12/01/2007: Sudan: USCIRF condemns punishment of teacher for allegedly insulting religion, urges her release and safe passage |
Contact: WASHINGTON-The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, a bipartisan, independent federal body, condemns the Sudanese government's arrest, detention, conviction and sentencing of a teacher whose elementary-school class at a British international school in Khartoum reportedly named a teddy bear "Mohammed." The teacher should be released immediately and given safe passage out of the country. According to media reports, in September British citizen Gillian Gibbons allowed her class of seven-year-olds to select a name for a stuffed toy, a teddy bear, as part of a lesson about animals. The name chosen by the children, "Mohammed," is a popular name in Sudan, as elsewhere in the Muslim world. Ms. Gibbons was arrested Nov. 25 and sentenced on Nov. 28 to 15 days in prison and deportation for allegedly insulting religion by giving the name of the Prophet of Islam to a stuffed animal. Angry mobs, armed with knives and clubs, marched Friday in Khartoum's streets demanding that the teacher be put to death. Commission Chair Michael Cromartie stated that the Sudanese authorities' prosecution of Ms. Gibbons "illustrates the arbitrary nature of laws ostensibly designed to protect religion from insult or defamation. Any personal grudge or political vendetta can provide the pretext for spurious accusations of blasphemy, apostasy, or insulting religion." Such charges have been used in Sudan and elsewhere to restrict peaceful discussion of the appropriate role of religion in state and society, to prevent criticism of specific political figures or political parties, or to curb dissent from prevailing views and beliefs. The speed with which the defendant was found guilty also suggests that she was not permitted to mount a proper defense, in flagrant disregard of due process of law. The prosecution of Ms. Gibbons also appears to contravene Sudan's own Interim Constitution, provisions in the Comprehensive Peace Agreement enjoining tolerance and the protection of the rights of non-Muslims, and international human rights treaties to which Sudan is a party. These include the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, particularly Article 14, which states that everyone charged with a criminal offense is entitled to "adequate time and facilities for the preparation of his defense and to communicate with counsel of his own choosing...." This case underlines the danger to freedom of expression and other individual rights of the international campaign to protect Islam or other religions from "defamation." In March of this year, the United Nations Human Rights Council passed a resolution calling on United Nations member states to take measures to halt so-called "defamation of religion," and a similar resolution currently is working its way through the UN General Assembly. In Sudan and other countries which criminalize "insulting" religion, the practical effect is all too often the miscarriage of justice such as the case in question. Defamation of religion laws clearly violate guarantees of international treaties, including the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which Sudan has ratified. These human rights instruments guarantee to everyone the right to freedom of expression, as well as freedom of thought, conscience, and religion or belief. Moreover, the Sudanese laws appear to subordinate individual rights in the name of protecting religion. The Commission has made a number of recommendations on U.S. policy toward Sudan, including that the U.S. government urge Sudan's Government of National Unity to end official accusations of blasphemy, apostasy, "offending Islam," or similar charges used to stifle debate or restrict the right to freedom of expression. For a full description of the Commission's views on Sudan, including a comprehensive set of recommendations for U.S. policy, please see the Sudan chapter in the Commission's most recent Annual Report.

Renegades Still On Top in South |
Clubs - Men's DI Clubs |
The Atlanta Renegaes are in command in the South DI club league after winning 48-15 over Boca Raton on the road in Florida. Charlotte, meanwhile, lost big to Life University, putting them at 0-2. The South League, cobbled together after have the league dropped down to DII just before the season started, includes non-league matches against Life and Raleigh to give clubs the requisit number of games to play. Atlanta, now 2-1, has beaten Boca twice and lost to Life. Boca is 0-2, both losses to the Renegades, while Charlotte has lost to its two non-league opponents, Raleigh and Life. So it's certainly still wide open as Charlotte has yet to play the Renegades. Next up the Renegades play Raleigh March 5, while Boca and Charlotte clash a week later, and again two weeks after that. In the space of four weeks, March 12 to April 2, Charlotte plays Boca and Atlanta each twice. That will essentially decide where they are for the season. |

Work detailsThe Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared by Jonas Jonasson (2009)
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. This was an amusing read. Very light hearted and improbable. The story is about Alan Karlson's told by the main character hemself. He's 100 year's old and decides to run away from his nursing home because he hates the rules. Many things happen and read about his earlier life also. Quite the adventure. A sweet story which, for me, was like stepping inside the mind of a 100 year old whose internal world is significantly more vivid than his physical world. The reader is privy to a set of adventures through history, with the protagonist playing quietly dynamic roles in major political events. Meet characters like Albert Einstein's adopted half brother, an elephant who save's the protagonist's life by sitting on a villain, and a mob boss. I imagine an elderly person's hazy blending of history, both personal and political, with the yearning to escape the restrictions which accrue with age. About 100 pages and at least two political encounters too long. It's a shame as it's starts off brilliantly. But the repetition grates and in the end, it became a chore. One starts to read this book with great pleasure: on the morning of his 100th birthday party in the care home, Allan absconds out the window, out of one life and into another. Who wouldn't do the same? I'm making plans already! Allan then pursues various adventures, interleaved with scenes remembered from his earlier days - equally adventurous. The problem arises with the style of writing. Allan is a camera: he merely observes. This is reflected in a faux-naive prose style which indeed perfectly encapsulates the hero's child-like approach to life. Some good jokes, to be sure, but with hardly a subordinate clause in the whole book, my word, it's tedious reading! A delightful little story of a very old man who decides to leave his retirement home one day, and the adventures that befall him. Told from his point of view as well as the point of view of his friends and companions along the way, I did not want to put down this engaging little book. Good fun. I would loved to have met this man, who is as straightforward as his life has been circuitous.
Stalin synger svenske drikkeviser, og Truman blir dritings .Forrest Gump som hundreåring i ny bok. ANMELDELSE: Han redder general Franco, riktignok etter først å ha plassert en bombe for å drepe ham. Han avverger et attentat mot Churchill, og gir Oppenheimer den endelige løsningen på formelen for atombomben. Det rene soap altså. Samtidig er det — på sin høyst skakke og fantasifulle måte — en fantastisk reise gjennom forrige århundre. Jonas Jonassen er intelligent, vittig og systemkritisk, der han harver over alt fra fjollete politifolk, rasehygienikere og despoters ideologiske paranoia. I en bok som gir håp om at alle har en fremtid, også hundreåringer.

The Fine Print
Expires April 1, 2013. Does not include tax and gratuity. One voucher per table. No cash back.
You take care of your body. You hit the gym the requisite 3-5 times a week. You know what kale tastes like. You switch to decaf after 3pm. You can't remember the last time you ate a donut. Even the healthiest among us need cheat days, though. And whether you call it "cheating," "indulging," or simply "splurging," there's really only one way to do that: treat yourself to a good steak. Nothing brings quite as much happiness to the appetite as a steak does, no matter how many times you hear someone say "I have the best quinoa recipe ever." The Steakhouse in Edgewater is one of the area's favorite places to go and get our carnivore on. Their menu boasts standards like filet mignon, porterhouse, and t-bone cuts, but you can also get the Black and Blue steak or a Steak Chesapeake, our favorite, a NY Strip covered with crab imperial. Whatever you order, you know you can't go wrong. They even have plenty of chicken, pork, and pasta items on the menu for anyone who doesnt share your passion for the primal. With this WonderDeal, you get $40 worth of food at the Steakhouse for only $20. Their premium cuts of beef and affordable pricing make this a deal you really can't refuse, especially when you consider the fact that they have some of the highest ratings on Yelp. You're getting a 5-star meal for pennies. Now that's a WonderDeal worth splurging on.
Situated in the heart of San Diego's Gaslamp Quarter, in an historic theater, resides one of southern California's premiere independently owned and operated steakhouses. Greystone the Steakhouse has been the destination for prime-aged meats, fresh seafood, and delectable pastas for the past decade. From the hand-crafted oak bar to the built in fireplace on the mezzanine, guests are embraced by the atmosphere of fine dining at its best. All entrees are prepared with the finest ingredients from the culinary traditions of Europe, America, and the Pacific Rim. Pastas, breads, and desserts are made fresh daily by our in-house pastry chefs, and everything is complimented by our award-winning selection of fine wines. Whether it's for a casual drink, an important business meeting, or an elegant dining experience, Greystone is the first choice of discerning diners.<P.Certificates not valid in Feb

Telephone Wage Reporting
Over the course of their eligibility, SSI recipients provide wage statements to us to ensure they are still receiving the correct payment amounts. As mentioned in the major causes section of the SSI background page, incorrect or out-of-date reports have led to many improper payments. In an effort to make this process easier for both the recipient and the agency, we created the SSI Automated Telephone Wage Reporting (SSITWR) System.
In the past, recipients needed to mail, fax, or hand-deliver their monthly wage reports to one of our field offices. Through the SSITWR program, those recipients can now call a dedicated agency telephone number to report their monthly wages via a voice-recognition system. Once we have the report, the information automatically updates our SSI claims system.
For FY 2011, we established a goal to achieve a targeted number of monthly reporters1 participating in the SSITWR: 28,000 by the end of FY 2011. As reflected in the chart above, we exceeded our goal. In FY 2012, our goal was to increase the monthly use of SSITWR by an additional 10 percent above the usage in September 2011.There were over 36,000 successful SSITWR reports in September 2012, which surpassed our FY 2012 goal of 31,486 monthly reports.
Our front-line employees will continue to recruit new monthly reporters and promote the use of this tool for wage reporting. For FY 2013, our goal is to increase the monthly use of SSITWR by an additional 5 percent above the usage in September 2012.
We are seeking new ways to promote SSITWR. Beginning in December 2012, SSI recipients (or their parent, spouse, or representative payee) can use their Android or iPhone to report their monthly wage amounts. This application is an extension of the SSITWR automated system that ensures the wage amounts post timely to the individual's record. This initiative will serve as a research and development project as we work towards using mobile devices to interact with our customers.
Quick Facts | |
Current Status | Program is available nationwide. |
Ease of Use | Uses voice-recognition software. Both a participant training package and instructional CD-ROMs are available. |
Resource Savings | No additional evidence generally needed once report is received. |
Accuracy Rate | Reported wages are 92.2 percent accurate. |

Monday is not very much different from Sunday except that the daily activities may change. Of all the stages in a persons life, it is the time we do the most reflecting. We go back ever so carefully over the pages of life. Joys, appreciations and love are now recognized as they had previously been taken for granted. 1 have looked into the eyes and have held the hands of the residents of Central island and have truly felt the presence of love. It was a beautiful day Sunday August 22. On Rt. 135, Seaford, Oyster Bay Expressway there was a multi-car caravan heading north carrying 43 midget cheerleaders, nine teen leaders, one mascot and a few brothers and sisters. Some of the cheerleaders' parents had offered to transport the girls to Central Island Nursing Home so they could give a cheering JV Squad "doing their thing audience. for the pleasure of their exhibition. The girls cheer for the Bethpage Midget Football games that will be starting this season on Sunday September 12th, but since football season still had a while to go, this show was scheduled. The girls were excited about showing some of their learned skills to the residents and the residents had a special mark on their calendars. The show was great! The audience was fantastic! The girls cheered for about one hour. At its conclusion, the girls went to shake hands with the residents and in the next few minutes were touched by the love of the residents. One lady said as soon as she was home she would be coming to watch one of our football games; another offered to teach us all how to make crafts; yet another wanted us to come to her birthday party. One gentleman kept telling the girls as they passed how really terrific they were. Each resident had something special to say, a special gift of words. When we returned to Bethpage, I was deeply :"uched as iri&ny of the girls asked if we could visit Central Island again - not for a show, maybe just a visit? We hope we brought some cheer to the residents. It would be the least we could do for people who haye shown us what complete unrestricted love feels like. Thank you residents and thank you girls! The girls in attendance were: Justine Barbieri, Anna Bidalis, Kimberly Chapman, Ann-Marie Cilmi, Dawn Cirino, Colleen Cosgriff, Luann Gianniz-zerro, Angela Gulotta, Michelle Kalksh, Maureen Lenihan, Laura Madrigano, Daryie Ann Mclner-ney, Pam Petrucelly, Colleen Quigley, Gayle Romano, Gina Valenti, Shelley Aronowitz, Denise Barager, Maria Castagna, Kim Coniglio, Cristi Corte, Marie DiGuiseppi, Donna Franzese, Suzanne Fredericks, Melissa Hochman, Dawn Lisa, Heather Siedlecki, Danette Yaniro, Stacy Aronowitz, Frances Bidalis, Jean Ferraro, Angela & Christina Fulgieri, Tammy, Tracey & Tiffany Hance, Janice Iacono, Diane Lisa, Danielle LoBosco, Debbie Mclnerney, Danielle Pollock, Krissy Powers, Carrie Rossi and Courtney Singer. Special thanks to teen leaders: Gina LaSalla, Stephanie Cole, Bernadette Romano, Terry Castagna, Patty Savarese, Flo Delario, Angela Manfredi, Bridget Safuto and Kathy O'Brien. Residents express their appreciation for the show to Angela Fulgieri and Krissy Powers. Welcome To Bethpage Bethpage welcomes CAROL SHAPIRO, the new Children's Librarian at the Bethpage Public Library. Mrs. Shapiro joined the library staff this summer following the retirement of Bea Moscowitz. Formerly head of Children's Services at the Hillside Public Library in New Hyde Park, Mrs. Shapiro has been active in the library profession. She co-authored and produced two programs on library service to children for Cablevision, is a member of the Executive Board of the Children's Services Division of the Nassau County Library Association, and has led workshops for colleagues on using magic and folk music in children's programs. A graduate of Smith College and the Palmer Graduate Library School, Mrs. Shapiro is the author of two novels for olders girls, The Last Year and The Secret of the Sea Rocks, both published by David McKay, and The Roll 'Em and Stuff'Em Cookbook, a Cookbook Club Alternate. Among her special interests are, of course, children, books, and writing, as well as guitar playing, storytelling and puppetry. She and her husband Marvin share an interest in folk music and sailing. "It is endlessly fascinating to me and terribly important," Carol Shapiro says, "to seek new and increasingly better ways to bring children, their families, and books together. I hope to maintain the Bethpage Library Children's Room as the friendly, inviting place it has always been." mmmmmmmmmmmmm

House of the Day: Room to Play at NFL Hall of Famer's Mansion
Apr 18th 2012 6:00AM
There's no doubt about it, this newly listed mansion is baller. In more ways than one. First off, it's owned by NFL Hall of Famer Willie Roaf (the Kansas City Chiefs and New Orleans Saints offensive tackle was inducted just this year), and it's also an exceptional property in its own right. Nestled in the hills... Continue Reading »

text: Sociopathic Rae Phillips (Kate Vernon) lives only to avenge the past wrong in her life that made her the monster she is today. Stealing the identity of a woman named Kelly Richards, our "heroine" persuades Kelly's wealthy Southern in-laws that she is the genuine article, and is invited to move in with them permanently. What follows is a steady progression of lies, betrayals and suspicious "suicides", the like of which give a whole new meaning to the phrase "blood relative." Filmed on location in North Carolina, the surprisingly sanguine cable movie The Sister-in-Law made its first USA network appearance on July 12, 1995. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Str/Melee Hero
Martial Artist/unarmed style
Skill 1: Unison Attack
For 4/5/6/7 seconds, whenever the nearest ally hero within 700 range attacks, you attack the same target with a ranged KI-burst for 40/50/60/70% of your base damage. No cast time, running/attacking is not interrupted.
Skill 2: Flash Kick
You teleport to the enemy and kick him in the direction of the nearest ally hero. 200/300/400/500 range fast pushback. The pushback ends when the enemy hits a tree or unit in the way.
Skill 3: Unison Formation
The next time you are 500/900/1100/1500 range apart from target ally hero, after 0.3 seconds, you teleport in front of him and stun all enemies in 250(?) range for 0.5/1/2/3 seconds.
Subskill 3: Forced Unison
If Unison Formation is active, you teleport instantly, regardless of range.
Skill 4: Ultimate Combination
The next time target ally hero uses a skill that is not passive or a toggle/autocast within 8 seconds, you use the skill, too. Any damage you would deal is reduced by 60/45/30%. Targets (ground/unit) stay the same. There is no mana cost for the borrowed skill. Range requirements for the borrowed skill are ignored.
Low cast range for the initial spell.
Playstyle: Obviously, pair up with another hero. Use Unison attack on fast-hitters like Nymphora or agi based heroes to kill single targets quickly. Use Flash Kick and Unison Formation in combination to help your ally catch up to the enemy and stun him additionally. You can also hide in the woods and have a stealther or someone with blink go into the enemy and teleport+stun in yourself. The Ultimate is .. well, go figure out fun stuff. It's possible to stealth yourself, cast Pyro's ultimate, Devourer-hook, kill yourself by copying Legionnaire's taunt, charge at the same time like Kraken or Zephyr, summon a Malphas ..
GFX thoughts: Skill 1+4 could have yellow/red glowy auras around both chars involved, the hit-animation from skill 1 could be a blue energy burst on the enemy (something like Starcraft's Corsairs). The position where you teleport to with skill 2 would be in a straight line with the ally behind the enemy.
(ally) --- (enemy)(you)
Balancing thoughts: Well yeah, the ultimate. Depending on other powerful skills, there could be some overkill combos.
Skill 1's damage, recast, duration and manacost can be tweaked heavily to increase or decrease the UF's performance to get him to a desired level.
Might want to add a damage component to skills 2 or 3, or a snare/silence to skill 2.

Some formating and synergies would help here, but first suggestion that was worth reading.
Flash Kick knockback should be ~250-400 max range.

Power of One: Restorative justice couples victims with offenders
from the article on CTV.ca:
....A woman named Marité has been taking part in the process, not by facing her sexually-abusive father, but rather, another man who committed similar acts.
She said that results have helped her cope with the damage she suffered.
"For him it was like I was his daughter," said Marité. "And I was able also to express my anger to him and that's what he wanted rather than silence from his daughter."
"I can now go forward because I'm not bound to my father anymore. I can leave him go."

Listening to crime victims: North Carolina restorative justice conference
by Lisa Rea
When crime victims speak about the effect violent crime has had on their lives you have to listen. On June 9th I moderated a crime victims roundtable during the 3rd Annual Restorative Justice Conference in Raleigh, North Carolina coordinated this year by Campbell University Law School. The roundtable called "Listening to Crime Victims: Their Journeys Toward Healing" was sponsored by the Journey of Hope: From Violence to Healing. The four victims of violence who told their stories were Bill Pelke, chair, Journey of Hope: From Violence to Healing (Alaska), Stephen Watt, Stephen Watt Ministries (Wyoming) , Bess Klassen-Landis, musician and teacher (Vermont), and Kim Book, executive director, Victims Voices Heard (Delaware). No matter how many crime victims panels I have moderated the stories are always riveting and often what I hear the victims say is new even when I am familiar with the stories. I learn something new as the victims move along in their lives---their own personal journeys.

Hector Wine Co. opens in Schuyler
HECTOR—For both owners of the new Hector Wine Co., Jason Hazlitt and Justin Boyette, grapes and wine are old hat.
The two opened the winery four weeks ago. Hazlitt explained he met Boyette at Atwater Estate Vineyards, during the 2008 harvest. That was not the first winery job for either one of them. Hazlitt said he has also worked at Sawmill Creek Vineyards and Hazlitt 1852 Vineyards, and went to college for viticulture. Boyette's experience also includes Red Newt Cellars Winery and Rasta Ranch Vineyards.
"He knows how to handle a tasting room," said Hazlitt.
The two decided to start a winery together. Hazlitt said his father had purchased some property across the road from family owned acres six years ago. He explained his father said another winery could open on that spot.
With the site and grapes available, the only thing required was the winery itself. Hazlitt said Fred Tanneberger helped with the buildings, contractors, and quotes. The one area new to the two owners was the paperwork required in establishing a winery.
"The easiest part was getting the grapes," Hazlitt explained. "The hardest was the paperwork."
Since opening, Hazlitt said the winery has gotten pretty good business. One difference from other wineries in the area is the hours. Hector Wine Co. is open 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Sunday. Hazlitt said the winery gets the before and after dinner crowd.
He added the winery also hosts music on weekends, and local products like art, cheese and mustard. Hazlitt said they are always looking for more artists or producers to sell.
Hazlitt said he and Boyette hope to double production over the next couple of years. Meanwhile, Hector Wine Co. offers a variety of wines, like Chardonnay, Merlot, Riesling, and Sauvignon Blanc. Hazlitt said the owners kept production down as this was the first year.
While he wants to increase production, Hazlitt said plans are to keep the size of the tasting room the same. He explained it's not going to be a big winery.

By Mayo Clinic staffMost people normally shed 50 to 100 hairs a day. But with about 100,000 hairs in the scalp, this amount of hair loss shouldn't cause noticeable thinning of the scalp hair. As people age, hair tends to gradually thin. Other causes of hair loss include hormonal factors, medical conditions and medications.
Hormonal factors
The most common cause of hair loss is a hereditary condition called male-pattern baldness or female-pattern baldness. In genetically susceptible people, certain sex hormones trigger a particular pattern of permanent hair loss. Most common in men, this type of hair thinning can begin as early as puberty.
Hormonal changes and imbalances can also cause temporary hair loss. This could be due to pregnancy, childbirth, discontinuation of birth control pills or the onset of menopause.
Medical conditions
A variety of medical conditions can cause hair loss, including:
- Thyroid problems. The thyroid gland helps regulate hormone levels in your body. If the gland isn't working properly, hair loss may result.
- Alopecia areata. This disease occurs when the body's immune system attacks hair follicles — causing smooth, roundish patches of hair loss.
- Scalp infections. Infections, such as ringworm, can invade the hair and skin of your scalp, leading to hair loss. Once infections are treated, hair generally grows back.
- Other skin disorders. Diseases that can cause scarring, such as lichen planus and some types of lupus, can result in permanent hair loss where the scars occur.
Hair loss can be caused by drugs used to treat:
- Cancer
- Arthritis
- Depression
- Heart problems
- High blood pressure
Other causes of hair loss
Hair loss can also result from:
- A physical or emotional shock. Many people experience a general thinning of hair several months after a physical or emotional shock. Examples include sudden or excessive weight loss, a high fever, or a death in the family.
- Hair-pulling disorder. This mental illness causes people to have an irresistible urge to pull out their hair, whether it's from the scalp, their eyebrows or other areas of the body. Hair pulling from the scalp often leaves patchy bald spots on the head.
- Certain hairstyles. Traction hair loss can occur if the hair is pulled too tightly into hairstyles such as pigtails or cornrows.

Chronic Fatigue: Antidepressants
Topic Overview
Antidepressants do not cure CFS. They may relieve symptoms such as fatigue, sleep problems, difficulty concentrating, and pain. But they will not affect the course of the illness or the speed of recovery.
Antidepressants that are commonly used to treat chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) include:
- Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), such as fluoxetine (for example, Prozac), paroxetine (Paxil), sertraline (Zoloft), citalopram (Celexa), and escitalopram (Lexapro).
- Tricyclic antidepressants, such as amitriptyline, desipramine (Norpramin), imipramine (Tofranil), and nortriptyline (Pamelor).
- Other antidepressants, such as bupropion (Wellbutrin), trazodone, venlafaxine (Effexor), and mirtazapine (Remeron).
When these medicines are used to treat CFS, they may be given in lower doses than the amounts used to treat depression.
The choice of medicine may depend on the symptoms that are most bothersome, because each medicine has somewhat different side effects. For example:
- If you have trouble sleeping, you may need a medicine to take at bedtime that causes drowsiness.
- If you have trouble concentrating on daily tasks, you may need a medicine to take during the day that can help with concentration and clear thinking.
If depression has been diagnosed along with CFS, antidepressants may be used to treat depression as well.
FDA advisories. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued:
- A warning on the antidepressants Paxil and Paxil CR (paroxetine) and birth defects. Some studies have shown that women who took Paxil during their first 12 weeks of pregnancy have a slightly higher chance of having a baby with birth defects.1
- An advisory on antidepressant medicines and the risk of suicide. The FDA does not recommend that people stop using these medicines. Instead, a person taking antidepressants should be watched for warning signs of suicide. This is especially important at the beginning of treatment or when doses are changed.
Do not suddenly stop taking antidepressants. These medicines must be gradually tapered off under your doctor's supervision.
