5/14/2008: Commissioner Leo on "Human Rights in Vietnam" before the Congressional Human Rights Caucus |
Congresswomen Lofgren and Sanchez, members of the Congressional Vietnam Caucus, thank for convening this hearing. This is a timely event. Vietnam's Prime Minister is scheduled to visit the United States next month; the U.S.-Vietnam Human Rights Dialogue will be held in Hanoi at the end of this month.
In surveying human rights conditions in Vietnam, yesterday's Asian Wall Street Journal concluded that "despite the Vietnamese Communist Party's desire to hold onto power, the regime is susceptible to international pressure." We think this is an accurate statement.
A delegation from the Commission on International Religious Freedom spent two weeks traveling in Vietnam during October 2007. We met government officials, religious leaders, civil society representatives, and several "prisoners of concern" including Buddhist monk Thich Quang Do, Catholic priest Phan Van Loi, Nguyen Van Dai and Li Thi Cong Nhan.
We heard, from many of those we met during our trip, that improvements for religious communities were directly related to U.S. diplomatic engagement and designation of Vietnam as a Country of Particular Concern under the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998.
The original CPC designation created incentives and a diplomatic framework that led to tangible progress in some areas. The Vietnamese government recognized that religious freedom protections were a clear priority of bilateral relations, on par with economic and security concerns.
The Commission continues to find that lifting Vietnam's CPC designation in 2006 was premature, removing an effective diplomatic tool. The absence of that tool was all the more evident when Vietnam launched a crackdown on human rights, democracy, free speech, labor, and religious freedom advocates shortly after the State Department made the decision to lift the CPC designation.
In fact, since Vietnam joined the World Trade Organization in January 2007, positive religious freedom trends have not kept pace with other elements of the U.S.-Vietnamese relationship, and there has been a marked deterioration of human rights conditions overall in Vietnam.
It is the Commission's conclusion that religious freedom conditions in Vietnam remain problematic: improvements for some religious communities do not extend fully to others; progress in one province is not realized in another; national laws are not fully implemented at the local and provincial levels and are sometimes being used to restrict rather than protect religious freedom; and there continue to be far too many abuses and restrictions affecting Vietnam's diverse religious communities, including the imprisonment and detention of individuals for reasons related to their religious activity or religious freedom advocacy.
This is not to say that religious freedom conditions have not improved after Vietnam was first designated as a CPC in 2004. They have. Closed churches were re-opened, new laws were issued banning forced renunciations of faith, and the zone of permissible religious activity expanded, particularly in urban areas.
However, notable progress occurred alongside persistent abuses, discrimination, and restrictions.
Independent religious activity is illegal. Those who seek to practice outside government-approved religious organizations-such as the United Buddhist Church of Vietnam, the Hoa Hao, Cao Dai, and some Protestants-face face harassment, property confiscation, and detention.
Growing religious practice among ethnic minority Buddhists and Protestants is often viewed as a security threat, requiring officials, in the words of a recently issued government training manual, "to manage, control and resolutely overcome" religious growth among ethnic minorities.
There also continue to be credible reports of forced renunciations of faith, despite bans on such activity, including the beating death of an ethnic minority Protestant one year ago.
We continue to be reminded that religious freedom abuses and restrictions are not simply a concern of the past. Since the Commission issued its Annual Report just two weeks ago, which contained a substantial section on Vietnam, we have continued to receive reports of serious abuses. These include:
In view of the ongoing and serious problems faced by many of Vietnam's religious communities, the uneven pace of reforms meant to improve the situation, the continued detention of religious prisoners of concern, and what can only be seen as a deteriorating human rights situation overall, the Commission again recommends that Vietnam be re-designated as a "Country of Particular Concern" or CPC under the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998.
Unfortunately, the State Department stated last week that Vietnam would not be re-designated as a CPC. One of the main reasons cited for this decision was the release, in the words of a State Department spokesman, of "all individuals the United States had identified as prisoners of concern for reasons connected to their faith."
The Commission is convinced, however, that there are scores of religious prisoners of concern, who have been detained and imprisoned, in part, for their attempts to exercise their religious freedom or to advocate on behalf of it. They include Nguyen Van Dai and Fr. Nguyen Van Ly and individuals from the Hoa Hao, Cao Dai, Khmer, and UBCV Buddhists.
In addition, there are hundreds of Montagnard Protestants, who were imprisoned after 2001 and 2004 demonstrations for land rights and religious freedom. Their continued imprisonment remains an unresolved religious freedom problem.
These religious prisoners of concern should be included in any discussion of whether Vietnam is, to use the language of the International Religious Freedom Act, a "severe violator of religious freedom."
The U.S.-Vietnamese relationship continues to grow-but it is too soon to determine whether the Vietnamese government is fully committed to protecting religious freedom instead of maintaining control of the country's diverse religious communities.
As I mentioned earlier, the Commission's Vietnam report is lengthy and detailed and is available on the Commission's Web site. The report also includes many recommendations. In my remaining time here, I would like to quickly highlight recommendations the Commission has made to the U.S. Congress:

Category: Main > Networking & Communication > ERALink32 > 4.2.3
ERALink32 4.2.3 - This is the latest version that does not require Microsoft .NET framework.
What works All functions. See Instructions below.1. Install Wine.2. Run winecfg in a terminal to setup the .wine directory.3. Download and Install ies4linux using the default settings. This will install to the .ies4linux folder.4. Open your home folder and press Ctrl-H to show hidden files.5. Open the .ies4linux folder and inside you will see an ie6 folder.6. Open the ie6 folder, highlight and copy the following files:system.reguser.reguserdef.reg.firstrun7. Now go back to your home folder and open up the .wine folder. Paste the above copied files in and let them overwrite any existing files.8. Go back to the .ies4linux/ie6 folder and open up the drive_c folder. Select and copy the 2 folders.9. Once again go back to your home folder and open the .wine folder. You will see a drive_c folder, open it and paste in the 2 folders letting them overwrite.You now have ie6 installed in wine. Inside the drive_c folder is your virtual drive for wine. Inside the Program Files folder is an Internet Explorer folder with the IEXPLORE.exe, you will need to make a shortcut to it. Since IE is now installed in wine, you can remove the .ies4linux folder if you want.10. Install ERALink32 with usual command: wine ERALink32.exe11. Change font to Andale Mono or other preference.12. License will update automatically since IE is now installed.
What does not Text display is still a very minor problem. Displaying reports onscreen results in font being reset to IBSFont at small size and Report Download still uses same tiny IBSFont to select and define columns.
What was not tested Need to work with ibsfont.fon files to make additional font sizes available to make application platinum.
Additional Comments
Still need to install IEs4Linux to correct license problem. Use above instructions to make it all work.
After installing ERAlink32 you can change the font by following these steps.
Click 'Setup' from the toolbar then 'Character'
Here you can choose a new Font and Size to overcome the tiny font that is default.Checking off 'Draw Graphics' helps ensure that your outlines are filled in for a more familiar environment.I am currently using 'Bitstream Vera Sans Mono' and differing sizes depending on my monitor.
After you click ok make sure you click 'File' then 'Save' so it will remember your changes.
I recommend not upgrading to 0.9.53 since it creates some graphical errors in the title bars. Stick with 0.9.52 for now. I will report on 0.9.54 when it is released.

Yesterday I was an iPad workshop and got to talking with a 4th grade teacher sitting next to me (Don't you love that about trainings and workshops? You never know you might meet!) As we chatted, somehow I ended up showing her the Christmas Unit that I used every year with my 4th graders. I told her I would email the unit to her…but then I realized that I have never shared it with my fellow Nerdy Teachers. So here you go, Borrow and Share!
Christmas Cranks Unit Plan
This link takes you to my unit plan page. It is designed for 4th grade Reading/Language Arts, but it could certainly be adapted for younger or older students. It also crosses curricular areas because we learn about Victorian England, write a summary and evaluate the movie version of A Christmas Carol.
Other Christmas Carol Links:
- Charles Dickens Animation
- Charles Dickens Resources
- Survive Streets of London Game
- Victorian Clothing Game
- Online Book Version (This is not the "easier" student version)
- Free Audio Version (Story Nory)
Santa Skeletons
As I collected resources for this unit I found this picture from my first year teaching (Check out those computers!). We were finishing up our Human Body unit in science and the skeletons made our classroom look like Halloween instead of Christmas…so we made Santa Skeletons! (Note: Look closely, do you see the Spiderman Skeleton?)
Christmas Book Box
Here is a bonus idea for you! Every fall I collected high interest books from Scholastic book orders, Half Price Books, and the Scholastic Warehouse sale and kept them tucked away. Then the week before Christmas break I wrapped a big paper box and put all the books I'd collected in it. I kept it out in my classroom and the kids would go crazy just waiting to see what was in the box! During our Christmas party the kids would get to open the box and explore the new books that were then placed in our classroom library! (So it was a Christmas gift for me too :) I did this every year and it was always a big hit. As I started having siblings of former students they would beg their siblings to tell them what was in the box, but it was kept a big secret…such a fun tradition!

Reviewing 10.1.5 (Nov 20, 2013)
I have been using K-Lite Codec Pack since Version 5 back in 2009, and I highly recommend it for anyone who works with different types of video files. Whether you are downloading different videos, or encoding your own videos, or you record your own using video cameras and/or phone cameras, the Codec Pack ensures you will have compatibility with virtually any video or audio content.
Version 10 has the added advantage of including both 32-bit and 64-bit codecs in a single installer, so it is no longer necessary to install the 32-bit and 64-bit versions separately.
Be sure to check their homepage regularly, as new updates for the Pack are posted whenever the various codecs are updated.
Reviewing 10.1.5 (Nov 16, 2013)
@shroom ... Nay wurriz Buddy.. lol .......... Someone musta listened tho.?
At least the installer now tells you which apps you need to
shutdown if you don't want to restart, so there's improvement :)
Nice to see we're back to 5* tho ... (~_^)
Reviewing 10.1.0 (Oct 30, 2013)
@BANDIT- : Sorry but in this day and age, nothing apart from OS core updates should ask you to restart your computer (even Linux manages to update some core files without making you restart).
Even Nvidia drivers don't ask you to restart your computer anymore.
So codecs ? No.
At least the installer now tells you which apps you need to shutdown if you don't want to restart, so there's improvement :)
Reviewing 10.0.5 (Sep 13, 2013)
To Dock this Well maintained & "Dogs Bollix" codec pack a Star because it forces a Re-Boot is a bit Harsh to say the least. A bit like Removing Anti Virus S/w or perhaps after Windows Updates, To NOT Re-Boot is ridiculous..!! Changes have been made to System files & Reg keys during Install/Uninstall, so a Re-Boot is necessary. Read this "about" feature & look at the 8th point down the list under (General strong points:).
A forced Re-Boot is there for the unknowledgable & should be applauded..!!
I've never reviewed K-Lite before, "Till Now" .. (The Best) 5*
i think it is amazing and must be checked
yes you can and actually need to instal both 32 and 64 bit packs to get 100% functional setup as some apps use 32bit version of codecs while others use 64bit....
All car purchases start with one decision: New or used? With automakers selling hundreds of new models, and more used cars than there are people to drive them, there are plenty of good vehicles out there ready for an owner and driver.
new cars
Where can I find a list of what's IN it?
Is there optional install for different codecs?
Can I install the 32-bit AND the 64-bit Packs? Should I?
In K-Lite Codec Pack 5.9.7 Mega a problem in SVCPACK installation faced

I'm new to this so sorry if I sound like a complete noob, but does this make m2ts files from an hd pvr work in Windows Movie Maker 2.6?
It's compatible with Windows 7, 32bit. Flawless!
You're joking, right ? Compatibility with Windows 7 ? It's barely even safe to call it a beta product and won't be available for years and you expect compatibility ? Yeah, right.
Compatibility with Windows 7 - 64 bit ?

Scott Walker Won't Face Charges In John Doe Probe
The John Doe probe into Scott Walker's time as Milwaukee County Executive is over, but the debate over how the investigation will affect Governor Walker's political future is still alive.
Shortly after the retired judge overseeing the John Doe probe announced today that the investigation is over — with no additional charges — state Democratic Party Chairman Mike Tate held a conference call with reporters. Tate noted that over the last three years, the investigation led to criminal convictions against six close associates of Governor Walker, and many more of the governor's colleagues were given legal immunity in return for their testimony. Tate says there is evidence that Walker knew about some of the questionable activity, and Tate wants the governor to release e-mails and other documents that may be connected to the case.
"I think it's important that we understand the full nature and behavior of what transpired here because this is something that has been such a prominent part of Scott Walker's time as governor — as well as the fact that numerous people have gone to jail over this."
But Milwaukee County prosecutors may not release more documents. Even if more material does come out, a former Democratic state lawmaker is not sure the governor will be harmed prior to the 2014 election. University of Milwaukee governmental affairs professor Mordecai Lee says Walker showed good political skills over the last 15 months and used private money to hire good criminal defense lawyers.
"So I suspect that when he runs for re-election next November, this will be really be old history — that he survived a difficult period with his boy scout image intact."
Lee says he expects the Democrats' campaign against Walker next year is more likely to focus on whether the governor has met his 2010 campaign promises for job growth in Wisconsin.

Trade In Your Challenges
Presented by NexFirm
When Chintan Panchal decided to leave a global BigLaw partnership to start his own firm, he could only hope that he would face the high-quality problem of firm building that many had cautioned him about. Focused on the uncertainty surrounding of a new firm launch, he decided to tackle staffing needs, IT challenges, and financial planning requirements after he had built up his legal practice.Panchal Associates LLP–a corporate/finance and outside general counsel boutique–was quickly off to a great start. Clients and matters were flying in the door, and Chintan soon had a team of lawyers and staff with a variety of operational needs. To continue building an excellent team and provide them with a competitive benefits package, to expand his physical presence to include a European practice and additional partners, and to scale his operations and IT capabilities to support this growing enterprise brought with it demands of time, money, and expertise. Chintan knew he needed help.
"With the assistance of NexFirm, we have upgraded the capabilities of our firm to meet, and in some cases exceed, the standards we were used to at our former BigLaw firms. Operationally, we can now attract and service clients we didn't have the bandwidth to support in the past, and continue to build our team with the best and brightest legal talent in the industry," said Chintan Panchal, adding "It has worked out quite well in our case; NexFirm is an essential partner for us."

SOUTH KINGSTOWN - If Jason Foreman went missing today, the search for the lost boy might have been different.
South Kingstown retired Captain H. Ronald Hawksley, a lead detective in the case that put Michael Woodmansee, who killed five year old Jason Foreman in 1975 behind bars said police have better resources now in searching for missing children and they would not have made the same mishaps.
ãWe got the missing person call. We met with Mrs. Foreman and it sounded like the boy had wandered off. He was five years old. Kids do that,ã Hawksley said. ãWe proceeded to check the area and backyards. We never found him.ã
Hawksley said police had considered that a cult had taken the young boy. Police even thought that Jason was kidnapped, killed and left in the woods somewhere. They never expected the fate of the Foreman boy to be so horribly gruesome. Hawksley said the case never closed and he continued to work on it, days, months and years after Jason disappeared on his motherãs 25th birthday after playing in the neighborhood with friends.
ãWe promised the parents weãd do everything we could. We followed every lead possible. We went up and down the East Coast. In the end, we thought weãd find him in the woods dead somewhere,ã Hawksley said.
In 1975, Michael Woodmansee kidnapped and killed Jason Foreman after he was walking home along Schaeffer Street after a day of play. The boy was missing for seven years, until 1982, when Woodmansee confessed to killing Foreman, after trying to strangle the local paper boy, Dale Sherman. In 1983, Woodmansee was convicted of second-degree murder and was sentenced to serve 40 years in prison. Yet, due to time-off earned through ãgood behaviorã Woodmansee could be released from jail this August, 12 years early. News of the child killerãs release sparked community outrage in South Kingstown and throughout Rhode Island.
When Jason Foreman went missing, hundreds of people throughout South Kingstown joined in on the search party, scouring the town woods, ponds and bogs. Police checked every young boy they saw, stopping parents at the supermarket. Police searched every home, except for one. The boyãs killerãs father was a police reservist. As police turned every house inside out looking for Jason, Woodmanseeãs father was told to search his own house on Schaeffer Street, where the boyãs shellacked bones remained in a metal cabinet in his sonãs bedroom.
ãIt happened because back then we had a lot of special policemen and we relied on them for side details. We had a small department,ã Hawksley said. ãWoodmanseeãs father did a good job too. I donãt think he had any knowledge of this. Seven years later when we went into his house, the father was in the living and he asked me, ãHawk, did my son really do that?ãã
When police entered Michael Woodmanseeãs bedroom, where they found Jasonãs skull on his bureau, shellacked bones in a metal cabinet and a small journal detailing how Woodmansee killed, cannibalized and sexually violated Jason, which the convicted killer claimed was fiction, Hawksley said it was a terrible scene.
ãThe cleanest place was the bones and there was the journal. It took me two days to read it. It told how to kill a child and get away with it,ã Hawksley said.
Thirty six years later today, Hawksley believes police would not make that mistake again and would certainly check every single house, no matter who owned it. Hawksley said today police would check every house and every person when searching for a missing child.
ãWe couldnãt have saved his life, but I wished we could have gone [to the Woodmansee house.] It would have made it a lot easier on the family,ã Hawksley said. ãIt was the biggest search we ever had here.
In 1975 when Jason Foreman went missing, Hawksley said having the AMBER Alert, in which an bulletin in the most serious child-abduction cases is issued, could have made a difference.
ãThe AMBER Alert would have done a lot of good. The situation [in 1975] people turned their head on. Every one thought it was runaways,ã Hawksley said. ãAMBER Alert is really necessary. Our kids are the most valuable things we have.ã
AMBER Alert program is a voluntary partnership between law-enforcement agencies and broadcasters, in which an urgent bulletin is issued for missing children. The goal of an AMBER Alert is to instantly galvanize the entire community to assist in the search for and the safe recovery of the child.
Rhode Island first set up its AMBER Alert system in April 2003. The program started nationally in 1996 after a Texan girl, Amber Hagerman was kidnapped and murdered in Arlington, Texas. Although the murdered girl was named Amber, the system actually stands for Americaãs Missing: Emergency Broadcast Response.
ãThere is strict criteria when we can use it, because we donãt want to issue it every day, because then no one would listen,ã State Police Lt. Arnold Buxton, the AMBER Alert coordinator for Rhode Island said.
To issue an AMBER alert, Buxton said there has to be an abduction, belief that the child is in imminent danger, and descriptive information about the suspect, including what he or she was wearing or what car he or she was driving. The child also has to be 17 years old or younger.
Buxton said when an AMBER alert is issued, a phone base is set up at the state Emergency Management Agency.
ãIt will continue getting calls, until we feel its not worth it anymore. At some point, we stop the AMBER Alert, but we pursue other investigative means to locate the child,ã Buxton said.
Buxton said AMBER Alert has a high success rate in Rhode Island. He said Rhode Island has issued three alerts since 2003 and all three resulted in successful recoveries of the children. Buxton also said the time lapse between when the alert is issued and when the child is found is quick. When a child went missing in 2005 in Westerly, the incident was reported at 5 p.m., and the child was recovered at 7:21 p.m. In October 2005, a child went missing at 10:15 a.m. and was recovered at 11:30 a.m., after the alert was issued. Last year on Feb. 18 Massachusetts State Police issued an AMBER Alert, where a child went missing from an industrial gas station at 3:40 p.m. Police found the child in a park in Connecticut at 4:30 p.m.
ãIn any abduction of any child, the first two hours are very critical. After two hours, the kidnapper generally kills the child,ã Buxton said. ãWe try to get it fired up as quickly as we can. The faster we get it out to the media, the better the chances are.ã
Buxton said the police tries to reach as many people as possible, using the radio, TV, billboards and now Facebook.
ãWith technology, getting the way it is, itãs getting easier to reach out to people than years ago,ã Buxton said.
In 1975 when Jason Foreman went missing, there was no such thing as the AMBER Alert system, but Hawksley said they used all they had at the time.
Even if the AMBER Alert system did exist 36 years ago, Buxton said Foreman might not have met the criteria.
ãIf he simply went missing and wasnãt seen, the AMBER Alert wouldnãt have been able to be issued anyway. If a neighbor had seen him taken away, it could have been issued,ã Buxton said.
Across the nation, 8,000 children are reported missing each year, but Buxton said not all cases meet the criteria for an AMBER Alert.
ãIt has to be an abduction, but it doesnãt mean we donãt do all that we can with other resources,ã Buxton said.
Other resources for finding a missing child includes the Reverse 911 system, in which calls are made to each residence and going onto the local TV news.
Hawksley said its hard to say whether an AMBER Alert would have made a difference for Jason.
ãWe went seven days looking for him. I donãt know if we would have ever found him or not if it wasnãt for the Sherman boy. He was a brave kid,ã Hawksley said.
Hawksley said the Foreman case would have been different if it occurred today. With DNA testing and the state Crime Lab at the University of Rhode Island, Hawksley said law enforcement has changed.
ãThereãs a lot more to work on. We didnãt have that back then. We used what we had,ã Hawksley said. ãWe would do it a lot different today. Weãd have a lot more tools today.ã
When Hawksley found out the killer of the missing child case he worked on for years would be released early, he said it made him sick.
ãThat man should not be released. He tried it twice. He did it once. I donãt want to take any chances. The chief of police doesnãt want him in this area. The people donãt want him in this area and I donãt want him in this area,ã Hawksley said. ãI donãt want to wait until something like this happens again. It would kill me.ã
Hawksley said he couldnãt believe that Woodmansee could be released on good behavior.
ãThe policeãs job is to protect the people and weãre not protecting the people when we let him go,ã Hawksley said.
Retired Capt. Ronald Hawkslay should be ashamed of the way he investigated the Jason Foreman case. Ronald Hawkslay should have used 'common sense'. The parents were badgered in the papers constantly and put under the strickest scrutiny, while the real killer danced through the police fingers. It is only by the grace of God, another child was not victim. I,who have no police training would have questioned ALL the neighbors. Ronald Hawkslay was a small town cop with a Giant case and had no expertise in the disappearance of a child. The death penelty shoud be reinstated.

I'm building the torsion beams from the Tom Casper article in June/July 2010 issue. One purpose for which I want to use them is to glue up pairs of planks that will become part of a workbench top (need a flat surface for gluing). The issue is these pieces will be about 3 to 3 1/2 inches wide. In order for clamps to reach from both sides to clamp these pieces, I've thought of either making the central web of the torsion box narrower or, after the box is assembled and glued, drilling select holes in the sides to allow clamp heads to reach into the interior of the torsion box (to be directly beneath the pieces being glued). Will either of these solutions undermine the strength of the torsion beams? Which would be preferable? Thanks.
Hi, I'd love to help but I'm not clear about what you're trying to do. Are you gluing two 3" wide boards face to face, or edge to edge?

DOE Releases Report on Techniques to Ensure Safe, Effective Geologic Carbon Sequestration | ||||
Washington, DC —The Office of Fossil Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) has created a comprehensive new document that examines existing and emerging techniques to monitor, verify, and account for carbon dioxide (CO2) stored in geologic formations. The report, titled Monitoring, Verification, and Accounting of CO2 Stored in Deep Geologic Formations, should prove to be an invaluable tool in reducing greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere through geologic sequestration. The report was prepared by NETL with input from the seven Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnerships. Its main goals are to—
Emissions of CO2 have increased from an insignificant level two centuries ago to more than 30 billion tons worldwide today. As a result, atmospheric levels of CO2 have risen from preindustrial levels of 280 parts per million (ppm) to more than 380 ppm today. If no effort is made to reduce CO2 emissions, yearly release from the United States could increase by one third from 2005 to 2030. Carbon capture and storage will help reduce this growth by capturing CO2 before it is emitted into the atmosphere. Geologic sequestration—the storage of CO2 in deep geologic formations such as depleted oil and gas reservoirs, unmineable coal seams, and saline formations—has emerged as an important and viable option in a wide-ranging portfolio of technologies. Reliable and cost-effective MVA techniques are critical to making geologic storage a safe, effective, and acceptable method for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, MVA provides data that can be used to—
The Office of Fossil Energy supports a number of carbon capture and storage initiatives including a vigorous MVA research and development program. |

Louis René Beres is a professor of International Law at Purdue University. Born in Zürich, Switzerland at the end of World War II, he is the author of many major books and articles dealing with world politics, law, literature, and philosophy.
In 1936, on the occasion of a speech by the nationalist general Millán Astray, at the University of Salamanca, in Spain, the hall thundered with the general's favorite motto, Viva la Muerte! "Long live death!" When the speech was over, Miguel de Unamuno, rector of the university, rose and said: "Just now I heard a necrophilous and senseless cry...this outlandish paradox is repellent to me." Yet, the cry that was repellent to the philosopher was also the driving passion of the Falangists, and is today the revealingly common ethos of America's mass murderers.
Macabre sentiments can animate certain severely disconsolate young people. In their impenetrably bitter circles, as we well know from the mass shootings in Colorado, Oregon, and Connecticut, there may exist a determined will to kill generally unknown other people, en masse. Whatever the differently preferred killing venues, there somehow emerges a uniformly irresistible urge to unleash lethal violence in crowds, to express potency, and, ultimately, to secure a plainly unsanctified "martyrdom."
Better to be remembered after an abruptly abbreviated life as a murderer who had displayed power, goes the prospective killer's twisted reasoning, than to be disregarded in a longer life that was insufferably weak. Paradoxically, therefore, it is through death, simultaneously self-inflicted and meted out to others, that the mass shooter plans to fashion a "living" memory. When he ostensibly explodes in what is really a controlled and mock paroxysm of rage, this aberrant killer lacks any readily identifiable targets or hatreds. For the most part, very significantly, there is no calculably logical connection between his particular set of grievances, and the names of his selected victims.
[See a collection of editorial cartoons on the Newtown shooting.]
Why? Although it is no longer shouted out loud, "Long live death!" remains the telling undertone of both a devastating social loneliness and a vanishing personal autonomy. We wonder, as we should, about the recurrent mass killings, and about the rapidly expanding locus of their utterly vulgar defilements. But should we really be all that surprised?
Sometimes, young people, especially, are more afraid of being alone and inconsequential than anything else, even death. For a few, almost always young males, the paralyzing fears of social or professional rejection can become so overwhelming that they effectively crowd out the more widely presumed sacredness of human life. Here, as an imagined compensation for palpable "injustice," the murder of complete and harmless strangers, even young children, may suddenly appear appropriate. A perversely implemented fusion of homicide and suicide can thus become a uniquely grotesque celebration of death, sinister, of course, yet also reassuring as a presumptively fitting expression of "revenge."
Crime and mass murder are taking a lurid but somewhat predictable turn in America. Whether it is in the movies, or at the movies, in our so-called music, on television, in the mall, or at the elementary school, violence and death, notably if they are brazenly brutish and cold-blooded, are in conspicuous fashion. Historically, this worrisome development is not entirely unprecedented, but increasing numbers among us are now drawn to all that can beat, batter, and tear apart innocent and fully defenseless human beings.
[See a collection of political cartoons on gun control and gun rights.]
Is it really any wonder? Virtually every American hero these days is acknowledged and acclaimed for the power to take away human life. Almost every Hollywood male superstar (and occasionally even a female star) polishes his name as some sort of assassin, the "good guy" as well as the "bad guy."

low dps 2 socket Manti or 1 socket high dps xbow?
Posted 26 November 2012 - 03:18 AM
Something like a less than 1k dps 2 socket better than what I have now?
Posted 26 November 2012 - 03:29 AM
Also your rings are missing crit stats, could be worth looking into that.
Posted 26 November 2012 - 03:32 AM
Do you have a link to a spreadsheet?
Posted 26 November 2012 - 03:35 AM
EDIT: http://www.d3up.com is actually quite good, it allows to import your character from b.Net, if you register it allows you to compare items when you change them. Also it has tons of useful statistics (like percentage representation of DPS or EHP gain per item, to spot weak items quickly or how perfectly rolled the item is), also it looks good too.

Added % elemental damage works off the physical weapon damage, therefore, Manticore with its large poison damage will be significantly penalized in the calculation. It also has IAS, therefore, its total min & max damage are very poor compared to rare Hellion crossbows, therefore, you will hit significantly less with each shot but compensate by faster attack speed. This is also something to consider as you want to maximize your damage-to-shot ratio in my eyes.
Spreadsheet is the only sure way to find out if you will gain DPS by switching to Manticore. Dretar's spreadsheet, you can find the post with it on these forums, is very good but bit complex and time consuming to fill all the data. D3up.com is a good web-based alternative with character profile import and comparison feature.
Posted 26 November 2012 - 08:39 AM
Changing into a 990 DPS/ 81 DEX/97% CHD/ 2 SOC manticore (was 8.5M on AH) is a 5.6k DPS loss
You need to go into the 1150 DPS range with at least 195 DEX to beat your current X-Bow.

I bought a nice new sexy 2-socket manticore for my Dh (roughly 100 hrs played) and sold it back to the AH the same day.
The difference the attacks per second make cannot be overlooked. Especially on a hunter who thrive on mobility. Even if I was gaining DPS, I dont think I will ever use a Xbow. It makes all your casts so much slower, which also reduce your procs of LOH etc. I got tunnel vision on my Character DPS sheet, and basically gimped my hunter. There are some specs that slow attack speeds work for, but most are really hurt by slow attacks.
I switched to a regular bow with some attack speed (1.53 APS or so) and even that felt so much better than the manti. If you are using HXbows, you will feel the sting even worse.
Again, not saying statwise or theorycraft wise Manticore is bad, just saying I pesonally hated the slow speed, and it got me killed many times from getting stuck casting, or not being able to get off a spell as fast as I should, which could have saved me.

no it works like this: if your weapon has an average of 1000dps and is pure physical damage innas will upgrade it to 1080dps. If your weapon has an average of 1000dps but half of its min max dmg comes from elemental innas will boost it to only 1040 dps. it always only boosts the raw physical part. also dont think you could replace innas that easily without significant dps losses as u also would lose 130 dex from the bonus. i have pretty much the same problem as i cant really upgrade anything atm. i sit at around 180k archery damage and my innas belt alone makes up for 35k dps right now. therefore ive been trying to search for witching hours but even ~70 dex 9ats 48 cd ones would have been a downgrade for me. same with manticores everything <1200dps 170 dex 2 sockets is almost no gain for me or a downgrade so replacing innas is actually not that easy

Bad news if you were starting to get addicted to Do No Harm. NBC has canceled the show due to poor ratings.
From the night it premiered, the show was a ratings disaster, with only a .9 rating in the key demographic. Those were the lowest numbers in history for a series debut across the big four networks (NBC, CBS, ABC and FOX). Even fewer people watched the second episode - resulting in a .7 rating.
According to Huffington Post, Do No Harm's cancellation is the fastest of the 2012-2013 season. Fox's "Ben and Kate" and ABC's "666 Park Avenue" were also cancelled, while Fox's "The Mob Doctor," ABC's "Last Resort," and The CW's "Emily Owens" were able to finish their run but will not return for a second season.
If you're wondering, the other Do No Harm episodes will not air; Law & Order: SVU will air in its place.

>I suppose cash is still the best.< It's also the most inconvenient form of payment except for very small payments. Gasoline need not apply.
I agree with you on diesel technology. I hear they have high mileage diesels in Europe but they are banned from selling here because higher mpg means lower taxes to the government. Stay safe.
Wahoo! Congrats on your 90 consecutive days! Take Care, Pass :)

Running The Numbers – Sanford ($SAN.NZ)
Wednesday, December 10th, 2008Sanford Limited ($SAN.NZ) is a New Zealand listed fishing company. $SAN.NZ is one of the few companies trading order cialis
.com/markets/nzsx/SAN/charts">higher today than a year ago. How is this in relation to the intrinsic value of the company's shares?
Valuecruncher valuation model of $SAN.NZ with interactive assumptions
Valuecruncher produces a valuation of NZ$6.30 for $SAN.NZ. This is a current valuation (an estimate of intrinsic value using a discounted cash flow model) not a target price. This valuation is 16.2% above the current share price of NZ$5.42.
- Revenue: Reuters aggregates five analysts covering $SAN.NZ and the mean estimate of 2009 revenues is NZ$445.9 million. For our analysis we have used NZ$435.0 million in 2009, NZ$450.0 million in 2010 and NZ$475.0 million in 2011.
- Profitability: We have used an EBITDA margin of 16.0% in 2009 rising to 17.0% in 2011. Reuters has $SAN.NZ's EBITD margin at 14.4% last year and an average of 20.7% over the last five-years.
- Capital Expenditure: We have assumed capital expenditures of NZ$16.5 million per annum moving forward.
- Discount Rate: 9.0%. The PwC New Zealand cost of capital report lists $SAN.NZ at 8.3% with the wider market at 9.5%.
- Terminal Growth Rate: 2.5%. The New Zealand economy has grown at an average rate of 2.6% over the last five-years. We have $SAN.NZ growing at approximately that level moving forward.
Our analysis incorporates the cash and debt on the $SAN.NZ balance sheet – Valuecruncher calculates a net debt number.
Play with our assumptions – what does your analysis say?

Pre-Law School Program at Lewis University
Secure your foundation for a successful legal career.
Many students choose to study
Pre-Law at Lewis University
because of our
Accelerated Law Program
that lets qualified students enter the prestigious
John Marshall Law School in Chicago
after their junior year of undergraduate studies.
But even if you have different graduate ambitions, Lewis University is a great place to secure your legal foundation. In fact, many of our pre-law students find it especially helpful to choose Lewis' undergraduate studies in political science, philosophy of law, philosophy, criminal/social justice, English and history. Students with specific career interests that relate to the application of law in business, technology, research and so forth, are encouraged to choose majors or minors linked to those areas as well.
While most law schools have no major or coursework requirements, we do recommend certain Lewis University courses as excellent introductions to the study of law and its affiliated fields, as well as to prepare you for passing the LSAT.
These recommended courses include:
06-300 Writing for the Professions (3)
06-310 Advanced Writing (3)
09-323 The Emergence of Modern America, 1877-1941 (3)
09-325 United States Since 1941 (3)
09-381 History of England and Great Britain after 1450 (3)

Hooked - (Stacia Naquin)
Updated: 10/11/2013 - I'm SO CLOSE to being able to do a pull-up. So my trainer introduced something new into my training.
Credit: Monument Police Department
Tense moments in a popular department store overnight, as an armed man holed up inside told authorities he was not afraid to get into a shootout.
Police say the scene began 20 minutes before midnight Sunday when the suspect broke into a car in the Walmart parking lot on Jackson Creek Parkway in Monument. When the man saw police arrive at the scene, he took off running for the nearby Kohl's.
The suspect, carrying a rifle and handgun, slipped into the store through the back door and hunkered down, refusing officer commands to surrender.
Employees, who were still at the store due to Kohl's extended holiday hours, were immediately escorted out as the entire store was put on lockdown. Monument police called for backup from the Palmer Lake Police Department, State Patrol and the El Paso County Sheriff's Office. EPSO provided a SWAT team and a crisis negotiations team.
For more than an hour, authorities and the suspect were locked in a standoff, with the suspect declaring he'd rather get in a shootout than go back to jail. Eventually, the suspect's mother got to the scene and provided officers with information that proved valuable for negotiating. The suspect eventually gave up and turned himself in, dropping his weapons before doing so.
The suspect has been identified as 29-year-old Gregory Brunton of Gleneagle. He was booked into the CJC on charges of first-degree criminal trespass, felony menacing, criminal possession of a financial device, prohibited use of weapons, theft and obstruction.
