New York (Oct. 6)
Backing up President Truman's urgent request for the opening of the doors of Palestine to the displaced Jews of Europe, Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, in an address at a dinner session of the United Palestine Appeal conference at the Hotel Commodore tonight, warned the British Government "that demands for immediate immigration into Palestine far transcend partisan politics and actually have the wholehearted support not only of the leadership of both political parties, but also of the vast majority of the American people."
Gov. Dewey called for the adoption of a bi-partisan policy with regard to the entire approach to the Palestine question, emphasizing that it "has no place in political campaigns." Recalling that in 1944 the Republican party proposed the adoption of a bi-partisan foreign policy and that its adoption served to eliminate the question of the world peace organization from the Presidential campaign, Mr. Dewey urged that a similar policy of united action for Palestine could serve to remove the issue from politics and reaffirm the policy of the United States "that the pledges to the Jewish people must be fulfilled."
"No one can say that a final solution in Palestine is easy. But the right of large and immediate Jewish immigration is fundamental to that solution and it must be an immigration of not 100,000, but of several hundreds of thousands," the Governor declared.
Asserting that the displaced persons of Europe are a challenge to the sincerity of our leadership, he said: "For a year and a half this problem has been crying out for action, not talk. It is the problem of not one religion or of one group; it is a problem of humanity itself. If this is the way the brave new world will solve its international problems, we have made a bad start indeed." He added that the promise of admission of 100,000 Jews to Palestine should have been fulfilled long ago and that it represents a "joint obligation of our government and the British government under their long-standing commitments."
Stating that he wishes to "speak frankly to our British friends," the Governor said: "It is no service to our own cause or to the cause of friendship to muffle the truth or to make widely and strategically spaced declarations, which are not followed by able, competent or productive action." Describing the plight of the Jews in post-war Europe, Mr. Dewey emphasized that the only difference between the tragic situation of the Jews of Europe before the war and their status at present is that "they have had only a few more promises since the end of the war and some new camps in Cyprus."
Freda Kirchwey, editor of the Nation, expressed the hope that President Truman's request to the British Government would serve to silence the extreme pro-British and pro-Arab elements in the State Department. She added that the President's request means Britain cannot initiate a new stalling operation without creating "serious resentment in this country." In appraising British policy in the Middle East, Miss Kirchwey said it was incompatible with Jewish Palestine's democratic way of life and that the British considered Zionist development a threat to their imperial interests.
Other speakers included Dr. Stephen S. Wise, James G. MacDonald, Judge Morris Rothenberg, Judge Bernard Rosenblatt, New York State Attorney General Nathaniel Goldstein and Rudolph G. Sonnenborn.
At the afternoon session a rare Hebrew Bible, a gift from Mayor Rokach of Tel Aviv in Palestine, was presented to Mayor William O'Dwyer by Jacob Sincoff, associate treasurer of the United Palestine Appeal and national co-treasurer of the United Jewish Appeal.
The conference adopted resolutions calling on the State Department to implement President Truman's policy on Palestine, condemned the failure of governmental and inter-governmental agencies to aid the Jews of Europe and pledged support to the Jewish community of Palestine.

Robin Williams talked about aging before release of Happy Feet Two
As you've no doubt heard, the beloved actor and comedian Robin Williams has died at 63.
In 2011, Williams spoke at a news conference attended by legendary Georgia Straight film writer Ian Caddell.
He talked about Happy Feet Two and growing older.
Here's an excerpt from the story:
Williams, who turned 60 in July, is asked at the news conference if he had concerns about aging. The actor, who recently married for the third time, says that although he did have heart surgery a few years ago, no one should expect him to keel over any time soon.
"You guys are saying, 'Wouldn't that be cool if this was his last press conference'? It would be like Richard Pryor after he got burned. He was in the hospital and this one orderly was wiping the smoke off him and he says, 'Richard, how about that last autograph?' But 60 is really amazing. I had my midlife crisis in my 40s, so 60 is great. Once you have the heart surgery, it's Me2.0. I am just off my honeymoon, and at 60, I can actually remember it, which is wonderful."

The distinction goes to Keshet Broadcasting's Prisoners Of War (Hatufim), which was written and directed by Gideon Raff and became the country's highest-rated TV drama. The story line will be familiar to fans of Showtime's Homeland— it was based on the Israeli series. It's about two soldiers trying to reintegrate with society, and reconnect with their families, after 17 years in an enemy prison. A military psychologist becomes suspicious when it turns out that their accounts of their captivity don't match. Secret service agents launch an investigation to determine who they really are and what they're hiding. The 10-part series stars Yael Abecassis, Mili Avital, Yoram Tolledano, Assi Cohen and Ishai Golan. It premieres on Hulu and Hulu Plus this Saturday, July 14.
Israeli Drama To Become Hulu's First Foreign-Language Exclusive Series In U.S.
6 Comments
Very cool. Big fan of Homeland and I'm really interested to see the series that inspired it.
In Hebrew? Really. Wow I predict huge ratings as all Americans love subtitled series. What's next? A Bulgarian mini series?
On British TV websites the people — used to seeing subtitled foreign language shows on their TV's (including this Israeli series Hatufim) — chortle about how Americans are "just too dumb" to watch anything with subtitles. Posts like yours make me wonder if my efforts to counter those kinds of statements are utterly misconceived.
Yes they are. Americans. And how many people watched that show on Hulu?
Cool! Homeland was good. It will be interesting to compare to the original. I'm glad that it will be in the original language as I like hearing the original language and don't mind reading subs.
I've been really curious about the original show — psyched to see it. Love Hulu to pick up the original IN TREATMENT, too.

WHO EXACTLY IS DR. MICHAEL VAN DE MEER? (STA BREAKING NEWS and ARCHIVES)
Dr. Michael Van de Meer - Does anybody know just who this guy is, or if he does in fact even exist? I Googled the name and found an oral surgeon in Spokie, IL. Don't think that would be the same guy.
Why do I ask? Funny you should ask. He's the "private but extremely influential, silent individual" whom Benjamin Fulford attributes as the source of his latest explosive bombshell blog:
Dr. Van de Meer Predicts Monetary Collapse
Of US Starting On September 30th
Republished here at Rense.com
A private but extremely influential, silent individual, Dr. Michael Van de Meer, is the person predicting a financial collapse of the United States starting on September 30th. That is the end of the fiscal year and the final date for payments the Federal Reserve Board wants to act, but cannot, because it is in a catatonic state, as are the leaders of every nation state in the world.
There will also be indications on September the 16th, he informed me some ten months ago, "Although September 30th will be the tipping point at which the tree's fate is determined, the branches will not hit the ground until October 7 and 27th and going on into November," he says.
Dr. Van de Meer correctly predicted the financial panic that started in September of 2008 (also 10 months in advance) and has made many other accurate predictions.
Others (real people) have predicted a collapse of some proportion taking place in late September to October. Maybe this is where Fulford is drawing his information. The blog wraps up with some accurate history of the Fed, information that is known to all conspiracy buffs wotth their internet connection.
Anyway, it would be interesting to run down the good Dr. Van de Meer.

Videos: The Best of BlizzCon 2011
It's that time of the year again when Blizzard makers of the popular gaming triumvirate of Warcraft, Diablo, and Starcraft fire up the dog and pony show in southern California and give eager gamers a taste at all the new titles, expansions, and cinematic trailers the company's been working on for the previous year.
The news coming out of BlizzCon should come as little surprise: The company's still working on Diablo 3, with an expected (but not announced) release date of early 2012. However, Blizzard did show off the contents and look of the game's Collector's Edition for the first time (currently priced at $99), wetting the whistles of the millions of gamers worldwide who have yet to get into the game's ongoing beta test.
Blizzard also announced the fourth expansion to its big but slowly declining MMO, World of Warcraft. The game's new Mists of Pandaria expansion will allow subscribers to blend their love of the Kung Fu Panda films with their MMO addictions, as giant pandas are going to be the game's newest playable race and monks, its newest class.
Also announced for Mists of Pandaria: pet fighting, or a new gameplay mechanic that borrows a page (if not the entire book) from Pokemon. The new system will allow players to train their previously cosmetic creatures and use them to battle other players' and NPC's pets and, yes, you will now be able to can "capture" wild pets to add them to your collection as well.
Of course, these aren't the only two big game announcements from Blizzard at this year's BlizzCon, nor are gaming announcements the only activities going on at the two-day event. For your one-stop shop for new Blizzard cinematics and funny BlizzCon moments, look no further than the videos featured below this text! Hey, they're a lot cheaper than buying a virtual ticket to Blizzard's big show, right?

Track Palin Arrested For Domestic Violence, Has Impeccable Timing
"When ma 'comes president, I'mma hit me whole bunches of women."
"Aww, who's a cute little baby I'm supposed to believe is my brother? Aww, yes…"
Because it's going to be a while until Bristol gets knocked up again while cheating on a Medal of Honor recipient, Sarah Palin endorsed Donald Trump for president this afternoon and was rewarded not even an hour later by news that her son Track Palin was arrested for domestic violence after punching his girlfriend in the face and drunkenly wielding a firearm. So at least he did it in the most Real America™ way possible. Gawker reports:
In a press release, Wasilla Police say they responded to a disturbance at around 10 p.m. last night, and that "an investigation revealed Track Palin had committed a domestic violence assault on a female, interfered with her ability to report a crime of domestic violence, and possessed a firearm while intoxicated." All three charges are misdemeanors.
Now, you're probably thinking, "Track's a grown man. What does this have to do with his mother?" and I'm glad you asked. You see, Sarah Palin belongs to a very special group of evangelical snake oil salesman who try to lure in people, and more importantly their money, by promising them all kinds of awesome goodies:
You'll be richer!
Your family will be happier!
Your kids will behave!
Your spouse will do whatever it is you want them to do that they're not doing, and yes, we're totally talking about sex stuff!
And the list goes on because Jesus' magic is whatever you need to pretend it is at any given moment. (Sprinkle it on desserts!) So when Sarah Palin steps onto a national stage and says, "Listen here, varmints, Donald Trump's the best rootin' tootin' candidate for president!" it's probably a good idea to take a step back and look at what's happened to literally everything she's touched and/or raised. From the violent domestic abuser son – Who may or may not have joined the military after being caught cutting brakes on a school bus. Just throwing that out there. – to the Abstinence Ambassador daughter who, as of this post, has shit out two kids with different dads all while blogging about the evils of secular living. I mean, Jesus Christ, there are 19 Duggar kids to the Palin's five, and so far only one of them has managed to step in as much shit as the Palins. These idiots are defying math now. Basic math.
Adding… Me as soon as I heard about all of this:

My husband loves blueberries and I love coconut… so this was my creation of blending the two together. I had no idea how it was going to turn out. But I have to say it is AMAZING and a new family favorite for sure. The cake is light and moist and the fresh berries are both tart and sweet all at the same time. While the crumble topping adds the perfect finishing touch… just trust me your family will love it.

- 2 cups flour
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/2 cup coconut
- 1/2 cup quick oats

Pour batter into your prepared 9×9 pan, smooth out into an even layer. Sprinkle the blueberries on top.

By Robert PinskySunday, August 19, 2007
Sometimes the ability to convey information compactly and quickly has moral grace. Economy in writing can put garrulous narration or evasive speechifying to shame. Here is the first poem in a new book by C. Dale Young:
"If God is Art, then what do we make
of Jasper Johns?" One never knows
what sort of question a patient will pose,
or how exactly one should answer.
Outside the window, snow on snow
began to answer the ground below
with nothing more than foolish questions.
We were no different. I asked again:
"Professor, have we eased the pain?"
Eventually, he'd answer me with:
"Tell me, young man, whom do you love?"

Faced with the prospect of decades in prison, Mr. Snowden panicked. Instead of waiting for the territory or its masters in Beijing to decide his fate, he packed his laptops and headed for Moscow. Now he gets to see a soft dictatorship (such a lovely phrase) up close. On Sunday, the willful naïfs from WikiLeaks who are "helping" Mr. Snowden said that Sheremetyevo airport would simply be a stopover. But why would the Russian government let him go before it has squeezed him dry? In interviews, Mr. Snowden has said he has plenty of secrets left on his hard drives, and there's no reason to doubt him. He has already disclosed details of American and British spying on a conference in 2009 in London.
Mr. Snowden has put himself in a terrible spot. Moscow will surely protect him for as long as it feels like irritating Washington. But by the time the Russians are finished sifting through his laptops, he'll be their spy, whether or not he meant to be. Beijing may have already pulled the same trick; some intelligence officers believe that Chinese spy agencies copied Mr. Snowden's hard drives during his Hong Kong stay.
We have treated a whistle-blower like a traitor — and thus made him a traitor. Great job. Did anyone in the White House or the N.S.A or the C.I.A. consider flying to Hong Kong and treating Mr. Snowden like a human being, offering him a chance to testify before Congress and a fair trial? Maybe he would have gone with President Vladimir V. Putin anyway, but at least he would have had another option. The secret keepers would have won too: a Congressional hearing would have been a small price to bring Mr. Snowden and those precious hard drives back to American soil.

Joe Hartzler faces a gilded antique corset that folds and flows outside the boundaries of a black frame. He dips a brush into a can of paint and draws a line of brilliant blue across the canvas to which the gilded cloth is attached.
It is the right accent.
The untitled piece is still unfinished but the idea for its completion has been applied. He taps the lid back onto the paint can and finds a place to sit.
Hartzler looks around the studio room and the chaotic swirl of objects it contains. Below the room is an industrial company. Heavy trucks come and go.
"I very much like to work with found objects," Hartzler says. "I hate to throw anything away, so I find a way to use things in different ways. I think, in ways, that that is the basis of the creative process.
"Most of my brush time is spent as a house painter doing both new and restoration work. I see more of a continuity and fluidity between the activities of the artisan and the fine artist than is generally acknowledged today.
"I'm trying to minimize the segue between my work as a craftsman and my work as an 'artist.' Aesthetically, all painting is decorative," he says.
Hartzler was born in Smithville and graduated from Smithville High School in 1977. He studied painting and sculpture at Kent State University for two years before going to work as a screen printer.
He began working in the house painting business in 1979 with his brothers, John and Jeff. In 1986, he started his own company, Aardvark Painting, and hasn't put down his brush or roller since that time.
Hartzler stands and begins to gesso a large canvas.
He speaks while he works: "Up until the turn of the last century, the creature we know as the interior decorator didn't exist as we know them today.
"Historically, artisans were generally responsible for the decorating work. Michelangelo wasn't exactly a house painter but neither did he show in galleries. The distinctions between the fine arts, the decorative arts and the crafts of the artisan were not as clearly drawn as they are today.
"For example," Hartzler says, "a lot of the portraits we see of wealthy early Americans were painted by the same people who painted and finished the house.
"Today everything is pre-mixed and sold to the do-it-yourself market. A lot of the skills the painter once had have been lost.

We can't get enough of Turkey this Thanksgiving!
We are all very thankful for Turkey this thanksgiving! Turkey continues to be delightful and tantalizing. We are currently in the small coastal village of Cirali. We are nestled between the magnificent Mt. Olympos to one side and ancient Roman ruins to the other. This Mt. Olympos is home of the
Yanartas or "burning rock". As legend tells it, the burning rock is the breath of the ferocious, epic beast, Chimaera. The Chimaera is part lion, part
goat and part snake. He was defeated on this mountain slope by the heroic Bellepheron from the back of the beloved Pegasus. What remains of the
Chimaera is the eternal flame that burns from crevices in the rock. These flames burn eternally and can even be viewed from sea. We reached the
flames just before sun set. Viewing the flames in darkness is magical and mystical. We were able to descend the mountain with the trusty help of
our MEC headlamps!
We left our last village, Kas, yesterday. We had a great stay there enjoying the village, the coast and our guest house. The owners of the guest
house made us feel so welcome and often shared with us typical Turkish food. They prepared an incredible bulgur dish one night. One of our
favorite Turkish delights is the Turkish pancake, Gozleme. We typically enjoy the pancakes stuffed with potato. Essentially a Gozleme is a gigantic,
thin pancake stuffed with a mixture, served hot with a salad. It is best enjoyed with a fresh orange juice or apple tea. Our crew agreed yesterday
that a fresh potato Gozleme is better than a perogy! Sorry Dauphin!
Our favorite activity in Kas was our sea kayak trip over the ancient "sunken" city of Semena. What remains of this city are a few ruins on each shore
and a bay in the middle. The city will lay forever under the Mediterranean sea. It was so interesting to spot the ruins that dotted the seascape; stairs, arches, waslls, baths and tombs. By afternoon, the waves had picked up quite a bit and Manas and I had quite a daring return to the shore!
Yesterday we drove past another interesting town known as Demre. What makes Demre so interesting and worthwhile to stop at is that it contains an ancient Byzantine church. The church features typical Byzantine architecture and fresco paintings. This church is so special because it is the church of Noel Baba or St. Nicholas.
Our beloved Santa Claus was born in Myra, Turkey in the 4th century and was well respected as a bishop here. St. Nicholas is also the patron saint of Russia and it is for this reason that thousands of Russians flock to these shores for a significant pilgrimage.
The visit to the ancient church was very interesting and Manas was left to wonder how this Turkish born saint ended up being a bearded fat guy in a red suit who now resides in the North Pole.
We will soon be heading inland to visit the much anticipated region of Capadocia. We have thoroughly enjoyed our holiday in ancient Lycia and
would love to come back soon. There is a 500 km trail system that covers this peninsula. It is called the Lycian Way and it is well marked. Along the trail you encounter ruins, villages, cliffs, mountain trails and beaches. We have walked on some of it and you can't help but to think of all the
people that followed that path before you.
Sorry that there are no photos for this entry, I am not having any luck uploading photos from this spot. For the time being, you will just have to
imagine the eternal flame of the chimaera, the ancient sunken city of Simena, the Byzantine church of Baba Noel and the smiles on our faces. We love you all and wish you a delightful thanksgiving. Who is eating Tofurkey in our honor this year???

The Art of Threading ®
The Art of Threading® is a state of the art system of hair removal that features the ancient technique of using cotton thread to remove hair quickly and precisely from the follicle. Prior to The Art of Threading®, threading was a street art form prevalent in India, Asia, Africa and the Middle East. Benefits:
Threading gives you the most accurate eyebrow shape with cleaner, straighter lines. Threading is the best method to shape eyebrows.
Threading is a precise method of hair removal that ensures the hair is removed from the follicle for lasting results
Better for Sensitive Skin- The chemicals present in wax can irritate the sensitive, thin skin around the eyes. Over time, waxing can result in skin loosening and the appearance of wrinkles or sagging skin.
No Rashes or Discoloration of Skin- Threading has little to no contact with the skin. It does not irritate the skin or remove the top layer like waxing does. The result of threading is fresh looking skin without the risk of rashes and acne breakouts.
The Art of Mehndi ®
The Art of Mehndi® in meaning varies from a simple temporary henna tatoo, to a celebration of women, hope, transition, growth, spirituality, good fortune, adornment and above all, pure beauty. Mehndi has been around for centuries, and is thought to bring good luck to the wearer. The Art of Mehndi® studies the history of design and symbolism, creating henna tatoos that are filled with meaning, and extraordinary beauty.
The Art of Glitter Mehndi allows you to create beautiful, sparkling body art that can be worn alone or to accent traditional mehndi designs.
Glitter Mehndi started as a new form of Mendi for South Asian brides, and has now become the most sought after service for special occasions. Glitter Mehndi can be applied in numerous, highly artistic ways, and can last up to 3 days. In addition, Glitter Mehndi can be adorned with bindi's, rhinestones and other body jewels to create spectacular body art.
The Art of Waxing
The Art of Waxing is a proprietary technique designed to provide the most hygienic, comfortable, long-lasting waxing experience.
The Art of Waxing technique is comfortable, results-oriented and suited for even the most sensitive skin. Our exclusive formula is imported from India, made from the finest honey, lemon and sugar. We apply our wax warm, then remove unwanted hair gently using 100% cotton fabric strips, which leaves the skin smooth and soft. The Art of Waxing technique has lasting, highly effective results, and is perfectly suited for full bikini, brazillian and body waxing.

Along with Brendon Dugan, these iconic acts are arriving in Taupo, New Zealand on March 22nd at the Taupo Golf Club for an afternoon of laughs, music and hopefully sun!

Southmoreland nixes renewal of membership in Pa. Association of Rural and Small Schools
The Southmoreland School Board voted not to renew its membership in the Pennsylvania Association of Rural and Small Schools and declined participation in the Pennsylvania Youth Survey.
These were among the motions taken at the board's meeting Aug. 15. Both passed by a 7-0 vote. School directors Ken Alt and Gail Rhodes were not in attendance.
The Pennsylvania Association of Rural and Small Schools was started by a group of public school superintendents who had real concerns for students in rural and small school districts in Pennsylvania. The focus of these concerns was in two primary areas: finance and quality education.
"I don't know what their success rate is, I don't what know their influence is," explained Superintendent John Molnar. "I don't know enough of the workings of the lobbyists in Harrisburg to make a recommendation."
The cost for the district to renew its membership in the group would have been $940. It was deemed that the district really didn't need to renew that membership.
"If we don't get anything back from them then we don't need to spend that money," said School Director James Beistel.
Fellow School Director Mike Bentz said the motion could be tabled to allow time to talk to local representatives and legislators to see if it was beneficial to remain affiliated with that association.
"It would already be out if they (were) doing so much for the school district," Bentz responded. "We shouldn't even have to go and ask questions about it if it's a good program."
The school district was involved with the association for a "number of years" said Molnar.
As for the Pennsylvania Youth Survey, it was felt the questions were of too much of a personal nature.
Molnar said after the meeting that questions dealt with issues such as a student's relationship with his or her parents or usage of chewing tobacco or alcohol.
"I was able to obtain a sample of this survey," Molnar said. "Based on some of the discussion we had (Aug. 1) over it, I'm recommending the board authorize administration to decline participation in the Pennsylvania Youth Survey."
According to literature from the Pennsylvania Commission of Crime and Delinquency the survey assesses the behaviors, attitudes and knowledge of students in sixth, eighth, 10th and 12th grades concerning alcohol, tobacco, other drugs, violence and other problem behaviors.
In other business:
•The board approved advertising in local newspapers for substitute van drivers and school security personnel.
"Right now, we're very low on van drivers and school security in terms of being able to fill those slots, especially substitute van drivers," Molnar said.
• The board approved entering into an agreement with Safe Schools Training of Cincinnati to proved mandated approved child abuse and reporting training.
"School districts have to provide three hours of training on the recognition and reporting of child abuse and that training has to be provided by a provider that is approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Education," Molnar said.
•Molnar told the board 141 children have enrolled in kindergarten for the upcoming school year.

Obama Can't Show Up for 40 Million Viewers Vibing Like Eeyore
Dear Obama Debate Prep Team, Sorry, dudes: you must feel like hell after last night.
Obama Speaks at LGBT Fundraiser:
How the President Wimped Out
LGBT activists hoped President Obama might say something new about his "evolving" stance on marriage equality when he addressed them at a New York fundraiser Thursday night. But the president showed he's only willing to extend enough support to keep the cash flowing.
As featured on MSNBC's Powerwall, in Salon's War Room, and cited in the LA Times' Top of the Ticket.
Barack Obama's Real Record on Gay Rights
We worked hard to elect Obama in 2008. Now we learn his view of same-sex marriage is only just 'evolving' – in time for 2012.

A man appeared to be bleeding after being stoned while carrying a cross through the street this morning in an attempt to spread the message of Easter.
The Redbridge Easter Parade committee staged a re-enactment of Jesus' final hours in High Road, Ilford, and encouraged members of the public to throw fake stones at the actor, in a move also intended to increase church attendance.
The event took place to promote an Easter Parade and festival taking place on Easter Monday (April 21).
Wilson Chowdhry, who played Jesus and is event manager for the parade, said: "The people of Ilford see murders all the time so I don't think the event really phased them particularly.
"But lots of people were taking photos and coming up to us asking what we were doing - it was a lot of fun.
"The public were both shocked and intrigued. People were taking pictures and videos and it was a great opportunity for us to invite people to attend the Easter Parade and learn more about the relevance of Christianity in modern society.
"It was hard for me, as I played Jesus and I think too many of the revellers enjoyed throwing the papier mâché rocks my daughter and I prepared the night before in my direction.
"Then again it was all done in good spirits.
"Lots of people think of Easter and they think of the Easter bunny. I hope the event encouraged people to come down to their local church and listen to the true message of Easter."

Megan has not spoken to her father in ten years.
Megan has three older sisters.
Opening numbers:
John Glover, who guest-starred in this episode as the psychic, Samuel Kraft, wanted to take a break from playing the bad guy (he plays Lex Luthor's father, Lionel, on the WB's Smallville). He took this part as a chance to play someone on the right side of the law.
Larry: To hold to one assumption, to exclude any and all contradictory data, that isn't science, that's politics.
Charlie: Let's all sit down at a ouija board and solve P vs NP once and for all.
(Don and Charlie are quarreling over the validity of the psychic's powers. A loud thud is heard in the background. The arguing stops.)
Don: That's mom's picture.
Charlie: Oh, don't start to say that meant something, okay?
Don: Come on, that's spooky.
Alan: You know your mother never liked it when you guys argued.
Larry: To misquote Shakespeare here, there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in all your mathematics.
Charlie: Shakespeare also had people sprouting donkey ears and wood fairies running through his forest.
Samuel Kraft: I feel a bit like a prized show dog and you're asking me to go fetch a stick.
Charlie: Ludicrous waste of taxpayer money.
Larry: No, no, no, don't be so quick to vilify here. I've done a little research myself, and I think it had some merit. Okay? The CIA recruited individuals who demonstrated psychic abilities...
(behind him Charlie motions as if to object, without turning around)
Larry: (waves a hand at Charlie) Don't.
Victor: Are you kidding me?
Colby: No. I got a whole 'nother kidding face.
Samuel Kraft: (to Charlie) So you wouldn't be impressed if I said I felt the presence of your mother standing beside you?
Don: (to Samuel Kraft) You're a suspect in a triple homicide. We're not here to promote your book.
Charlie: What flavor of crazy Kool-Aid do they make you drink when you join the Physics Department?

[Teacher-TalkNovel] Lesson One posting
Date: Mon Jun 27 2005 - 16:13:56 EDT
Hi to anybody out there.
I am talking this course for graduate credit and am posting my musings and
work from Workshop One.
Please excuse the lumping of feedback, but I couldn't decide what to
include and what not to, so here goes.
In Search of the Novel WK 1 Follow-up
It's always refreshing to hear authors acknowledge that the owner is the
Rewriting scenes as drama, solid idea for those with the talent. I can
relate to the teacher's sentiments that the kids might not have rehearsed
enough and the piece lacked polish. However, the student demonstrated
true learning. I have kids do movies that I get the same feelings—decent
work but a great learning experience for the kids. Performance does lead
to careful reading and analysis.
In the teacher's roundtable, the male writer talked about wanting to have
a genuine experience for the kids. I couldn't agree more, and that's why
I'm puzzled when I hear of teacher who refuse to accept a perspective from
a student who disagrees with their interpretation of the work.
I engage my students by doing creative projects. Usually, however, they do
two or three dimensional art or movies and relate them to either a major
course theme or a most important moment in the text.
Social & moral lessons? Teaching Greek mythology we focus much of the
time on an analysis of Greek moral code and social system construction.
We discuss all the important things: gender relationships, family,
fidelity, love, and heroic code. How have relationships changed over the
years? What does the culture value?
I like having the students lead the Socratic discussions. I have done
"fishbowl" activities, a critical friends group protocol. But in this
video, we see more students involved in the discussion. I do think it's
interesting that the technique is called Socratic, when Socrates in Plato
asks leading questions, ones that are not really open ended.
How does analyzing a novel help students develop personal identity and
skills? When students analyze the values of a book, it gives them an
opportunity to reflect on their own values and apply them to the book.
They can think about their place in their world. This skill helps breed
My classes are mostly student centered because I get bored otherwise.
Going further:
In order to increase ownership, I like the idea of having my students do
extemporaneous dramatic interpretations of the text. These wouldn't
necessarily take a lot of time, would be entertaining, and would force
students to demonstrate understanding. These could count as a quiz grade
I also like the idea of assigning student presnters more often, having
kids formally assigned to lead class. I already do a lot of activities
like this, but I could do different formats more often.
Lesson Plan for "Who Owns the Novel?"
To help students take ownership of their reading
LCD projector, laptop
1. Journal entry: What is your favorite song? Why? What comes to mind as
you listen to it? Do you have experiences that relate closely to the work?
2. Have students share their journal entries. Discuss how music can evoke
our own interpretation, including regarding lyrics.
3. Now discuss books. Are we allowed to form our own perspectives?
4. Show the opening segments of the first workshop, particularly Silko and
5. After viewing the segments, discuss how students' perspectives have
My own novel idea: Show the relationship between two males, showing how
two people can grow apart. One male would be entitled and self-righteous,
but the other would be down-to-earth and respectful

Cardinals play 28 innings of baseball in Britton
By Jay Davis
The Mobridge Cardinals had as long a baseball day as a team can have in Britton on Sunday. In completing one game and playing two more, the Cards were on the field for 28 innings. Unfortunately, all three games were losses.
Britton beat the Cardinals 9-5 in the regularly scheduled game.
"It wasn't too bad," said player/manager Ryan Hoffman. "We got 13 hits and scored five runs off their ace Justin Link."
Britton jumped ahead 4-0 with a run in the first and three more in the third.
Mobridge rallied with three in the fourth with key hits by Colton Good Shield and Greg Heyne.
Britton answered right back with three in their half of the fourth. The Lumberjacks added single runs in the fifth and sixth. The Cardinals scored one in the sixth and one in the eighth, but could not put up the crooked numbers needed to get back in the game.
Hoffman led Mobridge with three hits, including a double.
Scott Hoffman took the loss.
Alex Suther hit a pair of doubles to lead Britton.
Mobridge and Groton finished a game that was started in Mobridge on July 7, before playing a second game to finish the season series.
The teams were tied 4-4 in the fourth when rain put a stop to the game at Legion Memorial Field. The conclusion was a long one. The teams played 11 more innings before Groton won an 8-7, 15-inning game.
Heath Giedt and Tim Hanigan hit back-to-back doubles to plate the winning run in the top of the 15th inning.
Good Shield and Jon Schlomer had three hits each to pace the Cardinals.
Game two against Groton was another extra inning affair as Groton beat Mobridge 4-3 in eight innings.
"We did get tired," said Hoffman. "That was a lot of baseball."
Mobridge took a 2-0 lead in the sixth with Good Shield and Tyler Stenberg hits sparking the rally. Groton took the lead with three runs in the bottom half of the frame. The Cards tied the game at 3-3 when Schlomer led off with a single and came around to score.
After Mobridge left the go-ahead run on base in the top of the eighth, Groton won the game on a walk-off single by Zach Harry.
The Cardinals will round out the regular season against Redfield DQ in Redfield on Saturday. The district tournament and a possible trip to state starts Tuesday in Redfield.

#5: Johnson & Johnson
Current Dividend Yield: 3.6%
Performance So Far in 2012: -2%
Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) has raised dividends for 49 years in a row — almost as impressive as the aforementioned P&G. Over the past decade, the company has managed to boost distributions by over 12% per year — all while delivering a headline yield of about 3.6% right now.
The biggest dividend driver isn't prescription drug offerings like vaccines, but consumer health operations thanks to products like Band-Aid and Tylenol.
Revenue admittedly has been a bit stagnant at J&J during the past few years, and quality control issues have held back the stock. However, earnings per share continue to improve and a new leader in former Army Ranger Alex Gorsky might help heal J&J's image.
And if you believe projections, Johnson & Johnson could see a stunning 48% jump in earnings per share for fiscal 2012 compared with fiscal 2011. Throw in the fact that unlike other big pharma stocks, Johnson & Johnson is a diversified company with plenty of consumer offerings that will avoid painful patent expirations, and you have another plus.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott has hosed down speculation that a review of the demand-driven system of university places would lead to a return of capped enrolment numbers.
He also says the government has no plans to scrap Labor's student services and amenities fee.
Mr Abbott comments contradict those made by Education Minister Christopher Pyne earlier this week.
Mr Pyne said the amenities fee would be axed as early as next May's budget and a review was under way to ensure the uncapped system of places had not compromised quality.
Asked on Thursday if the Coalition was considering reintroducing the cap on places brought in by Labor, Mr Abbott said: "We are looking at this issue."
"The important thing is to ensure we maximize access to universities while at the same time maintaining and, wherever possible, improving their quality.
"That's why we are looking at this issue, but what we aren't going to do is compromise the commitments that we took to the people at the recent election."
Mr Abbott did not elaborate on what he believed those commitments to be, but ahead of the election Mr Pyne said there were no plans to re-impose caps on places. The Education Minister reiterated those comments this week.
Mr Abbott was also asked about the student services and amenities fee, which was brought in by Labor to revive campus services after the former Howard government scrapped compulsory student unionism.
Legislation prevents the fee being used to fund political activities.
Mr Pyne told The Australian Financial Review on Tuesday the levy would be scrapped, possibly as early as next May's budget.
But Mr Abbott told reporters in Melbourne on Thursday there were no immediate plans to do so.
"When the former government moved to re-impose compulsory student unionism, we obviously opposed it," he said.
"I have to say that there is a lot on our plate. We are going to be a very busy and active government over the next few years and this is not a priority for us and we have no plans for change in this area at this time."

To maximize eligibility for Federal, State, and Berry College financial assistance, you should complete the
Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Before completing the FAFSA, we encourage you to apply for a Federal Student Aid (FSA) I.D., which can be done
here. This is a requirement for students and parents. Your FSA I.D. is used to confirm your identity when accessing your financial aid information and electronically signing your federal student aid documents.
Complete the
Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The Berry College ID number 001554 should be entered when you list the schools where the information should be sent.
You will receive the results of your FAFSA in the form of a Student Aid Report (SAR) at the email address listed on the FAFSA approximately 4-6 days after electronic filing. The FAFSA becomes available on October 1st of each year.
Parents and students are encouraged to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool to access their tax return when filling the FAFSA. This will make the data as accurate as possible and expedite the process.
The Federal Processor selects a percentage of FAFSA filer to complete a process called "verification."

Rustenburg - An Amcu shop steward called for calm on Tuesday morning as tension continued to rise on the troubled platinum belt. The steward was addressing a group of striking miners as some of their colleagues began returning to work.
Police have moved reinforcements into Marikana in North West and the army has been placed on standby.
On Tuesday morning increased mine security vehicles were also patrolling as non-striking mine workers were escorted back to mine shafts.
Eyewitness News reporter Govan Whittles observed that striking mine workers had gathered nearby.
The added security comes as Lonmin and Impala Platinum reportedly pleaded with the government for an increase in police visibility after four Lonmin employees were killed in separate attacks over the past 72 hours. This as some workers started to return to work to meet the company's deadline for them to do so by tomorrow.
The Star understands that the army has been deployed to the area and are stationed at the Rustenburg police's public order base in the case of eventuality in Marikana.
Police spokesman Brigadier Thulani Ngubane said the soldiers would be on standby. "They are our supplementary forces. The operation is run by the SAPS," he said.
Over the past 72 hours, a 60-year-old miner was stabbed to death, another miner died after being set alight, and a third mineworker and his wife were strangled.
Fears of friction between striking miners and those wanting to resume work arose when the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (Amcu) objected to employers approaching miners with their wage offer directly in a bid to end the strike.
Impala Platinum, Anglo American Platinum and Lonmin had called on Amcu to exercise responsible leadership.
"We recognise the right to strike as a fundamental right of employees, a right which has been respected throughout the dispute," they said.
"But we have a responsibility to communicate directly with our employees… our employees wish to return to work but have expressed a fear of continued intimidation and violence."
No violence was reported overnight in the Rustenburg platinum belt.
The companies urged Amcu to recognise and uphold the rights of those who wanted to work.
Amcu members at Implats, Lonmin and Amplats have been on strike since January 23 demanding a basic salary of R12 500 a month.
The strike has cost the companies about R14.4 billion in revenue and workers have lost over R6.4bn in earnings.
The R12 500 demand stems from a violent wildcat strike in Marikana near Rustenburg in August 2012, during which Lonmin workers demanded that as a basic monthly salary.
Forty-four people were killed during the strike that year.
Thirty-four mineworkers were killed on August 16 when police fired on them while allegedly trying to disarm and disperse them. Ten people, including two policemen and two security guards, were killed during the preceding week.
President Jacob Zuma appointed retired judge Ian Farlam to chair a commission probing the 44 deaths.

12 March 2012
("the Group")
Trading Update
Begbies Traynor Group plc, the specialist professional services consultancy, in accordance with its financial calendar today issues a trading update for its third quarter ended 31 January 2012.
Group performance
Group profit from continuing operations (stated before amortisation and exceptional items) for the nine months ended 31 January 2012 has been in line with that achieved in the prior year comparative period. The outcome for the year will be dependent on performance in the final quarter, historically a busy trading period.
Continuing operations
The core insolvency and restructuring division has reported improved profits and margins for the first nine months of the financial year, reflecting the benefit of cost savings implemented in prior periods. Activity levels in the UK insolvency market remain subdued, due in part to the continuation of the benign financing environment of low interest rates, whilst the realisation of assets remains constrained.
In light of the trading environment, we continue to focus on our cost base. Headcount in insolvency has reduced from 501 at the last year end (30 April 2011) to 470 as at 31 January 2012, a reduction of 6.2%. Ongoing efficiency initiatives will incur exceptional costs in the second half of the current financial year with the benefit to be realised in future periods.
As stated in our half year results announcement in December 2011, the Global Risk Partners division has not yet replaced a number of large and profitable engagements, which were completed at the start of the financial year. The sales pipeline remains strong although any new engagements are not now expected to materially benefit the current financial year. We have continued to invest in the division through senior recruitment in the UK forensic business, the cost of which will have a short-term impact on profitability. Overall, the division is expected to generate a small loss in the second half of the financial year.
Discontinued operations
Since the half year results, we completed the disposal of the Channel Islands Insolvency and Restructuring business. We continue to make progress with the divestment of the Red Flag business and expect to complete a transaction by the end of the current financial year.
Net debt
The Board currently expects net debt at the end of the current financial year to be at a similar level to that at 31 October 2011, comfortably within the Group's banking facilities.
Commenting, Ric Traynor, Executive Chairman of Begbies Traynor Group, said:
"Our core insolvency business has maintained its market leading position and continues to benefit from cost savings, resulting in improved profits and margins. The Group outcome for the financial year as a whole will be dependent on the important final quarter's trading.
"Having made good progress with our disposal programme, we remain highly focussed on maximising the performance of the core businesses."

Even though the HTC EVO 4G LTE is buzzing throughout the Sprint universe, we still can't forget about the newest EVO branded device on the market – the HTC EVO Design 4G. Call it the baby EVO or whatever, but this pint sized smartphone is receiving a minor over-the-air update as we speak.
If you haven't done so already, you can manually check for the software update, version 2.12.651.8, if you haven't seen that notification hit your smartphone. Well, there's nothing particularly exciting about this latest one – that's because it mainly consists of security fixes and nothing more. Yeah, we know, we were all hoping for some better news like Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, but nonetheless, it is what it is. Therefore, we're certain that most handset owners will appreciative of it all.
Of course, owners are still gladly waiting for that next big one. On the other hand, that HTC EVO 4G LTE looks mightily tempting considering it's going to have both the latest version of Sense and Android out of the box. At this point, it's nothing more than a waiting game to see which one comes out first.
Lastly, it's worth noting that you might not see the update even if you manually check for it – that's because it's being released in stages according to Sprint.

Chariets Salon & Spa
Chariets Salon & Spa owners Keri and Jami became fast friends in beauty school while apprenticing together at the elbows of some of the industry's leading names. After graduating, the newly anointed stylists found themselves serving as independent contractors at The Bob Shop. Over martinis one night, they fatefully decided to found Chariets Salon & Spa, a name inspired by the Greek goddess of joy, charm, beauty, and martini bars.
Between the corner salon's baby-blue walls, Keri and Jami compose color services, precision cuts, and keratin treatments, spritzing heads with Sebastian and Aquage products. Each of their shears' deft movements are reflected in the salon's glossy, dark-hardwood floor, simulating the experience of being a spoon that's hovering over a large cup of coffee.

Body found of abducted cleric who always gave help
The Catholic Church in
The body of Fr Lionel Sham, 66, was discovered by police in Orange Farm, a sprawling informal settlement south of
The death follows the brutal murder of a priest from
Sham's cousin, John Sham, called The Times early yesterday morning to say that the priest had been abducted from his home, attached to the Our Lady of Africa church in Mohlakeng, outside Randfontein, west of
The family was hopeful that Sham would be found alive but late yesterday they were devastated when Sebokeng police told them that he had been murdered.
They are convinced that Sham was killed by someone to whom he had opened his door. He was known never to refuse help to those who asked for it.
His close friend, the Catholic Archbishop of
He was last seen alive when he presided over a wedding at 7pm on Friday night.
"On Saturday morning he was meant to attend a youth prayer meeting, but he did not show up, which was out of character ," Tlhagale said.
A spokesman for the SA Catholic Bishops' Conference, Fr Chris Townsend, said the priest from Klerksdorp, whose name he could not give The Times, was a young man murdered by a group of men to whom he had given a lift.
"He was stabbed repeatedly, bundled into the boot of his car and then buried in a shallow grave. The [killers] then drove to
"The shopkeeper became suspicious and alerted the police. They admitted to the police that they had killed the priest."
Parishioners discovered that Sham's car was missing on Saturday morning when they went to look for him.
They found blood and a knife in the priest's bathroom but no evidence of forced entry.
Later that morning, Sham's car was found crashed in Deneysville, near Vereeniging. A man police believe took part in the murder was dead in the white Toyota Corolla.
Later yesterday afternoon, police arrested a second suspect who led them to Orange Farm, said Captain Joseph Magoai
Before they learned of his death, Sham's family and parishioners gathered at the church to pray for their beloved priest.
Parishioner Ephraim Sebele, 24, told The Times he was "heartbroken".
"He was very kind, he gave people money and food whenever they needed help. But people took advantage of his kindness," he said.
John Sham said his cousin was a loving man who cared deeply about helping the needy.
JP de Andrade, who knew Sham for "many years", was deeply shaken on hearing of his murder.
"Two years ago, he was attacked at his parish in Westonaria and though he was upset by the experience he would not stop giving and welcoming people into his life and into his home," he said.
"Charities and his congregations were his life. He always dropped off food at soup kitchens and helped street children and poor communities."
Archbishop Tlhagale said "quite a few priests" had been "attacked and killed" in the "past two years".
"There is a perception that there is money in the Catholic Church, and it is likely that a priest will be alone in his house. The sheer impunity — there was a time when people respected clergy," he said.
Said Townsend: "The church stands with all who have fallen prey to crime. We commit ourselves to fighting crime in our sad society."
