Beirut (AFP) Dec 24, 2012
Warplanes carried out several strikes on Monday on rebel-held areas in the Eastern Ghouta area near Damascus, where fresh clashes pitting insurgents and troops erupted, said a monitoring group.
The area east of Damascus is home to some of the rebel Free Syrian Army's fiercest and best organised groups. Several towns in Eastern Ghouta have become key flashpoints in Syria's conflict, as the violence draws ever nearer to the capital.
Analysts say the regime of President Bashar al-Assad is trying to secure an eight-kilometre (five-mile) radius around the capital so it can be in a position to negotiate a solution to the nearly two-year conflict.
In Damascus, violent battles raged on Sunday night in the northeastern district of Qaboon and on the road separating the southern Palestinian camp of Yarmuk from neighbouring Al-Hajar Al-Aswad, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
Violent clashes broke out in Yarmuk last week. A tense calm returned on Thursday.
The Observatory also reported fierce army shelling on the central province of Hama, scene of a massacre of some 60 people on Sunday at the entrance to a bakery in the rebel-held town of Halfaya, according to the Observatory.
Shelling was also reported in the central province of Homs and Daraa in the south.
Monday's violence came a day after at least 198 people were killed across Syria, just as international peace envoy Lakhdar Brahimi arrived in Syria to launch a new bid to resolve the spiralling war.
More than 44,000 people have been killed in violence across Syria since the outbreak of an anti-regime revolt in March last year. The revolt morphed into an insurgency after the regime launched a brutal repression campaign to try and suppress dissent.
Syria town attacked by 'terrorists': state media
The opposition Syrian National Coalition meanwhile blamed the "criminal regime" of President Bashar al-Assad for committing what it described as a "crime against humanity" in the town.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said more than 60 people were killed and at least 50 wounded in the town on Sunday, accusing aerial forces of bombing a local bakery.
SANA, the official news agency, however gave a vastly different account, citing residents of the town located in the central province of Hama.
"An armed terrorist group attacked the town of Halfaya committing crimes against the population, killing many women and children," it said.
The report added that the Syrian army intervened during the assault and "killed and wounded many terrorists", a term officials and state media use to refer to rebels fighting to oust the Damascus regime.
"Terrorists then shot video images to accuse the Syrian army when the international envoy Lakhdar Brahimi arrived in Syria," the agency said.
Video footage posted online by activists showed a bombed one-storey block and a crater in the road.
Bloodied bodies lay on the road, while others could be seen in the rubble. Men carried victims out on their backs, among them at least one woman. The video could not immediately be verified.
The opposition National Coalition, which is recognised by dozens of countries and organisations as the legitimate representative of the Syrian people, blamed Assad's regime for the "massacre" in Halfaya, saying it "targeted children, women and men who went out to get their scarce daily bread ration."
"The Syrian Coalition is taking action on several tracks considering all possible measures to prosecute those criminals who were involved in the Halfaya massacre on December 23, 2012 and bring them to justice," it said in a statement.
The Syrian National Council -- a key opposition group -- meanwhile blamed the international community for "being responsible for this massacre... by not supporting the Syrian people."
During the summer, rights groups accused government forces of committing war crimes by dropping bombs and using artillery on or near several bakeries in the northern province of Aleppo.
International peace envoy Lakhdar Brahimi met Assad on Monday, a day after arriving in Syria to launch a fresh bid to resolve the brutal 21-month conflict that has already killed more than 44,000 people.

A SCHOOL swimming pool will be saved – thanks to dozens of volunteers coming forward to offer their help.
As previously reported in The Gazette, Lordsfield Swimming Pool, at Overton Primary School, was under threat of closure because of changes to the way it was funded and new safety regulations.
A public meeting was held to generate support, at which villagers were told that if they did not offer their help, the pool would close.
An update on the pool's future was given at Overton Parish Council meeting, at which Tony Leach, a governor at Overton Primary School, said: "The good news is the pool will be opening this year, so we are pleased to let you know that because that wasn't abso-lutely certain, but it is now."
Fiona Wyeth, headteacher at Overton Primary School, explained to councillors that problems arose when changes were made to the school's funding.
She added: "We really do want to keep the pool open, and that's very much on our agenda, but it has to be affordable and sustainable."
She said the running costs change each year, but are on average between £12,000 and £15,000.
Mrs Wyeth said: "We have to make sure we spend the right money on the right things for the children."
An agreement has been reached between the school and Lordsfield Swimming Club, which has 700 members who use the pool.
It means that the club will fund 78.5 per cent of the costs, and the remaining 21.5 per cent will come from the school, which reflects the usage of the facility.
John Pritchard, the chairman of Lordsfield Swimming Club, said around 200 people attended the public meeting, of which 90 filled in a form to offer support of suggestions on how to save the pool.
He said: "The support is there in the village to volunteer and help support the pool."
Funding has already been secured to train new volunteers and the committee is now looking to source more funds from elsewhere, including local businesses.
Cllr Lucy Sloane Williams, who said her daughter had learned to swim at Lordsfield pool, added: "It's a magical element for children in the village."
Mr Leach thanked the council for their support – the council has agreed to put aside £2,000 each year for the pool.
He added: "It's imperative the pool continues in the future, and I know you will support that."

How can TI-M shame the utterly shameless?
YOURSAY 'It is like a person going to a doctor with a heart attack, but the doctor is more interested in the boil on the patient's behind.'
TI-M to name and shame pledge violators online
LittleGiant: A pledge is just a pledge, it has no legal binding at all. Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak knows this very well.
As far as his BN government is concerned, the Election Integrity Pledge of Transparency International-Malaysia (TI-M) is just a piece of paper, and signing that was an audacious act to mislead the people by 'showing' that BN believes in clean and fair elections.
The atrocious revelations being made at the ongoing Sabah royal commission of inquiry (RCI) on the 'citizenship-for-votes' scam offered by government agencies to thousands and thousands of illegal immigrants - who then became legal voters - is proof enough that the BN government has absolutely no regard for the country's laws, including the election laws and regulations.
What integrity does BN have to sign the Election Integrity Pledge? I don't think that TI-M could actually name and shame the pledge violators, especially those from the BN coalition. And even if TI-M proceeds to do it, the BN politicians who are beyond redemption could not be bothered about it.
Milosevic: Many people turn to Transparency International for information on a country's state of corruption.
It has become a trusted source, even if in some instances, one might quarrel with the methodology used. However, everything gets perverted and becomes a farce when it arrives onto Malaysian shores.
TI-M president Paul Low's approach to ensuring clean elections in Malaysia is like a person going to a doctor with a heart attack, but the doctor is more interested in the boil on the patient's behind.
TI-M does not have a clue what is really required to secure fair and clean elections. Worse still, it pretends to be concerned about fair elections when in fact, it is abetting with the Election Commission to carry out a very dubious electoral process.
At Malaysia's 13th general election, TI-M would serve the citizens better by doing nothing, rather than pretending to do something, for it is providing - as many have mentioned - a cover for highly irregular practices already being unleashed in the country.
Smalltowner: I don't think that TI-M was wrong in getting Umno to sign their pledge. Having done so, TI-M has the moral ground to criticise them for breaking the pledge.
I don't think that TI-M had been used by Umno. The Umno leaders may like to think so, banking on the mileage they think they are getting from it and hoping that nothing will come back to sting them.
Indeed, it is too early to write off TI-M. We should see how critical this anti-corruption NGO is against those who have undeniably broken its pledge.
It is not too late if we judge them later, so there is no need to jump the gun. Who knows, this may even come back to haunt Umno at GE13? Let's wait and see.
Starr: It's a welcome assurance that TI-M will publish the names of the violators of the integrity pledge, along with the description of their violations.
This should serve as a disincentive for politicians to violate the integrity pledge and to shame them publicly.
In spite of all the criticisms, it's a good start for TI-M's efforts to stamp out corrupt practices in elections. Corruption and abuse of power are the biggest enemies of the state (not Australian Senator Nick Xenophon), one should not discourage any efforts in curtailing such ill-practices.
Hermit: Najib could not withstand the test of truth, integrity, ethical conduct and accountability.
A true leader in any democratic country must be able to withstand these tests. Even a mere hint of sexual demeanour would necessitate him to bow out gracefully from the public office.
In the case of Najib, he has been slandered with the cover-up of a murder and those who have the evidence have come out into the open to offer their assistance to the relevant agencies to initiate criminal investigations against him.
Nes: The above photo shows the height of hypocrisy in this country. Najib is signing the pledge of integrity while surrounded by corrupt politicians (both morally and materially). Can you beat that?
Jaycee: Another EIF (exercise in futility).
Taikohtai: Malaysia doesn't need any more violators walking around incognito in black hoods, Mr Paul Low.
Transparency: The pledge is an attempt by TI-M to bring to the forefront the issue of corruption, integrity and governance, not only for the GE13 but also for what is expected of lawmakers.
The pledge clarifies the benchmarks that are expected. TI-M is an NGO and has no enforcement authority but it tries to facilitate accountability. The PM by signing the pledge has put himself under greater scrutiny by the voting public.
For those politicians who have not signed up, what standing do they have to criticise those who have signed when they themselves do not commit to these integrity benchmarks? The reasons may be they are either not able to meet these standards or they are too proud to subject themselves to public scrutiny.
With the PM signing and creating such controversy, it is an indication that these issues of integrity must be taken more seriously than in the past and he must walk the talk. So as fellow citizens, please persuade all GE13 candidates to sign up.
Clearwater: How can TI-M shame the utterly shameless? Many Malaysian politicians are shameless creatures with hides several centimetres thicker than the piece of paper they signed.
They are also fully aware that the public generally has a short memory. Therefore, they know that they can simply sign the pledge and never be condemned for their misdeeds.
Not Convinced: Imagine Sarawak CM Taib Mahmud and Sabah CM Musa Aman both signing the pledge. What a farce.

He is usually able to order games and expansions we do not have in stock.
We are located on walking routes for those exploring San Francisco history. When you go down the crooked Lombard Street or visit Holy Trinity Cathedral or take a ride on the Hyde Street cable car, be sure to stop by Russian Hill Bookstore for San Francisco related books, cards and mementos to take home.

"For excellence, the presence of others is always required." This quote from Hannah Arendt should get us all thinking about how we as individuals contribute to form a community of excellence at institutions like WPI. How do we combine the best of our individual talents into a community with its own unique characteristics and culture of excellence?
In the WPI Plan, we achieve excellence through a peer learning and inspiring model. Our projects, whether they are design or implementation focused, utilize the best of our talents to solve problems and to be relevant to our community. Being inspired by peers leads us to a state where we raise not only the ceiling for our most talented community members but also the floor of our expectations for all. At WPI, the power of evidence, the continual assessment to improve quality, and the environments for learning stand as a foundation of the WPI Plan and our collective excellence.
The power of this education is more than a single faculty member's crucial contribution. That power also lies within our community of learners and the culture they establish at WPI. So how are we establishing the culture of excellence at WPI? How are we using the power of the presence of others?
As the Dean of Arts & Sciences, one of my most important tasks is to promote creativity, innovation and balance between the scholarship of teaching and the scholarship of discovery. Our proud tradition as problem solvers requires the rigor of research aligned with an appreciation and understanding of the problems facing our generation and beyond. Researchers as teachers, learners as inventors, and community members as partners working together make up the culture of excellence in the Arts and Sciences at WPI.
I would like to invite you to be a more engaged member of this community. I am certainly proud to be part of an institution that respects the talents of others and one that works together to form the community we call WPI. As Arendt's words remind us, we need to draw on all our talents, time and treasures and I hope you will lend yours as we continue to educate the future leaders of tomorrow.

More discoveries from the University of the Bleeding Obvious. It turns out that people make judgements about other people based on the way they speak. And that some regional accents are more prestigious than others.
A couple of psychologists at an outfit calling itself Bath Spa University asked 48 people to look at pictures of four women while listening to women speaking in one of three different accents or without sound. They were asked to rate the pictures on how intelligent the women seemed. And, mirabile dictu, the Yorkshire accent came out on top, closely followed by "the Queen's English" (though not, I assume, actually spoken by the queen). Silence was in third place, while a woman speaking in a thick Birmingham accent was rated the least intelligent of all.
This survey has all the usual characteristics of cod science. A statistically insignificant sample, an inadequately described procedure (at least in the reports), a publicity-friendly subject and a predictable result.
As Professor Henry Higgins put it in Pygmalion, "It's impossible for an Englishman to open his mouth without making some other Englishman despise him." But it was old news even then.
But that didn't prevent the research leader, Dr Lance Workman from theorising about what creates the apparent prejudice against Brummie accents.
"People associate the Birmingham accent with criminal activity and that criminal activity is associated in people's mind with low intellect," he said. I'm not sure either of those assumptions is accurate. Personally, I associate a thick New Jersey Italian accent with criminal activity far more than Brum, but that's just the sort of neurological damage you sustain watching years of The Sopranos.
Workman continues, trying to account for the better response to a Yorkshire accent:
If you go back 40 years, received pronunciation was seen as by far and away number one for intelligence. More recently we have seen a cultural evolution that has seen regional dialects being seen in a more positive light, although some more than others.
Must be William Hague. In contrast to, say, Clare Short. But then Harold Wilson spoke with a pronounced Yorkshire accent, and no-one thought he was stupid. And what of Enoch Powell (an idiot, perhaps, but not a man of inferior intellect)? He spoke all his life in the gentrified version of Brummie usually euphemised as "West Midlands".
Nope. Dr Workman is talking bollocks.
Making assumptions about people based on the way they speak is as natural as making assumptions about people based on the way they dress, or the job they do (or appear to do), or how they write. Since we're not provided with a recording of the voices used, it's impossible to know whether the Birmingham woman taking part in the tests actually sounded, or was attempting to sound, either unintelligent or unintelligible. Or whether the Yorkshirewoman sounded like Norah Batty or one of the Bronte sisters.
Such surveys have been done many times before, and rarely yield anything surprising. When a larger sample of voices is used, a snooty Edinburgh accent invariably comes top in terms of perceived intelligence, whereas people are more inclined to trust Geordies or folk from Yorkshire. But the tone of a voice more significant than the vowels. Southern English Received Pronunciation can sound authoritative and intimidating, but it can also sound air-headed and Sloaney. New Yorkers sound brash and impatient, if they also sound rich, or ballsy, if they don't. Irish people are imagined to be witty and charming rather than (as used to be assumed) thick. Glaswegian usually slugs it out with Brummie for the wooden spoon. But then the Glaswegian concerned is invariably of the impenetrable Rab C. Nesbitt variety. There's also a much softer, rather musical Glaswegian speech: Commons Speaker Michael Martin is a noted modern exponent.
"These are of course stereotypes that are not based in any way on how intelligent people actually are. It's all about prejudice," says Dr Workman. Is it, though? There is, after all, a correlation - not an absolute correlation, but a clear one nevertheless - between acquiring higher education and losing thicker, more traditional types of dialectical speech.
Education softens the rough edges of regional accents. It also encourages clarity of diction. Speaking clearly and grammatically is a much surer guide to intelligence than regional accents, and is likely to be perceived as such. A person with a posh RP voice might be a high court judge. Or he might be Tim Nice-but-Dim. But a person who speaks impenetrable Glaswegian is unlikely to have ventured far outside the city of his birth. And that is surely becoming more rather than less relevant when making snap judgements about brain-power.
Apologies for the trivial subject-matter. It was this or Blair's religion speech, and having ploughed my way through the transcript I was beginning to lose the will to live. Another day, perhaps.

(6/13/2007) NEW HAVEN- The emergency communication centers, effectively the 911 answering centers for the police and fire department have merged into one united Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP). This $1.9 million project was completed over a period of seven months and is now fully equipped to handle all 911, fire and police communications. The new facility houses 18 work stations, each fully equipped with state of the art consoles to handle all public safety telephone and radio communications. The new model allows all personnel to answer both fire and police emergency calls, a transition that employees are being cross-trained for.
�This is a great achievement for New Haven police and fire as it reduces response time and gets residents the help they need without wasted transfer time,� said Mayor John DeStefano, Jr. �Public safety is a priority in our city and I am proud of the work our police and fire departments have made to continuously improve services to our residents.�
The new PSAP will provide enhanced call handling and improved radio interoperability both within the City and with Yale Police as well as the State and surrounding towns. In creating this improved system New Haven benefits from a $300,000 State incentive offered to municipalities to combine police and fire 911 operations into a single location. New Haven will receive this incentive annually to help pay for 911 related expenses.
"This combined 911 center will make us more efficient and better able to respond to the needs of the residents of this city,� said Police Chief Francisco Ortiz.
The new joint facility will improve public safety by allowing for direct response to each call rather than having to transfer calls from remote locations as had to be done in the past.

text: JOHANNESBURG : South African President Jacob Zuma has dedicated his ANC's landslide victory in this week's elections to Nelson Mandela, 20 years to the day after the late liberation leader's inauguration. 'We dedicate our victory to Madiba's memory, and pledge to continue taking forward his legacy and that of his peers and forebears,' Zuma said Saturday, using Mandela's clan name. The party's 62.15 percent share of the vote meant an 'overwhelming mandate' for a fifth term in government since the end of white-minority rule, said Zuma, speaking publicly for the first time on the vote results.Nostalgia for the father of the nation, who died last December, helped bring support for the ruling party in Wednesday's polls despite a series of corruption scandals, galloping unemployment and economic doldrums. Marking two decades to the day since Mandela became South Africa's first black president, Zuma said: 'The victory also reaffirms that the ANC remains the only true hope for the majority of our people, particularly the poor and the working class.'The results assured the ruling party 249 seats in the 400-member parliament, while main opposition the centrist Democratic Alliance's (DA) 22.23 percent gave it 89. New radical left-wing party the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) came third with 6.35 percent, propelling its inflammatory leader Julius Malema into parliament. Anti-apartheid veteran Mamphela Ramphele, a former World Bank managing director, garnered two seats for her Agang party after a disappointing performance.Over 73 percent of the 25.4 million registered voters cast their ballot. Speaking at the main election tallying centre in Pretoria before dashing to a victory rally in Johannesburg, Zuma set the tone for the incoming administration. He pledged to continue programmes to improve the delivery of basic services to millions of South Africans and roll out massive new infrastructure projects. Zuma, 72, is assured of a second five-year term despite controversies like $23 million in state-paid upgrades to his private home in Nkandla in the country's rural east.A state watchdog in March found he had unduly benefited from the renovations. Later at the victory party he danced on stage with ANC leaders while local artists performed to the cheers of a few thousand supporters wearing the organisation's green, black and gold colours. He then triumphantly blasted critics in unusually vitriolic terms for focusing on his home upgrades. 'Many newspapers wrote about the failures of the ANC. Opposition (parties) forgot to talk about themselves and spent their time talking about ANC in an attempt to confuse people of this country,' said Zuma.'There's nothing wrong with Nkandla, there's something wrong with them!' he said to laughs. The opposition DA's parliamentary leader, Lindiwe Mazibuko, unexpectedly resigned although her party's support grew, according to comments published Sunday. Mazibuko, 34, a rising star in the party, said in South Africa's Sunday Times that she would leave to study at Harvard University in the United States for a year.

Hi new here, I'm making a project that need's a robotic arm. My base will rotate 180 and the elbow will have a length of 15cm and weight 1kg. Which should the torque of the elbow servo be? Is this a good one?? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-2-4x-Digital-MG996R-High-Torque-Servo-Metal-Gear-for-RC-Car-Truck-Boat-Model-/400669823345?pt=UK_ToysGames_RadioControlled_JN&var=&hash=item5d49c85171 Thanks..
torque = force*distance (distance being the radial distance between the axis of rotation and the load vector)
I'm not sure I understand your design ... you talk about the base and then the elbow. Is there more than one joint? Perhaps a better description or ideally a picture.
If you are designing a joint that will move a 15cm long arm in a vertical plane then the max load would be when the arm is in the horizontal position (where the radial distance the force vector acts on is longest). This would give a torque of 15 kg-cm not accounting for any acceleration, frictional losses, or the mass of the arm. As your servo can only achieve this torque at stall it is probably a little too small especially given the other loads not accounted for in the calculation.
Note N-cm are the correct units to express torque but I used kg-cm because that is how your servo is speced. To convert mass to weight (force) use Force = mass*acceleration (acceleration in this case is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s^2)
Thank you very much for your answer!! To be more precise my robotic arm will have a base that will only rotate 180 degrees and then 10cm arm L1 until the elbow ant then another 15cm long arm L2. That's it only that. My L2 will be 1Kg with the arm mass. The L2 will be at a vertical position and I want it to move 45degrees right and left. I mean that the center will be at the vertical position and wont go at a horizontal position ever.
Also what does at stall mean? It's probably a stupid question but my inglish is a little rusty..
And to find the exact torque for my servo can you explain it one more time :) . You wrote me that "torque = force*distance" so my distance is 15cm and my force is "mass*acceleration" which mass in this case is 1kg and acceleration 9.8m/s^2?? Thank you..
You will need to post a drawing or sketch of some kind -- I don't understand what you intend to convey with "L2 at vertical."
If the longest distance your gripper will be from the center is 25 centimeters, and the weight of your load plus the arm is 1 kg, then the holding torque of the L1 servo needs to be at least 25 kg.cm.
"stall torque" is the rating for an actuator/motor at which the motor stops and cannot produce any more torque. A motor that is held in stall for more than one or a few seconds is likely to destroy itself. When you see only one rating for a motor, it's usually the "stall torque," if you intend to apply continuous torque, the "working torque" of a motor will typically be 0.20 or 0.25 times the stall torque.
Thus, for a holding torque of 25 kg.cm, you may need a motor with stall torque rating of 125 kg.cm.
Thank you for replying. Here's a sketch, if it's to sloppy tell me to do a better one.. I will have a sun panel instead of a gripper and some other stuff too and that's why the weight of the arm and load will be 1kg.. It will go only 45degrees left and 45degrees right and the center of the L2 arm 15cm will be facing up. Which should the torque of the elbow servo be?

MIAMI — It's estimated that more than 11 million undocumented immigrants are living and working in the U.S. While some of them believe that the proposed visa program being hashed out in the White House could inch them a little closer to the American dream, others are not so sure.
"It's a hope for the people who have been living here in the shadows. But it's all up in the air, because it hasn't been mentioned whether it (the reform) will apply to farm workers," Lucas Benitez, a member and leader of the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW), told Florida Watchdog.
CIW is a nonprofit organization recognized worldwide for its work in defense of agricultural workers.
"We hope that the reform will also apply to workers in the field, but we don't know if they will put us in a different category," Benitez said.
The CIW activists said he fears field workers will be forever stuck in mindless, repetitive work that taxes them physically and offers little to no opportunity for advancement.
Benitez said farm workers earn between $ 13,000 and $ $16,000 annually for full-time work. He said working conditions and low pay largely are to blame for the dwindling numbers of farm workers willing to come to the U.S.
"I think it's fair to ask why there are shortages of field workers when there is a very high unemployment rate in the country," he said. "If there are jobs in agriculture, why is the unemployment rate so high?
"A lot of people who are unemployed don´t want to work in a job that requires such physical demands, 40 hours a week, and yet still live below poverty level," he said.
A study by the Migration Policy Institute brings to light the problem. According its research, the growth of the middle class and the declining birth rate in Mexico are decreasing the stock of workers willing to accept the demanding and low-paying jobs, both in their own country and the U.S. In fact, Mexico is in the transitional phase of being both an exporter and an importer of agricultural labor, which makes the country heavily dependent on Guatemalan agricultural workers.
The study also showed that 70 percent of agricultural workers across the U.S. (excluding temporary workers with H-2A visas) were born in Mexico, and 55 percent don't have legal documents.
Benitez said that in Florida there are about 100,000 farm workers, but that it's difficult to know the exact number and how many are undocumented because there are no official figures tracking them.
Rick Roth, owner of 5,000 acres of sugar cane, vegetables and rice in the Everglades agricultural area, also favors farm-worker reform.
Roth, along with the Florida Farm Bureau and the Florida Fruit and Vegetable Association, will be heading to Washington, D.C. in the coming months to push immigration reform.
"We want them to know that it's very important to us that they find a way to make our workers legal," Roth told the Palm Beach Post in a recent interview.
FFVA said that despite the decline in the construction sector, agricultural producers are concerned about having a suitable workforce.
According to FFVA's website, the nonprofit supports immigration policies that strengthen national security while facilitating farmers' access to a stable and legal workforce, including helping them obtain guest worker visas (H2-A visas) for their employees.
The H2-A visa program allows U.S. employers to hire immigrants to work temporarily in the agricultural industry.
To apply, employers have to prove to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service that the job is temporary and that there aren't enough eligible workers in the United States willing to do the work. They also must provide transportation to and from work, housing, three meals a day and the same net wages as U.S. workers. On completion, the employer must return the workers to their home country. It's an expensive, complex and confusing proces.
The website Immigrationdirect shows that since 2008 the number of H2-A visas issued has declined — 64,404 were issued in 2008; 60,112 in 2009; and 55,921 in 2010.
"I'm not totally opposed to guest worker program. But I don't like how they can buy your freedom with it," Benitez said.
"This program means that you can only work for the company that recruits and employs you. If the crop is damaged and they don't use you, you can't work in another industry. They can just ship you back to your country whenever they please without having fulfilled the contract."
He also said that he knew of cases where workers hired in northern Florida under the H2-A program work under conditions akin to slavery.
That's exactly what Benitez and the folks at Coalition of Immokalee Workers aim to stop. The CIW, founded in 1993, launched the Campaign for Fair Food in the early 2000s. It succeeded in reaching agreements with major food retailers like McDonald's, Subway, Taco Bell and Burger King to improve the working conditions and wages of tomato farm workers.
"Right now the industry is embarking on a new day. These agreements ensure that workers are guaranteed at least minimum wage throughout their contracted employment period. We are also doing audits of the participating companies with industry specialists," Benitez said.
"Publix super market chain and Wendy's are among the holdouts that still refuse to sign," he said.
As reported by Watchdog.org on Feb. 7, the immigration reform plan being discussed in the Senate suggests that agricultural workers be "treated differently than the rest of the undocumented population" because of their importance in maintaining the American "food supply."
"Unfortunately we can't predict the outcome of the Senate vote due to all the games they play in Washington," Benitez said. "Let's hope that in this case, the interest is genuine and that legislators support it."

You are hereJamaican lottery scams
Jamaican lottery scams
Using figures from the Federal Trade Commission in the United States of America (USA), CaPRI, the Director of Public Prosecutions says Jamaica could be receiving up to US$80 million per annum from the scam. Paula Llewellyn, has called for the implementation of an Advance Fee Fraud Act which would help to clamp down on persons involved in the multi-million dollar lottery scam.
The Advance Fee Fraud Act is currently used in Nigeria to combat criminal activities which are similar to the lottery scam.
Llewellyn who was speaking at a forum on the lottery scam on Wednesday also disclosed that currently there is no criminal charge that specifically refers to the scam.
Persons suspected to be involved in the lottery scam are largely charged under the Larceny Act, the Unlawful Possession of Property Act, and the Proceeds of Crime Act, (POCA).
The DPP also hit out at professionals in the society, who she says help to facilitate lottery scammers.
"Very often you find that the scammers are in league with professionals in the system, bankers, maybe some lawyers, police officers, business people who will all walk around looking like the exemplars of probity and what somebody having a good morale compass should have. But when you go below the surface, the only way that the scammer is able to achieve success and actually launder their monies is to be in conspiracy with these other professionals."
She welcomed plans by the government to introduce amendments to the Evidence Act, which would provide for video links to be used in court.
This would allow for the introduction of spoken evidence made by victims of the scam who live overseas. .
According to a research paper by the Caribbean Policy and Research Institute (CaPRI). 90 per cent of the victims being conned by lottery scammers are not reporting that they have been duped, The data indicated that "non-disclosure" made it difficult to determine the actual level of funds being channeled to Jamaica through the illegal activity.
Using figures from the Federal Trade Commission in the United States of America (USA), CaPRI said Jamaicans may be receiving up to US$80 million per annum from the scam, but noted that this was a conservative figure, given the high underreporting among victims.
The data is one of several key findings presented by the institute at the Lottery Scam Forum organised by the Jamaica National Building Society (JNBS) in Kingston on Wednesday.
According to the research, most victims reside in areas of the United States where there is a high Jamaican population, especially in New York, New Jersey and Florida, and that victims risked their savings and social security payouts, ostensibly, for large sums of cash they believe they won in a "lottery" or the right to claim the fortune of someone who recently died.

Dame Pauline Neville-Jones said it is vital to have "a frank and robust debate" about the responsibilities of the Muslim community in helping to prevent extremism.
Reacting to criticism of remarks made by the Conservative leader, David Cameron, and also of her policy group's report on national security, Dame Pauline said: "I think it's very important if you start engaging in a dialogue, to continue it.
"When my report came out, things I - or some of the things I said - were not at all welcome to the Muslim Council of Britain. And I said right, let's talk.
"But what you can't do is make a whole series of statements, make an analysis and then back off and say, well I'm not going to say any more. And not going to talk to you.
"We need to talk to each other."
'Not demonisation'
Dame Pauline told Tim Donovan: "It's not demonisation to set out the facts, and quite apart from the terrorists, there is a group and there is a stream of propaganda you might say, but certainly ideology, which is pumped out inside the Muslim community, which says in effect, you as a Muslim want to separate yourself from this society.
"Because actually, it's not a particularly good society and what we want as a group is a carve-out, within the United Kingdom.
"Now that's not what's needed. What is more, you can't, I think, accept if you want a liberal, tolerant, democratic society, that people are allowed to use the freedoms of that society to undermine its values."
Dame Pauline is a former Chief of Joint Intelligence Committee and is also the Chair of the Conservative Policy Group on Security.

Best Of :: Arts & Entertainment
Leave it to local burlesque madame and emcee Cora Vette to start a nationwide revolution in boylesque. She's been traveling the country over the past year to perform at boylesque shows, talking about why men putting on fabulous costumes and then taking them off is awesome and generally advocating for the concept. And Denver has definitely benefited from her efforts with the monthly revue, now at Bender's. Featuring Cisco Yocisco, Phoenix Rising, Nite Fury, JoJo Justin Tyme, token lady Ophelia P. Cocque and assorted guests, the show is wild-and-crazy eye candy of the (mostly) male persuasion. You'll see everything from a clothes-shedding Zorro to sexy football players to really sexy cowboys to strip-poker numbers. The next one takes place on Thursday, April 19; if you caught this crew at Artopia this past February, you got a peek at what to expect. If not, hold on to your jockstrap!
We take care of our own. While this notion has always held true in Denver, the sentiment was never driven home more convincingly than when 3 Kings Tavern co-owner Jim Norris was unexpectedly hospitalized after being bitten by a brown recluse spider. Norris spent nearly a week in the hospital, racking up a mountain of bills. But soon after news of his dilemma spread, a number of good friends, including Jerri Thiel and John Baxter, organized a series of benefits for the local music champion, and tons of bands stepped in to lend a hand. Way to go, Denver.
When the property that once held Time Capsule Studios — the iconic recording facility where a number of classic Denver albums were recorded — went into foreclosure and was taken over by the bank last May, Martin Anderson, a real-estate agent charged with overseeing the sale of the building, discovered what he suspected to be master recording reels left behind. Sensing that these tapes might contain irreplaceable recordings — with sentimental value for those who recorded them, if nothing else — he made arrangements for the tapes to be salvaged by Haylar Garcia, whose band Hippie Werewolves had recorded at Time Capsule, and whose Decibel Garden Studios agreed to serve as custodian of the reels at no charge. As a result, classic recordings from the likes of the Fluid and Christie Front Drive were saved.
Wealthy Victor is living the expatriate's dream in 1960s Europe, but he's very, very sad, nonetheless: His mistress Louise has just refused his offer of marriage. So he has come to the elegant cafe he owns in Paris intending to starve himself to death. The staff is horrified. They suggest feeding him an imaginary banquet, plate by luscious plate, in hopes of changing his mind. As Victor in the Boulder Ensemble Theatre Company's production of An Empty Plate in the Cafe de Grand Boeuf, John Arp sampled each imaginary dish judiciously (Arp is actually a trained chef), and while he did, he dictated his obituary to the distressed waiter. This is a character who could easily seem tedious and narcissistic, but Arp played him with such warmth and intelligence that you couldn't help hoping Louise would accept him — and that he'd have a bite to eat.
9 Circles, which had its regional premiere at Curious Theatre Company, is based on a real-life atrocity in Iraq: an incident in which a United States soldier entered a family home, raped and killed the fourteen-year-old daughter, killed both her parents and her six-year-old sister, then attempted to burn her body. Taking us into this man's mind is a serious challenge. As Daniel Reeves, Sean Scrutchins needed to be twitchy and almost blurrily out of focus at first, and then, by turns, difficult, belligerent, humorous, unaware and in a state of deep denial. Scrutchins was all this — and then he took us by the throat for the play's terrifying final scene, shaking us out of our complacency and then setting us back down again, forever changed.
The character of Coalhouse Walker towers over the musical Ragtime, a panoramic take on the history of the early twentieth century based on the E.L. Doctorow novel. We are shown Walker's patient and ultimately victorious courtship of Sarah, the mother of his child; his pride, the insults he endures, and then his violent radicalization. When the actor scheduled to play Walker developed throat problems, understudy Tyrone Robinson took over the role of Walker a short time before Ragtime opened at the Arvada Center for the Arts. Tall and imposing, cocky and vulnerable, he gave full expression to the character's fierce tenderness and ambiguous morality, and his powerful, expressive voice commanded the stage.

Type of Document Dissertation Author Wesse, David Joseph Author's Email Address email@example.com URN etd-09102012-193745 Title The Influence of the Introduction of Baccalaureate Degree Programs on the Awarding of Associate Degrees at Public Community Colleges Degree Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) Department Human Resource Education Workforce Development Advisory Committee
Advisor Name Title Verma, Satish Committee Chair Burnett, Michael F. Committee Co-Chair Marks, Loren D. Committee Member Mitchell, Roland W. Committee Member Keywords
- two-year with bachelors
Date of Defense 2012-07-06 Availability unrestricted AbstractLittle research has been done to examine how the awarding of bachelor's degrees, by community colleges, influences the traditional associate degree-granting role of these institutions. This quantitative study investigates the impact of this change on the community colleges that have been allowed to award bachelor's degrees, examining how this change affects the traditional associate degree granting output of these institutions. The population for this study is all public community colleges in the United States that offer associate degrees, including those awarding bachelor's degrees. A data query was used to collect the data for this study from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) database. In the full sample, there was a correlation between the number of associate degrees awarded and whether a bachelor's degree was offered. Schools that offered bachelor's degrees tended to have higher numbers of associate degrees awarded. In the subsample of schools that offered bachelor's degrees, there was a moderate positive correlation between the number of bachelor and associate degrees awarded. The number of associate degrees awarded was undiminished by the initiation of a bachelor's degree program at two-year schools. As such, this study may indicate successful higher education marketplace competition, with community colleges evolving to offer bachelor's degrees while successfully continuing their traditional associate degree-granting role. This study indicates that the awarding of associate and bachelor's degrees is not mutually exclusive. The one can be conducive to the other. A successful synergy can be established. The community college bachelor's may make sense as a competitive, market driven response to a societal need. Public community colleges that began to offer, over the last ten years, a four-year baccalaureate degree to meet higher education needs, in addition to the traditional two-year associate degree, are accomplishing this dual mission effectively. This conclusion is supported by the findings of this study and facts in the published literature. More states need to allow community colleges to offer bachelor's degrees. In this way, the legislatures could recognize the reality of the educational and economic development needs of place-bound, non-traditional students who have increased the demand for localized bachelor's degree programs.

- Cabin and crew were very good and all worked hard, the places we visited were lovely and all activities were well organised. The cook produced fantastic meals every day
We had quite a bit of wind so our itinerary had to change and we missed an island but we understand that no one can plan for the weather and when we had to stop further down the coast on the last day our tour leader arranged transport back to Trogir. However the main thing we feel that could have been better was the attention to detail from the tour leader, he basically didn't seem to care that much. There were extras he could have explained to us, eg a map showing where we were, history of Croatia,what the food was we were eating each day, what the weather forecast was. He answered our questions but we had to make the effort to get information from him. I have the feeling he has been doing the trip for sometime and has maybe become a bit complaceant
This was not a cheap holiday so we would have expected more from the leader

Easiest way earn much money
Perhaps, money is not everything, but everything costs money. Money may be obtained by any means either the right way or the wrong way, but if we use the wrong way, the state rules will be punished. Better, we imitate the way that is easy to make as much money as taught by anik singal with Inbox Blueprint him. At first, it was not easy because it requires extra patience and mentally strong. If at the initial stage we are weak then we will be at the bottom of the food chain in the world of marketing. Work hard and keep trying are the two main things to succeed in affiliate marketing. Fewer requirements necessary to earn money from affiliate marketing. And the main thing is the internet connection. We can not market their goods or offer products to all visitors if we are not connected to the Internet, therefore it is advisable to use the internet home that has stability.
As the workers themselves, we must also monitor the development of the affiliate website. If there is progress in a few weeks, then we can rest and give room to ourselves but we are not satisfied with the results that they got and continue to improve. If there is no improvement within a few weeks, we need to evaluate and see how the work we do. If we find an error, we must improve but if we are not trying to develop a website, then we must develop our website first. Finding difficulty at work is a natural thing and we must learn from these difficulties. Many people give up easily, even though they've tried affiliate marketing at the latest 1 month or 3 months. Nothing is impossible if we tried to include a lot of money making simple way. If you are bored with your current job, you can learn from books Anik Singal sold in many stores.

Bradley Cooper plays an appealing rake in He's Just Not That Into You
Has Bradley Cooper always been a lady-killer? "What do you think?" says Gloria Cooper, his proud Italian mother, on the phone from Philadelphia. "He had girlfriends from the day he started walking." Overhearing her voice from where he sits across the kitchen island in his Venice, California, home, her son the actor looks slightly alarmed. "Bradley was always attracted to women, and women have always been attracted to him." As illustrated on-screen by Jennifer Garner, Rachel McAdams, Sarah Jessica Parker, Jennifer Connelly, Scarlett Johansson, and Sandra Bullock. "He was always a gentleman," Gloria continues. "He went with a girl for four years in high school, and we went dancing and dining every weekend with the two of them." Cooper, 34, is shaking his head and extending an arm, like, Okay, enough, give me back my phone now. No way. "He moves like a black panther on the dance floor," says his friend Dax Shepard, costar of Punk'd and Baby Mama. "That guy's got moves galore—and I fancy myself a good dancer. At a Halloween party last year, we danced for six hours. Together. I went as a bodybuilder, and he went as Magnum P.I. in the mustache and short shorts. And he has the ass to pull them off." Cooper, who is best known as the good-guy reporter in Alias and the jerk fiancé in Wedding Crashers, costars in the Jim Carrey comedy Yes Man and the film version of the best-seller He's Just Not That Into You. After that, he'll make leading man moves on Renée Zellweger in the thriller Case 39 and on Heather Graham in The Hangover. Let's leave it to Shepard, an incorrigible kidder, to give women fair warning: "Those blue eyes will burn a hole right through you. I've been lost in those suckers before."
Bradley Cooper: Your name is Holly, my sister's name is Holly, and my therapist's name is Holly.
ELLE: And you work in Hollywood. How did that happen?
BC: I'm a crazy cinephile. Growing up in Philly, my father [who was a stockbroker] would sit me down and impart things to me like treasures: "Bradley, this is Apocalypse Now. This is The Elephant Man...." We lived across the street from a Cineplex. I'll go toe-to-toe with your film shit. What movie is this from: "Tu me tues, tu me fais du bien"?
ELLE: Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure?
BC: It's Hiroshima mon amour, Alain Resnais. Ever seen it? [Puts a hand up] Don't even talk to me. It's fucking beautiful, dude. It means, "You kill me, but you do me good."
ELLE: That's a conversation for therapy. Which is clearly working; you're successful in every medium—television, film, theater. You and Julia Roberts made your Broadway debuts together in Three Days of Rain.
BC: My favorite moment on stage was one night—there's a scene between me and Julia; we're both sitting downstage, near the audience. And there was a person right in front of us, I don't know who she was, but if I just, like, moved my eyebrow she was like, "Hahahaahah!" Laughing at everything I did—this cackle—to the point where I literally was just trying to say my lines and not move. It got to the point—she's like the third character in the play at this point. And I was looking at Julia and she just started laughing and I started laughing, and it's like, Oh my God, I am not going to be able to stop laughing and there are a thousand people watching us right now.
ELLE: That was me, by the way. Moving on: In He's Just Not That Into You, who are you just not that into?
BC: I play Ben. I'm unhappily married to Jennifer Connelly, and then I meet Scarlett Johansson in a convenience store and I have an affair with her.
ELLE: How convenient.
BC: My hope is that people will not judge Ben as much as relate to him. It's very easy to vilify this guy because he's a guy who has an affair. But people do have affairs.
ELLE: Should the wife leave?
BC: It depends on the situation. I think it would be a crime both ways. Life's complicated and people do things for a lot of reasons. I think if you live in a black-and-white world, you're gonna suffer a lot. I used to be like that. But I don't believe that anymore.
ELLE: Finish the sentence: Don't trust a guy who...
BC: Accuses you of infidelity. He's cheating. He's projecting. If you're living that kind of life, you think everybody else is too.
ELLE: Are you a romantic?
BC: Yes—to a fault! I'm older now, so thank God....
ELLE: Most romantic thing you've ever done?
BC: Well, I got married. [Laughs]
ELLE: For four months to actress Jennifer Esposito. You fell in love, got married, and then what happened?
BC: [Laughs] That, that...I have no problem talking about, but I have to respect the counterpart. It was three years ago. I don't regret it.
ELLE: Are you still friends?
BC: Unfortunately not. Maybe someday.
ELLE: Do you think you might ever marry again?
BC: Absolutely!
ELLE: Will you have mini Coopers?
BC: I want to have kids so badly. If I'm lucky I will.
ELLE: How do you break up with a girl?
BC: Be direct. You have to behave the way you would want her to behave, and I would want the door to be closed. You have to be sensitive but honest. You have to be a gentleman and do it in person. You have to look her in the eyes.
ELLE: And then do you have break-up sex?
BC: You can, but you have to be clear—that the lines aren't blurred, because it can be selfish.
ELLE: So as long as both of you know that after sex...
BC: That's it. It's a nice goodbye. Like, Goodbye, this was wonderful.
ELLE: Like a period at the end of a sentence.
BC: Yes. Well, you said that, not me. I'm not going to reduce it to grammar.
ELLE: Spoken like the true Georgetown English major that you were.
BC: Well, I was in the honors English program. My third year was dedicated to a thesis on Vladimir Nabokov and specifically Lolita. An analysis of the maintenance of the work's integrity as it bounced into screenplay form and ultimately incarnated into two cinematic depictions.
ELLE: I was an English major too, with a concentration in CliffsNotes. Let's check out your bookcase: Cormac McCarthy's The Road; Dr. Andrew Weil; art books (Egon Schiele, Julian Schnabel); pictures of your dogs, Charlotte and Samson, both of them rescues; Stanley Kubrick's A Life in Pictures; a Star Wars light saber; W. B. Yeats.
BC: I love the Yeats poem "The Cloths of Heaven": "Tread softly because you tread on my dreams."
ELLE: Now that's a great pickup line. Is it your favorite bit of poetry?
BC: Hmm...I have a favorite line from a Neil Young song [sings the line from "A Man Needs a Maid" ]: "A while ago somewhere I don't know when...." I'm a massive Neil Young fan.
ELLE: And you know the rest: "I was watching a movie with a friend/ I fell in love with the actress/ She was playing a part that I could understand." How do you keep from falling in love with your costars?
BC: You don't. Best day at work ever in my life: We were shooting He's Just Not That Into You and before lunch my character has sex with Scarlett; after lunch he has sex with Jennifer. During lunch I'm heading into the hair and makeup trailer to get touch-ups, and this woman Morgan [also] cuts Neil Young's hair, and all of a sudden there's a buzz: "Neil Young's in the trailer getting his hair cut!" I was so nervous. I went in, sat next to him, and talked to motherfucking Neil Young on my lunch break. It was insane! Is that a great day at work, or what?

Is a CD or DVD Cover considered packaging? or do you mean "gift wappers", cartons etc?
Hi Teela! I believe so, yes! I heard some things behind the scenes so I'll quickly double check to see what the current status is and if someone can post an update to the original thread. Thanks for asking!

Hi Sherman! We have a dedicated category for CD/DVD artwork, please see here:http://graphicriver.net/category/print-templates/cd-dvd-artwork
If you wanted to create some kind of custom packaging for CDs or DVDs though (i.e. different to a standard jewel box) then as far as I know, yes, it can be submitted to Packaging. Be sure it's not just artwork for a CD/DVD however as again, there's a separate category for that.
Any kind of printable product packaging is what we're looking for in the Packaging category. There are some items already in the category if you'd like to take a look to get a basic idea.
Thanks Scott
This is will be great
What if I submit 2 packages with the same shape but with different design?
for exaple, if i submit 2 boxes(the same box) with different designs printed in every box is that ok?

I would imagine that if the cutout template is the same but with two different artworks, say one for food and another for a cosmetic product, then that would be two items? I hope so anyway.
Nice:-) im in

To be sure, patriot-Americans are not know-nothing nativists or backwater rubes, nor are post-Americans traitors.
Predictably enough, a certain brand of know-nothing militarist sees the need for yet another war.
Such revelations seem like the dream come true of know-nothing anti-Catholicism.
Now the Russians recognize that Obama will be very different from his know-nothing predecessor.
Before the war he had been a "know-nothing," and had been exposed to Toombs' withering fire upon that class of politicians.
Stuck in this know-nothing Helstonleigh, I can only state the fact that they are made.
During the year occurred the memorable know-nothing riot, which resulted in the pulling down of a cross.
After all I didn't actually accuse David of being a know-nothing.
They made vigorous and successful fights against the know-nothing folly.
These are the publications which, in part at least, have given rise to the know-nothing organization, so cordially hated by you.
"ignoramus," 1827, from know + nothing. As a U.S. nativist political party, active 1853-56, the name refers to the secret society at the core of the party, about which members were instructed to answer, if asked about it, that they "know nothing." The party eventually merged into the Republican Party.

China's exports and imports rose less than estimated in April as weakness in Europe and a domestic slowdown weighed on trade, adding pressure on the government to ease policies to spur expansion.
Overseas shipments rose 4.9 per cent from a year earlier, the customs bureau said yesterday.
Import growth of 0.3 per cent trailed forecasts for a 10.9 per cent gain. The trade surplus was $US18.4 billion, almost double estimates of $US9.9 billion.
Chinese stocks reversed gains following the report, while the yuan weakened for a fifth day.
Growth in outbound and inbound trade so far this year is the slowest since the global financial crisis three years ago, increasing incentives for Prime Minister
"Given the rising political uncertainties in Europe, the weak data should push Beijing to gear up easing strength in no time," said Li Wei, a Shanghai-based economist with Standard Chartered.
The Shanghai Composite Index declined 0.2 per cent in late morning trade after earlier trading as much as 0.4 per cent higher.
Gains in the yuan against the US dollar have ground to a halt this year as the Chinese government argues that the currency is near "equilibrium" and austerity measures in Europe weigh on export demand.
The yuan fell less than 0.1 per cent to US6.3125¢ yesterday.
While more easing was inevitable, the yuan would see "more fluctuation, but less appreciation", said Shen Jianguang, chief Asia economist for Mizuho Securities in Hong Kong.
China's government has lowered banks' reserve requirement ratio twice since November to boost liquidity and spur lending. Its pause since the second cut announced on February 18 has lasted 82 days, surpassing the 80 between the first two.
Interest rates have been unchanged since an increase in July.
More than half of investors predict a member's exit from the 17-nation euro area this year as Greece's election impasse threatens to push the debt crisis to new depths, according to the Bloomberg Global Poll. Respondents to the May 8 survey were increasingly worried Spain would default and they were less willing to buy French debt as Francois Hollande took power.
Leaders in China have pledged to cut the economy's reliance on overseas sales and reduce controls on capital flows.
Growth in trade with the European Union and Japan was lacklustre, the customs bureau said in a statement yesterday. Combined trade with the EU grew 0.3 per cent in the first four months from a year earlier, while US exports and imports rose 9.2 per cent. Trade with Japan was down 1.5 per cent from a year earlier in the January-April period.
"Without any significant improvement in domestic and external demand in coming months, it could be quite a stretch for China to attain the 10 per cent trade growth target for this year," said Ren Xianfang, a Beijing-based economist with IHS Global Insight.
Analysts' estimates for China's export growth in April ranged from 5 per cent to 12 per cent, while import gain forecasts were for 5 per cent to 20 per cent, according to Bloomberg News surveys.
Economists projected a trade surplus ranging from $US1 billion to $US14.3 billion.
Import growth slowed in part because of declines in commodity prices. China imported 6.5 per cent more iron ore in the first four months of 2012 from a year earlier at an average price down 13.4 per cent over the same period. Soya bean imports rose 22.3 per cent by volume, while prices fell 7.6 per cent.

Last night, I turned on the television to see what was happening in Joe Lieberman's Senate race in Connecticut. What I ran into was a pair of talking heads: A Republican and a Democrat. The Republican said: Lieberman's defeat proves the Democrats support terrorism. And the Democrat retorted: The war in Iraq has nothing to do with terrorism.
Now, neither of those statements is exactly true, but there is nothing new about a little hyperbole on an election night. Still, the banter demonstrates a point. Neither party is really debating its solution to the war on terrorism.
The Democrats want to run against the war in Iraq but they're hardly saying a word about how – after they pull us out of Iraq – they will win the war on terrorism.
The Republican mantra, "stay the course," isn't flying too well with voters either. So they'd just as soon not mention it.
The problem is we are in a war with the terrorists and we either have to win it or make a peace that is acceptable without winning it.
But that doesn't seem to be a debate either party wants – probably because it involves taking a big step into dangerous political waters. The shame is no leader in either party has demonstrated the courage to take that risk.

"The problem is we are in a war with the terrorists and we either have to win it or make a peace that is acceptable without winning it."
What an odd statement. How do you "…make a peace that is acceptable…" with a terrorist organization? Is it acceptable if they agree only to kill Americans abroad, and not here? Or do we go by numbers–go get to kill X many American civilians each year? With whom do we negotiate these arrangements, and how will it be enforced?
The terrorists are trying to force us to adopt certain policies by terrorizing us into submission. We can do as Gary's party advocates, which is to try to apease the terrorists by withdrawl, surrender, and kow-towing to them, but I don't think that will stop them because if they get their way with terror tactics today they will simply have more outrageous demands tomorrow. Or we can continue to hunt them down around the world and catch or kill them where we can, and work with allies to hinder and vex them where that's feasible, and protect ourselves at all times.
Either way, I don't see a "victory" in the traditional sense. This is just the way the world is now.

Facing TV Problems? Ask a TV Technician.
Hi and welcome to justanswer.I`m going to help you with your tv but first i will have a few questions;
Are you connected with a cable box,satellite receiver etc ?Or directly to cable/antenna ?
I will be in standby, just send me a reply ,and i will be notified and be with you ASAP.
we connect with a cable box
can we deal with this tomorrow?
ahhh tomorrow is the holiday
well send me an email when you can. I'm going offline now as well.
sorry ,had to step out for a bit
I might have something easy enough for you to try tonight
Unplug the cable box`s power cord off the wall for a couple of minutes and try it again
alright, here goes, I will. No sound.
Did you pull off the power cord ?
I,m out of energy for tonight. Thanks Jack but I think I'll quit. Yes. the stations all say, to be announced.
Note that it may take a few minutes for the cable box to restart/reboot after you plug it back
I can't struggle anymore with the cords in the back.
it is just the power cord
not the other cords
unplug the cable box from the house AC electricity
yes and it still hasn't rebooted
yes it may take a minute or two
the picture is spectacular, maybe because I can't hear anything
Still rebooting ?
should I call comcast and have them refresh the signal?
has it finished re-booting ?
yes to be announced
It says 'to be announced " on the screen ??
it hasn't rebooted
o.k , you have to wait until it finishes
no on the guide
Sometimes it takes up to 5 minutes
I guess I'm too tired to be patient with it.
Also make sure the volume is up on your tv but not too loud otherwise you may get a rush when it comes back on
It' not coming in. Good picture no guide and no sound
It was working very well today but I moved the wires and now no sound
It may be too loud if it comes in
o.k then it may have to do with your wiring if it was working before you moved those cables
now the guide is back and no sound, I have changed the wires in back
Well, if you want to try to re-connect those wire tomorrow, send me a reply and i`ll be with you ASAP
can we take a rain check and get back tomorrow, what time?
Do you have anything else like a dvd connected to your tv ?
oh yes
Any time you want
Is that working ?
DVD and extra speakers
the DVD works well and the sound comes through auxiliary speakers very well
o.k then this has to do with the cable box and/or its wiring
See you tomorrow. Yes it's my doing, well goodnight
o.k then ,talk to you tomorrow
good night

Still in need of the coffee rush :)
I had my coffee and did the sudoku
hi Jack
Hello, was just reviewing what we had so far
I`ll get the manual for your tv again and perhaps if you could give me the brand/model of your cable box ?
still no sound but daylight helps to see things at the back of the tv. Comcast gives me a Motorola Cable Box and it has a row of five outputs red green blue tetc
Is that where you cables are connected , the component Y-Pb-Pr for picture and 2 red/white for left/right audio ?
Thats a total of 5 cables
o.k thats great
I saw that you mentioned at some point a HTS(home theater system) ?
so the cables coming into the tv, its hard to get to the back of the thing, give me a sec
Take your time, i have to retrieve some info,
be back shortly
I just disconnected everycable for the tv
even the cable cable
input 3 has 5 connections
y pb fr and a red and white audio output?
Input 3 would do it ,yes
And on your cable box , just above the card slot and in a horizontal row you have the same component connectors
You will see that every jack/connectors have their colors
those are the conns that were there in the first place still in
Use the same colors on both ends of that cable, they are the same on your tv
o.k then if thats where it was on your tv, then just connect them back on the cable box where i told you
yes in input 3
on to the tv I'' do that
on your cable box , just above the card slot and in a horizontal row you have the same component connectors
red blue gren are in but not sure about the audio
I he a dvd player also which I've disconnected
I reconn the cable in
audio is to the left of those connectors Y-Pb-Pr on the cable box
goood so I connected it. That was probablu the problem
ready to try
Got sound now ?
don't know
yes it's working yay. Can we do the DVD player?
Did you disconnect it as well ?
yes I did soI could see the whole board
O.k then if you look at the back of the dvd player, can you tell me what kind of cables/connections are there ?
The cables are 5 feet long and the tv is foot from everything
yellow red white
O.k then that is standard audio/video , be right back
Input 2 on your tv would do just fine
Same thing as before ,use the color coded connectors
I think I have an s-cable too
thanks input 2
O.k but you still will need 2 audio red/white cables
the colored wires are in 2
You have the red/white/yellow cable ?
yes there is no only a red and white radio shack set of wires coming out from the dvd box
But do you have a spare red/white /yellow cable or just 2 sets of re/whites ?
and a yellow radio shack pin connector which I thing was in the s-cab;
e spot
O.k then use that one along with the red/white cable
Input 2 has a S-video input
thanks its all attached
Is it working ?
Try a dvd ?
the dvd is reading.no sound on the dvd
Picture ?
yes I had to turn on the Sherwood radio aux etc
picture, all is great! I am done
Sounds good , so to speak :)
yes good pun
how much do I owe you?

So you want to be a full-time DJ and make a career out of all of this. That's great! But you're smart, so you'll also have worked out that being a full-time DJ is incredibly difficult.

5 Ways DJing Can Help You With Your Day Job

It's amazing how much the lessons I learned in a club as a DJing helped when I got my "real" career outside DJing. In fact, I highly recommend DJing as a great training program for any type of creative career... and it's a hell of a lot more fun than most internships.

Lyfe Jennings is kind of a G. In a recent interview, he discussed the "baby mama drama" that goes along with being an entertainer. "It's so much cleaner and easier when you just get the stuff right," he said. "Shout out to my 20 baby mamas, I wish you well. My baby mama always trying to send me to jail, that's her goal in life. My other baby mama she cool. She wants me to be involved in my child's life. but both of them are just spoiled and I take full responsibility for that 'cause I spoiled 'em. But now I'm trying to spoil me." Word. [Vibe]
Nicki Minaj gave out some free advice about wigs, which she wears cause she's a visual person. "Go for a human hair wig in jet black with a blunt cut China bag…I like the green bob. Everyone seems to like that. People are saying it's the winner right now…I decided to choose a new look. Color makes me happy. It really excites me. I am a very visual person and when I look in the mirror, and I see green or I see pink, it does something to my attitude. It makes me feel positive." Oompa Loompa's seemed pretty happy, too. [HipHopWired]
