Standing desks popular, healthy way to work

McClatchy-Tribune News Service
WALNUT CREEK, Calif. — Last year, Kerri Campbell made a decision: She would no longer sit at her desk eight hours a day. Today, the retail broker for Daymon Worldwide in Pleasanton, Calif., stands on a couple of black pads, each about an inch think. Her keyboard is on a wooden stand built by her husband, and her monitor rests at eye level on a box, a hard drive dock and a ream of paper.
It's nothing fancy, she says, but this do-it-yourself workstation has changed the way she feels at the end of the day. She has more energy, she says, and feels more fit.
"I think standing is a more healthful way to work," she says from her quiet office.
Like many people with desks that allow for standing, retail broker Campbell isn't motionless while she works. She does little knee lifts, shifts her weight around and, well, fidgets more.
Recent articles in the New York Times and other publications have been shedding light on the conclusion Mayo Clinic Dr. James Levine makes in his 2009 book "Move a Little, Lose a Lot" — sitting all day at work and all night in front of the television, not to mention your commute, can be harmful.
Not only is it a likely contributor to the nation's obesity problem, the doctor says, but it could be killing us. Physical inactivity, like sitting in one place for hours on end, cuts calorie-burning rates and puts the body into storage mode. While standing can also be static, the very act of being on your feet promotes more movement throughout the day as you shift from foot to foot or easily transition to walk around the office.
The response to Levine's bell-ringing has been swift, especially from workers who sit all day at computer stations. Dan Shafer, owner of the Los Gatos, Calif.-based ergonomics consulting and training firm VocSolutions Inc., says his phone has been "ringing off the hook" lately with people asking about turning their workstations into "sit-stand" desks.
John Mele of MB Contract Furniture of Benicia, Calif., which provides offices with desks and chairs, says there's a growing interest in the variety of adjustable desks he sells.
"The response we get is people usually love them," Mele says. "They are a big part of our industry, and I think it's going to be growing."
Standing for work is nothing new. Standing desks were used by the wealthy in the 18th and 19th centuries and, historically, legal scholar and former Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. wrote many of his Supreme Court decisions while standing. Standing Desk Headquarters, an online clearinghouse for all things related to the desks, claims they were also used by Thomas Jefferson, Winston Churchill and Leonardo da Vinci.
While we may never know why Leonardo da Vinci preferred to stand while working, modern-day workers have turned to standing desks traditionally to alleviate pain from long hours of sitting or injury.
"Sitting is actually hard on your back," says Steve Meagher, a physical therapist, ergonomist and owner of Site Solutions of Orinda. "The idea is if you're standing, you're decreasing stress on your back because you are lining the spine up."
Standing at work has helped Dagmar Slovak with her neck problems. Slovak, an administrator for Orinda, Calif., Community Church, recently purchased a standing desk from Amazon and alternates between sitting and standing during the work day. Her neck hurts less, and there's an added benefit — more energy.
"Before, after a long day in the office, I just wanted to get home and rest on the couch," she says. "Now I actually go to the gym or walk around the reservoir with my friends. I tell people how energized I am, and I really think it has to do with not sitting all day long."
Mary Gagnon of Danville, Calif., goes several steps further with her standing desk — literally — by walking on a treadmill while she clicks on Web pages and types business email.
Gagnon learned about treadmill desks when one of her employees requested a desk for health reasons. Gagnon works long hours and hates going to the gym. Buying her own treadmill desk was the perfect way to exercise without really thinking about it, she says. She ordered her desk, which start at around $1,600, about a year ago.
"I really like it — I feel like I am multitasking," she says. "Now if I just sit all day I feel lazy."
Although he's receiving many new inquires about standing desks, occupational therapist Shafer of VocSolutions says the biggest reason more people don't already have desks that allow people to do work both sitting and standing is cost. A basic desk for standing starts at about $250, but an adjustable one that promotes the more healthful activity of both sitting and standing has springs, cranks or electrical components that can bump up the price into the thousands of dollars.
"If they were inexpensive," Shafer says, "I think everyone would have them."
It's not a difficult concept to raise a computer monitor or keyboard a few inches or feet to allow for standing, but typically people who make do-it-yourself standing desks don't raise their monitors high enough, Shafer says, and end up hunching down, creating another set of problems. The right standing desk allows for your arms to be at 90 degrees while typing. A computer monitor should be at eye level.
"It's a laudable effort to try to build your own standing desk, but you have to make sure you are doing it right if you are going to do it at all," Shafer says.
And people who switch to standing desks can't just stand statically. They have to move around or risk extreme muscle fatigue.
"The best of all worlds is to adjust your postures frequently and move between sitting and standing with regularity," Shafer adds. But for those who can't incorporate a standing desk into their work lives, just moving more during the day can help improve health, he says.
"Movement is critical," Shafer says. "There's a big barrier to getting a $1,200 table in someone's office, but doing things like taking a walk during your lunch break or pacing while on the phone, anyone can do."
Here are some ways to incorporate movement into your workday from occupational therapist Dan Shafer of VocSolutions, Inc.:
n Drink many glasses of water a day. Not only is water good for you, but the trips to the bathroom get you moving.
n Position your printer away from your desk so you have to get up to retrieve your work.
n Stand while talking on the phone if you can.
n Stand to greet people who come to your desk or office and try to have conversations with co-workers while standing.
n Park far away from the front door of your building.

Waldo Canyon Fire Anniversary
COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- Many people thank firefighters after the Waldo Canyon Fire, and rightly so. But some don't realize the extent to which Colorado Springs police were involved in keeping our community safe.
Sgt. Dale Fox, along with many other CSPD officers stayed in Mountain Shadows after evacuees left, watching the fire come at him. But he did the unnatural thing by going closer.
He described feeling "stung" by embers falling around him, hitting his skin. Even one year later, Sgt. Fox doesn't think of himself as a hero. He wasn't able to sleep that Tuesday night, after seeing frightened faces of many homeowners, and watching flames follow him out of the neighborhood. But still, he says there wasn't time to think about the dangers, or realize they should be fearful. All the officers did was their jobs, risking it all to check and double check homes, carry elderly residents out of their houses, even ramming powerless garage doors with their patrol cars to get families in their cars and out of harm's way.
Click the video above to hear his personal account in an interview with FOX21.

Western Doesn't Have to Be "Country"
Levi's denim jeans are older than Oklahoma, but as up-to date as any current fashion trend. Besides being the most popular fabric and clothing item in the world, they are a true American original. Designed and patented by 1873 as tough "waist overalls" for the working class, these blue jeans with the unique riveted pockets caught on big time with youth and the leisure class by 1960.
Crafted in San Francisco as a practical solution to the wear and tear of tough working conditions in the mines, factories and ranches out west, these close-fitting, indigo dungarees are a staple of the world's wardrobe.
Throughout their evolution, blues jeans have been embellished with the romance of a rugged exterior, with a comfortable soft side. Blue jeans and cowboys; blue jeans and rock'n'roll; blue jeans and James Dean; blue jeans and Brook Shields.
The success of Levi's produced marketing knock-offs such as highly popular Wranglers and Lee Jeans. In fact, zippered flies were first introduced in 1926 by Lee Jeans for the functional purpose of being easier to unzip with a work-gloved hand. They were appropriately named, "Cowboy Pants." Blue jeans have most certainly been a staple in Western attire ever since.
To wrest blue jeans from the image of rock'n'roll rebel, nothing says "Western" like a hat and some boots. Again, these accessories were initially designed to be entirely utilitarian. According to the story, cattle herders took sombreros and modified them into what we know today to be cowboy hats. The popular version we know was fashioned by John B. Stetson to protect against driving rain and snow.
Cowboy boots, also, were designed to be practical.
Jennifer June, in her book Cowboy Boots: The Art and Sole, writes "From 1865 to 1890, cowboys drove cattle from Texas to Kansas. They wore Wellingtons and variations. ... "The tall tops of the boots protected your legs; the underslung heels kept your feet in the stirrups. The cowboy boot's original design elements were suited to the horseback rider, including the rounded or pointed toe that makes it easy to insert the foot into a stirrup and the slick sole that allows the boot to slip free when dismounting.
"Early cowboy boots were work boots and were suitably utilitarian in appearance. Hollywood jazzed them up," June said.
Indeed motion picture cowboys like our own Will Rogers and yodeling cowpoke Gene Autry glamorized denim, Western boots and hats. Attire that was once purely functional found its way to fashionable, to the honky-tonk -- and eventually to the streets -- and has given birth to the urban cowboy.
The urban cowgirl is not to be left out. While jeans and boots are certainly popular with women, many females have stayed true to the style of women on the prairie and opt for knee-length skirts and gingham prints. In fact, sharpshooter Annie Oakley, the ultimate original cowgirl and first female American celebrity, performed her shooting exhibitions with stylized Western attire. Though far from a style icon, it was her show dress that make have sparked the beginning of fashionable Western wear for the girls.
Tulsa-based Designer Valentin Esparza is adamant about picking and choosing where you wear your Western. "I would recommend wearing one elaborate, beautiful piece with a knitted top, some nice jean shorts and cowboy boots. I hate seeing women wearing outfits that look like they came out of a Western movie. I love overly elaborate turquoise accessories and fringe bags; they make any outfit stand out."
Local stylist, and one of our all-around fashion authorities, Shannon Schroeder offers some great tips for imparting a bit of glam by adding some unexpected combinations. "Anytime I need inspiration for a little Western flare, I turn to one of my favorite designers, Ralph Lauren. Even in his most glamorous of ensembles, he always puts a little Western flare to it. My favorite examples are the juxtaposition of the popular chambray shirt with a sequin skirt or satin dress pants. Something more casual you could do a white flowy dress with a brown belt (sans cowboy boots). For accessories you can easily add a touch of turquoise in a ring or earrings or you could do a fabulous statement necklace, like from the designer Masha Archer available at Saks," said Shannon.
Local vintage shops are a great resource if you're looking for pieces that are truly unique. Silver Screen Vintage, a local vintage boutique owned by Sheila Alley, features an entire Western wear section. "Pearl snaps are particularly popular with both my male and female customers," Alley said. "Many of them wear them every day. It's extremely popular for women to wear vintage cowgirl boots with sundresses. I also love boots with shorts in the summertime. It's a very feminine look."
Kristen Casey of Cheap Thrills Vintage points out that Western wear is pretty timeless. "In the vintage business there are always those who want and collect Americana classics like Western and denim. Contemporary trends come and go but you can't go wrong with a classic piece. The trend I see even more now is the whole mid '80s southwestern trend. I've been selling the Southwest cardigans which lends itself to a sort of hippie/Western. I consistently sell pearl snaps all year round, mostly from the '70s and '80s. I can't keep denim cut-offs in stock. They are always popular and sell as fast as I can get them in."
Life is different than it once was on the prairie, but there's no reason we can't pay tribute to our roots and not still look very current. Whether horseback or riding a Vespa, with the right Western wear pieces, you'll be sitting pretty.

The town of Carlyle, along with Regens Disposal Ltd., where honoured recently with the Saskatchewan Waste Reduction Council's partnership award for their combined efforts in reducing landfill material with the curb-side recycling program adopted by the community almost two years ago.
The Saskatchewan Waste Reduction Council (SWRC) is a not-for-profit, non-governmental organization which holds as its mandate the reduction of waste within the province.
By supporting partnerships, recognizing innovations, and sharing information with communities, businesses, and individuals, the SWRC also provides government information in an attempt to ensure that policies are adopted that will reduce the overall solid waste produced throughout Saskatchewan.
Carlyle had been informed of its victory in the partnership category two weeks previous to the award presentation, which took place in Regina on Thursday, April 19.
Attending on behalf of the town was Carlyle's mayor, Don Shirley.
"I'm really proud of the community winning this award,ö Shirley said. "I think it's a great way to recognize the work the town has done in improving our services, and the efforts of our residents to make use of the recycling services that are now available."
When Carlyle's curb-side recycling program had been first introduced, it was the smallest community in the province to offer such a service to its residents.
Now several other communities have adopted a similar system for recycling collection, offered through Regens Disposal Ltd.
"Regens was been great to work with," Shirley said. ôWe spent a lot of time with them working on a program which would be sustainable, and offer the greatest service for our residents."
"As a partnership award, I think it's fair to say we couldn't have won this recognition without them," Shirley joked.
With Regens providing the town with solid waste removal as well as the recycling services, it has been easy to track the reduction in household waste over the past two years.
Regens provides statistics to the town on a regular basis, on how many bins of garbage and recyclables are collected every trip, and what the average kilo weight is for each bin.
For example, in March of 2010, 365 carts of solid waste were collected in the town, with an average weight of 17.85 kgs per cart.
The following year, March saw 352 carts collected, with the average weight of 16.92 kgs per cart.
This works out to a reduction of almost one kilogram per household.
While the curb-side recycling program wasn't instituted until June of 2010, recent statistics for curb-side recycled materials has also shown an increase.
As an example, in November of 2010, 259 carts of fibre (paper products) averaged 8.61 kgs of material, and 150 carts of plastic and metals averaged 3.05 kgs per cart, in November of this past year 266 carts of fibre were collected at an average of 9.09 kgs per cart, and 201 carts of plastic and tin were collected at 3.63 kgs per cart, an overall increase of around one kilogram per household.
In a letter dated Jan. 20 of this year, Logan Baniulis, who runs the recycling services for Regens Disposal, wrote to Carlyle town council, "On behalf of Regens Disposal I would like to thank Council for the opportunity to become and active member of the Carlyle community."
"Regens Disposal remains committed to providing our customers with innovative waste & recycling solutions while maintaining a high level of Service Excellence," the letter further reads.
"In closing, the Regens Disposal Team looks forward to continuing to nurture the growing relationship with the Town of Carlyle and to provide the residents a consistent, effective, and clean waste and recycling experience," the letter concludes.
Warm words perhaps, but speaking with Baniulis following the awards presentation, the same positive tones are echoed.
"I'm happy for the residents of Carlyle more than my team,"Baniulis said. "The town of Carlyle recognized it was working for the residents of the town, and they were always aware that everything they were doing was paid for by the people of the town."
"I think Carlyle should be very proud of this award," Baniulis continued. "They've been pioneers, not just for the Southeast, but for all of rural Saskatchewan."
"They've showed that a modern recycling program is not just a service for the big cities."
Baniulis also offered support for residents directly.
"We've always encouraged councillors and administrators to forward calls and questions directly on to us," Baniulis said. "We're happy to help people understand the services we offer, and we're always happy to hear from residents."
"That is how our services get better."
For people interested in further recycling information, the SWRC website holds a considerable amount of information on waste reduction and recycling, and can be found at "http://www.saskwastereduction.ca" www.saskwastereduction.ca

We love our city and we especially love to show it off. This afternoon backwords, a psych rock outfit from Brooklyn, stopped by to hang out, take a tour of The Stax Museum of American Soul Music with John Fry and then jump in the studio and play some stripped down versions of songs off their new record By the Neck. We think they enjoyed themselves, and we really enjoyed playing tour guide for the day!
The band is fresh off a 7 show run during SXSW, including a couple of shows they put on via their very own label, Camper's Rule Records. And we though we worked hard? Who can keep up with these guys?
So take a listen to the show! We chat about Stax, the recording process and of course, the age old question: Is it still worth going to SXSW? Then we'll see you TONIGHT when they play 1884 Lounge in Minglewood Hall with Harlan. Show starts promptly at 10PM!

Q: I never watch Dancing With the Stars, but last night as I walked by the TV, I saw an interesting shirt being worn on the show. I was wondering what kind it is. I believe it's got a henley collar, but it looks like a dress shirt otherwise. What is it? and what are the MB's thoughts on it?--Scott A: Scott, your experience shows why it's a good idea to simply turn off your TV at least fifteen minutes before Dancing With the Stars starts airing. It couldn't hurt to actually pull your TV's plug from the outlet too. Can you see where we're going with this? In 2007, we noted Banana Republic's efforts to push receding collars on the world, and predicted this trend's dreaded end-point: the dress henley. We were joking, because the idea of a dress shirt with no collar at all -- a completely bald dress shirt -- is not just aesthetically bad but also an affront to logic. How can a dress shirt be a dress shirt if it lacks the infrastructure to support a tie? Never underestimate the power of an awful idea. Three years later, we've got dress henleys. The signature shirt of soap opera stars who cry when getting eliminated from reality dancing shows. Avoid.

UN warns of rising sectarian killings in Syria as gunmen attack pro-Assad TV channel
BBC Arabic, UK
Presenter, Male #1
The Syrian Revolution General Commission said 17 people were killed in various regions of Syria, most of them in Idlib and the countryside of Damascus. Shelling continued in parts of Idlib, Homs, Deir az-Zour, Daraa, Hama, and the countryside of Damascus. Activists said the towns of Khan as-Subul, Sarja, and Abu Samis have been shelled since dawn, leading to casualties.
Reporter, Male #2
Emad Sara, director of the news channel Al-Ekhbariya, denounced the attack on the channel this morning. He said the opposition has no desire to convey the opinions of others.
Guest, Male #2 (Emad Sara, Director of News Channel Al-Ekhbariya)
Three of our journalists were martyred, and of course, their only crime was conveying words; words that you all know well, words of truth, words that express the other point of view. They conveyed the message of their freedoms in their own way. As such, they were targeted.
Presenter, Male #1
Human rights investigators in the United Nations released a report today that says the violence in Syria is spiraling out of control. According to the report, the Syrian government is using combat helicopters and artillery to shell residential neighborhoods. It points to the increasing number of sectarian attacks. The report adds that a number of Syrian regions have descended into civil war since the UN-backed ceasefire this past April. However, Karim Abu Zaid, one of the UN investigators who prepared the report, insisted that there is still ambiguity around the Houla Massacre.
Reporter, Male #3
The threat of a civil war between numerous opponents is looming over all of Syria. UN investigators submitted a report to the Human Rights Council, warning that vast parts of the country are on the brink of war.
Guest, Female #1 (Navi Pillay, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights)
We are gravely concerned by the latest reports of an upsurge in violence, and the growing military operations by government forces and armed opposition groups. Innocent civilians are caught in the line of fire. The international observers are subject to serious dangers as well.
Reporter, Male #3
The UN Human Rights Council listened to the testimonies of the investigators, whose delegation visited Syria, documented the events there with images and videos, and conducted live interviews. The Houla Massacre, where an entire family was killed, and the world's horrified reaction to it, were important parts of the report.
Guest, Male #4 (Paulo Sergio Pinheiro)
The manner in which these killings took place resembles those previously and repeatedly documented to have been committed by the government. While the commission cannot rule out the possibility that the opposition fighters are responsible for the killings, it does not believe that is likely.
Reporter, Male #3
Representatives of Western countries and some Arab countries held the Syrian government responsible for the continuing violence. Qatar called for referring the issue to the Security Council, in order to issue a resolution under Chapter 7 of the UN Charter. As for Washington, it adhered to condemning President Bashar al-Assad's regime.
Guest, Female #2 (Eileen Chamberlain Donahoe, US Representative to the UN)
The Assad regime is waging a brutal campaign against the Syrian people, characterized by aerial bombardment, mass killings, rape, and other atrocities.
Reporter, Male #3
The report criticized Syria's armed opposition, and accused it of committing violations, and using children in missions that expose them to the dangers of fighting. However, the basis of the report was completely rejected by the Syrian government and its allies. The Venezuelan representative believed that certain parties which he described as imperialist are seeking to sabotage the Kofi Annan plan, and push the situation toward a Libya-style military intervention. Meanwhile, the Syrian representative reiterated his president's statement that Syria is engaged in a real war.
Guest, Male #5 (Faisal Hamoui, Syrian Representative to the UN)
My country's delegation will not take part in this session, in protest of the bias and politicization of the situation.
Reporter, Male #3
While waiting for reaching a political settlement that all relevant parties in the Syrian issue can agree upon, the Human Rights Council's discussion remains impeded by international disagreement on how to approach the crisis. The Syrian dissidents and anti-regime protestors consider this disagreement a mere excuse for the international community's failure in dealing with the matter. Wael Hajjar, BBC.
Eleven killed in bomb attacks on anti-Qaeda Sahwa group
Al Jazeera, Qatar
Presenter, Male #1
Iraqi security and medical sources reported that 11 people were killed and at least 13 were wounded in separate attacks on Baghdad this morning.
Presenter, Female #1
The sources said that two explosive devices were detonated in the al-Mada'in area south of Baghdad, while a third bomb exploded in al-Ghazaliya in the western part of the capital.
Reporter, Male #2
Jassim, in his mid-thirties, is selling his goods by the roadside in central Baghdad. Once a fighter in the al-Sahwa council, he became a fuel seller after the balance of justice was lost, and the protective umbrella for his safety and source of livelihood disappeared, as he said.
Guest, Male #3 (Jassim, Former al-Sahwa Member)
We ended up running a stand on the street, what do you expect us to do? The government is not helping us. I have had no salary since I quit al-Sahwa.
Reporter, Male #2
The pictures of dead al-Sahwa members were hung in the streets in their memory, while there is a perpetual fear that the remaining fighters will be targeted. The al-Sahwa militia in Iraq is caught in between a rock and hard place. Al-Qaeda and other parties still target its members. Their eyes are filled with fear, and their psychological and financial condition is sorrowful.
Reporter, Male #2
At the end of 2006, Iraq's tribal members were enlisted in what is known as al-Sahwa councils with the US and Iraqi forces to fight al-Qaeda, which has been largely weakened compared to the past. Many al-Sahwa members were killed, causing much controversy over the militia's approach and the motives of its establishment.
Reporter, Male #2
The Iraqi government attempted to integrate former al-Sahwa members into the state's institutions; however, the move was met with many reservations, even from the al-Sahwa leaders themselves. They described some of their jobs as "inappropriate."
Guest, Male #4 (Amir al-Azzawi, al-Sahwa Leader in al-Adhamiya)
I say to you, it is unreasonable that those who carried rifles, stayed up late at night to maintain security and stability, and fought crimes, are now turning into street-cleaners.
Reporter, Male #2
In turn, the Iraqi government believes that the education level of the al-Sahwa members determines their type of work, while placing the blame on parliament.
Guest, Male #5 (Amer al-Khizaii, Minister of State for National Reconciliation)
Our brothers in parliament withheld 69 billion dinars. We don't have much to allocate in a way that does not affect the disbursement of salaries. One third of the budget is being spent under suspicious conditions, and is sometimes politicized.
Reporter, Male #2
It is said that al-Sahwa fighters are still targeted by a number of parties, most notably al-Qaeda. Meanwhile, the al-Sahwa members continue to bury their dead. Nasser Shadid, Al Jazeera, Baghdad.
Iraq's Prime Minister al-Maliki calls for early elections
Press TV, Iran
Prime Minister of Iraq Nouri al-Maliki has called for early elections, accusing political rivals of purposefully rejecting dialogue and trying to cause a political crisis. Al-Maliki's challengers, who are members of the Iraqiya Bloc, have openly attempted to unseat him with a no-confidence vote earlier this year.
Bahraini activist Rajab vows to continue protests against regime
Press TV, Iran
Newly-released Bahraini activist Nabeel Rajab says he is determined to continue his protest against the Bahraini government until the goals of the revolution are achieved. He was detained last June for the use of social media to incite anti-government protests.
Sudanese opposition fails to sign post-Bashir political charter
Dubai TV, UAE
Presenter, Male #1
The campaign waged by the Sudanese government against its anti-government protestors has pushed the US State Department to issue a statement condemning the Sudanese government's arrest and beating of protestors. It considered these procedures inconsistent.
Presenter, Male #1
However, international condemnation did not prevent Khartoum's government from waging a new arrest campaign targeting Sudanese opposition parties, especially since they started a new movement under the banner of "toppling the regime." But the meeting that was held last night to sign two proposed charters to manage the country during the transitional period following the regime's collapse, was postponed until next week after they failed to reach an agreement. From Khatoum, our reporter Sami al-Shinawi.
Reporter, Male #1
Sudan is bracing for a hot summer, as the Sudanese opposition heightens its tone against al-Khartoum and threatens to topple al-Bashir's regime. However, the two proposals for the country's transition following the downfall of the regime are yet to be finalized. Despite its claim of unity, the opposition failed to sign the democratic change document and the constitutional declaration. It postponed the meeting until next week, for further discussion of the provisions of the drafting process.
Guest, Male #3 (Dr. Hasan al-Turabi, Sudanese Opposition Leader)
The parties are meeting in order to prevent any chaos that may erupt after the departure of the hated regime. You know what could happen in the country. We want to maintain order, and came here to try to reach an agreement.
Reporter, Male #2
Some described the move as "preemptive," which may stir fears among the demonstrators that parties previously affiliated with the regime may rise to power. The ruling party immediately described the opposition's demands for democratic change as "wishful thinking." It is a matter that widened the gap between the two sides, prompting the ruling party to launch a widescale arrest campaign targeting opposition groups.
Guest Male #4
It is a slogan that we kept hearing for 24 years; we kept saying it will end in a week, a month, two months, but it kept on. We are still hearing this slogan, and the people don't think much of it.
Reporter, Male #2
During the past two months, the political opposition parties, through designated committees, held a series of meetings to draft a constitutional declaration, which stipulated a peaceful transition of power, and the formation of an interim government that will run the country in case the current regime collapses.
Reporter, Male #2
Meanwhile, observers are downplaying the importance of the opposition's next steps, due to the widening gap between the angry Sudanese street over the austerity measures that do not meet their demands, and the opposition, which is seeking regime change. Sami al-Shinawi, Dubai TV, al-Khartoum.
International Coalition for Human Rights calls for end to torture in Moroccan prisons
Al-Alam, Iran
Presenter, Male #1
The Moroccan Coalition for Human Rights and the Committee against Torture demanded that authorities open their prisons to rights organizations, and investigate complaints presented by prisoners who were subject to torture. This comes after these two organizations presented reports that confirmed the continuation of torture in police stations, prisons, and secret detention facilities.
Reporter, Male #2
Although the new constitution forbids torture, and the Interior Minister assured parliament that the government would not allow the practice of torture or abuse at police stations, the reports presented by the Moroccan Coalition for Human Rights and the Committee against Torture at a meeting in Rabat, confirm that torture is still practiced at police stations, secret detention facilities, and prisons.
Guest Male #3 (Abdel Megeid Hussein, Member of the Moroccan Coalition for Human Rights)
We denounce and reject torture in any form. We demand an investigation into all allegations and claims of torture.
Reporter, Male #2
Contrary to previous reports, the committee was keen to present actual reports about prisoners who were subject to torture. Among them are civilians who participated in peaceful protests.
Guest, Female #1
Anyone demanding their rights is thrown in prison and is subject to human rights violations, and their voice is silenced.
Reporter, Male #2
In addition to the government, the Committee against Torture condemned the judiciary's refusal to look into all of the demands regarding torture cases, asserting that the judiciary still plays a negative role in whitewashing human rights violations.
Guest, Male #4 (Mohamed al-Zahari, Moroccan League to Defend Human Rights)
In the history of Morocco, there has never been any judicial ruling against any individual or security official who took part in the torture of citizens.
Reporter, Male #2
Despite the government's assurance that it respects human rights and criminalizes the penal code of torture, rights organizations demand that the Minister of Justice ratify the supplementary Optional Protocol to the International Convention against Torture, which stipulates the formation of a civilian committee to investigate torture cases apart from official bodies. They also demand opening the prison doors to the Committee against Torture, which has not been able to enter the prisons despite its establishment three years ago.
Lebanese government fails to deal with security crisis
Future TV, Lebanon
Presenter, Male #1
In the Lebanese capital yesterday, a number of roads were blocked and cars were attacked, turning Beirut's night into one that resembles those of futile wars. Charbel Aboud reports.
Reporter, Male #2
Its largest impact is psychological, but it also affects the country's history, security and economy. The Lebanese people in Beirut went to sleep with the black smoke of burning tires, which was followed by gunfire and an attack on New TV.
Reporter, Male #2
Today, the government is preparing for a "security month" it says will cover all Lebanese regions, including Beirut's southern suburb of Dahiyeh. The step is the result of security incidents that moved from region to region in Beirut, and included burning tires and garbage bins that rolled from one site to another, and gunfire that terrorized those safe in their homes. On the evening of the initiation of "security month," the people's views varied between those who welcomed the initiative and those who have already lost all hope.
Guest, Male #3
It's been a failure for 30 years.
Guest, Male #4
The state is nothing without security; that's the most important thing. All I ask from the state is to impose security; I don't want anything else.
Guest, Male #5
I wish the state would capture everyone that is destabilizing the security, and get them out of the street.
Guest, Male #6
It's complete rubbish; the situation is unbearable.
Guest, Female #1
The state is supposed to provide security and stability.
Guest, Female #2
I think the whole state should be changed, no?
Reporter, Male #2
This time the attack targeted New TV, then spread to different neighborhoods of the capital, as roads were blocked and residents terrorized. The hope is for the security forces to determine their tactics, and for the government to take action before these attacks become a way of life, with black smoke coloring the days of Lebanon.
Reporter, Male #2
Along with its failure to solve the economic crises, the government also failed to deal with the security issue. So the question today is who will protect the Lebanese living under a government that has failed to even secure the basic conditions for security and stability? Charbel Aboud, Future TV.
Iran VP delivers stinging anti-Semitic speech at UN conference in Tehran
IBA, Israel
Iranian Vice President Mohamad-Reza Rahimi delivered a speech at a United Nations international anti-drug conference in Tehran, Rahimi said that Zionists were responsible for the illegal drug trade across the globe, claiming that a central Jewish text, the Talmud, encourages Jews to believe they are the world's superior race. The speech shocked and angered diplomats who attended the conference.
Israel's budget deficit to grow by 15 billion shekels
IBA, Israel
Israel's state budget deficit will grow by 15 billion shekels, but taxes will not go up, according to a plan presented by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz, who raised the 2013 budget deficit goal to three percent. The government will still have to cut 6.5 billion shekels from the budget, although Netanyahu has refused to rescind his promise of free preschool education from the age of three.

Box Was Very Damaged
By Cas
from PA
I ordered this doll for my daughter as a gift. I used the ShopRunner service for delivery. It was shipped out in a flimsy envelope. When I opened it the box was smashed and torn. The doll I guess is fine, not sure as it's a Christmast gift and she hasn't received it yet. But the packing and delivery were horrible. No care was placed in shipping this product. Will not order again.

Great Doll
By MinnesotaMom220
from Duluth, MN
I bought this doll for my daughter's 10th birthday. She hasn't opened it yet, but she specifically asked for a Louis doll, so I know she'll love it. It's a great doll because it really does look like Louis. Some of these celebrity dolls are hideous, but not this one. It really does look like him. Great price too!

If you are reading this, you have survived the end of the world. Again.
For many years, people have been unsuccessfully predicting the end of the world and people have been believing them.
One of the more recent examples of dooms day prophesy is Harold Camping. First, he declared in his book "1994" that the world would end in September that year. When that date came and went, he changed his prediction to March 1995. After his May 21, 2011, prophecy failed to materialize, he reprophesied that the world would end Oct. 21, 2011.
Around 1831, William Miller, a Baptist lay preacher, began to tell the world that its end would come sometime between March 21, 1843, and March 21, 1844. When all of those days came and went, a new date of Oct. 22, 1844, was set. That date also passed. The estimated 50,000 Adventists, as they called themselves, experienced what came to be known as "the great disappointment."
The remnants of that Adventist group became the Seventh Day Adventists. Another group of "reformers" broke off to become the Davidian Seventh Day Adventists and, finally, the Branch Davidians led by David Koresh (formerly known as Vernon Howell). The development of Koresh's group was the direct result of the failure of a prophesy by a church leader that Christ would return on Easter 1959. Their world came to an end on April 19, 1993, when the FBI stormed their compound in Waco, Texas.
These "prophesies" of end times cause people to quit their jobs, leave their families, fail to plant their crops, die in shootouts, march off to crusades in the name of God and engage in international conspiracies that threaten global stability. Repeatedly they prove false, yet their proponents manage to find new followers. People want to believe.
The same can be said about all kinds of predictions that multiply this time of year. We hear predictions about the economy, politics, weather, even social and artistic trends. You name it, there seems to be a prediction about it. But how many of these predictions come true?
Many, if not most, of these prophesies demand that we suspend rational thinking, and we are somehow willing to do so. Why?
I can only guess that it is because we are afraid of the unknown. Nature does not like a vacuum and neither does our mind.
When Kenneth Arrow, a Nobel Prize winning economist, demonstrated to the military that its long-term weather forecasts were useless, the military's response was, "The commanding general is well aware the forecasts are no good. However, he needs them for planning."
We cannot stand not knowing.
But the fact is we never know what is going to happen. We know even less about what all those happenings will mean or how they will interact with each other. Predictions are no more than entertainment, sometimes right, but usually wrong.

Tonya has been reporting stories happening in the Pee Dee for more than 10 years.
Officials with the Darlington County Emergency Management say a storm caused some damage near Railroad Avenue in the City of Hartsville, just after 3:30 Monday afternoon.
Five homes have been damaged and city officials had to find temporary shelter for two of the families, according to Hartsville Police Chief James Hudson.
There are some power outages at homes on Milliken Avenue and Evans Street.
Progress Energy crews working to restore power.
Officials say several oak trees fell, streets are flooded and one home on Evans Street is damaged after a tree collapsed on top of it.
No one was hurt.
We're told city crews are working to remove the trees, and police are asking residents to take alternate routes around the flooded streets.
NewsChannel 15 was told by parishioners the Steeple at Twitty United Methodist Church also shifted during storm.


text: The circle is now complete. When I left you, I was but the learner. Now I am the master." Darth Vader, Star Wars: A New Hope Since they've both procreated, I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that neither Arlen nor Cory Ness are big enough Star Wars geeks to have duked it out with toy light sabers in costume. Cory's clean purple rigid here represents a return to the Ness family roots, though. It's a digger with his distinct take on that historic style. Hop in the Way Back Machine with me for a minute and you'll understand. In the late '60s and early '70s, Arlen and Jim Davis collaborated on a new style of custom chassis rooted in Jim's motorcycle drag racing background. It was a longer, spindly skeleton with thin (7/8-inch) chromoly tubing for bones. That frame is the heart and soul of the digger style. This was among the first things Arlen did with the frames. Keep in mind that this was back when sometimes Arlen laid a stock frame on the ground on its side like in a crime scene and used chalk to trace and plan bringing out the neck. Digger bikes were also very narrow in comparison to most stock cruisers. Some had rocket or diamond gas tanks, too. Arlen won many an award with the digger style but eventually customer tastes gravitated towards frames made from fat tubing and the digger style went into hibernation. Until recently. The fall of the modern chopper craze, coupled with the economic downturn we've all come to know and love, steered consumers away from creating ground-up customs and towards customizing stock rides. Against this backdrop, the Nesses created a few modern diggers. According to Cory, "Small tubing was where our heart was so we did a couple of diggers and got many good responses. We liked it and got a lot of good feedback." That led the Nesses toward making digger frames available for purchase for relatively cheap. Cory and Jim Jennings created the one-off handlebars that are incorporated into the top of the neck and frontend. Cory and Jim Jennings created the one-off handlebars that are incorporated into the top of An archive picture of Arlen laying paint on one of his early digger frames. Both of the digger's Ness rims measure a tall 23 inches. Their spindly look is a great match to the chassis upon which this ... Bringing back the digger frame kindled the creative flame. Cory stoked the fire, though. "I hadn't made a bike for myself with a digger chassis yet and Sturgis wasn't too far around the corner," he says. It was the first ground-up project he'd created in a while. "It was a lot of fun to build and ride." With not too many ground-ups being built nowadays, a frame like this lets home builders create one without spending a ton of dough, using the digger chassis and a used, inexpensive motor such as the Evo Softail engine Cory tapped for his project. "Basket case" might be a better descriptor for the motor and transmission in this digger than "used," however. At least, that's how Cory characterized it when we talked about the project. What's great about basket cases is that they're the desperate criminals of the motor world—their old lives are over and they have the equally desperate freedom of those with nothing to lose. Restoring their old lives as stockers is just as difficult as keeping the good and tossing the bad, if not more so. That being the case, there's no reason not to take some wild new direction with a semi-dead motor when rebuilding it. For Cory, that meant using a Magnuson Supercharger. When asked why the blower, he responded, "Why not? We happened to have one sitting around for a couple of years and it made sense. For blowers, it's a nice, compact one. Even though this is a narrow bike, the blower doesn't overpower anything aesthetically. Blower bikes are so much fun! We modified the stock CV carburetor and it runs dynamite. You don't even have to hit the throttle when you fire up the bike. It usually takes a lot of time dialing in a blower but with the carb changes we made, it's a lot easier. I haven't even had to change a set of plugs." Cory and Jim Jennings also created the short-but-sweet 2-into-1 exhaust for the digger. Its compact length gives onlookers an unobstructed view of the 23-inch rear wheel. 1 | 2 | 3 | » | View Full Article By Mark Masker Enjoyed this Post?

BJCP Category: 10B American Amber
Oxford Brewing Co. <visit site>
Excellent drinkability. Chewy and rich. Chocolate aroma/flavor is high and caramel notes a bit low for an American amber ale—almost an American brown ale. more >
Aroma: Rich, caramel and nutty, chocolate malts are intense. Very low earthy hop aroma. No DMS. No diacetyl. Very low fruity fermentation esters. No specific alcohols. (8/12)
Appearance: Dark amber to light brown; on target for the style. Bright to brilliant clarity. Very nice. Dense, tan head with adequate retention. (3/3)
Flavor: Chocolate maltiness with hints of caramel, more as the beer warms. Nutty taste, like an English brown ale. Moderate hop bitterness balances very well, leaving a balanced finish as well. Low hop flavor, not citrus but earthy. No diacetyl. No DMS. No specific alcohols. Low fermentation esters; a very clean ale. (14/20)
Mouthfeel: Smooth, almost creamy with a lingering bitterness. Medium body. No astringency. No apparent alcohol warming, but likely deceptive as the beer goes down very easily. (5/5)
Overall Impression: Excellent drinkability. Chewy and rich. Chocolate aroma/flavor is high and caramel notes a bit low for an American amber ale—almost an American brown ale. Hop aroma and flavor low for style as well. Could adjust malts and hops for better representation of the style, but it's still an excellent beer, especially with beef, like a beef pie in an English pub. The organic nature of this beer didn't detract from this beer at all; a well-made beer may be organic and still be excellent. (7/10)
Quite an enjoyable beverage, with the brown sugar and toasty flavors I've encountered in the better fresh draught British brown ales. more >
Aroma: Biscuity, grainy malt up front, with moderate earthy, peppery spice hop aroma, notes of fresh baked bread and a hint of green apple. Brown sugar sweetness and nutty, roasted peanut aromas emerge as the sample warms a bit. (9/12)
Appearance: Copper with gold highlights, brilliant clarity. Fine foam of off-white bubbles forms low head that dissipates rather quickly to a film and ring around the glass. (3/3)
Flavor: Malt is biscuity at first with subdued caramel flavor and brown sugar sweetness; gives way to grainy flavor mid-palate, then ends with a distinctly roasted peanut, peanut butter nuttiness. Hop flavor is spicy pepper, like green pepper berries without the heat; moderate bitterness. Fermentation is clean. This beer is well balanced between spicy hop and nutty grainy malt, though with a lingering hop bitterness to the finish. (14/20)
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. A little creamy; no astringency, but a tangy feel on the sides of the tongue. Subdued, though present alcohol warming lingers in the finish. (5/5)
Overall Impression: Quite an enjoyable beverage, with the brown sugar and toasty flavors I've encountered in the better fresh draught British brown ales. The spicy, peppery rather than citrus hop character is different, as is the peanutty, grainy malt flavor that became more pronounced as the sample warmed a bit. Definitely an alternative to the big citrus hoppiness in some examples, this is well balanced, nudged toward the edge of style. A lovely session beer on its own, would be an equally lovely accompaniment to any meal. (7/10)
I enjoyed this beer, though it misses the mark a bit stylistically. It's a nice session beer that exemplifies the style, with more of a malt emphasis. more >
Aroma: Pleasant beery aroma with moderate toasted malt. It has an underlying graininess that may speak to a North American malt base. The hops are on the light side, which is OK for the style, though there are some strawberry and pear esters that add some complexity. (11/12)
Appearance: Deep copper color—attractive but on the dark side for the style. The clarity and head retention are both good. (3/3)
Flavor: Overall character is malt-focused, with a good dose of caramel and toast. I also get some toffee and roasted malts—not quite at the level of a brown ale but more than most ambers I have tasted. The hop bitterness is moderate and balances the malt, but hop flavors are not perceptible. The light fruit esters complement the toasted malt. (15/20)
Mouthfeel: The body and mouthfeel are moderate, but not cloying. The carbonation level is good, though there is some astringency that leaves a mouthpuckering sensation. (3/5)
Overall Impression: I enjoyed this beer, though it misses the mark a bit stylistically. It's a nice session beer that exemplifies the style, with more of a malt emphasis. It would perhaps fit better in the Irish Red category, but that could be addressed with a little more finishing hops. By the same token, I like the slight roastiness in the finish, but that also leans more to the red ale style. (6/10)
Very drinkable. Mild flavors and superb balance. Less hoppy than a typical American amber, and also has more nutty flavors than caramel. more >
Aroma: Hoppy and biscuity. Hops are somewhat earthy and spicy. Lightly estery. Grainy biscuit malt tends to dominate. Otherwise clean. Malt has a nutty, bready, "English" quality to it, somewhat like an English Brown Ale. (8/12)
Appearance: Deep copper color—very pretty. Very clear. Moderate-sized beige head, settled slowly. (3/3)
Flavor: Grainy, biscuity, nutty, bready malt flavor. Little caramel. Moderate bitterness. Balance is about even between hops and malt. Fairly dry finish. Moderate spicy, earthy hop flavor, lingers into the finish. Fairly neutral yeast character. Grain bill seems English, like a nut brown ale. (14/20)
Mouthfeel: Medium body, medium carbonation, no alcohol warmth or astringency. (5/5)
Overall Impression: Very drinkable. Mild flavors and superb balance. Less hoppy than a typical American amber, and also has more nutty flavors than caramel. Beautiful color. Bitter enough to be interesting. A good everyday drinking beer. Not a great match for the style. Tastes sort of like a hoppy English brown ale to me. Cleanly fermented, fresh and tasty. Style issues cap the score at 37, but it's a better beer than that score suggests. (7/10)

Due Process of Law (West's Encyclopedia of American Law)
A fundamental, constitutional guarantee that all legal proceedings will be fair and that one will be given notice of the proceedings and an opportunity to be heard before the government acts to take away one's life, liberty, or property. Also, a constitutional guarantee that a law shall not be unreasonable, ARBITRARY, or capricious.
The constitutional guarantee of due process of law, found in the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution, prohibits all levels of government from arbitrarily or unfairly depriving individuals of their basic constitutional rights to life, liberty, and property. The DUE PROCESS CLAUSE of the FIFTH AMENDMENT, ratified in 1791, asserts that no person shall "be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law." This amendment restricts the powers of the federal government and applies only to actions by it. The Due Process Clause of the FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT, ratified in 1868, declares,"[N]or shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law" (§ 1). This clause limits the powers of the states, rather than those of the federal government.
The Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment has also been interpreted by the U.S. Supreme...

When Your Disability Involves Your Brain
I have a soft, mushy spot in my heart for dogs, military vets and and people with mental illnesses and brain injuries. So, when I went to the AOL home page to retrieve my email and saw a photo of a young man with his arm around a dog and this headline - "Airline Staff Allegedly Abused Veteran" – I had to click.
In the story, Jim Stanek, a disabled vet who served three tours in Iraq and now has PTSD and TBI (traumatic brain injury) describes how he and his service dog Sarge were treated by United Airlines.
It is one of those flight-gone-bad stories that makes you want to escort the boards of directors at all the major airlines onto a plane, seat them in coach, close the doors, disable the bathrooms and leave them on the tarmac for eight hours with only peanuts, pretzels and water.
Stanek was trying to get back to his home in New Mexico after a fundraising event for Paws for Stripes, an organization he co-founded which provides service dogs for vets with PTSD and TBI. He got stuck in Dulles International Airport for a couple of frustrating days – flights cancelled, re-scheduled, cancelled, re-scheduled and on and on. It sounds like the kind of experience that would have driven the Dalai Lama to cursing.
