The God of Hell: A Play
Pulitzer Prize winner Sam Shepard s latest play is an uproarious, brilliantly provocative farce that brings the gifts of a quintessentially American playwright to bear on the current American dilemma.Frank and Emma are a quiet, respectable couple who raise cows on their Wisconsin farm. Soon after they agree to put up Frank s old friend Haynes, who is on the lam from a secret government project involving plutonium, they re visited by Welch, an unctuous government bureaucrat from hell. His aggressive patriotism puts Frank, Emma, and Haynes on the defensive, transforming a heartland American household into a scene of torture and promoting a radioactive brand of conformity with a dangerously long half life.

Financial Assistance
Students are supported from three sources, in roughly equal numbers: fellowships (either from outside sources or departmental funds), Assistantships in Research (AR) in both theory and experiment, and Assistantships in Instruction (AI). All students remain supported by these sources for as long as they continue to make progress toward their degree . An AR requires 20 hours per week in an active research group; an AI up to 20 hours of work per week. Both ARs and AIs provide a stipend to the student and all tuition. All first-year students are awarded a university fellowship, unless they bring their own external fellowship. Students are encouraged to join a research group as soon as they arrive, in order to participate actively in the activities of the department. This is an opportunity to explore a possible thesis area, to begin actual thesis research, to develop useful technical skills, or to do the generals experimental project. The Department expects students to find summer support in a research group for the summer following the first year for all interested students in experimental fields. We will attempt to match the summer position with the interests of the student based on the student's application. The student is not obligated to accept this position and can seek another if desired. Most second year students are involved in teaching as AIs. Almost all of the AI positions involve contact with students. As well as being a valued service to the Department, the AI is a valuable experience for graduate students, as teaching of some kind is a part of many scientific careers. For this reason, students with outside fellowships are encouraged to volunteer for part-time teaching, for which a supplementary stipend is usually awarded.
Once they are fully involved in thesis research, most students are supported as ARs in the research groups of their thesis advisors. The work done for the AR is the student's thesis work itself. There is no summer academic session at Princeton, but the research program continues vigorously year-round. For most students, summer support is available. Some students use the summer months to study at an advanced summer school in the U.S. or abroad. When judged to be valuable for the student by his or her advisor, a departmental matching fund is available for such summer schools or for students to attend professional meetings or conferences.

The Netherlands legal scene is in turmoil after a series of UK firms broke
into their markets. Alison Laferla reports on the new European invasion.
Twelve months ago, probably the best word to describe The Netherlands'
legal scene would have been "stable". The market was dominated by a handful
of large local firms and poaching at partner level was rare.
Local lawyers had recovered from the shock of Clifford Chance opening an
Amsterdam office in the 1970s, and everything seemed to be ticking along
quite comfortably.
How much can change in a year? Now, as one Dutch lawyer puts it: "The
Netherlands' legal scene is in turmoil."
Local firms had barely digested the news that foreign giants Linklaters &
Alliance and Freshfields were elbowing in on their lucrative market, when
Loeff Claeys Verbeke, the largest Benelux law firm, confirmed last month
that it was breaking up to pave the way for a merger with Allen & Overy.
Last week, The Lawyer revealed that the merger is set to exclude Loeffs'
Rotterdam office.
The news has flabbergasted the legal community, and it is not surprising
that the local press is muttering about an unwanted invasion from foreign
So why has The Netherlands been targeted by international heavyweights?
Part of the answer lies in the quest of large City firms to build up
pan-European practices, offering a seamless cross-border capability. As
firms like Linklaters and Freshfields rolled out into Europe, they could
not afford to ignore The Netherlands, where the major firms already had
healthy trans-border practices.
Dutch firm De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek, for example, was one of the
initial firms to join up to Linklaters & Alliance last year.
Allen & Overy managing partner John Rink says: "The Dutch economy ranks
among Europe's largest and for us The Netherlands are an integral part of
our strategy to build a truly pan-European law firm."
Dick van der Stelt, resident partner in the London office of Dutch firm
Nauta Dutilh, explains: "The fact that The Netherlands is a small country
means that it is internationally oriented. We have a tradition of doing
business abroad and of being an intermediary between countries and
Dolph Stuyling, partnership secretary at Loeffs, goes further.
"My personal view is that British firms are all making one another
increase their market positions, as a growth procedure and to foresee
future mergers with US firms. If they can bring in their dowry a truly
integrated European practice, this will up their stature in merger talks,"
he says.
Along with the strategic goal of expanding across Europe came the
realisation that there were rich pickings on offer.
Many European top 300 companies are based in The Netherlands because of
its favourable corporate tax regime. Freshfields, for one, thought the role
of Dutch lawyers in cross-border transactions was disproportionate to their
size in terms of the European economy. The firm decided to muscle in on the
market, and in March this year announced it was opening an Amsterdam
After preliminary talks with local firms, in particular Nauta, came to
nothing, Freshfields decided to set up an office from scratch. Chief
executive Alan Peck says Dutch firms proved too big and insufficiently
profitable for merger.
Freshfields promptly recruited four very high-profile Netherlands
partners, three from Belgian-Dutch firm Stibbe Simont Monahan Duhot and one
from De Brauw. This aggressive move came as a shock to Benelux firms, which
are not used to losing their partners.
The big five accountants were also moving into the market, after the Dutch
bar gave the go-ahead for multidisciplinary partnerships in The Netherlands
earlier in the year. In March 1999, Ernst & Young's captive firm, Van
Gijzen Advocaten, recruited a 12-strong notary team from Dutch firm Trenite
Van Doorne, making it one of the largest Dutch firms.
Stuyling says these developments precipitated Loeffs' disintegration.
"There was a general feeling that, given developments in the market, we
should be doing something in order to prevent Loeffs from disintegrating as
a result of one partner leaving every six months to join Freshfields,
Clifford Chance, et cetera. We wanted to keep our future in our own hands,"
he says.
Under the new plans, a group of 35 partners will join Allen & Overy and
another group of 26 partners is merging with Dutch tax firm Loyens &
Volkmaars. What will happen to the rest of The Netherlands partners remains
to be seen.
The speed of Loeffs' decision took many by surprise, but so far the
reaction has generally been positive. Peck describes it as a brave and
far-sighted move.
Observers expect something similar to happen when De Brauw moves towards a
full merger with its Linklaters partners.
So far, Dutch lawyers are playing down the impact of these developments.
They argue that the Dutch market will not be significantly affected by the
mergers, as Allen & Overy and Linklaters already had referral agreements
with their future merger partners.
Van der Stelt says: "I can see advantages for the Dutch sides, as they
will have access to UK know-how and the UK way of handling large cases. But
I don't think Allen & Overy or Linklaters will attract more Dutch business
than they did before, because the alliances were already there."
His firm Nauta, the largest Netherlands firm, has said it will remain
independent and not look to merge.
"Our practice traditionally comes out of lots of referral work," says van
der Stelt. "We get work and clients from all over the world and are looking
to maintain our relationships with A1 City and US firms.
"We believe this keeps things more interesting for our partners."
Stuyling says: "It's easy to say we will have an alliance but to really
merge, and deal with difference in profitability and size, is quite a
different matter. I think it is going to pose substantial problems."
He believes the mergers will create opportunities for the few remaining
independent Dutch firms, as they will not be hampered by conflict of
interest situations.
Despite their low-key reaction, Dutch lawyers know local firms cannot
match the resources of multinational practices. As Stuyling comments:
"Freshfields still has a long way to go to become a firm with a credible
number of specialists and associates to do the work and a sufficient number
of clients to become a competitive force, but they certainly have the
back-up to do that."
In particular, as Freshfields showed, ambitious Dutch partners are willing
to jump ship for the more profitable international firms. "The turn-on for
the best lawyers is doing the best work, and the non-international Benelux
firms are being excluded from the best work," explains one senior lawyer.
"Dutch firms were too big and had no proper quality control. The good
lawyers were subsidising the poor ones. Some lawyers have been
feather-bedded for too long."
Clifford Chance, for many years the only City firm with an Amsterdam
presence, is also having to face up to the new competition. It has
signalled a desire to expand its Amsterdam presence and there are
unconfirmed rumours that it is looking for a Netherlands merger partner. As
one Dutch lawyer puts it: "We are all waiting to see what will happen
The developments have also had ramifications in the other Benelux
countries. In particular, Loeffs' Belgium operation was affected by the
firm's break up.
Unlike its Netherlands counterpart, Loeffs 30-partner Belgian practice
will not be merging with Allen & Overy.
Loeffs' Benelux managing partner, Wim Dejanghe, says: "The Dutch market is
under greater pressure to do this type of operation at this stage. We feel
to do this sort of thing would be premature. We will continue operating the
way we did before and our relationship with Allen & Overy will remain the
"I do not expect the merger to have a very large impact on us," he says.
Dejanghe believes that so far Belgian law firms have escaped the City
firms' greedy gaze. "English law firms are first concentrating on the most
important markets. Dutch companies are much stronger than the Belgian ones,
so we've been more protected.
"English firms, at this stage, are not really competitors for Belgian law.
They are looking at the larger markets like Italy and Spain," he says.
Yves Herinckx, managing partner of Clifford Chance's Brussels office,
agrees that there have been no huge changes in the Belgian legal scene,
apart from a client-led trend towards internationalisation.
"With firms and their customer base, there is a move towards international
providers of services. This is reflected in the desire of local firms to
internationalise, as seen by De Bandt van Hecke & Legae joining Linklaters
& Alliance and the attempted merger by Loeffs."
European alliances are also giving foreign firms in-roads into the tightly
regulated Luxembourg market.
Linklaters became the first UK firm to move into Luxembourg when it signed
Loesch & Wolter to its alliance in May. The firm joined the alliance via a
full merger with Belgian member De Bandt.
Now Allen & Overy is in merger discussions with Loeffs' Luxembourg office.
Luxembourg is considered a significant gain because of its lucrative
banking market.
Herinckx says: "Traditionally the legal market in Luxembourg was serviced
by a small number of local and very traditional firms. But this is starting
to change as lawyers there realise that internationalisation is key.
"Their natural client base, the large financial institutions, are
expecting an international standard of service and Luxembourg lawyers are
responding to that."

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. - For the 16th time in 17 years, the Tennessee Lady Vol tennis team has advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament, using a 4-0 win over VCU on Friday at the Snyder Tennis Center to continue its season.
Winning the doubles point for the 21st time this season, Tennessee added singles wins from Natalie Pluskota, Kata Szekely and Caitlyn Williams and will face regional host Virginia on Saturday at 3 p.m. ET.
"We're pumped," Pluskota said. "This is tournament time. Anything can happen. We're coming to win, we're playing to win and we're going to give it everything we have."
VCU (20-5) entered the contest with a large dose of confidence riding an 11-match winning streak and a Colonial Athletic Association championship, but the Lady Vols (15-12) did their best to crush that early and often.
After winning the doubles point, UT won five of six opening sets in singles and raced to the finish line.
"Our ones played fantastic," said co-head coach Mike Patrick, referring to UT's doubles play. "Our two and three, you know VCU is a tough team. They competed well at every spot. We had to earn every one of those victories today. I'm just proud of our kids and what they did."
Pluskota and Szekely, who earned an at-large selection to the NCAA Doubles Tournament, jumped out to a 5-0 lead before winning their match, 8-1, over Alex and Ana Bara.
While Pluskota and Szekely improved to 15-1 (8-0) together, Tennessee found itself trailing on courts two and three with the doubles point up for grabs.
Williams and Brynn Boren trailed 5-4, while Joanna Henderson and Jesse Grace were behind 6-4. Both retaliated, but Boren and Williams reeled off four consecutive games to win 8-4, giving the Lady Vols a 1-0 advantage.
From there, Tennessee cruised to its sixth shutout of the season and 16th in an NCAA Tournament match.
Pluskota dominated her first set against Ana Bara, 6-0, but it was her doubles partner that took care of business first.
After dropping her initial game, Szekely won 12 of the next 14 games to give the Lady Vols a 2-0 lead with a 6-1, 6-2 decision over Olga Terteac.
"It was obviously really good to get a win, but it was a really hard match," Szekely said. "It's always hard to come back and compete after having three or four weeks off. It was really good and it was a team effort today."
Matching a season best, Szekely won her fifth consecutive match and sixth in seven tries.
Shortly thereafter, Pluskota used a 6-0, 6-3 victory to put the Lady Vols in winning position. Winning for the fifth time in her last six matches, Pluskota is now 4-1 all-time in NCAA Team Tournament play.
"It's great to have a good win today going into tomorrow," Pluskota said. "It took everyone out there working together to get the team win and that's the most important thing right now."
With Boren and Grace winning tiebreakers to capture their first sets, it was Williams who would bring home the win for the Lady Vols.
After struggling through a season of injuries, it was a 6-4, 6-3 win to elevate Tennessee to the second round that proved to be the cure.
Williams fell behind 3-1 in the second set, before registering the next five games to clinch the win for Tennessee.
"I've definitely been playing a lot better lately," Williams said. "It's just great to actually compete again, fight hard, fight for the team and get a good win for the team."
Tennessee is now 27-12 all-time at the regional site of the NCAA Tournament and looks to advance to the Round of 16 for the 10th time in program history Saturday.
"We're going to have to come out and compete like demons tomorrow," Patrick said. "We did a great job today and I'm proud of them, but it's not over. We have to come out tomorrow and give them everything we have."

All-time, Tennessee is 7-2 against the Cavaliers.
UT and Virginia have met once in the NCAA Tournament, a 4-1 decision in 2003 to advance to the Round of 16 in Athens, Ga., which is also the site of this year's final rounds.
Virginia is ranked 14th after sporting an 19-7 record to this point.

Don't pin too much hopes on Ashraful for 3rd day.
I am not being pessimistic, but instead looking at a realistic point of view. Our fightback against Sri Lanka has been very rare, infact I don't remember any fightback from a difficult position against Sri Lanka in my living memory. My heart suffered a lot previously, expecting something massive everytime, and that feeling was ineluctable, but now I have contrived to change that, so I don't get disappointed as often as I used to in the past. I am not posting a long essay but just trying to say to other members 'Lets hope for the best, but the most important thing ,
prepare for the worst, according to certain circumstances',
or else when Ashraful edges one or gets yorked the first ball of the day, there will be multiple threads relating to Ashraful and I don't want to discuss how the genre of those posts shall be like, as I guess everyone knows that!
Hope our hearts doesn't sink in the same manner today when the umpire raises his
towards Ash.

Killing Phone Books
Advantages of water testing are simplicity and fairly uniform results. Disadvantages are the fact that we are shooting water rather than a medium that more resembles flesh and the procedure is somewhat messy.
Another common bullet test is shooting paper. Old telephone books or newspapers are commonly targeted. I recently experimented with both dry and soaked telephone books and learned a few things. Some friends and I shot over one hundred telephone books. After the shooting I recycled them since I did not think the bullet holes would affect the recycling process.
First, penetration was very similar in wet or dry books. Secondly, the bullets retrieved from the wet books were much easier to clean up. Believe it or not the dry books resulted in more mess since we created a lot of confetti during the shooting. Dry books are a bit lighter to handle. During our tests we duct-taped five books together and tried to get two or three shots evenly spaced into the bundles.
The wet books are easy to work with. Simply place a few phone books into a Rubber Maid tub and pour in three or four gallons of water. Let sit for a couple of days, adding water as required to maintain a constant height. Make sure that the books fit into the tub loosely since they will swell-up about one-third in volume. After they no longer soak-up any water, take four or five and duct-tape them into a bundle. I found that spaying one end of a bundle with white paint helped determine impact locations.
When we tested the new bonded hunting bullets we learned one interesting thing all of the bullets stopped in the Chinese Restaurant section of the fourth book. Nice consistency. That section was about five and one half inches from the front of the first book, simple as that. If you try this test make sure that you have some small zip-lock bags or plastic vials to store the recovered bullets in. Take along a felt pen to write the base data on the container. No use shooting the bullets and then mixing them up.
There are a few other test mediums that I will be exploring but the only real test is in the hunting field. I try to examine how each bullet performed and also to recover any bullet that does not exit.
My recovered bullet collection contains many memories that return when I look at those chunks of lead and copper. There are two big Swift A-Frame mushrooms that bring back the mental image of a huge Alaskan brown bear coming across a sandbar straight at my rifle. Recovered bullets are great souvenirs of the hunt!

A rowdy crowd of internationals is screaming at the TV screen action off the coast of West Africa. New Zealanders join fellow crew members from several other Rugby World Cup nations onboard the world's largest non-governmental hospital ship, Africa Mercy.
Courtesy of satellite TV, the Kiwis among the Mercy ship crew were scouring the fixtures to catch the games.
Miriam Tillman from Christchurch is the Africa Mercy pharmacist. She particularly enjoys watching the rugby with the opposition supporters. "It is always great fun hassling the South Africans or Australians, especially when there are a few Kiwis around to back me up."

Rihanna is unstoppable! After the recent unveiling of the new single 'We Found Love' of her 6th studio album she steals the fashion world's attention in the cover of Vogue UK's November issue.
For her debut British Vogue cover, the fashion chameleon channeled some Marilyn Monroe glamour with a bleach blonde curly wig.
The singer wore an Asian inspired black silk Armani Privé curve-hugging dress from the Fall 2011 Couture collection which has a dramatic architectural floral-printed neckline and an asymmetric velvet band around the waist.
She looks amazing!
Here some highlights of her interview:
On her controversial videos: "That's not me. That's a part I play. You know, like it's a piece of art… They want me to be a role model just because of the life I lead. The things I say in my songs, they expect it of me, and [being a role model] became more of my job than I wanted it to be. But no, I just want to make music. That's it."
On growing up with a drug addicted parent: "I saw too much. I was way too mature for my age."
The "R&B" diva, recently named an Armani spokeswoman, will also appear in a 'mini-film' for the Armani ads set to debut October 6th exclusively on Armani.com.

Hi folks - just in the process of buying a 2010 530D Gran Tursimo SE and thought I should introduce myself!
Very excited about getting my new motor next Tuesday! After much brow beating by my better half I've decided to get a truly comfortable car once again after having my current Carrera 4 S.
I was actually considering a Merc E350 sport or new 7 or 5 Series. The Merc is a lovely car but the technology/interiors are not as well designed as the BM in my opinion.I called into the BM dealership to check out prices and stumbled accross a gleaming Titanium Silver 530d SE Gran Turismo with 20" multi-spoke alloys. Unlike most people I've alway really liked the GT from an aesthetic perspective and have alway "gotten" what its all about in terms of being a large cruiser with luxury interior, stacks of space with great pace and handling (for it's size) . I was, like many people, of the belief these are strict 4 seaters, however, this only applies to the Exec model. This was an SE (seats 5) with black leather sports seats, pan-roof, memory seats, Dynamic pack, Prof Media pack, Visibility pack and nice black ash wood trim.
I was looking for a much lighter interior instead of black this time around but soon as I sat in the drivers seat I realised the black interior was very sporty and a special place to be with huge amounts of space (as much if not more rears space than a RR). There are huge amounts of light thanks to the giant panoramic sun roof. I have a history of lots of cars (too many!) and can honestly say the interior is one of the nicest I've experienced (comparing against Range Rovers, Audi A8)
Anyway - I took the car for a test drive with my wife we were both so impressed with the way its speed, torque, and how luxurious it was that we immediately decided we had to buy it!
Man-maths kicked in an a deal was struck.... roll on next Tuesday!

Iowans Mark the 7th Anniversary of the Iraq War
Iowans Mark the 7th Anniversary of the Iraq War
by Paul Deaton
"We sang 'If I Had a Hammer,' written in
1949 in
support of the progressive movement. We were heartened against society's
harshness by being together as friends."
A woman started crying as she read the names of people
killed during the first seven years of the Iraq war. Today marks the beginning
of the eighth year of US participation in this military action and it is hard
not to be affected by reading the names of those who died. A bell rang after
each name was read. It is especially disheartening when we realize that in addition
to 43 Iowans, uncounted Iraqi men, women and children lost their lives during the Iraq war.
Today was a day of vigils and demonstrations in many major population centers
in Iowa and the nation. It is up to the living to honor the dead. Before this
war ends, more will die.
As the sun rose in front of us, food service tractor
trailers, beer trucks and refuse haulers plied the streets servicing nearby
bars and restaurants. Buses drove past and some of the drivers honked their
horns in recognition of the vigil. The bank showed the temperature to be 43
degrees, but none of us minded the chilly weather. We sang Pete Seeger and Lee
Hays' song "If I Had a Hammer," written in 1949 in
support of the progressive movement. We were heartened against society's
harshness by being together as friends.
There were about two dozen of us this morning: a better
crowd than normal. We didn't need the bullhorn. There were signs to hold and
candles to burn. As we were gathering we exchanged greetings and talked about
the future. This one was attending law school, another talked about nuclear
power and another about the cost of the wars. Someone wanted a new yard sign
because the first one had worn out during the course of this interminable war. After
an hour the group broke up and we parted to get on with our lives.
Ed Flaherty, a member of PEACE Iowa and Veterans for Peace,
organized two vigils in Iowa City at the University of Iowa's Pentacrest. (If
you live in the area, the second one is at 7:00 PM today, March 19). We were pleased
that the Cedar Rapids Gazette sent a reporter to cover the event for both print
and television. A couple of participants gave interviews while the rest of us
stood as backdrop for the camera. If we weren't standing our vigil, there may
not have been press coverage of the anniversary of the Iraq war at all. Many of
us thanked the reporter for coming and supporting us. When the government won't
listen, we need every friend we can get.
Deaton is a native Iowan living in rural Johnson County and weekend
editor of Blog for Iowa. He is also a member of Iowa Physicians for
Social Responsibility and Veterans for Peace. E-mail Paul

Mom's Chocolate Decadent Cake
Shelia Senghas
This cake carves and stacks well for simple or elegant specialty cakes. Two years ago I made and donated a heart shaped candy box cake for the Concan Cancer Relay for Life Valentine's dance and auction and I used the recipe for my 'Mom's Favorite Chocolate 3-d Cake.' I torted the top layer of the cake and, after adding cherry flavoring and finely minced maraschino cherries to half of the frosting, I put a thin coat between the cake layers. I stacked the cake and after putting on a layer of chocolate butter cream frosting I covered it with my homemade mm fondant. I made fondant roses and a fondant bow to decorate the cake and packed the inside with homemade chocolate cordials. I couldn't believe the amount of the high bid. Almost made me want to go into business selling cakes. Of course I realize it went for a good cause and that always helps to get high bids.
I have added other flavors to the frosting in the past such as cherry, orange, and almond, etc., depending on the outcome I wanted. I have also paired the cake with Ganache and other Frostings. This is the most requested chocolate cake that I make and is the favorite chocolate cake choice for family potlucks, parties, birthdays and weddings.

Welcome to the After School Link Party!
Little J finished reading The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick. He loved this book and highly recommends it. We read together every now and then, but not as much as we did when he was younger. I do try to read the books along with him though, so we can discuss them together. I enjoyed this book too. Scholastic has a great link to discussion questions that we used, find it here. We also looked up "automaton" and found this neat website at The Franklin Institute and this video.
I also thought it would be fun to have a family fun night themed around this book. The younger two haven't read the book, but we have the movie on order from Netflix. When the movie arrives, we're going to make croissants for dessert (well, bake the ones we purchased from the freezer section of Trader Joe's) and Little J has been practicing a few magic tricks to put on a show for us. I think it should be a fun family evening.
After School Features
We're having a wonderful summer making memories and family connections. I picked some posts that I think have some great ideas for building family relationships for this week's features. I hope you enjoy them too.
Jodie at Growing Book by Book has given us another fun month of "Table Topics". This month's theme is "guess what I am" clues. I know my kids will love these. I think this set would be a lot of fun to do while waiting for a table or your meal when going out to eat.
Natalie at Mouse Grow, Mouse Learns has a great reflective post about "Letting children to do things their way". When she allowed her daughter to complete a project, The Great Wall of China, her way, and not the way she had intended, it resulted in a great time together and a great sense of accomplishment for her daughter. It was a good reminder for me.
Think Magnet Kids shared a teen beach movie night, where wait for it, they watched a remade movie and the original movie and talked about them! No fancy activities or go along themed food, just good conversation and fun together. Such a great reminder that family nights don't have to be fancy and that talking with each other is so important.

The American people are a nation of immigrants, but as the breadth and width of immigration continually expands, the end result is confusion. For some reason, a number of Polynesian men and women have migrated to the Mormon state of Utah. Some boys were playing on the local football team and they lost a game. Being Polynesian, the end of any sporting activity is for the men to perform a Haka, a dance. So, Polynesian men went into the Haka, the police freaked out thinking some form of Muslim terrorism was being enacted. They pepper sprayed the men and created havoc.
Police admitted they were surprised by the dance. In truth, they did not have a clue as to the Haka or the Baka or whatever. As far as their knowledge of Polynesians is concerned, let us politely say police know as much about the Polynesian culture as Herman Cain knows about the US Constitution

U.N. rights body backs critique of Gaza flotilla raid
By Robert Evans
GENEVA (Reuters) - The United Nations Human Rights Council Wednesday endorsed a fiercely critical report on Israel's raid on a Gaza aid flotilla in May but stopped short of pressing for an international criminal inquiry.
It also renewed the mandate of separate investigation team that has been looking into whether Israelis and Palestinians have been properly investigating alleged rights abuses during the 3-week Gaza conflict in 2008-2009.
But there was no indication in two separate resolutions tabled at the 47-nation council by the Organisation of Islamic States (OIC) that Israel's critics were aiming to have it taken soon before the International Criminal Court (ICC).
That possibility was raised Tuesday by a British judge on the council-appointed team that investigated the flotilla raid on May 31, in which nine pro-Palestinian activists, mainly Turks, were killed by Israeli commandos.
Palestinian rights campaigners in Geneva for the council session told reporters that they wanted Israel taken immediately to the ICC over the Gaza fighting in December 2009 and January 2009, in which more than 1,400 Palestinians died.
But diplomats said both resolutions appeared to take heed of public and private appeals from Western countries and the Palestinian Authority to avoid any action that would create new difficulties for the renewed Middle East peace process.
However, the two texts, passed easily in the council where Islamic states and their allies who include Russia and China, have a majority, did call for new discussion on both issues at its session in March and April next year. Continued...

I'm considering a cheap red dot for my 10/22. Primary role is destruction of soda pop cans, clay pigeons and rabbits.
I need you guys to school me on cheap options. I'm looking at the Vortex dots and Primary Arms dots; looking for something around $100, give or take.
Cheap is what I'm after, but durable enough to handle getting banged around a little in the back of a truck.

My 10-22 plinker wears the Tasco from Walmart, about $30 or so. I had reservations about one this inexpensive, but for its intended purpose,it has worked flawlessly, and holds its zero. The dot is 5 MOA, but for soda cans and steel plates that's perfectly fine.

I highly recommend the Bushnell TRS-25. I just got one this summer for my "tactical steel" match 10/22, and it works like a champ. They run around $100 from Midway and others.
The TRS-25 does better on a true Weaver or Picatinny mount than the tipoff adapter the Ruger supplies with the gun (or the slightly better Weaver TO-9); I already had a Tactical Solutions rail mount on my gun so the TRS mounted easily. The single cross-screw gives you a wider range of adjustment than the competing low-end red dots which mostly have 2 screws, and it's a pretty rugged screw. I particularly like the compact size and light weight, and it mounts low enough so you're not pulling your head off the stock to get a sight picture.
You trade off precision for speed with a red dot, but that's what I need on my "steel" gun. The dot itself is 3 MOA, but at low intensity settings it seems smaller than that, which allows for decent precision. With good ammo, my group size roughly doubled (from using a scope) to slightly under 2 inches at 50 yards, which is plenty accurate for the game and certainly for your plinking.

My first foray into the world of red dots was a 40mm TruGlo.
It held a great zero, was rugged enough, weather-proof, etc. The wide field of view was nice as well.
Not bad at all for the price.
I put an inexpensive Red Dot by Barska on my 10/22. I don't remember the cost but it wasn't much.
