Argh, she fell on the throw sal. Spins are really out of sync.
Landed the SBS Sal, and good twist.
Should be around 57.

Not their best. The sbs triple salchows were good but she fell on the throw triple salchow and they messed up on the sbs spin. Pity. Some iffy moments.
1st place
looks like Canadian sweep indeed
Wow, I'm so off.
sad about China's Pairs, hope Sui/Han can recover soon
P/T are old timers and it will be not good to rely on them until the Olympics

D/R landed the SBS lutz (need to check rotation)
throw isn't very high.
their death spiral entrance strangely reminds me of T/T, but in a cruder way. same coach, i think.
wait there are only 7 pairs competing ?
D/R made a case for bronze at W this year.
Lawrence & Swiegers.
Not a good day for them.
Last place at the moment
no Canadian sweep
C/S still have a chance at bronze
Moore-Towers & Moscovitch
Good clean program
Loved M-T/M's program, it was amazing, I would have given the best mark on Choreography!
I might be in minority but while I appreciate to see side by side jumps other than 3S or 3T, I hate D/R side by side 3Lz, they are far apart and her's always looks short on rotation. It's a bit annoying that the judges usually overlook this aspect. If she landed that lutz in singles she would most likely be hit with Ur or even Dg. Still, a very ambitious program, very difficult and full of transitions.

I mentioned Beth Revis' Across the Universe trilogy as one of my favorite books of 2012, though I only reviewed the first two so far. The final book in the trilogy, Shades of Earth, is out this week (Tuesday, January 15), and I got an early peek at it. It's a great conclusion to the story, and even if you're not a big fan of the romance portion (which seems to be a requisite for young adult fiction), the sci-fi part of the story is worth checking out.
Now, for those of you who haven't read the first two books yet, you may want to stop here. Instead, go back and read my mostly spoiler-free review of those. For the rest of you, this review will contain spoilers for the first two books, and a few for the third book but I'll try to keep those to a minimum.

Avoid the 7 Pitfalls of Private Brand (Specialty) Coffee Launches
An exec at a large retailer recently confessed to me: "Coffee: It's like the more I learn, the less I know." Exactly.

We're not selling paper towels here! Coffee is the most affordable indulgence in the store. And it's also a tremendously complex product category wherein more and more consumers require more and more information. Recognize it and realize the passion! Not doing so is Pitfall #1. Read more »

Private Brand Coffee: The Perfect Storm
Today's economy has helped create a shift in how Americans buy coffee. Now is the time for retailers to develop and elevate, their private brand offerings. We call it the perfect storm.
Coffee Wars
The increase in specialty coffee consumption (I lump together Premium and Specialty coffee – to be explained another time.) is fueled in part by increased demand. It's simple. McCafe, Starbucks and Dunkin', since January, have poured upwards of $200 million into national advertising to promote coffee and espresso drinks – referred to as the "coffee wars." That means more American shoppers are thinking about good coffee – as in Arabica coffee. Not necessarily specialty coffee (McCafe and Dunkin do not make the grade), but coffee none-the-less. Read on.

Close "Gitmo"…then what? The Law and Public Opinion. UPDATE: Obama Administration to try another Detainee in US federal court.
posted at 11:33 am on July 24, 2009 by coldwarrior
With a lot of fanfare, President Obama signed an Executive Order on his first day in Office to close the detention facilities at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Station. [Full text can be found here.]
Another case of playing to public opinion instead of heeding the rule of law?
One can easily write a tome as to the assumptions contained within that Executive Order and the mangling of terminology from Geneva and mixing Prisoner of War status with that of armed bandits, brigands, saboteurs and terrorists, but for now, I'll refrain.
Now, we hear the latest idea from the Obama Administration…let's move them to SuperMax, just south of Fort Carson. That'll solve the problem.
Or will it?
Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), a Senior Member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, sponsored an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2010 which would have prohibited the transfer of detainees from Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba to any facility in the United States. The Democrat-controlled Congress blocked Inhofe's amendment.
But, why is an amendment to a defense bill or any bill even necessary? Amid all the chatter and noise over the past eight years, and all sorts of pundits making suggestions about Gitmo and the alleged illegality of Gitmo…and the call to bring the detainees to US courts for adjudication…seems that a proper interpretation of law, and the Constitution, by the US Supreme Court nearly 60 years ago has already addressed the problem…in detail.
Yet, ask just about any pundit, or even international law attorney, let alone members of Congress or even the present White House and most will glaze over if you mention Johnson v. Eisentrager. Most have never heard of it. Most of the chattering masses certainly not only never heard of it they have no idea at all what it establishes and prevents.
A summary of Johnson v. Eisentrager can be found here.
This seemingly obscure Supreme Court ruling, addressed in clear language, is why Guantanamo Bay was chosen by the Bush Administration as a facility to house non-state enemy combatants picked up on battlefields across the globe as we went to war against Islamist jihadi terrorist groups…specifically al-Qaeda.
In its ruling, per Johnson v. Eisentrager, the US Supreme Court held:
A nonresident enemy alien has no access to our courts in wartime.
The USSC stated, in its ruling, " Our law does not abolish inherent distinctions recognized throughout the civilized world between citizens and aliens, nor between aliens of friendly and enemy allegiance, nor between resident enemy aliens who have submitted themselves to our laws and nonresident enemy aliens who at all times have remained with, and adhered to, enemy governments."
Further, "In extending certain constitutional protections to resident aliens, this Court has been careful to point out that it was the aliens' presence within its territorial jurisdiction that gave the Judiciary power to act.
And, "Executive power over enemy aliens, undelayed and unhampered by litigation, has been deemed, throughout our history, essential to wartime security.
(The Court noted, "A resident enemy alien is constitutionally subject to summary arrest, internment, and deportation whenever a "declared war" exists. Courts will entertain his plea for freedom from executive custody only to ascertain the existence of a state of war and whether he is an alien enemy. Once these jurisdictional facts have been determined, courts will not inquire into any other issue as to his internment.
Lastly, "A nonresident enemy alien, especially one who has remained in the service of the enemy, does not have even this qualified access to our courts."
And applicable to the current situation, and something that simply must be broadcast and highlighted,
"Nonresident enemy aliens, captured and imprisoned abroad, have no right to a writ of habeas corpus in a court of the United States."
And buried within the Supreme Court ruling, "It is not the function of the Judiciary to entertain private litigation — even by a citizen — which challenges the legality, wisdom, or propriety of the Commander in Chief in sending our armed forces abroad or to any particular region."
It should be noted, and emphasized, that no "Gitmo" detainee was arrested on US soil for terrorist acts committed on US soil. Those jihadis who committed terrorist acts on US soil or were found guilty of terrorism or support for terrorism within the United States are held in US federal prisons or US military brigs, and are given full judicial rights as would any American citizen or US person apprehended for crimes within the United States.
Now…let's talk about this idea of sending Gitmo detainees to Supermax. [The United States Penitentiary Administrative Maximum Facility (AMX), Florence, Colorado.]
In the world of criminal prosecution and defense of those accused, there is a long standing maxim, nullum crimen sine lege, nulla poena sine lege. ("no crime without law, no punishment without law")
Under what law will these detainees be placed in SuperMax? What laws of the United States have they violated? If they have violated no US law, then how can the federal government place them in a federal prison facility within the United States?
Also conveniently forgotten by most, is to get to SuperMax, the detainees will have to set foot on US soil. [They will at that point become landed immigrants.]
Under our Constitutional rule of law, once any person, detainee or tourist, shipwrecked soul or terrorist, sets foot on US soil, thus is a landed immigrant…they are afforded all the Constitutional protections enjoyed by all US citizens and US persons under law.
But what if we just ignore that landed immigrant thing?
Sending the detainees to SuperMax will establish that the US government can and will incarcerate persons on US soil for crimes not enumerated, nor charged through due process of law, and punish them, suspending habeas corpus, and a lot of other minors points of law that if allowed to be ignored will be a clear and present danger to all US citizens and US persons. A new Pandora's Box will be opened. Trying to close it will not be an easy task. Legal precedent is like that.
How about we just toss aside Johnson v. Eisentrager? Let's extend the jurisdiction of the US judiciary to any spot on earth…anywhere the judiciary feels it can. Or worse, let's allow Congress to pass a law that states our courts have jurisdiction outside the United States. We mean well, what could possibly go wrong?
Well, reciprocity in law, customs and courtesies is the foundation of so-called "international law."
If our judiciary can extend US Court jurisdiction to any place on earth…why cannot Germany or Zimbabwe or China do the same? Armed court officers of any nation on earth coming to the United States or to any other country and arresting US citizens for crimes they "committed" under Chinese law in Brazil, or Norway, or Burkino Faso? Or the mullahs of Iran heading over to Germany and arresting US service members for "crimes" that Shariah law finds repugnant? Or Spain attempting to indict, arrest and incarcerate US government officials? Like that will never happen? Ever?
And what will happen to the concept of national sovereignty?
Guantanamo Bay Naval Station was chosen by the Bush Administration because the Bush Administration actually took a look at our law, our Constitution, and US Supreme Court rulings, and that matter of sovereignty and jurisdiction.
The Cuban-American Treaty, was signed on February 17, 1903 by the first President of Cuba, Thomas Estrada Palma. In accordance with that treaty, the Republic of Cuba granted a perpetual lease to the United States for the Guantanamo Bay area for the purpose of a coaling and naval station. Under the treaty, the United States will have absolute jurisdiction and will recognize the Republic of Cuba's ultimate sovereignty over the area.
Over the decades, US military personnel and US civilian contractors and dependents of US military personnel were subject to US law. Non-US persons residing or working in the Guantanamo Bay Naval Station were subject to Cuban law.
Then, in 1959, a couple of guys came down from the mountains and overthrew the Batista regime…the Cuban government, and established their own government, originally led by Fidel Castro, still operating under Raul Castro. Since the early 1960's Cuban workers were no longer permitted by the Castro government to enter the Guantanamo Bay Naval Station.
The US government has not recognized the Cuban Castro government. But we still recognize all treaty obligations established with Cuba prior to Castro seizing power. Every year, through the good offices of the Swiss Embassy in Havana, the US sends a lease payment check to Cuba, as required by our treaty obligations. Since 1959, Cuba has refused to cash any of these checks. To do so would recognize US control over Guantanamo. Castro refuses to do so. Having a "foreign colony" on Cuban soil being recognized by Castro's Cuba is anathema to the Revolutionary Principles.
The Bush Administration took advantage of Castro…and why not?
Under treaty agreements, the detainees in a pre-Castro Cuba would have been subject to Cuban courts…since they are not US-military personnel. Thus, it is the refusal of Castro's Cuba to adhere to treaty obligations that enabled Guantanamo Bay to be used to build detention facilities for non-state armed enemy combatants captured by the US military and our intelligence agencies in time of war.
Yes, all of this is lengthy and cumbersome, but in order to get to the roots of why "Gitmo" was selected and why we cannot just bring the detainees to Supermax or any other facility on US soil, one really has to understand the basics. Most pundits do not. Most commenters who over the years have suggested that the detainees be sent to Nancy Pelosi's neighborhood, or sent to Obama's neighborhood, or to Alcatraz, or to Death Valley or the frozen wastes of Alaska, or the backwoods of Idaho…wherever…seem to be willing to ignore law, and the Constitution, or have no understanding as to why "Gitmo" was selected in the first place.
Before the Obama Adminsitration is permitted to turn flights of fancy into US law, through an ill-founded Executive Order…and set precedents across a wide range of legal issues and matters of sovereignty and even our own Constitution, perhaps it would be a wiser choice to actually engage the issue with facts, the rule of law, and the Constitution, and stop pandering to whomever has the loudest cheering section in the realm of American of public opinion, opinion that for the most part has no basis in law.
UPDATE: According to Foxnews Friday aftgernoon, the Obama Administration has selected another Gitmo detainee to be tried in US federal court.
Federal prosecutors told a court Friday they no longer plan to hold Mohammed Jawad, an Afghan, as a wartime prisoner.
Instead, they wrote in a court filing, they plan to begin a criminal investigation. That would most likely mean bringing him to criminal trial in the United States.
Even if that happens, Jawad is not likely to be transferred soon. For the time being, prosecutors say, he will remain at a camp in Guantanamo, while an "expedited" criminal investigation is conducted.
So far, the only Guantanamo detainee brought to face trial in a U.S. criminal court is Ahmed Ghailani, a Tanzanian who was sent to New York in June to face charges he helped orchestrate two bomb attacks on U.S. embassies in Africa in 1998. Rather than try Ghilani in Tanzania, where all the others involved in the bombings have been tried…we've extended US legal jurisdiction to Tanzania.
In reading the Foxnews report, one has to look carefully at the language and semantics.
Jawad has been detained at the U.S. naval prison in Cuba for 6 1/2 years, after he was accused of tossing a grenade at a jeep in Afghanistan that wounded two U.S. soldiers and their interpreter.
Earlier this month, the Justice Department earlier agreed not to use his confession after his lawyers argued the statements were the result of torture by Afghan authorities.
Jawad's attorneys say he was only about 12 years old at the time, although there aren't records of his birth in a refugee camp in Pakistan. The Pentagon says a bone scan shows Jawad was older, about 17, when he was arrested.
In October, a military judge threw out a confession made by Jawad following his arrest. The judge found that Jawad initially denied throwing the grenade and only admitted it after Afghan authorities threatened to kill him and his family if he didn't confess.
The military tribunals at Guantanamo Bay allow evidence obtained through coercion but not torture, leaving it to a judge to decide whether the line between coercion and torture has been crossed. In Jawad's case, the judge found the threats made by the Afghans were torture. Jawad is now suing for his release in U.S. District Court in Washington.
Afghan officials turned Jawad over to U.S. custody shortly after he confessed. He was questioned by U.S. officials overnight. The military judge also said Jawad's statements during that interrogation couldn't be used because they were tainted by the torture at the hands of the Afghans just a few hours earlier.
Jawad will walk away a free man.
There is no evidence that has been under custody of the US prosecutors to support the allegation of his being a terrorist…and seemingly little information that he was indeed tortured by the Afghans…though we are still attemtping to re-write Webster's on the meaning of torture.
That Jawad has been afforded the "right" to sue in federal court…this already demonstrates that there are those in government making it up as they go along, to include within the federal judiciary. jawad has no standing in federal court for acts allegedly committted to him by Afghans in Afghanistan. That is a matter for Aghan courts. The door has been opened a bit further…jurisdiction and the rule of law is being pushed quietly aside in order for Obama to make political gain.
Even the use of the term "war prisoner" instead of "nonresident enemy alien" further clouds not only jurisdictional matters but may open the way for all the Gitmo detainees to be granted Prisoner of War status, in clear violation of the Geneva Convention.
In our unilateral dismissal of provisions of Geneva we signed, as did dozens of other nations after the Second World War, are brigands, bandits, saboteurs and terrorists now considered soldiers with full Geneva guarantees?
if so…then how can a "war prisoner" or POW be tried in a civil or criminal court for acts committed on the battlefield prior to capture?
Pandora's Box is opening more and more each day. With Geneva gutted, what then?
Can Spain now round up US service members from Rota or Morón Air Base and try them in Spanish civilian federal courts for alleged war crimes if they served so much as a mess hall server in Iraq or Afghanistan? Will China find it conveneient top round up US personnel on leave or liberty in Hong Kong and try them in Chinese civilian courts? Or can we look forward to the day when actual POW's are tried for crimes by whatever government chooses to do so in direct violation of the Geneva Conventions?
And, will US military personnel decide that a dead jihadi is the only option permitted them under the new rules. If you can't speak Pastun, then how can you Mirandize a captee? A dead captee can't be Mirandized. So…will we look foraward to US military personnel being tried en masse for murder for firing their weapons on a battlefield? Will enemy combatants be offered more legal protections than our own military personnel…by our own judicial system?
And lastly, has war fighting now officially become nothing more than an extension of law enforcement run out of the Department of Justice?

|You Can Play president Patrick Burke on D&C: Rumor of Canadiens player coming out 'total nonsense'
|03.06.13 at 11:58 am ET
Flyers scout Patrick Burke, president of the social activist group You Can Play, joined Dennis & Callahan on Wednesday morning to talk about the rumor that a Canadiens player was preparing to announce publicly that he's gay.
"It's total nonsense," Burke said. "It's completely fabricated. There's no truth to this rumor. It was created by an anonymous Twitter account. It was then picked up by a couple of the less-reliable, let's say, gay blogs. And it's now being repeated in mainstream media.
"Josh Gorges is the rumored player, according to this Twitter account. Josh is recently engaged to a lovely woman. I've spoken with the Canadiens about this. It's very confusing to them. Obviously they're supportive if they did have a gay player, and Josh is supportive of any potentially gay teammates. But it's not him."
Burke started You Can Play two years after the death of his brother, Brendan Burke, in a car accident in 2010. Brendan was an openly gay student manager for the Miami (Ohio) University hockey team and spoke out against homophobia in sports. The brothers are the sons of former Maple Leafs general manager Brian Burke.
Burke predicted a player will come out sometime in the near future.
"I think the next 12-18 months," he said. "I think there's a chance it could happen sometime this offseason or next offseason. I think we're very, very close here, and within the next year-and-a-half or so it will happen."
Added Burke: "I just think we're ready. The players who have done videos for us — for the Bruins it's Zdeno Chara, it's Shawn Thornton, it's Andrew Ference — the leaders in the league are stepping up and saying that we're ready for this. The Bruins were recently awarded an award from MassEquality. At the acceptance speech they said, 'The Boston Bruins are ready for a gay player, we will accept a gay player, we will welcome a gay player as long as he's good enough to help us win.' That's something that's echoed around the league by players, by management, by coaches. As long as a guy's good enough to help a team win, who cares?"
Burke also said there are players whose homosexuality is known to some teammates.
"There are players who are out to members of their team," Burke said. "Members of the team know that he's a gay player; doesn't have an effect on the way they treat him. So, when the first player does do this publicly, his teammates will be ready for it."

Naomi Nason Skoler, Lesley '63, and her family have been active members of the Lesley community for five decades.
Giving back to Lesley comes naturally to Naomi Nason Skoler LC'63. She has been actively involved with her alma mater for five decades; her husband, Moe Skoler, serves as a Trustee; and her daughter-in-law, Jennifer, is a 2005 graduate of the School of the Education.
As a Lesley College graduate, Alumni Council member, Corporator, Alumni Trustee, and member of the University's Centennial Steering Committee, Naomi was in the driver's seat to help steer the course of Lesley and see the University develop new programs and grow exponentially. She and Moe credit the leadership of President Moore and the vision of President McKenna with so many of Lesley's extraordinary accomplishments, and they are delighted that a Lesley education today retains the "intimate, caring feeling" that was so prevalent when Naomi was an undergraduate.
Through her life-long involvement with Lesley her goal has always been the same – to help ensure that future generations of Lesley students have access to the same quality education that she experienced and that changed her life. Naomi and Moe are passionate about education and feel it is their responsibility to help students achieve their educational goals. The Skoler Family Scholarship is awarded to one or two entering students at Lesley with an interest in teaching who continue to receive the scholarship annually until they graduate.
Lesley sophomore Annie Lopresti is grateful for the Skolers' generosity and how they keep in touch with her to hear about her progress during the school year. A former Skoler Scholar, Beth Harrington '07 says "they helped me tremendously throughout my time at Lesley. On a personal level, both Naomi and Moe were very supportive when I wasn't sure which direction I wanted my life to go in. They mentored me and helped me realize that education is an important field and one where I too can give back to the community."
Naomi looks back on her college years as a wonderful experience that shaped who she is today. When asked about her dedication to her alma mater she explains, "I sincerely believe that I have received more than I have given." "Lesley College's nurturing environment well prepared me for my long and rewarding career as a public school teacher." "I am grateful for the friendships that I have made in the Lesley community, both with those who volunteer and those who work at the University."
Thanks to her Lesley education, Naomi taught in elementary and middle schools for 35 years, mostly in the Boston Public Schools. She recalls fondly the challenges and rewards of teaching and making a positive impact on her students' lives. Naomi is proud that her daughter-in-law, Jennifer, is also a Lesley graduate of the School of Education who has also taught in the Boston Public Schools. She describes her as a "fabulous" classroom teacher and explains that when she first heard her son, Michael, was dating a Lesley graduate student, she knew she would be a "keeper!" Jennifer is now focusing on raising her two children. In speaking about her Lesley education she says, "I am very grateful for my time at Lesley which has given me so much professionally and personally. I credit Lesley with providing me with a strong foundation in education and opening doors to allow me to apply what I have learned."
When it came time for Naomi to retire from teaching in 2005, she shortly realized that there was no substitute for this important work. She came back to Lesley and was offered an adjunct faculty position as a teacher supervisor, and since then she has been working with several students each semester. She currently supervises six graduate students and three undergraduates, meeting with them regularly and travelling to their classrooms to observe their teaching skills first-hand. Naomi says, with a glint in her eye, that no matter where the school or what condition it is in, "it's incredible, when I walk through the door of a school I feel like I'm home."
Naomi and Moe Skoler have been giving back to Lesley in appreciation for the education she received for nearly 50 years. "From the day I accompanied Naomi to a presentation by a panel of Lesley students many years ago, I realized how special a place this university is," recalls Moe Skoler. "Now, as I begin my second term on the Board of Trustees I know first-hand the impact of Lesley's mission as it provides a vibrant academic community and as it prepares its students to join the work force and to make a difference in the world." Naomi adds, "As Winston Churchill once said, "We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give."
In addition to their leadership as members of the governing board, active volunteers and generous scholarship benefactors, Naomi and Moe have been members of the Edith Lesley Wolfard Society planned giving program since it was inaugurated in 1998. They encourage all alumni to get involved and be as generous as possible, either through a planned gift, a scholarship gift, or an unrestricted gift to the Annual Fund. They explain that "not everyone can contribute at the same level, but all alumni can make a difference at Lesley by making an Annual Fund gift, no matter what amount. Every dollar given to Lesley makes a difference in students' lives, and that's why every graduate should consider giving back."
Lesley's Vice President for Advancement, Dr. Colm Renehan SOM'92, commented that "it is a great pleasure to work with volunteers and donors like Naomi and her husband, Moe. The entire University community joins me in thanking them for their leadership support."Fall 2010

The crow does not hide its prey, but calls for others to share it;
so wealth will be with those of a like disposition.--Tiruvalluvar, 5th century A.D.
In my morning drive to work I occasionally spot a crow picking at something on the road. As my car approaches the bird, it doesn't fly off in a panic or take to the trees; instead it calmly hops to the shoulder of the road or to the other side of the double yellow line. It's a measured response; one gets the impression the crow knows that automobiles tend to stay within these boundaries. That kind of cool intelligence is also evident in a crow's interactions with other members of its species.
Behavioral biologist Renee Robinette Ha and her colleagues at the University of Washington have been studying the subtleties of how crows steal food from one another (Bird Behavior 15:65, 2003). Ha had been watching the birds at the beach along Puget Sound as they fed on fish, clams and other small animals in the intertidal zone. She noticed that if a crow had found a particularly large meal that couldn't be eaten in a single gulp, another crow would often come by and try to steal the food away. Food theft is fairly common in the avian world, so the crows' thievery wasn't unexpected. What really intrigued Ha was that the birds employed two different tactics to take the food.
In some instances the thieving bird would take an aggressive approach—typically involving some chasing or physical contact, such as pecking. In other exchanges, however, the thief would use a more passive method: merely sidling up to the other bird and pinching the food without any commotion at all. How did these tactics fit into the group foraging practices of the crows?
Ha and her colleagues decided to investigate whether social relations such as dominance or kinship played any role. They briefly restrained 55 crows, drew blood to take DNA samples, and marked each with identifying leg bands. Over the course of 30 months, they observed nearly 3,000 instances of group foraging and 390 attempts to steal food.
When they analyzed all of the data, Ha and her colleagues found some complex social interactions. For one thing, the crows seemed to have preferred social companions: Certain birds regularly foraged with each other, even if they weren't genetically related. Moreover, the relative social positions of the birds had little to do with the stealing tactics they employed—the dominance of males over females, or of adults over juveniles, wasn't a factor. What did become clear was that the crows discriminated between their relatives and others when it came to filching their food.
Although the birds would steal from kith and kin alike, closely related birds tended to be more cordial to each other. Relatives were inclined to use the passive method of stealing food, whereas aggressive thefts usually occurred when the two birds were more distantly related. The kindness shown to a relative attempting to steal food suggests to Ha and her colleagues that the discerning crows are gaining indirect benefits in evolutionary fitness. As Ha explains, "[W]e put up with more from our relatives than we might from our nonrelatives, because they share more genes in common with us than strangers."
The results also have implications for behavioral ecologists, who have suggested that animals forage in groups so that some can be on the lookout for predators. But Ha and her colleagues question whether the "vigilant" birds might actually be scanning the horizon to see whether another bird has found food worth stealing. Crows may indeed be inclined to share their food, but they're also pretty quick to take it from one another if they get the chance. The next time you see a crow on the road, you might think twice before you decide you know what's on its mind.—Michael Szpir

"We call it the penguin rodeo," says Jean Pennycook. It's only a 20-minute helicopter ride away from McMurdo Station, but the place we are flying to, Cape Royds, is also a doorway into two other worlds. The first is the world of penguins. The second is the historic world of the first explorers to Antarctica.
There are eight of us flying above the snow and ice and rocky peaks. The volcano Mt. Erebus looms above us. Our crew consists of the penguin research team, which includes Pennycook, Scott Jennings, and Annie Schmidt. There is Peter West of the National Science Foundation (NSF), teacher and NSF Einstein Fellow Lynn Reed and myself. And there is also helicopter pilot Keith Cox, crew member Taylor Smith, and mechanic Seth McCallister.
When we reach Cape Royds, we all climb out, and head down the rocky hill to where the penguins nest. As we walk, we all marvel at the beautiful landscape, the ice, the water, and most of all the penguins.
Banding Penguins
The purpose of our trip is to band penguin chicks. This means we will put a small metal band with an identifying number on the chick's left wing. We will then weigh the chick and measure the length of its wing. Being able to identify individual chicks will help researchers answer important questions. Why does the size of penguin colonies vary so much? Why would one colony have 4,000 breeding pairs of penguins, when nearby colonies have 36,000 and 130,000 pairs? What are the benefits to the penguins of living in a small or large colony?
We use low movable fences to quietly corral, or surround, a group of penguin chicks. The chicks are about a month old and still stay pretty close to the nests in which they hatched. Pennycook invites everyone to help out, including the helicopter crew, explaining to us how to make sure we don't hurt the penguins. Pennycook loves to share her excitement about all things penguin! We get started around 8:00 pm (remember it's light 24 hours a day here this time of year). For more than three hours we carefully move the corral and gently band, measure, and weigh fuzzy gray penguin chicks.
After we are done banding, Pennycook collects samples of penguin waste she will later analyze. She is looking for the tiny disk-shaped earbones (called otoliths) of the fish the penguins eat. A penguin's diet is a combination of krill, the tiny shrimp-like crustacean that is food for so many other animals in the Antarctic, particularly whales. Sometimes penguins eat mostly fish and sometimes they eat mostly krill. It was a puzzle, says Pennycook. Why would they change their diet? It turns out that penguins eat mostly fish when groups of Minke whales are feeding on krill in the same area. Those whales don't eat penguins, but penguins still like to give them plenty of room!
It is the last day of Pennycook's field season and so she also lowers the flag that flies above the camp. Pennycook invites classrooms to send her homemade flags that she flies over the camp and then returns to the class. She also posts photos and stories each day during the research season that students can read at the penguin science website.
Early Explorers
It was after midnight when we finished banding the chicks. But the evening was beautiful and we weren't ready to go home yet. We all visited the nearby historic hut of the British explorer Ernest Shackleton, who first explored Cape Royds in 1908. The hut has very carefully restored with the help of the Antarctic Heritage Trust. Pennycook has seen the hut many times, but says "it still takes my breath away." In the hut you can see socks hanging out to dry, shoes by the stove, clothes laid out on the bed, and cans of food neatly lined up on pantry shelves.
After we are done, we board the helicopter. But we still aren't quite ready to go home. We have one more stop, at Cape Evans, the home of another historic hut. This hut, built in 1911, was from the expedition of Robert Falcon Scott, the British explorer who made it to the South Pole in January, 1912, just a month after the Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen reached it first. Scott's hut at Cape Evans was larger than Shackelton's and even had a stable for the Siberian ponies that he brought on the expedition.
We fly from Cape Evans and get back to the helicopter pad at McMurdo at 2 a.m. It is definitely late! But everyone agrees that it has been an extraordinary journey into the world of penguins as well as the heroic age of early Antarctic explorers.

Weiner: Let's move on, shall we?
posted at 2:18 pm on May 31, 2011 by Ed Morrissey
Rep. Anthony Weiner gets a skeptical reception from reporters after he suggests that he will move on from the so-called "Weinergate" story that erupted over the weekend. In this clip from CNN, Weiner says the story will go away on its own, to which one reporter responds that the story would go away more quickly if Weiner would answer some of the questions — such as whether he's pressing for an investigation, whether this was a "hack" or a "prank," and so forth. Weiner tells the reporters that he's not convinced answering questions will do much good, a response that they clearly don't accept:
Allahpundit has been linking the most prominent "Weinergate" stories in the headlines, but neither of us have had anything to say about the story until now. For my part — I won't speak for AP — the explanation could have gone either way, and I had no opinion on which I thought it might be. Considering that the picture didn't contain any identifying attributes, nothing about it suggested that it depicted Rep. Weiner at all, except for it being on his Twitter thread. I wanted to wait for a response from Weiner, and given the fact that this happened over a holiday weekend, I kept an open mind about the possibilities.
Weiner's response seems odd under the circumstances. It might be that Weiner is still telling the truth and just believes this will blow over with the "hacking" explanation and a stonewall strategy from him, but if so, it's not a safe bet that it will work. The mainstream press seems to be getting pretty curious about Weiner's Twitter habits, and that may or may not go away with a lack of response from Weiner. One would expect some pretty emphatic denials from a wronged politician, including a demand to track down the culprits of a political dirty trick. A "let's move along, nothing to see here" attitude at least suggests that Weiner isn't terribly anxious for an investigation, which raises questions of its own.
I've been following the story at Ace's place this weekend, and I'd recommend readers continue to follow the course of the story there (as well as Big Journalism, which reported it first, and our friends at Verum Serum). I'm still not convinced much of any particular explanation, but Weiner's response raises a lot more questions than it doesn't answer.

Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program Guidance from HHS
On March 23, 2010, President Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (also known as the Affordable Care Act or ACA) which included, among other critical provisions, $1.5 billion in mandatory funding over 5 years for high quality, evidence-based, voluntary early childhood home visitation services. This investment will significantly expand home visitation services, helping to ensure that more children have the opportunity to grow up healthy, safe, ready to learn, and able to become productive members of society.
The Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program has made grants available to States, Tribes, to deliver voluntary home visitation services to eligible families to promote a range of positive outcomes for children and families, including improvements in maternal and prenatal health, infant health, child health and development, parenting related to child development outcomes, school readiness, and families' socioeconomic status, and reductions in child abuse, neglect and injuries. By selecting an array of service delivery models that, together, have demonstrated positive outcomes in benchmark areas and participant outcomes specified in the law, eligible entities will help improve outcomes and opportunities for vulnerable children and families.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Public Law 111-148) creates the Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Home Visiting program under Subtitle L of the ACA titled Maternal and Child Health Services.
The Department of Health and Human Services, through both the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) and The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), has provided guidance to states and tribes to help them conduct required needs assessments, select effective home visiting models, plan for and begin coordinating those home visiting programs into a comprehensive early childhood system of services and supports, plan for an begin collecting required data and otherwise successfully implementing the MIECHV program. The guidance issued as of March 25, 2011 is set forth below.

News: Using the GNU Arch version control system for your project
[125 news in archive]
Article: Using the GNU Arch version control system for your project
Item posted by Jérôme Marant <jerome> on Sat Mar 6 18:35:46 2004.
How do I use GNU Arch for my project?
(We assume that you already used your download area, that everything worked
well. If it is not the case, please read the related FAQ entries first)
There is currently more than one way to work with GNU arch: the decentralized
way and the centralized way.
- Setting up a public archive mirror (decentralized way)
The most common way of using arch is the decentralized way: the developer
works with his local archive and publishes it on a regular basis.
Let's assume firstname.lastname@example.com is your local archive, where
'project' is your project name.
Firstly, setup your public archive at gna.org with the following command
('archive-2004' is the symbolic name for your public archive location)
tla make-archive --listing --mirror email@example.com \
Then, synchronize your public archive:
tla archive-mirror email@example.com
Usually, it is more practical to synchronize your public archive whenever
commits are done into the local archive. This can be achieved by the means
of a commit hook. A hook is a small shell script that is run by tla when
commands are run. It is located at ~/.arch-params/hook.
Here is an example:
if [ "$1" == "commit" ]; then
tla archive-mirror firstname.lastname@example.com ;
(Please note that your public mirror is locally know as
- Setting up a centralized public archive
If you want several developers to commit direclty into the same public
archive, you may be interested in making the public archive the main one,
so every authorized commiter can access it at any time.
This can be done that way:
tla make-archive --listing firstname.lastname@example.com \
- Accessing a tla project archive
Firstly, register the tla archive with:
tla register-archive firstname.lastname@example.com \
Then, retrieve the archive revision into a local directory:
tla get firstname.lastname@example.com/revision local-directory
For more details about GNU arch, please consider reading the documentation
available at http://www.gnu.org/software/gnu-arch.
A community wiki is also worth browsing at http://gnuarch.org.
This article comes from the FAQ entry:

Re: It is secure (posted by jerome, Thu Mar 11 12:50:58 2004)
I think you have the centralized way in mind.
Arch is mostly used the decentralized way anyway, so
IMHO, using the centralized way doesn't bring any benefit.

Politicians Feel Out How Much Gun Control They Can Pass
The New York Times has an interesting piece on the with us today/against us tomorrow Joe Manchin of WV.
This line in particular caught my attention:
"As Congress considers what, if any, laws to change, Mr. Manchin has become a barometer among his colleagues, testing just how far they might be able to go without angering voters."
I think it describes the phenomenon we are facing quite well. You are going to get exactly as much gun control as they think they can force on you without repercussions at the ballot box. If they think it will cost them at the ballot box, they won't do anything. Our job is to make sure they understand that there is no acceptable amount of gun control.
If you tell them anything is OK or "tolerable" they are going to make sure they pass that. They are counting on you lying down and compromising more of your rights away out of fear. We have the votes and the money. We do not need to be afraid or to compromise.

A lot of congress people are feeling the pressure. I have noticed that a few senators and representatives have set up polls on their websites asking their constituents for their opinion on reinstating the AWB...

I think that one of the notions common to the anti-gunner is the idea that being a victim is 'noble'; as if it is better to be noble in your suffering than disruptive in your own defense.

Not My Congressman or Senators
Thankfully I moved my family recently to a conservative county. If my congressman or either of my senators support ANY type of gun control legislation they will not be receiving my vote. I will be supporting the Libertarian candidate most likely.
Thankfully I have moved as the congressman in my old district is David Scott he has a history of capitulating to all of the Presidents desires.
Long live the sheepdog for the sheep must graze
Lord, make me fast and accurate. Let my aim be true and my hand faster than those who would seek to destroy me.
Grant me victory over my foes and those that wish to do harm to me and mine.
And Lord if today is truly the day you call me home.
Let me die in a pile of empty brass.

I believe we all know that proper gun control is extremely important. Two hands firmly on the weapon, no limp-wristing, and never point it at anything you don't intend to destroy (politicians notwithstanding)

Information For...
Ethics, Responsibilities and Qualifications
(Revised: January 1979, Coordinating Board, Texas College and University System)
The statement which follows, issued in response to Section 14, Paragraph 2, of House Bill 1, 59th Texas Legislature, provides guiding principles designed to aid Texas colleges and universities in evaluating the condition of academic freedom, tenure, and responsibility that prevail on each campus.
Academic Freedom
Institutions of higher education are conducted for the common good. The common good depends upon an uninhibited search for truth and its open expression. Hence, it is essential that each faculty member be free to pursue scholarly inquiry without undue restriction, and to voice and publish individual conclusion concerning the significance of evidence that he or she considers relevant. Each faculty member must be free from the corrosive fear that others, inside or outside the university community, because their vision may differ, may threaten his or her professional career or the material benefits accruing from it.
Each faculty member is entitled to full freedom in the classroom in discussing the subject which he or she teaches but is expected not to introduce into his or her teachings controversial matters which have no relation to the classroom subject. Each faculty member also is a citizen of the nation, state and community; and when speaking, writing, or acting as such, must be free from institutional censorship or discipline, subject to academic responsibility as hereinafter set out, and the faculty member should make it clear that he or she is not speaking for the institution.
Academic Responsibility
The concept of academic freedom for faculty must be accompanied by an equally demanding concept of academic responsibility of faculty. A faculty member has a responsibility to the institution, his or her profession, his or her students, and society at large.
The rights and privileges of faculty members extended by society and protected by governing boards and administrators through written policies and procedures on academic freedom and tenure, and as further protected by the courts, require reciprocally the assumption of certain responsibilities by faculty members. Some of those follow below:
The fundamental responsibilities of a faculty member as a teacher and scholar include maintenance of competence in his or her field of specialization and the exhibition of such professional competence in the classroom, studio, or laboratory and in the public arena by such activities as discussions, lectures, consulting, publications, or participation in professional organization and meetings.
The exercise of professional integrity by a faculty member includes recognition that the public will judge his or her profession and institution by his or her statements. Therefore, the faculty member should strive to be accurate, to exercise appropriate restraint, to be willing to listen to and show respect to others expressing different opinions and to avoid creating the impression that the faculty member speaks or acts for his or her college or university when speaking or acting as a private person.
The constitutionally protected right of the
faculty member, as a citizen, to freedom of expression must be
balanced with the interest of the state, as an employer, in
promoting the efficiency of the educational services it performs
through its employees. A faculty member's comments are
protected even though they may be highly critical in tone or
content or erroneous, but such statements are not protected free
speech if they either substantially impede the faculty
member's performance by his or her daily duties or materially
and substantially interfere with the regular operation of the
institution or if they are part of a continuing pattern of
expression of such nature as to destroy the harmony and morale of a
division, department or college.
False statements made with knowledge of their falsity or in reckless disregard of the truth are not entitled to constitutional protection, and public statement may be so without foundation as to call into question the fitness of the faculty member to perform his or her duties.
A faculty member should be judicious in the use of controversial material in the classroom and should introduce such material only as it has clear relationship to his or her subject field.
A faculty member should be professional in his or her conduct in the classroom and in his or her relationship with students. The faculty member should maintain respect for the student and the student's posture as a learner. The faculty member should make himself or herself appropriately available to the student for consultation on course work.
A faculty member has the responsibility to provide timely and adequate notice of his or her intention to interrupt or terminate institutional services.
Code of Professional Ethics
Professional educators affirm the inherent worth and dignity of all persons and the right of all persons to learn. Learning best occurs in an environment devoted to the pursuit of truth, excellence and liberty. These flourish where both freedom and responsibility are esteemed.
In order to more adequately express the affirmation of our professional responsibilities, we, the members of the Texas Junior College Teachers Association, do adopt and hold ourselves and each other subject to the following Code of Professional Ethics:
The professional educator shall treat all persons with respect, dignity and justice, discriminating against no one on any arbitrary basis such as race, creed, gender, age or social station.
The professional educator shall strive to help each student realize his or her full potential as a scholar and as a human being.
The professional educator shall by example and action encourage and defend the unfettered pursuit of truth by both colleagues and students, supporting the free exchange of ideas, observing the highest standards of academic honesty and integrity and seeking always an attitude of scholarly objectivity and tolerance of other viewpoints.
The professional educator, recognizing the necessity of many roles in the educational enterprise, shall work in such a manner as to enhance cooperation and collegiality among students, faculty, administrators and non-academic personnel.
The professional educator shall recognize and preserve the confidential nature of professional relationships, neither disclosing nor encouraging the disclosure of information of rumor which might damage, embarrass, or violate the privacy of any other person.
The professional educator shall maintain competence through continued professional development, shall demonstrate the competence through consistently adequate preparation and performance and shall seek to enhance that competence by accepting and appropriating constructive criticism and evaluation.
The professional educator shall exercise the highest professional standards in the use of time and resources.
The professional educator shall observe the stated rules and regulations of the institution, reserving the right judiciously to seek revision.
The professional educator shall participate in the governance of the institution by accepting a fair share of committee and institutional responsibilities.
The professional educator, recognizing the needs and rights of others as embodied in the institution, shall fulfill the employment agreement both in spirit and, in fact, shall give reasonable notice upon resignation, and shall neither accept tasks for which he or she is not qualified nor assign tasks to unqualified persons.
The professional educator shall support the right of all colleagues to academic freedom and due process and defend and assist a professional colleague accused of wrongdoing, incompetence, or serious offense so long as the colleague's innocence may reasonably be maintained.
The professional educator shall not support the continuation in higher education of a colleague known by him or her to be persistently unethical or professionally incompetent.
The professional educator shall accept all the rights and responsibilities of citizenship, including participation in the formulation of public policy, always avoiding use of the privileges of his or her public position for private or partisan advantage.
Faculty Duties and Responsibilities
Listed below are the duties and responsibilities required of each part-time faculty member:
To be concerned with all matters involving teaching.
To be aware of administrative policies, philosophies, and objectives of the college.
To prepare thoroughly for each class period.
To START and END each class session as specified in the class schedule booklet.
To prepare and file course syllabi each semester. A copy of each course syllabus should be forwarded to the dean of the division.
To clearly inform the students of each class at the beginning of each semester the manner in which grades are determined.
To display professional mannerisms in conduct and appearance, whether teaching day, evening, or Saturday class(es).
To make periodic evaluation of students' academic progress and to keep students informed as to their academic progress.
To personally proctor all tests and examinations at all times.
To develop a rapport with students so that they feel comfortable asking for assistance.
To tutor students who require special attention.
To be available either before or after class for student conferences.
To be prompt with all reports which are requested by the departmental chairperson and the administrators of the college.
To keep accurate records of students' attendance and report excessive absences to the appropriate office.
To prepare and submit grade reports.
To be familiar with the catalog and publications of the college.
To attend all part-time faculty meetings.
To work with student personnel services concerning student welfare.
Qualifications of Faculty
South Plains College strives to adhere to the standards of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools which state that all teaching faculty members must have special competence in the fields in which they teach. This special competence is attested to by advanced study culminating in appropriate graduate degrees, or by extensive work experience in the teaching fields or in a professional practice that is demonstrably of highest quality. Adherence to these standards at all academic levels is essential to the educational quality of instruction.
The following has been extracted from the 1998 Criteria for Accreditation, Commission on Colleges, Southern Association of Colleges and Schools:
In an associate degree program, full-time and part-time faculty members teaching credit courses in the following areas: humanities/fine arts; social/behavioral sciences; and natural sciences/mathematics must have completed at least 18 graduate semester hours in the teaching discipline and hold at least a master's degree, or hold the minimum of a master's degree with a major in the teaching discipline. In exceptional cases, outstanding professional experience and demonstrated contributions to the teaching discipline may be presented in lieu of formal academic preparation in the above areas. Such cases must be justified by the institution on an individual basis.
The Commission encourages interdisciplinary courses and recognizes that appropriate credentials for teaching may vary. The institution must document and justify the academic and professional preparation of faculty members teaching in such courses or programs.
Each full-time and part-time faculty member teaching courses in professional, occupational, and technical areas other than physical activities courses that are components for associate degree programs designed for college transfer, or from which substantial numbers of students transfer to senior institutions, must have completed 18 graduate semester hours in the teaching discipline and hold at least a master's degree, or hold the minimum of the master's degree with a major in the teaching discipline
Each full-time and part-time faculty member teaching credit courses in professional, occupational, and technical areas that are components of associate degree programs not usually resulting in college transfer, or in the continuation of students in senior institutions, must possess appropriate academic preparation or academic preparation coupled with work experience. The minimum academic degree for faculty teaching in professional, occupational, and technical areas must be at the same level at which the faculty member is teaching. The typical combination is a baccalaureate degree with appropriate work experience.
In exceptional cases, outstanding professional experience and demonstrated contributions to the teaching discipline may be presented in lieu of formal academic preparation for faculty members teaching both transfer and non-transfer courses in these areas. Such cases must be justified by the institution on an individual basis.
It is the responsibility of the institution to keep on file for all full-time and part-time faculty members documentation of academic preparation, such as official transcripts, and, if appropriate for demonstrating competency, official documentation of professional and work experience, technical and performance competency, records of publications, and certification and other qualifications.
Non-degree diploma or certificate occupational courses are typically taught by faculty members with some college or specialized training, but with an emphasis on competence gained through work experience. While competency requirements may vary, they should be clearly defined by each institution. In all cases, faculty members must have special competence in the fields in which they teach. It is the responsibility of the institution to keep on file documentation for work experience, certification and other qualifications if these are to substitute for or supplement formal academic preparation.
Faculty members who teach basic computation and communication skills in non-degree occupational programs must have a baccalaureate degree, and ideally, should have work or other experience which helps them to relate these skills to the occupational field.
Faculty members who teach adult basic education courses below the collegiate level must have a baccalaureate degree, and also should have attributes or experiences which help them to relate to the particular needs of the adults they teach.
Faculty members who teach remedial programs must hold a baccalaureate degree in a discipline related to their teaching assignment and have either teaching experience in a discipline related to their assignment or graduate training in remedial education.

Spring's best combo—strawberries and rhubarb—fill this simple strudel for two.
Nutrition Profile:
Heart Healthy
High Fiber
Low Cholesterol
Low Sat Fat
Serves 2
Prep Time 20 min
Total Time 60 min.
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
Step 2
Combine strawberries, rhubarb, 2 tablespoons sugar, flour, tapioca, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl.
Step 3
Unroll phyllo sheets onto a clean, dry surface, keeping them in a stack. Cover with a sheet of wax paper and then a damp kitchen towel. (Keep the phyllo covered to prevent it from drying out while you work.) Take one sheet of phyllo from the stack and place it on another clean, dry surface with a short side closest to you. Starting at the center and working toward the edges, lightly brush the sheet with oil. Lay another sheet of phyllo on top and brush with oil; repeat with the remaining sheets of phyllo.
Step 4
Mound the strawberry-rhubarb filling on the lower third of the phyllo stack, leaving a 2-inch border at the bottom and sides. Fold the long edges in toward the center and, starting at the short edge nearest you, roll the filling and phyllo into a cylinder. Roll up firmly but not too tightly, to allow a little room for expansion.
Step 5
Brush the strudel with oil and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon sugar. Carefully transfer the strudel to the prepared baking sheet, placing it seam-side down. Poke several steam vents in the top using the tip of a sharp knife.
Step 6
Bake the strudel until golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool on the pan for 10 minutes before serving.

This year (because of ppb) I have an abundace of drawn boxes of comb that I need to get occupied with bees to help protect asap.
Anybody have experience installing swarms on fully drawn comb?
Acceptance? Any other issues?

This afternoon we all (minus Sara, Adrian and Bob) took a trip to Burford, Gateway to the Costwolds, with Genevieve Hawkins. Genevieve, you should know, has been part of the Shimer in Oxford Program for almost as long as the program's existence. She started tutoring Shimer students in French in 1973, and has had tutees on pretty much every one of Shimer's trips to Oxford since then, including two this term - Katy and Eugene. She also has a penchant for parish churches. In fact, she's on a quest to visit a thousand of them in England. She's currently up to 953. So I asked her if she would take us to one of her favorites and she very graciously obliged.
Our trip didn't add to Gen's tally, but she chose well in taking us to see Burford's Church of St. John the Baptist. It bears revisiting. It's one of those places (of which Oxfordshire has more than its share) where historical time gets foreshortened, in which the long, complex past becomes intimately vivid. The stones speak: on the baptismal font there's a bold graffito scratched in by "ANTHONY SEDLEY 1649 PRISNER" (yes, his spelling was thus, and his Ns were backward). Sedley was a "Leveler," a democratically-minded member of the republican forces of Cromwell's New Model Army who refused marching orders against the Irish. As a result, he and a small party of others were locked into St. John the Baptist to await their fate only months after King Charles I had lost his head to Cromwell and Parliament. Sedley reportedly watched from the roof as three fellow prisoners were executed in the churchyard. In fact, the church's stones seemed to bear a litany of dark moments, including this one further on in our tour:
According to a local history, "The crime was credited by some to the Fifth Earl of Abercorn, but he was acquitted by his peers and a gardener was hanged." (Sounds like a frame-job.)
But all in all, Burford has been just as prosperous and peaceable as any town its size, if not more so. It did a rich trade in wool and was at the center of hiving quarries of the golden Cotswold stone that built much of Oxford and the surrounding towns. Now it keeps up appearances mainly through the bursting tea and knickknack shops along its steep High Street, lined mostly with upscale medieval houses that give the whole place a charmingly diminutive stateliness. Burford is also an old center of Quaker worship; past resident Friends include the forebears of John Hancock (he of the Declaration) as well as Genevieve's uncle. The latter was an antiques dealer, and donated more than one of the items in the fascinating collection to be found in the local history museum to which we went following our tour of St. John's. But - enough of me nattering - here are some more pics of the day.
Genevieve and Ari at the tomb of Sir and Lady Tanfield.
Eugene looking over a verse from William Tyndale's translation of the Bible painted onto a wall at the end of the south aisle.
Church of St. John the Baptist.
Looking over one of the 15th century royal charters for Burford's town market in the local history museum.

Film & Discussion: Inequality for All
A passionate argument on behalf of the middle class, this film features Robert Reich-professor, best-selling author, and Clinton cabinet member-as he demonstrates how the widening income gap has a devastating impact on the American economy.
At the heart of the film is a simple proposition: what is a good society, and what role does the widening income gap play in the deterioration of our nation's economic health.
Through his singular perspective, Reich explains how the massive consolidation of wealth by a precious few threatens the viability of the American workforce and the foundation of democracy itself. In this INCONVENIENT TRUTH for the economy, Reich uses humor and a wide array of facts to explain how the issue of economic inequality affects each and every one of us.
Suggested Donation $5-10
Speaker to lead a discussion following the film, TBD
Sponsored by San Jose Peace and Justice Center, Green Party of Santa Clara County, and Dream Menders

Welcome to HandGunForum.net!
I have a S&W model 15 that I use regularly; I bought it because I carried one while in the USAF, and I really enjoy shooting this size and style of revolver. Mine is a 4" barrel version, but otherwise, it is probably almost identical to the one you are looking at. The S&W model 15 is a .38 Special caliber, 6-shot, swing-out cylinder, medium-frame (K-frame), blue-steel revolver, that can be fired in two different modes; single-action (thumb-cocking the hammer and lightly squeezing the trigger for each shot) or double-action (squeezing the trigger through a long, heavy pull that cocks and then releases the hammer for each shot). It has a fully-adjustable rear sight, with slotted adjustment screws for windage (left and right adjustment) and elevation (up and down). The front sight is usually a serrated steel ramp-style fixed blade. Normal factory-issued grips were made of checkered walnut, and were the smaller service-style grips. Used model 15s are often seen with aftermarket (non-factory) rubber grips, which are usually rather ugly, although they can be very functional in giving the shooter a secure grasp on the handgun.
These are great revolvers, and one in excellent condition might bring $400 or more. Used police department trade-in guns with worn external finishes are worth less, but still can be fine shooters.

A bequest is a charitable gift you leave to Global Exchange in your will or living trust. Bequests are primarily gifts of cash, securities, real estate, and tangible personal property. By naming Global Exchange as a beneficiary in your will you can make a lasting difference for the cause of human rights and social, political and economic justice around the world.
There are three main types:
- Specific Bequest -- a specific dollar amount, percentage of the estate, or piece of property set aside for Global Exchange.
- Residual Bequest -- a remaining amount (or residue) paid to Global Exchange after your estate pays all debt, taxes, expenses, and specific bequests.
- Contingent Bequest -- a bequest paid only if certain circumstances occur. For example, you can specify that Global Exchange be a beneficiary only if there are no surviving close family members.
- You can take unlimited estate tax deductions for charitable bequests.
- You can modify your bequest if circumstances change.
- You can specify what the gift is used for. (Check with us for appropriate language.)
- Your contribution will leave a lasting legacy of your commitment to international human rights, environmental sustainability, and economic justice.
An example of language for a charitable bequest is: "I hereby give, devise, or bequeath to Global Exchange (tax i.d. 94-3066686)...
An outright bequest to Global Exchange is fully tax-deductible for estate-tax purposes. You may make a bequest to Global Exchange by adding a codicil to your current will or by preparing a new will. Please consult your attorney so your intentions are properly recorded.
So we may properly acknowledge your contribution, please notify Ashley Cline at 415.255.7296 ext. 249 or email ashley [at] globalexchange [dot] org

Reviews of this property
The apartment is very nice! You can get to the metro station "Deak ferenc tér" in about 5 minutes to get to the central of Budapest very quick. We had everything we needed like dishes a nice bathroom or a nice couch. I recommend this place to everyone!
We have been there for 5 days and enjoyed very much. The apartment is very nice and clean. Almost erverything you need can be reached by feet within 5 to 10 minutes (Tram, train, metro, supermarket, cinema...) and the public traffic works fine. Usualy you don't have to wait more than 5 minutes to catch the next tram if you missed the first one (or which other public traffic).
Nice bakeries are reachable in less than 5 minutes by feet.
The hosts: also very nice and friendly. They take care for you and explain you everything you might need.
Thumbs up!!
Very nice apartment nearby Metro, Tram and Train station.
The owner is friendly and speaks fluently English.
Very nice apartment - clean, usefull and modern. Great location in relation to centrum. Very pleasant owner!!! He answer for our whole questions about city and opportunities of sightseeting. Really recommend ;)
everything was great, all right
alles super, alles in ordnung
Das Appartment ist 10 Minuten (Fußweg) vom Bahnhof Deli entfernt. Ein paar Blöcke weiter können Sie mit der Buslinie 16 auf den Burgberg von Szell Kalman ter (Metro-Station) aus fahren.
Nachdem zwei Haustüren, die letzte, hergestellt aus Stahl ,und mit elektronischen Öffner versehen passiert sind geht man über Treppen in den zweiten Stock.Die Wohnung ist ebenfals durch zwei Schlösser gesichert, Sie ist modern, sauber und praktisch. Über die Küche kann man lüften , bevor man sich schlafen legt. Die Nachbarn stören in der Nacht nicht.
Attila war sehr freundlich und half uns in jeder Situation. Er spricht fließend englisch und macht nach einem langen Aufenthalt im Vereinigten Königreich eher den Eindruck eines britischer Staatsbürgers, als den eines Ungarn.
Aber wir können es bestätigen, er spricht auch fliessend ungarisch.
Die Umgebung, auch in der Nähe des Bahnhofs Deli ist sicher, auch in der späten Nacht.
Noch ein Tip: Erkundigen Sie sich auf jeden Fall nach dem Flughafenbus bei einer Touristeninformation und fahren Sie auf keinen Fall mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln zum Flughafen ( keine Aufzüge !!)
D J Lauing
The appartment is locatet within a 10 minutes walk from Deli trainstation. A few blocks around you can go with the bus line 16 to the castle hill from Szell Kalman ter (Metro station).
After two entrance doors, the last made of steel and with electronic opener you have to go the stairs to the second floor. The appartment is here also locked with two door locks. The flat is modern, clean and prakticel. Over the kitchen you can let the air in , that is then enough oxygene for the whole night. The neighbours doesent disturb in the night.
Attila was very kind and helped us in every situation. He speaks english fluently
and makes after a long stay in the UK more the impression of a british citizen, than a hungary. But you can be sure, he speaks also fluently hungary.
The surronding is ,also in the neighborhood of the train station Deli secure , also in the late night time.
A last tip: Ask for the airport bus at the touristinformation and never use the public transport to the airport ( there are no elvatours !!).
D + J Lauing
Attila is a great host! When he picked us up from the airport to take us to the apartment he took a sightseeing tour :) In the apartment he showed us a map off Budapest, that was really handy.
Also a great apartment, the fan really came in use cause of the heat (35 degrees in june)
Apartment very well located and well equipped and a very competitive price.
Friendly welcome Attila who greeted me at 23:30.
I plan to return next year.
Appartement très bien situé et bien équipé et à un prix très compétitif.
Sympathique accueil d' Attila qui m'a accueilli à 23h30.
Je pense y retourner l'année prochaine.
Nice little place for a mature couple like us: nead and clean, placed near all public transport and local shops, fine suggestions for tourist attractions. Owner very helpfull. We can recommend a stay.
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption
