Four injured in Ray Brook collision
RAY BROOK – Four people were hospitalized following a serious motor vehicle collision on state Route 86 Monday afternoon.
The accident happened in front of the entrance to the Saranac Lake Golf Club driving range. Ray Brook-based state police were called to the scene at 1:54 p.m. Trooper Nick Delahant said Saranac Lake Volunteer Fire Department personnel and a forest ranger were already there when he arrived.
Delahant said Melody Hayes, 18, of Saranac Lake, was driving a silver Honda Accord toward Lake Placid when she stopped to make a left turn into the driving range entrance. She believed the road to be clear, Delahant said, and made the turn, but didn't notice a silver Dodge Caravan with a Scott's Florist decal, driven by 72-year-old Thomas Hennessy of Saranac Lake, in the oncoming lane.
"He had no chance to stop," Delahant said. "They T-boned, and both cars bounced off of each other, coming to rest in the ditch by the entrance."
The air bags in both vehicles deployed. Each vehicle sustained extensive damage.
The Saranac Lake and Lake Placid rescue squads responded to the scene, transporting four people to local hospitals. Hennessy, who was driving alone, was taken to Adirondack Medical Center in Saranac Lake, where he was treated and released for bruising in the chest area. Hayes suffered the most serious injuries; she was treated at AMC-Lake Placid for a broken left collarbone, Delahant said, as well as cuts, scrapes and bruises. She has also been discharged from the hospital.
Hayes had two female passengers, both from Saranac Lake: 20-year-old Olivia Bushey and 19-year-old Nicole Larson. Bushey was treated for cuts and bruises at AMC-Lake Placid and released, while Larson was taken to AMC-Saranac Lake, where she was treated for possible torn right knee ligaments, cuts and bruises. She was also released, Delahant said.
Delahant said Hayes was ticketed for failure to yield the right of way when making a left turn.
"After surveying the scene, I also found some marijuana in the car and one smoking device," he said. Hayes now faces one count of unlawful possession of marijuana, a violation, Delahant said.
Larson was also allegedly in possession of marijuana. She and Hayes will be issued appearance tickets returnable to North Elba town court at a later date, Delahant said.
The vehicles were towed from the scene by Madden's Towing and Recovery and Central Garage.
Delahant thanked Saranac Lake firefighters for their help.
"They did a good job with helping out with traffic control during a busy time of day there," he said. "There was a lot of traffic."
The scene was cleared by 3 p.m.

Re; Mr. Xi, who once said, "I ate a lot more bitterness than most people," and then when visiting Mexico last year was full of it, saying;
"Some foreigners with full bellies and nothing better to do engage in finger-pointing at us," he said. "First, China does not export revolution; second, it does not export famine and poverty; and third, it does not mess around with you. So what else is there to say?"
Well maybe he'll listen to a fellow who's been eating with the homeless in order not to starve to death of late and has a lot to say about his malfunction of understanding where it concerns the responsibility of nations, precicely because I have better things to do than worry about this.
Dear Mr. Xi,
(c/o US Dept of State and Dipnote)
In regards to your remarks in Mexico, I must advise you that taking over and subjugating Tibetans to a Chinese "cultural revolution" is not in your interest. To support for decades a tyranical regime in North Korea that starves its people and threatens to impoverish the region with war, who builds nuclear weapons and theatens my country and allies with their use and exportation to sponsors of terror on the black market; makes your government completely liable for what happens next, make no doubt about this.
I must inform you Mr. Xi that I have advised my government to send your nation a bill in the trillions of dollars (US) for the total cost of providing peace and prosperity on the Korean peninsula for the last 57 years the now ripped up armistice was in effect, payable immediately, now that 'lil Kim is a declared nuclear terrorist, thanks to China's unconditional aquiecence of such criminality over many decades culminating in an unacceptable security situation in the region.
Which obviously threatens you national security as well. Karma always comes back home to roost.
You and Mr. Hu and the Party you belong to must now make a wise choice to become a responsible member of this international community called "the family of nations" and take responsibility for your national mistake before it becomes your national disgrace and destroys whatever good relations you may wish to enjoy with America and its people.
China policy has been "messing with us" for a long time sir.
Whether my government has explained this to you privately or not, it is the interests of peace and prolonged good relations that I must inform you of this publicly, for tommorrow waits for no one.
You must decide what tommorrow you wish to see come.
@ Palgye,
Does this about cover it?
"Under China's acquiescence to North Korea are you going to attack? China's next leader, but the story was meant to attack, if he does overthrown?""Reunification" may happen sooner than you think my friend.
Be well.

The START treaty is DOA unless someone from State personally visits with Senator Kyl (AZ) to discuss his objections to it.
If nobody can be bothered to do that now, then the next administration will take credit for it, if it happens at all.
The flaw with such treaties is that they don't bind the allies, so a decrease in US nuclear weapons may be matched by an increase in British nuclear weapons without violating the treaty.
A better choice would be to create a treaty binding all NATO members and Russia, to try to limit the global supply of advanced nuclear devices.

@ P.J. Crowley -DoS spokesperson,
From DoS briefing Nov. 24th 2010;
Re; "As we've said all along, China is pivotal to moving North Korea in a fundamentally different direction, which is not – just to state the obvious, that North Korea is a sovereign country and will do what it's going to do, whatever that is."
- PJ Crowley Assist Sec. of State- Public Affairs
The question I have is; How US policy intends to pivot China's policy towards North Korea in a more realistic direction upon China's certain realization that their pet dog has gotten off it's leash once again and gone and bit their neighbor and his kids?
When it comes right down to it, all America knows that China could have at any point put its military foot down on the North Koreans and said, "You don't get to be in power long enough to cause trouble for us and everyone else."
Instead, for the sake of "stability", China has in fact helped create the opposite, thus my letter to "the next leader" of China that "national mistake becomes a national disgrace" if a "wise choice" is not made on China's part.
Now it may be hard for some to delve into the minds of madmen or look for the truth within propaganda, but I think folks can stop speculation on the rationale behind recent attacks by North Korea and look at the last paragraph in the following to realize just "what they're up to."
It's all "open source"...nothing of any intelligence about it.

Joint Resolution on 20th Anniversary Pomminryon
Pyongyang, November 20 (KCNA) -- The North, South and Overseas Headquarters of the Pan-National Alliance for Korea's Reunification (Pomminryon) Saturday made public a joint resolution on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of its formation.
Looking back with great pride and self-confidence on the path covered by Pomminryon over the past two decades on which it has taken the lead in putting spurs to the movement for independent reunification, the resolution expressed the unshakable will to continue advancing the June 15 era of independent reunification with fresh faith and determination as follows:
We will firmly preserve and thoroughly implement the historic inter-Korean joint declarations.
We will add more shine to the precious achievements made in the June 15 era and make positive efforts to put into practice all the provisions of the inter-Korean joint declarations and agreements on their implementation.
We will stir up the atmosphere of dialogue, reconciliation and cooperation for improving the inter-Korean relations.
Pomminryon will take the lead in the drive to promote and reenergize visits, contacts, multi-faceted dialogue and cooperation between the north and the south to implement the inter-Korean joint declarations.
For the present, we will make efforts in every aspect to make sure that the humanitarian cooperation undertakings and inter-Korean dialogue for the resumption of tour of Mt. Kumgang and Kaesong open a new phase in improving the inter-Korean relations.
We will make positive efforts to achieve widespread solidarity with all pro-reunification and patriotic forces at home and abroad and great unity of the nation.
We will stand against the anti-reunification forces' confrontation between systems and war moves and firmly defend the peace of the country.
Pomminryon will wage a resolute struggle against all traitorous, anti-reunification and anti-peace acts such as sparking off the confrontation between the systems in the north and the south and bringing a war despite the strong protest of all the fellow countrymen.
We will make positive efforts to drive the U.S. troops out of this land as they are persistently standing in the way of independent reunification of the Korean nation and inciting confrontation and war between the north and the south and build a lasting and solid peace-keeping mechanism.

PJ, you know I'd rather be placing bets with you on next year's Red Sox line-up, and it's the holi-daze and all...but I rather doubt this incident to be "a one-off" unless someone engages in a "smack-down".
It's only right to call the owner and have him put the rabid dog down...that China has been feeding this mut is a no-brainer and thus controls it...except that its got rabies now....and that's always fatal.
This is not the time for China to play "mr. reasonable" with North Korea.
Folks have tried that already and it is now that Mr. Hu and Mr. Xi's and the Party's tomorrow has come and a decision awaits the dawn of awareness.
I don't suppose they read Dipnote, do they?

What will 2023 look like? Or 2061?
Based on cues taken from Her, a Spike Jonze cinematic fantasy set in an indeterminate time and place, the future might not look so different from the here and now.
In the unlikely screen romance between a lovelorn hero (Joaquin Phoenix) and his computer operating system (the disembodied voice of Scarlett Johansson), the wardrobes seem peculiarly current.
Aside from a few unsettling tweaks — shirts worn one atop the other; an off-kilter palette of chemically burnt-looking pinks, greens and oranges; and the high-waisted pants worn by most of the men — the sartorial style seems as familiar as anything found at Gap.
"The idea was to create a world that looks a lot like the world we live in," costume designer Casey Storm said, "but just different enough to tell you that you are not 100 percent in the present."
To that end, the filmmakers dodged sci-fi cliches — such as band-collared uniform jackets and glints of chrome — in favor of a high-function wardrobe.
The muted vision had a visceral appeal for Humberto Leon, a partner in Opening Ceremony who collaborated with Jonze to create fashions that echo the low-key aesthetic of the movie, which will open on Dec. 18 in limited release (and Jan. 10 in central Ohio theaters).
The collection incorporates a few crafty concessions to the future.
"Every pocket is meant to perfectly fit a device, a tablet or an iPhone," Leon said.
Other items allow for the passage of cords and wires extending from devices.
"It was really important for me," he said, "to interpret something that didn't feel costumey."

LONG BEACH, CA (Catholic Online) - The people in today's Gospel are divided over Jesus. They're not sure what to make of him. Some say he is the promised Moses-like prophet who is to come. Others are convinced he is Israel's long awaited Messiah and King. Still others are thoroughly skeptical. He cannot be the Messiah, they argue. He's from Nazareth. The Messiah will be born in Bethlehem and he will be a descendent of David. They want to arrest him but they are fearful of the admiring crowds.
In their rejection of Jesus, this latter group is obviously wrong but for the right reasons. It is true the Messiah will be born in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2). It is true that he will be of the line of King David. However, they didn't bother to find out if in fact Jesus of Nazareth fits the bill, which of course he eminently does, having been born in Bethlehem and being of the house of David. Rather, they choose to remain ignorant of the facts and as a result, they reject him out of hand.
Since Wednesday the world has been abuzz with the stunning announcement of the election of the first pope from the "New World." And that is not the only "first." The 266th Roman Pontiff is also the first Latino pope (although he is the son of Italian immigrants), the first Argentinian pope, the first Jesuit pope and the first pope to take the name Francis. The announcement that the Cardinal electors had chosen Cardinal JosÄ— Mario Bergoglio of Buenos Aires to succeed Benedict XVI took everyone by surprise, even the so-called Vaticanologists!
But, habemus papam! We have a pope and this is truly a gaudium magnum, a great joy! Not everyone, however, is rejoicing as heartily as they should. Just as there was division over Jesus 2000 years ago, there is division over this new Vicar of Christ on earth.
What do I mean?
Those dippy people who were hoping that the next pope would somehow cancel out 2000 years of Church teaching on all the so-called hot button issues of abortion, contraception, same sex marriage (sic), women's ordination (sic) and the like, are obviously displeased with the new pope.
When people asked me who I thought would succeed Benedict XVI, I simply said, "He will be Catholic!" The fact that Pope Francis is Catholic is a disappointment to these confused and unfortunate souls. The changes in Church teaching they were hoping for will never materialize.
Then there are those who are concerned about the new pope's "style," for lack of a better term. These are the people who pay close attention to what the pope wears. It is true that Pope Francis departed from established protocol at his first appearance on the loggia overlooking St. Peter's square.
Pope Francis was not clad in the usual "choir dress" that popes wear. Instead, he wore the simple white cassock (the "house dress" of the pope) and eschewed the "rochet" or surplice and the familiar shoulder length, red silk "mozetta." He didn't even wear the elaborately embroidered papal stole until it was placed over his shoulders for the urbi et orbi blessing.
These omissions are for some the equivalent of an ecclesiastical "wardrobe malfunction" and are seen as perhaps signaling a troubling break with tradition. I understand these concerns but I do not think we should make too much of them. This is, after all, the pope who took the name of the "poor man of Assisi" who lived a life of poverty and simplicity. I do not think we should be troubled by the Franciscan tone of the papacy of Papa Francesco. On the contrary, we should all be edified.
There are other concerns, perhaps more serious ones, concerning the liturgy. Pope emeritus Benedict XVI in the eight years of his pontificate did so much to emphasize faithfulness to the liturgical norms and the importance of beauty in carrying out the Church's liturgical rites. For this we all owe a huge debt of gratitude to our beloved German pope.
Some fear that our new Holy Father will undo these achievements made by Benedict and move toward a more simplistic approach to the liturgy. In this regard, Pope Francis' installation Mass on Tuesday, the Solemnity of St. Joseph, will be telling.
In the meantime, I would make the following points.
First, it is unwise and even unjust to make comparisons between the personalities as well as the liturgical proclivities of Benedict and Francis. They are very different men who come from very different backgrounds and cultures. They are both, needless to say, Catholic!
Second, while the Apostolic See is solely responsible for the regulation of the Sacred Liturgy, we should not expect that Pope Francis will issue new decrees that will substantively change the Church's liturgical norms or revoke any of the "Benedictine" reforms (e.g., Summorum Pontificum).
Third, Pope Francis has repeatedly spoken of his high regard for his predecessor and is undoubtedly appreciative of the impressive legacy of the papacy of Pope Benedict XVI.
Fourth, our new pope has taken St. Francis for his inspiration in large part because of the Poverello's great love for the poor. But let us not forget that St. Francis, although never ordained a priest, made sure that no effort was spared in providing the very best for the offering of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and in the handling of the Eucharistic species.
His biographer, Thomas Celano, wrote:
"[St. Francis] wished at one time to send his brothers through the world with precious pyxes, so that wherever they should see the price of our redemption kept in an unbecoming manner, they should place It in the very best place."
One who follows in the footsteps of St. Francis imitates Jesus in his poverty and becomes a servant of Christ in the poor. At the same time, a true Franciscan, like St. Francis himself, would never treat the Eucharistic Lord in a manner which is poor and shabby.
Finally, it is inevitable that Pope Francis will put his own stamp on his pontificate. This is to be expected. But whatever that stamp or style or tone, he is the pope, the Successor of St. Peter and the Vicar of Christ on earth. He deserves our utmost respect, our filial love and our constant prayers. How beautiful was his gesture there on the loggia when he introduced himself to the world and asked for the prayers of the faithful, bowing low as they prayed in silence for him?
St. Catherine of Siena would often say that the pope is "the sweet Christ on earth." That is how we should see him and love him and obey him.
We should ask the Lord to pour into our hearts a deep and abiding love for the Holy Father, whoever he may be, whether Benedict or Francis or whoever.
St. Josemaria Escriva once wrote: "For me, in the hierarchy of love, the Pope comes right after the Most Holy Trinity and our Mother the Virgin." (Conversations, 46)
Let us ask Our Lady, Mother of the Church, to intercede for our new Holy Father, Pope Francis, that his pontificate will be one which brings about an authentic renewal of the Church and draw many souls into a deeper union with Jesus the Lord!

To install the required packages, simply run the command below:
sudo yum install libtool texinfo java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel flex gcc-c++ ant ncurses-devel gc-devel glibc-devel lzo-devel libedit-devel pcre-devel libaio-devel elfutils-libelf-devel chrpath
Note: java-1.7.0-openjdk-devel must be used on Fedora 17 and above instead of java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel.
Note: On Fedora 15 and above, you must also install systemd-units.
Set the JAVA Environment Path:
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-18.104.22.168
Make sure the path corresponds to your installation.
Generate the configure script according to your environment:
Run configure with --prefix specifying the location where you want CUBRID to be built. On 64 bit systems, you must add --enable-64-bit parameter.
./configure --prefix=/usr/share/cubrid
(or ./configure --prefix=/usr/share/cubrid --enable-64-bit for 64 bit systems)
Run make and make install (for make install sudo access may be required to copy files to /usr/share/cubrid.
make sudo make install
All the files are installed in the prefix directory (in this case /usr/share/cubrid).
The files are owned by root. If you want to edit the owner run:
sudo chown -R user:user /usr/share/cubrid
The username and group in our example is user.
In order to set the CUBRID enviroment variables, you can use this cubrid.sh file. If you install CUBRID in a different directory, replace /usr/share/cubrid in the file with the path where you have installed CUBRID.
You have 2 options on how to use the cubrid.sh file:
1. copy it to /etc/profile.d/cubrid.sh and this way it will be loaded automatically
2. copy it to any location you want and load it using the command:
. /home/user/cubrid.sh
Make sure to leave a space between the "." and the cubrid.sh file. We assumed that /home/user is the directory where you copied the cubrid.sh file.
Create the databases folder and databases.txt file:
mkdir -p /usr/share/cubrid/databases touch /usr/share/cubrid/databases/databases.txt
Then, you can start and use cubrid:
cubrid service start
If you encounter any issue, post it on our forum or post a question in our Q&A section.

Police and school officials in a Phoenix suburb are teaming up to provide a police presence and visibility at an elementary school.
The Goodyear Police Department has set up a substation at Mabel Padgett Elementary School. The school in Goodyear is part of the Litchfield Elementary School District.
Goodyear Police Chief Jerry Geier says placing the substation at the school is a pilot program that's a proactive approach in response to school violence nationwide.
Geier says officers will use the substation to make calls and write reports during their shifts. He also says it will allow officers to interact with students in a positive manner.
The substation is the idea of Gina De Coste, the principal of Mabel Padgett Elementary School.

Open Letter to Amnesty International's London and Belfast Offices, on the Occasion of Noam Chomsky's Belfast Festival Lecture, October 30, 20091
by Edward S. Herman and David Peterson
In his wild and slanderous "Open Letter to Amnesty International" (signed, fittingly, "Yours, in disgust and despair"),2 The Guardian-Observer's veteran reporter Ed Vulliamy explains that two "main concerns" motivated him to draft his repudiation of AI's choice of Noam Chomsky to deliver this 2009 Stand Up for Justice lecture: One is that the "pain" individuals such as Chomsky are alleged to cause the "survivors and the bereaved" of the wars in the former Yugoslavia is "immeasurable," and Vulliamy feels some kind of need to help mitigate this pain; the other, apparently, is that the "historical record" as it pertains to these wars is too precious and too fragile to be left in the wrong pair of hands. "For Amnesty International, of all people, to honour this man is to tear up whatever credibility they have estimably and admirably won over the decades, and to reduce all they say hitherto to didactic nonsense," Vulliamy writes. "By inviting Chomsky to give this lecture, Amnesty condemns itself to ridicule at best, hurtful malice at worst -- Amnesty joins the revisionists in spitting on the graves of the dead."
To spit on the graves of the dead is a ghoulish act, and Vulliamy makes a serious charge -- against both Noam Chomsky and Amnesty International. Yet, it is notable that Vulliamy offers not a single quote or even paraphrase of what Chomsky has written or said about the former Yugoslavia to back up this charge; and in his writings for The Guardian-Observer over many years, we are unaware of a single published item under Vulliamy's byline that criticized, let alone excoriated, Chomsky.3 Vulliamy's Open Letter to AI complains that "Chomsky [has] said many things, from his ivory tower at MIT, to spur them [the revisionists] on," but Vulliamy never provides specifics -- just insults. This possibly results from the fact that Chomsky has never written or said anything remotely like what Vulliamy imagines and alleges -- Chomsky has never denied or questioned whether there were displaced persons- and detention- and POW-camps in Bosnia-Herzegovina during the wars there (1992-1995), never denied or questioned whether Bosnian Muslims were massacred following the fall of Srebrenica in July 1995, and so on. But from the standpoint of a writer aiming solely at denigration, it is necessary to leave it that "Chomsky said many things," and insinuate the worst.
A second fact relevant to the vitriol that Vulliamy expresses towards Chomsky and AI, and to Vulliamy's work overall, is that Vulliamy admits to being a "journalist of attachment."4 He has written proudly that "In 1996 [he] was the first journalist to testify" for the prosecution at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY). "There are times in history when neutrality is not neutral at all, but complicity in the crime," he explained. "I do not want to be neutral between the camp guard and inmate; the woman raped seven times a night every night, and the beast who rapes her."5 In fact, Peter Brock notes that Vulliamy has been "surprisingly frank and passionate . . . about his own abandonment of objectivity" at least since 1993, when he wrote in The British Journalism Review that he was "embarrassed . . . by how objective" he used to be. But "with Omarska and Trnopolje objective coverage of the war became a rather silly notion," Vulliamy proclaimed, and he was now "on the side of the Bosnian Muslim people against an historical and military program to obliterate them."6 Writing in The Guardian around the same time, Britain's Foreign Correspondent of the Year, who, his editors falsely claimed, "broke the story of the Serbian concentration camp together with [Independent Television News]," Vulliamy struck an equally committed pose: "[T]he horrors of war have taught me that there are things that are worse than war, and against them determined and careful war should be waged, in the name of the innocent and the weak. My father had the honour of fighting fascism; I have instead the strange privilege of meeting the people who are fighting a pale but unmistakable imitation of the Third Reich but have only the sons of the appeasers of 1938 to turn to."7
Over a very long period of time, Ed Vulliamy's attachment to Bosnian Muslims victims has been matched only by his hatred for "Serbian barbarism" and the "sons of the appeasers of 1938," including the "objective" journalists whose ranks he deserted long ago. It is within this camp of alleged appeasers of "Serbian barbarism" that Vulliamy now places Amnesty International, right alongside Noam Chomsky; and Vulliamy's Open Letter repeats each of these convoluted themes. Theoretically, a political commitment like that of Vulliamy would not necessarily result in serious bias in reporting news, but in his case, we have a paradigmatic illustration that it can do so in practice. As we will show in what follows, his attachments have led him to concoct, distort, and suppress evidence related to the former Yugoslavia for the better part of two decades.
Thus it is a notable fact that while Vulliamy was "there" on August 5, 1992, at both the Omarska and Trnopolje camps for the Bosnian Muslims in Bosnian Serb-controlled territory, and Chomsky most certainly was not, Vulliamy repeats a stream of falsehoods about the events of that day and their follow-up, confirmed by people who were "there." Second, he conflates those events with alleged denials and claims of "fakes" about the "concentration camps" that he and his colleagues with a British Independent Television News (ITN) crew allegedly helped to "discover."8 Vulliamy admits that Chomsky didn't -- unlike Thomas Deichmann writing in Novo in Germany, and later reprinted by LM in Britain (see below) -- propose "that these camps were a fake," nor use "grotesque arguments about fences around the camps," claims that "were beaten back in the High Court in London, by a libel case taken by ITN."
Note Vulliamy's use of the plural "camps," when the issue was solely about one camp, Trnopolje, and his one visit to this camp on August 5, 1992. In the very first report he ever published about this camp, Vulliamy had written that "Trnopolje cannot be called a 'concentration camp' and is nowhere as sinister as Omarska: it is very grim, something between a civilian prison and transit camp."9 What is more, nobody (and certainly not Chomsky or Deichmann) has ever contended that these camps themselves were "fake," though there always has been a dispute over the nature of the camps, the "fences around the camps," and what purpose(s) they served in the civil wars in Bosnia-Herzegovina during the second-half of 1992. In his Open Letter, Vulliamy makes all of the camps out to be concentration camps, with this term's ominous overtones of possible Nazi-like death camps. But this was manifestly not true of Trnopolje, which served as a transit center, and most of the people Vulliamy actually saw at Trnopolje were internally displaced persons fleeing the violence of the civil wars. Indeed, Vulliamy testified to this very fact the first time he acted as a witness for the prosecution at the ICTY in June 1996, in the trial of the Bosnian Serb Dusko Tadic, where Vulliamy referred to Trnopolje variously as a "staging post," "transit camp," and "distribution point."10 Only in his writings and reporting for The Guardian-Observer and other venues (for example, in his 1994 book Seasons in Hell11) did Trnopolje become fixed as a "concentration camp," with the Nazi-allusion firmly in place, a status that it retains in his Open Letter to AI: "places of extermination, torture, killing, rape and, literally, 'concentration' prior to enforced deportation. . . ."
The other big issue was whether the famous images of an emaciated man, Fikret Alic, the "symbolic figure of the war," as Vulliamy once described him, "on every magazine cover and television screen in the world,"12 who seemed to stand behind a barbed-wire fence while interviewed by the British reporters, were deceptive and misleading.
The simple answer is: Yes. First, it is well established that Fikret Alic's physical appearance -- often described as "xylophonic" because his ribcage showed prominently through his extremely thin torso -- was not representative of the rest of the displaced persons seen at Trnopolje by the British reporters on August 5, 1992.
More important, it is also well established (in the face of fanatic denials to the contrary) that Alic at no time while he was photographed and interviewed that day by the British reporters was standing behind a barbed-wire fence that enclosed him and the other Bosnian Muslim men. In fact, the actual fence used in the famous shots of Alic and the other men consisted of chicken-wire that stretched from the ground up roughly as high as the men's chests, with three strands of barbed-wire above the chicken wire, both affixed to the side of the fence posts facing away from the British reporters. In other words, this fence enclosed the area where the British reporters had positioned themselves to interview and film the Bosnian Muslim men, and these men -- Fikret Alic included -- stood outside the area enclosed by the fence.
This is what Thomas Deichmann's original debunking of "The Picture That Fooled the World" argued correctly13 -- much to the chagrin of the British reporters, to ITN, and to the British establishment, which resorted to Britain's onerous libel laws to punish LM magazine for publishing Deichmann's work in 1997, and used the British High Court to exact from LM the ultimate price: LM's bankruptcy and liquidation.14 Deichmann, who studied a copy of the unused film shot that day by ITN cameraman Jeremy Irvin, wrote:
The journalist Phillip Knightley also acquired the film shot by ITN's Jeremy Irvin that day (the out-takes included) and "examined it frame by frame." In an affidavit he filed on behalf of the LM defense, Knightley wrote:
This misleading use of a mostly chicken-wire, and only part barbed-wire fence that enclosed the reporters but not the Bosnian Muslims, and the selective focus on a single emaciated individual, were also established by the presence of a second team made up of a reporter and a cameraman working for Radio Television Serbia (RTS), which had accompanied the British reporters on their August 5 visits to Omarska as well as Trnopolje, and eventually released a documentary in Serbo-Croatian about the events of this day under the title Presuda ("Judgment").17 In the many years that Ed Vulliamy has protested -- as he did in his Open Letter to AI -- that he was "there" at Trnopolje when the British reporters' encounter with Fikret Alic occurred, Vulliamy has never acknowledged that the RTS reporter and cameraman were also there, frequently right beside him and the other British reporters, interviewing and filming the same groups of individuals -- but also filming some of the activities of Vulliamy, Marshall, Williams, and Irvin. This film, shot by the RTS (or second) cameraman, shows conclusively where the British reporters stood when they first happened upon and filmed Fikret Alic and the others. The impression of a "Belsen 92" (Daily Mirror, August 7, 1992), the evocation of Nazi-style death camps, the military-interventionists' question "Must It Go On?" (Time, August 17, 1992), and the subsequent awards and fame bestowed on these British reporters -- all must be understood as artifacts that resulted from their work inside the small enclosure at Trnopolje that day, and of their reluctance or fear to leap off the "concentration camp" bandwagon the instant that it started to roll on August 6-7, 1992, to tell the truth to the world about what they really found at Trnopolje when they were there, and how they constructed something politically useful out of it. Instead, as ITN reporter Penny Marshall explained ten days later, by the time she and her three British colleagues arrived at Trnopolje, "There [had] been many images of horror from the war in what was Yugoslavia," and "Public opinion throughout the civilised world [had] been outraged, yet governments [had] remained reluctant to intervene." But what differed this time was that she and her colleagues "had come away with powerful images," images "to move world opinion." After Trnopolje, "British newspapers were calling for military intervention; within 20 minutes of the [ITN] report being re-broadcast on American television, George Bush promised to press for a United Nations resolution authorising use of force."18 Thus had the journalism of attachment been placed in the service of one of its favorite objectives: Western military intervention.19
In his book Seasons in Hell, Vulliamy states explicitly that the Trnopolje camp was "surrounded by barbed wire fencing. And behind the wire, standing in a close-knit crowd under the impenitent sun, thousands of men and women, boys and girls of all ages, as dumbstruck to see us as we were amazed by what was before our eyes."20 This is a lie, implicitly repeated in his Open Letter to AI, where he talks about "grotesque arguments about fences," not openly claiming that the camp was surrounded by that fence, but suggesting that the counterclaim of Deichmann and other critics was false. Perhaps this is why Vulliamy never acknowledges the RTS crew whose work beside the British reporters at Trnopolje that day shows so clearly who stood inside the area enclosed by the part chicken-wire, part barbed-wire fence during the moments when the images of Fikret Alic were taken, the fence behind which the British reporters positioned themselves.
In yet another falsification, Vulliamy refers to the March 15, 2000 Judgment delivered by Justice Morland in the British High Court of Justice as supporting the "libel case taken by ITN" against LM over its reprint of Deichmann's original reporting. But Vulliamy suppresses the fact that Justice Morland found only that the British reporters' "intent" to deceive had not been proven, not that the factual substance of their work on August 5, 1992 had been accurate or had not been fundamentally misleading.21
Vulliamy is also deceptive about the "concentration camps." He inflates their importance and character and of course fails to mention any but Serb camps. There is no evidence that thousands were killed in these camps in Bosnia-Herzegovina; and the International Committee of the Red Cross reported the total number of prisoners known to the ICRC for the year 1992 in all camps, Serb, Muslim and Croat, to have been approximately 10,800.22 Nor is there any evidence that conditions or killings were more severe in Serb than in Muslim or Croat prison camps, but Western reporters such as Vulliamy were interested only in Serb camps.23
This same point extended to alleged Serb-run "rape camps," where Newsday's Roy Gutman led the charge over rape as a massive, deliberate, and uniquely Serb instrument of state policy, although he carried out this campaign in close coordination with Bosnian Muslim and Croatian propaganda agencies.24 These charges reached a frenzied level in early 1993, with the media and women's groups mobilized and calling for action against these horrors, and their service to the Serb demonization process rivaled that of the Fikret Alic photo at Trnopolje. The number of Bosnian Muslim women allegedly raped by the Serbs ranged from 20,000 to 60,000 or more, based entirely on a small number of claimed victims plus unverified hearsay and wild extrapolation. One of the media agents for this story belatedly mentioned that "too many reporters quoted the Bosnian government's patently unconfirmable claim that 50,000 Muslim women were raped by the Serbs."25 But the media didn't insist on confirmation -- they sought emotionally supercharged stories about atrocities, and then only when the atrocities could be attributed to Serbs. There is not a shred of evidence that rapes by Bosnian Serb forces were more substantial than by Bosnian Muslim or Bosnian Croat forces -- or anything more than crimes of opportunity. In fact, the Serbs put together a larger dossier of hard evidence of rapes of Serb women in the form of affidavits and documented testimonies than did the Bosnian Muslims,26 but the media were not interested.
As with every other major theme of these wars, the rape allegations were a propaganda coup -- and media failure -- greatly helped by the journalists of attachment. Vulliamy of course gets on this Serb rape bandwagon in his Open Letter to AI, but confines himself to a reference to "the succulence of 14-year-old girls kept in rape camps." This is mendacious demagoguery that would be hard to surpass.
While claiming to be worried about the impact of Chomsky's Belfast lecture on Bosnian victims, it is notorious that Vulliamy's choice of victims is so ethnically selective. He doesn't mention the thousands of Serb victims, and has never discussed the operations of the Bosnian Muslim commander Naser Oric, who actually bragged about killing Serbs in the vicinity of Srebrenica.27 Oric even showed videos of his slain Bosnian Serb trophies to Western reporters Bill Shiller and John Pomfret, and the UN Protection Force commander for Bosnia-Herzegovina, the French General Philippe Morillon, even testified before the ICTY that he was certain that vengeful Serb actions at Srebrenica in July 1995 were traceable back to Oric's earlier massacres.28 But these victims are unworthy for Vulliamy, and mentioning them would disturb his journalism-of-attachment model of one-sided villainy and victimization.
Vulliamy mentions Milosevic's alleged aim of an "ethnically pure Greater Serbia," but he fails to point out anywhere that the ethnic cleansing that occurred in Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Kosovo never happened within Serbia proper (exclusive of Kosovo). This point is awkward for a journalist of attachment as it conflicts with the ethnic-purity aim alleged of the Serbs and suggests that the civil wars in Bosnia had more complex roots. Also awkward is the fact that the greatest single case of ethnic cleansing in the former Yugoslavia was Operation Storm of August 1995, when clearly coordinated Croat and Bosnian Muslim offensives drove some 250,000 ethic Serbs out of the Krajina region along both sides of the Croatian and Bosnian borders, and the fact that the greatest proportionate case of ethnic cleansing has occurred in Kosovo, as the ethnic Albanian majority drove out ethnic Serbs and Roma after NATO occupied this province of southern Serbia from June 1999 on. These Serb victims have also not been able to return to their former homes. But those killed in these big-time ethnic cleansing operations and those permanently exiled are no more upsetting to Vulliamy than are the victims of Naser Oric.
In practicing the journalism of selective demonization/selective victimization, Vulliamy even peddles gross hearsay concocted by others. For example, back on July 8, 2001, he wrote that "Once Milosevic had back-stabbed his way to power and had switched from communism to fascism, he and Mirjana set out to establish their dream of an ethnically pure Greater Serbia cleansed of Croats and 'mongrel races' such as Bosnia's Muslims and Kosovo's Albanians."29 We have searched extensively for confirmation of this alleged reference to "mongrel races," and found a total of four different instances in which the phrase was attributed to Milosevic and/or his wife by another reporter prior to Vulliamy's use of it,30 but we were unable to get either Vulliamy or anyone at The Guardian-Observer to share Vulliamy's source with us, and we suspect that its use is apocryphal. Nothing like it is to be found in the 49,000 pages of the Milosevic trial transcript at the ICTY, and the prosecutors would have welcomed something like this in supporting their charges against Milosevic. On the other hand, we have the wartime Bosnian Muslim President Alija Izetbegovic's statement of intolerance from his Islamic Declaration of 1970 (re-issued in 1990) that Vulliamy has always dodged and misrepresented, wherein Izetbegovic affirmed the "incompatibility of Islam with non-Islamic systems," and rejected both peace and coexistence "between the 'Islamic religion' and non-Islamic social and political institutions."31 And we have the wartime Croatian President Franjo Tudjman instructing his military leaders in the days immediately before Operation Storm to "inflict such a blow on the Serbs that they should virtually disappear."32 But Vulliamy appears to have missed both of these, while repeating the "mongrel races" line against the couple he despises.
In Seasons in Hell, during what he called "the height of the war in July 1993," Vulliamy reported "hundreds of thousands of Muslims dead"; and at the start of the Milosevic trial in February 2002, in recounting the "Bosnian chapter" of the breakup of Yugoslavia, Vulliamy reported "some 200,000 deaths." Then in November 2005, Vulliamy quoted the High Representative to Bosnia-Herzegovina, Jeremy "Paddy" Ashdown, as Ashdown reflected on life "10 years after a war in which 250,000 people were killed;" and as late as July 2007, Vulliamy once again recounted the "killing of hundreds of thousands . . . all over Bosnia."333 But in 2005-2007, two establishment sources concluded that the number of deaths on all sides of the wars in Bosnia-Herzegovina from 1992-1995, including soldiers as well as civilians, was on the order of 100,000.34 This dramatic downward revision in the death toll badly deflated the longstanding establishment narrative of 200,000 or more deaths (not to mention Vulliamy's "hundreds of thousands"). But we have never been able to find any reference in Vulliamy's work to this sharp reduction in the Bosnian deaths or to the names of the researchers responsible for it.35 Isn't this refusal to correct an historical fabrication (mainly a product of Bosnian-Muslim propaganda) a form of genocide inflation, and in its own way as contemptible as "genocide denial"? In his Open Letter to AI, Vulliamy used forms of the word 'revisionist' no fewer than seven times. But isn't what Vulliamy repeatedly calls "revisionism" and "revisionist" in truth a point of view or even the correction of a previous error that Vulliamy himself simply doesn't want to see expressed or corrected? Surely both groups of researchers who have revised the death toll in Bosnia-Herzegovina to approximately 100,000 are revisionists in any reasonable sense of the word, but as they did their work on behalf of the establishment, they cannot be so designated. What an independent journalist or historian would call correcting the record, a journalist of attachment calls "revisionism."
While inflating and lying about Serb villainy, Vulliamy also protects his favored leaders and team by misrepresenting their position on the issues and their role. Thus, again in his Seasons in Hell, he explains Alija Izetbegovic's serial rejection of peace plans from Lisbon in early 1992 onward as a result of Izetbegovic's devotion to a "multi-ethnic republic," and his belief that any kind of partition would be "impossible without ethnic cleansing"36 -- when in fact Izetbegovic explicitly excluded "foreign ideologies" from his planned Bosnia, wanted a partition more favorable to the Bosnian Muslim side, with war and ethnic cleansing flowing predictably from his April 1992 declaration of independence, and he did a thorough job of removing Serbs from the Sarajevo area after the 1995 Dayton Accord. 37 Former National Security Agency analyst John R. Schindler shows in detail Izetbegovic's attachment to the Islamic Republics of Iran, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia, and how he helped introduce Al Qaeda into Europe during the local civil wars that Vulliamy and his fellow "journalists of attachment" eagerly supported. An excellent case therefore can be made that many of the deaths in Bosnia during the 1992-1995 years, over which Vulliamy has shed so many bitter tears, were fomented by the same journalists who swallowed the claims of the Western and Bosnian Muslim hawks that Izetbegovic was a committed democrat and that the peace plans supported by Western negotiators such as Cyrus Vance, Jose Cutileiro, David Owen, and Thorvald Stoltenberg were the work of the "sons of the appeasers of 1938," and simply wouldn't do.
Concluding Note
In sum, we have shown that in both his Open Letter to Amnesty International and in his record of reporting on the former Yugoslavia and on Bosnia-Herzegovina specifically, Ed Vulliamy has been a highly unreliable "journalist of attachment" -- that is, a journalist of open bias, and one who relentlessly rewrites the historical record in pursuing his villains and ennobling his victims. He touches nothing in this field without distorting it, creating and inflating evidence to his liking, swallowing hearsay, and ignoring and suppressing evidence that does not fit the desired line.
In the final analysis, Vulliamy's single citation from Noam Chomsky for which Chomsky ought to be criticized was Chomsky's statement in passing that Vulliamy is a "good journalist." And if Vulliamy is telling the truth about Amnesty International once offering him a "full time job as media director," then AI looks bad for this reason alone. That would have been a poor choice for an organization that does not believe in selective justice and no-holds-barred propaganda service.

Neither of these two Vulliamy-bylined articles took any noticeable issue with Chomsky's work. However, Vulliamy was "withering in his contempt for those supporting LM" in its defense against the libel suit brought against it by Independent Television News after LM published Thomas Deichmann's "The Picture That Fooled the World" in February 1997, and Chomsky had joined other writers in signing open letters against ITN's libel suit as a "very significant impediment to freedom of speech," in Chomsky's words. (Vikram Dodd, "Now for the Moment of Truth," The Guardian, February 21, 2000.) Vulliamy also joined 24 other signatories to a deeply inquisitorial letter of complaint to his own newspaper, The Guardian, back in late 2005, which accused The Guardian of "bestow[ing] a stamp of legitimacy on revisionist attempts to deny the Bosnian genocide and minimise the Srebrenica massacre" -- the familiar litany of complaints repeated by Vulliamy against Chomsky in his Open Letter to Amnesty International.

Along with the "explicit rejection of neutrality," the "journalists of attachment" have also "tended to follow the agenda of powerful Western governments," and their eagerness to "frame conflicts in terms of a good-versus-evil discourse of abusers and victims and call for ever-greater Western intervention performs a valuable service to governments which, having lost the stable framework of the Cold War, couch their foreign policy in the language of human rights and morality" (p. 191). According to Hammond, The Guardian-Observer's Ed Vulliamy once "accuse[d] the entire 'international community' of 'meddling with the truths of the war [in Bosnia-Herzegovina] to stifle intervention and foster appeasement' and of 'spreading . . . lies and distortions that would equate aggressor and victim'. . . . Western 'neutrality', he charge[d], amounted to de facto support for the Serbs" (p. 182). We believe that Ed Vulliamy's journalistic career since roughly the second-half of 1992 serves as a very good illustration of everything that is wrong with the "journalism of attachment."

10 See Prosecutor Against Dusko Tadic (IT-94-1-I), ICTY Transcript, June 7, 1996, pp. 2125-2126. In his testimony for the prosecution, Vulliamy described the nature of the Trnopolje camp that he visited on August 5, 1992 as "by this time the staging post, the transit camp, the place from which people from all sorts of different circumstances in the Prijedor region . . . were coming to for a variety of reasons. . . . Trnopolje was, if you like, the distribution point for this process, or one of them -- one of the many, I should say" (p. 2125, line 16 - p. 2126, line 5).

Originally produced by Radio Television Serbia (Belgrade), but available at YouTube in the English translation by Petar Makara, and narrated by Jared Israel, this documentary can be viewed in three parts: Judgment, Part One; Judgment, Part Two; Judgment, Part Three. We strongly recommend this documentary. In Part Two, from roughly the 4:44 minute-mark on, the physical location of the British reporters and cameraman is unmistakable: They set themselves up inside the area enclosed by the chicken-wire and barbed-wire fence which, shortly thereafter, they would incorporate into their Fikret Alic images.

There we read: "In all, 5,540 detainees were released under ICRC supervision and some 2,500 were freed without [ICRC] participation," and at the end of 1992, "2,760 people known to the ICRC remained in detention. . . ."
23 For an extended discussion of Celebici, a camp run by Bosnian Muslims in which large numbers of Serbs were beaten, raped, and killed, see Carl Savitch, "Celebici," Serbianna, undated. In his book, Seasons in Hell, Ed Vulliamy never mentions the Bosnian Muslim camp at Celebici; and as best we can tell, he has on only one occasion mentioned the camp at Celebici in his voluminous reporting for The Guardian-Observer. Here, in a long profile of the Bosnian Serb wartime President Radovan Karadzic after his arrest in Belgrade in July 2008, Vulliamy lamented how nobody talks about the massacres committed by Bosnian Serbs "at Zvornik, Vlasenica, Brcko or Bijeljina," and then he devoted six words to "the Bosnian Muslim camp at Celebici." (See "The Edge of Madness," The Guardian, July 23, 2008.) We base this on a search of the Factiva database search for everything published under Ed Vulliamy's byline on the pages of The Guardian and The Observer (i.e., rst=(grdn or ob) and ed w/2 vulliamy and celebici for all dates).
24 For full accounts of this remarkable case of demonization and media willingness to report outlandish falsehoods, see Diana Johnstone, Fools' Crusade: Yugoslavia, NATO and Western Delusions (New York: Monthly Review Press, 2002), especially "The Uses of Rape," pp. 78-90; and Brock, Media Cleansing: Dirty Reporting, especially Ch. 5, "'Only Muslim Victims . . . Only Serb Perpetrators," pp. 59-72. For a sample of Roy Gutman's work, see "Bosnia Rape Horror," Newsday, August 9, 1992; "Victims Recount Nights of Terror at Makeshift Bordello," Newsday, August 23, 1992; and "Mass Rape: Muslims Recall Serb Attacks," Newsday, August 23, 1992.

27 A search of the Factiva database for everything published under Ed Vulliamy's byline on the pages of The Guardian and The Observer reveals no record of Vulliamy ever having written about the Bosnian Muslim commander Naser Oric (i.e., rst=(grdn or ob) and ed w/2 vulliamy and oric for all dates).
28 See The Prosecutor Against Slobodan Milosevic (IT-02-54-T), ICTY Transcript, February 12, 2004, p. 31,975. At this trial, Presiding Judge Patrick Robinson asked Philippe Morillon: "Are you saying, then, General, that what happened in 1995 [after the Bosnian Serb capture of Srebrenica] was a direct reaction to what Naser Oric did to the Serbs two years before?" Morillon replied: "Yes. Yes, Your Honour. I am convinced of that" (lines 19-23).

31 See Alija Izetbegovic, Islamic Declaration:A Programme for the Islamization of Muslims and of Muslim Peoples, no translator listed, 1970, 1990, p. 30 (as posted to the website of the Balkan Repository Project). Here we add that in his book, Seasons in Hell, while carefully avoiding quoting from Izetbegovic's Islamic Declaration, Ed Vulliamy asserts the falsehood that it was "a tortured attempt to propose that the Muslim faith was compatible with modern political systems" (p. 66).
32 Franjo Tudjman's remarks derive from the so-called Brioni Transcripts of July 31, 1995; our source here is The Prosecutor Against Slobodan Milosevic (IT-02-54-T), ICTY Transcript, June 26, 2003, p. 23200. In this instance, the former U.S. Ambassador to Croatia Peter Galbraith was undergoing cross-examination by amici curiae Branislav Tapuskovic. Reading from the text of a Prosecution Exhibit that included Tudjman's words as quoted in the Brioni Transcript, Tapuskovic said: "We have the inclination of the United States if, gentlemen, you decide to engage in that attack as you did in Slavonia. . . . That is the purpose of this discussion today, to inflict such a blow on the Serbs that they should virtually disappear" (lines 1-10).

In section 3.3., "Overall Numbers" (pp. 205-207), they estimated 102,622 total war-related deaths on all sides, of which 55,261 (54%) were civilians at the time of death, and 47,360 (46%) were military or combatants (p. 207). Also see Patrick Ball et al., Bosnian Book of the Dead: Assessment of the Database, Research and Documentation Center, Sarajevo, June 2007. At the time this study was released, Ball et al. estimated 97,202 total war-related deaths, of which 57,523 were military or combatants at the time of death (59.2%), and 39,684 were civilians (40.8%).
35 A search of the Factiva database for everything published under Ed Vulliamy's byline on the pages of The Guardian and The Observer reveals no record of Vulliamy ever having mentioned the names of the five principal researchers whose work has revised the total number of deaths from the civil wars in Bosnia-Herzegovina to the 100,000 range: Ewa Tabeau, Jakub Bijak, Mirsad Tokaca, Patrick Ball, or Philip Verwimp (i.e., rst=(grdn or ob) and ed w/2 vulliamy and (tabeau or bijak or tokaca or patrick ball or verwimp) for all dates).

I'll preface this post by stating that I don't endorse Dreamhost and don't particularly care for it as a service, however, I work with several sites that are hosted there.
That being said, previously when I needed to change the maximum upload size that PHP would allow, I'd simply run the dh-phpini script and modify the ini file to match my desired upload size. The last time I tried using this, it did not work successfully so if you're having trouble with that, here's a work around. Note: the goal of this post is to change the following PHP variables in the ini file:
POST_MAX_SIZE and UPLOAD_MAX_FILESIZE
If you've got a better way, please feel free to leave a comment. Also, it's worth noting Dreamhost doesn't support (although they do allow) this type of modification and won't help you if you mess things up… I'm not responsible either
To get started, you're going to need to have access to a shell account on the server. You can set this up under 'Manage Users' from the Dreamhost panel).
Step 1:
SSH into the server like so:
ssh email@example.com
You'll possibly be prompted to verify that you would indeed like to connect to this unknown server. If you choose to accept, you'll then be prompted for your password. Go ahead and put that in.
Next, assuming your ssh account's home directory is the home directory for the account, you'll need to make a directory called '.php' and inside of that directory we want a folder named '5.3′, you can do that like this:
mkdir -p .php/5.3
This brings up an important point. For this configuration to work, you'll need to be running PHP 5.3 on that domain. You can change this under the 'Manage Domains' section of the Dreamhost panel.
Next we'll want to
cd into our newly made directory:
cd .php/5.3
Next we want to copy the "generic" or default php.ini into our new directory:
cp /etc/php53/php.ini $HOME/.php/5.3/php.ini
We'll use the nano text editor to edit the file:
nano php.ini
Next, you'll want to find the
POST_MAX_SIZE and
UPLOAD_MAX_FILESIZE and edit those values.
Now Press Control + X and Save.
We now need to restart PHP:
killall -9 php53.cgi
If all went as planned, your max upload size should now be changed.

May-Treanor, Walsh Get Record-Breaking Victory

E-Mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (June 14, 2008) - Reigning Olympic champions Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh set a record for team gold-medal finishes on the SWATCH FIVB World Tour on Saturday as the U.S. beach volleyball tandem defeated Jia Tian and Jie Wang of China for the US$600,000 smart Grand Slam title in Berlin, Germany.
Played before more than 5,000 fans in front of the German capital's main train station at the Washingtonplatz, the top-seeded May-Treanor (Costa Mesa, Calif.) and Walsh (Santa Clara, Calif.) posted a 21-18, 22-20 win in 45 minutes over the seventh-seeded Chinese pair to share the $43,500 first-place prize. Tian and Wang split $29,500 for second-place.
In the bronze medal match, second-seeded Juliana Felisberta Silva and Larissa Franca of Brazil scored a 21-11, 22-20 win in 41 minutes over eighth-seeded Jen Boss (San Juan Capistrano, Calif.) and April Ross (Costa Mesa, Calif.) to split the $23,000 third-place prize. Boss and Ross, who were defeated 21-16, 16-21, 15-12 win in 46 minutes by Tian and Wang in Saturday's semifinal, shared $18,400 for fourth place.
In winning for the seventh-straight time on the SWATCH FIVB World Tour, May-Treanor and Walsh increased their career international gold-medal count to 32. May-Treanor and Walsh had been tied with the legendary Brazilian tandems of Emanuel Rego/Ricardo Santos (men) and Adriana Behar/Shelda Bede (women) with 31 SWATCH medals entering this week's smart Grand Slam.
"We are so glad to be in the same company with those two great teams," Walsh said. "Records are made to be broken. But for today, Misty and I can claim to be on top of list. It has taken a lot of hard work over years and I am very lucky to have a great partner. We'll celebrate tonight, but it is back to work for next week's grand slam event in Paris."
May-Treanor, who was named the SWATCH most outstanding player for the 12th annual smart Grand Slam, also won a women's record 35th SWATCH FIVB World Tour gold medal as she had captured three titles with Holly McPeak (Manhattan Beach, Calif.) in 2000, including a stop in Berlin. Walsh earned her 34th FIVB title as she claimed two gold medals with Rachel Wacholder (Laguna Beach, Calif.) when May-Treanor was sidelined with injuries in 2004
The U.S. men's beach volleyball team of Phil Dalhausser (Ormond Beach, Fla.) and Todd Rogers (Santa Barbara, Calif.) took a pair of victories on Saturday to advance to Sunday's semifinal at the smart Grand Slam event in Berlin.
The top-ranked Dalhausser and Rogers will face Spain's 17th-seeded Pablo Herrera and Raul Mesa to try to reach Sunday's gold-medal match.
The teams in the other men's semifinal were still being determined on Saturday.
The U.S. team of Jake Gibb (Bountiful, Utah) and Sean Rosenthal (Redondo Beach, Calif.), seeded sixth, lost in the second round to Herrera and Mesa (21-13, 17-21, 18-20). The team of Matt Fuerbringer (Costa Mesa, Calif.) and Casey Jennings (Las Vegas, Calif.), ranked 10th, fell in the second round to Germany's 14th-seeded Jonas Reckermann and Micsha Urbatzka (21-23, 21-19, 10-15).
There is more information on the FIVB beach volleyball site at www.fivb.org/EN/BeachVolleyball/index.asp.

Tasting #2 now and it's my favorite so far. Wholesome and full in flavor, but leaves my mouth a little bit dry. But hey, that's why there is a #1.
I also had two sessions with #3 and it was my least favorite of the bunch. There was a flavor gap in the middle and back of the tongue that made the tea taste and feel very empty.

Topic: Rails-alikes
Does anybody use a Rails-clone framework written in another language, such as CakePHP? Do you also use Rails? Did you like it or did it come off as a cheap copy?
I'm thinking of trying a project or two out in Grails for work. I'd love to do Rails stuff at work, but we're heavily entrenched in Java on Windows servers, and that's not changing any time soon. From what I've seen they've taken a few good things about Rails like ORM, but added their own twist on things, such as tag libraries for presentation which are more reminiscent of JSP. I'm mainly interested in seeing how it stacks up against the current JSP/servlet model of development that I've been using at work for the last couple of years; I'm hoping it will allow me to cut project time down instead of constantly going through the build/compile/test rigmarole.

Paul Tibbets IV to remember his grandfather, share experiences of his own Air Force career April 10 at Bradbury Science Museum
LOS ALAMOS, N. M., April 3, 2013—Col. Paul Tibbets IV, grandson of Enola Gay pilot Paul W. Tibbets Jr., talks about his grandfather and his experiences as a U.S. Air Force pilot flying B-1 and B-2 bombers during a talk at 5:30 p.m., April 10 at Los Alamos National Laboratory's Bradbury Science Museum. The talk is part of Los Alamos' 70th anniversary lecture series.

"Chinese poetry, as we know it today, is something invented by Ezra Pound." - T. S. Eliot
[Ezra Pound] worked on and for poetry as others might work on a major scientific discovery or a drawn-out military mission. Thus, as Sieburth reminds us in his introduction to The Pisan Cantos, when, on May 3, 1945, Pound was arrested at his home in the hills above Rapallo, he immediately put a small Chinese dictionary and a copy of the Confucian classics in his pocket. Working as he then was on his Confucian translations, he knew that, wherever the military police were taking him, he would need these books.From Pound Ascendant by Marjorie Perloff. Ezra Pound's ability as a translator of Chinese poetry has long been disparaged by sinologists, such as George A. Kennedy in Fenollosa, Pound and the Chinese Character. Other academics have sought to defend him. Two examples are Zhaoming Qian's Ezra Pound's encounter with Wang Wei: toward the "ideogrammic method" of the Cantos and Stephen Tapscott's In Praise of Bad Translations: Ezra Pound and the Cultural Work of Translation (pdf). Eric Hayot draws the contours of this long-running debate and explores its significance in Critical Dreams: Orientalism, Modernism, and the Meaning of Pound's China. Pound's Cathay in full and a public domain audiobook version (iTunes link).
