Copyright Troll Prenda Law Dances Around The Simple Question: Which Alan Cooper Runs AF Holdings?
from the still-waiting... deptWell, well. The saga of copyright troll Prenda Law continues, getting more and more ridiculous by the day. First there was the comedy routine in a Florida courtroom, where Prenda denied representing the client, while at the same time effectively controlling the case by hiring the lawyers, and where John Steele (who clearly is connected to Prenda) just happened to show up in the courtroom. Then there's the Alan Cooper saga, where a caretaker of one of John Steele's properties in Minnesota began to worry that Steele was engaged in identity theft, and had falsely named him as the CEO of AF Holdings and Ingenuity13, two companies involved in Prenda copyright trolling cases.
A California lawyer, Morgan Pietz, who is apparently representing clients sued by AF Holdings and Ingenuity13, thought all of this was interesting enough that he alerted the courts hearing the related cases to both situations, which apparently set off Prenda Law's Brett Gibbs (also named as the guy who "hired" one of the lawyers in that Florida, despite Prenda denying any involvement in the case). The key question asked by Pietz: is the Alan Cooper associated with AF Holdings and Ingenuity13 the same Alan Cooper taking care of John Steele's property? Or are they different. There is, of course, an easy way out for Prenda if the Alan Coopers are different: just say they're different and show some evidence.
Instead... we get something else. First, a rambling and confusing filing from Gibbs in which he never addresses that simple question, but lashes out at everyone. He attacks the charges from Alan Cooper that his name and identity are being used against his will, not by saying that they are different Alan Coopers, but just by saying that Pietz "failed to perform a basic investigation to determine if the allegations contained in the letter are true." Gibbs does say they are false, but still provides absolutely no information on Alan Cooper, instead relying on the fact that a single court has said that it will take no action on Cooper's letter. Also, Gibbs accuses Pietz of attempting to "defame" AF Holdings with the Florida transcript, though I'm curious how attaching an actual transcript from a court case counts as defamation.
Pietz then filed a supplement to his original filing which responds to Gibbs' filing, noting that it "does not provide a single substantive fact designed to assuage any of these very troubling concerns. Rather, Plaintiff's opposition attacks the evidentiary foundation for Mr. Cooper's assertions, plus ad hominem attacks on the undersigned, an on Mr. Cooper's attorney, without responding substantively to any of the deeply troubling issues raised by Mr. Cooper." Furthermore, Pietz submits an email exchange with Gibbs which gets even more ridiculous.
Pietz asks Gibbs to answer these simple questions, and Gibbs refuses is an increasingly agitated manner. Eventually, they had a brief phone call, though the two differ entirely on the nature of that call. It does seem clear that Gibbs hung up on Pietz, though both accuse the other of unprofessional activities. Pietz insists that the claims that he yelled or cursed during the call are simply and totally false. However, it does appear clear from both accounts that Gibbs simply refuses to answer two simple questions: (1) What is the name of the client that Gibbs speaks to at AF Holdings and (2) can he provide Alan Cooper's signature, which Gibbs' "confirms" was appended to one of the exhibits filed in the case. Considering that the filing states the following, directly after an electronic claim that Alan Cooper signed the form (it's typical for lawyers to note "/s/" in electronic documents for where a physical copy was signed).
I, Brett L. Gibbs, Esq., hereby confirm per Eastern District of California Local Rule 131(f) that counsel for Plaintiff has signed original notarized version of the above Verified PetitionSo, Pietz just wants to see that original signature from Cooper for somewhat obvious reasons, given the concerns listed above. And yet, Gibbs not only refuses, but when Pietz asked him directly on the phone about it, Gibbs himself admits that his answer was "I am sure there are hundreds of Alan Coopers in this world." In Gibbs' own email, he displays the way in which he has treated these conversations:
As I told you over the phone, when you asked "Is there another Alan Cooper?", I said "I am sure there are hundreds of Alan Coopers in this world." If your question had been framed more pointedly, and not so vague, maybe I could have provided you with a specific answer.That's the kind of statement made by someone who thinks they're brilliant -- but isn't. All it serves to do is make lots of people aware of this. Parsing words when the clear intent of the question is obvious doesn't make you look intelligent. It just makes you look like you're avoiding the question because you don't want to answer. Similarly, Gibbs' insistence that he didn't hang up on Pietz seems equally dubious by his own explanation:
Mr. Morgan, I did not hang up on you. I take offense to your purposefully twisted version of things. At the end of our conversation, I said that "it was nice speaking with, I had other things to do and good bye" [paraphrasing]. That is not "hanging up" on someone, that is called ending a phone conversation (with respect, I might add).Again... all of this dancing and parsing could be solved quite simply: by Gibbs or Steele or anyone actually showing that the Alan Cooper who is supposedly in charge of these holding companies isn't the Alan Cooper managing a Steele property in Minnesota. If that were the case, you'd think it would be quite simple for this to be proven. The fact that they're avoiding it only suggests that the most obvious possibility is the true story. As these stories advance, you get the feeling that this situation is going to end up being even more ridiculous than Righthaven by the time it's all over.

Twenty years after artist Christo and his late wife first announced plans to drape the Arkansas River in Colorado with 5.9 miles of fabric, the project — which was finally approved by federal regulators in November — has hit one more snag: a lawsuit from an environmental group that has long opposed it.
The group, Rags Over the Arkansas River (ROAR), filed a lawsuit last week to block Christo's "Over the River" project, alleging the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), which approved the project, violated federal law in the process.
The suit was filed with the assistance of a University of Denver professor and two law students. "We are planning to vanquish the giant with the help of these great lawyers from the University of Denver," spokesperson Joan Anzelmo told the press on Feb. 1.
According to the New York Times, the lawsuit accuses the BLM of not properly addressing the project's impact on wildlife, including bighorn sheep, and of inappropriately classifying "Over the River" as a "recreational activity."
Christo's lawyer, meanwhile, told MSNBC that the art project "will withstand legal scrutiny."
But Michael Harris, head of the University of Denver's environmental law clinic, says the project's environmental impact must be taken into account. "For two years they're going to be in this canyon land, drilling holes, 9,100 holes, sometimes 30 feet deep to place anchors to hold all this in place," he said during a press conference outside the Denver federal courthouse.
Meanwhile, hundreds of Colorado locals have been filing into town halls, where construction permits for "Over the River" are being discussed prior to their approval. "God's natural beauty cannot be enhanced," Cañon City resident Marie Vernarsky told Fremont County commissioners on Wednesday, according to the Denver Post.
Even with the opposition, Christo told the Cañon City Daily Record he feels the Freemont County public meeting was "very polite, very civilized." He says he feels both stress and relief that his long-planned art installation is nearing its execution.
The "Over the River" art installation is scheduled for two weeks beginning in August 2014. Construction prior to the opening will last more than a year.
Environmentalists have long opposed "Over the River," arguing that the potential harm it would pose to area wildlife significantly outweighs the artistic benefits. But it has been strongly supported by government officials, who believe it could generate $120 million in tourism and construction revenues for economically depressed Colorado.
While discussions continue and the lawsuit moves forward, Christo is on his way to Abu Dhabi for another art project called "The Mastaba," which he has been planning since 1977. "It's a structure of 410,000 oil barrels," he told the Daily Record. "It is bigger than the pyramid of Cheops and Giza. Five-hundred feet tall, 1,000 feet by 750 feet of 410,000 oil barrels of marvelous colors, brilliant colors in the oasis about 120 miles from city of Abu Dhabi."

Stories of the Logan Temple on CD
Nolan P. Olsen was likely the finest historian of the Logan LDS Temple. For many years patrons of the Logan Library have enjoyed listening to a talk by Mr. Olsen on the Logan Temple. However, the recording was circulated on cassette and slowly became worn out over time.
Not long ago library staff tried to purchase new copies of this recording on compact disc but found that it had not been released in this format. We were able to track down members of Mr. Olsen's family and received permission to copy the recording onto compact disk.
We now have, as far we can tell, the only copies of this recording in a digital format. Check our catalog to find the recording and check it out to listen to it in your homes.

The mystery sourrounding the teenage girl found in front of Dr. Fauzia's house is finally resolved. After mixed reports it is finally confirmed by the family and government
that the girl is really Aafia's daughter Maryam.
Congrats to the family and hopefully Aafia's youngest son Suleman will also be handed over. It is also reported that Maryam was held in Bagram jail which also confirms that Aafia wasn't arrested in Ghazni alone or some say with her son. In fact she was abducted with her 3 children (2 boys and 1 girl).
DNA test proves teenage girl as Aafia's daughter
Source: http://www.awamimarkaz.com/2010/04/dna-test-proves-teenage-girl-as-aafia's-daughter/
The Eastern Tribune
Islamabad: According to initial report of DNA test, the teenage girl, brought by unidentified men to home of Dr Fauzia Siddiqui, has been declared as daughter of Dr. Aafia Siddiqui.
Dr. Fauzia Siddiqui, sister of Dr Aafia Siddiqui visited the Interior Ministry with 12 years old Maryam on Saturday and held a meeting with Interior Minister Rehman Malik.
Talking to media after holding the meeting, the Interior Minister said that Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani wanted to make the announcement himself but he asked him to announce this.
Rehman Malik said that the DNA Report has proved that 12 years old Maryam is daughter of Dr. Aafia Siddiqui, adding the girl only speak English.
Responding to a question, the Interior Minister said that the government is taking all possible measures for the return of Dr. Aafia, saying the Prime Minister during his stay in the United States would strongly raise the issue of release of Dr. Aafia with the leadership of the United States.
The Minister on the occasion congratulated the entire nation and the family of Dr. Aafia.
Dr. Fauzia Siddiqui while talking to media said that the DNA test has proved that the girl is daughter of Dr. Aafia and praised the efforts of the government regarding repatriation of Dr. Aafia and her children and specially mentioned efforts of the Interior Minister.
On current visit of the Prime Minister to the United States, Dr. Fauzia expressed her hope that he (Gilani) would raise the issue regarding release of Dr. Aafia with US Leadership.
Terming the visit of Afghan President, Hamid Karzai, a key factor in making the efforts of the government and the Interior Minister productive, she said that the rehabilitation of Maryam would be started soon.

Scout on hand to watch Martinez's debut
ST. PETERSBURG -- Rangers amateur scout Jay Heafner was at Tropicana Field on Saturday night to watch the Major League debut of pitcher Nick Martinez. Heafner now works in southern Texas, but was a scout in the northeast three years ago when Martinez was at Fordham University.
Martinez was primarily an infielder who was also used as a reliever. But Heafner saw enough of him as a pitcher to believe that's the direction Martinez should take professionally.
"Just the way the ball came out of his hand, the way his delivery worked and his presence," Heafner said. "He didn't look like a infielder trying to pitch. He looked like a pitcher. It was worth taking a chance."
He also had to convince Martinez that pitching was the way to go.
"It's not that he didn't like it," Heafner said. "With his confidence and his chip on the shoulder, he thought he could still hit and wanted to hit. We had a good conversation. I explained it to him and he bought into it."
The Rangers took Martinez in the 18th round of the 2011 First-Year Player Draft. He is the first player from Fordham to play in the Majors since pitcher Pete Harnisch in 2001. He is also the first Rangers player from Fordham.
Bobby Crook, now a scout but formerly manager of amateur scouting, was also instrumental in signing Martinez.

BlackHat/DefCon founder, Jeff Moss! Lots of lasers! This is the twentieth year for BlackHat – incredible (and I've only been twice, though many more times to DefCon, starting with DefCon 2). There are attendees from over 80 countries and over 200 scholarship recipients.
The first year's speakers were basically all of Jeff's friends – he just wanted to know what they were working on. People say that if hackers and security researchers are talking about a problem now, it will be a problem for the rest of us in 6 months or a year. It's a "crystal ball" of computer security. He learned in the first year to never hold a BlackHat in the same hotel as DefCon – otherwise the DefCon attendees come early and eat all of your food and drink all of you booze! DefCon is more of a hacking conference – a creative way to explore.
Moss found the Internet to be quite liberating as a 13 year old boy – he could go online and discuss things like rock and roll and nobody knew he was just a kid. It took him awhile to fully understand, but he's learned the importance of being social. Your future success will be based on how social you are. How much money can you spend on defense and protecting the systems? Sounds technical, but to get budget needed, it's really a social and political conversation to do defense greater than offence.
Security is no longer a local problem – it is a global problem, though the problems vary by geo. Issues faced in Palo Alto are different than those being faced in Bangalore or on a remote island.
We have to get engaged in the problems of lack of diversity and lack of generalists – mentor, help people write CFPs, advise upcoming students, get out there and help.
Alex Stamos, CSO, Facebook. Twenty years ago he couldn't afford BlackHat, but he was at DefCon and he found a place where he belonged. Coming to the desert every year and hanging out with DarkTangent (Jeff Moss) is like a reunion. Coming together as a group now for weddings, birthdays and baby showers. In 2002, he brought his then girlfriend to BlackHat for their first vacation – she's been with him every years since.
Attending and speaking at DefCon and BlackHat is not always safe for people for their career or livelihood. For example, one man quit his job on stage so he could discuss router vulnerabilities, another engineer was arrested in the airport, others have had federal injunctions against them to prevent them speaking. But this work is important and impactful, and we need to share.
Nowadays people finally understand why they need to build secure systems – no longer a fringe idea. We are no longer the 'hacker kids' – we are CSOs, working for the federal government, and industry experts.
Many people in this room got into security well before they were paid for it – on bbs'es, in hacker meetings and saving up summer job money to come to Vegas for DefCon. The things we are talking about now will become startups over the next 2 years – yet, we are not living up to our potential. We are finding problems, but we need to think about what we do after we discover bugs. We have to realize how many people depend on the technology.
We have a tendency to focus on the complexity, not harm caused. Adversaries will do the simpliest thing they can to exploit a technology. It is fun to see really complicated attacks that someone worked really hard to figure out – but that's unlikely where the actual abuse will be. Abuse is the technically correct use of technology to cause harm. This can include exploitation of adults and children – can be done very easily, not through complicated attacks.
We are suffering from lack of empathy. Think about the expression of the problem being behind the keyboard – that attitude helps you shift responsibility away from actually securing a system to an uninformed user. "Just use your knowledge of X.503 to decide if this certificate is safe to use" "don't click on that link" "don't use that site w/out HTTPS". We have to understand there are more and more people coming online that don't have experience on the Internet and they need to be safe.
We have a problem with security nihilism – that we are all under attack by the most sophisticated adversaries possible, any security that doesn't use encryption is "security through obscurity".
About 10 years ago, there was a bunch of research on technologies that are deployed in the cloud. The research on GPUS and hypervisors was great – and made the public cloud more safe. This gave the impression, though, that the public cloud was not safe, that the existing protections were not good enough – those weren't the real problems. The real problems were excessive privileges, poorly defined network policies – things that are much easier to address and to exploit.
We don't want to discourage people to deploy any security features just because they are not perfect – they are better than nothing and need to help the bulk of users.
There is another fallacy where attackers believe they are just as smart or smarter than people who design the systems, which is not necessarily the case. Systems are designed under all kinds of constraints and nobody is perfect.
Stamos feels strongly that people have a right to secure and private communications, even though some people (law enforcement) don't always agree.
Think about people who have to try to put pedophiles and people that exploit children behind bars. How can we help them, without creating backdoors? How can we relate to and understand their needs?
At Facebook, they have a dedicated red team that all they do is try to break into their systems – unannounced the blue teams. Stamos and Facebook are big proponents of bug bounties – particularly for open source that everyone uses, but don't necessarily have big owners.
Millions of people are getting inexpensive smart phones that are shipping with out of date operating systems – it's still Facebook's responsibility to make sure their app is still secure on these devices. They are worth protecting.
We also have to worry about protecting users during elections – there are many issues (slide font too small to read), but we need to think about what we can help with and what we can do.
The Belfer Center is working on a project to help protect future elections from outside influence. Facebook is sponsoring this effort. In November of next year, there will be many house seats, senate seats, gubernatorial campaigns and local offices participating in elections. All of these campaigns are built up from scratch from a technology point of view, often with volunteers. How we can we help them build secure systems, easily? If things go wrong, can we help them with mitigation and analysis? It needs to be a practical solution – to do this, we must work as a team and we need to have diverse teams. You wouldn't want a toolbox with only the best screwdrivers in the world, would you?
Facebook is sponsoring legitimate CTF competitions in middle and high schools. The winner are treated like athletes – this is important to increase interest in this field. Make sure your team is open and respectful of discussing diversity. Be open to criticism, do not assume how a minority wants to be treated. But remember, don't make snide comments, don't ask women if they are here with their boyfriend – that has impact. Be respectful. Things are getting worse, not better. Let's make this a special week here in Vagas this week to be respectful of other people – if you see something that isn't right, call people out. This is a critical moment – we've been asking for people to pay attention to us – now they are, and let's show them something great.

I am using Oracle 11g's Change Data Capture to track changes on a database table. I am using synchronous mode to minimize latency. Here's an example to illustrate my problem:
- important_column_a
- important_column_b
- useless_column_c
Now, both important_column_a and important_column_b are included in the PUBLICATION and SUBSCRIPTION. The third column, useless_column_c, is of no consequence and is not included in either PUBLICATION or SUBSCRIPTION.
My problem is that any time a change is made to the unpublished column (useless_column_c), a record is written to both the CDC table and the resultant CDC View on the subscription. This happens even if no other change is made to the table aside from the unpublished column.
The Published_Table experiences a significant number of transactions, but only changes to the subscribed columns require additional processing. As Oracle is sending every change across to the subscription, the result is an extensive amount of overhead as the subscriber sifts through what amounts to extra "noise."
Is there any way around this?

Sheen's Anger Management swan song
Actor Charlie Sheen is planning to retire from Hollywood and turn his upcoming TV sitcom Anger Management into his swan song.
The star signed up for the new comedy, based on Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson's 2003 movie of the same name, after he was fired from his last TV job, Two and a Half Men, following a public bust-up with producers.
The program is due to premiere in the US later this month, but Sheen admits he is already looking to the future and is eager to quit showbusiness once Anger Management runs its course.
"I've got a dream life as a direct result of television, you know? But at some point you just get tired of wearing somebody else's clothes, saying somebody else's words and working in somebody else's space," the 46-year-old told the New York Times.
"When I'm done with this business it's just going to be about soccer games and amusement parks.
"And when this ends, I'm done. This is my swan song.
"There's a lot more out there to do than make-believe, you know?"

Funemployment Checks
Process work for the good folks at Funemployed. I'm not ashamed to show you how bad I usually am at caricaturing people the first time round, but I am a little too embarrassed to show you the other six full pages of trying to get these people to get past "likeness" to "caricature".
On the bottom are roughs for the final postcard design. The one on the lower left you might recognize as the poster to "Smokin' Aces 2". I ended up with something a little more like Grand Theft Auto 3, which I'll post upon final design approval.

Are You Funemployed?
I'm currently working on material for a webisode series by a bunch of fellow SCAD-grads called Funemployed. It's quite a zesty enterprise, and involves such erudite and saucy topics as beard-growing, chugging contests, self-defense, and internships. From the top, that's Jay (Michael Lippert), Lockwood (Alex Harris), Ted (Ted Evans), Amy (Kate Carson-Groner), and Bill (Dan Hale).
Above are the main characters, and more finished design and process work will come soon, because I've been woefully neglecting this blog since December, and you person deserve something big.

I'm a Star
On Tuesday I had my Syrup cameo. I was not as nervous about this as I'd expected, until it came time to do it, at which point I was seized with terror. This was because everyone around me seemed to know exactly what they were doing and be very good at doing it, while I'm a writer who can't act. I knew that whenever something went wrong during a shot, people would shout out, "RESET, RESET," or "CUT" or "MAX BARRY GODDAMMIT HOW HARD IS IT TO TAKE ONE STEP TO YOUR RIGHT" (probably), and did not want to waste everyone's time. They were doing such an incredible job; why was I making it harder? My very presence was an insult, implying that anyone could do this. If an actor wanted to insert a few sentences into a novel I was writing, how would I feel about that? Like no freaking way was that happening, that's how.
So I felt indulgent. But of course every person I spoke to was completely encouraging and happy for me, so it may have been all in my head. Anyway, I completely nailed the "neurotic" part of actor right off the bat.
I was a waiter. In an earlier blog I said I was going to be an exec in a strip club—which I really should have mentioned to my wife before the day I was leaving, I discovered—but the schedule changed so instead I was a waiter. I had a line but convinced the director to drop it, because I lost confidence in being able to make recognizable sounds out of my talking hole. Instead I mostly just stood next to Amber Heard and gave her things while she delivered a monologue about feminism in the workplace. This was a good match of roles to talents. I was like the caddy of a great golfer, if the golfer was world-class and beautiful and at one point wearing a corset, and the caddy had never held a club before and was concentrating on not swallowing his own tongue.
Here's me paying intent attention to the director, Aram:
Beside me is Shane, a very cool guy who I talked to a lot on set; he's a producer who in this moment is standing in for Amber. I must be standing on a box or something because no way is Shane this short. That's some kind of film trickery. The ear belongs to Scott, whose job is to herd people into the right positions at the right time by bellowing instructions. He is awesome. Everyone is awesome. Julio Macat, the cinematographer, who I wish I got a pic with but never did, is flat-out brilliant and a genuinely lovely human being. Every day I was on set I learned more about what these people do and how good they are at doing it.
A lot of exterior shots were filmed that day and next, so the internet filled with paparazzi pics. I think I am supposed to be disappointed at, you know, these vultures suckling at the teat of celebrity, but come on, HOW COOL DO THESE LOOK.
No-one felt a need to take a paparazzi shots of me, for some reason. I had to do it myself. So here is me in my trailer on the day of my cameo. (I don't know why I got a trailer.)
Then I flew home to Melbourne, Australia. Which was heartbreaking, because I want to live on that film set for the rest of my life, but also wonderful, because I got to hold my girls (three new teeth for Matilda. Three!) and sleep for longer than five hours and get back to writing things.
This trip was amongst the most hands-down incredible things I've ever experienced. It was astonishing on many levels: hearing actors delivering lines I wrote, seeing characters and locations I'd imagined coming to life, being embraced so warmly by the cast and crew, watching how films actually get made, surviving a cameo. I'm so grateful to every person involved. And I know nothing will ever beat it: that even if I'm fortunate enough to have more work produced, it won't be like this first time, where reality smashed through the ceiling of my expectations and kept heading up. I went over there fully prepared to be disappointed, at least in some respects. And I was wrong. This is going to be a good movie.

MWC 15 Special
in time to my previous column if the Windows Mobile touchscreen interface is ready for single-hand use, the United States Patent and Trademark Office yesterday unveiled a patent which was given to Microsoft
(Application Number: 11/765,684). Title of the patent: "Extensible Filtered Lists for Mobile Device User Interface" which is about systems and methods for providing an improved user interface for mobile devices (smartphones, personal digital assistants (PDAs) and the like are explicitly stated in the patent specification). Access to data and services from multiple software applications can be provided through a group or list of items. Each group or list can include multiple items, which can be associated with data or tasks from multiple applications.
The set of groups of items can be both customizable and extensible to allow users to locate and utilize data and tasks relevant to the particular user. The set of item groups can provide users with a filtered view of content available through the mobile device, enhancing access to subset of data and tasks available on the mobile device:
Briefly described, the provided subject matter concerns an improved user
interface for mobile devices such as smartphones, personal digital assistants
(PDAs) and the like. Selected data and services provided by multiple software
applications can be accessed through a group or list of items. Each group or
list can include multiple items that provide access to data or tasks from
multiple applications. For example, a list centered around a user's current day
can include items corresponding to meetings scheduled for that day using a
calendar application, E-Mail received on that day through an E-Mail application,
and a weather forecast for the day provided by a weather service application.
A customizable set of lists of items can be defined to allow users to quickly
access relevant content such as commonly used data or tasks. Users can add,
delete, reorder and/or edit lists or items to personalize and increase usability
of the mobile device. For example, in addition to the list based upon a user's
day described above, a user can define a list to manage music or audio files and
a separate, second list to manage pictures or images. Items in lists can be
updated based upon specific user selections. In addition, the items can be
dynamically updated based upon changes in the underlying data or services
provided by software applications.
The set of lists can provide users with a filtered view of content and tasks
available using the mobile device. While the full extent of underlying software
applications remains available through the applications, the set of lists can
enhance usability by providing a user with the ability to quickly access the
most relevant or commonly used data or tasks. For example, a user may have data
for hundreds of contacts or persons stored in the mobile device. However, the
user typically communicates with only ten of those contacts on a daily basis.
Those ten contacts can be maintained in a list of items. Information for the ten
contacts can be accessed directly from the list rather than through the contact
application. The full set of contacts can remain accessible through the contact
In addition, a shortcut display can be provided to facilitate navigation of a
horizontal list, such as the set of lists. A shortcut display can reorganize
elements of the horizontal list as a vertical list, which typically allows
additional items to be displayed. Selection of an item or element of the
shortcut list triggers a return to the parent, horizontal list. On return, the
parent list is updated such that the item selected within the shortcut list has
focus in the parent list. The shortcut list allows users to navigate rapidly
through the parent list.
To the accomplishment of the foregoing and related ends, certain illustrative
aspects of the claimed subject matter are described herein in connection with
the following description and the annexed drawings. These aspects are indicative
of various ways in which the subject matter may be practiced, all of which are
intended to be within the scope of the claimed subject matter. Other advantages
and novel features may become apparent from the following detailed description
when considered in conjunction with the drawings.
Not sure if we will see above sooner or later in Windows Mobile smartphones
but it looks like Microsoft is (finally) working on a user interface refresh for
mobile devices. Received the Zune (and even before the Portable Media Center) a
UI refresh already, it's time to refresh the Windows Mobile UI as well, to make
it usable without a stylus.
Cheers ~ Arne

Man sentenced for inappropriately hugging, touching girls at church
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A Jacksonville man was sentenced Thursday to five years in prison and 10 years of probation for sexually abusing children at a local church.
Darrell Moore, 47, pleaded guilty to lewd and lascivious conduct on two girls who were 12 at the time of the incidents. The girls say he hugged and touched them inappropriately at Greater Refuge Temple off Lem Turner Road, the church they grew up in.
Moore was facing up to 15 years in prison. Defense attorneys were seeking a sentence of two years -- time Moore has already served in jail.
The judge said based on what happened, where it happened and Moore's background, the right sentence was somewhere in the middle.
Moore showed little emotion as the judge sentenced him.
"For those two little girls at the time, that church should have been for them what the church's name proclaims to the world. That should have been their refuge," Judge Adrian Soud said.
When investigators first asked Moore if he was aroused when he was hugging and touching the girls, Moore responded, "It's possible."
That answer played a big part in his sentence.
"The arousal and the excitement that are acknowledged through the course of the defendant's interview is unavoidable, irrefutable evidence," Soud said.
Despite that evidence, Soud said Moore's military and church service, clean criminal history, and the fact that there was no skin to skin contact kept him from serving the full 15-year sentence.
Moore is one of two men charged with sexually abusing children at the church. Moore is the pastor's son-in-law, and the other man charged is the pastor's son, Paul Groover (pictured, right). He is currently waiting to go to trial. So far there is no plea deal, and he is facing three counts of sexual battery.
Church members filled the courtroom Thursday, many of whom testified on Moore's behalf during sentencing. The victims say they have been ostracized by the church, even their own families.
Their attorney says they are just happy their voices were heard.
"The girls felt a lot of peace by just simply being believed after two years of not being believed by their church, but then having to come to a court of law to be believed and to get justice," Assistant State Attorney Jessica Villella said.
No church members in attendance wanted to comment after the sentencing, neither did Moore's attorney.
As for an appeal, he said that has yet to be determined.

The former England captain's decision to close the curtain on his playing career signals the end of a chapter in modern football history
By Kris Voakes
He first stepped onto the football pitch as an unknown winger with a cocky demeanour and a right foot in which Manchester United's secret weapon was hidden. He will leave it as the most famous sportsman in the world, the richest in the game, and the person who will forever be remembered as the one who embraced the modern media's influence in football and showed his fellow professionals how to become megastars.
David Beckham's decision to retire from football should not come as too great a surprise. Having just turned 38 and seen very little game time since signing a short-term contract with Paris Saint-Germain on transfer deadline day in January, the former England captain could easily have stayed on for another year. But he wanted to end with dignity.
At the weekend, he was celebrating being part of PSG's first title-winning side in 19 years knowing that he had at least played some part. Next year he may not have been able to say the same thing. With the mega-money outfit looking set to strengthen even further this summer, Beckham's opportunities would only have been further reduced. It was the right decision.
Manchester Utd
(Jan 93-Jul 03)
Preston (loan)
Real Madrid
LA Galaxy
Milan (loan)
Paris Saint-Germain
However, football will be a poorer place for his departure. He began his first-team career during the season which was to mark the beginning of the sport's TV boom period. The FA Premier League and the Champions League were both newcomers, just as Beckham was, in 1992-93, bringing untold riches into the game. By the time he became a first-team regular, it was clear he had the drive and the swagger to make the most of both his talent and his sex appeal.
When he met and married a Spice Girl, it was he that gained popularity by being with Victoria rather than the other way around, but he was soon to ensure that he would write his own headlines. With England representation came the Simeone affair of 1998, then the redemption that would follow with the captain's armband, the leading of a new 'Golden Generation' and THAT free-kick against Greece.
All the while, he was winning trophy upon trophy with Sir Alex Ferguson and United. Until, that is, his relationship with the storied manager suffered one too many wobbles. 'Bootgate' led to him wanting out, and eventually saw him make a €35 million move to Real Madrid, where he would become the biggest emblem of all in the 'Galactico' era. Despite having his troubles with Fabio Capello after he announced he was heading for Hollywood, Beckham's time in Spain ended with a league title which he went a long way towards winning.
Steve McClaren's decision to end Beckham's international career was premature at best, misjudged and mishandled at worst. He was back within a year and would become England's most capped outfield player. He may not have won trophies with his country, reaching two World Cup quarter-finals and Euro 2004's last eight at his peak, but he had given everything for the shirt.
His time at LA Galaxy came after he perhaps foolishly believed time was running out for him at the top. Two loan spells at AC Milan proved that he still had a lot to give and satisfied Capello enough to earn him more caps for his country, but an Achilles rupture while playing for the Rossoneri would end his England career for good. He returned to win two MLS Cup titles with the Galaxy and this season's Ligue 1 with PSG, but Beckham was never quite the same when not representing his country. He fulfilled his role in America, blazing a trail which Thierry Henry and others have since followed, but he never looked happy when there wasn't an England shirt waiting for him come international week.
It is fair to say that he will be remembered as much for his impact off the field as what he did on it, but many a modern footballer will be forever thankful for Beckham showing the way in making the most of his talent.
He was impetuous, but he was full of heart. He was cocky, but he was smart. He was a villain, but more so a hero. He was many things to many people, but football was a better place for having David Beckham in it.

Improved Productivity Through Internet Explorer 8 Developer Tools
Over the past year, I've written about different tools to help web developers become more productive when developing in Internet Explorer. These tools came from partners inside and outside Microsoft. One – the IE Developer Toolbar – came from the IE team in response to your requests for a free, lightweight tool to help debug your site in IE.
The IE8 Developer Tools are the next step in helping make developers more productive in Internet Explorer. In this post I'll introduce you to what's available in IE8 Beta 1 and point you to more detailed information about the tools.
Integrated, Simple-to-use Developer Tools
Internet Explorer 8 simplifies the process of debugging by including developer tools out of the box and making those tools easy to use. Instead of having to find, download, and install a separate debugging application, just press SHIFT+F12, or click the developer tools icon in the command bar.
And if you want to debug JScript, switch to the script tab and press 'Start Debugging'. Even if script debugging is disabled, Internet Explorer 8 will remind you that it will refresh the page and enable debugging for only the current IE instance so you won't see script error dialogs as you browse the web. Or, if you prefer to avoid the page refresh and dialog, just enable script debugging for Internet Explorer in the 'Advanced' tab of the Internet Options Control Panel.
Here's a view of the debugger:
We also heard your feedback about the IE Developer Toolbar's impact on performance even without the tool open, so we created a more robust design that resolves the problem. As we built on this new design for beta 1, we focused on new scenarios rather than putting back all features from the IE Developer Toolbar. As a result, you'll notice many features from the IE Developer Toolbar aren't available in IE8 Beta 1. In future betas, however, we'll continue to add new features while bringing back the functionality of the Developer Toolbar so you can continue using the features you're already familiar with.
A Visual Interface to the Platform
In addition to simplifying the debugging process, IE8 Developer Tools offer a new perspective on your site. Instead of just a source view, the tool provides visibility into Internet Explorer's internal representation of the site. For example, the DOM tree in the tool is built from the tree IE builds internally to display the page, not from your source. So if script changes the tree, IE8 shows you the updated tree. You can also view style information for an element to better understand what rules apply or what rules specify a given style property, as show below.
Fast Experimentation
The Internet Explorer 8 Developer Tools also provide the ability to experiment and iterate rapidly by letting you edit a site within IE. For example, once you've found a style rule or property you're interested in, click a checkbox to enable or disable it, or click an attributes in the DOM tree to edit it in-place.
The tools also provide easy access to all available rendering modes so you can test different modes quickly:
By removing the need to save changes, switch between applications, and refresh the page, the tools make it faster and easier to test, debug, or just experiment.

Reader of the Letter
This was the reaction of a new assistant to the great halachic authority of the last generation, Rabbi Moshe Feinstein, to the appearance of a woman in the offices of Yeshiva Tiferet Yerushalayim. She had also visited the Rosh Hayeshiva a short while before and spent a considerable time in his office. This was unusual because if she was consulting him for a halachic ruling, as did countless others every day, Rabbi Feinstein was known to give quick answers to every question.
When he finally got up the nerve to ask the rabbi what the purpose of the lady's visit was, this is the explanation he received:
"This woman has no one in the world except some relative in who writes her letters in Yiddish. Since she can't read Yiddish she comes to me to read the letters for her."
The Torah giant who was the guiding light for an entire generation, and whose every moment was spent learning, teaching and ruling, made time to bring comfort to a lonely woman.

Psy has jumped head first into the mainstream since the release of "Gangnam Style." He's conducted numerous interviews and answered the questions we expect from anyone who has been pushed into the international spotlight from almost total obscurity.
This time, Psy dropped in for a Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything) and let Redditors tackle the topics. Here are 5 things we learned.
Psy Does Everything
Source: YouTube
Redditor drodenbach: "What's something that people don't know about you that you wish they did?"
Psy's answer: "I compose all my music myself."
Unlike many pop stars, who have a team in the studio to aid in every aspect of the songwriting and composition process, Psy does it all on his own. That's right, the sole source for "Gangnam Style" was his brain.
Psy Is Super Serious
Source: YouTube
Redditor ao6238: "How do you always manage to keep such a straight face when dancing?"
Psy: "Because I'm serious about my dancing."
That "Gangnam Style" horse dance is pretty silly. But like everyone who has a job, they take it seriously because they care. Psy is serious about horse dancing.
Psy Likes Tom Cruise
Source: YouTube
Redditor Kreamcheez: "Who is one celebrity you want to meet that you haven't already?"
Psy: "Tom Cruise."
Why Tom Cruise? That's something only Psy can answer.
Psy Loved The Elevator Scene in "Gangnam Style"
Source: YouTube
Redditor terets: "How many times did it take to do the elevator portion of your video in Gangnam Style?"
Psy: "That was ad libbed. Nong Chul is the name of the elevator guy and he is very famous comedian in Korea. That is a very popular dirty move he has been doing for 6 years and I asked him to do it in my video. If I am underneath, it would be dirtier!"
"We only did 2-3 takes and everyone on the video set was crying from laughing. Definitely my favorite scene in the video."
Her Ass Was Mad
Source: YouTube
Redditor FahCough: "Why were you so mad at that girl's ass?"

VARILIGHT dimmer switches have an industry-wide reputation for exceptional performance, long life and innovation at attractive prices. Like all Varilight products these dimmers are designed to meet the latest European Safety Legislation. It is important to select the correct dimmer switch for your application so please read the following information carefully. The lights are dimmed by a rotary control knob and turned on and off by a push on/ off action. Push on/ off dimmers are suitable for 1-way and 2-way circuits. Our Standard Push on/off Dimmers can be used with mains voltage lighting and good quality low-voltage electronic transformers. Standard Push on/off Dimmers can be used for mains incandescent GLS lamps (standard mains light bulbs), up to the maximum load as specified on the dimmer. It can also dim GU10 or similar Hi Spot Mains Halogen lamps (only use quality UK supplied lamps) up to the maximum load as specified on dimmer. Good quality dimmable electronic transformers can also be dimmed using this dimmer, please note that noise levels can depend on the quality of the transformer being used. If dimming low-voltage lighting we recommend that a maximum of 5 good quality dimmable electronic transformers are used with this product. To specify the load of the dimmer, add up the wattage (or VA) of the transformers and select a dimmer to cover this value. If the Varilight Electronic Transformer is used up to 10 transformers can be used and the power rating of the dimmer is determined by adding the power (watts) of the bulbs, not the transformers. Standard Push on/off Dimmers can be used in 2-way circuits (where one lighting circuit is controlled from two locations). In order to achieve 2-way switching, they must be paired with a standard 2-way switch in the other location. 3-way switching can be achieved by adding an intermediate switch in to the circuit. When using Standard Push on/off Dimmers in a 2 or 3-way circuit the lights can only be dimmed from the location that the dimmer is situated in. Please note, if total dimming is preferred in all locations, in a 2 or 3-way circuit then choose the Varilight Touch and Remote range of dimmers. Standard Push on/off Dimmers are not suitable for use with wire wound transformers or fans and other inductive loads (for these products see Intelligent Dimmers, Touch/Remote Dimmers, and Fan Regulators).

PITTSBURGH (AP) There have been very few constants in Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin's six years on the job.
The sight of Ike Taylor in his No. 24 uniform has been one of them.
Until now.
The veteran cornerback will miss at least two weeks with a fractured right ankle, meaning his streak of playing in 135 consecutive games will end on Sunday when the Steelers (7-5) host reeling San Diego (4-8).
``You can say a lot of things about Ike, and a lot of positive things, but probably the thing that sticks out the most is his durability and availability,'' Tomlin said. ``This guy hasn't missed practices, let alone football games, since I've been here.''
The 32-year-old Taylor has spent the last seven-plus seasons serving as an anchor on one side of the field. It's not a coincidence Pittsburgh has ranked in the top 10 in total defense each year and is No. 1 overall and in passing yards allowed yet again.
Though Taylor doesn't need surgery, the Steelers will have to rely on second-year reserves Cortez Allen and Curtis Brown against San Diego and Dallas, both of which have two of the more physical receiving corps in the leagues.
It's a task, however, Allen and Brown appeared to be up to while playing extensively last week against Baltimore after Taylor went down. Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco completed just 16 of 34 passes for 188 yards with a touchdown and an interception as the Steelers revived their playoff hopes following the franchise's first two-game losing streak in three years.
To keep it going Pittsburgh will now rely a pair of 2011 draft picks to ease the pain from Taylor's absence. Tomlin likened Allen and Brown to third-year wide receivers Antonio Brown and Emmanuel Sanders. The duo were taken in the 2010 draft and have quickly evolved into key contributors.
Tomlin figures it's time for the two cornerbacks to do the same.
``They're both talented young guys who are continuing to improve and prove that the stage isn't too big for them,'' Tomlin said. ``Obviously, we need them to answer the bell as we continue to push into a territory that we haven't been in.''
While one familiar face will be out of the lineup, another one could return. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will practice this week with a chance to return since going down with a sprained right shoulder and a dislocated rib in a 16-13 overtime win over Kansas City on Nov. 12.
Roethlisberger threw on Monday, though Tomlin stressed that at the moment backup Charlie Batch is ``our guy.''
Batch, who turns 38 on Wednesday, passed for 276 yards and led the Steelers to a pair of late scoring drives in Baltimore. Tomlin, however, stressed the decision on Roethlisberger's availability rests solely on the quarterback's health, not Batch's ability to channel the fountain of youth.
``Ben is our quarterback and if he's capable of playing then we're going to play him,'' Tomlin said. ``But we appreciate the efforts of Charlie and all the other men that step up when given an opportunity due to injury.''
Roethlisberger said last week arm strength and pain have been major concerns during his rehab. He appears to have made progress on both fronts in the last week.
``Seven days does wonders for injuries,'' Tomlin said.
So does the prospect of playing significant games in December. Tomlin allowed the victory in Baltimore is among the most significant of the last two seasons, so much so he was in a rush to get to the locker room afterward, one of the reasons the postgame handshake between Tomlin and Ravens coach John Harbaugh appeared strained.
``It took special effort to secure that victory and when I noticed that guys were headed to the locker room I was in a hurry to get there,'' Tomlin said.
And Tomlin is in a hurry to get back to work, though he's not trying to read too much into similarities between the team's position now and the one it was in seven years ago, when the Steelers won their final four regular season games then added four playoff wins to capture their fifth Super Bowl.
``I do think our team has some unique characteristics that are kind of born out of unique circumstances or situations,'' he said. ``Quite frankly, it's always 20-20 looking back at it. If we're able to put together a run and win necessary games and get some momentum, then you can say it was unique.
``If we don't, then you can say it was irrelevant.''
NOTES: LB LaMarr Woodley will test his injured ankle this week and could play after missing the Ravens game ... WR Jerricho Cotchery's fractured ribs have healed enough that he has a shot to return against San Diego ... Tomlin said he's encouraged by the way S Troy Polamalu played against the Ravens in his first game in nearly two months and could see a heavier workload on Sunday.

Born in Brest in 1929, fell at Gush Etzion 21st Nissan 1948. He immigrated with his parents to Israel in 1934. After finishing primary school, he studied at evening high school classes, and worked at a clerical job during the day to help his parents.
Joseph was active in the Haganah, after the United Nation's partitioning of the country; he was amongst the first to volunteer to accompany the convoys trying to break through the blockade and reach Jerusalem. He was transferred by air to the besieged Gush Etzion when the situation deteriorated there. When his parents asked where he was going he said proudly who but the young can protect our lives? Or should we go like sheep to the slaughter like our beloved ones did in Brest?
He was proud of his voluntary contribution to the struggle for the establishment of the new nation. Despite the great difficulties that he knew existed in Gush Etzion, he reassured his parents that they should not worry and that the nation would be established in spite of their Arab enemies.
On the 5th May 1948, the Arab Legion under the guidance of the British Army attacked Gush Etzion with tanks and heavy artillery. The defenders of Gush Etzion withstood the attack but suffered heavy losses. Twelve heroes fell on that day, amongst them Joseph who was not quite 19.
Born In Brest 1915, fell in the fields of Benyamina 1947.
The Getzel family was exiled from Brest to Siberia during W.W.1 the family returned to Brest in 1925. Yakov studied at the Tachkamoni Hebrew primary school in Brest, and then at the Ort tradeschool where he learnt metal trades and locksmithing. He was known as strong and fearless, and always ready to defend the weak. He was never wounded in the fights between the Polish and Jewish youths, and was a graduate of Betar.
He arrived in Israel in 1935 and worked at Hadera. He was also a guard at Tulkarem and Kalkiliya. The members of the local farming settlements (moshavs) liked him because of his fearlessness. Yakov was arrested by the British at Hadera as the result of taking part in retaliatory action by the underground. He sat in Acre prison for several months.
After being freed from prison he was sent by the Haganah to Hanita where he was given the task of training himself to assemble and handle weapons in the armory of the British Army. He became a specialist in this field.
In 1947 he was sent to obtain weapons from the Arabs and never returned. He fell at his guard post in the fields of Benyamina.
Born 28th Tevet 1921 in Ramat Gan and fell 3rd Iyar 1948 at a radar station. David was raised in Kfar Yehoshua and was liked by his friends and teachers. David was quiet gentle and serious, he loved nature and prepared for a career in agriculture. His ambition was to have a rural life working the land.
When he was mobilized in March 1948 he was sent to the besieged Jerusalem, for weeks his family awaited his return, but he never did he fell on road to Jerusalem.
Born 26th April 1927 in Brest. Fell on the 21st Tishrei 1948 on the Negev Front.
The Dubinboim family made Aliyah from Brest to Israel in 1935. Gershon finished his primary school in Rechovot. Due to the difficult financial situation of his family he interrupted his studies and began to work at 15. He was accepted into Kibbutz Degania and was sent to an instructor's course by the Haganah. Returning to Degania he gave all his free time to working for the Haganah.
When W.W.2 ended Gershon and his family became aware that all of their nearest and dearest in Brest had been murdered by the Nazis. Gershon decided to enlist in the Palmach where he took part in the most dangerous missions. He distinguished himself and studied to further increase his military expertise.
In December 1947 he was sent with his battalion to the Negev. He became battalion leader and took on the defence of the Yad Mordechai and Gvar Am district to ensure to communication lines there. This area quickly became the most difficult and bloodiest of battles of the whole Negev campaign. When the decisive battle broke out in Yad Mordechai, although his battalion headquarters was stationed further away, Gershon personally participated in its defence. Thanks to him the evacuation of the children was carried out successfully in the last moments before the Egyptian surrounded them and the decisive battle began.
With typical skill and courage he also fought with his battalion in the siege of Beer Sheba and was involved with the Stern group in bringing reinforcements to Hebron and destroying the bridge at Dahariya. He was hit by anti tank shrapnel there and died the following day, the 21st Tishrei 1948.
Gershon was beloved by the men of his battalion he always demanded more of himself than of others. He was wholehearted in his dedication. The city of Rechovot honored his memory by naming a new street in Rechovot after him Rechov Gershon.
Born in Tammuz 1928 in Tel Aviv. Fell 10th Tammuz 1948. Tzvi Drori came from a deeply rooted Zionist family. His grandfather was Reb Shmuel Halperin, from the family of Rabbi Chaim Volozhyn, who was a great scholar and a dedicated Zionist. After W.W.1 he founded the Mizrachi organization in Brest and the Tachkmoni Hebrew School. He brought up all his children in the spirit of Torah and Zionism and was granted that all his children made aliyah to Israel and survived the Holocaust.
His son Gershon was Tzvi's father and an impassioned Zionist from his youth. He went to Israel together with his pioneer group aged 18. He worked on a railway gang and built the railroad between Sarafen and Lod. He endured all sorts of backbreaking work and in 1932 was one of the founders of a settlement at Yarkona.
From his mother's family he received the influence of Jewish culture and Zionism. His maternal grandfather was Kadish Tennewitzki, a committed Zionist official and worker all his life. He had made aliyah with all his family to Israel in 1938, but had returned to Brest to liquidate his business interests and perished in the Brest ghetto.
Tzvi was 3 years old when his family settled in Yarkona, and was still at school when his father died, forcing him to assume the role of provider for his family. He worked during the day and at night he studied with the Gadna (military cadets), training hard. At 14 years of age he became a member of the Haganah. When the terrible news about the 35 martrys of Gush Etzion arrived, he hastened to help the besieged at Gush Etzion. He went to his mother and said: I'm going to replace them. He excelled in his leadership abilities and took part in battles at Jaffa, the Sharon district, and the sieges at Latrun, Migdal Tzedek, and Rosh Ayin.
In the battle over Kola where his company found themselves in a difficult situation, he ordered his men to withdraw and left himself to cover their retreat. The company escaped unharmed but their leader Tzvi fell. It was his 20th birthday.
He shot at the approaching enemy tanks with his machine gun, even when they were only 200 meters away. At this critical moment, his machine gun jammed Tzvi did not lose control and calmed and encouraged his men he ordered a group of his soldiers to shoot at the tanks whilst he repaired his gun and began shooting again so that his men could retreat safely.
From the official report on Kola the ambush of the village and the defence against it. 1948.
Born on the 28th Iyar 1928 in Brest. Fell on the 8th Shevet 1948 on the road to Gush Etzion.
David was born in Brest, on his mother's side he was a descendant of both Rabbi Nachum of Chernobyl and Rabbi Pinchas Koritzer. He inherited his love of Israel from his home, and his schooling at Tarbut further deepened this love. As a three-year-old child he loved the story of David and Goliath. Winnikoff's daughter would jokingly call the three year old to the phone and say: David, how did David kill Goliath? he would reply: with five small stones. Ironically his fate was that he, together with his group of 35 comrades, heroically fought in the same area that David killed Goliath with stones from the river.
It is possible that in their last tragic moments, they realized that they had no more bullets, and only had stones as ammunition. (The Arabs said that one of the 35 was found with a stone in his clenched hand).
In Israel he was brought up in the idealistic spirit of love for Israel and was active in the labor movement. He joined the Gadna (military cadets) where he was active; he studied sociology, philosophy and law at university. At the same time he was a youth instructor, cultural officer and guard in the Gadna. He lectured in factories, and was also involved in the theatre group.
Notwithstanding that he was exempt from active combat duties, according to one of his commanding officers: he willingly chose to be on the front line and volunteered to take part in the desperate attempt to break the blockade at the beseiged Gush Etzion. There together with his entire group he fell after a long and hard battle.
The editor of the newspaper Am Oved (working nation) published a book of David's writings titled: David Tash, one of the 35.
Bejamin Yarchi was born in Tel Aviv in 1927. He graduated from the Geula High school. He was amongst those who led the drive and penetration into the Negev, even before the establishment of the State of Israel. He fell on the road to Falugia.
An only son, his parents could not survive this great tragedy and both died shortly after him.
Born into a distinguished old Brest family. His father Baruch Neumark (Noy) was the mayor of Acre. His grandfather was Ben Zion Neumark, a famous Zionist activist in Brest. When he was a child his family migrated to New Zealand. Although he adjusted successfully there the youth never stopped yearning to go to Eretz Israel.
In 1945 the entire Neumark family made Aliyah to Israel, and it was then that I met David for the first time, a quiet shy youth. Underneath he had an unforgettable lust for life. He was friendly, loyal and popular. The day when he entrusted his secret to me is etched into my memory he told me that he had been accepted for Gadna training and how his face lit up with joy.
On the 29th Dec 1947, a month after the U.N. resolution to establish a Jewish State, one of the underground divisions attacked the Arab suburb of Romema, which held a nest of Arab bandits.
The British arrived to assist the 'innocent' Arabs. They shot at the neighboring Jewish settlements from their armored cars. The 16-year-old David who was incidentally passing along the street at this time was shot and killed by one of their murderous bullets.
(A friend).
Born 11th Elul 1930 in Rechovot, fell 3rd Tammuz 1948.
Ben Zion's father Yitzchak was educated at the ORT Trades School and hostel in Brest, where he was brought up in the Zionist spirit. He came to Israel with the first group of Zionist pioneers from the hostel in 1926 and worked as a laborer in Rechovot. His mother Nechama arrived in Israel in 1926 and immediately went to on a kibbutz.
His parents went to work the land together and were part of the founding group that established the first worker's moshav of 'Kfar Bilu'. Their son Ben Zion was educated at first in this village, then at high school in Rechovot, and later graduated from the Max Fein Trades School as a machinist. He excelled himself with his diligence and good nature, and was very much like by his friends and teachers. He was devoted to the Haganah where he trained from his early youth. In the battles for liberation he was amongst the best at creating diversions and an excellent organizer. He took part in dozens of actions including escorting convoys to Jerusalem, Kfar Uriah., Nachshon, Latrun, Tel Arish and the Maccabee action. He was finally transferred to the 52nd battalion in the Nitzanim area where he participated in some bloody battles. On a Saturday night the 4th Tammuz he was sent to collect the dead and wounded, where he was wounded himself. He said to the medics that he was only lightly wounded and could carry on helping others. However, he died shortly afterwards. He was not yet 18 years old.
Born on the 1st Iyar 1924. Fell on the 17th Tishrei 1948.
Yitzchak finished primary school in Brest. He then endured and survived all the horrors of W.W.2 in Europe. After the war he was a member of the kibbutz Ichud group in Germany and came to Israel in the Haportzim refugee ship which arrivied at Nahariya January 1948. He worked as a barber in Hadera. He was mobilized into the Israeli army and served as a medic in the 'Givati' battalion. He participated in the battles for the Negev and was wounded at Negba. After recovering he returned to the battlefront and was killed on the 19th October 1948, during the attempt to break the siege of Moav Akiva, whilst fulfilling his duties as a medic. He was laid to rest at Kfar Warberg.
