BAGHDAD -- Iraq's political system fell deeper into sectarian turmoil Saturday as its largest Sunni bloc boycotted parliament, refusing to continue until its leader Adnan al-Dulaimi returned from what they called house arrest.
Al-Dulaimi, a critic of the Shiite-led government, has been inside his Baghdad home since Friday, shortly after his son and about 40 members of his staff and security team were detained in relation to car bombs and killings nearby. Iraqi forces with U.S. military assistance asked the Accordance Front leader to stay inside for safety reasons, the U.S. military said, but Sunni leaders said his absence, and that of his daughter legislator Asmaa al-Dulaimi was forced.
During an impassioned argument that spoke to rivalries between Shiites and Sunnis, parliament members disagreed about the terms of al-Dulaimi's absence, whether it was legal to keep him from parliament and whether they should even be discussing the issue during a criminal investigation.
"This is not a political issue, it is not a sectarian issue," said Sadiq al-Rikabi, adviser to Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. "We should respect the authority of the judicial system."
Speaker Mahmoud al-Mashhadani, a member of the Accordance Front, said al-Maliki had ordered the Iraqi squad to protect al-Dulaimi, but security forces told him al-Dulaimi was under arrest.
"That means the home arrest was imposed by the field leaders, not by the orders of al-Maliki, and that is dangerous precedent," al-Mashhadani said.
Parliament's minister of state, Safa al-Safi, a Shiite, defended the Shiite government, saying that al-Dulaimi isn't on official house arrest and the incidents near al-Dulaimi's office are still under investigation.
After the debate, members of the 44-seat Sunni block left. They have not said when they will return.
A statement from the Accordance Front said al-Dulaimi's absence and the detentions would cause political tension at a time of relative peace and security in Baghdad's neighborhoods.
"In these times, we see the security forces fabricate such a crisis and try to market it so it will leave behind it an atmosphere of chaos and security confusion," the statement read.
Al-Dulaimi couldn't be reached for comment. Sunnis around Iraq condemned what they called the house arrest. Sofyan al-Jobori, the spokesman of People of Iraq Conference, said al-Dulaimi supporters plan to stage a protest Sunday.
Accordance Front member Harith al-Obeidi said al-Dulaimi is expected to return on Sunday, but his followers wouldn't enter until he arrives.
"I think, for myself, this is a home arrest, but the government doesn't want to acknowledge that publicly," al-Obeidi said. "I believe that the government issued these orders but they didn't want to announce that because this a big step and a dangerous one against a parliament member. If we just let it pass, simply, it will happen again, again, again."

text: Did you know that it is unlawful to have a family portrait made by a professional photographer on our county forest preserves? Currently, the only way a photographer would be allowed to provide this rite of passage of family life would be to pay a $200 filming permit designed for large movie and production companies. At next week's May 31 board meeting of the DuPage County Forest Preserve Commission, they will be considering a change that will allow for one of several options proposed by district staff. Options ranging from asking the clients or photographers to purchase a special picnic permit or a one year permit with restrictions are on the table.

Stossel ... my hero .... (sometimes)
Today I came across a fantastic article that draws conclusions from firearm ownership data collected by the United Nations (!). I suspect few of us would trust data collected by the United Nations, but the results of the data will surprise none of us: countries with more guns also have lower homicide rates, less corruption, better economic conditions, and less suicide.
See Pajamas Media » UN Ignores Its Own Data to Promote Gun Ban » Print
Imagine that. More guns = less corruption. I'd hate to see what would have been if our finding fathers had not given us the 2nd amendment.
Very informative.
Different from the normal BS I'm used to hearing.

On January 6, 2017, a senseless tragedy stole the lives of five people who were traveling through Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. Esteban Santiago used a gun from his checked luggage in the baggage claim area to fire several rounds of ammunition. Unsuspecting travelers scrambled to take cover behind luggage carts and carousels, laying face-down on the ground with nowhere to run from the rampant gunfire.
After authorities swooped in and arrested him, all in all eight people were injured and five people died. Four of the five victims have been identified and it was revealed that all were at the airport with their spouses that day to embark on vacation cruises with family.
Here are four of the five victims and their heartbreaking stories.
Olga Woltering
In Florida to celebrate husband Ralph's 90th birthday with a cruise, it was discovered that the Georgia couple changed their travel plans to arrive earlier in Florida that day to avoid an ice storm. Active in her church, Olga, 84, was fondly remembered by her parish priest, Father Fernando Molina-Restrepo, as told to People magazine: "She was one of the most joyful, loving, caring and committed people I have ever met."
Michael Oehme
Michael Oehme and his wife Kari were traveling from Iowa to Florida to enjoy a Caribbean cruise when the shots rang out. Kari was also shot in the shoulder and neck and is expected to make a full recovery. The heartbroken widow has lost her best friend in this unthinkable tragedy. Kari's friend Adam Angeroth told People magazine of the couple: "They were like peanut butter and jelly." He added: "She is one of the happiest people I know. He was pretty quiet, pretty upbeat."
Terry Andres
Happily married for 40 years, Virginia couple Terry and Ann Andres were at the airport that tragic day to celebrate his 63rd birthday by going on a cruise. Terry was fatally shot in the airport. The loving father and grandfather from Virginia always made it know that Ann was his "soulmate." Daughter Ryan Kim told the Palm Beach Post: "I know that everyone always says that people are the greatest in the world, but he was the greatest person you could know. He never had a horrible word to say about anyone or anything."
Shirley Timmons
Ohio couple Shirley and husband Steve were in town to celebrate their 51st wedding anniversary on a cruise with family when the horrifying shooting claimed her life. Steve was also shot in the face and has been in a coma ever since. Shirley's grandson Steve Reineccius told CNN: "She was the most loving, passionate mother who had a love for life and truly sparkled. She will continue to sparkle through her husband, mother, three daughters, and eight grandchildren."

THE UN will be asked to remind Australia that it must share and not shift the responsibility of refugee protection.
In an address to the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva late on Friday, Emily Howie of Australia's Human Rights Law Centre will voice concern about the "unlawful and increasingly harsh and punitive treatment" of asylum seekers arriving by boat.
She plans to detail aspects of the the Abbott government's Operation Sovereign Borders, including the practice of boat tow-backs, as well as mandatory detention and agreements with neighbouring countries to prevent boats reaching Australia.
"In addition to mistreating those who arrive, Australia is now actively preventing others from coming," Ms Howie will say.
"By seeking to prevent asylum seekers from arriving and outsourcing its obligations in respect of those that do, Australia is setting an alarming global precedent that must be condemned."
Ms Howie will also mention the death of Iranian asylum seeker Reza Berati, who was killed during a February 17 riot at the processing centre on Manus Island.
"We call on the Human Rights Council and member states to remind Australia that refugee protection is a global challenge," Ms Howie will tell the council.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9 (UPI) -- The late Steve Jobs, co-founder of the U.S. computer giant Apple, had faults in his personal life but was a business visionary, associates told the FBI.
The 191 pages of information (http://vault.fbi.gov/steve-jobs) the FBI collected on Jobs was made public Thursday.
"In 1991, Jobs was considered for an appointed position on the U.S. President's Export Council," the FBI said on its Web site. "This release consists of the FBI's 1991 background investigation of Jobs for that position and a 1985 investigation of a bomb threat against Apple.
Jobs died in October after a bout with pancreatic cancer.
The redacted material indicated former co-workers spoke favorably about Jobs' character, reputation, associates and loyalty, and recommended him for the government position, which the FBI said was a post on the Export Council.
However, other former associates and co-workers spoke of Jobs' experimentation with drugs, such as marijuana, LSD and hashish.
One interviewee said during the late 1960s and early 1970s, "Mr. Jobs may have experimented with illegal drugs, having come from that generation," but couldn't provide further details, the document indicated.
Several people characterized Jobs as "a deceptive individual who is not completely forthright and honest," saying that Jobs "will twist the truth and distort reality in order to achieve his goals."
Others reported that Jobs fathered a child out of wedlock and at first did not pay child support but years later was more supportive of the mother and child.
Several people commented on Jobs' drive, willfulness and stubbornness, saying they believe that is why he was successful. Some said he cared about employees and was "sympathetic to the problems of others."
One person interviewed, who called Jobs "callous" and "shallow" in personal relationships while "visionary" and "charismatic" in business, said she thought he is an extremely bright and competent person who would serve well in a position of trust and confidence by his sense of vision … along with his indefatigable energy," the file read.
Despite their misgivings, all those interviewed by the FBI said they would "highly recommend the appointee for a position of trust and confidence with the United States government."
The file noted Jobs graduated from high school with a 2.65 grade point average on a 4.0 scale.

Discussion in 'Basses [BG]' started by audreycashin, Feb 28, 2014.
The second link says I need permission to view it. But otherwise, cool bass!
fixed, thanks!
The neck looks fantastic! Do you mind if I ask how much you paid for it? Another TB'er purchased one a week or so ago and was concerned that he overpaid.
that was me...
OH! Haha, my bad. I thought this was an unusual coincidence. Then yeah, I'd say you got a screaming deal. That looks fantastic. I'd kill for one of those.
thought i wanted a sabre... then i saw this
That's an awesome bass! The Cutlass is on my bass bucket list. And you stole that thing, congrats... and I hate you
Yeah, that was a score. Congratulations!
thanks guys! rescued another closet queen from a bad set up
Gorgeous bass. A Cutlass would probably be the only MM I'd be interested in. Just about the weirdest way I've ever seen someone post images though, haha.
couldn't get them to upload and lost patience..... :scowl:
Photobucket is pretty useful in this. They even have an automated bulk uploader program that periodically checks a designated shared folder and uploads any new photos into their own respective online folders. They even provide a direct image link, so all you have to do is , and voila. Easily linkable, automatically resized pics, perfect for occasions such as these.
I use drive/keep exclusively for cloud storage (even though windows is cramming SkyDrive down our throats) but it's pretty crap for image hosting/sharing.
(As an aside, I named my laptop F***box, so if you look at my image urls the root is always laced with obscenities. Just kind of a happy accident, really, and it brings me much joy.)
that would bring me much joy also....
thanks rojo!

Alex Jones is a long time ... a really long time racist and white power dude. He, George Noory and Ian Punett were actually the incubators for the Tea Party and the NeoConfederacy movement. Alex has used the N word numerous times on his show (in the early days) and is accused of physically assaulting a reporter.
The Illuminati conspiracy crap doesn't concern me so much, other than it's just an acceptable visage for the ugly Anti-Semitic, Jews rule the world theory. It's that Jones is actively engaging in establishing a Shadow Government to replace what he has described as the "Black KKK".
I think it's a bit shameful that Hartmann gave this piece of crud any more air time. It's one thing to interview a Libertarian or Creationist, but Jones is pure evil and is bent taking this country back to before the Civil Rights Movement.
What's next a Neo-Nazi? Come on Thom, you have more class than that.
for Political fingers: Thank you for the clear eyed undersanding here. Really all one has to do is look into the confederate constitution and note the differences between that and the US Constitution. Draw a short straight line from there to the tea party, the Pauls of Texas and Kentucky and what free trade/free market looks like when the corporations don't even have to provide housing for their slaves. Also the Know Nothing party (Kentucky) just before the US civil war is an eye opener on the current interest in so-called free trade/free market as well. Jones truly is pure evil and it is a shame that the majority of citizens haven't the interest to find out why their knee jerks every time Jones plays them for sentimental emotional sleepwalkers.
And yes, why does Thom entertain this depraved person at all? I thought we have learned that you don't give air time to terrorists.
Alex Jones is a squirrel, but he was right about Obama's servitude to the banksters early on:
The film is wingnutty, particularly in the second half--but considering when it was published, and considering the source, it nailed the essential problem with the Liar-in-Chief: He's a tool of the financial criminals, put there to do their bidding at the expense of We the People.
Jones has some good points about 9/11, too--at least he doesn't buy into the official pack of lies.
Just sayin'...

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp teased by Jamie Carragher in cheeky clip from playing days
Coming off the back of an impressive 5-1 demolition of newly-promoted Hull at Anfield at the weekend, Klopp's men lie third in the table after six games – a full nine places higher than the same point last season.
But he is all too aware that there are still plenty of games left to play this season.
"It is as good as it should be. We are a good football side but we have to improve," Klopp added.
"Not just in set-pieces, but at a lot of things. We did well against Hull and now Swansea is the next challenge and it is a big challenge.
"It feels good at the moment, it is better that we are optimistic, but nothing has happened really."

Cal Ripken
UTICA, N.Y.–After a quarter of a century, Utica's professional baseball team will take the field for the 2002 season and beyond in a different town, with a different name and under new ownership.
Utica Blue Sox owner Bob Fowler has agreed to sell the short-season team for about $3 million to Ripken Baseball, headed by baseball icon Cal Ripken Jr., who will move it to his hometown of Aberdeen, Md.
"Really, I think after 17 years, it just wasn't fun anymore for me," Fowler said Wednesday afternoon at a news conference at Hotel Utica.
Thus, the team will begin a new era north of Baltimore as the New York-Penn League affiliate of the Orioles. It will leave the sometimes-criticized Donovan Stadium at Murnane Field for the 6,000-seat Ripken Stadium, which is under construction. The new team hasn't been named publicly.
The final piece of the drawn-out negotiation process that was largely shielded from the media fell into place Tuesday evening. Fowler and New York-Penn League president Ben Hayes flew to Utica from Florida early Wednesday morning to break the news.
The major sticking point was the proximity of Aberdeen to a separate minor league franchise, the Carolina League's Wilmington Blue Rocks, which led to a territorial dispute that had to be settled before the deal could be finalized.
Ripken, whose playing career ended after 21 seasons with his retirement in October, said he didn't view the Utica transaction as an early progression toward getting a full-season team at a higher classification.
"I'm very happy with the short-season format and the entry level into professional baseball," said Ripken, whose complex in Aberdeen also will include a youth baseball academy with six ballparks modeled after major league stadiums. The centerpiece of the project will be a youth-sized version of Camden Yards named after his father that will be the permanent home of the Cal Ripken World Series.
"What's happening with the complex is we're teaching baseball," Ripken said. "We're also trying to get USA Baseball to relocate, and a short-season team fits well. I like the format, I like the 38 games, I like the flexibility of utilizing the stadium for teaching and other events. I'm very content with that."
Ripken removed his biggest obstacle in putting a team in his hometown, the proximity of Class A Wilmington in Delaware, by agreeing to a "partnership" with the franchise that's still being developed. It could include joint ticket packages and promotions, along with an agreement by the future Hall of Famer to conduct youth baseball clinics in the area.
Matt Minker, president of the Blue Rocks, met with Ripken shortly before the Super Bowl to establish the basis of their partnership. NY-P president Hayes and CL president John Hopkins later gave their approval.
"Clinics would be very high on the list because of the priority on children, but we're still very much in the preliminary stages," Minker said. "From the day Cal and I first met, I think we saw eye-to-eye. We're both interested in what's best for affiliated baseball, and we're both committed to kids. Who better to teach kids than Cal Ripken?
"He and I really worked through things on a very easy and positive manner. We're going to try to make both teams better and serve the communities as best we can."
Said Ripken: "Matt agreed with me on the value of having stadiums within 35 minutes, right off I-95. I shared with him the plans to have additional events, possibly international competitions, possibly different teachings in different stadiums. We explored all of that. Instead of looking at it as competition of sorts, I chose to look at it, and Matt and the Blue Rocks did as well, as how we could promote baseball from the grass-roots level on up, how we could work together to make things better for both of us."
Ripken also indicated he didn't meet any resistance from Orioles majority owner Peter Angelos, whose biggest issue is the possible relocation of the Montreal Expos to Northern Virginia or Washington, D.C.
"The Orioles and Peter have been tremendously supportive," Ripken said. "It really wasn't a matter of talking them into it. It seemed to make sense that if there was going to be baseball in Aberdeen, it should be an Orioles affiliate. Peter always felt that way. I'm very thankful for his support and his vision, as far as the developmental system goes. He sees the value of adding another affiliate."
Ripken Baseball still must appoint a manager and general manager, with an announcement likely to come at a news conference scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 13, at the Aberdeen Project construction site. Such details are part of the second phase of Ripken's baseball life, one that's taken him from the field to the front office.
"It's certainly different from what I'm used to doing," he said. "It requires a learning curve on my part, for sure. I've found that you have to be patient and stay the course. Maybe it took a little longer because I had to learn, I had to go through things. Getting to this point, you look back and say it was very much worth all the effort."
Back in Utica, the Blue Sox' Fowler cited sagging attendance combined with low-priced tickets and the rising cost of operating a minor league franchise as factors in his decision to sell. He said he had begun dipping into his wife's 401(k) to pay the bills.
He thanked Blue Sox fans and the local businesses that supported the team since he bought it for $75,000 in 1984.
"I thought at that time that we would own it forever . . . and it would be the family business forever," Fowler said. "But as everybody knows, nothing is forever."
About the selling price, Fowler said only that Ripken will pay a "record" amount for a New York-Penn League franchise. The last New York-Penn team to be sold garnered $2.3 million a couple of years ago, he said. Fowler had offered the team to a corporate mogul last year for $3 million, but that deal fell through.
Hayes said the New York-Penn League is "thrilled" to have someone of Ripken's stature as an owner.
Hayes also thanked Fowler and Utica baseball fans for their support of the league since the team joined the league in 1977 as the Utica Blue Jays, a farm team of the Toronto Blue Jays.
"Bob Fowler has been a great citizen of baseball," Hayes said. "He is by far one of the few owners who truly, truly was in the game for the love of baseball."
Now, local officials face the daunting task of trying to lure another baseball team to Utica.
A clause in the Blue Sox's lease agreement with the sports facility authority said that if a deal was made to sell the franchise, the "community" would have 90 days to match the purchase offer and keep the franchise in Utica.
But government officials have said it would be impossible for local governments to match a multimillion-dollar purchase offer, and no local private investors stepped forward publicly to help out.
But there is a glimmer of hope.
"Personally, I think Utica is a good market," said Hayes. "I would like to see a New York-Penn League team in this market."
Hayes said some improvements must be made at Murnane Field before Utica could make a strong bid for a new team.
Local officials say they will continue to pursue another professional baseball team.
"We're certainly planning to move ahead to make the best use of Murnane Field for the community," Oneida County Executive Ralph J. Eannace Jr. said. "I'll miss (the Blue Sox), but I hope we won't be missing professional baseball in Utica for any long period of time."
Eannace said he was encouraged by a discussion with Hayes about the possibility of bringing another New York-Penn League team to Utica.
The Blue Sox were on the brink of a move last August when Fowler gave a 30-day purchase option on the team to Lawrence Bossidy Jr., chief executive officer of New Jersey-based Honeywell International Inc. But that deal fizzled after Bossidy apparently couldn't secure financing for a new stadium in his hometown of Pittsfield, Mass.
Gannon's story appears in today's editions of the Utica Observer-Dispatch and can also be viewed at the paper's Website. BA Orioles correspondent Roch Kubatko of the Baltimore Sun also contributed to this report; his story can be accessed online as well.

Contractor hired in Coaldale to make street improvements
The four members of Coaldale council who met Tuesday agreed to hire the lowest bidder for street improvements.
Thomas Keerans, John Sherbin, David Yelito and President Susan Solt all voted to hire Alicia Paving Inc., Lehighton, to improve Ridge Street at a cost of $6,844 and Upper Miner Street, from Route 209 to Snedden Avenue at a cost of $11,378.
Alicia was the lower of two bidders.
Council members Joseph Hnat, Steve Tentylo and Michael Doerr were absent.
Also on Tuesday, council hired Michael O'Hara as the borough's new code enforcement officer, pending a background check. He replaces Jamie Nicholas, who resigned in April.
In other matters, council discussed amending the borough's burning ordinance after hearing from resident Kathy Ruff. She said neighbors on three sides of her home burn in open containers, and the smoke, chemical smells and irritants are so pervasive she must keep her windows closed. Ruff said she is also concerned that open burning in town creates fire hazards.
Ruff had asked that council bar outdoor burning altogether, and offered to start a petition to that end.
However, solicitor Michael Greek said, such a ban would be difficult to enforce, pointing out that people use charcoal grills and small smokers. He said the borough's current ordinance requires setbacks for open burning.
Solt agreed that open burning was becoming a problem, saying the borough was becoming "like a campground" now that so many people are building fire pits. She said one man who had been burning garbage and creating noxious odors was stopped from doing that by police Chief Timothy Delaney.
Greek advised Ruff to contact the state Department of Environmental Protection to report people who burn materials other than wood or charcoal. Ruff said it was difficult to pinpoint individual offenders.
Yelito said he would "do drive-bys" in Ruff's area to see if he could find out who is burning materials such as plastic or Styrofoam.
Also, council agreed to get rid of two high mileage police cars, and buy a new police car. Keerans said the borough could make a down payment this year, estimated to be about $3,500, and begin payments next year. The car would be purchased from Kovatch Corp. under the state piggyback program.
In other matters Tuesday, resident Paula Blasko asked if the borough would resume holding Memorial Day parades. Council moved to support her plans. The parade would be held on the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend.
Blasko also asked council's help in getting the owner of a messy property at 3 W. Ruddle St. to clean it up.
Council also agreed to publish notice of a proposed quality of life ordinance that would empower police and other borough authorities to issue tickets for code violations, such as failing to keep grass cut, leaving trash cans out, or putting broken appliances on one's front porch.
Council expects to adopt the ordinance when it meets in July.

The School Committee took no action on a school wellness policy that implements new state nutrition standards for food and beverages provided to students at its meeting July 26, with members saying the initiative is more about parenting than education.
The School Committee took no action on a school wellness policy that implements new state nutrition standards for food and beverages provided to students at its meeting July 26, with members saying the initiative is more about parenting than education.
Under the state School Nutrition Bill of 2010, school districts must comply with state Department of Public Health standards by Aug. 1, said School Nurse Leader Janet Donnelly.
"We're under the gun," she said.
The law applies to food and beverages provided as a-la-carte items in school cafeterias, school stores, school snack bars and in vending machines.
Donnelly and Wellness Coordinator Katherine Swanson presented a wellness plan that is aligned to School Nutrition Bill requirements to the School Committee at the meeting.
"I urge you to focus on what the new standards are promoting, not on what they are taking away," Donnelly said.
She said the state law and proposed wellness policy are to ensure that public schools offer students food and beverage choices that will enhance learning, contribute to their healthy growth and development, and cultivate lifelong healthy eating behavior. The efforts aim to reduce childhood obesity and prevent its health complications.
"Every single moment is an opportunity to learn something new," Swanson said.
Under the School Nutrition Bill, juice must be 100 percent fruit or vegetable juice, with no added sugar. Servings may be no more than four ounces. Low-fat milk, with 1 percent or less fat, or fat-free milk are allowed, but not in servings of more than eight ounces. Water may contain natural flavorings and carbonation, but may not include added sugars, sweeteners or artificial sweeteners. No beverages other than juice, milk, milk substitutes and water shall be provided. Soda, sports drinks and teas are prohibited.
No food or beverages may contain more than trace amounts of caffeine or contain an artificial sweetener. Food may not exceed 200 calories per item.
No more than 35 percent of total calories may come from fat. No more than 10 percent of total calories may come from saturated fat. One-oz. servings of nuts, nut butters, seeds and reduced-fat cheese are exempt. No item may contain trans-fats.
No more than 35 percent of total calories may come from sugars. No item can contain more than 200 milligrams of sodium. Exempt are 100 percent fruit items with no added sugar, and low-fat or non-fat yogurt, with no more than 30 grams of total sugars per eight-oz. serving.
All bread or grain based products must be whole grain.
The standards apply to a-la-carte food and beverages made, sold or provided to students in public schools from 30 minutes before the school day begins until 30 minutes after the school day ends. The standards apply to items in vending machines at all times, under state law.
The DPH standards do not apply to food and beverages sold as part of a federal nutrition program. The state law also does not apply to food and beverages sold or provided at booster sales, concession stands and other school fundraisers and events.
However, Donnelly said Canton and other school districts are free to establish policies that go beyond the state standards. The state standards may be extended to all settings and all times.
"That would be the choice of the School Committee," she said.
School Committee member Reuki Schutt said she considers the requirements to be "really irritating" and wondered what authority the School Committee has to implement them.
"I really feel like pushing back on this," she said. "Do we need our pizza parlors to work on a pizza that can be delivered to our schools?"
Donnelly said the John C. Stalker Institute of Food and Nutrition at Framingham State University has published a 38-page list of acceptable food and beverage items that meet the state nutrition standards called the "A-List."
"We're working on that. It's a challenge," she said. "If you look at the 'A-List,' it's very, very comprehensive."
Donnelly encouraged anyone interested in learning more to read a 60-page report published by the DPH outlining the School Nutrition Bill called, "Healthy Students, Healthy Schools."
School Committee member Cindy Thomas said the policy represents a "huge cultural change" and that it is not fair to expect busy parents to check a list on the Internet for what food and beverage items are considered acceptable.
"Has anyone talked to Shaw's or Stop & Shop about stocking some of this stuff?" she said. "Let's not push too hard."
School Committee Chairman John Bonnanzio said the state standards are "ridiculously over-the-top" and a waste of taxpayer money that is being forced on school districts by the DPH.
He said someone should check to see what items are being sold in the vending machines at the state DPH office in Boston, and get a list of the body mass indices of all DPH employees.
"This is bizarre nonsense," Bonnanzio said.
"My problem is a philosophical problem," he said. "This is just not what we're about. We're about educating. This is about parenting."
Donnelly said Bonnanzio sounded like a "Debbie Downer" and urged the School Committee chairman to support the state law even if he disagrees with it.
Bonnanzio said the problem is children and teens spend too much time in front of a computer and need to spend more time outside playing and being active.
Schutt said students do not get enough physical exercise and only get 23 minutes to eat lunch during the school day, and that is not enough time for a healthy meal.
Thomas said people resent it when the government oversteps its role, and that the wellness policy the School Committee establishes must be implemented to educate and not to punish.
Donnelly said a Canton School Wellness Advisory Committee established under the School Nutrition Bill has met three times. It is required to meet at least four times per year, and she said she hopes the committee meets more often than that.
Donnelly said the committee is comprised of a School Committee member, administrators, physical education staff, a mental health professional, students and parents. She said the committee still needs members and hopes a School Committee member is appointed by September.
"We do have a solid corps of about a dozen people," she said.

NO ERROR OF JUDGEMENT Cameron defends hiring Coulson
PRIME minister Cameron claimed yesterday that Andy Coulson, who had resigned as editor of the News of the World and who currently faces charges of perverting the course of justice, misled him when he was interviewed for the job of Tory press chief.
Cameron denied that he had made any error of judgement in hiring Coulson.
His defence at the Leveson Inquiry was that the whole of the state apparatus had been suckers, and that Coulsons assurances had also been accepted by the Press Complaints Commission (PCC), Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), police and MPs.
However, Cameron agreed that his decision to employ Coulson after he had resigned from the News of the World in January 2007, was a controversial appointment which had come back to haunt him and me.
Cameron said he definitely remembers his chief of staff, Ed Llewellyn, telling him he needed to ask about phone hacking at the News of the World (NoW).
But the prime minister said that at a face to face meeting in May 2007 he had been given assurances by Coulson that he had no knowledge of phone hacking.
I sought assurances, I got them and that was the basis on which I employed him, Cameron added.
Did you seek to check the verbal assurances Coulson gave you, Robert Jay QC asked.
No, but, as I say, this issue had been investigated by others, Cameron replied.
Jay asked: And why did you give him a second chance?
Because he had done the honourable thing by resigning from the NoW, Cameron replied.
Jay pressed Cameron: So you were basically reliant on his word and nothing else?
Not fair, Cameron replied, pointing out that the PCC, MPs, the CPS and the police had accepted Coulsons assurances and claimed to have found no evidence of widespread phone hacking at the time.
Despite the hue and cry about the appointment, Cameron insisted: If someone gave me evidence I wouldnt have employed him and I would have fired him but I didnt get that information.
He remarked about Coulson: Some people just didnt approve of what the News of the World or tabloids do. Quite aggressive articles sometimes.
He then complained: Andy Coulson came up with the most effective and destructive headline about me ever, three words which I never uttered: Hug a Hoodie.
Earlier, Cameron denied claims by former Labour premier Brown that he did a deal with Rupert Murdochs News Corp empire to secure the support of The Sun and News of the World newspapers.
Cameron was questioned about wining and dining with Murdoch executives, such as former News International chief executive Rebekah Brooks, who was editor of The Sun in 2009 when it switched its backing from Labour to the Tories.
Asked by Jay exactly when Brooks became a close friend, Cameron said the relationship got stronger when she married his long-standing friend and neighbour Charlie Brooks.
A text message sent by Mrs Brooks to Cameron on the eve of his speech to the Tory Party conference in October 2009 was quoted.
She wrote: I am so rooting for you tomorrow, not just as a proud friend but because professionally were definitely in this together! Speech of your life? Yes, he Cam.
The prime ministers witness statement revealed he had 1,404 meetings with media figures 26 a month on average while in opposition between 2005 and 2010. Once in government, that fell to an average of about 13 a month.
In 2008 he took a trip to the Greek island of Santorini for a dinner with News International boss Rupert Murdoch because it was a chance to build a relationship with him.

Vladimir Putin's daughter 'flees Holland over MH17 backlash'
VLADIMIR Putin's glamorous daughter Maria was said to have fled her home in Holland today following a backlash over the flight MH17 outrage.
Maria Putina, 29, was not at the penthouse apartment she shares in Voorschoten, near the Hague, with Dutch oil executive partner Jorrit Fasasen, 34.
The stunning blonde, named after Putin's wife, was publicly criticised over Russia's links to the MH17 tragedy in east Ukraine.
Peter Broerties, mayor of Hilversum, near Amsterdam, where the mostly-Dutch victims are to be identified, said she should be deported because of her father's stance.
Mr Broerties later apologised for his remarks, but it was understood today that Ms Putina had left the luxury property near Amsterdam.
Ms Putina - nickname Masha - was born in Leningrad, now St Petersburg, and spent much of her childhood in the former East Germany, where her father was a KGB spy.
The Putins had another daughter, Ekaterina, one year younger, and when the family moved back to Moscow in 1996, Maria, then aged 11, joined the Friedrich Haass German International School .
There's an easy way out for Russia: to distance themselves from the separatists, and stop arming them
After he became head of the FSB secret service, then prime minister, both girls were educated at home for security reasons.
Putin is so protective of the two girls that they have rarely spoken to outsiders and there are few photographs of them.
However, when Putin visited Dublin 13 years ago, his daughters, aged 15 and 14, went sightseeing and met then Taoiseach Bertie Ahern.
Meanwhile yesterday, EU ambassadors reached a preliminary agreement to push ahead with economic sanctions against Russia.
Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said Mr Putin could avoid penalties if he stopped arming the pro-Moscow separatists blamed for downing MH17.
He added: "All indications are that Russia is continuing to arm the separatists.
"There's an easy way out for Russia: to distance themselves from the separatists, and stop arming them."
MH17 was shot down over Donetsk as it flew from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur last week.
All 298 people aboard were killed - including 193 Dutch and ten Britons.
US intelligence believe it was downed by militiamen fighting for independence from Kiev.

Highlights from Art Los Angeles Contemporary
The art-fair-whose-name-nobody-can-remember (a.k.a. "the Barker Hangar fair"; a.k.a. Art Los Angeles Contemporary) is going on this weekend! If you missed the opening, with its lung-searing recreation of a 1968 Judy Chicago dry ice environment, there's still plenty to see. It's a manageable fair, size-wise, and for the most part very good. An informal survey of dealers as of Friday afternoon found optimism and some strong sales. The fair is heavy on contemporary LA galleries, which makes it handy for visitors to the city. Here are some highlights:
Ambach & Rice (a gallery that moved last year from Seattle to Los Angeles), featured collages by British artist Abigail Reynolds. Reynolds takes two found images from the same location and splices them together, often resulting in charming or ironic contrasts, and a bulging, sculptural surface.
More cut paper, at Angles — photographs of nighttime cityscapes by Soo Kim, with the text of lighted signs excised (apologies for the glare):
Thomas Solomon showed new paintings by El Paso native Bart Exposito, alongside sculptures by Brett Lund (this one titled "White Russian (Red Stripe)")
San Diego stalwart Quint sold both their pugnacious text pieces by Mel Bochner:
Quint also wins the prize for best cheap art fair tchotchke: Jean Lowe's edition of bronze condom packages (a steal at $199)!
Honor Fraser's booth featured a solo installation by Alexandra Grant, who sent up overly-analyzed, let's-bring-the-conversation-back-to-me culture with a large wall of ink drawings and a free standing monument to the self.
Dallas native William Binnie's walnut ink-on-velum spider web drawings at Maloney Fine Art (again, the snapshot is glare-r-ific).
Steve Turner's booth featured this table sculpture by Morgan Wells, among other artists.
By far the most elegant booth in the fair belonged to David Kordansky Gallery, which featured works by Anthony Pearson. This small bronze piece is atypical; most of the pieces in the booth are pedestal sculptures with framed photographs, like this.
1301PE had this large (sold) theater painting by Kirsten Everberg.
NYC gallery Fitzroy had part of their booth dedicated to new canvas prints and hi-fi stacks (below) by Sean Dack.
Fitzroy also had this fun little crummy bit of humor by Todd Norsten:
Finally, another wonderful non-LA gallery discovery was Elastic, from Malmö, Sweden. Their booth was dedicated to quirky, mostly non-2D works by its stable of Swedish artists (look for them also to participate in the Armory Show's Nordic focus this March).
Rainey Knudson is the Founder and Director of Glasstire.

Construction worker injured
A construction worker was injured by a hit and run driver. The incident occurred at a construction site at the on-ramp from SR309 to Interstate 81 in Kline Township, Schuylkill County.
State police at Frackville said a tractor with trailer was traveling on the ramp about 8:25 a.m. on Thursday, May 30, in a construction zone where workers were repairing a bridge on the ramp.
The truck struck a concrete barrier that moved backwards and struck David R. Clouse, 51, of Easton, in the head. Clouse was bent over preparing concrete for the bridge. The impact caused Clouse to be pushed backwards onto the concrete deck of the bridge.
The rig driver did not stop and continued northbound on the interstate. Clouse sustained minor injuries.
No vehicle description was obtained of the truck. Troopers ask anyone who might have witnessed the incident to call them at (570) 874-5300.

No cupcakes. No CUPCAKES?
…Ah, the class birthday treat. Your Mom is bringing something from you for the whole class. You're proud.
…Remember the white cupcakes with the rainbow sprinkles, the slathered faces, the giggling?
…"They can bring carrots," snaps an assistant to the superintendent of one Orange Country school district. "A birthday does not have to be associated with food."
…May HA say something here? YES, IT DOES, YOU BIDDY.
…The busy little obesity nannies have zeroed in on the birthday cupcake. And parents are fighting back.
…Texas passed a state law called The Safe Cupcake amendment giving parents the right to deliver treats to the classroom on certain occasions. Candy corn on Halloween was mentioned.
…Let's see Bill O. take on that one.
…Disclaimer. Kids should not live on high frustose corn sugar alone, please give them a green bean once in awhile, blah, blah. But it's their birthday!
…No cupcakes now, serial killers later?
…Think about it.
3 comments:
Banning cupcakes is tantamount to outlawing one of the last remaining bits of childhood that kids today have left. Merry-go-rounds, walking to school, trick-or-treating, and simply playing outside are now nearly things of the past.
OK, so the cupcake crisis is not exactly up there with global warming. But it is, nonetheless, important to our national heritage (and to our fundraisers), and it doesn't take a think tank to solve the problem.
It's apparent that the only way we're going to have our cupcake and eat it, too, is to build a better one. Americans do it all the time. It's our nature. Ban it? Why, when we can just improve it.
To be successful, it must be indistinguishable in flavor and texture from the original. Can it be done? It already has been done by hundreds of thousands of parents across America who have risen up (ahem…) and have overcome the cupcake crisis by simply adding a few healthy, and sneaky, ingredients.
As a "sneaky chef," I discovered that because kids love them so much, cupcakes are the perfect "carrier" to deliver valuable hidden nutrition. How? By simply adding a few hidden ingredients. And what school nutritionist could object to a cupcake invisibly enhanced with pureed blueberries, spinach and whole wheat pastry flour, and with only half the fat and sugar?
With this simple solution–call it a "nutritional compromise"–our kids can enjoy a time honored tradition, and we can relax in the knowledge that they are also getting some much needed nutrition.
Parents, we must unite to save the cupcake, and the bake sale, as one of the last vestiges of childhood innocence and American nostalgia. By adding some sneaky nutrition, we can get cupcakes taken off the endangered species list and back into happy tummies. Let's start baking again for fundraisers, and keep the fun in childhood and the specialness in birthdays.
It's time to let 'em know there's a new cupcake in town!

It is ridiculous to ban cupcakes, it is your decision!

Why don't you people stay out of the food chain and let kids be kids! Stop trying to tell parents how to parent. We're not stupid.

The 10 Most WTF Objects That People Have Found In Their Fast Food
Earlier today, we learned that a child found a deep fried hand towel in his KFC chicken. Which got me to thinking, what other nasty inedibles have people accidentally chomped into? Lucky for you, we've compiled a list of some of the worst disgusting food finds. Hope you're not eating lunch.
1. Finger
A California woman allegedly found a finger in her bowl of Wendy's chili, driving police mad trying to figure out from whence the lost appendage came. After carefully examining all of the hands in San Jose (not really), they found the source of the finger to be a Nevada man who lost it in an industrial accident. He gave it to the woman's husband to plant in her food as part of a scheme to scam Wendy's. Nice try. Nice, gross try.
2. Metal Pin
American restaurants aren't the only ones dishing out inedible surprises. A Canadian woman allegedly found a metal pin in her cheeseburger from the McDonald's inside her local Wal-Mart. Silly McDonald's, people need stomach staples after they've eaten your food. On the bright side, the woman and her daughter received two pin-free burgers, fries, and a drink for their inconvenience.
3. Razor Blade
A metal pin, eh McDonald's? Burger King sees your metal pin and raises you one razor blade! They definitely outdid their competitor in terms of grossness when a California woman allegedly found a razor blade in her burger while she was checking for onions. Hey, at least there weren't any onions. Yuck!
4. Human Skin
Things just got real, real gross. An Ohio man allegedly bit into his Arby's sandwich and found a .75 inch long piece of flesh, which seemed to have fingerprints on it. Investigators found that the restaurant manager had a bandage around his finger, which he sliced earlier. Are you thinking what I'm thinking? How do you have time to notice a .75 inch piece of anything when you're busy wolfing down a delicious Arby's chicken sandwich? He's the freak in this case.
5. Chicken Feather
An Indiana woman allegedly found a feather in her McNuggets, which was later determined to be a pin feather, from a broiler-type chicken. Can you believe that? McNuggets are actually made from chickens. Honestly I'd be thrilled to find this kind of evidence.
6. Frog
This one breaks my heart. I'm not surprised to hear crappy fast food chains letting razor blades slip into their grease, but Pret A Manger?! Say it ain't so. A New Yorker allegedly found a frog in their salad from the fresh food bistro, making everyone ask how a frog got into New York.
7. Condom
A Swiss seven year old reportedly received a condom in her McDonald's Happy Meal. Sounds like someone got a little too happy in the kitchen. No info on whether the condom was sauced up or not. (Sorry)
8. Mouse
This one may not be from fast food, but I couldn't leave out this gut-wrenching find. A UK man allegedly found a dead mouse baked into his loaf of Premier Foods bread. I actually kind of wish this had happened to me, because I'd probably never eat carbs again.
9. Bullets
I've heard about the violence in Los Angeles, but I didn't think the food was in danger too. A woman allegedly swallowed a bullet that was hiding inside a hot dog from Costco. But she remained optimistic, saying, "If a bullet's going to be in your stomach, at least it didn't pierce the skin to get there." Now that's looking at the glass half full. Of bullets.
10. Syringe
Possibly most dangerous of all, a Hawaii man allegedly cut his tongue on a syringe needle inside of his Burger King burger. In the hospital, another needle was found in his small intestine. Call me crazy, but I'd rather bite into a dead mouse than have to face crapping out a needle.

THE monument at the centre of the Pearl Roundabout, which had become a focal point for anti-government protesters, was pulled down by authorities yesterday. Witnesses described the painstaking process of completely removing the monument, which started early yesterday morning. The GDN reported that diggers had moved in to remove earth from around the structure on Thursday.
However, witnesses said an operation to pull down the monument started at around 5am yesterday, with the concrete foundations being bulldozed before workers began removing bolts from each of the structure's six legs.
"They have been using jackhammers to remove each leg from its concrete base," said a witness who lives near the intersection, which is officially known as the GCC Roundabout.
"Piles of rubbish that were left behind by protesters have now been cleaned up and moved to wasteland opposite Dana Mall."
The roundabout had been taken over by anti-government protesters, who had set up camp in the middle of the intersection for the past month.
It was first occupied on February 15 as protests gathered momentum, but was cleared in the early hours of February 17 in a police operation that resulted in the deaths of four protesters - as well as injuries to both police and demonstrators.
The Bahraini military was brought in to secure the intersection on the same day, but attempts by protesters to march on the roundabout on February 18 resulted in another casualty - prompting authorities to pull the tanks off the streets on February 19.
Riot police were also pulled out of the area on February 19 allowing protesters to retake the Pearl Roundabout, where they remained camped out in the middle of the intersection in tents. However, on Wednesday morning police swooped to evict protesters from the roundabout in an operation that left two officers dead.
Security forces moved in after protesters ignored warnings against demonstrating outside the Bahrain Financial Harbour on Sunday, bringing rush hour traffic to a halt in both directions and attacking police who tried to move them on with knives and swords.
Wednesday's operation took place just a day after Bahrain declared a State of National Safety and two days after the first troops from neighbouring GCC countries arrived in the country to boost security.
Some 1,000 Saudi soldiers and 500 police officers from the UAE are now stationed here as part of a joint Peninsula Shield operation, while Kuwait is reportedly sending naval forces here to help secure Bahrain's territorial waters. Qatar has also sent troops as part of Peninsula Shield, a Qatari military official was quoted as saying by AFP.
The GDN reported yesterday that seven opposition figures have now been arrested and are facing charges of plotting to overthrow the regime with support from abroad, inciting people to kill, spreading fear and provoking others to damage public and private property.
The arrests took place on the same day that Foreign Ministry Under-Secretary for Regional and Gulf Co-operation Council Affairs, Ambassador Hamad Al Hamer accused Iran of interfering in Bahrain's internal affairs.

Hiddink includes injured Cahill in experienced squad
SYDNEY, May 10 (Reuters) - Australia coach Guus Hiddink named a tried and trusted 23-man squad on Wednesday for the World Cup in Germany.
The only surprises were the inclusion of towering German-based striker Josh Kennedy and locally-based defenders Mark Milligan and Michael Beauchamp.
Everton midfielder Tim Cahill was selected despite concerns about his injured knee from his English club and Middlesbrough goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer was picked after recovering from a broken cheekbone.
'About 90 to 95 per cent of the positions were already picked... so at the end it wasn't that difficult,' Hiddink said in a statement.
'There were only three positions to be decided. We already had in our heads the basic positions of the team but we needed to be flexible as well.'
Kennedy, a 1.94 metre tall striker with German second division club Dynamo Dresden, was chosen to add extra height up front despite being uncapped at international level.
Milligan, also uncapped, caught the selectors' attention during Australia's under-23s tour of Vietnam while Beauchamp made his international debut in Australia's Asian Cup qualifier against Bahrain in February.
Australia were forced to start looking for a new defender at short notice when Tony Vidmar announced on Tuesday he was pulling out because of a heart condition.
'It is unbelievable. It is a dream come true to go to the World Cup and I am still struggling to come to terms with it,' Milligan told a news conference at Sydney airport, where the squad was announced against the backdrop of a Boeing 767 painted in the Socceroos' livery.
The squad is packed with experienced players who ply their trade in Europe and Britain, including Australia's best-known players Harry Kewell and Mark Viduka.
A decision on who will captain the team has been delayed until this month's friendly against Greece in Melbourne but Viduka and Newcastle defender Craig Moore are the only real contenders.
'Viduka's done nothing wrong and Craig Moore's done nothing wrong,' assistant coach Graham Arnold told Reuters.
'Both of them would be very proud to be captain going to a World Cup but it's something Guus wants to think about.'
Australia have made only one appearance at the World Cup finals, in 1974, where they were eliminated after the first round.
They face another daunting challenge to make the second round this time after being drawn in the same group as Brazil, Croatia and Japan.
'We've got some wonderful players around the world that have carved out their own careers and now we're coming together as a national team and we're a very good national team,' Arnold said.
'We've got nothing to lose and our best strength will be our team spirit and our physical ability.
'I think it's a very adaptable squad. We've got a lot of possibilities to change systems. We've got all positions covered with two or three players.'
Hiddink took the Netherlands and South Korea to the semi-finals at the last two World Cups and is confident the Australians can do well despite being in such a tough group.
'(We're) happy to be there but I know that the team is not settling down and just participating. This team is so eager to get a surprise to get into the second round.'
The 23-man squad:
Mark Schwarzer, Zeljko Kalac, Ante Covic, Michael Beauchamp, Craig Moore, Lucas Neill, Tony Popovic, Josh Kennedy, Mark Milligan, Marco Bresciano, Tim Cahill, Scott Chipperfield, Jason Culina, Brett Emerton, Vince Grella, Stan Lazaridis, Josip Skoko, Mile Sterjovski, Luke Wilkshire, John Aloisi, Harry Kewell, Archie Thompson, Mark Viduka.

GPU Computing Creates New Paradigm
The origin of high-performance computing (HPC) was based on clustering multiple CPUs, and more recently, clustering scores of multi-core CPUs to achieve higher levels of computational power. The GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), and the recent advent of GPU computing, have created a quantum shift in computing architecture by introducing a hybrid model whereby GPU I/O cards now work in conjunction with CPUs.
Utilizing the latest Intel® multi-core CPUs and PCI Express 2.0/3.0 technology, Trenton servers are ideal for building GPU computing solutions based on NVIDIA® Tesla™ GPU 20-series processors and the CUDA™ parallel computing architecture. The TCS4501 4U rackmount computer supports up to four Tesla cards in a rugged enclosure.
Servers Designed for GPU Computing
While CPUs are excellent sequential processors adept at serial operations, GPUs were designed from the start to excel at processing similar data that can be split into many pieces and processed in parallel. This is due to the fact that GPUs contain hundreds of parallel cores which are capable of running thousands of parallel threads.
Maximizing GPU performance, however, begins with the underlying hardware architecture. At Trenton that means single board computers & PCI Express backplanes which are designed from the start with data throughput in mind.
Strategic NVIDIA Partnership
Programmers take advantage of this architecture by directing the most performance-critical sections of their programs to run on multiple GPU cores. By offloading the CPU, 10x or greater performance increases are common, and this factor is sure to increase as future generations of GPU computing technology are developed.
As a NVIDIA Preferred Solutions Provider Trenton creates robust computing solutions for customers wishing to integrate NVIDIA's broad range of computing products; including the latest Telsa K80, M60 and K40 GPU Accelerators, into their system operations. More information on performance benefits can be found on the Trenton NVIDIA K80 Benchmark Infographic. End users can also request access to a NVIDIA Remote GPU Compute Cluster to test their code on GPU Accelerators.

Climb the fingery grey wall, then, when the angle eases, trend left to finish at the same lower-off as Through the Magic Door.
Pretty good, maybe underrated. Interesting technical and fingery climbing for the most part. There's a new lower-off in an incredibly stupid and inconvenient position on a holdless hanging slab - better to press on to the higher lower-off.
a mita de la ruta hai un paso de 6b+, el final antes de chapar hai que tirarse a la izquierda.
The crux feels quite committing. I thought the new lower off on the R was OK tho it would have been better a tad higher.
Super fingery climb, especially about a third of the way in. Fun climb!

The Sun Says Games Give Kids Dementia
If you have kids who play video games, take away their consoles this second. Sell them, throw them in the garbage, or hide them under your bed next to your rifle and porn stash. Just keep them away from your kids, because if you don't, it's all over for them.
According to The Sun, video games are causing dementia. Yes, you read that correctly. According to the highly respected and often accurate publication (sarcasm), some neuroscientist named Baroness Greenfield stated that video games can "blow the mind."
According to this crazy lady, video games can cause computer addiction, and they take away from the outdoors activities that children should be enjoying. They can also cause mental degeneration in our youth. In other words, they can get dementia from playing their favorite games.
I don't know who's more of a stupid moron, that Greenfield lady or the person who thought it would be wise to report on her findings. Then again, this is The Sun we're talking about, and we all know that the people who write for that tabloid can't be taken seriously as human beings.

In-depth 301 Redirection Tutorial
Posted 03 November 2005 - 07:44 PM
I just completed a two-part in-depth tutorial about 301 redirection.
It explains the problems associated with incorrect redirection from the SEO point of view, explains the HTTP codes and why 301 is the correct one, and then goes on to give code examples of redirection using PHP and mod_rewrite.
I know there are a lot of such tutorials on the web, but this one goes into technical details that I haven't seen yet. It's aimed at the webmaster who wants to understand WHY and how this is done on a technical level.
Anyway, comments and questions welcome
Posted 08 November 2005 - 09:30 AM
I checked my largest clients site by going to google and searching for both site:www.jokabsafetyna.com and site:jokabsafetyna.com to find that google has both indexed as seperate sites. Back to the tutorial to fix it.
I know my host supports .htaccess (i use it for other things) so i figured that would be the best method. I copy and pasted the mod rewirte code for "To forward mysite.com to www.mysite.com" and changed both occurances of mysite to jokabsafetyna.
I know it will take a while for googlebot to reindex the site and remove the double entry, but in going to both www.jokabsafetyna.com and jokabsafetyna.com i'm not sure the mod rewrite is working properly. Could you please check that it works as desired? If it works i have a lot of other web sites' .htaccess files to update.
Posted 08 November 2005 - 09:45 AM
It doesn't seem to be working on your website. Two things:
1. Post your .htaccess code so we can double check it
2. Make sure your server supports mod_rewrite. Some don't.
Posted 08 November 2005 - 09:57 AM
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.jokabsafetyna.com RewriteRule (.*) http://www.jokabsafetyna.com/$1 [R=301,L]
2. Not sure how to check if mod_rewrite is supported. In my cpanel i see this listed as up "exim (exim-4.50-1_cpanel_smtpctl_av_rewrite_mm2_mmmtrap_exiscan_md5pass)" What am i looking for? Your tutorial mentions using the phpinfo function, where can i get that code snippet?
Posted 08 November 2005 - 10:20 AM
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
OK. Here is what I forgot in the tutorial
RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.mysite.com [nc] RewriteRule (.*) http://www.mysite.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Notice the essential missing bit is the RewriteEngine On line. I also added the [nc] to make case insensitive.
Posted 08 November 2005 - 11:40 AM
Here's my new htaccess code, it still doens't seem to work:
RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.jokabsafetyna.com [nc] RewriteRule (.*) http://www.jokabsafetyna.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Posted 08 November 2005 - 12:37 PM
You can also do it: search the page for "mod_rewrite" (just search for "rewrite"). If it is not listed, then it most likely that the server doesn't have it enabled. Ask your host.
Posted 08 November 2005 - 01:42 PM
I don't feel comfortable posting a public link to all my server info.
Posted 08 November 2005 - 04:42 PM
RewriteEngine On # redirect non-www to www domain RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^DOMAIN.com [NC] RewriteRule (.*) http://www.DOMAIN.com$1 [R=301,L]
Also, make sure you flush your browser's cache before you test if it works!
Posted 08 November 2005 - 05:19 PM
RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.jokabsafetyna.com [nc] RewriteRule (.*) http://www.jokabsafetyna.com/$1 [R=301,L]
This worked once i cleared my cache. Thanks. Hopefully they'll get higher rankings out of this. I've always been puzzled about why that site didn't rank better.

Are people referring to the .htaccess file for my main site or do I need to go into all 15 sites and change the .htaccess file and if they are currently just pointed and not hosted do each of those 15 even HAVE an .htaccess file?
Posted 21 December 2005 - 11:04 AM
To recap-15 domains pointed to main using 200 OK - don't want to get main site banned in the search engine...
Do I need an .htaccess file for each of the domain names to put in a 301 redirect? Most of the articles I have read on the subject simply suggest redirecting from the .htacess file but this is in context to pages on the same domain I think as opposed to what I am trying to do, redirect other domain names to my main site.
If I DO indeed need a .htaccess file for each domain name, would I then need to establish a hosting account and userd id and password and root folder for each domain name for this to work? Right now NetSol is just "pointing" them.
If I do need to jump through all these hoop (and from my interpretation it looks very much like I do) and I don't want to do that are there any suggestions as to an alternative to make this work without getting me banned?
Posted 21 December 2005 - 11:19 AM
Get a new hosting account for one of the fifteen domains, then "point" all of them to that account. At that point, all of them will be returning 200 status codes, just as they are now, but they won't be pointing to your main domain. You can then implement a 301 redirect from that domain to the main domain. The result will be that all 15 domains end up where you want them to go and return a 301 status in the process.
There are actually easier and better ways to do this in Apache, but you pretty much have to be running your own server before those ways become available. There's no host of which I'm aware that gives people that level of access. (Hey, Server Admins, there's a need just looking to be filled!)
Posted 21 December 2005 - 10:38 PM
To test any 301 redirection, make sure you clear your browser's cache first! Otherwise, you won't see if it worked or not.
This is especially true if using the FireFox web browser, you get an error stating that the URL redirection limit has been reached.
Would that mean that if a redirect is done on a site that already has repeat visitors, they wont be able to access the site anymore until they clear the cache? Which could lead to losing a lot of existing visitors?
Or does the problem just naturally clear itself up in time, with the increased results from search engines weighing out any problems of that nature?
Posted 22 December 2005 - 05:07 AM

What I see if I don't clear the cache is one of two things:
1. An error saying that the redirection limit has been exceeded.
2. A time out.
This, of course, will clear in time as the browsers, but repeat visitors will probably see the same errors till they clear their cache.
New visitors are unaffected.
I would be interested in hearing if there are work-arounds for this...
Posted 22 December 2005 - 05:18 AM
From their sitemaps blog: Inside Google Sitemaps: www vs non-www versions of a site
From their help center: Why does my site have two different listings in Google: site.com and www.site.com? (title slightly edited because the forum parses the examples as URLs!)
I'll be adding these to my tutorial.
Edited by eKstreme, 22 December 2005 - 05:21 AM.
Posted 22 December 2005 - 05:53 AM
Redirect limit exceeded cannot happen in such a case. If you get such an error there is something seriously wrong with your redirect or chain of redirects.
Likewise a timeout should not happen. If a timeout occurs it means your browser is indeed talking with the server and the caching is no problem.
On that note, all browser perfom a display refresh with F5 while CTRL + F5 forces a true refresh (re-request the page and all its files from the server).
Posted 22 December 2005 - 06:19 AM
That posting is specifically for Google Sitemaps users -- if you want a pseudo-official stand on www/non-www, you might want to link to Matt's Bacon Polenta-page (that's the only way I can remember the URL): http://www.mattcutts.../bacon-polenta/
The proper procedure (assuming that you want www.domain.com to show up) is to make domain.com do a permanent (301) redirect to www.domain.com.
Posted 16 March 2006 - 11:25 AM
(By the way, after reading my post it seems like incoherent rambling of someone who's researched 301 redirects a little too much haha)
First off, to remain relevant - the original redirect we were using in our .htaccess file (that you should NOT use!) was...
Redirect 301 http://domain.com http://www.domain.comEven though it does a redirect you still end up at http://domain.com.
As a second note, if you're using PHP in your code and still want the files to be .html instead of .php, you can do so with an additional 301 and still use the redirect featured in this tutorial without a problem.
I'd like to post the code because several experience web folk I've talked to about this had no clue you could do such a thing. Just use this in your .htaccess file...
AddType application/x-httpd-php .htmlAnd if you want to redirect anyone trying to go to a .php page to the new .html extension (no need for the first two lines if you've already used them once)...
Options +FollowSymlinks RewriteEngine on RewriteRule (.+)\.php$ /$1\.html [R=301,nc]Pretty cool huh?

You can then implement a 301 redirect from that domain to the main domain. The result will be that all 15 domains end up where you want them to go and return a 301 status in the process.
I'm also trying to sort out the difference between domain alias and redirect to determine how best to set my domains up.
Assuming I have mydomain.co.uk as the main site, I want to "point" mydomain.com to the co.uk
My hosting panel allows me to alias the com. I've used http://www.seoconsul...ols/headers.asp to determine that i get a 200 status code returned when i use alias
Once my domain is alias ed I don't have an option to do 301. I can only use 301 if the domain is set up as a separate site.
So my question is should I host the site to ensure I can redirect to get a 301 status code or is the 200 status code just as valid for SEO purposes
Additionally it has been suggested that I could use custom DNS and use the cname record - could anyone explain this option also.

Take a look at this site for more information -
No WWW Page
By the way the code I used is
RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^easyresume.com.au$ [NC] RewriteRule (.*) http://easyresume.com.au/$1 [R=301,L]
Hope this helps you out!
