Press Mentions
Upper West Side
Upper West, from Central Park West to the Hudson River, 59th Street (excluding Columbus Circle) to 110th Street.
Every ten blocks of the Upper West Side seem to have its own character. The 70s and 80s have their share of "Classic Six" prewar apartments (that's two bedrooms, a living room, dining room, and kitchen plus a room for the maid or domestic staff, sometimes used as a home office) as opposed to a "Classic Seven," which has all these rooms in addition to another bedroom. Along Riverside Drive on the Upper West Side, some grand-scale apartment buildings with magnificent river views perfectly match the street's name. Meanwhile, the southern bit of the Upper West Side embraces the Time Warner Center, which has some of the most spectacular luxury condos in the city, along with high-end shops like Coach and Hugo Boss, once-in-a-lifetime eateries like Per Se, and a giant subterranean Whole Foods that seems to have the capability to hold every resident of the Upper West Side at once.

Altius Vodka
Vodka Micro-Distilled from Grain Sugar in Colorado
80 Proof (40% ABV)
Typical Price: About $30 for 750ml
Altius Website
For most people the great state of Colorado means one of two things - ski trips and John Denver. We've come to discover there are other high points in the state, and we're not talking about the Rocky Mountains. We got our hands on a bottle of Altius Vodka recently, an export from the Centennial State that aspires to distinguish itself from the vodka pack by using fresh Colorado spring water to try to capture the essence of the state's great outdoor heritage. If you've ever hiked in the Rock Mountains of CO you know what we mean...once you get up high enough the air smells cleaner, everything seems brighter and you get a little buzz of the lack of oxygen in your bloodstream.
But does Altius live up to its Rocky Mountain High aspirations? We believe it does so read on for our full tasting notes and decide for yourself.
Color: Clear
Just like all well-made vodkas, Altius is clear as a bell both in bottle and glass.
Nose: Be a Pepper
It's been a while since we reviewed a straight up unflavored vodka, and we'd forgotten how much we liked it. The smell was herbaceous up front with a peppery back end that reminded us a bit of what we like about Ketel One, which ranks high among our favorite vodkas.
Taste: Feel the Burn
The Ketel One comparison carried on in our first taste as well, and the flavor was crisp, clear and smooth. The vodka thickened a bit in our mouths as we rolled it on our tongues. The finish was clear and peppery and not too long. All in all we were impressed. Our favorite drink we mixed with Altius was a bone-dry vodka martini with a twist of lemon, and it was also a favorite among the interns; go to the site for more Altius drink recipes.
Verdict: Buy It
We know this one will be a tough one since it's only available in Colorado right now, but if you find yourself in the presence of a bottle we say give it a try. We think Ketel drinkers will definitely like it, and so will anyone who has a taste for high-end vodka. We don't think Altius is for slopping together with any old fruit juice, but we recommend it on the rocks with a twist, in a vodka martini, or any other way you can mix it without stomping all over the flavor.

Ever since our redesign a few weeks ago, we've been determined to focus more on quality of cars we feature rather than quantity. That said, we're going to start this week off right with one of the cleanest Lexus IS' we've ever featured on StanceNation. If you're from the Southern California there is a good chance you'll recognize the following car. It belongs to Carl who happens to be friends with our photographer Gabriel, who both happen to be in one of SoCals finest crews, BP VIP. We don't know Carl personally but judging by his car's fitment & overall appearance we're confident that he is a classy perfectionist who enjoys attention. Jokes aside, it's pretty obvious that Carl is passionate about his car. Let's take a closer look at it shall we?
Photos By: Gabriel Phyo Yang exclusively for StanceNation.com
We have a ton of respect for this car. Despite all the VIP "goodies" that were added to the car it still manages to know exactly what it is. Carl has found a great balance between his inspiration and the reality. But then again, almost everything that the BP VIP guys build is pretty damn impressive so perfection is almost expected from them. We also gotta give props to Lexus for doing an incredible job with these 2IS', they're truly underestimated. Take a look at the awesome fitment work on this bad boy in the photos below.
We always have trouble coming up with proper titles for all our features but second we saw Carl's fitment the word "flawless" came to our mind, hence the title. Not too many people nail their stance like Carl did, even those on air suspension. His choice of wheels was just right, SSR Professors SP1's in 19×9.5 up front and 19×10.5 in the rear. Front tires are 225/35/19 while the rears are 235/35/19. Behind those beautiful shoes sits the Rotora 6-pot big brake kit which looks incredible might we add. As mentioned earlier, Carl also opted for Universal Air Suspension.
That brings us to the exterior. It's actually a pretty simple setup that works really well. Modified JP Vizage front lip, Wald International side skirt combined with Wald International rear lip, a JUN-TW roof spoiler and lastly the Kazz Sports Grill. Again, flawless in every way in our opinion. We especially love the rear end photo that we attached above! Even the Greddy SP2 exhaust looks perfect on this thing, don't you think? Drop a comment below and let Carl know we're not alone here!
So what does the future hold for Carl? He says although he is satisfied with how the car turned out, he is still thinking of supercharging it, having a simple yet sexy trunk set up and a few other little touches on the interior. Oh, also the sexy Artisan Spirit fenders which we love very much. We'll leave you guys here with some more photos like we always do. Big shout out to Gabriel for the incredible photos and of course Carl. We hope to get a chance to meet some day, it would be an honor. Make sure you shoot us an email at firstname.lastname@example.com if you think your car has what it takes to be on our site. Thanks for reading.

The Georgia Technology Authority sponsors two certification programs aimed at helping state agencies build expertise in project management.
The Project Manager Certification Program is designed to better align traditional project management to state business practices. The program provides the project manager with skills beyond the traditional Professional Project Manager (PMP®) credential. The curriculum, assessments, reviews and coaching have been designed to teach state project managers how to ensure a project delivers a valuable business solution in support of an agency's mission.
The Project Assurance Manager Certification Program is designed to enable an agency to perform project assurance activities on its own projects. By providing agency staff with the skills to perform project self-assessments, the program helps to reduce the costs of project assurance and Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V).
To register or for more information about any course, e-mail us at email@example.com. Please include "PM Certification Program" in the subject line, and the course name and your name and contact information in the body of the e-mail. You will receive a confirmation for the course.

But corruption probably has already made this typhoon worse. Money for roads was diverted, giving people less ability to evacuate. Hospitals didn't get the resources they should have. Some houses might not have been flattened if they had been built to code.
"Petty corruption in urban areas means that building inspections don't happen and building codes are not enforced," said Steven Rood, the Manila-based representative of The Asia Foundation, a nonprofit development organization. "Even middle-class homes are not built to withstand a typhoon, much less poor homes."
Filipinos working abroad and sending money home to their families are an important source of cash in the country under any circumstances, but Fernandez, the New Zealand editorial adviser, expects that they will be skeptical about giving money to the government. He said he thinks they will simply donate to nongovernmental agencies providing aid to typhoon victims, but Rood wasn't certain even of that.

Is it time for the Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen star to go to Confession? A French fashion magazine's new cover features Lindsay Lohan, arms splayed, in a crown of thorns and low-cut white robe.
Catholic League chief Bill Donohue says "not only is the pose inappropriate, the timing is offensive" due to the proximity to Lent (starting Wednesday), and that the actress should apologize, according to Politics Daily's Disputations column.
Of course, it's a near-naked publicity stunt by Purple. But wait, aren't there some similarities between Lindsay and Jesus?
That's a provocative question from Rev. Jim Martin, blogging at In All Things for America magazine.
Noting that both got their big career launch as pre-teens, Martin has a little fun comparing "how their records stack up" before socking it to the starlet. A few examples:
Lindsay is a "triple threat" in Hollywood: a singer, a dancer and an actor. Jesus is a member of the Holy Trinity.
Lindsay has recorded for Universal Music. Jesus is the King of the Universe.
Lindsay released a self-tanning product in collaboration with Sephora, and was the face of the Fornarina, an Italian clothing line. Jesus visited the Roman town of Sepphoris in Galilee, and is the face of God.
Lindsay worked on a film called I Know Who Killed Me. Jesus knew who killed him, and forgave them from the Cross.
Lindsay will star in a movie called The Other Side, hoping for a comeback. Jesus died, went to the Other Side and had a big comeback, too: Easter.
Life lesson for Lindsay: Be careful who you imitate, lest you suffer by comparison.
Lohan is not the first celeb to find herself berated by Catholics and other faithful for depicting or referencing Jesus -- remember Madonna on the cross in her Confessions concert tour? Even Lohan herself has been in hot water before for a magazine cover imitation, though it had much more to do with baring it all than with beliefs: the New York magazine Marilyn Monroe shoot.
DO YOU THINK Lohan should apologize to Christians? Or should they ignore it to avoid giving her and the magazine cover more attention?

Princess Iron Fan
Based on the 16th-century tale Journey to the West, this allegorical film made in 1941 was China's first full-length animated feature. It follows the adventures of Monkey King, a Tang Dynasty monk, as he travels westward. Monkey King and his friends try to save a burning village, but to do so they must obtain an iron fan owned by the obstinate Princess Iron Fan. The story spoke to Chinese resistors, prompting them to unite against the Japanese.


text: RT Sound Recording DB /z-wcorg/ DS http://worldcat.org ID 45769661 LA No Linguistic Content T1 Century rolls ; Lollapalooza ; Slonimsky's earbox A1 Adams, John,, Ax, Emanuel., Dohnányi, Christoph von., Nagano, Kent,, Adams, John,, Adams, John,, Adams, John,, Cleveland Orchestra., Hallé Orchestra., PB Nonesuch PP New York, N.Y. YR 2000 AB Of all the so-called minimalists working today, John Adams is the only one with any good ideas left. Witness this delightful release. The key to Adams's creativity is that he isn't bound by theoretical constraints on what "minimalism" should be. Century Rolls (1995) is a commission by Emanuel Ax, and it was inspired by the composer's listening to a CD recording of an ancient player piano. Century Rolls doesn't duplicate that sound, but it is, instead, an unexpected romp across new rhythmic territory. As for Mr. Ax, he comports himself very well, particularly in the difficult first Movement, which requires deft coordination of all forces involved. The brief Lollapalooza (1995) is more recognizably minimalist but with considerable orchestral color and shifting moods. And Slominsky's Earbox (1996) is a powerfully full-orchestra-driven canter. All this is to say that the CD is one of the best releases of Adams's career, and it will appeal to a very wide audience. --Paul Cook.

The Weekly Standard's John McCormack should quit while he's behind
Blog ››› ››› ERIC BOEHLERT
He's been chasing his tail over the whole Nazi-mini-mob connection for more than a week now and honestly, it's sorta sad to watch.
TWS is peeved that anyone would think that right-wingers protesting health reform would brandish Nazi posters and talk about Hitler. TWS's frustration is palpable. (Building a political movement around Hitler posters? Not such a good idea.) But it's obviously misdirected. If deep thinkers at places like TWS think it's wrong to bring swastika posters to town hall rallies, than why doesn't TWS condemn it?
And more importantly, if TWS thinks only "idiots" talk about Hitler as part of our national discourse, why doesn't anybody get up the nerve to call out Rush Limbaugh when he does it? I asked this question last week and never did get a response, so I'll ask it again: Has anyone at TWS condemned Limbaugh, either in print or online, for recently equating the Obama White House with a Nazi organization? Anyone?
We'll see if McCormack can follow this rather obvious logic: If the most-listened-to conservative in the country openly refers to Obama and his administration as being Nazi-like, and then nobody in the Right says boo about it, guess what? Mini-mob members (and self-identified "conservative" "Republicans") take that as a green light to bring Nazi posters and yell "Heil Hitler" at rallies.
So until TWS gets up the nerve to, y'know actually disagree with Rush Limbaugh, save us the lectures about how nobody on the right would dare evoke Nazi and Hitler. It's laughable, because the guy who runs the GOP does it all the time.

So I can't pick a football game to save my life, but I can sense the consummate trap game when I see one.
For all the Rangers accomplished in their three-game winning streak, it's still apparent they look a certain killer instinct.
IÂ think back to what Brendan Shanahan told me earlier in the year: the best teams think of winning as their drug, as an addiction they can't get enough of. This team isn't there yet.
More from practice, specifically on the status of Blair Betts, later. Fourth-line center and all, that would be a big loss….

ARLINGTON, Va.- The U. S. Department of Labor's Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) has awarded New Jersey a grant totaling $47,965 for training, education and other mine safety and health activities. New Jersey has approximately 90 active mines and 1,863 miners.
The amount is part of an overall grant of nearly $7.8 million being made this year to 48 states and the Navajo Nation.
"Education and training are among the primary tools available to help us achieve the healthiest and safest mines possible," said Dave D. Lauriski, assistant secretary of labor for mine safety and health. "In fact, they comprise one of the key elements - along with enforcement and technical assistance - that make up MSHA's Triangle of Success. These are the tools that the law provides us to influence safety and health in the mining industry.
"This grant will enable the state of New Jersey to work toward a goal that we all share - ensuring that every miner returns home safely at the end of every working shift," Lauriski added.
States participating in the grant program provide a variety of instruction - from entry-level training for those who are starting in the mining industry to annual refresher classes and instructor courses for those who will be training other miners. Many of those courses meet the requirements under federal training standards. Other training covers responding to medical emergencies at remote mining sites, noise abatement, mine rescue, water hazards rescue and certifications for various jobs ranging from electrician to hoisting engineer.
Mining operations in New Jersey interested in participating in training sessions should contact Peter Slaton, New Jersey Department of Labor, at (609) 633-2587.

Revising for and taking Exams
Last-minute 'cramming' for exams is the worst of all worlds - it is very stressful, is unlikely to lead to good marks and you won't be able to remember much of it within a few days of leaving the exam room.
It makes much more sense to start exam revision in plenty of time - all it takes is a little planning and self-discipline to avoid those late nights, cold sweats and so-so grades.
Revising for Exams
Here are nine tips on revising for exams:
a. Make use of your learning style when you revise
a. Make use of your learning style when you revise
Tips for Visual Learners
Tips for Auditory Learners
Tips for learners who are readers and writers
Tips for Active Learners
b. Plan in good time
A week in hand
Aim to have your revision completed by a week before your exams. This gives you:
Be realistic about:
Aim for a balance between subjects you're strong in and those which you're less confident about.
c. Active revision
It's not enough just to re-read notes, make your revision active! Here's how:
Have plenty of paper and a pen handy.
Study a section of your notes, and memorise the essential points.
Put your notes out of sight, and write down from memory the essential things you learned.
Check with your notes.
Note any points you omitted or got wrong, and learn them.
d. Old exam papers
Look through old exam papers
Make outline plans for the answers
Note carefully the slight differences in how questions are asked from year to year.
e. Pace yourself
Use your time well.
Don't try to do too much at once. Take a break from time to time in each study period.
f. You're not alone
Revise with other people sometimes; if you don't feel that you've entirely grasped a topic, or don't have any 'new' ideas on it, discussing it with other students can be helpful. This is specially useful for Auditory Learners.
g. Reward yourself
Recognise the targets you have achieved. Mark your progress on your revision plan so that you can see what you are achieving.
h. Trust
Trust your memory.
Once you know a subject thoroughly, move on to the next. Don't keep checking your memory to see if it's doing its job.
It's like a filing system, and it will produce what is required at the appropriate time.
i. Look after yourself
Sorry to sound like your Mum, but...
Try and eat a healthy diet, not just chips and burgers! Take time out for meals; don't try to work while you're eating dinner.
Too much tea and coffee can increase your anxiety levels and induce insomnia. Caffeine tablets have the same effect.
Get some exercise! You don't have to go mad. 20 minutes exercise 2-3 times a week will give you more stamina, help reduce stress and help you to sleep.
Don't try to work through the night before an exam.
Taking exams
Here are eight tips for helping you cope on the day of an exam:
a. Eat
a. Eat
Have a reasonable amount to eat before the exam. Some people find it helpful to take sweets or chocolate into exams as they help maintain blood sugar levels. But don't rustle those wrappers.
b. Trust
Don't get into conversations about the exam just before the start; other people may make you more nervous or start confusing you. If you've prepared thoroughly, trust your own knowledge.
c. Organise
Get to the exam room in good time.
d. Comfort
Remember that you will be sitting still for some hours. Make sure that you will be warm enough.
e. Nerves
If you do get nervous or anxious, take some time out; getting a glass or water or going to the loo can help.
Don't give up. it's always worth going back in and trying again.
f. Instructions
Read through the instructions, make sure you understand them.
Read through all the questions and decide which ones you can answer.
Divide the time available by the number of questions you have to answer, to work out how much time you can give each question.
Allow five minutes at the end of each period for reading through your answers.
g. Questions
If they ask you to answer four questions, they will allocate marks to each one. So there's no point in spending all your time on just two questions, you'll never get more than 50% of the available marks that way.
Attempt the number of questions you are asked to answer.
h. Preparing
If you are giving essay-style answers, spend the first 5-10 minutes of your available time noting down the ideas you wish to include.
Put them in a logical order and write your answer.
It is a good idea to practise writing this kind of timed answer as part of your revision routine.

Your next step should be to print out and work through the study guide Preparing effectively for examinations

NYT "Mystery" Oped Calls for More Afghan Civilian Deaths
On Thursday the New York Times made an astonishing editorial choice, for which its editors owe the public an explanation: it published an op-ed by an obscure and poorly identified author attacking General Stanley McChrystal for his directive last July that air strikes in Afghanistan be authorized only under "very limited and prescribed conditions." The op-ed denounced an "overemphasis on civilian protection" and charged that "air support to American and Afghan forces has been all but grounded by concerns about civilian casualties."
The author of the op-ed, Lara M. Dadkhah, is identified by the Times merely as "an intelligence analyst." In the body of the op-ed, the author identifies herself as "employed by a defense consulting company," without telling us which company, or what her relationship might be to actors who stand to lose financially if the recognition that killing civilians is bad for the United States were to affect expenditures by the United States military.
As Glenn Greenwald asks in Salon:
We've Caught the Taliban Chief! Can We Go Home Now?
How the U.S. handles the Pakistani arrest of the top Afghan Taliban military commander, and the aftermath of the U.S. military assault in Marja, may have a decisive impact on whether we get to withdraw our troops from Afghanistan soon, or in the far-off future. Some analysts - like Gareth Porter - think the key motivation of the present U.S. military escalation is political in the bad sense: in order to negotiate with the Afghan Taliban, first the U.S. has to "show that nobody pushes us around," just as President Bush had to escalate militarily in Iraq before he could cut deals with the Sunni Awakening and the Mahdi Army militia. It's a grim world in which the most powerful country kills people to look tough; but right now, the way to minimize human suffering is for the U.S. to take advantage of recent "successes" to take a high road towards going home.
The arrest of Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar could cut two ways, the New York Times notes. While it's obviously a psychological blow, at the least, against the Afghan Taliban, it could complicate efforts to reach a peace deal:
Team America Kills Five Kids in Marja
"Civilian casualties are inevitable," said U.S. officials before launching their weekend military assault on Marja in southern Afghanistan, and in this case, they were telling the truth. Yesterday, the New York Times reports, a U.S. rocket strike "hit a compound crowded with Afghan civilians... killing at least 10 people, including 5 children."
What justification has been provided by the government of the United States for its decision to kill these five children?
It will be argued that the government of the United States did not decide to kill these five children specifically, and that's absolutely true. The U.S. government did not decide to kill these particular children; it only decided to kill some Afghan civilians, chosen randomly from Marja's civilian population, when it decided to launch its military assault. These five children simply had the misfortune of holding losing tickets in a lottery in which they did not choose to participate.
Recall the U.S. government's instructions to Marja's residents before the assault:
Afghan villagers should stay inside and "keep their heads down" when thousands of U.S. Marines launch a massive assault on a densely-populated district in coming days, NATO's civilian representative to Afghanistan said Tuesday.
NATO forces have decided to advise civilians in Marjah not to leave their homes, although they say they do not know whether the assault will lead to heavy fighting.
These five kids were staying inside, as instructed. It didn't save them from U.S. rockets. Perhaps they weren't keeping their heads down.
Afghan Civilians Imperiled by US/NATO Assault in Marjah
The United States and NATO are poised to launch a major assault in the Marjah district in southern Afghanistan. Tens of thousands of Afghan civilians are in imminent peril. Will President Obama and Congress act to protect civilians in Marjah, in compliance with the obligations of the United States under the laws of war?
Few civilians have managed to escape the Afghan town of Marjah ahead of a planned US/NATO assault, raising the risk of civilian casualties, McClatchy News reports. "If [NATO forces] don't avoid large scale civilian casualties, given the rhetoric about protecting the population, then no matter how many Taliban are routed, the Marjah mission should be considered a failure," said an analyst with the International Crisis Group.
Under the laws of war, the US and NATO - who have told civilians not to flee - bear an extra responsibility to control their fire and avoid tactics that endanger civilians, Human Rights Watch notes. "I suspect that they believe they have the ability to generally distinguish between combatants and civilians," said Brad Adams of Human Rights Watch. "I would call that into question, given their long history of mistakes, particularly when using air power. Whatever they do, they have an obligation to protect civilians and make adequate provision to alleviate any crisis that arises," he said. "It is very much their responsibility."
If Michael Moore Would Run for President
If Michael Moore would run for President in 2012, it could be a game-changer in American political life. For starters, it would likely shorten the war in Afghanistan by at least six months, and the American and Afghan lives that would be saved would alone justify the effort.
If Moore announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomination now, and followed up that announcement with a vigorous campaign focused on the struggles of rank-and-file Democrats, it would re-mobilize rank-and-file Democratic activists. It's possible that he might even win; but win or lose, the campaign could arrest and reverse the current rightward, pro-corporate trajectory of our national politics, which is the predictable consequence of the failure of Team Obama to deliver on its promises from 2008, which in turn was the predictable consequence of the doomed effort to try to serve two masters: Wall Street and Main Street.
Like few people with his political views, Michael Moore needs no introduction to the Democratic primary electorate. To most rank-and-file Democrats, the name Michael Moore stands for a set of progressive populist ideas: health care for all, workers' rights, opposition to Wall Street's stranglehold on Washington, closing down the wars of empire and bringing our troops home.
In 1984 and 1988, the Jesse Jackson campaigns showed what could be accomplished running a populist, issue-based, movement campaign in the Democratic primaries and caucuses. In 1984, Jackson got more than 3 million votes, a fifth of the total, and won 5 primaries and caucuses. In 1988, he got almost 7 million votes and won seven primaries and four caucuses; at one point, following his victory in the Michigan caucus, he was ahead in delegates.
Eat Your Spinach: Time for Peace Talks in Afghanistan
In the last week the New York Times and Inter Press Service have reported that the Obama Administration is having an internal debate on whether to supports talks with senior Afghan Taliban leaders, including Mullah Muhammad Omar, as a means of ending the war in Afghanistan. Senior officials like Vice President Biden are said to be more open to reaching out because they believe it will help shorten the war.
Wouldn't it be remarkable if this remained merely an "internal debate" within the Obama Administration? Wouldn't you expect that the part of public opinion that wants the war to end would try to intervene in this debate on behalf of talks in order to end the war?
As an administration official told the New York Times,
"Today, people agree that part of the solution for Afghanistan is going to include an accommodation with the Taliban, even above low- and middle-level fighters."
And in fact, US and British officials have been saying for months that the "endgame" in Afghanistan includes a negotiated political settlement with the Afghan Taliban.
Now, suppose you tell Mom that you want to have ice cream. And Mom says, you can have ice cream when you've eaten your spinach. Wouldn't you eat your spinach? If you don't eat your spinach now, you didn't want ice cream very badly.
AWOL from the SOTU: Peace, Reconciliation, and Debt
On foreign policy, while the President said some good things, he missed key opportunities to say better things. In particular, he missed opportunities to promote reconciliation as an essential way of ending our wars and promoting peace. In speaking about U.S. domestic politics, the President is eloquent in his efforts to promote reconciliation, but he seems to have lost his voice in applying these ideas to our foreign policy.
The President renewed his promise to end the war in Iraq, including his promise to have all U.S. combat troops out by August, and to bring all of our troops home from Iraq. He also said we will support the Iraqi government as they hold elections, and partner with Iraqis to promote peace and prosperity. But there was a key omission here: the word "reconciliation." Hundreds of candidates have been disqualified from running in the March parliamentary election; Sunni and secular candidates have been particularly targeted. If this move is allowed to stand, reconciliation in Iraq will be imperiled, the civil war could be reignited, and Iraq's relationship with its predominantly Sunni Arab neighbors would be further strained. The U.S. is working to overturn the exclusion; by refering more explicitly to those efforts, the President could have promoted Iraqi reconciliation.
UN: Time for Direct Talks with Afghan Taliban Leaders
The top United Nations official for Afghanistan has called for direct talks with senior Taliban leaders. Is anyone in Washington listening?
The New York Times reported Sunday that Kai Eide, the United Nations special representative for Afghanistan, "called on Afghan officials to seek the removal of at least some senior Taliban leaders from the United Nations' list of terrorists, as a first step toward opening direct negotiations with the insurgent group."
Eide also called on the U.S. to speed its review of the roughly 750 detainees in its military prisons in Afghanistan - another principal grievance of Taliban leaders.
Eide said he hoped that the two steps would open the way for face-to-face talks between Afghan officials and Taliban leaders.
"If you want relevant results, then you have to talk to the relevant person in authority," Mr. Eide said. "I think the time has come to do it."
It's an unquestioned dogma in official Washington that while of course every informed person knows that the endgame in Afghanistan is a negotiated political settlement with the Afghan Taliban, the time is not ripe for negotiations; the Afghan Taliban have to be weakened first through military escalation, because their leaders are not ready to talk peace.
It's never explained how U.S. officals know that Afghan Taliban leaders are not ready to talk peace, unless the definition of "talking peace" is "acceding to U.S. demands." A reasonable inference is that these statements by U.S. officials are a dodge: U.S. officials are not ready to talk peace.
Obama Invokes "Just War," But Is the War in Afghanistan "Just"?
"Accepting Peace Prize, Obama Evokes 'Just War,'" notes the headline in the New York Times, referring to President Obama's speech accepting the Nobel Peace Prize. President Obama did indeed invoke the concept of a "just war." But tellingly, he did not try to argue that the U.S. war in Afghanistan meets the criteria to be judged as a "just war."
A plausible explanation for the President's failure to argue that the war in Afghanistan is a "just war" is that he recognizes that such an argument would not be convincing.
As President Obama noted in his speech, there are criteria involved in the "just war" concept. It isn't just a matter of proclaiming that a war is justified. There are tests.
This matters, because a substantial part of the U.S. and world population subscribes to the theory of "just war." In particular, more than a fifth of the U.S. population are estimated to identify as Catholics. The concept of "just war" - that wars can be considered "just" only if they meet certain criteria - is an official doctrine of the Catholic Church.
Here's part of what the official Catechism of the Catholic Church has to say about this:
Avoiding war
2307 The fifth commandment forbids the intentional destruction of human life. Because of the evils and injustices that accompany all war, the Church insistently urges everyone to prayer and to action so that the divine Goodness may free us from the ancient bondage of war.
2308 All citizens and all governments are obliged to work for the avoidance of war.

Defending V8 Supercars champion Jamie Whincup faces another long day behind the wheel after his Holden again struggled in qualifying in Townsville on Sunday.
But Ford fans continued to rejoice after Mark Winterbottom claimed pole position for Sunday's 200km race.
Winterbottom clocked one minute, 13.61 seconds to top the timesheets after the 20-minute session ahead of Holden young gun Scott McLaughlin (1:13.76) and David Reynolds (1:13.90).
It was something else to celebrate for long suffering Ford fans after Winterbottom placed second behind teammate Will Davison in Saturday's opening 70-lap race.
Ford snatched the quinella to mark just their third win of the season.
It was a timely shot in the arm for Blue Oval fans after Ford announced in May it would cease production in Australia and kill off the Falcon by October 2016, throwing the manufacturer's V8 future in serious doubt.
Series leader Whincup again struggled and will start 15th on the starting grid.
The four-time V8 champ had expected to extend his dominance in north Queensland after winning five of the previous eight races in Townsville before this weekend.
But Whincup had few answers after finishing seventh in Saturday's opening race after qualifying 16th.
"It's a similar story to yesterday," Whincup said.
"It just shows how critical set-up is. We get it right most of the time but it shows that you should never take it for granted."
Whincup's Holden teammate - and nearest championship rival - Craig Lowndes is fifth on the grid for race two while Saturday's race winner Davison is ninth.
In another worry, Whincup's team is under investigation for an unsafe pit release following the resumption from a late red flag caused by a spring that flew onto the circuit off Russell Ingall's Holden.
Racing starts at 1535 AEST.

Lens-less camera emerges from metamaterials work
Cheap sensors that help cars avoid collisions could emerge from research into a lens-less imaging system.
US scientists have used metamaterials to build the imaging system, which samples infra-red and microwave light.Metamaterials are materials that have properties purposefully designed rather than determined by their chemistry.The sensor also compresses the images it captures in contrast to current compression systems, which only squash images after they are taken.Most imaging systems, such as those found in digital cameras, use a lens to focus a scene on a sensor studded with millions of tiny sensors. More sensors means more detail is captured and, generally, produces a higher resolution image.
The imaging system developed by graduate student John Hunt and colleagues at Duke University in North Carolina has no lens and instead combines a metamaterial mask or aperture and complicated mathematics to generate an image of a scene.The aperture is used to focus different wavelengths of light in different parts of a scene onto a detector. The different frequencies in the scene are sampled sequentially.This sampling helped to work out the distribution and mix of light wavelengths and their relative intensities found in a scene, said Mr Hunt.
"Then we use some very elegant maths which was developed in computational imaging to turn that data into a 2D picture," he told the Science podcast. The wavelength sampling was done electronically so happens very fast, he added.Currently the imaging system could capture about 10 images per second, he said. In addition, the imaging system compressed the information as it was gathered. Most other image compression systems, such as the widely used Jpeg format, are applied after an image has been snapped.
While imaging systems that capture infra-red and microwave wavelengths already existed, said Mr Hunt, they were typically expensive, bulky or complicated to build.By contrast, the Duke imaging system used a thin strip of metamaterial mated with some electronics and processing software. Although it did not yet work with visible wavelengths of light, Mr Hunt said it could lead to a range of cheap, small, portable sensors that could find a role in many different fields."You could build an imager into the body of a car to do collision-avoidance imaging," he said, "or you could have a cheap handheld device to look through walls for wires and pipes."A research paper detailing the work has appeared in the journal Science. – BBC

Personal History
Little Rock
Born March 12th, 1844 in Little Rock, Arkansas, James Herman Dawson was the son of a trapper originating from New York.
The War
Jim was 17 years old when Arkansas became a part of the Confederate States. He volunteered to fight for the Confederacy as soon as he heard the news. He fought in the disastrous battle of Pea Ridge and ended his service when Little Rock was occupied by Union forces. He spent a few months as a P.O.W. in Gratiot Street Prison in St. Louis during 1863. He was then transferred to Camp Douglas up in Chicago until the end of the war.
Post-War Arkansas
Dawson was released shortly after the war was officially concluded. He took the train south and made his way back to Little Rock. There, he tried to earn his living doing various odd jobs. The toll of the war left it's mark on the town and it's economy was in dire straits so Dawson left to find a living elsewhere. He survived by hunting and fishing for a time in the forests of Arkansas, occasionally making do in small towns with menial tasks of short-term benefit. His wanderings led him down to Dekalb.
Texas and the KKK
Dekalb, Texas. Jim Dawson found himself there in in 1868 when he was 24 years of age. He loved the forested countryside, finding it easy to make do for himself and sell his surpluses in Bowie County. Spending a great deal of time in Dekalb and Boston, he found himself a few jobs that turned into tracking down men for cash. These were generally Confederate die-hards or trouble-making KKK thugs. A good deal of this was hunting down KKK members that were executing vigilante justice against ex-slaves and Union soldiers. Jim made plenty of enemies during this period of his life in north-east Texas, living here until 1870.
Jim left his old life in Dekalb as quick as he could, making his way to Fredricksburg, Texas. He spent a little bit of time there working ranches owned by German ex-patriots as security and bounty hunting for the local law enforcement. He tired of the local politics and mind-numbing security jobs, striking out towards New Mexico and Arizona. During these years he didn't stay in one place very long, hunting down outlaws and thieves for money, eventually winding up in Mule Springs, Arizona.

You guys remember the brown eyes/blue eyes woman from the 60s? She turned her third grade class into eye-color nazis just by telling them eye color was important and executing a few religious excercises centering around eye color. (State religious stuff, you get what I mean).
If someone wants to find the youtube vids, they're pretty shocking. I don't have flash player in this garbage friend of gubmint education institution.
I came across this article and noticed the (intense adjective) similarities.
Politics divides. Peace unites.
And don't worship authority, especially the state.
PS - And I think marketplace (peaceful) competition is superior to political (coercive) competing. Violence begets violence, yet the market always works itself out.

ANKARA – Turkey on Monday announced it will lift a ban on women wearing headscarves in most public offices, following other measures critics say are aimed at the Islamization of the staunchly secular country.
In a major speech to introduce political reforms, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that, with a few exceptions, public servants will be allowed to wear headscarves after a long-standing ban is overturned. However, the ban will remain in effect for judges, prosecutors, police and military personnel, he added.
The lifting of the ban was part of major political reforms announced by Erdogan to enhance the rights of minority groups, including Turkey's 15 million Kurds.
The headscarf controversy reveals the rivalry in Turkey between religious conservatives, who form the bulk of Erdogan's Islamic-rooted Justice and Development Party (AKP), and secular opponents. Secularists, particularly those in the army, see the headscarf as a symbol of defiance against the strict separation of state and religion, a basic tenet of modern Turkey.
Erdogan's government was hit by a wave of nationwide unrest in June that threw up the biggest challenge to his decade-plus rule. Protesters called Erdogan a "dictator," accusing him of Islamization in the predominantly Muslim but firmly secular country.
Critics say Erdogan's rule has left Turkish society more polarized than ever, with opponents of the AKP government openly voicing concerns that Turkey is sliding toward conservative Islam. In 2004, his party attempted to submit a controversial amendment on banning adultery but had to back down amid criticism from opposition parties and women's groups.
More recently, Turkey's parliament passed legislation curbing alcohol sales and advertising, the toughest such measures in the republic's history.
Kurdish groups had also demanded that Erdogan go further on liberalizing restrictions on the use of their language, so that Kurdish children would have the right to education in their mother tongue. Erdogan's proposal will allow private schools to have some classes in Kurdish.

Review by: Moira Richards
The poems in Moira Egan's poetry collection are gathered together in five sections, each of which sort-of correlates to one of the meanings of the wonderfully layered title word, Cleave. So, poems celebrating the narrators sexuality are collected under cleave as in passing through, whereas those about the narrators true love are placed with cleave as in to hold fast onto. The framework is all very cleverly thought out and I like most about this poet, her adroit way with words.
I read the book through and enjoyed the way that Egan in one poem transformed my least favorite household chore (ironing) into an erotic experience as the narrator describes her preparation of her best sheets (for a special occasion) to spread upon her bed after which, she says;
I start to hum
everything the Sirens might have sung.
(Ars Poetica)
A little further on I was caught up by another piece of eroticism where I'd least have thought to look. Here is a bit to tantalize about him, -
the man who plays the double bass,
.. he springs up
and brings her in, singing;
strong and long
he plucks the low C open
and every woman in the audience
loses her innocence.
(Double Bass Envy)
When I had read to the end of Cleave, I turned to the blurbs on the back cover to see what other readers had to say about the poems. I was amazed to see Michael Colliers mention of Egan's use of poetic form - her marvelous triplets, Sapphics, quatrains, sonnets, and sestinas. Hmmm ... I'd not noticed any use of form, had assumed all the poems to be free verse. Granted, I don't know much at all about form, dI'dn't know most of those that Collier mentioned, but I do know a sonnet and was sure I could not have missed seeing one of those. Back I went through the book, counting the lines of every poem that looked close to fourteen, and there they were, including the eight sonnet sequence entitled, Bad Dreams/ One-Night Sonnets that I had managed not to notice despite its title.
What a treat to reread those sonnets, now with an understanding of the form in which they were writ! The puck-like Moira Egan does not write her poems into poetic forms - she writes her poems to play with their form. And this flirtation of her poems with their form adds to the joy of reading her work.
Then I asked google what the requirements are for Sapphics and triplets, and went back to Cleave to learn from Moira, how to flout those requirements with panache. Last, I looked up sestina. Sestina! I remembered then that impossible form that I had wrestled with for a long time in my own writing, before admitting defeat. Back to the book to count thirty-nine liners and yes, there were Love & Death and Moving the Muse. The latter I had particularly enjoyed as a free form narrative piece, and I am now sooo very admiring of how the poet fit her poem so elegantly and with such wit, into this (for me) most confounding of poetic forms.
Moira Egan and her poems in Cleave have gone a long way to show me the delight of reading poetry written in form, and may perhaps even entice me to brave writing in it again.

A really small world, huh? So, what is your name?
My name is Christine, but everyone calls me Chris.
Now, I've got some clarifications for you...
Sammy Roberts is not Johntye Roberts. They are two different people. Johntye lived in Vicarage, while Sammy lived in Swetes (East of Aarons Farm).
Sammy Roberts was married to Patience Roberts. Sammy Roberts had the following children - Salomie, Iyonie, Theodore (Theo), Sidney, David and James Roberts.
Sammy Roberts, Gideon Roberts and Iyota Roberts were siblings.
Johntye Roberts had two daughters (one in St. Croix, not sure of name), Roslyn (lives in England) and a son (not sure of his name). And, it seems that Johntye was more related to the Sawcolts Village Roberts.
Sammy Roberts' mother and my Great grandmother's (Henrietta Christian) mother were sisters.
Hope that helps.
By the way, do not know how the Roberts came to Antigua, but family members say that they have been in Antigua for several generations.
I've asked my dad and another family if they remember Julia Roberts, and they do, but it's not ringing a bell right now. So, tell me about your family.
I'll send you a link at the email to my family tree website. It will come from MyHeritage.com on my behalf.

both licenses allow you to use them on ONE project.
single use for example is for a single website, single client etc. and not distributed to another people.
extended covers redistributables(for sale or for download by MULTIPLE people)
so I think your usage would fall on extended license
@theflyingtinman I thought that wasn't in affect until Monday
You're right. I thought the original question was to do with trying to understand the wording of the new license types recently announced. (I was probably wrong)
So let me get this straight. If I buy an extended license for a file fom FD, I can use it in a template that I was to sell it here?
ok, I just found this . It was in the newsletter licenses

Important Notes Image Viewers and Galleries purchased under a regular or extended license may NOT be used within other Envato marketplace items.
Important Notes Video Players purchased under an extended license MAY be used within website templates for sale on ThemeForest or FlashDen.
So it depends on the purchased file type. I don't know how you expect someone on the forums to make it any clearer than that!
man you were fast
That's how I understand it. I hope I'm not wrong again.
'Fraid so
Dang it. I'm always wrong!!! Arrgghhgh. Thanks tinman.
You're thanking him for proving you wrong? LOL , and anyway, he didn't prove you wrong, he extended your info
EDIT : And it doesn't compare to how badly I was proven wrong by Jay today
I'm wondering what's the reasoning behind making some file types usable and others not.
I'm wondering what's the reasoning behind making some file types usable and others not.
I'll give you the clearest example: you made a PSD website template, publish it on TF and start working on converting it to HTML or Wordpress. In the meantime some freakin' fast coder buys your file on extended license, codes it and releases it before you.. You are screwed!
On the other hand GR backgrounds are permitted to be used in TF templates (via extended license) because you know… the background doesn't make the website template… And this is why people make backgrounds or icons – the best way to make money with such items is sell them to someone making templates on extended license

Acer PH530 Home Theater Projector Review
Acer PH530 Home Theater Projector: Skin Tones
As noted on the Overview, the out-of-the-box color performance of the PH530 is off, but is correctable. This will be covered in greater detail in the calibraton section on the General Performance page. All comments on the rest of this page, (unless otherwise specified), are based on performance after a grayscale adjustment.
Skin tones turned out to be rather good, especially for such a low cost projector. But if you don't make the necessary adjustments, you'll find skin tones to be too reddish, and you might spot a bit too much green in skin shadow areas, such as around the neck.
For your consideration, first, two images from Lord of the Rings, from a standard definition (SD-DVD) disk. The other images provided are all from hi-definition Blu-ray disk movies.
Time for the usual notice: The images in this review are here to help support the commentary, not the other way around. There is no practical way to show images that closely show the full capabilities of a good projector. No monitor on your desk can come close to the black levels of most home theater projectors, even my digital SLR camera comes up way short of being able to capture the full dynamic range of the projected image. Worse there's no color matching system, so that what I see on the screen in terms of accurate color, are going to look the same on your computer (or mine). So, take the images with a great many "grains of salt", and enjoy. They can be helpful in comparing projectors, but remember, all of them are inherently compromises.
Click to Enlarge. So close.
Should give you some idea of the skin tone handling abilities of the PH530. Overall, I found the 530's performance in this area to be very respectable.
Also for your consideration is one side by side comparison image with the Acer on the left, and BenQ's slightly more expensive W500, on the right.
If I had to say which one does the PH530 do better – shadow detail or black levels, I'd have to say black levels. Shadow detail truly wasn't bad, and much better than the BenQ W500 (as you will see immediately below).
Here's a closeup of the building above.
When it comes to both black levels and shadow detail, the PH530's performance, once again is respectable, but nothing special. In all fairness, though, since the PH530 is the least expensive 720p projector in the US, at least this month, that's not such a bad thing.
Black levels themselves are ok. They definitely could be better. My opinion is that both competing DLP projectors, the Optoma HD70, and the Mitsubishi HC1500, do a slightly better job. I'm not talking a difference that you would normally notice, if you saw the PH530 today, at a friend's house, and tomorrow, either of those at another friend's house, but the slight performance difference is there.
If I had to say which one does the PH530 do better – shadow detail or black levels, I'd have to say black levels. Shadow detail truly wasn't bad, and much better than the BenQ W500 (as you will see immediately below).
The second set is intentionally overexposed, which will show a bit more.

Anyone who has had a blog for a while will be aware of just how short our memories are. When the same old question comes back around again — there is a kind of blog cycle — it is rare for one of us to say, "Oh, I remember a great post about that two or three years ago." Blogs are ephemeral. Blog posts do not endure. Even if you keep a full archive of everything you have ever posted, the vast majority of your posts, the great bulk of activity, 99% of your output evaporates from consciousness. Here today, gone tomorrow.
via NT Blog.
I imagine that is going to be Dr. Goodacre's paper which he will present. Now, I don't want to get in a public disagreement with Dr. Goodacre, but he's plainly, and seriously wrong.
His podcasts are used in many seminaries and I've watched them change the opinions of students in several of my classes. Further, the blogs of Kurk Gayle, James McGrath, and a few others have so changed me that to call them ephemeral or somehow not enduring is near blasphemy. Because of several of the bloggers which I read, and I won't go into every blog and every blog post, I was able to escape a startling change of belief systems without becoming a militant atheist and the such. Further, several of them have enriched me theologically, spiritually, and intellectually. Dr. Goodacre's blog and a few others will survive long after he thinks that he has deleted his blog. So, I disagree with him here.
By the way – read the entire paper. Good advice.

Ralph Nader - Open Letter to Mark Duke, CEO of Walmart: Take the Lead on Raising Minimum Wage
Mike Duke, CEO
Walmart Corporation
Bentonville, Arkansas
Dear Mr. Duke,
Walmart, your gigantic company, is increasingly being challenged by your workers, government prosecutors, civil lawsuits, communities (that do not want a Walmart), taxpayers learning about your drain on government services and corporate welfare, and small businesses and groups working with unions such as SEIU and UFCW. Thus far, Walmart is successfully playing rope-a-dope, conceding little while expecting to wear down its opposition.
But you and your Board of Directors know what most shoppers and other people do not know namely that these pressures are only going to increase. There is one policy announcement by your company that can roll back many of these pressures and relieve adverse public relations.
Walmart has about one million workers, give or take, in the U.S. who are making less per hour, adjusted for inflation, than workers made in 1968. This is remarkable for another reason todays Walmart worker, due to automation and other efficiencies, does the work of two Walmart workers from 40 years ago. A federal minimum wage, inflation-adjusted from 1968, would be $10.50 today. The present federal minimum wage is $7.25 the lowest in major Western countries. In Western Europe and Ontario, where you have operations, you must currently adhere to minimum wages of $10.50 or more.
If you were to announce that Walmart is raising the wages of your one million laborers to $10.50, you would have a decisive impact on the momentum that is building this year for Congress to lift 30 million American workers to the level of workers in 1968, inflation adjusted. Imagine 30 million workers trying to pay their bills with wages below those of 1968, inflation adjusted, when, back then, overall worker productivity was half what it is today.
Raising your workers wages to a $10.50 minimum would cost your company less than $2 billion (deductible) on U.S. sales of more than $313 billion. Fewer Walmart workers would have to go on varieties of government relief. Some of that $2 billion would go to social security, and Medicare with more going back into purchases at Walmart. Employee turnover would diminish. If Walmart joins with many civic, charitable groups and unions to press Congress for legislation to catch up with 1968 for 30 million American workers, good things will happen. You and your fellow executives will feel better. Your public relations will improve. So will our economy.

Is it possible to apply proxy settings also to global settings for fetch (it could be optional setting). It could be FETCH_ENV* variables in make.conf or HTTP(FTP)_PROXY environment variables. It could be useful for ports. Also (if fetch utility is used for fetching pbi packages) good idea is to add "ftp passive mode" checkbox (FTP_PASSIVE_MODE="YES").

superior print and frame
By Karen
from Huntington, NY
Purchase Reason
This is one of many purchases from allposters.com. You can't beat the selection, quality or price. Doing it all online saves me time and gas money too. I can get exactly what I want as far as size and framing and it's fun to search for prints and then build a custom frame. A big advantage is you can sit in the room and get an exact feel for what would look best on the wall.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
