3/08/2007: USCIRF calls on Russia to Withdraw or Substantially Modify Amended Law on Non-Governmental Organizations |
Contact: WASHINGTON-The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom calls on the Russian government to withdraw or substantially modify its amended law regulating non-governmental organizations, as outlined in a new, in-depth legal analysis released in advance of the legislation's implementation. According to the Commission study, the law places disturbing restrictions on NGOs and further circumscribes the already limited role the government grants civil society in a country where democracy is under increasing threat. The report, Challenge to Civil Society: Russia's Amended Law on Noncommercial Organizations, provides the first detailed legal analysis of the legislation and its impact. "Key elements of the law are vague and open to arbitrary and discretionary interpretation and enforcement, in many areas resulting in a dramatic expansion in government powers," said Felice D. Gaer, the Commission chair. "Repeal of the law would alleviate most of the concerns raised by this report. At a minimum, the Russian government should amend or clarify problematic provisions and regulations ... in a manner that ensures the law's respect for international norms related to freedom of association, freedom of thought, conscience and religion or belief, and related human rights," Gaer states in the introduction. Based on material drawn from a Commission delegation visit to Russia and subsequent research, the report concludes that the law raises profound concerns for the continued viability of a diverse and representative civil society in Russia. Further, it will increase significantly the involvement of Russian officials in the formation of civil society organizations and the way in which these organizations raise money, plan and initiate programs and activities. Some of the NGO law's provisions also directly limit the human rights of members of religious communities, including charitable activities, and have had a chilling-if not freezing-effect on the overall climate for human rights monitoring. The Commission also recommends that the law's implementation should be closely and independently monitored. This should include the law's impact on religious organizations, which along with all domestic NGOs are required to file their first reports on their activities and finances to the Russian government on April 15. It further recommends that the Russian government:
The Commission has also recently published Policy Focus Russia. That report notes that political authoritarianism, rising nationalism, officially tolerated xenophobia and intolerance, and the sometimes arbitrary official response to domestic security concerns are jeopardizing human rights in Russia, all of which are essential for the protection of freedom of thought, conscience, religion or belief. Those trends are having a particularly harsh impact on Russia's Muslims and other religious and ethnic minorities. The Commission was created by the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998 to monitor violations of the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion or belief abroad and to give independent policy recommendations to the President, Secretary of State and Congress. Since its inception, the Commission has focused on Russia because of the increasingly tenuous status of human rights as well as Russia's role as an example for other post-Soviet republics and countries in transition. Robert Blitt was the principal researcher and drafter of the NGO study, along with Tad Stahnke, deputy director for policy. Catherine Cosman, senior policy analyst, drafted Policy Focus Russia.

Retired U.S. Air Force Lieutenant General Thomas McInerney is a right-wing Fox News contributor and a member of the "Military Committee" of the neoconservative Center for Security Policy. A member of the "Military Advisory Council" of the Mitt Romney/Paul Ryan presidential campaign, McInerney's distinctions also include having served four tours of duty in Vietnam,[1] working with numerous defense contractors—including Loral Defense Systems and Signal Technology Corps[2]—and supporting the discredited "Birther" movement, which questions whether President Barack Obama was born in the United States.[3]
McInerney has also chaired the advisory council of the Iran Policy Committee,[4] a rightist group led by Raymond Tanter; served on the advisory board of Rachel Ehrenfeld's American Center for Democracy[5]; and been a member of the Executive Council of the Intelligence Summit.[6] In addition, he has addressed conferences of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) on Middle East strategic issues[7] and has championed aggressive "war on terror" policies in neoconservative outlets, including the Wall Street Journal editorial page and William Kristol's Weekly Standard.
A vocal advocate of the notion that the United States is engaged in a global conflict with "radical Islam," McInerney often targets Iran in his writings. In a November 2012 book review for the right-wing Washington Times, he used the release of a recent spy novel titled The Natanz Directive to warn about Iran and criticize the Obama administration's handling that country's alleged nuclear weapons program. He wrote: "The messianic ambitions of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Ayatollah Ali Khamenei are on full display in The Natanz Directive. Because of [main character Jake Conlan's] stunning findings in Iran, the U.S. administration is forced to take military action. The war plan [that the author] calls 'Big George'—an operation involving hundreds of sorties of stealth bombers and strike aircraft—is, in fact, a viable plan I developed for a presentation to the Intelligence Summit based on my experiences in a real-world strike on terrorists in the 1980s. One can only hope a U.S. president never has to put Big George into operation. With the Obama administration, it may be as unlikely as ever."
When Mitt Romney announced in October 2012 the creation of his campaign's "Military Advisory Council," commentators noted that the council was chock-a-block with former military officers who had "left the government only to become highly paid consultants and board members to major weapons makers," as the blog boldprogressive.org put it. Joining McInerney on the council were retired General James Conway, a board member for Textron, which produces helicopters and other military hardware; retired former commander of U.S. Strategic Command James O. Ellis, a Lockheed Martin board member; retired air force General Ronald Fogleman, a proponent of missile defenses and longtime ally of hawkish right-wing political factions who has served on the on the boards of Alliant Techsystems, AAR Corporation, and Mesa Air Group; and retired General Tommy Franks, leader of the 2003 invasion of Iraq, whose consultancy Franks & Associates LLC specializes in "disaster recovery."[8]
Military-Industrial Complex
It was not the first time that observers called attention to McInerney's paid connections to military contractors. These connections drew widespread media attention in early 2008 when a New York Times investigative report named McInerney as one of several dozen retired military officers—many of whom served as military analysts for various media outlets—who had received administration briefings as part of a controversial and hitherto unknown Pentagon program to positively influence public opinion on U.S. policies in the "war on terror."[9]
According to the Times, which broke the story on April 20, 2008, the Pentagon program selected the officers, who also included Barry McCaffrey and Paul Vallely, because as retired military personnel they "often got more airtime than network reporters, and they were not merely explaining the capabilities of Apache helicopters. They were framing how viewers ought to interpret events. What is more, while the analysts were in the news media, they were not of the news media. They were military men, many of them ideologically in sync with the administration's neoconservative brain trust, many of them important players in a military industry anticipating large budget increases to pay for an Iraq war."[10] The Pentagon program, which began in 2002, ran until it was suspended in late April 2008, after the Times investigation broke.[11] Fox continued to use McInerney as an on-air analyst after the story's publication.
As participants in the Pentagon program, the retirees had access to senior military officials and decision-makers, and also were frequently "involved in the business of helping companies win military contracts," according to the Times. "Several held senior positions with contractors that gave them direct responsibility for winning new Pentagon business. … Still others held board positions with military firms that gave them responsibility for government business. General McInerney, the Fox analyst, for example, sits on the boards of several military contractors, including Nortel Government Solutions, a supplier of communication networks."[12] (Since the 2003 invasion of Iraq, Nortel has received millions of dollars worth of U.S. government contracts to create fiber optic networks in Iraq.)[13]
McInerney appears to have been responsive to the administration's message. In one memo obtained by the Times, McInerney responded in late 2006 to talking points he received from the Pentagon, saying, "Good work, we'll use it."[14] (The Times did not specify the issue McInerney was referring to.)
In another case, after a group of retired generals issued scathing critiques of then-Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's performance and demanded his resignation in early 2006, the Pentagon sought to respond via its network of retired officers. On April 14, 2006, Pentagon officials helped McInerney and Vallely draft an op-ed piece, according to the Times.[15] After Vallely sent a note to the Pentagon saying that any help with the draft would "be much appreciated," Rumsfeld's office "quickly forwarded talking points and statistics to rebut the notion of a spreading revolt."[16] On April 17, the Wall Street Journal published "In Defense of Donald Rumsfeld," an op-ed by McInerney, Vallely, and two other retired generals. "In the end [Rumsfeld's] the man in charge and the buck stops with him," they wrote. "As long as he retains the confidence of the commander in chief he will make the important calls at the top of the department of defense. That's the way America works. So let's all breathe into a bag and get on with winning the global war against radical Islam."[17]
From 1996 to 2000, as president of Business Executives for National Security (BENS), McInerney promoted the idea that private companies have a responsibility to help the government improve security, and vice versa. In his role as BENS head, he stated, "We believe that the American business community of today not only has an interest in national security, but that it has a distinct role to play in cooperation with the federal government in preventing the spread and use of WMD."[18] In 2000, McInerney founded his own consulting firm, Government Reform Through Technology.
In his last role with the Air Force, McInerney was "director of the Defense Performance Review, reporting to the secretary of defense. In that capacity, he led the Pentagon's 'reinventing government' effort" that "focused on making the government perform better at less cost."[19] Despite those goals, the program backfired, according to the Project on Government Oversight, which reported, "Defense contractors are taking advantage of new opportunities to rip-off the federal government under policy reforms instituted by Clinton/Gore's Reinventing Government campaign and an industry-chummy Congress. Spare parts prices have ballooned by up to fifteen times (or 1,532%) by contractors like Boeing and AlliedSignal taking advantage of lax accounting and oversight under federal policy changes."[20]
Hawkish Advocacy
Since the election of President Barack Obama, McInerney has frequently lambasted the Democratic administration for what he regards as its weakness on defense. In a July 2009 op-ed for Fox News, for example, McInerney criticized efforts to ax the controversial F-22 fighter jet program, described by many experts, including the secretary of defense, as too costly and serving no strategic purpose. McInerney opined to the contrary, arguing that the "nation can not afford [the] risk" of losing the F-22, which he described as the "the most capable fighter ever produced."[21]
In a September 2009 op-ed for the right-wing media group Stand Up America, McInerney and coauthor Paul Vallely argued that Obama and his advisers had refused to acknowledge that "we are in a Global War Against Radical Islam (GWARI)."[22] Alluding to misleading historical parallels often made by neoconservative ideologues, the authors wrote that "radical Islam" is "ideology that is as evil as Nazism, Fascism and Communism." To win this "war," they argued, the Obama administration must stop "appeasing" "Moderate Islam" and instead "hold them accountable for Radical Islam's conduct. … We will not defeat Radical Islam until Moderate Islam plays the key role in defeating this hideous evil ideology that bears no resemblance to a religion." McInerney and Vallely also worried that President Obama would not heed the recommendations of Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the head of NATO forces in Afghanistan, to increase troops levels in Afghanistan, which they argued could lead to defeat.[23]
In his appearances on Fox and in his writings for conservative outlets, McInerney has voiced extremely hawkish—and sometimes wildly conspiratorial—positions regarding America's purported enemies, including Russia, Iran, Syria, and North Korea. In a February 2006 television interview with Bill O'Reilly, McInerney claimed—without evidence—that Russia helped Saddam Hussein hide weapons of mass destruction in Syria.[24]
In a 2003 article for the Wall Street Journal, McInerney and coauthor James Woolsey, former CIA chief and a vocal hardliner with close links to several military contractors, discussed attacking North Korea over its nuclear weapons program. They argued that "the reflexive rejection in the public debate of the use of force against North Korea has begun to undermine U.S. ability both to influence China to act and to take the preparatory steps necessary for effectiveness if force should be needed.… It is not reasonable to limit the use of force to a surgical strike destroying Yongbyon [where a reprocessing facility is located]. … we must be prepared to win a war, not execute a strike."[25]
McInerney again proposed a preemptive attack as a counterproliferation solution in an April 2006 Weekly Standard article—this time targeting Iran weapons. In the piece, McInerney effusively described his idea of an "effective military response"— it would "consist of a powerful air campaign led by 60 stealth aircraft (B-2s, F-117s, F-22s) and more than 400 nonstealth strike aircraft, including B-52s, B-1s, F-15s, F-16s, Tornados, and F-18s. Roughly 150 refueling tankers and other support aircraft would be deployed, along with 100 unmanned aerial vehicles for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance, and 500 cruise missiles … Among the weapons would be the new 28,000-pound bunker busters, 5,000-pound bunker penetrators, 2,000-pound bunker busters, 1,000-pound general purpose bombs, and 500-pound GP bombs. A B-2 bomber, to give one example, can drop 80 of these 500-pound bombs independently targeted at 80 different aim points."[26]
McInerney is author or coauthor of several books, including the September 2007 book published by the Iran Policy Committee, Baghdad Ablaze: How to Extinguish the Fires in Iraq, which was coauthored by McInerney, Tanter, Valley, and Bruce McColm. McInerney and Vallely cowrote Endgame: The Blueprint for Victory in the Iraq War (2004).

According to ASUS the Rampage III Extreme is "Designed for those who know the Dark Art of Overclocking". It comes equipped with all features that overclockers dream of, and also has new stuff like ROG Connect for example. The board supports CPUs for Intel Socket 1366, which means Core i7 including Gulftown (yes, I asked). As chipset Intel's X58 and ICH10R is used like on the Rampage II Extreme. ASUS has routed 32 PCI-Express 2.0 lanes to the PCI-E x16 slots, so you can either run x16+x16, x16+x8+x8 or x8+x8+x8+x8 - all without the added heat and latency of NVIDIA's nForce 200. As we hear this does make quite a difference in a 4x HD 5870 configuration for example. Major improvements have also been made to the power solution which is now 8-phase digital 250 - 1000 kHz. Of course support for USB 3.0 and SATA 6 Gb/s is included as well. While exact details are not known, the price of the board will be "highest priced ROG" - my guess is around $400, with availability starting around the Gulftown launch which should be some time in March. Big, big picture, about 5 MB, can be found here.
32 Megapixels is really not all that much these days. This board looks nice, but with eVGA's Dual-Socket board, it doesn't stand up. Same amount of money, more benefit. EDIT: Image does not work for me. EDIT^2: Only a single Gigabit LAN?!
image should work now. image was stitched together from 9 21 MP images and scaled down so that photoshop could actually export it as jpg
The evga board and this asus aren't even in the same catagory. The EVGA board doesn't support I7 cpu's, will cost alot more (motherboard price plus two xeon dual QPI cpu's), and is more targeted for server and "heavy-duty" work station(folding, crunching, things like that that actually use a computers full potention) applications(IMHO)
isn't that like comparing the jump of a one legged man to a man with both legs that a fully functional? One has quite an obvious disadvantage so should not be compared.
I can understand that, but let me ask you this. Which will cost more? The EVGA board and TWO dual QPI xeon processors, or that $400 ASUS and one I7 920?
Skinny heatsinks usually overheat, and with sata 6 and usb 3 i might get it instead of the E762 And evga board is just for marketing and fit, i will never pay 1000usd for a overclocked 920 (cof cof 975 cof)
Obvious. But what I net is exactly what you said, two processors I've been off and on 2P systems since my dual P2 333Mhz. I admit that it used to be much more cost-effective back then, but I can still get value from 2P these days. Low(er) TDP Xeons for instance. Not knocking the Asus, it's one hot board and I'd certainly use it if a client asked for it in a build, I just couldn't buy one personally.
Just out of curiosity: what are the molex connectors for? Also, I notice the 8-pin power connectors up top, with another 8-pin next to it, although 4 are covered on the second one. How much power is expected to flow through this EDIT close-up view: http://www.pcworld.fr/image/zoom/1100821/Asus-Rampage-III-Extreme-5
Wont overheat. The chipset without the imc runs alot cooler and there was no mention of the hot as a mofo nf200.
uhm you do realize that if you click the link at the end of the news post it gives you a much high resolution photo ?
Something I always wish they'd advertise is if these boards will do 16x16x1x1x... for like crossfire/sli plus two add on cards.
if i'm not mistaken, these connectors are to support the PCIE slot power requirements during extreme overclocking/benchmarking sessions (for the graphics card of course). 1st post! i just couldn't resist lurking around.
Was thinking that, but wanted to be sure. There's an awful lot of power-related stuff on this board. I'm guessing it's set-up to be an OCers dream. Or sumfink. Congrats on your first post, BTW
Ridiculously priced but an awesome looking board. I dont know what is up Asus' craw with doing just one gigabit lan port. My board has one and my other Asus has had only one. Maybe they know something we dont.
They do low profile heatsink cuz you can mount your hyper mega helm gladiator universe big 20 heatpipes CPU heatsink, and no im not kidding.
My apologies. It does seem like there is only one lan connection. However, you'll note that some networking modems, like mine, are coming with one plug in / many out. The first block is ps/2 and 2 usb. Reset button for bios. 1394 The second block. Bottom external SATA port. SPDIF and Coax The last block is obviously speakers. There would be a receiver for blue tooth as well. The Rampage II definitely has 2 Lan ports. It would be easier if it was announced, and you could just look it up in the manual. There's a limited amount of space, with the extra audio stuff being onboard.

Yahoo late last night flipped the switch on a new search marketing system it hopes will help it close the gap on sector leader Google.
Codenamed "Panama", the new model gives sponsored ads higher billing based on keyword matches to page content. In the old approach, ads were ordered only by which marketers bid most.
A new user interface and dashboard was already being tested by customers before Yahoo! yesterday launched what senior engineer Awa Awadallah called the "quality-ordering marketplace".

text: It's the Final Countdown!Join in the last hours of the Pathfinder Online kickstarter!You've answered the call to kickstart our Pathfinder Online technology demo—but will you saddle up for the final hours of our journey? We've met our initial goal of $50,000—and then some! Every stretch goal we've set up for the Pathfinder Online technology demo has been met, from the Isle of 2,000 Backers to the Forest of $150,000, but will you find the Planar Rift to the $250,000 Zone? Every step of our stretch goals has meant that you have gotten another level added to that wretched hive of scum and villainy, Thornkeep! This dangerous place was initially designed as just a simple dungeon, penned by industry veteran Rich Baker, but every met goal has added more levels crafted by writers that long-time tabletop gaming fans will recognize—Jason Bulmahn, James Jacobs, Erik Mona, and with the $200,000 goal met, Ed Greenwood as well! Because we've done so phenomenally, the print version of the Thornkeep book (available if you pledge $50 or more) has grown from a 64-page book to 96—that's the size of one of our Adventure Path volumes! Because we reached other stretch goals for the demo, if you've pledged $75 or more, you'll get your printed copy of the Thornkeep book autographed by all of the dungeon's authors.

The Pensacola Blue Wahoos have received right-handed pitcher Chad Rogers from Bakersfield to fill the vacancy created by J.C. Sulbaran's trade to the Kansas City Royals' organization.
Rogers, 23, was 6-4 in 21 starts with the Blaze this season. He pitched 111 1/3 innings, striking out 88 batters and walking 29 and compiling a 3.15 earned-run average. His ERA was third-best in the Advanced-A California League when he was promoted.
Rogers, from Galveston, Texas, was drafted by the Cincinnati Reds in the 28th round of the 2010 draft out of Galveston Junior College. He is expected to start on the road Friday in the series opener against the Huntsville Stars.
The first-year Wahoos are the Reds' Double-A affiliate.

Best of Lifework: Publishers Charlotte and Peter Fiell
Ex-Taschen editors Charlotte and Peter Fiell established Fiell's publishing in July 2008 with the aim of "publishing beautiful, content-rich illustrated books across a range of interesting and pertinent subject areas. Some of the books we author ourselves, and some we commission from other authors whom we respect and trust." I found them through two of their beautifully designed books: The Little Book of Shocking Eco Facts and The Little Book of Global Facts (which arrived at my house today, thank you Doug! It's a very inspiring little book that I highly recommend). I hope you enjoy their London-based home office.
How long have you worked from home? And where is home? We have worked from our home in West London for the last 15 years and I think it has worked really well because we have always had separate offices – probably we would have driven each other mad otherwise. Working from home has its pros and cons, but definitely one of the greatest advantages is being on hand if you have children…it was great when our daughters were small as we could fit work around them rather than the other way round.
Describe your style? How would you define your aesthetic? Our look is definitely eclectic – a mix of contemporary office furnishings with "furniture classics" from the 50s, 60s and 70s….Charles Eames, Pierre Paulin, Vico Magistretti, Charles Pollock. We think it is really important to work in a pleasant space so we try to make our workspaces as un-officey as possible by having art on the walls and lots of interesting objects from our personal design study collection.
How do you keep your home office organized? Peter manages to keep a pretty tidy office, but unfortunately my desk is a mess of stacked paper as is my computer desktop….when it gets too bad I have to have a ruthless spring clean….which is very therapeutic.
When you put together your home office what did you keep in mind? It was important for us to create workspaces that had lots of book shelves and filing capacity, but also we made the conscious decision not to use desks or office chairs that looked too corporate.
Is there any piece of home office furniture you covet? An antique plan chest would actually be a really useful piece of furniture for us, but unfortunately we don't have the room to accommodate one!
What is a desk accessory you can't do without? Our Folle stapler it is just a beautiful yet functional object, Fiskars scissors are pretty great too…
What would you change about your own workspace? More space for more book shelves!
What do you most love about your space? Looking out through the window into the jungle-like garden which is planted with enormous palm trees.
What inspires you? We love the research that lies behind our books, especially when we make historical discoveries and, of course, working with other creative people such as the authors, editors and graphic designers is also highly inspiring.

The previous article looked at the trades Ireland made involving the 2013 draft. The conclusions was that he had a +550.2 net gain in points based upon the traditional draft value chart. Before I move into the recent work that people have done I decided it would be good to get a greater picture of how good +550 points is.
I used espn draft trade tracker to catalog all 26 trades executed during the 2013 draft. I summed all the positives and negative points of every trade.
For trades involving future picks, I made the assumption that a pick one year out is worth one round less than a pick this year. For example, if you receive a 2014 5th round pick, I used the value of the middle pick of the 6th round to assign the future pick a value. There was one trade involving a 2015 7th round pick. I assigned zero points to that pick. I honestly can't believe people haggled over the value of a trade using a 7th round pick, 2 years out.
Since I cannot assign a reliable value to players traded, I took them out of the equation and summed the points. Then I report who the team traded for and/or traded away.
Here are the results for 2013:
There were 28 teams that made some kind of trade on draft day. 15 of them wound up plus or minus 8 points. The first pick of the 7th round is worth 8.6 points. So they did not really gain or lose much value in the trades, just jockeyed position. Ireland notched +550.2 points but traded away Devon Bess. He absolutely blew away the field. The next closest was San Francisco with +142.8 points.
Obviously the trade with Oakland was a huge trade that makes up most of the points (520 out of 550.2). However, even if you take away the Oakland trade, Ireland still accumulated 30.2 points, minus whatever you would assign to Devon Bess. For comparison, 30.2 points would still put Ireland at #4 on the list.
I even went back and assessed every trade for the previous 4 years (2010-2013 drafts). Ireland's score of +550.2 is by far the best trade over that period. Even better than St. Louis' trade down which gave Washington RGIII (only +135 points).
Using the traditional draft value chart, it is very clear: Ireland did an overall superb job of trades on draft day this year. Even though most of the points came from one trade, it was a huge gain in value for the Dolphins. I will offer a caveat: There are issues with the draft value chart, which is what the updated version I will present next seeks to improve upon. The new version will offer a different evaluation of everyone's bartering skills.

Date of death: 11-01-2008
Marine Lance Cpl. Maria Lauterbach has been tragically killed. She will be missed by all that love her.
Marine Lance Cpl. Maria Lauterbach has been tragically killed. She will be missed by all that love her.
Tribute created by:
Marla Winters
What many of you don't know is her rap sheet is horrible she was a liar and stole and was trying to screw over Cpl. Cesar Laurean by keeping a baby that he did not want! She wanted him to leave his wife and he refused so she went crazy and claimed rape and hunted him down asking for money! It's sad she died but she should have kept her legs closed!
I first met Maria in bootcamp 2006. We were in the same platoon (Oscar co. plt 4029) and lived across from me in the squad bay. During rifle qualifications she was my rackmate and was jst a funny, happy, and full of life person. She is still greatly missed, and will never forget the wonderful person she was.
-Liz -
I deeply regret the Corps' failure to disseminate the protection order for Maria. The enabling legislation was huge, letting any & all courts, tribal, Federal & specific, put orders into NCIC.
That said, the lowest individuals I ever knew were Marines who victimized their comrades. This should never have happened.
Maria & her child should still be with us.
Godspeed & fair winds, Marine.Hans York (1964-1971)
Cathlamet, WA -
We as Marines always think of each ather as family and when one us fall we as Marines band together whether at peace time or at war but your Name will
go on , As we drill in are Marines ,,,,, We the phue The Proud Guard the Gates
So nonlisted may enter the Gates of HevenSamper Fi Marine
its just not fair
I never knew you Maria and never met anyone who knew you but from day one when first hearing your story of you being missing I always was hoping you would be found ok but had a bad gut feeling something just wasn't right then they found you in a worse way to find anyone and my heart dropped.I just wanted to reach out to your family and friends and hug them and let them cry on my sholder but there was no way of doing that but always did I pray for them all and pray that justice would be found and that awful crule man would pay for what he did.I mean he took you away from your family making them feel so much pain.This man has punished your family for no reason at all.You had a short life and that's not fair at all.I know you are in a better place and I'm sure God has already given you your wings because you desreve them.It is a crule world and so many bad people in this world and it doesn't seem they get punshed enough for it. I have notice some people do alittle wrong or they do soemthign that was a mistake and they get punshed alot worse but then someone like this guy who did what he did to you doesn't get enough punshment and that's not right.Either way I do believe on judgement day he will pay for what he did.Maria, always make sure you send your family a sign letting them know you are there with them and you are watching over them.Your family and friends will never forget you Maria so you don't ahve to worry about that.I know they think about you every second that goes by.Apart of them knows you are still there with them. Spread your wings and fly Maria because you are a beautiful angel. God bless you .
Christmas time is here and again I'm sure it isn't the same for your family without you here. We still miss you more and more each passing day. Hope you have a good Christmas in Heaven with Gabriel. I love you Maria.
You were taken from us by him. I miss you a lot Maria. And your family misses you beyond belief. Annie just celebrated a birthday a little over a week ago and not by any means are we celebrating but just taking a moment to remember this horrible day a year ago. Then Jan. 11th is when you were discovered. I just pray that he doesn't get to go free in Mexico. They are taking there sweet ass time getting him here and having the trial and I just hope everything goes over smooth and he still makes it here and doesn't get to go free in Mexico. I just wanted to let you know that yet again, I am still thinking about you, moreso on this horrible day. I hope you and baby Gabe are doing great. He would be sooo big. :'0( RIP beautiful angels and I hope to see you soon.
to maria's family and friends-
may the lord bless u with peace and our country finally give you some justice. i am sorry for your loss and pray that healing will come more swiftly for you now that 'he' has been caught. be at peace and know that your daughter and grandchild are heaven, safe, and no longer have any reason to fear. -
Too young too soon !

Just weeks after launching Layar-an app that brings the printed page to life-the Chilliwack Times has changed the way thousands of people read their newspaper.
And if you haven't tried it yet, it's easy to do. All it takes is Layar, a free app that has erased the line between print and digital media through the use of augmented reality.
What does this mean? Well, let's say you are reading a story in the Times about a Chilliwack rock band, and you see the Layar logo at the top of the story or above a photo. By using Layar, that story will come to life. You see, not only can you read about the band, you can watch them perform or hear them play a song. Layar can also give you directions to their next gig and even help you buy tickets to their show.
This technology has forever changed the Times, editor Ken Goudswaard said.
"Layar is truly a gamechanger-it has added so much more dimension to our stories," Goudswaard said. "After only a few weeks of using Layar, a newspaper that doesn't use Layar already seems out of date and out of touch with today's techsavvy readers."
So, exactly how does it work? Layar uses your iPhone, iPad or Android smartphone or tablet to recognize images in the Times that have been enabled for augmented reality. It translates these images into buttons and notifications on your device's screen, allowing you to instantly view related videos, share articles on social networks, click on websites mentioned in stories and much more.
And it's easy to use. All you have to do is start the app, point your phone's camera at the page, tap the "scan" button and Layar's interactive buttons will appear on your screen. Tap any of them to be taken to video, image carousels, Facebook pages, Twitter and more.
Many of the Times' advertisers are also using Layar to reach out to their customers and improve their business's bottom line. Layar allows advertisers to entertain and inform readers in a way that's never been done before with the printed page. A Layared advertisement allows readers to share deals via email, Facebook and Twitter, buy products and services, book appointments conveniently without them needing to put down the paper and go to their computer, or take out their laptop, log on and open a program.
"If you haven't tried Layar yet, I encourage you to scan us and give it a try," Goudswaard said. "We're having a lot of fun with Layar and I know that you will too."
? To join the more than 28 million people who have downloaded Layar, visit layar.com or your app store.

Personal health record: A tool for managing your health
An electronic personal health record makes it easy to gather and manage your medical information in one accessible and secure location.
By Mayo Clinic staffIf you're like most people, you have a number of health concerns and visit multiple doctors and pharmacies. Keeping track of it all is a challenge. With a personal health record, you can gather — and manage — all that information in one easily accessible location.
What is a personal health record?
A personal health record is simply a collection of information about your health. If you have a shot record or a box of medical papers, you already have a basic personal health record. And you've probably encountered the big drawback of paper records: You rarely have them with you when you need them.
Electronic personal health record systems remedy that problem by making your personal health record accessible to you anytime via a Web-enabled device, such as your computer, phone or tablet.
Personal health records are not the same as electronic health records or electronic medical records, which are owned and operated by doctors' offices, hospitals or health insurance plans. There are a growing number of doctors' offices using these systems, but those that do often limit your access to and control of your medical record.
What information goes into a personal health record?
You decide what you put in your personal health record. In general, though, it needs to include anything that helps you and your health care providers manage your health — starting with the basics:
- Your primary care doctor's name and phone number
- Allergies, including drug allergies
- Your medications, including dosages
- Chronic health problems, such as high blood pressure
- Major surgeries, with dates
- Living will or advance directives
You can also add information about what you're doing to prevent disease, such as:
- Results of screening tests
- Cholesterol level and blood pressure
- Exercise and dietary habits
- Health goals, such as stopping smoking or losing weight
What are the benefits of a personal health record?
Having a personal health record can be a lifesaver, literally. In an emergency you can quickly give emergency personnel vital information, such as a disease you're being treated for, medications you take, drug allergies, and how to contact your family doctor.
A personal health record not only allows you to share information with your care providers but also empowers you to manage your health between visits. For example, a personal health record enables you to:
- Track and assess your health. Record and track your progress toward your health goals, such as lowering your cholesterol level.
- Make the most of doctor visits. Be ready with questions for your doctor and information you want to share, such as blood pressure readings since your last visit.
- Manage your health between visits. Upload and analyze data from home-monitoring devices such as a blood pressure cuff. And remind yourself of your doctor's instructions from your last appointment.
- Get organized. Track appointments, vaccinations, and preventive or screening services, such as mammograms.

Review 2.The Brain That Changes Itself: Stories of Personal Triumph From the Frontiers of Science (Book Review)Doidge takes the reader by the hand and carefully explains that the brain can and does change throughout life. Contrary to the original belief that after childhood the brain begins a long process of decline, he shows us that our brains have the remarkable power to grow, change, overcome disabilities, learn, recover, and alter the very culture that has the potential to deeply affect human nature.

Review 4.Wounded by Reality: Understanding and Treating Adult Onset Trauma (Book Review)The book considers the uneasy relationship that has existed between psychoanalysis and catastrophic trauma, showing through gripping clinical examples and masterful explication of psychoanalytic theory, just how uneasy that relationship is, and what clinicians and theorists can do about it.Review 5.The Puerto Rican Syndrome (Book Review)This book provides a review of a syndrome that continues to plague the Puerto Rican community, a treatise on Lacan's applicability with disadvantaged and historically oppressed groups, and a lesson in the social reality of Puerto Ricans in the United States.Review (January 2011)6.A Primer of Transference-Focused Psychotherapy for the Borderline Patient (Book Review)The psychotherapy treatment manual universe is not monolithic, and it is a pleasure to review a manual that falls within the group of treatment manuals that view the subjectivity of the therapist as a central ingredient for the soup that is psychotherapy. As one would expect, the latest offering from Otto Kernberg's group affords a significant amount of space to the topic of countertransference, and provides specific examples illustrating the therapist's use of their own emotional state in order to guide intervention with borderline patients. This primer of Transference Focused Psychotherapy (TFP) co-written with Frank Yeomans and John Clarkin further reveals that psychodynamic psychotherapy is alive and well, supported by both theory and empirical data.Review 7.In Praise of Infidel (Book Review)Ayaan Hirsi Ali's autobiography is the story of a highly intelligent, courageous young woman, contending with widely opposing traditions, at a time of enormous historical transition. It also describes a different culture of childhood and its effects.Review 8.Betrayed As Boys (Book Review)With this book, Gartner establishes himself as one of the loudest, most needed and informed voices within our psychoanalytic community helping us all to learn more about, and develop the personal sensitivity and professional knowledge and skill, to be helpful to male patients betrayed as boys who are more and more approaching our consulting rooms with the hope of getting competent professional help. Review (January 2011)9.Predatory Priests, Silenced Victims (Book Review)This remains a worthwhile compilation on an important and difficult subject and would be worth reading by any therapist working with a victim of clerical abuse or who might contemplate doing so.Review 10.Personality and Psychopathology: Critical Dialogues with David Shapiro (Book Review)The author examines core concepts regarding personality development, the prevolitional aspects of psychopathology, the limits to self-understanding, and the defensive uses of self-deception in light of current psychodynamic, evolutionary, and systems theory.Review Previous 1 2 3 ...

Seven Days Says:
"Good Eats," playful, food-inspired soft sculpture by the Montpelier artist.
Mary Jo Krolewski
Get a taste of — or rather, a look at — the sweet life this month at the Green Bean Visual Art Gallery's latest exhibition, titled "Good Eats." Local artist Mary Jo Krolewski presents a spunky series of food-inspired soft sculptures. Using colorful fabric and faux fur, she renders fruits, candy and cakes that actually do look good enough to eat. The quirky collection of treats will be on display through February 28 in Montpelier's Capitol Grounds coffee shop.
