When purchasing a dog bed, it is important to purchase a quality pet bed. Like many things, the quality of the bed is important and you will get what you pay for. Most beds on the market that you can purchase are low quality beds, usually made in China and will fall apart when you try to wash the bed. In addition, these puppy beds will not have enough cushioning. Like humans, dogs need good beds too, with adequate cushioning for comfort and longevity of their posturing.
The first and foremost thing when you are purchasing a dog bed is of course the look. Are you looking for a dog bed that matches your decor? Secondly, what size do you need and what health 'features' are you looking for in the puppy bed. Does that pet bed need to be round, square? Do you want a bolster donut bed style, pillow top, mats, rugs, feather down fill, cuddle cup sleeping bag style for those that love to burrow or are you looking for a fun novelty dog bed. Also, what material is the pet bed covered with? Is it covered with something soft and comfortable and is it removable for washing? For certain seasons, pet beds also come in cooling material to keep your pet cool during the hot summers and heated beds are available for those cold winters.
When it comes to pet beds, do your research. We suggest sticking to quality name brand beds such as Bowsers Beds, Jax and Bones feather down beds. These are two designer name brand pet beds that are made of quality upholstery grade covering, is washable/removable, and made of quality internal material that will have longevity, feels great, looks cool and will hold up and provide the quality comfort you are looking for your beloved puppy!

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Don't these laws mean anything? My ex filed an amended financial affidavit the day we were in mediation he and his attorney both knew was full of lies leaving off assets and income, which I didn't discover until after divorce. I tried setting aside settlement. My ex gave conflicting statements at my depo and at his on the same topic and lied about a lot of other things. He lied on the stand and other people lied for him. All the above provable but I'm told perjury isn't enforced. Is this what our system has become?
These laws do mean something, but the difficulty is being able to prove that someone is lying. It isn't enough to claim a person is lying or committing perjury. It's hard to claim the lawyer knew your ex's financial affidavit was "full of lies" if you didn't think there was anything wrong. In all likelihood, your ex gave the financial affidavit to the lawyer and the lawyer passed it on and relied upon it, but there's nothing to suggest that it was obviously false (otherwise you would have noticed it as well). Can you prove that he lied and other people lied for him? Will those other people admit to lying under oath? Perjury is certainly investigated and prosecuted but the problem is that it is so tremendously difficult to prove and the police often do not want to wade into these civil disputes. If you have evidence that proves that someone is committing a crime then you should provide it to law enforcement.
This is not to be considered legal advice nor does an attorney-client relationship exist.Ask a similar question
I appreciate your answer but come on. Is it even worth the time to take this to law enforcement? Do you really think they would do anything? His lawyer not only knew the affidavit facts were false - he prepared it for him. In vacating depo my ex testified he didnt even know why he had to sign an amended one, It was because his attorney told him to and I have letters written by his attorney acknowledging some of the income left off the original. Isnt a depo under oath? I have his testomy during my depo and his regarding the same circumstances he gave 2 completely different answers to, Had I seen his amended FA in mediation yes, I would more than have noticed it but it was mailed too late to reach my attorney prior to mediation and I never saw it until filing malpractice against my divorce attorney who sent me to the courthouse for a copy. Thats the 1dt I knew it existed.
Put another way, what do you have to lose by going to law enforcement? If you are resolved to not do anything, then I'm not sure why you posted your question. Yes, I think there is a chance that nothing will happen. I suspect the biggest problem will be proving your allegations. You may suspect fraud, and it may even be true, but proving it is another thing. Certainly depositions are under oath and you could probably obtain a a transcript of the deposition. I suppose between the deposition transcript and the letters there might be enough for law enforcement to investigate. But it's up to you to try. If you don't want to take the time to bring it to law enforcement then don't, but that's a guarantee that nothing will happen.
Thanks. I guess I am disillusioned with law enforcement and a system I thought based on justice and was venting. I already took proof of my emails and computer that were hacked and my IRA funds which were stolen by my ex but nothing done. I filed a complaint after my ex tried strangling me, hearing nothing, called the state attorney to be told they weren't following through because my ex had no record. I knew he did, with at least a page and a half of assault and assault/battery charges - all not guilty. They said it wasn't in their system. I have had to learn the hard way its not about right and wrong but about who has the power, connections and money.
Domestic Relations Court is a dangerous place. I prefer practicing in the criminal defense arena where the rules are more defined and for the most part are found honest and dedicated participants.Ask a similar question
From my one and only case I can certainly understand.
Perjury is sometimes enforced. If you have good proof, take it to the state attorney's office and follow up regularly. That's the best chance you have.Ask a similar question

The daughter of Laurence Fishburne has pleaded guilty to assaulting her boyfriend's ex and got 180 days in rehab.
Laurence Fishburne's porn star daughter has been sentenced to rehab after pleading guilty to assault with a deadly weapon. Montana Fishburne will serve 180 days in a treatment facility after allegedly beating up her boyfriend's former lover.
The adult actress, who shocked her family by fronting a salacious sex tape last year, was represented in court on Tuesday, March 1 by Lindsay Lohan's attorney Shawn Chapman Holley. It was a big win for Fishburne - according to TMZ.com, prosecutors were pressing for jail time.
Montana had previously pleaded not guilty to simple battery, false imprisonment, assault with a deadly weapon and trespassing charges, all of which stemmed from her allegedly breaking into the home of her boyfriend's ex, forcing her into the bathroom and repeatedly hitting her.

Congress should leave college football, BCS alone
There are a few things in this world that you don't ever want to hear.
"Hi, this is Bob from the IRS. Is this a good time to talk?"
You don't want to get a letter that begins, "Dear Sir. The results of your AIDS test have come back and we'd like you to call to make an immediate appointment with our office to discuss them."
Or, how about being the guys who run college football and you get this message: "Hi. We are the Congress of the United States and we are here to help."
The last one isn't all that funny, since that is essentially the message that came out of a hearing before the House Energy and Commerce Committee commerce, trade and consumer protection subcommittee last week.
We live, as Barack Obama never tires of telling us, in challenging times. Like most Americans, I want the best and the brightest working tirelessly, day and night, with a wonderful spirit of cooperation, to solve our problems.
We've got two wars going on and the very real possibility of a third and fourth on the horizon with North Korea and Iran.
Our economy is in shambles. Suddenly, by virtue of being a taxpayer, I own a piece of a few huge banking establishments and one slightly used car company.
The planet is getting warmer, the polar ice cap is melting (although I still don't know why I should care about this one, even though I do) and greenhouse gases may choke my grandchildren.
The health care system seems broken beyond repair, doctors and hospitals (especially here in southeastern Wisconsin) charge way too much, and as I get older my aches and pains have become much more pronounced and in need of that expensive medical care.
That's a lot of specific problems. Plus, the fact that there seems to be a lot of hate and fear between people in this world, there's a flu bug running around that might or might not make lots of people have runny noses and a cough and Taylor Swift is a big-time music star even though she makes me wince.
Bad stuff, but it will get better, as long as people pay attention to the problems and don't get sidetracked by stuff that really doesn't matter.
Congress is actually spending time, money and brainpower figuring out how it can force college football mucky-mucks to have a playoff system. One congressman from Texas, Joe Barton, has introduced legislation that would make it illegal for the NCAA to call a game a national championship unless it was the result of a playoff.
Like the man said when I drunkenly stumbled into this Tex-Mex music bar in Austin: "Get the hell out of here."
I know Obama said during the campaign that he favored a playoff system for college football. But that was more about proving his bona fides as a real sports fan than it was a call for legislative initiative.
We get it. Obama likes sports, both playing and watching.
Now, let's get on to the real business of life in Washington, D. C.
The guys who run the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) and pick their teams based on national poll rankings along with six computer categories aren't the greatest guys in the world. But it's their game.
I have a very good friend who was a judge when Summerfest tried to kick the midway off the grounds. My friend was the trial judge in the case. He loved the midway. But he ruled in favor of Summerfest. "It's always about who gets to decide," he said. Legally, Summerfest had the right to make the decision, right or wrong.
That's kind of what we've got here. The BCS boys have the rights. They control the money and the game. You don't like it? Tough. It's the only game in town.
Don't get me wrong -- I am strongly in favor of a college football playoff. I probably was in favor of it even before Obama was in favor of it. There's only one thing in the world of sports I want more than a college football playoff.
That's for the United States Congress to do what we pay them to do and stay the hell out of the world of sports.
WeDemandPlayoffs.com | May 12, 2009 at 7:06 p.m. (report)
Do college football bowl games generate hundreds of millions of revenue every year? Is that revenue restricted based on rules set up by a small majority of teams that prevents a major block from reaching the minority? Do most if not all teams and their parent institutions receive federal funds? The answer to all three questions is Yes. This is why Congress *should* be involved, because receipients of monies they dole out aren't playing fair with the others. And it's a HUGE amount of money we're talking about. Or are you suggesting the US Goverment should play favorites?

While I'd like to see congress work on something more important, the very matter of "important" is subjective to the audience. Paying attention to football is a token act to show voters that Congress cares about you, the little guy. (they don't) This issue isn't entirely frivolous, as it: 1) Reinforces the notion that the Government can and will regulate sports monopolies. The BCS may have the money and the game, but it's due to the fact that the government allows exclusive rights and profit sharing that would otherwise be illegal in many competitive industries. 2) Increases taxable cash flow. If a football playoffs makes more money for everyone in the food chain (not just the BCS), it means more taxable revenue. The income stream of college football is not insignificant, and I'll take any tax offset we can get. Someone has to pay the bill for America's services.

Yes, our very own Herb Kohl, who is chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on Antitrust, Competition Policy, and Consumer Rights will be heading up the hearing on the BCS. Madness! Voters need to think about this next time this buffoon is up for re-election. Career politicians..... But at least he gives us a competitive NBA team year in and year out. Cheers Wiscoleeds

House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) said Thursday that immigration reform is "absolutely not" a dead issue, but he offered no timetable for when he might scheduled a vote on legislation.
"I'm hopeful we can make progress on this very important issue," Boehner said at his weekly news conference on Capitol Hill.
House GOP leaders have said that there is not enough time to deal with immigration before the end of the year, alarming advocates who fear that Republicans are willing to let the momentum die after the Senate approved a comprehensive overhaul of border control laws in June. Proponents say passing an immigration bill next year could be tricky with the midterm elections approaching.
But Boehner insisted that his colleagues are still pursuing a series of smaller-scale immigration bills and he said that he was encouraged by President Obama's recent statements that he would support a piecemeal approach to legislation.
Perhaps alluding to the Affordable Care Act, Boehner said that "the American people are skeptical of big, comprehensive bills, and frankly, they should be. The only way to make sure immigration reform works this time is to address these complicated issues one step at a time. I think doing so will give the American people confidence that we're dealing with these issues in a thoughtful way and a deliberative way."
At a forum with business executives this week, Obama said of the House approach to immigration: "If they want to chop that thing up into five pieces, as long as all five pieces get done, I don't care what it looks like, as long as it's actually delivering on those core values that we talk about."
Yet the sticking point remains a path to citizenship for the nation's 12 million undocumented immigrants. While the Senate bill would allow most of those immigrants to pursue citizenship over a 13-year period, most House Republicans have not supported such a measure. House committees have deliberated over bills focused on increased border control and tougher laws governing undocumented immigrants.
Still, Boehner reiterated that he believes "Congress needs to deal with this issue. Our committees are continuing to do their work. There are a lot of private conversations that are underway to try to figure out, how do we best move on a common-sense, step-by-step basis to address this very important issue."

My Essay
I love routing and connecting networks. As I'm building networks using protocols like OSPF, EIGRP, and RIP I like improving security on networks as well. Improving security is vital now and days with the amount of threats that exists and gets spread across networks now and days. Earning this scholarship will provide the foundation and help me financially when it comes to finishing my bachelor's degree in Information Security with Franklin University. Right now, it's been hard trying to find the resources needed so I can finish my degree program and earning this scholarship will be a big help. Currently, I am 3 semesters away from graduation and when I earn this scholarship it will push closer to my graduation date so I can earn my degree and get me a step closer toward implementing, improving, and joining networks all around the world.

Josh's #1 Interest
I am extremely interested in fishing. Specifically, Largemouth Bass and Catfish fishing. I am a full-time student at Ohio University Lancaster, plus I am married and have an 18 month old daughter. Although I am immensely blessed, I don't get to go fishing as much as I would like to. Fishing is a unique hobby in that sometimes you might be there for 8 hours without ever getting a bite, while other days you might catch 10 fish in an hour. Mainly, you have to enjoy the art and technique of fishing, and not how many fish you catch at any given time.
When I go fishing for Largemouth Bass, I choose very specific tackle. I have had good luck with twister tails, large and small spinner baits, small jigs, and just the basic hook and worm setup. Generally, I cast my line out and immediately begin to reel the line back in. If you wait too long before reeling your line back in, it will sink to the bottom and your tackle setup could get caught in debris laying on the bottom of where ever you're fishing.
Fishing for Catfish is more about the bait and time rather than the tackle you choose to use. I've found that using Night crawlers or Chicken Livers secured on a hook work really well. Unlike Bass fishing, you want your line setup to sink to the bottom because Catfish are bottom feeding fish. When they are skimming across the bottom for food they come across your bait and hopefully take a bite! Also, timing is important. Catfish are the most active a night, thus night fishing is the best time to fish for this breed of fish. Another good time to catch Catfish is immediately following rain. I think the change in water temperature makes these fish more active.

text: Hi, as a simple solution, you may try configure the default settings in torque (not maui) with something like resources_default.nodes = slow or resources_default.nodes = 1:slow either at queue level or even for the server as a whole. These can be overriden by qsub options (in contrast to settings of "neednodes", which are mandatory for the users). I haven't tried this with node properties so far, but I know that "resources_default.nodes = 1:ppn=4" provides a default allocation which can be changed by explicit user commands.

Watch live coverage of President Obama announcing the nomination of solicitor General Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court.
The solicitor general will influence all cases the government pursues across the whole bureaucracy.
Studies show that, in the past, the solicitor general won approximately 70 percent of its cases in the Supreme Court.
Justice Elena Kagan was recused from the case because she participated in the suit as solicitor general.
She has of course served as solicitor general to, it seems, mixed reviews.
His banker's accounts, his architect's estimates, his solicitor's statements, were all brought forward and discussed.
A Barrister is forced to do his best for his client, but a solicitor is not.
He told her he had already seen his solicitor, the clever Mr. Smallshaw, and she said she didn't care.
Mr. Simmons says he's clerk to a Mr. Hollis, a London solicitor.
"Mr. Royson will please take the stand," said the solicitor.
early 15c., "one who urges," from Middle French soliciteur, from soliciter (see solicit). Meaning "one who conducts matters on behalf of another" is from early 15c. As a name for a specific class of legal practitioners in Britain, it is attested from 1570s. Both the fem. forms, solicitress (1630s) and solicitrix (1610s), have been in the sexual sense, but the latter seems more common in non-pejorative use.

I disagree that lack of "enforcement" is an insurmountable goal.

Answering these

More basic than the questions Al brought up and the administrative overhead which Naomi brought up... this is a question we wrestled with when Molly volunteered to clean for us. ĀThere was a funny issue that we could pay her and have her pay her dues, but we couldn't offer her a membership in exchange. ĀI don't remember all the details, but I remember being told it was against the non-profit rules.

Also, it doesn't address the problem brought up earlier of having people committed to classes, which I'm still struggling with in my mind.

Get the legal help you need at a fixed price. No hidden fees or long-term commitment.
When a person is too young to make decisions or is incapacitated and can no longer care for their own interests, guardian law allows the court to appoint someone to make legal and welfare decisions for them. A legal guardian may be appointed as a limited decision-maker or an all-purpose decision-maker. For example, children whose parents are divorcing often have limited legal guardians help decide custody issues. Nursing home residents may need a general legal guardian to make all their welfare decisions for them. Guardianship lawyers advise you about the appropriate legal guardianship for your particular circumstances. They also help with guardianship forms and other legal paperwork, and represent the guardian once one is appointed.

The Chesapeake Bay's dead zone measured near average in size this past summer, coming close to scientists' June prediction of a smaller than average hypoxic zone in the nation's largest estuary.
Dead zones, or areas of little to no dissolved oxygen, form when nutrient-fueled algae blooms die. The bacteria that aid in algae bloom decomposition suck up oxygen from the surrounding waters. The resulting hypoxic or anoxic conditions can suffocate marine life, shrinking the habitat available for fish, crabs and other critters.
Each summer, the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) collect water samples to measure the hypoxic volume of the Bay. Since 1983, this number has ranged from 15.3 to 33.1 percent. In 2013, it measured 22.1 percent: 5.6 percent higher than the previous year and just above the 21.9 percent average.
According to a report from the DNR, the size of the dead zone could be due to nutrient loadings that entered the Bay during late spring and early summer rains.
Protecting undeveloped land, planting native trees and monitoring forests for insects and disease: each of these actions can conserve critical forest habitat, and each has been put into practice across the region by this year's Chesapeake Forest Champions.
A researcher, a forester, a teacher and a regional water provider were among the four award-winners in the annual contest sponsored by the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) and the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay.
"The need for local champions of trees and forests has never been greater," said USFS liaison to the Chesapeake Bay Program Sally Claggett in a media release.
Across the watershed, forests are disappearing at an average rate of 100 acres per day, which can mean less habitat for wildlife and more pollution flowing into rivers and streams. But the examples set by these Chesapeake Forest Champions are a "continual reminder of the positive local action and careful land stewardship that is taking place to restore our treasured natural resources," said Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay Executive Director Al Todd.
Newport News Waterworks was named an Exemplary Forest Steward. The regional water provider serves 400,000 Virginia residents and manages 12,000 acres of land, more than half of which has been a certified American Tree Farm since 1947. Here, farm fields have been reforested, stands of timber have been improved and insects, disease and invasive plants have been monitored and controlled.
Maryland middle school teacher John Smucker was commended for Greatest On-the-Ground Impact in light of his talent as a volunteer organizer and environmental educator. Smucker grows trees and shrubs from seed in a Frederick County nursery, which he and his volunteers plant across the region. Smucker also remains involved in forest maintenance, watering trees throughout the summer, mowing tall grasses and replanting trees that have died.
Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) District Forester Roy Brubaker was named Most Effective at Engaging the Public. Brubaker manages 85,000 acres of land and water at Michaux State Forest, where he engages stakeholders to resolve issues related to public use. As owner and operator of a grass-fed livestock farm, Brubaker is also involved in sustainable agriculture in the state, and has helped promote forest management to the region's farmers.
Stroud Water Research Center President and Director Bern Sweeney received the Lifetime Achievement Award for his research and writing about the environmental impact of streamside forests. For more than two decades, Sweeney has worked to demonstrate the link between healthy forests and healthy streams.
The Chesapeake Forest Champions were celebrated at the Chesapeake Watershed Forum in Shepherdstown, W.Va. The eighth annual conference also commemorated the three decades of restoration work in which so much of the conservation community has been engaged. Learn more about the winners.

In an effort to allow people who need to wear corrective lenses to do so safely while playing Rugby and to accommodate people with monocular vision or chronic eye conditions who wish to wear goggles while playing Rugby, World Rugby has developed specific goggles – "Rugby Goggles". Rugby Goggles have been developed with a view to posing no additional risk to the wearer and other players.
The Rugby Goggles developed have undergone a series of tests designed to ensure that they are as safe as possible for use in Rugby including tests on:
The Rugby Goggles are not designed to provide extra protection for the wearer, but to allow corrective lenses to be worn without causing any greater risk of injury to any player.
In addition to the suitability of the Rugby Goggles for those requiring corrective lenses, the Rugby Goggles may also be used by people who suffer from chronic eye conditions. This includes people with monocular vision, restricted vision in one or both eyes and people with eye conditions that put them at a greater risk of eye-damage than the general population. While the Rugby Goggles are not designed to provide extra protection for such individuals, they may be worn for that purpose if the individual considers that it is beneficial to do so.
World Rugby has developed a Global Law Trial to field test the Rugby Goggles' design and obtain data for the purposes of developing a Rugby Goggles specification. The purpose of the field test is (i) to ensure that the Rugby Goggles perform as designed, namely that they provide players with a means of wearing corrective lenses safely during contact Rugby; (ii) to ascertain the suitability of the design for ease of use; and (iii) to ascertain if further specific field or laboratory tests are required.
The Rugby Goggles are only available in one size and are designed to fit anyone (by adjusting the headband). The Rugby Goggles will not be provided with prescription lenses in them. Once the Rugby Goggles have been received, the player will need to take them to his/her optician and have plastic lenses inserted in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. If the player does not require corrective lenses, the player may remove the lens-insert in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and may use the Rugby Goggles as provided.
It should be noted that only those Rugby Goggles carrying the official World Rugby Trial Approved logo will be permitted to be used in the trial, and all participants must demonstrate their need for the Rugby Goggles through a letter from their ophthalmologist (or similar expert) stating that there is an ophthalmic or medical need for their use. Inspections and checks may be performed by match referees to ensure that all participants have complied with these conditions.
The use of the Rugby Goggles is permitted in any game of Rugby. Any player who considers the risks inherent in playing with or against someone wearing the Rugby Goggles to be outside of acceptable levels of risk is free to choose not to participate in the game however the use of the Rugby Goggles is not grounds for preventing the wearer from playing in the game.
The success or otherwise of the Global Law Trial will determine whether Rugby Goggles will be permitted to be worn beyond the trial period and enable World Rugby to provide a Rugby Goggles Specification. It is therefore essential that World Rugby receives feedback from all those who elect to become part of the trial by purchasing and using a pair of the Rugby Goggles.
More information on the manufacturer's web site at www.raleri.com
To purchase a pair of World Rugby Goggles, the first step is to log in using using your World Rugby Passport credentials. If you're not already registered with World Rugby Passport, follow the Register link below. Once you're logged in, there's a short application form to complete, after which you'll be given a purchase code for use on the site of the manufacturer, Raleri.
This list of questions and answers will be added to as required through feedback from participants using the online feedback form. If responses to specific questions are required please contact your national Union. All contact details can be found on the World Rugby website.

A week in Torra Conservancy
By Molly Estabrook (University of Vermont '15)
This week was very exciting as we completed our first week of game drives, point counts, and bush camping in the Palmwag Concession and in Torra Conservancy. The week was filled with many great first time animal sightings for us, including: Black Rhino, Lion, Spotted-Hyena, Kudu, Meerkats, Red Hartebeest, and Elephants. In addition to very successful game drives and point counts, we had a blast with our first week of bush camping.
Our first night started off very eventful and was one of the highlights of the week! As we began to pull into our campsite at Palm we spotted our first two Elephants heading away from us. We did a quick U-turn and headed further down the road to get a better view. Instead of seeing just the two elephants, we saw 27! The four of us were beyond ecstatic and began taking dozens of photos. The elephants were rolling in the mud, getting "dust baths", or eating leaves off the nearby trees. They ranged from young of year to mature adults. Due to the herd of elephants passing through, our night continued to be eventful as our game guard, Ephraim had to fix the water pipe that was broken by the herd in the riverbed.
Our days of bush camping are never dull. Not only do we constantly enjoy the chatter between the hyenas, jackals, donkeys, barking gecko, and the pearl-spotted owlet nightly, we also have had adventures battling with the wind in the Huab riverved as it tried to sweep away one of our tents. To end our fabulous week with the Torra game guards, Erick and Ephraim, we spent our last night in Torra camping at the Krone campsite. After dinner we sat around the fire and taught each other our different national anthems. We sang the Namibia, Canadian, and American anthems. When we were done having the sing-off we all grabbed our sleeping bags and scampered up to a big flat rock that had a spectacular view overlooking the landscape and the sky. We fell asleep under the full moon and stars with barking geckos quietly chirping throughout the night, the view was absolutely incredible. It was an excellent way to end an amazing week in Torra Conservancy.

The Nationals probably know that they'll hear it from their fans if they fail to draft and sign Stephen Strasburg. From the sounds of it, they'll probably hear it from their players too:
The Nationals have the first pick in the June draft, so Strasburg can be theirs. All they have to do is take him — and then pay the price.
What's interesting is that the Nationals' players seem more interested in how hard Strasburg throws than in how much money he wants. On a team with a $60 million payroll, a team where no player is making more this year than the $8 million the Nats are paying Dunn, there seems to be little or no resentment for a guy who might want as much as $50 million before throwing his first professional pitch.
"I don't care," rookie pitcher Jordan Zimmermann said. "It's not my money" . . . "If he's as good as everyone says, it makes sense to sign him," Dunn said. "If he's as good as everyone says, it's a no-brainer. He could probably be here in August."
The way the Nats will blow the Strasburg thing is if they think it's about money. But contrary to what a good friend of mine says, this time, it's not about the money, stupid. It's about credibility. Can the Nats prove to their fanbase that they're worth the financial and emotional investment? Can they prove to their own players and other players around the league that they're a credible bidder for their services? Strasburg could end up getting injured or being a bust or both, and if that happens, it will certainly hurt. But nowhere near as much as not bringing him into the fold would hurt this team.

...Tackle Jon Jansen did not practice and had his right thumb taped. He received a cortisone shot Tuesday to alleviate the pain and he'll practice in a cast the rest of the season. But he will not play in one. Jansen also will need surgery on that thumb after the season.
...It was cold today. Darn cold. Brrrrr. The Redskins will be happy to get to the desert; it won't be too hot for them, either. Forecast is for the mid-60s in Tempe.
...Don't underestimate what players such as Ryan Boschetti can do. He's improved tremendously on his base and he's very, very strong. Boschetti likes to do the grunt work, a necessary trait for playing over the center. He set up Phillip Daniels well last week. Maybe Boschetti had only one tackle, but he can help against the run without making many plays.
...The best part of the job comes on Wednesday when coach Joe Gibbs has his weekly press conference. After the TV cameras go away, a few print reporters are left to pick his brain on various topics. We'll often chat with him another 10-15 minutes, sometimes joking around (like when he talked about his favorite comic strip, the Wizard of Id, and his favorite movie, Young Frankenstein). Or it can be more football related. But it always provides insight. Today, he talked about Clinton Portis and how, when Gibbs asks him what plays he wants to run, he'll often point out 40- or 50-gut. Portis does not shy away from the power stuff.
...Former Redskins kicker Nick Novak will stay on Arizona's roster the rest of the season, even after Neil Rackers returns from a calf injury.
coach Dennis Green recruited Coy Gibbs to Stanford. Called him a ''classic
middle linebacker.''
Injury Report
Washington -- LB LaVar Arrington (thigh), DT
Joe Salave'a (foot), WR James Thrash (hamstring) and DT Cedric Killings (groin)
are questionable; S Ryan Clark (ankle), DT Cornelius Griffin (hip), LT Chris Samuels (knee), WR Santana Moss (hamstring) are probable. Moss injured himself
in practice and returned inside to receive treatment. Coach Joe Gibbs called it
a precautionary measure. None of these players practiced.
Arizona -- G Elton Brown (knee) and K Neil Rackers (calf) are doubtful; CB Eric Green (groin), CB Antrel Rolle (knee), RB Marcell Shipp (neck), RB James Jackson (hamstring) and G Jeremy Bridges (ankle) are probable. Brown, Rackers and Green did not participate in team drills today.

Long-term goal of this laboratory is to develop oligonucleotide aptamer based synthetic antibodies for biological and biomedical applications. Therefore, this research program is aimed at generating new aptamers against biologically important cellular targets, and molecular engineering of multifunctional aptamer structures suitable for drug delivery.
Nucleic acid aptamers (nucleic acid based antibody analogues) are short DNA/RNA sequences, which specifically bind to a target molecule with high affinity and/or specificity. The method of selecting aptamers is called systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX).
Our laboratory is focused on two major areas of aptamer research:

Aziz Poonawalla has moved; his new blog name is City of Brass (though the name may be new, the look is surprisingly similar to his old blog). I've updated the link on the side accordingly.
I like what Aziz wrote about a photograph -- it appeared in the Washington Post's Outlook Section, among other places -- of U.S. soldiers sitting in a Mosque in Fallujah, shoes on, weapons in hand. On Sunday, I ran into one Muslim friend who, as it happened, was deeply offended by the picture (or feigning offense to try to draw me into an argument -- sometimes it's difficult to tell). I wish I'd had a copy of this article to show him for comparison.
Meanwhile, Aziz seems to be considering what may be a serious ramification of that otherwise silly Da Vinci Code book. If past is prologue, I fully expect that the movie will sink or swim on its merits as a film, although any controversy will likely boost it somewhat. Anyone who's sat all the way through the charmless Last Temptation of Christ -- with its hipster doofus James, method mobster Judas, and lizard king Pilate, among other badly miscast characters -- did so, I suspect, more to pique the religious right than out of any desire for intellectual engagement or aesthetic pleasure.Posted by Ideofact at November 16, 2004 11:59 PM

My Problems with Plasic Wrap
My Nana was a pro with plastic wrap. I always have trouble with it. Do you have trouble with it sometimes. Now don't get me wrong, this stuff is great and it works! When the person wripping it off can actually do it. I was trying to cover grapes and yesterday I just couldn't pull it off right, then I didn't cover them with 1 sheet, I needed another. While writing this I'm giggling a little because it's so not important in big scheme of things. But I was thinking, "Am I the only person that has trouble with this stuff"?
What's your trick when it comes to Plastic Wrap? Are you a pro? What tips do you have to help it work a little easier?

"The Swerve" is a disposable razor designed for trimming the back of the neck and — erk — upper back in-between trips to the barber. (That is presuming you go for the full back shave at your barber. Personally, I prefer a more natural, winterized look, with festive garland braided in for the holidays.)
You can get a Swerve for $5 or $13 for a three-pack.

|Captain Jack's Kodak Retina Rangefinder Lenses
The optical firms of Schneider Kreuznach and Rodenstock München supplied lenses to Kodak for the Retina series of cameras. From the model IIIc through the IIIS, two styles of lenses were manufactured.
The first group, for the folding Retina IIc, IIC, IIIc and IIIC will be discussed and pictured first. Then, a discussion and display of the lenses produced for the Kodak Retina IIIS will follow. All of the earlier Retina rangefinder cameras had fixed, non-interchangeable lenses.
I will continue to add additional Retina lenses to this web page as they can be located and my collecting funds permit.
The Folding Retina Interchangeable Lenses
Normal 50mm Lenses
The Retina IIc and IIC were supplied with either a Schneider Kreuznach 50mm f2.8 Retina-Xenon C lens or a Rodenstock 50mm f2.8 Retina-Heligon C lens.
Likewise, the Retina IIIc and IIIC were supplied with either a 50mm f2.0 Retina-Xenon C or the 50mm f20 Retina-Heligon C. The cameras supplied with the Schneider lens are much more commonly encountered.
35mm Wide Angle Lenses
Two different wide angle lenses from each of the two manufacturers noted above were produced and could be utilized on any of the 4 folding Retinas with interchangeable lenses with restrictions. The wide angle and telephoto lenses manufactured by Schneider can only be used on cameras that were manufactured with normal Schneider lenses. The same is true with the Rodenstock optics; they should only be used on cameras supplied with the normal Rodenstock lenses.
The smaller lens had a maximum aperture of f5.6 and was called from Schneider, the 35mm Retina-Curtar-Xenon C or from Rodenstock, the 35mm Retina-Heligon C. The larger lens had a maximum aperture of f4.0 and were similarly named. As with the normal lenses, the Rodenstock wide angle lenses are less commonly found.
|The Schneider 35mm f5.6 Retina-Curtar-Xenon C is displayed first with it proper box and storage container.
|The second photo shows the larger Schneider 35mm f4.0 version again with its proper box and container.
80mm Telephoto Lenses
Schneider produced the 80mm f4.0 Retina-Longar-Xenon C and Rodenstock, the 80mm f4.0 Retina-Heligon C with the latter lens being less commonly encountered as with the normal and wide angle lenses.
The Schneider 80mm f4.0 Retina-Longar-Xenon C is displayed with its proper box and storage container.
The Retina IIIS Lenses
Normal 50mm Lenses
The Kodak Retina IIIS could have been purchased with any of four different normal lenses, two from Schneider and two from Rodenstock. Schneider lenses were either the 50mm f2.8 Retina-Xenar or the faster 50mm f1.9 Retina-Xenon. The Rodenstock offerings were either the 50mm f2.8 Retina-Ysarex or the 50mm f1.9 Retina-Heligon. Again, the Rodenstock lenses are much less common and command a premium in the market place.
|Both of the 50mm f1.9 lenses are displayed on the left.
|The Schneider 50mm f2.8 Retina-Xenar is displayed. Most IIIS cameras are encountered with this lens.
28mm Wide Angle Lens
The widest angle lens produced for the Kodak Retina IIIS was manufactured by Schneider Kreuznach, the 28mm f4.0 Retina-Curtagon. Its field of view exceeded that of the IIIs viewfinder so Kodak produced an auxiliary finder to be used with it.
|The 28mm Schneider Curtagon is displayed with its proper box and storage container in the first photo. Lens came from Kodak with a short lens hood.
|The second photo shows the 28mm Auxiliary Viewfinder with its proper box.
30mm Wide Angle Lens
Rodenstock produced what is perhaps the most sought after lens for the Kodak Retina IIIS, the Rodenstock 30mm f2.8 Retina-Eurygon. Infrequently found, the 30mm Retina-Eurygon commands respectable prices on the used market. It is interesting that Schneider elected to produce two wide angle lenses, the 28mm Retina-Curtagon discussed and pictured above and the 35mm f2.8 Retina-Curtagon shown in the next paragraph. The in-between 30mm focal length of the Retina-Eurygon is a good compromise.
|The uncommon 30mm Rodenstock Retina-Eurygon is displayed.
35mm Wide Angle Lens
The most frequently encountered wide angle lens for the Retina IIIS is the Schneider 35mm f2.8 Retina-Curtagon. It was very affordable when new and can be found quite easily on the used market today.
|The 35mm Schneider Retina-Curtagon is displayed with its proper box and storage container.
85mm Telephoto Lenses
Both Schneider and Rodenstock produced short telephoto lenses in the 85mm focal length, perfect for portraiture. Both had f/4 maximum apertures with the Rodenstock much less commonly encountered. Both lenses are very compact in size and not much bigger than the normal 50mm f2.8 lenses.
|The 85mm Schneider Retina-Tele-Arton is displayed first with its proper box and storage container.
The 85mm Rodenstock Retina-Rotelar is displayed with its proper storage container only.
135mm Telephoto Lenses
Both Schneider and Rodenstock also produced 135mm telephoto lenses for the Retina IIIS. The 135mm Schneider Retina-Tele-Xenar is the most frequently encountered telephoto lens for the IIIS and the 135 Rodenstock Retina-Rotelar, although uncommon, is less uncommon than the other IIIS Rodenstock lens offerings.
|The 135mm Schneider Retina-Tele-Xenar is displayed with its proper box and storage container.
|The 135mm Rodenstock Retina-Rotelar is shown with its storage container only.
200mm Telephoto Lens
Really designed for the Kodak Retina Reflex III and IV cameras, the Schneider 200mm f4.8 Retina-Tele-Xenar lens can be fitted to the Retina IIIS. Viewing and focusing, however, leaves much to be desired as the lens does not couple to the IIIS rangefinder and must be scale-focused. There are no 200mm frame lines in the IIIS viewfinder. The 200 Retina-Tele-Xenar can be found in both a chrome and a less frequently encountered black enamel finish.
|The uncommon 200mm f4.8 Schneider Retina-Tele-Xenar lens is displayed with its proper leather storage case and lens hood.

Identity-based non-interactive key exchange (IB-NIKE) is a powerful but a bit overlooked primitive in identity-based cryptography. While identity-based encryption and signature have been extensively investigated over the past three decades, IB-NIKE has remained largely unstudied. Currently, there are only few IB-NIKE schemes in the literature. Among them, Sakai-Ohgishi-Kasahara (SOK) scheme is the first efficient and secure IB-NIKE scheme, which has great influence on follow-up works. However, the SOK scheme required its identity mapping function to be modeled as a random oracle to prove security. Moreover, the existing security proof heavily relies on the ability of programming the random oracle. It is unknown whether such reliance is inherent.
In this work, we intensively revisit the SOK IB-NIKE scheme, and present a series of possible and impossible results in the random oracle model and the standard model. In the random oracle model, we first improve previous security analysis for the SOK IB-NIKE scheme by giving a tighter reduction. We then use meta-reduction technique to show that the SOK scheme is unlikely proven to be secure based on the computational bilinear Diffie-Hellman (CBDH) assumption without programming the random oracle. In the standard model, we show how to instantiate the random oracle in the SOK scheme with a concrete hash function from admissible hash functions (AHFs) and indistinguishability obfuscation.
The resulting scheme is fully adaptive-secure based on the decisional bilinear Diffie-Hellman inversion (DBDHI) assumption. To the best of our knowledge, this is first fully adaptive-secure IB-NIKE scheme in the standard model that does not explicitly require multilinear maps. Previous schemes in the standard model either have merely selective security or use multilinear maps as a key ingredient. Of particular interest, we generalize the definition of AHFs, and propose a generic construction which enables AHFs with previously unachieved parameters.

Penn State's Maya Hayes
Penn State senior Maya Hayes has been named Philly Soccer News Women's College Player of the Week for the week ending September 15.
The senior from West Orange, N.J. earned the honor after registering four goals and one assist during a three-game road trip last week.
Hayes amassed nine points on the week, leading the Nittany Lions to victories over all three of their opponents. She scored game-winning goals against both Oklahoma State and Tulsa. Hayes tallied one goal and one assist at Bucknell in PSU's 6-0 shutout against the Bison on Tuesday. She then went on to score two goals in Friday's 4-2 win at Oklahoma State and notched another goal in Sunday's 3-2 triumph over Tulsa.
With 61 total goals, Hayes is now in sole possession of third place in Penn State's career-goals ledger. The two-time NSCAA All-American also moves into the fourth spot on the career points record list with a total of 140 points in 74 games. No active player in Division I women's soccer has posted more career goals or points than Hayes.
Hayes, who was also named Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week, leads the Big Ten and is tied for third in the Division I standings for total goals (9) and points (21) this year. She also has the highest goals per game (1.12) and points per game (2.41) averages in the Big Ten this season.
Philly Soccer News Women's College Player of the Week
Week ending August 25: Kelsey Haycook, La Salle Explorers
Week ending September 1: Katie Martin, Villanova
Week ending September 8: Renee Washington, La Salle Explorers
Week ending September 15: Maya Hayes, Penn State Nittany Lions

- The Environmental Working Group (EWG) does not represent mainstream scientific views on the health risks from chemicals. According to a survey conducted for the George Mason University Statistical Assessment Service by pollster Harris International, 79 percent of members of the Society of Toxicology — experts on health risks from chemicals — who expressed an opinion thought EWG overstated chemical risks. Small wonder then that some call the EWG the Environmental "Worrying" Group.
- EWG helped promote the dangerous and false idea that vaccines cause autism. In 2004, EWG published a report ("Overloaded? New Science, new insights about mercury and autism in children") that raised "serious concerns about the studies that have allegedly proven the safety of mercury in vaccines." The entire scare — cooked up in large part by a disgraced British physician whose license to practice was stripped for misconduct that bordered on fraud — was found baseless by the Institute of Medicine and the Centers for Disease Control. The wide-scale scaremongering by EWG and other groups has led to declines in vaccination rates that have led to the reemergence of previously all-but-eradicated diseases like measles.
- EWG scaremongers against foods produced with biotechnology (GMOs). EWG leads a campaign to place what a Politico reporter called "warning labels" on foods produced using biotechnology. Experts including the World Health Organization, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the European Food Safety Authority, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the American Medical Association find biotech foods just as safe as their non-biotech equivalents. As the editorial board of Scientific American recently noted, "Compared with conventional breeding techniques—which swap giant chunks of DNA between one plant and another—genetic engineering is far more precise and, in most cases, is less likely to produce an unexpected result."
- EWG exaggerates risks from commonly used cosmetics products. The EWG ran and later spun off the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics (CSC), which alleged that "industry [can] put virtually any chemical into cosmetics with … no monitoring of health effects." This claim is inaccurate: The FDA has the power to inflict stiff penalties on cosmetics producers who market unsafe products. CSC's most prominent claim, a scaremongering attack on lead levels in lipstick versus permitted levels in drinking water, was adjudged by the FDA to be based on a comparison that is "not scientifically valid." (Hopefully nobody's eating lipstick.) In the STATS/Harris International survey, 66 percent of Society of Toxicology members disagreed that cosmetics were "a significant health risk."
- EWG has been criticized for attacking consumption of fresh produce by scaremongering about trace amounts of pesticides. Each year, EWG releases a list it calls the "dirty dozen" of the produce items with the highest pesticide residues. It encourages people to choose the more expensive organic versions of those products, but a University of California, Davis analysis of the list found that unnecessary. The UC-Davis report noted, "Consumer exposures to the ten most frequently detected pesticides on EWG's 'Dirty Dozen' commodity list are at negligible levels" and that "consumption of organic produce should not be equated with consumption of pesticide-free produce." Ultimately, EWG appears to deny the central tenet of toxicology that "the dose makes the poison."

The year 4 students at Haberfield Public School agree that most adults have no idea how to speak to children.
''My mum, when she talks to me and my friends, she kind of talks in her kid voice,'' Viveca says. ''Her voice kind of goes a pitch higher and she's like, 'Hey darling' … I suppose there is something different between adults and kids, but she doesn't have to make it so obvious.''
Olivia's problems go deeper. Her parents either treat her like a university student or a toddler. ''When they're not shooting too high, they go really low,'' Olivia says.
Ayla complains that her parents can be bores. ''They usually ask me, how's school?'' she says. ''What's going on in my life? What do you like? They keep on repeating those questions every time I see them.''
To these students, it's obvious how adults should address nine-year-olds versus, say, 13-year-olds or five-year-olds. But many adults find such nuances perplexing.
A child psychologist for more than 25 years, Carol Boland says confusion about how to talk to children is behind many of the family disputes she has mediated. ''There was often a mismatch between what the parents thought they were saying and what the kids were hearing,'' Boland says.
Too many conversations begin with cliched questions, and too often the child's reply is squashed by a ''That's nice, dear''.
''They are so over being asked, 'Tell me about school. Do you like school? And what are your favourite subjects?''' Boland says. ''That's when you get the monosyllabic answers.''
Jennifer Hudson, an associate professor at Macquarie University who specialises in child psychology, has noticed many parents fail to ''get down to the child's level'' - not just verbally, but physically.
''If you really want to communicate with a child, it is not going to happen if you are towering over them,'' Hudson says.
''Getting down to their level will help parents start the conversation on the right track.''
Haberfield's year 4 students offer a longer list of advice. They are most troubled by pet names, baby talk, speaking in code and repetitive questions. They would prefer adults were honest with them rather than give ''over-the-top'' praise.
Getting down to their level will help parents start the conversation on the right track.
But some tips might work better in theory than in practice.
The comedian, best-selling children's author and mother of two, Wendy Harmer, recalls her seven-year-old daughter barrelling up to the dinner table to show the party of adults a picture she had drawn. It was, Harmer remembers, ''a house with a stick person and a pretty crappy-looking tree''.
''I said to her, 'Maeve, that's not very good','' Harmer says. ''And, you know, her face fell and everyone said, 'How can you possibly say such a thing?' But all she had done was sort of dash this thing off so she could come out to the table and say, 'Mum, here's a picture' and everyone would say it was beautiful. I mean, try harder.''
If Harmer's approach sounds harsh, then adults might consider year 4 student Alistair's gentler, but vaguer, advice. ''They need to get the right voice and the right thing to say so you can feel comfortable talking to them,'' he says. ''It has to kind of be a mixture of both.''
Speak their language
How to talk to children, according to the year 4 class at Haberfield Public School.
❏ Speak in an adult tone, but use child-appropriate vocabulary.
❏ Avoid pet names.
❏ Don't brag about offspring to other parents (especially not within earshot).
❏ Avoid asking repetitive questions, such as, ''How was school?'' Instead, inquire about our interests. And tell us about your interests.
❏ Spend more time with us to have spontaneous conversations.

Windows Vista: Twenty Questions
On August 25, PC Magazine held an online eSeminar on Windows Vista.
- Windows Vista: Twenty Questions
- Can you change the time without being an admin?
- What can you tell us about the structure/architecture of this new OS? Is this a rewrite of XP?
- Have you tested Windows 95/98/NT3/NT4 applications with Vista's File and Registry Virtualization?
- Will older hardwareprinters, scanners, and so forthwork with Vista?
- If I try out Beta 1 on my home computer, what kind of functionality will I lose?
- Will Windows Vista dual-boot with Windows XP?
- When you do a search in Vista, will the results appear as you type, as with Apple's Spotlight?
- Windows XP's search engine often failed to find files. Will Vista be any better?
- We use a number of 16-bit utilities. Will 16-bit apps run in the Vista environment?
- Will I be able to install Vista on a Celeron 466-MHz PC?
- What is your estimate on the time it would take to deploy the new OS, and how much employee training is needed?
- Will the image-based install replace Ghost?
- How well will drive defrag and drive cleanup work?
- Will there be a 'classic' view so you can retain the Windows 2000 look and feel?
- If you do things like change the screen resolution or move the taskbar, will they affect all user accounts on the PC or just the account that made the change?
- The beta 1 release will not be made available to MSDN or Technet subscribers in any form. Please explain.
- Please explain what WinFS is and what it will provide. What is the difference between NTFS and WinFS?
- Windows XP indexing caused a fair amount of overhead. Is this improved in Vista?
- Is Giant AntiSpyware included in Vista?
- Is Windows Vista a 64-bit operating system?
Alice Parker
The beta is "not meant for use on production systems." Translated, that means that you shouldn't install it on a system that contains any irreplaceable programs or data. Just about any functionality might not work, and many features aren't implemented completely. The product looks pretty good and includes most of the expected elements, but you shouldn't depend on it.NJR

Paltel signs agreement with PITA to increase Palestinian internet use
Paltel and the Palestinian Information Technologies Association of Companies (PITA) have agreed to enter into strategic cooperation through the signing of a joint initiative aimed at enhancing the resources required for developing Internet services and penetration in Palestine.
The initiative is based on the regulatory environment that is facilitated by the Ministry of Post and Telecommunications. The cooperation is a step to help reach national objectives of increasing Internet usage by 10 percent of the population in one year.
To achieve the goals of this initiative, PALTEL has voluntarily agreed to refrain from entering the Internet Service Provision business to end users in Palestine, despite being licensed to do so. Paltel's role will be to provide all infrastructure and backbone services required by the ISP's, that are represented by PITA. In turn the ISP's can expect to maximize the benefits from this initiative in order to provide optimal services to their end users at reasonable prices.
In addition, all existing ISP's have agreed to refrain from providing any services whether in the realm of infrastructure, backbone services, or access from any telecommunication service provider except from Paltel, as it is the sole licensee by the Ministry of Post and Telecommunication.
The two parties will engage in marketing efforts via strategies to alleviate penetration obstacles such as availability of relevant goods and services such as home PC's, modems and telephone services. Both sides will also work to promote Internet awareness and the new prospects the Internet shall bring to the general development of the population and the country.
The private sector in Palestine has relied heavily on the Internet communication, video conferencing including other forms of telecommunications to transact its business between remote locations given the difficulty of travel between cities as a result of the ongoing hostilities. — (menareport.com)

Dear Editor:
Thank you for the new humor column by Jim Thompson ("Really setting the facts straight," AFN, Nov. 17). I laughed out loud when I read that the Republican leadership really wanted to drop the tax cuts for the richest 1 percent of our nation. Ha! As I recall, one leader said that and was quickly corrected.
Better yet, when I followed his suggestion that we simply Google for answers - there it was. Ha! Good one, Jim! Keep up the laughs.

Tiger Woods announced today on his website that he is out of next week's British Open because his left knee has not fully healed.
"Unfortunately, I've been advised that I should not play in the British Open," Woods said. "As I stated at the AT&T National, I am only going to come back when I'm 100 percent ready. I do not want to risk further injury. That's different for me, but I'm being smarter this time. I'm very disappointed and want to express my regrets to the British Open fans."
Woods, who has entered in seven tour events this year, suffered a mild medial collateral ligament sprain to his left knee and Achilles tendon while playing in the Masters. He then played nine holes in The Players Championship in early May before having to withdraw.
Woods, who has had four surgeries on his knee, is a three-time British Open Champion. He finished fourth in the Masters but was unable to play the U.S. Open two weeks ago.

Part III
During the period covered by this report, the Commission considered 217 communications or complaints from persons and groups, denouncing 103 specific cases of alleged violations of human rights. In addition, it received many the communications of an informational nature on general situation regarding these rights.
After the processing of each case, the Commission examined the evidence supplied by the government in question or by the claimant, or evidence gathered by the Commission itself, in accordance with Article 50 of the Regulations, applying when appropriate, the principle of presumption of truth set forth in Article 51.
The Commission considers that, in its annual report to the General Assembly, it is appropriate to make recommendations only on cases whose processing and examination were completed during the period covered by the report, and in which a disregard of human rights has been verified. For information purposes, the Secretariat of the Commission has prepared a statistical table of all communications received (Appendix).
Accordingly, in compliance with Resolution XXIII of the Second Special Inter-American Conference (paragraph 4) and the Charter of the OAS (Article 150), the Commission submits to the General Assembly, for consideration, the observations it deems appropriate regarding cases that meet the conditions mentioned above.
- Cuba
- Haiti
- El Salvador and Honduras
- Recommendations based on the experience of the Commission
In addition to the preceding recommendations, based on the findings made by the Commission in examining specific complaints or denunciations, we believe it is appropriate to make other recommendations derived from the experience acquired during the performance of our work. We believe that if these recommendations are carried out, the effectiveness of our task will be increased, in benefit to the cause for which all of us are striving.
In this connection, we hereby propose:
- That a recommendation be made to all governments that, insofar as possible, they reply promptly to request for information made to them by the Commission in accordance with Article 42 of the Regulations. An examination of the cases processed and of those pending resolution would demonstrate the difficulties that the Commission has faced in many cases because of delays in obtaining such information. The Commission would prefer that it never be required to invoke the power conferred by Article 51 of its Regulations, to presume the events to be confirmed when the information requested is not supplied within 180 days. Furthermore, there are cases in which the delay of information for 180 days makes the action the Commission can take ineffective.
- That a recommendation be made to all the governments that, given the high purposes of the task entrusted to us, they make it possible to observe fact within their territory, whenever appropriate and when the Commission so request pursuant to Article 50 of its Regulations. We are living in an age beset with difficulties, when, as experience has shown, in many cases the mere presence of members of the Commission at the scene of the event permits unwarranted denunciations to be rejected, others to be reduced to their proper proportions, and, in any case, the factual bases indispensable for just findings to be obtained.
- That a recommendation be made to al the governments that they take measures to publicize and make known the Inter-American instruments on human rights, as well as the studies and informational materials prepared by the Commission. A matter that is as serious as the crisis confronting human rights in the hemisphere is the ignorance on the part of many millions of men and women of the content and limits of those rights and of the measures afforded by municipal and international law for their adequate protection. The Inter-American Commission does everything in its power to help overcome these deficiencies, by preparing studies on the various human rights for use in secondary schools, universities, and so on and by preparing pamphlets or handbooks for distribution in schools, institutions of secondary education, labor unions, professional associations, and the like. Unquestionably, however, the resources available to it do not permit the Commission to disseminate these publications as widely as would be desirable. The support of the governments for these purposes would be of the highest importance, especially regarding the inclusion of regular or short courses at all levels of public education, dealing with human rights and protection of them. Financial factors also have required the postponement of other types of publicity work, such as the preparation of programs on human rights and means for their protection, for broadcasting on radio and television. The establishment of national commissions on human rights is another objective proposed by the Inter-American Commission, with high expectations as to the results that may be obtained.
- That a recommendation be made to all the governments that they supply to the Commission the information requested of them, in accordance with its Statute and Regulations, so that it may prepare the annual report, especially as regards the progress achieved in realization of the goals set forth in the American Declaration. In spite of the efforts of its members and staff, it is extremely difficult for the Commission to fill the gap in direct information regarding new constitutional, legal, or administrative provisions, or new judicial decisions handed down in their countries, that represent progress in the struggle to consolidate human rights in the Americas. The Commission is particularly interested in knowing of all measures aimed at punishing violations of human rights, protecting individuals against improper or inhuman acts in prisons or committed by guards, guaranteeing the use of legal resources against violations of human rights, or adopting standards that satisfy the requirements of social justice. The inescapable duty of reporting on these measures, imposed upon the Commission by Article 9 (bis) of its Statute, places it in the distressing position of having to present an incomplete statement in this regard; because of the lack of documentation from the government, its report contains omissions that are no less annoying because they are involuntary. Each year the Commission will request all governments to send this essential information, which is extremely useful to disseminate because the accomplishments of each state can serve as an inspiration or model for the others. The Commission expresses its deep thanks for the attention that may be given to its requests for information.
- That a recommendation be made to all the governments that, as an effective means of moving toward the full force of human rights in this hemisphere, they promptly ratify the convention approved at the Inter-American Specialized Conference held in San José, Costa Rica. This instrument, which gives convention status to standards defining human rights and which improves the organization of this Commission and established the Court, represents the most substantial progress recorded in the history of our regional organization toward the establishment of an adequate legal system of protection of the human individual and his fundamental freedoms.
But the final recommendation that this Commission would wish to have made by the Assembly is that all governments consider the adoption of measures to strengthen the economic condition of their peoples.
We cherish the conviction that the vigorous development of our national economies, grounded upon just international cooperation and an equitable exchange of our products, is the indispensable basis for the sound building of an American community made up of men and women free from fear, poverty, and Oppression.
