Bramfield is a village and civil parish in the East Hertfordshire District of Hertfordshire, England. Nearby settlements include Hertford, Waterford and Stapleford. Bramfield's church is dedicated to St. Andrew.
A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Bramfield from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:
Bramfield was a detached parish in the Cashio Hundred which covered, for the most part, parishes further west. (See the outline map on the Cashio Hundred page.) By the 19th century it was in the Hertford Registration District and Poor Law Union, administrations covering a much more local area than Cashio. It was part of the Hertford Rural District from 1894 until 1974 and is now considered to be in East Hertfordshire.

Roma's Cup triumph leaves owners pondering sale
ROME, May 25 (Reuters) - AS Roma's Italian Cup final victory may be the Sensi family's last triumph as owners amid renewed speculation that billionaire financier George Soros is close to buying the Italian club.
A 2-1 win over Inter Milan on Saturday brought a modicum of revenge for Roma, who were beaten to the Serie A title by Inter on the final day of the season last weekend.
Roma, who have played some of the most attractive soccer in Europe this term, also went further than other Italian clubs in the Champions League when they reached the quarter-finals.
Their success has left 81-year-old president Franco Sensi and daughter Rosella, the chief executive, mulling whether now would be a good time to sell and allow the club to possibly hit new heights with fresh investment.
'It is a victory for the president. Now is the moment to party,' Rosella told Rai television when asked after the match about a possible sale.
Media reports have said Rosella is the most reluctant in the family to sell, having previously seen off other interested parties.
Representatives of 77-year-old Soros, from his global sports investment arm Inner Circle Sports, have held discussions with Italpetroli, the majority shareholder of Roma controlled by the Sensis.
A deal looked possible last month with the share price surging higher but when Roma suddenly put themselves back in the title race, talks were put on hold until the end of the season.
An Italpetroli statement on Friday, one of several in recent months, said no show of interest or offer had been received from Soros and that no agreement had been reached.
However, the statement was worded differently from previous press releases, sparking media speculation a deal could be sealed early this week with the club sold for €283 million and Rosella Sensi staying on the board.
Another statement issued shortly before Saturday's final tried to dampen the speculation.
'No sale process is underway. No meeting is foreseen between representatives and those of Inner Circle Sports to finalise an agreement for the sale,' the Italpetroli release said.
Roma coach Luciano Spalletti failed to halt the rumours in his post-match interviews.
'I must try to improve my English because I have problems,' he told reporters when asked about a possible sale to U.S.- based Soros, who was born in Hungary.
Several foreign investors have bought clubs in the English Premier League, the world's richest, in recent years.
Manchester United are owned by American tycoon Malcolm Glazer while Chelsea, beaten by United in Wednesday's Champions League final, are bankrolled by Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich.
Few clubs outside England have been the target for investors but Roma would be relatively cheap, has a loyal fan base and has good growth potential.
Bologna, who play in Italy's second division, are also interesting an American investment fund, their president Alfredo Cazzola has said.

Formula One Teams' Association set to take advice on bidding for slice of CVC's F1 pie.
- Home
- MotoGP
- Championships
- Forums
- CrashTV
- Live
FOTA chairman Martin Whitmarsh has revealed that F1's teams are actively proceeding with the possibility of acquiring a stake in the sport by engaging advisors to run the rule over suggestions of a buy-in.
The McLaren team boss told Britain's Independent newspaper that DC Advisory Partners had been asked to evaluate the relative risk and reward of the teams approaching commercial rights owner CVC in order to cement their involvement in the future of the sport. The company, which operates Europe-wide, will also assess other options for FOTA over the next few months, amid speculation that Rupert Murdoch's disgraced News International operation could be interested in taking over the commercial side of the sport.
CVC maintains that it is not interested in selling any of the rights it acquired in 2006, but Whitmarsh remains convinced that the time will come when the investment company will look to offload its investment..
"At the end of the day, F1 is owned by venture capitalists and one would suspect that they can't hold the sport in their funds ad infinitum," he said, before admitting that the majority of those involved in running the teams were not best placed to advise on the rights and wrongs of taking control of the sport itself.
FOTA is expected to make a bide for greater control of both the running and revenue of the sport when it comes to agreeing terms on a new Concorde Agreement at the end of next year. The suggestion that it may look to acquire at least a portion of CVC's stake was first mooted by Williams chairman Adam Parr earlier this year.

"Sparky personae, elegant–and sexy–scenes, and reflections about real bodies and adult relationships mingle and complement one another in this clear, witty second effort from Hazelton."
Publishers Weekly
"Dear readers, do your poetry jones a favor: appreciate the choices Rebecca Hazelton has made in these fine poems and get ready to follow a compelling new voice in American poetry."
Matthew Guenette in The Southern Indiana Review
"Much of Hazelton's work sounds like a girl whispering into the ear of her very best friend: half pretty, tinkling, and half stolen, secret."
Emily Temple, Flavorwire, "The Best of the Best New Poets 2011"
Fair Copy establishes Rebecca Hazelton as a poet of subtle language and rich emotional clarity, a poet who can dip every word in glitter without sacrificing the underlying darkness surrounding her innocent, curious, wild-eyed speakers. The complexity of her cool, evocative voice and the dynamic line she cuts across gender, genre, and time, cement her considerable talents. "Now only one knot binds my / desire" to see what's to come.
Tory Adkisson, Review of Fair Copy, The Rumpus
What compels here is the tonal estrangement between Dickinson's inaugural line and the weird scene narrated in Hazelton's stanza, which goes on to uncover, letter by acrostic letter, some previously inchoate textures in Dickinson's declarative itself. The enjambment separating "prettiest" from the surprise "abbess," with its wink of near-rhyme, is a snapshot of Hazelton's lyric deftness and density, qualities that she uses to strong and sometimes even thrilling effect in the collection. The microscopically plotted shape-shifting of the tattooed, "girling" monastic is also typical of the book as a whole, which, in Dickinsonian manner, turns on shocks of identity that are inhabited and lost by speakers both contemporary and anachronistic: some women, some men.
Christina Pugh, Fair Copy Review, The Emily Dickinson Journal
"The siren call of Rebecca Hazeltons lush second collection, Vow, is impossible to resist: Jukebox Jewel, princess cut / you were a libretto sung into the smut. The music and fearlessness of these poems, their swing from sexy burlesque decadence to heady emotional resonance, wooed me over and over again. Vow is an extended meditation via exquisite metaphor, sly humor, racy eroticism, and devastating elegy on the complicated nature of desire and domesticity. In these intense 21st century love poems, Hazleton presents us with a uniquely embodied poetics that refuses to separate pleasure from danger. Vow is as captivating as it is fierce."
Erika Meitner
"From one of the best young poets writing in America, the poems in Vow are brainy, half-feral, sad, and sensuous, and often all at once. How astonishing! Hazelton's work seems lit from within what we call brilliant."
Alan Michael Parker
"Rebecca Hazelton's poetry is witty, uninhibited, and dense yet full of breath. To read her work is to take a ride on the carnival's Scrambler, arms up all the way. These poems hint at a love triangle in which there are no winners. Vow is one of the best second collections I have read in a long time."
Sandra Beasley
"Hazelton rips out the raw insides of domestic life and holds them out for us to find omens in, like animal entrails or tea leaves."
Paige Quiñones, Review of Vow in The Journal

Definitely would recommend
Extremely friendly staff, internal décor furniture and equipment all of a high standard.
Nice bar, restaurant and a quiet location on the outskirts of the City- very handily placed away from the inner-city hustle and bustle. Enjoyable freshly cooked breakfast on departure. All in all a very enjoyable stay.

Jacobean: the era of the last refurb.
The positives first: The continental section of the breakfast was fine.
The English side was ok and coffee was plentiful. The staff were friendly. The hot water was exactly that. The hotel was convenient, with adequate parking. All credit should be given to the photographer, as the pictures paint the best possible light on an otherwise tired and dilapidated hotel. The negatives:
It needs an overhaul, which I was informed is happening, gradually. Unfortunately, our stay got off to a poor start, with nobody on reception and no method for calling anyone. After summoning the bar maid , we were given a key on a makeshift ribbon, as apparently the last customers had walked off with the normal key. This was not considered a security risk. The room itself was fine, although a little dark. However, it did look like the cleaner had got tired and sat on the bed after making it.
The last page of the information booklet for the hotel had mould growing inside the plastic sleeve. The bathroom was in dire need of refurbishment and in fact a good clean. There were black mould spores on the ceiling. Tiles around the shower were loose. The taps seemed to have 3 settings: off, trickle or Niagara. The tap/shower attachment should be in a museum, or some hipster's kitsch-laden house. The quality of the cooked breakfast ingredients was poor. It should take pride in local producers and get high quality, locally sourced products instead of what seemed to be budget supermarket products. So, in essence, not the greatest stay. after its refurbishment, it may be a good place to stay: however that needs to happen soon.

Good value
Booked late which is the point of site and got cheap room with breakfast and parking.
Lady who greeted me was excellent and really friendly. Room was ok although bathroom needs redecorating.
Basically cheap room with hot shower, comfortable bed and a good fry up.

Very good
Clean very comfy very cheap value for money execellent
-not near anything pub across road good pint terrible food got a discount it was that bad !
Look elsewhere first
The public areas have been refreshed, but as soon as you go through the doors to the bedrooms you are in a time warp.
I was in room 35. The chinz wall paper is grey and stained. The pink carpet is thread bare. The bathroom has cracked wall tiles, missing grout, a mixer shower that runs off the taps. The room has not been decorated in years. Even the hotel room folder is ripped in half to try and disguise the fact it has changed names some time ago. Cleanliness is very poor!

Why would an employee come home and post on Facebook that she hates her job and boss (with a fair amount of specificity)? Is it the same reason that someone feels comfortable sending sexually charged messages and photos on Twitter to strangers? What about calling-in sick to work while posting pictures of the beach on Facebook? Or, what makes a person post defamatory comments "anonymously" in a chat room? Why do some people feel comfortable saying things in an e-mail that they would never say face-to-face? Lawyers are often charged with either helping to avoid or fixing problems caused by these—and other—scenarios. As with many legal issues, it may come down to understanding basic human psychologies that lead to seemingly aberrant behavior.
One explanation as to why some people do things using technology that they wouldn't do in person could be the so-called "online disinhibition effect." (To see an explanation in detail and the related six principles, as well as proper attributions, click here to read about it on Wikipedia.) One of the principles of the online disinhibition effect involves the feeling of anonymity. In some forums, such as chat rooms, a user does not have to divulge their identity and, in fact, often provide false credentials during a registration process. This can make a person feel protected and possibly more likely to say things that they would not normally say in person.
Similar to anonymity, invisibility creates a sense for the user that no one is watching and, therefore, it is easier to—for example—send a bizarre e-mail from home late at night. Further, unless you are on Skype or another audio/video messenger, no one will see body language or hear the intonation of the voice.
One more principle of the online disinhibition effect involves asynchronicity. The general concept is that some technologies, message boards and chat rooms, for instance, allow a person to make comments without receiving or reviewing replies. This creates fewer inhibitions as a person signs-in, drops an "emotional bomb," and then logs out without having to, at least immediately, deal with the aftermath.
What is the moral of the story for companies? It may simply be the realization that while there are certain things that can be done to modify or suggest behavior, we won't be able to completely avoid the problems provided by technology. And, moreover, the benefits of technology still clearly outweigh the risks. But we can still find solutions understanding the underlying causes.
Training can help educate both employees and employers, especially by providing real-life examples of text messages, instant messages and social media sites "gone wild," and the often-painful results. From the employer's standpoint, the creation of social media policies and training for both management and employees is helpful and often warranted. One thing is certain: Because technology often allows us all to feel disinhibited, people will continue to say things that they would not say in person.

Community newspapers are unique creatures in the printing world.
When print publication reached its peak and took a southern nose dive in the early aughts -- leaving the massive metropolitan outlets to shed staff and cut pages -- media scholars and moguls scratched their heads. They couldn't figure out how these small-circulation, local-specific, mom-and-pop papers seemed to be getting along without them.
One of the most memorable places I've ever been is the House of Anne Frank in Amsterdam. One of the most startling lines I have ever read in any book was the quote in Anne Frank's book The Diary of a Young Girl that read: "I do believe that deep within his (her) heart, every person is good." She made this statement as she was being hunted down by the Nazis.
Our kids are not perfect. Neither are parents for that matter. I believe with my entire being that my faith in Jesus Christ, and the truth of the scriptures has been the key to just about everything I have ever done right as a father.
Occasionally, I will see someone whose height catches my eye. It doesn't happen very often though, because I live with tall people. So, if someone appears tall to me, that means they are extraordinarily giant like.
At 6'4", hubby is a full foot taller than I am. For years, he was the tallest in the family until our son bypassed him, topping out at 6'6". Our daughter tried to catch up, but stopped growing at just over six foot. None of them play basketball, but thank you for asking.
Hey there, Oldham County!
A few of you have already met me, but for those who haven't, I'm the new sports guy.
Let me share some things about this new guy.
As I finished up my seminary training and entered into ministry I was full of questions about the authority of scripture. Regrettably, I would pretend parts were not there that I didn't like, "de-mythologize" other parts that seemed to be based on unscientific world views or superstition, and explain away parts that I disagreed with. With my background in Hebrew and Greek I could even overwhelm anyone who might disagree with me through my brilliance. All this fed my arrogance which made me a much less effective minister than I imagined in my own mind.
I'm not really a fan of goodbyes.
No one ever knows how to finish one, there's always awkwardness and it's just really a difficult situation altogether.
And it's not much easier when you have to put it in print.
If you haven't guessed by now, this is my goodbye as editor of The Oldham Era. Rest assured, I'm leaving the place in great hands. Publisher Melissa Blankenship will still be at the helm, as will reporter Taylor Riley.
I've always been a planner. I have a precise schedule in my head, a physical copy in a spiral-bound book and several alarms set in my phone. I guess you could call it a control problem, but I would call it preparedness.
I plan down to the minute of my day.
This is when I have to be at work. This is when I eat. This is when I go to the gym. This is when I go to sleep.
I even plan in my personal life. A phone call goes out to my mom at 5 p.m., my best friend at 6 p.m., dinner with friends at 7 p.m., favorite show at 8 p.m.

Let's talk about your plants' basic needs so they may flourish and grow healthy, promoting longevity.
The number one basic need of any plant is light. Many plants such as Irises, Roses, and trees require full light. Other plants such as Azaleas, Rhododendrons and Hosta, require little direct light or shade. Whichever type of plant, the leaves need light because they are the plant's food factory and light is the power source that helps them manufacture food from air and soil.
Last week, many of our schools celebrated Engineering Week with innovative projects and guest speakers. This is reflective of the emphasis on STEM — science, technology, engineering and math — across the country as we look ahead to a future in which one million STEM jobs will be available by 2018. However, the United States is projected to only graduate 200,000 students qualified for those same jobs.

Section 20
Its People and Institutions as I knew them about Sixty Years ago.
Wednesday, July 28, 1897
While shadows and darkness oer my landscapes are cast,
And visions of sadness rise thick oer my way,
Bewildered, I wander oer scenes of the past
Recalling the years of my schoolmates in play.
The journey of many is finished ere this,
Some early in life and some later in years
And many, no doubt, in the fulness of bliss,
And some it may be, through the valley of tears.
The roll I might call, but I dread the reply,
The answer for many, reported would be
"Theyve finished their work and have said their good-bye,
Dont call for them here, for theyve crossed the Dead Sea."
Their names have I pondered and numbered them oer,
Their haunts have I searched and the woods where we played;
In vain is my search for I find not a score,
The currents of time such a chasm has made.
In honor of those whom I now recollect,
Lamented and gone to the bourne of the blest;
In tribute of sorrow my pen shall erect,
Memorials here that shall tell of their rest.
The Shaws in the east, I know them so well
Havilah and David my seniors in years,
Who lived on the farm near the book and the dell,
Theyve crossed the dark valley of sorrow and tears.
The Websters were here; William, Mary and Jake,-
Ive played with them oft in the hide and go seek,
They sleep in repose till the trumpet shall wake
The dust in their graves and they come with the meek.
The Killams on the lane in the distance remote;
Payzant, I remember, to Jesus has gone,
His early departure in sorrow I note,
From labor he rested in lifes early dawn.
Again on that lane with the grass overgrown;
The farm and the home of the Crockers were there,
And Sarah and Rachel, two sisters well known,
But Zeph early closed his short journey of care.
The Woodworths Amanda and Ermina too
The daughters of Dudley, who lived on the hill;
And Rachel out west and her lone Elihu,
Repose in their slumber, their names fragrant still.
And Annie and Ebie, the Brydens at rest,
And little Nehemiah to me most dear,
The son of the Squire from his home in the west;
I think of them now in the bright shining sphere.
And Annie, my sister, the truest of girls,
Her life of devotion, a volume of grace,
More treasured by me than an ocean of pearls
Mid blooms of the orange she finished her race.
Now these and the others Ive failed to recall,
Companions at school in my study and play,
Be this epitaph here inscribed for you all;
"Well meet here again in the great rising day."

WASHINGTON -- Jack Lew, President Barack Obama's likely nominee for treasury secretary, is a premier federal budget expert who would take the helm of the government's main agency for economic and fiscal policy just as the administration girds itself for a new confrontation with congressional Republicans over the nation's debt and deficits.Obama is expected to nominate Lew as early as Thursday, continuing to put a second-term imprint on his Cabinet by choosing yet another close ally for a key government post. A year ago, almost to the day, Obama appointed Lew as his chief of staff, taking him from his perch as director of the Office of Management and Budget into the White House's tight inner circle. In selecting Lew to replace Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, Obama not only would be picking an insider steeped in budget matters but also a tough bargainer. Some Republicans complain that Lew has been unyielding in past fiscal negotiations. If confirmed, Lew would assume the post in time for the administration to tangle anew with Republicans over a confluence of three looming fiscal deadlines -- raising the $16.4 trillion federal borrowing limit, averting automatic spending cuts to defense and domestic programs, and renewing a congressional resolution that has been keeping the government operating. Those three events, if unresolved, would have a far greater negative effect on the economy than the "fiscal cliff" Obama and Congress avoided a week ago. Lew, 57, has often been described as a "pragmatic liberal" who understands what it takes to make a deal even as he stands by his ideological views. "He's a political guy. He didn't get where he is today by being a shrinking violet," said Paul Light, a public policy professor at New York University and an acquaintance of Lew's. "But he's really a doer. He's the kind of guy you want at the table if you want to get something done." One senior Republican senator, Alabama's Jeff Sessions, voiced opposition to Lew. Though Lew may face a tough confirmation in the Senate, he's not likely to encounter the type of stiff opposition that is already mounting against former Sen. Chuck Hagel, a Nebraska Republican whom Obama has tapped to be his defense secretary.

Star Wars: The Old Republic started its first closed beta testing period last weekend as previously announced. Now the schedule of future weekend beta events for the long awaited MMO is up in the air. In a post on the game's official message boards, its senior online community manager Stephen Reid said, "There is no Beta Testing Weekend scheduled for this weekend. There may be further Beta Testing Weekends during September, but we're not going to guarantee it. The weekend that just finished was really our first dry run of Beta Testing Weekends as a whole, and we have plenty of data to crunch, and decisions to make before we start things up again."
One of the reasons behind the delay is that the game's developer BioWare is about to complete a major new build of Star Wars: The Old Republic. Reid states, "As with any new build of the game, we need to get feedback from internal testing and our ongoing Game Testing program before rolling it out to a massive audience. That process takes a while, and that time varies depending on how testing goes."
Any delay for the game's closed beta testing puts the final release date for Star Wars: The Old Republic in question. At the moment publisher Electronic Arts has said that the game will be released sometime in the fourth quarter of 2011. However, as reported by Gamasutra, EA's chief financial officer Eric Brown admitted at the Citi Technology Conference this week that the company's financial guidance does take into account that the game could be delayed into the first quarter of 2012.

Man accused of having child porn
A 32-year-old man is accused of having more than two dozen images of children engaged in sexual acts on a computer disc at his home, authorities said. Jeff Brust, 32, of 1610 Gray Bark Drive in Oldsmar, was arrested Wednesday and charged with five counts of child pornography possession. Detectives began investigating in mid June after a family member became suspicious about Brust's activities and looked at a disc Brust had in a dresser at the home, according to a search warrant filed recently in Pinellas County. The family member saw numerous images of children on the disc — including at least one that showed a girl who appeared to be about 4 years old — and reported it to the Sheriff's Office, the warrant shows. Detectives searched Brust's home on June 21 and seized three discs, eight computer hard drives and two USB thumb drives. On the one disc mentioned by the family member, they found 31 pornographic images of children involved in sex acts with other children and adults. Brust was arrested Wednesday morning as he left his home to go to work at an accounting firm in Hillsborough County that was not identified. The investigation is ongoing. Brust does not have a criminal record in Florida, according to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. On Wednesday afternoon, he was being held in the Pinellas County Jail in lieu of $50,000 bail.

Cute Overload: Tom Hardy Gets Cuddly With A Labrador On The Set Of 'Legend'
Tom Hardy and doggie cuteness today? No. But will I take it and run with it? Yes.Was I expecting some
The actor was spotted on the London set of his movie Legend today, cuddling up with a labrador and getting all sorts of kisses. Is that actually his labrador? The only celebrity dog I know is Orlando Bloom's dog Sidi, but if you are aware of Tom's, tell me!
Fun fact: this actually isn't the first time we've seen Tom being ridiculously adorable with a pup.
He got very cuddly with one on the set of The Drop, or as I like to call it, The Movie Where Tom Hardy Kisses A Puppy. My title is longer, but oh so sweet. Also, if you've ever wanted a really good look at Tom's tattoos–without being distracted by his abs–may I point you in this direction. Enjoy.
Launch the gallery to check out all the photos of Tom and the doggie on set today. He also filmed with co-star Emily Browning and the two got very close. What a lucky girl.

The Resistance factions have pulled the rug from under the feet of the Palestinian Authority, having demonstrated their real weight and impact during the current assault on Gaza. Ramallah has sensed that the Resistance's popularity is soaring, specifically for the benefit of its arch-rival Hamas, while its own popularity has plummeted to new lows a week after several adverse developments.
One look at the events in the city of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank is enough to see why the leaders of the Palestinian Authority have been forced to make an about-face on many of their previous positions. There have been two demonstrations in the city: the first was attended by thousands in support of the al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas' military wing, while the other was attended by a few dozen in support of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.
The Palestinian Authority has adopted a rhetoric that is radically different from previous attitudes voiced throughout its existence. Faced with this new reality created by the Resistance factions, the Palestinian Authority had two options: retreat to the confines of the peace process and denounce the Resistance, but become a pariah in the street in the process; or change its usual tone on the Resistance to contain popular anger and be involved in any agreement concluded between the Resistance and Israel – which would help the Palestinian Authority resolve the crisis of confidence it has with the Palestinian public and end its marginalization, especially at the level of initiatives for de-escalation involving Arab and regional parties.
Until Tuesday, it seemed that the Palestinian Authority was inclined to take the second option.
But it is also important to pay attention to other ulterior motives, because some Palestinian Authority members are no doubt fixated on who will succeed Abbas after he goes. This has prompted them to adopt a discourse that is close to the Resistance and that emotionally engages the Palestinian public. It is worth nothing, however, that Palestinian Authority figures did not gradually move away from criticizing or downplaying Resistance factions, as much as they made a sudden shift from one extreme to another.
This shift appeared in the clear reversal in their political discourse, with the Palestinian Authority adopting a rhetoric that is radically different from previous attitudes voiced throughout its existence. Even Palestinian Authority figures known for their extreme hostility to Hamas have toned down their statements criticizing the Islamic Resistance Movement and its agenda.
"Gaza's demands to lift the siege is the demand of the entire Palestinian people, and not just one particular faction" - Yasser Abed Rabbo, PLO official said. What's more, it would be inaccurate to describe this about-face as an individual phenomenon. To be sure, it is clear that it is the result of a joint decision agreed upon by the leaderships of the Palestinian Authority in meetings behind closed doors, perhaps out of fear of full-scale unrest in the occupied West Bank that would go out of control on account of the Authority's weak attitudes regarding the assault on Gaza in the first week of the war, specifically prior to the massacre in al-Shujayeh.
In that week, the Palestinian Authority was still blaming Hamas for the escalation while defending the Israeli enemy's "right to self-defense," as the foreign minister in the reconciliation government Riad Malki suggested. Secretary-general of the presidency, Tayeb Abdul-Rahim, also made an appearance on Al-Awda TV last week and lambasted Hamas. Abdul Rahim said, "Opening a front to fight Israel is designed to score [political] points against the president," adding that "Hamas's military escalation intends to embarrass the Palestinian Authority as well as Egypt."
When the Resistance made up its mind and rejected the Egyptian-Israeli ceasefire initiative, some leaders in Ramallah railed against Hamas again, blaming it for the bloodshed in Gaza. But after those leaders realized that the Resistance was standing on solid ground, and defending from a position of strength, the Palestinian Authority began to sense its weakness and proceeded to appease the public with a rhetoric praising the Resistance.
This new direction has been led by one of the chief normalizers with the enemy, Secretary of the Executive Committee of the PLO Yasser Abed Rabbo, who has appeared on Palestine TV multiple times with a discourse that is conciliatory toward the aspirations and objectives of the Resistance. On Monday, Abed Rabbo said, "Gaza does not sponsor terrorism. It is an enduring shield against Israeli occupation…woe to us Palestinians if Gaza is defeated."
He continued, "Gaza's demands to lift the siege is the demand of the entire Palestinian people, and not just one particular faction," stressing that neither Hamas nor its weapons should be blamed for what is happening, but that "criminal Israel" must be blamed instead.
Even the president's adviser for religious affairs Mahmoud Habash, who had consistently poured scorn on Hamas and accused it of being subservient to the Muslim Brotherhood's agenda, got on the pro-Resistance bandwagon, proclaiming, "All the Resistance's demands are legitimate." He also said, "The rockets have now reached Tel Aviv, and Israel should expect more."
However, one cannot ignore in this context the fact that the Palestinian Authority has not called for an intifada in the West Bank, and instead continues its security coordination with Israel and prevents demonstrators from reaching the settlements. Political analyst Adel Samara explained this by saying that the change in the discourse led by Abed Rabbo "is only an attempt to take advantage of the situation and lead the confrontation, though the Palestinian Authority is not a party to it."
What about the ambition of these leaderships who want to become major players in any truce agreements? Samara said, "The Palestinian Authority wants a stake in a new agreement without any real effort or role, but this is political opportunism that we have become accustomed to; so much so that it has become a school with its own roots and rules in Palestine."

Fort Bragg new system integrates public works programs
Feb 26, 2010
By Eve Meinhardt/Paraglide
FORT BRAGG, N.C. -- April 1 is not going to be a day of fun and jokes at the Directorate of Public Works. After almost two years of preparation, Fort Bragg is switching to the General Fund Enterprise Business System.
GFEBS will replace over 80 systems that DPW currently uses to maintain various programs across Fort Bragg including the real property system, the financial system and the programs used to track work and service orders. The new system will integrate financial, real property, cost management and performance data into one system.
Fort Bragg is in the second wave of installations to implement the system, which will eventually be used across the Department of the Army.
"Implementing the use of GFEBS will impact every thing that DPW does," said Debbie Dawson, management analyst at DPW who is spearheading the effort to make the switch.
"We have a total of 25,000 total man hours of training for the 314 Fort Bragg future GFEBS users. The leadership is very supportive and knows that a successful transition is our number one priority."
One of the benefits of GFEBS is the ability to see program costs at all levels. By maintaining all the data DPW tracks in one system, Army leadership will be able to easily analyze data and make informed decisions without running numerous reports from different programs.
"With GFEBS Army leaders will be able to see the cost of deploying a brigade to Iraq instantaneously," said Emile Gillin, environmental management systems coordinator, DPW.
The system enables the Army to see the cost of programs at all levels and see the connection between budget and performance. To make this easier, GFEBS also interfaces with the Defense Travel System and other programs currently in use across Fort Bragg.
While change is never easy, DPW is working hard to continue to provide quality customer service during the transition.
"The process is a little painful, but we're still trying to provide the best customer service while we learn the new system and make the change seamless for our customers," said Dewana Kennedy, real property accountability officer, DPW.
Dawson said that the new system is going to change the way DPW does business.
"The system holds a lot of promise for us," she said. "It has a robust maintenance module to allow preventive maintenance data to put in. Plus, it has the ability to do more contract operations systems project management and is able to pull real-time reports. There are lots of positives in our future."

Well, 162 years is a good run…but, sadly, the lowest-common-denominator, hyper-partisan idiocy derailing so much of the media these days seems to have now infected one of our oldest and most venerable American media institutions, the Associated Press. The handwriting's been on the wall ever since conservative ideologue and almost-McCain-employee Ron Fournier moved up the pecking order. But, in the past two days, AP has completely embarrassed itself no less than twice. First, the AP analysis (by some stone-hearted fellow — paging Sinclair Lewis — named Charles Babington) bashed Obama's nomination speech in purely Republican terms. Then, check out Fournier's headline on McCain's grotesque Palin pick: "Analysis: Palin's age, inexperience rival Obama's ." Uh, yeah.
Update: "As many of you know, some political groups and left-leaning blogs have aligned to organize a newspaper letter-writing campaign against AP Washington Bureau Chief Ron Fournier…Below you will find some talking points to help guide you as this issue plays out." The AP issues CYA talking points to its affiliates defending Fournier.

I just started reloading, and have been reloading only for .357 magnum. I've purchased H110, WW296, and 2400 for reloading, since they're all recommended highly. The problem is, although CCI 550 Small Pistol MAGNUM primers are recommended for the H110 and WW296, I reloaded 16.9 grains of 2400 with Hornady 125 grain jacketed hollowpoints using the CCI 550's. I haven't been able to find much data on the mixing of the 550's with 2400. I've made about 100 rounds and I'm wondering whether this batch has to be discarded. Any thoughts appreciated. RobertThe41MagFan, help !

Without knowing which gun you will be shooting those rounds in, it is impossible to give a definite answer. However, in general it is ok to standardize on magnum primers with most .357 Magnum loads especially the slower powders like you are using. Some manuals like Lyman #47 list CCI 550's for all .357M loads. 16.9 gr of 2400 is a medium to high load, depending on which manual you read. So you should be safe if, and only if, you are using a modern strong revolver or rifle. After firing the first round, you should examine the shell for pressure signs.
One bit of advice I would give is to load a small number of rounds when you are working up new loads. If you fired one or two out of your 100 and found excessive pressure signs, you would have wasted a lot of money or would waste at least a lot of time pulling the bullets out to reload. Also, it is always wise to start off on the light side of the listed loads instead of in the middle. You would be surprised how much of a difference in pressure a particular load will produce in one gun compared to another. And the same thing goes for one particular loader vs. another. You might crimp differently, load with a shorter OAL, etc., etc.

Maximum load for a Jacketed 125 grain bullet over 2400 and using magnum primers is 17.7 grains. That is also a factory duplication. So, you are below maximum. Shoot the loads you have made.
I am not a fan of magnum primers in general. Have just about every modern handgun cartridge made and like to keep things as simple as possible, don't want to deal with magnum and non magnum primers. Also, I like using Oregon Trail Cast bullets (the silver bullets) and their bullet guru told me not to use magnum primers with their bullets. There is some chemical compatibility problem. Have some friends to that have been reloading since the time of Jefferson and they have told me not to use magnum primers. I go with the flow and don't use them either.
Hunted lots with Hornady bullets too. Although they performed as advertised, hard and deep penetration. The wound channels are too small and clean. Making tracking almost impossible. The bullets also disintegrates after penetrating 18" or so. I am sticking with cast bullets from now on when hunting.

Don. I go along with Robertthe41Magfan. Most manuals say to use magnum primers with H-110 and WW-296, while some say do, and others say not necessary, for #2400. Maybe so, but I use WW-296 in .44 Mag., and I haven't used a mag primer yet.
I don't use jacketed bullets in either .357 or .44 mag's either. A good hard cast lead bullets does all I'll ever need for game or target shooting. The only time you'll find jacketed ammo in my .357 is when it does house defense duty.
Are mag primers a mistake? I think not. If you worked up your load with them, they,re fine. I use Winchester primers. The boxes are marked "for STANDARD or MAGNUM pistol loads." I imagine they are a bit hotter than standard primers, but not quite as hot as magnum primers. They work for me.

Hey, Don Leo, you are going to be needing a loader's manual. Compared to the big buck you laid out for the press, primers, and powder, you really ought to have few spare bucks to keep from blowing yourself up.
Think of your load bood as life insurance for you, anyone using your ammo, and anybody happning to walk by when the gun blows up. A very puzzled Mikey.

A couple years ago I called up Hodgdon to
ask just this question, specifically for the
H110 powder. Their reply, in my words, is to
ALWAYS use a magnum primer with H110. I have
followed their recommendation.

The first time I used H110 I made up some .357 loads with 125 gr. JHPs and used CCI No. 500 small pistol primers. I ended up with a with a bullet lodged in the barrel of my 686. There appeared to be a partial ignition of the powder in the case with the unburnt powder fused together still in the spent case. I called Hodgdon and they indicated that you should always use magnum primers with H110 in .357 loads. I made the same load again only this time I used CCI 550 small pistol magnum primers and the load shot great. I still use the CCI 500s(non-magnum) primers when I make light .357 loads with W231 but will be inclined to use mag primers with slower burning powders.
Good Luck

ML, I had exactly the same thing happen to me with a 4" GP-100. Same bullet type, same powder, sama primer. I would listen to what the powder manufacturers say and not to what the primer fans say. However, like Paul B., I have never had a problem with Win Large Pistol primers with any powder. I have standardized on them for all LP loads. I still say it is ok to standardize on magnum primers in the .357 Magnum. Assuming you do your loading work properly and carefully, you won't have any problems with them.

yeah I wonder about HS-6? all slow burning
ball powders used in mag loads, which use alot of powder needs that extra long flame to
get it going, 231 if ya use mag primers will
raise pressure fast, Speer has said to quit usingmag primers with 231 and 2400, and some in blue dot,Speer rewrote alot of their loads
on the .357 because of higher PSI to CUP
deveations, I allways use mag primes with 296
good high fps and pressure ok.

Have loaded for about 20 yrs and have always used std Fed primers with my 20-22 gr load of H110 in my 41's. No problems ,but I am interested to see if I am losing velocity with not having mag primers(will ck and see on next loads)( I know load down and work up). Also have loaded max load in 357 with H110 nad 180gr bullets. I am fairly certain that this one underperforms due to std primers (nonmag).But it does go bang everytime

In reply to: The broken link: What has ND's football tradition meant to you? posted by Board Ops
Four decades later, I have a priceless treasure from that investment of 25 cents by my father.
Part of that treasure is the memories that we all share of game-day heroics, the kind of heroics that become frozen in exquisite detail in your memory, the kind that become indelible reference points, the "I remember exactly where I was that day" kind of bookmarks in your life. These include frozen moments such as Clements to Webber against the Bear, Penick going 89 yards straight into the student section against USC, the Trojan horse rolling onto the turf of ND stadium to herald the arrival of the Green Jerseys, Joe Montana overcoming the flu and a monumental deficit in the frozen Cotton Bowl, the scoreboard triumphantly blaring 31-30 against the despised Hurricanes, the Rocket taking a second kick-off to the end zone after General Bo defiantly roared "kick it to him again!", and the smashmouth thrashing we gave FSU in another edition of the game of the century.
But there is something deeper, something more profound involved here than just simple heroics on a playing field. For me, it begins with the ritual that starts every home game, including the reading of excerpts from the preamble to the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, and the singing of America the Beautiful. It ends with the salute of the players to the student body and the stadium singing Notre Dame, Our Mother in unison, as a family. In between those two points lies not just a football game, but a celebration of cherished values and eternal truths. We embrace this university, not just because it's student can run fast and win games, but because it is a moral beacon for us, a communal reference point that guides us, a reminder that faith, country, and family are paramount, and that there is a right and golden path to follow. We love Notre Dame in a way that no other fan of any other university can possibly understand. Such a thing is priceless.
Even more priceless is the way it becomes the tie that binds. Just as my father bequeathed to me a love for Notre Dame, so have I done for my seven children. We have become a very large family, and some of our closest moments have been huddled around a TV screen, banners and flags draped around our family room, hanging breathlessly on every ebb and flow of an important game against a dreaded foe. It is then that we recognize, we feel, we embrace our love for each other, our passion for what is good and right in the world, and our respect for a University that dares to be magnificent example of all of these things.

Like any franchise that's a mega-hit, Neon Genesis Evangelion has a lot of officially-licensed derivative works. The Shinji Ikari Detective Diary is one of them, and it's pretty darn good.
Shinji Ikari is your average high school student who spends most of his day trying not to be noticed. His crew consists of himself, cool-kid-wannabe Toji, and geeky Kensuke (remember him, the short nerd with freckles and glasses who was always into conspiracy theories in the TV series, and whose name hardly any viewer knew?). The latter two are a pair of stooges that get Shinji forced into servitude with the Kaji Detective Agency. Misato and Kaji staff the agency along with Pen Pen, the penguin we all know and love, and … surprise! Not Asuka and Rei, but Kaworu.
So does this mean BL? This means BL, but, unlike the most recent Eva movie, Detective hosts the most mild BL known to womankind — the entirely sub-textual, overly long gazes of musing interest Kaworu is so famous for. And in the first book, it doesn't make any moves … yet. (Sadly.)
When I picked up this book, I expected some sort of Sherlock and Watson (of which I seem to have found a lot this past month, if you are an avid reader here on Unbound Worlds), given Shinji and Kaworu's gentle bromance that permeates their relationship throughout the Eva franchise. However, what I got was slapstick hijinks and witty wordplay, followed by the Eva being incorporated as pokémon-like kami as Kaworu and Shinji go up against the team of Rei and Asuka while solving mundane cases. That's right — the Eva look like people, and they battle for you out in the real world, something like Yu-Gi-Oh!. With the money-making aspect of Misato and the Detective agency, Shinji and Kaworu's experiences almost feel a little Tiger & Bunny.
So, what this boils down to is that you can take this book as an official doujin/fanfic. But it's not the kind of fanfic that rearranges the characters in novel ways and puts them through darkness even worse than in the original series, in order to shed light on unexplored angst. Instead, it's the other kind of alternate universe gen fic — the light comedy, which cleverly re-imagines everyone and everything, and then incorporates favorite series elements in new ways. (For instance, what if Shinji had accidently fallen on Asuka in that famous nude scene, not Rei?)
The book knows what it's coming from and what it's doing; all the fan-favorite characters are there, and amusingly utilized. However, when Eva Unit 01 showed up looking like Dark Mousey, I gave up on it being anything but crack and fluff. (If you want dark AU, you can go through other titles in the Eva manga franchise.)
The artwork is of high quality, if a little on the shojo side — the art tone is light and airy; faces have shojo roundness; there aren't many backgrounds, and what few there are, are stiff and bland. Also following-through on the shojo feel, most of the narrative action comes through conversation, rather than action. So it's crack-fluff AU shojo Eva. Interesting!
Detective Diary is put forth by Darkhorse, which is known traditionally for mature-audience works. But the company also publishes other works in the Eva franchise, thus explaining how such fluff got into its lineup (especially that rare thing, Eva fluff). For a company that produces less than five manga a month, the lettering of both sound effects and bubbles is surprisingly without flaw, and even more importantly, done with artistry. Make no mistake, work has been put into this book, and it is quite fun, if you're willing to not take yourself too seriously. The translation was done by Michael Gombos and edited by Carl Gustav Horn, and it is a special thing — they went all out on Toji's Kansai accent. I'll leave you with a moment from pages three and four to understand just what this book is about:
Shinji: Toji … Kensuke. Are you planning some wacky hijinks for me today? What can I expect out of this? A little nudity…?
Koji: Naw, man… Ya can expect some violence! […]
Shinji: Huh?
Koji: On da for rilla tilla, my brilla.

WASHINGTON — Grappling with a record death toll in an overshadowed war, President Bush promised Wednesday to send more U.S. troops into Afghanistan by year's end. He conceded that June was a "tough month" in the nearly 7-year-old war.
The nation's top military officer agreed Wednesday that more U.S. troops are needed in Afghanistan but said he does not have sufficient forces to send because of the war in Iraq.
Adm. Michael Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said insurgent Taliban and extremist forces in Afghanistan have become "a very complex problem" that is tied to the country's extensive drug trade, its faltering economy and the porous border region with Pakistan.
Mullen said military commanders are looking at the prospects for sending additional troops to Afghanistan in 2009 but that conditions in Iraq would have to continue to improve for that to happen. The war in Iraq has occupied as many as 20 military brigades during the troop buildup over the past year. The military is reducing that force to 15 brigades this year.
"We all need to be patient," Mullen said. "As we have seen in Iraq, counterinsurgency warfare takes time and commitment. … I don't have troops I can reach for, brigades I can reach to send into Afghanistan, until I have a reduced requirement in Iraq."
Roughly 32,000 U.S. troops are in Afghanistan, including 14,000 serving with NATO forces and 18,000 conducting training and counterinsurgency. That's the largest U.S. presence since the war began.
While Bush noted that June was also a tough month for the Taliban, the once-toppled Islamist regime in Afghanistan has rebounded with deadly force. More U.S. and NATO troops have died in the past two months in Afghanistan than in Iraq, which has triple the number of U.S. and coalition forces.
In June, 28 U.S. troops died in Afghanistan, the highest monthly total of the entire war, which began in October 2001. For the full U.S.-led coalition in Afghanistan, the death toll was 46, also the highest of the war.
