London – Graeme Swann reiterated Friday his call to Alastair Cook to stand down as England's one-day captain and quit limited overs internationals completely, saying the team's current approach to the 50-over game was akin to a "two-litre diesel in a Formula One race".
The former off-spinner, who retired from international duty during England's 5-0 Ashes thrashing in Australia, had first urged Cook to stand down on Monday, saying the side did not have a "cat in hell's chance" of winning next year's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
Cook rejected his one-time team-mate's comments by labelling Swann a "so-called friend" following England's 133-run defeat by India in the second one-day international in Cardiff on Wednesday.
However, in his Sun column published Friday, Swann said: "Real mates are honest with each other. I'm no longer in the England dressing room and it is my job now as a pundit to give my honest thoughts.
"I think being one-day captain is a poisoned chalice for him. He just doesn't need the job.
"The cricket England are playing in 50-over cricket is outdated and I fear it will be a painful winter for the team."
Swann added: "I don't want him to be part of it. This is not a witch-hunt against 'Cookie' and I'm still a huge supporter of his captaincy in Test cricket.
"But, in one-day matches, I want England to play the exciting cricket they promised six months ago when Peter Moores took over as head coach.
"We're happy to tootle along in a two-litre diesel in a Formula One race.
"England must change their strategy to have any chance of winning the World Cup.
"I'm 100 percent behind him as Test captain. But, in one-day cricket, you should pick your 11 best players and choose your captain from there and I don't think he is one of the best 11players."
England 1-0 down in a five-match series where Monday's opening fixture in Bristol was washed out completely, play world champions India again in the third ODI at Nottingham's Trent Bridge ground on Saturday. – Sapa-AFP

Managing conflict over natural resources in greater Kordofan, Sudan: Some recurrent patterns and governance implications
"Despite the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement, which brought to an end 20 years of civil war in the Sudan, this country continues to experience smaller-scale conflicts, particularly around access to and control of natural resources. Some observers lay the blame for this on ethnopolitical or tribal divisions. However, this paper argues that there are a variety of factors at play behind these conflicts, notably the combination of resource scarcity with a crisis of governance that is particularly evident in transitional areas like the Kordofan region. To gain a sense of the range of conflicts around natural resources in Kordofan, the authors reviewed existing records such as government archives; conducted interviews with politicians, federal and state government officials, farmers, pastoralists, and Native Administration leaders; and investigated findings in the field. Interviews also served to examine people's knowledge about government natural resource policies and their perceptions of the roles played by government and the Native Administration in conflict management and resolution. The paper presents 20 cases of stalemate competition or open conflict over natural resources in Kordofan. The cases center on (1) conflicts between farmers and herders over stock routes, gum arabic forests, gardens, watering points, and the use of dars (tribal homelands); (2) conflicts between herders and small farmers and government agents or large private investors over mechanized farming areas, oil infrastructure, and other private investments. In their analysis of natural resource governance in Sudan, the authors find that natural resources policies have often been weak foundations for sustainable resource use, and in some cases they have actually contributed to conflict. In addition, the volatile path of government devolution efforts concerning natural resources has undermined governance of these resources. While conflicts between farmers and herders were managed relatively successful in the past through customary land tenure systems, this is less and less the case today as a result of larger herds, reduced water and pasture, instability and prejudices stirred up by the war, and a proliferation of arms among herders. In addition, patron–client politics, weak natural resource management and development policies, and top-down government institutions have encouraged ethnic polarization and social divisions. The authors find that measures are needed to reform the process of natural resource management, making land use planning more comprehensive, building on local livelihood systems, and increasing public spending on infrastructure. In addition, sustainable property rights on farmland and on mobile resources should be redefined, and informal conflict management mechanisms restored to the extent that this is possible."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 16/7/2009 (2959 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Effective art often approaches us sideways. We can watch a show that doesn't overtly address emotional issues, and be moved to tears by a sudden insight or pang of recognition.
On the other hand, we can sit through a one-woman show that grapples head-on with loss, suicidal depression and the incomprehensibility of death, and be unmoved and uninvolved.
Celeste Sansregret is the intense Winnipeg actor-writer seen in last year's Wonderbar! Here, she pours out an autobiography that is too factually specific, too direct to work as art.
The story, which shifts from childhood to recent events, reveals that Sansregret had to cut short her 2008 fringe tour when her engagement to her philandering fiance ended, then her father passed away.
Her suffering and eventual return to hope aren't filtered or shaped — they're just laid out. She does deliver some lovely, evocative memories. But her unnatural, exaggerated speaking style does nothing to make her annus horribilis strike meaningful chords in her audience.
—Alison Mayes
From the official Fringe program:
What happens when you die?
Twelve years of catechism and decades later, Sansregret searches for the answer to the biggest Sacred Mystery of all.
"Sansregret weaves an often mesmerizing tale" - WINNIPEG SUN

Veteran Irish star Big Zeb to swerve Cheltenham Festival in March
Colm Murphy has confirmed that stable stalwart Big Zeb will swerve Cheltenham this year and wait for Punchestown.
Last Updated: 11/01/13 10:44am
The 2010 Queen Mother Champion Chase winner has so far not shown the same lustre as in previous seasons, and was last seen finishing fourth behind Sizing Europe in his defence of the Paddy Power Dial-A-Bet Chase at Leopardstown.
Rather than head to Cheltenham in March, Big Zeb will instead have the Punchestown Festival a month later as a conditional aim.
Murphy said: "He was a bit sore after the race, but he's totally fine now and we are just ticking over with him.
"I've not really thought about where we go, but I suppose we should just wait and get some nice, good ground for him.
"He definitely won't be going (to Cheltenham). I imagine we'd end up looking at Punchestown."

The estranged wife of Marc Anthony and the 'Mechanic' hunk were snapped rehearsing a scene for the upcoming Taylor Hackford-directed thriller on the Florida set.
Jennifer Lopez and Jason Statham were seen getting close at Sunshine State highrise balcony on the set of their latest thriller "Parker". The twosome were caught on camera rehearsing the lines for some scenes on the film set in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on Tuesday, September 20.
Newly single J-Lo looked pretty in blue ensemble, while the boyfriend of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley oozed masculinity in a seer-sucker suit and a cowboy hat. At some points, the "Killer Elite" actor was snapped wrapping his arm on the "American Idol" judge's hip, while director Taylor Hackford looked on.
A day before, Lopez and Statham were also spotted shooting a jewelry heist scene in Palm Beach's Worth Avenue. They were seen riding a convertible Bentley and a white SUV. Words are, the production will continue on all over South Florida for the next two weeks.
Based on Donald Westlake's novel "Flashfire", the movie revolves around a thief by the name of Parker who, though at times is forced to be a killer, still lives by a code of honor that includes never stealing money from people who need it. His word is his bond, and if he is crossed he will strike back relentlessly.
Statham stars as the titular character, while Lopez plays a real estate agent who becomes Statham's partner. Nick Nolte, Michael Chiklis, Wendell Pierce, Clifton Collins Jr., Patti LuPone and Emma Booth also join the cast ensemble. The movie is slated for an October 12 release next year in theaters across the U.S.

SNAC Thanks PETCO and Volunteers
SNAC wants to thank PETCO for once again hosting the low cost vaccine clinic for dogs and cats. A special thanks to all of our volunteers and staff. Dr. Lambert for doing the most tiring job of vaccinating all those pets. Staff, Cathy and Shawn for always being there when we need them and supporting the spay/neuter cause. Volunteers all....don't have all the names but some of you are; Vi, Connie, Carol, Barbara, John, Dwayne, Karen, Tori, Lori, Barbara, Vicky, Grant, Maggie, Byron, MJ, Carolyn, Marthi, Arnie, Arlene...and more. SPECIAL THANKS to Camp Green Dog who provided our forms. Brooke's Bed n Biscuit for Will and Lindsay. If I missed someone, I apologize as it was a very hectic day. Some people came early to the event and unfortunately waited outside in the heat until we were ready to start. We will try to arrange it better next time but tried to keep the store with all the animals and people so close together somewhat separated for a time. That many animals in proximity cause tempers to flare as does the heat. All in all people were amazingly cooperative and appreciative of the opportunity to have their pets inoculations done at these reasonable prices. Once inside, most clients waited only 1 to 1 1/2 hours...not bad for this type of clinic. We did finally run out of dog annual vaccines but only 15 or so which wasn't too bad. Still in 4 hours we vaccinated well over 200 pets ...quite a day. Thanks to all of you who supported SNAC today. We will continue to try to improve the process but it was already better than last year. Another thank you to Bluffton Today, a visible supporter of SNAC with their posting of information on the clinic, Mark Robertson 98.7, Adventure Radio, City Sun and Island Packet for their help as well. We can't do it without you all! Let those that helped us today, Petco, the Vet and businesses that volunteered know how much you appreciate this type of clinic by supportng them with your business.

Beginning with the Sioux victory over General Custer at Little Big Horn, Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee intertwines the unique perspectives of three characters: Charles Eastman (Adam Beach), né Ohiyesa, a young, Dartmouth-educated, Sioux doctor held up as living proof of the alleged success of assimilation; Sitting Bull (August Schellenberg), the proud Lakota chief who refuses to submit to U.S. government policies designed to strip his people of their identity, their dignity and their sacred land - the gold-laden Black Hills of the Dakotas; and Senator Henry Dawes (Aidan Quinn), one of the architects of the government policy on Indian affairs.
While Eastman and patrician schoolteacher Elaine Goodale (Anna Paquin) work to improve life for the Sioux on the reservation, Senator Dawes lobbies President Grant (Thompson) for more humane treatment, opposing the bellicose stance of General William Tecumseh Sherman (Feore).
Hope rises for the Sioux in the form of the prophet Wovoka (Studi) and the Ghost Dance - a messianic movement that promises an end of their suffering under the white man.
This hope is all but obliterated after the killing of Sitting Bull and the massacre of hundreds of Lakota men, women and children by the 7th Cavalry at Wounded Knee Creek on Dec. 29, 1890.
Published in 1971, Dee Brown's book is one of the foremost works documenting the systematic subjugation of the American Indian during the latter half of the 19th century. It has sold nearly five million copies and has been translated into 17 languages.
From Brown's encyclopedic tome chronicling the fate of the Dakota, Ute, Cheyenne and other tribes, the film focuses on the events leading up to the massacre of the Sioux, which many consider one of the most grievous atrocities in United States history.

On Thursday, Travolta and wife Kelly Preston held a memorial service for Jett in their Ocala, Fla., hometown. Lisa Marie Presley, Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood were among the celeb guests.
Jett died of a seizure disorder Jan. 2 while vacationing with his family in Grand Bahamas. "John just adored him," his pal Tom Cruise recently said.

DA asks judge to reject motions from Pitt researcher accused in poisoning
The Allegheny County District Attorney's Office asked a judge to deny 80 motions to suppress evidence made by the attorneys for the University of Pittsburgh researcher accused of fatally poisoning his wife with cyanide, according to court documents filed on Friday.
Assistant District Attorney Lisa M. Pellegrini argued that Robert Ferrante, and his attorneys do not have standing to challenge most of the search warrants, subpoenas and affidavits in the case and the ones they can challenge were valid and should not be suppressed.
Autumn Marie Klein, 41, a UPMC neurologist, died on April 20, 2013, three days after she was poisoned. Ferrante, 65, of Schenley Farms is scheduled to stand trial on Sept. 22. A jury from Dauphin County will hear the case.
Ferrante's attorneys Bill Difenderfer and Wendy Williams asked Allegheny Common Pleas Judge Jeffrey A. Manning to throw out a majority of the evidence collected against their client. They claimed there was not enough evidence to obtain the search warrants and that Ferrante's constitutional rights had been violated.
During their investigation of Klein's death, detectives searched Ferrante's home, offices at UPMC and the University of Pittsburgh, email accounts that belonged to him and Klein, computers, phones and his car. Pellegrini wrote in the 86-page response that Ferrante did not have a reasonable expectation of privacy for the items searched and seized by police and that they were connected to the investigation.
In response to the challenge of the search of Ferrante's car, Pelligrini wrote that the judge who signed the search warrant "made a practical, common-sense determination that there was a fair probability that evidence of Dr. Klein's death by cyanide poisoning would be found in a vehicle driven by the last person to see her conscious, who also had access to cyanide in his laboratory."
Judge David R. Cashman placed a gag order on the case meaning attorneys on both sides would not comment.

|Marik Militia
The 23rd Marik Militia was based on Keystone in 3067. [1]
The 23rd Militia contained the survivors of the 8th Marik Militia after that unit was destroyed on Wisconsin in 2838. The defending 8th Militia was betrayed by traitors in the unit, allowing Liao saboteurs to poison their water supply. The 8th wasn't able to resist the attacking Justine's Grenadiers, and many Militia troops were captured. Unfortunately only 25% of the captured troops survived.[2]

The 23rd played no role in Anton Marik's revolt. They spent most of their time garrisoning Merak and Marik. [3]

David Shearer: Jobs that work for you
Labour Leader
18 October
David Shearer: Jobs that work for you
Labour will take concrete steps to ensure that employers are working harder to give Kiwis access to decent jobs and will ensure New Zealanders get the skills they need to participate in the workforce.
"Labour stands for jobs and opportunities. John Key is taking us down a path to fewer jobs, lower wages and our young people looking for better opportunities in Australia. I won't settle for that. I won't accept second best. Under my leadership, Labour will take an active role in creating better jobs and higher incomes."
The Christchurch rebuild is a chance to provide Kiwis with decent jobs and equip our young people with world-class skills, said Labour Leader David Shearer.
"It's estimated that 30,000 workers will be needed for the rebuild – half are likely to come from overseas. Migrant labour is an important part of our economy, but given there are 162,000 Kiwis looking for work, we must give them priority.
"That's why Labour will raise the threshold so businesses prove they've engaged with Work and Income and Industry Training Organisations to give Kiwis the first crack at jobs before bringing in overseas workers.
"Immigration NZ will also have to consider the competitive impacts, particularly on wages and conditions when it considers granting approval to bring in temporary workers."
Labour will also increase training opportunities for
Kiwis by:
• Putting a 'one in a million' condition on companies that secure significant Government contracts to take on one apprentice for every $1million of investment
• Including a training requirement on employers bringing in migrant labour where appropriate
• Paying employers the equivalent of the dole if they're prepared to take on an unemployed person as an apprentice
"New Zealanders want to work. They're crying out for opportunities. But they're disappointed that under John Key, too many Kiwis are out of work, struggling on low wages or heading to Australia.
"I won't accept that. I will lead from the front
because I'm proud of our country and I'm prepared to
back our workers, our businesses and communities," said
David Shearer.

Here's some scoop on Bones from TVLine's Matt Webb Mitovich's weekly column Matt's Inside Line for the week of 1/24/13.
The Bones episode that you and Michael were talking about on Spoiler Alert!, the one dealing with Sweets' childhood, does it have a title yet? Also related to Sweets: Is Danielle Panabaker returning anytime soon? –Ed
I've got a two-for-one special for you, Ed: The aforementioned semi-Sweets episode, "The Fact in the Fiction," is tentatively scheduled to air Feb. 25. But you'll want to also tune in Feb. 11, when Panabaker reprises her role as FBI Special Agent Olivia Sparling. (That episode, "The Shot in the Dark," is the one in which a gunned-down Brennan "reunites" with her mother.)
Bones returns with 8×13, 'Twist in The Plot,' on Monday, January 28, 2013 at 8pm on Fox.

Over the course of a half of an inning, Nyack went from a team that couldn't put a single runner on to a team that looked just as good as any in Class A.
The story of the Indians' 4-3 win over Pelham on Tuesday pretty much tells the story of their entire season to this point.
"We have great potential," Nyack catcher Chuck Olsen said. "We have a collection of great athletes – great players – but sometimes we just don't play to our potential. When we bear down and focus, I think we're a really good team."
Pelham starter Anthony Paterra hadn't allowed a base runner to reach safely entering the fourth inning, but after Austin Cavazzi's leadoff single, his perfect game snowballed quickly into a loss.
Nyack ended up scoring three runs in the inning to take a lead and cool down a Pelicans team which had won eight of nine to start the season.
"It was getting kind of late," Cavazzi said. "We're a team that doesn't really do much in the beginning – at least in our past games – and I knew it was important that we got a base runner on in that inning. If I got on, I knew they could bring me in. I trust the guys behind me."
• With Pelham having taken an early 2-0 lead in the first and Paterra cruising through three innings, Cavazzi got the Indians going with single up the middle for their first hit. That was followed by a beautifully placed bunt single from Ryan Howe, with the runners advancing to second and third on an error. Olsen came up next and laced a two-run single to center on a full count to tie the game. "He had me out in front a little bit, and then two fastballs I fouled off," Olsen said. "I just said, 'Shorten up on 3-2,' and I put the bat right to the ball, made contact and drove it up the middle."
• Jordan Mews added a sac fly later in the inning (Nyack pounded out five hits in the frame, but only ended up with three runs after Olsen got caught trying to stretch his single into a double) to give the Indians a 3-2 lead. And while Paterra was beginning to unravel after an excellent first few innings, Nyack starter Alex Knoebel (pictured to the right) found his groove. He got off to a rough start with Pelham scoring in the first on RBI singles from Rob Nanna and Anthony Manos, but he would only allow one more base runner in the next five innings. "The first round through the order is always the hardest because you're just getting used to these guys and went don't really play them too often," Knoebel said. "I just kept my pitches down, kept the ball on the ground and did my job."
• Knoebel was generating some ugly swing-and-misses with high heat and curveballs that he kept low. He struggled with command a bit in the first and looked like he could be in for a long day, but give the right-hander credit for bearing down and adjusting. "I thought he adjusted a lot better than we did," Pelham coach Jack Plunkett said of Knoebel. "We come up in the first inning and we were aggressive. … After that, he spotted his curveball really well, he spotted his fastball and he started to elevate the ball and got us to swing at some bad pitches."
• Knoebel's final line was: 7 IP, 3 R, 3 ER, 5 H, 2 BB, 5 K, 85 pitches (56 strikes, 29 balls). I asked him what was going through his head in the first few innings while Paterra was mowing his teammates down for Pelham. "That actually drove me to succeed even more," he said. "I just wanted to shove it in their face and show them what I got."
• The Indians added an insurance run in the fifth, which turned out to be crucial. Cavazzi's single was booted in the outfield, which allowed Rob Blinn to score and make it 4-2. "If you look at our stats, we've made too many errors, and that's one of the things that we did not expect coming in having a veteran infield," Plunkett said of Pelham's seconrd costly error of the game. "We didn't think we would make as many errors as we have so far. We knew we would pitch, and we knew we would be in games, but I think we have to clean up some of the errors."
• Knoebel hadn't allowed a hit since the first inning when he came out for the seventh, but the Pelicans showed some fight. Gjon Ljucovic and Joe Bitetto led off the inning with back-to-back singles, and then moved over on Mike Murray's sac bunt. Victor Torres was up next, and he jumped on the first pitch that he saw and hit it deep to center. I've seen some high school fields where that ball might have went out, but Howe did a great job of running it down. I thought it had a chance of getting over his head, but the Nyack center fielder caught it to hold Pelham to a sac fly and maintain a one-run lead. "No, because I saw that kid run during warm-ups," Plunkett said when I asked if he thought it would get past Howe for extra bases. "I thought that maybe it had a chance, but we talked before the inning about not taking any undue risks… We're going to tag up because it's so deep."
• With the tying run on third, Knoebel got the next batter to ground out to short to end the game. "I just kept my composure and continued to do what I did the whole game," he said. "I wasn't taking no for answer about coming out here for the seventh inning."
• Knoebel's bounce back performance overshadows what was mostly an encouraging outing from Paterra (pictured to the left). He was very effective through the first three innings, pitching to contact and keeping Nyack off balance. His final line was: 5 IP, 4 R, 3 ER, 7 H, 0 BB, 2 K, 61 pitches (46 strikes, 15 balls). "I said to the team, 'He's a completely different pitcher from the first time that we started throwing after the holiday break until now,' " Plunkett said. "He's a kid who has really made incredible adjustments. He's worked really hard, and he's developed a curveball… It's a testament to him and his attention to detail."
• Pelham has two of the top pitchers in Class A in Ljucovic and David Wright, but Wright is currently out with an injury to his non-pitching arm. He's expected to be back on the mound soon, but Paterra made his case to fill the No. 3 role in his first varsity start. "We're trying to figure that out right now, but he definitely made a step forward to be that today," Plunkett said. "I was really impressed. My confidence in him has really gone up."
• Plunkett said that Paterra is used to pitching in relief, which probably explains why he tired a bit in the fourth. Here's what Plunkett said he saw: "I noticed his velocity started to dwindle a little bit, and one of the things with Anthony is his stride leg has the tendency to kind of swing it open. When the lower half starts to swing like that, then his upper half opens up a little too early, and that's really his cue. But I think also he was getting a little tired. That's the most he's thrown this year."
• Greg Sigelbaum came on in relief and impressed, allowing no hits and striking out three in two scoreless innings. Arms seem to be plentiful for Pelham — it's a matter of swinging the bats and playing sound defense. "This is all new," Plunkett said. "This was Greg's third appearance. He was throwing with us and his arm was bothering him, so we kind of shut him down. Now, he said his arm feels better."
• Nyack improves to 5-5, while Pelham drops to 8-2. The Pelicans still have one of the best records in a wide open Class A field, while the Indians continue to search for consistency. We've certainly seen glimpses; most notably today's win and a win over defending section champ Harrison. "I think that we can hang with the best of them, we just haven't put it up this year," Cavazzi said. "A lot of our problem is that we don't get it started early enough in the game – we're waiting until the last innings, when it's kind of hard."

Talk about some beautifully designed handsets, but Scandinavian manufacturer Lumigon really is showing off some quality looking Android handsets. Its clean looking exterior probably overshadows the hardware tucked underneath its body. Two of their announced smartphones, the T1 and S1, offers a touchscreen that opens up to reveal a basic T9 keyboard – all the while featuring Android 2.1, 720p video support, HDMI out, FM tuner, and can act as a universal remote. Now you'll be able to literally control your television without having to search for the remote – seeing that you can just simply use your phone to perform the same functions. The first portion of the second quarter will see the availability of the T1 while the S1 won't be released too far afterwards as it will be out by the later end of that quarter. Finally there is Lumigon's E1, which hasn't been seen in photos yet while Lumigon founder Lars Gravesen saying, "E1 is the most beautiful phone I have ever seen during my entire 10 year career in mobile business." If the first two handsets are any indication, we're going to expect a lot out of the E1.

High schools are usually poorly run by a team of out of touch assholes, also known as Principals, counselor, teachers, and ex-Marine drill sergeants (gym teachers). These people seem hell bent on destroying all hope for students through tedious testing, poorly planned projects, educational videos made during the Truman Administration, and text books that mention the Soviet Union on every page.
High school is also the place where the stress of growing up and the stress of fitting in join forces to destroy even the strongest among us. Most of High school is not spent learning but involves trying to find friends who aren't complete douche bags, trying hook up with people of the opposite sex unsuccessfully, combing your hair, buying cloths in the effort that someone will notice you, working out so you will not get your ass kicked everyday, trying desperately to get rid of the zits that have taken over your face, driving a car that a homeless person wouldn't piss in or riding on an over crowed bus while choking on diesel fumes, while people you don't know make fun of you worse then your friends do, and on top of all of that, you must act like nothing is wrong in your life.
The scars of High School last long after graduation day.

Some people consider high school a breeze; others do not. For some it is the most treacherous thing they can think about; for others it is exciting and enjoyable.

A. the best 4 years of their lives
B. good for you
However, in all actuality it is a system of prisons cleaverly decorated with pee-yellow walls, faulty lights, air-conditioners that never seem to be turned on at the right time of the year, and heaters with a blazing high temperature of 55 degrees. There are many elements of high school, but seeing as many have already explained the social aspects, i will dwell annoyingly on the educational aspects.
~school overview~
educational officials, or teachers, "teach", or rather make you memorize facts, figures, rules, and many other things that they claim "will be very useful to you in the future" however, 95% of this information is utterly useless, and completely forgotten the second you walk out of the classroom. teachers usually emphasise becoming an individual, independent, free-thinking, creative member of society by forcing you to conform to their standards.
~Math Department~
teachers teach you about numbers, tables, charts, and other mathmatical things. in the early education years, the information seems relevant enough (multiplication, money, charts etc.) but, proceeding through the school years, the information becomes ludicris and exceedingly diffucult to understand, much less pronounce.
~Social Department~
established to teach about the world around us. the teacher repeats the phrase " we learn about history so we can learn from our mistakes" constantly and overbearingly, while overlooking the fact that no one country really learns from their mistakes, as their is , and will most likely be, outbreaks of war, senseless violence, genocide, and other crimes untill the end of time. this is, however, a decently usefull class (some of the time)
~science department~
the most pointless information that anyone will ever force you to "learn", unless you plan on becoming a scientist, or a science teacher. basic lectures are understandibly important (knowing the difference between a chipmunk and a volcano), but, like the math department, the info. becomes remarkibly useless. Contrary to popular belief, knowing how to classify a rock isn't going to do much for you, unless you plan on becoming a geoligist. Also, knowing that an ice age may happen someday again will not stop the afformentioned ice age from happening. When science teachers aren't dumbing you down with difficult, ultra-specific facts, they are telling you obvious information that you already knew long before they ever told you( the top of the mountain is usually the highest elevation).
~health department~
usually jam-packed with diagrams and gross facts that you will never remember. said diagrams are often pointless, because i don't know too many girls that plan on suddenly sprouting a penis and labeling it.
~foreign launguage department~
usually useless, because the teachers barly know how to speak the language they are supposidly teaching, and it is unlikely that many people will travel to ancient greece and be forced to remember their grammar endings. however, vocabulary words may help you remember other english words.
~english department~
teachers let you speak your inner creativity by forcing you to complete outlined, drawn-out, graded compositions. the formula usually goes something like this :
hard work + creativity = a bad grade
generic words + comformity + writing what they want to hear = a passing grade. and however much the teacher stresses that they want original ideas, they never really do. follow the exact guidelines and revert questions into sentences and you're sure to get a 90% or above.
~gym department~
originally created to keep our young ones fit and acceptable to society. however, as well as the intention may have been (or not been) this never seems to work, as the overweight kids usually find a clever, creative way out of every class. also, by the time you get changed and warmed-up, the dismissal bell has already rung and you are late for your next class, which is usually taught by a mean, strict, and detention-giving teacher. in short, the most exercise you get in gym class is running to your next class. plus, many gym teachers are usually borderlin obese.
In conclusion, you go into high school with friends, dreams, creativity, will to learn, and hope for the world. You come out of high school with no friends, crushed hopes, comformity, and realisation that the world sucks even worse then you once thought. To quote Happy Bunny, "High School Prepared you for the real world - which also sucks."
"Christ it's cold in here!"
"be yourself! (coughwithinreasonofcoursecough)
teacher:" quadratic equations are easy and fun! come on -
x4 + px2 + qx + r = 0 - who's up for it?"
teacher:"wars usually end up in nothing but death and more wars.."
student:"than why do you have a pro-operation iraqi freedom poster on the wall?"
teacher:"this is the marker that they pound onto the tops of mountains to show that it's the highest elevation"
student:"golly gee wilikers- i thought the bottom of the mountain was actually the highest point! silly me!"
teacher: "fill in this diagram on fat composition while i go eat mcdonalds in the back of the classroom"
teacher : "what does quodamodo mean?"
student : "i don't know..what does it mean?"
teacher : "um..eh...uh..DETENTION!"
teacher :" okay. write this 2000 word comp. on what creativity means to you. and be sure to use proper grammer and 10/12 of the following vocabulary words..."
teacher : okay- run 4 laps while i sit, watch you, and yell at you.
billy:"i hate high school...alot."
bobby:"at least your not alone - everyone in the world is forced to go to school to learn how to be a free-thinking, indepentant, yet conforming and timid tool of society. "
billy:"thanks bobby...you really helped..."

The much anticipated remake to Sam Raimi's 1981 film The Evil Dead has finally arrived. Fede Alvarez steps up to the plate as director for Evil Dead (2013) in his first feature length film, after impressing producer Raimi with his short Panic Attack!.
In a remote cabin, five friends find themselves in a whole heap of mess when they try to help junkie Tessa (whoops, I mean Mia) get off drugs. Whilst at the cabin the gang stumble across a Book of the Dead which conjures up an evil presence, which is out to kill them all.
The cast consists of Mia (Jane Levy), who is junkie sister of David (Shiloh Fernandez). The medic of the film Olivia (Jessica Lucas) is accompanied by the teacher Eric (Lou Taylor Pucci), oh and there is David's girlfriend there too – she's the blond one who doesn't say much (Elizabeth Blackmore).
The film consists of classic scenes from the original, gore, masses of blood and screaming. The decision to keep the film old school and not use computer graphics for its gore meant the visuals had to be good. And good they are, this may not bode well for the squeamish as ultimately means there are some pretty intense shots of the gore and knife licking.
Fernandez keeps us on our toes by not clearly choosing a hero, which means we are going back and forth between characters. The issue with this being there is not much in terms of character development, this is why David's girlfriends name is not important nor memorable.
The missing component to this remake is unfortunately, the dark humour. Having been a big part of the original, this may leave a void in die hard fans of the 1981 film.
To Sum Up
As far as remakes go, hardcore fans of the original may be left feeling disappointed with the lack of dark humour. However, the film as a horror does satisfy the craving.
Evil Dead is out in UK cinemas now.
To see a trailer of Evil Dead, take a look below:

Fact Sheet
April 27, 2010
"Together we will strengthen the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty as a basis for cooperation. The basic bargain is sound: countries with nuclear weapons will move towards disarmament, countries without nuclear weapons will not acquire them, and all countries can access peaceful nuclear energy." President Barack Obama
The Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) rests on three interrelated and mutually reinforcing pillars: nonproliferation, peaceful uses of nuclear energy, and disarmament.
As the only legally binding agreement that provides a global
barrier to the spread of nuclear weapons, the NPT is the cornerstone of the
global nonproliferation regime. It enhances the security of every
state, as well as
global and regional security. Articles I and II seek to prevent the further
spread of nuclear weapons. Article III requires non-nuclear-weapon
states to accept
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards to verify that nuclear
activities serve only peaceful purposes. The NPT encourages regional
groups of states to
conclude treaties to assure the total absence of nuclear weapons on their territories.
Five such treaties have been concluded.
Challenges to the NPTs nonproliferation pillar are several and serious.
Robust verification of the NPT depends upon the IAEA having the necessary authorities
and financial resources to fulfill its obligations. The revelation of the A.Q.
Khan networks illicit activities makes clear the potential threat of illicit
nuclear supply to states and non-state actors. Concerns are growing about the
potential for abuse of the NPTs withdrawal clause, particularly if a Party seeking
to withdraw from the NPT is already found to be in violation of its Treaty obligations.
U.S. Actions in Support of the NPTs Nonproliferation Pillar
* Supporting the IAEAs safeguards program and working to ensure
that the Agency has the resources it needs to fulfill its safeguards
* Currently working with eight countries to prepare the infrastructure
necessary to effectively implement the IAEAs model Additional Protocol, designed to require more detailed disclosure regarding a states nuclear
program by providing bilateral and multilateral workshops.
* Working to revitalize international safeguards technology and expertise through
the U.S. Next Generation Safeguards Initiative.
* Bringing our Additional Protocol into force in January 2009 and encouraging
all other states to do likewise.
* Addressing Irans non-compliance with its NPT and IAEA safeguards obligations and North Koreas
announced withdrawal from the Treaty after violating its NPT and IAEA safeguards
* Working with concerned NPT Parties to identify effective mechanisms to dissuade
both violation of the Treaty and subsequent withdrawal.
* Implementing a comprehensive system of export controls for material, equipment,
and technology that could be used for nuclear explosive purposes.
* Meeting our^ obligations under UN Security Council Resolution 1540 which,
among other things, requires all States to adopt and enforce effective laws
prohibiting proliferation, and supporting the efforts of other states to meet
* Strengthening cooperative international nonproliferation efforts such as
the Proliferation Security Initiative and the Global Initiative to Combat Nuclear
Terrorism, and encouraging their growth.
* Having led the initiative to amend the Convention of the Physical Protection
of Nuclear Materials to cover physical protection of nuclear materials in domestic
use, storage and transport and of nuclear facilities.
* Hosting the Nuclear Security Summit in April 2010, as part of President Obamas
initiative to secure all vulnerable nuclear materials within four years.
* Signing and ratifying the protocols to the Latin American Nuclear-Weapons-
Free Zone (NWFZ) and having signed the protocols to the South Pacific and African

A comparison between Christian and African traditional paradigms of reconciliation and how they could dialogue for the benefit of South African society.
Nolte-Schamm, Claudia Margarethe.
MetadataShow full item record
This dissertation seeks to compare paradigms of reconciliation in African tradition (including African indigenous religion and culture) and Christianity, in order to enhance the reconciliation process in South Africa. The aim is to enable and promote dialogue between African tradition and Christian tradition, with special reference to the reconciliation paradigms they offer. In order to accomplish this, the first step taken is to establish what African tradition has to offer in terms of reconciliation resources. African traditional religion, philosophy and anthropology are identified as providing a conceptual basis for reconciliation. Certain African traditional legal resources as well as African indigenous ritual resources are also considered able to contribute to social reconciliation. The next step in the dissertation is to establish what the Christian faith tradition has to offer in terms of reconciliation paradigms. The following resources available to, and stemming from, Christianity are discussed: reconciliation in the Bible; the narrative of the cross and the resurrection; the inter-linked concepts of sin, repentance and forgiveness; the church as reconciling community and institution. After having elaborated on certain reconciliation paradigms lodged in both African tradition and Christianity, the next step is to explore ways in which these paradigms interact. In some respects, they are found to clash and disagree because of their differences and the discontinuities between them. Yet in significant ways they indeed connect to and complement each other. This dissertation seeks to highlight points of agreement and connection between the paradigms of reconciliation provided by African tradition and Christian tradition. Moreover, it seeks to illustrate that the two cultural and religious traditions could interact fruitfully for the benefit of South African society. A concrete example of such positive interaction and mutual enrichment is brought forward, viz. a "new" ritual of reconciliation that combines resources from both traditions.

Audience are now made aware of the role Matthew McConaughey's character plays in the film and who Jessica Chastain portrays.
The first full trailer of "Interstellar" that gives away its super-secret plot has been released. Compared to the teaser released last year, the new one sheds more light into Matthew McConaughey's role, the problem that humankind faces and the characters' personal dilemmas.
Coming from Christopher Nolan, the science-fiction project was kept under wrap for years before the synopsis was released. It chronicles the adventures of a group of explorers who make use of a newly discovered wormhole to surpass the limitations on human space travel and conquer the vast distances involved in an interstellar voyage.
McConaughey's character is revealed in the trailer as a well-educated man, a trained pilot and an engineer. Michael Caine's character tells him that mankind "isn't meant to save the world" but meant to leave it in the wake of a natural disaster that would stop food production on Earth.
Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain's characters are not highlighted in the trailer that first debuted at the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum last week. However, there has been a speculation that Chastain will play the adult version of Mackenzie Foy's character aka Matthew McConaughey's on-screen daughter. As seen in the trailer, Chastain's character wears the same jacket that her father wears before leaving Earth.
"Interstellar" will open in U.S. theaters November 7.

"I think Australia can take heart from the fact that England did so well playing India in their own backyard. It made you wonder if India's spinners are any better than what we generally face around the world."
-- Former Australian skipper Allan Border
In the past, if cricketers were asked what they feared most when preparing for a tour of India, their answers would vary, from the alien conditions, the infamous Delhi Belly, the crowds, the traffic, the heat to dehydration. These were all things to be feared. But there was one constant at the top of the list: the spinner.
You would have men around the bat, balls turning and bouncing, the odd chirp from the keeper and the close-in fielders, tons of leg-before appeals, no DRS and, of course, a pitch that became deadlier as the match wore on.
Then came the spinner himself. Battle-hardened, he would have bowled on Indian pitches for years, he knew the line he had to bowl and how he had to exploit the conditions to the fullest. Vinoo Mankad, Subhash Gupte, Dilip Doshi, Jasu Patel, Erapalli Prasanna, B Chandrashekar, Bishen Singh Bedi, S Venkatraghavan, Maninder Singh, Anil Kumble, Harbhajan Singh... it's an illustrious list indeed, reeking of raw quality.
But now, as Australia prepare to take on India are they truly afraid of India's spinners?
There have been 24 ten-wicket hauls in India-Australia Tests - 13 by Australia's bowlers, 11 by Indian. Harbhajan Singh, alone, has three of them. But do the Aussies view him as a threat?
He may have 408 wickets from 99 Tests at an average of 32.27 and a strike rate of 68.1, but Harbhajan must be feeling like a junior going into the Test. His bowling lacks the fizz of old, he darts the ball in and that isn't something that would have escaped the notice of the Australians.
Then, we come to Ravichandran Ashwin. He has played four series' so far: Against West Indies, he took 22 wicket @ 22.90 and against New Zealand, he took 18 wickets @ 13.11. But when he came up against tougher opposition, he faltered badly. Against Australia in Australia, he took 9 wickets @ 62.77 and in the recent series against England, 14 wickets @ 52.64. It is a record that is riddled with inconsistencies. His lack of guile stands out in the longer format and having faced him comfortably in Australia, Clarke and Co won't rate him very highly.
In a recent interview, Bishen Singh Bedi spoke about Ashwin's bowling: "He tries out so many variations while he is bowling - going round the wicket, changing the angle, the carrom ball. To me, it's a sign of him having no plan. He tries out everything hoping that something will work. He doesn't have confidence in his stock delivery and that cannot be good."
Finally, we move on to Pragyan Ojha. He is an sub-continent specialist - having played all his Tests in India, Sri Lanka and Bangaldesh. He is accurate but if you can hit him off his line -- as Kevin Pietersen showed us during the Test in Mumbai -- he doesn't have a comeback. He was India's best bowler against England but even then his 20 wickets came at 30.85 runs apiece. After 20 Tests, despite playing all of his Tests in the subcontinent -- his average is already 31.62.
So India has spinners averaging 31.62 (Ojha), 32.41 (Ashwin) and 32.27 (Harbhajan) as they prepare to take on Australia. The visitors, at the most, might respect their reputation to begin with but as the series wears on, they will hope to dominate.
Many have wondered why Dhoni has asked for turning tracks so often in the past. The answer to that may simply be because he doesn't believe his spinners are good enough to win matches on fair wickets.
They are not a patch on India's past greats - not yet anyway - and without a 'helpful' wicket to aid their efforts, they don't stand a chance. That is the perception that India's spinners will fight in this series. They are fighting to prove that deserve a spot in India's team on merit. They are fighting to prove that they belong at this level.
And even though the Australians aren't afraid right now, Dhoni will be hoping that by the end of the series, the spinners would have given fear a new meaning for the Aussies.

Pupils from Baston House School in Bromley joined other children and young adults for the Autism's Got Talent at London's Mermaid Theatre.
They were among 550 people who came from across the UK, Eire and Italy to appear and support the show which is now in its third year.
Celebrities guests included Carrie and David Grant who have two children on the spectrum, Debbie Moore OBE founder of Pineapple Dance Studios and clothing and Jordan Lee Davies, finalist from The Voice from Team Will.I.am who has just secured a role in Les Miserables.
Anna Kennedy OBE, who founded Baston House School, launched the event to showcase the musical and dance talent of children and young people on the autistic spectrum.
The youngsters spent 10 hours running through their routines on May 10 before they were ready to perform before friends and family.
"In a little under 10 hours we were able to transform an empty theatre into a vibrant show, bringing together amazing acts," said Anna, mother of one son with autism and another with Asperger's Syndrome.
"Everyone who came to see the show were blown away by the talent of the performers. This for many of the performers is the highlight of their life and is a platform to showcase what individuals on the spectrum can really achieve.
"People on the autism spectrum are not second class citizens and are entitled to make their mark in the world like everyone else!"

"That was painted by the man who taught me to design and draw, a wonderful fashion illustrator named John Gould,'' says Leanne Whitehouse, pointing at a large abstract acrylic, as she greets me at the door with a warm smile, her puppy, Lu Lu, jumping about.
The dog is named, naturally, after a handbag designer. Her previous dogs were similarly named Fendi, Nina and Coco.
It's not terribly surprising to find the fashion industry luminary's Woollahra property is the epitome of taste, its white walls dotted with notable art works and souvenirs of travels. The 56-year-old has almost single-handedly guided a generation of Australian fashion designers, including Akira Isogawa, Alex Perry, Lisa Ho and Camilla and Marc.
Whitehouse pours tea in a motherly fashion as she relaxes on the tree-lined balcony.
''Ah good, now … I can bring out my toys!'' she says, referring to a bucket of raggedy soft toys for Lu Lu with whom she travels between her homes in Melbourne and Sydney and a country retreat near Crookwell, in the southern tablelands.
''My Melbourne house is 50 times more modern,'' she says, ''but my farm is definitely country farm-style with pale lemon walls and pink-checked curtains on the inside of white cupboards.''
When Whitehouse moved to Crookwell a decade ago, neighbours laughed at her taste.
''It's a modest farm so the neighbours thought I was mad when I moved in and bought lots of chandeliers!''
Whitehouse's choices are steeped in her childhood and a transience stemming from countless moves across the country every time her father, who worked for an American corporation, was promoted.
She says she doesn't really form an attachment to places or things, admitting she'd be happy to style a house and move on every few years, as long as Lu Lu came along.
''I was born in Perth and I live between Melbourne and Sydney - every promotion dad had meant a transfer,'' she says.
''I went to an enormous number of schools, but as I had a twin sister, I always had a friend.''
Barbie was absolutely my inspiration.
And, while she can't quite put her finger on her influences - citing a Norwegian grandmother with a flair for design - Whitehouse credits a bit of plastic with inspiring her career. Granted, it's a very famous piece of moulded plastic.
''Barbie was absolutely my inspiration,'' she says without a hint of a smile. This is a woman lauded internationally by the fashion industry, who has worked with, among others, John Galliano through her relationship with Accademia Italiana, in Florence.
''I knew at four or five years of age I wanted to be a designer and I knew exactly what I wanted to do.
'' I had a calling and I spent my childhood making Barbie doll dresses and drawing pictures of clothes.
''I used to go to school with all the Barbie clothes I'd made. I could sew and make a pattern but I preferred drawing.''
And draw she did, until, aged 16, she made it to design school, then known as the National Art School, at East Sydney. Within three years she was teaching at nights and by the time she was 28 she was the full-time acting head teacher.
''I found my home there,'' she says. ''I think my path was absolutely guided - that I should have that path to do what I'm doing today.''
There were a few years in which she strayed from that path. Waking up one morning questioning if she was ''going to die'' in the old building, Whitehouse sold her belongings and headed to the then-dangerous and not-so-glamorous New York.
After a series of life-threatening incidents she sought frivolity and sunshine in Jamaica, where she became a windsurfing champion.
''It was a lovely period,'' she says.
But it was when she returned home and had her daughter, Billie, now 26, that she really hit her stride.
''I remember thinking, when I wanted to leave Billie's father when she was one, 'How do I take a child out of all of this? This has got to work.' That's the bulldozer energy you get when you have to provide for a child,'' she says.
''There was no choice. That was that and it was time to get on with it. I realised very quickly that I needed to start a business - my day care cost $450 a week more than what my take-home pay from TAFE was - so I thought, 'How am I going to take care of day care and rent and food?'''
So, with $1300 in her bank account, she put a small ad in a magazine (''it was all I could afford with that money'') and 25 people responded. Of that group, 24 people gave her money to start a school.
''I remember interviewing all these kids with Billie bouncing on my lap in a small rented cottage.''
When asked what gave her the courage to back herself, Whitehouse is assured: ''I'd had a long time teaching designers and we sent 1000 students away a year as we couldn't fit them in the National Art School, so I knew there was a market. I thought, 'I've got this opportunity and I'll write the syllabus and curriculum.' And back then there was no accreditation required!
''The money I got from these kids' deposits was more money in the bank than I'd ever had - and I promised the premises would be somewhere nice,'' she says.
The school opened in 55 Liverpool Street with desks and sewing machines Whitehouse bought at auction. ''I carried the sewing machines in. That was the beginning of it!''
Now in its 25th year and with 600 students - a huge reunion is planned for next year - the premises is a state-of-the-art, seven-storey block in Surry Hills.
The Whitehouse Institute of Design now has a Melbourne campus that formed the backdrop to the Foxtel reality program Project Runway. And there are plans to expand into Indonesia and elsewhere in Asia.
The school, she says, could expand ''virtually anywhere in the world'', though she shrugs at the idea of internet degrees.
''Surroundings matter,'' she says matter-of-factly. ''Sitting in a car in a high-rise carpark trying to blog something is not inspiring.
''It is colour and shape and form and texture and all those beautiful elements that make up the excitement of good design.
''It's the hands-on stuff that gets you going.''
Expansion of the institute remains firmly on the cards, though.
''The last time I felt a little stale, we opened in Melbourne, which has been an amazing success,'' she says.
''In my mind's eye I didn't have a picture of what it would be like, but now I have a picture it could be a lot bigger, business is exciting and design education is exciting and education in Australia is exciting.
''There are so many young, entrepreneurial, far-thinking people who challenge your every thought; these kids are amazing.''
Having just stepped off a plane from a convention in San Francisco, Whitehouse's enthusiasm is palpable. But her farm is where her heart is. The place from which she draws her strength.
''It's there I'm home,'' she says. ''Even if it's lonely mostly, I love to go to the farm, I love working with cattle, I love being on the tractor.
''I love being in the garden - it's a hard physical slog there, but it's just beautiful.''
