Join forces with us against the root causes of global poverty, inequality and injustice.
Justice for Palestine
The catastrophe facing the Palestinian people is a defining global justice issue of our time. It is not an intractable conflict between two equal sides. It is an Occupation by a powerful military state, armed and supported by the West, against an impoverished, stateless and displaced people.
- A fourth generation of Palestinian children is now being brought up in refugee camps inside and outside Palestine, living in chronic poverty and denied the right to return to their family homes.
- Hundreds of thousands more Palestinians suffer discrimination over access to public services, land rights and employment within Israel itself.
- Israel's siege of Gaza has condemned its 1.9 million inhabitants to poverty and psychological violence on a daily basis as movement is restricted and there is an ever present threat of military force.
- In the West Bank, the expansion of Israeli settlements, the continued construction of the Apartheid Wall, the military closure of the Jordan Valley and the annexation of East Jerusalem are creating an irreversible reality of permanent Occupation.
- This brutal Occupation, the building of the Apartheid Wall and ongoing military oppression can only be continued with the support of countries and companies that continue to back Israel through business and investment.
Political Prisoners
A political prisoner is someone who is arrested and detained because of their beliefs or political activities. Israel holds thousands of Palestinian men, women and children as political prisoners. Israel's system of arrest and detention is an integral part of Israel's Apartheid system, under which Palestinians are governed under a separate set of laws than Israelis.
We've successfully campaigned to get G4S to stop providing services to Israeli prisons, but others are still directly complicit in the occupation of Palestine and the unlawful imprisonment of Palestinians, including children. The UK government has a responsibility under international law not to aid and abet war crimes like torture, which is routine in the Israeli prison system.
Stop Arming Israel
The UK is complicit in Israel's continuing violations of human rights and international law. By purchasing arms from and selling arms to Israel, the UK government is giving direct material support for Israel's aggression and sending a clear message of approval for its actions.
Israeli companies make enormous profits from military technology that is 'field-tested' on Palestinians. We're calling for an immediate two-way arms embargo. Take action.
Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS)
Palestinians have suffered from Israeli repression and human rights abuse for over 60 years, during which time governments all over the world have allowed Israel to act with impunity.
The response from grassroots Palestinian civil society has been to call on people of conscience around the world to join them in the movement for Boycott Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against Israel until it complies with international law. Read more.
Palestine: The importance of language
We believe that a long-term solution to the human rights crisis facing the Palestinian people is only possible through a proper understanding of the situation that has developed over the past century, and through the proper use of words to describe that situation correctly. This page explains our use of language in respect of Palestine, together with source references for readers to research further.

NORTH ANDOVER, Mass. – Paced by four top-50 finishers, including a 12th-place finish from sophomore Nick Christensen (Peabody, Mass.) that helped him earn a spot on the all-conference second team, the Merrimack College men's cross country team earned a sixth-place finish at the 2013 Northeast-10 Championships on Sunday at Saint Anselm College.
The Basics
Team Finish: 1. Stonehill (57) | 6. Merrimack (175) | 15. Pace (498)
Location: Saint Anselm (8K Course) | Manchester, N.H.
How It Happened
Christensen led the way for the Warrior men, who finished 12th with a time of 25:58. By placing between eighth and 14th as an individual, those efforts were enough for Christensen to earn NE-10 Second-Team All-Conference honors.
Junior Luis Cruz (Lawrence, Mass.) was the next-closest Merrimack finisher in 34th place, finishing with a time of 26:48. After Cruz, freshmen Daniel O'Flynn (Ipswich, Mass.) and Daniel O'Brien (Pittsfield, Mass.) boasted back-to-back finishes in 49th and 50th, respectively, before junior James Wegman(Sandwich, Mass.) rounded out the Warrior top-five with a 52nd place finish (27:18).
Stonehill went on to win their third second straight conference title with 57 points, while Franklin Pierce (74), American International (80), Southern Connecticut (98), and Adelphi (117) rounded out the top five teams.
The men competed on the 8K course on Sunday, and after placing 27th in the New England Championships two weeks ago. Prior to today's meet, Merrimack was tabbed fourth in the Pre-Championship Northeast-10 Conference Coaches' Poll.
What They Said
Head Coach Chris Cameron: "Overall, we had some good individual performances, but our team finish as far as where we placed was a little disappointing. I know they're disappointed as well and hopefully we'll be better in two weeks at the NCAA Regional Championships, which is the goal right now.
Up Next
The Warriors will enjoy an off weekend before gearing up for the NCAA Regional Championships on Sunday, Nov. 10, at Franklin Park in Boston.

multiple neutrals one lug
Hi, Just lost power to my outdoor elec receptacle and assumed the gfci circuit breaker was bad but finally troubleshot it to the recept in the bathroom which was wired usng only the push in contacts and apparently branches off to the outside recept. I'll bet you electricians have seen that a million times. While in the panel, I noticed that there are several lugs with 2 and 3 neutrals under the same lug. I thought this was not allowed but the box seems to have provision for more circuit breakers than it does to accomodate all the grounds and neutrals. (Federal Pacific 100 amp about 35 years old) Doesn't look like any way off adding additional ground bus. Any advise for me? Do you consider the multiple neutrals a dangerous condition or should I leave it alone.
Also.. Would there be any pro or con to ditching the gfci circuit breaker and installing a gfci in the bathroom instead? Which is the better way to provide the ground fault protection.? Thanks
The rule is one neutral per hole. This was not very clear in the way it was in the code. Now it is clarified.
The GFI protection can be provided by either the breaker or a GFI receptacle.
I don't see why another ground bar could not be added to give you room for the neutrals.

London is a leading global city, with strengths in the arts, commerce, education, entertainment, fashion, finance, healthcare, media, professional services, research and development, tourism and transport all contributing to its prominence.
The British Museum is the national collection of archaeology, prints and drawings, coins and medals and ethnography. This museum is the greatest and biggest of its kind in the world was founded in 1753 and occupies a neoclassical building begun in 1823 to the designs of Sir Robert Smirke.
Buckingham Palace is the official London residence of the British monarch. Located in the City of Westminster, the palace is a setting for state occasions and royal entertaining, and a major tourist attraction. It has been a rallying point for the British people at times of national rejoicing and crisis.
The Houses of Parliament, otherwise known as The Palace of Westminster, stands on the site where Edward the Confessor had the original palace built in the first half of the eleventh century. In 1547 the royal residence was moved to Whitehall Palace, but the Lords continued to meet at Westminster, while the commons met in St. Stephen's Chapel. Ever since these early times, the Palace of Westminster has been home to the English Parliament.

Helps With The Kids
Until they release "Witch Mountain" and "Watcher In The Woods" die-cut story books, these will have to do.
Your kids want stuff. No, really, they do. Ask 'em "Do you guys want stuff?" and they'll yell back YEAAAAH! and then maybe throw in a "But it's good stuff, right?" And that's where you, the parent, come into play.
It's your job to find some good stuff and pass it along to the teeny types who don't know any better. Then they can smash it and tear and it feed it to a goat (how did that even get in your yard, anyway?) and demand more stuff. It's an endless cycle and the only thing that saves you from a pauper's grave is the though that one day you'll be mooching off them. And also, these Woot-offs.
Take this opportunity to stock up on the things your kids need and hide them in the drawer where you keep the broccoli. They'll never go in THERE, right?
Of course, the goat might. Maybe you should pick up a lock while you're thinking about it. Or call a goat exterminator. Whatever works for you.

SurfShelf – Turn Your Treadmill into a WorkstationPosted by: | Comments
Working on a laptop computer most of the day does not really do much for one's figure – I have even heard it referred to as "Geek Gut" and "Blogger's Butt". Personally, I love to walk, ride bikes, and play golf, but there isn't always time or the weather is bad. Riding a stationary bike or walking on the treadmill can be so boring!
Enter SurfShelf! You can attach the SurfShelf.com to your treadmill, stationary bike or elliptical trainer and watch videos, catch up on your RSS feeds, read your email, and more.
Now, I don't think you can pound out an in-depth blog post or design a website while jogging on your treadmill, but you certainly could combine some of your more basic tasks with some exercise and take care of two tasks at once. Your heart, waistline, and inbox would thank you.
SurfShelf laptop holder – the Perfect Gift for Working Moms! Only only $39.95
I think it is a pretty cool gadget actually! What do you think? Would you use it?

Deb Pickering - Quality Instruction and Educator Evaluation
Michigan ASCD hosted a Pre-Conference, and follow-up breakout session, at the 2012 MASA Fall Conference. Deb Pickering presented a cohesive vision of Quality Instruction and the Educator Evaluation process!
September 26, 2012
Pre-Conference - 8am – noon
Many changes are coming our way. Leadership in schools and district will determine the extent to which these efforts will make a difference in the classroom. In this keynote, Dr. Pickering will address some of these leadership challenges and make specific recommendations—some predictable, some radical. Participants will have the opportunity to increase understanding of:
• The potential for change with the new standards for learning (Common Core) and teaching (Teacher Evaluation)
• Recommendations for creating and sustaining a culture of Evidence-Based Reflective Practice that includes not only classroom observations, but focused use of classroom artifacts and students' input.
• Specific Instructional Goals that are likely to get your students to where you would like them to be, e.g. communicating learning goals, providing feedback, teaching higher level thinking.
Breakout - Leadership for Instructional Improvement – 3:15 - 4:30
Building on the keynote, Dr. Pickering will provide more detailed recommendations for working collaboratively with teachers to use classroom observations, classroom artifacts, and students' voices to celebrate and improve effective instruction.

India's rupee led declines among the currencies of the biggest emerging-market economies as the Federal Reserve signaled a reduction in stimulus is still on track, spurring a wave of cash to flow back into larger nations.
The Bloomberg US Dollar Index rose for a second week and touched its highest level since August 2. An equally weighted basket of currencies of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa touched its lowest level versus the dollar since June 2010 on concern a paring of stimulus under the Fed's quantitative-easing strategy would intensify outflows from the currencies. The Commerce Department may report August 30 that US consumer spending increased 0.3 per cent in July.
"What we've been seeing is this clear-out of emerging- market positioning and back into the Group of 10," Brian Daingerfield, a Stamford, Connecticut-based currency strategist at Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc's RBS Securities unit, said in a telephone interview. "The core -- the US, UK and Euro zone -- seem to be the largest beneficiaries of that."
The dollar rose 1.2 per cent to 97.72 yen this week in New York. The US currency fell 0.4 per cent to $1.3383 per euro. Europe's 17-nation common currency rallied 1.6 per cent to 130.10 yen. The Bloomberg US Dollar Index, which tracks the greenback against 10 major peers, climbed 0.4 per cent to 1,026.15.
Minutes of the July 30-31 Federal Open Market Committee meeting released this week showed policy makers were "broadly comfortable" with Chairman Ben S Bernanke's plan to taper purchases this year if the economy strengthens, with a few saying a reduction may be needed soon.

Silvio Berlusconi has sparked anger by comparing his legal travails to Jewish suffering under the Nazi regime.
In an interview with Italian journalist Bruno Vespa, which was reported by the BBC, the former Italian prime minister said his children "feel like the families of Jews under Hitler's regime".
Mr Berlusconi was banned from office in August after he was convicted of tax fraud. He is also appealing a six-year sentence for sex with an underage prostitute and faces the loss of his parliamentary seat.
Italian Jewish leader, Riccardo Pacifici, said that the comparison "astonished" him.
Renzo Gettegna, from the Union of Italian Jewish Communities, called it "offensive to the memory" of those who suffered in the Holocaust.
Nichi Vendola head of the Left, Ecology, Freedom (SEL) party tweeted: "To trivialise a terrible tragedy such as the Shoah for an everyday political polemic as Berlusconi has done is chilling."
Mr Berlusconi defended his comments saying: "My personal history, my friendship with Israel, my actions in office to help the state of Israel, don't allow for any doubt regarding my knowledge of the tragedy of the Holocaust and my respect for the Jewish people".

There's something curious about the way so many people disregard high-end in-ear headphones like the Sennheiser IE 80. We've met people who think nothing of laying down hundreds of pounds for a surround system they'll barely use properly - for fear of offending housemates, other halves or waking babies - but would never spend more than £30 on a set of earphones. Earphones they'll use for hours every day. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense, does it? Let's find out if the IE 80 have what it takes to change their minds.
The Sennheiser IE 80 take the top-end baton from the IE 8i, one of our favourite pairs of 2011. They don't look all that different and offer very similar functionality, although this new pair leaves out the handsfree kit - the inevitable IE 80i will tighten-up that slack.
Like their predecessors, we haven't fallen in love with the looks of the IE 80 IEMs. Sennheiser has added a brushed metal plate to the back, but they remain chunky and angular in a way that won't win them any pretty points. The plastic bodies of the buds are finished in dark metallic brown, making up a trio of shades with the silver of the back and the black of the cable - a distinct design, but not a beautiful one. When they'll spend most of their time in your ears who cares, right?
Setting aside the looks question, the Sennheiser IE 80 make many of the right moves. The cable is removable, letting you replace it without having to replace the earphones themselves, and ends in a chunky right-angle jack that should be able to stand some significant punishment. With a standard plastic-coated round cable design, Sennheiser hasn't made any conspicuous moves to reduce tangling, but as cable friction is fairly low, we didn't find this a problem
They come with a decent selection of rubber and foam tips, to give you some level of isolation from the outside world. However, we found that noise isolation was not quite up to the level offered by an important rival, the Shure SE535. The tips used here are similar to those used in the CX-series earphones, which are happy to sit on the entrance to your ear canal rather than delving deep like the olive-shaped tips used by Shure and Klipsch.
These less invasive tips require a bit more care and attention about their fit - just jamming them in won't get the best seal - but equally many people, who can't get on with earphones that feel as though they're trying to tickle your brain stem, like this style.
The Sennheiser IE 80 earphones don't come with a traditional carry case, but part of the unusually-chunky plastic packaging pulls out, becoming plastic armour for your new, expensive earphones. Within the packaging, you'll also find a pair of rubbery ear hooks to let you wear them over your ears easily. Like the buds themselves they're not exactly pretty, but keep the cable in check very well - more so than most ear hooks we've encountered.
All this is just useless window dressing, of course, if they don't sound any good.
Hello, if not clogging up rock music is what we're looking for, what are our options?

Have you ever wished you could hide and show your iOS dock the same way you can on your Mac? With a new jailbreak tweak dubbed SwipeDock by iOS developer Cykey, you can. SwipeDock gives you a ton of options to configure to get the exact look and animation you want. The two screenshots above show you how it looks before the dock is hidden and then what it looks like after the dock is hidden.
SwipeDock's extensive options from the Settings application allow you to set your own animation for hiding and showing the dock, choose what happens with your paging dots, and configure how you want to invoke hiding or showing your dock. You can choose between the built-in activation methods of swiping, or you can use an Activator action. The Activator action might be a better alternative for any Zephyr users. The preferences pane is shown below:
From the preferences pane, you can enable and disable the tweak on demand, which is a great thing to be able to do. Below that is the box for choosing your dock hiding and showing animation – we will get back to that soon. Under that is the ability to change the duration of the animation with a slider for adjusting how fast or slow the animation will be. 0.1 seconds is the minimal time and 3 seconds is the slowest animation speed SwipeDock supports. Under the slider is a switch allowing you to make the dock fade while the animation takes place – it helps add depth. The add row feature lets you have an extra home screen row to replace the dock when it is hidden – enabling or disabling this feature requires a respring each time. Below that is a page dot setting box, which we will get back to, and last but not least is the ability to choose between your Activator action or being able to swipe up and down to hide and show the dock. You can pick the number of fingers you will use to swipe up and down.
Getting back to the animations and page dots, you have quite a few options to pick between. The animations are what display when you hide or show the dock. For the animations, you have all of the following choices:
- translate down
- translate left
- translate right
- translate bottom left
- translate bottom right
- rotate and zoom in
- zoom in
- zoom out
- rotate and zoom out
As far as the page dots go, you might or might not want them to show when you hide the dock just because they might make the screen look awkward. Cykey gives you all of these options for your page dots:
- don't hide
- hide with dock
- always hide
- move with dock
In terms of value, 99¢ is not a bad price for all the options Cykey is giving you. Everything depends on your desire to hide and show your dock on demand. Maybe you have applications on your dock you don't want your kids getting to, or maybe you want to hide them from your significant other. Whatever the case might be, you can use SwipeDock to help hide those applications from view. When you do hide the dock, the rest of your home screen applications elegantly move into place, spreading out to fill the screen and the glass-like dock image disappears with the docked applications.
The great part about SwipeDock would be that it not only supports the iPhone and iPod touch, but also the iPad, giving you even more space on your home screen to enjoy your wallpaper. If you choose to use fingers to swipe to hide the dock, you can choose between one, two, or three fingers, which offers great customization for the large iPad screen. The tweak is a pretty cool one and works as advertised without any noticeable bugs. No icons are added to the home screen.
Name: SwipeDock
Price: 99¢
Version: 1.0
Requirements: iOS 4+
Repo: BigBoss

Peak Learning: How to Create Your Own Lifelong Education Program for…
by Ronald Gross
No current Talk conversations about this book.
There are certainly more up-to-date books out there on the subject of personal learning. As long as you skim over the goofy self-help style anecdotes (which are about 2/3 of the book, alas), and drastically change the "exercises" so they'll actually be useful, then you'll probably get something out of this. I found some nice tips on creating a personal learning space / atmosphere in chapter 8, and some nice ideas about creating goals. But overall, I would skip this book in favor of something that stays on topic and gives more concrete advice.
This is a great book. I started reading at chapter 5 which explained why I often start in the middle of a book while other people start at the beginning. It also instructed me to skip through the book using the table of contents and index to figure out what other chapters would be helpful. I did that and learned all sorts of helpful stuff about how I learn best and how to set up a program of learning and evaluate it. Much of this was what I've already done, but now I think I can be more organized about it. I recommend this to all LTers who want to be more systematic about their reading.

My home is an extension of my bohemian style, where our furnishings are second hand, eclectic, and work harmoniously in our home. My second business is selling new reading glasses, and I've been selling them for 10 years. Here is my new website, check it out RetroFocusEyewear.com.
Accepted payment methods
- Accepts Etsy Gift Cards and Etsy Credits
- Other Method
Refunds and Exchanges
I include approximate measurements for everything I sell. Do your homework, and never assume something will fit, without measuring first. If it's about color? Monitors display differently from one household to the next, and when I color proof, the photos uploaded onto the ETSY website, are close to accurate. If color is crucial to your purchase, please email me. I describe to the best of my knowledge, and what I think is important to make the sale a successful one for both parties. If I have missed something that you need to know, PLEASE email me prior to placing your purchase. My observations, and opinions on the same item, may or may not differ from what you would expect. Need more pictures? CONVO me, and I will get them right out to you when I can get the oportunity to do so. If a week goes by, and you do not get any, ask me again, I probably forgot ;-)
I guarantee my descriptions to be as close to accurate as possible. If I leave out a significant fault, I will pay all shipping fees, upon the item's safe return to me. In regards to vintage clothing, a small spot, snag, hole, wrinkle, or pull, does not constitute misrepresentation. I mainly sell vintage, previously owned items, that may not be perfect, ( unless I am sure that they are), and have had a life before ETSY, whether it was in someone's closet, or on someone else's body, or in someone else's SMOKING household. Do not buy vintage, if you are not flexible with it's stated condition. I do look over each item, as carefully as possible. My home is a non smoking home. All items I purchase from estate sales, having an odor, are deodorized, or drycleaned. If there is an odor, I will say so. Though it is hardly my intention, we all make mistakes. I make every attempt to resolve all issues, as happy customers are returning one.
Additional policies and FAQs
How do you measure your specs?
The above link is a diagram I constructed for my Eyewear site, showing you where I take my measurements so you can compare my specs to yours for a good fitting pair. The temples, also referred to by some as the 'stems' are generally measured from the hinge to the ear tip. The bridge and lens width are measured across the center of the frame. Pupil distance (PD or P2P) is the distance between each of your pupils and ideally you'd like a pair of frames where your eyes are centered within the width of the lenses.
Are these frames suitable for my own prescription?
Many buyers wonder if my vintage frames are suitable for their RX. Simply said, all of my products are unless noted in the 'SPECS' list. Most optical boutiques and opticians will turn down frames that you walk into their establishment with. They will most likely give you reasons that may sound legit to you, but they're really just trying to intimidate you into buying a pair from their selection, saying my frames are not suitable because of a variety of bullshit excuses.
We always recommend ReplaceALens.com. We are not affiliated with them in any way, other than we are a customer of theirs, and a very satisfied one at that. Their prices are fantastic and service impeccable. They never turn down any of the frames we sell and our buyers have emailed us telling us how pleased they were with ReplaceALens and their services. Our frames are guaranteed with a replacement or refund if ReplaceALens damages your frame while they put your lenses into them. No other optician would dare offer such a guarantee.
How do I measure my PD? My optician won't give it to me (or) wants to charge me $50 for it (or) I'm sending my frames to ReplaceALens and they need my PD. How do I get that?
Pupil to Pupil distance, or in ophthalmic terms the 'PD' measurement is the distance between both your pupils. Technicians need this measurement in order to center your prescription within each lens. It is usually referred as a millimeter measurement rather than inches. It can be easily measured at home with a ruler and a second person holding the ruler up to your face resting it on the bridge of your nose with one end of the ruler at the point of one pupil and then measure across to the other pupil. PD measurements are generally in the 58-67mm range (2 1/2" to 2 5/8") and sometimes even at about 70mm (2 3/4"). Despite what your optician would tell you if you do it yourself, being off by a millimeter or 2 will not give you a headache.
When sending in your frames to an online lab, what you would do is put the frames on as you would normally wear them and have a second person mark the existing lenses with a permanent marker making a dot where each pupil lands when that person is looking head on with you. If your frames do not have lenses, place a piece of scotch tape across the entire front of the frame and have that person mark the tape with the dots. Simple. Questions? Just hollar at me :)
How will these look on me if I can't try them on?
Generally, opposites attract :) As a rule, full frames/large lenses look great on long, oval faces, triangular, or pear shaped faces. Horizontal, rectangular frames look best on round or square faces. If the frame has nose pads (95% of the time found on metal frames), those can be gently pried close or further apart which will allow the frame to sit where you want it to on your bridge. Another indicator of how high or low a pair of specs sit on your face, is to note where the bridge is positioned on the frame. If it is towards the middle of the frame, then the glasses will likely cover your eyebrows and sit high on your face. If the bridge is pretty much in line with the top of the frame, the glasses will sit below your eyebrows.
I have big head! .....or.... my head is small/narrow....will these fit me?
It helps if you measure your favorite specs hinge to hinge, and then compare that measurement to the item you have your eyes set on... the hinge to hinge measurement is a good indicator if the frame is the right width for you. The temples (ear piece/stems) should not touch the sides of your head. Then you should measure the length of the ear piece, or 'temple' as it's called in the ophthalmic industry. Average temples measure 140 mm (5 1/2") from hinge to end, including ear curve. Some are 133mm, (5 1/4" long). There are some that are 5 3/4" to 6", but rarely found in over the counter ready made readers. It all depends on the look you want, and what is comfortable for you. But to know these details ahead of time may save you the trouble of future disappointments and returns.
Please read the inside 'hinge to hinge' widths that are provided for the style you like. Make sure you know the hinge to hinge measurement of your OWN glasses when making your decision. Toss me an email if you have any questions.

Across the US, mainstream unions are looking to cuts tens of millions of dollars from their budgets in the face of feared attacks under the new regime, as some of the heads of big unions are also trying to cozy up next to Trump. Organized labor under the leadership of the labor bureaucrats has taken a position of trying to maintain social peace at all costs; more interested in keeping a lid on potential worker insurgency than fighting for better wages, conditions, and environmental regulations.

The IWW is a union for all workers. We oppose all forms of discrimination. Therefore, we stand firmly against Trump's recent travel ban targeting Muslims. This step towards official discrimination is an attack on all of us.
The IWW stands for organizing and building power for the most vulnerable workers, including all low-wage workers and immigrants. We are heartened to see the massive resistance that sprang up immediately after the order, with people showing their outrage at airports across the country. We are particularly excited by the New York City taxi workers who stopped service at JFK airport, and the airline workers who refused to comply with the ban. There is a palpable feeling that all decent people understand that we need to stand together on this until every non-citizen is allowed entry into the country without fear of reprisal or repercussion.

Victim still in Harborview Hospital; Shooter is well-known right wing gun activist.
SEATTLE, WA, January 25, 2017 — Social media activists claim to have identified the person who shot an anti-racist organizer on the University of Washington's Seattle (UW-Seattle) campus on Friday, January 20, 2017, as a well-known right-wing gun activist attending white nationalist Milo Yiannopoulos' event with his wife, also a gun activist. Although the shooter shot a person in a protest situation, University of Washington Police have refused to make an arrest, and released the shooter and the person who accompanied them to turn themselves into the police early Saturday morning. King County prosecutor Dan Satterberg has not indicated any plan to pursue prosecution. Local politicians have remained ominously quiet.

From twincitiesgdc.org
(UPDATE 1/23/2017: A revised press release correcting minor errors is linked at the bottom of this page.)
On the evening of Friday, January 20th, a comrade of ours was shot in the stomach in the most public place on the University of Washington's campus in Seattle – a place called "Red Square" for the color of its bricks rather than its politics.
This Fellow Worker (what members of the IWW call ourselves) and Defender (for GDC members) is a longtime anti-fascist and dedicated activist, a member of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) and the General Defense Committee of the IWW. He's currently in critical condition at Harborview Hospital in Seattle. They have a Level One Trauma center, so it's likely he is receiving the best quality care available, for which we are deeply grateful.
How do we respond? We are building an expanded anti-authoritarian, anti-capitalist, anti-racist, anti-sexist, and anti-fascist presence in Seattle, and this person was spearheading that effort. Are others willing step up and replace his effort while he heals? Our response will help determine that.
There is a limited amount of time for us to make clear to the world what is clear to us: we are under armed attack. The fascist right knows where to find us – protests such as anti-Donald Trump events, or actions against police brutality. In the Twin Cities, the trial has just begun of Allen Scarsella, one of the white supremacists who came to the Fourth Precinct in Minneapolis in November, 2015 and opened fire, shooting multiple people.
We don't have confirmation that the person who shot our comrade was a counter-protester angry at those protesting Milo's hateful white nationalist misogyny. We do know that he turned himself into the police several hours later, claiming 'self-defense.' This, of course, is exactly what Scarsella did as well.
Our friend will have enormous hospital bills and undoubtedly some legal costs as well. There will be a significant loss of income. Let's raise him so much that he won't have to worry about that angle of things. Please give. All money will be controlled directly by them and their partner; none will go to any other cause, excepting any fees associated with the fundraising service used.

Church shootingPosted by: SayUncleIn Knoxville. One dead. Five injured.The Mrs. often asks why I carry to church. It's because shootings keep happening at churches.
I am so tired of hearing, whenever there's tragic gun violence, "This wouldn't have happened if only everyone in that place had been armed!"[...]A big giant "fuck you" to anyone who says these Unitarians "should have" been packing heat, or who mocks their church as a "gun-free zone".
Kurt "45superman" Hofmann Says:July 27th, 2008 at 8:35 pmIt wouldn't surprise me if the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church is posted "gun-free," given this and this.workinwifdakids Says:July 27th, 2008 at 9:39 pmThere's a dependant variable here somewhere, and I think it has something to do with being shot at whether we carry to church or not.
I wonder if that Unitarian Church has posted signs declaring its premises a "gun-free zone?"Another "Self defense-free-zone" attackedSee, If Church Members were allowed to carry guns then they could have blasted this wacko back to hell where he came from..
ProjectionPosted by: SayUncleIn addition to being violently angry, this person cannot read. Of course, if I looked like this, I'd probably be angry too.
That is one B.U.W.I think I just threw up a little in my mouth.A little more warning would've been nice before that picture.It's the next tubgirl.Jesus H.!! Those pictures literally made me flinch.Vibrant? *cough*. Ok if you say so.The face pic alone is enough to frighten small children.Dude you're ugly. Get used to it because it ain't going to change.That dude- err…chick is ugly. Whoever hit her with the ugly stick had a swing like Ted Williams.
Update: I wonder how this gal(?) will react when tomorrow the Brady Campaign releases a presser that dances in the blood of the dead? Think we'll see the same righteous indignation (and fabulous hair color!) then?Update: [...] And don't bother commenting at the first link. I've been told Reasoned Discourse™ has already broken out. Personality and looks! Someone snatch this filly up!Update: Being told it's a dude. And here's the comments he (srsly?) doesn't want you to see.
In a recent post, I did a couple of things. One, I made the point that attacking a group of people (gun nuts) based on prejudice was inappropriate. Two, I made fun of Kynn's appearance, which is attacking a person.I'm pretty sure Kynn understands my first point now given that (though I did not know it at the time), she belongs to a group that is often attacked (often physically) based on prejudice. Well, I hope she does.However, making fun of someone's appearance is bad form. For that, I apologize.
However, that was rather the point since you chose to lash out at an entire group of people who did nothing to you and did not advocate the position you ascribed. I'm sure some have that position but not any that I read. And, to further prove my point, you lashed out hatefully against us. Sound familiar? I hope so.
One point I did not see (and I read the whole thing and now I need a shower…) is mention of the concept of 'deterrent'. If a building does not have a "no guns" sign, then a rampaging psycho will have to consider that some of the people (intended victims) will be armed.Anyway, I do wish that someone at that church had been armed and able to end the situation with less loss of life.Gun owner: I think you're wrong and someone with a firearm could have taken down the shooter perhaps without anyone else losing their life.[That one is a gun owner summarizing what he believes Mr. Uncle said.]What our reaction is is the constant drumbeat of people saying it's irresponsible, illegal to carry a gun, certainly you don't need one in CHURCH (for one example).Well yes, yes, sometimes you do. And when the guy kicks the door in with the shotgun in his hand, it's a bit late to say "Gee, should have carried today."So you set people up for future tragedies with your ignorant emotional opinions.That's what makes you a tragedy-encouraging asshole.The reality is that a member of the congregation near the door of the church would've have seen the shooter walk in with a shotgun. That person would have drawn his pistol and, at point blank range, shot the man dead.No large mass of armed people blindly shooting up their church, families, friends and priest. The idea of which is not only absurd but insulting as well. Instead the first man to tackle the shooter could have shot him rather than take a fatal shotgun blast to the body.
And for the record, I've read everything you wrote. From you coming here and falsely accusing me and my readers of blaming victims to asserting that we think more guns could have prevented a tragedy.
"I say this: If you hear of a tragic attack like this, and your immediate thought is "wow, if those people in that UU church had guns, then it would have been much better!", then okay, yeah, you're one of the people I think is a stupid gun fuck."What's wrong with thinking that people being attacked by psychotic homicidal maniacs should have the means of protecting themselves?That seems perfectly rational to me. I guess "stupid gun fuck" is Kynn speak for "rational human being". Gotcha.
A "gun fuck" ... someone who is in favor of expanded gun rights, is a person who holds a certain set of beliefs. If you're a gun nut and you're in favor of expanded gun control, well, you're not really who I was talking about, are you?

1. Re: RMAN selective backupmseberg Dec 7, 2012 2:22 PM (in response to Adrian Pruna-Oracle)Hello;
With RMAN you can individually backup tablespaces. Or you can do individual datafiles.
I believe the answer is no to partitions.
Quote "You cannot use TSPITR to recover tablespaces containing any of the following objects - partitioned tables
Source - Database Backup and Recovery User's Guide 11g Release 2 (11.2) E10642-03
You can restore and recover datafile or tablespace in RMAN but not table. You cannot backup just a table will RMAN.
Depending upon your need, Data Pump may provide the solution you need. The INCLUDE parameter filters objects on an export.
Best Regards

Adi Pruna wrote:Yes.
Does this apply to my first question as well?
If you have a Big Table or whatever you have a option to store only this table on specific Tablespace. Then you can issue on rman "BACKUP TABLESPACE <tbs_name>;"
This way you will be performing a Backup of Tablespaces as this tablespace have only one table, you will backup a specific table only.
If you need to restore only this table (I mean Tablespace) you can use Incomplete Restore feature of RMAN by cloning or restoring excluding all tablespace except the tablespace which is stored your table.
Second option is to use DATA PUMP ( slow to backup/restore) as mentioned by mseberg.

By PATRICK HALL, The Wilson Post
As a result of a recent investigation by the Tennessee Department of Health into several immediate jeopardy violations, which in one case resulted in the death of a resident, Lebanon Health and Rehabilitation was fined almost $500,000 for the violations.
Shelley Walker, spokesperson for the TDOH, said the local facility was fined $3,050 for each day the violations had occurred. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services cited the facility from March 3 through Aug. 2.
The death of a resident that resulted from a deficient practice did lead to action against the facility, Walker said.
From July 29 through Aug. 3, the facility was under investigation by the department for several immediate jeopardy violations, one of which resulting in a residents death on March 8.
The total civil monetary penalty was in excess of $460,000 according to Walker. Also, from Aug. 3 until Lebanon Health and Rehab becomes compliant with regulations, the facility must pay an additional $150 per day.
From the time the unnamed resident was admitted to Lebanon Health and Rehabilitation, the residents potassium levels frequently fluctuated. During its investigation, the state found many inconsistencies about the time frame in which a doctor was notified of the residents critical potassium levels.
When the resident showed a critically high potassium level on March 3, the states report indicated facility staff testified the lab results were faxed to the physician that day, however the states review of the facility and physicians records showed it had not been faxed until March 7.
Also, the states report showed several inconsistencies in the times an ambulance was called to take the resident to the emergency room on March 8. The resident passed away in the ambulance on the way to the hospital.
Walker said the facility has yet to return to substantial compliance with regulations and continues to pay the $150-per-day fine.
They havesubmitted a Plan of Correction, whichwill be reviewed and if acceptable, a revisit will be conducted to verify the corrective actions, she said.

ARTHive needs you!
Posted on March 21, 2012
ARTHive is Wheaton College's Art History Club, founded in 2011 and enthusiastically beginning its life on campus with a first ever ANNUAL AUCTION. The theme for this event is INVEST IN YOUR COMMUNITY: the art of community, a celebration of how the arts help to build communities on Wheaton's campus, Norton and beyond. This year the proceeds from The Art of Community will benefit two very worthy causes. First, an organization in Providence, R.I. iCityarts! that has been delivering art education to students between the ages of 8 -14 years, presenting learning experiences in visual arts, design, performing arts and written arts through after school and summer programs.
I write this article for the Staff News as Chairman of THE FRIENDS OF ART WHEATON COLLEGE. The FOA celebrated the retirement of Professor Emerita Ann Murray, June 2010, by naming a conservation and restoration fund, The Ann H. Murray Preservation Fund. The Fund will be the second beneficiary of the in-come from the auction. The money raised will be divided equally to each organization. As the Friends of Art are looking for ways to increase the bottom line of the Murray Fund we are delighted to be considered by Professor Ellen McBeen and student auction organizers: Blake Funston, Morgan Bakerman, Sarah Esrela, Emily Swalec, Ellen Eckhout, Alexia Rempoutzakou, Kirstie Parkinson.
It is indeed a privilege for the FOA to have made a financial commitment to the outstanding collection of permanent art in Wheaton College's collection. The most important job of any museum is preservation, without keeping art in prime condition a collection will deteriorate. The Board of The Friends of Art is committed to a large donation (for a small organization) to the Murray Fund; in the past annual donations have been between $2,000 and $5,000. The Murray Fund hardly has the opportunity to grow as the need for restoring works continually grows; we are delighted to be presented with an unexpected fund gift from ARTHives first Auction.
Some important details and dates:
COMMUNITY ACTION AUCTION DATE: APRIL 10, 7:00 – 8:30 PM, Holman Room, Mary Lyon
AUCTION PREVIEW PARTY: MARCH 27, 7:00 PM, Hass Concourse
AUCTION PREVIEW EXHIBITION: MARCH 27 – APRIL 10, Watson fine Arts
SUBMISSION DATES FOR DONATIONS: MARCH 22 and 23, at Prof. Ellen McBreen's Office, Watson 119
Be creative….donate your talents or treasure! Professor Evie Staudinger has donated a tour of the NEW Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Professor Ellen McBreen will give a private tour of the 19th and 20th Century collection at RISD and Karen Dyer '60 docent at the Peabody Essex Museum, Salem will offer a tour of the PEM and lunch. Donations from Prof. Andy Howard's collection of photo-graphs and Gallery Director Michelle L'Heureux paintings are certainly going to 'bid-up'! Don't miss the chance to be there for our Art History students and their commitment to community. What can you donate???? Think graphic arts, think recently published books, think poster art, think serious and think fun. For more information go to the Auction web site: http://wheatoncollege.edu/art/2012/02/27/calling_artists/, the site will lead you to a sign up form.
Save the date March 29, for the FOA annual Mary Heuser Memorial Lecture. This year Associate Professor Alison Syme, author of A Touch of Blossom: John Singer Sargent and The Queer Flora of the Fin-de-Siecle Art and an internationally known Americanist will be the speaker. The lecture will be followed by a reception with the opportunity to meet Ms. Syme. Everyone's invited! More to follow about The Friends of Art and the Heuser Lecture in the next edition of The Staff News.

Football is not just about strength.
In fact speed training for football might be just as important as traditional weight lifting...
The highest ranked players are more likely to outperform their peers in tests like the 10 yard and 40 yards sprints than they are in the squat or bench press.
You could say that speed separates the outstanding from the very good.
But you certainly don't have to be the fastest to perform at your best...
Which do you think is more important? Acceleration or top speed?
Consider this for a moment...
The average distance a football player covers in most plays is 15-20 yards (maybe less for a lineman and more for a receiver). Unlike an Olympic sprinter, football players will rarely, if ever, reach their top speed.
On the whole, the quickest player over 15-20 yards will be the one who can accelerate the most rapidly.
Straight away then, that should tell you something about speed training for football - running lots of 100m sprints is NOT an effective method of training.
Instead, spend your time on drills that increase acceleration and speed off the mark.
It's true - genetics do play a part in how fast you can run. But don't let that discourage you...
Everyone can get faster. And anyone can improve their speed off the mark.
And just a small improvement with training relates to a significant improvement on the field.
With that said, what does it take to increase your sprinting speed?
1. Increase Your Strength
The more powerful your leg muscles are the more force they can apply to each ground contact.
Power is a product of both strength and speed of contraction. If you make improvements in either of these components you WILL become a faster athlete.
Improve both and you double the effects - and this it what speed training for football is essentially all about.
Assuming strength training already contributes a significant amount to your schedule, lets look at the other side of the equation...
2. Improve Your Speed of Contractions
Any increase in strength will only translate into gains in speed IF you can still contract your muscles as quickly - ideally even quicker.
Sprint training over short distances will help you do that. So will some light plyometrics exercises.
The science behind plyometrics or jump training can get a little complex but the actual training is straightforward.
Be careful with plyometric training...
It's easy to overtrain without knowing it. Too many of these exercises (particularly the intense types) can cause stress injuries.
Click here for more important guidelines when plyometric training
3. Improve Your Running Mechanics
Most football players, in fact most sports men and women have never been taught correct sprinting form.
All other things being equal, the more efficiently you can run, the faster you can run.
There are basically two phases to sprinting - the acceleration phase and top speed phase. Remember acceleration is probably more important in speed training for football than top speed. Here are some pointers for good acceleration form...
After the first 10-15 yards, running mechanics change noticeably as you gain speed...
As part of a season long plan, speed training for football features heavily in late pre-season preparation and gradually increases over the whole of pre-season. It should also follow a period of base strength training for maximum results.

Remembering Jenny Jackson
It was a somber day for the people of Dixie County as they mourn the loss of a young woman. 18-year-old Jenny Jackson was murdered and dumped on the side of the road by who Taylor County Investigators say was her ex-boyfriend. On Wednesday, friends and family came together to remember her spirit. The funeral was held at Scrub Creek Baptist Church in Cross City. A candle light vigil followed at Cross City Park.
23-year-old Torrey Pendarvis was arrested early Friday and is being charged with Jackson's murder. Pendarvis is being held at the Taylor County jail. This case will go to the Taylor County Grand Jury at the end of the month.
A car wash in Jackson's memory will be held at Cross City Rehabilitation Center, where she worked, on Friday at 10am.

Many are unhappy about the way their skin looks, but they don't connect their eating habits as a cause. When we eat foods that lack nutritional value, the body reacts by pushing the toxins out via the skin. Eat veggies with every meal if you are breaking out and cut out carbohydrates like bread and pasta if your skin looks dull.
Over-exfoliating: Exfoliation is an essential step to glowing, healthy skin. But like all good things, too much is damaging. Both scrubs and glycolic acids remove the top layer of dead cells and surface dirt from the skin, restoring a youthful appearance. But peeling more than twice a week will take away layers faster than the body can produce collagen to replace them. The result is paper-thin skin that shows every flaw. Exfoliate no more than twice a week.
Not Washing Before Bed: It's essential to wash away the dirt and potential pimple-causing bacteria that your skin has collected during the day. Night is for repair, and your skin's recovery depends on being clean.
