Speech from the dock that inspired the world - the trial of Roger Casement
Knight of the Realm Roger Casement's role in the 1916 Rising was the treason the British establishment was most eager to punish. His trial began 100 years ago tomorrow
It will be one hundred years ago tomorrow since that Knight of the Realm and Irish Rebel Roger Casement walked into a London courtroom to face trial for treason. It would end predictably with a death sentence, but will be remembered too for a speech from the dock that would reverberate across the world.
The other executed rebels of the Rising had been court-martialled, denying them the opportunity to make a speech from the dock. Casement's civil trial afforded him the opportunity to explain his motivations and make the case that as an Irishman he should not have been charged with treason against the English Crown.
"My 'treason' was based on a ruthless sincerity that forced me to attempt in time and season to carry out in action what I said in word," he argued.
"If small nationalities were to be the pawns in this game of embattled giants, I saw no reason why Ireland should shed her blood in any cause but her own, and if that be treason beyond the seas I am not ashamed to avow to it or to answer for it here with my life."
His speech echoed around the globe. Pandit Nehru, later PM of India, wrote: "It seemed to point out exactly how a subject nation should feel."
Casement had been captured when he landed on Banna Strand in Kerry on the morning of Good Friday 1916, two days before the insurrection scheduled for Easter Sunday. Captured with him were almost two thousand rifles transported on the Aud for distribution to the rebels.
The seizure of the arms was a massive setback, and a major factor in the cancellation of the Rising throughout most of the country. Casement, in fact, had landed in the hope of persuading the leaders to postpone their rebellion, confident that with a little more time he could persuade the Germans to land troops on Irish soil.
From the moment of his capture, Casement's fate was all but sealed. The British authorities took a particularly dim view of his involvement with the Rising, as for two decades he had been regarded as a staunch pillar of the Establishment.
Coming from good Anglo-Irish stock, his father had served as a captain in the King's Own Regiment of Dragoons. By the time of the Rising, Casement himself enjoyed international celebrity status as a human rights campaigner, having been knighted in 1911 for his work exposing the plight of Amazonian indians at the hands of white slavers.
Before South America, Casement had made his reputation as a thorn in the side of the monstrous King of Belgium, Leopold II, who was inflicting a savage reign of terror on the Congo. In the mid-1880s, the great powers of Europe convened at the Berlin Conference to carve up the continent of Africa.
Little Belgium was not a great power, but the avaricious Leopold was determined to grab a piece of empire for himself. At the Berlin Conference, he proposed that Belgium would found and oversee a Congo Free State to improve the lives of the natives.
Under the cover of this supposedly noble enterprise, Leopold raped the Congo. He enslaved millions into forced labour, extracting a fortune in ivory and rubber. Historians differ on how many natives died under Leopold's brutal regime, but a figure of some ten million is widely accepted. Leopold's mercenary Force Publique instigated the foul punishment - seen during the Rwandan genocide of the 1990s - of chopping off the hands of transgressors.
Roger Casement arrived into the Congo as the Belgian king prepared his land-grab. The Irishman joined the African International Association of Henry Morton Stanley, already famous for greeting a missing explorer with the line: "Doctor Livingstone, I presume?"
Casement quickly realised that Stanley's Association was a flimsy front for Leopold's evil exploitation of the land. Casement ran into the Polish writer Joseph Conrad and they compared notes on the appalling treatment of the natives by the Belgian colonists.
In 1899, Conrad published his devastating critique, Heart of Darkness, which exposed the racism and savagery of white imperialists. Conrad's novel would be transposed to the big screen many decades later by Francis Ford Coppola as Apocalypse Now.
In 1903, now a senior diplomat in the British Colonial Service, Casement was commissioned to investigate human rights in Leopold's Congo Free State. He spent weeks travelling about the Congo Basin interviewing enslaved native workers, their overseers and even the mercenaries of the hated Force Publique.
The result was The Casement Report published in 1904. Packed with devastating eyewitness statements, the report laid bare "the enslavement, mutilation and torture of natives on the rubber plantations". The impact of Casement's report was swift and powerful.
Lobby groups came together across Europe and the United States to put pressure on Belgium, while governments demanded reform. As a direct result of Casement's investigation, the Belgian parliament conducted its own investigation, resulting in the Belgian State seizing the Congo from Leopold's personal grasp and setting up a more humane administration in the renamed Belgian Congo.
On leave in Ireland in 1904-5, Casement joined the Gaelic League and Sinn Féin. After retiring from the consular service in 1913, he immersed himself in republican activity, co-writing the manifesto of the Irish Volunteers with Eoin MacNeill.
After the start of the Great War, Casement travelled widely, fundraising in the US and attempting to solicit armed help from the Germans. Before, during and after his trial, the British government covertly circulated photographed passages from Casement's so-called Black Diaries in which he detailed his secret life as an enthusiastic homosexual.
The prevailing consensus of experts is that the diaries are genuine. Intended to blacken his image, the diaries didn't deter figures including WB Yeats, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and George Bernard Shaw from pleading for clemency.
Dubliner Shaw - already world famous, and on his way to becoming the only individual to win both a Nobel Prize and an Oscar - even offered to script a defence for Casement, but Casement politely turned him down, a decision he was said to have later regretted.
Predictably his appeal failed, and he became the last of the Easter Rising leaders to meet the executioner.

Equipment Loan Center Relocated
As you may or may not know, the Equipment Loan Center has, for obvious reasons, moved out of the Stetson basement, and temporarily relocated to the Dodd Annex building. That's "E-2" on your handy Williams campus map. We should be in this location for approximately three years, or possibly less depending on the completion date of the new facility. Other than being slightly farther away from some of you, there should be no noticeable differences in the services that we offer.
One important thing to note; We will no longer offer an alternate drop off point for equipment; it must be dropped off in the new office. Due to staff meetings, and general unforeseeable office closures, it would be advisable to contact us via phone before heading out, to be sure that we are physically in the office before returning or picking up equipment.
We had 223 categories of items to move, some categories having up to ten items each. Fortunately most of the items are fairly compact, and it took about four days to move the entire office over to the new location. We will probably be tweaking the environment for several weeks to get things streamlined, but this process shouldn't affect daily operations. We were open for business pretty much the entire time, with a brief period of about two hours during the office computer move. Please feel free to contact us for clarification on this relocation at: firstname.lastname@example.com or x4091

Unanswered: Permissions when restoring a database
Our staff login to SQL Server using NT Authentication. The logins have Security Administrator, Disk Administrator and Database Creator Server Roles.
Staff memebers create a new database with Enterprise Manager and are automatically the dbo of that database. They then need to restore the database (again using EM) from a backup file sent to us from various clients. Obviously their login/user will not exist in this external backup file we have been sent. When they restore the database (and they are large so this can take an hour), the restore is almost complete when it gives the error :
Server user 'BLAH' is not a valid user in database 'clientdb'.
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally
The user is no longer dbo or even part of the database they just created.
IS there any way for me to get around this error without making all our staff System Administrors ?

Try to create a New Database by rightclicking on the databases.
while restoring and select force restore over existing Database and try it in options tab

The database is created by right clicking on Databases in Enterprise Manager.
The restore already uses "force restore over existing Database".

If you login(as Administrator) does it allow you to restore ?.
Also try to restore without creating the database first i.e straight way choose restore option when the "Restore Database" pops up put a new name (whatever you want) and continue with restore procedure. Let me know what happens.
I tried to simulate our situation no errors came up.>>

If I log in as System Administrator there are no problems, but I really don't want all our staff to have System Administrator rights on the SQL Server.
I tried as per your suggestion of NOT creating the database first. The restore chugs along till 99% complete then shows the error message
"Server user blah is not a valid user in database CLIENTSDB.
Restore database is terminating abnormally"
The only slight success I found was if I knew one of the users in the client database, and created a login with the same name, then logged in as this new login, I could restore the database. However, I would need to know an existing user.. which most of the time I dont.

The sweeping acquittal in the 36-count indictment ended a five-month trial with a huge victory for an embattled corporate chief after a series of convictions in other high-profile business scandals.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Jurors acquitted HealthSouth Corp. founder and fired Chief Executive Richard Scrushy today of all charges related to a $2.7 billion earnings overstatement at the chain of rehabilitation and medical-service centers.
The sweeping acquittal in the 36-count indictment ended a five-month trial with a huge victory for an embattled corporate chief after a series of convictions in other high-profile business scandals.
As the "not guilty" verdicts were read on count after count, Scrushy started crying. He pulled out a handkerchief and began wiping his eyes. After the final count, he reached around and hugged his wife, Leslie, in the first row behind the defense table.
Scrushy, charged with fraud, false corporate reporting and making false statements to regulators, was the first CEO charged under the Sarbanes-Oxley corporate reporting law.
But Scrushy, tried in the city where he has been a generous philanthropist, blamed the massive accounting scheme on subordinates including all five finance chiefs who served under him at HealthSouth.
"I'm disappointed in the verdict," U.S. Attorney Alice Martin said after the verdict was read.
In all, 15 former HealthSouth executives have pleaded guilty since 2003, when the scandal erupted publicly and drove the company to the brink of bankruptcy.
The decision came in the fifth day of deliberations since U.S. District Judge Karon Bowdre replaced a sick juror with an alternate and told the panel to start work anew. It was the 21st day of deliberations overall.
The scandal had a devastating effect on HealthSouth, which teetered on the edge of bankruptcy for months despite once having more than 50,000 employees at 1,900 locations in all 50 states and a stock price around $30.
Today, HealthSouth stock trades around $6 after being delisted from the New York Stock Exchange. Layoffs and closings reduced employment to about 41,000 people at 1,380 sites.
Scrushy was Alabama's best-known business leader at HealthSouth's height, a high-flying, imperial CEO who dictated everything from T-shirt designs to seating in the executive dining room. He had a penchant for big boats, vintage cars and waterfront mansions.
Always a promoter, Scrushy seemed to relish TV appearances where he talked up HealthSouth stock. Thanks to millions of dollars of philanthropy, Scrushy's name was soon on roads, buildings and playing fields around the state and particularly in Birmingham, where HealthSouth is based.
But evidence showed Scrushy's company was in financial trouble almost from the start.
Witnesses testified the conspiracy began in 1996, when they said HealthSouth switched from "aggressive accounting" to outright fraud at Scrushy's direction. Transcripts from closed-door hearings showed prosecutors had evidence the scheme began years earlier, as early as 1988, but decided against trying to prove it.
The first of 15 corporate officers and midlevel accounting executives to admit being part of the scheme pleaded guilty in March 2003, when the government filed suit against HealthSouth and Scrushy alleging a massive fraud. They told agents about inserting false numbers they called "dirt" or "pixie dust" to cover up earnings shortfalls, which they termed the "hole."
Gathering in conference rooms and offices to figure out how much fraud was needed each quarter to make it appear HealthSouth was meeting forecasts, the group even coined a name for itself: "the family."
The Scrushy defense blamed the fraud on that group, particularly the five finance chiefs who worked under Scrushy and testified against him. One CFO, Bill Owens, came under withering defense attacks after agreeing to secretly record talks with Scrushy before both were fired.
Owens led the fraud, the defense claimed. He hid the scheme from Scrushy for years even after lower-level workers balked at continuing the fraud in mid-2002, when things began unraveling amid pressure from the new Sarbanes-Oxley act, which imposed stiff penalties for false financial statements.

I am staying at the Renaissance Makati in early June for a conference. During the conference, our meals are provided and I will hence have only a limited opportunity to get out and try the local cuisine, maybe three or four meals (2 lunches, 2 dinners, on a Saturday and Sunday)
Not being very familiar with Philippino food, beyond adobo and lumpia, I am at a bit of a loss. I have no interest in trying anything "international" (i.e. seems to be a lot Thai and Japanese places near the hotel, but I just got back from Japan and I get lots of Thai food in Toronto).
I will be by myself, and will try to see Intramuros, as well as Makati.
So, those are the parameters...what are your suggestions, Manila Chowhounds!?

Growth From Reagan Tax Cuts
August 12, 1996
Tax cuts do not create federal deficits; greater government spending does. That is the message tax-cut supporters must hammer home, according to political analysts and economists. Otherwise this truth will be drowned out in the media in a deluge of confusion.
Politicians are expected to repeat the mantra, "Reagan tax cuts were responsible for declining revenues and soaring deficits in the 1980s," but no such thing occurred, according to budget analysts.
- Receipts from individual income taxes rose to $446 billion in fiscal 1989 -- President Reagan's last budget -- from $286 billion in fiscal 1981, the year Reagan began to slash personal tax rates -- a 56 percent increase.
- Annualized, tax receipts grew faster than that period's 4 percent inflation.
- During the same period, federal spending rose from $678 billion to $1.143 trillion -- a 69 percent increase.
From 1981 to 1983, personal income tax receipts rose 1 percent -- while spending surged 19 percent. This was during a bad recession. After the recession, the Reagan tax cuts worked and revenues soared.
- From 1984 to 1989, growth in personal tax receipts outstripped growth in spending, 50 percent to 34 percent.
- And the deficit fell from 5 percent of gross domestic product to 2.9 percent.
- After 1989, the deficit ballooned again as revenues dried up following an increase in tax rates.
- From 1989 to 1993, personal tax receipts rose just 14 percent, while spending rose 23 percent
Then there is the evidence of the beneficial economic effects of President Kennedy's tax cuts.
- In 1964, the economy grew by 5.8 percent -- followed by 6.4 percent growth the following two years.
- The increasing tax revenues following from the surging economy led to a balanced budget by 1969 -- the last time that the government was able to balance its books.
But either sloppy thinking or purposeful confusion perpetuates the myth that tax cuts produce higher federal deficits.

To the girded loins of many a first-person shooter fan, Infinity Ward has all but confirmed that they are working on a remastered version of Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare...
...By posting a poop emoji on the official Call of Duty Twitter account.
Rumors began when PS4 online store advertisements began showing up for "Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare," slated for a release during November of this year. Leaked pictures of a retail advertisement confirm the PlayStation®Store sightings, as well as an included copy of a remastered version of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
These leaks and rumors may seem dubious on their own, but the Infinity Ward and Call of Duty twitter accounts have tweeting cryptic and snide little tidbits of information of their own today.
In addition to the out of the blue poop emoji response pictured above, the official Infinity Ward Twitter account tweeted a reference to the Modern Warfare games earlier today:
Is it possible that these "leaks" are just cruel hoaxes, created in vengeance by your angry mother? It's certainly possible, but based on the "confirmations" of the two official Twitter accounts, I'd say that this looks legit.
Are you excited to revisit Frag x3 and M16's on Bog? I'm just happy that this isn't a Modern Warfare 2 remake, I'd never known true pain until I played that broken mess.

Dr. Kern Wildenthal has been appointed president of the Children's Medical Center Foundation and executive vice president of Children's Medical Center.
Wildenthal will be responsible for fundraising programs to support the nation's fifth-largest not-for-profit pediatric hospital.
"Dr. Kern Wildenthal shares our vision for making Children's one of the top five pediatric health care systems in the nation," said Christopher J. Durovich, president and CEO of Children's Medical Center. "Our progress involves new initiatives that require additional sources of funding. To have a leader of the caliber and the demonstrated commitment to health care in our community like Kern offers the opportunity to deepen our collaboration with UT Southwestern to create leading-edge clinical, scientific and educational programs. We are proud he joins us at this exciting and critical time in our history as we celebrate our 100th year of service."
Wildenthal served 42 years at UT Southwestern Medical Center in a variety of positions, including faculty, graduate school dean, medical school dean and president. He retired after 22 years as president and served four years as the president of the Southwestern Medical Foundation.
"Kern Wildenthal has a unique combination of experience in institutional administration, clinical medicine, education, biomedical research and philanthropic leadership," said Steve Gruber, chairman of the board of the Children's Medical Center Foundation. "He will raise the recognition of Children's and strengthen our fundraising capabilities to support our clinical excellence with leading-edge programs and research."
In a related announcement, Cyndi Bassel will retire after serving 33 years at UT Southwestern Medical Center, most recently as vice president for external relations. In July, she will become senior vice president of the Children's Medical Center Foundation and vice president of Children's Medical Center.
"Children's Medical Center ranks among the nation's top pediatric hospitals and is one of North Texas' greatest assets," Wildenthal said. "In my prior roles in the Southwestern Medical District, I became intimately familiar with the superb quality of care at Children's, and it is exciting to have the opportunity to work directly with Children's outstanding board, management and staff to help the hospital and its research institute reach their full potential."
In 2011, Children's partnered with UTSW to create the Children's Medical Center Research Institute at UT Southwestern. The institute will house 150 scientists and physicians whose mission is to advance the treatment of cancer, birth defects and metabolic diseases.
William T. Solomon, chairman of Southwestern Medical Foundation, said: "Children's and UT Southwestern have had an extremely close and complementary relationship in terms of mission, history, culture, staffing and location. This move is an all-around win for all the related institutions and foundations."

our waters
Clean water is priceless
We can't put a price tag on clean water. It's an essential ingredient that sustains our well-being, nourishes a healthy environment, and enhances our economic vitality.
The quality of life we enjoy depends on having a clean, abundant supply. But a lot of us don't realize how our daily routines can have an impact on water quality.
Keeping clean water flowing into our homes and businesses means keeping our waterways clean. It's extremely important because all of our creeks drain into the Trinity River – the main source of drinking water for millions of Texans, including us.
Sources of pollution: urban runoff
Did you know that the Environmental Protection Agency reports that more than 50% of the nation's waterways sampled are classified as impaired? One of the key sources of water pollution is urban runoff. And the actions we take or don't take are what makes it so bad.
Urban runoff is the water that flows over our lawns, streets, and parking lots after it rains. It picks up harmful substances along the way – like oil, pesticides, fertilizers, bacteria, dirt and trash – and washes them into storm drains. And unlike sanitary sewers, storm drains empty directly into the nearest body of water without filtration or treatment.
Choose clean, take action
Keeping North Texas waterways clean is something we all want. It's a simple choice that takes some simple actions. Here are a few to get you started:
- Reverse Litter. Clean out your car. Pick up the trash that seems to linger after every kids' sporting event. Don't throw litter in the back of your pick-up. Go the extra few steps to find a trash can or recycle bin.
- Car Care. Wash your car at a commercial car wash – even biodegradable soaps are toxic to fish and wildlife. Recycle by taking used oil and anti-freeze to a repair shop. Take care of car leaks as soon as possible. Use absorbent materials that can be thrown away instead of "hosing down."
- Lawn and Landscape Care. Use a mulching mower or blade and leave grass clippings on the lawn. Or try composting them to produce a nutrient rich soil mulch. Don't blow or sweep yard waste down a storm drain. Pick up after your pets.
- Pesticides & Fertilizers. Use chemical pesticides as a last resort. Pesticides can kill creatures that benefit the environment, as well. Apply recommended amounts – twice as much does not do twice the job. Use slow release fertilizers. Don't apply before it rains – chemicals may be washed down a storm drain and become a serious threat to creeks and wildlife.
- Household products. Read the label and follow directions for proper use and disposal. Purchase effective non-toxic, biodegradable, and recyclable products. Buy only the amount you need. Clean paint brushes (latex, or water-based paints) in the sink, not the street. Landfills are not designed for household chemicals – take unused portions to a chemical collection center or a household hazardous waste collection event.

President Michel Martelly was elected in 2010 with great hope for reforms, but in the wake of slow recovery and parliamentary elections that are three years overdue, his popularity has suffered tremendously, forcing Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe to resign.

CNN Anderson Cooper 360-Transcript
COOPER: Bill, we will talk to you and everyone else, our panel, throughout these next two hours.
With us now is Senator Barack Obama, Democratic senator from Illinois, who recently set up a presidential exploratory committee.
Senator, thanks for being with us.
What did you actually like in the president's speech tonight? Did you hear anything that you would be eager to support?
SEN. BARACK OBAMA (D), ILLINOIS: Well, a couple of things.
Look, the -- the president recognized that health care and energy are two critical issues facing the country. And I think he put forward some serious proposals, not necessarily ones that I would have put forward. But they're serious ways to engage the problem.
And I think the Democrats should be constructive. We should sit down with the president, and say that we are ready and willing to sit down and see if we can make progress on those two critical issues. So, I think that was -- that was an area where we could get some work going.
I think, as was stated earlier, the pall over the room was Iraq. And I would agree with some of your commentators earlier that, from my perspective, at least, I did not see the president charting out a new course that would persuade either myself or the American people that -- that we're going about this thing in the right way.
COOPER: We heard an argument from this president tonight that we have heard often in the past.
Do you believe the president's argument that fighting terrorists in Iraq will keep us from fighting them here at home?
OBAMA: No.
I think the -- the president's logic is flawed. And I think that this enterprise has been flawed. The question now is, moving forward, how can we make sure that our troops have a mission that helps to stabilize Iraq, but start bringing them home?
And it's interesting. Over the last two weeks, we have had countless hearings in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee across the political spectrum. And what's striking is almost total unanimity on the belief that this strategy that the president is pursuing, in escalating troop levels, is not going to work, and that, in fact, we should be doing the reverse.
We should start drawing down our troops, redeploying them to fight in Afghanistan and other places, and to put pressure on not only the Iraqi government, but on other regional powers, to come with a political solution.
COOPER: You favor, as you just said, this phased redeployment, along with regional diplomacy, and a cap on the number of U.S. troops.
We just saw one of the bloodiest weekends for both U.S. forces and Iraqi civilians. How can limiting U.S. troops or -- or pulling them out, redeploying them, actually reduce violence or prevent a civil war from breaking out?
OBAMA: Well, look, I don't think we're going to stem all the violence anytime soon. But the key to dealing with the violence is making sure that Sunni and Shia and Kurd sit down and recognize that they all have a stake in preventing total meltdown.
What's preventing some of that conversation from taking place is the belief that we are going to be able to hold this thing together. And, as a consequence, there are a number of parties that are acting irresponsibly. We have to be sending a signal that the dynamic needs to change; we are not going to be there in perpetuity.
And that doesn't mean there aren't some serious, significant risks involved. It just means that it's probably the best of the bad options that we have available to us at this point.
Obviously, in 2002, in the run-up to this war, I feared that this would be an open-ended commitment. I, as a consequence, was strongly opposed to the war.
The president is correct that we are now in it. Where he's not correct is, is that we should somehow compound the mistake that he made when we went in there in the first place.
COOPER: You know, the White House argues, look, they have a new strategy. They have a new commander, a man they want to be the commander, General Petraeus. If this is the -- really the final chance, as Republicans and Democrats seem to agree on, why not give them time to see if it works?
OBAMA: Well, look, Anderson, the problem is, is that six months ago I sat in a Senate foreign relations hearing, listening to Ambassador Khalilzad, the ambassador for the United States to Iraq, tell us that we needed about six more months.
Each six-month period seems to bring a new plan and a new approach. At some point we've got to make a decision that the responsibility is on the Iraqi government to make sure that they're coming up with some sort of political solution to this problem, and so far at least we have not been willing to hold them accountable. It's time for us to change that strategy.
COOPER: Your critics will say that a phased withdrawal or a cap on the level of troops is sort of arbitrary and that it's not a strategy for winning. Do you see it as a strategy for winning or is it a strategy for domestic politics here at home?
OBAMA: No, I think what's critical is for us to change the strategy in Iraq, because the president's right, we have important national security objectives that have to be met in the Middle East. That's part of the reason that, despite being opposed to the war, I nevertheless have resisted any kind of precipitous withdrawal.
And I think that one of the things that's important in this conversation is to make sure that those who support the escalation of troop levels aren't allowed to suggest that somehow the alternative is either an escalation or an immediate and complete withdrawal.
What we are saying is we can provide logistics, we can provide training, we can provide counter-insurgency support. We want to keep our forces in the region. What we can't do is continue the approach that does not ensure the sort of political solutions that are needed in Iraq.
COOPER: The president, talking about a lot of other issues. The president he talked about a number of other issues, gasoline, trying to reduce America's dependence on foreign oil, energy, immigration.
Do you believe that he -- there was a lot of talk about reaching out across the aisle. A, do you really believe that talk? Or is that the kind of talk we always hear from politicians? And is there really anything the president can get done from the things he talked about tonight?
OBAMA: Well, as I said, I think his proposals on health care and energy are legitimate approaches from his perspective to deal with these issues. They're not approaches that I would take, but I think it's important for us to have these conversations with him and see if we can work together.
I would hope that he is serious about it. I would argue that in the last State of the Union, he said that we had to overcome our addiction to foreign oil and, unfortunately, we didn't see any significant follow-through from there.
So this time may be different. He's going to have some difficulties moving things forward, obviously in a Democratically controlled Congress, but I don't think that we should obstruct conversations to see if we can find some common ground.
COOPER: In recent days, a conservative magazine published rumors that were picked up by another cable news channel, that you attended a madrasah as a child in Indonesia. CNN did its own investigation. We sent a reporter to the school, found out it's a public school; it's not a madrasah.
Do you think this is a sign of things to come? How much, I guess, did your middle name, your father's religious background, how much do you think that's going to be used against you by your opponents?
OBAMA: You know, when I ran for the United States Senate, right after the -- I won the primary, there were some political operatives that put up a web site that superimposed my face over bin Laden. And you know, full with the beard and the turban. We ended up winning that race 70 percent to 30 percent.
The American people are smarter than that. They understand that this kind of cheap politics that engages in -- in misinformation are not going to solve the problems of healthcare, education, you know, people's concern about pensions, the basic stuff that people are grappling with right now.
And so if I go ahead with the presidential race, what they're going to be listening for is a message of change, a message of leadership. If they think I've got a vision for the country that can help them secure a future for themselves and their children, then I think I'll do fine.
COOPER: Were you surprised the president didn't mention New Orleans, didn't mention the Gulf Coast?
OBAMA: I was surprised and disappointed. We're going to be having a hearing with the homeland security committee on Monday in New Orleans. It seems to have been lost in some of the debates here in Washington.
But when you listen to the folks in New Orleans and what they're still going through, I think it's important for the president to continue to show some leadership. It's been absent over the last several months.
COOPER: Senator Barack Obama, I appreciate your time. Thank you, sir.
OBAMA: Thank you, Anderson. I appreciate it.

"This recipe is quick and easy to put together. I pre-cook my hamburger with onions and peppers and freeze it in individual meal portions - makes for extremely quick meals like this or spaghetti or some such meal. I use low-fat cheese and fat-free sour cream to reduce the fat (it still tastes great!), but you can use the regular kind if you prefer."
Hamburger Hash Brown Casserole
0 recipe photos
READY IN:1hr
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 lb hamburger
- 1⁄2 medium onion, chopped
- 1⁄2 medium green pepper, chopped
- 0.5 (30 ounce) bag frozen hash browns
- 1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
- 3⁄4 cup nonfat sour cream
- 1⁄2 cup low-fat grated cheddar cheese
- 2 teaspoons beef bouillon
- fresh ground pepper
- crushed Ritz crackers (optional) or panko breadcrumbs (optional)
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees farenheit.
- Brown hamburger, onion and green pepper together until hamburger is no longer pink. Drain off extra fat.
- Turn off heat and stir in the rest of the ingredients. I like to pop the hash browns into the microwave for about 5 minutes (stirring midway through) before I stir them into the mixture (to reduce the final baketime), but this is not necessary.
- Spray lube a 9x11 baking dish and pour in mixture. Sprinkle the Ritz crackers or Panko bread crumbs over top if desired. Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
- Bake 35-45 minutes or until hot and bubbly. If you use the crackers or bread crumbs, remove foil for last 5 minutes to brown the top.

Dear Orgasm-
First let me say, that I love you, and I wish you would come home. Its been awhile since i've felt you burst into my being, and give me that blissful "AHHHH" feeling that I love. I feel the difference since you've left: my back isn't nearly as flexible, my bones crack, and my mood leaves much to be desired.
I know, Orgasm, that I left you alone for quite some time. I hope you understand, that I realize how rare you are for most women (and that really is a shame), but I just needed to focus on things that, were, quite frankly, more important than you. When I did strive to experience you again, you came right back. My old friend, Orgasm. I met you often, and we were great together.
But now Orgasm, we will have to figure other ways of seeing each other. Somehow I believed that I would see you on a regular basis, once I got into a relationship. That plan has been changed, and though I want to be with him very much, not seeing you is torture.
So Orgasm, I am asking you one favor, and one favor only: Don't be stubborn. I know how you prefer to arrive...with a man in tow..slowly, but not too slowly, fast, but not too fast. Unfortunately, now you'll have to arrive through stimulating packages or even I will bring you myself. Neither of us want to prolong these experiences, so, come quickly. Please be on time for our dates. I would like to see you soon, especially since you've been ALL OVER town. I hear you arriving in the apartment above. I hear all about your travels in my music, I read it in my books, I even see it on my tv. Sometimes you even visit me in my dreams, and it frustrates me to find that you aren't really there.
Orgasm, I have said all this, and I still miss you. I will miss you until you return to me. You can visit as much as you like. I just want you to come back. Also, when you do bring the boy that you always have in tow, make sure you visit both of us, he'll like that.
More from love

Discussion in 'The Beginner' started by jgee, Aug 18, 2010.
tried to stop fire from rattling whilst moterhome is being driven but no such luke anybody any ideas
I have the same problem.
A well-placed rubber door wedge between the grill works well.
Must remember to remove it when you light the fire though
How about the infamous tea towel
Everything rattles in ours, we've got foam & towels everywhere, but we love her to death. Seems to be getting better though, unless we've just got used to it, unless it's a new rattle, we don't notice anymore
Have tried to stop fires making a noise on various vans, on last one went to all sorts of trouble even taking it apart, tightened everything, it worked a treat on test run.
Then we lit the fire, back to square one, lost interest after that.
Dave :thumb::thumb:
i have the same problem, i have taken the front cover off and tightened all the screws i could see and on the back heat shield as well, also the blower motor housing was loose which was tightened , not took the van out for a test run yet , but if the rattles come back i will be using small bolts and lock nuts and hope that works

Republican Health Care Haters Should Reject Theirs Too, Say Dems
In the "hypocrite accountability" files: a letter is circulating around the House suggesting that Republicans who want to cut health care should reject their own government-funded health care, too. Drafted by New York Rep. Joe Crowley, the letter points out that Republican calls for health care repeal are a sham:
"If your conference wants to deny millions of Americans affordable health care, your members should walk that walk," Crowley writes in a letter to House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).
"You cannot enroll in the very kind of coverage that you want for yourselves, and then turn around and deny it to Americans who don't happen to be Members of Congress. We also want to note that in 2011, the Federal government will pay $10,503.48 of the premiums for each member of Congress with a family policy under the commonly selected Blue Cross standard plan."
As Think Progress points out, the baloney runs deep–55 Republicans are on Medicare, yet none of them support health care for the average American. In the most recent case–and the one that prompted Crowley to draft his letter–Maryland Rep. Andy Harris, a doctor who won on a government-sponsored health care-hating platform, spent his first Congressional orientation session demanding his government-sponsored health care.
"He stood up and asked the two ladies who were answering questions why it had to take so long, what he would do without 28 days of health care," Thrush reports. "'Harris then asked if he could purchase insurance from the government to cover the gap,' added the aide [who witnessed the encounter], who was struck by the similarity to Harris's request and the public option he denounced as a gateway to socialized medicine."
More explicitly:
During an event at the Cecil County Patriots Candidate Forum in February 2010, Harris claimed "there is no constitutionality mandated role for the federal government in health care," and criticized Medicare and Medicaid. Turning his attention to the health care reform legislation then moving through Congress, he described the public option as "a terrible idea," adding, "you can't have government-run health care, it's just not right."
Interestingly, one Republican has pledged to reject his government health care, along with other Congressional bennies. Bobby Shilling, incoming Rep from Illinois, told ABC's Top Line that "Congress shouldn't have anything better than the American people." We'll see how many of his colleagues follow his lead, but something tells us not many will.

Shrimp Spinach Salad Recipe
Monday's Leftovers: Spinach Salad With Shrimp and Mango
Serves 4.
What do you do when you have spinach and shrimp left over from savory Greek shrimp skewers? The key to not tiring of repeat ingredients is to steer your meal in an entirely different culinary direction. Take a hint from ripe, in-season mangoes, and use them to build on a tropical theme. Sauté shrimp in lime juice, garlic, and cayenne for a little Latin spice, then coat them in a sunny-themed cilantro and mango purée to offset the heat. With lime-pickled onions adding some acid and bite, you've got a plate of brand-new, exciting flavors. Make this tonight when you keep reading.

Diversification evidence from international equity markets using extreme values and stochastic copulas
Tail dependence plays an important role in financial risk management and determination of whether two markets crash or boom together. However, the linear correlation is unable to capture the dependence structure among financial data. Moreover, given the reality of fat-tail or skewed distribution of financial data, normality assumption for risk measure may be misleading in portfolio development. This paper proposes the use of conditional extreme value theory and time-varying copula to capture the tail dependence between the Australian financial market and other selected international stock markets. Conditional extreme value theory enables the model adequacy and the tail behavior of individual financial variable, while the time-varying copula can fully disclose the changes of dependence structure over time. The combination of both proved to be useful in determining the tail dependence. The empirical results show an outperformance of the model in the analysis of tail dependence, which has an important implication in cross-market diversification and asset pricing allocation.

Crosfields School approached us with a dated website that needed a major re-vamp to bring the school's online marketing presence in-line with their excellent academic offerings and school community. It was important that the school is well positioned online to compete against competition schools in the area. An important part of the development was functionality including a fully responsive platform for web users.
We worked with the school's in-house marketing department to discuss the key requirements on the site in terms of functionality, design and target audience. It was clear that the website had two key tasks; to attract more students to the school and to also act as a powerful resource for current students and their parents.
The new website is a great success - not just in how the site looks but how the website interacts with the different users it has. The site is packed full of functionality to help the school streamline internal processes such as school trip bookings, parent evening registrations, activities session booking, swimming lesson booking, photo galleries and much more!

20 Oct LPN | Licensed Practical Nurse Programs
Becoming a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) is your first step to a career in nursing and can be the start of a long and rewarding journey.
An LPN is an entry-level job in nursing and qualifies you to help Registered Nurses (RNs) and physicians provide essential healthcare to patients in hospitals, nursing homes and doctor's surgeries.
As a licensed practical nurse, you will help RNs monitor patients and take their vital signs. You'll also prepare and deliver injections and medication, perform routine lab tests, collect laboratory samples, help feed and bathe infants and assist patients with their general hygiene and grooming.
To qualify as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), you will need to undertake a comprehensive 12-month nursing program. This will teach you the fundamentals of nursing, basic healthcare, nutrition and even identifying poisons. You can enroll in an LPN program through colleges, universities and private nursing schools in all US states.
You need to be at least 18 years of age and have your high school diploma with good grades in biology, science and math to be accepted into an LPN nursing program. An overall grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.0 on a scale of 4.0 or 2.5 on a scale of 5.0 is essential and credits from health and science-related high school subjects are very beneficial.
Most nursing schools require you to have your transcript of records (TOR) mailed directly from your high school to the LPN nursing school. Transcripts delivered by hand by applicants are usually rejected so if you are applying to a licensed practical nurse program do not overlook this requirement. A general education development (GED) certificate is necessary if you have been home schooled.
Many LPN nursing schools require at least three character references as well, so ask your high school principal, teachers or any one who knows you well to provide a written reference. If you have undertaken volunteer nursing work at an aged-care home or completed a first-aid course you can ask for references from them.
Some LPN nursing programs require you to complete a pre-entrance examination testing you on basic science, math, grammar and English comprehension. Depending on how well you do, you may be asked to complete pre-requisite courses covering biology, chemistry, algebra, English and basic healthcare.
Once you have been accepted into an LPN program, you will generally undertake a one-year diploma or certificate program to train as a Licensed Practical Nurse or Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) if you are training in California or Texas. The terms LPN and LVN are interchangeable and both perform the same nursing duties.
Many LPN programs are structured as the first year of a two-year Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN). This mean that once you have successfully completed your first year's study can can either stop there and start working as a Licensed Practical Nurse or continue with the second year to become a Registered Nurse (RN).
LPN nursing schools and educational programs typically involve 12 months of study and training at a hospital, community college or technical vocational school. Depending on the nursing school that you apply to, tuition costs for LPN programs start around $2000 and many institutions offer students financial aid, scholarships, grants and other financial assistance to pay for their education.
It is extremely important that you only undertake a fully accredited LVN nursing program. If the program is not accredited you will not be able to sit for the National Council Licensure Examination – Practical Nurse (NCLEX-PN) to get your nursing license. Without the license you will not be able to be employed as a licensed practical nurse. Individual states administer the NCLEX-PN exam to nursing students.
Your LPN license must be renewed every three years and many US states require you to have undergone additional nursing education during that time-frame such as nursing seminars, nursing courses, workshops and advanced healthcare training. This is in addition to the experience you have obtained working as a licensed practical nurse in a hospital or medical center.
Once they have finished their LPN program and passed the NCLEX-PN examination, many young nurses get a job immediately. Some are content to remain as a Licensed Practical Nurse throughout their career but for most it's the stepping-stone to become a Registered Nurse (RN). Or even a Nurse Practitioner (NP), which requires completing a four-year Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree or a Master's Degree in Nursing.
To become an RN, you will need to undertake an additional 12-months nursing training after you have finished your LPN course so you are eligible to sit the National Council Licensure Examination – Registered Nurse (NCLEX-RN) exam and obtain your RN nursing license.
One of the most popular ongoing study programs for any new Licensed Practical Nurse is the LPN to BSN bridging program. This gives you the opportunity to study for your Bachelor's degree in nursing which for many hospitals today is an entry-level requirement to get a job with them.
Whatever you decide, there are many career opportunities once you have qualified as a licensed practical nurse. New advances in medical technology and a Federal push for more community healthcare centers means that LPNs have more career choices than ever today.
Job opportunities for a licensed practical nurse are projected to grow by 22 percent over the next eight years with the greatest demand coming from community home health services, nursing homes and aged-care homes. America's fast aging Baby Boomer population means that millions of elderly people will require round-the-clock health care in the coming decades.
As a licensed practical nurse, you will play an essential role in caring for those elderly patients who have routine surgery performed at a medical center or doctor's office. You may be required to provide assistance both in the medical facility and at the patient's home because of this growing trend to move more care out of hospitals. A licensed practical nurse you can expect a starting salary of around $40,000 annually.

With visions of sugarplums dancing through my head constantly from around September onwards, I eagerly (and somewhat obsessively) await the festive season every year. As heralded by my son opening the first box on his advent calendar this morning to liberate the toy hidden within, as far as I am concerned, Christmas is (finally!) upon us. It feels like it gets earlier every year, and this year is no exception – especially as far as the malware authors are concerned. There are several reports that the inevitable holiday-themed lures for distributing malware have already started making the rounds.
Every year the ne'er-do-wells trundle out the same set of tricks to distribute their malware and take advantage of people's better nature, and the additional opportunities for sensitive data theft as shoppers flock to the Internet to purchase gifts and other festive treats. Regardless of the simplicity of this basest style of social engineering attack, it must be successful or I guess we wouldn't see so much of it every year.
The basic holiday-themed attack has varied little, if at all, through the years and across various holidays. Generally, the attacker sends a malicious e-mail that appears to notify the target that they have received an e-card that says "Happy <insert holiday here>". The e-mail also contains a link that the target can use in order to 'see' their card. Clicking on the link downloads a malicious executable that compromises the user's machine, often opening a backdoor that places the machine under the attacker's control. Colourful animations and music tend to feature in these lures (and who doesn't like dancing snowmen/candycanes/santas/Christmas trees/champagne bottles, etc?) Of course, Christmas isn't the only popular theme for bait, the New Year also finds its share of fans in the malware distributing underground.
So, while musing about the delights of the coming festive season, spare a thought for your safety online, and don't be fooled by the dancing Santas.
Oh, and maybe consider sending your cards via snail mail this year.
Happy Holidays,
MMPC - Melbourne

These decisions signal an evolution in thinking about gender dysphoria—a medical condition in which patients know their gender to be other than the one they were born with. Nearly every major medical body, including the American Medical Association, has come to describe therapy, hormones, and, for some, surgery as a medically necessary step toward helping transgender individuals lead healthy and happy lives.
But the opposition is fierce—and sometimes vicious.
I recently attended an administrative hearing on removing transgender health-care exclusions in state insurance plans. A dentist sitting on a panel of health-care policy makers who will determine covered benefits asked me how gender dysphoria wasn't like "giving people who want to amputate their limbs access to amputation." I explained that gender-confirmation surgery is "reconstructive, as the end results are functional and healthy." He was not sold, although he later admitted, "The idea of it—just the idea—scares me."
He's hardly alone. Family Research Council president Tony Perkins wrote in the Christian Post this month, "Americans are free to disfigure their bodies—but they aren't free to ask taxpayers to foot the bill." He argued that while transgender people enjoy expensive cosmetic surgeries on the government's dime, veterans were dying for lack of care.
Despite what that dentist or Perkins may think, these interventions help save lives and tax dollars.
