It appears there is no legal way to stop Obama and those who are covering for him who appear to be everyone whose duty it is to protect our country and our Constitution; therefore, are we doomed? Does anyone think this will just go away? Are ALL our elected officials a part of this conspiracy? Now our elected officials are trying to take away away all guns Americans have for protection. When will our armed services take a stand on behalf of our Constitution? Millions are ready to take action to stop this take over of our country, so where and when does it begin? What CAN we do? Is the FBI against America too? Will they do nothing to stop this hostile takeover? I'm scared and I know we must get together. At least half of America if not more want to stop this, and I don't understand how and why it has gone this far! It seems that it was all so well planned, that all avenues to free Americans were closed before Obama was ever elected. If there is hope, where do we find it? Impeachment was filed with no action taken . . . Treason charges were filed by many, but no action is being taken. Is it over? Are we now a communist 3rd world country? What can one person alone do? There are millions of 'ones' scattered all over the country. Who will bring us together? Our laws aren't working. So what is next?

Obama has usurped the Presidency during time of war. That makes him a SPY under UCMJ S902A102.

The same episode we encoded, we used for our MP3-testing. We don't recommand using MP3 for encoding, because AC3 can do the job better, but nearly 42 minutes gives us approximately the length of any given album.
A measurement in seconds, as many sites do, is useless, because the differences are too small. So we used the built-in play/CPU ratio, this means the CPU is encoding x-times faster then the track-length. Fast memory does not play an important role here. For your convenience we show you also the single-threaded benches, they will be produced with any other L.A.M.E. version, because only lameMT can do more than one thread and take advantage of a second dice.
We used this setting: lamemt --vbr-new -q 2 -V 2 -m j --strictly-enforce-ISO --resample 48

Emerson's state-of-the-art, energy-efficient Global Data Center in St. Louis, Mo., has earned two high-profile industry recognitions for environmental responsibility: LEED® Gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council and a 2009 Beyond Green™ High-Performance Building Award from the Sustainable Buildings Industry Council.
The 35,000-square-foot Emerson Global Data Center, located on the company's headquarters campus, supports the company's worldwide manufacturing and engineering operations. The data center is 31 percent more energy efficient than traditional data centers and is home to Missouri's largest solar array – a 7,800-square-foot rooftop array of more than 550 solar panels.
"The LEED Gold certification – a rare designation for a data center – is a significant validation of Emerson's commitment to energy efficiency and environmental responsibility," said Emerson Chair, Chief Executive Officer, and President David N. Farr. "The certification, along with the Beyond Green honor, recognizes Emerson's innovative approach and efficient technologies for managing one of the most vexing problems facing data center managers – energy consumption."
The LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) rating system, established by the U.S. Green Building Council and verified by the Green Building Certification Institute, is the nation's pre-eminent program for the design, construction, and operation of high-performance green buildings. Emerson earned 40 out of a possible 51 points to receive LEED Gold certification.
The Sustainable Buildings Industry Council bestowed a Beyond Green honor on the Emerson Global Data Center in the "Innovative Solution for a Niche Market Application" category. This award recognizes initiatives that shape, inform, and catalyze the high-performance building market, as well as the real-world application of high-performance design and construction practices.
Emerson invested $50 million in the Global Data Center and achieved maximum energy efficiency by implementing the latest efficient technologies, precision cooling products, and recommended efficiency strategies from its Emerson Network Power business.
Additionally, construction of the data center was completed with environmental responsibility in mind. More than 80 percent of the construction waste generated was diverted from landfills through recycling, and innovative design features enabled the company to save more than 2.5 miles of copper piping, minimizing the use of excess materials.
St. Louis-based Fox Architects partnered with Emerson on the design of the data center and managed the company's application for the LEED Gold designation.

We work for service companies, retailers, entertainment companies and hospitals. Other than that we service (local) government but do nog target those in our marketing approach.
We help these companies to improve the experiece customers have by following the logic of a Harvard study: 'the value profit chain'. This study proves that growth in employee satisfaction and growth in customer satisfaction automatically leads to growth in ROI. In other words, happy people make happy customers and happy customers make companies more money... Simple and effective.
We organize trainingsessions, experience expeditions and theatershows about customer experience. Our (future) clients run serious businesses, like hotels, shops and hospitals. So that means we operate 'In Serious Business' and on the other hand bring tools and solutions to make people in these businesses happy!
We do business with executives/managers and HR managers of the companies mentioned. Although these are our sparring parnters, we perform training for the total organisation. So we should have an attractive design for all of the people in the company. From boardroom to operations.
We are looking for a logo that reflects our filosophy, however without using the classic smiley etc. A contemporary design that goes well on a website with a white background.

Gaslamp Quarter
Gaslamp location is closed
We're sorry to announce that our Gaslamp Location will no longer be offering to-go services (3/31/20)
Our nearest location is Old Town San Diego
Rockin' Baja Lobster is a Mexican and Baja Style Seafood Restaurant with a Bar & Grill. We pride ourselves on offering our guests a fun, rockin' good time! Find us for truly delicious and unique food offerings, Seafood by bucketful, a salsa Bar, icy cold beer and a varied selection of the best-tasting margaritas anywhere. Located in Southern California, we have locations in the Gaslamp Quarter and Old Town in San Diego, Plus Newport Beach & Oceanside.
We have live music in Old Town and Oceanside, along with a host of special events, all of the big games and every fun holiday. We're family friendly but we have a romantic side too. Ocean views, patio dining and cozy nooks to "Relax a while, Baja Style!"
Our Lobster Tale begins in Puerto Nuevo, about an hour's drive south of San Diego along the Baja Peninsula of Mexico. We'd travel south to feast on Buckets overflowing with Baja Style seasoned Lobster tails, Crab legs, marinated Chicken and Carne Asada. We learned to wrap everything up in warm flour tortillas along with ranchero beans, Mexican rice and a hot red chili sauce. Of course iced Mexican beers and frothy Margaritas were used for "washing it all down". Eventually the idea to bring these great recipes and menu ideas to San Diego and beyond was accomplished. We hope you enjoy your time with us!

"Uh oh! A Lord is going to be talking about profit margins" *run away*
Those aren't the kinds of margins that I've been thinking about this month (honestly!). What I've been thinking about mostly are 'margins of error'.
Nobody's Perfect
It is a fact that none of us are perfect (sorry to break that to you). I have yet to find anyone who has not confessed at some point in their life that they have made a mistake or things haven't gone as planned. In fact most of the interesting stories and the biggest learning come from when things don't go right. 🙂
I'd also argue that the majority of us, regardless of profile, have a degree of perfectionism about us.
Perfectionism… A Friend of Procrastination
From what I've been thinking there are two reasons for perfectionism.
The first is about the desire to get things right. This is most clearly evident in the Dynamo profiles of Mechanic, Creator and Star. Intuitively they know that something isn't quite right and like having an itch they can't scratch they can delay doing anything until they get it right.
From the Mechanic wanting to ensure every little detail is perfect to the Star who insists that something doesn't look right. The problem they often encounter is because the source of their perfectionism is intuition they can't easily explain or identify what is wrong. They just 'know'.
The second reason for perfectionism is insecurity. This is the area of the Tempos, the Deal Makers, Traders and Accumulators. Likely they will have a (full) list of points drawn that they will work through. Unless a time limit is imposed it is likely that they will keep finding fault and making small 'tweaks'.
Obviously both types of perfectionism isn't good in order to get things done. Don't get me wrong, I am a Lord so I can appreciate the drive for perfectionism.
The devil is in the detail after all!
Delegation and Margins of Error
So are Blaze profiles guilty of perfectionism? Well, they can be but as their talent is people they generally know the right people to get things done (and they are the ones who are usually perfectionists). When they give feedback they can oscillate between Dynamo 'doesn't look right but I can't put my finger on it' or Tempo 'here is a list'.
Now we come to the Steel profiles. And an interesting thing happens, I think. I have been accused of perfectionism. I have also been accused of pragmatism. Now both can't be right can they? What I have realised in terms of thinking about the way I look at it is that I never expect 100% (I might desire it but I know reality gets in the way most of the time). I do sometimes oscillate between 'something not right' and 'the list'. Yet, in order to resolve either of these quandaries there is the margin of error.
So, for me, there is an acceptable margin of error. That can shift depending on what is being worked on but I'd give it a range between 80% – 99%.
I don't stick my finger in the air and go I'm in a 99% mood today but rather it is based on several variables:
1. How much time is left before planned completion?
2. Is there flexibility in terms of time after completion to improve?
3. How serious is the margin of error? A seatbelt with a 20% margin of error is a bit different from a business card with a 20% margin of error 😀
It annoys the HELL out of the Dynamos I work with and confuses the Tempos no end.
Yet ultimately, this margin of error allows for decisive decisions and getting things done.
Do you have margins of error? Or are you a perfectionist?

British Cycling is on the brink of failing to push through its governance reforms, putting £43m of Sport England and UK Sport funding in serious doubt.
It is understood that it will fail to reach the required 75% majority vote in favour of the reforms at an emergency general meeting of British Cycling's national council on Saturday.
The governing body was warned that future funding is dependent on it adopting reforms designed to improve governance standards across sport but it has failed to convince enough of the organisation's 130,000 members.
A pressure group has been lobbying against the reforms believing they will leave too much power in the hands of too few. It is understood three of 10 regions voted to reject the measures.
Their elected councillors, who represent them at Saturday's meeting, are mandated to vote in line with their wishes. The proportional representation system means 33 of 109 votes are expected to go against the reforms, meaning British Cycling will fall short of the 75% required.
One national council member said: "The reforms as they are will give the British Cycling board sole control to direct how regional funds are spent, taking the power away from a National Council.
"If you imagine British Cycling as running all horse sports, yet only show jumping has any say in how things are done and any rule changes, horse racing would be up in arms. That's what you have in British Cycling.

New relevance to an old post
Dr Grumble does not read the newspapers that suggested that Mr Prescott was not as well endowed as his mistress might wish. He learnt about this story from Have I Got News For You and has subsequently discovered that the story had its roots in a blog. Perhaps alleging that the organ was the size of a cocktail sausage was a better story than suggesting it was the size of a knockwurst which if Allo Allo is to be believed is really quite big.
But the key question that interests Dr Grumble is whether or not this story has a possible medical basis. Well it does. Because Mr Prescott is somewhat portly and being portly can cause your penis to shrink or even vanish altogether.
Before any of Dr Grumble's fatter readers get too alarmed it should be pointed out that this phenomenon is potentially reversible. In fact the shrinking is really an illusion. It's not the penis itself that shrinks; it's still the same size but it gets lost in the fat. Go on a diet and the penis will magically get larger!
This post was first published on 6th May 2006 under the heading Cocktail Sausages and Mr Prescott. Today we learn the cause of the Prescott embonpoint.

October 23
Author Laurie Halse Anderson was born today.
|9 – 12
|Calendar Activity Type
|Author & Text
Laurie Halse Anderson, the New York Times-bestselling author who is known for tackling tough subjects with humor and sensitivity, was born on this day in 1961. Her work has earned numerous national and state awards, as well as international recognition. Two of her books, Speak and Chains, were National Book Award finalists. Laurie was honored with the 2009 Margaret A. Edwards Award given by YALSA division of the American Library Association for her significant and lasting contribution to young adult literature .
In the novel Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson, the main character lists "the first ten lies they tell you in high school":
1. We are here to help you.
2. You will have time to get to your class before the bell rings.
3. The dress code will be enforced.
4. No smoking is allowed on school grounds.
5. Our football team will win the championship this year.
6. We expect more of you here.
7. Guidance counselors are always available to listen.
8. Your schedule was created with you in mind.
9. Your locker combination is private.
10. These will be the years you look back on fondly.
Discuss with the students if some of these "lies" were similar to the ones they have heard, as well as how they are different. Then, ask students to brainstorm their own personal list of "ten lies they tell you in high school," complete with the truth, or their views on the truth.
Have students share, as a class, the "lies" they have been told in high school and how they've learned differently. Consider publishing a handmade classroom book with the lists of ten lies created by each student, and using it as a "guide to high school" for future students.

Next Week - Webcast about new announcements for midsize workloads
Visits (10372)
Wow! Since my last blog post on this, we have over 600 registrants!Smarter Storage for Midsize Businesses
Businesses of all sizes are getting buried in the avalanche of data. Data is coming in at faster rates and in greater volumes. The value of data is increasing. Old processes and technologies aren't working. Midsize businesses have the same issues managing the rapid growth of data as large enterprises, but they don't have the same size budget or staff. They need advanced capabilities at an affordable price that are easy to implement.
Speakers for this webcast include Brian Truskowski, General Manager, IBM System Storage and Networking; Ed Walsh, Vice President of Market and Strategy, IBM System Storage; and Tommy Rickard, IBM Director, UK Storage Development.
Date: Tuesday, November 6, 2012
[Register now!] Learn how new IBM Smarter Storage solutions can help midsize businesses tame the explosion of information and their IT budgets.

Midsize Insider hosting my WebCast on Storage Management
Visits (11782)
Mark your calendars! Next month, IBM's Midsize Insider is hosting me as a speaker for a Webcast: [Storage Management with IBM], on August 7th, 12pm EDT. Midsize Insider is a valuable repository of expert content tailored for small-to-midsized business owners and IT decision makers.
The problems that used to keep storage managers awake at night -- power, cooling and physical footprint -- are being successfully addressed by technology, but a more vexing issue still remains: How to get more out of the limited supply of skilled storage management professionals.
Demand for storage capacity continues to grow far faster than the pool of people to manage it. With no end in sight to data growth, businesses need to apply technology and practices that distribute management responsibility to the people who need storage, and multiply the volumes of storage that skilled professionals can handle.In this presentation, in this session, I will cover best practices and new tools that are enabling leaps in productivity, in three main areas:

The Gulf war between
Governments from East and West, including the two major superpowers, have consistently refused to address the Kurdish issue, in part because stability in the region has not always been in their political or economic interests. During the Cold War era, both sides were heavily engaged in supporting powerful, yet often dictatorial regimes in the region, particularly in strategically important countries such as
This neglect by industrial nations has allowed the proliferation of chemical weapons and the production of these weapons across the globe. It is the urgent task of the United Nations to put an end, once and for all, to the production, proliferation and use of chemical and biological weapons. It would be made clear that the international community will not suffer arsenal of chemical weapons to be used against states or, indeed, against the minority populations of a particular nation.
In the Gulf war between
The recent history of the Kurds in
The record of the current Iraqi Ba'thist Party, which seized power through a coup d'etat in 1968 [1], reveals a long history of ruthlessness towards its opponents and national minorities. This includes physical and psychological harassment of people; unlawful extermination of individuals and members of the Kurdish and non-Kurdish pro-democracy opposition; violent suppression of mass unrest and, in the case of armed insurgency, bloody and exhaustive warfare on a massive scale regardless of cost.
when crowded schools, education centres and other public buildings were targeted on April 24th 1974 [7]. During the four years of negotiation that preceded this war, the Ba'thist government made several failed attempts to assassinate the powerful Kurdish leader, Mala Mustafa Barzani. One of these attempts, in 1972, involved offering Barzani and his colleagues oranges that had been injected with deadly poisons.
Rumours began to emerge in the early eighties about
Although chemical weapons were not used against them until April, 1987, the Kurds had witnessed these weapons being used on Kurdish soil in Iranian Kurdistan in January, 1982, and against Iranian troops in the fierce battles of Haji Omaran and Grdamand in Arbil province, late in 1983 [8]. Initially, suspicion that Saddam intended to use poison gases against the Kurdish democratic opposition was based on rumour, and speculation on the Iraqi military psychology. Suspicions were subsequently confirmed when taped communications, captured high-ranking military officers [9] and military documents revealed the Ba'thists' terrible plans.
Documents I and II, shown below, were captured by Peshmargas (freedom fighters) of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP), and clearly demonstrate the Iraqi military preparations for the use of chemical and biological weapons long before their eventual use. It is important to note that document I refers to the distribution and stocking of biological materials in addition to chemical ones. This was a further evidence that
It is important to look at the events prior to the use of chemical weapons in Kurdistan to enable the formation of a comprehensive picture of their deployment Therefore, a number of relevant historical events will be mentioned before presenting the available data concerning actual attacks.
Kurds in
The PUK saw a number of possible long-term achievements to be gained in these negotiations. For the first time since 1975, the Ba'thists officially recognised the Kurdish movement; they implicitly recognised the right of the Kurds to fight for their rights and confirmed that no genuine autonomy had been granted to them. In private, Saddam Hussein went as far as making a number of concessions to Talabani, the leader of PUK, promising a number of changes in
Sulaymania, Duhok and
- to remove and deport all the people from the "grey" areas where the government retained only partial control, raze their villages to the ground and prohibit re-building or any other activity (see document LII below).
- to impose a total economic blockade on defined "prohibition zones" where shoot-to-kill policies were applied and no moving creature was allowed to survive (see documents III and IV below).
- to bum down crops, farms, bushes, trees and other plants and to spoil the water supply.
- and finally, to launch systematic, and highly organised attacks on liberated areas at several stages (the Anfal operations, see below) on different fronts, in order to regain control over these areas.
Steps 1, 2 and 3 were all preparations for 4 in order to minimise the support to Kurdish fighters before the final attacks and to impose a total blockade on the whole region including the vast number of civilians and peasants who inhabited the area. It became evident that the target was not merely the Peshmargas but the whole population of
On April 15th, 1987, four planes flew very low over Helladen, Bergallu, Kanitu, Sirwan, Awazic, Noljika and Chinara, all in Sulaymania province [15], and dropped very unusual bombs in each of these small towns and villages. The people were unfamiliar with the strange sound of the bombs, the unusual colour of the smoke, the absence of the normal rocket attacks and the peculiar tin-like bomb shells that actually fell. It was long feared that the Iraqi Government might seek to use chemical weapons in battles with the Peshmarga. However, it did not occur to the villagers that these odd-looking shells were poison weapons, being dropped without any prior fighting or provocation in the area [20]. In Bargalu, five men went to the scene of the bombing after the planes had left and began close examination of the shells and craters. Puzzled by their findings, some (like Mr. Rawaz) went as far as touching the peculiar shells, carrying them to the town centre. It was past midnight before examiners of the bombs, one of whom (Hakem Omar Aziz) now lives in
As a result of this first attack there were tens of serious casualties. In Bargalu, almost all the inhabitants suffered from severe headaches, weakness and other mild symptoms which took several days to disappear. Those who were exposed to heavy doses of the gas, because they were close to the attack area or were downwind, suffered extensive eye, skin and lung injuries. Infection of the wounds often led to complications and many died as a result. Those who survived tended to be disfigured by scars, developed various eye problems or had chronic breathing disorders [17]. Doctors stressed that lack of proper advice on protective measures and ignorance played a significant role in worsening the effects of these bombs. There were no laboratory means of identifying the chemical used. However, from the symptoms and injuries the doctors concluded that a powerful vesicant poison, like Mustard gas, was the agent used in these raids.
On the very next day, April 16th, Arbil province was attacked by Iraqi planes and several villages were bombed with similar poisonous gases. These villages were Sheikh Wassanan, Totma, Zeni, Ballokawa, Alana, Darash and the whole of the
From our contacts with doctors and paramedics in the Kurdish cities, we learnt that all the staff were ordered not to treat or in any way assist victims and were ordered to inform the authorities about the presence of any patient bearing wounds from chemical weapons. Failure to do so, or any moves to publicise the occurrence of such injuries, would be subjected to the severest punishment possible. My mother was severely injured in one of these attacks and was subsequently taken to Arbil for proper medical treatment. There she consulted one of my old medical colleagues in Arbil Teaching Hospital who was shocked and terrified by their meeting. He refused to examine my mother and his only advice to her was to go back to where she came from as soon as possible, or else she would be caught by the authorities like those in Sheikh Wassanan and would not be seen again.
The attacks of April 15th and 16th were followed by daily attacks on villages and Peshmarga strongholds in Arbil and Sulaymania provinces for at least six days (as shown in the table below), causing death and injury to hundreds of people. On May Day, 1987, the people in the liberated areas of Duhok, another province in Iraqi Kurdistan, witnessed their first raids by chemical weapons in which two people died and tens were injured. The major Kurdish
By mid 1987 chemical attacks on the Kurds had become a daily reality and it was clear that the Government would no longer hesitate to use these weapons in spite of the indiscriminate nature of poison gas attack. Unlike the war with Iran, where chemical weapon attacks were almost always preceded by fierce fighting and concern over military defeat, most attacks in Kurdistan were completely unprovoked and were not preceded by military activities by the Peshmarga in those areas. On the contrary, the government used chemical weapons as a preliminary step to terrify people and generate panic before waging organised military offensives. Furthemore, in many instances aircraft were witnessed dropping bombs on uninhabited land and farms far from villages for no apparent military reason other than the poisoning of the environment [20].
Mustard gas at first remained the predominant chemical weapon used and it was not until the Government launched the "Anfal Operations" that the more toxic nerve gases were used on a wide scale in
Escaping death became more difficult. The conventional methods of protection were no longer useful as the gases (odourless and lighter than mustard gas) seeped through the wet breathing-turbans, damaging the respiratory system of the victim. People were seen gasping and struggling for breath and helplessly lying on the ground jerking with convulsions. Mr. K. Bakhtiar, 27, a victim and eye witness recalled his experience when his village was attacked by the fast killing nerve gas. He said: "We all knew it was a gas attack and tried to follow the usual steps of protection. But this time it was different. First, I saw people behaving strangely and so were the animals, acting as if they were struggling. Some were lying on the ground. I saw birds falling off the trees. Every thing was mad. I knew that the situation was very dangerous and I was frightened and did not know what to do but to run away towards the hill. I felt like I was weak, unable to run or fully control my movements. My mouth was full, I could not see properly, but worst of all, I could not breath normally. I did not know what I was doing and realised that I must be dying. I can not remember any more and I must have lost concience. Doctors tell me that it is a true miracle that I am alive and I believe so too. This is my second life and I am trying to enjoy the most of it."
The numbers of deaths increased considerably. In Halabja, 5,000 died and over 9,000 were injured [15]. It is important to clarify events before the holocaust of Halabja and to stress a very important historical fact, as I have noticed that the world media, press and public have been mislead so far. Halabja was not occupied by Iranian troops before the Iraqi planes bombarded the town with chemical weapons. Halabja was liberated from government control by the Kurdish Peshmargas, mainly from the PUK who were partially assisted by the other Kurdish organisations [21]. Mr Shawkat Haji Mushir, a member of the leadership committee of the PUK, led 500 Peshmarga and fought his way towards Halabja while government forces were busy carrying out the Anfal-I operation in Jafaty valley. The people of Halabja, desperate for freedom, welcomed the native Peshmargas, including their leader who was himself from the town of
In Dashti Koya, and the
Chemical attacks became increasingly intense and widespread all over
The available data, see the table below, consists of reported victims with chemical injuries only [15, 17, 20, 21, 23, 28]. It was not easy to maintain a proper record of the casualties in these areas due to the far from ideal circumstances of collecting information. Not registered were those who suffered mild injuries, those who did not come forward for treatment and those who were outside the attack areas and received injuries as a result of breathing-in poison blown by the wind. The latter casualties were much higher than all initial estimates, due to the massive scale of the attacks. An eye witness, Mrs N. Khidir, 49, spoke about her experience in Bargalu when she, and many others, woke up in the morning with headaches, tight chests and a general feeling of weakness. At first she thought her symptoms were due to a bout of flu, but it soon became known that they had been breathing in poison gas which had traveled on the wind from Sargalu, a village few miles away, which was bombarded late the previous night with artillery shells loaded with chemical weapons.
Panic would fill the minds of the people in risk areas with each air raid or artillery bombardment. The whole population would run in panic, screaming "Kimiawy, Kimiawy". Children ran in fear looking for parents, parents wandered in panic trying to account for members of their family. Some would rush to their homes to grab breathing cloths (or old gas masks for the few lucky ones) and then dash to higher altitudes. Mr. F. Karim, 29, an eye witness, said that on one occasion "as soon as the cloud from smoke of the bombs started to spread we went climbing the mountain. Only after reaching the top I realised that I was running with one bare foot and had dropped a fruit sack which I was carrying at the time. I was shaking and we were all looking down at the village in the valley watching the other villagers, including women, children and even animals, running in all directions and we could hear them crying. I suddenly realised that my handicapped cousin was left behind. I wanted to go back and rescue him, but friends stopped me and said 'if you go down you will never come back and we will lose you both. The only thing you could do is to sit down and pray for him'. Mr Karim added "He is martyred, and I still feel guilty because I forgot him at the time of panic, I should have behaved like a brave man and should have saved him despite the risks".
Soon after the planes had gone, people would head towards the areas attacked to assist the injured and bury the dead. The injured were usually taken to local health centres, where young Peshmarga doctors or paramedics were based. For the doctors, the difficulties were endless. In most areas they could not offer any treatment. In most centres, no oxygen or life-support machines were at their disposal to support victims with severe lung or bone marrow damages. They were only able to offer first aid, advice and some symptom- relieving agents like pain killers or eye drops. They used to clean the wounds with antiseptics and protect them from infection. "The severely affected either died before us or were sent across the border to
Also not included in the available data is the amount of damage inflicted by the chemical weapons on the environment and wild life. Mr Omer, 28, injured in March, 1988, and currently being treated in
Kurdistan is the most fertile part of
Animals like birds, chickens, sheep, goats, cows, donkeys, cats, guard dogs and even insects like bees were not spared [20]. Animals suffered in various ways. Some were directly affected just like the humans and killed instantly or suffered from watery eyes, burnt skin, damaged lungs and ill health. Others were indirectly affected either through eating contaminated grass and wild plants or drinking contaminated water. Many starved due to lack of healthy pet food and were therefore put down by their owners. Some of the sick animals and even the more healthy ones were sold at very cheap prices (one tenth or even one twentieth of normal). Owners of these animals had tremendous problems in selling diary products like milk, yoghurt and cheese and even meat because people in the cities refused to buy potentially contaminated animal products. This also forced owners to destroy their animals. It goes without saying that the local wild life all suffered a great deal. There were scenes of snakes lying dead on the ground; falcons lying dead as a result of feeding on the carcasses of poisoned animals; frogs and tortoises lying dead at the lakesides and fish floating dead in the water, dead flies, cockroaches and earthworms were everywhere.
By the end of May, 1988 the area looked like a different planet. The land had become uninhabitable and the people, including the Peshmargas, had to retreat from the Sulaymania area and parts of Arbil province in the face of massive poison attacks. Elsewhere, the Kurds were still able to maintain liberated areas and Peshmargas were able to repulse Government forces in fierce battles, inflicting heavy losses on the government. The situation remained unstable throughout this period until
The lucky ones who managed to cross the border into
The Bahdinan tragedy gained international publicity and aroused public concern world wide. But the governments of the major world powers and of the Middle Eastern countries failed to condemn Saddam for this inhuman attack on his own citizens. The Soviet Union failed to comment on the tragedy in its own internal media and went as far as condemning the Western media for publicising the gas attacks calling it "American propaganda" against sovereign Iraq based on "no evidence" [29]. Some Western countries even rewarded Saddam by increasing his credit for buying military hardware [30]. Most of the Arab states failed to express any humanitarian concern and some of them, such as
The impotence of the international community and the lack of condemnation from individual governments in the face of Saddam's clear violation of human rights allowed this regime to continue with its genocidal war. Indeed, some expert media commentators suggested that western impotence acted as an incentive to Saddam to continue these monstrous attacks [32]. Chemical bombardment of Sheikh Bizeni and Hamea in Kirkuk province and Chami Razan in Sulaymania province in mid October, 1988, only a few weeks after the Bahdinan holocaust, showed that Saddam was swift to realise the opportunity that this lack of opposition offered him.

YANKEES: Bombers stave off elimination, send ALCS back to Texas
NEW YORK -- Texas has two more chances to reach the World Series for the first time.
First, Colby Lewis gets a chance to win the pennant. If he can't finish the job, Cliff Lee would face the New York Yankees in Game 7.
"There's no frustration or feeling like we didn't accomplish what we wanted to do," Rangers third baseman Michael Young said after Wednesday's 7-2 loss in Game 5. "We'll just go home and try to finish it off."
Nick Swisher and Robinson Cano hit consecutive homers to build an early cushion, and CC Sabathia made the lead stand up as the Yankees closed to 3-2 in the AL championship series.
"We're right where we need to be," Swisher said.
A late-arriving crowd for the late-afternoon game wondered whether this would be it for the defending World Series champs after Texas outscored them 25-5 while winning three straight.
A difficult comeback? Yes.
Impossible? No.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi addressed his players early Wednesday after Game 4.
"Before we lost the three games in a row, we won four in a row," he told them.
By the time Curtis Granderson hit an eighth-inning homer for his second RBI of the game, belief among the Yankees was starting to grow.
Now the teams will go deep in the heart of Texas to decide the pennant in the best-of-seven series. When they resume in Arlington for Game 6, Phil Hughes starts for the Yankees against Lewis in a rematch of Game 2, won by the Rangers 7-2.
"It's great. We're going back home," Lewis said. "We've got to win one out of two."
Texas may be holding the ultimate postseason ace in the hole: Lee would be opposed by 19-game postseason winner Andy Pettitte in a seventh game.
"Who cares about Cliff going in Game 7?" Texas right fielder Jeff Francoeur said. "We've got a game to win in Game 6."
Still, Lee's 7-0 postseason record is on their minds. In the 50th anniversary of a franchise that has never reached the World Series, Texas remains one win away.
"We're in a good position," second baseman Ian Kinsler said.
New York is trying to overcome a 3-1 postseason deficit for the first time since 1958. Since the LCS went to a best-of-seven format, 24 of the 30 previous teams to take 3-1 series leads have won pennants.
For Yankees fans, 2004 is still fresh. That's when New York won the first three games of the ALCS before the Boston Red Sox became the first major league team to rebound from a 3-0 postseason hole.
"Crazier things have happened," Swisher said.
Yankees players actually dressed for success. They all arrived at the ballpark ready for a postgame charter flight.
"Our guys came in, everybody was wearing a suit," Swisher said.
Sabathia recovered from an erratic opener, staying away from too much trouble against Josh Hamilton and Texas' big bats. Rangers slugger Nelson Cruz made an early exit because of hamstring trouble, a day after Yankees star Mark Teixeira was lost for the postseason with a hamstring injury.
Cruz expects to play Friday. But no matter what, the season is over for Teixeira. The All-Star first baseman was removed from the postseason roster and replaced by Eduardo Nunez, leaving Teixeira ineligible for the World Series. Lance Berkman took over at first base and had a scare when he slipped chasing Kinsler's foul pop, causing his head and back to snap back. Berkman needed smelling salts in the dugout at the half inning. He stayed in, and caught Elvis Andrus' foul pop for the final out.
"I hurt pretty much the entire back side from the top of the head to the rear-end area," Berkman said.
On what would have been Bob Sheppard's 100th birthday and Mickey Mantle's 79th, the Yankees took a 3-0 lead in the second as losing pitcher C.J. Wilson had trouble with the muddy mound and created a hole with a pair of four-pitch walks. Jorge Posada and Granderson had run-scoring singles, and another run scored on an overthrow of third by right fielder Francoeur for an error.
Posada, a snail-like runner with just 20 steals in 16 seasons, sped home from first base.
"He looked like Rickey Henderson out there," said Derek Jeter, Posada's core four buddy.
Girardi had sensed a change in attitude.
"There was determination that we were going to go out and play our game today," he said. "I saw it during BP."
Sabathia lasted just four innings in the opener, when he started on eight days' rest and the Yankees rallied from a five-run deficit. Leads of 5-0 and 6-1 never seemed comfortable in this one as he allowed two runs and 11 hits -- matching his season high -- in six innings with no walks.
"It's not disappointing. It's a seven-game series," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "Those guys over there are champs. We didn't expect them to lay down, and they came out today and they were very aggressive."

ECH Cancer Center rocks out rooms with art makeovers
Written by Niuniu Teo – Town Crier Editorial Intern
Source: Los Altos Town Crier
Nancy Ballard wasn't looking for another project – she was already a published author, retired businesswoman, mother of three and grandmother of three more.
But when the botanical illustrator from San Francisco was asked to donate her services to help liven up the chemotherapy rooms at El Camino Hospital's Cancer Center, she took one glance at the drab, stiflingly sterile walls and knew she found her next calling.
"I just couldn't let the rooms stay that way," said Ballard, founder of the nonprofit Rooms That Rock 4 Chemo. "They were completely not conducive to healing. I had to do something."
The hospital hosted a dedication ceremony Aug. 5 for the four redecorated rooms, thanks to Ballard and others. Bonnie J. Addario, founder of the Bonnie J. Addario Lung Cancer Foundation, personally funded the project. Art.com donated wall art and framing supplies for the rooms.
Rooms That Rock 4 Chemo has redecorated 86 rooms at 10 hospitals in multiple countries.
Organizers recruit local designers and volunteers, resulting in different teams for each project. Many of the organization's dedicated volunteers hail from the Bay Area.
MaryAnn Ho, a former lab manager and classmate of Ballard's in their botanical illustration class, helped with the stenciling on the walls of El Camino's examination rooms.
"We're really impressed by Nancy's project," Ho said. "I'm really glad I got to help out."
Ballard has set her sights on a number of other facilities, including a children's hospital in El Salvador. She's also visiting China soon.
"As long as there's the tiniest thing I can do to make life a little better for the patients, I'll do it," Ballard said at the dedication ceremony. "I'll just keep knocking on doors."
Ballard has discovered that it's no easy task informing hospital officials that their facilities need a makeover.
Research has long shown that patients' mental health and morale are vital to their recoveries and that their environment plays a role in the healing process. Patients have an easier time maintaining their spirits when surrounded by a warm, relaxing atmosphere, as opposed to the cold, drab walls in most hospitals.
Shane Dormady, M.D., an oncologist and El Camino Hospital's Cancer Center medical director, said he believes in the power of environment.
"My philosophy as a cancer specialist is that patients have better outcomes when their heart, mind and body are united in fighting the disease," he said. "Guided imagery helps foster positive thoughts that in turn help the treatment."
El Camino's refurbished rooms have elevated the moods of everyone involved, including Amanda Cardenas, 35, a patient of Dormady's who was diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer last December and has endured 12 rounds of chemotherapy in the past week alone.
"For me, the hardest thing was always the what-ifs," Cardenas said. "In these rooms, your mind can center, and you can ground yourself."
El Camino staff take pride in focusing on the patient's experience, and the remodeled rooms are a testament to the hospital's holistic approach to patient care.
"We want patient-centered care at every turn, and this is really about the patients," said Kimberly Beck, senior specialist for the hospital's communications and media.
Hospital officials have high hopes for the rooms and their impact on patients.
"If you see the rooms, they emphasize life," Dormady said. "Intense conversations happen in these rooms – talk about life or death. These rooms have the power to elevate people and keep them optimistic, which you have to do as a cancer patient."

BALTIMORE (AP) Dave Coley scored a game-high 17 points and Stony Brook never trailed in defeating Maryland-Baltimore County 67-60 Wednesday night in an America East Conference game.
The Seawolves (14-5, 5-1), who also got double-figure scoring from Tommy Brenton (12 points) and Carson Puriefoy (10), led 33-26 at halftime and by as many as 15 points in the second half.
UMBC (4-15, 2-4) got double-figure scoring from Ryan Cook (14 points, including three treys) and 11 points each by Chase Plummer, Brett Roseboro and Quentin Jones.
Stony Brook had a huge, decisive edge at the free-throw line. The Seawolves were 20 for 26 from the stripe, while UMBC took just 7 free throws, hitting 5 of 7.
Stony Brook's 5-of-11 3-point shooting included two treys apiece by Puriefoy and Coley, who also grabbed eight rebounds. The Seawolves had a 42-34 rebounding advantage.

Jared's Story: Time for Family
Age: 36 - Occupation: pediatrician - Married, one child
How the Family Care Benefit provided the ability to care for a loved one
Jared's daughter was born with a heart defect. They visited multiple specialists to diagnose the condition and determine the appropriate treatment. Then his daughter underwent surgeries, hospital stays and months of follow-up appointments. Benefits from Jared's Platinum Advantage policy helped make up for the income lost when Jared spent time away from work to attend physician appointments and to be with his daughter in the hospital and throughout her extended recovery — providing peace of mind during a trying time.
Jody's Story:
Supportive Office Equipment
Age: 42 - Occupation: accountant - Married, no children
Assistance on the road to recovery through a rehabilitation program
Jody's role as an accountant at a small firm requires a lot of computer work. After sustaining a serious back injury from a car accident, Jody was totally disabled under her Platinum Advantage policy. Jody's doctor recommended she purchase assistive equipment to help her work comfortably at her desk without aggravating her condition. She was able to return to work full time after participating in a rehabilitation program in which expenses for a sitstand desk and other ergonomic accommodations were paid for under her Platinum Advantage policy. These modifications helped ensure she could return to work safely, without hindering her recovery.
David's Story: Starting a Medical Career
Age: 33 - Occupation: dermatology physician - Single, no children
Benefits that match career growth through the Benefit Increase Rider
David is completing his dermatology residency and just accepted an offer at a private practice. Before the end of his residency, he purchased a Platinum Advantage policy that included the Benefit Increase Rider, knowing his income will rise significantly after he starts his first post-residency job. The benefit also will allow his policy to grow with him as he progresses in his career and receives additional salary increases. David values the fact that his coverage going forward will match his developing career.
Jason's Story: Accidents Happen
Age: 35 • Occupation: orthopedic surgeon • Married, two children
Finding work in a new occupation with the Own Occupation Rider
Jason injured his right hand in an accident and was unable to return to his job as an orthopedic surgeon because he couldn't perform surgery. Due to his medical training, he was able to return to work as a family medicine physician. Jason was considered totally disabled in his regular occupation as an orthopedic surgeon — even though he earns an income from another occupation as a family medicine physician — because of the own occupation definition of total disability included in his Platinum Advantage policy. Because of this, he receives the policy's full basic monthly benefit, in addition to the income he receives in his new position.

"Our True Nature is assembled in the style of Lonely Planet and written in very friendly, down-home
style of someone oozing with enthusiasm and desire for all to share in the US National Parks.
Even more interesting is her commentary on the unheard African-American contributions to
the National Parks!

explore more of the parks that are closer to home.
This is the perfect book to jump-start the novice.
I look forward to the next volume that explores MORE of our national treasures"
W. Stewart

You Like A Bruce Springsteen T-Shirt In H&M, Then Realise It Isn't Actually Intended For You
(Note: the situation I'm about to describe can also be applied to a Fleetwood Mac Rumours T-shirt in TopShop.)
I was 13 when Born In The USA came out. But – being 13 – I didn't quite 'get' it. In 1984, I was listening to Wham! and Duran Duran, and I didn't understand why a sweaty, shouty man in a bandana was dancing in the dark, let alone on fire. (Mind you, I didn't really understand Duran Duran's lyrics, either. But then, who did?)
No, Born In The USA only came to life for me three years later, when it became the soundtrack to a school exchange trip to Germany (turns out the Germans liked Bruce Springsteen, even if I didn't).
Forced to listen to Immersed in tracks like Glory Days, Downbound Train and Bobby Jean – under the summery skies of Bavaria, and occasionally through the PA system of a coach – Bruce, and his songs, suddenly began to make sense to me. Of course, this might have been due to the fact that I was now a wiser, more musically sophisticated, hormonal 16-year-old… But whatever the reason, I grew to love what is, of course, a glorious album. Although Bruce was still a little too sweaty for my liking.
And then later in the same year, I gained an American pen friend – a brooding, intellectual type from Massachusetts – who worshipped Bruce Springsteen and sent me cassette tapes of all his earlier albums, along with an end-of-year essay he'd written about the meanings and imagery in Jungleland.
As a result, I fell hook, line and New Jersey fishing boat sinker for Springsteen. More specifically: for his music, which was unlike anything else I was listening to at the time. The energy of songs like Rosalita and Badlands, the sheer sexiness and lowdown dirtiness of tracks like For You and The River, the plaintive cries of troubled smalltown Americans who wanted to flee their small lives – whether forever or just for one night – in songs like Born To Run, Hungry Heart and Atlantic City… Springsteen's music was exotic and familiar all at once. I too wanted to leave my small town (Wombourne, Staffordshire), although unfortunately I couldn't drive, which all of Bruce's protagonists seemed able to do. And while I'd never known what it was like to make love in the dirt – let alone to do so with a girl called 'Crazy Janey' – I dreamed of it happening some day soon. Preferably with a boy wearing a denim shirt and a guitar slung over his shoulder… sigh…
Sorry, where was I?
Ah, yes. Standing in H&M. Looking at a Bruce Springsteen T-shirt.
I'd owned a Fame T-shirt as a girl, but never a Bruce Springsteen one. So imagine my delight when, as a fortysomething, I spotted one in H&M. As I stood there handling this cheap-yet-magnificent item of clothing, my delight turned to admiration as I realised what excellent taste the people at H&M head office had. "Wow, like me, they realise how under-appreciated Bruce and Born In The USA are!" I thought to myself. "Good for them! They've made a T-shirt for people who love Born In The USA, like me!".
And then it hit me.
Standing in H&M, surrounded by H&M's core demographic, it hit me.
This T-shirt wasn't meant for me. It was meant for girls whose parents owned and appreciated Born In The USA. It was meant for girls who probably thought that this was quite amusing. That Bruce Springsteen is cool but only in an ironic, my-parents-like-him, way.
They say that if you remember a fashion the first time around, you shouldn't wear it the second time. Thus the resurgence of Eighties looks in the Noughties was not aimed at people like me, but at kids who found it cool and ironic to wear Eighties fashions and had no idea how we suffered for our crimped hair and puffball skirts.
Likewise, this T-shirt wasn't made for me, or any of my fellow fortysomething Springsteen fans. It was made for 21 year-old actresses:
(That's Emma Roberts, niece of 45 year-old Bruce Springsteen fan Julia Roberts.)
And 23-year-old fashion bloggers:
For me to copy this phenomenon – ie to wear a T-shirt resplendent with the cover of an album my parents owned when I was growing up – I would have to walk around with this on my chest:
Beethoven's Symphony No.6, as never seen on any T-shirt
And so I left H&M feeling slightly sad, and really rather old, because (a) I really wanted to wear that Born In The USA T-shirt, but (b) I realised that it was intended for girls young enough to be my daughter or niece. And to add insult to injury, (c) it then dawned on me that those clever people at H&M's head office who had come up with the idea probably weren't my age, either. That H&M's head office is staffed by ironic twentysomethings whose parents like Bruce Springsteen.
Good old – and by old, I do of course mean young – H&M.
Oh, and that's the other thing. You know you're over 40 when it's something of a struggle to call it H&M. Because in your heart, it was, is, and always will be: Hennes.

Harmonized Access V1
Harmonized Access
Synchronize Access Algorithm for Identity related user data
Harmonized access, as per protocols established within the organization is tough to achieve. Getting to a one-point management of passwords with bi-directional synchronization of users, groups and roles, is a way towards creating coherent IT systems.
Identity Bridge synchronizes user information in a streamlined fashion to achieve smooth workflows when more than one Identity Management System is involved.
- Enables identity information to flow between IdM platforms along with SSO in a Hybrid setup.
- Allowing dynamically distributed Identity and Access technologies to run in a harmonized manner.
- Paving the way for effective integration and configuration of applications in a hybrid setting.
How to determine EPIC user security? The most prevalent question posted to any Epic Security Team is: "Who has access to what in Hyperspace?" Whether it be asked by the organization's leadership or an external entity, it behooves the Security Team to be prepared for this question at all times. The Security Team should be the last line of defense as it relates to granting access in Epic. Although the Security Team should not be the primary decision-maker as to who receives access to what, the team should enforce decisions made by others. In order to determine EPIC user security, the following steps must be taken: 1. Prior to Go-Live, application analysts meet with the stakeholders and sponsors in each area that requires Epic access to understand workflows and system configuration needed to function effectively. The application analysts and teams concentrate on providing the access necessary to support the validated workflows. This is where the role of the Security Team is so important. While the application teams are busy granting access, the Security Team should be busy restricting access. Integration tools such as Identity Bridge help in protecting the account as well. 2. The model system must be scrutinized for security and access by the Security Team for ensuring EPIC user security. Records that are delivered with the foundation system, or model system, grant more access than required by most organizations. The reason why most model records can be used without modification is due to the fact they usually "give away the store." The security classes, roles, menus, activities, profiles, and other security-related records are developed by Epic as a "one-size fits most." Depending on the policies and procedures of the organization, what is granted in model records may not be permitted or desired for your organization. You may check Identity Bridge as well for such integration. 3. The policies and procedures of the organization – along with HIPAA, HITECH, and other regulatory mandates involving security and privacy – must be considered by the Security Team. Outside of being intimately familiar with HIPAA, HITECH and other regulatory mandates, the first thing the Security Team should concentrate on is understanding the policies and procedures of the organization. Armed with this knowledge, the Security Team can then review the validated workflows with a keen awareness of what the organization allows and what they do not. The Security Team can then address any "breaches" of policy or procedure early in the build stage. As the build matures and User Templates are being created, a methodology of build and review should be agreed upon by the application and security teams. The methodology should center around restricting access, not granting access. With Identity Bridge, you get Harmonized access as per protocols established within the organization is tough to achieve. Further, get one-point management of Passwords with bi-directional synchronization of user, group and role profile data is a way towards creating coherent IT Systems. Ultimately, operational and clinical leadership should decide on the access required for each role within the organization for safeguarding EPIC user security. It is then the Security Team's responsibility to take that information and make it functional for end users by granting and, more importantly, restricting access.
