1 – Calling the Muslims: "Pagans"
Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim
#1 – Calling the Muslims: "Pagans"
It is not permitted to charge Muslims – believers in monotheism who pray with you, fast, pay zakât, and perform pilgrimage shouting over and over, "Ever at Your call, O Allah! Ever at Your call, there is no partner with You, ever at Your call! Truly all glory and praise, all favor and grace belong to You, and all sovereignty and dominion! No-one can be a partner to You!" – It is not permitted, by Law, to charge them with idolatry (al-shirk) the way your books and publications are filled with such charges; the way your preacher clamors on the day of the Major Hajj in the mosque of al-Khayf in Mina, the eve of the Feast of the pilgrims and all Muslims; and the way his fellow preacher frightens the people of Makka and those in the Holy Mosque on the Day of `Id al-Fitr through all their verbal assaults and false accusations. Stop this, and may Allah guide you! To frighten a Muslim is prohibited, especially the dwellers of the Two Sanctuaries. There are many sound sacred texts to that effect.
#2 – Calling the Muslims: "Apostates"
You have declared the Sufis disbelievers then the Ash`aris. You have denied and denounced imitation of and adherence to the Four Imams (Abu Hanifa, Malik, al-Shafi`i, Ahmad ibn Hanbal) whereas their imitators formed and continue to form the vastest mass (al-sawâd al-a`zam) of the Muslims, just as the official ideology of your state and that instituted by King `Abd al-`Aziz – may Allah have mercy on him! – textually stipulates reliance upon, and due consideration of the Four Madhâhib. Therefore, stop this, and may Allah Most High guide you!
Whoever turns disbeliever after his Islam has the status of an apostate (murtadd) whose killing becomes licit. Therefore, remember the narration of your Prophet the Elect One – Allah bless and greet him and his Family: "Do not revert after me and turn disbelievers again, striking at one another's neck."1
#3 – Calling the Muslims: "Deviants"
After you finished doing the above, you let loose certain hirelings you had nurtured, so that they began to throw accusations of misguidance and deviance at the Islamic groups and organizations that work in the field of calling to Islam (da`wa) and are active raising up the Word of Allah and commanding good and forbidding evil. I mean organizations such as Jama`at al-Tabligh; al-Ikhwan al-Muslimin; the Deobandi group that represents the brightest Ulema of India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh; and the Barelwi group that represents the vastest mass of the common Muslims in those countries. In so doing they have made use of books, tapes, and the like. Then you went and translated those books into various languages, distributing them free through your numerous outlets. Likewise, you published a book that contains the declaration that the people of Abu Dhabi and Dubai are disbelievers, together with the Ibadis, your colleagues on the board of Majlis al-Ta`awun. As for your attacks on the renowned Azhar University and its scholars, they are too numerous to count!
#4 – Calling the Muslims: "Innovators"
You keep repeating the phrase of the noble hadith, "Every innovation is misguidance"2 without discernment, only to criticize and condemn others, only to criticize and condemn others, yet approving certain actions that contradict the Prophetic Sunna without condemning them nor counting them as innovations. We shall list some of them…
1 Narrated from Ibn `Umar and Jarir – Allah be well-pleased with them – by al-Bukhari and Muslim.
2 Narrated from Jabir ibn `Abd Allah – Allah be well-pleased with him – by Muslim. See Sayyid `Abd Allah ibn al-Siddiq al-Ghumari's Itqan al-Sun`a fi Tahqiq Ma`na al-Bid`a.

Is it normal to be offered positions (in private language schools) almost immediately and then pressurised to make a decision very quickly? Among others I have been offered a part time 1 month trial period starting very soon, but I am worried that if after a month I don't get on with them, it will be the end of November and no one will be hiring. Is this the case? And does anyone have anything to say about Kent School of English, Dilko Kadikoy (what's up with Levent's pushiness?), Interlang Bakirkoy, International House or Deulcom Taksim? Also about the work visa, is it really necessary to go back to England? A couple of the schools have offered to share the cost of the flight (good thing I'm not Australian!) - is this standard? Does the going to Greece thing work well - anyone had any troubles with that? lots of questions, any answers would be appreciated. Cheers, Katherine Back to top ghostJoined: 30 Jan 2003Posts: 1692Location: Saudi Arabia Posted: Wed Oct 15, 2003 11:22 am Post subject: language school teaching Language school teaching in Turkey is a good example of the 'supply-demand' concept. The pay varies a lot too depending on the school and can range from a low of 5000.000 per hour ($3.55) to 20.000.000 per hour ($14.20). The rules for language schools have changed this year, as all of them have received new document directives from the Ministry of Education telling them what procedures they should follow to hire foreigners. It will now be more difficult for 'back packers' to simply show up and obtain a job because they speak English. The new directives from the Ministry state that English teachers should now have appropriate qualifications including degrees in English language and teacher training. The old style B.A. plus 4 week T.E.F.L. Certificate will no longer be validated for teachers coming here. Some schools will ask you to return to your country to do the Embassy-Consulate thing. Other schools will take the risk of employing you 'under the table' and paying you cash. This is dangerous for the school and for the teacher, because the schools can be heavily fined and the teachers can (in theory) be deported and told not to return to Turkey. The Ministry of Education list of Yabanci teachers is not yet computerized but when it becomes so, teachers will have a harder time circumventing the laws here because it will be easier to trace them. Everything is changing here and it is now becoming rather inconvenient to teach here with all the red tape involved.

According to my boss, who's been running a language school for about 15 years, there have been no new directives regarding type of degree: the English/Education degree stipulation applies only to K-12 schools. Can't comment on individual schools in Istanbul, but there are often vacancies in late Autumn/Winter. Good luck qatherine, I hope you find a good place soon.Last edited by FGT on Fri Oct 17, 2003 11:24 pm; edited 1 time in total Back to top ghostJoined: 30 Jan 2003Posts: 1692Location: Saudi Arabia Posted: Fri Oct 17, 2003 4:23 pm Post subject: Language school pay rates Well maybe in Istanbul (where rents are higher) they offer around 15.000.000 per hour, but I can assure you that if you leave the 'Big City' there are schools where you will only be offered salaries in the 5000.000 to 7.000.000 range (or less!). In other places salaries of 10.000.000 are considered very good and you would be considered lucky to get that much. I know this because these where the scales offered to a recently dismissed teacher. Also ask your boss about the new directives (forms) from the Ministry in Ankara that should have landed in all the language schools in Turkey (provided of course that these language schools are actually registered in Turkey).

The topic was Istanbul so I naturally quoted the Istanbul or other big city rate. There may well be other rates paid in small towns, though I (personally) doubt as low as 5 mill. In large cities, I repeat, 15 mill. TL is the MINIMUM. My comment re new directives holds : none received at an authorized school in a big city. Back to top ghostJoined: 30 Jan 2003Posts: 1692Location: Saudi Arabia Posted: Sat Oct 18, 2003 4:49 pm Post subject: Pay rates I would like to believe you about the 15 million per hour rate for Istanbul, but even there I doubt that all schools pay this rate...one of the reasons...there are many unqualified backpackers willing to work for less than that and many do. With regard to the new directives from the Ministry of Education, your school has perhaps ignored the recommendations and guidelines because they know that it would be very hard to fulfil the requirements.

I also asked the DoS at the Istanbul International House and he had heard nothing of the sort. By the way, I have been offered jobs in language schools frequently since I arrived in Turkey over a year ago (easier to hire in-country) and none have paid less than 1.2 billion TL/24/hr week. They all offer housing. The IH pay is $1200US for a 24/hr week, plus food allowance and Turkish lessons. Not so dire... Here in Kayseri I was offered an after school business-conversation classjob, 6 teaching hours a week (ie 45 minutes times two per night, three times a week), at 500 million/month. That's 20 million/hour. Not bad. Back to top ghostJoined: 30 Jan 2003Posts: 1692Location: Saudi Arabia Posted: Sun Oct 19, 2003 3:45 pm Post subject: New rules for foreign teachers in Turkey I was shown the dreaded paper today in my new Institute and the gist of it is that the Ministry of Education is now working in conjunction with the Calisma Bakanıgı (this is the general ministry of labour or something of that nature). Before it used to be easier because the Ministry of Education would basically approve everyone who had the B.A. plus a T.E.F.L. Certificate. Now after the Ministry of Education approves your papers they have to be sent to the Calima Bakanigi for their approval...and this ministry is more picky than the first one, so many teachers will not be approved. Plus my school explained that the new rules with the two ministries are much more time consuming and they will think twice about employing foreigners. In many cases they will reduce their hiring practices.

The IH dos told me this and IH is quite reputable. By the way, just because I haven't got a BEd, it doesn't mean I'm one of the much disparaged unqualified 'backpackers' that you seem to find distasteful. Please do not throw that term around lightly. I will not work for poor wages and I will do a quality job. Back to top ghostJoined: 30 Jan 2003Posts: 1692Location: Saudi Arabia Posted: Mon Oct 20, 2003 10:30 am Post subject: new rules The new rules will make it harder for foreigners to work in Turkey in the future. The process will take longer and will be less flexible than in the past. I know this because I have been just been hired by a new school and they are having to go through a lot of trouble to get the paper work sorted out, despite the fact that I already possess the one year work permit from my home country consulate, and have all the required qualifications. About back-packers....it is not a disparaging term, but put it this way, if you wanted to learn Turkish at Tömer or any other language for that matter, who would you prefer to learn from, someone with teacher training or a back-packer tourist? Yes, I know....just because you are teacher trained does not mean that you will know how to teach well, but in most cases you stand a better chance of learning a foreign language from a qualified teacher as opposed to an individual subsidizing a foreign experience with some 'teaching'....

That's just the news stations. Go on forums or something else and you'll get people telling you what they ACTUALLY thought. I have family and friends in England as well, and they didn't like it either for example.
Forums don't make up the majority though, and what "something else" are you referring to so I can check for myself?
Not forums, but the majority of people in real life. Check on the internet, in different places (school, work...) check with unbiased people from your own country. You'll see for yourself.
I have and the majority actually did enjoy it. I know a lot of people from US/CA/Asia/Europe who agree, I can't speak for the majority of the 1billion people who watched it but neither can you. All I can judge it from is what I have seen, which is a positive reaction to it.
Personally, I'm judging from the reactions I've seen from people, and from a lot of friends and family abroad. Most people seem to either not like it much or dislike it, but whatever.
1% evil. 99% fangirl.
Opening is always entertaining. #NBCFAIL is pretty descriptive of the US coverage of opening.
Primary BBC feed starts with Benedict Cumberbatch. He does not make an appearance in the NBC version. The cuts between cameras was pretty tight with the BBC version. The NBC version seemed like it was switching too late most of the time. Most important, despite having 4 presenters they STFU for 95% of the opening. Whereas NBC just droned on and on.
BBC also had an 3D HD feed (a mear 13gb if you're so inclined). Different presenters, different cuts. A lot of wide shots. If you wanted to get a feel for how it felt to be in the stadium, this was the feed to watch on your big screen.
Loved it! The gigantic Voldemort and Marry Poppins made me smile :3 The fake entrance with the Queen was also pretty enteratining~
Parade of Nations always takes up a long time...I remember I was watching the C's come out then went out to do some grocery shopping and came back right as the U's came out.

Over all it was just damn weird. I really didn't get the feeling it was about the Olympic spirit or much about the country. Why on Earth did they focus forever on the internet age bit? Yes the man who can take much of the credit for the internet is British, but is it really necessary to have a long nonsensical dance party about it? Really how the hell did that girl know that guy found her phone when he was texting her missing phone which he had just found? I can't imagine how it was for the audience. Sorry to say it wasn't good. It didn't give any message worth giving. Just labeled the British as a bunch of kooky white people.
Didn't care enough to watch it, it doesn't help that, as other have said, NBC's coverage sucks, all highlights and nothing live. If you want to stream it you have to have paid tv subscription or pay for the stream, despite just about every where else getting free streaming. Finally, The Olympic Committee is just insane with all the concessions and special rights they demand from the host country.
Too much of a pain so don't care.
You've gotta love internet forums.
Warriors dropping their opinions and shoot off saying without explain anything or offering any other suggestions.
If you look back at the China Olympics, budget was huge. The doors were open and China had to make a massive impression which they did and did fantastically too. They had to follow on from Australia (which was also pretty good) Baring in mind how cheap everything is over there compared to the UK, the money will go even further. In my experience of the Chinese (i worked in Shanghai for nearly 2 years) is that they love spanking cash, enjoying the good things in life. Therefore a superb opening which can't ever be rivalled unless the world put's it's cash together to host a gig.
The ceremony in the UK could of been better but it is what it was. Some parts were like WTF and some parts were pretty cool. Recession was mention a shed load of times and rightly so. Although the UK is ranked as one of the wealthiest countries in the world, everyone's pocket is a lot shallower than previous years. The swimming pool and basketball arena in London are being taken apart post para-Olympic games and the materials are being sent to Rio for the 2016 Olympics. It's cheaper to do this than source new materials in Brazil even though they have good natural resources.
People mentioned NBC coverage, was it really that bad? BBC's was epic, HD everywhere and delivered footage from nearly every sport.
Gotta love Dragow120 comment, 'British as a bunch of kooky white people'
UK's gotta be one of the most diverse countries in the world. Take a walk around London, There's a flurry of different ethnic people darting about the place.

Patrice Chereau
Innovative director of
opera, film, theater
Patrice Chereau, 68, a celebrated French actor and director in film, theater and opera who was renowned for cutting-edge productions, died Monday in Paris of complications related to cancer, said the Artmedia talent agency that represented him.
Impassioned by the performing arts at a young age, Chereau showed breadth as a director — from his revolutionary production of Richard Wagner's "Ring" cycle at the 1976 Bayreuth Festival to his blood-soaked 16th century period piece and biopic "Queen Margot," a 1994 film starring French icon Isabelle Adjani which won the Jury prize at the Cannes Film Festival.
Chereau, who headed the Cannes jury in 2003, chalked up directing credits on dozens of plays and operas, plus 10 films. His 2001 film "Intimacy" won the Golden Bear in Berlin.
He made a long-overdue U.S. debut at the Met four years ago with Leos Janacek's final opera, "From the House of the Dead," based on a 19th century novel by Fyodor Dostoevsky. Chereau's production of Richard Strauss' "Elektra" has been scheduled for the 2015-16 season at the Met.
His film acting roles included Gen. Montcalm in "The Last of the Mohicans" (1992) and Camille Desmoulins in "Danton" (1983).
Chereau was born Nov. 2, 1944, in Lezigne, France, and studied at the Sorbonne before starting a theater company.
Ernie Dunlevie
Developer helped found
Palm Springs Golf Classic
Ernie Dunlevie, 96, a Coachella Valley real estate developer who co-founded the original Palm Springs Golf Classic that came to be known for its celebrity participants and longtime host Bob Hope, died Sunday night at his home in Bermuda Dunes of complications from cancer.
His death was announced by the organizers of the current PGA Tour event, the Humana Challenge.
Dunlevie was born in New York City on Aug. 3, 1917, and came west with his mother after graduating from high school in 1936. Apart from his military service in World War II, he lived the rest of his life in the Coachella Valley.
After the war, Dunlevie became involved in real estate and began developing golf courses and housing tracts in resort settings. He and a partner, Ray Ryan, developed Bermuda Dunes Country Club in 1959 and, capitalizing on the migration of celebrities looking for second homes in the low desert, were instrumental in attracting Clark Gable, Cary Grant and other Hollywood stars to the club.
The inaugural Palm Springs Golf Classic was held in 1960 and won by Arnold Palmer. For most of the tournament's history, it was played with pro golfers and celebrity amateurs over five days in January and on four different courses, among them Bermuda Dunes.
Dunlevie represented Bermuda Dunes on the tournament's board. In 1965, he and another board member, Milt Hicks, persuaded Hope to lend his name to the event, as his fellow entertainer Bing Crosby had done for years in Monterey. For decades, the tournament was called the Bob Hope Desert Classic and then the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic.
"Just by having Hope's name on the tournament gave us legitimacy," Dunlevie told the Desert Sun newspaper in 2004.
Marc Merson
TV producer staged
consumer shows
Marc Merson, 82, a film and television producer who went on to a second career organizing national consumer shows for environmental products, died of heart failure Sept. 29 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, his family said.
Born Sept. 9, 1931, in New York, Merson got his start in television, producing segments for anthology programs and specials including a 1967 staging of George Bernard Shaw's "Androcles and the Lion" featuring music by Richard Rodgers.
Merson's film credits include "The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter" (1968), "Leadbelly" (1976) and "Doc Hollywood" (1991).
In 1990 he and his wife, actress Nina Wilcox, launched Eco Expo, a traveling marketplace for environmental products and services.
Producing consumer shows wasn't so far removed from the entertainment world, Merson told The Times in 1991.
"The fact that I come from the show business field is not accidental," he says. "Part of the vision is saying, 'We're going to put on a show.' My whole sense is to bring together things that will interest, will excite people and then will get them into action."
Henry Guettel
Film executive and
Broadway producer
Henry Guettel, 85, a film executive with 20th Century Fox and Columbia Pictures as well as a former head of the Theatre Development Fund, died Monday of pneumonia in Southampton, N.Y., according to his wife, Mary Rodgers Guettel.
Guettel had been a vice president at 20th Century Fox and Columbia Pictures before leading the Theatre Development Fund, the not-for-profit performing arts service organization best known for operating the TKTS Booths. He was executive director for a decade beginning in 1982.
He was a stage manager for the 1950 Broadway production of "Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep" and went on to help produce such Broadway shows as "Sugar Babies" and "Romulus." Guettel also produced national tours of Broadway shows in the 1960s, including "The Sound of Music," "The Best Man" and "Camelot."
Guettel was born Jan. 8, 1928, in Kansas City, Mo. He and his wife, who is composer Richard Rodgers' older daughter, have two children, Adam Guettel, who composed "The Light in the Piazza," and Alec Guettel.

Just tried CR on my Droid Incredible with 2.2 Virtuous ROM, worked like a charm except battery got a little warm. Would be nice if the mobile CR site was more "optimized for mobile". (or at least that's what my flash player was arguing about)
Also, this was on Verizon 3G on SD. No stutters whatsoever.
Edit: And the first part I was using the regular CR site, with SD version of episode. But still, an app version would make it easier to browse.
I would also like an Android app.
I use the regular site and it works OK, but not all that well for mobile usage.
For one, it uses CPU decoding (Is that because flash does not have GPU decoding on android at all, or that it just dosnt have it for that codec?)
And it is VERY poor when the connection drops out. You have to re load the entire page to continue playback.
I watch it on the train and there are two places allong the line where the reception drops out, and this is very frustrating.
Also its hard to press the buttons on the player sometimes because they are quite small, you have to zoom right in on the buttons just to press them.
So yes it works, but can we please get a native app? If its a native app I would imagine that it would use the internal media player framework that supports proper hardware decoding, and would also deal with connection drop outs and stalls much better than the crappy flash player.
Oh and also have a more finger friendly UI
I tried the mobile site today, and the video was all messed up! it seems the bleach 288 that is up there has a corrupted video stream.
(or the streaming server was playing up if you do on-the fly transcoding?)
Having some video issues with CR in Android. Getting a lot of green pixels. Like it's not encoded right. Anyone else seeing this or is it just my Evo?

The videos work fine on my HTC EVO so you should try uninstalling the Adobe Flash Player and installing the latest version from the market. Also, do you have a 3rd party ROM installed? Someone else experienced a different problem due to a ROM they had installed.

The videos working okay on my Motorola Droid 1.
I was wondering why the recent page on the mobile site shows different episodes compared to the full site?

Also, sometimes new episodes don't show up like Mitsudomoe episodes.
I support this thread!!! We need an app SOOON Plz :)
Adobe Flash 10.1.92.10 added hardware video acceleration for H.264 videos. My CPU is still maxed out though. I guess there are still issues with it (on my Motorola Droid 1 at least).
Adobe Flash 10.1.95.2 fixed the slow audio issue.
http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime/recent and http://m.crunchyroll.com/anime/?tab=recent still show different episodes.
The Recent tab on the mobile site seems to just display the last few videos that were released and even shows multiples of the same series if multiple were recently released while the Recent tab on the main site shows all of the Simulcast shows and lists when the last episode was released for each. Though, I think the best option is to eventually change the page to display like it does through the iPhone app.
As for the new version of Flash, I think we're going to have to re-encode the videos in order to take advantage of the hardware acceleration since the videos currently aren't 'Mobile Optimized'.
Former Crunchyroll Employee
Any timeline to when the mobile videos will become "mobile optimized"?
BasouKun A lot of the videos work on my Droid X, but they still say its not mobile optimized can you get rid of that message? when most of the videos work? It is annoying to get that message.
Just watching some on-going animes
Tried testing out the mobile version of the site and streaming a video.
Picked "Sora No Otoshimono Forte", seemed to work fine. Though I did detect some minor lag.
Using a HTC Desire, dunno what OS, maybe the latest android?
To me it's pretty clear that the experience is not the same for everyone, as flash is not hardware accelerated so a lot of things can lag the video quite a bit, even on a powerful phone like the EVO.
Rather than put the time in on a mobile site, I really think that an app is clearly the way to go here considering that Android is now the most popular mobile platform in the US at this moment.
It would be very nice to have some kind of time line or project progress from the CR team. As it stands, my time to watch anime is at work and while riding a bus. I cannot do that via CR on my phone as it stands (and there are others) so I would have to resort to downloading fansubs rather than legally licensed simulcasts CR provides.
I beg CR to fully support the popular android platform with a fully functional app.

I have no estimated time but it's on our to-do list and being actively pursued. I think we're trying to hire a new person to work on it, among other things, since out current staff probably won't have the time and know how to do it (without first doing extensive research).
Though, I'm not really sure if Android is ready for video streaming outside of Adobe Flash. TV.com is the only Android App I see that legally offers tv shows and I'm pretty sure they have to split the videos into multiple parts when they stream it which is not ideal. Not even Netflix, with their millions upon millions of dollars, has created an Android app yet; though they have confirmed that they are working on one some months ago.
I think Android 3.0 is going to have a better set of tools for video streaming so do not be surprised if it takes months for us to release an Android App and don't be surprised if it is only available for Android 3.0+.

How about a timeline to when the mobile site will have flash videos that are "optimized for mobile."

Bitbop is a fully featured video streaming service with an application. It works extremely well and offers a lot of full content. I dont agree that android isnt ready. Hulu and netflix both are actively developing applications for android. CR should too, rather than a "wait and see" approach.

I finally opened my final 2005FPW exchange and it seems to be on par with my original one in terms of the backlight issue. Found a bad pixel though.
But now I am noticing my original seems to have some burn-in's already when I switch to black using DPB or Logon screen saver. In particular, I have a few icons on the desktop and they seem to be "showing through" on the top left corner. I have switched to try VGA and DVI on both monitors. The new one doesn't have it, so can burns be possible even on an LCD?
Please tell me I'm not crazy.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has discovered vulnerabilities in the government's system for preventing market-moving economic reports from leaking to traders before public release.
Law-enforcement officials found "a number of operational vulnerabilities" involving "black boxes" used by several departments to control the release of sensitive economic data such as the monthly unemployment rate, according to a report by the inspector general at the Commerce Department.
The report said it was possible to subvert the system, which was designed to prevent media companies from sending economic data to traders early.
The report, which was reviewed by The Wall Street Journal, is part of a broad law-enforcement inquiry into whether media firms or any of their employees are sending government data to traders before the agreed-upon embargoes expire, which could violate insider-trading laws.
The FBI has long been concerned about what investigators view as suspicious trading activity that occurs just before some government releases of sensitive economic data, according to people familiar with the investigation. Federal agents have spent years trying to determine if that activity is due to misconduct during the formal release period, which is known as a lockup.
The black boxes are key to the government's control of the data. Media firms in the business of reporting economic data are required to connect their computers to the black boxes, which operate like a trapdoor, releasing articles and data streams when the embargoes lift. In theory, all the data should be released at the same time.
The investigative report, which was completed in May and obtained through an open-records request, indicates that the FBI's concerns are based on testing of black boxes at its Quantico, Va. facilities. The report didn't say whether the FBI knows of any specific instance in which anyone knowingly exploited the weaknesses. Many of the technical flaws involve different ways in which the black boxes can be bypassed.
The report focused primarily on a short-lived probe of Bloomberg L.P., which was exonerated of any wrongdoing. The Bloomberg issue began in May 2012 when the media firm installed new devices in the Commerce Department to speed up delivery of data to subscribers, according to the Commerce report.
In its own testing, Bloomberg found it could get around the black box in several ways, such as sending data using different electrical current.
Bloomberg reported the flaws to the Commerce Department last summer and didn't use the devices in any data releases, Bloomberg told investigators, according to the report. After Bloomberg alerted the department, the FBI conducted a "consensual seizure" of its computers for testing.
The inspector general at the Commerce Department found "no evidence of an intentional violation" of the law by Bloomberg or its reporters, according to the report. In October, the FBI informed the Justice Department it found "no evidence of any embargo violation(s)" and the case was closed.
Ty Trippet, a spokesman for Bloomberg, said the conclusion "validates what we've said all along: We discovered a technical flaw in the Commerce Department's lock-up security protocols during a testing period sponsored by the department."
Dow Jones, the publisher of the Journal, is one of several media firms that feed the government's economic data to trading clients. In a statement, the company said it "always endeavors to follow all lockup procedures and rules, and would never sanction-and is not aware of-any intentional violations."
The FBI's testing led it to discover other methods to get around the black boxes in ways that could "adversely impact the timed release of sensitive economic data," according to the report.
For one, media firms, if unobserved, could simply turn off the power on the black boxes, the FBI cautioned. Data also could be surreptitiously routed around the black boxes using concealed wireless devices or even a phone line or cable.
Such "concealed IT devices may still be in use" in lockup rooms across the government, according to a summary of the investigative report.
The fact that these devices could be "concealed to intentionally disguise their presence...should be made known to the proper personnel," the FBI said, according to the report.
In November, law-enforcement officials relayed the concerns to officials at the Departments of Commerce, Agriculture and Labor, as well as the Federal Reserve Board and the Office of Management and Budget. Officials at those departments either didn't respond to requests for comment or declined to comment.

1 tsp kosher salt
1 1⁄2 cups medium-grind stone-ground cornmeal (most brands found in the supermarket will work well)
1 tbsp olive oil
1⁄2 cup freshly grated Grana Padano or Parmesan cheese
Mushroom Filling:
1⁄4 cup olive oil, plus extra for the baking dish
2 lbs fresh shiitake and oyster mushrooms, tough stems removed, thinly sliced
5 or 6 fresh sage leaves, roughly chopped
2 tbsp chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 1⁄2 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 cups half-and-half, or 1 cup 2% or whole milk and 1 cup heavy cream
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1⁄2 cups shredded Fontina cheese
Bring 4 cups water to a boil in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan. Add the kosher salt, reduce the heat to a simmer, and gradually whisk in the cornmeal, a small amount at a time. Reduce the heat to low and cook the polenta, stirring often, until tender, about 20 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the olive oil and Grana Padano. Pour the polenta into a shallow 9 x 17-inch baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula. Set aside until thoroughly cool.
Preheat the oven to 350F.
Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, sage, and parsley, and cook, tossing or stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have released all of their liquid and are beginning to turn golden, about 12 minutes. Add the flour, stirring until it is no longer visible. Add the half-and-half and cook until the sauce is thick, 4 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and set aside.
Cut the cooled polenta into quarters. Then trim the quarters slightly so they will fit in a 13 x 9 x 2-inch (3-quart) baking dish. Grease the bottom and sides of the baking dish with olive oil, and place 2 slices of polenta on the bottom. Spoon half of the mushroom mixture over the polenta, and top it with half of the shredded Fontina.
Place the other two pieces of polenta over the cheese and top with the remaining mushrooms. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake until heated through, 20 to 25 minutes.
Increase the oven temperature to 400F. Remove the foil and top the "lasagna" with the remaining Fontina. Cook until the cheese is bubbly and golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve piping hot.

LONDON (AP) — A Pakistani girl whose defiance of the Taliban turned her into an international icon is headed toward recovery once she undergoes a final surgery to reconstruct her skull, doctors said Wednesday.
Dr. Dave Rosser of Birmingham's Queen Elizabeth Hospital said that 15-year-old Malala Yousufzai needs the operation to replace the bone shattered when a Taliban gunman, angered at her objection to the group's restrictions on girls' education, sent a bullet through her skull. Rosser said that Malala had made a "remarkable recovery."
"She's very lively, she's got a great sense of humor," Rosser told journalists at the hospital. "She's not naive at all about what happened to her and the situation she's looking forward to in terms of being a high-profile person, and potentially a high-profile target. She's not naive to any of that, but she remains incredibly determined, incredibly cheerful and incredibly determined to speak for her cause."
That cause has turned Malala into a symbol for a girl's right to an education.
At the age of 11, she began writing a blog under a pseudonym for the BBC about life under the Taliban in Pakistan's picturesque Swat Valley, which Taliban militants briefly overran. After the military ousted them in 2009, she began publicly speaking out about the need for girls' education. She appeared frequently in the media and was given one of the country's highest civilian honors for her bravery.
Malala was shot on Oct. 9 as she headed home from school. The Taliban said they targeted her because she promoted "Western thinking," but the attempt to murder a teenage girl over her desire to go to school sent a wave of revulsion around the world. Amid a blaze of publicity over her plight, Malala was flown to England for advanced medical care — and for her own protection.
There was no indication Wednesday of whether or when she would return to Pakistan, although Rosser said it would likely be a year or 18 months before she has finished recuperating.
"Anybody who's required a lengthy intensive care stay or undergone significant neurological injuries, studies tell us people don't report feeling as well as they used to for 15 to 18 months," he said.
Rosser went on to give a detailed briefing of what Malala could expect from the surgery, planned for some time within the next two weeks. He said doctors also have to remove a piece of Malala's skull that they had surgically inserted into her abdomen — a common procedure intended to keep the skull fragment from getting infected. Eventually, however, surgeons opted for a titanium plate to cover the hole.
A cochlear implant is also being implanted and will be turned on in about a month's time. Rosser said it should eventually restore her full hearing.
Asked whether Malala showed any signs of brain damage — such as memory loss or hormonal changes — Rosser said doctors had seen none.
Barring any complications, he said the skull reconstruction should be Malala's final surgery.
"She's certainly pleased with the thought that this will be the end of it," Rosser said.

To wrap up October as Pro Bono Month, Pamela Williams Kelly of the Law Offices of Pamela Kelly was presented with the Celebrate Pro Bono Award from the Memphis Bar Association Access to Justice Committee and the Memphis Area Legal Services Pro Bono Project.
Kelly received the award for working on extended cases on behalf of indigent clients through the clinics offered by MALS.
"They said I had accepted the greatest number of cases, that's either by volunteering my time for those clinics and just answering questions from people," she said, adding, "I was just doing my part. … I was so surprised and so grateful."
Kelly grew up about two hours from Memphis in North Carrollton, Miss., going to nearby Mississippi State University for a bachelor's degree in communications with an emphasis in public relations. While what to do after college wasn't necessarily in the forefront of her mind, doing something creative was in the back.
She eventually found her calling in radio and wound up in Memphis working on promotions for FM-101 Jams. When the station was purchased by Clear Channel Communications, she took another path that would lead her to the University of Memphis Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law. It was a challenge undertaken as a divorced mother of four children, all under the age of 7.
"I was just really wiped out," she said of the period following graduation in 1999. "When I was interviewing for jobs at that time, it was very much about billable hours, and I knew that I could not take care of my family and work a firm job."
Instead, she delved into another passion – teaching. She taught physics and American government at Westwood High School. It was an experience, she says, that was "one of the best lessons I ever received. Those children are honest. If you're slacking off as a teacher, they'll tell you. It was a real awakening to me about what the educational system can feel like for teachers. … It's a real struggle sometimes."
She would go on to teach online legal classes for Strayer University and Axia College at the University of Phoenix, as well as onsite at Remington College.
Once her children were old enough, she took the bar exam and went to work for the city of Memphis as a music commission specialist until this July, when she opened her own practice with a focus on entertainment law, having established relationships with musicians, authors and screenwriters.
"When I was working in radio, I met a lot of celebrities," she said. "It was fun, and Memphis is really a hotbed of talent. And then we're so close to Nashville, so that was attractive to me as well."
Bringing that spark of creativity to the forefront of her mind, she's found a way to merge her passion for the business side of entertainment with the areas of family law and immigration law, which are among her other specialties.
"I always want to be moving where the business is moving, so I found a way to combine all three of the things that I was interested in. It may sound really crazy, but I tell people I just did an 0-1 visa (nonimmigrant visa for those excelling in the arts or other achievements) for a client in Nashville. She's in country music and from Canada."
When asked why working pro bono is so important to her, Kelly recalls her mother being fired from a factory job for reporting an OSHA violation, and her sister being wrongly accused and fired for stealing from a long-held fast food job.
"Those kind of things spurred my sense of right and wrong. Neither one could afford an attorney," she said, adding, "Those few hours, they don't make me or break me. …We should help if we can. Some people really cannot afford services, but they need the assistance."
In addition to her work with MALS, Kelly also works with the Community Legal Center, Online Tennessee Justice and the Nashville-based Volunteer Lawyers for Professionals and the Arts. As an accredited attorney for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, she provides pro bono representation for veterans.
Taking to heart her own mentoring she's received, she hopes to pass it along through her volunteer work as a Youth Court mentor for the Juvenile Court of Memphis and Shelby County.

Project Description
The project made accurate predictions for the trapping of injected mixed supercritical (sc)CO2, in the deep saline aquifer of the Rock Springs Uplift (RSU) in Southwest Wyoming. Such predictions were based on new, state-of-the-art experimental measurements of relevant flow functions that were used in a recently developed, high-performance, high-resolution simulation tool. Results of state-of-the-art laboratory experiments using core samples from the RSU were used in a physically-based dynamic core-scale pore network model that led to improved understanding of mixed scCO2 trapping mechanisms, This, in turn, allowed the identification of pore-level flow conditions under which permanent capillary trapping can be maximized, which were subsequently communicated to a high performance simulation tool. This tool allowed for geomechanical deformation of the surrounding formations, equilibrium calculations for mixed scCO2, water, and salt, and was used for uncertainty quantification using geological models.
Project Benefits
This project focused on improving the understanding of mixed supercritical CO2 storage in the Rock Springs Uplift. Better understanding of CO2 interactions with rock/brine and migration reduces uncertainty in predicting storage capacity and repository suitability. Specifically, this project determined the technical and economic feasibility of CO2 storage in the target formation by developing a regional dynamic model.

Vanek, Sabres blast BruinsBy The Sports Xchange
January 31. 2013 11:19PM
BOSTON - Tomas Vanek put on a dazzling one-man show, allowing the Buffalo Sabres to rally from deficits of 3-1 and 4-3 to end their four-game losing streak with a 7-4 victory over the Boston Bruins Thursday night.
Vanek delivered a hat trick and two assists and linemates Jason Pominville and Cody Hodgson totaled six points between them as the Sabres, 0-3-1 in their last four games, handed the Bruins their first regulation loss of the lockout-delayed season. Boston, dropping to 5-1-1, also suffered its first home loss in five games.
Vanek, who has 54 points in 46 career games against Boston, set up Hodgson for the go-ahead goal at 6:54 of the third period and then closed out his eighth career hat trick late the scoring late before Pominville hit the empty net.
Tyler Ennis and Alexander Sulzer also beat a virtually unaided Tuukka Rask for the Sabres, who got big saves from Ryan Miller all night.
Brad Marchand scored twice for the Bruins, who also got goals from Rich Peverley and David Krejci.
The Bruins lost three forwards during the game. Patrice Bergeron, who had two assists, left early in the third period with an apparent right shoulder injury, but returned. Shawn Thornton was lost in an early fight; and Daniel Paille was cut by a Tyler Myers high stick in the third period.
Thornton, answering the call to battle the much-larger John Scott after the Sabres made it clear they had added more muscle during the offseason, was pummeled to the ice by Scott as the pair lined up for their first faceoff, 2:50 into the game.
Both went to the penalty box but when Thornton came out he went right to the dressing room and didn't return. He never got a punch off in the fight.
After Vanek gave the Sabres a 1-0 lead the Bruins scored three goals in a 5:42 span to take a 3-1 lead.
Peverley tied the game with a goal that required patience. He had all kinds of time in front of the net but waited for an opening through the bodies and beat Miller at 5:12. Marchand then scored on a solo effort at 7:43 before taking a pass from Bergeron and getting another one through Miller, this one at 10:54.
Milan Lucic and Chara then took penalties on the same play to leave the Bruins two men down for two minutes. Vanek tipped home a Christian Ehrhoff shot a minute into the power play. The play was reviewed but Vanek clearly tipped the puck with his stick and then between his own legs.
A great shift by the Sabres ended with Vanek making an acrobatic pass to Ennis for his second goal of the year just 1:33 later.
The teams traded early third-period goals 43 seconds apart. Krejci scored at 1:45, but Sulzer then tied it right back up at 4-4.
Vanek then went around Johnny Boychuk and set up Hodgson at 6:54.

Franz LisztHungarian
Franz Liszt was the son of a talented amateur musician who was a steward in the service of the Esterhàzy family. He was a child prodigy at the piano and, by the time he was eleven, had performed in many parts of Europe and was well-established as a concert pianist.
In 1821 he left Hungary and moved to Vienna where he studied piano with Carl Czerny and composition with Antonio Salieri. Two years later he went with his family to Paris where he was recognised as a brilliant performer and quickly became a favourite of the wealthy French families. In 1830 he met Chopin, Berlioz and the violin virtuoso, Paganini. Paganini's virtuosity inspired Liszt to explore the expressive possibilities of the piano, transferring the violinist's technical wizardry to his own instrument.
As a young man in Paris, Liszt was as famed for his affairs of the heart as for his piano technique. In 1835 he eloped with his mistress, the Countess Marie d'Agoult (who was already married), to Switzerland and they spent the next few years in the Alps and in Italy. They had three children.
Between 1839 and 1847, Liszt took on the role of a traveling virtuoso, playing all over Europe to wide acclaim. It is said that he invented the concept of a modern piano recital. He separated from his mistress in 1844, and in 1848 took up a full-time conducting post as Kapellmeister at the Weimar court, where he lived with Princess Carolyne Sayn-Wittgenstein. He abandoned his performing career and devoted his attention mainly to composition, although he conducted and taught, among others, Hans von Bülow. Here he wrote some of the most difficult piano music ever written, such as the Transcendental Studies. He expanded some of the ideas of musical form, increasing the length and scope of traditional ideas such as Sonata Form, and turning multi-movement pieces into single works.
It is in his piano compositions, though, that Liszt's virtuosity as a performer shows through. His imaginative use of unusual combinations of chords, scales and intervals is punctuated by a very advanced use of chromaticism. He also had the ability to express a very wide variety of moods and ideas in his music, which makes it so rewarding to listen to. Unfortunately for Liszt, public denouncements on his relationship with the Princess forced him to move to Rome in 1860, where he stayed until 1869. Here, he found expression for his long-held spiritual leanings and he composed many religious works. In 1865 he joined the Franciscans and was given the title of Abbé. From 1870 onwards, he traveled regularly between Rome, Weimar, where he had many pupils, and Budapest, where he was regarded as a national hero.

NEW YORK — J.R. Ewing wouldn't hesitate to cheat his fellow man. He also famously cheated death.
In the second-season finale of "Dallas" back in 1980, he was shot by an unknown assailant in his office and left for dead. But he recovered nicely, and the cliffhanger question that gripped the nation (Who shot J.R.?) was answered that November in an episode seen by 80 million viewers.
This time, J.R. won't get off so easy. The second season of TNT's rebooted "Dallas" poses an even more dramatic question: Who killed J.R.?
Meanwhile, viewers will have to reckon with the loss of arguably TV's greatest villain, and bid farewell to the actor who portrayed him so indelibly and also cheated death for years. Larry Hagman, who died of cancer at 81 the day after Thanksgiving, was diagnosed in 1992 with cirrhosis of the liver from a life of heavy drinking and, three years later, when a malignant tumor was discovered on his liver, successfully underwent a transplant.
This double loss would be a burden for any show to bear. "Dallas," returning at 9 p.m. Monday, comes fully loaded.
"I think viewers want closure," said Linda Gray, who plays J.R.'s long-suffering ex-wife, Sue Ellen. "They want to mourn Larry Hagman and J.R. Ewing. They want to know they can grieve the fact he won't be around."
But all that comes later. With its two-hour season premiere, "Dallas" carries on in familiar fashion, with the expected two-timing, squabbles, a kidnapping revealed, a stolen identity and assorted other mischief.
And never fear: J.R., though visibly frail, continues his reign as a scheming oilman and rascally Ewing patriarch.
"I came over to deliver some muffins to the pretty little secretaries," he announces on making an unannounced visit to Ewing Energies headquarters before he laments, "Who could have guessed so many would turn out to be MEN? Where's the sport in THAT?"
In another scene, J.R. shares sly counsel with his son, John Ross, on double-crossing other members of the family: "Love, hate, jealousy: Mix 'em up and they make a mean martini. And when we take over Ewing Energies, you'll slake your thirst — with a twist!"
The new "Dallas," which debuted last June, is stocked with a troupe of young regulars (including Josh Henderson, who plays John Ross), as well as veterans of the original CBS series, notably Gray and Patrick Duffy as J.R.'s ever-upright brother, Bobby. J.R. will appear in a minimum of five or as many as seven of the season's episodes. (It remains to be seen how footage of Hagman might be adapted to depict J.R.'s murder.)
After that, can "Dallas" survive the dual deaths of its central character and legendary star?
"Larry being gone doesn't eliminate the influence of the character of J.R.," Duffy pointed out. Who knows what land mines J.R. will have left behind?
"We can find business deals he did or schemes he started that now are coming home to roost, and they can turn up for years to come."
"Whatever will happen on the show, we will be talking about J.R. Ewing and he will have done things that have a ripple effect," Gray agreed. "He will always be there."
"There's a lot of driving forces on the show — not just J.R.," added "Dallas" executive producer Cynthia Cidre, who, interviewed by phone a couple of weeks ago, was parked outside a posh Dallas social club where the wake for J.R. was about to be filmed.
She said this season she tried to use Hagman sparingly.
"He was the most delightful man and a total professional," she said, "but he wasn't well and we didn't want to overtax him."
Now, with his passing, "we want to give J.R., and Larry, the proper send-off."
But she insisted there had been no contingency plan for how to plot J.R.'s demise in the event Hagman died in mid-season.
"We didn't have a Plan B, on purpose," said Cidre. "We just knew that we had Larry, so let's use him, let's enjoy him, and if something happens, we'll scramble and fix it. I had great faith in the writers' room. We knew the day might come and what we would do then: Figure it out."
That day came in late November when she got a call from Duffy. "He told me, 'Larry's in the hospital and it isn't good. He's saying goodbye.' In 24 hours we had fixed one of the scripts. We had two more scripts that had to be adjusted, and then this episode we're shooting now, the Goodbye Episode."
Roughly 85 percent of the season's story line remains intact, she said, supplemented by the death of J.R. and the "Who Killed J.R.?" mystery surrounding it.
"The mystery has all the machinations of a great J.R. business deal, as opposed to a whodunit," said Duffy. "Cynthia constructed a really interesting plot, of which I know Bobby's portion" — including whodunit — "but I don't know other stuff."
"We all know, up to a point," Gray said. "But they've got secret pages that we've not seen."
"I hope that we have come up with something really wonderful and enticing," said Cidre, "and by the time you're done watching episode 208, which I call the Funeral Episode, I hope you're saying, 'Omigod, I didn't see that coming, and I can't wait to watch the rest of the season.' "
The mystery, she said, will continue through episode 15, "with a giant, delightful, delicious climax in the season finale."
To get there, shooting continues until April on the Dallas set, where, even two months after Hagman's passing, "I'm lonely because my best friend isn't there to play with," Duffy said. "I was with him from 1978 until his final hours in the hospital. But I have no regrets. Every day I think of him and smile."
"I keep expecting him to walk in the door," Gray said. "He's so missed. But his presence is everywhere!"

While much of the world has been horrified by Syrian President Basharcq al-Asad's actions against the opposition that wants him to step down, the fighting that has gone on in Syria since March 2011 raises more personal concerns for local residents with ties to that country. A small number of them held a candlelight vigil in Lincoln Square this evening to raise awareness of what is happening in the country.
Hanan Bahnassi of Shrewsbury, who was born in Syria, said that most families she knows have lost a son or other family member. One family in Homs lost 11 people, including a father, a son and a newborn, she said. "I have to be hopeful," she said. "We're doing lots of praying. … There is no need for there to be so much suffering for someone to stay in power."
Her 87-year-old father is still in Syria.
She believes the country's citizens will eventually force Mr. al-Asad to leave — "The price is way too high not to succeed" — but she knows democracy probably will not follow immediately after. "I think first of all, before I see the glory of where we're going, I want to see them stop the torture, stop the killing. Let the people live," she said.
Twelve-year-old Abdullah Tanteh of Worcester came to the vigil with other members of his family. "I came to help for people that don't have a home, that are getting killed," he said. Members of his extended family are still in Syria.
Nourcq Agha, a college student in Worcester whose family is Syrian, said some of her family has escaped to Lebanon, while others are still struggling to get out. "Hopefully there will be freedom in Syria," she said. She first thought it could happen after the regime changes in Libya and Egypt.
Mafazcq Ellis of Worcester, who was born in Syria, organized the vigil. While she conceived of the idea during warmer weather, the group carried it out on a 14-degree evening.
At least 60,000 people, mostly civilians, have been killed in Syria since the uprising began, according to the United Nations News Center. The conflict has also left more than 2.5 million people in need of humanitarian assistance.

As tensions over North Korea's nuclear program continue to escalate and China faces new pressure regarding its relations with the "Hermit Kingdom," everyday life along the Yalu River separating the two countries goes on as before. Here's a look at scenes from one part of the China--North Korea border as chronicled by Reuters photographer Damir Sagolj. Pictured, a North Korean soldier sits on the banks of the Yalu.
July, the Senate rejected the bonus 62 to 18. Most of the protesters went home, aided by
Hoover's offer of free passage on the rails. Ten thousand remained behind, among them a
hard core of Communists and other organizers. On the morning of July 28, forty protesters
tried to reclaim an evacuated building in downtown Washington scheduled for demolition.
The city's police chief, Pellham Glassford, sympathetic to the marchers, was knocked down
by a brick. Glassford's assistant suffered a fractured skull. When rushed by a crowd, two
other policemen opened fire. Two of the marchers were killed.

The photograph that has become known as "Migrant Mother" is one of a series of photographs that Dorothea Lange made in February or March of 1936 in Nipomo, California. Lange was concluding a month's trip photographing migratory farm labor around the state for what was then the Resettlement Administration. In 1960, Lange gave this account of the experience: I saw and approached the hungry and desperate mother, as if drawn by a magnet. I do not remember how I explained my presence or my camera to her, but I do remember she asked me no questions. I made five exposures, working closer and closer from the same direction. I did not ask her name or her history. She told me her age, that she was thirty-two. She said that they had been living on frozen vegetables from the surrounding fields, and birds that the children killed. She had just sold the tires from her car to buy food. There she sat in that lean- to tent with her children huddled around her, and seemed to know that my pictures might help her, and so she helped me. There was a sort of equality about it. (From: Popular Photography , Feb. 1960).

Teaching Teens to Cope with Diabetes
Friday, October 29, 2010
"We need more complex and creative approaches in diabetes education for teenagers, and we're all still trying to figure out the best way to do this," said Margaret Grey, Dean of the Yale School of Nursing, speaking at Joslin this week. Presenting the fourth annual Joslin Harriet Mackay Forum, Grey highlighted her research in educating youth with type 1 diabetes—particularly in boosting their life skills in coping with the condition that requires around-the-clock management.
Her work has shown that hosting discussion groups for teenagers that aid their coping skills can improve both their quality of life and their diabetes control, Grey said. But she noted that today's teens often are too busy to come into the clinic for a group.
So Grey and her colleagues set up and are in the process of evaluating an Internet coping skills training program for adolescents—the "TeenCope" program, which looks like a graphic novel and features animations and interactive training sessions. TeenCope has done well in engaging groups of teens and given good early indications of helping them handle their diabetes, she said.
Such programs need to reflect the particular needs of adolescents. "One of the things that makes working with teenagers interesting is that they often have such black and white views of the world," Grey commented.
Teens struggle, for instance, about what to say to their peers about their diabetes—needing to find a good middle ground between saying nothing to their friends and deluging them with information. Another issue is that teens "may not be good at asserting what they want but be really good at whining," as Grey put it. And when imagining how a given event may play out, teens may lock into a scenario of failure rather than visualizing successful outcomes.
"Teens may view their diabetes as a way to assert their independence, not always in the best ways for diabetes control," Grey added. "But if you give them coping skills, they are able to better negotiate what they need from their parents."
The Harriet McKay Forum, which honors a pioneering nurse educator at Joslin, is sponsored by Joslin's Center for Innovation in Diabetes Education.

How do you know beyond a doubt when your local NBA team is in deep, deep trouble?
Well, the tell-tale sign came Wednesday night when the Orlando Magic lost a game to a team that isn't even trying to win.
Tanking Sixers 96, Slumping Magic 87
It's no wonder Philadelphia 76ers coach Brett Brown was so upbeat when I spoke to him before tipoff.
"I think our dark days are behind us," a confident Brown said. "All over the I place, I see bright lights."
Wait a minute, weren't the sad-sack Sixers supposed to be the miracle cure for the ailing Magic? Instead, the sinking Magic have managed to brighten the future of the NBA's worst team and most...

This Blog Has Moved!!!
After two very successful years at Blogger, Thrashers Talons has moved to a new location at Sports Blog Nation (aka SB Nation). As part of the move I am unveiling a new blog name as well. Henceforth it will be know as "Bird Watcher's Anonymous" which will continue the Brown Thrasher/Falconer theme begun here.
The content at the new site will be very similar to what I have created here at blogger, but the new setting will enable me to insert tables and other items with greater ease. In addition, my Thrashers blog will be nestled among other blogs covering every pro sports team. SB Nation is in the process of building their stable of NHL bloggers and I'm honored that they invited me to write about our local team.
Before departing I must thank all of the many readers who have visited this site over the last two years. I started writing this because I was frustrated by the lack of reading material about the Atlanta Thrashers. The old adage is "write the book you'd like to read" and that is what I have tried to do here.
To be honest I wasn't sure what to expect in terms of readership. In 2006 I had just over 6,000 readers (over 5,000 unique). The following year readership exploded upward to 41,000 hits (32,000 unique) and then it doubled once again in 2008 to 81,000 hits (64,000 unique). It was rather amazing to see Thrashers Talons break the 100,000 hit mark recently.
There have been numerous occasions when I have been very depressed about the state of the Atlanta Thrashers and felt little inspiration to post. But I knew that each day readers would be clicking over to this page to read something and that kept me posting on the really rough times. So thanks for coming back and please make head over to SB Nation to check out the new digs! :)
