Ground-breaking retrofit stepper system for pipe organs
News from Maggie Pemberton in Munich Dear Club Members, This time I would like to tell you about a ground-breaking retrofit stepper system which has only just hit the market. It is a registered Utility Model and has been developed by Munich-based Burkhard Fischer of "fionic GmbH, Ingenieurbüro für Softwareentwicklung". Burkhard Fischer is an organ-player and engineer in one – but modestly declines to be regarded as a kind of "organists' Einstein". One of the most striking aspects of the fionic system is the fact that it is external. Everything can be prepared with great ease and at lightning speed with a few simple mouse clicks on a small laptop or "notebook". Another handy feature is that there is a menu in which you can store your combinations alphabetically (e.g. by composer), numerically (e.g. by BWV number) or even by recital date or type of church service. Installation, carried out by Burkhard Fischer personally, is unobtrusive. There are only some cables at the back of the console; the couple of new pistons/toe pistons go virtually unnoticed and the only other thing you see is the laptop itself, which is normally placed somewhere on the console near the music desk, and which can be disconnected and locked away after use. The dimensions of this new invention can be more readily grasped when you consider the rather unwieldy five-manual console of the Theatinerkirche here in Munich, which basically has just the typical three rows of "free combinations" on offer. This is obviously enough to accompany a Mass, but clearly presents a concert organist with severe limitations. Exterior of the Theatinerkirche. To the left and in the background, the green domes on the west towers of the Cathedral or "Frauenkirche" Interior of the Theatinerkirche (length 72.5m, width 15.5m, height 28.55m). The pipes of the Schuster organ are concealed in a high chamber opposite the pulpit Closer view of the high altar and east end. Most of the Eisenbarth ranks are underneath the visible pipes behind the altar Pedals of the Theatinerkirche console. Bottom row left are the 5 new toe pistons for the free combinations, plus an extra + stepper piston to the left of the crescendo roller. Bottom row right are the +/- steppers and the canceller (0) Console of the Theatinerkirche with the laptop at top right. Some new pistons can be seen under the dial on the left side of the music desk St. Rupert Ingolstadt One of the most hair-raising hazards in the Theatinerkirche is the fact that several rows of vital couplers etc. are located effectively out of sight behind the music desk. Once you've put up a Bach album or the gigantic RC hymnbook (measuring approx. 30x23x5 cm when closed and weighing in at over 2 kilos) you have no chance whatsoever of checking – let alone spontaneously altering – what's going on there. When playing at this console you have to swivel your head wildly from left to right, run your eyes up and down extensive arrays of knobs, scan across all the thumb pistons and squint down around your feet if you suddenly feel the urge to check which ranks and couplers you've actually drawn while in the middle of a hymn. This is exceedingly difficult. Especially if you are simultaneously trying to keep one eye on the tiny monitor (located during Mass on the top left of the console) focused on the priest, and the other eye on the capricious bulky gadget designed for the organist to indicate the hymn and verse numbers for the congregation in the nave (located...Read More
Straightforward Organ Music
Colin Mawby Composer profile from MelBay There are many levels of contemporary organ composition ranging from the extremely difficult to the very straightforward. Most organ composers wish to be seen as great writers who produce difficult and challenging pieces which will achieve quick recognition and be played by the world's top virtuosi. This is a praiseworthy ambition but it is rarely fulfilled. If one studies the ability of organists one sees that about 95% are ordinary players who perform in church on Sundays on not very good instruments. Of these 95%, very few are professional players and many have only a basic technique. Many are reasonably open-minded about repertoire and welcome new music which is written for players of their ability who have little time to practice. They take great pride in their work and always offer their insights and talents to congregations and give them voluntaries which raise their hearts and minds to the Creator. I plead for composers to write for this important group; take it seriously and produce music which is tuneful, attractive and appealing. These organists are never going to play virtuoso music – they can manage a simplified version of Widor's Toccata but not much beyond this. If one looks at the great output of French organ music, one sees that composers like Franck, Lefebure-Wely and others wrote much very pleasant music for precisely this market. It did not prevent them establishing a reputation as great virtuoso composers – quite the contrary. Contemporary composers should write for this market and extend its repertoire. Many ordinary organists will applaud and thank them for doing this essential and valuable work.

An Organist's Life in Israel
At the music presentation for Itzhak Rabin Sarabande from Symphony for Organ #1, 'Jewish' (excerpt, MP3) I learned to play organ in the Gorky conservatory in the class of Russian organist Galina Kozlova, who, unfortunately, died at the peak of her artistic career. In 1990 I emigrated to Israel, unaware that in Israel an organist is about as useful as an Arctic researcher. Nonetheless, I soon became involved in various concerts and festivals, which gave me hope for a bright musical future. I was especially proud to perform frequently with musicians from the famous Tel-Aviv Symphony Orchestra. My concert activity I started the career of a concert organist through meeting a Swiss lady, Margrit Pfister. While she was neither a musician nor artist manager, she very successfully arranged my organ performances in various countries. Organist and musicologist Peter Brusius from Marburg also helped me immensely. I dedicated my organ symphonies No. 2 and 3 to Margrit and Peter. Thus, I have been concertizing throughout Europe for 13 years. I am fortunate to have performed in: Berlin Dom Berlin, Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtnis Church Rome, Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri Marburg, St. Elisabeth Church Düsseldorf, Neander Church Basel Cathedral (also for "Commemorating the 1st Zionist Congress) Basel, St. Peter Church Jerusalem, all churches Rotterdam, St. Laurens Church Frankfurt am Main, St.Katharin Church And, of course, Cologne Cathedral, where I flew just hours after having participated in my wife's labor and delivery of our child. In the future, there are performances planned in München Dom, in Gent Cathedral, in Dresden's Kreuzkirche, and in Luxemburg's Sacre-Coeur. My life in Israel as organist and composer I made my home in northern Israel, in the lovely town of Carmiel. It is quite far from the cultural centers. There I started teaching piano in the local conservatory. Of course, it was impossible to make a living on the conservatory salary, and through a big personal favor I obtained a job very far removed from organ music — in the department of street sanitation. When the Israeli media learned about this, I was featured in the news and the most popular TV shows. There were films made about me, and I became so well known that people recognized me in the streets and stopped their cars to say "hello" to me. That's when I got a call from the office of then-Prime Minister Itzhak Rabin and was asked to perform at one of his meetings. An electronic organ, "Johannus", was brought, and I played Bach chorales (whose content doesn't fit Judaism very well), and the "Toccata without Fugue" in d. Everyone was very happy, and Rabin said he's known about me for a while and values me. In 1993 I was invited to the Rubin Academy of Music and Dance in Jerusalem to teach organ. In spite of the long distance between my home and the Academy (200 km/124 miles) I drove there once a week after my night job, taught organ, and returned the same day to work at night once again. This lasted for four years. There was no pipe organ in the Academy, and my lessons were taught on the electronic "Johannus" to the very few people in Israel who want to study organ. I started composing for the organ after the 1995 assassination of Itzhak Rabin. My first piece is titled "Mourning Itzhak Rabin". For a long time, I wanted to hear Jewish music on the organ, and decided to start contributing to that cause. After a few new pieces, I composed the "Jewish Symphony" for the organ, which became my "calling card". Swiss...Read More

Ya. I may subcontract him to do all my yards. That will cut way back on my overhead.
I will admit... all the criticism may be justified.
But also learn a lesson from it!!! Over the years I've worked for with some so called ...intelligent.. individuals that fancied themselves designers. I have seen them turn out crap just like this and worse, while spending thousands of dollars to produce it.
My rant here is because it is easy to do......... a n y b o d y ... can design, and print whatever they want. And 80% of it is just crap.
There are professionals in all fields. We should seek them out... if we want to appear professional when we advertise.

In Her Shoes
dir. Curtis Hanson
After his adaptation of L.A. Confidential assured his spot in tough guy Valhalla, director Curtis Hanson has delighted in tackling a variety of subjects, from the dope-smoking academia of Wonder Boys to 8 Mile's thuglife biopic. However disparate the content, what united these projects was Hanson's keen sense of character and tone—somehow he always found a smooth vector through the material. Riding a wave of Oscar buzz, In Her Shoes finds Hanson tackling the dreaded women's picture, with remarkably palatable results. He can't avoid all the weepy pitfalls, but his essential decency makes the copious tears and cute dogs and group hugs feel justified.
Based on Jennifer Weiner's bestseller, the premise quickly sets up its basic conflict: Introduced with a lulu of a thong shot, Cameron Diaz's barely literate Philly party girl clashes with her type-A attorney sister (Toni Collette), as she lifts cash, boyfriends, and clothes at every opportunity. After a final transgression banishes Diaz to the Florida doorstep of her estranged grandmother (Shirley MacLaine, still possessing atomic-clock timing), the irradiated family unit must find a way to reunite.
Susannah (Erin Brockovich) Grant's script takes its sweet time cranking up the final resolution, but it sports enough unusual character beats to offset the lengthy running time. (The riffing between MacLaine and her fellow retirees would be worthy of a spin-off, if Golden Girls hadn't already scorched that respective earth.) The punchlines and reaction shots may occasionally veer off into sitcom land, but Hanson and company consistently win points by playing fair with the audience. Character arcs are broad but reasoned, plot devices are conveniently timed, yet never annoyingly so, and there isn't a single damned group sing-a-long to be found. ANDREW WRIGHT
Côte d'Azur
dir. Olivier Ducastel and Jacques Martineau
There's something sad about a title sequence more vivacious than anything in the sex farce it precedes. Côte d'Azur, the new movie by the writing/directing team behind The Adventures of Felix, opens with a silly song about the hazards of aphrodisiac shellfish (the film's French title is Crustacés et coquillages, or, roughly, Shellfish and Another Kind of Shellfish). The chorus to the song goes something like "Fruit of the sea, fruit of the sea, warning! Fruit of the sea, mysterious fruit, confusion!" It also rhymes. All too soon, however, the giddy animated squiggles and pastel starfish give way to the movie's labored plot.
Marc and Béatrix (Gilbert Melki and the always-radiant Valeria Bruni Tedeschi) are gay husband and oblivious straight wife on vacation at Marc's childhood home on the French Riviera. Their kids, a squirmy teen named Laura (Sabrina Seyvecou) and a pale Caravaggio type named Charly (Romain Torres), are flush with hormones—Laura quickly speeds off to Portugal with her biker boyfriend, and Charly spends all of his time jerking off in the shower. Meanwhile, Marc and Béatrix have athletic but perfunctory sex and stuff themselves with violets, the amatory shellfish of the title sequence. Then trouble comes along, in the form of Charly's homosexually active best friend. Béatrix decides that her pretty son is gay, goes off to hump her revolting faun of a lover, and remains utterly clueless as to her husband's sexual orientation.
Slammed doors and several disquieting intimations of incestuous desire ensue. Unfortunately, none of the pansexual hijinks is particularly funny. The score has a distressing tendency to accelerando whenever a character is nearing climax, the cinematographer can't even make the Mediterranean Sea look blue, and the halftime musical number is more awkward than cute. And did I mention Béatrix's lover is the ugliest human being I've ever seen? ANNIE WAGNER
Wallace & Gromit:The Curse of the Were-Rabbit
dir. Steve Box and Nick Park
It should be known that until seeing Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, I was never privy to the light-hearted goofiness of these Wallace and Gromit claymation characters. One is a goofy-looking Brit (Wallace), the other is a too-smart dog (Gromit), and together they invent elaborate and weird contraptions and get into all kinds of quirky trouble. Who knew?
So this time around, it's almost time for the annual vegetable fair, and the whole town has been taking great care in growing the very best produce possible. Problem is, a bunch of ravaging rabbits have been eating up as much of the harvest as their bunny faces can fit. This would be a problem, but luckily for everyone, Wallace and Gromit have invented the Bunny Vac 6000, a large vacuum that humanely sucks up the cutest frickin' bunnies in the whole wide world, and safely releases them to another location. Hooray! But you know how bunnies like to, ahem, breed, so of course the rabbit population keeps rising and rising despite Wallace's efforts. And in the meantime, the whole town, including the wealthy and highly sought-after Lady Tottington, is turning to Wallace and Gromit to find a more permanent solution to the problem.
Pressured by everyone in existence, Wallace and Gromit search for an answer. But in the midst of an experiment to reverse-engineer the bunnies' veggie-craving brains, they end up creating the biggest and most beastly bunny you've ever seen: the Were-Rabbit! Oh no!
The humor is just as funny as the classic Loony Tunes (which were funny!) but even smarter because it's not actually American-made. Which isn't to say Americans are stupid... ahem. MEGAN SELING
dir. Rob McKittrick
As any kid who has ever shot dairy products through his nasal passages can testify, the key to a great dirty gag isn't so much the content as the presentation. (See also: The Aristocrats, or just about any joke involving a truckload of dead babies.) Set within a bric-a-brac-studded theme restaurant, Waiting... aspires to be the grand champeen of the vulgar workplace comedy pioneered by Clerks, but the all-important rhythm between cast and script feels miserably off. Not to get all Joel Siegel-y or anything, but the delivery sucks.
Unaccountably, first-time director Rob McKittrick's script strands an awful lot of talented folks within his tired Kevin Smith–aping framework. (For what it's worth, best-of-show honors go to Alanna Ubach, who makes the most out of her lifer waitress stuck in a permanent state of high piss-off.) As the lead horndog, Ryan Reynolds seems visibly embarrassed by the quality of his quips, which must be a first. The director reportedly spent almost a decade as a server, which makes the various stale shenanigans of his characters—drunk line cooks, sexed-up waiters, booger-related acts of revenge against fussy customers—seem even less inspired. As far as the strangely hostile cheerfulness of chain eateries goes, Office Space did more with a single throwaway joke than McKittrick musters in three acts.
There's a lot to be said for gratuitous raunch, of course, especially in these overly sanitized days. Still, even graded on a generous lowbrow curve, Waiting... falls into the dreaded comedic dead zone—far from inspired, but not quite lousy enough to be train-wreck memorable, either. When the sight of venerable character actor Luis Guzman's scrotum causes nothing more than a mild uneasiness, something just ain't right. ANDREW WRIGHT
dir. Dave McKean
Artist Dave McKean's status as preferred wallpaperer to the goths is well deserved. Working as a cover artist for, among others, writer Neil Gaiman's legendary Sandman comic series, McKean's compositions incorporate bones, splinters, and junk-store detritus into a darkly creepy whole. At their best, his painted/photographed images carry a uniquely tactile vibe.
MirrorMask, McKean's much-anticipated feature-length directorial debut, shows that whatever his gifts, moving pictures may not yet be his medium. Taken on a shot-by-shot basis, McKean's talents for design are more than evident, with bizarro cityscapes and oddball characters rendered even more impressive by the miniscule $4 million budget. On a whole, however, the results are less Lewis Carroll and more Labyrinth. Working again with Gaiman, McKean has crafted a curious oddity: a unique new world, crammed to the gills with invention, which comes off as almost completely static. A fantasy can be a lot of things, but dull shouldn't be one of them.
Beginning at a tiny family-run circus, the premise comes dangerously close to overdosing on clowns and jugglers (be warned, Fellini-phobes) before settling down to the story proper: Faced with a sick mum, a precocious teen wakes up in a world of her drawings, with a mission to recover a magic talisman from a strangely familiar Dark Queen. Any Alice or Oz similarities are clearly intentional, which is part of the problem. Although studded with distracting bits—winged fish, giant conjoined twins, man-faced sphinxes with a literal taste for books—Gaiman's script seems rather too pleased by its own cleverness to bother doing much with the form. Despite the visual novelty, it seems there's still no place like home. ANDREW WRIGHT

Aaron has a gift for telling it exactly as he sees it, and whether that's him edifying Kid Rock, or embracing the greater aspects of Americana and punk rock, you know whatever you hear during this interview is 100% genuine Draplin, and we wouldn't have it any other way… even with all the F-Bombs.

Talking about climate
Climate change has gripped the corporate imagination. The unique range of threats and opportunities it represents; the fact that all economic sectors are implicated; high and rising public awareness: these things are combining to compel companies of all stripes to sit up and take notice.
One result is that firms are increasingly bringing climate change into their conversations with customers. A business conference held by ENDS in London in September demonstrated how complex a field this is and the numerous pitfalls that await the unwary company.
Britain is in many ways a test-bed for this discussion. The UK has lagged behind many of its neighbours in developing technical responses to environmental challenges. But its corporate sector and citizens are good at talking about green issues.
In response to public awareness of environmental issues British companies have long since used green messages in advertising. In the late 1980s when public consciousness of the world's threatened ozone layer was at its highest, one enterprising nappy manufacturer used the single word "eau-zone" on posters advertising its product.
Members of the public have been quick to complain if they detected 'greenwash': the first official ruling against corporate environmental claims dates back to 1988. Environmental groups have been active participants in the debate, regularly berating companies they believed were overstepping the mark.
The climate change debate is affecting all companies, and presentations at the ENDS conference demonstrated some of the key dos and don'ts for those choosing to – or being forced to – engage publicly.
It is essential for a firm to fully understand its own performance. As company after company has found, environmental issues are often exceedingly complex.
What seems to be the right answer on a cursory glance turns out to be wrong – or at least debatable – on a deeper look. The current confusion over whether transport biofuels are a good thing, neutral, or even downright awful, is a case in point.
Understanding the performance of competitors is equally important. Increasingly, the challenge for companies is not just to persuade customers that they are environmentally sensitive, but also that they are preferable to the opposition. Here the playing field is most definitely not level. Sectors with less obvious environmental impacts find it much easier to persuade consumers that they are green than traditional heavy industries, for example.
Companies selling aspirational goods also have an advantage. Toyota has had enormous success in presenting its hybrid Prius model as both desirable and green. Long-distance coach firms have a more difficult sell even though this is a far lower carbon form of travel – beating any other type of road or rail transport. Travelling by coach may be green, but it is not cool.
Either of these factors can be an obstacle, but firms can make a big difference if they make serious and systematic efforts to optimise their green performance before engaging publicly.
Another key lesson for companies is to engage with multiple stakeholders. Environmental groups are increasingly open to forging partnerships with business. Their endorsement can be a valuable component in any corporate environmental communications effort.
Investors are becoming just as important a stakeholder group. Initiatives like the Carbon Disclosure Project and green ranking initiatives like FTSE4Good mean there is increasingly no place for companies to hide from the climate or broader environmental agenda.
And the process has only just begun.

Hearings chief dismisses Carr 'little deals' claim
The chairman of the GAA's Central Hearings Committee yesterday strongly defended their integrity after some scathing attacks on them in the wake of the judgments handed down to Derrytresk ahead of the All-Ireland junior football final this weekend.
Liam Keane has also said he would have no difficulty in mirroring the AFL's template of holding disciplinary cases in public. Keane was reacting to comments from the previous night on RTE's 'Drivetime Sport' by former Dublin manager and captain Tommy Carr who suggested that "little deals" are often done in disciplinary and other matters.
Keane refuted this and has challenged Carr to withdraw this claim unless he can support it with evidence. But when contacted last night Carr said he stood over his comments and said it was a culture at all levels of the GAA to do deals.
"This is the GAA as I know it for the last 30 years and this culture was in place when I was around as a player too. I'm not for one moment questioning the integrity of this body, but everyone knows the practicalities of what goes on. That's the way it works," said Carr.
"I wouldn't have made the comments if I wasn't prepared to stand over them. This is the culture of the GAA that I know and am part of."
Derrytresk's Joe McKee was cleared to play in Sunday's final by the CHC, whose chairman is angered by Carr's assertion.
"One particular comment suggested that he was calling the integrity of the members of the CHC into question," Keane said. "I took grave exception to that. He made reference to little deals being done here and there which suggested that the proceedings were not conducted in a fair way and I'm sure he has no evidence and I would hope that he would withdraw that.
"This committee is in place for the last three years and never once has our integrity been called into question in the way in which it was done by Tommy. That's why I took grave offence to that.
"When people come before the hearings committee they may well be upset, they may well disagree with what is done, but nobody questioned our integrity."
Keane said he would be open to following the Australian model of making the hearings public, but admitted there were difficulties attached to that too for amateur players and administrators.
"I would have no difficulty with it being dealt with in public and I know the AFL conduct their hearings in public," he said.
Keane revealed the hearings committee did not conclude their business until 3.30 in the morning and the Derrytresk party were still in Croke Park to hear their findings.
"A full explanation was given to each of the seven players," Keane admitted. "I would have no issue with giving a full detailed report on hearings cases, but the bigger issue is probably time constraints. We were anxious to give the decision to the Derrytresk people as quickly as possible and they were with us until 3.30." The hearings had begun at 7.0 the previous evening.
Derrytresk will appeal the decision to preclude them from representing Tyrone in any competition outside their own county for the next five years. However, they have decided not to appeal any of the other seven susp- ensions handed down by the CHC.

The Cromwell Las Vegas is among the two "newest" casino-hotels in the Caesars Las Vegas portfolio. You may have known it previously as Bill's Gamblin' Hall & Saloon or, before that, the Barbary Coast Hotel and Casino.
Originally the completely renovated hotel and casino was supposed to be known as The Gansevoort Las Vegas.
[The other "new" hotel is the renovated Imperial Palace, now known as The LINQ Hotel & Casino, but it debuted as The Quad.]
Finding the entrance for parking – both valet and self – can be a bit challenging. If you're heading up Flamingo Road from Las Vegas Boulevard ("The Strip"), turn left just before the first traffic light. (If you get to LINQ Lane, you've gone too far.) From the other direction, turn right, immediately after LINQ Lane.
Hotel Overview
According to the hotel's Web site, "a bold, sophisticated experience awaits at the Strip's first boutique hotel. Each of the 188 rooms is Parisian-inspired, with hardwood floors, glamorous décor and a design that mixes modern and vintage. Subtle, decadent nuances make all the difference at this luxurious property. Custom concierge-style service highlights amenities such as custom-stocked minibars and coffee and tea service available."
- the rooms are small, dark and with no place to work or relax.
- rooms have showers, but no tubs.
- if you're a light sleeper, you may want to consider another property. Between the noise from Flamingo Road and Drai's Beach Club/Nightclub on the roof, it's tough to find a quiet room -- despite being told there are "quiet floors."
Casino Overview
There is a large bar, Interlude, which has electronic table games on the casino side and a quiet lounge on the other. The casino's other bar, Bound, is located between hotel check-in and Curios gift shop. It could end at any time, but for now, between 4 and 7 p.m. daily, show your Seven Stars card for a complimentary cocktail.
DiningGiada on the second floor. Giada De Laurentiis is the first female celebrity chef to open a restaurant on The Strip, and the restaurant lives up to all the hype.
Giada also provides "in-room dining" (room service) 24 hours a day, though selections are limited during certain hours. Consult the menu in your room or check the Cromwell website.
The Cromwell's second most famous "attraction" is Drai's Beach Club/Nightclub, open Thursday through Sunday from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. The 65,000 square-foot space offers both an indoor and outdoor rooftop experience. Drai's After Hours in the basement at The Cromwell opens at 1 a.m. Thursday through Sunday, and remains open until 10.
Special Seven Stars Benefits
There are no property-specific benefits, but click here for a list of benefits which are available at all Las Vegas Total Rewards casinos.
Seven Stars Lounge
There is neither a Seven Stars nor a Diamond Lounge; the nearest Diamond Lounge is at Flamingo.
Should You Choose This For Your Annual Retreat?
When you check-in, be sure to verify that your $500 comp account has been set-up. Alcohol charged to the room counts toward your $500 in expenses, but not gratuities for meals and spa treatments. Best advice is to keep all your receipts until you settle your final bill.

Sergeant Danny Nightingale's application to appeal was turned down by three judges at the Court Martial Appeal Court in London.
The 39-year-old was sentenced last July to two years' military detention, suspended for 12 months, by a military court in Bulford, Wiltshire, after being convicted for the second time.
The special forces soldier was found guilty of having a 9mm Glock pistol and more than 300 rounds of ammunition in the bedroom of his shared Army house.
Lord Chief Justice Lord Thomas dismissed his application for permission to appeal, ruling that there was nothing in the grounds he wished to argue which affected the safety of his conviction.
Sitting with Mr Justice Hickinbottom and Mr Justice Jeremy Baker, Lord Thomas said there was a "considerable amount" of evidence before the court martial which "supported" the conviction.
He said the appeal court could not see "in any way" how his proposed grounds of appeal - the main one relating to expert evidence - would "affect the conviction".
The pistol was found in Nightingale's wardrobe and ammunition was under his bed in a plastic box. He claimed he had no knowledge of them being in his bedroom.
Nightingale, from Crewe, had pleaded not guilty to possession of a prohibited firearm and also denied possession of the ammunition.
He was originally jailed for 18 months in November 2012 for the offences, but had his sentence cut after appeal judges concluded it was too harsh.
It was reduced to 12 months suspended, resulting in his release. His conviction was then quashed in March 2013 by appeal judges and a fresh trial was ordered.
During a military career starting in 1995 he served in the former Yugoslavia, Northern Ireland, Iraq and Afghanistan. He received a medical discharge, remaining in the Army until it commenced in February.

Are e-books a waste of money? The surprising winner when it comes to reading
In a win for old-fashioned paper books, new research has found children with access to a range of e-reading devices are less likely to read.Continue Reading http://www.canberratimes.com.au

That's a sensationalist headline there... there is no way in hell they are a waste of money, for a small amount of money the hardcover gets digitalized, goes on the Amazon/Kobo shelf and guess what, Amazon/Kobo can't decrease the price like the guys over at Barnes & Noble. Are ebooks not sold as much, absolutely, but most figured as much all along, not that long ago we had all those sensational headlines about "ebooks outpace hardcovers" and such, truth was at the time all marketing for the ebooks was being put into the pricing of the marketing for the hardcover, meaning the ebook had an unfair price advantage.
As to the headline itself, it's like me going "Are Organics a waste of money? The surprising winner when it comes to eating" because non-organics are cheaper and bought more.
Personal preference I've got too much money in my Kindle to give up on them now, I hate I don't own them but I like being able to blow the font up and read at a decent font size, I like carrying 500 books at once in case I don't like the one I was reading, it's just a preference of convenience, I too like a paper book, hate a hard cover.8 months agoReplyLink Save

This Week's Anime: Re:Zero-Starting Life In Another World
This week's anime is going to be a weekly post that I will start covering what anime I watched that week. For the most part it will be one anime series a week unless I feel the need to post more than one. Seeing as I watch anime everyday I thought it would be a good idea to share what I watched that week and give brief thoughts on it. This week's anime is Re:Zero-Starting Life In Another World.
Re:Zero-Starting Life In Another World follows Natsuki Subaru who is a regular high school student who after getting a snack from a gas station blacks out and wakes up in another world. Being a video game player he thinks he is playing out one of his hero fantasies and tries to embark on a heroic quest.. He is soon cornered in an ally by three thugs and he quickly realizes that he bit off more than he could chew. He winds up being saved by this silvered haired girl who he decides he is going to repay by any means necessary. This will eventually get him and the girl killed and he finds he wakes up in the same place he woke up when he first came to this world. With his memory intact he decides to do things a little differently but ends up getting killed again only to wake up in the same place. Each time he gets killed everything resets but his memory of what happened each time before he died. Why was he brought to this world, who brought him to this world, how does he keep reviving and why is he compelled to help this strange girl? These are the questions you will ask and try to figure out as you watch this anime.
At first I thought this anime was kind of silly and thought it would be boring but I stuck to my rule of letting things flesh out before deciding if i would call it quits on it. I am pleased that I gave it a shot as it has become one of my new favorite anime. Re: Zero gets deep as time goes on and it will have you pulling on emotional strings. You get attached to these characters as you learn more about them. You feel for Natsuki as you start to see how things are affecting him. It also brings to question what would you do if you were in his shoes? How would you take repeatedly dieing and remembering each death? You also have to pay close attention as you watch because each character plays an integral part in figuring out the mystery of what is going on. Each time he dies and comes back there is a clue in either something someone said or did that will play a part in a bigger scene. While I think I have the pieces to the puzzle mapped out I have a feeling I am about to be set up for a mind blow. That's what makes this anime so good is the trying to figure it out part while getting attached to the characters. I recommend you give this anime a try.
Re:Zero-Starting Life In Another World is a ongoing series and as of this writing there are 21 episodes. Check it out where you watch your anime and be sure to check the trailer below.

Usually we think of viral as something bad, but if its something like money that is spreading then viral marketing is good. With clickbank the digital product I use to make money is ebooks. I happen to have knowledge in a couple areas that people would like to know more about, so I sell it. The opportunity that clickbank offers however is a massive number of affiliates that are willing to work to promote you if you pay them well.

I worked for 10 years in the film and television business as a development executive. I've spent the last two and a half years as co-founder of Stroome, an online video editing and publishing platform and 2010 Knight News Challenge winner. You might think that these two things wouldn't be related. Actually, they're more closely connected than you'd suspect.
Recently, I was asked by Jason Nazar, founder of Docstoc and a big supporter of the L.A. entrepreneurial community, what lessons from my entertainment background have been helpful as I've transitioned into the digital space. A link to that video can be found at the bottom of this post, but I thought I'd share the three key takeaways with you here:
As you hatch your idea and begin growing it into an actual business, a lot of people will want to hear your story. And when they ask, you're going to want to tell it quickly and succinctly. And here's the kicker: It's best if it's communicated in a sentence. Yes, that's right -- a single sentence.
In the entertainment business, it's called a "logline," and it's composed of three parts: a beginning, a middle, and an end. Think of it as Act I, Act II, and Act III.
In the first part of your logline, you need to state the problem. What is it that people need? Not that they want -- what is it that they need? There's a difference, and you should always be addressing a need, not a want.
In the second part of your logline, identify the obstacles that need to be overcome. Preferably those obstacles will be solved by the service you are offering or the product you are building. After all, that's why you threw caution to the wind and got into this racket, isn't it? Because you have the answer to the problem that needs to be solved?
By the time you've reached the end of your logline, you need to articulate how you plan to overcome those obstacles and ultimately solve that problem.
Beginning, middle, end. Quick, succinct, and to the point.
So the next time someone asks why you are so feverishly committed to doing what it is you're doing, don't fall into the trap of responding with an elaborate description of your business. Tell them a story. Because at the end of the day, you're mapping out a journey, and you want whomever will listen to take that journey with you -- or at least you want them to understand why you have just boarded the occupational equivalent of "Mr. Toad's Wild Ride."
There's an old adage in Hollywood that "ideas are a dime a dozen." To a large extent, I think that applies to entrepreneurship as well.
People invest in people. Whether you're talking to venture capitalists you want to invest in your company; trying to bring on a critical team member you want to help you realize your vision; or recruiting new customers to buy your service or product, people are buying you first and your idea second.
I think that's why so many actors tend to work with the same directors again and again. There's a comfort level there. They don't just think the other person can pull it off; they know they can. And it's probably why a serial entrepreneur who's had past success but who may have stumbled on his most recent endeavor will almost always get funded before an unproven entrepreneur with a "great" idea.
Simply put, ideas are only as good as the people behind them. So sell yourself first and foremost. And make sure when you're doing that, you sell them on the fact that you are are the only person who can pull it off. Execution is everything.
While it can be wildly rewarding, make no mistake -- heading out on your own is tough. A large percentage of the "no's" you're going to get as an entrepreneur likely will come from the people you're trying to get to fund your business. And in my experience, VCs and studio execs are cut from the same cloth. Both are in the business to say, "no."
When I was reading scripts at DreamWorks, HBO and VH1, I had to pour through 100 before I found one that I would even consider taking to my boss. Similarly, most VCs look at 100 deals a week before they find one they take up with their colleagues. With that kind of volume, you can understand why saying 'no' is the answer you're most likely going to get when approaching a VC or angel investor.
My advice? Don't take "no" personally. In fact, think of it as one step closer to "yes," because now you know the numbers. So go out there and get in front of as many people as fast as possible. The faster you rack up the "no's," the faster you'll get to "yes."
All entrepreneurs bring an array of diverse experiences to their current endeavor. And if there's a key takeaway here, it's this: Those experiences -- as disparate as they may seem -- are actually some of your best assets.
So don't discount your past experiences. Instead, you should embrace them. Because at the end of the day, it's those unique experiences that are going to be the biggest contributor to your future success.
This article is the first of 10 video segments in which digital entrepreneur, Tom Grasty, talks about his experience building an internet startup, and is part of a larger initiative sponsored by docstoc.videos, which features advice from small business owners who offer their views on how to launch a new business or grow your existing one.

Wealthy families seem to attract scandals, and the Bassetts are no different. They bury theirs with the utmost discretion, but when one of their own is murdered, secrets are unearthed. Canaan Valley Sheriff Ward Sterling enlists the help of sisters Andrea Flynn and Kathleen Williamson to navigate the family's complex inner workings, because they're friends with Hadley, one of the Bassett siblings. They're glad to oblige, as the prime suspect is their friend, Deputy Willard Hill.
Several people stand to profit from the untimely death, and a few more had reasons to dislike the deceased. In spite of a serious threat from the murderer, Andrea and Kathleen persist in their quest to exonerate Willard. If they don't act fast, they'll be the killer's next victims.

Fifth Consecutive Year of Economic Growth Forecast
Last year was one of the best in history for the economy, and by all indications, 2008 figures to be an outstanding economic year for Israel as well.
Last year was one of the best in history for the economy, and by all indications, 2008 figures to be an outstanding economic year for Israel as well.
The Central Bureau of Statistics published data for the year yesterday based on the first 11 months, and nearly all of the figures point to a growing economy - at one of the highest rates in the Western world. And unlike 2000, the year of the bubble - and the only year with a much higher economic growth, 7.5% - 2007 follows on the heels of three good years for the economy.
The Achilles heel of 2007 was unemployment figures. Just 56.5% of Israeli citizens of working age are members of the work force. In the 30 most developed countries of the world - the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries - the average participation in the work force is 10% higher.
Although unemployment dropped by 8.4% in 2006 to 7.4% last year, it remains at substantial levels. By comparison, unemployment in OECD nations in 2007 averaged just 5.4 percent. Increased employment and reduced unemployment to OECD levels will thrust Israel into a leading position in the world in terms of domestic product, and solve a large part of our poverty problems.
Israel is starting 2008 on the right foot, and the momentum is forward. The principal risks are external, such as a worsening of the security situation or weakening Western economy. Israel has taken steps in recent years to improve its position among developing markets like India, China, Russia and South America, by reducing its dependence on the U.S. and Western Europe. Even the pessimists among treasury and central bank authorities are forecasting that the economy will enjoy a brisk 4.2 growth rate in 2008, less than 2007, but more than OECD countries. Of course, it is not outside the realm of possibilities that they will be proven wrong - and that economic growth will be even higher.

In previous blog posts, we have explained how the refrigeration process works to power the freezers and refrigerated trailers we provide our customers. Without the refrigeration cycle, the portable cold storage industry would not exist. The nature of cold storage for commercial purposes is such that refrigeration based on compressors and condensers is required to achieve desirable results. This is why evaporative cooling is not considered viable for portable cold storage on a commercial level.
Let us talk about evaporative cooling versus refrigeration in light of the current drive to come up with more environmentally friendly ways to achieve a sustainable, global cold chain. Evaporative cooling has come up as a possible solution for developing countries with limited electrical supply. It is a solution that can work on a small scale and for short-term needs, but no one has found a way to make it work for long-term, large-scale needs.
Mobile Cold Rooms For Hire (1.8 M)
Our 1.8m mobile cold room is ideal for the catering trades where extra cold storage is required, or as temporary cold storage during a refrigeration breakdown. It has an approximate internal cubic capacity of 5 cu metres.
Evaporative cooling is based on the principle that evaporating water naturally draws out heat. It is a time-tested principle that has been used for millennia as a means of cooling spaces. Indeed, in arid environments it is possible to provide space cooling entirely through the evaporative process. It works by forcing cool water air into a warmer space, thereby causing the water to absorb heat that is then released through evaporation.
Weaknesses of Evaporative Cooling
Two main weaknesses of evaporative cooling make it impracticable for large-scale commercial cold storage. The first is the challenge of high humidity. Evaporative cooling is currently used mainly in arid environments because dry air is required to achieve the best results. It does not work in humid air that prevents water from evaporating quickly.
The second weakness of evaporative cooling is that it does not work fast enough. This limits how cold a space can be kept over long periods. Simply put, you can use evaporative cooling to provide a comfortable ambient temperature in a California home, yet the same process would never work to power a refrigerated trailer or walk-in freezer. There is just not enough raw cooling power available.
Freezer Trailers For Hire (3 M)
The largest of our freezer trailers, the 3.0m is popular with caterers, hotels and restaurants. Especially useful where a freezer breakdown has occurred or where extra frozen food storage is required.
The refrigeration process works well for portable cold storage because it is not severely affected by humidity or external temperature. Through the compression and expansion of a refrigerant, the refrigeration cycle removes heat from interior spaces and transfers it to the exterior. Yes, it requires electricity or some other sort of fuel. However, it is a reliable system that has worked very well since its inception.
We expect to see the development of evaporative cooling systems provide short-term cold chain solutions in developing countries. Nevertheless, if the global cold chain is ever to become a reality, better refrigeration systems need to be developed along with evaporative cooling. There is no getting around the fact that the refrigeration cycle just works better.
If you would like to see the refrigeration cycle in action, consider Icecool Trailers next time you have need of portable cold storage. We hire out freezer and refrigerated trailers, as well as different sizes of walk-in cold rooms and freezers. All of our equipment is meticulously maintained by our in-house staff of skilled technicians. We offer service throughout England and southern Wales, including London proper and the Thames Valley.

Married, Intact Families Yield Higher Incomes
October 30, 2014
In a new report for the American Enterprise Institute, W. Bradford Wilcox and Robert I. Lerman look at the link between today's economy and family structure.
America's family structure -- and corresponding economic situation -- has changed since 1950. From 1950 to 1979, families saw an 80 percent increase in income and almost 90 percent of working-age men were employed. Since that time, things have changed, with family incomes stagnating and male employment falling. At the same time, the marriage rate has fallen.
Wilcox and Lerman describe the link between marriage and incomes:
- The drop in the marriage rate is having a significant impact on incomes. If the United States had a married parenthood rate at the same level that it had in 1980, the median income of families with children would increase by 44 percent.
- Since 1979, 37 percent of the decline in the male employment rate is due to the drop in the number of intact families.
- Children who grow up with both parents in the home tend to be higher educated and have higher incomes. Both men and women earn an income premium of $6,500 and $4,700, respectively, simply for growing up in an intact household.
- Married men have an income "marriage premium" of $15,900 annually, compared to their single counterparts, making family incomes higher.
- Married couples who themselves were raised by intact families have a family income premium of $42,000 compared to their unmarried counterparts raised in non-intact families.
The researchers hope that policymakers will recognize the vital role that family and marriage play in economic security. They encourage government policies that strengthen marriage, remove penalties on marriage and improve economic opportunities for families, including by expanding the earned income tax credit and expanding vocational programs that improve job prospects for young adults.

How the Amboy Dukes Bridged Psychedelia and Hard Rock on 'Journey to the Center of the Mind'
Subscribe to KOOL 101.7 on
In April 1968, the Amboy Dukes released of one of the era's most definitive singles, "Journey to the Center of the Mind," which perfectly captured that bridge between psychedelia and the emerging hard-rock sound.
Though primarily known as a footnote to the career of Ted Nugent, the Amboy Dukes were a classic example of teenage America embracing the British Invasion and trying to make their own statement. Inspired by the likes of the Animals and the Rolling Stones, the Amboy Dukes formed in 1964.
A self-titled debut arrived in late 1967 to little, if any, fanfare outside of their home base of Detroit. Despite a highly energized take on the blues classic "Baby, Please Don't Go," and a couple well placed covers of Cream and the Who, the LP fizzled out. With album No. 2, Journey to the Center of the Mind, the Amboy Dukes had an ace up their sleeves. Written by guitarists Ted Nugent and Steve Farmer, the title track was pure dynamite.
Though drug connotations are obvious, the notoriously anti-drug Nugent claimed to be unaware of such things. "I've been criticized so many times because, 'oh yeah, sure Ted, you didn't know that was about drugs,'" he said on VH1's Behind the Music. "I thought, 'good idea, journey to the center of your mind … good idea.' A person should always reflect." Whether Nugent believed it, it certainly fit the ongoing hallucinatory mood of the times.
That one track, however, is only part of the album's story. Journey to the Center of the Mind kicks off with a one-two punch of "Mississippi Murderer" and "Surrender to Your Kings" — both raw, blues soaked rockers, full of gritty desperation. Amboy Dukes singer Steve Farmer does his best down-and-out bluesman impression to good effect. We are also made well aware that Ted Nugent was a force to be reckoned with on guitar. His lead on "Flight of the Byrd" which is down and dirty, while his playing on "Scottish Tea" is highly melodic and inventive.
Despite the raunch of much of the material, there is also a more pop sensibility to Journey to the Center of the Mind that plays through nicely. When that approach works, such as on "Missionary Mary," it's truly clicks. The approach is more tentative on "Why Is a Carrot More Orange Than an Orange," which delves deeper into waters more familiar to the Strawberry Alarm Clock or even the Lemon Pipers. It's pseudo-intellectual gibberish lyrics and an almost bubblegum musical approach seem a step too far for the Amboy Dukes. The second half of side two plays out like a suite, with the songs – all written by Farmer – connecting to each other.
Yet, even in the album's more pop-oriented moments, Ted Nugent can be found trying to push things in a harder edged direction. While the single of "Journey to the Center of the Mind" charted in at No. 16, the LP only hit No. 74. Nugent wanted a full-on heavy band and, within a couple more years, he would be the sole original member left in the Amboy Dukes.

Demon Story Excerpt (Help Please)
Published by Kirvee in the blog Kirvee's blog. Views: 157
Because no one is responding to the thread it was merged to.
"Are you going to be ok?" Lorain asked from her position near the door to the small room.
"Yes, Lore," He responded, standing up from his sitting position on the small bed as if to prove his point. "It was just a fainting spell and I didn't fall on anything or hit my head. Besides, it didn't feel as powerful as the last ones, so maybe they're finally going away." He grinned at her as if showing he was the picture of good health.
Lorain looked skeptic for a moment but smiled nonetheless.
"Whatever you say, Sam. So," She uncrossed her arms and began to walk toward his standing figure. "Now that you're up, why don't we go get something to eat? You've been out for maybe an hour or so and we haven't eaten in a while."
As she finished making her suggestion she placed her hand on the boy's shoulder, intending to help lead him towards the Dining Hall. The moment she touched him Sam's eyes widened frightfully as the image of a blood-soaked corpse entered his mind and stayed there a few seconds, but the most frightening thing was that the corpse belonged to the girl in front of him.
Like a kicked puppy he yelped and shot back against the wall next to the bed, the loss of contact instantly making the gruesome image dispel leaving the girl he had known almost his whole life in his vision. He looked at her through scared emerald eyes as she blinked from his sudden action before giving him a quizzical look.
"Sam? What's wrong?"
The boy had never reacted towards her like that, not in all the years she knew him before and after his body changed. She noted how spooked he looked and it thoroughly worried her.
Sam was breathing a bit harshly, as if he had just run a marathon and his cat ears were pressed against his head, like a frightened animal.
"Sam?" She tried again. It always worried her when her friend was in pain.
"I-I'm ok." Came the meek response.
Lorain knew he was lying, there was no way he was "ok" after what he just did. For a moment she felt some indignation curl up her spine at the fact that she was being lied to by her best friend and was about to demand for the truth, but the feeling melted away when he looked back up at her with sad, fearful eyes.
At that moment, the thought entered her mind that maybe this was another side-effect to a half-demon's awakening. The thought that it might be depressed her a little. Even though she did the best she could, she could never understand what the boy was going through with all the adjustments his body had to make to accommodate the demon half. She offered her full support regardless, because she was his friend regardless of this world's twisted views and she was his only link to their world.
"Really, Lorain, I'm ok." Sam assured.
Lorain hadn't been aware that she had zoned out. She looked at him, smiling as if that was all the proof she needed. His ears weren't pressed against his head anymore, but they were still slightly lower than they normally rested. She shot him a skeptical look, arching her eyebrow.
Sam threw up his hands, "Really! I-I think I must still be going through some after effects of the previous fainting spell. I'm sure I'll be back to normal once I get some more rest." He insisted, smile growing a bit wider in an attempt to reassure her.
"Alright…" she sighed in defeat.
If he didn't want to talk about it then she wasn't going to force him, but the idea that he was adamantly refusing to tell her what was wrong made her all the more worried about him. As she was walking to exit the room she stopped momentarily in the door.
"Sam?" She asked without turning around.
His ears perked up before his eyes moved to look at her back. The earlier smile was no longer there.
"If there's anything you want or need to talk about, you can tell me. I'm here and I'll listen, no matter what it is. Just like always, ok?" She looked back then, a warm and friendly smile on her features that silently said she would always be there.
"I know," he smiled a bit too, "Thanks, Lorain."
Her smile widened as she nodded her head a little before leaving the room to get food.
When his hyper-sensitive hearing assured him that she was out of human earshot the smile instantly fell and was replaced by a worried, thin line. Weakly, Sam slid down the wall he had hit in his earlier shock and curled himself into as tight a ball as possible.
The image from earlier resurfaced in his mind, albeit more faded, and he shuddered at its sight. There was so much blood, and in the middle of the pool was his best friend, pale and torn apart by what looked to be claws.
He furiously shook his head, trying to make the image go away, but it seemed glued to his mind's eye. Defeated, he wrapped his arms around his legs and pressed his face into his knees in an attempt to make the ball tighter, his ears lowering to rest sideways on his head. As the image continued to haunt him he felt hot tears begin to fall from his hidden eyes. He pulled his legs closer to him as he sobbed, shivering from a combination of the image and his tears.
After crying for what seemed like a long time the image finally left of its own accord. Sniffling, he wiped the tears away with his arms and hands. The boy felt tired again so he weakly pulled himself up and collapsed back onto the bed, curling into a ball similar to the one he was in previously.
Sniffling, he closed his eyes to try and get a little more sleep before having to face everyone again after his fainting spell.
"What's wrong with me?" he thought to himself before drifting into a restless sleep.
The emotions I'm looking to convey are Sam's growing fear of being half-demon and his desire to not worry Lorain (especially with what happens in this scene) and Lorain's frustration at being basically useless and incapable of saying or doing anything to help her friend since she's only human and therefore can not fathom what he's going through. I'm also trying to show a bit how much she cares about Sam.
Any opinions/help?

Also check your Event Viewer>Adminstrative View to Google repeat errors for a solution.
Check msconfig>Startup list for freeloaders on your RAM/CPU which dont' really need to startup until you click them. I only allow AV and gadgets.
Do you have one of the paid bloatware AV's? If so, Revo it in advanced mode to get out all traces, then install MS Security Essentials or Avast for a no-impact yet effective solution which doesn't bog your system AT ALL.
Run state-of-the-art free CCleaner "Run Cleaner" and Registry tab, followed by Auslogics Disk and REgistry defraggers monthly to keep your HD perfectly clean and ordered.

(x+y)3= (x + y)(x + y)(x + y)
The square of a binomial is not a problem, just foil. The cube of a binomial is a little work. But any exponent higher than 3 is a problem. That would just be too much work to multiply 4 binomials.
(x+y)4= (x + y)(x + y)(x + y)(x + y) Too much work! Agreed?

Daily briefs of the top news stories impacting Christians around the world.
In today's edition:
- Half a Million People Call for Release of Pakistani Christian Asia Bibi
- N.Y. Senate Committee Passes Bill to Override Ban of Church Services in Schools
- 2012 to Be a 'Nightmare' for China's Underground Churches?
- Teacher Ordered to Remove Christian Banners Appeals to Supreme Court
Half a Million People Call for Release of Pakistani Christian Asia Bibi
More than 560,000 people around the world have signed a petition asking the Pakistani government to release Asia Bibi, a Christian wife and mother falsely accused of blasphemy against Mohammed and sentenced to death, ASSIST News Service reports. Bibi has appealed the conviction to the Lahore High Court, but remains in jail pending the outcome of her appeal. If the High Court upholds the guilty verdict and death sentence, the case could be appealed to Pakistan's Supreme Court. The online petition, at CallForMercy.com, was launched by The Voice of the Martyrs after 150,000 Pakistani Christians started a petition calling for justice for Bibi and better protection of religious minorities in Pakistan. VOM is delivering petition signatures to the Pakistani Embassy in D.C., and the goal is to collect one million signatures asking for Bibi's release.
N.Y. Senate Committee Passes Bill to Override Ban of Church Services in Schools
The New York State Senate Education Committee passed a bill Jan. 24 as the first step toward overriding a New York City policy banning churches from holding weekend worship services in rented public schools, WORLD News Service reports. The city's Department of Education gave churches eviction notices in December after the U.S. Supreme Court refused to rule on a 16-year-old viewpoint-discrimination case of a Bronx church that was kicked out of a public school. The city has given more than 60 churches serving primarily low-income neighborhoods until Feb. 12 to find new facilities. "I salute the [Education Committee] on taking bold and decisive action on this important issue," said New York City councilman Fernando Cabrera. If the bill does not pass, New York City would become the first major city in the U.S. to ban churches from meeting in public schools. Several peaceful demonstrations protesting the policy have taken place; Cabrera, who is also a pastor, was arrested along with others at one protest earlier this month.
2012 to Be a 'Nightmare' for China's Underground Churches?
2011 saw the greatest number of human-rights violations in China since the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, but some persecution watchdog groups say 2012 might be even worse, the Christian Post reports. "We do expect a much harsher year, even more so than 2011, although 2011 already marked the worst in terms of religious freedom, human rights and rule of law in two decades," said Bob Fu, founder of ChinaAid. According to experts, the government will probably not do anything too drastic or obvious; occasional house church raids and removal of leaders one by one seem to be the preferred techniques to avoid drawing too much attention, said Liang Jinglu, a human rights defender in China. One Communist leader reiterated recently that the government's stance "forbidding members from believing in religion has been consistent and has not changed an iota."
Teacher Ordered to Remove Christian Banners Appeals to Supreme Court
A San Diego-area high school math teacher ordered to take down classroom banners that referred to God has appealed his case to the U.S. Supreme Court, WORLD News Service reports. For 25 years, Bradley Johnson had banners hanging in his classroom with mottos such as "In God We Trust" and "God Bless America." School policy allowed teachers to display banners of personal belief, something other teachers also took advantage of by hanging up posters of the Dalai Lama, Malcolm X and Hindu sayings. However, in 2007, the school told Johnson his banners needed to be removed, while the other displays remained. A federal district court in 2008 upheld Johnson's First Amendment rights, but a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned the decision last year, then turned down a request for an en banc hearing by the full court. The Supreme Court is a last resort, said Richard Thompson of the Thomas More Law Center, which is representing Johnson's case. "This case is a prime example of how public schools across our nation are cleansing our classrooms of our Christian heritage," Thompson said.
