Sex offenders indicted
OXFORD COUNTY - Timothy H. Turner, a 45-year-old Norway man, has been charged with gross sexual assault on a 15-year-old girl who was a friend of his daughter.
According to Norway Police Detective Gary Hill, Turner went to Massachusetts to bring his teenage daughters to Maine for a visit. The daughters brought a friend. When the friend returned home, she told her mother that Turner had given her liquor and marijuana, before forcing her to have intercourse with him. Her mother informed the Massachusetts State Police
The victim, not being familiar with the Oxford Hills, had difficulty describing where the incident had taken place. However, the troopers connected with the Oxford Police Department, which investigated and then referred the troopers to their Norway counterparts.
By the time it was determined which Maine agency had jurisdiction, a Massachusetts court had issued an order of protection for the teenager, to prevent Turner from contacting her. Hill said that due to the court order being in place, Turner was not placed under arrest here in Maine at this time. He is scheduled to make an initial court appearance in Oxford County Superior Court in November.
The detective said Turner has a history of arrests for alcohol-related and/or violent offenses, but was not a registered sex offender. A class "A" felony can result in a 30-year prison term.
Also indicted by the Grand Jury after an investigation by Detective Hill, was Brian Larson, 34, of Norway, who is charged with violating the sex offender registration act for the second time. Hill explained that a first offense violation of the registration act is a misdemeanor, but a second offense is a felony.
Hill said he discovered that Larson was working in Mechanic Falls, but hadn't informed either the Norway or Mechanic Falls police of his employment. That oversight alone put him in trouble with the law, according to Hill. However, his employer had sent Larson to a job in Taunton, MA, where he should have registered, but didn't, leading Hill to ask the grand jury to indict the man.
If convicted, Larson could face up to five years in prison.

Maile Flanagan Movies and Career Information
May 19, 1965
Maile Flanagan (born May 19, 1965) is an American actress known for her role as the protagonist ninja Naruto Uzumaki in Naruto, Geri O'Flanagan in 3Way and Janet in Yes Man. Maile (pronounced My-lae) is her middle name, a Hawaiian word for the green laurel commonly used in leis. She was born in Honolulu, Hawaii. Her father worked for U.S. military intelligence as a spy for the military so when Flanagan was four-and-a-half, the family moved to Bangkok, Thailand and when she was ten they moved to Germany. While in Germany, Flanagan and family lived in Nuremberg, and Munich. She graduated from a Department of Defense (DOD) school Munich America High School (MAHS) in 1983. Upon arrival at Boston College (BC), Flanagan says "It took me three years to acclimate" because "I hadn't lived in the States since I was four and a half. I have used some of this in my characters—the wide-eyed wonder." While attending BC she was a member of the student comedy troupe My Mother's Fleabag with best friends Nancy Walls Carell, Andrea Beutner Hutchman, Wayne Wilderson and Tom McCarthy. Flanagan is openly gay and is married to her partner Lesa Hammett. After graduating from The Heights in 1987, and a

Saturday night—or to be more precise, Sunday at 2 a.m.—marks the end of daylight saving time. Per the "spring forward, fall back" saying, everyone should turn their clocks back an hour today.
The National Fire Protection Association and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission both recommend that people change the batteries in their smoke and carbon monoxide detectors on the same day they change their clocks for daylight saving time.
Homeowners should also recycle the batteries instead of throwing them in the trash, which is illegal in Redondo Beach. Batteries can be dropped off in the brown battery collection receptacles any of the following locations:
- Main Library, 303 N. Pacific Coast Hwy.
- City Clerk's Office, 415 Diamond St.
- Public Works Yard, 531 N. Gertruda Ave.
- Fire Station No. 1, 401 S. Broadway
- Fire Station No. 2, 2400 Grant Ave.
- Anderson Park Senior Center, 2229 Ernest Ave.
- Perry Park Senior Center, 2301 Grant Ave.
- Veteran's Park Senior Center, 309 Esplanade
- Alta Vista Park Community Center, 715 Julia St.
The California Energy Commission recommends that people also use the opportunity to change at least one incandescent light bulb to an energy-saving compact fluorescent bulb.
Daylight saving time begins at 2 a.m. on the second Sunday in March and lasts until the first Sunday in November, according to the California Energy Commission. Most of Arizona, Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands do not observe daylight saving time.
For years, authorities maintained that daylight saving time saved electricity; at one point during the energy crisis, California considered moving to an earlier daylight saving time or staying on daylight saving time year-round.
Nevertheless, more recent studies have concluded that the amount of energy saved is marginal, and one even concluded that daylight saving time increased residential electricity demand.

A favorite place where senior people meet.
Tucked away in the rugged terrain of Morgan County is West Virginia's most popular vacation spot, a favorite place for tourists of all ages.
Also known as Bath, Berkeley Springs is a historic spa and art-filled town, nestled in the Appalachian Mountains of West Virginia's eastern panhandle. The town is about a 90 minute drive from Washington DC, and roughly ten miles south of Pennsylvania. Berkeley Springs also contains America's smallest state park.
This pet friendly town has four full-service spas. Amenities include warm mineral springs, old-style architecture, many unique shops and world class dining in quaint outdoor cafes. One of the town's main tourist attractions is a hotel known as the Berkeley Castle (shown here).
Bath's mineral springs flow at a constant 74°F from the base of Warm Springs Ridge. Visitors fill their jugs at Lord Fairfax's public tap, and wade in the ancient stone pools.
Berkeley Springs is also famous for its many art galleries, as this little town of less than 700 people is home to dozens of professional artists.
Popular activities at Berkeley Springs include, golf, hiking, swimming, live music and theater. The town also hosts quite a few annual events such as the Berkeley Springs International Water Tasting toward the end of February, the Apple Butter Festival in early October and a mid-April food festival called Uniquely West Virginia.
Historically, the town was first noted as "Medicine Springs" in 1747, on a map drawn by Thomas Jefferson's father.
The springs and their rumored medicinal effects have attracted countless Native American and European visitors to the area for hundreds of years. George Washington, at age 16, made several trips there with his brother, who was ill and hoped the springs would cure him.
In 2006, Berkeley Springs was named a West Virginia Certified Historic Preservation Community.

Fortifying Homes
Tags: colorado, green inc., homes, nytimes, Obama, stimulus, weatherization, zeller
For all of the attention paid to our inefficient cities and the need for higher building standards, the elephant in the room is how to retrofit the housing stock that we already have. It's not a sexy task, but the truth is that building new domiciles for everyone, or even most people, is way out of the question.
When lobbying for the recently adopted American economic stimulus package, President Barack Obama hit the media circuit touting the stimulative effects of home-weatherization. Though hardly inspirational (John Stewart had a field-day with the mundane soundbites), Obama hit on an important need, especially in North American suburbs.
Tom Zeller, editor of the New York Times' Green Inc. blog, recently began a video series documenting the weatherization of his Colorado home. His project is likely to be replicated millions of times over … Continue Reading

Private property?
The PAC Won't Be Privately Owned but Partnership Has Potential, officials say
Stage Craft. Theater-goers enjoy a night out at the Performing Arts Center, which is exploring a publicprivate partnership. EMILY HALLER |
With the Tulsa Performing Arts Center hosting the productions of dozens of local groups and hundreds of out-of-towners, rumors of a potential privatization concerns many.
If the city were to hand over management to a company like SMG, which manages the BOK Center and Ford Center in Oklahoma City, the look and feel of the center could change, as well as the personnel. Even rental fees could be impacted, a big issue for limited budget of most local theater groups.
When confronted with the privatization rumors, PAC director John E. Scott was calm, but firm.
"It's important that this is conveyed clearly," he said, visibly irritated. "The word privatization is off the table, and that concept is off the table."
Scott said the mayor's office had recently communicated that sentiment after a meeting with the PAC Trust, an account corroborated by a study examined by UTW.
"This is the study that was just done, and it shows that while we do require a subsidiary, it is not suggested that we are privatized. What is suggested is a public-private partnership, and even that will likely not happen."
A private-public partnership would mean that the city would still own the PAC, but that a private company would also come on board to help with parts of the center's operations, like concessions or contracts. This is very different from total privatization, which would mean a complete shift from city control to a private company's.
The study only spoke to a private-public partnership, and also showed that the PAC is not even close to being one of the city's priorities this year. Scott said the privatization rumors have stressed everyone at the center.
"It makes our employees nervous, but we've been constantly communicating that privatization is just not happening at this point," he said. "This coming year will be status quo. We don't expect that there will be any changes whatsoever, except that hopefully the economy will improve and bring us better business."
A private-public partnership could be a good thing, Scott said.
"I don't have any qualms about that. I think it could be very beneficial. A private entity offers the potential for more dollars to spend on the arts," he said.
The rumors aren't true, Scott said, despite their acceptance and repetition by some.
"The truth is that we're doing very well," he said. "I've been the director here since 1989, and never has anybody from any administration put any pressure on us to do better, not even now."
To the contrary, 2010 was the best year for the PAC so far, in spite of it being the worst year for the city, Scott said. The much-acclaimed show Wicked, for example, brought in $3 million in ticket sales.
"Yes, we require a subsidiary," Scott reiterated. "But our bottom line doesn't tell the whole story."
The whole story, as Scott sees it, includes Wicked's success, which in addition to ticket sales helped boost downtown hotels, shops and restaurants.
"Blake Ewing, the owner of Joe Momma's and Max Retropub, said that Wicked brought in more business for him that any other downtown event ever did, which would include baseball, the BOK, any of that," he said.
In addition to the economic benefits provided by show-goers, Scott said that much of what the PAC pays to groups like the presenters of Wicked goes into local paychecks for people like stage hands and pit musicians.
"Most people don't realize that putting money into the arts is investing in the city. It also attracts businesses," said PAC marketing director Nancy C. Hermann, who said she recently took a call concerning a group of doctors contemplating moving their practice downtown. The doctors, Hermann said, asked about living in Tulsa and whether the city had a ballet, opera or symphony.
"These people want to know that we have theater and other arts here," she said. "It makes us very attractive."
But with so many good reasons to have a performing arts center, shouldn't it at least be able to support itself? What accounts for that $1.6 million?
Scott said it's all about the local performing groups.
"The for-profit groups pay much more than the local non-profit organizations, because we know that they can," he said. "The little non-profits simply can't afford to pay more, and we want them to always have a place here. That was the purpose of the PAC building originally: to provide a place for local organizations to perform in a credible space."
That's not to say that the PAC staff is shrugging their shoulders about the $1.6 million. In efforts to offset costs, the center has implemented multiple money-saving ideas, including the successful ticketing website, myticketoffice.com.
"Myticketoffice.com is a regional ticketing website that makes it easier for some people to get tickets, as well as providing a good bit of extra income for us," Scott said.
The PAC has offered the website to tons of other theaters and venues throughout the South and Midwest to help them sell tickets online. Those theaters pay the PAC to use the website, and also cough up service fees, which means that every e-ticket sold to any one of those venues funnels money to the PAC.
The Civic Center Music Hall in Oklahoma City, for example, uses the website and had successful runs of The Lion King and Wicked.
"For every ticket they sold online, we got paid," Scott said.
Hermann said the website was a proactive, moneymaking venture. "Nobody asked us to do that," she said. "We saw that it was an opportunity to offset costs, so we pursued it."
Scott said enterprising ideas have ensured that no city administration could pressure the PAC to do "better."
"Every time they do a close study on us, they see that we are actually an asset to the city, and that we work very hard to be more efficient with the funding we get," he said.
So for now, it seems as though the PAC has no immediate changes to fear.
"Tulsa is home to a large number of performing arts groups," he said. "And the quality of the groups is also impressive. Tulsa Symphony is on the major level. Tulsa Ballet is world-recognized, having traveled to New York City, Korea, and so on. Tulsa Opera belongs on that list as well."
The center's reputation means that the PAC does almost no recruiting -- almost none, in fact. "Actually, we have to schedule these things out five years in advance, to get everybody on the calendar that wants to be," Scott said.
"Tulsa has always prided itself on being an enlightened and culturally rich community. That lends itself to stage productions," he said. "Our calendar gets busier and busier all the time. It's the mindset of Tulsa people, as much as anything."
Tulsa's interest in the performing arts has historical precedent, Hermann said, noting that the Brady Theater has more seats than the PAC even though it was built in 1914.
"What were they thinking building a community theater with that kind of seating, especially back then?," she said. "Tulsa needed it. Tulsa has always loved its performers."

Broadstone gained one vote from the planning board's last weigh-in, ending a five-hour meeting in a 1-6 vote against the project. File photo
Littleton's 2014 budget provides funds to remodel city-council chambers, in part to elevate the floor of the "pit" in front of the dais. File photo
The Coucil will have the first reading without a public hearing on July 2nd. The 2nd reading with a public hearing has been moved to August 6th.
Instead of the constant complaints about the folks who fight openly for their beliefs perhaps ALL citizens should make an effort to speak at the hearing scheduled for July 2nd. If that is not possible you can write to City Council with your opinion. Make sure to use your real name and address otherwise your opinion will be discounted.
This is disappointing. I was really hoping that they would see the overwhelming positive about this development. We need more community investment and not less. I think this sets the precedence that littleton is still closed to business.
I hope patheticlittleton gets on again and posts those Michael Penny pictures! Up close and personal!
It sounds like the planning commission took a lot of time listening to both sides of this issue. They are appointed for their expertise. It will be interesting to see if the council disregards them again. It seems the Council routinely ignores their boards, commissions and citizens when its convenient. If council passes this, I think it is a vote of "no confidence" for their own commission. A lot of that going around the City.
his is all just a bunch of crap! You have three groups of people that showed up for this meeting.
#1 The rabble rousers. The usual group consisting of the Brzeczek, Norm Brown( I dont know if everybody has heard yet but Norm was on Planning commision), Marty Bolt & Frank Atwood, among others. All they can look forward to is some kind of controversy to keep them entertained. I honestly don't think they even care what the controversy is as long as they have something to whine about.
#2 The Blue hairs, AKA "GET OFF MY LAWN" group. These people are very concerned about what is happening in their neighborhood & apparently concerned with who is or isn't having sex or drinking alcohol in Littleton or Denver. The thing is, most of these people won't live long enough to see the project get its second coat of paint, which is a shame, since most are very worried about who will be doing the painting.
#3 The young'uns. This is the group that has just moved here (most likely from Highlands Ranch) that is very upset that they might lose Littleton's "small-town feel." I'm not sure what that really is these days, but Main Street hasn't had it since the early '80s when there was Centennial race track, greasy-spoon restaurants, pool halls, a drug store & actual clothing stores where the average person could afford to buy a wardrobe. I think they are confusing old buildings on Main Street with a small-town feel & need to realize downtown is a business now & it needs to have more density & to make money to succeed.
I can't even believe the arguments they came up with. Train derailments? Really? There are thousands of Littleton residents within a stone's throw of the tracks, What about them? Why does Norm hate those homeowners who live that close to the tracks, & why is he only worried about the "renters" at Broadstone?
Renters? I'm sure a few of the "Blue Hairs" may have actually paid off their homes already. But those other "homeowners" need to realize they are all just renting from the bank until it's paid off. They all made it sound as if people who rent are only worthy of living in leper colonies or Commerce City.
It's upsetting for me to see the future of Littleton being outlined by a bunch of petty, frivolous whiners.

Inquiring minds want to know. How do we come up with hundreds of millions for Al Queda sympathizer Syrian rebels and $1 billion for new missile defense on the West Coast for the imminent attack by North Korea if the Sequester is gutting our country? By the way, since the Boston Bombing Reality Show began, have you heard a peep about the imminent threat from North Korea? Do you realize you are being played by those in control? Everything spewed at you by politicians and the mainstream media is either a lie or a propaganda message designed to control your emotions, because they know 98% of Americans are incapable of thinking critically.
US prepares $130m military aid package for Syrian rebels
Secretary of state John Kerry expected to announce plans as opposition forces and international allies meet in Istanbul
The US readied a package Saturday of up to $130m in non-lethal military aid to Syrian opposition forces while European countries consider easing an arms embargo, moves that could further pressure the government of President Bashar al-Assad.
US secretary of state John Kerry was expected to announce the plans about the defensive military supplies at a meeting Saturday that was bringing together the Syrian opposition leadership and their main international allies.
The supplies possibly could include body armor, armored vehicles, night vision goggles and advanced communications equipment.
US officials said the details and costs were to be determined at the meeting. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss Kerry's announcement.
Kerry met with Syrian opposition leader Moaz al-Khatib before the conference began.
In the latest clashes, Syrian troops backed by pro-government gunmen battled rebels Saturday in a strategic area in Homs province near the Lebanese border, according to activists and state media in Damascus, the Syrian capital.
President Barack Obama has said he has no plans to send weapons or give lethal aid to the rebels, despite pressure from Congress and even some administration advisers.
Since February, the US has shipped food and medical supplies directly to the Free Syrian Army. The aid was expanded later to include defensive military equipment. So far, the US has provided an estimated $117m in non-lethal aid to the Syrian opposition, according to the White House.
Britain and France are leading a push to modify the European Union's arms embargo on Syria to permit weapons transfers to the rebels by the end of next month. The embargo is to expire at the end of May unless it is extended or revised.
Those in favor of the change say there have been no decisions on whether to actually supply the rebels with arms. They argue that allowing such transfers would increase the pressure on Assad. US officials say they support testing this strategy.
Germany and the Netherlands, however, are said to be reluctant to support the step because they fear it would lead to further bloodshed.
Kerry said before leaving Washington that the conference aim was to get the opposition and all prospective donors "on the same page" with how Syria would be governed if and when Assad left power or was toppled.
With Syria's civil war in its third year, the US and its European and Arab allies are struggling to find ways to stem the violence that, according to the United Nations, has killed more than 70,000 people. Despite international pressure, Assad has managed to retain power far longer than the Obama administration expected.
"We need to change President Assad's calculation, that is clear," Kerry told US senators Thursday. He said the Assad government's survival largely depends on the continued support it gets from Iran, its proxy Hezbollah, and Russia.
"That equation somehow has to change," Kerry said.
John McCain, one of the top Republicans on the Senate armed services committee, wants US military action, including airstrikes on government aircraft and weapons. But he does not want to send in American soldiers.
He said the steps he recommends would give moderate and secular opposition forces a better chance to succeed without having to depend on extremist groups that are supporting the rebels.
The US is not opposed to other countries arming the rebels, provided there are assurances the weapons do not get to extremist groups that have gained ground in the conflict.
Kerry said that Assad, his inner circle and supporters in Iran and Russia have yet to be persuaded to enter negotiations with the opposition and allow for a political transition.
He said he had not given up on persuading Moscow to reverse its support for Assad.
Kerry planned to meet Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov next week in Brussels on the sidelines of a Nato-Russia Council meeting.
"My hope is still that the Russians can be constructive," he said.

Watford boss Gianfranco Zola admits he did not see the Crystal Palace second half resurgence coming after the Eagles battled back from 2-0 down to earn a point.
One of the Hornets' numerous Udinese loanees, Almen Abdi, fired them ahead in the sixth minute with a well-placed finish from the edge of the area after a mistake by Jazz Richards. Teenager Nathaniel Chalobah doubled the lead when he headed in after Marco Cassetti's volley hit the turf and bounced up kindly for him at the far post.But Palace pulled one back in the 66th minute when Peter Ramage prodded home. And four minutes later Richards put a low, inviting ball on a plate for Kevin Phillips to tuck away as he has been doing for the past 20-odd years.Both sides could have gone second in the npower Championship with a win, but Zola had to settle for climbing up to third, level with Leicester, for a few hours at least."After the first half we were not expecting anything like that," he admitted."They played really well and caused us a lot of problems and we did not have the same freshness in our legs. And Phillips certainly made a difference."But there are 15 games to go and I don't want to be second now, I want to be second at the end of the season. It's going to be a race to the end."

from the Venice Biennale
June 5th, 2011
This post is made from the Venice Biennale, regarded by many observers as the world's most important art show. We are sitting not far from the Egypt pavilion, where AUCians have been much involved with this year's exhibit– a tribute to artist and musician Ahmed Bassiony, who was killed in Tahrir Square on Friday, January 28.
The director of the show is Shady El Noshokaty, Assistant Professor in the Department of Performing and Visual Arts (PVA). The curator is AUC alumna Aida Eltorie.
Also here were/are Aissa Deebi, Assistant Professor in the Department of Performing and Visual Arts (PVA); Bruce Ferguson, Dean of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences (HUSS); Graham Harman, Associate Provost for Research Administration.
The Egyptian pavilion offers a powerful mixture of footage from Bassiony's major performance piece of 2010 and additional footage from Tahrir Square taken by Bassiony himself from January 25-27, just days prior to his death. Everything is projected onto multiple side-by-side screens in a pitch-black room.
His February 2010 performance piece, "Running in Place for 30 Days," was intended as a metaphor for Egypt running in place for 30 years, though the political message of the title seems to have escaped the notice of the authorities.
The Egyptian pavilion has been receiving a great deal of media coverage, and we may post some of it here in the Bulletin once the dust has settled from the opening days of the Biennale.

Hamlin Heights Skatepark
Fun little park, good for a quiet session or to get a new trick on lock.
Head along the Princess Highway and take the Hamlin Heights exit onto Church Street. Follow Church Street and when it forks keep left and head straight. A few blocks up from the fork take a right onto Vines Road and the park is on your right.

Complaints for any JCI accredited organization can be sent by mail or e-mail. Please include the following:
Complaints that contain contact information will allow JCI to follow-up with the submitter about any actions taken or to request additional necessary information.
The name and contact information of the individual or individuals submitting the complaint will be kept confidentialand not disclosed to any other party without the express permission of the submitter, unless otherwise required by law. However, it may be necessary to share the complaint with the subject organization in the course of JCI's review.
JCI will review and evaluate all complaints, as appropriate, based on the information JCI receives. JCI requires that accredited organizations must ensure that no retaliatory actions will be taken against individuals who submit complaints to JCI.

Complaint information about JCI accredited organizations is used to strengthen the oversight activities of JCI and improve the quality of care and safety of patients in accredited facilities. JCI will address all complaints that relate to issues within the scope of the international standards to determine whether they raise any credible suggestion of failure to comply with standards. These include issues such as patient rights, care of patients, safety, infection control, medication use and security.
JCI will not address individual billing issues and payment disputes, as well as issues for which JCI has no jurisdiction such as labor relations, and the individual clinical management of a patient. JCI is not an appropriate forum for the resolution of concerns about the clinical management of an individual patient. JCI does not review complaints of any kind in unaccredited organizations.
JCI encourages individuals to first bring the complaint to the attention of the health care organization's leaders. If this does not lead to resolution, the complaint should be brought to JCI for review. JCI's response to a complaint begins with a review of past complaints about the organization, if any, and the organization's accreditation survey report. Depending on the nature of the complaint, JCI will take one or more of the following actions:
Upon request, JCI provides the number of complaints an organization has had that met the criteria for review. After JCI completes its review, the following information, as appropriate, will be provided to the complainant:
The JCI field will receive regular publication of the Quality and Safety Monitoring Process through the annual Executive Briefings conference and the quarterly newsletter, JCI Insight.
JCI will use established objective criteria to guide its disposition and analysis of complaints and other information received regarding JCI accredited health care organizations. The review criteria encompass initial screening criteria, and three levels of priorities. JCI staff assign initial priorities at the complaint triage stage. Prioritization may be revised after further analysis, receipt of additional information, and/or consultation with other staff. The complaint review process and assignment of priority evaluates the established policies and procedures of the organization, laws and regulations of the country to the extent JCI is aware of such laws, and potential cultural influences.

The atmosphere was good; small, warm and lively with customers. The service was good initiator but slow to follow up with drinks. Unfortunately, the food was lack luster.

Dina Lohan Shocking Photo Of Alleged Abuse
Now the Lohan matriarch has released shocking photographic proof to back up her claims. In two photographs, a much younger Dina is seen with a black eye, and in one photo she's holding a baby. Michael says it's all a big misunderstanding, "Dina hit me with an ice tray, and I turned around and swung…I didn't punch her. I didn't do anything deliberately to attack her. I swung out of reflex…she's twisting everything."

I've been really interested in the reactions to some online videos lately, most noteably the KONY2012 phenomenon.
What interests me is that this video has now been touted as the most viral video of all time; not a video of a cat being forced to play the piano, not a video of a celebrity flashing a boob at a live concert, but a 30 minute video showing one of the most dangerous war lords of our time, and asking you to help by creating awareness and fighting ignorance over this issue.
If you don't know what I'm on about (and have half an hour):
In the midst of all the controversy I'll put my cards on the table and say that I thought the effort came from a good space. I don't believe the makers of this video had anything but the best intentions at heart, but the moment this video went viral, out came the knives. The makers were criticized for their tactics, their ignorance, their suggested solutions, and their budget. Now I don't necsssarily agree with everything they say, but that doesn't matter really, I'm not appointing myself armchair referee over their attempt to make a difference. What encourages me is the effort, and the concern for people on the other side of world, and the fact that it seemed to capture the imaginations of the public. Surely that's a good thing?
But there seem to be a great many critics for this sort of thing out there.
I had an experience which higlighted this the other day reposting the following video to my Facebook feed:
One of the responses I got seemed far more concerned about the fact that the ladies were 'scantily clad'. He bemoaned the use of 'shock tactics' in the raising of awareness for human rights issues.
Another comment in the same thread suggested that this was just another example of 'slacktivism'. This is a term which was bandied around a lot shortly after the KONY2012 video experienced it's meteoric media rise. In this case I suppose it suggests that videos like this just encourage people to watch a video and pretend they care about the subject matter. It becomes trendy to get the KONY poster, or 'like' the video, but little else is accomplished.
Hang on a minute though; surely this is the fault of the end users of the videos: we fat schlubs who sit at our computer screens and retweet the video to our friends feeling like we've made a difference. We can't blame those who actually used blood, sweat and tears to make the video for our own inaction. Their hopes were to create some much needed awareness. Mission accomplished I would suggest, in spectacular fashion in fact.
The makers of these videos aren't the 'slacktivists', we are.
And it's not 'them' making the video that makes us 'slacktivists', but rather it's the video that simply highlights what we already are: people who usually don't care about anything outside our individual daily reality. Perhaps we are threatened because we know we should be doing more, so our defensive inclination is to point out the flaws of those who attempt to highlight injustice in our world so we can let ourselves off the hook and get back to the latest episode of 30 Rock.
It's incredibly cynical to criticise those who get off the couch just because we want an excuse not to.
Now I know that, because I don't shy away from criticism, I am often labelled a cynic, but I'm afraid on this one I am actually the optimist. I think this kind of effort on the behalf of the disenfranchised shows humanity is actually getting better. I really do. I think humans are being redeemed before our eyes.
Specifically: it hit me recently is that humanity is getting a global conscience for the first time in history. Now you are going to have to take a mental step back from the crime in your suburb, the corruption of your government, and the fact that the trains never run on time, to see the big picture with me for a moment.
Not long ago humanity was largely tribal. This meant that small groups looked out for their own interests, and were happy to pillage their neighbors to get more stuff for their group. When the Pentateuch speaks about 'an eye for an eye' it was actually a progressive law at the time because it 'limited' retaliation. Back then it wouldn't have been unusual for a tribe to go over and slaughter their neighbors for an imagined slight.
Then humanity began to organise into Kingdoms and Empires. Rulers were charged with taking care of vast tracks of land, and their subjects who dwelled there. Kingdoms formed alliances for the good of their subjects and people were able to live in a relatively more secure world. Rome, in particular, advertised the Pax Romana (Peace of Rome) as they embarked on their conquests. Of course we know that kingdoms work better for those at the top than those at the bottom. Kingdoms also spawn slavery and abject poverty, so whilst it claims to be an enlightened form of society, it has very obvious flaws.
Then we enter the era of Colonialism, or as it should probably be called, "The rape and pillage of the world by white people." Britain in particular ran all over the globe taking huge swaths of territory for themselves at sword point, or as Eddie Izzard puts it; "with the cunning use of flags". They sadly valued the strategic geography or the natural resources of a region far above it's local populace, and it was all justified with an alarmingly elitist worldview.
But as the world became more and more connected colonialism was brought into the cold light of day and shown for what it was. In the west we are beginning to see what we've done and many desire to make things right, though few yet know how.
Suddenly we are globalised and we give a damn about others who belong to a different tribe, or those who are poor and have nothing to offer us. The ethnocentricity of the kingdom era and the colonial era is slowly crumbling and we are really starting to see each other as the 'broad sea of humanity'. All are my brothers and sisters, not just those who look like me, or share my accent. "Who is my neighbor?" Well everyone.
I don't know if you heard but George Clooney was recently arrested in front of the Sudanese Embassy:
For these people:
I am very prone to cynicism when it comes to Americans protesting, and I know all the rhetoric regarding 'white guilt', and 'liberal grandstanding', but I really think these people give a damn; certainly more than those of us who throw stones at them from the side lines.
And I think this kind of concern for people halfway across the globe, who are nothing like us, is new.
No one expected the Assyrians to feel bad for their brutality during their conquests. We never heard of the Romans wanting to fight for the unjust treatment of other tribes unless it was in their interest. But now we have a situation where we care about 'others' in a way which is, historically speaking, unprecidented.
Is there a better sign that humanity is being redeemed?
But there is a branch of Christianity out there (a very vocal one) who genuinely believes that any kind of redemptive talk in the 'here and now', any call to actually make the world a better place, is a waste of breath.
A few weeks ago I was speaking on this blog about our responsibility to close the gap between the rich and the poor. I said I hoped for a future where there was less poverty and more equality. I had a good friend of mine quote me Ezekiel 13:10-16, in response. It says:
"'Because they lead my people astray, saying, "Peace," when there is no peace, and because, when a flimsy wall is built, they cover it with whitewash, therefore tell those who cover it with whitewash that it is going to fall. Rain will come in torrents, and I will send hailstones hurtling down, and violent winds will burst forth. When the wall collapses, will people not ask you, "Where is the whitewash you covered it with?
'Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: In my wrath I will unleash a violent wind, and in my anger hailstones and torrents of rain will fall with destructive fury. I will tear down the wall you have covered with whitewash and will level it to the ground so that its foundation will be laid bare. When it[a] falls, you will be destroyed in it; and you will know that I am the LORD. So I will pour out my wrath against the wall and against those who covered it with whitewash. I will say to you, "The wall is gone and so are those who whitewashed it, those prophets of Israel who prophesied to Jerusalem and saw visions of peace for her when there was no peace, declares the Sovereign LORD."
Now I'm used to being bullied with verses taken out of context, so I didn't take it too personally, but I think the accusation (and thinly veiled threat) is that by speaking about the sort of stuff I do in these posts, that I am just 'white washing' the 'fact' that humanity is rotten and we're all going to burn.
That's cynicism, and I'm sorry but I don't think the Bible supports you in your view. You may be able to wrestle the odd verse out of it's context to make it mean "we're all evil, and the best solution is to build churches and hide away in them", but the trjectory of scripture is definitely hopeful. Humanity is not going to the dogs, it's moving in a redemptive direction, and I believe we can see it happening.
Sure there are unjust wars and genocide, crimes, corruption and human rights abuses, but they have always been with us… what hasn't been present before is a collective conscience about them; a sense of global responsibility for those who are from a different tribe. Obviously this isn't yet an all pervasive view, but it's spreading. The bigots are slowly dying out with each generation, and a new love for all of humanity is on the rise.
We are beginning to understand racism and root it out.
We are beginning to make human rights a reality for all.
We are learning that religious tolerance is the only path to peace.
We are making inroads over gender inequality.
It now matters what the working conditions of the makers of your tshirt, or iphone are like… and that is a relatively new concern in global consciousness.
None of these things have been fixed yet, but at least we're talking about them globally for the first time. We're writing books, shooting photos, and producing videos which challenge our collective conscience.
Is there a better sign that we're growing up as a species, and hopefully growing towards what God always intended us to be?
There is much reason for hope.
Take it from a cynic.

Higurashi Daybreak joins Ad hoc Party for PSP; demo now available |
Listed in: News, Titles, Imports, Games Tags: Japan, PlayStation Network, SCEJ
SCEJ has announced that Higurashi Daybreak Portable on the PSP is now part of the official list of games supporting the Ad hoc Party service. Looks like gamers in Japan finally have some added incentive in sitting through those load times.
It's not all that surprising, considering that the game is built on some 2-vs.-2 gameplay, much like the Gundam vs. [Blahblah] games. Much to say, Daybreak's got "Party" written all over it.
The PSP port of the PC game also has a demo already available on the PlayStation Network. The demo is around 80MB huge, and is currently only available in Japan.
The game was released just the other week in Japan (Nov 27 to be exact), and from the looks of it, this is going to be an import-only title for those in western shores. Tough luck.
Related articles:
- PSP Ad hoc Party expanded to over 30 games: GTA, LocoRoco, Tekken, Gundam, more

This story sucks? This story rocks! |
So it's just this and the games that were announced before? —
2008-12-08 09:33
Sounds to me like they'll eventually get all games or atleast most of them to be ad-hoc compatible. Here's hoping.

tutorial : using material from old watches
Language : | |

Content : | This article brings you inspiration on what great material you can find in old watches. First let me explain how you can get some old watches. There are many places you can get them, for example ebay by searching for "watch convolut", additional to that you can search on flea market or ask friends as i did while i was in school – i just asked everyone for old watches they have at home and if they want to give them to me for free, many did and so i was equipped. Just make sure they are old watches, not those new digital stuff. |

Mar 15, 2007
Andrew L. Satenberg, Partner, 310.312.4312Jay J. Wang, Associate, 650.812.1394
In a continuing attempt to clarify the unfair competition laws – namely, Business & Professions Code Section 17200, et seq. ("UCL"), and Labor Code Section 2698, et seq., the Private Attorney General Act ("PAGA") – the California Court of Appeal recently provided a small safe haven for employers from the class-action storm.
In Amalgamated, Local 1756 v. Superior Court, Case No. B191879 (February 28, 2007), the Second District Court of Appeal held that an individual's potential to sue in a representative capacity, as conferred under the UCL and PAGA, may not be assigned to a third party. Furthermore, the UCL, as amended by Proposition 64, requires that representative claims may be brought only if the injured claimant satisfies the procedural requirements applicable to class-action lawsuits.
In Amalgamated, two labor unions representing mechanics and transit operators, along with 17 current and former union members, filed a lawsuit against several transit company employers. The plaintiffs alleged that defendants failed to provide legally required meal and rest periods to their employees. The labor unions brought claims not only on behalf of those individuals who had assigned their rights to the unions, but in a representative capacity on behalf of those union members whom the defendants currently or previously employed. Upon submission of briefs by the parties, the trial court ruled the unions did not have standing to sue for violations of the UCL or to recover civil penalties under PAGA, prompting plaintiffs to file a petition for a writ of mandate.
Denying the petition for extraordinary relief, the appellate court concluded that while individuals could assign their rights to recover allegedly unpaid wages to the unions, they could not also assign their potential to sue in a representative capacity. The court held that an assignment purporting to transfer an individual's right to sue in a representative capacity did not involve a right to recover money or other personal property, nor did it transfer an injury in fact. The court reasoned that although the purported assignor is authorized to bring an action on behalf of others under the UCL or PAGA, it has no ownership interest in the causes of action owned by others and thus has no right to transfer those causes of action to a third party.
Finally, the Court confirmed that Proposition 64 requires plaintiffs in UCL actions to comply with class-action procedures.
In light of Amalgamated, employers may take some solace from the reduced likelihood of complete strangers bringing UCL or PAGA claims against them. Rather, representative claims will come from true representatives, whether they are former employees alleging wage-hour claims or customers claiming unfair business practices. This does not alter the potential claims an employer faces from the "known" plaintiff (e.g. former employees). Amalgamated does not restrict former employees from assuming the representative roles defined under the UCL and/or PAGA, but only these individuals' ability to transfer their standing to another. Thus employers should continue to ensure their personnel practices are updated and are not in violation of any law that could give rise to UCL or PAGA claims.

He has particular experience in the areas of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, COBRA, the National Labor Relations Act, the Fair Employment and Housing Act, State Worker's Compensation laws and the California Wage Orders.

What: Janeen Mason, author and illustrator of "Ocean Commotion: Life on the Reef"
When: 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. Thursday
Where: Vero Beach Book Center Children's Store, 2145 Indian River Blvd., Vero Beach
Admission: Free
Contact: (772) 569-6650
Online: www.verobeachbookcenter.com
When: 5 p.m. Nov. 19
Where: Elliott Museum, 825 N.E. Ocean Blvd., Stuart
Admission: Free
Contact: (772) 225-1961
Online: www.elliottmuseumfl.org
Janeen Mason's fascination with the ocean began when she went snorkeling with a friend in the Keys.
"It was like flying in an alien landscape," said the Stuart-based artist and author. "I was freaked out because I was sure I'd see a shark. Instead, I came eye-to-eye with a curious little fish. That's when my love affair with the water began. The wonder has never left me."
Mason has shared her love as author and illustrator of children's books. The latest, which she wrote and illustrated, is "Ocean Commotion: Life on the Reef." She'll speak about it and sign copies Thursday at the Vero Beach Book Center Children's Store, and Nov. 19 at the Elliott Museum in Stuart.
The brilliantly colored book tells the story of a brave hermit crab that crosses a reef on a search for a shell that fits. During her journey, she encounters such aquatic creatures as shrimp, sea urchins, starfish and jellyfish.
"I tried to make it lighthearted enough to entertain children, and sophisticated enough so that adults would not mind reading it to them," Mason said. "I've included an illustrated glossary of words in the story to reinforce learning."
An environmental advocate, she ends the book with a letter to readers noting the threats to coral reefs and urging them to act to save them.
"The books are like my pulpit, but the writing scares me. I do a lot of research, and read my stories to members of two children's writers groups for their reactions," Mason said. "The words have to come first. The artwork provides a home where the story lives. One should not overwhelm the other."
Her first book in the series, "Ocean Commotion: Sea Turtles," was the juvenile division winner of the 2007 United States Maritime Literature Award. The next, "Ocean Commotion: Caught in the Currents," is set for release in 2011. She has also illustrated five marine-themed children's books.

Liz Lemon, the character famously portrayed by Tina Fey on her hit sitcom 30 Rock will not become a mom on the show next season, despite the fact that Fey is with child in real life (pregnancy's are hidden all the time on TV).
According to an NBC insider, the show has already wrapped for next season, which means as Fey gets bigger, camera's won't be rolling. Also, the show is not expected to be postponed for shooting what is said to be the last season in 2012.
This will be the second child for Fey who had daughter Alice 5 years ago.
Now we just have to wonder what surprises will be in store for us as the show wraps up it's NBC run.

This is another favorite from my collection of cake stands; only this one is from the post-depression era. The pattern is known as 'Lace Dew Drop' and made by Phoenix Glass Company in 1937 from molds acquired from Co-Operative Flint Glass who made the EAPG pattern in crystal in 1902 and first called it 'Lacy Dewdrop'. This pattern was also later made by Kemple Glass, but Phoenix Glass was the only one to produce the milk glass w/Cobalt.

These notes are intended to assist the climber who has already gained some knowledge of rock climbing and is fully aware of its risks but still wishes to progress further up the grades, and indeed the mountains. They are brief and not designed to be comprehensive in any way. Ultimately climbing is a dangerous sport and claims many casualties each year. One of the guiding principals of British climbing and mountaineering is that it is the individual climber is responsible for his or her own safety. If you cannot accept this then this site and probably climbing in general is unlikely to suit you. May we refer you to this very interesting site instead!
This section should be read in conjunction with the page on Basic Climbing.
Virtually every climber reckons their rack is the best! And so it is - for them at least. So these notes are very personal and are only intended to give an idea of a suitable rack for leading long pitches at the upper end of your grade ability. It goes without saying that not everything would be carried on every route - there is little point in carrying all this lot on a 15m pitch.
An Advanced Rack for High Mountain Areas:
Professional Mountain Guide Colin Wornham starting the crux pitch of Goodbye to All That (E1, 4c,5b,5a,5b) Pillar Rock, during the second ascent. Note the extensive selection of gear needed to protect a long high mountain route of this sort. Also that he is climbing on double 'half' ropes.
Photo: Jeff Appleyard on the final pitch of Dream of White Horses (HVS, 4c), Gorgath, North Wales, a good place for lots of gear and extending your runners properly!

I love the way shadows dance across a landscape on a cloudy day, the way light gently illuminates a scene at that special moment, and have a passion to capture our beautiful natural environment, wildlife, and people through my lens.
I'm a Northern California based photographer who specializes in landscape and nature photography. I travel over the pacific northwest to capture our area, it's abundant wildlife, diverse natural environment, beautiful landscapes, life, and people. I believe photography inspires people to see the beauty in our world we would otherwise not take the time to see.
If by viewing these images, I have done no more than open your eyes to the immense beauty of our world, inspired you to get out and experience and enjoy the diversity of our natural environment, or to witness the wildlife that surrounds us, then I have completely done my work.
If your interested in purchasing, please feel free to contact me by phone or email.
Also, if you enjoy my work please stop by often and share my page with your family and friends, as I am always adding new images.
