well written piece. Liked the pics and detailed analysis...
This next comment may cause me fire, but is anyone else out there not bummed that a Sixer - any Sixer - hasn't stepped up to take some of the limelight? I mean, all season long we've heard various sports media remind us that the Sixers are a team w/o a superstar. A team with no go-to guy who can carry and lead them.
Is the reason b/c the Sixers lack that guy or because no one want to be that guy?
I'd guess Iggy, Turner, Lou, and Jrue have all wanted to/tried to 'that guy' at times. We've all seen how that turned out. Offensively, the Sixers don't have one truly dominant player.
Was truly sad to see Rose, a great and unique player, go down. Wasn't overly surprised though as his daring, full-tilt forays to the basket, while thrilling to watch, have always upped his risk levels. I wish him a full, speedy recovery. And I don't blame Thibodeau one iota... loved his "I don't work backwards" postgame retort to a second-guesser.
Offense too Jrue-centric to start. He dominates ball and jitterbugs a la AI Sr. without same finish/foul draw-ability. Collins' method beyond his chatter-madness: gooses chosen one(s), whispers "open sesame; score for me." Impulse-O.
Prediction: Turner's jutting, animated chin will precipitate more trouble at some point in this series. He's miles behind his high school rival, #1 of the Chicago Bulls, except in schlocky attitude where he's situated near the top. Boulder on his shoulder.
Thumbs up to Coatesville's Richard "Rip" Hamilton for veteran product placement and shooting accuracy in a big contest.
Bulls' balanced scoring is indicative of Sixers' late season-trending imbalanced defense. If their D doesn't improve, Rose-less Bulls will continue to stomp. More S. Young & Battie might serve the cause some; if you're in a battle, you need battlers.
Totally agree on Sam Young and Battie, particularly Young.
Does this mean we now just get beat by C.J. Watson and John Lucas III?
It could, in conjunction with the rest of a deep squad. Both are capable of helpful pockets of scoring. Bulls' board superiority/habit adds to the stoppage trouble. Coach Curry has his hands full.
"Depressedfan" - Dollar Bill
Good post. IMO I think you are not giving Chicago's defense quite enough credit. The Sixers may have generated some of the types of looks they wanted, but Chicago's length bothered them to where they could not finish. Had the refs not been uncharacteristically willing to call fouls then the Sixers wuld have been unable to score at all. How many shots did the Sixers hit in the second half? They only hit 33 FG's all game.
Again, I don't think that was bad shooting as much as it was the Sixers unable to hit shots over the Bulls length. It reminded me of when the Sixers struggled against the long Pistons defenses 5+ years ago where AI would get in the lane but could not finish. Similarly, those AI led Sixers could only generate points when fouls were called- but at least that team knew how to draw fouls.
So unless the loss of Rose leads to increased TO's and fast break looks for the Sixers- I don't see how they break 90 pts consistently this series. In fact I think they scorer less in the coming games because I don't expect them to go to the line 31 times- that is hugely out of character. But on the flip side, Jrue and Hawes missing easy looks inside against a team with length is not out of character.
It sounds like Turner is going to start next game. Now that Rose is out, does anyone think he might guard CJ Watson (with Jrue on Rip)? Thought Turner did an ok job on Watson but he has trouble getting around screens, I don't know if he'll be able to stay on Rip.
Sounds about right. Collins said he does not want ET chasing shooters and Jrue seems the best at contesting shooters off
f of screens. Also, ET thrives when guarded by smaller players.
Playoff preview from Simmons, in which he completely ignores the Sixers BUT somehow talks himself into picking what might be the weirdest Finals matchup ever: http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/7863321/nba-playoffs-preview
not really that weird. few people are picking Memphis but the West is pretty up for grabs amongst those top 5 or 6 teams. and Miami is Miami.

Long but interesting article in the NYTimes today about Thibodeau - when did he coach here??
94-96 according to his wikipedia
Dear Andrew Bynum
Please have an awesome playoffs and then go to the lakers and say it's me or kobe - just in case the sixers can get real lucky
...is that more or less likely than the new owners making a play for an injured DH12 and then Dwight pulling a Danny Tartabull/Albert Belle and deciding that oh no, his kneesbackwhatever are so bad he'd rather retire than play here?
Iggy hasn't been healthy at the end of the season since when, the ORL series?
They have no chance if his knee is going to negatively impact his play.
Had a stretch where he was getting beaten badly by Deng too.
And I've never been so disheartened about Jrue...that one play where he turned the corner, beats his man and doesn't even try to go after Noah who's all alone at the rim. Is he afraid of contact?
Wow, did anyone just see this comeback by the Clips? Holy shit
yep that was pretty freakin hilarious...especially since REGGIE EVANS of all people was right in the middle of it!
Brian, check your email...
this is interesting
Hopefully it wasn't just martell webster
Alright, this single play killed them in Game 1:
It highlights (indirectly, because it's focusing on what the Bulls did well) how bad of a job Jodie did trailing Rip. It's not in the article, but Pruiti said he would trail on all screens of Rip going down, and shoot the gap on the pindowns where Rip or Korver is going up, thus making him flare. So, basically the exact opposite of what Jodie did.
I like that strategy especially if Boozer is the "single" guy in the single double set. Let's see him set a good flare screen when he knows there's no shot in it for him on the play.
That's a good article. What I'm wondering is whether Hamilton, Korver, and Deng can continue to shoot 70%+ on catch-and-shoot long 2's. Generally, I don't think the Sixers mind those type of shots, but they have no shot if the other team hits a lot of those. On the other hand, the Sixers didn't do a good job defensively at any distance other than "at the rim" (because of Brand's blocks).
By the way, one of the ESPN writers was advocating the center-less Brand-Thad-Iguodala-Jrue-Lou lineup that a few of us have wanted for a while now.
I felt the same way after the game. I heard people say the Bulls could have played better, but they were unusually hot from mid-range and long twos. It's a tough proposition, because generally the Sixers are OK with that shot. My problem with the shots are the curls for Rip when Jodie trails of a pin down. That's a 10 footer, and one he looks comfortable hitting. Make him flare out and take longer ones.
This year, Rip is 43 percent from 10-15 feet and 38 percent from 16-23. Interestingly, much less of his shots from 10-15 are assisted on. So I guess the book on him is to let him flare out and shoot a long deuce, and let him take that shot instead of putting it on the floor. It just looks like when he can step into it, the shot looks a lot better. Get him moving away from the rim.
Korver is 41 and 40, and he may have been just having one of those games. The big key with him and the other guys is not having a big sacrifice rebounding position i an effort to halfheartedly show on the screen. When they start missing these shots, they have to get a body on their bigs.
I didn't watch much of the game, but it was funny to see Speights behind the play on a bunch of the Clips' transition points during the Memphis collapse. I don't know why he was playing.
Man, that was really tough to watch. Never seen an implosion like that before. Wonder how they're going to pick themselves up for game 2.
I wonder too. How were they up so much though? A lot of those mistakes are totally correctable.
Didn't see the first quarter. In the second half, though, they were just unconscious from three. The crazy thing is they weren't extending the lead all that much. They pretty much stopped going inside and started heaving threes.
Then the Clips took away their inside stuff by playing really physical (Kenyon and Evans) and the Clips got some guys hot from the outside (Nick Young and I think Mo Williams). The 22-1 run was a blur.
My favorite post game comment reported is the part where Chris Paul had to beg Del Negro to put him back in the game.
Blake Griffin travels a lot
The heat are a living nightmare Im so happy we aren't playing them....
Brian, fantastic detailed analysis. Thanks so much.
The way I see it, this is a big moment in the careers of the Sixers veterans-Andre Igoudala and Elton Brand, Igoudala in particular. Igoudala has never won a playoff series in his career. For the first time, due to the injury, Igoudala is potentially the best player in a series, and I believe the only 1012 All-Star. I want him bent on proving that he is indeed the best player. He needs to outplay Luol Deng on both ends of the floor.
Elton Brand has won one playoff series in his career. in 2006, when Brand's best ever, MVP candidate caliber seasib ended with a very entertaining 7 game loss to the Suns in the second round for the Clippers. This may be his last chance to advance in the playoffs as an effective, integral part of a team. The Sixers likely need Brand to have at least one big fourth quarter effort if they're going to win this series. Brand came up large in a couple huge games that kept the Sixers season from complete collapse-his huge 3rd quarter at home vs Boston, alongside Jrue's, and an MVP like 4th quarter vs the Hawks at home a week later. He has a favorable matchup vs Boozer, which he exploited in the first half Sat before fading.
Deng was there this year too, but it's a good point that the veterans could see this as an opportunity. If Brand can last I can definitely see him carrying the team for at least one win. Turner maybe can go off for one solo. Then we're only looking for two balanced team wins which sounds reasonably possible. If tomorrow's a blowout loss I'd say forget about it, otherwise, I see this going 7.
Right, right, Deng did make it...believe first time for both he and Dre
Would be nice to think that Igoudala could carry the load for one win as well-get it going on offense with some successful drives, get the defense worried about that, then knock in some threes and go off-but really, it's going to be vital to get consistent high level performances out of him
I really like the stuff you put in here. Very applicable information. Consider yourself book-marked.

If You're an Everyday Walker...
Routine: If you're already walking for at least 30 minutes a day, you may be ready to make your routine less routine. Concentrate on increasing distance and speed, gradually working up to 45 minutes. Pick up the pace until you're walking a mile in 15 to 18 minutes. (Wear a pedometer, or use your car to measure your route.) To speed up, take faster steps, not longer strides. "There's a physical limit to stride length, but as your fitness improves you can always take quicker steps," says Fenton, who is also the author of The Complete Guide to Walking for Health, Weight Loss, and Fitness.
Walking tip: Bend your arms to about 90 degrees. That turns them into shorter, more compact pendulums. You'll be able to swing them faster and thus help your legs and feet move faster. (Just try running with straight arms.)
Goal: Set your sights on taking 10,000 steps every day, which adds up to about five miles. You'll take half of those steps just by going about your daily life―grocery shopping, climbing stairs. The rest, about 2½ miles, you'll need to add by fitness walking.

WHDH in Boston is reporting that New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has been in a two-car accident.
There is no immediate report on his condition.
Update at 8:38 a.m. ET: The Boston Globe reports that Brady was the driver of one of the two cars. He was treated at the scene and not hospitalized, The Globe says, quoting unidentified sources.
A Boston fire department spokesman says the accident, involving a sedan and a passenger van, occurred at 6:34 a.m. at Commonwealth Ave. and Gloucester St.
Update at 9:06 a.m. ET: WHDH's Joe Amorosino reports that Brady was described as "pretty banged up," but refused medical treatment.

Hi Charmaine
I am not sure I have shared this with you previously since I have recently
been able to scan in some old family group sheets. I have a James Wyatt who
married Eliza Manning 24 Feb 1856. They had a daughter Eliza who married
Oscar Adams and had a son Watt (possibly Wyatt) Adams.
I also have info on another Wyatt: From HISTORY OF CLERMONT COUNTY, OHIO;
Washington: p. 365: In 1802, or about that time, Lemuel Stephenson, of
Delaware, settled above the Camerers, and afterwards lived in Franklin,
where he was the first township clerk, He died about 1838. His sons lived in
Tate or removed to Illinois, and his daughters married William Abraham,
James Barber, Sterling Bagby, William Wood, Nicholas Tompkins, JOHNSON
WYATT, and Joseph Powell.
I have no further information on theses and I do not have a Jane Wood that
fits your dates. Good hunting

Your posting caught my eye because of the name and locations. I was
wondering if you by any chance have any knowledge of a Jane WOOD.
My ggg grandmother was Jane Wood b 1820 Clermont Co, OH. She married
Shelby WYATT in 1839 in Edgar Co, IL (right below Vermilion Co). Their
marriage info does not list parents' names and she was married before
children's names were listed w/parents on censuses. I also have not been
able to determine who Jane's siblings might have been.
Jane & Shelby's children were Wm. J., Margaret E., John &
?Penina/Pemina/Penona. Jane died 1878 or 1888 and Shelby then m Rachel
A. COWAN widow of Andrew B WOOD (so far have found no connection to Jane)
in Vermilion Co.
As you probably know, there were many Wood lines & families in Clermont
Co during that time period and several different lines went to Edgar &
Vermilion Cos, IL about the same time (and seemed to go back & forth
between the two counties) .
I am at my wits end trying to find out which Wood family Jane belongs to.
No one seems to have any connection to or knowledge of my Jane. Just
hoping you might know of her or have some suggestions.
Thanks. Charmaine

Iran: US$10.5 billion non-oil exports
Head of Iran's Trade Development Organization said on Wednesday that 4,000 Iranian-made goods were exported to 163 countries in the last Iranian year which ended on March 20.
According to IRNA, Mehdi Ghazanfari added that out of the total of US$10.5 billion non-oil exports, some US$3 billion worth of goods were exported to the Gulf states while commodities valued at US$1.2 billion went to the European Union last year.
He added another US$1.5 billion worth of non-oil goods were exported to the member states of the Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO) and US$4.8 billion to other states such as African countries. "Our non-oil exports in the last Iranian year showed a 37-percent growth compared to the figure for the previous year," he said.
He further said 5,700 articles valued at US$39 billion were imported last year.

The least surprising thing you've heard this week...
In a move that is anything but suprising, A&E annouced Friday it was lifting the suspension "Duck Dynasty" redneck-in-chief Phil Robertson. Call me a cynic...no seriously, go ahead, 'cause I am... but this smacks of something the A&E PR department cooked up as a way to drum up a little buzz...a little spin... It's almost like they did all of this with clear intent.
Submittted for your consideration:
--A&E execs hire Robertson and his whole backwater clan with dollar signs in their eyes, knowing exactly what they'll get. They pay Robertson $200,000 per episode to be who he is.
--Robertson does an interview with GQ and makes his statement about homosexuals and black folks all but unprompted by the interviewer. Understand, this isn't new ground he's covering.
--A&E feigns outrage and makes a big deal about "suspending" Robertson, all the while airing a "Duck Dynasty" marathon over Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Outrage indeed.
--The network announces the lifting of the suspension late in the day, on the Friday between Christmas and New Year's Day. Talk about burying the lede.
What do you want to bet this "drama" will somehow find its way into the "storyline" of the new season of "Duck Dynasty?" Talk about being played for suckers...

There is also a "Women Doing Their Make-Up On the tube" Tumblr.
Quaid had another brilliant turn on the tube when he played Lyndon Johnson in the miniseries LBJ: The Early Years, in 1987.
The tube was to be inserted so it could suction out the blood and air packed in the chest and prevent the lung from collapsing.
"In order to save the day, I had to siphon gasoline out of a car, which involved me sucking it out of a tube," said Donahue.
Patients often become frightened of moving suddenly because of a concern the tube might slip out.
At first there is no pain; subsequently there comes on considerable uneasiness at some portion of the tube.
They hammer this tube into the ground and let some steam pass through the nozzle.
Borders, such as are seen on test-tubes, are made by pressing the softened edge of the tube against a small iron rod.
The wheelman rang the speed-bell, and then spoke through the tube to the engineer.
When the crystals accumulate so as to impair the cell, the tube is slipped off and a new one put on.
1610s, from Middle French tube (mid-15c.), from Latin tubus "tube, pipe," of unknown origin. The London subway was christened the Twopenny Tube before it even opened (H.D. Browne, in the "Londoner" of June 30, 1900); tube for "cylindrical railway tunnel" is attested from 1847. The meaning "TV as a medium" is from 1959, short for cathode ray tube or picture tube. Tube top as a women's clothing style is attested from 1972. Tube steak is attested from 1963 as "frankfurter," slang meaning "penis" is recorded by mid-1980s. Tubing as a recreational pastime is recorded from 1975.
tube (tōōb, tyōōb)
A hollow cylinder, especially one that conveys a fluid or functions as a passage.
An anatomical structure or organ having the shape or function of a tube; a duct.

Always wait for a loooong time to get in exam room. Sadly, pharm reps are let in before patients usually causing the delay. Prescribes too quickly. If I had stayed with the practice I'd be a medicated mess. Wasn't happy with care of my elderly father either and has put other family members on so many unnecessary meds- must be all those pharmaceutical representatives lining the doctor's pockets.
Went for a physical. The doctor arrived late to the office and I had a short exam. The EKG tech had trouble doing my EKG and after trying several times she had to ask for help. The girl who drew the blood also needed help after making my arm swell up like a balloon because she went into a muscle instead of a vein. The arm later turned black and blue and it still hurts after 2 weeks. Also, The lab tech in the office requested incorrect lab tests. She forgot to ask the lab for a lipid cholesteral panel which is why I went for the physical in the first place. She also forgot to send urine for a special urine test I needed. Incompetent staff, very negligent. SCARY. The lab report had some results that needed immediate attention and they never called me. When I called them for results, they said I was not a concierge patient so they did not have to call me even if I had irregular lab results. SCARY. Don't go if you are not concierge and pay extra fees.
Dr. Postighone is technically a good doctor, but his practice's move to "concierge service" a couple of years ago plus being told by the front desk staff that he does not call back patients NOT on this service (but I could schedule an office visit and pay again the co-pay, for a question I had about a test result less than a week before) was my reason to leave the practice. And before I had that experience and was an active patient, my mother who was visiting me, was taken by ambulance to the hospital he has admitting privileges to at the time - Morristown Medical Center. The ER doc paged him several times and he never called. The page used my name as the patient to motivate a call back. The ER doc stated that was usual for him, so NOT the reputation I want for my internist with the Emergency Dept. of the hospital he admits his patients to. Now the practice is affiliated with Barnabas Medical Center. Let's hope he answers the pages of the ER docs there!
I used to be afraid to go to the doctor but both Dr. Postighone and his staff put you at ease. He is extremely knowledgeable and I highly recommend him.
My whole family/members are being take care of this good doctor
I have NEVER had a doctor this good. Kind, compassionate, extremely knowledgeable. A true gift to the medical community. Highly recommend!
It's nice to find a doctor who listens to you, answers your questions and treats you like a partner in your healthcare. The front office staff are professional and the phlebotomist is very good. There are some quirky office practices, like paying you co-pay in cash only & $ 1/page for a copy of a lab report. But on the whole, an excellent doctor with a professional staff.
It took 15 mins to fill out the computerized application, then I waited 30 mins to see the dr. for some routine blood work. (Someone at work had recommended him.) He was pleasant. My blood work was fine, and I wanted a copy of the results...Dr. Postighone's office charged me $1 a page ($7 total) for this. I saw another D.O. in a different office (same building) who said $1 a page was "a little high." This other doctor's office staff said they'd charge for copying "a lot" of records, and seemed surprised I was charged for something so minor. Dr. Postighone just left the practice where I saw him, so maybe the $1 per page was a policy there. I would ask before I set up an appointment!

WPA fix
just in case people are having this problem,
i found with my router that the iLiad could not connect via WPA/TKIP ,
and i found a fix
but first here are the preconditions, ie. things you should ensure first!
a) the iLiad could see the network i.e. search worked
b) i had countless other devices on the the network
c) i knew i had the correct shared key
d) i knew there was no MAC address blocking by the router
e) i knew i had a strong signal, i was sitting next to the wlan
basically what i found was that the iLiad was just not waiting long enough.
so to fix, you need:
a) have developer/shell access - request if necessary
b) have either ssh access via wired link (recommended), or mvxrt installed
i) get a shell open via ssh or mvxrt
ii) cd /usr/bin
iii) vi wireless.sh
search for rip=4 (its in a function called waitFor...())
change this to a higher value , e.g. rip=15
this means the iLiad will wait for 15 seconds for a connection, rather than 4 which wasnt long enough on my router.
sorry, i know this is not really for the 'user community', but thought id let the knowledge be out there
think we probably need a patch file or something,
also whilst delving through this is became apparently, that perhaps a small app to diagnose such issues might be in order, you can get lots of info from wpa_status/wpa_supplicant but none of it appears anywhere
perhaps i might just provide a modified wireless.sh which has this fix, and also produces more logging if people are interested

Welcome to Transporter Room 3, the only corner of the Internet galaxy where chestal-region body art crosses with discussions of all things Star Trek.
Transporter Room 3, Episode 15
Or subscribe.
This week's NSFW and angel-dust fueled episode blames all sorts of things we can't believe we said aloud on our Mirror Universe versions. That's right, we talk about The Original Series episode "Mirror, Mirror." What sparked this week's episode topic, you ask? A woman's ode to Spock by way of boob tattoos. (Tit-toos? *cymbal crash, crickets...*)
Oh and we interrupt our podcast with a breaking nerd news story -- our first time ever, kids! Doctor Who and Star Trek: TNG will finally get that comic book crossover that no one really asked for. So we'll weigh in on that existing, as well as news about Hasbro's new Star Trek 2 toys ("expensive and shitty"?). And of course, we strap on our black arm bands once again for another fallen Red Shirt of the Week.
So listen to TR3, and learn why our intellectual banter was so stimulating that Scott's mom had to stop listening! But don't YOU stop listening. Oh no, not you. Yeah you, the guy at his computer, listening with the 32" Vizio on in the background. Yes. YOU. You're about to get Tantalus Field'd if you don't "Like" us on Facebook and love us with star ratings on iTunes. Just kidding about the Tantalus Field thing. Or am I?!
We regret nothing.

Four County Councilmen are being replaced in January. Chuck Estok, Bruce Fingerhut, and Bill Dulin attended their final meeting last week. Dan Awald, who is the fourth Councilman being replaced, was not in attendance at his last meeting.
Following the meeting, Ted Hayes talked with the three who were in attendance, starting with Chuck Estok, who has served the longest at 16 years. Ted asked the veteran Democrat Councilman what he is most proud of during his long service to the citizens of the County.
"I think a highlight that I pride myself on is that the County has no debt," replied Chuck Estok. "We used to have debt when we had the hospital, we leased that in 1996, cleaned up the debt, put some money in the bank and there's money in the bank right now in the "save the hospital fund" and money goes in there every year. I think there's something to be said for the people that were involved, which were the Commissioners back then, Councilmen and Bruce Fingerhut was part of that. To me, that's an achievement in that we didn't strap anybody with any debt. There's a lot of talk that we need a Jail. I think there are other ways to do that going forward, not that I'm involved, but I hope they don't take that route."
Tomorrow we'll hear from Bruce Fingerhut, who has served 12 years.

Faculty and staff, please get the word out to your students that if they use public transportation they will need to get the new RTD College Pass smart card for the 2013 spring semester.
The way students now use their University-issued photo ID as a Regional Transportation District pass for the bus and light rail is changing this month. Instead of a sticker on their school photo ID, registered students will need to get the new RTD smart card.
A smart card special distribution is happening through Jan. 22, but students who are unable to pick up the new card by that date should bring their spring schedule and MSU Denver photo ID to the ID office in the Tivoli Student Union as soon as possible to avoid being charged to ride the bus or light rail.
Following is the remaining days and time for the special distribution:
Tuesday, Jan. 15, through Saturday, Jan. 19 and Jan. 22
New pick-up locationThe location for card pick-up by MSU Denver students has changed to the Roger Braun Lounge in the Tivioli Student Union, rather than the Multicultural Lounge.
Students must bring a copy of their spring 2013 class schedule and their current University-issued student photo ID.
RTD is promoting this new student card as an easier way to use their transportation services. The actual services will not change. For more information visit the RTD website.

We have seven volunteers on a screening committee who are assigned to do individual email interviews with potential members before the new person is allowed to join the list. Also the new member has to submit a 100 word personal biography to the list. The list is absolutely closed to anyone who is not willing to do this. Period. On the other hand we do not require name/address/phone. Only the seven screening members have the code word needed to add a new member. No one can subscribe themselves and all non-member posts are rejected. This has worked pretty well for us, and with the subscription screening spread among seven people, it is not an undue burden. (It would be very hard for one person to handle it all, though.) Hope this gives you some useful ideas, Alan Czarnek

This page is now closed. Thank you for your emails.
The comments published below reflect the balance of views we received.
Rageh Omaar, his production team and the BBC should be congratulated for this programme. It's exactly this high quality of programming, humane and honest, that the BBC should be rightly proud of. I wept for those kids and hope that the charities involved can be highlighted in fundraising events in future.Fiona Barker, Manchester
Excellent programme. Rageh Omaar presented this programme superbly, allowing the facts to speak for themselves. Well done.Chris Hargreaves, Carlisle
Praise to all those who helped make this superb documentary. I don't have any children of my own but value my own childhood enough to realise just how much has been taken from the lives of these children. A sad but very necessary programme. Thank you.Guy Miller, Sussex
Thank you for making such a powerful and moving programme about child slavery in the midst of all the commemorations of the 200th anniversary of the abolition of the slave trade and the talk of reparations. The debt we owe is to the children you showed on your programme. It is they who need to benefit from any guilt we may have for the past as we make a fresh commitment to build a better future for them.Andrew Sinclair, Oswestry
I just want to thank Rageh Omaar, the BBC and every member of the production crew spanning over six countries for making this programme, giving a voice and distinct image to the face of modern child slavery in our world today. How did we get to this point? We should feel utterly ashamed of ourselves, especially the politicians spending billions on Trident and never-ending wars - it is many of those same wars that child slavery and economic suffering are born from. Thanks again for putting this programme out. Awareness is an important step.Asim Haneef, London
A well-made and thought-provoking documentary, well done Rageh Omaar and team. I'd like to think that this programme might just convince those who can bring an end to this misery, to act. Sadly though I was left thinking the problem is just too big to combat. We should all stop and think about this programme next time we start to whinge about our trivial, so- called problems. Pete Lambert, Bromley
I knew that it wouldn't be pleasant viewing and that I would feel depressed after watching this, but I dared myself to face something real rather than another soap or sitcom. I am so glad that I did. I will never forget the plight of these children and will endeavour to do something to help no matter how small. As a first time mum this programme truly touched my heart. It reminded me how unbelievably lucky we are to have the opportunities in life that we have.Nicola Moore, Norfolk
Amazing programme and deeply moving. It has motivated me to find out what I can do to help in some way. Thanks Rageh for highlighting the issue of child slavery and for the BBC showing true "reality TV".Roy Mulcahy, Switzerland
Thank you for bringing the plight of so many children to our TV screens tonight. Many times I was bought to tears but none more so than when the mother who, on the safe return of her son, said "Why have you come home to add to my sorrows". What a sad world we live in when a mother is forced to think like this. I'm sure those words will haunt me for a long time - in fact I hope they do so I can do what I can to help.Helen David, Gloucestershire
I found the programme very distressing; my children are so fortunate. As adults, we have a personal and moral responsibility to protect and value the lives of children worldwide, to do everything within our capability to help eradicate child slavery and improve the lives of these children, who will be the next generation. Please let us know how we can help, poverty is a terrible thing! I would never wish this upon my children. Moira Johnson, Bristol
Thank you for making such a powerful and important programme. As Rageh said, we all see these children when we travel and to a certain extent we are aware of their stories. But it's too easy to turn a blind eye, and excuse it with the idea that "that's just the way things are". How disgusting that thought is. The international community must do all it can to help stop these appalling practices. Poverty is no excuse for exploitation.Rachel, London
I have just watched Rageh Omaar's programme on the child slaves of the world. I was drawn to tears. I am so pleased that the BBC have seen fit to bring this to the attention of its viewers. Thank you! I hope that one day soon all these children will be freed. Keep up the good work. Eileen Haselden, Nottingham
A great documentary. Well done BBC.Pete Roe, Bristol
It was a real eye opener. I would really like to be reassured that Ruhal is OK and that someone is looking after him. You cannot do a programme like this and then forget these children. Marie Louise Paterson, West Midlands
This was the most touching programme I have ever seen. I myself am from the Philippines and have witnessed first-hand children living in conditions so poor that my heart almost sunk when reality hit. You managed to catch the very essence of the issues we need to address. Jay, London
An immensely powerful, moving, upsetting and, occasionally, hopeful film for which the BBC and Rageh Omaar should be congratulated. The scale of the problem seems so insurmountable, but the importance of shining such a direct light on the issues that make slavery, trafficking and bonded labour such a shameful stain on the conscience of the world cannot be underestimated. Richard, London
I found the programme interesting and heart-breaking, but as with many of these programmes I'm left with the feeling "what can I do to help?" Where do I begin? I don't just want to sit back and think "oh how sad".Lulu Minto, Warwickshire
A fascinating programme that really opened my eyes to a world so completely different to our own. I had no idea that a lot of these awful things were going on and that children were treated in such a terrible way.Lorna Hamilton, Reading
The issues raised in the powerful documentary with Rageh Omaar was extremely moving. I am 20 years old, not far from the age of these children. It makes me very sad to think that they will never experience a childhood as free as mine. It makes me ashamed to be a human being when some of us can treat people in this way. I wish child slavery didn't exist and I long for the day when people can really celebrate the abolition of slavery.Joe Lang, Southend-on-Sea
A thought-provoking documentary bringing home the harsh reality of the world we all like to pretend doesn't exist. Very well presented and directed. Particularly ironic was the shot of a young fisher boy sat on a boat decorated with the text: "Who is free?" Everybody ought to see this programme to gain a more balanced perspective.Marysia, Cambridgeshire
I am a 14 year old girl. My mother and I watched the documentary and it opened our eyes to the sheer poverty and ill-treatment of children in the developing world. It made me realise how much I take for granted in my very easy life. Children should be able to be children and not be sold into slavery.Megan McGurk, Scotland
I would never let my own children go through this, but how easy is that to say for someone like me? Someone who has food, water, a home, a bed and a roof over my head.Juicena, Bristol
Brilliant and thoughtful programme. Very disturbing and moving. What can ordinary people do about it? Is it just up to governments? How can we make a difference?Brenda Bell, Storrington
Such a sad programme but very sensitively made. What can we do? I know Rageh gave an overview of what could be done mentioning economic and political change, but what can I do as an individual today - can I make a difference somehow?Sam McGahan, Brightwalton
As horrifying as I expected it to be, the trauma of hearing the female relative of the Indian boy bemoaning and wailing that he had been returned to "add to her sorrows" will stay with me for a long time. Thank you for an insightful and thought-provoking film.Sarah Wolf, Somerset
Moving, unbiased, educational - these are just some of the words that describe this perfectly produced and directed documentary. Rageh Omaar should also be praised for his presenting skills which included scenes of simple respect with the children he was filming with.Tracie Anderson, Bromley
I have just finished watching the child slavery programme and it made me weep. I thank you so much for highlighting such a critical dilemma. Fazal Haider, Glasgow
This was an emotionally shattering documentary. I have missed Rageh Omaar's presence at the BBC and this programme highlighted some of the reasons why. It was a very well-researched, very comprehensive and of course excellently presented documentary.Zahra , Manchester
Rageh, thanks for having the courage to cover this subject. I work with victims of trafficking and sex-workers. It broke my heart to see the kids being deported. But thank God for the project in Vietnam working with the rescued children. Thanks and lets have more of it!Estelle Blake, London

10 great iPhone apps for business users
InfoWorld presents a grab bag of handy productivity apps that can make your iPhone as useful as it can be
For my purposes, the free version worked very well, allowing me to reach both Windows 7 and Macintosh computers that were running various applications. Loading up the required apps on each machine is simple, and the apps are lightweight, though I can imagine circumstances where you'd want to move to the pro version. If you manage a large number of servers, then the pro version will be a requirement, as it will be if you want to leave computers turned off and have the iPhone switch them on when you interact with the system.
For most small-business users, though, the free version of NTRconnect should do the job. Using it, I can launch a browser with Gmail and e-mail any file on the remote computer to my Google account, where I grab the attachment with Documents to Go Premium. For a mobile professional, it's a system that works beautifully.
Price: Free | iTunes link
I hate to admit it, but I am more productive when I have a task list to keep me moving forward. I've used, over the years, tons of tools (both paper and electronic) to help me with this, and I've found that having an easily portable system is crucial. Because I'm lazy, I also want something that integrates with the rest of what I do so that I'm not scattered in 93 different directions when I try to remember where I wrote something. Google Tasks covers most of what I need from an electronic task list, and GeeTasks is a fine way of keeping my Google Tasks in front of me when I'm moving around in the world.
With GeeTasks I can look at tasks created on my computer, mark them complete, and create new tasks with due dates. If I have multiple task lists (for the multiple roles I play), GeeTasks can show all of them and allow me to easily work among them.
If I'm away from a connection to the Internet (say, on an airplane), then GeeTasks will still allow me to make changes to the tasks on my lists and then sync those changes when I'm next connected to the Net. In all, the limitations of GeeTasks are the same ones inherent in Google Tasks. If you're willing to live with those, then GeeTasks is a very good way of keeping me on task and on target.
Price: $2.99 | iTunes link
Scanner Pro
OK, a confession: I dislike dealing with most business paper. I'd much rather have the information in electronic form, where I can search for it, store it, index it, and use it in various useful ways. To turn paper from on-the-road pocket clutter to useful information takes a scanner, and Scanner Pro is a great way to do so using an iPhone.
Using Scanner Pro is simplicity itself. To capture the image, you point the iPhone's camera at the item you'd like to scan, and press the shutter button. You're then given the chance to edit the image by changing color for grayscale or adjusting the brightness and contrast of the scan. Finally, Scanner Pro prompts you to send the image to one of four places: an Evernote note, a Dropbox file, an e-mail message, or a file on any WebDAV server.
If you don't have a WebDAV server, that's OK -- Scanner Pro has help screens that tell you how to use WebDAV to transfer images directly from the iPhone to a Mac or Windows computer. The instructions are simple and the process quick, so the captured scan gets off the iPhone as rapidly as possible.

This pattern was part of the free My Sister Knits shop newsletter in April 2010 and can now be considered out of print.
These aren't your standard wristlets. The elegant bell edging is topped by back-of-the-hand coverage and a simple 2-st i-cord loop to secure them around the middle finger. Paired with a simple sweater and spring dress these hand coverings are sure to keep the chill off Dear Mom.


text: Some mighty strange goings-on out in Boulder, Colo., where events at Boulder Investments' ( BIF) Growth & Income (BIF) fund are starting to look like a Road Runner cartoon. You'll remember how Wile E. Coyote could run off the edge of a cliff and just keep on running in mid-air ... until he looked down. That's sort of where investors in Growth & Income found themselves two weeks ago, when the fund suddenly plunged 25%. This is not the kind of result you normally expect from a conservative investment fund whose biggest stake is in Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway ( BRK.A). But then, nothing about this fund is quite what it seems. Growth & Income is a closed-end fund whose shares trade throughout the day on the stock market. Through nearly the first four months of this year, those shares soared 60%. Wonderful, yes? Um, sort of. The problem is that the shares left the cliff edge months ago and were simply running in mid-air. While the price went from $9.63 on Jan. 1 to $15.45 late last month, the actual value of the fund's investments rose by just a single penny, from $9.19 a share to $9.20. Turns out, by late April this cartoon coyote fund was running about 60% above the ground. Then investors looked down. Cue the long face ... and the last, pitiful wave goodbye. Beep beep!

Biking, Walking, and Blogging: What? Bicyclists May Use Full Lane?
What? Bicyclists May Use Full Lane?
By Steve Clark
The first "bicyclists may use full lane" signs have been installed in Minnesota - as part of a Saint Paul "livable streets" project on Marshall Avenue funded by Bike Walk Twin Cities.
The first thing one needs to know about these signs (there are three of them), is that they exist merely to reinforce what state law already allows and what safety experts have been teaching for over 30 years.
If it's not safe to ride to the right of motorized traffic, you don't have to - even if that traffic is moving faster than you. The law gives several examples of when it's not safe "to ride as far to the right as is practicable" including narrow lane widths (defined by Mn/DOT as less than 14' wide) and unsafe surface conditions.
In the case of Marshall Ave., the signs have been installed on a downhill stretch from Cretin Ave. to the bridge over the Mississippi, where the travel lane is less than 14' wide and there is no bike lane. As cyclists approach speeds of 30 mph on such descents, 'taking the lane' is certainly the prudent thing to do. The faster one travels, the more room one needs to maneuver (to avoid obstacles) and the farther out from the curb one needs to be to be seen by motorists pulling out from side streets.
And now these signs are in the newly revised Manual for Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). One thing to remember, however, just as their installation does not require bicyclists to ride in the middle of a lane, the absence of any such sign does not mean you cannot take the lane. In fact, in cities like Minneapolis and St. Paul a good rule of thumb is this: if there isn't sufficient space for a bike lane to be striped, taking the full lane may be the best option. Below are some FAQs you may find helpful as you talk with others about this new sign in Saint Paul.
Q: What does it mean to use the full lane?
A: Using the full lane (sometimes known as taking the lane) generally means riding in the center of a travel lane, or no further to the right than in the right motor vehicle tire track.
Q. That seems like it would be inherently dangerous - why would I ever want to take the lane?
A: There are a number of reasons and they are fully supported by state law. 1) You ensure that you are visible to motorists pulling out from side streets; 2) you're better able to prevent unsafe passing; 3) you're able to stay outside of the door zone of parked cars; and 4) you decrease your chances of being struck by a right turning motorist (the right hook) or a left turning motorist coming at you. You can also always take the full lane when you are "not impeding the normal and reasonable flow of traffic."
Q. So if there is traffic behind me, I have to head for the curb?
A. No, not at all. If you are taking the lane because it is necessary for your safety, you don't have to worry about slowing down traffic behind you. One of the oldest traffic principles in existence is "first come, first served." If you were there first, and you need to stay there to avoid roadway hazards, parked cars, etc., you have every right to stay there.
Q. But won't that anger motorists?
A. It can. That's one reason the signs are useful. They educate motorists about the rights of cyclists.
Q. Yes, but where there aren't signs ....
A. True. There are thousands of locations where cyclists need to exercise their right to use the full lane in order to be safe, yet, as of right now, there is only one small stretch where signs have been placed. We have a long ways to go.
Q. Are there other tips on how we can reduce hostilities and make sharing of the road a bit more palatable?
A. First and foremost, be consistent! If you have deemed it necessary to take the full lane, don't try to pass cars under the same situation. When you arrive at a stop sign or signalized intersection, wait behind the car in front of you, and follow all of the laws. And if there is an area where you can get over without compromising your safety to let cars pass, feel free to do so. Remember, courtesy is contagious!

Much scorned, often misunderstood, Fight Club is now widely accepted as an American classic.
So it is a cause for celebration that David Fincher's savage satire from 1999 has just made its Blu-ray debut. Fight Club: 10th Anniversary Edition is a one-disc, fully loaded offering with the title writ in shocking pink. Emblazoned below is the graffiti: "You Are Not Special."
The release inspires Fincher to call Sun Media on an off-day from shooting his latest $47 million opus, The Social Network. The new film, starring Justin Timberlake, is based on the book The Accidental Billionaires, a drama about the founders of Facebook. But Fincher, now 47, is happy to look back to an era before the Facebook generation and connect it to today.
In a disturbing way, Fight Club is more relevant now than in 1999, he says. "I can't say that was the hope," he offers sardonically. "We were hoping it was a cautionary tale as well as being satirical." But the film's multiple themes — excessive consumerism, widespread narcissism, the masculine identity and even terrorism — are part of the national debate in 2009.
"I think I kind of appreciate its madness more," Fincher says of the film's tone. "At the time, I just thought it was funny (although) I definitely felt it was talking about something that was close to my heart. It felt that Chuck Palahniuk (the novelist) had a real window into what I was feeling subconsciously. But, at the time, it didn't feel as scathing, or as seething, in the same way that I feel it is now.
"But, you know, maybe it's because I have mellowed. And I think I had more fun with it then than I do now. At the same time, I recognize that I was a little pissed off about something when I was making it."
The plot beggars description, because reducing it to basics distorts the narrative flow and threatens to reveal the shocking twist. Suffice it to say that unreliable narrator Edward Norton plays a corporate drone. Through relationships with the iconoclast played by Brad Pitt and the sado-masochistic lover played by Helena Bonham Carter, Norton reaches a crisis point.
Fincher's casting is letter-perfect. Most were first choices, despite rampant speculation involving Russell Crowe instead of Pitt, Matt Damon instead of Norton and Reese Witherspoon instead of Bonham Carter. Fincher confirms he seriously talked to Sean Penn "and who is more talented than Sean Penn?" He also found Courtney Love "fairly spectacular" for the female lead, but rejected her because Love and Norton were a couple. "They were romantically involved then and I just felt, at the time, that I would rather have people acting that out than living it out."
Other speculation, and there is a lot of it, "is just Internet chatter," Fincher says.
On one level, Fight Club is like all of Fincher's features: Alien 3, Seven, The Game, Panic Room, Zodiac and the Oscar-nominated behemoth, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. None, Fincher says, was tailor-made for its boxoffice. Instead, he looked into the future and saw home entertainment as the key to keeping his films alive.
"I make no bones about it. That's the reason we're working so hard. It's not about the first weekend. It's about perpetuity."
In the case of Fight Club, it thrived because the 2000 Collector's Choice DVD gave the film the enthusiastic audience that missed it in theatres, because it was originally and wrongly sold as a macho boxing flick.
"They found it on DVD. They found it was not a boxing movie," Fincher says. "It's not even particularly a macho movie — and it was never intended to be. It was always this slightly homo-erotic satire."

New policy falls short
Regarding Eric Heyl's column "Heyl: Gravy train comes to an abrupt halt for Allegheny judges' relatives" : It's unfortunate that Allegheny County Common Pleas Court President Judge Jeffrey Manning, in his anti-nepotism policy and his "grandfathering clause," could not have made an exception for the most Honorable Donna Jo McDaniel, who misused her power in hiring four of her relatives. Donna Jo found nice, well-paid court positions for her relatives yet did nothing as president judge to help Allegheny County court employees receive a fair and equal wage. I only hope the voters of Allegheny County remember her stunts in 2015, when she's up for retention.
Judge Manning's anti-nepotism policy does not go far enough and the gravy train will continue for the judges' friends and friends-of-friends who will not be selected on merit but by the old-fashioned county way, which is "who you know, not what you know." Their cushy ride is also enhanced by the fact that judges' staffs follow their own individual "rules" of conduct and attendance, very different from regular county and court employees who must punch clocks and dare not be a minute late.
So, the gravy train may lose a few family passengers but the seats will surely be filled by a select few of the judges' choosing.

Huh. The plot thickens in The Mysterious Case of the Two Mitt Romneys.
Apparently, when 2002 Mitt Romney decided to divorce himself and split into two, distinct entities, the 'other' Mitt Romney gained possession of the Governor's cognitive skills —including the ability to recall why Romney supported the Massachusetts universal care effort in the first place. It was, after all, 2002 Mitt Romney who often highlighted the inefficiency of emergency room care as the sole option for uninsured Massachusetts residents, allowing them to get free care while those who are insured are left to pay the bill.

Free for all of their PIX products? That's interesting, because for
some of their products it used to cost over US$1000 to add 3DES. It
looks like Cisco has finally realized that they cannot price their gear
at 3-4 times market value. Or is this only for their low end gear?

But as I wrote last week, you cannot use semantic games to do an end run around an enumerated constitutional right.
All detailed mechanisms for "popular decision making, divided powers, and enumerated rights."
Because all quacks operate using the exact same methods, which are enumerated with extreme detail in NUTS!
Except for one thing: you can't do an end-run around an enumerated right with some sort of semantic game.
I do not know how the reader will look on the blessings which I have just enumerated.
I have only enumerated the great and leading parties in the community.
By this scheme specific duties were imposed on certain enumerated articles; and an ad-valorem duty on those not enumerated.
Now for an explanation of the various "manifestations" that I have enumerated.
The present species, which now loses its name of indica in that of speciosa, and which though not enumerated in the Hort.
We have now enumerated a few of the essential features of human intelligence.
1610s, from or modeled on Latin enumeratus, past participle of enumerare (see enumeration). Middle English had annumerate (early 15c.). Related: Enumerated; enumerating.

I'm setting up a IPSEC tunnel between m0n0wall and a PIX.
The PIX is on a network reacheable from a MY-LAN interface (Not the standard
WAN). I setted up the tunnel and into the Interface field I selected MY-LAN.
I added a rule to accept packets coming from the other endpoint to the
firewall ip address on MY-LAN for UDP port 500 (ESP authentication).
The problem I'm esperiencing is that m0n0wall still drop packets directed to
m0n0wall ip address on MY-LAN interface coming from end point. Why?
Diagnostic log say:
X|20:30:07.603797|MY-LAN|10.23.205.65|port 500|10.23.208.1|port 500|UDP
Any hints?

Alan (Cameron Daddo) and Wendy (Brandy Ledford) Barnet are a normal, everyday couple whose outwardly perfect marriage has one problem – they are bored with each other in bed. Self-help books, counselling and even sex shop toys aren't working. An ad placed in a swingers' magazine leads them to Zebra Lounge and a couple of experienced swingers – Louise (Kristy Swanson) and Jack (Stephen Baldwin) Bauer, who definitely walk on the wilder side of life. What begins as an anonymous erotic rendezvous explodes into an electrifying experience that is beyond their wildest imagination. The spark is back in the Barnet's marriage, but they agree – once is enough. However, the Bauers disagree and they begin weaving a clever and diabolical web of intrusion and coercion, pulling Alan and Wendy
deeper into their lives. The Barnets soon realise that they risk more than public exposure if they don't continue the sexual liaison. Jack and Louise play a far deadlier game.

The urban poor suffer from social exclusion as well as lack of access to basic services such as water supply. One water provider in Metro Manila, the Philippines, has reportedly connected to the pipe system over 850 000 low-income individuals within the last nine years. That was achieved by providing so called bulk connections to community organizations, which in turn distribute the water and collect the tariffs within their area. The provider claims that the system 'builds communities' by stimulating consumers' active participation. In this paper, we investigate the reported social benefits in terms of social capital, defined as resources embedded in social networks. We measured by a locally adjusted Position Generator individual social capital of 93 respondents from one selected community. Increase in respondents' social capital by water supply implementation was measured by Name Generating of their new friends and acquaintances and their occupations. For comparison, the impact of other types of infrastructure was also evaluated. Expressive social capital was estimated by access to common occupations in this low-income area; instrumental social capital was estimated by access to other occupations. We have found that 89% of the respondents did not participate in the selected bulk system, socialization was not induced and social capital was not created. Consumers with better access sell water to the others. The bulk system is disadvantageous especially to those with the least social capital, who are at the end of the water chain and pay the highest unit cost. Footbridge and road construction projects, on the other hand, were participatory. Social capital was thus created, but again the better off benefited most in terms of the instrumental social capital increase.

- One 3 3/4- to 4-pound chicken
- 1 teaspoon coarsely chopped thyme
- Salt
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 20 garlic cloves, peeled
- 2 teaspoons coarsely crushed black peppercorns
- 1/4 pound chicken livers, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- Freshly ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped Gaeta olives
- 1 tablespoon minced flat-leaf parsley
Preheat the oven to 350°. Set the chicken in a roasting pan just large enough to hold it. Sprinkle the thyme in the cavity and season the bird inside and out with salt. Tie the legs together. Pour the olive oil over the chicken and scatter the garlic cloves and peppercorns in the pan.
Roast the chicken for about 20 minutes, or until the garlic is soft and golden. Transfer the garlic to a coarse sieve set over a small saucepan. Roast the chicken for about 1 hour longer, or until the juices in the cavity run clear. Tip the chicken in the pan to drain the juices, then transfer the bird to a carving board and cover loosely with foil. Skim the fat from the pan juices and reserve 1 tablespoon. Press the garlic through the sieve into the saucepan and pour in the pan juices with the peppercorns.
In a medium skillet, heat the 1 tablespoon of reserved fat just until smoking. Add the chicken livers, season with salt and freshly ground pepper and cook over high heat until browned on both sides and pink in the center, about 1 minute. Add the livers to the pan sauce and bring the sauce to a simmer. Season with salt and remove from the heat.
Carve the chicken and arrange on plates. Spoon the sauce on top, garnish with the olives and parsley and serve.

The following are key points from the preliminary report - Staff Statement 15, Overview of the Enemy - published on 16 June 2004.
The commission's final report is expected on 28 July.
Roots of al-Qaeda
In the 1980s a large number of Muslims from the Middle East travelled to Afghanistan to join the Afghan people's war against the Soviet Union, which had invaded in 1979. Osama Bin Laden was a significant player in this group, then known as the "Afghan
Following the defeat of the Soviets in the late 1980s, Bin Laden formed an organisation called "The Foundation" or al-Qaeda.
In 1989, the regime in Sudan invited Bin Laden to move there. He sent an advance team to Sudan in 1990 and moved there in mid-1991.
With al-Qaeda as its foundation, Bin Laden sought to build a broader Islamic army that also included terrorist groups from Egypt, Libya, Algeria, Saudi Arabia and Oman, Tunisia, Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon, Morocco, Somalia, and Eritrea.
Contrary to popular understanding, Bin Laden did not fund al-Qaeda through a personal fortune and a network of businesses. Instead, al-Qaeda relied primarily on a fundraising network developed over time.
Launching attacks on the US
December 2002: explosion outside two hotels in Aden, Yemen - a stopover for US troops en route to Somalia - killed one Australian tourist. Carried out by a Yemeni group close to Bin Laden.
October 1993: two Black Hawk helicopters were shot down and 18 US soldiers were killed in Mogadishu, Somalia. US subsequently learns that Bin Laden's organisation had been heavily engaged in assisting warlords who attacked US forces in Somalia.
We have seen strong but indirect evidence that his organisation did in fact play some as yet unknown role in the Khobar attack.
Bin Laden also explored possible co-operation with Iraq.
Bin Laden is said to have requested space to establish training camps, as well as assistance in procuring weapons, but Iraq apparently never responded.
We have no credible evidence that Iraq and al-Qaeda co-operated on attacks against the United States.
Whether Bin Laden and his organisation had roles in the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center and the thwarted Manila plot to blow up a dozen US commercial aircraft in 1995 remains a matter of substantial uncertainty.
May 1996: Bin Laden left Sudan and moved back to Afghanistan.
August 1996: Bin Laden made public his war against the United States.
There is no convincing evidence that any government financially supported al-Qaeda before 11 September.
The attacks on the US embassies in East Africa in the summer of 1998 demonstrated a new operational form-they were planned, directed, and executed by al-Qaeda, under the direct supervision of Bin Laden and his chief aides.
On October 12, 2000, an explosives-laden boat tore through the side of the USS Cole anchored in Aden, Yemen. This attack followed the operational pattern demonstrated in the East African embassy
Training camps
Many of the operatives in the African Embassy and Cole attacks attended training camps in Afghanistan, as did all 19 of the 11 September hijackers.
The quality of the training provided at al-Qaeda and other jihadist camps was apparently quite good.
We can conservatively say that thousands of men, perhaps as many as 20,000, trained in
Bin Laden-supported camps in Afghanistan between his May 1996 return and 11 September 2001.
Al-Qaeda today
Since the 11 September attacks and the defeat of the Taleban, al-Qaeda's funding has decreased significantly.
Prior to 11 September, al-Qaeda was a centralised organisation.
After al-Qaeda lost Afghanistan after 11 September... the organisation is far more decentralised. Bin Laden's seclusion forced operational commanders and cell leaders to assume greater authority.
Al-Qaeda remains extremely interested in conducting chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear attacks.
Al-Qaeda and other extremist groups will likely continue to exploit leaks of national security information in the media, open-source information on
techniques such as mixing explosives, and advances in electronics.
Regardless of the tactic, al-Qaeda is actively striving to attack the United States and inflict mass casualties.

Comments for FDA General
1. General Comments
January 10, 2003 Dockets Management Branch (HFA-305) Food and Drug Administration 5600 Fishers Lane Room 1061 Rockville, Maryland 20852 Re: Docket number 02D-0324 To Whom It May Concern: The Iowa Corn Growers Association (ICGA) represents over 6,000 farmers in Iowa who grow corn. We want to take this opportunity to comment on the guidance document for growing and manufacturing plant-made pharmaceuticals. The ICGA has a biotech committee that is looking at policy and technical issues that impact the development of new traits in corn. This committee has investigated the opportunity and the risk of growing plant-made pharmaceuticals in Iowa. We believe that there is long-term opportunity for Iowa farmers to grow value-added products derived from biotechnology and extracted from plants. Pursuit of this new technology platform holds great promise for society. The Iowa Corn Growers Association, in conjunction with the National Corn Growers Association, will continue to work responsibly to position growers to capture value from these new proteins in ways that ensure the safety of the food supply. Some biotechnology products require extensive management. Trained and certified Iowa growers have the skills and ability necessary to produce these crops with proper audits. Containment and isolation of biotechnology products are critical issues that must be resolved in order to realize the promise of this technology. Each protein should be grown and handled differently based on a scientific risk assessment and therefore each product should have specific requirements for regulatory approval. If the protein occurs naturally or poses little risk to society, then tolerances should be established for these proteins. Tolerances would facilitate development of these new and novel products in plants. We encourage EPA, FDA and USDA to distinguish and differentiate products developed through biotechnology by means that are appropriate for the trait and based on a risk assessment of that trait. We urge that federal policy not force abandonment of the progress that has already been made to develop novel products in corn. Most importantly, we urge that federal policy not prevent or exclude the opportunity to develop and grow these new products in Iowa. Thank you for the opportunity to present our views on the development of this important issue. Sincerely, Dave Nelson President

internet was free There are many long term staff using the kitchen and taking up all the fridge space with big boxes. The kitchen is extremely busy during cooking time. Loud music playing after 11PM downstairs. Dec was hot that you cannot close the window, so it is noisy
The staff was really friendly and provided us with a lot of information and suggestion on things to do in the area. The location is also great and within walking distance to the city center and bus station and thermal pools in town. The room felt a little bit damp and had a slight odor, but it was not that big of a deal to make it uncomfortable.
I stayed in a double room without bathroom and was dirty and the bed terrible. The kitchen was OK.
Easy to find and close to all services
Location. Noise, dirty
Good deal with food
Very good and big room for great price. Great thermal pools, fast Internet and very good location. Best backpacker hotel on New Zealand I saw.
