U.S. competitiveness was ranked second for 2011 for by the IMD, behind Hong Kong. The bad news is that it was first in 2010 and most years before, but it's worth contemplating the advantages that a group of international business executives and analysts still can find in the U.S. economy.

The latest international student tests confirm what we have known for some time: It is no longer prudent to pretend that we can wring better results from using the same old methods.
The latest international student tests confirm what we have known for some time: It is no longer prudent to pretend that we can wring better results from using the same old methods. We should be harnessing the transformative potential of technology at a time when global competition is demanding new skills from the workforce and learning standards around the world are being revised to focus on those new skills.
The United States must recognize that our long-term growth depends on dramatically increasing the quality of our K-12 public education system, according to Stacey Childress.

For IE4:
a. Display the "About" screen: On the Help pulldown menu, select the 'About Internet Explorer' option.
b. Drag the IE logo to force the title 'Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0' to the right: While holding down <ctrl>, drag the "e" logo from the upper right corner to now be on top of the planet earth. Don't let go of the <ctrl>. Now, move the "e" logo towards the 'Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0' text and it will scoot away towards the right. As it scoots away, it uncovers a hidden button you can press. Now, move the "e" logo somewhere near the planet but not on top of the planet.
c. Cause an earthquake (lame): Click on the uncovered button and the planet will shake as long as the "e" is not dragged on top of it.
d. Show the easter egg listing of Microsoft IE Team Members by dragging the "e" logo on top of the planet earth while it is still shaking.
e. That's all folks.
Hmm. Are easter eggs considered lame hacks? Well, was just looking for something to post in this forum. Oh well, back to contemplating on whether or not to join the Apex Oil Drilling Team...

Hey all! As you can see, I really like to cosplay. I've been cosplaying since 2008, and started sewing and creating my own cosplays since 2011. Especially starting in 2012, I've made vast improvements in my sewing skills. I've never been instantly talented at cosplay, I've had to work hard at it, and I am always learning new things!
Aside from that, I also really like to draw, especially illustrative type things like cartoons, I love animals, like to play video games (when there is time), and learning new languages and skills. ;3

Erica and Julianne's favorite client (okay, he's their only client) reads a few excerpts from The Purple Door. Seth is looking pretty cool up there. It's a far cry from what Erica deals with during an earlier photo shoot. You'll see what we mean in the upcoming "Jenny from the Block."


text: The Nights of Lucretia Borgia and not her days in history are the openly seductive draw in this standard Italian costume drama with a rather weak storyline. Lucretia of the poisonous vial (Belinda Lee) lusts after the handsome swordsman (Jacques Sernas) who works for her nefarious brother Cesare. Lucretia's main problem, after her murderous inclinations, is how to snare the swordsman away from a gorgeous rival (Michele Mercier). This challenge is something that could promote a little sibling cooperation, since Cesare wants Lucretia's bewitching rival for himself. One of the more impressive aspects of this film is the music of Alexander Derevitsky played by the Rome Philharmonic Orchestra. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Honey & Lemon shared the same birthday – they came into our lives together, grew up together, played together, shared adventures together – and should have grown old together…but we lost Lemon to a mystery infection while she was staying in a cattery, in Jan 2009. She was only 5yrs old. For such a tiny cat, she has left a huge hole in our hearts – and an empty space by Honey's side. She was the night to Honey's day, the spice to Honey's sweetness, the devil minx to Honey's angel goodness – and she was a cat in a million.

Alisios Riesling Pinot Grigio 2012 About this wine: Light, fresh, unoaked white made with - as winemaker Miguel Almeida calls them - a truly funky pair of grapes: each a classic in its own right, but causing amazing sensations when blended together. The Riesling and Pinot Gris grapes (50% each) are cold-fermented and pressed carefully with a pneumatic press to preserve all their natural aromatics. They come from newly discovered vineyards of Campanha, in the pampas lands of northern Brazil, bordering Uruguay. SERVING: Great with leafy summer salads, canapés and seafood snacks. Or enjoy this refreshing white with fresh summer starters like dressed crab, new season asparagus, chicken vol au vents, or tomato and dill tartlets. Keeping: Drink within 6 months of purchase. Style:Dry Grape Variety: Pinot Grigio, Riesling Country: Brazil (Campanha) Closure: Screw cap Suitable for vegetarians and vegans Bottle: 3 x 75cl Alcohol by volume: 12% Alcohol units per bottle: 9.0 Alcohol units per 125ml: 1.5 Contains sulphites Foxwood Viognier 2011 About this wine: Medal-winning white made by expert winemaker Guillaume Bonzoms who makes a strict selection of the finest Viognier grapes from specially chosen Languedoc vineyard sites. He then cold-ferments the fruit and matures the resulting wine on its yeast lees to reveal its full aromatic potential and rounded natural aromas. br>SERVING: Delicious with poached or grilled salmon and asparagus. Or serve with chicken and pesto pasta, slow-roasted belly of pork, or flavoursome lunch dishes like baked aubergine with spinach and melted cheese.

Here the vines get the chance to recover from the hot Spanish sunshine during the cool nights and frosty winters - and the fragrant, crisp acidity of the grapes is always ensured. Winemaker Antolin González (who was just 24 when he began making wine) harvests these Sauvignon grapes at night to guarantee that they arrive at the winery below 10˚C, to ensure the fabulous fruit flavours sing out. SERVING: A cheerful food matcher with great zesty acidity for pairing with flavoursome fish dishes, fresh seafood or lunchtime pasta meals. Try it with seabass and samphire or a warm salad of roasted courgettes and salmon. Keeping: Drink within 6 months of purchase.

We are proud to work with such a company and are absolutely delighted with the quality of the wines.

Governor's Teacher Initiative Discussed
Governor's Teacher Initiative Discussed
Lyman Superintendent Doug Eppard expressed to the board of education, at their Monday night meeting, his concern over Gov. Dennis Daugaard's proposed South Dakota Investing in Teachers initiative unveiled during the Governor's state of the state address recently.
"I'm not thrilled with merit pay for teachers," said Eppard. "It's hard on everyone.'
Eppard explained to the board the Governor's proposal to measure schools and teachers by their students' growth, award bonuses to teachers that select to teach math and science and do away with tenure.
The superintendent said legislation like this could hurt teacher moral.
Mr. Eppard stated Lyman staff is excited about the possibility to be compensated for more profession development that the proposal also includes.
No bills have been filed as of yet, but he will watch the issue.
For more on the story, pick up an issue of this weeks paper.

PETOSKEY, MI -- Whether you agree with the new law or not, medical marijuana is helping grow business for local plant supply stores.
Happy Hydro opened their doors in Petoskey six months ago and the owner says while the majority of her business caters to the traditional gardeners and farmers, she is seeing more business geared toward medical marijuana.
"When they come in, I don't really ask them what they're growing, I have orchid growers, tomato growers, of course, I'm sure a lot of people are doing it for medicinal purposes, and I just want to have what they need in the store and I'm happy to be here for them. It's getting better every day," said Cindi Hopkins, Happy Hydro Co-Owner.
Cindi Hopkins says she's seeing an increase in sales of hydroponic growing systems and also fertilizer is selling quick.
She says any business is good business, regardless of how people are using her products.

I had a white Tank on today, and it looked like I was lactaiting blood when I was done. No, my nipples are not big, but really? This sucks, it has only happened like 4 times in my life but it is embarsssing. Is it the shirt? Does this happen to anyone else? Any ideas? Please save the wise cracks, chances are I may have heard them today.

HSB Episode #32 – A Verry Merry Broadcast
The High Street Broadcast put on an amazing Christmas themed show for the month of December. As always the goals were set high — lots of songs, lots of story telling, lots of music!
From the composers standpoint, going from a creepy scary themed show to a happy and joyful show was hard this year. Maybe it was the amount of work that show #31 presented. Either way this show took some mental effort to get into the right mindset and right attitude.
There were several big songs for this show that were fun — from a musical-esque opening number to a beautiful choral arrangement of Auld Lang Syne to a straight up 1940′s ladies jazz trio — it seemed like we covered just about every genre.
The band was expanded even more — two woodwinds, two brass players, two pianos, upright bass and drums — so what was I to do but arrange a Christmas carol to feature the band only. And what Christmas carol should I do but Silent Night. After a long intro we went into the main theme — featured by the 2 piano players, myself and Becca Stankis. The brass and woodwind players went next followed by a summary with the entire ensemble. It was amazing.
One of the most fun underscoring moments I had was to arrange the same piece, Silent Night, only as if a Klingon from Star Trek was going to perform it. With the brass and woodwinds a merry tri-tone apart, power guitar chords from the 80′s being performed by a keyboard, cymbal strikes everywhere you could imagine… I think we got the point across.
Another great experience for me was to just let the band loose and do what they wanted. We ended the show with a dixieland version of Auld Lang Syne with each of the instruments taking and improvising over the melody. Instead of writing out specific parts I simply told them what I wanted, what key to perform in, and away they went. We had a blast doing it this way and it worked out well.
I know it's early to be thinking about it but I'm already planning out incidental music for next year. Ideas that I wanted to do this year but were cut — or Christmas carols that we haven't touched on yet. The High Street Broadcast's Christmas show is always one I look forward to!

Celebrated "Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling says she feels "duped and angry" over British Prime Minister David Cameron's response to a major inquiry into phone hacking and other abuses by the press.
Rowling was one of hundreds of witnesses to testify to the Leveson Inquiry into media standards and ethics, set up in the wake of a phone-hacking scandal at Rupert Murdoch's now-shuttered News of the World tabloid.
The judge who led the inquiry, Lord Justice Leveson, released his long-awaited report Thursday, in which he recommended an independent regulator be set up by the press, which would be backed by new laws to make sure it meets certain standards.
Cameron, of the Conservative Party, supported Brian Leveson's call for an independent regulator but said he was not convinced that legislation is needed to underpin the new body.
Rowling expressed her disappointment in the prime minister's decision in a statement posted Friday on the website of Hacked Off, a group campaigning for media reform.
"Having taken David Cameron's assurances in good faith at the outset of the inquiry he set up, I am merely one among many who feel duped and angry in its wake," she wrote.
"I thought long and hard about the possible consequences to my family of giving evidence and finally decided to do so because I have made every possible attempt to protect my children's privacy under the present system, and failed."
Rowling is concerned that members of the public who do not have the money to fight the press in the courts, over such abuses as invasion of privacy or libel, will continue to suffer.
"Those who have suffered the worst, most painful and least justifiable kinds of mistreatment at the hands of the press, people who have become newsworthy because of the press's own errors or through unspeakable private tragedy, are those least likely to be able to defend themselves or to seek proper redress," she said.
"Without statutory underpinning Leveson's recommendations will not work. We will be left with yet another voluntary system from which the press can walk away."
Rowling also questioned why millions of pounds had been spent on the inquiry if the prime minister did not intend to follow its recommendations. She urged people to sign a petition set up by Hacked Off if they agreed.
The group has already collected more than 50,000 signatures from the public in support of the full implementation of Leveson's recommendations.
Cameron will attend a meeting Tuesday between UK newspaper editors and Culture Secretary Maria Miller, a spokesman for 10 Downing Street said Saturday.
Cameron and Miller will be pushing the press to set up an independent watchdog, as suggested in Leveson's report, the spokesman said.
"They will make it clear that they (the press) can't drag their heels," he said.
Cameron's stance last week had caused immediate divisions within the country's coalition government.
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, who leads the Liberal Democrats in the coalition, said he believes new legislation is needed to ensure the regulator's long-term independence.
Ed Miliband, leader of the opposition Labour Party, also said he favors full implementation of Leveson's recommendations, including the new legislation.
In his report, Leveson said he had no desire to jeopardize the freedom of the press, which he acknowledged plays a "vital" role in safeguarding the public interest, but that changes are needed to tackle abuses.
The British press has ignored its own code of conduct on "far too many occasions over the last decade," causing "real hardship" and sometimes wreaking "havoc with the lives of innocent people," Leveson said.

I've been looking for role plays in general, but I've specifically been wanting something based on Fallout 3 or Dragon Age 2. I've had a mad craving for both of these and I'm hoping someone else has too, haha.
Ground rules, I guess: I'm not on constantly, and sometimes I just give myself days off from interacting with other human beings. I don't really have limits on anything. I prefer role playing over email or PMs, because I always forget to log into my IM. Romance isn't required, but I prefer m/m and sometimes f/f. Basically, anything that isn't straight is good with me.
I also have (little) ideas for both!
Fallout 3:
The main characters are brought together because of events that follow in the Lone Wanderer's wake. They are pursuing the Lone Wanderer for whatever reason-- revenge or thanks-- and the story follows the various events of Fallout 3.
Of course, the same plot can work with one character actually being the Lone Wanderer. It's basically the same concept.
In a more specific twist, one of the characters is an android that is seeking the Lone Wanderer for help (assuming that the Lone Wanderer has the interests of androids in mind). They end up traveling with another Wastelander and must keep their status as an android secret, despite steadily mounting evidence to the contrary as they travel along.
And there's always room to change things around or completely scrap this idea-- I really don't mind.
Dragon Age 2:
I'm not normally open to playing canon characters, but I might be willing to give the various companions a try, since I'm pretty familiar with them. However, I am most interested in doing something involving the Qun/Qunari. (This is why I chose Dragon Age 2 specifically, since the first one really only has Sten. Again, I don't mind role playing during the first one-- we could do something new and interesting with it, definitely.) I'll love anyone a million times over if they're willing to do some fun Qunari stuff with me!
I don't have a plot for this as much as I have scenarios:
The setting is in the Qunari compound in Kirkwall and there are new arrivals taking refuge there.
A character/group of characters is captured by Tal Vashoth and held for ransom or for some larger scheme.
A character hires a Tal Vashoth as a body guard.

WASHINGTON – Global giving is transforming aid to developing countries through higher amounts than ever before and in how it is being delivered. According to new data published in the third annual Index of Global Philanthropy, private giving and investment from all donors to developing countries now account for over 75 percent of developed countries' entire economic dealings with the developing world. Government aid or "Official Development Assistance" (ODA) is a minority shareholder in the growth and development of poor countries.
In the U.S., the Index found that for 2006, (latest year for which data are available), private philanthropy and the remittances that migrants send back to families in their home towns, constitute four and one-half times U.S. official aid abroad. This is up from three and one-half times in 2005. The U.S. gave $34.8 billion in private philanthropy and $71.5 billion in remittances as compared to $23.5 billion in ODA. The Index, published by Hudson Institute's Center for Global Prosperity (CGP), also provides examples of how the traditional "donor-to-recipient" model of foreign aid is being changed through public private partnerships, where the savviest of government aid agencies are changing their foreign aid business model to leverage official aid with new private programs run by foundations, corporations, charities, universities, and religious organizations.
This year's Index breaks new ground with the publication of the first ever nationwide random sample survey of U.S. religious giving to relief and development projects in the developing world. The pioneering study, conducted by the University of Notre Dame Center for the Study of Religion and Society, in partnership with CGP, found that U.S. religious giving to the developing world, combined with other data, was a stunning $8.8 billion in 2006. This giving is almost forty percent of U.S. official aid to poor countries.
The Index documentsnew trends in giving such as cause-related marketing, fair-trade movements, and internet giving which are democratizing philanthropy and creating "ordinary Oprahs" all around the world. "It's an exciting time for philanthropy," says Carol Adelman, director of the CGP, "as we watch how new and diverse private players are creating new business models for foreign aid. But most importantly, it's about how to help poor people help themselves through partnerships that are locally owned, transparent, and accountable, thus having better, more lasting results than government aid has had in the past."
As in previous editions, the 2008 Index chronicles numerous instances of private giving at work – a former Peace Corps volunteer who continues to raise money and devote time to school children in Colombia, college students who use their spring break to volunteer at a community hospital in Ecuador or work with coffee farmers in the Dominican Republic, a U.K. charity that distributes auto-mechanic kits in Uganda so that local entrepreneurs can start businesses, and a low cost, durable mobile phone developed specially for developing countries through the efforts of a global mobile communications association, are just a few of the private efforts helping to create growth and prosperity in the developing world.

Peace on the Western Front, Goodwill in No Man's Land — The Story of the World War I Christmas Truce
Even at the distance of a century, no war seems more terrible than World War I. In the four years between 1914 and 1918, it killed or wounded more than 25 million people–peculiarly horribly, and (in popular opinion, at least) for less apparent purpose than did any other war before or since. Yet there were still odd moments of joy and hope in the trenches of Flanders and France, and one of the most remarkable came during the first Christmas of the war, a few brief hours during which men from both sides on the Western Front laid down their arms, emerged from their trenches, and shared food, carols, games and comradeship.
Their truce–the famous Christmas Truce–was unofficial and illicit. Many officers disapproved, and headquarters on both sides took strong steps to ensure that it could never happen again. While it lasted, though, the truce was magical, leading even the sober Wall Street Journal to observe: "What appears from the winter fog and misery is a Christmas story, a fine Christmas story that is, in truth, the most faded and tattered of adjectives: inspiring."
The first signs that something strange was happening occurred on Christmas Eve. At 8:30 p.m. an officer of the Royal Irish Rifles reported to headquarters: "Germans have illuminated their trenches, are singing songs and wishing us a Happy Xmas. Compliments are being exchanged but am nevertheless taking all military precautions." Further along the line, the two sides serenaded each other with carols—the German "Silent Night" being met with a British chorus of "The First Noel"—and scouts met, cautiously, in no man's land, the shell-blasted waste between the trenches. The war diary of the Scots Guards records that a certain Private Murker "met a German Patrol and was given a glass of whisky and some cigars, and a message was sent back saying that if we didn't fire at them, they would not fire at us."
The same basic understanding seems to have sprung up spontaneously at other spots. For another British soldier, Private Frederick Heath, the truce began late that same night when "all down our line of trenches there came to our ears a greeting unique in war: 'English soldier, English soldier, a merry Christmas, a merry Christmas!'" Then–as Heath wrote in a letter home–the voices added:
'Come out, English soldier; come out here to us.' For some little time we were cautious, and did not even answer. Officers, fearing treachery, ordered the men to be silent. But up and down our line one heard the men answering that Christmas greeting from the enemy. How could we resist wishing each other a Merry Christmas, even though we might be at each other's throats immediately afterwards? So we kept up a running conversation with the Germans, all the while our hands ready on our rifles. Blood and peace, enmity and fraternity—war's most amazing paradox. The night wore on to dawn—a night made easier by songs from the German trenches, the pipings of piccolos and from our broad lines laughter and Christmas carols. Not a shot was fired.
Several factors combined to produce the conditions for this Christmas Truce. By December 1914, the men in the trenches were veterans, familiar enough with the realities of combat to have lost much of the idealism that they had carried into war in August, and most longed for an end to bloodshed. The war, they had believed, would be over by Christmas, yet there they were in Christmas week still muddied, cold and in battle. Then, on Christmas Eve itself, several weeks of mild but miserably soaking weather gave way to a sudden, hard frost, creating a dusting of ice and snow along the front that made the men on both sides feel that something spiritual was taking place.
Just how widespread the truce was is hard to say. It was certainly not general—there are plenty of accounts of fighting continuing through the Christmas season in some sectors, and others of men fraternizing to the sound of guns firing nearby. One common factor seems to have been that Saxon troops—universally regarded as easygoing—were the most likely to be involved, and to have made the first approaches to their British counterparts. "We are Saxons, you are Anglo-Saxons," one shouted across no man's land. "What is there for us to fight about?" The most detailed estimate, made by Malcolm Brown of Britain's Imperial War Museums, is that the truce extended along at least two-thirds of British-held trench line that scarred southern Belgium.
Even so, accounts of a Christmas Truce refer to a suspension of hostilities only between the British and the Germans. The Russians, on the Eastern Front, still adhered to the old Julian calendar in 1914, and hence did not celebrate Christmas until January 7, while the French were far more sensitive than their allies to the fact that the Germans were occupying about a third of France—and ruling French civilians with some harshness.
It was only in the British sector, then, that troops noticed at dawn the Germans had placed small Christmas trees along parapets of their trenches. Slowly, parties of men from both sides began to venture toward the barbed wire that separated them, until—Rifleman Oswald Tilley told his parents in a letter home—"literally hundreds of each side were out in no man's land shaking hands."
Communication could be difficult. German-speaking British troops were scarce, but many Germans had been employed in Britain before the war, frequently in restaurants. Captain Clifton Stockwell, an officer with the Royal Welch Fusiliers who found himself occupying a trench opposite the ruins of a heavily shelled brewery, wrote in his diary of "one Saxon, who spoke excellent English" and who "used to climb in some eyrie in the brewery and spend his time asking 'How is London getting on?', 'How was Gertie Millar and the Gaiety?', and so on. Lots of our men had blind shots at him in the dark, at which he laughed, [but] one night I came out and called, 'Who the hell are you?' At once came back the answer, 'Ah—the officer—I expect I know you—I used to be head waiter at the Great Central Hotel."
Of course, only a few men involved in the truce could share reminiscences of London. Far more common was an interest in "football"—soccer—which by then had been played professionally in Britain for a quarter-century and in Germany since the 1890s. Perhaps it was inevitable that some men on both sides would produce a ball and—freed briefly from the confines of the trenches—take pleasure in kicking it about. What followed, though, was something more than that, for if the story of the Christmas Truce has its jewel, it is the legend of the match played between the British and the Germans—which the Germans claimed to have won, 3-2.
The first reports of such a contest surfaced a few days afterward; on January 1, 1915, The Times published a letter written from a doctor attached to the Rifle Brigade, who reported "a football match… played between them and us in front of the trench." The brigade's official history insisted that no match took place because "it would have been most unwise to allow the Germans to know how weakly the British trenches were held." But there is plenty of evidence that soccer was played that Christmas Day—mostly by men of the same nationality, but in at least three or four places between troops from the opposing armies.
The most detailed of these stories comes from the German side, and reports that the 133rd Royal Saxon Regiment played a game against Scottish troops. According to the 133rd's War History, this match emerged from the "droll scene of Tommy und Fritz" chasing hares that emerged from under cabbages between the lines, and then producing a ball to kick about. Eventually, this "developed into a regulation football match with caps casually laid out as goals. The frozen ground was no great matter. Then we organized each side into teams, lining up in motley rows, the football in the center. The game ended 3-2 for Fritz."
Exactly what happened between the Saxons and the Scots is difficult to say. Some accounts of the game bring in elements that were actually dreamed up by Robert Graves, a renowned British poet, writer and war veteran, who reconstructed the encounter in a story published in 1962. In Graves's version, the score remains 3-2 to the Germans, but the writer adds a sardonic fictional flourish: "The Reverend Jolly, our padre, acted as ref [and showed] too much Christian charity—their outside left shot the deciding goal, but he was miles offside and admitted it as soon as the whistle went."
The real game was far from a regulated fixture with 11 players a side and 90 minutes of play. In the one detailed eyewitness account that survives—albeit in an interview not given until the 1960s—Lieutenant Johannes Niemann, a Saxon who served with the 133rd, recalled that on Christmas morning:
the mist was slow to clear and suddenly my orderly threw himself into my dugout to say that both the German and Scottish soldiers had come out of their trenches and were fraternizing along the front. I grabbed my binoculars and looking cautiously over the parapet saw the incredible sight of our soldiers exchanging cigarettes, schnapps and chocolate with the enemy. Later a Scottish soldier appeared with a football which seemed to come from nowhere and a few minutes later a real football match got underway. The Scots marked their goal mouth with their strange caps and we did the same with ours. It was far from easy to play on the frozen ground, but we continued, keeping rigorously to the rules, despite the fact that it only lasted an hour and that we had no referee. A great many of the passes went wide, but all the amateur footballers, although they must have been very tired, played with huge enthusiasm.
For Niemann, the novelty of getting to know their kilted opposition matched the novelty of playing soccer in no man's land:
Us Germans really roared when a gust of wind revealed that the Scots wore no drawers under their kilts—and hooted and whistled every time they caught an impudent glimpse of one posterior belonging to one of "yesterday's enemies." But after an hour's play, when our Commanding Officer heard about it, he sent an order that we must put a stop to it. A little later we drifted back to our trenches and the fraternization ended.
The game that Niemann recalled was only one of many that took place up and down the Front. Attempts were made in several spots to involve the Germans—the Queen's Westminsters, one private soldier wrote home, "had a football out in front of the trenches and asked the Germans to send a team to play us, but either they considered the ground too hard, as it had been freezing all night and was a ploughed field, or their officers put the bar up." But at least three, and perhaps four, other matches apparently took place between the armies. A sergeant in the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders recorded that a game was played in his sector "between the lines and the trenches," and according to a letter home published by the Glasgow News on January 2, the Scots "won easily by 4-1." Meanwhile Lieutenant Albert Wynn of the Royal Field Artillery wrote of a match against a German team of "Prussians and Hanovers" that was played near Ypres. That game "ended in a draw," but the Lancashire Fusiliers, occupying trenches close to the coast near Le Touquet and using a ration-tin "ball," played their own game against the Germans, and–according to their regimental history–lost by the same score as the Scots who encountered the 133rd, 3-2.
It is left to a fourth recollection, given in 1983 by Ernie Williams of the Cheshire Regiment, to supply a real idea of what soccer played between the trenches really meant. Although Williams was recalling a game played on New Year's Eve, after there had been a thaw and plenty of rain, his description chimes with the little that is known for sure about the games played on Christmas Day:
[A] ball appeared from somewhere, I don't know where, but it came from their side… They made up some goals and one fellow went in goal and then it was just a general kickabout. I should think there were a couple of hundred taking part. I had a go at the ball. I was pretty good then, at 19. Everybody seemed to be enjoying themselves. There was no sort of ill-will between us…. There was no referee and no score, no tally at all. It was simply a mêlee—nothing like the soccer that you see on television. The boots we wore were a menace—those great big boots we had on—and in those days the balls were made of leather and they soon got very soggy.
Of course, not every man on either side was thrilled by the Christmas Truce, and official opposition squelched at least one proposed Anglo-German soccer match. Lieutenant C.E.M. Richards, a young officer serving with the East Lancashire Regiment, had been greatly disturbed by reports of fraternization between the men of his regiment and the enemy and had actually welcomed the "return of good old sniping" late on Christmas Day—"just to make sure that the war was still on." That evening, however, Richards "received a signal from Battalion Headquarters telling him to make a football pitch in no man's land, by filling up shell holes etc., and to challenge the enemy to a football match on 1st January." Richards recalled that "I was furious and took no action at all," but over time his view did mellow. "I wish I had kept that signal," he wrote years later. "Stupidly I destroyed it—I was so angry. It would now have been a good souvenir."
In most places, up and down the line, it was accepted that the truce would be purely temporary. Men returned to their trenches at dusk, in some cases summoned back by flares, but for the most part determined to preserve the peace at least until midnight. There was more singing, and in at least one spot presents were exchanged. George Eade, of the Rifles, had become friends with a German artilleryman who spoke good English, and as he left, this new acquaintance said to him: "Today we have peace. Tomorrow, you fight for your country, I fight for mine. Good luck."
Fighting erupted again the next day, though there were reports from some sectors of hostilities remaining suspended into the New Year. And it does not seem to have been uncommon for the resumption of the war to be marked with further displays of mutual respect between enemies. In the trenches occupied by the Royal Welch Fusiliers, Captain Stockwell "climbed up on the parapet, fired three shots in the air and put up a flag with 'Merry Christmas' on it." At this, his opposite number, Hauptmann von Sinner, "appeared on the German parapet and both officers bowed and saluted. Von Sinner then also fired two shots in the air and went back into his trench."
The war was on again, and there would be no further truce until the general armistice of November 1918. Many, perhaps close to the majority, of the thousands of men who celebrated Christmas 1914 together would not live to see the return of peace. But for those who did survive, the truce was something that would never be forgotten.

Peace is a choice. Kindness is a choice. Let us all choose kindness, peace, love, and joy.
thank you for the inspiring story with all of the tidbits left in!
Christmas Blessings to all, all the year round!
Poignant episode. If anyone wants to read a few more Christmas at War anecdotes they can read my Dad's WW2 stories at http://www.fightingthrough.co.uk/#/christmas-at-war/4545822180.
Best wishes to one and all!
My ex-father-in-law was there with the Canadian forces on that day, a few days after his 19th birthday. He told me the story about fifty years ago and I wondered for a long time if it was true. He said they shook hands, shared cigarettes,talked and sang carols. It was still a special memory for him in the 1970′s and he talked about it every Christmas. Thank you for adding more the story..
What a pity that a piece given a platform by the Smithsonian cannot rise above finding it necessary to acknowledge the old canards which are now usually only repeated by an unenquiring tabloid press, or in the cheaply made documentaries churned out for satellite history channels. In particular the idea that the Great War of '14 – '18 was fought "(in popular opinion, at least) for less apparent purpose than did any other war before or since."
Anyone who thinks that preventing German hegemony over Europe and international maritime trade was a 'futile' exercise is out of touch with what the Allies who fought to stop Germany knew to be necessary and also what informed historiographical opinion acknowledges today.
Take, for example, this from Professor Sir Michael Howard, who established the prestigious Department of War Studies at King's College, London:
"If the Germany of 1916 was not that of Adolf Hitler, neither was she that of Konrad Adenauer. Power was contested between an authoritarian, militaristic and increasingly proto-fascistic right wing and a liberal-socialistic left, and every military success strengthened the hand of the former. Victory in war would have established their dominance, not only in Germany, but over Europe as a whole, and with it their determination to destroy Britain's naval supremacy and to reduce her to the status of a second-rate power as they had done to France in 1871. That at least was the perception in Britain itself, which was why, for better or worse, neither elite nor popular opinion in Britain across the political spectrum for a moment considered defeat to be an option."
The author of this piece also thinks that "no war seems more terrible than World War I," and thart "In the four years between 1914 and 1918, it killed or wounded more than 25 million people–peculiarly horribly…" I suggest that he ought to consult John Terraine's 'The Smoke and the Fire: Myths and Anti Myths of War 1861-1945′, after which he may wish to revise his impressions of the Great War as either "the most terrible" in scale or aspect, or the most costly in lives.
The purpose of the war may not have been obvious at the time , particularly to those in the front lines. Very loosely speaking, when the smoke lifted, control over Palestine and the oil fields of Iraq and Saudi Arabia had passed, from Turkey to Britain and France. Maybe just a secondary event, but an important one.
No way would we lose 3-2
Rip lads.

Somerhalder has been making bad look good for five seasons, and a big part of his allure is his signature smolder. With that in mind, we've put together a tribute to Damon's best smolders — and it's far from monotonous, since he has one for every occasion.

This marathon was in beautiful Marin County. I wish they would have closed the streets to traffic; some spots were pretty hairy (even my volunteer pacer was saying how scary the traffic was). The course was challenging and scenic, with rolling hills overlooking the San Francisco Bay. The bagpiper walk to the finish was quirky, unique, and ultimately much appreciated. This marathon was also very expensive; the high price warranted a little more coordination from the organizers and a better finisher's medal. Not sure where the money went (same price as a Rock 'n' Roll Marathon - without the perks). At the end of the day, it was Marin County's first full marathon. It was a beautiful setting, and I will do it again. I hope next year is better coordinated.

I have been experimenting with OpenIB and OpenMPI on several clusters. I will be building another one today (pending no fires) with cAos2 and Warewulf. cAos-2 actually has the openIB gen2 stack in the standard kernel (the 18.104.22.168 in the testing repository). I have seen several other problems with that kernel on Dual core Opterons systems WRT to PCI express (which is why that kernel hasn't made it out of the testing repository yet). Luckily the system I want to run on is a EM64T ;) cAos-2 also has current MPI's in its ports tree which also integrated with environment modules. This means you can do: # cd /usr/src/ports/programs/openmpi/1.0 # make install And then all users can select the MPI that they want to use by: $ module load openmpi/1.0 OK, enough evangelizing... Back to the question at hand. Our initial tests have been promising. Not perfect yet, but good enough to start testing for production systems. (we would rather utilize a community maintained solution then a proprietary stack that locks us to a particular version/infrastructure (obviously)).

Turning back to the issue of gun control our first guest tonight says the president is sorely mistaken.
If he believes he can amend the US constitution by executive order.
Joining us tonight congressman trade -- a member of both the house oversight and judiciary committees also recently named chairman of the key subcommittee on immigration.
Congressman good to have you with us what's let's turn to first if we -- to the idea.
That this president if necessary as is vice president suggested.
Will by executive order constrained gun owner rights.
Lucky give you a long list of things to worry about life but his prison there's fought vice president shredding our Second Amendment because they think it's politically expedient is not going to be one album.
You know keep him on this president wants to call the constitution I find it shocking how little regard he seems to have for that document.
He may not like the Second Amendment he can take that out with Madison and Jefferson and the the -- that framed it.
But he is not gonna run roughshod over the Second Amendment so he can curry favor with some political group.
Or Hollywood if he wants to have a discussion about how to stop mass killings I am thrilled to have that conversation with -- But if he just wants to curry political points.
But running roughshod over the second -- that's not gonna happen.
And the and the National Rifle Association meeting with the vice president.
And his task force today saying.
A that they since their reserve parlance are concerned for the safety of our school children and there was a concern about continuing that assault on the Second Amendment.
What's your reaction.
Well Lou I met with our share of today I introduce our new senator Tim Scott to our share of an -- Spartanburg -- -- -- our school districts have decided to have.
-- -- and officers at our schools us -- state local decision.
-- the reality is we have gun control in this country there are limits on who can possess -- gone.
There are limits -- they can -- the gone and there are limits on what types of guns they can't possess if the president and the attorney general wanna have a conversation about.
One aspect of federal -- that's not being enforced.
Which is that dangerously mentally ill people cannot possess any kind of firearm even appellate gone much less an -- or fifteen.
If they want to have a conversation about how we can better enforce that I'm happy to help them.
But we don't need a federal lost police presence at our local schools and we're not gonna -- the Second Amendment.
Any more than I would expect him to shred the First Amendment have you heard one word about violent video games violent videos violent movies have you heard one word about shredding the Fourth Amendment if we're pretty sure that there's evidence in the apartment of a suspected mass killer.
Have you heard one word about shredding the Fifth Amendment.
If we don't want -- Rand dies they suspected mass killer or the sixth amendment that we're not gonna give the right to counsel to a suspected mass killer.
No they wanna they wanna tackle the bastard column that of the bill of rights which is the Second Amendment it is not gonna happen not -- -- watch.
-- -- that reassurance congressman.
Let me turn to.
Jack -- in his nomination to replace Timothy Geithner as Treasury Secretary.
Meeting I think many people would say unexpected opposition.
And energetic opposition from some Republicans in Washington.
Because he did preside as budget director over three balanced budgets -- last and our government to have done so under President Clinton.
And he does come from Wall Street obviously -- -- a capitalist.
Well I would think after Chuck Hagel and and and then mr.
Brennan that that senate Republicans would be tired -- they have been closing of the names are -- thrown out for several days I was actually with senator Graham yesterday of course senator Scott.
But today I would say this with respect to Jack -- I -- much more concerned.
But affected he presided over.
A budget proposal from this president not President Clinton on the dot buffer and they'll they'll Saudi Al loved to go -- President Clinton -- talk about this president.
Yet nobody votes his budget proposal got.
In the United States house the United States senate the same number of votes my -- budget proposal got zero.
So why are more concerned over the fact that Jack -- can't draft a budget.
They can even get Bernie Sanders or in your -- more progressive house Democrats to vote -- If he's willing.
If he's willing to unveil the most closely -- national secret we have which is president Obama's deficit reduction plan.
Then I'll give him a fair hearing if he's willing -- -- Harry Reid.
Took to do something goes -- as unbelievable -- revolutionary.
As pass a budget that I'll be happy to give him.
Give them give him a listen but you know senator Graham a senator Scott -- both reminded me -- -- -- house and I don't have a vote on confirmation so I'll let them.
Sort that out but -- more troubled about mr.
lose -- ability propose a budget -- can even quarter a single solitary.
On Capitol Hill.
Senator Scott already reminding you -- is new seat across the way there aren't gonna didn't like -- up.
It didn't take a law congressman we appreciate your bit congressman -- thank you.
We'll have much more.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show: Mark explains that the government won't default unless President Obama violates the Constitution and federal law and ends up imposing one on the nation. The federal government won't default because of the debt and when Obama says that Social Security checks will run out, he is lying. Obama is trying to scare Social Security recipients and put the blame on Republicans, the deficit, the debt ceiling and not on the main problem - that he and his policies have put us in this situation. Mark also talks about the Memorials that have been shut down, and says the federal government shouldn't have control over them anymore. Finally, Mark speaks with Mark Youssef, producer and writer of Innocence of Muslims, the film which was originally blamed for the Benghazi attacks by the Obama administration.

December 10, 2013
WASHINGTON (AP) - The presidential election is Nov. 6, but it could take days to determine the winner if the vote is close, thanks to new voting laws that will probably increase the number of people who have to cast provisional ballots in key states.
Tight races for Congress, governor and local offices also could be stuck in limbo while election officials scrutinize ballots.
Voters cast provisional ballots for a variety of reasons: They don't bring proper ID to the polls; they fail to update their voter registration after moving; they try to vote at the wrong precinct; or someone challenges their right to vote.
These voters may have their votes counted, but only if election officials verify that they were eligible to vote, a process that can take days or weeks.
