Soon after the founding of the Center, the bibliography on antisemitism became one of its major ongoing research projects. The purpose was to create a reference bibliography for scholars and students engaged in research on antisemitism. Today, after almost fifteen years of listing and annotating works on antisemitism, the bibliography can truly be called an essential guide. The comprehensive, detailed subject and author indexes, and the table of contents allow access to the material in a variety of ways.
The Felix Posen Bibliographic Project on Antisemitism comprises an online database accessible through Israels university library network (ALEPH), and printed volumes.
The bibliography includes works published throughout the world about antisemitismbooks, dissertations, masters theses, and articles from periodicals and collections. It does not include newspaper articles, reviews, and works of fiction, nor does it cover antisemitic publications.
The project has two parts:
For the purpose of this bibliography, antisemitism is defined as antagonism toward Jews and Judaism as expressed in writings (e.g., the New Testament, polemical works, literature), in the visual arts (e.g., art, caricatures, films), and in action (e.g., pogroms, blood libel accusations, discriminatory legislation, the Holocaust).
The references are divided into three sections:
Antisemitism throughout the Ages
Antisemitism in Literature and the Arts
A staff of academic abstractors continually catalogs new material. Two additional staff members retrieve information in response to requests received from around the world, in addition to assisting faculty, students, and researchers at the Hebrew University. Bibliographies on specific subjects for workshops, conferences and study groups are retrieved on request.
There is also a database on The Jewish Question in German-Speaking Countries, 18481914 of approximately 4,500 references. This database is currently being expanded to cover events up to 1933.
Online Access to the Bibliographies
The above databases are accessible through Israels university library network (ALEPH), and can be reached from all over the world via Telnet and Internet.

Demonizing the Other: Antisemitism, Racism, and Xenophobia
Chur, Switzerland: Harwood Academic Publishers
At the close of the twentieth century, the stereotyping and demonization of others, whether on religious, nationalist, racist, or political grounds, has become a burning issue. Yet comparatively little attention has been paid to how and why we fabricate images of the other as an enemy or demon to be destroyed. This innovative book fills that gap through an interdisciplinary, cross-cultural approach that brings together a distinguished array of historians, anthropologists, psychologists, literary critics, and feminists.
The historical sweep covers Greco-Roman antiquity, the Middle Ages, and the modern era. Antisemitism receives special attention because of its longevity and its centrality to the Holocaust, but it is analyzed here within the much broader framework of racism and xenophobia. The plurality of viewpoints expressed in this volume provide fascinating insights into what is common and what is unique to the many varieties of prejudice, stereotyping, demonization, and hatred.

The research
will examine the categories that have constituted how antisemitism has
been understood and opposed by some of its major theorists. The development
of the conceptual category of anti-antisemitism as fruitful for the understanding
of the history of antisemitism is one goal of the project. Drawing on the
critical strategies of those theorists, it reconsiders the work of Jean-Paul
Sartre, Hannah Arendt, the Frankfurt School (focusing on Erich Fromm, the
collective work in The Authoritarian Personality and Horkheimer
and Adornos Dialectic of Enlightenment), Talcott Parsons essays
on the sociology of antisemitism, and the more recent efforts by thinkers
associated with postmodernism, especially Jean-François Lyotard.
It is a critical reading of their work in order to reconstruct genealogically
some of the central concepts that structure how scholars and the public
more generally have come to think about antisemitism after the Holocaust.
Dr. Vygantas Vareikis, University of Klaipéda, Lithuania
This study
will analyze anti-Jewish stereotypes and the growth of antisemitism in
modern Lithuania on the basis of historical and literary sources and folklore.
Utilizing nineteenth-century records, the Aura and Varpas
journals, the memoirs of Lithuanian politicians and intellectuals, and
collections of folklore, the penetration of antisemitism into society will
be explored. Another aim is to present the background and to explain the
participation of many Lithuanians in the implementation of the Final Solution.
Dr. Victoria Khiterer, Hebrew University
During October
1905, hundreds of pogroms took place in cities, towns, and villages in
the Ukraine. The research will investigate the political nature of these
pogroms and the involvement of the authorities. The Russian political context
will be analyzed, as well as the attitude of local and central authorities,
the social structure of the victims, forms of Jewish self-defense, including
the reactions to the pogroms as manifested by various groups in Russian
and Ukrainian society.
This study
will look at the attitudes of various social groups professional organizations,
churches, ordinary people to the official discrimination against the
Jews during the Holocaust period. Changes in the Hungarian collective consciousness
under the influence of antisemitic propaganda by the press and by representatives
of Christian Churches, especially the Catholic Jesuit and Franciscan orders,
will be analyzed. In addition, the reactions of the Churches leadership
when faced with the racial laws and with increased requests by Jews to
be baptized will be addressed.
Prof. Laslo Sekelj, Institute of European Studies, Belgrade
The research
will give a comprehensive sociological and historical description of the
various forms of antisemitism in Yugoslavia during the periods of state-building
(19001919), national conflict (19191941), during the Second World War
and the Holocaust, as well as during the recent period of state self-destruction
(19861991), and civil war (19911995). The examination of different antisemitic
aspects will be linked to the main historical and political processes which
took place in Yugoslavia and to ethnic tensions and conflicts.

The NSW government plans to roll 23 tribunals into one in an effort to simplify and speed up disputes, Attorney-General Greg Smith will announce today.
A NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal (NCAT), to begin in January 2014, will wrap up the existing Consumer, Trader and Tenancy Tribunal and Administrative Decisions Tribunal among others, but will not include the Industrial Relations Commission.
Mr Smith said NCAT would preserve the use of expert members on current tribunals and pool resources to improve the quality of services. It would also have its own appeals process to speed up the review of tribunal decisions.
NCAT will be split into five divisions – consumer, administrative and equal opportunity, occupational and regulatory, guardianship, and victims. A Supreme Court judge will be appointed president of NCAT and a deputy president will head up each of the five divisions.
The government will table its response to a standing committee inquiry today, which had recommended the creation of a consolidated tribunal.
Legislation to create NCAT should be introduced this year, while its rules and procedures will be developed in 2013 ahead of the 2014 start date.

The day we were supposed to shoot this, the Beaujolais Nouveau comes out.
There was only one letter addressed to Beaujolais, and it bore a foreign postmark.
"Those are a few of my brother's names," whispered Henri of Beaujolais to Molyneux.
We sought the salle--manger, and consoled ourselves with cutlets and Beaujolais.
Meanwhile the wine is merely a good wine; the best that I have tasted—better than a Beaujolais, and not unlike.
At Bouchet, for instance, I uncorked my bottle of Beaujolais, and asked the host to join me.
He noticed at last that the sun was setting behind the distant mountains of Beaujolais.
The health of Beaujolais soon began to suffer, and it was evident that he must die unless he could have fresh air.
In the Vivarais cattle are reared, while on the slopes of the Beaujolais excellent wines are grown.
All is of a bustle and hustle of the feverish life of to-day, whilst in the Beaujolais pursuits are agricultural.
type of Burgundy, 1863, from name of a district in the department of Lyonnais, France, which is named for the town of Beaujeu, from French beau "beautiful" + Latin jugum "hill."

Nice to meet you :-)
I'm from Glasgow, in Scotland. Recently I moved to Frankfurt Germany - I work as a head of department for English in an International school.
I absolutely adore music, both writing my own and listening, love film also, and I appreciate calmness in life. That said I like to party hard on occasions (like for example Edinburgh's Hogmanay 2014 NYE celebrations yesterday!)
A little more on music; I write my own as I said and have played in several bands in the past. All the bands have played atmospheric, indie/post-rock music which is my true calling. That said I absolutely embrace most music, with Neo/classical and electronica also holding great appeal. If you're not into music at all, or find it a distraction in your otherwise busy life, it's best not to message me.
Bands I adore are (in no particular order):
Sigur Ros
Explosions In The Sky
This Will Destroy You
Rival Consoles
A Winged Victory For The Sullen
Crystal Castles
...and many more
With regards to movies I really appreciate the work of directors such as Lynch, Fincher, Kubrick, Cronenberg, Del Toro or Anderson. Choosing a favourite movie of all time is unbelievably tough, but perhaps since 00, I'd say 'Pan's Labyrinth' by Del Toro could be one of the most perfect movies of all time. It's just spellbinding.
I'm looking for someone with similar shared interests based in and around the Frankfurt area. My work is kinda busy during the week but I need to meet new people and enjoy the city, hence my recent sign up on here.
I won't look at you twice if you smoke: it physically and morally repulses me.
Feel free to ask me anything I've not covered. I don't bite. Unless provoked ;-)
Writing music
Wishing the summer went on forever
Playing guitar
Spending money
Being friendly and giving people a chance
My deep blue eyes!
Sigur Ros
A Winged Victory For The Sullen
Jeff Buckley
I'd say 80% of the time it's a)
My work week is kinda intense and by Friday my battery is usually in need of a sleep recharge

I think you are missing something. The ram disk can expand a bit and still
fit in 64meg. It can expand significantly and still fit in 64meg at the
cost of live firmware updates. (You would have to pull and write the flash

Only so much fits. I think we can get a little more, but eventually you
will have to loose live firmware updates. I think this is not catastrophic.
However, another fork is a bad plan. m0n0wall is embedded, and pfsence is
not. Keep it that way.

"Gem?" More like a standard B-level Wu joint.
R.A.'s verse was type funny.
This could have been a gem… but wasn't
Song was pretty cool but a Gem it is not…
I really like some of RA's stuff, his flow didn't match this beat. Timbo was cool.
Actually, this song would've been cool over a different beat. This beat sounds like Game should be on it. Right?

The CDMA Development Group (CDG) has announced that the CDMA industry continued its strong growth through the first quarter of 2008, increasing its customer base by almost 17% over the past year to 451 million CDMA subscribers worldwide, with CDMA2000 and CDMA2000 1xEV-DO reaching 438 million and 97 million, respectively. The Asia-Pacific (APAC) and Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) regions claimed the highest year-over-year percentage subscriber growth for CDMA2000, while the Americas and EMEA experienced the highest percentage of subscriber growth for CDMA2000 1xEV-DO.
In APAC, the total CDMA subscribership (cdmaOneTM and CDMA2000) rose to 231 million, which accounts for 51% of total worldwide CDMA subscribers and marks a 30% increase from March 2007 to March 2008. North Americas 140 million subscribers claim the second highest percentage of global CDMA subscribers at approximately 31%, with CALAs 62.8 million representing approximately 14%. In EMEA, CDMA subscribership reached 17.7 million.
Over 97% of CDMA subscribers around the world are now taking advantage of 3G CDMA2000 services. CDMA2000 grew by 38% in APAC over the past year, bringing the total number of CDMA2000 subscribers in the region to 223 million, accounting for almost 51% of the worlds users. North America is the second largest region for CDMA2000 with nearly 138 million, or 31% of the global users. In EMEA, the CDMA2000 subscriber base reached 16.5 million.
CDMA2000 1xEV-DO subscribership increased to 97 million users globally, with 52 million subscribers in North America and 39 million subscribers in APAC continuing to comprise the majority of the worlds EV-DO users at 54% and 40%, respectively. Uptake is surging in North America and EMEA where increased demand for mobile broadband raised subscribership by 74%and 123%, respectively. The CDG attributes this growth to outstanding broadband performance and, for emerging markets, 3G CDMAs suitability across varied terrain to serve as an alternative to wireline Internet access.

Alfalfa weevil--consider cutting as a management option
Somewhere in Iowa this spring, alfalfa weevil populations will exceed economic thresholds and cause significant yield loss. Now is the time to be scouting alfalfa for this pest. I like to use a sweep net to simply determine if larvae have hatched in the field. Sweeping even a small patch of alfalfa with a net can reveal whether or not larvae are present. If no larvae are found, then move to the next field. However, if they are found in the net, the next step is the stem-sampling technique. This technique more accurately determines the population size and the potential for economic damage.
Collect 30 stems by holding the top of the plant with one hand and breaking the base of the stem with the other hand, or cut it with a knife. Holding the top of the stem prevents larvae from dropping from the stem when it is broken or cut at the base. Then place the stems (upside down) inside a white, 5-gallon bucket and beat them against the side. Large larvae are easily knocked loose and can be counted, but newly developing leaves must be pulled apart to find very small, newly hatched larvae hidden in the plant tip.
Alfalfa weevil larvae have a very dark head, almost black, and are pale green with a white stripe down the back. When the alfalfa weevil hatch, they are approximately 1/16 inch in length and may be light yellow. After feeding for several days, they turn green. They are 5/16 inch in length when fully grown.
Alfalfa weevil larvae may be confused with larvae of the clover leaf weevil, although these are much larger, have a light brown head, and often have the white stripe edged with pink. Clover leaf weevil larvae usually hide around the base of the plant during the day, feed mostly in lower leaves at night, and rarely cause economic yield losses. Clover leaf weevil larvae should not be counted as part of the alfalfa weevil sample.
Economic thresholds are shown in Table 1. Measure the plant height and then determine the average number of weevil larvae per stem, based upon a 30-stem count, before consulting Table 1. The economic threshold depends on crop height, estimated crop value, control costs, and the growing conditions stated in Table 1. If weevils exceed the economic threshold, then consider cutting the forage as the first management option. However, make certain that the hay is at the optimal developmental stage before cutting. If the hay is not ready to be cut in several days, then an insecticide might be necessary. Several insecticides labeled for weevils are listed in Table 2.
Table 1. Economic thresholds based on alfalfa weevil larvae per stem, calculated from a 30-stem sample*
*Use the smaller threshold if alfalfa is drought-stressed or control costs are relatively low ($7-10 per acre). Use a larger threshold if rainfall is abundant, diseased larvae are present, or control costs are relatively high ($11-14 per acre).
Table 2. Insecticides labeled for alfalfa weevil

Hey everyone, I've been a big Raiders fan since ... well ... as long as I can remember. I'm currently 25, and living in the midwest USA after a small stint in Newcastle, Australia. I played college football for two years at running back before tearing up my knee, so I'd like to think that I have a decent amount of knowledge of the game.
Hope to see you all around the boards!

Hello all. My name is Kenny, and I live about 40 miles NW of Atlanta. I grew up, though, in West Tennessee and I first remember following the Raiders in 1989. The local AFC games that we would get were mostly Kansas City, for some reason. I remember watching a KC - LA (at the time) game, and loving the Raiders.

I am from Leeds in England. I have been a Raiders fan since 1984. Favourite players were Marcus Allen and Howie Long and of the current team I really like Jerry Porter and Charles Woodson. Obviously got limited knowledge but will try to browse a lot before asking a stupid question. Hope you will bear with me but I am really interested in the NFL, especially the Raiders, and your opinions will help extend my knowledge.
Apologies to Juan00. I should have read this thread before posting re Tank Williams!

I'm from Columbus, Oh. I've been a fan since they won the SB in 83, the year i started playing pee wee FB. My all-time Raiders are Lester & Bo.
My favorite player now is CWood. We need him and it would be a mistake to let him go. He gets hurt because he is always trying to make plays. Look what he did against TO this year and what did Chump in Denver do and what DeAngelo in ATL did. Look what CWood does against Gates & Gonzalez. We need CWood... Fabian, Routt, Toast Hill & Nmamdi just can't get it done right now!!

Hello everyone, Im a 31 year old raiders fan living in bakersfield, ca via stockton, ca and have loved the Raiders for as long as I can remember. My dads a Raiders fan, his dads a Raiders fan, Silver & Black runs in our blood. I have been a season ticket holder for the last five years, but had to give them up this season because of work schedualing conflicts, but plan on getting them back next season. My favorite past Raiders were Howie Long and Bo Jackson. I loved the way Howie looked in a Raiders uniform, the way his facemasked looked with the u-bar coming down was legendary. Bo Jackson, without a doubt could have been the best running back to ever play the game. He had it all speed, power, size and he knew how to use it. Its a shame how is career ended. Today, I like watching Porter, and as of last season, Derrick Burgess. He's a beast. Anyways, I look forward to hereing what everyone has to say and throwing my two cents in every now and then.

As you might have guessed, I'm from good ol' Boise, Idaho, a Raider fan since I was eight, and I'm now pushing 30. I'm a grad student in English at Boise State, and could not have been more excited when one of Boise State's best players in 2004 ended up on the Raiders' roster: Chris Carr.
As a fan beginning in the '80's, my all-time favorite players have to be Marcus Allen, Howie Long, Todd Christensen, Rod Martin and Lester Hayes/Mike Haynes. Bo Jackson will forever be the HOFer who isn't. And as a USC fan for just as long, I am not angry, but will always lament, the draft choice of Todd Marinovich.
Today, my favorites, far and away, are Kirk Morrison, Carr and Ron Curry. I have high hopes for Jake Grove, as a CENTER, and I think Fabian Washington may prove me wrong for saying he was pathetic burner with no skill when he was chosen.

My name is Matt and I live in Beaver Falls PA. Home of the State Champs!!!! And I have been a Raiders fan since I can remember. I'm 19 years old and I have always been apart of the Raider Nation. I play college basketball at one of the Penn St. branches but Raider football has always been my first love. I have always been attracted to the Raiders mystique even though growing up in a town with all Steeler fans. I have the Oakland Raiders symbol tattooed on my right arm. I know 3 other people that are Raider fans, and they are the only ones around here thats apart of the Raider Nation, the rest are all Steeler fans. When i was younger I remember going into my room to watch the Raider games when the rest of my family was downstairs watching the Steeler games. Everytime the Raiders come to Pittsburgh I am at the game with my Raiders Jersey, Hat, Pants, and my face painted silver and black. I can't remember the last time the Raiders came to Pittsburgh and I missed the game. All of friends get on me for being a Raiders fan but I will never abondon the Nation. I bleed Silver and Black, and I am always a Raider Fan first over any other of my favorite teams in other sports. The Raiders have a saying There are 31 teams in the NFL and then there are the Oakland Raiders. Fear the Nation. Super Bowl 41 Champion Oakland Raiders!!!

My favorite Raider players are:
1. Danny Clark A.K.A. Hammerhead. He makes a ton of tackles and is one of the hardest hitters in the NFL. He's the most underrated player in the NFL.
2. Fabian Washington He tackles as well as any CB in the league especially for his size. He's got tremendous speed and we may have gotten the best CB in the draft. He is going to be a stud.
3. Randy Moss When healthy he will contribute like he did in Minnesota. In his first 4 games before he started playing hurt he was dominating the League.
4. Kirk Morrison A great tackler and if he would of played for a playoff contender he would of gotten talked about like Tatupu, Merriman, Thurmann, and Ware. He is going to be better then all of them.
5. Derrick Burgess How can you leave him off the list. He lead the NFL in sacks. A freak of nature.
Retired Raiders
1. Tim Brown He is the main reason that I am a Raiders fan. I loved watching him play when i was younger.
2. Rod Martin He had more INT's then any other player in Super Bowl history. 3 IN ONE GAME. The most underrated Raider of all-time.
3. Kenny Stabler A great leader on the field. He always made the big play when it needed to be made. The original master of the 4th quarter comeback.
4. Lestery Hayes Should be in the HOF. He gets snubbed every year. A true shutdown CB.
5. Jack Tatum A.K.A. The Assassin Always looked to knock the opponents head off. The hardest hitter in NFL history.

Changing the whole guard
Getting his own people
Curt Onalfo apparently won't have to worry about hurting anybody's feelings to make room for his own assistants at the LA Galaxy. According to one report (albeit on Twitter), Bruce Arena is taking his entire LA Galaxy staff (not counting Onalfo) with him to the U.S. national team: Dave Sarachan, Pat Noonan, Matt Reis and his son Kenny Arena.
Sarachan, a 62-year-old veteran of the NASL (Rochester Lancers) and MISL (Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Kansas City), has been with Bruce Arena since joining him as an assistant in 1984. He's had his own stints at the top job at Cornell and the Chicago Fire.
The other three have played under Arena at either the national team or club level (or both) and have been his lieutenants at the Galaxy for the past few years: Noonan, 36, since 2013 and Reis, 41, and Kenny Arena, 35, since 2014.
That will give Onalfo, who in actuality wasn't an Arena assistant for the past three years but the head coach of the club's LA Galaxy II developmental team in the USL, a whole staff to hire.
The right accent
An anonymous report in a British tabloid/website has Vancouver Whitecaps FC coach Carl Robinson being considered as manager of Swansea City. However, Swansea City already has a manager, former U.S. national team chieftain Bob Bradley.
Yet, after getting chastised on a radio broadcast by Danny Gabbidon – who in October said he "couldn't take Bradley seriously" because of his New Jersey accent, now Bradley is getting slammed (in social media and similar avenues) for using the rarely uttered phrase "PK" in an interview for "penalty kick." Is that the final straw?
(Criticism of Bradley, 58, probably also has something to do with his 2-6-2 record since taking over at Swansea and the club being tied for last place in the English Premier League.)
Without quoting any sources, The Sun said Robinson "is the shock name in the frame" to be mulled for Swansea.
Robinson, 40, has been running Vancouver for three seasons, qualifying the 'Caps for the playoffs in his first two years but had an eighth-place finish in the MLS' Western Conference this year with a 10-15-9 record.
Bradley qualified for the playoffs seven out of seven seasons in MLS with three teams (not counting 2005 when he was fired with three games to go but the MetroStars qualified anyway) and won MLS Cup (1998). But since Robinson played in Britain for 12 years and played for Wales 52 times, he at least wouldn't make the unforgiveable mistake of calling a penalty a "PK."
Expansion horse race
Nashville and Charlotte have moved toward the front while St. Louis has slipped into the pack in the MLS expansion sprint, if recent reports are to be believed. Nashville's prospects supposedly have taken a step forward with John Ingram, chairman of the Ingram Industries book and transportation conglomerate based in the city, emerging as the lead investor of the group, The Tennessean says.
Ingram's mother, Martha, and the Ingram family is listed as worth $4.1 billion according to Forbes (No. 156 on the Forbes 400).
The announcement that Nashville will be a venue for the Gold Cup probably didn't hurt the city and The Tennessean indicated there has been some discussion about cooperation between Vanderbilt University – which wants to build a football stadium – and Ingram (a "donor and supporter of Vanderbilt athletics") about sharing a home.
Charlotte's efforts have been bolstered by quiet meetings between Marcus Smith, the CEO of Speedway Motorsports, Inc. (SMI) – which owns Charlotte Motor Speedway, and "league executives and industry consultants", according to the Charlotte Business Journal.
Smith spoke about building a "brand new stadium" and submitting a bid for a team by the end of January.
At the other end is St. Louis, whose bid took a hit earlier this week when Democrat-turned-Republican Missouri Gov.-elect Eric Greitens called a request from the city of St. Louis for $40 million in tax credits toward a $200 million downtown stadium "welfare for millionaires."
Prospective MLS club owner SC STL asked for, and got, postponement of a scheduled vote by the Missouri Development Finance Board on the proposal. SC STL vice chairman Jim Kavanaugh, who also owns USL side St. Louis FC, said his group is working on "contingencies" if the tax credit isn't approved.
Seven other cities supposedly are in the running: Cincinnati, Detroit, Raleigh/Durham, Sacramento, San Antonio, San Diego and Tampa/St. Petersburg.
Teams 21 and 22, Minnesota and Atlanta, start next year. No. 23, LAFC, is to start in 2018 and No. 24, Miami?...
If the other 10 hopefuls want to be one of the expansion clubs 25 or 26, they'll have to get their bid in by Jan. 31.
Not so American soccer
There were 43 games in North America this year that topped the 40,000 plateau in attendance – only 16 of them involved a North American team.
Nearly half, 20 (including four matches involving the U.S. national team), were Copa America matches; seven were International Champions Cup club friendlies (Real Madrid-Chelsea at Ann Arbor, Mich., topping the list at 105,826); 12 were MLS games; and four were friendlies involving Mexico.
Only three games involving North American teams made the top 20: the U.S.-Argentina Copa America semifinal (69,451), the U.S.-Colombia Copa America third-place game (67,439), and the Orlando-Salt Lake MLS season opener in Florida (60,147).

STAFF at Altrincham-based Inrix are getting ready to model some funky new hairstyles for this year's Wig Wednesday.
Staff at Inrix are preparing for the event on May 21 to support CLIC Sargent, the UK's leading cancer charity for children and young people.
Thousands of people across the UK will be donning wigs for the day to raise funds and show support for children and young people with cancer, many of whom lose their hair during treatment.
Michele Atkinson, recruitment and HR co-ordinator at Inrix, said: "We are quite a small company but are very excited to be taking part in Wig Wednesday to raise some vital funds for this very important cause.
"Our staff have some fantastic wigs to wear and we will also be doing a bake off on the same day to raise even more money."
CLIC Sargent fundraising campaigns manager, Katie Turton, said: "We're so pleased Inrix will be getting their wigs on to take part in this year's Wig Wednesday.
"Every day 10 children and young people hear the devastating news they have cancer and CLIC Sargent is here to provide vital support from diagnosis onwards.
"Wig Wednesday is a great opportunity for schools, businesses, universities and communities to raise money and support children and young people with cancer.
"If you or your school, group or workplace would like to join in the fun and wig-up on 21 May you can find out more at www.clicsargent.org.uk/wigwednesday or call 0845 1212 492."

In November, we're being asked to vote on extending a bond override to save the Kyrene and Tempe Union school districts from financial disaster. We're being told such an action won't increase our taxes. Really?
A bond, public or private, is a form of debt. A debt must be repaid. The public sector has only one source of funding... taxes. In the case of school districts, it's property taxes. Yours and mine.
Because a bond is debt, interest must be paid on that debt in order to make it profitable for the lender. The debt service on the Tempe Union High School District (TUHSD) bonds is currently $7,607,025 and is projected to be $8,125,085 for the coming fiscal year. A 6 percent expense increase.
That money must come from somewhere. Where? Our property taxes? That can't be, because we're told by the school district leadership it won't happen. But, then, we can't always count on government folks to be accurate in their projections, can we?
Now that we can be secure in the knowledge our property taxes won't increase, we must consider other sources for debt service and debt reduction. Perhaps the state of Arizona will come to the rescue. Great idea! But wait... the state gets its funding from taxes, too. We can't win for losing. The tax man cometh one way or another.
But, but, but it's for the children, our future leaders. We must do this!
However, prudence says it's smarter to reduce the debt, thereby reducing the debt service, thereby leaving more money to pay teachers to teach our children to be good stewards of their money. Notice administrators weren't included because the ratio of administrators to teachers is almost 90 percent in the TUHSD while at the Kyrene School District it's 68 percent. That begs the question, is all that extra support payroll necessary for TUHSD? (The student-teacher ratio is 1:20.7). That's a question which must be answered before we begin to think about extending the override.
Kyrene has done a masterful job in reducing its debt service by about 64 percent (2012 fiscal year compared to 2011 fiscal year). The student-teacher ratio is about 26:1. Kyrene has a current ratio of about 7:1 according to the June 30, 2012 financial report and assets increased by about $1.8 million. These are good numbers. Total revenues dropped about $2.8 million. Not bad considering the decrease in real estate tax income due to the drop in real estate values. As real estate values improve, the tax revenue will increase. Of course, this premise is based upon the good folks in Foggy Bottom and our state Legislature gaining a little common sense.
All things considered, it looks as if some financial housekeeping could avoid the need for approval of the bond override. Operating within budget is the answer, not a vote to extend the debt.

Last week, I received a ticket for snow removal and I am boiling! I remove the snow off my sidewalks every time it snows. I even plow some of the neighbors' sidewalks.
Then, along come the city plows on Elizabeth Street, and they push the snow all on the east side and cover up my sidewalk. Then the condo building on my west side plows its driveway onto my sidewalk.
Am I supposed to plow again? By then the snow is frozen and 2 feet deep. I'm 69 years old, for heavens sake! What does the city want? An old lady with a heart attack?

Over the last few years, daily deal sites have grown enormously in both popularity and membership. The largest of these sites - Groupon, Living Social, Woot and Eversave - drew large crowds of virtual shoppers on the hunt for gift deals this holiday season. These deal-of-the-day websites and the many others that have sprung up recently offer consumers opportunities to purchase deeply discounted gift certificates that can be redeemed at both local or national companies. And with so many consumers still on the lookout for savings this holiday season, daily deal sites are an attractive source for great gifts on a tight budget.
My Shore Deals, hosted by The Press of Atlantic City, partners with local merchants to offer great deals throughout the remaining days of 2011, and continuing into 2012. Over 200,000 people are exposed to My Shore Deals each day, offering savings coupons for products and services.
Typical deals offer 50 percent off the retail price of the goods or services and become valid once the number of deals purchased reaches a predetermined threshold. The cost to the consumer is usually between $10 to $40.
Registration is free and the daily deal offers for everything from food, fitness and fashion items to salon services, entertainment and special events. All of these gifts are delivered via e-mail and localized to the South Jersey market area.
If you have purchased a My Shore Deal for someone as a gift, be sure they know how to redeem the deal for goods and services. The instructions will be included on the voucher, which is e-mailed to you once your credit card is charged.
Giving daily deals as gifts generally works two ways. The purchaser either presents the gift certificate itself or uses the deal to purchase the actual gift item. Either way, there are few, if any, drawbacks to daily deal shopping. There are only two things to keep in mind when purchasing daily deal vouchers as gifts: Note the expiration date. Most daily deal certificates have an expiration date, which is often one year from the date of purchase. Especially when purchasing activities, accommodations or services, make sure that the person receiving the gift will be able to use it within the specified timeframe. Read the offer carefully, including the fine print. Some offers come with conditions. For example, a yoga studio or hair salon might limit the use of the vouchers to new customers or specify that the deal can only be used for particular classes or stylists. In most cases, however, daily deals are straightforward and don't require more than one read to decipher.
Also, a daily deal is one that cannot be returned. As with My Shore Deals, all sales are final.

The Eagles have hatched
Don't take it from us how great the Redwood Coast is. Here's what writers, photographers, bloggers and regular folks have to report.
Live video: Humboldt Bay Eagle Cam
A pair of raptors have nested over California's second largest natural bay. See the birds up close as they take care of their spring younglings.
Media: Men's Journal finds wilderness beach
The adventure magazine praises the coast around Shelter Cove as "the only significant stretch of California without a shoreline highway, and so has thus far escaped tourism's aggressive paws."
Pets: Ruffing it in the redwoods
The San Francisco Chronicle took their pooches to their favorite spots in California and Humboldt ranked near the tops, thanks to numerous dog-friendly beaches and redwood trails, including Eureka's Sequoia Park.
Pic: Green carpet near the Avenue of the Giants
This view of lush sorrel, aka, Redwood clover, has generated a flurry of re-posts and comments on Pinterest and Facebook. Why not walk through the real thing?

Bad Guy: "I just called you a cheat!"
Maverick: "You also called me uhh 'Gutless,' but I figured you were just teasing."
I have to admit that I've never been a big fan of Westerns. All of the 10-gallon hats, beer-filled saloons, cowboys chasing so-called Indians and showdowns at high noon never jangled my spurs. So, I went into
with a bit of apprehension. I'm here to tell you that this isn't your everyday Western. In fact, director Richard
Lethal Weapon
Donner presents a film that's as much a parody of Westerns as a tribute to the genre.
Expert poker player Bret Maverick (Mel Gibson) is days away from the big poker championship game which, if won, stands to make him half a million dollars (that's lots of dead presidents for the late 19th Century). All he needs is a few thousand more to make the $25,000 entrance fee. During one of Maverick's stops, he meets up with the lovely "Mrs." Annabelle Bransford (Jodie Foster), and Marshal Zane Cooper (James Garner, who played Maverick on the original TV series from the '50s) - both of whom are on their way to the big game as well. Annabelle is a charming, but feisty, small-time thief who can ante up with the best of them, and Marshal Cooper is a lawman who will be in charge of security for the high-stakes championship. And as any movie fan knows, a great good guy deserves an evil bad guy - Angel (Alfred Molina) is one mean and tough hombre who must stop Maverick from making it to the big game.
As our heroes journey to the poker championship, they meet up with an out-of-control stagecoach, damsels in distress and a tribe of very modern Indians (don't expect
Dances with Wolves
"Indians" here). During the journey, there's plenty of action and even more laughs that will keep the most avid of Western-haters entertained. The third act of the movie takes place at the poker championship. While intended to be the film's climactic scenes, they never quite equal the downright rambunctious fun of the first two acts. Still, there are several surprises at the end of the movie, and I'll be danged if I tell you what they are.
Not unexpectedly,
is very
Lethal Weapon
-ish in style and execution. Mel Gibson brings with him all of the goofy playfulness of Martin Riggs, and Richard Donner directs this film with the same wit and keen ability to mix action and comedy as he did with the
saga. Is this bad? Hell no! This is absolutely what makes this film a hit.
The anamorphic 2.35:1 widescreen presentation on this DVD is a click or two below the usual high standards of Warner Bros. The overall presentation is a bit on the soft side, with obvious compression artifacting and minor edge enhancement. But the print is clean and the disc sports a good black level. For those who find it acceptable, there is a pan & scan version on the flip side of the disc. The Dolby Digital 2.0 soundtrack is open and spacious with a nicely recorded score. The narration sometimes sounds a little boxy. This soundtrack is a great example of the abilities of good old Dolby Pro Logic, but I missed the extra dynamics of a 5.1 mix.
The extras on this disc are presented in a "Gallery." When you enter the Gallery section, you'll find options to read cast & crew biographies and some information about the production of the film in different sections such as "Location." This is all text-based, and what it boils down to are the standard cast & crew biographies and production notes, but they're presented in a slightly different way, and there is a bit more information than usual. However, behind-the-scenes featurettes, deleted scenes and director's commentaries are more fun, and would have been more than welcome on this disc. Perhaps one day Warner will deal us a better hand and provide us a special edition a la the re-released
Lethal Weapon 1-3
is a very entertaining flick, filled with action and laughs. The technical qualities of the DVD are about average and there really aren't any interesting supplements, but a view of the film is well worth your time. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to take the "Indian Bravery Test"

Road Trip: Monroe – From the Bird's Nest
We have a two hour pre-game show now, so any time we're on the road, it means leaving early and getting to the destination early. We figured with a 3:00 kickoff, leaving at about 8:30 would be a good idea.
Gerald Broussard and his wife Julie were traveling separately from us. G had planned to bring his dad as well, but he had to cancel.
We had a guest with us. Tootie Landry does a feature called "Not Necessarily the News" on KPEL 96.5. She has been wanting to do a story on what the broadcast team does on gameday. We were happy to have her as our guest.
Steve drove. I made sure I prayed before we left. He drives almost as fast as he eats. But seriously, he got us there in good time with no issues. For those of you who haven't made the drive in quite a while, driving to Monroe is much easier than it used to be. It is now four laned all the way into the Ouachita Parish city. You still have to be careful in places like Ball, Olla, Georgetown and Pollock (we saw someone get stopped in Pollock) but you now avoid downtown Columbia and can get there in a little under three hours.
I had called Louisiana-Monroe Sports Information Director Alex Edwards prior to the trip to make sure we could get into the press box that early.and he said it wouldn't be a problem…and it wasn't. We went to our booth to start setting up equipment.
Now, you've heard me mention just how high the press box is at ULM. I don't know of one higher at an on-campus facility. Both Tootie, and Gerald after he arrived, agreed I was not exaggerating. The press box also has windows that can be opened by facilites folks. I had asked Alex to send someone to do that. We decided not to open the windows right in front of us because they opened inward and would cut down on our space. We asked to have just the side window opened so we could put a crowd mic out.
Good thing.
Because there was a meeting of the Wasp Swarming Society that day at Malone Stadium, just outside our booth.
I mean, they were everywhere. We got the window opened, put the mic out and closed the window as best we could and hoped the wasps didn't come to visit en masse. As it turned out, I only saw one inside the booth. It landed right in front of me and met its doom courtesy of my cell phone, which did not break when I whacked the wasp.
Saturday, of course, was the day we turned our clocks back for the end of daylight savings time. In Monroe, they turned back the clock three days in order to celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness Day. Of course, that's in October. I give credit to more than half the crowd who chose NOT to wear pink, since November is pancreatic cancer awareness month. And, the color for that is purple. And, give even more credit. Some ULM fans obviously knew that because many wore purple.. I'm not quite sure what the gold was for, however.
Now, the next part of this has to do with the name thing. Feel free to skip over it if you're tired of the whole thing.
If you know me, you know I'm a little anal about the name of the University when it comes to athletics. I use Louisiana, which is the preferred athletic brand. I don't use University of….and I rarely use UL. And, I have always adhered to the University's wish that they never be called Lafayette or ULL athletically. That's been since the day the name was changed back in 1999.
For some in Monroe, that doesn't sit well. And, the folks at ULM, despite their desire and success in branding themselves as such, seem to spend more time worrying about what the Cajuns call themselves than they do what would be considered by many to be more important things.
Saturday, they took it to a new level.
On their new scoreboard (which is very nice by the way, as is their intro video for the team) the left side said "Warhawks." On the right side, it said "ULL."
Now it should be noted that at Cajun Field, it is the norm for the home team to be billed as "Louisiana" on the scoreboard and the name of the school (example: North Texas) on the other side. But when ULM came to Cajun Field last year, the Cajuns' administration ordered the scoreboard to read "Cajuns" and "Warhawks" out of respect to our guests. And, that really chapped some of the Cajuns' fans who are proud of the Louisiana brand.
A member of the Cajuns' administration asked his counterpart from ULM that the scoreboard be changed to Warhawks/Cajuns. The administrator from ULM refused, saying it was policy not to use the opposition nickname on the scoreboard.
It must be a pretty new policy. ULM certainly used "Bears" when Baylor was in town.
The broadcast went smoothly (and our thanks to the fans in the stands who brought a radio and listened to the broadcast on our Monroe affiliate) and so did the postgame. Then it was time to pack it all up and head home. We said goodbye to Gerald and headed down US 165.
Right about the time we got in the car, the LSU-Alabama game was beginning and naturally we listened. We also stopped at the Sonic in Columbia, which is kind of a tradition. Normally I would have a chicken sandwich (this eating healthy thing is going to turn me into either a chicken or a fish one day) but, since we won, it was a SuperSonic double cheesburger, my first in about three months. (I would have ordered the Ragin' Cajun burger but they don't have it in Columbia.)
I also came across two women in pink tee shirts who had been at the game. I didn't have the heart to ask if it was really still October in North Louisiana.

Dog Ear Mites
First, a word of warning
There are many causes of ear infection in dogs
and ear mite infection is not the most common. If you
suspect your dog has an ear infection it is extremely
important that you consult with your veterinarian to obtain
a correct diagnosis.
What are Ear Mites?
As the name suggests, ear mites are a tiny
spider like parasitic mite that infect the ears of dogs and
cats. They usually live in the ear canals but can live
on other parts of the dog or cat's body. They are
more commonly found in cats than dogs.
They are a common cause of ear infection in cats, uncommon
in adult dogs, but common in puppies under 6 months of age.
Ear mites feed on epidermal
debris & ear wax. They burrow into the ear, causing
inflammation which the body responds to by producing more wax.
Ear mites are terribly uncomfortable for your
dog. Imagine how it would feel having thousands of little bugs
running around in one of your most sensitive areas. Usually
the first symptom you notice will be your dog scratching his
ears or shaking his head due to the extreme itchiness that the
mites cause. His ears may be painful to touch and he may cry
in pain when you touch them or while he is scratching them. He
may rub his face along the ground trying to relieve the
itching. You may also notice a foul odor coming from the ears.
Dogs may cause damage by scratching causing the
ears to bleed. They may also shake their ears with such
intensity that small blood vessels are broken and hematomas
Diagnosis of Ear Mites
you have a look inside the ear of an infected dog you will
see dark reddish brown or black debris throughout the ear
canal which has been described as looking like coffee
grounds. Ear mites are visible to the naked eye (but can be
seen more clearly with a magnifying glass) They are
identifiable as white dots moving around among the dark
Consult with your Veterinarian
Your veterinarian will look in your dogs ear with a
magnifying instrument called an otoscope and may inspect the
debris from the ear under a microscope for a more definite
diagnosis. Ear mite infections can be serious if left
untreated resulting in damage to the ear canals and eardrums leaving deformity of the ears and possible deafness.
Secondary bacterial or yeast infections are
also common so it is important to consult your veterinarian.
Your dog may require antibiotics for secondary
bacterial infections.
Treatment of Ear
Mites. How do I Get Rid Of
Ear Mites?
A word of warning. Over the counter ear mite treatments will
be of no benefit to other types of ear infections that can
commonly affect dogs. Ear mite infection may be misdiagnosed
by the dog's owner often causing a delay in getting the
correct treatment from their veterinarian.
Ear Mite Treatments
It is
marketed under Advantage Multi in the US, Canada and New
can purchase ear mite treatments in the form of ear drops from your pet supply
It is important to clean
out all the
gunky black stuff from the ear canal
daily before applying the medication. You can clean this with a thin cloth or cotton balls
dipped in olive oil. (or any other vegetable oil)
the ear canals are cleaned the medication should
then be massaged deeply into the dog's ear
taking care to get into all the nooks and crannies of the ear
This treatment should be continued for 2 weeks after the dog
seems to be cured to ensure that all ear mites are killed as
they progress through their life-cycle.
Are Ear Mites Contagious?
Ear mites are very contagious
and can be passed on from cat to dog or
dog to dog.
Can Humans Catch Ear Mites?
No, humans are not affected by ear mites.
