Rape, sex abuse claims against TV star multiplyEsther Addley, London
Published: October 11 2012 - 3:00AM
POLICE are pursuing 120 separate lines of inquiry involving alleged rape and sexual abuse by Sir Jimmy Savile stretching over a period of four decades and ''on a national scale'', Scotland Yard says.
Two formal criminal allegations of rape and six of indecent assault have been recorded so far against the late DJ and television presenter, who died last year, but police said they had received information relating to up to 25 potential victims, the majority of whom were girls aged 13 to 16 when the abuse is alleged to have occurred.
The earliest allegation dates from 1959, said Commander Peter Spindler, head of serious crime investigations at Scotland Yard, which is co-ordinating the inquiry. But the reports ''span four decades of abuse'', the majority relating to incidents in the 1970s and 1980s.
Five British police forces have received allegations about the TV star, he said.
Asked whether it was now possible to say definitively that Savile (below), who died in October 2011 aged 84, was a serial abuser of young females, Commander Spindler said: ''I think the facts speak for themselves around the number of women who have come forward and spoken about his behaviour [and] his predilection for teenage girls … It's a pattern of behaviour that is being presented to us.''
His remarks give the clearest indication to date of the scale of abuse Savile is now thought to have committed, following a torrent of allegations against him since it emerged 10 days ago that the BBC had dropped a Newsnight investigation into claims of abuse. The report, in which 10 women accused Savile of abusing them, was shelved in December last year, just before the BBC broadcast a Christmas tribute to him.
The BBC's director-general, George Entwistle, apologised on Monday to the abused women and said the corporation would hold an internal inquiry into its own conduct, amid growing reports of a culture in which sexual harassment was commonplace.
The former head of Jersey's child abuse investigation unit said this week that he believed Savile was involved in abuse at the Haut de la Garenne children's home, the subject of a three-year investigation into sexual abuse.
Savile, who raised millions of pounds for charities during his lifetime, had his own rooms at Stoke Mandeville Hospital and at Broadmoor secure psychiatric hospital, and stayed at both institutions frequently.
Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS [hospital] trust said in a statement: ''We are unaware of any record or reports of inappropriate behaviour of this nature during Sir Jimmy Savile's work with the trust.''
Peter Liver, director of the NSPCC, said the child protection charity had passed 24 reports of abuse to Scotland Yard, 17 of which related directly to Savile.
The charity called on other victims of abuse to seek counselling or support.
British Prime Minister David Cameron raised the prospect of Savile eventually being stripped of his knighthood, while acknowledging that under present rules it was not possible to do so.

Pedal-Powered Revelry with Santa Cruz Bike Party
On Friday, April 26, bicycle enthusiasts gathered at the Bike Church before departing on the Santa Cruz Bike Party, a mellow social ride accented with amplified music. Organizers say the event is "designed to build community, not to clash with car drivers, police, or residents."
[Photo: Partygoers gather at the Bike Church before taking off with the Santa Cruz Bike Party.]
Riders had a great time traversing through Seabright, the Harbor, Pleasure Point, Capitola Village, Live Oak, and downtown Santa Cruz. There were approximately 25 cyclists, including one person on a customized tall bike, and another being pulled on a longboard. Some people branched off early while others joined the party mid-route.
Riders, mostly helmeted, did their best to stay in the bike lane or right lane and did not ride on the sidewalk or against oncoming traffic.
Keep your eyes peeled, and one ear to the ground, for your invitation to the next Santa Cruz Bike Party.

Records: Merrimack (11-11, 7-10) | No. 1 Bentley University (22-0, 17-0)
Location: Dana Center | Waltham, Mass.
How It Happened
Merrimack was led by junior Chloe Rothman (Newton, Mass.) who came off the bench for the second time this season. Rothman finished the game 3-for-10 from the floor including 1-for-6 from three point range which was good for nine points while sophomore Lexi Sells (Attleboro, Mass.) racked up eight points, four rebounds and three assists. Junior Cassi Amenta (Lynn, Mass.) finished off her night with seven points and three rebounds in 17 minutes of action.
The key stat in the loss for the Warriors was the turnover battles as Merrimack committed 25 turnovers to the Falcons 15. Bentley took advantage of the turnovers they caused as they outscored the Warriors 32-15 in points off turnovers.
The Warriors held the lead for first two minutes of the first half as they took their biggest lead of the game, 2, after a layup from Ward. The Falcons fought back and took the lead over 22-14, with 9:20 to play in the first as Christiana Bakolas made the open layup.
The Falcons continued to build on their lead in the second part of the opening half as their lead opened to 14 on two free throws from Lauren Battista to make it 39-24 with a minute left to play in the first. But then, junior Allison Wagner (Center Conway, N.H.) answered back with the final baskets of the half to bring the score to 41-26. The Falcons finished the opening half shooting 50 percent from the floor while the Warriors finished shooting 32 percent and forced 11 Bentley turnovers.
Merrimack opened the second half with nice layup from Madison Ward (Binghamton, N.Y.) to cut the lead to 13 (41-28) but Jacqui Brugliera answered right back with a made layup in the lane to make the score 43-28 in favor of the home team. With that layup from Brugliera, Bentley then went on a 17-3 run to give them a 27 point lead with 13:42 remaining.
The Warriors tried picking away at the big deficit, but the closet the Warriors got in the second half was 36 down after two free throws from freshman Tia Scott (New York, N.Y.). The two teams went back and forth over the final seven minutes as the Falcons were able to stay undefeated, 22-0, with the 92-49 win at the Dana Center.
A Closer Look
- For the game, Merrimack shot 36.2 percent from the floor while the home team shot 54.5 percent.
- The bench battle was won by the Falcons as they outscore the Warriors 38-27 in the victory.
- Bentley won the rebounding battle at the Dana Center, 40-25, as well as over-powering the Warriors in the paint, 48-22.
- From behind the arc, Bentley went 8-for-20 (.400) while Merrimack went only 1-for-8 (.125).

Australians in 'terror training'
National Security Correspondent
Page Tools
ASIO believes at least 20 Australians have received or have been assisted in terrorist training overseas.
The intelligence agency's annual report reveals that it delivered adverse security assessments on the 20 Australians since September 11, 2001, six of them in the past year.
All were refused passports or had their documents cancelled.
A further 10 people, including two in 2003-04, had been refused entry into Australia because of involvement in terrorist activities
Justice Minister Chris Ellison told The Age that he and Foreign Minister Alexander Downer would visit five South-East Asian countries in February to negotiate agreements to enable Australian specialist counter-terrorism teams to operate with police forces there.
They will go to Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand.
Prime Minister John Howard announced during the election campaign that the new counter-terrorist teams would be created. Senator Ellison said these would include two new, 10-member "regional engagement" teams.
They would include investigators and intelligence and financial analysts working to prevent terrorists attacks and major crime. They would work closely with local police forces.
Providing back-up for those teams would be two more "surveillance" teams of eight federal agents based in Australia but able to travel if required.
They will be specialists in surveillance techniques able to help monitor phone calls and other communications.
Two more teams of nine criminal intelligence specialists and linguists would co-ordinate the efforts of Australian and regional police forces.
"Nothing is done without the full co-operation of the local government," Senator Ellison said. "I'm not talking about us going anywhere we're not invited.
"If we don't work with the region we will lose the fight against organised and transnational crime, just as we will against terrorism."
Recruiting had begun and language training for AFP personnel would begin in January.
Senator Ellison said Australia could provide expertise, training and resources. "In return we get assistance from them and intelligence."
A full-time regional bomb data centre would be set up in Jakarta, he said.
ASIO's annual report said the agency had used its new powers to question people suspected of terrorism offences three times since the ASIO Act amendments were passed in July 2003.
The flow of information to ASIO had increased fivefold since September 11, 2001, it said. The national security hotline, for example, had referred 13,381 calls to ASIO in the year ending June 30, 2004. Some form of investigation was carried out in relation to 2602 of them.
ASIO said that but for the co-operative work of the French authorities, ASIO, the federal police and the NSW police it was likely Frenchman Willie Brigitte and his associates would have carried out a terrorist attack in Australia. Brigitte is in custody in France after being deported.

Recipe by Sageca
This recipe is from Raising the Salad Bar, a book I recieved with the Cook Book Swap.For a luncheon or a buffet serve salad in "cups"of Boston lettuce leaves.

Gov. Mark Dayton signed a bill today to require community notification in certain cases where sex offenders are released to halfway houses.
Previously, the state was required to notify community members when a sex offender moves into a neighborhood. The bill expands the community notification requirement to cover halfway houses and residential facilities in instances where civilly committed sex offenders are released from the Minnesota Sex Offender Program.
The Senate vote was unanimous but several members questioned why Republicans in the House and Senate rushed to pass the bill.
A gap in the law was revealed at a recent House hearing when legislators were informed that Minnesota state law does not require community notification in instances where sex offenders are released from the Minnesota Sex Offender Program to a halfway house.
The bill comes soon after a court panel ordered the release of a convicted sex offender from a treatment program into a halfway house. Clarence Opheim has been granted provisional release, but officials have not yet said where he will go. Opheim has confessed to 100 criminal sexual acts committed against dozens of boys as young as 8. He completed a prison sentence for sexually assaulting a boy.
"We're talking about whether or not the members of the community should be notified that someone who is a sex offender is going to be transferred into their community," said Sen. Julianne Ortman, R-Chanhassen.
Sen. Ron Latz, DFL-St. Louis Park, voted for the bill but voiced concerns that legislators were passing the measure without fully discussing the issue in committee.
"This is rushed and although we have declared an urgency I think it's rushed for no obvious reason," Latz said. "No public member is going to be in any threat here."

My first thought was "Toyota suffered a loss in 1937?" But no; turns out that the automotive spinoff of Toyota Industries was founded in 1937. Impressive that they managed a profit in 1945 and 1946; apparently the surrender saved the major Toyota factories from bombing by a couple of days.
Sam Rockwell as Rod Blagojevich. I can see that working…
I think we can all agree that the progressive blogosphere has been pathetically remiss in the field of analysis of Brazilian military restructuring. Mr. Trend gets us off to a good start here:
However, I find Lula's efforts to actually enforce military conscription for everybody to be quite a fascinating aspect. Although the military is technically and legally supposed to conscript from all Brazilian sectors regardless of class, race, etc., the reality is Brazil's military ranks are composed overwhelmingly of the poor and marginalized who do not have recourse to get out of such service and who often accept it because they need the money. For decades and even generations (dating back to at least the Paraguayan War) there has been an unspoken understanding that elites and (more recently) the middle classes were "above" military service. So in one sense, any effort to break through this mold to prove that "mandatory conscription" applies to all Brazilian citizens, and not just those who don't have an economic/cultural/political way to avoide it.
What strikes me as interesting about the article is that the motivating concept seems to be territorial defense and consolidation, with defense of the Sao Paulo oil fields being included under that rubric. This is all well and good, and would be expected of a second rank power in, say, 1930 or 1960. Today, however, most military organizations in Europe and Asia seem to be remodeling themselves around an expeditionary mission. This is as true of North Europe as North Asia; the dreadnought of the day, so to speak, is the amphib, and modular, deployable ground units are the new black. This doesn't, however, seem to be the direction that the Brazilians are headed, which is curious for a country interested in promoting its benevolent image on the world stage. If you're looking for international prestige, amphibs are a much better way to go than nuclear submarines; they show the flag, facilitate participation in a variety of different multilateral operations, and are sometimes even actually useful for executing policy (disaster relief, protection of locals in dangerous situations, etc.).
But not, apparently, the direction Brazil wants to go.
Chapter VII of From Colony to Superpower covers the period between 1877 and 1893. Erik talks about missionaries, trade wars, and the generally expansionary US policy in the Pacific. I wish that Herring had dealt in more depth with the tremendous military gap between the United States and the European powers during this period. The United States had a larger population than any European state other than Russia in 1877, and experienced higher population and economic growth than anywhere in Europe between then and 1893. The US industrial base was competitive with that of the UK, and larger than any other European country. Yet US military power was comparatively miniscule. To give a sense of the gap, check this out (average 1877-1893, COW):
|Military Expenditure/Person
|% in Uniform
|$ 0.76
|$ 0.93
|$ 0.40
|$ 1.02
|$ 0.43
|United States
|$ 0.22
That's a pretty substantial gap, especially given that US GDP, total population, and steel production were all at or near the top of the list during this period. Some of this can be explained by the geographic situation of the United States; France needed more troops because it was next to Germany, for example. This only takes us so far; territorial threat can't explain why the US retained huge standing military forces post-1945, and in any case the US was certainly developing global interests during this period. Rather, I think there was simply a different understanding of the utility of military force in Europe than in the United States. It would be wrong to say that the US was a pacifist country (as witnessed by the ongoing conquest of the West), but Americans certainly don't seem to have seen the point of large standing military establishments. To put it another way, the US was economically and demographically capable, even at this early date, of competing for hegemony with Britain and Germany. Americans chose not to. The US didn't even build a world class Navy, as it would during the 1920s and 1930s.
Apart from the post-war experiences of Germany and Japan (which are obviously dependent on much different factors) I'm not sure there's another example of a potential hegemon that simply chose not to compete. There are various unsatisfactory explanations for this (Fareed Zakaria's terrible book comes to mind) but Herring, unfortunately, does not venture much of an effort. In part, this may be because the book's central thesis is that the United States has never been an isolationist power; this argument is certainly correct to some extent, but there has to be some explanation for the tiny US military profile in the late nineteenth century.
Anybody read T.E. Lawrence's Seven Pillars of Wisdom? I haven't, but I'm assigning it next term; if you have any thoughts re: boiling down the 700 or so pages down to a digestible chunk for a graduate strategy course, leave them in comments…
…recommendations on editions will also be entertained.
Erik writes a bit more about the utility of including the Civil War among the 19th century wars of national unification:
Herring argues that the Civil War was part of the nation-building conflicts around the world during the mid-19th century. It's an interesting idea, though I'm not sure that I agree exactly. Had the North actively tried to limit slavery during the 1840s and 1850s, I think this would be a stronger argument. But the South wasn't responding to increasingly northern pressure on their peculiar institution. Rather, the North caved on nearly every issue in the 1850s and yet the South still wasn't satisfied.
However, the result of the Civil War was a much stronger and more centralized United States. Increased control over the west, a more centralized currency system, and a much greater industrial capacity all resulted from the war, and the United States certainly left the war much stronger than it began it. The late nineteenth century is a story of amazing growth in the nation. While this is a story mostly for next week's discussion of the Gilded Age, there's no question that the Civil War spurred this amazing period.
I think that this is right. I'm reluctant to concede American exceptionalism, but while the outcome of the Civil War bears some resemblance to the other wars of unification, its cause really didn't stem from differences of opinion about the strength of central institutions. The South was happy to strengthen the central government, when it believed that a more powerful center was to its advantage. Also, while geographic differences were more pronounced then than today, similarity in language, culture, and institutions was greater in the case of the United States than in Italy or Germany.
Paul goes into a bit more depth on the inadequacy of Confederate diplomacy:
The most striking part of this, for me, is the sketch of the boorish incompetence of the Confederate diplomatic mission. Granted they had a difficult mission (it was an offense to the United States for responsible ministers even to talk to Confederate emissaries), but their greatest success was not even of their doing: Capt. Wilkes, USN, took two of them off the British steamer Trent without any of the appropriate formalities; the British dusted off the American objections to this sort of high-handedness from the War of 1812, and the resulting quarrel might actually have led to British recognition of the Confederacy.
But when Mason was released, and got to Britain, his speeches in favor of slavery and his bad aim with tobacco juice got him nowhere; Slidell did not understand how the French Government operated, or what the ministers wanted; the Confederate emissary to Saint Petersburgh never got there; and the star of the show, John Pickett of Kentucky, sent to Juarez in Mexico, managed to get arrested for brawling on the streets of Mexico City, offended and insulted the Mexican ministers, and eventually had Juarez intercepting his messages home and passing them on to Washington.
Herring describes this as provincialism and extreme cultural insensitivity…
Herring notes, but doesn't really develop, the idea that because the professional diplomatic corps was tiny, the real diplomatic expertise lay in the backbench of the national political parties. The US had no ambassadors, and chief representatives were invariably political appointees, meaning that most foreign diplomatic representation revolved as the Presidency changed hands between parties. The Republicans largely inherited the Whig diplomatic corps, but apparently the Democratic corps was concentrated among Northern Democrats, who largely remained loyal to the Union. Thus, the Confederacy was forced to learn diplomacy very quickly, and the technological limitations of the time (slow communications, no wikipedia) made getting up to speed very difficult. Thus, I'm willing to excuse just a bit of the Confederate provincialism, although Paul also notes that Cassius Clay had little diplomatic experience but performed fabulously in Russia.
Tomorrow to chapter seven…
Shorter Weekly Standard: If American journalism wants to restore its reputation, the only acceptable form covering Dick Cheney is the
fellatio cool objectivity of Stephen Hayes.
Almost any part of this review could be a "verbatim," but I think this was my favorite passage:
There is the cherry-picking of evidence. Much is made, for example, of an Australian intelligence report debunking the purchase by Saddam Hussein's Iraq of electronic maps of the United States and of the doubts regarding aluminum tubing suspected of being useful in making centrifuges for a nuclear bomb. Angler reflects almost none of the fairly consistent foreign intelligence agreement that Saddam had, or was close to having, weapons of mass destruction.
Yes, clearly the fact that Hussein might have been "close to having" some "weapons of mass destruction" that posed no threat whatsoever to American civilians provides evidence that he was close to having nuclear weapons, and debunking straightforward lies made by administration officials is "cherry picking evidence." Now that's journamalism that I can get behind.
The Iranians have joined the anti-piracy brigade:
Iranian state radio says Iran has sent a warship to the coast of Somalia to protect its cargo ships against piracy.
The Saturday report says the ship arrived in Somali waters.
The Iranian ship would join vessels from the U.S., Denmark, Italy, Russia and other countries in patrolling the Gulf of Aden, which leads to the Suez Canal and is the quickest route from Asia to Europe and the Americas.

Sorry for the late reminder…
The coup that was probably a purge now turns out maybe to have been a failed purge:
Iraq's interior minister said all 24 of his officers who had been arrested in a security crackdown this week would be released. And in a bold gesture of defiance, he publicly condemned his own government's investigation, calling the accusations false and motivated purely by politics.
The minister, Jawad al-Bolani, in a series of interviews and at a news conference on Friday, insisted on the innocence of the officials detained on charges of aiding terrorism and having inappropriate ties with political parties, including Al Awda, an illegal party that is a descendant of Saddam Hussein's Baath Party.
"It's because of the competition of the provincial elections," Mr. Bolani, who arrived in the country on Friday after a week away, said of the arrests in an interview. "It's just electoral propaganda, and that's playing with fire."
Regarding my earlier backhanded praise of Maliki's authoritarian instincts, it doesn't bode well for him that either a)the coup plotters, or b)the purge victims are now on the street with the apparent full support of the Interior Minister.

Ask Matt: Is Yahoo cutting jobs good news for investors?
Q: Is the fact Yahoois laying off employees good or bad news for investors?
Sponsored Links
A: Companies undergoing radical shifts to their business models often resort to cutting costs. And unfortunately for many workers, payrolls are one cost companies quickly look to slash.
Both Sony and Yahoo, facing serious competitive threats, announced dramatic restructurings in April. In the case of Yahoo, accompanying job cuts are part of the changes. Yahoo announced 2,000 job cuts as the company continues to struggle to find ways to profit in the fragmented online media world increasingly dominated by companies like Google (GOOG) and Facebook.
Sony (SNE) in April announced plans to restructure as it struggles to compete with Apple's (AAPL) lock on music devices and music downloads.
Job cuts are generally considered to be ways for companies to reduce their costs. Yahoo's cuts account for 14% of the Internet information site's headcount. Yahoo CEO Scott Thompson is hoping to move the company more in the direction of collecting information on its visitors, data that can be mined and used to sell advertising. Yahoo is also hoping to be more aggressive in the mobile information market, currently dominated by Apple and Google.
How have investors reacted to the news? Yahoo made the announcement of its restructuring and accompanying job cuts on April 4. Yahoo's stock closed at $15.18 on April 3, the day before the announcement. The initial reaction was ho-hum, as shares of Yahoo closed up 0.6% that day. After first-quarter earnings showing some progress were released on April 17, the stock is up to $15.60 a share.
Investors are more concerned with the bottom line than headcount. Investors don't really care how CEOs get the job done, just that it gets done. In today's environment, investors are looking either for companies that can grow profitability, or, pay a steady dividend. Currently, Yahoo is in the middle ground, struggling to find profitable growth but not in the position to be a steady dividend payer, either (Yahoo doesn't pay a dividend).

A four-game series with the Dodgers and Pirates got chippy as it winded down.
First, Dodgers center fielder Matt Kemp got tossed for arguing from the dugout -- during Andre Ethier's at-bat. Kemp -- apparently still brewing over striking out on four pitches in the first inning -- didn't stop there, running out onto the field to make sure home plate umpire Angel Campos got an earful.
Kemp probably is looking at a suspension since he bumped the ump. Kemp was followed almost immediately out the door by manager Don Mattingly. Both said after the game Kemp was cheering for Ethier.
Next, Joe Blanton, who is still settling into his new role after being traded from the Phillies on Aug. 3, celebrated with a hissy fit on the mound.
BOX SCORE: Pirates 10, Dodgers 6
Blanton, in his third start with his new team, gave up eight runs -- all earned -- on seven hits, including three homers. He made it 4 1/3 innings before being yanked after three coaching visits to the mound. Then he threw a fit as he walked off the field, walking toward home plate and yelling at Campos while teammates restrained him. That earned him a pass.
Not to be outdone, Pirates starter A.J. Burnett struck out Hanley Ramirez to retire the side in the sixth and had some choice words, according to this tweet from Buster Olney:
''A.J. Burnett strikes out Hanley, then screams at him, "Sit the ---- down." Hanley gets fined by the umpire after throwing his bat.''
Apparently, this was a little retaliation for Ramirez's gesture toward Burnett as he rounded second base after homering off him in the fourth. Burnett was in the hole 3-0 before retiring the shortstop. Replays show Campos instructing Ramirez to pick up his bat, but a bat boy retrieves it while Campos and Ramirez jaw.
After the game, Kemp said he was told by Campos that he'd heard enough on the balls and strikes, so Kemp simply yelled: ''Let's go 'dre.''
''It's unacceptable," said Kemp, who was tossed for the fifth time in his seven-year career. "I'm a pretty emotional guy. That's the first time getting kicked out for cheering on my teammate."
Mattingly, who said he heard every word of the exchange, concurred.
"This needs to go above me," Mattingly said. "I'm sure Matty will get fined. And I'll get fined. ... He was just cheering his teammate. That's ridiculous."
As for Blanton, Mattingly indicated he was upset with the balls and strikes zone from the start.
Maybe the Dodgers are feeling a little inspired in their chase for the NL West crown with the news the archrival San Francisco Giants have lost Melky Cabrera to a 50-game drug suspension. Perhaps their energy could be better spent focused on winning games.
The Pirates defeated the Dodgers for the first time this season, 10-6.

"Firstly, the location of the apartment is excellent. A really good quiet, safe neighbourhood, with plenty of shopping in the area, only a few doors from the Seine, and short walk to Notre Dame. . The Marais area is an excellent part of Paris. Close to Metro etc. Well that is the only good thing about Petit Bourbon, the place is very dirty, and needs a really thorough clean. A place can be old but still be clean, which this apartment is not. It needs a big makeover. The shower screen is all in disrepair, and rusty. we arrived and assembled the large Sofa Bed to make up with sheets etc, there were sheets already on the bed that were all crumpled and dirty, obviously had been slept in already. Then to my horror on the side of the bed there was an empty Ansell Condom packet. How disgusting. I didn't tell my travelling companion , as she would have insisted leaving immediately. I feel the apartment seriously needs some maintenance. It is a shame because as I said the position is fantastic. However because of the condition of the place, I would not recommend it to others. There are a lot of studio apartments in that immediate area, and plenty currently being renovated, so there are plenty to choose from. Gabriel "
"The location was wonderful , the local shops are excellent and we are good with the Waytostay organisation. Gregorie met us and showed us around on arrival. However, unfortunately we needed to purchase pillows( commented on by a previous traveller), basic kitchen and bathroom supplies (only a used soap bar). The sofa bed is comfortable but lacked pillows and a doona cover, the shower floods the bathroom and the floor had fluff and dirt on it on arrival. "
"If you want to move by the Center, the situation is magnificent."
"Si te quieres mover por el centro, la situación es mágnifica."
"Small apartment, but with everything you need to spend a few days without any problems. The best location and quiet."
"Apartamento pequeño, pero con todo lo necesario para pasar unos días sin problemas. Lo mejor la ubicación y la tranquilidad."
"We stayed in this apartment 4 years ago and returned recently, mainly because it is well-situated on the Ile St. Louis, just behind Notre Dame and 50m from the Seine. Though not flash, the apartment serves its purpose, with a very comfortable divan bed and functional kitchen. The bathroom could do with some attention, with a little better cleaning. And although the bed is fine, some new pillows would be nice - the current pillows are old and lumpy. And a dustpan and brush wouldn't go astray!"
"Great apartment! Ile St Louis is gorgeous. Manager was very friendly and helpful. Apartment is small but has everything you need. Location is perfect, it's the heart of the city, not far from the RER station (easy to get from airport), close to all sights. Thank you!"
"Great apartment! Ile St Louis is gorgeous. Manager was very friendly and helpful. Apartment is small but has everything you need. Location is perfect, it the heart of city, not far from RER station (easy to get from airport), close to all sights. Thank you!"
"Apartment manager was very friendly and accommodating - met us at the apartment upon arrival. We were late due to some technical difficulties with the train, but it was no fuss at all! Amazing location, everything so close and convenient! "
"We love Ile St Louis so the apartment's location is just right for our taste and needs; it has good facilities. We have stayed there before and had no hesitation in booking again but are concerned that some of its furnishing are past their best and feel less than clean. That may deter us from using it again. "

"Great location in a quiet area. Everything was as it should. There you aren't a tourist, but you can feel as the Frenchman. Within easy reach are excellent bakeries, shops and restaurants.Great starting point. We will be back. We recommended. "

No one could accuse British musical theatre of lacking variety. Opening in the same week as X Factor behemoth I Can't Sing! comes this intense and accomplished take on Emile Zola's tightly wound 1867 novel of adultery and damnation in Paris.
In the Finborough's tiny space the show — with stylish book, lyrics and direction by Nona Shepphard and music by Craig Adams — makes a virtue of its constrictions. A cast of 12 are efficiently cramped on to a set suggesting the fusty haberdashery shop where Thérèse (Julie Atherton) works with her controlling aunt-cum-mother-in-law Madame (Tara Hugo). In the gloaming, they await the arrival home from work of Camille (Jeremy Legat), a sickly child who has somehow become a man. No wonder the arrival into the weekly Thursday domino game of Laurent (Ben Lewis), with a big voice and even bigger personality, causes such a stirring in Thérèse's entombed heart. The first sound we hear from her, after more than half an hour's muteness, is an anguished cry of ecstasy as Laurent wraps her in his arms.
The songs are striking and memorable, even on first hearing and with a lone piano for accompaniment. The opening number Sang et Nerfs (Blood and Nerves) confidently plays with Zola's theme of his characters as "human animals". There are some haunting refrains too from three River Women, who twine themselves sinuously — and ominously — around the set, as aware of impending tragedy as a Greek chorus. Unlike the central characters, there's surely further life in this.

This month marks the one-year anniversary of the old and rare books silent auction sponsored by the Friends of the A.K. Smiley Public Library. Every two weeks, books selected by the Friends' antiquarian team are placed up for bids.
Among the most sought-after books have been first editions and children's books. The old and rare books auction running through 1 p.m. Aug. 27 features both of these categories.
The books up for bids are "That Printer of Udell's" by Harold Bell Wright, "Tales of the Angler's Eldorado, New Zealand" by Zane Grey, "The Novels of Charles Reade" by Charles Reade and "Lulu, Alice and Jimmy Wibblewobble" by Howard R. Garis.
"That Printer of Udell's" was the first novel by best-selling American author Harold Bell Wright (1872-1944). Newspapers of his day claimed that Wright was the first person to become a millionaire by writing novels.
In 1902, while serving as pastor of a church in Pittsburg, Kan., Wright wrote this melodramatic story. He intended to read it to his congregation one chapter per week at Sunday night meetings. Before he did so, the story was published in serial form in the church magazine. His parishioners liked the story so much that they encouraged him to publish it in book form. Thus began the writing career of America's best-selling author of the first half of the 20th century.
In 1907, Wright became pastor of Redlands Christian Church and lived here for about two years.
The condition of the book is good. The pages are clear and clean. The binding is tight. It has sepia lithographs. Published in 1903, it is a putative first edition. The dealer value is $65 to $75, and the minimum bid is $30.
Another first edition up for bids is "Tales of the Angler's Eldorado, New Zealand," published in 1926 and written by Zane Grey (1872-1962). From the pen of one of America's most prolific authors comes this out-of-the–ordinary book recounting his fishing adventures and experiences in New Zealand. The book contains more than 100 illustrations from photographs by Grey and drawings by Frank Phares. Lovers of Zane Grey will find this book an interesting variation from his novels of the American frontier, as he uses his storytelling talent to describe New Zealand and the joy of outdoor life there.
The dealer's value is $80 to $573. The condition of the book is fair-good. The book is bound in blue cloth embossed in gold. The pages are clear and clean. The binding is tight. It is an ex-library volume. The minimum bid is $40.
"The Novels of Charles Reade" is a five-volume set published as a special edition in 1895. Only 1,000 sets were printed. Charles Reade (1814-1894) was one of England's most popular novelists of the 19th century. He was concerned with social issues, and he made his stories come alive for the reader. The novels in this set are: "It is Never too Late to Mend" (1856), "Hard Cash" (1863), "Foul Play" (1869), "Peg Wolfington" 1852) and "The Wandering Hell" (1873).
The set is in fair condition. It has marble paper boards and half-calf binding. While the pages are clear with little or no yellowing or foxing and the bindings are tight, the leather spines of two of the volumes are compromised by drying out. On the other three volumes the leather spine is intact, but worn. The dealer value for the five volumes is $100 to $140, and the minimum bid is $35.
The auction also includes the children's book "Lulu, Alice and Jimmy Wibblewobble," published in 1912 and written by Howard R. Garis (1873-1962). The book features 22 stories about a family of ducks who lived in a duck pen. The stories are charming and the plots are engaging and timeless. The author, who also created Uncle Wiggly Longears, was one of the most famous children's authors of his time. The dealer value is $34 to $45. The condition of the book is good. It has a brown cloth binding with clean, tight pages. There is a color lithograph on the front cover. The minimum bid is $12.
Bid sheets and descriptions are in the silent auction area on the main floor of the A.K. Smiley Public Library, 125 W. Vine St., Redlands. The books may be viewed in the Friends of the Library bookstore on the lower level of the library.
All sales help to support the A.K. Smiley Public Library.

Should a church group feeding the homeless at a city park be charged a fee? How about a soccer club using a city park for practice? Should some groups be charged, while others receive a discount?
These were among the questions discussed by the Lodi City Council on Tuesday as they explored the idea of imposing fees for certain group activities in parks.


text: Hi, i have a three-hosts setup: hostA acts as jobsubmitter, hostB acts as server (torque via ws-gram/globus) and hostC acts as compute node, that should exucte all jobs. I have not setup rsh at the moment, because i dont understand, which of that computers must have rsh-access to the other ones. My thoughts: hostA does not need any rsh-configuration, because stageIN/Out is done with GridFTP. hostB does need rsh-access to hostC to stage files in, hostC does need rsh-access to hostB to stage files out. Is that right? Is it somehow possible to omit hostB to avoid high traffic on hostB due to large file staging? Maybe in a way that data is directly transfered between hostA and hostC, and hostB only transfers references? Thanks a lot, Julian

|[DISCUSS] draft Incubator graduation request
|Sun, 06 May 2007 22:58:32 GMT
Hi, The following is a draft request for the Incubator PMC to graduate OpenJPA to TLP status. The request will be in the form of a VOTE to recommend the board resolution (minor tweaks are being discussed in a parallel thread). Please review and comment. I'll incorporate comments as I receive them, but expect to send the request to the Incubator a few days after getting the last comment, to be sure everyone can comment on the comments. The earliest would be Wednesday 9-May-2007. Craig Dear Incubator, The OpenJPA podling respectfully requests the Incubator to consider its graduation to a Top Level Project. Please vote on recommending the attached draft board resolution. [ ] +1 Recommend to the board to establish Apache OpenJPA [ ] -1 Do not recommend establishing Apache OpenJPA because... Over the past several months the OpenJPA community has grown from a single large donation to a diverse community of contributors and users. OpenJPA meets the technical requirements for diversity, with committers from three and PPMC members from four independent organizations. Committers from other Apache projects have not only used the incubating releases as dependencies in their projects but provided patches to OpenJPA as well. The OpenJPA community prepared and voted out two releases performed by different release managers. The community readily agreed on the bike-shed issues of code formatting and indentation, and there has been no resurrection of these issues. The community had issues with commit-then-review versus review-then-commit and resolved them win-win. Most recently, a public issue regarding the proposed charter of the TLP was resolved. During the process of incubation, the PPMC learned how to govern itself, voting in new committers and PPMC members. Mentors offered invaluable advice and assistance in getting the project set up and organized. The status file for OpenJPA can be found at: http://svn.apache.org/ repos/asf/incubator/openjpa/STATUS The incubator checklist web page for OpenJPA can be found at: http:// incubator.apache.org/projects/openjpa.html Craig Russell DB PMC, OpenJPA PPMC email@example.com http://db.apache.org/jdo

Head of UN Mission: Only Syrians Can Achieve Peace (INN) ISRAEL NATIONAL NEWS) By Elad Benari 04/30/12)
Source: http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/155269
INN} ISRAEL NATIONAL NEWS Articles-Index-Top
The head of the UN observer mission to Syria warned on Sunday that even 1,000 unarmed observers could not end the violence in the country on their own.
Arriving in Damascus, Maj. Gen. Robert Mood urged all sides to cease fighting and said peace must be a joint effort, according to a BBC report.
Mood will be followed by another 30 observers in the coming days, doubling the size of the mission. The UN has approved up to 300 observers.
Ten unarmed observers, 30 unarmed observers, 300 unarmed observers, even a thousand unarmed observers cannot solve all the problems, Mood was quoted by the BBC as having told reporters as he arrived at Damascus airport.
To achieve the success of Kofi Annan´s six-point plan, I call on all to stop the violence and to help us on a continued cessation of armed violence in all its forms, he added.
The so-called truce that allegedly began April 12, as part of Annans plan, has been largely ignored by both sides. The government, which was to withdraw its military hardware and forces from residential neighborhoods and other populated areas, has done neither. The rebels have likewise continued their ambushes on government forces.
Nearly 10,000 civilians have died in the uprising that began in March 2011, according to human rights organizations and some estimates by the UN.
The violence continued on Sunday, the BBC reported, with activists saying that at least 25 people were killed across the country. The activists said that at least 500 people have died since the ceasefire began.
They added that shelling continued in several provinces, and that two people were killed by snipers in the city of Homs. Violence in Homs, a hotspot in the uprising against President Bashar Assad, has fallen after two UN observers were permanently stationed there two weeks ago.
Mood said, according to the BBC report, that the ceasefire could only work with the support of the forces on the ground.
It´s absolutely necessary to understand that this a joint effort, he said. The most important element is the Syrians themselves, the rights, the aspirations of the Syrian people. Then we have the observers on the ground - unarmed, representing the will of the international community, the will of the UN to be there with them. Then you have the political element between states in the region, and we have the diplomatic level on top.
To reach a positive way forward, and we have that choice, all these elements have to play together.
On Friday, Syria´s exiled Muslim Brotherhood urged UN Secretary- General Ban Ki-moon to acknowledge that Damascus had failed to honor Annans peace plan and to suspend its UN membership until a transitional government representing the Syrian people is formed.
We ask Ban Ki-moon to announce that Assad´s government has failed to honor the peace plan and to declare the plan finished... at a time when dozens of innocent people are dying, the group said in a statement issued in Britain.
On Thursday, Ban demanded that the Syrian government immediately comply with its commitment to withdraw troops and heavy weapons from cities and towns.
Also on Thursday, Turkish and French officials said they were mulling a potential military intervention in Syria if the violence continues. (IsraelNationalNews © 2012 04/30/12)

QM2 - Cruise first timers: Queen Mary 2 (QM2) Cruise Review by PVPF
Overall Member Rating
QM2 - Cruise first timers
Destination: Transatlantic
Embarkation: New York (Manhattan)
After much research we decided on the East-Bound Trans-Atlantic crossing, main reasons...found a very good fly/stay/cruise package at a great price. Also the Atlantic one place guaranteed not to get a Blackberry signal...so the bliss of complete relaxation.
We did approach the trip with some trepidation, because of the formal aspect but in some ways this made the trip somewhat special the chance to dress up and not look out of place.
One thing we did do was to use the White Star Service and sent all our formal attire so that it was awaiting us in our cabin when we boarded, this meant we had to drag very little with us on the flights over. Yes quite expensive but well worth the cost.
Embarkation in Brooklyn was very efficient as expected and from arrival at the terminal to cabin took about 30 mins total.
The cabin was on deck 6 and had a More good sea view. The cabin was roomy and well enough appointed to cater for the two of us. A half bottle of sparkling wine gratis to welcome us. There was plenty of room for all storage.
Our Cabin Steward Greg was superb, he was attentive, nothing too much trouble and un-obtrusive.
At all times we found all staff extremely polite.
QM2...we found exceeded our expectations and is appointed to 5 * standard in all areas.
Food was to a high standard and to be truthful better than we were expecting. We took late sitting in the Britannia Restaurant, and found that at no times were we rushed, and still had plenty of time to attend the myriad of entertainment provided.
Staff in the restaurant were again superb,Richard our waiter for the duration was outstanding.
In general, we found plenty to do during the 6 day crossing, Planetarium, Cinema,show, performance from the Boston Symphony Orchestra Chamber Quartet.
In fact you could do as much or as little as you want.
Music venues and choices diverse, Disco, Big Band, Jazz, super Caribbean Band "Vybes" you requested it the played it.
Bars plenty of choice.
We didn't find the formality a problem, 2 informal nights (Jacket no tie) 3 formal night (Black Tie) 1 semi formal (Jacket + tie) in fact it was nice to dress up.
All in all a wonderful experience, we are already discussing repeating this trip in 2009, hopefully friends will accompany us...and I can see why people become Cunard "Junkies" Less

Tawang, India (AFP) Nov 9, 2009
The Dalai Lama held a mass audience with tens of thousands of devotees Monday on a "non-political" visit to a region near India's border with Tibet that has drawn strong protests from China.
More than 30,000 people, many of whom arrived days in advance, packed into an open-air polo ground near the remote Tawang monastery in the northeast Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh to hear the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader.
"Compassion and peace are the two words that should be remembered by all," the Dalai Lama said at the opening of three days of religious teaching.
He told local ethnic Tibetans that they were responsible for "spreading and promoting Tibetan Buddhism for future generations to come".
China, which claims Arunachal as its own territory, has condemned the week-long visit and accused the Dalai Lama of seeking to stir up tensions between New Delhi and Beijing.
On his arrival at Tawang on Sunday, the Dalai Lama dismissed China's complaints and rejected charges that he actively promotes anti-China unrest in his homeland.
"My visit to Tawang is non-political," the 74-year-old Nobel laureate told reporters, describing Beijing's accusations that he was campaigning for Tibet to split from China as "totally baseless".
His comments were splashed on the front pages of the Indian press and Arunachal state officials on Monday informally requested journalists to refrain from asking him questions for the remainder of the visit.
The Indian government had already barred foreign journalists from covering the Dalai Lama's tour, which has generated widespread excitement among the region's population.
"He is our God, he is the living Buddha. A glimpse of the Dalai Lama is like getting spiritual power inside you," said Sherba Lama, a monk who walked from a village close to the border with China to attend Monday's prayer meeting.
Tawang -- 400 years old and the second largest Tibetan monastery in India -- holds vivid memories for the Dalai Lama.
When he fled Tibet in fear of his life following a failed uprising against Chinese rule, he first took refuge in Tawang after crossing the border.
"There are a lot of emotions involved," he said on Sunday, referring to the journey that led to his 50 years of exile in India. "When I escaped from China in 1959, I was mentally and physically very weak."
It was not the Dalai Lama's first return visit to Tawang but the timing has caused Beijing to protest in robust fashion.
Indo-Chinese tensions over their disputed Himalayan border -- the trigger for a brief but bloody war in 1962 -- have risen in recent months, with reports of troop movements and minor incursions on both sides.
Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh toured the state last month during an election campaign, prompting warnings from Beijing about harming bilateral ties.
The presence in the disputed region of the Dalai Lama, whom China regards as a renegade Tibetan separatist, is seen as a double insult.
China had accused the Dalai Lama and his exiled "clique" of helping to organise anti-China protests that erupted in the Tibetan capital Lhasa in March last year and spread across the Tibetan plateau.
Before he began his religious teaching on Monday, the Dalai Lama opened a multi-speciality hospital in Tawang to which he had contributed two million rupees (40,000 dollars).
"The hospital will go a long way to meeting the health care needs of the local people," he said.
Thousands of Buddhists turned out Sunday to welcome the Dalai Lama on his arrival at Tawang monastery, perched in the Himalayan foothills at 3,500 metres (11,400 feet).
The ecstatic welcome he has received here is likely to deepen China's suspicions over the true motive behind the visit.
The Dalai Lama has had several recent health scares, fuelling speculation over his reincarnation and successor.
China is almost sure to make its own selection. The Dalai Lama, however, has stated that his reincarnation may be found outside Chinese Tibet, and Arunachal, with its rich Tibetan culture, is an obvious contender.

text: Only if Vass sell a lot to Sweden, if I have understood the rules correctly. Mail order and distance purchasing Goods The rules applicable to mail order and distance purchasing are identical whether goods are ordered by telephone, from a catalogue or via the internet. The general rule for supplies of goods to private individuals in the single market is the "origin" principle. This means that private individuals pay VAT in the Member State of purchase, and do not have additional VAT to pay on return to their own Member State. However, for "distance selling" (where the supplier and the customer are located in different Member States, and the goods are dispatched to the customer), there are a number of different possibilities, all related to the level of trade of the supplier, which determines whether the "origin" or "destination" principles apply. The general rule is that it is the VAT rate of the supplier which applies ("origin" principle). However, if the level of sales in any one Member State exceed a certain threshold (either €35.000 or €100.000 depending on the Member State)or if the supplier opts, then he must register for VAT and charge VAT at the rate applicable in that Member State ("destination" principle). This means that distance sellers must charge the VAT rate applicable in the Member State of the customer where the supplies to all customers in that Member State exceed the relevant threshold. Goods supplied from outside the European Union are subject to VAT on importation.

Warin Food Market, Ubon Ratchathani
Warin food market is one of my favourite places to visit in Ubon Ratchathani. The market vendors are really friendly, and it's a great place to go snapping photographs. I never see it on any list of things to do in Ubon, but if you visit around 5pm, the light is beautiful and makes for a nice change of scenery.
I also recorded an episode of Coconut TV at the market, with a lady who sells Coconut milk.
Hey, like this post? Why not share it with a buddy?Tweet
