The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 11.0870 Thursday, 20 April 2000.

Subject: Prudery
Comment: SHK 11.0796 Prudery
Terence Hawkes probably did not mean to be offensive. Maybe he was,
like myself, just a bit shocked about the kind of prudery Norman Myers
has to face. Norman and Terence just make different jokes about such a
cultural predicament. I think that we still-even after the 60s-have the
duty to offend students. How could we teach, say, Camus's L'Etranger
without hurting the tender sensitivities of those who favour the death
penalty? And films that use a lot of product placement also hurt the
feelings of anyone opposing rampant materialism-Prospero's Books is a
case in point, since it unduly displays the pleasures of the Gellert
hotel in Budapest. Drama in performance must offend; the only warning I
would endorse is the English one: "Gunshot will be used in this

If you want stress free travel, stay away from Best Travel Store pleeease! My husband used them and had the worst experience ever. He was taken off a flight in Africa and spent a night at the airport before I could arrange to get him out of there. They said he needed a transit visa which BTS nor the airline had told us about. When I called BTS the employee who answered was very rude and offered no help. She refused to let me speak to the manager or supervisor. Worst experience ever!
Written on: 26/08/2009
Best Travel Store regrets that the poster chose to ignore our conspicuously placed TRAVEL VISA WARNING that requires online customers to verify whether a (transit) visa is required for travel to their final destination. We provide a hyperlink to a specialized visas webpage where up-to-date information is available. Unfortunately, traveling without a visa is similar to leaving the passport at home. It is an airline's responsibility to verify at check-in for international flights that a passenger has valid travel documents, including all required visas. The passenger should have been denied boarding within the US in this case. Best Travel Store cannot take responsibility for travelers' failure to obtain valid travel documents and we provide clearly posted warnings about all such issues during the online booking process.

Right wingers got it wrong on Hillary Clinton concussion
BuzzFeed Politics writer Andrew Kaczynski has delivered a stark reminder why U.S. politics is so dysfunctional.
After Secretary of State Hillary Clinton went to hospital with a blood clot in her brain, he's outed a bunch of right wingers who claimed she faked a concussion.
The Bush administration's ambassador to the United Nations, John "Captain Bangeroo" Bolton, called it "diplomatic illness".
Congressman Allen West, a Republican, described it as the "Benghazi flu".
Jim Treacher of the Daily Caller and Fox News mouthpiece Sean Hannity wanted to see a medical report.
The New York Post pubished an article about "Hillary Clinton's head fake".
Kaczynski also noted of the kings on the right, syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer, called it the "acute Benghazi allergy".
No wonder America is so fucked up.

Kailua Beach: Going ... Gone?
Wednesday - December 10, 2008
There was a time when jumping off the bridge near Buzz's Original Steak House in Kailua was all the rage. The thrill of splashing a passing car from your best cannonball was like a rite of passage.
Sadly, those days are gone. Tons of sand now fills the area and on a "good day" the water is ankle deep. The clogged waterway has put a pause on new memories at the bridge.
"Most of that sand should be back in the bay," says a concerned Chip Fletcher, a University of Hawaii professor and chair of the university's Department of Geology and Geophysics. "The erosion at Kailua Beach is either natural or human manipulation of sand budgets, and the obvious place to start is at the mouth of Kaelepulu Stream."
Kailua Beach is the talk of the town, but the buzz has little to do with its beauty. What was voted America's No. 1 beach in 1998 is now home to one of the most remarkable displays of erosion in Hawaii. In the words of one Windward Oahu resident, "Kailua Beach is going, going and may someday be gone."
Fletcher believes years of sand dredging at the mouth of Kaelepulu Stream have caused a major deficiency in the bay.
"In the past I said the erosion at Kailua might be due to a rise in the sea level, but I no longer think that way," says Fletcher. "Our tide gauges show global warming-induced sea-level rise has not hit Hawaii yet."
If you haven't visited the white sandy beach in the last few years, you will be in for unpleasant surprise. Many ironwood trees that lace the two-mile stretch of beach are now hanging by roots. Last year the city even cut several of them as a precautionary measure, including a 60-foot tree that hovered near the shoreline.
"Because of the serious erosion that's taken place, and how quickly it's taken place, we thought the best thing would be to reduce the height, at least for now, to keep it from toppling it over," says Stanley Oka, the city's urban forestry administrator.
More evidence of beach erosion surfaced in January when the lifeguard tower was relocated. And near the boat ramp, cement blocks and rusting rebar are exposed. The blocks were installed in the 1980s to serve as sand grabbers. Fletcher says city and state officials agree there is an urgent need to find solutions.
"But until someone tests the sand from Kaelepulu for pollutants the sand can't be put into the bay because of potential contamination," says Fletcher. "Yet nature does it every time there is a storm. Water and sand blast right back into the ocean. Nature can send pollutants back into the ocean, but the city can't."
It happened during November's heavy rain when storm runoff and sand emptied into the bay. City crews eventually bulldozed sand to clear the mouth of the stream, but instead of releasing it back into the ocean the sand was pushed on top of man-created sand dunes.
"I hope the recent strong northerly winds pushed some of that back to shore," says Fletcher who recalls similar conditions in 1998. "Those winds brought in so much sand back then the entire boat ramp was covered."
In the meantime, the city and the state Departments of Health and Land and Natural Resources are trying to reach an agreement that will allow sand dredged out of the stream to be used on the beach.
"Keep your fingers crossed," says Fletcher.
Many are with hopes of making more memories at the bridge.

Heroin used to be a problem mainly for the big cities. Today it is also ravaging rural communities in the American heartland, a cheap alternative to pain pills and crystal meth. In the white working class, divorce is soaring, marriage rates have been plummeting, and single parents have become the norm. And this demographic, which used to be the heart and soul of evangelical Christianity, has the lowest rates of church attendance. From boarded up small towns to rustbelt cities where the factory has closed down, the white working class is in a state of economic, moral, cultural, and spiritual crisis.
This is chronicled in the bestselling Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis by J. D. Vance, who grew up in a family plagued by all of these dysfunctions, but whose church-going grandparents pulled him out of the mire.
While churches build mega-congregations in the suburbs and concentrate on trying to reach affluent millennials, the truly unchurched who are arguably in most need of evangelism and spiritual care are often ignored, déclassé as they are.
Terry Mattingly interviews Vance on the religious dimensions of the crisis he documents. [Read more…]

Wessex is retired -- or would be, if murder and danger would only leave him alone.
The impossible has happened. Chief Inspector Reg Wexford has retired. He and his wife now divide their time between Kingsmarkham and a coachhouse in Hampstead belonging to their actress daughter, Sheila. For all the benefits of a more relaxed way of life, Wexford misses being the law. But a chance meeting in a London street, with someone he had known briefly as a very young police constable, changes everything. Tom Ede is now a Detective Superintendent, and is very keen to recruit Wexford as an adviser on a difficult case.
The bodies of two women and a man have been discovered in the old coal hole of an attractive house in St John's Wood. None carries identification. But the man's jacket pockets contain a string of pearls, a diamond and a sapphire necklace as well as other jewellery valued in the region of 40,000. Wexford is intrigued and excited by the challenge -- until this new investigative role brings him into serious physical danger.

I'm at 25 mpg.
Why X1? It has turned out to be the perfect choice for me. The size is great. Skis stuff, no problem. Bike, no problem. This weekend we were four people driving to the mountains with all our ski gear with no issues (thanks to the middle seat fold down).
The drive and handling are great. It's so much fun to drive. The basic sound system works great for me. over 250 songs on a small USB stick categorized into folders for easy navigation.
There are a few quarks, but none are show stoppers. The auto/start/stop is annoying and the shifting up and down is counter intuitive (up is down shifting). But both are small issues (the first one can be turned off by default by the dealer).
I have about 5k miles and I'm really enjoying the vehicle.

I think they hit a home run with this. I'm still using my old iPod mini for workouts but I might just have to get one of these. I would like to see an 8gb model offered, though it looks like Apple is moving away from anything less than 16gb for everything but the Shuffle.
All this "Nokia copy" talk is ludicrous. Is it rectangular? Yes. Does it have a glass front? Yes. Does it come in a few "fun" colors? Yes. Other than that, the Nokia is kinda thick, and the bezel around the glass is totally different.
I get sick of the lawsuits ... You know who ends up paying for those legal fees? We do. Apple charges enough as it is. I don't want to see more and more lawsuits because prices will just go up to pay for the mounting legal fees.
Such great new innovations in the new iPod Nano! Very exciting to have that new dock connector. All my friends are going to be jealous of that. And it can now play video - wow! I hope the next version has a camera to record video too. That would be an awesome upgrade!!

great new innovations in the new iPod Nano I must have it !

PHILADELPHIA -- A new grand jury report has reopened for Catholics the raw wound of sexual abuse of children by clergy and personnel in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.
While a similar 2005 report detailed hundreds of cases of sexual abuse of children by dozens of clergy over many decades, the new report brings criminal indictments for the first time.
In a statement Feb. 16, Cardinal Justin Rigali of Philadelphia addressed the issue of sexual abuse of children squarely, calling it a crime and "always wrong and always evil."
"Many people of faith and in the community at large think that the archdiocese does not understand the gravity of child sexual abuse," he said. "We do. The task before us now is to recognize where we have fallen short and to let our actions speak to our resolve."
His statement, outlining new actions the archdiocese is taking in response to the report, follows three initiatives he announced Feb. 11, a day after Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams held a news conference to release the report by a grand jury investigating alleged abuse.
Charged with rape, assault and other felonies related to minors, as recommended by the grand jury, are former archdiocesan priest Edward V. Avery, 68, of Haverford; Father Charles Engelhardt, 64, of Wyndmoor and a priest Oblate of St. Francis de Sales; an archdiocesan priest, Father James J. Brennan, 47, of Linfield; and former lay teacher, Bernard Shero, 48, of Bristol.
Msgr. William J. Lynn, 60, pastor of St. Joseph Parish in Downingtown, was charged on two counts of endangering the welfare of a child. The charges stem, according to the report, from Msgr. Lynn's conduct as archdiocesan vicar for clergy from 1992 to 2004. In that role, he was responsible for recommending the assignment of priests in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.
He is believed to be the only high ranking diocesan official indicted under a criminal statute in the United States for charges related to the sexual abuse scandal that came to light in 2002.
A preliminary hearing for the charges will be held March 7. No trial date has been set.
The new actions Cardinal Rigali outlined in his Feb. 16 statement include the immediate re-examination of cases of 37 priests said by the grand jury to have credible allegations of child sexual abuse against them.
The process will be led by a lawyer and former Philadelphia Assistant District Attorney Gina Maisto Smith. She will personally review all cases of accused priests in active ministry and recommend to Cardinal Rigali procedural changes in response to the report.
Three archdiocesan priests mentioned in the report, Fathers Joseph L. DiGregorio, Joseph J. Gallagher and Stephen B. Perzan, have been placed on leave and they may not exercise their priestly ministry pending the second review of their cases.
These steps follow the three new initiatives the cardinal announced Feb. 11.
First, the archdiocese has rehired Mary Achilles, former victim advocate for Pennsylvania, to advise Cardinal Rigali on how to address the needs of victims of sexual abuse and to review the observations and recommendations of the grand jury report. Achilles served in a similar capacity for the archdiocese from 2006 to 2008.
Second, a new position has been created -- delegate for investigations. The person, when hired, will continue the practice of forwarding every allegation of abuse as soon as it is received to the appropriate civil authority.
Regardless of whether the authority investigates the claim, the delegate will lead the archdiocese's investigation of the allegation from the time it is received until the Archdiocesan Review Board presents its recommendation on the credibility of the allegation to Cardinal Rigali.
Third, Joseph A. Cronin Jr. has been hired as the clergy support associate to help ensure priests in active ministry comply with the "Standards of Ministerial Behavior and Boundaries," a code of conduct for clergy developed in 2003.
In a new development, on Feb. 14, Cardinals Rigali and Anthony J. Bevilacqua, the retired archbishop of Philadelphia, were named in a lawsuit filed by a 28-year-old unnamed man.
The suit concerns the assignments of two priests who allegedly abused the plaintiff when he was a boy in the early 1990s. Both former archdiocesan priest Martin Satchell and Augustinian priest Richard Cochrane have since been laicized.
The suit also takes to task the archdiocese's victims assistance program, which allegedly refused to help the victim when he would not sign a waiver authorizing the release of his information to authorities.
Over the Feb. 12-13 weekend, Cardinal Rigali acknowledged in a letter to Catholics the painful, emotional fallout the report and its indictments have left in the archdiocese.
"The release of the Philadelphia grand jury report ... brings great sadness and distress to every Catholic, to every person," the cardinal said. "Once again, the issue of the sexual abuse of minors is raised, as well as the role of the church and her leaders in addressing this abuse. As Catholics, we are hurt and confused, and perhaps even quite angry and feeling betrayed."
The cardinal acknowledged the suffering of victims of abuse and their families, as well as the suffering of faithful priests. He encouraged Catholics to show victims love and compassion, plus support and prayers for priests.
He called the report's release "a moment for renewed faith."
Cardinal Rigali also delivered his remarks as a video message prepared for YouTube.com and aired on many local television and radio stations the same weekend.
At his Feb. 10 news conference, Williams noted that since the 2005 grand jury report, positive changes have resulted in the Philadelphia Archdiocese's procedures for handling allegations of abuse and its impact upon victims.
"Victims are receiving counseling and support, and the church is reporting some abusers to law enforcement, something that never happened in the past," he said. "This investigation, in fact, began as a result of reports received from the archdiocese. "
Williams commended the archdiocese for these improvements but emphasized that more needs to be done regarding concerns of victims' confidentiality and the nature of abuse allegations against priests.
The grand jury's charges stem from cases in recent years. The report alleges Avery joined Shero and Father Engelhardt in the abuse of a 10-year-old boy from approximately 1998 to 2000. The archdiocese received an allegation concerning Father Engelhardt in 2009 and reported it to the Philadelphia district attorney. His ministry was restricted Feb. 10, 2011.
The archdiocese received a report concerning then-Father Avery that alleged he had inappropriate contact with a minor as far back as 1992. It limited his ministry to chaplain at Nazareth Hospital in Philadelphia from 1993 to 2003. After the archdiocese substantiated allegations of sexual abuse against him and removed him from ministry in 2003, he was laicized in 2006.
New allegations against him were received in 2007 and 2009, which were forwarded to the district attorneys of Delaware County and Philadelphia, respectively.
The charges against Father Brennan, who has been prohibited from performing the duties of a priest or presenting himself as a priest since 2006, stem from an allegation of abuse concerning a 14-year-old boy.

On the eve of his 11-day Far East trip, which will include Thanksgiving supper with U.S. troops in the Korean demilitarized zone, American Legion National Commander Ray G. Smith issued the following statement in regard to the discounting of more than 1,400 absentee ballots from U.S. military personnel assigned overseas.
ORLANDO (CNSNews.com) - "It is un-American to deny the protectors of democracy their constitutional right to participate in the electoral process. I therefore urge Florida election officials to reverse the wholesale invalidation of more than 1,400 absentee ballots submitted by U.S. military personnel stationed abroad. Further, I urge members of Congress to look into this shameful situation.
"The men and women whose votes have been disqualified are part of the tradition of the American citizen-soldier whose sacrifices preserve the right to vote for all of us. There is nothing partisan about counting the votes of these citizens who took an oath 'to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies...'
"Unless an absentee ballot is so mutilated that the choices cannot be determined, the ballot should count. Soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsman must not be penalized because the system that delivered those ballots was protracted. American troops are deployed to more than 1 30 different countries and on ships on the high seas around the world.
"I am especially sensitive to the patriotism of the troops serving abroad as I plan to spend Thanksgiving thanking our troops between the two Koreas for their service. I cannot look those troops in their eyes and turn my back on the invalidation of their votes."
(Smith, a U.S. Air Force veteran of the Korean War, was in Florida for a weekend gathering of The American Legion Department of Florida. The 2.8-million member American Legion is the nation's largest veterans organization.)

ST. PETERSBURG, RUSSIA – Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and U.S. President Barack Obama have agreed to cooperate toward improving in the situation in war-torn Syria during a bilateral meeting at the Group of 20 summit in St. Petersburg, Russia.
During their hour-long discussion Thursday, Abe and Obama shared the view that a strong response from the international community is needed over the suspected use of chemicals arms against the Syrian people by President Bashar Assad's regime, according to Japanese sources.
Abe told Obama that he values his efforts to seek a broad global consensus for a potential U.S. military strike against Syria, and that he fully understands the president's desire and determination to launch an attack.
The prime minister expressed deep respect for Obama's strong commitment that the United States has a responsibility to respond to the Aug. 21 apparent sarin gassing near Damascus, while voicing Japan's intention to expand humanitarian aid to the Syrian people.
Obama told Abe that the United States views the use of chemical weapons as a tragedy and a violation of international law that must be dealt with, indirectly calling for Japan's support of military action against the Assad regime.
Their meeting was arranged at the request of Washington. Abe did not mention what efforts he sought during a phone conversation with Obama on Tuesday for a U.N. Security Council resolution on military intervention in Syria.
Also during Thursday's meeting, Obama told Abe that the Japan-U.S. alliance is the cornerstone of security for many countries in the world.
Abe explained that his government is trying to strengthen the alliance by establishing a domestic version of the U.S. National Security Council, as well as its efforts to review the state's interpretation of the Constitution to allow Japan to exercise collective self-defense.
Touching on the East Asia security environment, Abe said cooperation between Japan, the United States and South Korea is pivotal to present a united front on the North Korean nuclear and ballistic missile threats.
On Japan's soured relations with China over the Senkaku Islands, an issue the United States has previously voiced concern over, Abe assured Obama that Tokyo's door is always open for dialogue with Beijing. Obama said the U.S. supports a resolution of the sovereignty clash through dialogue and that it is opposed to any attempt to change the regional status quo by force, in a warning to China.
The two also confirmed that Japan and the United States will work toward concluding the Trans-Pacific Partnership free trade talks by the end of this year.
Meanwhile, Abe invited Obama to visit Japan at a time of his choosing, and the president responded positively. The leaders also confirmed that they will arrange to meet again on the sidelines of an October summit of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum in Bali, Indonesia.
Russia '2-plus-2' talks set
Japan and Russia agreed in a summit Thursday to hold their first bilateral security talks under a "two-plus-two" framework in November and continue working for progress on their long-standing territorial dispute.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and President Vladimir Putin also discussed the Syrian crisis without any agreement during their talks on the sidelines of the Group of 20, a Japanese official said.
Abe and Putin agreed that their foreign and defense ministers will meet Nov. 1 and 2 in Tokyo to strengthen bilateral security ties.
Japan has held similar so-called two-plus-two meetings with the United States and Australia. Japan will be Russia's fifth such bilateral security dialogue partner, according to the official.
In their third one-on-one talks this year, Abe and Putin reaffirmed their commitment to negotiations over the sovereignty of the Russian-held islands off Hokkaido claimed by Japan.
They agreed to continue dialogue on the territorial dispute in a "friendly, quiet and calm environment," the official said.
At issue are Etorofu, Kunashiri, Shikotan and the Habomai islet group. They were seized by the Soviet Union following Japan's surrender in World War II.
The dispute has prevented Japan and Russia from signing a peace treaty.
Abe urges Xi to reset ties
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe urged a reset in frayed ties with China when he met with Chinese President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the Group of 20 summit in St. Petersburg, Russia, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said Friday.
The meeting was the first between leaders of the two countries since relations nose-dived last year over Japan's move to effectively nationalize the China-claimed Senkaku Islands, sparking a row that has led to warnings of a possible armed confrontation. Japan took control of the islets in 1895, but China has been claiming them since the 1970s.
"Prime Minister Abe explained (to Xi) about our thoughts that we should develop Japan-China relations by going back to the original point of the strategic, mutually beneficial relationship," Suga told reporters in Tokyo.
A Japanese Embassy spokesman in Moscow said the two leaders shook hands and spoke for about five minutes at the G-20 meeting of world leaders. Despite the huge economic importance of the relationship between Asia's two largest economic powers, the two men have not met since the right-wing Abe took office in December and Xi in March.
According to China's official Xinhua News Agency, Abe said he had been looking forward to seeing Xi in Russia and was quoted as saying, "I am eager to improve Japanese-Chinese relations."
Xinhua cited Xi as telling Abe that Beijing wants to improve ties "on the basis of the four Chinese-Japanese political documents," a reference to agreements hammered out from the early 1970s onward as the two countries normalized diplomatic relations. The report said Xi had reiterated China's position that Japan must address historical grievances.
Beijing regularly charges that Tokyo has not made sufficient amends for its militarism and aggression in the past century, and that the nation plays down the extent of its wrongdoing.
Japan says it has apologized and maintains that China uses history to accuse its neighbor and as a rallying cry at home to distract domestic attention from social and economic problems.
The often difficult relations between the world's second- and third-largest economies worsened significantly last September, when Japan effectively nationalized the Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea. China argues the uninhabited chain, which it calls the Diaoyu, was illegally snatched by Japan at the end of the 19th century and demands its return.
Chinese government ships, most recently from the country's new coast guard, have regularly intruded into Japan's territorial waters around the Senkakus.

Zojirushi 20-c. Commercial Rice Cooker and Warmer
I wish they made this in a littler size. I don't need 20 cups of rice (though I'm trying to think of reasons I might!). I like the look of it, I like the seal on it, I like the colors and shape of it. It's kind of like the meta rice cooker.

Local successes at this year's Northland Salon Culinaire
11 June 2014
Local successes at this year's Northland Salon Culinaire
66 entrants cooked under pressure in front of about 100 supporters during last weekend's Northland Salon Culinaire competition at NorthTec's hospitality department. The Northland Salon Culinaire began in 2007 and has become a significant event in the region's hospitality industry calendar because it involves a wide range of people and skills.
Salon Director and NorthTec hospitality tutor, Hughie Blues, says entrants range from baristas to waiters, chefs to bartenders, industry judges and tutors, lecturers and mentors, and secondary schools. "The Northland Salon Culinaire features the very best emerging talent in Northland's hospitality industry. It involves 26 classes across three categories - an open industry category, trainees at a tertiary level, and secondary school students."
The event's chief judge was Anita Sargeson, the president of New Zealand Chefs' Association, from Wellington. Hughie - "Anita has been coming up for this for seven years and says she particularly likes the supportive whānau feel of the event. There is an air of competitiveness but also a sense of camaraderie between the contestants. Each class has a minimum of three judges and they mark the competitors on how they perform on the floor, personal presentation, technique, cookery, taste, and composition, plus they give them feedback on how they can improve."
Hughie is particularly keen on the growing participation of secondary school students in the event. "We believe that the schools are our target market for the future of our industry. The event gives our young people the opportunity to benchmark themselves against others from across the region, compete for regional titles and see the standard at tertiary and industry level. This year we had students from Kerikeri High School, Whangarei Girls High School, Pompallier Catholic College, and NorthTec's Trades Academy participating. It necessitates extensive training prior to the event and a chance to put into practice the training that has brought them there."
A highlight this year was the success of local secondary schools in the City and Guilds Secondary Schools Challenge. Hughie – "The NorthTec Hospitality Trades Academy team won gold in the secondary schools culinary class. It is a national event so they now go from this regional level to the national final at Manukau Institute of Technology in September.
Hughie – "Northland Chefs really appreciate their relationship with NorthTec as their principle partner in the Salon Culinaire. Their resources and facilities enable the event to take place. We at NorthTec were especially delighted this year because we came out well, showing our own standards have risen across the department. NorthTec got nine bronze awards, seventeen silvers, and three golds, with seven class wins. That's a huge step up for us from previous competitions."

WASHINGTON (AP) The Bush administration on Thursday ordered the expulsion of Bolivia's ambassador to the U.S. after Bolivia expelled the U.S. envoy there in an escalating tit-for-tat. Hours later, Venezuela's president, claiming the U.S. was trying to depose him, ordered the U.S. ambassador in Caracas to leave the country.
"In response to unwarranted actions and in accordance with the Vienna Convention (on diplomatic protocol), we have officially informed the government of Bolivia of our decision to declare Ambassador Gustavo Guzman persona non grata," State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said.
It was unclear exactly how long Guzman would have to leave the United States but diplomats declared "persona non grata" are generally given 72 hours to depart. Guzman had been summoned to the department earlier Thursday and told of the decision a day after Bolivia expelled U.S. Ambassador Philip Goldberg, officials said.
In Caracas, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez late Thursday gave U.S. Ambassador Patrick Duddy 72 hours to leave the country and said he was recalling his ambassador from Washington. Chavez said the move was, in part, to show solidarity with Bolivian President Evo Morales, who expelled Washington's envoy in La Paz.
Chavez also accused the U.S. of trying to oust him, echoing Bolivian allegations of political interference by the U.S.
"They're trying to do here what they were doing in Bolivia," Chavez said.
"That's enough ... from you, Yankees," he said during a televised rally, using an expletive.
Chavez said Venezuela's ambassador to Washington, Bernardo Alvarez, would return to the U.S. "when there's a new government in the United States."
Asked about Chavez's remarks, Jennifer Rahimi, spokeswoman for the U.S. Embassy in Caracas, said: "We saw the speech and we're investigating, but we haven't seen anything official."
Chavez warned last month that Duddy could soon be "packing his bags" after the diplomat lamented that U.S. and Venezuelan officials have not been cooperating in the war on drugs.
The move by Chavez brings relations with Washington to a new low and raises questions about whether the diplomatic clash could hurt trade. Venezuela is the fourth-largest oil supplier to the United States, and Chavez threatened on Thursday to cut off crude shipments "if there's any aggression against Venezuela." He has made similar threats in the past.
Morales had ordered Goldberg out, accusing him of conspiring with Bolivia's conservative opposition. McCormack earlier had called that a "grave error" and warned that Bolivia would face retaliatory actions for the expulsion, which he said had inflicted serious damage on U.S.-Bolivian relations.
In La Paz, Bolivian Foreign Minister David Choquehuanca told reporters that he formally had requested Goldberg's expulsion but added that he also wrote Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to say Bolivia "wishes to maintain bilateral relations."
A share of U.S. aid to Bolivia goes to eastern provincial governments that are the nexus of opposition to Morales, which has angered the Bolivian president and his supporters.
Goldberg met last week with Ruben Costas, one of Morales' most virulent opponents. Costas is governor of Santa Cruz, Bolivia's richest province and the seat of a pro-autonomy revolt against the nation's first indigenous president.
The State Department also said the Morales government has asked Drug Enforcement Agency employees to leave a base camp in the coca-growing region of Chapare "because they could no longer protect them." State Department employees left too, the department said.
"We are disappointed that 25 years of working side by side with our counterparts at the Bolivian special counternarcotics police has been disrupted in this manner," the State Department said in a statement.
At least six people were killed as anti-government protesters fought backers of Morales on Thursday in Bolivia's pro-autonomy east with clubs, machetes and guns, police said.

Antique Album with Hundreds of Stamps
This is "The International Postage Stamp Album, Junior Edition, Fully Illustrated" Scott Stamp & Coin Co., copyright 1935, with ads in the back for 1937 edition stamp catalogues. The oldest U.S. stamp in the catalog is 1873 (see comment in "About Our Stamps") and, obviously, none are newer than 1935. This catalog is offered for sale with the stamps in it. The album is hard cover (the red in the photo is the original spine, not tape), measures 9" x 11.5" x 2" thick, weighs about 5 lbs, and has hundreds of pages (I'm not going to count them and they're unnumbered). There are hundreds of stamps inside, and they are each single--that is, there are no duplicates.
With the exception of one stamp, I have never removed any stamps from the catalog. Although not full by any means, I would estimate that there are approximately 700 stamps in the album (see rough count by country, below) including the U.S. and many other countries in existence at that time. Also, except for the one stamp I removed, I've never tried to determine the market value of any of the stamps in the album--until Fall 2003 when I checked some of the U.S. stamp values in a current catalog. (The stamp I removed is offered under the Special Stamp link on the Main Page.)
This partial page from the U.S. section, highlights above the Post_It's left corner, a stamp that I've identified as Scotts #4231912 $1.00 violet-brownin very fine condition (hinged) and, according to Mystic Stamp Co.'s 2003 Vol. 4 catalog, is worth at least $100.00. The stamp to the left of it may be valuable, too, but has had "R E Co" punched through it, and may be Scotts #421 or #422.
The picture below shows the second and third pages of Germany, covering 1889-1922 (there is one stamp, an 1875-77 10 pfennige, on the first page). The 4th & 5th pages include many stamps issued during the period of hyper inflation1923 , with imprints like "75 thousand" stamped over "450 marks", and "2 million" stamped over "5 marks". I translated the "thousand" and "million"; they are, of course spelled in German on the stamps.
While the German section is not representative of the entire album, there are over 150 stamps in this section alone.
Other Countries and estimated numbers of stamps. I omitted some smaller countries from A through Greece, and from Greece onward, only listed countries with stamps, but may even have missed some of them. A neat thing about this album, it tells you at the beginning of each country whether it is an independent state, if not, who it belongs to, and in many cases where it is!
NOTE: I noticed while flippnig through the album to get a rough count that some of the unused stamps, which have been hinged in this album for close to 70 years, are partially stuck to the pages. This seems to be particularly true for stamps that were hinged over B&W pictures of the stamp printed in the book. I assume humidity over the years dampened the glue?

MSM Goes Hog Wild With Constant Anti-Trump Fearmongering
At this point, one might think the media would take a break from the constant effort to come up with some means of destroying the Trump presidency in its infancy, before it has even come to be. Perhaps they might focus on Obama's legacy for his last few months in office? Maybe they could, for whatever reason, decide they had better things to do than constantly fearmonger about Donald Trump destroying the country.
"They really seem to think that we are on the precipice of the, I don't know, the annihilation of the United States of America," Buck Sexton said Tuesday, filling in for Glenn on The Glenn Beck Program.
One of their favorite fearmongering topics of late is the so-called "white nationalist, white supremacist" movement, giving it a disproportionate amount of attention and making it seem as if the vast majority of Trump voters fit into this demographic.

Provo UT (SPX) Sep 12, 2008
Raser Technologies has announced that it was chosen to develop, in conjunction with Indonesia Power, over 100,000 acres of geothermal resources to build an estimated 110 megawatts (MW) of geothermal power in West Java, Indonesia's most populated island.
The 412 square kilometers concession surrounds the Tangkuban Perahu volcano, approximately 15 miles north of Bandung, the capitol of the West Java Province. Bandung has over 2 million people and is the largest city in the West Java Province, which has over 35 million residents.
Indonesia Power is a unit of PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN), Indonesia's state owned utility and has 127 power plants producing 8,888 MW of power. Indonesia Power will hold 51% ownership in the venture with Raser, while Raser will own 49%. It is expected that the capital to fund the development of the project in West Java will be independently financed.
PLN is expected to purchase the geothermal power in an effort to reduce its exposure to rising oil prices. Due to growth and rising fuel costs, Indonesia is experiencing an energy crisis and is actively pursuing a plan to grow geothermal power.
Indonesia has a stated goal to more than double its current 838 MW of geothermal power output by 2010 and to further grow its geothermal power generation to 9,500 MW by 2025. Outside of the United States, Indonesia has the world's largest geothermal power generation potential.
"We have studied this resource along with The Energy and Geoscience Institute and believe that it could potentially support 200 to 300 MW of clean renewable power," stated Michael Hayter, Raser's Director of Geothermal Development.
"We anticipate that the initial phase of development will be a rapidly deployed binary plant with additional phases potentially including larger flash geothermal plants."
"We are excited about working with Indonesia Power to expand our geothermal development," stated Brent M. Cook, Raser's Chief Executive Officer.
"We recognize their expertise in geothermal power operations and applaud their commitment to further develop Indonesia's significant geothermal resources. We are honored to be their partner and look forward to working with them closely over the next several years."

Citation: Strausbaugh, C.A., Eujayl, I.A., Lewellen, R.T. 2008. Sugar beet germplasm evaluated for resistance to rhizomania and storability in Idaho, 2007. Plant Disease Management Reports. 2:FC105. Interpretive Summary: Preventing sugar losses in storage and rhizomania in the field is important to the economic viability of the sugar beet industry. Rhizomania, caused by Beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV), is an important viral disease problem worldwide, leading to significant yield loss in the field but also in storage. The primary means of controlling this disease is through host resistance. However, strains of BNYVV that overcome resistance are present in all major production areas in the United States. Sugar beet lines were developed and screened to characterize them for both resistance and storability. Some lines possessed both good resistance and storability. These lines will potentially lead to cultivars with better resistance to BNYVV and storability to reduce sugar loss.
Technical Abstract: Rhizomania caused by Beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV) and storage losses are serious sugar beet production problems. To identify new sources of resistance to BNYVV and increase storability, 48 sugar beet lines and check cultivars were screened by growing them in BNYVV infested soil in Rupert, ID during the 2007 growing season in a randomized complete block design with 8 replications. At harvest, roots were dug and evaluated for symptoms of rhizomania and also placed in an indoor commercial sugar beet storage building. Storage samples were also evaluated for fungal growth known to correlate with sugar loss. Root evaluations established that 26 of lines had good resistance and were not significantly different from checks containing the Rz1 gene. Three lines appeared to possess both good storability and rhizomania resistance. Resistance to fungal growth in storage was dependent upon cultivars containing rhizomania resistance and storability. Once these traits are incorporated into commercial cultivars, both resistance to rhizomania and storability should be improved.

Down the Great Unknown: John Wesley Powell's 1869 Journey of Discovery and Tragedy Through the Grand Canyon
On May 24, 1869 a one-armed Civil War veteran named John Wesley Powell and a ragtag band of nine mountain men embarked on the last great quest in the American West. No one had ever explored the fabled Grand Canyon, to adventurers of that era a region almost as mysterious as Atlantis -- and as perilous.
The ten men set out down the mighty Colorado River in wooden rowboats. Six survived. Drawing on rarely examined diaries and journals. Down the Great Unknown is the first book to tell the full, true story.

Adding copper to aluminum increases aluminum's strength, and hardness and also makes it heat treatable. Under a classification system that is currently in place all aluminum alloys are give a four digit number. Those with copper come in the form 2XXX. Alternatively adding magnesium causes increased tensile strength, resistance to marine corrosion and ease at which welding can occur. The code for these alloys begins with a 5.
There are three further common elements which can feature in aluminum alloys. Manganese is often added to give increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The addition of silicon lowers the melting point and improves castability, and alloys with zinc have increased strength and hardness. What makes these alloys really special is they retain the lightweight property of aluminum whilst gaining the extra properties that aluminum itself lacks.
Most of the uses that aluminum has are in fact as part of an alloy rather than as a pure metal. Pure aluminum simply isn't strong enough for usage in aeroplanes, cars, trains and buildings.
Summary: Alloys of aluminum are more useful that aluminum itself, as they give real strength to the material, by pinning dislocations whilst maintaining aluminum's other properties. Using different materials in alloys gives slightly different effects, so alloys can be hand picked for their specific job.

It's time to check your policy on maternity leave. An Ohio appeals court has ruled that it may be discrimination if you don't provide maternity leave to employees who don't qualify for your usual leave plan because they haven't been on the job long enough.
Recent case: Tiffany McFee was a few weeks pregnant when she began work as a nurse at a long-term care facility. The nursing home allowed new mothers up to 12 weeks' maternity leave after one year of service.
McFee got a note from her doctor saying she couldn't work the few days before giving birth. The nursing home fired McFee a few days later, ostensibly because she hadn't worked for the company long enough to qualify for maternity leave.
She sued, claiming Ohio law protected her from pregnancy and sex discrimination. She contended that included the right to leave to give birth.
The Court of Appeals of Ohio agreed and said no minimum service requirements are allowed for maternity leave. (Nursing Care Management of America v. Ohio Civil Rights Commission, No. 08-CA-0030, Court of Appeals of Ohio, 2009)
Final note: A male employee could have been fired under the company rule for taking time off. But the court didn't care—it said Ohio law protects pregnant women from being fired for needing the leave. Otherwise, only women would have to choose between having a child or having a job.

Hillary Letting A "Possible" Cat Out Of The Bag?
Lady Antebellum's Hillary Scott has revealed that the trio is actually in the beginning phases of putting together their fifth studio album. The upcoming album will be the follow up to the group's widely-successful Golden album, which was released in May of last year. Hillary tells the Hartford Courant that the group will begin seeking out songwriters to help write for the new project in the next couple weeks, but that the album building process is still in its infancy. Scott says, "I can't tell you 100-percent where we're going, because we're still figuring it out. It's exploration-time. We're going to take our time. We're not going to rush. We're just going to write and be very selective." For this new album, the group hopes to step outside of their musical boundaries without abandoning the sound that their fans have come to love so much. Scott shares, "We're going to explore what we're not afraid to talk about, we're not afraid to do production-wise. We're not going to go too far left of the core of who we are, but I definitely think that we're going to see where it's going to take us, and we can always reel ourselves back in."

The bare "5" argument will cause htdig to stop scanning for options,
so it won't see the -c option. If /etc/htdig/htdig.conf is not your
compiled-in default config file name, then it won't be reading that
file. Changing the -v 5 to -vvvvv would be the first thing to try.
If /etc/htdig/htdig.conf is your default, then I assume you're running
one of the RPM distributions of htdig. Which one did you grab, and on
which platform are you running it? Did you make sure, by checking the
README.RPMS.txt on the web site, that you installed the right one?

external_parsers should override pdf_parser, so setting the latter
shouldn't be a problem. Rather, it would seem htdig is not seeing the
external_parsers setting, either because it's not reading the config
file you think it is, or because of some sort of formatting error in
your config file.

Paul's Christology is but the rationale of the vision that led to Paul's conversion.
Finally, Epiphanius gives particulars about their Christology.
There can be no doubt that his Christology presents differences from that of the fourth Gospel.
The mysterious Christology of Colossians lies at the very heart of Christian faith.
Apparently Paul was not aware that his Christology might provoke dissent.
The science of Christology demands the acceptance of this supernatural event.
It probably contributed not least to make Tertullian's type of Christology the universal Western one.
Much might be said in criticism of Paul's Christology—if it were not for Paul and his followers.
As a professional and learned teacher he is at bottom nearer to the Apologists as regards his Christology than Irenæus.
The archaic attitude of this Christology and trinitarian doctrine is evident from the following considerations.

The national philanthropy of Zeta Tau Alpha is Breast Cancer Research and Education. In 1992, Zeta Tau Alpha adopted the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation as the Fraternity's national philanthropy, but at the 1996 International Convention, the Fraternity voted to increase ZTA's support of breast cancer awareness by backing all organizations committed to breast cancer research, education, screening, and treatment.
ZTA also continues to educate the public about breast cancer awareness through its own Think Pink project. Nationwide, thousands of Zetas create and distributed more than a quarter of a million information cards and pink ribbons, the universal symbol for breast cancer awareness.
Every year, our chapter takes part in the Komen Race for the Cure. It proves to be a very memorable day in which we help by both volunteering at and participating in the race. ZTA proudly co-sponsors the Survivor Program which provides pink t-shirts, caps, and buttons for survivors to wear during the race. 2009 marks the 14th year for Race for the Cure in Miami, held at Bayfront Park. Here at UM, Zetas cherish this experience because of the many strong survivors that touch our lives through their display of courage in their fight against breast cancer.
In addition, the Gamma Alpha chapter hosts events to benefit our philanthropy. In the fall semester our Think Pink Day dodgeball tournament highlights the significance of our philanthropy and is a fun way to contribute to the cure. One of the biggest and most successful philanthropy events on the UM campus is our annual fashion show. Held for the past 16 years, it is the highlight of our spring semester. Chapter members raise money, collect auction items, and model clothing from local boutiques to make the fashion show possible. This past year, over $35,000 was raised to benefit the Zeta Tau Alpha Foundation for breast cancer awareness and research.

For decades, the Arizona Wildcats' gridiron legends have been synonymous with the jersey numbers they've worn.
But who's the best?
Play our numbers game as we ask the question: Who is the quintessential UA football player to wear each number?
Who wore it best?
The number: 11
The showdown: Chris McAlister vs. Mike Bell
The comparison
Chris McAlister (1996-98)
The stats: McAlister was a lockdown cornerback who could do it all. In 1998, he returned a kickoff, punt and interception for touchdowns, becoming only the seventh player in NCAA history to do it all in the same year.
The details: McAlister's 1998 season was magic. On the year's first play, he returned a kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown at Hawaii. The cornerback captained maybe the best UA team of all-time, was a unanimous first-team All-American and won the Mosi Tatupu Award as the nation's best special teams player.
The postscript: His pro career is practically unimpeachable, and maybe the best of any UA graduate. He was one of 10 UA players picked in the first round of the NFL draft (10th overall by Baltimore in 1999) and appeared in the Super Bowl and the Pro Bowl. He was inducted into the UA hall of fame in 2003.
Mike Bell (2002-05)
The stats: Bell's 3,163 career rushing yards are fourth-most in UA history. His seasons were consistent, too: he ran for 920, 950 and 952 yards in 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively. His 222 yards on 26 rushes at Washington in 2003 is one of the great statistical feats ever for a UA back.
The details: The Tolleson High School grad was a college rarity, leading the Wildcats in rushing in each of his four years on campus - though he averaged only 28.4 yards his freshman year. He was a captain on Mike Stoops' first two teams.
The postscript: An undrafted free agent signee by the Denver Broncos in 2006, Bell appeared in the 2010 Super Bowl as a member of the New Orleans Saints. He played for six teams from 2006 to 2011.
The one-sentence debate: Perhaps no UA player, wearing any number, can compare to McAlister, but a four-time leading rusher might put up a good fight.
On StarNet: What's your take? Visit the Arizona Daily Star online at azstarnet.com/polls and vote for who you think wore it best.
Johnson vs. Carey
• Monday's question: Which UA football player wore No. 25 better: Vance Johnson or his nephew, Ka'Deem Carey?
• Results: Carey wins with 51 percent of the vote at press time.
Who wore it best?
No. 11
Chris McAlister CB • 1996-98
1st-team All-Pac-10 selections in McAlister's career
Mike Bell RB • 2002-05
Bell's career rushing yards, fourth-most in UA history

1. Nick Athan - With Tony Gonzalez returning to Kansas City on Sunday, do you think the fans will give him a warm reception. And do you think there is any doubt that he'll go into the NFL Hall of Fame as a Chief?
Dave Barr - I think the fans will give him a very warm reception. Unlike other former Chiefs who left to divisional rivals, Gonzalez left on good terms and will always hold a special place in Kansas City fans hearts. As far as Canton goes, Gonzalez is a first ballot hall of famer who arguably is the greatest tight end in NFL history.
2. NA - A lot has been said about the development of Atlanta Falcons Quarterback Matt Ryan. There are some people in the Georgia city that aren't sure he's a Super Bowl calibre quarterback?
DB - I don't think that there is any doubt that Ryan is a Super Bowl caliber signal-caller. Quarterbacks in the NFL get too much praise when things are good and too much criticism when they aren't. The Falcons are a maturing offensive unit with one of the top two receiving corps in the league (Hakeem Nicks and Victor Cruz with the New York Giants may be the only duo better).
3. NA - With the home opener on Sunday there is a lot of pressure on the Kansas City Chiefs to make a good impression and get off to a fast start, how big is this first game for the franchise and for the long term success of the season?
DB - The season opener sets the tone for your season. That's especially true for Kansas City this season as they try and remove the bad taste of 2011 from their mouths and from the mouths and minds of Chiefs fans. Every year brings high expectation s and 2012 is no different.
Dave Barr vs. Nick Athan
4. Dave Barr - Going into the season opener versus Atlanta - which Chiefs absence on the defensive side of the football will be the most daunting to overcome?
Nick Athan - I'd have to say without a shadow of a doubt it would be cornerback Brandon Flowers. The Chiefs defense can't afford to have their top cornerback sitting on the sideline at any point this season. Prior to his injury he in training camp he had the look of an All Pro cornerback.
5. DB - If you're the Chiefs - which Falcon do you fear the most WR Roddy White or RB Michael Turner?
NA - In my view it has to be Turner. Sure there is concern with the talent at the receiver position the Falcons posses. But it'll be a long afternoon at Arrowhead if the Chiefs front seven does not contain the running talents of Turner. If he's lose in the secondary, Matt Ryan, will have a field day with his play-action abilities in the passing game.
6. DB - The preseason is the preseason people say - but has there not been enough made of the momentum or lack of momentum by the Chiefs going into the regular season?
NA - Well I'd feel differently had this been a team run by Herm Edwards or even Todd Haley but not with Romeo Crennel. The veteran head coach has a good handle on his football team. Roc, as he's affectionately called by his players, had a plan this offseason that included working on situations in preseason games versus trying to win them.
After Sunday's contest, we're going to find out quickly if it paid dividends.
Don't have enough of Dave Barr and Nick Athan? Catch them every Monday and Friday Morning between 6:00 and 9:00 am on 1450 the Grind in Joplin, Missouri as they talk more Kansas City Chiefs football.
Predict the final score of Sunday's Falcons Chiefs contest?

New insights on horse behaviour and other equestrian news, September 28 to October 4Leave a Comment
Mare power
New studies into the social life of wild horses (pictured above and below) have found out that mares are not as subordinate to stallions as it was initially thought. They can gang up to refuse stallions they don't like or seek out those they do like. Horse behaviour can also be surprisingly similar to human behaviour, with complex relationships, power struggles and jostling for position.
Kaley Cuoco turns to horses after her marriage ends
A day after announcing her divorce from husband Ryan Sweeting, Big Bang Theory star Kaley Cuoco took part in a showjumping competition at La Cañada Flintridge, in California. Cuoco (pictured below at another competition) also bought herself a new horse, Zaza, whom she proudly showed off on Instagram.
Treve aims for Arc hat trick
Golden Horn and Treve (pictured below with trainer Christiane Head-Maarek) will battle it out at the Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe in Paris next Sunday, October 4.Treve, who has already won two Arcs, remains the hot favourite and could be the first horse to win the prestigious race for a third time but Golden Horn looks set to give her a run for her money.
Britain ends in second place at the Furusiyya FEI Nations Cup
The British quartet of Ben Maher and Diva II, Jessica Mendoza and Spirit T, Laura Renwick and Bintang II and Joe Clee with Utamaro D'Ecaussines (pictured below) went tantalisingly close to finishing joint first in the Furusiyya FEI Nations Cup showjumping final in Barcelona but a clear round by the last rider to go in the arena, Gregory Wathelet, gave victory to Belgium. Wathelet—the only competitor to jump a double clear in the final—also landed the €200,000 prize.
