DUSSELDORF (Jul. 8)
The Zionist movement was re-established in Germany today with the formal organization of a new Zionist federation and the election of a three-man executive and a 17-member national board at a conference of German Jewish leaders here. The new federation has the support of the World Zionist Organization and will be affiliated with the WZO.
Shekolim will be sold by the German Zionist Organization and on that basis it will be able to send delegates to the forthcoming World Zionist Congress. A fundraising program to be launched among Germany's 25,000 Jews was outlined for the assembled leaders by Sam Segal, European director of the Keren Hayesod.
Dr. Chaim Yachil, now deputy head of the Israel purchasing mission in Cologne and former head of the Jewish Agency office in Munich and one-time Israel consul in Munich, was the chief speaker at the conference. Dr. Yachil reviewed the contributions of German Jewry to Zionism and the course of Zionism in Germany in recent years. He noted that since it has become obvious that the continued existence of a Jewish community in Germany is a fact, it had been resolved among the Zionist leadership that this community should have the same rights and duties as Jewish collectivities elsewhere.

Tokyo (AFP) Jan 31, 2013
Japan on Thursday hailed upbeat factory output numbers as a turning point for the beleaguered economy as Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's new government strives to reverse the nation's fortunes.
Output rose by 2.5 percent in December from the previous month, boosted by brisk production of cars and semiconductors, as Japan's automakers were helped by vehicle demand in the crucial US market picking up.
"Industrial production shows signs of having bottomed out," the economy ministry said in a statement announcing the figures.
A survey of manufacturers in the world's third biggest economy released with the data found that producers expected another increase for January of 2.6 percent and 2.3 percent in February.
"The December figure shows Japan's production activity has hit bottom and is now on course to a gradual recovery," said Yusuke Shimoda, an economist at Tokyo-based Japan Research Institute.
"On top of a recovery in the global economy, economic measures taken by the new government are expected to push output up further. Among the potential negative factors are uncertainties about the Chinese economy."
But the rosy monthly figures fell short of a 4.0 percent rise expected by the market while factory output was down 1.9 percent in the October-December quarter from the previous three months.
Production slipped 0.3 percent over the full year, after a decline in 2011 when Japanese industry was hammered by the quake-tsunami disaster and Fukushima nuclear crisis.
Also worrying for the world's third-largest economy, Japan last week logged a record trade deficit in 2012 with exports hit by a bitter diplomatic spat with its biggest market China and soft demand in debt-wracked Europe.
Tokyo's trade deficit with Beijing doubled to a record 3.52 trillion yen last year, as a feud over a chain of islands in the East China Sea spurred anti-Japan protests across China and a consumer boycott of Japanese goods.
The long-running territorial dispute flared in September after Tokyo nationalised some of the Senkakus, which Beijing calls the Diaoyu islands.
The archipelago is believed to harbour vast mineral reserves beneath its seabed and has proved to be a sore spot between the major trading partners.
Japan's economy contracted in the third quarter after a slip in the previous three months, meeting the technical definition of a recession.
The poor trade and growth figures underscore the size of the task ahead for the new government under the hawkish Abe, which has heaped pressure on the Bank of Japan for aggressive easing measures to boost the deflation-plagued economy.
Earlier this month, Japan's under-pressure central bank adopted a two percent inflation target and also set out plans for indefinite monetary easing.
Markets have cheered Abe's strong stand. The Nikkei 225 stock index has soared in the past couple of months, while the yen has tumbled.
That is good news for Japan's exporters, who have complained about the unit's increasing strength since it hit a record around the 75-level against the dollar in late 2011. A high yen makes Japanese products less competitive overseas and shrinks the value of repatriated foreign income.
The dollar bought 90.81 yen in Tokyo trade on Thursday.

TH!NK post
Finally people are saying it loud and clear: Clean Coal is a LIE!
Published 22nd November 2010 - 0 comments - 1385 views -
Clean coal is an oxymoron, just like "intelligent design" or "Senate ethics panel". There is nothing clean about coal, you burn it and the by-products are harmful to the planet. Coal can be made clean if you just don't burn it!
Now, even in heartland of the big coal country America, the public is seeing through the big lie being spread around by the coal industry. In Kentucky, locals have embraced clean energy instead of a coal plant.
Jeff Biggers at Huffington Post says,
"Recognizing the spiraling costs of coal-fired plant construction and more practical energy efficiency and renewable energy options, the East Kentucky Power Cooperative has agreed to halt its once fervent plans to construct two coal-burning power plants in Clark County.
The announcement comes nearly one year after American Municipal Power abandoned its plans to build a coal-fired power plant along the Ohio River in Meigs County, and shifted the battle between coal-fired plants and New Power sources to Kentucky.
Led by EKPC members, the Sierra Club, Kentucky Environmental Foundation and Kentuckians For The Commonwealth, along with individual co-op members Wendell Berry, Father John Rausch and Dr. John A. Patterson, the announcement comes as an extraordinary shift in the national debate over coal-fired energy."
A very positive development indeed. Kentucky is moving in right direction, not only are they saving money by not choosing coal, they are also saving the environment and some cold cash.
"Clean coal" lie manufacturers must be going crazy right now. Let them! facts and science don't support them either. Here are some simple truths about coal
- Carbon capture and storage(a plan that could make coal "clean") is a scam.
- 24,000 people a year still die prematurely from pollution emitted at coal-fired power plants, in addition to a litany of other health effects that injure and impede hundreds of thousands of Americans.
- Time magazine reported in 2009,"coal remains a highly polluting source of electricity that has serious impacts on human health, especially among those who live near major plants. Take coal ash, a solid byproduct of burned coal. A draft report last year by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) found that the ash contains significant levels of carcinogens, and that the concentration of arsenic in ash, should it contaminate drinking water, could increase cancer risks by several hundred times."
And the list of myths and lies about coal and clean coal goes on and on. The industry is spending millions to cheat people, instead of investing it on honestly clean power plants. How about investing in a wind farm or solar energy, you "clean coal" liars?

|Shutdown problems.
|Mon, 14 Jan 2002 00:51:21 +0100
Dear sirs, This is my first mail in this list. I write you because I have recently recompiled a 2.4.17 linux kernel on top of a RH7.2 system to test devfs and it was just a matter of following the instructions in the documentation of the kernel. The configuration makes use of /dev-state to save ownerships from boot to boot. (Yes, I have changed /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit according to instructions and uncommented the suggested lines in /etc/devfsd.conf). It works basically right and now /dev looks much prettier and cleaner on my system. Just a couple of questions: 1) When loading, there is an error in "Copying /dev-state/fb to /dev/fb". However, then it works fine. Maybe, is there a need to build a tarfile for that devices? 2) The most serious comes when shuting down. I get the following messages almost at the end (while it is unmounting everything) /////////////////////////////////////////// umount2: Device or resource busy umount: devfs: not found umount: /dev: Illegal seek ////////////////////////////////////////// and, then, it does not halt, it simply rests stopped (but the system is not locked as it accepts rebooting). I am not sure whether this is a problem with devfs or with some option that I forgot when configuring the kernel. Anyway, looking at the /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt script, I suspect that, maybe, there is some kind of problem with the order in which devfsd daemon is killed and /dev is unmounted. Another point is that the script tries to remount read-only /dev/root (scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part2 in my system) in order to execute the very last commands (halt itself) at a moment when I suspect that /dev has been unmounted (so it becomes frozen because it does not find the command). However, I am not very sure of those thoughts, so I ask here whether something else has a system like mine and whether he has had to reoganize the halt script in some way. Mainly, in which order must one kill devfsd, umount /dev (it should be better remount it read-only, I suppose) and halting the system. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully, -- Juan Pablo Hierro Álvarez Clave pública: 0xA8707ADF en pgp.rediris.es

The nature of indigenous environmental knowledge production: evidence from Bedouin communities in southern Egypt
The use of indigenous knowledge has been seen in some quarters to offer real possibilities of success in development practice. However, results have been uneven, perhaps because of the way in which indigenous knowledge has been conceptualised. Drawing on empirical research among two related Bedouin communities in Egypt, the paper suggests that indigenous knowledge is provisional and dynamic and therefore rather less static than implied in much of the literature; it should be seen as utilitarian and grounded, both economically and socio-culturally; and indigenous knowledge as a term may be unhelpful and misleading and would be better expressed as local knowledges.

Kim Kardashian Slams 6-Hour Spa Treatment Rumors, Insists She's Not a Diva
Taking to her blog on Tuesday, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star cleared the air regarding some rumors that have surfaced regarding her latest trip to Thailand — particular one nasty one about the 33-year-old being a complete diva and requesting lengthy beauty treatments from her resort everyday.
"I see the hotel I stayed at gave quotes that I had 6-hour spa treatments daily. The hotel was gorgeous and had amazing service, but not once did I get a massage, which I'm actually pissed I didn't do because a Thai massage I heard are the best," she wrote. "Never once did I get a manicure or any other spa treatment. NOT ONE! So I really don't appreciate false info making me out to be a diva."
"Come on I was busy taking selfies all day!!! Just kidding … well not really," she continued. "I would rather spend six hours a day with my family and daughter, not in spa treatments."
"I instagramed a pic of Thailand I found on Google thanking Thailand for the memories we had on our recent trip," she admitted, referring to claims that she had ripped a photo off an image search engine.
She explained, defending herself, "I never claimed to have taken that pic. It was the best pic to show how pretty Thailand was. I was already home and couldn't take a new pic … just didn't have scenic pics on my phone! I see today people are calling me a fraud … but ummm when did I ever say I took that pic? LOL."

ater this week under the direction ot
Joseph Brooks. ' t r -
By Arnold Bennett, the 'authorfof
many delightful novels, and Edward
Knoblauch, the dramatist and author of
"Kismet," 'IMIlestones" comes from
London and New York heralded as the
most charming comedy since "Caste."
John Rhead, a clever young engineer,
sees In 1S00 the possibilities of Iron over
wood In shipbuilding. His conservative
partners do riot agree with his views
and he breaks away from them at tho
risk of losing the girl he loves, and at
the cost to Ms sister Gertrude, or
the man alio loves, her future husband.
Rhead succeeds and he Is rewarded with
the title of baronet. In 1SS5 he Is In
capable of seeing that steel will replace
Iron, a fact brought to his attention by
a young engineer In his employ, who
happens to stand in the same scientific
relation to him that he did to bis part
ners twenty-five years before.
Rhead not only continues to be blind
to the possibilities of steel versus Iron,
but he stubbornly refuses to allow his
daughter to marry the young engineer,
Arthur Precce, and compels her to
marry an inane scion of nobility. Lord
Monkhurst. Later Rhead is forced to
acquiesce in this same Arthur Prcece's
Intervention in a strike In his works,
and to admit defeat at the hands of his
granddaughter, the Honorable Muriel
Pym, a self-willed typo of the modern
young woman who Is dctermlnHi to
marry the man of her choice. Througn
It all runs the tragedy of the old maid
Sir John Rhead's sister. Muriel Pm's
mother, now a widow, cannot recon

engineer, family objections notwith

with the girl until she meets again the
lover of her young days Arthur Preece.
Just at the moment Sir John and Lady
Rhead arc celebrating their golden
wedding anniversary. Lady Rhead. who
has loved, honoreo. and obeyed her
husband for fifty years, suddenly as
serts herself, and demands that he shall
do nothing to Interfere with the mar
riage of Muriel and Richard Sibley,
who. by the bye, Is her brother s child.

allegorical spectacle, which Was writ

spent ten years in the creation of this,
his master-Work, only to die upon the
morning of the day when it was given
Its first public performance, will begin
a week's engagement at the Belasco to
morrpw evening. t
"EverywomaJVs'' fame has been world
wlde since It was seen here two years
ago. It made theatrical History in New
York and Is now a sensation at the
Dxury Lane 1 neater in London. Ino
play Is given in five canticles or acts,
and one of these takes place on Broadway.-New
York, at midnight on New
Year Eve. The company of nearly 170
persons, Is In this scene, which has
become world famous.
The incidents of the story of "Every
woman" might be called an admixture
of the symbolic and actual. It may be
considered an allegory, as modern
drama, as grand opera. Its story Is
dramatic in the extreme. The theme
Is "Everywoman's" quest for love, und
the principal character is supposed to
be typical of the sex: she is a composite
woman, "endowed with youth, beauty,
grace, and the other attributes of at
tractive young womanhood. Her search
for love brings her into contact with the
pleasures and pains, allurements, and
handicaps of life.
Thus of almost equal Importance with
"iiverywoman" are '"King Love. .Wealth;
Youth. Beauty, Modesty, Greed, Vanity,
Truth. Witless. Patslon, Conscience;
and others. Also there Is Nobody, who
typifies worldly wisdom, public opinion
and philosophy. Through the play He
treads as guide, friend and counselor;
hpeaking the hard truth into nnwilllng
ears, having his advlco rejected, but
always returning, as persistently ana
lnvcterately as doom. ,
Impressive Interpretation of "Every
wuman" requires a cast of unuauat
caliber, which Henry W. Savage has pro
vided. In addition . to MiM Thais
M'agrane, who sustains the title role,
the leaders of the company are Fred

permit confirmations.
The plan, has stirred considerable dis

Its enactment Into law. Senate Republi

no reason to believe President Taft
would sign such a bill.

Democratic desire for office. .Most of

MISSISSAUGA, Ont.–The Canadian Supply Chain Sector Council has received funding for a two-year project, "Supply Chain Links," which will result in the creation of both a supply chain skills-assessment and matching tool and 15 or so new occupational standards. The project is funded by the Government of Canada's Sectoral Initiatives Program, the CSCSC noted in a release today.
The interactive self-assessment tool will be useful to individuals and employers in the sector. Based on information in the CSCSC's occupational standards – 33 now available and a maximum of 15 to be developed through this project – a user will be able to identify his or her job-related strengths and, more importantly, deficiencies in order to determine where further education or training needs to be attained to promote career development. Similarly, a manager or company HR department could use reports generated from the tool at a macro level to direct investments in education or training where gaps are indicated.
Further, the assessment tool will link to the CSCSC's Education and Training Compendium. With this resource, the user will be able to find education and training providers that offer programs in the areas where skills upgrading is required.
In choosing jobs for the development of new occupational standards, the CSCSC will focus on roles related to transportation – particularly in marine, port operations, rail (including intermodal facilities), pipelines and air cargo, as well as supporting functions involved in trade gateways and corridors on both coasts and mid-continent – trade, sourcing and global procurement.
Outcomes of this project are expected to include an expanded knowledge base to enable stakeholders to make more-informed decisions related to career development and skill shortages, and a larger skilled supply chain labour force, specifically in the emerging occupations supporting gateways and transportation corridors.
Long term, the project is expected to help firms in the supply chain sector address their growing demand for a more highly skilled workforce. In doing so, it will better position those firms to remain competitive in the global marketplace

Senate Democrats on Thursday successfully blocked a measure meant to kill President Barack Obama's nuclear deal with Iran, dealing a decisive defeat to Republicans' attempts to derail the controversial agreement and ensuring its survival.
With a 58-42 vote, Democrats filibustered the disapproval resolution that Republicans and other deal opponents had tried to send to Obama's desk, where it would have been vetoed. But with more than enough support from Democrats to sustain that veto, the fight largely turned to the minutiae of Senate procedure and the suspense of whether Democrats would halt the bill from reaching the White House altogether.]]>
PRAGUE (AP) — The Czech Republic's counter-intelligence agency says the number of Russian spies remains high and they are particularly interested in the country's nuclear program.
The agency, also known as BIS, says in its annual report published Friday: "Russia does not consider a fight over the Czech nuclear energy sector a lost battle."
BIS says the Russian spies focus on a recently approved government plan to build at least one more reactor at the Temelin nuclear plant and another at the Dukovany plant. They also target anyone whose task is to make this plan reality, it says.
[The] Kremlin is also trying to take control over the Russian community's organizations here, BIS charges, and is building a spy network in Europe, similar to what the Soviet Union did before World War II.]]>
Background: August 5, 2015
And, as reported by Politico, another proposed new reactor project in Finland -- HANHIKIVI 1 -- may have suffered a serious setback, due to Finnish authorities' concerns about a potential Croatian partner's shadowy ties to Russian business interests.]]>
Drawing on his 45 years of investigative reporting, and his authorship of six books -- much of it focused on the covers ups, deceptions, and hypocricies of nuclear power -- Grossman describes how India acquired nuclear weapons through Eisenhower's so-called "Atoms for Peace" path.
He warns that the United Nations International Atomic Energy Agency's schizophrenic mandate -- to promote nuclear power, while curbing nuclear weapons proliferation -- risks other countries likewise obtaining "The Bomb." This includes Iran, even under the current "Iran Nuclear Deal," hammered out by the likes of the "great booster of nuclear power," U.S. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz.
Grossman's blog was published on July 16, 2015 -- 70 years to the day after the U.S. detonation of "Trinity" in the New Mexico desert. The Manhattan Project plutonium bomb "test" led to the annihilation of Nagasaki, Japan just over three weeks later.
[See the Obama administration's White House web site postings about the Iran Nuclear Deal; and see the full text of the Iran Nuclear Deal itself.]]]>
The article quotes Nguyen's response to a question about Vietnam's first proposed atomic reactors:
"The nuclear power projects will most certainly be stopped. Five reactors have melted down in the first 50 years of nuclear power's use in the world. Three Mile Island had one, Chernobyl had one, and Fukushima had three. That's one reactor every decade. Unfortunately there will be another accident at a reactor within the next decade. We don't know if it'll be in France, China, Japan, or some other country. And when it happens, I think they'll put a stop to the Vietnamese projects. I don't intend to die until I've seen those projects killed." (emphasis added)
At 4,137 Megawatts-electric and 2,779 MWe, respecitvely, the Gori and Wolseong nuclear power plants are already the biggest in the world; but they are projected to expand to 7,937 MWe and 4,779 MWe, respectively. (See the EJA map and chart, above, as well as the Wikipedia entry "Nuclear Power in South Korea.") Altogether, there are currently 23 atomic reactors in South Korea, with more planned.
News of the leak became public once Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power Corporation (KHNP) -- part of the state-run Korean Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) -- officially requested an investigation by the Seoul Supreme Prosecutor's Office, and the Korean National Police Agency Cyber Bureau, on Dec. 18th. The provocative blog was also supposedly shut down that same afternoon.
Park In-sik, a spokesman for KHNP, was quoted as saying "The blueprint is often used by operators at the Gori plant when managing the reactor. And the program control manual was actually published in 2009 and handed out to employees as part of a training program at the Wolseong 1 reactor."
KHNP was reported to have added: "We acknowledge [our information management] has been lax, but we can only take action against the leak after the investigation is complete. To prevent additional leaks, all data stored on computers inside our offices was encrypted this morning," presumably Dec. 20th.
(Is there a Korean saying akin to the American English "Why close the barn door after the horse is gone?"?!)
The article quoted a National Information Security Service official as warning "If these reactor blueprints and system manuals are leaked, we could be faced with a situation where someone posing as an employee could log onto the main reactor control system and commit a terrorist act."
However, in a Dec. 22nd Reuters article, KHNP downplayed the risks, labeling the stolen data as "non-critical"; a South Korean deputy energy minister, Chung Yang-ho, was quoted as saying "It's our judgment that the control system itself is designed in such a way and there is no risk whatsoever." A KHNP spokesman was also reported to have said "It is 100 percent impossible that a hacker can stop nuclear power plants by attacking them because the control monitoring system is totally independent and closed."
But nuclear reactor design specialist Suh Kune-yull of Seoul National University was quoted by Reuters as countering "This demonstrated that, if anyone is intent with malice to infiltrate the system, it would be impossible to say with confidence that such an effort would be blocked completely. And a compromise of nuclear reactors' safety pretty clearly means there is a gaping hole in national security."
Who leaked the information to the internet, and why?
Although providing no specifics, the Korea JoongAng Daily article reports "Although no details about the identity of the blogger were disclosed, the user identifies themselves [as] 'the head of antinuclear power group's Korean branch.'"
The Korea JoongAng Daily quoted "Who am I?", the user name of the blogger, as writing "Why did we attack the control system? Because we don't want to suffer disasters like the Fukushima accident...Nuclear power is not a safe source of energy anymore. People living near the nuclear power complex have filed a class action suit claiming that they have been suffering from thyroid cancer."
The Korea JoongAng Daily reported that "hacked information posted on the blog included test results for thyroid cancer for residents living around the Gori reactor, as well as some personal information of about 10,800 current and former KHNP employees."
The atomic reactor-generated radionuclide Iodine-131 is known to cause thyroid pathology, whether released in relatively small amounts as a so-called "routine emission" from regular nuclear power plant operations, or during a nuclear catastrophe, as at Three Mile Island, Chernobyl and Fukushima.
But it must be emphasized that the leading anti-nuclear power organizations in South Korea -- groups like KFEM (Korea Federation for Environmental Movements), a national member of Friends of the Earth International -- have a long and proud tradition of non-violent anti-nuclear activism. They are dedicated, of course, to preventing catastrophic radioactivity releases, not facilitating such disasters by making nuclear power plants vulnerable to terrorist attack.
By contrast, the Reuters article placed the supposed anti-nuclear blogger in Hawaii, again providing no specifics. The anti-nuclear power movement of the United States, of course, is unanimously dedicated to non-violence and radiological prevention.
However, the Reuters article explicitly addresses another possibility, the elephant in the room: that the source of the hack was instead the North Korean military dictatorship. After all, the breach of the South Korean nuclear power industry comes amidst accusations by the FBI and White House that the Kim Jong-un regime in North Korea is responsible for the salacious, high-profile, costly hack against Sony Pictures described by President Obama as "cyber vandalism." North Korea has denied the charges.
Both articles have reported that the provocative blog threatened to expand the attack, and post further revelations of critical nuclear power safety information, on Christmas Day, if the two South Korean nuclear power plants are not shut down, and a ransom (for lack of a better word) paid.
The Guardian has reported the hack has prompted two days of emergency preparedness exercises at South Korean nuclear power plants, as well as increased security vigilance at U.K. atomic reactors.
North Korean threats against U.S. nuclear power plants?!
Bill Gertz, Senior Editor of the blog Washington Free Beacon, reported on Dec. 18th that very heavily redacted U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) documents, recently released under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), have revealed that five North Korean commando sleeper cells had been deployed into the U.S. in the 1990s, to potentially attack U.S. nuclear power plants in the event of hostilities between the two countries.
Gertz links to a blog entitled The DMZ War: 1953 to Today, where documents purporting to comprise the DIA FOIA release are posted.
A few other online blogs, such as The Inquisitr, as well as Fox News, have reported on or reprinted the Washington Free Beacon's allegations. However, no other news organizations have done so. Beyond Nuclear can provide no further authentication of the these alarming claims.]]>

by Cynthia L. Webb
September 25th, 2002
Surprise, surprise. Some big telecoms, just like a variety of other New Economy firms, engaged in questionable accounting practices to inflate revenues.

Revelations of just how far many companies took this scheme -- including allegations of verbal agreements made in tandem with written contracts -- were highlighted at a congressional hearing yesterday.

US: Enron's Giant Bandwith Scam
by Stephen Pizzo
Daily Enron
September 13th, 2002
At some point it dawned on the wheeler-dealers at Enron that selling real things - like gas and oil - had it limits. What they needed were products that had no physical limits. Energy contract futures were their first discovery, and how sweet they were. No more messy oil or smelly gas to deliver - just electronic bookkeeping notations. That's when Jeffrey Skilling discovered a product so ephemeral it bordered on metaphysical - bandwidth.

USA: What Do You Mean 'Us,' Boss?
by Steven Greenhouse
New York Times
September 2nd, 2002
Not long ago, before the accounting scandals at Enron, WorldCom and other companies, workers often saw themselves as management's best buddies. Gone was the old, us-against-them mentality in which workers viewed C.E.O.'s as robber barons intent on squeezing them for every last dollar.
USA: Enron Puts Assets Up for Sale

US: Government Secrecy and Corporate Crime
by Stephen Pizzo
Daily Enron
August 27th, 2002
What began with Vice President Dick Cheney's refusal 15 months ago to make his energy task force documents public expanded quickly to include policy making at virtually every level of government. And, after September 11, the blanket of secrecy - which had until then only covered the brass breasts of the DOJ's Lady Justice statue - darkened some of America's most valued constitutional protections.

ASIA: Globalization Critics Gain from US Corp Scandals
by Marwaan Macan-Markar
Inter Press Service
August 13th, 2002
The timing of the scandals is apt, say some critics from South and South-east Asia, who ended a three-day conference here Monday. The crisis in corporate America comes at a moment when the Anti-Globalization movement in the region is reasserting itself after losing some steam following the September 11th attacks on the United States, they add.

USA: Politics Cleared Way for Financial Scandals
by Molly Ivins
Boulder Daily Camera
July 31st, 2002
The New Yorker magazine published an amusing parody on recent business scandals last week, including this gem: "Mr. Cheney called for an end to innuendo about his activities in a now bankrupt Pitcairn Island firm that sold itself the air rights to a million acres of West Texas flatlands, deducted the transaction from its taxes as an entertainment expense, then borrowed $14 million interest-free from the Lichtenstein bank it owned, using its assets of company-acquired Callaway golf clubs as collateral, to finance the purchase of gifts for some Bessarabian oil prospectors who were then passing through Dallas."

USA: Tricky Dick
by Robert Scheer
Creators Syndicate
July 17th, 2002
Vice President Dick Cheney has spent most of the past year in hiding, ostensibly from terrorists. But increasingly it seems obvious that it is Congress, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the media and the public he fears. And for good reason: Cheney's business behavior could serve as a textbook case of much of what's wrong with the way corporate CEOs have come to play the game of business.

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) released a new study Thursday documenting the design of and early experience with state-level renewables portfolio standard (RPS) programs in the United States that have been specifically designed to encourage solar energy.
The study finds that these state-level RPS programs have already proven to be an important driver for solar energy deployment in the U.S., resulting in more than 250 megawatts (MW) of new solar capacity through the end of 2009. "These impacts are expected to grow considerably in coming years; however, states and utilities are likely to face a number of challenges in meeting aggressive solar energy targets," says report co-author Ryan Wiser with Berkeley Lab's Environmental Energy Technologies Division.

Ratings for Dr. Pejman Lavian
This was my first time seeing doctor Lavian, Pajmen he was great!! He took his time didn't rush He was kind and patient. I will definitely recommend this doctor to every one in need of a new M.D
I was looking for a family physician who I can visit regularly for annual checkups, etc. I chose Dr. Lavian due to the proximity of the office to my house and based on the very positive reviews on this site. I however found the experience horrendous. I saw Dr. Lavian for an annual physical. He seemed to really rush through any questions about family history and my lifestyle as though he was just asking them to just go through the motions. After my bloodwork came in, I never got a call about it. I had to call them several times just to speak to them about the results. When I asked them to email it to me they said that they don't have internet. What? Then I asked them to send it in the mail, and they said that they don't have much postage in the office and wouldn't be able to mail it. After I asked them on a different call, they agreed they would. They didn't actually mail the blood work until 3 repeated phone calls. NE-VER, A-GAIN!
Thorough, took time to explain things and was accommodating to my irrational health anxieties. Good follow-up and put me at ease immediately.
Dr. Lavian is the best MD my family and I have ever seen. He is caring and kind and his diagnosis and treatment are always spot on. My whole family loves him!
Dr. Lavian was very patient with me and my mother. We did not feel rushed during the visit. The staff is very helpful. We have found our new doctor!
Dr. Lavian is an EXCELLENT doctor. He listens carefully to all your complains. He explains very clearly and in detail. He answers all your questions and He doesn't rush you!! Excellent staff and Service!! Appointments on schedule!! A+ He is the BEST Doctor I've been to & the one will stay with until he retires!!!!
Was a great doctor I was in and out within 45mins. He answered all my questions and did not rush me out the door. I would reccomend him to anyone who wants a caring doctor and needs an appointment quickly. Staff was great. The girl that drew my blood was painless and very caring!
I was referred to Dr. lavian by my GI doctor. he raved about Dr. Lavian and told me that I would want him as my primary. Dr. Lavian and his staff are excellent. The fact that other doctors recommend him so highly impressed me.
Dr. Lavian is such a nice, caring doctor! He took the time to listen to what I had to say and tried to cure my problem, but when it became evident I'd need a podiatrist, he and the staff went out of their way to find one that would take me immediately so I wouldn't be in pain waiting for weeks. I highly recommend this doctor!
Dr. Lavian is a wonderful doctor and investigates all the possiblities that may occur if not looked at NOW. At the same time he has a lovely, cheerful and positive attitude.

The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 23.014 Thursday, 19 January 2012
Date: Thursday, January 19, 2012 3:50 PM
Subject: CFP: ESSE Shakespeare Seminar
We are glad to inform you that our seminar topic, 'Exclusion In Shakespeare Studies' [S72] has been included in ESSE 12, ('XII Conference of the European Society for the Study of English'") to be held at Bogazici University, Instanbul, Turkey, from 4 to 8 September 2012.
Both Sarbani & myself welcome 300 word abstract with a tile on the topic. Please email it to us by 31 January 2012.
S72) "Have We Devils Here?: Exclusion In Shakespeare Studies
Cultural, social and political exclusion/inclusion, generated by e.g. race, age, gender, religion, ethnicity, has been a facet of existence since the inception of civilization. Drawing on work by Byrne, 2005; Young, 2002; Fraser, 2000, we propose to use 'exclusion' as a conceptual and critical category to negotiate Shakespeare works, their translations, adaptations, productions and criticism by investigating their causal and instrumental links with deprivation, disentitlement and market inaccessibility. We believe that by focusing on exclusion and the struggles for emancipation promised through the recognition of difference, both the marginalised and the occluded will be highlighted, facilitating innovative readings of Shakespeare.
The link for the conference is http://www.esse2012.org
Please feel free to contact us for further details:

text: Hi Gang, I am having trouble setting things up so that users can submit jobs from the compute hosts. I have a pretty simple setup. Machine 1 is acting as the PBS server, the NFS server, and the NIS server. Machine 2-16 are acting as PBS clients, NFS clients, and NIS clients. In the torque.cfg file on the PBS server I have set ALLOWCOMPUTEHOSTSUBMIT true. Users can log in to any of the machines and use qstat, qmgr, pbsnodes, etc but qsub fails with the error below. qsub: Bad UID for job execution Users can submit jobs from machine 1 but not from machines 2-16. Since we are using NIS the user ids are the same no matter which machine the user is logged into. Can anyone give me any advice on how to figure out what is going on.

Some Questions Answered
If you are looking to hire a sun bed from any supplier, we suggest that you consider asking some or all of the following questions before you hire:
What tubes are fitted?
The latest range of home hire sunbeds offer up to 200 watt for maximum tanning results.
How do I know if the sunbed will be effective?
Ask when the tubes were last replaced. Lookers Sunbed Hire use hour counters so we know when we need to replace the tubes.
Does the sunbed have twin timers?
Health and safety regulations now state clearly that all sunbeds must be fitted with twin timers. This is very important as if one of the timers fail, the other will switch it off avoiding sunburn injury. If the sunbed does not have twin timers, do not hire the equipment.
Are sunbed goggles supplied?
Never use a sunbed unless you are wearing sunbed goggles that are new. Used goggles can spread eye infections. Lookers Sunbed Hire provide 2 NEW sets for free. Additional goggles can be purchased upon request.
Does the company set the equipment up?
Never use a sunbed company who does not set up and demonstrate how the sunbed works. Tanning guidelines and safety advice stickers should also be on the sunbed when delivered.
How Reliable Are You ?
Lookers Sunbed Hire take pride in being very reliable. It is common for us to receive calls from clients seeking a sunbed who have been let down by a company who fails to show up or delivers faulty or poor equipment.

If Massachusetts were covering the uninsured for less than $800 a pop, as former Gov. Mitt Romney suggests in his op-ed, "Mr. President, What's the Rush?" July 30, 2009, in USA Today, then the health reforms he signed in 2006 would truly be a model for the nation. Yet data from the very watchdog organization Romney cites (the Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation) indicate something different, says the Cato Institute.
For example:
- The Massachusetts reforms cost more than five times what Romney claims, because the state pushed more than 80 percent of the cost off-budget, and onto private individuals and the federal government.
- In fact, "RomneyCare" covers a family of four at a cost of at least $27,000 -- more than twice the average cost of employer-sponsored coverage ($12,680).
Romney is correct that President Barack Obama has the wrong prescription for health reform. But that's because Obama's approach is Romney's approach, says Cato:
- Like Romney, Obama would have government force people to purchase health insurance; control the content, terms, and price of "private" health insurance policies; expand Medicaid; and create new government subsidies and bureaucracies.
- Like Romney, Obama would push most of the cost off-budget by imposing mandates on states and private individuals -- which constitutes a huge tax increase on the middle class.
ObamaCare, like RomneyCare, is socialized medicine with a private facade, says Cato.
