Texas Mom Gives Birth to Two Sets of Identical Twins
(KPRC) A Valentine's Day delivery brought not one but two sets of identical twins to a Houston couple.
"The biggest blessing ever, tremendous blessing, a miracle and I'm real happy about it," said Manuel Montalvo.
Tressa Montalvo delivered the four boys at almost 32 weeks via Cesarean section at the Woman's Hospital of Texas.
Their big brother, 2-year-old Memphis, met his four new brothers for the first time Monday.
The first set of twins was born at 8:51 a.m., weighing 3 pounds 10 ounces and 3 pounds 15 ounces.
One minute later, the next set of twins was born, weighing 2 pounds 15 ounces and 3 pounds 6
The Montalvos said they did not use any fertility treatments and were quite surprised when they found out during her pregnancy she would be having two sets of identical twins.

CANstruction 2011: A Cantastic Event!
Canstruction® is an international charity competition which architects, engineers, contractors and students compete to design and construct large structures from full cans of food and other food products. In Rochester, after the creations are on display for the public to view and winners are selected all of the food is donated to Foodlink.
Last year, 8 teams participated which equated to a 29,300pound donation to the food bank. 13 teams participated in the Rochester Canstruction this year which is the most teams ever to participate. Foodlink anticipates this years donation to be over 40,000 pound. A food donation of that caliber is equivalent to 30,770 meals, which is needed during the holiday season!
We are so thankful for Buckingham Properties, all sponsors, participants and spectators for making this year a great success!!!!!!
The structures will be on display at the Bausch and Lomb Winter Garden until Saturday, November 19, 2011 at 1pm. All spectators are encouraged to bring a non perishable food donation to drop off in one of the on site barrels.
For more photos and more information visit: www.facebook.com/canstructionrochester
***VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY: Foodlink needs help with the deconstruction of all the structures, if you are interested in volunteering Saturday November 19th from 1pm to 4pm please contact firstname.lastname@example.com***

Sorry if this has already been discussed, but I'm relatively new here, so.....is there any possibility of the TCF writers getting together for podcasts? There are so many talented/insightful writers here that I'm sure it would be great.
I remember Swerb posting a questionnaire regarding a radio show, but it seems podcasts are much more practical - for the listener anyway.

Town approves LWRP resolution
The Dunkirk Town Board recently became one of several to approve the resolution committing to the Local Waterfront Revitalization Plan.
At its most recent meeting the board approved the resolution, which commits it to participate in an advisory committee and to pay $2,000 in the 2014 budget year.
According to Jay Warren, Northern Chautauqua County Local Economic Development chair, the town of Dunkirk joins the town of Portland and the village of Westfield in adopting the resolution.
"The resolution says we agree to give $2,000 in our 2014 budget, that's all," Dunkirk Supervisor Richard Purol said. "We haven't discussed projects yet but we support the project going forward."
Roberts and New roads residents again attended the meeting to complain about the lack of waterlines in their area. Purol said he has been in touch with engineers from Chadwick Bay Regional Development Corporation for help but has not heard anything about what the town would need to do to move forward.
The town also tabled an agenda item to fix doors in the town hall until a contractor can be found. Purol said the town got an estimate on the cost for a new door to the clerk's office but tabled the item until the cost of the labor to install the door and switch the hinges on the door to the back storage can be obtained.
Town board members scheduled a road tour of the town for May 8. Because of this, the board will not hold a workshop in May. Its regular meeting will be held May 21 at 7 p.m.

Kistler Instruments Ltd. - PRODUCT NEWS Complete Product-Line Mold-Cavity Pressure and Temperature Sensors. With the market launch of its new 1 mm temperature sensor, Kistler now offers a complete product line for measuring mold cavity pressure and temperature in the molded component. All sensors are available with 1 mm, 2,5 mm and 4 mm front diameters. Pressure and temperature sensors with the same front diameter have identical measurements and can be inserted into the same borehole. The unique combined pressure and temperature sensor with 4 mm front diameter can measure both quantities simultaneously. Sensors for measuring the temperature of the molded component are used in addition to mold cavity pressure sensors. Mold cavity pressure already reveals correlations of up to 95 % with the molded part characteristics. This can be increased to as much as 99 % by adding temperature measurement. Kistler surface temperature sensors are equipped with a unique thermocouple system in direct contact with the molded component produced. This system, together with the low mass of the thermocouple, makes Kistler sensors significantly faster than standard thermocouples used in the injection molding process. ____________________________________________________ For more information, please contact :- Kistler Instruments Ltd. 13 Murrell Green Business Park, London Road, Hook RG27 9GR Tel: +44 (0)1256 741550 Fax: +44 (0)1256 741551 Email: firstname.lastname@example.com Website: http://www.kistler.com January 2004

Gearing Up for the Gridiron
Familiar rivals Millsaps and Belhaven are back on the schedule for the first two games of the Choctaws' 2011 football season.
The Choctaws kick off on September 3rd at Robinson-Hale Stadium in the always-anticipated Backyard Brawl against the Millsaps Majors. Claiming victories in 2009 and 2010, MC hopes to make it a three-peat against the Choctaws' closest Division III neighbor. Just one week later, the Choctaws will make the short drive along I-20 to face the Belhaven Blazers. Other exciting pigskin match-ups include MC vs. Hardin-Simmons, Louisiana College, Mary Hardin-Baylor, Howard Payne, and Texas Lutheran.
Let's go, Choctaws!
Taking the Reins
The Lady Choctaws equestrian team wrapped their fourth regular season by winning first-place honors in March competition at Murray State University in the heart of Kentucky horse country. MC topped Sewanee and Vanderbilt, who finished tied for second place, and MC freshman Heather Hays finished as the high point rider. The final performance of the competition by the Lady Choctaws represented quite an improvement over their fifth place among the eight schools competing just the day before.
"This competition was a great way to end our season," assistant coach Lauren Moore said. "Going into next season, we're looking forward to working with a team that has a whole season under its belt, as well as a lot of interest from new riders."
A Goal Made for MC Soccer
This summer, the doors will open on a new MC soccer field house already recognized as one of the premier facilities in the American Southwest Conference (ASC). The 5,000-square-foot building will include spacious locker rooms for men and women, a media room in which to watch game film, a training room, a 40-person meeting room, coaches' offices, and other amenities sure to enhance the MC soccer program.
The new field house was made possible by a generous gift from Texas businessman and MC alumnus Robert Girling III. Girling's daughter, Kathy Girling Odom, is also an MC alumnus and a close friend of MC women's soccer coach Darryl Longabaugh.
"The Robert G.W. Girling III Soccer Building and the new facilities it offers will be a blessing to our program and a tremendous asset in recruiting," Longabaugh said. "I've been waiting on this for three years. It's awesome, and I am pumped."
Table Tennis Team Travels to Nationals
Mississippi College's table tennis team earned their fourth straight trip to the national championships in Rochester, Minnesota, in mid-April. The Choctaws finished in fifth place at nationals for the second year in a row, besting teams from larger schools including Ohio State, Maryland, Princeton, Columbia, and Brown. Table tennis powerhouse Texas Wesleyan emerged as the national championship team.
The perennial winners in the Dixie Division, the Choctaws were led by Captain Ken Qiu and a cast of veteran players including Bill Cai, Yang Yu, Zhicheng "Johnson" Liang, all natives of China, and MC junior Ben VanHorn of Clinton. Also making the trip to the finals was newcomer Zijun Yang, a recent transfer to Mississippi College from China and the only female on the team.
This fall, MC will again host the Dixie Division regional during Homecoming weekend in October at the Baptist Healthplex.
MC Students Shoot It Out and Make a Splash
MC's bass fishing and clay shooting clubs enter their second season with a calendar filled with fund-raising events and fun-filled activities.
The two student organizations raised $15,000 last fall at an event at Providence Hill Farm. This year, MC alumni and friends will have even more opportunities to support the organizations and have a good time in the great outdoors. Providence Hill Farm will host a fund-raiser for the clay shooting team on October 28, 2011 and a fishing tournament to benefit the bass fishing team in the spring of 2012.
Jim Turcotte '83, vice president for enrollment management and student affairs and a longtime outdoor enthusiast, serves as the bass club's faculty advisor.
"MC alumni and friends can support these organizations in many ways, from attending a fund-raising event to making a contribution of cash, shotguns, or bass boats," said Turcotte.
"If companies who make their livelihood off of outdoorsmen won't support these kinds of teams', then who will?" says Rick Looser, owner and chief executive officer of Longleaf Camo, the teams' leading sponsor. "Longleaf is proud to play a small part in bringing these new and exciting sports to MC."
To make a donation or learn more about the organizations, contact Jim Turcotte at 601.925.3809 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Topic: URL and Code Reuse
I am trying to build something similar to craigslist but, being a novice, has some simple questions. I use one table for each city to hold the ads. I have written basic code for one city and it works. But, now I can use only one city "phoenix" as I store all Phoenix ads in this table. But, what is the easy way to do this for other cities like Chicago, Miami etc? My idea for now is to create a new model for each city and may be I can try to reuse the code from Phoenix. If you have better ideas, please suggest me.
Also, now phoenix ad system works at this url hxxp://hostname.com/phoenix. How do I change it to work like craigslist? I mean like hxxp://phoenix.hostname.com, hxxp://chicago.hostname.com and so on.
Appreciate if you can help me out.

Cramer: Listen to the Voice of Youth
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- My birthday's in a couple of weeks. My youngest daughter loves to get ideas from me for my birthday. She's really into giving and receiving the right presents.
So, when she asked me what I wanted I told her I wanted the first-season DVD of Sons of Anarchy . Everyone tells me it's like Hamlet, and I always was a big fan of Shakespeare's work.
She texts me back immediately -- we ceased to communicate by actual words a long time ago, but I would recognize her voice if she called -- and writes she isn't going to buy it because it streams on Netflix (NFLX) , so it is a total waste of money. Memo from me to you: Any time, any time whatsoever that a teenager is worried about spending your money, sit up and take notice. My daughter swears by Netflix more than she used to swear by Apple (AAPL) .
I should have figured that, After all, the new televisions of even the most dubious quality come with Netflix right on the clicker. Can you believe that? No wonder it added 2 million subs this quarter and rallied huge, especially when you consider that it ruled out doing an equity offering to pay for all of its new content. The shorts wanted to buy that stock on the underwriting dip. Forget about it.
My daughter's also the one who told me that she's been buying things off Facebook (FB) lately, well-timed, right when Zuckerberg came on the conference call and said the company had screwed up mobile but was now getting it right. You might have figured that out from when I went positive on its soon after that conference call.
Alas, she is also the one who turned me on to Apple at $50 when she asked for her second iPod because she had a blue one and wanted a pink one as a fashion accessory.
Alas, she and her sister are also the reasons why I had to cool on Apple as they simply didn't want any of the new stuff and are still angry about the cord and the map and the new iTunes. Her sister, the other day, wanted to know when you could buy shares in Twitter because she said that could be a sensational buy.
Which brings me to the takeaway here. Right now there are companies that have no appeal at all to the younger generation. We saw it with Coach (COH) and Tiffany (TIF) , two older, out-of-touch brands that my two kids aren't the least bit interested in, not more interested than they would be shopping at JC Penney (JCP) or using Microsoft (MSFT) software or driving a GM (GM) car.

Engel Beltre and Adam Loewen have punched their tickets. Yan Gomes could do the same tonight – or will he be trumped by the likes of Carlos Ruiz, Carlos Lee and Ruben Tejada?
Ah, there are some familiar names – something the World Baseball Classic already is battling to hold onto.
They're not Ichiro, Yu Darvish or Derek Jeter – none of whom will be in the 2013 event -- but Ruiz, Lee and Tejada at least could provide a little more major league cache if their Panama team beats Toronto Blue Jays prospect Gomes and his Brazil team in a qualifying game tonight.
Oh, just a minute: You were aware, weren't you, that the third incarnation of baseball's only worldwide, national-team competition with major leaguers is just more than three months away?
Actually, the WBC is going hot and heavy as we speak, with the Brazil-Panama game the last from four qualifying tournaments to take March's field to 16 from the 12 automatic qualifiers. Canada (that's Loewen's team), Spain (Beltre) and Chinese Taipei won their qualifiers, leaving only tonight's matchup.
It's a big deal for host Panama, where native son and former major league Roberto Kelly is the manager and goes head-to-head with former Cincinnati Reds teammate Barry Larkin, who's managing Brazil.
With all due respect to Hall of Famer Larkin, he's not the kind of name that makes or breaks the tournament.
It's never been easy convincing all the top U.S. players to participate in what they see as an exhibition event held during spring training – the timing being the biggest deterrent to growing the event into baseball's version of a World Cup.
Jeter won't play as he focuses on rehabbing his broken ankle quickly enough to be ready Opening Day. Troy Tulowitzki would be the logical USA starter, but he's coming off a groin injury that cost him most of last season and has said that, while he'd like to play in the WBC, making sure he's 100% for the season takes priority.
That's the quandary for the U.S. team, where players don't feel the same pressure from fans to represent their country as other participants do, especially those from nations such as Venezuela and the Dominican Republic.
Major league teams are encouraged by MLB to not stand in the way of their players participating in the WBC. But the matter of priorities – whether it's subtle pressure or more from teams, reminders from agents, even sense of commitment from the players themselves – plays into the process.
Now, the defections are coming from Japan – the winner of both previous tournaments – a dent in the nationalistic spirit that has fueled participants from everywhere but the USA.
Pitchers Yu Darvish and Hiroki Kuroda – easily their country's 1-2 starters – both have said they'll skip the 2013 event. And the latest is Ichiro Suzuki, who didn't opt out as much as remind reporters in Japan over the weekend that he said the 2009 event would be his last.
Are the Japanese stars just getting bored with dominating MLB and the MLB Players' Association's money-making joint venture?
Suzuki is 39 and Kuroda will be 38 by March – and both will be newly signed free agents come spring, quite possibly with new teams. Darvish is just 26 and his work for Japan in the 2009 event was a factor in the six-year, $56 million deal he signed with the Texas Rangers before last season.
Now, much like the U.S. players, it's that deal and his major league role that he's protecting.
Darvish said his workload – 198 innings including playoffs this year – was a factor, though he topped that number four of the previous five seasons in Japan.
One of the missions of the WBC is to spread our game globally. Looks like the message is getting through.

indian 'bake' bread?
September 17, 2012, 09:41:22 PM »
we have been making indian fry bread tacos which have been great but we're looking for something similar thats baked that we could have more often. the fry bread has baking powder. might try a little with saf yeast next recipe and some with baking powder and see what happens in the oven.thinking of using a bit more hydration too or some melted butter for a little looser dough, starting off on parchment then on the stone once it firms up a bit. didnt know it thats the way to or if someone here has a suggestion. any help would be appreciated . thx

By use more often do you mean baking a bread that has better storing qualities than the fry bread you've been making? The only bread that I can think of that would work well for a rolled taco that is still a bit thicker like indian fry bread is a pita. Here is a link to thefreshloaf.com and the method they use for baking it -
You could use butter instead of the olive oil if you wanted, but you'd have to back off the water just a small amount since butter has 20% water usually I believe.

thanks for the link rc .we weren't wanting to store any, just wanting to make a baked version so it would be healthier and we'd be able to have it more often.
i'm sure i'll have to fiddle with the butter to water ratio to find the sweet spot but its worth a try

Hi Ct- sounds you want to make these to have around for ease of use. This recipe calls for grilling, but I think you can certainly adapt it for making in an 500-degree oven, parbaking them. After they are made, you can top them with whatever you like, bake it, and have a tasty near-instant personal size "pizza". (There's been some debate about what constitutes a real pizza, but let's not go there. This is easy, convenient and good for a quick lunch.)
Naan Bread
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 cup warm water
1/4 cup white sugar
3 tablespoons milk
1 egg, beaten
2 teaspoons salt
4 1/2 cups bread flour
2 teaspoons minced garlic (optional)
1/4 cup butter, melted
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand about 10 minutes, until frothy. Stir in sugar, milk, egg, salt, and enough flour to make a soft dough. Knead for 6 to 8 minutes on a lightly floured surface, or until smooth. Place dough in a well oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and set aside to rise. Let it rise 1 hour, until the dough has doubled in volume.
Punch down dough, and knead in garlic. Pinch off small handfuls of dough about the size of a golf ball. Roll into balls, and place on a tray. Cover with a towel, and allow to rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
During the second rising, preheat grill to high heat.
At grill side, roll one ball of dough out into a thin circle. Lightly oil grill. Place dough on grill, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until puffy and lightly browned. Brush uncooked side with butter, and turn over. Brush cooked side with butter, and cook until browned, another 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from grill, and continue the process until all the naan has been prepared.

Are you wanting to use these for tacos? Maybe try a small batch of one of the "emergency' doughs.

You know, it's interesting. If you look at the stats, you will see that 90~% of our content is coming from North America, but over 60% of web traffic is coming from India, yet I don't recall reading any posts at all from members in India.
If there's any Indian members who have an old family recipe for Naan bread, that would be really great.

Indian fry bread is something that comes from the Southwest, correct? I saw a diners & dives show with it...fried in a cast iron skillet, right?

Navajo Fry Bread Recipe - Indian Fry Bread Recipe
by Cynthia Detterick-Pineda
Fry bread is wonderfully lumpy (puffed here and there). It can be served as a dessert or used as a main dish bread. Our family will often take them and stuff them, much like one might use bread or tortilla to dip into their food.
Recipe Type: Quick Bread, Native American
Yields: 4 servings
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 8 min
1 cup unbleached flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon powdered milk
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup water
Vegetable oil for frying
Extra flour to flour your hands
Sift together the flour, salt, powdered milk, and baking powder into a large bowl. Pour the water over the flour mixture all at once and stir the dough with a fork until it starts to form one big clump.
Flour your hands well. Using your hands, begin to mix the dough, trying to get all the flour into the mixture to form a ball. You want to mix this well, but you do NOT want to knead it. Kneading it will make for a heavy Fry Bread when cooked. The inside of the dough ball should still be sticky after it is formed, while the outside will be well floured.
Cut the dough into four (4) pieces. Using your floured hands, shape, stretch, pat, and form a disk of about 5 to 7 inches in diameter. Dont worry about it being round. As Grandma Felipa would say it doesnt roll into your mouth.
In a deep heavy pot, heat the vegetable oil to about 350 degrees F. You can check if you oil is hot enough by either dropping a small piece of dough in the hot oil and seeing if it begins to fry, or by dipping the end of a wooden spoon in and seeing if that bubbles. Your oil should be about 1-inch deep in a large cast-iron skillet or other large heavy pot.
Take the formed dough and gently place it into the oil, being careful not to splatter the hot oil. Press down on the dough as it fries so the top is submersed into the hot oil. Fry until brown, and then flip to fry the other side. Each side will take approximately 3 to 4 minutes to cook. Place the cooked Fry Bread on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
Indian Fry Bread can be kept warm in a 200 degree F. oven for up to 1 hour. They refrigerate well and can be reheated in a 350 degree F. oven for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

Oracle and the Responsibility for Code
Since then the value of Oracle has risen about 45%, sales are up by 63%, and profits are up 56%, on an annual basis. The market is offering a premium multiple of 16.44 for those earnings, against less than 12 for Apple (AAPL) .
The belief is that since Oracle sells database software and high-end hardware to scaled enterprises, its earnings are more certain going forward than those of a mere consumer device maker, and Sun is a big reason for this.
But is it? Oracle's hardware sales are trending down, as noted in reporting on its most recent fiscal quarter by ITWorld. Oracle was not a hardware company before buying Sun.
Oracle's response is it also acquired key software assets with Sun. These included some of the "crown jewels" of the open source movement -- the mySQL database, the OpenOffice office suite, the OpenSolaris operating system, and Java, the write-once, run-anywhere computer language.
How is that working out? Not so well.
Monty Widenius, the outspoken mySQL co-founder, told The Register in November that Oracle is breaking its promises and, in the process, sabotaging his own open source fork of the code, called MariaDB.OpenOffice has been given over to the Apache Software Foundation after European developers became so angry with Oracle's management they created their own fork of the code, called LibreOffice. Last week I linked to former Sun evangelist Simon Phipps' story about efforts to fork OpenSolaris.
But this is nothing next to what has happened with Java.
Last week the U.S. Computer Emergency Response Team, or US-CERT, issued this release telling users to disable Java 7 in their browsers due to a security threat they could not find a way to fix. Criminals are already using the flaw to infect computers, as InfoWorld noted. Even the U.S. Department of Homeland Security is issuing warnings.
The current version of Java, called Java 7, was first released in the summer of 2011, long after the Sun acquisition closed. This happened on Oracle's watch. The company has released a "fix" for the problem, but security pros are telling reporters including Charlie Osborne of ZDNet this does not go far enough, that it's best to assume Java is insecure and stop using it.
This crisis has been building for months. Slate had an article about disabling Java back in August.
Among all the open source tools Oracle acquired from Sun, Java was the crown jewel. It is estimated that 850 million computers use it. It had been considered an essential part of the Internet. Google (GOOG) Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt made his reputation on Java, and the Android operating system is written in Java. Oracle tried, unsuccessfully, to extract millions of dollars from Google for its use of Java.

A font of wisdom
Replacing the printer cartridge on your home printer can practically require taking out a mortgage on the home, those things can be so expensive. And there are ways to try to lower that cost, like stick with black ink whenever possible as it's typically more expensive, or use some of the utilities available on the web that will eliminate those annoying pages that are a web address only. But the fine folks at Consumer Reports have another tip, too – stick with Times New Roman. Researchers there printing in Times New Roman printed 27 percent more pages per ink cartridge than using Arial in the same point size. And when comparing six common fonts, Times New Roman came out most economical, followed by Calibri. At the ink-guzzling end of the spectrum were such fonts as Verdana and Franklin Gothic Medium. Yet another reason why, page for page, one of the best newsstand reads out there is Consumer Reports. YOu should subscribe. After you re-up your D&C subscription, of course.

Jewish group commends criticism of North Korea basketball game
The Columbus Dispatch - January 07, 2014 04:10 PM
A Jewish human rights group is applauding the National Basketball Retired Players Association for denouncing an exhibition game being led by Dennis Rodman in North Korea to mark the birthday of leader Kim Jong Un.
Rabbi Abraham Cooper, associate dean at the Simon Wiesenthal Center, said in a statement that the game "does nothing but give the North Korean propaganda machine an undeserved opportunity to change the narrative of this dangerous, nuclearized bully, into a fun-loving, youthful basketball fan."
The retired players' association said in a statement today that it neither sanctions nor supports the game.
"Under the right circumstances basketball can serve as a bridge to bring communities together, but these are not those circumstances," Chairman Otis Birdsong said.
He echoed the sentiment of NBA Commissioner David Stern, who has said that the NBA also is not participating in or supporting Rodman's trip.
Rodman and several other former NBA players plan to play in Pyongyang on Wednesday with North Koreans.
The Los Angeles-based Simon Wiesenthal Center has previously spoken out against the game, including at a Monday news conference with North Koreans at the Museum of Tolerance in New York.

Skip to comments.Poop Fiction In Our Public Plaza?
Posted on 07/18/2013 7:08:41 PM PDT by Maelstorm
Two cases in Eugene Municipal Court this week revolved around protest, poop and constitutional free speech rights. Judge Karen Stenard heard testimony in a motion-to-dismiss hearing July 15 about two protests in the Wayne Morse Free Speech Plaza that involved the arrests of 21 people in one protest and activist Alley Valkyrie in another. Both were related to the group SLEEPS, which set up tents in the plaza to call attention to the plight of the homeless. The cases were heard on the same day as they subpoenaed the same witnesses.
Attorney Lauren Regan in her motion to dismiss the trespassing charges writes that closing the plaza and forcing the protesters to leave violates the U.S. Constitutions First Amendment as well as Article I of the Oregon Constitution.
Lane County Administrator Liane Richardson ordered the free speech plaza to be closed and controversially called for disinfection of the plaza. At the hearing, Valkyrie says, Richardson testified that she smelled human feces in planter boxes in the plaza within 24 hours of the closure order and had several coversations about it with the sheriffs sergeant in charge of the clean up. But Valkyrie says the sheriffs sergeant testified that he didnt actually find any feces and that he smelled the feces after the barricades went up, which Valkyrie says would be two days later.
Valkyrie, who calls the feces testimony poop fiction, says that either way, there were no feces to be smelled. Protesters used nearby city bathrooms and had peacekeepers and a clean-up crew. This is protocol at every protest, she says. You leave the place better than you found it.
She also says she takes issue with the way that county prosecutor Daniel Barcovic tried to invoke George Zimmerman in his questions about if the peacekeepers were trained or carried weapons.
The poop issue is key because a public health hazard could be seen as a reasonable legal basis for closing the plaza. Valkyrie and the SLEEPS protesters maintain that free speech has no curfew. The case resumes July 18 but a ruling is not expected until later.
liberals have minds?
Good Point.
Poop is "speech"?
How about lead?
Here's what SLEEPS is.
A new pre-school book in my wife's school: "Everybody Poops."
Garbage in.....
And some of you got mad at me for writing about snot.
Valkyrie..."You leave the place better than you found it.
Right...sure. Commies and leftists trash everything and leave it for others to pick up. Look at Occupy XYZ, Seattle WTO, you name it. What fevered dreams she has.
Yeah compost on the brain.
"'Alley Valkyrie.' Now there's a made-up handle if I ever heard one."
Rod Manly
Yeah. What gets me is these liberals aren't inviting this homeless folks into their homes. Oh no they are fighting for them to sleep outside in shabby tents and cardboard boxes. They aren't trying to get them into safe homeless shelters they instead are using these poor people as pawns to raise their profiles as activists.
Community organizers, FRiend: The copraphiliac ministers of the left's religion of dung.
Poop happens. Speech happens. Ergo...
Bingo. I had to LOL at her ridiculous declaration. Better, my butt.
Inside every liberal is a dung slinging monkey.
These people are demented.
Proof that liberals DO talk out of their a$$es.
Alley Valkyrie (why yes, I'm sure that's her real name) must be having a transcendental experience where she's actually part of Tea Party rally. There is NO lefty group that doesn't sh!t all over place and leave it behind for some downtrodden minority to pick up (you know, those same minorities said lefties say they're protesting for).
That book has been around for at least 20 years. Check the copyright.
Smearing poop on a Bible or American flag is free speech to liberals, but hate speech if smeared on a Koran
No, Speech comes out of the other end.
In fact, historical material pertaining to James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, Justice John Marshall and John Bingham, the main author of Section 1 of 14th Amendment, all clearly indicate that the states had decided that general prohibitons of government power in the BoR applied only to the federal government unless expressly applied to the states.
For example, Jefferson had noted the following concerning the 1st and 10th Amendments. The Founding States had made the 10th Amendment to clarify that the states had reserved government power to regulate our basic 1st Amendment protected freedoms uniquely to themselves, regardless that they had made the 1st Amendment to prohibit such powers entirely to Congress.
"3. Resolved that it is true as a general principle and is also expressly declared by one of the amendments to the constitution that the powers not delegated to the US. by the constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively or to the people: and that no power over the freedom of religion, freedom of speech, or freedom of the press being delegated to the US. by the constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, all lawful powers respecting the same did of right remain, & were reserved, to the states or the people: that thus was manifested their determination to retain to themselves the right of judging how far the licentiousness of speech and of the press may be abridged without lessening their useful freedom, and how far those abuses which cannot be separated from their use should be tolerated rather than the use be destroyed; (emphasis added) " --Thomas Jefferson, Kentucky Resolutions, 1798.
Although FDR's puppet justices later claimed that the 14th Amendment applied the BoR's limitations and prohibitions of certain government powers to the states, they wrongly ignored that John Bingham, mentioned above, had officially clarified in the congressional record that 14A did not take away state rights.
"The adoption of the proposed amendment will take from the States no rights (emphasis added) that belong to the States." --John Bingham, Appendix to the Congressional Globe. (see bottom half of first column)
"No right (emphasis added) reserved by the Constitution to the States should be impaired " --John Bingham, Appendix to the Congressional Globe. (see top half of first column)
"Do gentlemen say that by so legislating we would strike down the rights of the State? God forbid. I believe our dual system of government essential to our national existance." --John Bingham, Appendix to the Congressional Globe. (see bottom half of third column)
So what institutionally indoctrinated Attorney Lauren Regan evidently doesn't understand about the 1st and 10th Amendments is the following. Based on Jefferson's words about 10A-protected nanny state power to reasonably regulate our 1A-protected rights, and Bingham's clarifications that 14A did not take such powers away, both cities and states can make laws which reasonably protect the public from potentially unsanitary expressions of so-called free speech.
Is that some kind of spider in her hair?
pretty crappy way to protest. But, that may explain the jerks who don't pick up their dog's crap; they are protesting ... umm... well, I guess something.
Nowhere on earth has flinging fecal waste at others been considered free speech.
It is a health hazard and I would assume it to be a physical assault on me and my health. if those people have incurable infections of any kind that is potentially a death sentence.
I believe officers are allowed to shoot at people they believe have AIDS or other deadly diseases and are trying to infect others. I know courts give these people long sentences for deliberately doing this to people.
Yep...even in our dog-friendly apartment complex, with baggie stations every hundred yards and plenty of disposal facilities, there are some clowns who do not pick up their pup's poop.
And possibly fermented.
Free speech means they can speak but we don't have to listen.
Their rights end where they infringe on my rights.
Flinging words, I can get away from. Crap flung at me that hits me, infringes my rights to live peaceably without being accosted and assaulted by others.
It's a health hazard.
People can get sick.
I hope they win this argument.
Because if they do, i'm going to exercise my free speech rights on the graves of people like Teddy Kennedy.
There is another called "The gas we pass"
You're kidding!
Leftists have no problem living in 3rd World squalor. Look to Detriot and those hoarding shows. Almost every single one of them comes across as some liberal environmentalist wacko.
The means of production are in the hands of the lumpenproletariat and the ruling classes (i.e., OWS).
Proof that they're full of it. I guess those pro abortion freaks in Austin believe throwing feces is free speech. In my oppinion those are fightin' words.
minds.... what an assumption you make
Did you copy that from, or post it to, the Youtube comments? Or is it just a like-minds coincidence that "...they instead are using these poor people as pawns to raise their profiles as activists," appears there as one of 3 comments?
In any case, right on! Libs are NEVER about actually helping those they adopt as a cause; and usually end up doing them harm; then fading into the woodwork, their own objectives achieved.
Somewhere there has got to be an EPA regulation violated there. They've got one for every situation.
This is the direct result of the 60's drug induced population and thier offspring
My Labrador retriever is a great orator.
Yes I posted it. :-) Usually it comes down to its about THEM. Its not about the homeless, its not about the downtrodden but how they can inflate their own power through the use of them.

Acrylic - Dark Grey TINT
0.120 inches
What is it
Acrylic (PMMA) is a thermoplastic that is available in a wide range of colors including transparent tints and clear to opaque solid colors.
Orders using this material will ship as fast as same day. Find out more.
Design notes
Acrylic is hard and stiff as plastics go. It is sensitive to stress concentrations sharing a certain fragility with glass. This is most evident if parts are small or thin. Details should not be smaller than 1mm/0.04" as they are likely to be too fragile. Adding radii to corners can reduce the risk of breaking. For some tips on how to design for acrylic see this blog post.
Acrylic retains detail when laser cut and it engraves well. For tips on engraving see this blog post. The engraving can be painted with great results see this blog post. for more information.
To determine the optimum engraving depth for your design, we suggest prototyping or purchasing a sample of this material from out sample store.
Acrylic has a thickness tolerance of +/-15% of the material thickness.
Acrylic is supplied with protective paper on both sides of the sheet. The protective paper on the bottom of the material must stay on to protect the material from heat flares. The paper on the top surface is removed only if there is any light/medium raster/vector engraving, as anything other than heavy engraving does not adequately etch through the paper. The paper can also be removed on request in all other cases. Read more about optimising acrylic engraving in this blog post.
NOTE: the samples in the sample store are all cut with no paper on top.
Acrylic can scratch easily and should be cleaned with a mild solution of dish detergent and warm water. Never clean with other cleaners not suitable for acrylic or with a dry cloth.
Typical uses
Acrylic is commonly used as signage, glazing and in building applications, fabricated point of sale displays, menu holders, display cabinets, machine guards, furniture inserts, aquariums & fish tanks, jewelry and tableware.
Environmental info
Acrylic is non toxic and recyclable in some areas.
Adhesives, joints & fastenings
Acrylic can be joined with epoxy, Weldon 3, 16 and 40, Weld-on #4 PETG Cement, Dichloromethane and chloroform. Screw joints should be pre-drilled to avoid splitting.

Peter Greer has spent his life doing good, from serving refugees in the Congo to leading HOPE International, a Christian-based network of microfinance institutions operating in 16 countries around the world. Yet as he argues in his latest book, The Spiritual Danger of Doing Good, "service and charity have a dark side."
As a study from Fuller Seminary concluded, only one out of three biblical leaders finished well, despite the good they accomplished during their lifetimes. How can Christians avoid the spiritual dangers that persist in pursuing the good of our neighbors?
Greer's book offers plenty of answers, and in an interview with On Call in Culture, he was kind enough to offer a glimpse.
As a young man, you noticed a certain brokenness in the aid industry—manipulation, phoniness, failure to uphold the dignity the human person. Yet you began to recognize these same traits within your own heart. Why does the position of the heart matter? Why isn't it good enough to get busy?
In 2002, a volcano erupted in Congo. I went to help. Up high on a platform, I handed out blankets to refugees. And a photographer was snapping photos. But I wasn't thinking about the refugees. My thought was: I can't wait until people back home see these photos of me.
That moment helped me see how it's possible to appear to be serving God but actually be making our service all about us. Unless we rediscover why we serve, our service can become a way to promote our image, heightening vanity and pride. (more…)

I often see two "paper cut" looking slits on either end of my vagina...do I have an STD?
I have had recurring vaginal problems for a couple of years. Almost every time after having sex, I become extremely irritated and have severe itching for up to a week. These symptoms are accompanied by two "paper cut" looking slits on either side at the end of my vagina. They're not deep, but they're about an inch long and they sting like crazy...you wouldn't even notice them unless they were pointed out because they literally are on the first layer of skin. Also occurring sometimes is a tiny cut, like a small gash, in the same spot each time in the middle of my clitoris. It's like it just splits or tears down the middle. Is this an STD?

Consumer-packaged goods (CPG) companies, retailers, and their business partners often tout the ways they put customers at the center of their strategies. But while many companies do a good job of understanding their customers, perhaps not as many create demand by coordinating across marketing, sales, and innovation—functions and activities that now encompass the demand chain. This 10Minutes explores ways companies can capitalize on knowing their customer with demand functions pulling in the same direction.
The demand chain integrates the activities and stakeholders that spark consumers' devotion to products and brands to drive growth. Creating customer interaction, efficiency, and growth requires a demand chain that embraces innovation and aligns with the supply chain because it is woven into the fabric of a company, its brands, and its products.Related thought leadership

Michael Williams is a Presidential Management Fellow on rotation from the Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement to U.S. Embassy Kabul's Political-Military section.
My twelve inch plastic Christmas tree sits prominently on the nightstand in my hooch, the containerized living space I fondly call home here at Embassy Kabul. Carefully wrapped presents sent APO by my family in New York overshadow the pinecone ornaments and miniature lights decorating the tree. Scanning the rest of the bright white plastic walls and furniture making my little container, other mementos of the holiday season catch the eye: red and green miniature Reese's peanut butter cups, a large but empty stocking hanging from the window frame and a new sweater strewn over my chair – a prematurely opened present. Here will be the setting for my Christmas this year.
At an Embassy like Kabul, the people you see everyday are not simply office colleagues, but your surrogate family for the duration. Life's normal interactions are restricted by security walls, limited travel in armored vehicles to sit behind more security walls and a vague perception of the dangers waiting outside. Christmas becomes a time to strengthen ties with the Embassy family, whether they celebrate Christmas or not. The feelings of family and sharing are brought out by a confluence of changes in the compound environment. Decorations appear in the cafeteria, idle talk turns to expressions of packages expected and received and little get-togethers with specially prepared foods and spirits fill the little apartments.
As is the case every year around this time, I look forward to the winter holiday season. I indulge in the smiles, the food and the anticipation of something just over the horizon. The presents too, are certainly welcome. This will be my first Christmas away from my family in New York, something that I was not looking forward to when I volunteered to work at the Embassy. Amazingly though, not only am I finding that I'm not as disconnected from my family back home as I expected, but I've been welcomed into a second family. APO presents have made there way to me in this now snowy and gray part of Afghanistan, whereas I've been able to share presents with my loved ones through the magic of Internet product purchase (something I admit to doing long before it became a necessity). To add to this, the great advent of webcams and video conferencing will allow me to see the smiles of my family when we open each others gifts, albeit thousands of miles apart.
The holiday sharing with my new Kabul family will span the twelve days of Christmas and bring me to the final present-opening scene. Intimate and not so intimate gatherings complete with holiday music, mulled wine and Santa hats have begun and will continue to fill the Embassy staff's calendar. Everyone walks a little lighter and grins a little more, building on the aura of the season surrounding them. The serious work continues at its frantic and difficult pace, but the promise of a sociable evening with family makes everyone beam in the face of it all.
Noah in Washington writes:
Thanks for helping those of us back home understand what it's like out there. Keep up the good work, and don't open too many more presents before the 25th!
Dan in Washington, DC writes:
Michael: Thanks for your inspiring message and for your service to the U.S. and for peace and prosperity in Afghanistan.
Your story, and the importance of recognizing the sacrifice and sharing the holidays with loved ones away from home in service of our nation and the cause of liberty, reminds me of a story my father used to tell about returning home after WWII.
My dad had been away from home for the holidays three years during the war, as he was first stationed in North Africa, then in Italy, and finally in Germany following the end of WWII. He came home for good in November after the war ended, and he got a job with the U.S. Government. However, given that he was the newest member on the staff, he was told that he would have to work over Christmas week. He protested that he'd been overseas the last three years fighting WWII and that he wanted to be home for Christmas, but to no avail. Well, he quit that job on the spot and was indeed home for the holidays!
I for one will be thinking of you, and thanking you and all the others serving our nation during the holidays. And when you return, I trust and hope that everyone will do what they can to make sure you enjoy future holidays at home with your family!
And as that classic, popular song puts it, "...I'll be home for Christmas, you can plan on me ...if only in my dreams."
All the best!
Doug in New York writes:
Thank you so much. We hope you can come home soon. We'll do our best to elect Obama, which should help us get out of this mess over there. In the meantime, hang in there.
Mary in New York writes:
Hi Michael... Your Mom shared your site with me. Good to know that you're managing to bear the distance with a smile during the holidays. Wish you a safe, peaceful New Year and a speedy return home.
Gail in New York writes:
We met many times and you even came to my house one Christmas Eve -- a long time ago. While fascinated with our U.S. Afghan policy, I remain concerned and proud all Americans who serve our cause.
In closing, we are with you in spirit, and wish you a happy and safe New Year.
Gail (Mom's good friend)
Patricia in New York writes:
Hi Michael: I work at NYHQ with your Mom and I know how very proud of you she is and we all are for that matter.
I hope that the New Year will bring you good health and happiness. Please be assured that you are in my prayers, God bless you. Warmly, Patricia.

Trail Running in a Wetsuit
Sweden's ÖTILLÖ race takes trail runners over 26-island archipelago
Photo © Jakob Edholm / ÖTILLÖ2013
Being the only Kiwi who'd ever raced Sweden's ÖTILLÖ swim-run endurance challenge, I felt I had to knock this one off. The waves crashed my body against the rocky shore, then sucked me out back out just as quickly. I looked for finger holds in the rock face. Floundering in the water with hand paddles looped around my wrists and my (mandatory) personal buoy banging against my legs, I became more worried about my life than representing my country.
On paper, the race had sounded perfectly doable to me and my race partner, Renata, an accomplished Irish long-distance triathlete. ÖTILLÖ boasts 75 kilometers of racing—65 kilometers of running and 10 kilometers of swimming—over 26 islands of the Stockholm Archipelago, the second largest in the Baltic Sea. For safety reasons, the race is completed in pairs, with partners having to stay within 10 meters of one another all day long. Renata and I called ourselves "Team PenRen."
Some runners opted to stay connected with a rope between them. Photo © Jakob Edholm / ÖTILLÖ2013
We'd obsessed for weeks over our gear and how the distances, when broken down between islands, would be achievable. We had calculated goal splits, being very generous on the timings to allow for getting in and out of the water. With these times laminated and glued to our swim paddles, we knew we would have a tough day, but were confident we could make all five cut-offs and finish in time for beers before dinner.
The first island that morning was nature's slap in the face. The rocky shoreline, boulders and slippery granite that greeted us were not conducive to easy running flow. We worked up a fast scramble and picked our path along the shore, through scrub and over boulders, following carnival tape hanging from the trees.
At the race briefing, we'd been told we needed to skirt several islands due to land ownership issues. After 4400 meters of wobbly walk-running in ankle-deep waters, we were cursing the land owners.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (459 votes).
In short: Tough for a first-timer!In full: This was my first proper race and the first time I have ever ran 10k (even in training)!I can't fault the organisation, everything seemed to go off without a hitch, and it was great to get a print out of your race stats as you cross the line!It's a beautiful but tough course with 3 tough hills, but despite this I really enjoyed it and will be back next year to beat my time.Date of review: February 16, 2012
In short: Amazing race, magnificent scenery, brilliantly organised - can't faultIn full: This was my first time at Longleat. I've done one road 10k previously and a few trail runs so wasn't sure what to expect. The signs for parking at the event were very clear with plenty of parking. The set up of the race with sub 40 then sub 45 etc was such a good idea as we could start where we felt comfortable. There were a lot of 'serious runners' so I was a little scared of coming last. However I got round in 1 hour 4 minutes (so not quite last). The three hills were challenging but were manageable to run up. I thought the ground was exceptionally clear considering the snow fall the day before. I ran in trainers and was fine. I thought the marshals were fantastic - very encouraging. The crowd were great. The last 1k was brillinat - downhill all the way to the finish. Fab goody bag and medal and exact time logged. Highly recommend. Bargain. Will definitely be back next year. I have never been to an event before that was so well organised.Date of review: February 7, 2012
In short: I LOVE THIS RACE! In full: Given the icy hills I actually knocked 9 (!) Mins off last years time and now have a new 10k pb! The toilets are toilets.....I don't know what people expect. As the weather the day before was snowy I thought the course was actually remarkably clear. The organisation was good and the medal was 100 times better than last year. I've had worse goody bags but then the bag isn't the reason why I run! I will run this race again and again and again! Date of review: February 7, 2012
In short: Good race to blow the cobwebs away. Not for the feint hearted.In full: Quite a surprise that this event took place given the weather conditions the day before. However the sun made an appearance which allowed the temperature to rise to acceptable levels, making an enjoyable race. People should adjust their gear according to the likly conditions underfoot! Road shoes just dont cut it on snow / ice. .Date of review: February 6, 2012
In short: A first race!! Am I mad??In full: This was my first ever race and to say I've been working hard at training is an understatement. However, no matter how hard I trained, I dont think it would have prepared me enough for the hills! Oooh don't I ever ache today. BUT, the location is gorgeous, I love Longleat anyway and the atmosphere was fab. I was exceptionally uplifted on the final straight, running towards Longleat house and the finish line in the sunshine made me run faster than I ever have before! A lovely day and a fab run.... but next year I know what to expect :)Date of review: February 6, 2012
In short: the hills will make you hurt!In full: Glorious setting, and lovely route not at all dull even though you do run the same small section of it twice. Ran past deer and spotted a heron flying overhead, very picturesqueHills are an absolute killer though! Proud to have run the whole thing even though at times trying to scrabble up the icy, snow covered first hill would probably have been quicker if i'd walked!Once you get past 8k you knwo it's down hill and home all the way and that is a lovely way to end a race.Nice goody bag, lion head medal, and yummy banana recovery drink, also really enjoyed the free sample of muscle rub which I duly applied!Would do again, if only to see if I can better my time (1hr2mins) but wouldn't recommend as a 1st 10k, maybe 3rd or 4th would be betterDate of review: February 6, 2012
In short: Snow and hills on safariIn full: A nice course looping through Longleat, glorious final straight running towards the mansion - if only all races had such a fabulous view (and a nice downhill section to launch you onto the final straight).There were good facilities, enough portaloos for runners (I really don't understand the criticism about the toilets, have any of you BEEN to events before?!). There wasn't very much for spectators to do but to be fair to 2:09, it was mentioned in all the race information and on the website before entering that Longleat was closed that weekend. I'd much rather that the organisers spent time getting it right for the runners instead of worrying about spectators being entertained. I'm glad it wasn't just me who had trouble with the hill at 1km and 8km, I had to walk up the steepest part as my trainers were not equipped for ice. A bit of extra grit would have been nice, but the marshals at this point were excellent and gave clear instructions to runners as I passed so we knew to avoid the worst sections.A beautiful run, the icy hills added 7 minutes on to my PB time but I'm happy with what I achieved. I will be back next year.(I loved the medal too - thank you!) The only constructive criticism I would make is that on Sunday morning I was frantically checking the 2:09 Events Facebook page for an update on whether the race was still on and I noticed several other people posting questions. If a company is going to have a Facebook page, then it is a good idea to make sure that someone is responsible for updating it with last minute information. Something for 2:09 to keep in mind? Date of review: February 6, 2012
In short: A very nice raceIn full: I find it hard to understand all the criticism targeted at this race so far. To say the hills were a death trap is ridiculous. Yes it was icy but given the weather of the past few days this was hardly surprising. Maybe its because I do mostly trail running and had done the Grim Terror the night before, but you do wonder if most of these roadies would run on anything other than shag-pile carpet. The organisation was good, the cost was respectable, the goodie bag was fine for the price and it was a very nice scenic run. Please don't carp on about toilets - its an hours run after all not a five star holiday.Date of review: February 5, 2012
In short: Worth it for the unusual Medal. Ice on hillsl was dangerousIn full: Toilets were gross. I thought I was unlucky getting a toilet that didn't flush but seeing the reviews I guess they were all like that. I had read about the hills but didn't expect mountains. The slush and ice already mentioned at the steepest points was not helpful. Felt like I earned the lovely medal and cheese burger at the end and was still pleased with my time even though I would surprised at anyone getting a PB.Date of review: February 5, 2012
In short: the route was challenging the hills were good but the 1k-8k hill was a death trap !!!In full: the weather conditions were known days in advance so more grit should of been ordered the goody bag was ok but nothing special the route was goodDate of review: February 5, 2012

More:Seven Companies Sanctioned Under the Amended Iran Sanctions Act | Companies Reducing Energy-Related Business With Iran
Deputy Secretary of State James Steinberg addressed reporters to discuss actions the United States is taking under the Iran Sanctions Act at the Department of State on May 24, 2011. Deputy Secretary Steinberg said, "I'm here this morning to announce that Secretary of State Clinton has decided to impose sanctions on seven foreign entities under the Iran Sanctions Act of 1996 as amended by the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability, and Divestment Act, sometimes known as CISADA, of 2010, for their activities in support of Iran's energy sector. These companies are Petrochemical Commercial Company International (PCCI), Jersey and Iran; Royal Oyster Group, UAE; Speedy Ship, UAE, Iran; Tanker Pacific, Singapore; Ofer Brothers Group, Israel; Associated Shipbroking, Monaco; and Petroleos de Venezuela, sometimes known as PDVSA, in Venezuela.
"All of these companies have engaged in activities related to the supply of refined petroleum products to Iran, including the direct supply of gasoline and related products, as well as the provision of a product tanker to the Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines (IRISL), an entity that has been designated by the United States and the European Union for its role in supporting Iran's proliferation activities.
"The intent of sanctions on Iran is to pressure it to comply with its international obligations. In its struggle to secure the resources it needs for its energy sector, Iran repeatedly has resorted to deceptive practices to evade sanctions. This Administration, which is the first to impose sanctions on firms under the Iran Sanctions Act, has been working aggressively to prevent Iran from developing its energy sector. Iran uses revenues from its energy sector to fund its nuclear program, as well as to mask procurement of dual-use items. Today's actions add further pressure on Iran to comply with its international obligations.
"Under the Iran Sanctions Act, the Secretary has the authority to calibrate sanctions on a case-by-case basis. Accordingly, different sanctions have been selected for each entity ranging from prohibitions on certain types of government assistance to broader sanctions on property transactions with U.S. persons. In some cases, our intent has been to shut down the activities of target firms; in others our intent is dissuasive. In all cases, we've examined transactions in detail and have made judgments about the likely impact of our actions on the global energy market.
"For example, in the case of PDVSA, the sanctions we have imposed will cut off PDVSA's access to U.S. Government contracts, U.S. Export -- Import (inaudible) financing and licenses for controlled technologies. These sanctions will not prevent PDVSA's sale of oil to the United States or other markets, and the sanctions do not affect the operations of PDVSA's subsidiaries.
"To counter Iran's expanding nuclear program, the Department of State has spent considerable time and effort to discourage companies from doing business with Iran in sanctionable sectors. In fact, in September of last year, you may recall I held a similar briefing to announce that we had secured the withdrawal of four major international oil companies -- Royal Dutch Shell, ENI, Statoil, and Total -- from projects in Iran. And in October 2010, we secured the withdrawal of a fifth major oil company, INPEX, from its project in Iran. The impact of these withdrawals has cost Iran hundreds of millions of dollars.
"In the refined petroleum sector, we've seen many indications that shipments of refined petroleum have dropped significantly since the passage of CISADA. Some reports indicate that imports in some months have dropped over 60 percent.
"Iran has lost millions in potential revenue by converting petrochemical plants to produce gasoline to make up for their dramatic shortfall in gasoline imports. In addition, the State Department has also convinced the jet fuel suppliers in 17 cities in Europe and Asia to which IranAir flies to stop providing fuel. These firms have been joined by scores of other companies working in a variety of sectors that have recognized that the risk of doing business with Iran are just too high in light of Iran's continuing efforts in its nuclear program and its support of terrorism.
"When necessary we have imposed, and will continue to impose sanctions against firms that commit sanctionable activity, as we demonstrated with the sanctions against the oil firms Naftiran Intertrade Company and Belarusneft and the seven more companies we add to the list today.
"By imposing these sanctions, we're sending a clear message to companies around the world: Those who continue to irresponsibly support Iran's energy sector or help facilitate Iran's efforts to evade U.S. sanctions will face significant consequences.
"Additionally, in a separate action, the United States today is imposing sanctions on 16 foreign entities -- individuals pursuant to the Iran, North Korea, Syria, and Nonproliferation Act, sometimes known as INKSNA, for their activities in support of WMD or missile programs. These include companies -- include three Chinese entities and one Chinese individual, two Belarusian entities, five Iranian entities, and one Iranian individual, one North Korean entity, two Syrian entities, and one Venezuelan entity.
"These entities were sanctioned for the transfer to or acquisition from North Korea, Syria, or Iran of goods, services, or technologies controlled under the various export control regimes, or otherwise have the potential to make a material contribution to the developments of WMD or cruise or ballistic missile systems. The majority of these entities or individuals were sanctioned because of proliferation activity involving Iran.
"We've also worked diligently with our foreign partners in order to urge them to develop their own sanctions measures. In addition to four UN Security Council resolutions imposing binding obligations on states to implement sanctions against Iran, the EU, Japan, South Korea, Canada, Norway, Switzerland, and Australia have all also imposed robust autonomous sanctions against Iran.
"As a result, there's an international consensus to raise the cost of Iran's refusal to meet its international nuclear obligations, and these are not the end of our efforts. We continue to review reports of sanctionable activity, engaging with foreign governments and evaluating and applying U.S. sanctions laws."

In the Realm of the Senses released in Japan
On this day in 1976, one of the most controversial movies of all time, Nagisa Oshima's In the Realm of the Senses (aka Ai No Corrida), opened in Oshima's native Japan. The sexually explicit film told the real-life tale of the torrid love affair between hotel maid Sada Abe and her boss Kichizo Ishida, which famously ended when Abe asphyxiated Ishida during sex, and then cut off his penis and testicles (which she then carried in her handbag). Any film tackling this subject would inevitably been mired in controversy, however Oshima pushed the envelope even further during the production of the movie by having his actors Eiko Matsuda and Tatsuya Fuji engage in unsimulated sex for their highly charged love scenes. To get around Japanese censorship laws, In the Realm of the Senses was deemed a French film, with the footage being sent to France, where it was subsequently edited. When Oshima had completed the film, he premiered it in May 1976 at the Cannes Film Festival, where interest was so great that an unprecedented 13 screenings had to be organized. When the film was released in Japan in October of that year, five minutes had been cut from the original 113 minute version, and many shots had been blurred to obscure the actors' nudity. The fact that Senses was released in Japan at all was impressive: it was banned after screenings at the New York and Berlin Film Festivals (though both rulings were later overturned), and wasn't publicly shown in Britain or Canada until the 1990s. In 2000, a full-length version entitled Ai No Corrida 2000 was finally released in Japan, although the actors' genitalia were still obscured, this time by pixelation.
