietnam at the same time Sal was killed and I did not find out till I came home. I was in the 9th Infantry division in the Mekong Delta. God it was a crazy time.
Wishing his family my warmest regards... I will never forget Sal!
Rest In Peace Brother,
Vincent Rabbene
MemoriesPosted on 5/16/01 - by Annemarie, Jeanne's daughterI didn't know Salvatore personally. In fact, I never even met him. Salvatore was my mother's cousin and she talks about him all the time. Salvatore is my mom's cousin on both sides of the family. Sal's mom was my grandfather's sister and his father was my grandmother's brother. They owned a house in New Jersey together. Mom and Sally Boy grew up together. Mom tells me about all the times he joked around with everyone especially the time when they picked berries and put them in the huge bowl. The bowl had a hole in it and Sally put milk in it. He held his finger against the hole until he was finished eating it. Now my mother misses him more than anything. She looks at his sister Denise and swears she's his female twin. Sal will never be forgotten by those who loved him.MORE

7 The first angel sounded his trumpet, and there came hail and fire mixed with blood, and it was hurled down on the earth. A third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned�up.
8 The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a huge mountain, all ablaze, was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned into blood,
9 a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
10 The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water�
11 the name of the star is Wormwood.[a] A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter.
12 The fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them turned dark. A third of the day was without light, and also a third of the night.
13 As I watched, I heard an eagle that was flying in midair call out in a loud voice: �Woe! Woe! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the trumpet blasts about to be sounded by the other three angels!�

UNECA Organizes Workshop on Climate Change and Scientific Consequences in Africa
17 March 2010: The UN Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) and the International Council for Science-Regional Office for Africa (ICSU-ROA) organized a consultative workshop on "Climate Change and Scientific Consequences in Africa: Post-Copenhagen" from 17-19 March 2010, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The aim of the workshop was to examine the role of African scientists in addressing the climate change challenge.
The event brought together over 60 scientists from several African countries, as well as representatives and experts from the African Ministerial Conference on Science and Technology (AMCOST), the African Centre of Meteorological Application for Development (ACMAD), the European Climate Foundation, the Global Footprint Network, and the Mckinsey Company. These scientists examined how scientific knowledge can serve as a basis for institutional action in support of adaptation and mitigation efforts of African countries. The specific objectives of the workshop included assessing the current status of climate change research in Africa, and channeling scientific research to improve policy making, particularly in areas of high technical expertise.
Participants also addressed issues relating to: the capacity of African Governments and their institutions to handle the disaster risk management cycle; technologies available to the region for adaptation and mitigation, as well as the costs associated with deployment of such technologies; collaboration between African climate scientists and policy makers for informed policy making; climate changes and their impacts on Africa's sustainable growth and development; Africa's collaboration with the international community dealing with climate change initiatives; the Copenhagen Accord; the climate change roadmap for Africa; and the launch of the network of African Scientists on Climate Change.
