What our customers are saying about us:
"I just want to tell you how much I enjoy shopping at LHF. Even though I had planned to stop in today...the email from you that highlighted Valentine's Day ideas, as well as the one from Emi, did the trick.
One of the reasons I love LHF is because all the employees are so nice and helpful. I'm in often enough to be on a first-name basis with many LHF employees. I don't know all of them by name, but today I got a lesson in Brie and other soft cheeses from Emi (and went away w/ some as well as some of the new rabbit pate). When I couldn't find beets, Emi went looking for Ria. Even though I got distracted with other things, Ria found me later with a couple of bunches of beets. Kate is always terrific, too. And everytime I refill my olive oil bottle from the big, bulk box, I want to call and thank you for suggesting that as the most economical choice.
Thanks for all you and everyone at LHF do to make food, and especially shopping for food, more enjoyable in SLC."

Adapt to change The game has become much more demanding now that there are unlimited substitutions, according to Danny Kerry, head coach for the women's GB team. "Players go on for intense bursts of 12-14 minutes instead of whole games, so speed endurance has become very important. Long runs in training are a thing of the past - now it's more sprint sessions of short, hard intervals."
Be balanced "Hockey is an asymmetrical sport, demanding large ranges of motion in a twisted position, so lumbar spine problems are common," Kerry says. "We do a lot of core stability work off the pitch - if your core is strong, it translates strength to the rest of your body and you're less likely to get injured."
Keep talking The key to good team communication is known as "vision and talk leadership". "This means that players who are off the ball and better able to see what's going on should verbalise it to those around them," Kerry says. "The whole team is the leader, rather than just one or two players."
Split up Playing is the most valuable training tool. "Rather than spending hours on skills drills, split the pitch up and get the team to play in small units of fours or fives," Kerry says. "That way, they get more touches on the ball and make more decisions compared with a full-sized game."
Live well Healthy living is key. "The wider lifestyle of a player has become much more important - if you're eating the wrong foods and drinking too much alcohol, you're not going to perform your best. Players should aim to live as healthily as possible at least 95% of the time, not just for the two days before a match."

San Diego Model Railroad Museum 30th Anniversary
When: 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday
Where: San Diego Model Railroad Museum, 1649 El Prado, Balboa Park.
Tickets: $7; free for kids ages 15 and younger when accompanied by an adult.
Phone: (619) 696-0199
Online: sdmrm.org
The San Diego Model Railroad Museum celebrates 30 years of tiny-train fun Saturday with a big celebration. This is obviously good news to Thomas the Tank Engine-loving families everywhere, but you don't necessarily have to be a railroad enthusiast to enjoy the festivities.
Here's what to expect, along with other train activities around town.
All aboard: The party starts at 11 a.m. and will feature behind-the-scenes tours, kids activities (yes, a Thomas table) and free cake. Children can also color any birthday wishes on a mural that will be on display through August. The festivities continue until 3:30 p.m.
Trivia car: What's a party without historians? There will be a few on hand to provide 30 little-known facts about the San Diego Model Railroad Museum and its history. Did you know the museum has more than 27,000 square feet of scale models, toy trains and more, making it the largest indoor museum of its kind? Neat.
Getting there: The museum is located on the lower level of Casa de Balboa on the Prado. Admission is $7 and free for children under age 15. Call (619) 696-0199 or check sdmrm.org for more information.
Hop on: Obviously, people can't ride on model trains. But if you're inspired to experience the feel of the tracks, walk over to the Balboa Park Miniature Railroad. It's located by the San Diego Zoo entrance, and for $2 you get to ride around a half-mile course that includes a tunnel, a bridge and even some (stuffed) animal passengers. The mini train runs Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. See balboapark.org for additional details.
Around town: You can also ride a steam, trolley or speeder train around Old Poway Park, 14134 Midland Road. The Poway-Midland Railroad departs every 15 minutes and has a different style of train going each weekend, depending on which day you go. Trains run on Saturdays and Sundays only (except second Sundays of the month), and prices range from 50 cents to $2.50. Call (858) 486-4063 or see powaymidlandrr.org for schedule.
Longer journeys: Smith Ranch in Julian has an old mining train that will take you on a scenic, 1½-hour trip over bridges and around curves. You can even choose to ride in a mine car and pan for gold nuggets. This adventure is $15 for adults, $12 for children and free for kids ages 2 and younger. Longer excursions are also available. Reservations for the train that runs Mondays through Saturdays can be made at (760) 765-2288 or pioneerways.com.Copyright © 2017, The San Diego Union-Tribune


text: Bujumbura - The Burundian authorities have stepped up repressive measures against civil society, the media and the political opposition since the last elections, Human Rights Watch said on Tuesday."With the elections over, Burundi has a perfect opportunity to reach out to its critics and to work with them to build a more inclusive, rights-respecting state," said Rona Peligal, Africa director at the New York-based rights group."But instead we are seeing arrests of journalists and opposition party members, and harassment of civil society, crushing hopes that this could be a new beginning for Burundi."Between May and September Burundi staged a series of polls, ranging from local to presidential. Most were boycotted by the opposition who accused the ruling party of rigging the vote.The report, based on more than 100 interviews with opposition parties, activists, journalists, government officials, diplomats, and election monitors, is titled: "Closing Doors?: The Narrowing of Democratic Space in Burundi".It documents abuses aimed at "silencing dissenting voices" and including torture, arbitrary arrests, harassment and banning of opposition activities.Critical views The government has prevented the main opposition group Alliance of Democrats for Change from carrying out its activities and has tried to infiltrate the main opposition National Liberation Forces (FNL) by encouraging dissident FNL members to set up splinter groups where government supporters play a role.Journalists and activists who express critical views are labelled political opponents and subjected to arrests and threats, HRW said.The rights group however acknowledged that Burundi has of late "shown some indications of openness", expressing willingness to engage in a dialogue with HRW for the first time since expelling the group's Burundi-based researcher in June, as the elections were getting under way.It also has taken some steps toward establishing institutional mechanisms to ensure accountability for human rights abuses, the rights group said.

Matt Damon changed into a suit for the premiere of Contagion in Venice this afternoon. His wife, Luciana, was by his side for the red carpet event and sparkled in a gold gown. Matt had his other leading lady, Gwyneth Paltrow, there for this morning's Contagion photo call at the Venice Film Festival, where they were joined by director Steven Soderbergh and costars Jennifer Ehle and Laurence Fishburne. Matt will be on the go again soon, since he'll be showing off the movie at the NYC premiere next week. Gwyneth, though, isn't expected to attend the Big Apple event.

BIIF baseball: Hilo hands HPA first league loss of season
HILO — Jodd Carter said it took some time — five-plus innings, to be exact — for Hilo to feel comfortable at the plate against Hawaii Preparatory Academy left-hander DJ Sekiya.
To hear coach Tony De Sa talk, the Vikings had been waiting for a breakout like this for almost a month.
Carter and Jalen Carvalho cracked back-to-back triples Monday to spur a five-run rally in the sixth, and Hilo handed Ka Makani their first Big Island Interscholastic Federation baseball loss, 9-5 at Wong Stadium.
"We waited for the right pitch and got our timing good," said Carter, who broke a 4-all tie with a drive to left field with the bases loaded to score three runs. "We had to wait on the fastball. Our timing was off."
The senior center fielder said many of the Vikings hitters were thrown off after facing hard-throwing Waiakea left-hander Kodi Medeiros on Friday.
'We had to adjust to DJ, and it took a while," he said.
Carter drove in four runs and got the win in relief for Hilo (6-2-1), despite allowing Braden Kojima's tying RBI single in the top of the sixth.
Mike Nakahara collected three hits for HPA (7-1), which still controls its destiny in Division II with big games on tap in Waimea against Konawaena (6-2) on Wednesday and Kamehameha (6-1-1) on Saturday. An outright champion will earn an automatic berth to the Hawaii High School Athletic Assocation championships.
"I was really proud of our team for coming back," HPA coach Jordan Hayslip said. "Hilo just hit the ball really well that last inning."
The Vikings finished with 11 hits against Sekiya, but the first six were all infield singles, including three bunts.
Sekiya hurt himself in the sixth by hitting Noah Higa-Gonsalves and Isaiah Banasan. After Micah Kaaukai singled to load the bases and Carter cleared them with his triple, Carvalho tripled to deep right, finishing 2 for 4 with two RBIs.
"It was a matter of staying back and driving the ball," Carvalho said. "He pitched it inside, and me and Jodd roped it.
"We knew HPA was undefeated, and we were bound to give them their first loss."
De Sa said he hadn't seen such timely hitting out of his team since a 13-3 victory against Kohala on March 19.
Carter, Carvalho and Noah Serrao, the Nos. 3-5 hitters, each drove in runs in the third when Hilo loaded the bases on a walk, a bunt single and an error on a bunt, taking a 4-1 lead.
Serrao finished with a double and two hits and two RBIs, Kaaukai went 2 for 3 with a run batted in and Higa-Gonsalves put down two bunt hits and scored twice.
Smallball is great, but De Sa was happy to see Hilo sting the ball.
"We finally got it going," he said. "Trying to set the tempo and get runners on base, then boom, boom, boom, drive them in."
Vikings freshman right-hander Joey Jarneski pitched 4 1/3 innings and left after Sekiya's RBI single cut Hilo's lead to 4-3. Jordan Tagawa induced an inning-ending double play in the fifth, but he was hurt in the sixth when Hilo committed two errors. Jarneski allowed six hits and three runs with a strikeout. Carter gave up Cyrus Inglis' run-scoring single in the seventh, but he registered two strikeouts in 1 1/3 inning.
HPA's Kalan Camero drove in a run in the second and singled and scored in the fifth. Camero, Kojima and Sekiya each posted two hits and an RBI for Ka Makani. In going the distance, Sekiya walked three and struck out two, and two of the runs he allowed were unearned.
Hilo 003 105 x — 9 11 3

When the largest fighting game tournament in the world comes to town, the best players travel far and wide in order to showcase their A-game — and sometimes, they don\'t.
At this year\'s Evolution 2014, Cloud 9\'s Mango was crowned repeat champion in Evolution Championship Series Super Smash Bros. Melee competition. The road to victory was a treacherous one, as Mango took on the best competition Melee has to offer. In fact, the entirety of the Super Smash Bros. Melee Top 8, the final portion of the bracket played out on Day 3, produced some of the most intense matches of Smash that the Internet has ever seen and peaked at over 138,000 viewers just on Twitch.tv alone.
Grand Finals was a repeat of Winner\'s Finals, in which Florida Jigglypuff Curse.Hungrybox forced a Game 5-only to fall to Mango\'s Fox on Yoshi\'s Story. Then, Hungrybox came back with a vengeance after defeating Armada in Loser\'s Finals to bring Mango to a Game 5 again in the first and only set of Grand Finals.
Mango\'s preparation for Hungrybox was evident, but the Jigglypuff proved that he was capable of keeping up. After a two-stock loss in Game 1, Hungrybox erupted in Game 2 with back-to-back rest kills on Dreamland. Mango would walk away with the game win, but that wasn\'t enough to keep the puff down — Hungrybox would rest for the win in Game 3 while landing back-to-back rests in Game 4 to help secure a second victory in the series. His valiant efforts would land him on Yoshi\'s Story for Game 5, unable to reset the bracket against the rampant offense of Mango\'s Fox. Hungrybox would lose three of his total nine losses in Top 8 on Yoshi\'s Story, two of these losses being in a Game 5 (Loser\'s Finals and Grand Finals) and against Mango.
While Mango may have walked away with the grand prize, the few finalists he had to square off against in Top 8 seemed just as poised to take first place as he was. Mango would lead in least amount of game losses (4), first kills (8), game wins while getting the first hit in the game (8), and winning while getting both the first hit and the first kill in the game (6); Hungrybox, however, led in game wins (9) and was second in getting first kills (7). Both Mango and Armada tied in first hits (9), while Armada tied with Hungrybox, PPMD, and Axe for second most wins while getting the first hit (3). Mango also tied in first with Hungrybox in wins while getting the first kill (6). Mango stood out in the first hit department by getting all of his first hits with lasers and nothing more, the only player to get all of his first hits with a projectile.
Game Wins, First Hits, and First Kills for Top 8 Players in order of descending Wins
Hungrybox may have nightmares about Yoshi\'s Story, but Mango is certainly sleeping well at night. He netted two wins on Yoshi\'s Story in the Top 8, as well as two wins on Dreamland and another two wins on Fountain of Dreams. Mango found further consistency in landing first hits and first kills. While the importance of first hits and first kills in Smash is debatable, Mango gained six wins when getting the first hit, six wins when getting the first kill, and six wins when getting both.
The rest of the bracket did not house slouches, of course. In particular, Axe, the Arizona Pikachu main sponsored by Mortality eSports, wowed audiences with his superb play against GameClucks\' Silentwolf and Armada. Axe\'s sub-minute four-stock against Silentwolf on Fountain of Dreams electrified the Internet and the momentum carried him into a tense Game 3 against Armada in Loser\'s Quarters. Only one stock separated Axe from a Loser\'s Semis match against Evil Genius\'s PPMD, but Armada shut down the people\'s champion and Arizona hopeful with a devastating up-throw to up-air string. Axe\'s Pikachu was a lightning-quick menace out of the gate in every game, posting four first hits and three first kills out of his six total Top 8 games. Further, all three of his wins involved gaining the first hit and he completely obliterated the bar by getting the most out of a first hit before taking any damage (two full stocks!).
Pulling back the foil, we can reveal some similarities and stark differences between the players that advanced into the final depths of the competition. Mango, Hungrybox, PPMD, and Silentwolf were the only players to use space animals (Fox and Falco). Out of these four, Mango gained nine first hits to PPMD\'s five, Hungrybox\'s four (though Hungrybox only used Falco and Fox in two of his eighteen total games in Top 8), and Silentwolf\'s one. PPMD managed three of his first hits with physical attacks and only one by laser (as opposed to Mango\'s aforementioned seven by laser).
Hungrybox found consistency elsewhere. He secured the first kill in six of his seven game wins and had the most wins on Dreamland (3). Hungrybox was also the only player to have at least three wins on an individual stage and at least three losses on an individual stage (Yoshi\'s Story). He was the only player in the entire Top 8 to play three characters at least once in a set (Jigglypuff, Fox, and Falco), though Armada was the only player to face his space animals.
Using a combination of Sheik and Marth and tying for fifth with Axe, Mew2King fell unusually flat in his Top 8 appearance. He posted zero wins, four losses, zero first hits, and only one first kill. He held his losses to only Fountain of Dreams and Battlefield, refusing to switch characters mid-set — Mango held off M2K\'s Marth twice on Fountain of Dreams in Winner\'s Semis before PPMD finished off M2K\'s Sheik in a quick 2-0 on Battlefield.
In the fast-paced world of competitive Super Smash Bros. Melee, a first hit or a first kill could swing the tide of a set or secure you a victory entirely. Again, while the significance of these factors is uncertain, it is still interesting to see how they may or may not play a role in the outcome of a particular game. First hits and first kills go beyond simply who ends up with the win at the end of the game — in many situations, a first hit is often the start of a long string of attacks and a lot of damage before the opponent can get their first hit on the initial player. Axe was able to muster two full stocks on Silentwolf in Game 2 of their set before ever taking damage and would win every game that he got the first hit in; Hungrybox\'s first hit in Game 1 of Winner\'s Finals against Mango led into a tech chase for an extremely early rest kill; Mango began Game 5 of Grand Finals against Hungrybox with a first hit into a string of 43% in damage. First kills were similarly common, as were game wins off of a first kill. Still, though it is true that many first hit situations result in minimal or negligible benefits, a majority of the Top 8 were able to gain traction in these situations.
With the numbers, the results of the Evo 2014 Super Smash Bros. Melee Top 8 paint an even more intriguing landscape of high level Smash competition. The numbers reveal that, though we can learn a lot from these kinds of observations, there are many more multitudes of factors, complexities, and depth involved in a game of Super Smash Bros. Melee that result in a victory or a loss. For what it\'s worth, taking a look at Smash competition from this perspective rather than by simply watching opens up so much more.

McKenzie Winkler only had one hit, but she made it count.
Five Gatesville batters contributed two hits apiece as the Hornets racked up 12 hits, including Winkler's three-run home run over the center-field wall to cap a five-run third inning, in a 14-3 run-rule victory in five innings over District 8-3A rival Lampasas on Friday.
Leadoff hitter Ashley Cook led the double-hit barrage with a 2-for-3 night, knocking in three runs, including capping the run-rule with a two-run triple in the bottom of the fifth.
Blayne McGee, Megan Chambers, Shaley Sutton, and Lauren Nichols also had two hits for Gatesville (12-12, 1-0). Chambers scored three runs and Sutton added two RBI in the lopsided win. Catheliene Garzinski was 2 for 3 with an RBI for Lampasas and Devin Peek also drove in a run.

Kenneth Schuyler Lynn, an author, editor and educator best known for his writings on American thought and his analytical studies of Mark Twain, Charlie Chaplin and Ernest Hemingway, died June 24 at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. He was 78 and lived in Washington.
The cause was complications from leukemia, his family said.
Dr. Lynn was the former Lovejoy professor of history at Johns Hopkins University, where he taught from 1969 until he was given emeritus status in 1989. He previously was a professor of English and chairman of an American civilization program at Harvard University.
His ''Hemingway,'' published in 1987, paid special attention to the fact that when Hemingway was a young boy he was dressed in girls' clothing, leading, in his opinion, to possible sexual confusion in later life. Dianne Johnson, reviewing the book in The New York Times, wrote that ''at the same time that the author gives a rather extreme interpretation of Hemingway's start in life, the concreteness of this biography lends a certain convincing reality others have lacked.''
''In the final analysis,'' she added, ''whatever Mr. Lynn means by sexual confusion or sexual duality seems finally not scandalous but, instead, a compliment to Hemingway.''
A native of Cleveland, Dr. Lynn graduated from Harvard in 1947. He received his Ph.D. there in the history of American civilization in 1954, when he joined the Harvard faculty as an instructor.
Dr. Lynn is survived by his wife of 53 years, Valerie Roemer Lynn; a son, Andrew S., of Manhattan; two daughters, Betsy, of Manhattan and Sophia, of Washington; a sister, Marcey L. Krum of Ohio; and three grandchildren.Continue reading the main story

Loose Fur is not a Jim O'Rourke album but that's only true in the sense that Magritte's famous painting The Treason of Images (which features the line "This is not a pipe" written in French below an obvious pipe) is not a pipe. After all, everything the guitarist, tape splicer, record producer, composer and fifth member of Sonic Youth touches becomes, in some sense, a Jim O'Rourke album. The musician has put his inimitable stamp on everyone from Stereolab to Smog, most recently gaining attention for mixing Wilco's critically acclaimed Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, wherein he touched up that band's rootsy Americana with his signature approach to noise and space. On Loose Fur, an oblique reflection of the latter project (some of the recordings actually predate the Foxtrot sessions), O'Rourke collaborates with Wilco front man Jeff Tweedy and drummer Glenn Kotche on six twisted pop songs.

Throughout the album, O'Rourke and Tweedy swap vocal duties, each bringing his own peculiar lilt to abstract lyrics like "If I sleep too much/A good Chinese apple/Shines to the touch/Of my sleeve" (from the Tweedy-led "Chinese Apple"). The real action is in the music, which swells with its players' restless whimsy. Garage rock's single-minded drone gives way to acoustic flights of finger-picking; taut power chords unfold over loose-limbed jazz acrobatics. Even the aforementioned "Chinese Apple," which begins with three minutes of acoustic plucking and Tweedy's whisper, goes swimming in roiled waters, with whitecapped guitars consuming each other. But beneath all the slack and rumple, precision reigns.

How's that again?
Here's what the wise man of management means: If a decision is important and risky, it should be controversial.
"There is a very old saying," Drucker continues. "It goes back all the way to Aristotle and later became an axiom of the early Christian church: 'In essentials, unity; inaction, freedom; and in all things, trust.' Trust requires that dissent come out in the open."
Every organization needs a healthy atmosphere for dissent if it wants innovation and commitment. You have to encourage honest and constructive disagreement—and you must never punish naysayers—precisely because you want it understood that everybody on your team is operating in good faith. Without genuine encouragement, people have a tendency to avoid tough decisions.
Another reason to encourage dissent: You don't want everybody thinking the same way. What you do want is a diversity of opinion, flexibility in thinking and an openness to change.
Finally, open discussion uncovers flaws. After vigorously vetting an idea, your decision won't have to be "sold" to anybody. Improvements on it can be incorporated, objections addressed and the decision itself will become a sturdy, three-legged stool instead of a wobbly pogo stick.

O'Neill blunt as Northern Ireland handed 'spanking' by Holland
Michael O'Neill conceded that pitting his under-strength Northern Ireland side against a Holland team in the final stages of their Euro 2012 preparations made for a "mismatch" and a "spanking" at the Amsterdam ArenA.
The Oranje eased to a 6-0 victory, with Robin van Persie and Ibrahim Afellay both scoring twice alongside efforts from Wesley Sneijder and Ron Vlaar.
O'Neill, without much of his first-choice XI to injury and unavailability, was forced to go in with an inexperienced group - including debutants Will Grigg, James McPake and Daniel Lafferty - and admitted they came up well short.
"The gulf in class was evident between the two teams," he told Press Association Sport.
"We had a mismatch in terms of preparation. We have players who haven't played for five or six weeks since their season finished and Holland have been together for three weeks preparing for a major tournament.
"It was difficult for us being a bit off the pace against a team who were right on top of their game.
"We took a bit of a spanking, no doubt about that, but we'll lick our wounds and deal with that.
"My selection problems are obvious. We have 10 players out and they're 10 of our more senior players.
"When you come into an arena like this, with 52,000 people, against a team of Holland's class you would like to have as many of your big guns as possible."
There has been some criticism at the decision to schedule a fixture against one of the best sides in the world in a post-season friendly window where Northern Ireland have traditionally struggled with withdrawals.
O'Neill, who was taking charge of the national side for just the second time, stopped short of outright criticism but suggested he the timing of the match had not helped him.
"Losing key players is frustrating for any manager but the main lesson for us is to be a bit more sensible in the scheduling of our fixtures," he added.
The former Shamrock Rovers boss attached no blame to his players for the crushing nature of the result, instead choosing to praise a Dutch side he feels can go on to win the European Championship.
"Sometimes you can't help this from happening, it's not as though we just allowed it happen," he said.
"We worked diligently for three days on how we felt we could nullify them but when you get Arjen Robben, Robin van Persie, Ibrahim Afellay and Wesley Sneijder on top of their game, Holland can be very hard to contain.
"It looks like they have got their preparation exactly right and they look like a team going in to the tournament capable of winning it.
"A lot better teams than us have struggled to contain Holland."
Holland manager Bert van Marwijk was cautiously optimistic about his side's prospects in Poland and Ukraine.
He declined to talk up his side as potential tournament winners but is happy that they are a team going in the right direction.
"We are improving, that's the most important thing," he said.
"I don't know if we are ready (to win it) but we are getting better. I have been very happy with the team in the last three weeks and I think preparations have been very good."

CJ-4 oil for older flat tappet engines.. - 01/04/14 11:03 PM
Hey all... I was wondering if today's CJ-4 HDEO lubes have enough anti-wear additives to protect older engines with flat tappet cams? I know that the CJ-4 HDEO's have reduced amounts of certain additives compared to older CI-4 version. I got asked this question today by a friend who has an older muscle car with a flat tappet motor. He was told that he should still run a ZDDP additive with a current CJ-4 lube if he chooses to run a diesel motor oil. Are CI-4 oils even available anymore besides from Amsoil?

Most of them are stretchy, so I would say their size range is 6-10. I charge $100 to rent a dress if it comes back clean, and $150 if I have to clean it myself. I'll post the pictures of the dresses in this thread.

Orphans. Refugees. Wars. Floods. Elderly people in need. The classic women we salute in our November issue don't have time to bemoan the ways of the world; they're too busy changing it.
It is to the quiet passion of these untiring women that we dedicate this issue, and that we honor the nominees selected as recipients of a 2007 Traditional Home Classic Woman Award. On these pages, you'll meet our five national honorees, nominated by readers from around the country, recognized at a ceremony in New York City on October 10, and celebrated here.
But other unsung heroines you told us about deserve accolades, too. For many, charity began at home after they suffered personal travails. But as they began rescuing others in circumstances similar to their own, their efforts gathered momentum and spread throughout their communities and even around the globe.
Consider Betty Jo Knott of Orange Park, Florida, whose daughter Rhonda, now an adult, was born with cerebral palsy and brain damage. Refusing to settle for what others told her to expect, she taught Rhonda to walk, started a preschool for children with multiple handicaps, and cofounded an agency that offers camps, a day treatment program, and residential group homes for special-needs children and adults.
In New York, empty-nester Colleen Knauf was ready to kick back and play golf. That is, until she helped her church resettle a Somalian family. Eventually, her refugee center moved from her garage and became Saint's Place, where services include language tutoring and child care.
Out in the Northwest, Zöe Higheagle-Strong of the Nez Percé tribe and husband Mack Strong of the Seattle Seahawks founded Team-Works Academy and After School Program to assist Native American youth at risk for suicide and drug, alcohol, and academic problems. In her spare time, Zöe is a college student and mother of two busy boys.
Former model Allison Clarke began Flashes of Hope in Cleveland when her son underwent cancer treatments and she realized that professional photographs could make children feel dazzling during difficult experiences. We could go on, but like Allison, who is taking her program national, you get the picture. As novelist Virginia Woolf wrote, "As a woman, I have no country. As a woman, my country is the world."

Kendrapara, Aug 14 (UNI) The Orissa government has planned to relocate the 1200 year-old Panchubarahi at Satabhaya in Kendrapara district, facing constant threat of sea erosion.
District Magistrate Sisirkanta Panda said the temple would be relocated at a place where 483 families of Satabhaya and Kanhupur villages would be rehabilitated.
Mr Panda said the state government had planned to relocate the ancient temple under the rehabilitation project meant for the two sea erosion prone villages after tidal waves ingressed into the sanctum sanctorum of the temple at regular intervals recently.
'' If steps are not taken now then there is every possibility that the temple would be lost in the Bay of Bengal forever,'' the District Magistrate said.
Official sources said the state government had planned to entrust the Archeology department to relocate the temple at one of the four alternative locations identified by the government, to rehabiliate the villagers of Satabhaya and Kahnupur.
'' If everything goes as per plan, then the Panchubarahai temple would be the first shrine in the state to be relocated to save it from sea erosion,'' sources said.
Males are debarred from entering into the sanctum sanctorum of the temple while the deities were taking bath and only a female member of the tribal 'SABAR caste' has got the exclusive right to perform the daily rituals.
Built by the Bahumakar dynasty in the Satabhaya village the temple was located three km away from the Bay of Bengal a decade ago. But due to the erratic behaviour of the sea, the temple is now only some feet away from the Bay of Bengal.
The villagers who have unflinching faith in the power of the deity believe no calamity can harm them till Ma Panchubarai was there.

Ed Jaworek flew bombers and transports in WW II, Berlin Airlift, Korea and Cuban Missile Crisis
Ed Jaworek was a co-pilot who flew a Mitchell B-25 twin-engine attack bomber on low-level combat missions for the 8th Air Force in Europe during World War II. He took part in the Berlin Air Lift, in 1949 and piloted a C-46 twin-engine "Commando" transport in and out of Berlin. When the Korean war rolled around, in the 1950s, he flew a medical air transport C-47 "Gooney Bird" during the last months of that war. A C-119 "Flying Boxcar" was his plane during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962.
All four brothers in the Jaworek family of Gainesville, N.Y. were in the service in World War II. In addition to Ed, Chet served with Gen. George Patton's 3rd Army, Hank was a Marine who fought the Japanese in the Aleutian Island invasion and Vin was a crew chief on a B-29 bomber flying missions over Japan during the last months of the Second World War.
Ed's military service began at Carlstrom Field in Arcadia, Fla. where he took primary flight training in a Stearman PT-17 biplane.
"It was hot but we had beautiful weather when I was checked out during primary flight training in a PT-17 in Arcadia in 1942," Jaworek recalls 70 years later. We flew 39 hours to get our wings and a promotion to 2nd lieutenant.
"We lived in tents on base and had our own mess hall right there. We never did get into town," he said.
"I took advanced training at Bennet Field, Ga. and flew an AT-6 "Texan" trainer. It was sometime after that I was introduced to the B-25 "Mitchell" bomber. "It was noisy, but she was a good plane.
"We flew from Westover Air Force Base, Mass. to Tulle, Greenland and from there to Ireland and finally to Londonderry Air Force Base, about 20 miles outside London, England," the 91-year-old former major explained.
"I was in the 434th Bomb Group, 8th Air Force, Jaworek said. "All we did was a little bombing in France, Netherlands, Poland and Germany.
"We provided tactical air support for Gen. Bradley's 1st Army and Gen. Patton's 3rd Army. We used 50 and 100 pound bombs to bomb bridges, troop movements, ammo dumps and artillery positions.
"Stuttguart, Germany is the bombing run I remember best. We bombed the hell out of that city on a number of occasions," he said. "There was a lot of flak from German 88 anti-aircraft guns. I got hit in the right side of my face with shrapnel that came in the plane's side window.
"Our B-25 lost its hydraulics on the way home. Despite the fact the flight engineer poured a couple of extra gallons of hydraulic fluid into the system we couldn't get the plane's wheels down when we returned.
"We belly landed the plane at Londonderry and tore up the underside of the bomber. However, nobody on board was seriously hurt in the crash," Jaworek said.
He and the other four members of his B-25 crew spent the last eight months of the war attacking Hitler's diminishing forces throughout Europe. When it was over he and his buddies went home and joined the Air Force Reserve.
When the the Soviet Union blockaded Berlin and U.N. forces had to launch the "Berlin Airlift" to feed the capital city's people, Jaworek was called back into the service to fly food and coal to the beleaguered Berliners.
"I flew a C-46 transport into Berlin toward the end of the airlift," he recalled. "It was fly in, drop your stuff off, and get out of there. We would't even get out of the plane. We'd have a cup of coffee and maybe a sandwich in the plane and leave."
It wasn't too long after the Soviets capitulated in Berlin that the Korean War broke out in June 1950.
"I got called back in the Air Force and flew C-47 twin-engine transports in Korea. It was a medical air transport plane I was flying for the 17th Medical VAT," he said. "We flew out of a town just north of Seoul I can't recall anymore. We took patients and R and R people to Clark Air Force Base in the Philippines. We'd fly back to Korea with soldiers and Marines on board.
A decade later Jaworek was called back into the regular Air Force and took part in the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.
"At that time I was flying C-119 'Boxcar.' It was a paratroop carrier. I picked up a couple of loads of 82nd and 101st Airborne troopers and was going to drop them into Cuba when the whole thing was called off," Jaworek said.
He retired from the Air Force Reserve in 1975 with 12 years of regular Air Force service since World War II and the remainder of his time in the reserves. Jaworek went to work for the Erie Township Tax Collector where he spent 24 years of his working life.
In 1993 he moved to Port Charlotte and retired. He has been married three times and has 10 grown children: Pete, Robert, Ed, Dave, Jim, Gary, George, Kelly, Steve and Dorothy.

Church gives Osseo schools lunch money for struggling families
There are many families in the Osseo School District who don't quite qualify for free or reduced lunches, but still need the financial help. Passion, a local church, is trying to fill that gap.
According to the Bible, Jesus fed 5,000 people with only five loaves of bread and two fish. Pastor Jonathan Brozozog is trying to do something like that. His church recently started a program called "School Lunch Matters," promising to give $1,500 each month, no strings attached, to the Osseo School District.
"I just think with all the things under-privileged kids have to worry about, what if the one thing they don't have to worry about was lunch," Brozozog said.
Forty percent of the families in the district are on free or reduced lunches and then there's another group that tends to go unnoticed. About 1,320 families don't quite qualify, but still need the financial help, running negative balances on lunch accounts because they're never turned away.
School leaders say this ongoing gift will help eliminate $12,000 remaining in negative lunch balances this year, helping the district avoid a financial hit. Brozozog says this commitment is also helping relieve a burden on him.
On Sundays, he leads Passion church inside the auditorium of Maple Grove High School, one of the larger schools in the district. The pastor says it's hard to worship, knowing the problem is just down the hallway.
"We don't need to go to another country to meet a need, there's a need right in the same room," he said.
While he hopes other donors jump aboard to help sustain the program, Brozozog says he'll be there as long as there's a need.

Workers' Compensation Attorney in North Carolina
Committed to getting you the benefits you deserve
Workers' compensation is a state-run program designed to provide compensation to employees who suffer injury or illness on the job. If you have been injured at work, you should speak with an attorney about filing for benefits through the North Carolina workers' compensation system. To recover Workers' compensation benefits, you must establish two things:
- You were employed when the injury took place.
- The injury was a direct result of your employment. This means your injuries must have been caused by the tasks you were required to perform as part of your job.
Examples of workers' comp accidents
Construction accidents are responsible for the filing of many workers' comp claims each year in North Carolina. Ladder and scaffolding falls and falling debris are especially dangerous for construction workers. These types of accidents can cause severe head and back injuries.
Workers also can suffer injury because of building collapses, radiation exposure, asbestos exposure and fires or explosions. Such accidents are capable of causing life-changing injuries, so victims should always talk to an experienced lawyer before filing for workers' compensation.
Types of workers' compensation benefits
Workers' compensation benefits pay for current and future medical costs resulting from your injuries as well as lost wages. Many people who suffer an injury are no longer able to work, at least for a while. With the help of workers' compensation benefits, however, injured workers can continue to receive an income even though they are no longer able to work.
You should be aware that if you apply for workers' compensation benefits, you can't sue your employer for additional damages in a civil lawsuit.
North Carolina workers' compensation lawyer
At Lanier Law Group, P.A., we are committed to helping people throughout North Carolina take advantage of workers' compensation benefits. Our attorneys offer you:
- Personal attention. At the Lanier Law Group, P.A., you're a person, not a number. You work with an attorney whose goal is to help you receive the compensation you may deserve.
- Accessibility. With offices in Burlington, Greensboro, Greenville, Wilmington, Winston-Salem, Asheville, Fayetteville, Durham, Raleigh, Charlotte and Jamestown, you'll find an attorney close to you. We keep our doors open to help you when you need it most.
- Fierce defense. When you hire Lanier Law Group, P.A., you're hiring a heavyweight. We fight tenaciously on your behalf in boardrooms and courtrooms throughout the state.
Whether your employer is obstructing your effort to receive benefits, your application for benefits has been denied or you simply need help in general, don't hesitate to contact an experienced North Carolina workers' compensation attorney at our office today. We help clients throughout the entire state of North Carolina, and have offices in Burlington, Greensboro, Greenville, Wilmington, Winston-Salem, Asheville, Fayetteville, Durham, Raleigh, Charlotte and Jamestown.
We help you understand workers' compensation
When you have been injured on-the-job, you may be unsure of what to do. It's likely that you have been forced to endure the costs of medical treatment and loss of income, so you should not hesitate to explore your rights to recover compensation from your employer through workers' compensation insurance. If your claim has been denied, you should know that this is not the end of the road. With the help of an experienced attorney from our firm, you may receive the compensation you may deserve, through appeals and a thorough investigation of your case. For additional information about the process of filing for workers comp and the benefits of doing so, visit our firm's workers' compensation website today. There you will find the resources you need to pursue your claim.

Fed Labors to Get Its Message Out
Federal Reserve officials, who meet next week to ponder monetary policy, have signaled they aim to stick with Chairman Ben Bernanke's plan to buy $600 billion in long-term U.S. Treasury bonds. But they are struggling to find a coherent way to explain that—and other touchy issues they face in coming months—to the public.
Mr. Bernanke has promoted more open discussion of policy issues, both inside the Fed and outside, in contrast to predecessors Alan Greenspan and Paul Volcker. Most Fed officials welcome that. But following stiff criticism, both domestically and internationally, to the new round of bond-buying—some of it fueled by public misgivings by some Fed officials, including Fed governor Kevin Warsh and some regional Fed bank presidents—the central bank is reviewing its communications practices.
Among the options: Agreeing that Mr. Bernanke will be the first Fed official to talk publicly after each policy meeting to explain the committee's consensus. Now, individual members of the Federal Open Market Committee sometimes air their personal views about monetary policy without regard to whether the Fed chairman has spoken publicly on a decision.
With no immediate policy decision to make at its Jan. 26-27 meeting, the FOMC—the Fed governors in Washington and the presidents of the 12 regional Fed banks—is planning to focus on long-term growth prospects for the U.S. economy. Committee members will also share their own updated economic forecasts, in preparation for the Fed's semi-annual report to Congress next month.
Fed officials spent several months ahead of their formal November meeting signaling they were to going to launch a new round of bond-buying to push down long-term interest rates and bolster a struggling recovery. Despite this, the announcement triggered sharp criticism, both domestically and internationally.
The backlash has since quieted, but Fed officials remain unsettled by the attacks. Markets generally understood the Fed's goals, but criticism from some lawmakers—mostly Republicans—spurred doubts among bond traders about the Fed's ability to expand its bond-buying beyond the $600 million, if necessary. That, some Fed officials say, damped the beneficial impact of the move on long-term interest rates.
"I think part of the challenge for the Fed is we're used to communicating with the markets because it's very important for us to make sure that we have the right impact on markets," Narayana Kocherlakota, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, said in a recent interview. "I'm not sure we're as gifted and talented at explaining for a broader set of Americans. Especially when you're doing something new, that kind of communication is very, very important."
At their mid-December meeting, according to minutes released subsequently, a number of officials said long-term interest rates had risen, in part, because investors had scaled back their expectations of the eventual size of the Fed bond-buying program. "Several meeting participants mentioned the communications challenges faced in conducting effective policy, including the need to clearly convey the Committee's views while appropriately airing individual perspectives," according to minutes of the meeting released early this month.
Fed officials also have been troubled by accounts—in The Wall Street Journal, among other places—that revealed some of their internal deliberations. In early November, according to minutes, the committee agreed to "a review of...communications guidelines with the aim of ensuring that the public is well-informed about monetary policy issues while preserving the necessary confidentiality of policy discussions." Fed Vice Chairman Janet Yellen is heading a subcommittee to conduct the review.
In October, during a videoconference, officials discussed whether Mr. Bernanke should hold "occasional press briefings to provide more detailed information to the public regarding the committee's assessment of the outlook and its policy decision making," according to minutes of that meeting.
Having the Fed chairman speak first after a committee decision would allow him to highlight the group's consensus in public, delivering a coherent message before other officials speak. To that end, the president of the European Central Bank holds a press conference after each of its meetings.
Fed officials also are looking for ways to encourage central-bank policy makers to present the group's rationale—essentially delivering something akin to talking points—before offering their individual views. They want to ensure that members can still debate policy issues in public without hindering the group's communications about the Fed's direction.
Since the announcement of the Fed's bond-buying program, the Fed has returned to alternative forms of communicating with the public that it began using during the financial crisis. Mr. Bernanke last month offered a second interview to CBS's "60 Minutes," in which he sought to explain the bond-buying program to the general public. His first interview on the program came in March 2009.
A week after the Fed's next policy meeting, on Feb. 3, Mr. Bernanke plans to field questions from journalists at the National Press Club. He also appeared there in February 2009.
Corrections & Amplifications
The Federal Reserve purchased about $225 billion in long-term U.S. Treasurys between Nov. 10 and Jan. 14, some as part of its plan to expand its Treasury holdings by $600 billion and some as part of its plan to replace mortgage-backed securities that have been paid off. A Jan. 11 story on WSJ.com said all $225 billion was part of the $600-billion purchase.

SHOPPERS are spitting chips over the rising cost of washed potatoes amid reduced supplies.
Disgruntled customers have reported $12 price tags for 3kg bags of basic cleanskin spuds at some supermarkets.
Loose potato prices at some Victorian retailers have climbed by up to 20 per cent and could rise further.
Industry body AUSVEG spokesman Luke Raggart said a summer heatwave and extreme wind had disrupted harvests and planting in the production heartland of South Australia.
It could be May or June before regular supply resumed, he said.
But Coles spokeswoman Anna Kelly said supply was "now starting to return to normal and we are continuing to work closely with our suppliers as we recover from these challenging weather conditions".
South Australia produces 80 per cent of the nation's fresh washed potatoes.
Mr Raggart said average loose washed potato prices could rise up to 30 per cent to $4.50 a kilogram.
But brushed potatoes, grown in several states, including Victoria, were relatively dirt cheap for about $2 a kilo.
"If anything, there is an oversupply of those," Mr Raggart said.
Farmers were unlikely to see a cent of any extra charges imposed on consumers.
"Prices paid at the farmgate have been stagnant for some time," Mr Raggart said.
Greengrocer Cosimo Patti, part owner of La Manna Fresh in Brunswick, said shelf prices for quality washed white and desiree potatoes had risen about 50c-70c a kilo due to higher wholesale charges.

By Kathryn Blaze Carlson and Randy Boswell
Canadians elected a historic government to office on Monday, handing the Conservatives their long-coveted majority and promoting the NDP to Official Opposition status for the first time ever.
The Liberals were reduced to less than half the seats they won in the last election, and the Bloc Quebecois dwindled to just a handful of seats in a province that, for the first time in 20 years, handed the majority of its seats to a federalist party.
The damage to the Liberals and Bloc was so severe that even leaders Michael Ignatieff and Gilles Duceppe were on track to lose their seats in Ontario and Quebec. Mr. Duceppe, in fact, immediately announced his resignation as leader of the sovereigntist party, declaring in his concession speech: "I am leaving, but others will follow, until Quebec becomes a country."
Mr. Ignatieff did not offer his concession in his speech but announced a 10:00 a.m. news conference. Sources say that Mr. Ignatieff would offer his resignation then and stay on until a new leader was elected.
With all 308 ridings reporting as of 11:50 p.m. EST, the Tories were leading or had won 165 seats — well past the 155 needed for a majority — and the NDP were leading or had won 104 ridings — nearly tripling the 36 seats it gleaned in 2008. A decimated Liberal Party was on track to win just 35 seats, and the Bloc Quebecois were poised to glean just three.
Green Party leader Elizabeth May was on track to make a historic gain by capturing her party's first elected seat, set to knock out Tory incumbent Gary Lunn in the B.C. riding of Saanich-Gulf Islands.
Late into Monday night, both the Conservatives and NDP were picking up seats everywhere from a wounded, Ignatieff-led Liberal party that lost five of its east coast MPs and dozens of others throughout Ontario and Quebec.
Mr. Ignatieff, whose future with the party is uncertain at best, told supporters he would "accept responsibility for what's occurred," and said there is still a need for a centrist party — a clear jab at suggestions that the NDP and Liberals should unite under one centre-left camp.
The "orange tide" that pushed Jack Layton's NDP to unprecedented levels of popular support ahead of the vote also swept parts of Atlantic Canada and delivered two new seats to the party. The party's momentum carried westward across Quebec and Ontario, catapulting the party's seat count — never higher than 43 in its history — to at least double that number.
The initial NDP gains — one seat in Nova Scotia and one in Newfoundland — both came at the expense of the Liberals, as did three seats grabbed by the Conservatives in the eastern provinces, two in New Brunswick and one in Labrador. Indeed, Conservative leader Stephen Harper emerged the victor in Atlantic Canada — a small but mighty 32-seat region long held by the Liberals, who looked set to lose upward of a third of their caucus.
The New Democrats also stood to make massive gains in Quebec, winning possibly dozens of new seats to add to its single incumbent, Thomas Mulcair in Outremont. Meanwhile, the NDP's surging fortunes nationally suggested the party might build significantly on its complement of 17 MPs in Ontario — including Mr. Layton and his wife, Olivia Chow, in two downtown Toronto ridings.
At the same time, however, potential vote-splitting between NDP and Liberal candidates had raised the possibility that the Conservatives could benefit and add more Ontario members to their ranks — enough, it seemed, to secure the party its targeted majority.
The Conservative stranglehold on the three Prairie provinces, where the party held 48 of the region's 56 seats before the election, was expected to be challenged by the NDP's rise.
At the start of the campaign, the New Democrats had just three seats in Manitoba and one in Alberta. The Liberals held two in Manitoba and one in Saskatchewan, where veteran MP Ralph Goodale was expected to be re-elected.
The Conservatives commanded 27 of Alberta's 28 seats prior to the election — including Harper's home constituency of Calgary Southwest — though former cabinet minister Jim Prentice's resignation last year had left his seat vacant.
In B.C., a key battleground for the three main federalist parties, the Conservatives' solid block of 22 seats after the 2008 election initially suggested growth potential if the Tories could challenge the nine NDP and five Liberal incumbents. But again, the NDP's rise in the polls in the final week of the campaign appeared to indicate the tables might be turned on the Tories in that province.
Even during the closing stretch of the tumultuous campaign, it was unclear which of the party's messages had resonated most with an electorate that, on balance, did not want this 41st election in the first place.
In television ads and at campaign rallies, Mr. Harper pitched his party as the most reliable economic steward to govern through country through a fragile recovery. Mr. Ignatieff told Canadians to "Rise up" and oust the undemocratic Tories.
Mr. Layton, with his folksy smile and his cane, seemed to have a monopoly on likeability and hope, appearing ever the fighter after his recent hip surgery and public battle with prostate cancer. Mr. Duceppe, meantime, ran what one former Bloc MP called a "constipated" campaign, ramping up his efforts only once it became abundantly clear that the NDP could usurp more than half his seats.
The leaders faced down scandals, too.
Mr. Harper defended himself against the Bruce Carson affair, a leaked Auditor General report, a press conference by former Tory MP Helena Guergis who, running as an Independent Conservative, lost her long-held Simcoe-Grey seat to the Tories. Mr. Ignatieff, for his part, botched the coalition question out of the gate — analysts will remember to the "coalition monkey" — and then struggled to deliver his party's message.
In broader terms, the 2011 election campaign was notable for its apparent re-invigorating of the country's political process. After the 2008 election's record-setting low voter turnout — just 58.8 per cent nationally — this year's campaign was highlighted by student "vote mobs" aimed at banishing youth apathy from Canadian democracy, and the unprecedented use of social media, particularly Twitter, in spreading election news and driving debate.

There are a few families who run the planet. They are the Rockafellers, Rothchilds, Morgans and recently the Bush family. One sect of this group known as the illuminati have been planning to join all the countries of the world together to be ruled by one supreme set of leaders. These leaders would then force the population of the world into forced labor to serve the richest of the filthy rich.
Recent events have been moving the new world order plans in the wrong direction, as the Bush family got a little over zealous by invading Iraq ahead of schedule.
The plan was originally to convert the countries of Europe into a European Union and get one currency (the euro). Then do the same to the Countries in the Americas and join America, Canada, and Mexico into a North American Union.
After these steps were complete, the 2 unions would join as one through the United Nations as a governing body.
It was though by some that the rest of the countries in the world would fall easily into the World Union when threatened with Isolationist policies of UN sanctions and refusal to purchase oil.
When the newly inducted Bush family decided to go after Iraq they delayed the Arab Union which was scheduled to follow. Now Arab nations will want nothing to do with the American plans for a New World Order because the Bushes created a rift between America and Muslims. The attacks of 9-11 were designed to create a feeling world wide of sorrow for America, causing the sympathies of all nation to want to help America. Bush saw Iraq as a threat to the plans and felt they were so small an invasion would be over looked as it would only last a few weeks. Now the problems Bush created are going to require at least a decade to reverse if not more.
Mean while on the home front the American people (75%) are against the war. Fearing a new "Revolution" the leaders of the NWO have decided that if they do not allow the peoples vote to count this election, there may be a taking up of arms and a revolt against the government.
A member of the Rockafeller family was quoted as saying, "we need to give up some gained ground if we want to take it back with in 40 years" Feeling the American public is starting to wake up, all plans have been put on hold and a non CFR/NWO candidate will be allowed the White House for 1 term, possibly 2. "This type of give and take is essential to the survival of the "family"" said Rockafeller.
So Ron Paul supporters will get to vote and have it count in this election. It is still possible for another candidate to win since the voting machines will not be tampered with this time. However the "family" is spreading the word to the other candidates to back down a bit and fumble every now and then.

The Drug Enforcement Administration said Tuesday it is investigating doctors affiliated with the San Diego Chargers and Padres to verify the accuracy of controlled substance inventories, records, reports and other documents required to be kept under the Controlled Substances Act.
Agency spokeswoman Amy Roderick said 10 administrative inspection warrants were served within San Diego County, including at the offices of the Chargers and Padres, where records and inventories were checked.
There currently are no administrative charges, criminal charges or indictments pending for any of the physicians or pharmacies where the warrants were served, she said.
The Chargers recently released safety Kevin Ellison, who was arrested in May in Redondo Beach on suspicion of possessing a controlled substance. Police said a search of Ellison's vehicle turned up 100 pills of Vicodin, which is a controlled substance.
"In regards to the ongoing investigation involving Kevin Ellison, the Vicodin in Kevin's possession was not provided by the Chargers, its physicians or anyone affiliated with the team," the team said in a statement released Tuesday night.
The Chargers said they are cooperating with the investigation.
The Padres also said in a statement that they are cooperating with the DEA, and that they have been told that none of their players or front-office employees are being investigated.

A&W Architektur und Wohnen magazine has honoured the Italian designer Gaetano Pesce as Designer of the Year 2006. On this occasion, red dot presents a profile of this versatile artist.
Born in La Spezia, Italy, in 1939, Gaetano Pesce was trained at the University of Venice Faculty of Architecture and has since been working as an artist, designer and architect all over the world, from Europe and Japan to the United States and Brazil. His work is considered unconventional, even controversial. Described by prominent architecture critic Herbert Muschamp as the architectural equivalent of a brainstorm, Pesce today can look back on more than 40 years of successful interdisciplinary practice.
One of his most famous industrial designs is the UP series, which includes a voluptuously shaped armchair that invokes the soft forms of the female body. Manufacturers like B&B Italia, Knoll, Cassina and Vitra have produced his furniture designs. As an architect, he realised buildings such as the Organic Building in Osaka, Japan. For the past 30 years, I have been trying to give architecture back its capacity to be useful, Pesce recently said on the subject of his work.
Since 1980, Gaetano Pesce has been living in New York and from his office in Manhattan he worked for the advertising agency TWBA/Chiat Day and many others. Pesce has served as a guest professor in many institutions, including Cooper Union in New York. Pesces objects are part of the permanent collection of many renowned museums such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. In 1996, he was honoured with a comprehensive career retrospective at the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris.
From the beginning, Pesce has always looked for new materials and unconventional, unique designs. His entire, multi-faceted work reflects this non-conventionalist spirit and approach: Modernism is less a style than a method for interpreting the present and prescribing a future in which individuality is preserved and celebrated. And explaining on his search for variety, Pesce says: People are all different. So why should the objects we surround ourselves with all be the same?

Better than regular a q-tip
By Lane
from Mountain View, AR
I used this in an adult workshop for dripping alcohol onto acrylic (this makes very cool halo effects). They are so much nicer than standard q-tips. I will use them with K-12 classes too. They cost a lot more than regular q-tips but if you don't waste them they are still a good deal. The length really does make a difference.
Really good for the price
By Kate
from Long Beach, NJ
I use this product as I would use Q-tips. But this product provides a larger hadle for better precision.
Fun beginner's supply
from Fredericksburg, VA
Great for intro to monotype/monoprint. My son had a blast making prints with these and so did I. However, it may be more cost-effective for us to buy Q-tips. But if you're not going to use them for every print project you do, they're very helpful to have on hand.

Johannesburg - The SA Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) on Wednesday urged the justice department to fast track the combating of torture bill to comply with its international obligations and prohibit acts of torture."Currently, the act of torture is not a recognised statutory crime in South Africa," said commission spokesperson Vincent Moaga in a statement."Torture legislation is needed [so] that the criminal justice system can deal more effectively with acts of torture."The comments come after the correctional services department and police launched an investigation into the conduct of six warders, accused of shocking a prisoner with an electrified riot shield at the Pretoria Central Prison.The probe was initiated after a sound recording of what is claimed to be warders shocking a prisoner was smuggled out of prison and aired on Radio 702.Prisons' dept doing internal probePolice spokesperson Wanda Olivier told the broadcaster a case of assault had been opened and that arrests were imminent.Olivier was not immediately available for comment.Correctional services spokesperson Phumlani Ximiya said an internal investigation was underway.The Democratic Alliance condemned the incident, and said it would raise the issue with the Portfolio Committee on Correctional Services when next it meets."The use of any form of torture is completely unacceptable," said MP James Selfe in a statement."It simply brutalises inmates...and makes their reintegration into society more difficult."He said torture of inmates was likely to evoke violent responses."From the information at our disposal, it would seem that this was not an isolated incident...that the practice had been going on for some time, and that a number of people were implicated," he said.
I'm positive the torture bill will not come as fast as the info bill. They will tell us they are still trying to define "International obligations".
@ Mandla. Love it!
I hope the following methods were included in the list of torture, telesales, long queues at home affairs and SARS, holding on for TELKOM call centre, expecting a call back from Jo'burg City and some others
@ Advocate. Definitely not, or otherwise they would be reported to the International Criminal court for abuse.
Haha...I will sign such a bill
i am not condoning the action but what promted it in the first place, and the fact it was recorded indicates to premeditation
SAHRC your international commission never complained about george w and his water boarding methods.
To be clear here...have we gone so far down the mental drain in our thinking that we actually need a LAW in order to prevent torture? Are you freak'ing serious?! Can't we just NOT TORTURE people? For F sakes! Mark my words, we are going to destroy our country all in the name of political correctness. Common sense people, common sense...wake up!
Government needs it to protect themselves from future prosecution and unlikely, but worthy, jailtime.
When has any African government honoured any bill ? What they say and what they do, are, and always will be, two different things.
Eg. The ANC promised us a decent, accountable government, free from corruption, nepotism, and other forms of crime.
What have we actualy got ?
"Torture legislation is needed [so] that the criminal justice system can deal more effectively with acts of torture." to protect who??? The criminals who steal, rape and murder for the fun of it?? Who have no problem to rape and murder a 93year old or a baby of 1? Who have no problem shooting you if you do not give them your hard earned money? Oh, yes please.. they do need much more protection, hurry up with that bill
