Guest Blogger: Why Religious Freedom is Relevant … Why Religious Freedom is the Solution
Samuel Tadros /
The New Year's Eve Attack on a Coptic Church in Egypt has left by the last count 23 churchgoers dead. While the Egyptian security is busy trying to figure out what happened and in the meantime beat the Copts that are demonstrating in anger, the Egyptian public has acted, as it usually does, with denial. The attacks are claimed to be an attack on Egypt's national unity, could not have been carried out by a Muslim or an Egyptian, and in a manner that reflects all the ills of a troubled society has blamed Israel. While Anti Semitism has become the very fabric of political discourse in the country, the current attitudes reflect a more entrenched failure to take responsibility for any action and a desire to bury the problem as deep as possible by denying its existence.
While the actual perpetrator of the crime is responsible for his actions, the attack is the ultimate result of a historical process that is created and maintained by the Egyptian regime, the religious establishment, Islamists and finally society at large. The lack of religious freedom is at the heart of this process. (more…)

Violet the Washington Square Park Hawk - RIP
Today came news that one of the best treats of Washington Square Park, Violet the Red-tailed Hawk, has passed away after undergoing surgery to remove her right foot after necrosis set in. I'd been watching Violet and her mate Bobby from both the park and my window since I moved to the Village in 2009. Above, Violet pictured in March 2010 with nest making materials sitting on 11 Fifth Avenue (The Brevoort). The nest they went on to build on top of 1 Fifth Avenue didn't work out for the pair in 2010 but this past May the couple had a baby Red-tailed named Pip from a nest on NYU's Bobst Library. The NYTimes installed a camera and those who were interested watched as Pip went from a tiny hatchling to a fairly large RTH before it left the nest in early July. I always enjoyed watching them soar over the park (hunting rats) and especially from my bedroom window. Violet will be missed.

SOLEDAD >> A Watsonville man convicted of shooting his 18-year-old friend to death because of a debt in 1977 was released from Salinas Valley State Prison this month, authorities said.
Robert Ackerman, 55, was 18 and on LSD when he plotted to kill school pal Edward Silva, prosecutors said. After being denied parole at least 14 times, a state parole board on March 25 found Ackerman fit to return to society, according to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
Ackerman was released to Tuolumne County on Aug. 15, said Luis Patino, a state corrections spokesman. Santa Cruz County prosecutors Tara George and Jeff Rosell argued against Ackerman's release at the March hearing.
"Based on the horrific nature of the crime, we believe he had a lack of insight into the crime," George said this week.
Silva's family did not attend the March hearing but wrote letters that opposed Ackerman's release.
Ackerman, the son of a Watsonville police lieutenant, owed Silva money in early 1977, authorities said. Ackerman used cocaine in his teen years, and the idea to kill Silva came to him in an LSD dream, according to a witness at his trial.
In January 1977, Ackerman talked a 15-year-old friend into helping him dig a grave in a wooded area off Mar Monte Avenue near La Selva Beach. A few days later, Ackerman lured Silva to the spot to look at marijuana plants.
Ackerman then shot Silva in the back with a .22-caliber pistol while the 15-year-old stood near them. After shooting Silva, Ackerman and the 15-year-old then went skateboarding for a while, then returned to rob Silva and cover the body, prosecutors said.
In the days that followed, Ackerman talked to the boy about why he did it. Ackerman traced "Ed is Dead" in the sand of La Selva Beach.
Not long after that, the 15-year-old later contacted authorities. Police found the body and later found a gun in Ackerman's Watsonville home.
In a trial in September 1977, a jury convicted Ackerman of first-degree murder, according to court records.
"There is a spectrum of killers, and to kill this guy for $30 ... This is a different class of criminal," Santa Cruz County Assistant District Attorney Jason Gill said in 2010.
Ackerman was sentenced to life in prison — but sentencing laws at the time allowed him eligibility for parole after seven years of incarceration.
Prison term
Ackerman was locked up at Pelican Bay State Prison and at Mule Creek State Prison near Sacramento in recent years. He had more than 50 rule violations during his 37 years in prison, authorities said. Yet prosecutor Tara George said he had not been in trouble in prison since 2003.
During parole hearings, a panel considers factors such as the original offense, the inmate's criminal record, his behavior in prison, psychological reports, drug and alcohol history, the inmate's "insight" into the crime and how he has changed.
The parole board also looks at the inmate's plan to support himself outside prison, and the potential threat to the public if he is released.
During the March parole hearing, Ackerman said he improved himself.
"I've learned a lot about addiction since I've been incarcerated. And it affected a lot of my decision making, but the worst thing that it did was it made me kind of like drew a curtain across my morality and my compassion," Ackerman said during the parole hearing. A transcript of the hearing was obtained by the Sentinel this week.
"I just became so selfish and self-absorbed that I didn't consider other people's rights, other people's feelings. And I basically ... just became morally bankrupt," Ackerman said.
In its decision, members of the parole board said Ackerman's age of 55 would reduce his risk of reoffending. Members also said that some psychological evaluations in prison showed he was a "low risk."
The board hinted that Ackerman may return to Santa Cruz County in part because his brother lives in Watsonville and another brother owns a skateboard shop in Santa Cruz where he has been offered a job.
Presiding Parole Board Commissioner Terri Turner told Ackerman at the hearing, "Early on, you did blame the victim and you weren't taking responsibility, so that's changed."
Parole trend
Deputy Commissioner Patricia Cassady, the other parole board member at the March parole hearing, told Ackerman "You just don't pose a current risk to society at this time," according to the transcript.
Now on parole, Ackerman will submit to random drug testing. He is also barred from drinking alcohol, the parole board ruled, and he will also be monitored by State Parole.
Ackerman's parole is part of a larger trend of life prisoners being released in California at a much faster rate than in previous years.
The state governor must approve all "lifer" parolee releases, and Gov. Jerry Brown has affirmed more than 80 percent of parole board decisions in the past three years — allowing nearly 1,400 lifers to be released as of February, the Associated Press reported.
Brown's predecessor, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, authorized the release of 557 lifers during his six-year term, sustaining the board just 27 percent of the time, according to the AP. Before that, Gov. Gray Davis approved the release of just two lifers.
Representatives of Brown's office have said the rise in lifer releases is not directly related to the state's prison crowding problems. However, the decisions are bound by court orders to ease stringent parole requirements, governors' representatives said. Each case is addressed individually, they said.
After Ackerman's parole hearing in 2010, prosecutor Jason Gill said Ackerman was a "dangerous guy."
"If he doesn't understand what he did, then there's a chance he could repeat it," said Gill.

Chicago Lawyer
Author(s): Michael J. PhilippiMike Philippi Reviews one sixtyblue as Chicago Lawyer's Restaurant Critic
Chicago is a great food city. From pork chop sandwiches at Jimmy's, the old Maxwell Street stand that people actually moved to west of the Ryan just south of Roosevelt, to the Barbie caviar staircase at Tru - we have something for everyone.
Restaurants open up nearly every day. Some are great; some are gone. How about the old ones?The ones that every time we go we say, "Man, this is great, why don't I come here more often?" Do we just toss them away? Do we forget about McMahon because of Cutler? I say make them earn their stripes.
I love places that look a little shady from the outside and then open up into Eden. If you do West Randolph then do it all the way to Loomis to one sixtyblue: one of the coolest places in town. A squat brick building framed by a mustard yellow entryway, this Michael Jordan restaurant is a place that you drive up to and your guests say, "Hmmmm, I don't think so." Then they go inside.
The bar is sleek, black and chrome with a comfy couch area. Thursdays are "Burgers, Beers and Beats" nights. Get a serious burger for $4 and listen to the deejay go to work. Try the Bell's beers - yummy in either the Amber or Oberon variety. Or a cocktail. The Ginger Martini tastes like summer - the right combination of sweet, tart and, well, ginger.
A lot has been written about Chef Michael McDonald and it's all true. Okay, he is not the guy from the Doobies, but man can he put out a menu. The theme here is simple, fresh food perfectly prepared.
The bread basket has Doritos in it. Real foodies would call them lavash, but this is a column for lawyers, right? Paper-thin triangles sprinkled with chili-like dust and sesame seeds to boot. We got more. Twice.
The wine list has a lot of bottles that I didn't know. Fortunately the non-stuffy sommelier knew all of them. Since my enjoyment of good wine grossly exceeds my knowledge of it, I put us in his hands, which was a good call.
Hash browns and foie gras came first. Seriously. The hash browns were crispy and oniony and the foie gras exploded with flavor when you bit into it. Next was seared main scallops, tuna tartare and little shrimp dumplings. The tuna won. Perfectly textured with just the right amount of pickled seaweed (battera kombu, if you want to impress your friends, kelp if you only want to impress them a little) and sesame. The scallops were generously portioned, sitting on top of a citrusy salad with pine nuts and olive oil. The citrus took the edge off the saltiness of the scallops, which I am pretty sure was the idea, but I could have done with a little lighter hand with the salt.
Dumplings are a universal food group (e.g. pierogi, ravioli, kreplach). The first key is texture and these were perfect. Translucent in the Asian tradition, firm enough to cut with a fork and still hold the inside goodies together which in this case were shrimp and veggies that worked very well together.
The halibut never disappoints for a main-course choice. A good-sized portion with that crisped up skin that no matter how you try you just can't do at home. The fish is fork tender without being mushy. This night it was served with citrus sabayon.
The free-range chicken is also a winner, with both dark and white meat and the skin crisped up and served on top. I think the only way to crisp up skin so perfectly is to hold it near the surface of the sun, but my son told me that it was probably deep fried. Killjoy.
Best in show goes to the duck. Duck can be greasy. It can be tough. It can be too rare. Or, it can be crispy on the outside and moist and tender on the inside, cut into bite-sized pieces and served along with bok choy and water chestnuts in a Thai barbecue sauce.
There are sweet and salty people. I am salty. I am cheese tray for dessert guy (which is a fine call here). However, Stephanie Prida is the pastry chef and while I don't know her either, I want to be her buddy because she does things with desserts that even the saltiest guys can't ignore. How about a chocolate souffle tart caramel, smoked almonds and vanilla ice cream? How about the sticky toffee date cake with toasted coconut ice cream? Or the sorbets? Or whatever else she is serving up.
Traveler's Tip: I travel a lot and find that I like to eat when I travel. When in Philadelphia, for example, I like to eat at Osteria - a big, open space, casual and full of good smells. At 640 N. Broad, in a somewhat sketchy neighborhood, it qualifies as off the beaten path, but its wood-fired pizzas, fresh-grilled meats and fish, especially the chicken alla griglia, are quickly getting a path beaten to its door.

I bet you will be single for the rest of your life seeing how you see women. This size isn't even possible. I hate Hentai and Anime girls they always make it so men can't even be attracted to real women because their minds are lost in some impossible cartoon world. They expect their girls to look like Anime chicks and it's never going to happen. No stars, well deserving.
Thanks for your comment, I'm a bit sad to notice what your first impression of me is and I would like to clarify that although I draw and I enjoy drawing this kind of material it is not what I see women as, I do have a high respect towards them and I would never do something to harm them, I've been in a relationship with a couple of girls in the past which they still are really good friends of mine and some other friends know what I draw and they're okay with it.
I'm sorry this kind of art offends you and I assure you it wasn't my intention to send that message to people, some people like it and some people doesn't and I take in consideration any feedback I get from both sides.

Flipped Out EndsQ: Hi, I recently got my hair cut, but it didn't turn out the way I wanted it to. It is now an inch below my ears with some layering and left side swept bangs. I would like to do a flip to the ends of my hair while giving it a chunky look. I could really use some step by step advice on how to do this. Thank you.
A: The easiest way to give your hair flipped out ends is to use a large-barrel curling iron and simply curl the hair outward in segments. You can ensure extra hold in the styling by applying styling gel to your towel-dried hair and then blow drying the hair. You can also use a round brush while blow-drying the hair to turn the hair outward.
Click to enlargeIf you use the curling iron option, be sure to spray the hair with hairspray before you curl the hair. Use the iron to create the outward curves in the hair then allow the hair to cool completely before further styling. Once the curves are cool, you can use your round brush to break up the curves.
You can then finish the style and add definition to the outward curves using a pomade on the tips of the fingers and pinching the tips of the curves to create points.

The beta sign-up for Age of Conan is now live, looks like they will be adding more people soon! I've signed up and linked to the MMORPG section here as my "guild page" for the Gamers With Jobs guild. I suggest you all do as well, it could help!
Dang, can't do it from work, it asks for your dxdiag.txt file.
If you already signed up for beta, will it let you sign up again or just tell you you've already signed up?
I'm in!
Beta is now live.. I only hope releasing the game early doesn't constitute the next step.
Signed up! Nothing to do but wait now...
I wonder how much the Dxdiag plays a role in the sign-up. Don't have access to my main gaming rig at the moment, so I hope they take that into account.
Done and done, linked to the MMO section here. I'm going to go cross my fingers now
I can't pass up an opportunity to gaze upon Certis's mighty virtual nipples. I'm in.
I'll have to do it from home though. Damn DxDiags.
Im signed up.
I also linked to the MMO section of the forums here.
Damn! I can't wait to Beta Test this. It's the only MMO that I'm really excited about. And since I'm at work, I need to wait until I get home because of that Dxdiag report.
Oh, I'll be signing up alright.
I submitted. Not real big on MMOs, so I don't know why I keep going back. At least this time I'll get to crush my enemies, see them...well, you know the rest.
Haven't heard back yet, I wonder what the average time for the acceptance emails were?
Drunken Sleipnir, what is good in life!?
I've signed up!
I'm in
Signed up. Put me in coach!
Did you guys sign up for "Technical", "General" or both?
I signed up. Looking forward to seeing first hand what *someone* claims is the best MMO evar.
I'm not sure if anyone read the FAQ but I found this to be very interesting and potentially fantastic!
Massive epic battles – This is the ultimate large-scale PvP form where guilds and coalitions of players can build their own cities in the border kingdoms, and fight it out in massive battles. Just think of it! Engines of war, mounted warriors charging on horses and camels, formations of players struggling for every inch of land, tearing down walls or breaking through the formations of the enemy!
I can see it now "I'm sorry, I have to cut this meeting short I've just been informed that Oogabaville is under attack. I need to defend the homeland"
So here's this... giant enemy crab...
I signed up.
Thanks for the notice Certis! I signed up. Crossing my fingers, really looking forward to this game.
linked to the MMORPG section here
Just to be sure, is this the link you used? http://www.gamerswithjobs.com/forum/4

Signed up with fingers crossed. Man i want in on this one.
Signed up. Here's hoping.
Sweet, I'm signed up too...
I really love the 'Is there anything I should know about you' box at the bottom --
This is for computer only I assume... I want to beta the XBOX version. If I recall that's a long ways off though.

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has extended its deadline for employers to display employee rights notices yet again—this time to April 30.
In August 2011, the NLRB issued its final rule requiring most private employers to post an 11-inch by 17-inch "Notification of Employee Rights Under the National Labor Relations Act." The purpose of the notice is to inform employees of their rights under the Act and explains to employees how to file unfair labor claims against their employer.
"The National Labor Relations Board has agreed to postpone the effective date of its employee rights notice-posting rule at the request of the federal court in Washington, DC hearing a legal challenge regarding the rule," the board said in a Dec. 23, 2011, statement. "The Board's ruling states that it has determined that postponing the effective date of the rule would facilitate the resolution of the legal challenges that have been filed with respect to the rule."
The NLRB said initially that the deadline for posting the rule notification was Nov. 9, 2011, then in October delayed the deadline to Jan. 31.
Regardless of the deadline, experts say employers should familiarize themselves with the rule. "I strongly recommend that employers review the Final Rule to determine whether they are covered by it and, if so, obtain appropriate legal advice regarding compliance," Fisher & Phillips Partner George Adams told InsideCounsel in October.

Late Sunday night, NBC's John Clark mentioned a Buffalo News report that Sabres forward Patrick Kaleta had plenty to say on the ice in Sunday's game, which isn't much of a surprise considering Kaleta's hard-earned repuation as a jackass. Buffalo News' Jerry Sullivan mentioned the exchanges in a column he wrote after the game about how the former Sabre Briere's leadership contributed to the Flyers huge win to even the series. Sullivan relays some intel from a Flyers source that Kaleta's trash talk focused on Briere's and Scott Hartnell's off-season divorces.
From the Buffalo News column:
Briere had been emotionally charged up, and more than a little angry, since early in the game. "Honestly, one of their young guys said something to me that was personal and crossed the line," the former Sabre said. "It got me fired up a little bit more than it usually does. That was probably a big part of it."
A Flyers source said Patrick Kaleta made comments to Briere and teammate Scott Hartnell about their divorces early in the Flyers' 5-4 overtime victory, which evened the Eastern Conference quarterfinal series at three games apiece.
Now, I assume the players are regularly saying all that and then some out there, but apparently whatever Kaleta said fired Danny up quite a bit, and he made it part of a locker room speech in the second intermission.
Considering Briere scored a pair of goals (his fourth and fifth of the series) and Hartnell added a game-tying goal and an assist, Kaleta may want to work on some new material.

The people behind the Denver Tent City Initiative are getting restless. They've been working on their proposal to create a tent city here since last summer, but progress seems stalled in committee.
So when the group met again last Saturday at the St. Francis Center, some members were ready to immediately set up camp on the Auraria campus. But after almost two hours of debate, they voted 32-5 to hold off on creating a camp until at least after the May 10 meeting of the Denver Commission on Homelessness, when that 36-member organization is scheduled to review the DTCI proposal. And Mayor John Hickenlooper has promised to meet with members of the group three days later to discuss their ideas.
Support for the tent-city proposal -- or at least a willingness to discuss it -- has been more forthcoming since a Westword story described how Portland's tent city works ("Pitching Tents," April 15), according to Dallas Malerbi, who wrote the DTCI proposal and led Saturday's strategy session. "Now they feel like they have some options," he says. "The mayor doesn't just meet with anyone, so it's a pretty generous gesture. The group agreed not to do direct action before then."
And two days later, on April 19, the city's homeless-service providers received some good news of their own. Fewer than 9,000 people were homeless in the metro area this winter, compared to almost 10,000 last year, according to the Metro Denver Homeless Initiative's annual point-in-time survey taken on January 19, 2004.
"We're happy that it's fewer people," Tom Luehrs, MDHI president and the executive director of the St. Francis Center, told a crowd of about thirty adults and children who'd gathered for the announcement. "The bad news is there are still 8,668 people who are homeless."
Complete survey details won't be available until the end of the month, but initial findings indicate that of the 8,668 people homeless in January, just 5,149 were living in transitional housing, such as subsidized apartments or relatives' homes. The other 40 percent were living on the streets, coming out of institutions or sleeping in shelters. Almost half -- 43 percent -- of those homeless on the night the survey was taken were children under the age of 21, and 60 percent were part of homeless families.
To arrive at this year's figure, Luehrs explained, MDHI didn't go knocking on windows and peering under loading docks and bridges; instead, the group based its findings on the number of people who approached various service providers looking for assistance. "We waited for people to come to us," he said.

And that may soon be how the homeless get their meals, too. At a Homeless Commission subcommittee meeting on April 20, Denver City Councilwoman Jeanne Robb presented a proposal that would create public meal zones, where food donations could be tracked -- and the trash contained.
Although other subcommittee members were quick to denounce any policy that might put a stop to free feeds, they expressed tentative support for organizing food distribution. And much to the chagrin of Debbie Ortega, executive director of the commission, Robb's proposal opened the door to yet another tent city discussion -- even though it wasn't on the agenda.
"This is like the third time since the early '90s that feeding has been an issue," said Luehrs. "Maybe the tent city would provide a location where people gather and there would be organization already established to give food."

IS this the moment Hawthorn coach Alastair Clarkson told Paul Puopolo he was dumped from the side to play the Cats?
The 22 for this weekend's preliminary finals won't be known until Thursday night, with the final sides not locked in until 90 minutes before the bounce of each match.
But if body language is anything to go by, Puopolo may have learned his fate at Hawthorn training on Tuesday morning when the Hawks went through their paces at Waverley.
Clarkson will recall two of his biggest weapons when his side meets Geelong at the MCG, with Lance Franklin and Cyril Rioli set to come back into the line-up.
Clubs' short films prove a hit
That means there will be two very unlucky men in brown and gold this week, with Clarkson having to tell two players - from the team that belted the Sydney Swans by 54 points - that they are out of the side to face the Cats.
Nuggety forward Puopolo, along with star Rioli, was summoned by Clarkson at training on Tuesday and, as AFL360 hosts Gerard Whately and Mark Robinson suggest in the video above, it looked as though the trio may have been discussing selection.
Many believe tall forward Matt Spangher could be in the firing line to make way for Franklin, but Puopolo would be a surprise omission.
The very doctorly-looking gentleman on the left is Hawks head fitness coach Andrew Russell.

OROVILLE -- Volkswagen owners cruised into Riverbend Park on Sunday in Oroville, parked bugs and buses on the soccer field, and sweated under the heat while judges rated their vehicles.
The Precious Metal VW Car Show and Swap Meet had 46 registered Volkswagens, from classic air-cooled cars and vans from the 1950s to modern Golfs and Jettas competing in the car show in different classes for bragging rights and prizes.
"We're looking at the overall condition," said Cliff Richardson, one of the three judges. "Is it all there and complete; could it be looking better?"
Richardson and the other judges checked off the different cars in each class as they peered in engines, opened hoods and trunks, and tried to weigh differences between cars.
"That one only has a 2-liter engine, but the other one has a hole in the seat," said judge Lonny Recore as he compared notes with Richardson.
Richardson said he likes rat rods, the custom-built vehicles that wear rust as a badge of honor, while Recore prefers pristine vehicles that look like they were just driven off the dealer's lot.
"We may be butting heads when it comes to show cars and the rusty ones," Richardson said.
A live band played and Greg McNeece from VW-Vibrations raffled off Volkswagen parts.
McNeece and Ed Johnson organized the event.
"We started it last year in Paradise at Izzy Burgers, but it was too small an area," McNeece said.
He and Johnson were able to convince the Oroville Parks and Recreation division that if the vehicles were allowed to park on the lawn at Riverbend Park, they would have a good turnout and bring more people to the park each year.
"We've doubled in size what we did last year," McNeece said.
He was hopeful that the show would continue to increase in size and is working to make it a charity event next year, he said.
Although they were entered in the competition, many of the Volkswagen owners were just happy to show off their vehicles with other enthusiasts.
Chris MacDonald heard about the car show Saturday from his boss, and washed and waxed his 1957 Beetle that he had turned into a "Baja Bug," an off-roading vehicle redesigned to drive through desert and sand terrain.
MacDonald has taken the bug on months-long trips through Baja Mexico, where he didn't see any people for days at a time, he said.
Another Volkswagen lover who spent time in Mexico was Tom Beninger, a retired teacher who owns a vacation home in Manzanillo, Mexico. He drove his 1984 Beetle 3,300 miles to visit his sister in Martinez, and took the yellow bug to Oroville for the show.
It took Beninger five days and four attempts to cross the border with the Mexican car because he tried to import it into the U.S. and had problems with California smog laws, he said. He finally decided to just drive the car back to Manzanillo later this year before the Mexican-built car needs to be officially registered in the state.
"She's here legally on vacation," he said, pointing at his yellow bug.
It wasn't just Volkswagen owners at the show; there were fans as well.
Janette Woodall went with her husband and two daughters to check out the old and new cars. The family from Splendora, Texas, was visiting Woodall's brother in Oroville and heard about the car show.
Woodall had a good time looking at all the cars, she said.
A favorite among the Volkswagen enthusiasts was the oldest vehicle at the show, a 1956 van covered in rust. It had personal touches, including air bags that raised the height of the bus, gauges housed in old beer cans, and a "Jackalope," the mythical half jack-rabbit, half antelope mounted on the back wall. There was a buzz among the small crowd that peered in the windows and looked at the engine.
"Without the bags and the other stuff, that bus is worth $15,000 to $20,000," judge Recore said.

Another incident involving the main lithium-ion battery in a Japan Airlines Boeing 787 just before its scheduled departure from Tokyo on Tuesday has prompted an investigation by the Japan Civil Aviation Bureau, with help from the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board, raising new questions about the integrity of a system redesign devised to mitigate the possibility of fire propagation. Battery overheating in airplanes operated by JAL and fellow Japanese airline ANA led to a worldwide grounding of the 787 fleet early last year, forcing Boeing to develop modifications to the charging system and install containment and venting systems.
The latest event occurred at around 4:15 p.m. Tokyo time, when mechanics witnessed white smoke emanating from the bottom of the airplane's fuselage through the cockpit window during pre-departure maintenance at Tokyo Narita Airport. An indication in the cockpit of the possible failure of the main battery and main battery charger prompted maintenance crew to open the main battery enclosure. They found that the safety pressure relief valve connecting to one of the eight battery cells had opened and that liquid dispersed in the main battery enclosure.
No other equipment in the forward electrical bay, where the battery main battery sits, suffered any damage, said JAL. The airline said it continues to investigate the reason the pressure relief valve opened.
The airline replaced the airplane in question, operating as Flight JL707 to Bangkok, with another 787. That airplane left Tokyo at 6:12 p.m., seven minutes after the originally intended departure time.
Tuesday's incident came almost exactly a year after aviation authorities grounded all 787s following two cases of battery overheating, one on January 7 aboard a JAL airplane parked at Boston Logan Airport and the other on January 16 during an ANA flight from Yamaguchi, Japan, to Tokyo.
Asked for its reaction to Tuesday's incident, Boeing said that it knew of the "issue" and that it appears to have involved the venting of a single battery cell. "The improvements made to the 787 battery system last year appear to have worked as designed," it concluded.
January 16, 2014 - 2:17pm
1. If in-flight battery failure is NOT going to compromise flight safety, the batteries can be removed altogether, allowing an extra passenger to be carried....................
2. If in-flight battery failure WILL pose problems, merely preventing a battery fire from spreading [together with atmospheric venting] will only solve part of the problem.........
3. The best [but not very good] chance for avoiding thermal problems would be to place the LVP10-65 cells equally spaced in the armorplate case and pour plaster [gypsum, calcium sulfate,] around them to provide some cooling, [and in the worst case, fire protection] for the cells.............. 3.1 Wrapping each cell in many layers of insulation tape is totally unnecessary at 4 volts per cell and can only make thermal runaway more likely.........................

White smoke seen eminating from the 787 in Tokyo. Does that mean we have a new Pope?


text: My story: I purchased these shoes, Hinsdale model, at Nordstrom Rack. I own several pair of AE shoes and like my other AEs these fit great and are very comfortable. After a few months, the shoes started to bow out on the sides where you put your foot in. I contacted customer service and they said "no problem" send them back and we'll repair or exchange them. Great!, I thought. Long story short, an AE rep Tina L called me back and said sorry these shoes are "seconds" and we don't repair them and they are not covered by any sort of warranty. They sent them back to me. BTW, I paid to ship these shoes to AE in Wisconsin. I don't understand why AE allows Nordstrom Rack to sell shoes that are not up to snuff. My shoes didn't have this problem when I tried them on at the store. I wouldn't have bought them if they did. Count me as a dissatisfied customer.

Wake up call?
In the race for Pasco superintendent, challenger Steve Donaldson inched past incumbent Heather Fiorentino on the latest campaign finance reports.
Donaldson showed total contributions of $29,857, compared to Fiorentino's $29,330 total - the first time he has surpassed the first-term superintendent.
Much of Donaldson's support comes from teachers and their associations: political action committees for the teachers in Pinellas, Nassau, Miami-Dade, Polk, Marion and Hillsborough counties donated anywhere from $200 to $500. But a huge chunk of his funding remains his own bank account. This reporting period, Donaldson gave himself more than $6,600 in in-kind support.
He's loaned himself thousands more in past weeks. And since he's already spent more than $20,000, there's not much left for the election, which doesn't roll around until Nov. 4.
Fiorentino, by contrast, has spent just over $6,000 of her take.
As we've noted in the past, it's a bad year for Republicans like Fiorentino generally. But she does have the benefit of name recognition across the county, so Donaldson has needed to spend liberally to get his name out there. It's on bus benches, billboards and mailers already. Will this Democrat be able to toss the incumbent? Like we said, we'll find out Nov. 4.

Kate Moss Loves Fur and Her Fiance
Kate Moss and her fiance Jamie Hince decided to make a stop in Paris, France over the Easter holiday. One week earlier, the two were spotted at the Mummy Rocks Charity event in London were Hince made a scene after Moss auctioned off a kiss to her highest bidder, Hosh Ibrahim, for 5,000 pounds.
Strutting her stuff in an elaborate fur gilet while taking a walk with her man, Moss showed off her love for fur, as well as her fiance, as the two walked arm in arm. In a recent interview with the Mirror, Moss' good friend Sadie Forest said that aside from her love of fur, the best fashion advice Moss has given her is that "she always says to wear heels…"

JUDAS PRIEST frontman Rob Halford has "unofficially" confirmed that the band have re-signed with Sony Music for their much-anticipated reunion album, tentatively due before the end of the year. Asked during an interview on the Phoenix radio station KDKB Tuesday (March 30) if PRIEST was back on the Columbia label (subsidiary of Sony), Halford said, "Kinda, sorta. There's gotta be, like, this official press release thing, but I think we're gonna end up back with the family that we started out with. That'll be a great way to kind of put the movie together — you know, the final scene is we're back with the label again. So yeah, it's a good feeling to be in that place."With regards to JUDAS PRIEST's new album, Halford said, "[the rest of the band are] working over there [at an English studio]. I'm gonna be joining them next and doing the vocals for the record. The whole music is written. It sounds great. We're very excited. All the great things you expect from PRIEST will be on this record. It's the classic moments… We're not trying to be clever. We're being who we are."

Sumter parents in jail after child dies
Thu, 05 Mar 2009 03:32:54 GMT —
A Sumter one-year-old baby is dead, and police blame his parents.
Chief Patty Patterson says an autopsy revealed the boy died of malnutrition and starvation and weighed less than nine pounds.
Tuesday night, reports had the child weighing less than four pounds.
Marketta McCray was quite emotional as she stood next to Kevin Isaac in court on Wednesday.
Both made their initial appearances Wednesday afternoon.
McCray and Isaac remain in jail tonight, pending a circuit court hearing.
This story is taking an emotional toll on everyone involved, from the accused parents, other family members, and police.
Dorothy Starnes knew 23-year-old Marketta McCray had been asking for help, but she didn't know the extent of her niece's troubles.
"She'd call my other sister when she'd need milk for the baby, she'd call my sister."
Monday, McCray called 911 because her one-year-old son Sincere Isaac was unconscious.
Officers arrived, finding what they call deplorable conditions, including overflowing trash, dirty clothes, and feces.
"The odor was very foul at the residence itself... There were roaches crawling about the house."
Sumter Police Chief Patty Patterson says this is one of the darkest child abuse cases she's handled.
"It is probably one of the worst instances of the few that I have witnessed in 30 years I've been in law enforcement."
Starnes is upset because she's visited McCray several times, dropping off food and other items to help her niece.
She never thought McCray was in such a hard situation.
"I guess by having the five kids, she could have asked us to help."
Yet, through her shock, Starnes supports her niece and wants to help her during this difficult time.
There is no word yet on when the parents will have a bond hearing.
Sincere Issac's twin sister remains at Palmetto Richland Hospital.
The Department of Social Services has the other three children.
Under our justice system, the parents are presumed innocent until proven guilty, but it's a fact, according to the coroner, Sincere Isaac starved to death.
University of South Carolina nutrition expert Dr. Edward Frongillo says it takes a long time for starvation effects to take root.
"We know that it doesn't happen over night. A child can get a severe illness, and especially if they're malnourished, can die relatively quickly. Starvation is a slow process in adults, but also in children."
Dr. Frongillo says a starving child becomes lethargic and non-responsive to their environment as their condition gets worse.

Kidnapped British Doctor Khalil Rasjed Dale Found Beheaded in Pakistan by Taliban
The beheaded body of British aid worker Khalil Rasjed Dale was found dumped along a road side in the southern Baluchistan province of Pakistan. A note was discovered with the corpse stating that the Red Cross (ICRC) aid worker had been killed because a ransom had not been paid, courtesy of the Taliban.
The beheaded corpse of a British aid worker has been discovered in the Pakistani city of Quetta almost four months after he was kidnapped.
The body of Khalil Rasjed Dale was discovered on a road outside the city in southern Baluchistan province with a note saying he had been killed because a ransom had not been paid.
Dale, who had been working for the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), was kidnapped in January while driving near the organisation's Quetta office.
What the Jawa Report said, SAVAGES!!!

Comedian Jimmy Kimmel Roasts Barack Obama at 2012 White House Correspondents' Dinner (Video)
What makes humor funny … there has to be partial truth in what you are joking about … Last night Jimmy Kimmel was really funny …
Last night Jimmy Kimmel hosted the 2012 White House Correspondents' Dinner in Washington DC. And what a job he did, KUDOS!!! Jimmy Kimmel roasted President Barack Obama and perfectly went after the news stories of the day with whit and humor. It was not piggish or vulgar … it was actually quite funny, for the most part. However, you will notice when listening to Kimmel's roasts, the ones that are more funny than others are the ones that have a bit of truth to them, not just making a partisan hit joke. Of course as stated at Powerline, those mean spirited jabs and barbs were reserved for Republicans. What else would one expect?
One of Kimmel's Obama roasts that started off the evening was as follows: "Mr. President, remember when the country rallied around you in hopes of a better tomorrow? That was hilarious. That was your best one yet …"
The Gateway Pundit has a paeruial transcript of some of Kimmel's more funny moments roasting Barack Obama.
"Mr. President, remember when the country rallied around you in hopes of a better tomorrow? That was hilarious. That was your best one yet… There's a term for guys like Obama. Probably not two terms. Even some of your fellow democrats think you're a pushover Mr. President. Thy would like to see you stick to your guns. And if you don't have any guns they would like for you to ask Eric Holder to get some… You know the real reason people thought you were from Kenya had nothing to do with your birth certificate. It's because you lost so much weight we thought you were the guy who won the Boston Marathon. This is how you know our country is in bad shape, our president is starving."
UPDATE I: It's an Obama eat Dog World.

Charlie Cook Calls Barack Obama … "a Metrosexual President" (VIDEO)
Wow, not only is Barack Obama the first black President, he is also according to Charlie Cook, of the famed The Cook Political Report, a "Metrosexual President."
How out of touch are these people? As reported at The Daily Caller, Charlie Cook thinks that Barack Obama does not play well in small towns because Obama is a "Metrosexual President". Sure it is. Because is has nothing to do with his failed economic policies, Obamacare and socialist agenda? Because that $787 billion stimulus worked so well and unemployment continues over 8%. Millions of Americans have fallen off the employment rolls and record numbers find themselves on food stamps. Let alone the US finds itself hopelessly in debt.
According to his co-guest David Drucker, a reporter for Roll Call, it stems from a dissatisfaction with Washington, particularly with ObamaCare. However, Cook says it is something more.
"Small towns — states with a large small town rural populations, Democrats in general, the president has had a really hard time," Cook said. "I mean, we have kind of a metrosexual president … that doesn't go over well in the small town. And it's just cultural. It is what it is."

Adam Croote, Former Poster Child for Missing & Victimized Kids Gets 25 Years to Life Sentence for Raping 10 Year Old Girl
The sad and tragic life of Adam Croote …
The once poster child for missing and victimized children has now become what he had been victimized by over the years. 23 year old Adam Croote was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison for the rape and choking of a 10 year old girl. Croote was entrusted with baby sitting the little girl. Instead he raped and left the girl for dead. If the crime was not bad enough, according the court papers the family knew in advance that Adam Croote was a registered sex offender.
However, Adam Croote was not just any registered sex offender, he was the once poster child for missing and victimized children. His story drew national attention and even landed him in the White House. Adam Croote just never had a chance, the adults ion his life saw to that as he wound up becoming exactly what he had been victimized by. The sad, sick and twisted life pf Adam Croote.
At the age of two, Adam's father murdered his mother and left him alone with her body in Hinesville, GA. Michael Croote, Adam's father, is serving a life sentence for the crime in Georgia. Two years later, Adam Croote's maternal grandparents kidnapped him during a custody fight. In 1992, during an unsupervised visit with then 3 year old Croote, the Ziburas abducted him, setting off a nationwide search that ended in 1995. The case received so much attention as Adam's face was on missing child fliers for three years until they were captured. In 1996 Adam Croote was photographed with President Bill Clinton as the then President signed an Executive Order in support of missing children. However, Adam's life would take and even worse and sad turn. At the age of 17 in Wendell, MA, Adam sexually assaulted a woman who worked at a residential school for sexually abusive youths while she was driving him to school from a doctor's appointment. Following the incident, Croote was convicted of forcible sexual contact and was labeled a Level 2 sex offender.
Croote has led a troubled life. His father murdered his mother when he was two. Two years after that, Adam's grandparents kidnapped him. The case received so much attention that Adam was photographed with Bill Clinton as the then President signed an Executive Order in support of missing children. Later, Croote stood alongside former Attorney General Janet Reno as she lauded the same law. In 2000, when Adam was a student at Bethlehem Middle School, he sexually assaulted a girl and five years later he sexually assaulted a woman in Massachusetts.
"This case was a tragedy for all concerned. It's been additionally one more tragic even in Adam Croote's life," said Adam's public defender, James Milstein.
Judge Herrick acknowledged what he called Adam's "horrible childhood." But, ultimately the past didn't matter and Adam Croote will be spending his future–25 years to life–in prison.
What a tragic story. A one time victimized child who had obviously been exposed to far to much pain and misery in his life becomes everything that he was supposed to be the poster child against.

New Rules for Secret Service in Wake of Colombia Prostitution Scandal … No Booze, No Strip Clubs, No Hookers … No Kidding?
Wouldn't one think that there were already a comprehensive policy of Ethics and Standards for the Secret Service?
In the wake of the Secret Service Colombia "hookergate" that has seen multiple agents dismissed and others reprimanded comes a supposed new enhanced standard of Ethics and Standards for Secret Service personnel. The recent Colombia Secret Service hooker scandal brought light on a glaring issue. However, like most scandals, this seems to be just the tip of the iceberg. There have since been reports of Secret Service misconduct in El Salvador (VIDEO).
Called Enhanced Standards of Conduct, the new guidelines given to all Secret Service personnel make clear that standards of behavior required in the United States apply on missions abroad, the sources said.
Effective immediately, the new standards require detailed briefings before each trip that will include safety precautions and any necessary designations of establishments and areas that are "off limits" for Secret Service personnel, the sources said.
Also in the new standards, foreigners are banned from Secret Service hotel rooms at all times, except for hotel staff and host nation law enforcement and government officials on official business, according to the officials, and all Secret Service personnel are prohibited from going to a "non-reputable establishment."
Good grief, Secret Service agents need chaperones? Really, what is this a high school day trip?
One provision requires at least two senior supervisors — in essence, chaperones — for agents on some trips abroad.
"That certainly is something that's new and surprising to see that, in effect, you'll have somewhat of a chaperone … going to foreign countries with the agents," O'Connell said. "I think the agents, for the most part, that have been doing their jobs for a long time, aren't going to be affected by having somebody looking over their shoulder."

Drivers have up to 500 more parking spaces to choose from in the District after the D.C. Council stopped a new program that was supposed to crack down on the fraudulent use of handicapped parking permits, city officials said Wednesday.
The District Department of Transportation had installed up to 500 parking meters with red tops before legislators halted the plan on Tuesday. Spaces with those meters were to be reserved for disabled drivers and, for the same price as a regular meter, would provide twice as much time as typically allowed.
But on Wednesday, DDOT said those designated spaces are now open to any driver while the city evaluates the future of the special meters.
|Red-topped rules (for now)
|Regular meters: Regular rate and length of permitted parking for non-disabled drivers; drivers with disabled placards park for free for twice the normal amount of time
|Red-topped meters: Any driver can park for twice the normal amount of time; drivers with disabled placards can park for free for twice the normal amount of time
"Persons displaying disability placards or plates can park for twice as long without paying. Everyone else has to pay for however long you park," DDOT spokesman John Lisle said. "The red-top meters already installed are set to allow you to pay for twice the time, so unless we reprogram them, then anyone could pay to park there for four hours instead of two hours, if the normal time limit is two hours."
Mayor Vincent Gray defended the program that drew the ire of legislators and advocates for people with disabilities who said the new parking fees -- disabled drivers could previously park for free -- were an insult.
"We think that as more information rolls out on this, we think people will become more comfortable on what we're trying to accomplish here," Gray said.
Gray said a 90-day review of the program will help officials ensure they've considered the opinions of people who may have been overlooked.
"This will give us an opportunity to circle back and make sure those people are included," Gray said.

A Role of Ethics and Social Responsibilities in Management.
Ethics can be defined as a process of evaluating actions according to moral principal of values(A.Alhemoud). Throughout the centuries people were trying to choose between profit and moral. Perhaps, some of them obtain both, but every time it could have roused ethical issues. Those issues concern fairness, justice, rightness or wrongness; as a result it can only be resolved according to ethical standards.
Setting the ethical standards for the way of doing business in corporation is primarily task of management. Corporations…

Chaz Davies's quiet run to sixth place at Magny-Cours is enough for him to seal the 2011 World Supersport title, while his team-mate Luca Scassa takes the race win.

Luca Scassa has won his first World Supersport race since Donington Park with a fine victory at Magny-Cours, but all eyes are on his ParkinGO Yamaha team-mate Chaz Davies after he did enough to secure the 2011 WSS title.
Davies needed a sixth place result, regardless of where sole rival Fabien Foret finished, to confirm the WSS title with one round remaining, the Welshman calmly playing the points' game as he ceded an early second place to eventually cross the line in sixth.
The race itself looked to be going the way of pole sitter Broc Parkes, who snatched the lead of the race at the first bend, ahead of fellow front row sitters Scassa, Massimo Roccoli and Sam Lowes, though a feisty Davies would get himself up to fourth by the end of the opening lap.
Indeed, Davies looked keen to emulate Carlos Checa before him by winning the title in style, pushing up to third at the expense of Scassa, and then second when Roccoli's Lorenzini Kawasaki expired on lap three.
However, Davies's pace stabilised at around two seconds behind Parkes, with Lowes, now up to third, applying pressure that would see him past into second place on lap eight.
Meanwhile, Foret was struggling on home soil, mired in the chasing pack and unable to get on terms with those ahead of him. Indeed, as was the case at Imola, Foret would require a race win to keep his title dreams alive, though his hopes were fading as the race progressed/
As such, though Scassa spent several laps deliberately shadowing Davies, such was the margin back to Foret, he'd eventually get the go-ahead to move into third and push for the win.
Scassa's rise to third coincided with Lowes running wide at Chateau d'Eau on lap 15, allowing the Italian a chance to pass on lap 16 and go hunting for Parkes, whose lap times had tumbled with only a handful of laps remaining.
With Scassa lapping almost a second faster, he would get the better of Parkes with three laps to go to secure a first win since he opened his rookie Supersport season with a double victory Phillip Island and Donington Park.
Lowes would also capitalise on Parkes's struggles to get second for his sixth podium of the year, though the Australian resisted his charging team-mate David Salom to the chequered flag for third.
Davies, meanwhile, favoured caution in the final laps, allowing James Ellison through into fifth place knowing full well that there was a sizeable gap back to Foret, who by now was down to eighth anyway behind Roberto Tamburini.
As such, Davies needed to merely cross the line to seize a maiden World Supersport title for both himself and the ParkinGO/BE1 Yamaha team, an objective he duly fulfilled, much to his and the team's delight.
Behind Foret in eighth was his Ten Kate Honda team-mate Florian Marino, while Ronan Quarmby sealed his first top ten finish of the season after a competitive run on the Suriano Triumph.
Balazs Nemeth, Vittorio Iannuzzo, Miguel Praia, Alexander Lundh and wild-card Louis Bulle rounded out the points' paying positions.
