Chickpea Carrot Patties
Makes 20 falafel
These are a quick version of the Middle Eastern favourite - falafel. To cook chickpeas from scratch, soak 500g of dried chickpeas in cold water overnight. Drain and rinse well. Pour into a large pot and cover with plenty of water. Bring to the boil, then simmer rapidly until tender with no crunchy bits, but still firm. This will take between 45 minutes and an hour, depending how long they have soaked. Drain and rinse well.
450g of cooked chickpeas, or 2 x 400g tins drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons light olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped or grated
1 carrot, grated
1 teaspoon dried coriander
1 teaspoon dried cumin
1 tablespoon of flour to bind and a little extra for dusting
2 tablespoons of chopped fresh coriander
To serve:
6 small wholewheat pita pockets
1 baby gem lettuce or 1/4 iceberg lettuce, shredded
1 large carrot, grated
Greek yoghurt, hummus, courgette jam or low fat mayonnaise (optional)
1) Gently heat the olive oil in a frying pan and sauté the onion and carrot until soft. Stir through the ground cumin and coriander and flour.
2) Mix with the chickpeas and mash with a potato masher to a rough paste, it doesn't have to be very smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Stir through the fresh coriander.
4) Shape the chickpea mixture into small balls and flatten slightly. Dust with a little flour.
5) Heat a little olive oil in a frying pan and fry the chickpea patties until golden and crispy. Drain on kitchen paper.
6) Stuff the falafel into pita pockets with plenty of grated carrot and lettuce. You can add a dollop of Greek yoghurt, hummus, courgette jam or mayonnaise if desired.
Barley Butternut Salad in a Jar
Makes 2 jars
Use this recipe as a guide on how to make a 'solid salad'. Using wholesome grains, chickpeas, beans and lentils as a base. You can layer these up with any multitude of fresh veggies, nuts, seeds, cheese and cold meat. I know serving drinks and salads in jars has become a real hipster trend, but it works! By having the dressing in the bottom, you keep any soft leaves from wilting.
2 glass or perspex jars
1 cup cooked pearl barley
2 cups baby spinach leaves
2 cups roasted butternut squash pieces
2 tablespoons pecan nuts, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons dried cranberries
2 tablespoons salad dressing or lemon juice
1) Peel and dice a small butternut squash. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Spread out on a baking tray and roast for 20 minutes at 200C until soft and brown on the edges.
2) Simmer 1 cup of barley in plenty of water for an hour to an hour and a half until cooked through but still firm. Drain well.
3) Pour the salad dressing or lemon juice into the bottom of the jar. Begin with a layer of barley and alternate with layers of roasted butternut squash, spinach leaves, pecan nuts and dried cranberries until the jar is full.
4) Just before serving, give the jar a good shake to disperse the dressing or lemon juice.
Pesto Pasta Salad
Serves 4
I THOUGHT there was no such thing as a nice pasta salad - until I discovered the two keys secrets: use wholewheat pasta and allow it to cool before adding the dressing.
This way you get a lovely firm texture with dressing that clings to the pasta and doesn't soak in.
300g of wholewheat of spelt pasta shapes such as fusilli, farfalle or penne
1 tablespoon pine nuts, lightly toasted
4 tablespoons basil pesto
150g cherry tomatoes, halved
3 spring onions, finely sliced
200g feta cheese, diced
1) Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions until al dente. Drain in a colander. Drizzle over a little olive oil and shake the colander. This will prevent the pasta from sticking together.
2) Allow the pasta to cool before mixing through the pesto. Warm pasta will soak up the peso and you'll have no dressing.
3) Lightly toast the pine nuts in a frying pan until just golden.
4) Mix well with the cherry tomatoes, spring onions, feta and pine nuts.
Sticky Chicken Quinoa Salad
Serves 4
Quinoa is a gluten free seed from South America that is protein rich. You can substitute couscous or bulgur wheat in this recipe.
1 cup of quinoa
2 cups of low salt chicken stock
2 chicken breasts, cut into 4 pieces
1 teaspoon Chinese 5 Spice
1 tablespoon plum sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
100g sugar snap peas
3 spring onions, finely sliced
1 lemon
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper
1) Combine the quinoa and stock in a pot, bring to the boil then reduce to a simmer for 15 minutes. The quinoa should be fluffy and all the liquid gone. Fluff up with a fork and allow to cool.
2) Coat the chicken pieces with the Chinese 5 spice, plum and soy sauces. Spread on a lined baking tray and place under the oven grill for three minutes a side until cooked through.
4) Chop the chicken into smaller pieces and mix with the quinoa. Squeeze over the juice of the lemon and pour over the olive oil. This will help keep the chicken juicy.
5) Lightly steam the sugar snap peas for a minute or blanch in boiling water. Refresh in iced water to keep the bright colour.
6) Mix the sugar snap peas and spring onions with the chicken and quinoa. Season with salt and pepper and a little lemon zest.
Wholewheat Noodle and Crunchy Veg Salad
Serves 4
Kids love pasta and noodles and they work very well hot or cold. Wholewheat noodles are far more nutritious than white. You can use any combination of veggies.
4 'nests' of wholewheat noodles
1 cup small broccoli florets
1 red pepper, finely sliced
1 yellow pepper, finely sliced
1 red onion, finely sliced
100ml water
75g sugar snap peas
75g baby corn, halved
125ml sweet chilli sauce
2 cloves garlic, crushed
Juice of 1 lime
2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
Finely chopped spring onions
Fresh coriander
Roasted peanuts
Leftover cooked chicken
1) Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Add the dried wholewheat noodles and stir to prevent them from sticking together. Cook according to the packet instructions then drain well in a colander. Drizzle over oil to prevent them from sticking together.
2) Mix together all the sauce ingredients and set aside.
3) Heat one tablespoon of sunflower oil in a wok or large pan. Add in the broccoli, peppers and onion. Pour in the water to create steam and stir-fry for three minutes to soften the vegetables. Add in the sugar snap peas and baby corn, cook for two minutes.
4) Add the cooked, drained noodles and the sauce to the wok. Cook for two minutes.
5) Mix through any optional extras and serve hot or cold.

Also, mom told me to print off brother and niece's proof of application- MY BROTHER'S IS NOT FOUND!!!!! His 6 week old daughter's is, but his isn't!!!! Mom's calling on that right now.
And, my groomsmen's pants- UGH!!!! I got all the guys' sizes and bought them so they'd be the same as Kevin's and our dads'. My brother and 1 groomsman have weird measurements I guess, so I get pants that are too short (32 instead of 34), and ask if they can wear them low cuz white linen shirts will be untucked and cover waistline). THEIR WASTE SIZES DIDN'T FIT!!!! So, just passed brother's onto groomsman, then had to go buy yet another pair of these darn pants for brother!!!
Please tell me things will be great when I get there!!!!
Thanks for listening!!!

By the time I was in Cancun, I didn't let anything bother me. During the ceremony, it drizzle on and off which made taking pictures difficult but I just let everything go and center my attention to my husband and how great it is after more than 11 years together, I love him more now than when we first started.

I had a few stressors myself. My dress didn't come in until 6 days before I left for Mexico - talk about speedy alterations! FI's shirt didn't arrive until 2 days before we left. Our best man, another gm, and a bm all bailed within days of the wedding. That bm's 2 kids were in the wedding and also bailed. These people's names were already printed on my programs too. But you know I couldn't care less who showed or what anyone was wearing because I knew FI would be there with me and that made the stress melt away. If I wasn't focused on the joy of marrying my best friend I would have cursed at least 6 people out...LOL
Know that it will all be okay and try to find time on your day to enjoy your day because it's over in the blink of an eye!

Jamy~ I can't believe all of those people bailed at the last minute! Kevin's brother told him yesterday that he's not going- My future in-laws are not happy with their son at all right now! He's known all this time and said he was going, but all of a sudden he's moving and getting a new job next week (which is true, but could've been scheduled differently!)! Good thing my brother and step-brother are in the wedding- Kevin is closer to them anyway, but he's still hurt.
Thanks for all the good thoughts!

Emergency medicine researchers at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario and the Ontario Neurotrauma Foundation have launched recommendations aimed at treating children and teens with concussions.
Project leader Dr. Roger Zemek, director of pediatric emergency research at CHEO, said there was a need for recommendations specifically covering children five to 18 years old, since existing guidelines focus on adults and sport-related injuries.
"Children and adolescents are actually at a higher risk of developing concussions than adults, and we also know that children are at a higher risk of having prolonged symptoms," Zemek said Wednesday.
"There's been recommendations out there for adults, there's been recommendations specific to sports, but we know that children do not necessarily act like little adults at all times and we know that the developing brain is unique."
The first comprehensive set of pediatric concussion guidelines were written to inform health-care providers, parents, teachers and coaches, Zemek said.
He said the thrust of the guidelines cover:
- How to recognize a concussion.
- How to determine if a family doctor, emergency doctor or pediatric specialist is needed.
- Ultimately, how to treat a concussion with rest.
The project team spent more than two years reviewing some 4,000 academic papers in a range of pediatric health disciplines, including emergency medicine, family practitioners, neurologists and rehabilitation professionals, he said.

Product Administration Guide > Configuration Rule Template Reference >
Set Preference
The Set Preference template has the form:
When possible, constrain [an expression] to be true with a [specified priority]
The expression in a preference rule is enforced as a constraint only if it does not conflict with any other rule type or with any user selections. The purpose of the Set Preference template is to allow you to create soft constraints that guide the eConfigurator engine in producing solutions but which the engine can ignore if needed to avoid conflicts or performance problems.
A key use for preference rules is to cause a default selection of Item B based on the selection of Item A. This is called a dynamic default. You can set a default dynamically based on a previous user selection. The user can then override the default if desired by making choosing a different item than the dynamic default.
For example, you could write the following rule:
When possible, constrain [Item A requires Item B] to be true with a priority
When the user picks Item A, the engine will attempt to create a solution containing Item B. However, the engine is free not to include Item B in order to avoid conflicts and performance problems.
If the user does not want Item B, they can remove it without creating a conflict. If you had written the rule as "Item A requires Item B", Item B would be added when the user picks Item A. If the user tries to remove Item B, they would receive a conflict message.
Another use for the Set Preference Template is to set or modify the default value for an attribute. To do this, you would write a preference rule where the expression, is Attribute A = value. The attribute would then be displayed with this value unless overridden by another rule.
The priority operand in preference rules determines the order in which multiple preference rules for an item are evaluated. Preference rules with priority 0 that apply to a specific item are evaluated first. Those with priority 1 that apply to that item are evaluated next, and so on.
For example, you have written two preference rules that apply to a specific relationship. PrefRule A has a priority of 0. PrefRule B has a priority of 1. The eConfigurator engine will attempt to add PrefRule A to the solution before attempting to add PrefRule B.
Here is how the eConfigurator engine creates solutions containing preference rules:

On Sunday, November 9, an awards ceremony and donor recognition reception was held at the Main Library for the winners of our Making a Difference in Your Life Writing Competition. Over 160 entries were received from enthusiastic library users ranging from as young as 3 years of age to those who have been retired for many years. A first and second prize as well as honorable mentions were awarded in each of four age categories. The competition was co-sponsored by the Library Foundation and the Friends of the Public Library.
Many entries credited the library with nurturing a lifelong love of learning and the joy of reading. Others talked about the library as the great equalizer in society, providing the same access to information, the Internet, and services regardless of age, gender, economic affluence, or other differences. Some called the library a sanctuary, a place of healing, an escape, and a quiet spot where one could aspire to a better life. Everyone spoke of the library as integral to their lives and a transformational force that helps them thrive and succeed.
From these entries, 19 winners were selected by the panel of judges (Friends book sale volunteer Dr. Jay Ach, Friends Director Meghan Rafferty; and the Library's Development Director John Reusing). The judges were overwhelmed with the outpouring of love and enthusiasm for the Library and for the entrant's eloquent recognition of the vital role it served in their lives. You can watch a short video of highlights from the awards ceremony on YouTube.

Glucocorticoids beneficial before major abdominal surgery: meta-analysis
Last Updated: 2011-07-18 16:40:26 -0400 (Reuters Health)
By Megan Brooks
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Giving glucocorticoids before major abdominal surgery decreases complications and gets patients out of the hospital faster, say the authors of a new meta-analysis.
They attribute the effect to a dampening of the postoperative inflammatory response.
The "evidence remains a little thin in terms of overall patient numbers," the study's lead author, Dr. Sanket Srinivasa from Middlemore Hospital and the University of Auckland, New Zealand, told Reuters Health by email.
Even so, Dr. Srinivasa said, "the evidence that we now have gives us no reason to not use them to improve short term recovery and their clinical benefits seem real."
In a paper published online June 20th in the Annals of Surgery, the research team notes that randomized trials in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery have yielded mixed results regarding the short-term benefits -- and the safety -- of pre-op glucocorticoids.
In the new meta-analysis, pooled data from 11 randomized trials with 439 patients showed that glucocorticoid pretreatment significantly lowered the complication rate (odds ratio 0.37; P<0.01), with minimal heterogeneity in the results. Pretreatment also decreased infectious complications (OR = 0.35; P<0.01), with no heterogeneity in the results.
Hospital stay was shortened by 2 days, on average, with pretreatment (P = 0.01), albeit with high levels of heterogeneity. Treatment also reduced serum levels of the proinflammatory interleukin-6 (IL-6) on postoperative day 1 by a mean of 55 pg/mL (P<0.01), but again with high heterogeneity in studies.
In subset analyses, giving glucocorticoids before liver resection significantly decreased complications (OR = 0.28) and shortened mean length of stay by about 2 days. Pretreatment also tended to reduce complications in colorectal surgery (OR = 0.45) along with mean length of hospital stay by about 1 day.
Glucocorticoids did not appear to increase the risk of anastomotic leaks in colorectal surgery, the investigators report. However, due to the small number of patients, the influence of glucocorticoids on anastomotic leaks cannot be definitively stated, they say.
But since overall the meta-analysis showed positive effects, the research team believes pre-op glucocorticoids should be used routinely in "suitable patients" while longer-term studies are conducted.
But the authors of a commentary call for caution. Dr. Robert Udelsman and Maria Ciarleglio from Yale University School of Medicine in New Haven, Connecticut applaud the researchers' use of meta-analysis to evaluate the data.
However, they say, the results are constrained by the studies employed, the small total patient sample and the different types and doses of glucocorticoids used in the studies.
The results of this meta-analysis "do not seem to justify a major change in clinical care," the authors say.
Dr. Udelsman and Dr. Ciarleglio also remind readers that elevated glucocorticoids are associated with "significant detrimental effects including hyperglycemia, impaired wound healing and an increased propensity to infection."

The hundreds of Case knives now being offered by Case Authorized Dealers are grouped on the website according to type of manufacture: Standard products, promotional products, licensed products, and commemoratives and collectables. Users can also browse knives by the type of blade steel. Additionally, every knife on the Case site can now be viewed in larger sizes and at a higher resolution than was formerly offered. A new "Special Programs" section explains Case's special merchandising programs in detail: XX Vault, Rare Finds, XX Limited Edition, Pocket Worn®, XX Select, Case and Tony Bose collaborations, and Case's corporate gift programs in detail. Finally, Case collectors will find production checklists for specially-featured patterns.

Fred Feightner, Consumer Marketing and Communications Manager, credits Michael Granger, the company's Web Marketing Coordinator, with implementing the redesign's look and feel. "Mike's work in the redesign of W.R. Case's website not only gives our web visitors a richer experience, it sets a new standard for our industry and lays the foundation for future integration of newer applications and technologies."

Recently, RB Taiwan Jones visited the youth football players of the East Bay Warriors in Oakland, Calif. Jones spoke to the kids about the importance of school and respecting their coaches, parents, and teachers.
The East Bay Warriors Pop Warner Football program focuses on education. "Each person in our program is required to maintain a grade point average (GPA) of 2.0," states the East Bay Warriors website. "Progress reports are also done on a weekly/bi-weekly basis. If a child is having problems in certain areas in school, we screen other football players/cheerleaders and put them in, what we call, a "buddy system" to help them with their work. By having such a 'buddy system,' this enables everyone to get involved and help one another."
Jones, who grew up in the Bay Area, wanted to make sure the young football players understand the opportunity they had playing with the Warriors. "[My message to the kids was] respecting others as well as the adults and having fun out there," said Jones. "Most important, their academics because not everybody is going to get the opportunity to play in the NFL, but as long as you've got the academics to carry you in whatever field you want to work in, that's going to help and go a long way."
Morel Dright, head coach of the Pee Wee team, Wolfpack, appreciated Jones spending time with the kids and emphasizing the message the Warriors focus on. "We had special guest Taiwan Jones and some Oakland Raiders personnel come in to [practice] today and liven it up for the kids, give them some inspiration and give them something to look forward to."
Jones had two messages Dright hopes the kids remember. "The real important thing I heard him say was to stay in school, go to school," said Dright. "And the second one was to take care of your body and your health, eat right."
Because it was a professional football player relaying the message, Dright thinks it resonated with the young players. "His presence right there inspired the kids and the message he sent, staying in school," said Dright. "This is a scholarship program. You have to have good grades here to play this sport. If you don't have good grades period, you cannot play this sport. We are a scholarship program and the kids understood that so I'm quite sure they took that seriously."
After speaking to the kids, Jones walked around to each team as they practiced, even participating in a quarterback drill. "[Participating in a drill with the young quarterback], I think it's going to do a lot," said Jones. "It's going to give him a lot of bragging rights and automatically when they said, 'could I participate with the quarterback,' I saw how big he was smiling. I could just tell he was really happy."
The second-year running back enjoys giving back to the community. "Just seeing some of these kids' faces, just to see me come and talk to them, you could tell they were real appreciative of it," said Jones. "It just humbled me to be back out here. I enjoyed myself."
Jones was glad he could see the East Bay Warriors youth football program in action. "There's a lot of violence out there and a lot of kids, they get caught up in it, so just to be able to give back and see programs giving back and giving them an opportunity to do something positive, I'm happy to be a part of that," said Jones.
The best part for Jones is making the kids smile. "When you go out there, you see how happy those kids are just for your presence," said Jones. "It makes me happy. Just seeing the kids smile and actually enjoy my presence, it's been fun for me."

Best regards to the very happy parents, Brian and Christine!
Learning to Speak Climate
"When a person is addicted to crack cocaine, his problem is not that the price of crack is going up. His problem is what that crack addiction is doing to his whole body. The cure is not cheaper crack, which would only perpetuate the addiction and all the problems it is creating. The cure is to break the addiction.
"Ditto for us. Our cure is not cheaper gasoline, but a clean energy system. And the key to building that is to keep the price of gasoline and coal — our crack — higher, not lower, so consumers are moved to break their addiction to these dirty fuels and inventors are moved to create clean alternatives."
"A Bahai girl, in a school of 800 girls, has studied herself to such a degree and carries herself in such a way that everyone is amazed. Are you aware of this?! She is so dignified that anyone who doesn't know her, thinks that she is probably the daughter of an Ayatollah… but shes a Bahai!
"...I myself had a Bahai student, a Jewish student, a Christian student. I swear to that I would give 20/20 to a bahai for their personality and behaviour …because I cant give them 30!"

A few quick notes today …
The World Series is starting tonight!
- Jonah Keri of Grantland picks the Giants to win it all.
- TNT columnist John McGrath picks the Giants
- Big League Stew has 10 numbers for the W.S.
On a Mariners note, Greg Johns of MLB.com reported that Michael Saunders missed Super 2 status by one day. What is Super 2?
From the MLB collective bargaining agreement …
A player with three or more years of service, but less than six years, may file for salary arbitration. In addition, a player can be classified as a "Super Two" and be eligible for arbitration with less than three years of service. A player with at least two but less than three years of Major League service shall be eligible for salary arbitration if he has accumulated at least 86 days of service during the immediately preceding season and he ranks in the top 22 percent (increased from 17 percent in previous agreements) in total service in the class of Players who have at least two but less than three years of Major League service, however accumulated, but with at least 86 days of service accumulated during the immediately preceding season.
So basically, Saunders will make the MLB minimum of just over 450,000 next season, instead of around 650,000. More importantly his service time clock isn't expedited. Usually this makes a different with mega stars down the line and their contracts, and Saunders hasn't reached that echelon yet. But it still save Seattle some money.
Jeff Sullivan of Lookout Landing writes about the situation as only he can.
This is from a few days ago, but TNT columnist John McGrath is on board with signing free agent outfielder Josh Hamilton.
Here's a story on James Paxton from a Canadian newspaper
It appears that Michael Pineda won't be ready till June of next season.
Former manager Don Wakamatsu will likely be a candidate for the recently vacated Blue Jays managing position.
Here's the Mariners' winter league report compiled by Kelly Munro. It not only looks at the AFL, but other leagues around the world.

In Macbeth how does Shakespeare demonstrate how easily evil can destroy the human soul?What is shakespeare's interpretation of evil and what does a human soul mean?
- print Print
- list Cite
Concerning your question about Shakespeare's Macbeth, I will play the devil's advocate a bit.
I don't know what a human "soul" is, as it is used in this prompt. It seems to me that the term is something that is useful in a work of art like this play, perhaps, but not useful in criticism or discussion of a work of art: it's too imprecise. Strictly speaking, the soul is a second part of a human being that is saved or lost, according to Christian beliefs, which mirror the Greek belief in the dichotomy (different parts) of a human being. If you use the term this way, then your question just refers to evil causing Macbeth to be damned. If this is the case, then the answer is quite simple, perhaps: Macbeth does evil acts, is or becomes evil, then faces eternal damnation, according to Christian beliefs.
But I think the prompt uses soul in a different manner, which is difficult to define. I think it refers to soul in that broad, perhaps undefinable, way used by different people to mean whatever they think it means. The word tends to refer to some deeper part of a human being, some essential part, what makes us tick, so to speak. But the term is so vague that it probably has no place in criticism or literary analysis.
Even if one does use the term in this manner and answers the prompt, however, there is still a problem. Isn't Macbeth evil already? Doesn't the evil come from within Macbeth himself? The prompt seems to identify evil as a separate entity, as if evil somehow influences Macbeth and makes him kill Duncan.
In other words, if Macbeth is evil already, and if the evil comes from within Macbeth, then evil is what Macbeth is and it doesn't destroy anything. Macbeth is evil, and he is ambitious. He kills or orders the killings of numerous people due to his ambition. Evil is not something that destroys Macbeth. Evil is what Macbeth is or becomes.
The prompt, then, has two problems: the way it uses "soul" and the way it uses "evil." I don't know what "soul" is, but Macbeth is evil, most likely even before he hears the witches' predictions, and he is ambitious. And his ambition makes him commit evil acts.

The Boston Celtics' backcourt keeps getting thinner. Leandro Barbosa left Monday's game with a knee injury, and it's not sounding good. Boston Globe writer Gary Washburn tweeted that the injury is likely to end Barbosa's season. Jason Terry's value is going up. He ended Monday's game with 12 points, three 3-pointers and six assists. I trust Jet more than Courtney Lee and Avery Bradley. I also wouldn't be surprised to see Jeff Green (18 points, a three, four rebounds, a steal and a block) get more run. An MRI tomorrow for Barbosa but it doesn't look good. Don't expect him back this season #celtics — gary washburn (@GwashNBAGlobe) February 12, 2013 KG says team was told injury will cost Barbosa the season #celtics — gary washburn (@GwashNBAGlobe) February 12, 2013 Expect the #celtics to be in the market for a point guard pronto — gary washburn (@GwashNBAGlobe) February 12, 2013

Workers already struggling with their new open plan work space and revolving doors, have complained that a string of performances in the piazza have forced them to put earplugs in so they can get on with their work.
The open-air piazza, called "World", is part of the revamped Broadcasting House in Portland Place, and was supposed to be an open-plan area to "stage cultural events and performances."
But a number of BBC workers have complained that the noise from various performances over the past few months has left them unable to concentrate.
Oliver Jones, a producer on World of Music on the World Service, said he was fed up with the piazza performances.
He wrote to the BBC's internal magazine Aerial, that he had "no space to think", adding: "Please let's not have any more performances in the atrium space in Broadcasting House.
"I work on the seventh floor in New Broadcasting House and the level of noise made it extremely difficult to concentrate on work - you could hear it even with headphones on."
He added: "It's not suitable as a performance space, as the noise gets to so many parts of the building and affects so many people who are trying to work hard.
"Even if it was the loveliest music in the world, there are lots of other distractions in the open plan design and we don't need any more."
Another BBC worker, who did not want to be identified, said the noise from the shows were such a distraction that he and his colleagues used earplugs to try and drown out the racket.
He said: "The very nature of the building means that any noise from the piazza flows directly upwards and affects everyone's concentration.
"It feels like you are working in the middle of a gig a lot of the time and many of us are using earplugs to try and drown out the noise."
The open-air piazza has been described as a "new art pavement at the heart of the new central public space" directly in front of the BBC's new glass-fronted headquarters
The BBC said the piazza, which also has a cafe - was the perfect place to "eat and relax away from the bustle of Oxford Street".
The piazza is due to be fully opened to the public in April next year when a cafe with al fresco dining will cater for BBC staff and passers-by.
It was designed by artist Mark Pimlott and includes more than 750 flagstones inscribed with place names from around the world.
The BBC states: "This unique public arena will provide a place to linger and see the BBC in action, a performance and exhibition space, and a café." It adds that the World 'reflects the global dimension of the BBC's broadcasting."

Looking good. :-)
In Ensign-1 you play the role of a space fighter pilot returning from a deep space colonization mission. On arrival back to our own solar system, you find Earth has been colonized by a hostile alien force. It's now up to you, with the help of your mothership, the Ensign-1, to take it back Ensign-1 allows allows for complete freedom in approaching objectives. You can fight from the safety of your spacecraft, or land and exit to explore space stations and carriers on foot. You can commandeer any spacecraft in the game, no matter how big or how small. Defend an asteroid base, or take the fight to the enemy with a huge mothership, friends manning turrets, it's your choice. The game also features a multiplayer mode where players can explore a randomly generated galaxy, either fighting co-operatively to clean out enemy fighters, or battling each other for supremacy.
Looking good. :-)
Nifty nifty.
Nice. Looks a bit like an Star Wars Y-Wing. That's the kind of ship I'd think the current starfighter cockpit would be in.
Hm, actually, looks more like that dropship from Aliens.
Personally I think it looks kind of like an A-10, and that's the kind of stats I'll be giving it. Slow speed, heavy armor and offense.
Looks delicious!

Two principals who lost their positions in April have filed claims against Bassett Unified that accuse the district of bullying, racism, Brown Act violations and unlawfully allowing former board member Laura Santos to vote.
The two claims from former Bassett High School Principal Robert Reyes and former Nueva Vista Continuation School Principal Jimmy Lima named the district and high school English teacher Tom Covington.
Reyes and Lima were released and reassigned in April for undisclosed reasons. Both men's claims, filed by attorney William Rehwald, were rejected by the board. The claims state the district caused more than $50,000 in damages.
"There is a myriad of allegations," Rehwald said Friday. "They are upset that they were removed."
Reyes and Lima's claims allege they "endured bullying" from the district and Covington that included "threats of violence and bodily injury."
Reyes stated the bullying led to him being placed on administrative leave in December. Lima's claim indicates he was "terminated" based on his national origin. Rehwald wrote the board violated the Brown Act by making its decision outside of the board meeting and that Santos should not have voted.
"The vote of the board was unlawful in that Ms. Santos voted when she is no longer permitted to sit as a member of vote," Rehwald wrote in Lima's claim. Santos had both a seat on Bassett Unified and Mount San Antonio Community College's boards until she resigned from Bassett's board last month. Under California law, an official elected in two conflicting positions is considered to have forfeited the earlier of the two. No one challenged Santos' two seats in the roughly six months she held both, so it was never determined incompatible.
Board President Paul Solano scoffed at the two claims, calling them an "extreme reach."
"Even if her vote was invalidated, I don't think it would change the outcome of the vote," Solano said. "It's a moot point legally and otherwise."
Reyes and Lima were reassigned on a 4-1 vote, with only board member Joe Medina voting no.
"It's still an illegal act," Rehwald said "I certainly wanted to raise it and keep it alive, whether we're going to do anything with it or not."
Solano encouraged the claimants to report any Brown Act violation to the District Attorney's office. He could not comment on the claims of bullying because of other pending litigation. He called the resources being wasted on the claims "unfortunate."
"We're changing the climate of our schools and I'm looking forward to that and I'm sure students, parents and teachers are all looking forward to that too," he said of the reassignments.
Both Reyes and Covington were placed on paid administrative leave in 2013 after lobbing accusations of bullying at each other. The district placed them on leave while it conducted an investigation into their claims. Reyes was reassigned, along with Lima, in April. Covington was returned to his position last month.
Rehwald indicated his firm is still investigating what it plans to do now that the claim is rejected and he did not have any time frame for when a lawsuit may be filed.

One of Gloucester's problems this season has been that they have been consistent only in their inconsistency. But after recording a second successive Premiership double over their West Country rivals, they moved stealthily into the top five, primed for an assault on the play-offs when, or if, the weather improves and the pitches become firmer.
The players took to the field to a deluge of rain and left it bathed in sunlight. Gloucester were dominant for long periods, but missed kicks and passes kept them within a penalty of forfeiting victory. Bath lacked quality, pointing afterwards to seven injuries, but the visitors excited in a way the home side did not.
Much has been made about Gloucester's backs all season and Jonny May, playing out of position at full-back, again showed deft footwork, while Bath's ploy of bombarding him with kicks yielded little reward. An early drop by him was the prelude to an old-fashioned fight that involved all of the forwards and most of the backs. Ryan Caldwell sparked the fire by thumping into Jim Hamilton, who responded with a swing of a fist. They were sent to the sin-bin.
The game simmered throughout, with Stuart Hooper testing the tolerance threshold of numerous Gloucester players, which was particularly low in the case of the fly-half, Freddie Burns, but there were moments when the rugby defied the conditions.
Bath's opening try was one instance. Michael Claassens took a free-kick quickly and switched direction to free Lee Mears on the blind side. The hooker kicked to the line and Tom Biggs got in front of Charlie Sharples, who struggled to turn on the treacherous surface, to hack on and score. Gloucester were level on 17 minutes through another well-created try. Burns dummied into space, Eliota Fuimaono-Sapolu flicked the ball on to Mike Tindall and the former England captain went for the line from 30 metres. He was checked by the covering Olly Woodburn near the line, but the ball was moved quickly left and James Simpson-Daniel's long pass found the prop Nick Wood unmarked.
There were no more tries, although Akapusi Qera wasted a chance when he ignored Sharples outside him and was hauled down by Olly Barkley. Gloucester led 11-5 at the interval through two Burns penalties, but the lead was snuffed out in the third quarter by Barkley and Tom Heathcote.
Bath seemed to have the momentum, but Gloucester's pack took charge and Ryan Mills's 66th-minute penalty extended Gloucester's league run to one defeat in five.

New Richmond village council voted to appoint a new committee for the purpose of assisting Mayor Ramona Carr in preparing a request for police services. The committee consists of council members Nick Wolf, Richard Matthews, and Paul Vanderbosch, who made the motion to appoint the committee.
"I chose Mr. Wolf because he is a former mayor and Mr. Matthews is a former police officer," said Vanderbosch. "I think their insight will be helpful."
The request for services will set the annual police levy as the maximum amount the village is willing to pay for police services.
The committee will send requests to the New Richmond Police Department, Clermont County Sherriff's Office, and the Pierce Township Police Department, as well as any other department that is interested in submitting a proposal.
"It is my understanding that there are 30 police departments and 17 fire departments in Clermont County," Vanderbosch said. "I personally think there should only be one police department and one fire department for the entire county."
Vanderbosch, a former resident of Florida, said that is how Duval and Sarasota counties in Florida operate. He said one police and fire department was "enough" for them.
It is also the belief of the committee that the New Richmond Police Department could find ways to cut costs.
"This in no way means we are definitely going to enter into a contract for police services," Wolf said. "Right now we are just checking what it would cost to see what our options are."
Councilman Rick Hilt is opposed to requesting services.
"There are many institutions that make up a community including churches, veterans organizations, social clubs, schools, service clubs, fire/EMS department, village government and the police department," Hilt said in an email. "When one of these organizations such as the police department disappears or we rely on someone else outside to replace them we begin to lose some of our independence."
Hilt said he feels that an outside party would be faced with the same cost issues as the New Richmond Police Department. He is concerned that a department located eight miles outside the village would be unable to effectively serve the residents of New Richmond.
"It is much too soon to throw up our hands and say the problem is too big for us to handle," Hilt said. "It is my belief that our village is best equipped to solve our own problems."
The new committee appointed by council requested that all proposals for services be submitted by Aug. 31 and that, if any proposals meet the approval of council, the village enter into an agreement with one of the agencies by October 31, with an effective date of Jan. 1, 2014.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A proposal that would have banned teaching about homosexuality in public schools failed in a House subcommittee mainly because state officials say it's not necessary.
Members of the House Education K-12 Subcommittee on Tuesday voted to allow the state Board of Education to examine the bill sponsored by Rep. Stacey Campfield.
The Knoxville Republican says he proposed the measure after receiving complaints from parents that two schools were advocating homosexuality. Campfield refused when asked by lawmakers to provide the names of the schools.
Bruce Opie is legislative director for the Tennessee Department of Education. He told lawmakers he didn't know of any state curriculum that involved teaching about homosexuality.

Smells problem
2000 Infiniti Q45 V8 Front Wheel Drive Automatic 166000 miles
For several months I have been smelling gas fumes inside my car. This happens at least 2- 3 times per week when I start to drive and will last for about 5 miles or so. On 4-17-10, I had valet parking and when the car was returned, the odor was stronger than ever before inside. When I opened the windows it got worst. Again, after driving several miles, the odor went away. It was 2 days later when I smelled it again. Someone has checked the car, but cannot find anything.
have the same problem?

PEOPLE who see illegal or anti-social off-road driving on paths in the countryside are being urged to report it to the police on 101 immediately.
Sussex Pathwatch is a service set up to help protect the safety of everyone using rights of way, fields and woodland to prevent the damage that illegal off-roading can cause.
A similar service called Countrywatch has been set up in Hampshire.
Anyone can report an offence by calling 101 or emailing email@example.com in Sussex and firstname.lastname@example.com.

After conflicting reports about whether or not they were going to get married, Tom Brady, 31, and Gisele Bündchen, 28, finally tied the knot in a small ceremony in Santa Monica on February 26th. Well, they apparently really liked getting married because Radar is reporting that they plan on doing it again. It will basically be exactly like the first ceremony—tiny, with only a few family members and friends present— except this one will take place in Costa Rica.
Maybe the couple feels like a do-over is necessary because Tom went to Brazil and got the blessing from Gisele's family after they were already married. Or maybe it's just an excuse to take another honeymoon.

Ask a Neurologist and Get an Answer ASAP
Hello and thank you for your question.
Ingesting these types of mushrooms has a strong hallucinogenic effect that begins to affect the user within 20-30 minutes.
The initial feelings are described as mild anxiety or anticipatory sensations. Entire physical body sensation of energy or mild electricity running through the body is common.
This are the effects of magic mushrooms, however some may experience and some may not.
Headaches, often experienced as the effects of the drug wear off, even occurring the next day, and lasting up to 24 hours after taking mushrooms.
Mild nausea and anxiety can also be experienced after taking magic mushrooms.
Based on your description you just had a mild effect from the ingestion with no apparent hallucinations.
please get back to me if you have any further questions. Thank you.
No you did not have any permenant damage to the brain as the effects lasts for 2 hours most and you did no even have hallucinations. You just experienced mild effect.

These principles are the following: the principle of objectivity, the principle of humanism, the principle of tradition, the principle of anti-dogmatism and the principle of public utility or responsibility What is more, they were implicitly expressed Anton Dumitriu, an important Romanian logician, who was born in Braila. For this reason, we found it appropriate to render some quotations from his work to prove the similarity of ideas of the two scholars. Last, but not least, in order to prove the fact that these principles are intuitively known and followed by every authentic researcher, we will try to trace them in Professor Alexandru Puiu's scientific work.

OHHH... So you're mostly talking about styles that are already fairly shitty just shitting themselves up further in random ways.
Or you could be talking about the natural proliferation of techinques in different directions. My instructor doesn't use the same **** that his instructor used because his style and body type are a little different. He tends to to teach the stuff HE uses with occasional forays into other stuff. It's not that he's refusing to teach us ****, it's that the class naturally trends in that direction. As a consequence he has been shown techniques that he may never show us simply because he hardly ever uses them. Not because they are SEKRET TEKNIKS!
By the same token various other instructors all tend to teach mostly their own game and style. Some gyms are almost without leglocks, some are light on takedowns, others trend in various other directions. That's neither watering down, nor some conspiracy to keep knowledge away from people it's just the simple fact that it's HARD to transfer a lifetime of knowledge to people in less than a lifetime.
What is important is that the techniques you do retain are high percentage techniques that work under pressure and the you practice under pressure. If you do that then it doesn't matter whether you got taught the 32nd hidden variation to leopard hugs the snake. The **** you DO know works.

I must not be as clear as I think I am being. Sorry if this isn't coming out correctly.
I don't disagree with anything you just said. Of course you will use the techniques that work best for you, and naturally, you would tend to teach that which you know works. That is NOT what I am referring to.
There are people walking around with advanced rank who don't know half of the art. They are not aware that they do not know it. The techniques are not 'sekrit' at all, but they were not taught them.
I do know that when I spar with them, and use a pin/lock or takedown, they give me a stern look and say 'don't do that, it's not Wado'. To the point where they don't teach breakfalling because 'it's not Wado.' Makes sweeping dangerous.
And it is Wado. Is that more clear?Originally Posted by pauli

Why do you get to define Wado?
Who defines Wado? Where is the technique library for Wado codified? If a group of high ranking Wado people get together and make a list and say, "This! This is Wado!" and everyone in their schools follows their rules, then they have a Wado federation and that IS Wado for them and if the people from your side don't bother teaching your **** to everyone then after a few generations your **** is GONE and Wado is what that federation says it is.
That is not necessarily watering down either. It's the evolution of the art.
What I want to know is WHY you think someone would deliberately withhold techniques from their students?

I did booj for 18 months. By my maths that makes me 6 times more qualified than the OP to defend ninjutsu.
I shan't though.
Styggens, As the respected voice of ninjing here, I'd love to know if you started with a thread like this, then managed to earn respect later, or if you were wise in your early days here.
I nearly did it with an 'aikido is misunderstood' thread when I first joined. I even got as far as typing it up. I and my arsehole are pleased I held it in.

I'll give the OP the benefit of the doubt and give him an intelligent response. I'll grant you that it's entirely possible for a person to train in some form of Bujinkan and become a badass. But 99.9% of people won't. That same person would become a badass training karate, TKD, Judo, or just doing pushups. It's hard to justify recommending a style on the slim slim chance you can become that diamond in the rough. Said badass would be far more badass in a MT school, BJJ, MMA, etc.
Also, with all your talk of history, keep in mind that the old school ninjas were trained first and foremost in techniques of stealth, camoflauge, weapons, and some hand-to-hand but certainly not a primary focus. Their skillset (if we are to assume the history to be true) was broad, not deep. In one on one combat, a Samurai would have their head. We do have that equivalent today, but you won't find it in a Bujinkan school. We call them Special Forces.

Your post is confusing as:
"Before this gets brought up, let me go ahead and say that debates regarding the historical legitimacy of Ninjutsu styles are pointless."
"At one time, there were over 100 ryu of Ninjutsu known to exist in Japan. That much is fact. For all we know, they might all have survived in secret to this day, but we have no way to know."

From the Top to the Pits: Steelers, Penguins on the Decline in PittsburghMay 14, 2010
The fall from grace seems so much more harsh when it is a sudden crash as opposed to a steady decline.
For the last few years the sports world has been slightly taken over by the city of Pittsburgh, with the exception of the Pirates of course. Don't hate on the poor Pirates though, they only haven't had a winning season in 17 years.
Aside from that disaster, two other major sports teams have been defined by the city of Pittsburgh for a while now.
First you have the Pittsburgh Steelers, who are a year and a half removed from their sixth championship ring. They also won another title over the Seahawks when "The Bus" carried them to a victory in Super Bowl XL. They have won more Super Bowl's than any other NFL team, and were on top of the world just a short time ago. Now it would be nice to see a good thing about them when you turn on ESPN.
Last year was a disaster for the Steelers, as they joined the list of teams that struggle to back on track after winning a Super Bowl.
They finished the season strong, winning each of their last three games but failed to make the playoffs. Inconsistent play from their defense and their star quarterback was the main reason for the struggle. Speaking of their star quarterback, didn't something happen with him this offseason?
The sex scandal involving Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger now only makes the underachieving team that much more interesting. Roethlisberger has a history of problems off the field, including a motorcycle accident that nearly claimed his life just a few years ago.
If I'm the Steelers, I'd take a hint. Yeah the guy won me two Super Bowls, but he makes more headlines off the field than on it. There are some signs that they might try to trade Big Ben, primarily the rumors floated around during draft time, but no such deal was made. The star QB also was suspended by the league for the first four games of the 2010 campaign, making it even harder on a Steelers team that goes into the season with high expectations after last year's disappointment. Now maybe Mike Tomlin is on the hot seat if the Steelers down win? Only in the NFL.
Straying away from the NFL now, the Pittsburgh Penguins have shown dominance in the NHL for a few seasons now. Not being an avid NHL fan, I'm not sure about a lot of thing the Penguins have done over the last few years, but I do know about this Sidney Crosby guy.
The development on Sid the Kid has been a major reason for the Pen's success on the ice for a while now. The battle will always rage on for which was a better pick, Crosby or Capitals forward Alexander Ovechkin? My pick will always be Crosby; he doesn't score as much, but he's more of a team player and also has a ring on his finger. They have also had solid play from Evgeni Malkin.
But a year removed from a Stanley Cup win, they were knocked out of the playoffs by an eight seed. Despite a convincing 6-3 win in the first game of the series, the Penguins failed to put away the Canadians who have now won two game sevens over the course of the playoffs.
So while every team falls eventually, these two teams have crashed particularly hard. Whether its destruction of your team off the field, or on the ice everyone falls sooner or later. Its just odd to see two potential dynasties fall so hard.

At 67, Catherine Deneuve is still beautiful. She is still elegant. And she is still … French.
News of her beauty and elegance preceded her, even before she joined me in the garden of a Sunset Strip hotel. She had just completed a news conference with a group of foreign journalists, who were pouring out of the room with unsolicited gushing and fawning. "She is so beautiful," one after another said to no one in particular. "She is so elegant."
When the actress walked into the sunlight, the beauty and elegance immediately took a back seat to the French. She pulled out a long thin European cigarette, and she seemed a bit annoyed to learn that the state of California had just banned smoking in many outdoor areas. Finally, an assistant pointed to a shaded area with two chairs, where the legendary actress could satisfy her desire for a smoke.
As soon as she sat down and lit up, a waiter brought a pre-ordered soft drink, but the actress raised an eyebrow and reminded him gently but firmly that she didn't want ice. The waiter apologized and offered to bring another glass, but Deneuve waved him off. She reached into the glass and dramatically tossed the offending cubes into a nearby shrub.
Who doesn't love the French?
This combination of icy beauty and a willingness to act raw and real have been a hallmark of Deneuve for more than four decades, since the time of director Luis Buñuel's "Belle De Jour" and Roman Polanski's "Repulsion," two 1960s-era films that turned Deneuve into an iconic figure, not only in French cinema but in Hollywood as well.
See photos of Catherine Deneuve throughout her career
Although her movie reputation in America was secure mainly among people who like to read subtitles in the dark, it was her commercials for the perfume Chanel No. 5 ("Don't hate me because I'm beautiful") that made her face and sultry voice a star on this side of the Atlantic.
Many might assume, given her age and her absence from those commercials, that she has retired from public life, but the reality is that she has worked steadily for all these decades, and now brings another starring role to our shores.
In "Potiche," which opens Friday, Deneuve plays the long-suffering wife of an insufferable businessman who is taken ill during contentious contract negotiations with his striking workers. Although it is billed as a comedy, the impact is serious as her character assumes the reins of her husband's umbrella factory and transforms from bored, frumpy housewife to dynamic executive.
But we're not going to lie to you – it is a bit unsettling for someone accustomed to seeing the Catherine Deneuve of those early films to watch her in an unflattering jogging suit in the movie's opening scene.
We talked to the mother of two (a son with director Roger Vadim and a daughter with actor Marcello Mastroianni) and grandmother of four about getting older and how it has affected her career and, of course, she even weighs in on Charlie Sheen.
ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER: Do you understand that a good part of the American audience will probably assume this is a comeback role, not realizing that you have worked steadily for years?
CATHERINE DENEUVE: No, I don't think that at all. I have had films over here every few years. Frankly, I don't think too much about that.
Q. Why do you continue to work so hard?
A. I don't work hard. I do films because I love making films. I work hard when I'm not making films. Sometimes, that part of my life seems like work.
Q. Like what?
A. Like talking about films, and talking about your personal life. I would much rather live my life than talk about it (laughs). Talking about my life seems like work.
Q. Promoting films is part of the game, isn't it?
A. It is, but it's not the part I like.
Q. Did you always dislike this part of the movie-making process?
A. Yes. I thought the film should speak for itself. They put enough money in advertising the film. I don't see the need in actors talking about it. I don't think that's interesting.
Q. People don't want to hear about the film; they want to hear about you.
A. But I don't want to talk about me (laughs). That's the problem for me.
Q. Were you comfortable with that icy blonde image that followed you in the early part of your career?
A. I don't think I started out that way, but once I did those commercials for Chanel in the States, I became more famous for that than for my films. The French films that came to America didn't get the publicity that those commercials got. But I didn't mind that image. I thought it was a very nice image.
Q. You didn't mind that you were more famous for the commercials than the films?
A. I think it's fair. You're in magazines every month, and French films arrive only once or twice a year. You can't compete with that.
Q. When you started out in film, you got so big so fast. Was that a burden for a young woman?
A. It was so fast, and it was a burden because I didn't know how to handle it. But I realized very quickly that I didn't want my career interfering with my private life. That attitude makes it easier to get through it.
Q. You were just trying to have some privacy, but didn't that attitude only fuel the cool, icy blonde image?
A. Exactly. But that's the way I chose to live so I couldn't complain.
Q. Can you imagine what it would be like to be as big as you were, but in today's paparazzi and tabloid world?
A. Some of that went on when I was younger, but I can't imagine what it must be like today, when you can photograph anyone, anywhere, anytime.
Q. They even take photos of the children of celebrities.
A. Not in France. Children are protected in France against that kind of intrusion.
Q. Were you hounded much when you were younger?
A. Oh yes. I had to fight back to protect myself. I went to trial many times. There are laws to protect privacy in France.
Q. Would you start a career now knowing how it might intrude on your privacy?
A. I probably wouldn't know better if I were just starting out. But if I knew what I know now, I would be frightened, so I'm not sure I would do it. It's not good for your life, and it's not good for your films. How can it be good for your films if your image is out there all the time? I look at CNN every morning and see Charlie Sheen's face. His life is like a show. I don't see how he can ever go back to being an actor after all this publicity about his private life. It's incredible to see his face one moment, and then Libya the next.
Q. May I ask you an unfair question?
A. Of course, but I can't promise I'll answer it (laughs).
Q. Have you ever wondered how your acting career might have gone if you had not been so beautiful?
A. Oh, it would have been very different. I know how much I owe to my physical appearance. When I started, I was very young, and I know I wasn't chosen for my ability. When you are 16, you are not chosen for your ability. It's about how you look. But it's not just the face. It's about the emotion that comes out of the face.
Q. When you looked in the mirror, did you understand what other people were seeing?
A. No, no. I am from a family of good-looking girls, so it was not that big a thing to me. We were not taught to think about our looks. It was not something I'm proud of; it's something that was given to me.
Q. Do you think the French handle aging better than Americans?
A. Certainly. There is not the obsession with aging in France.
Q. So, you had no problem getting older?
A. Of course I had a problem. I had a problem as a woman, as an actress, as someone looking for good scripts. But I've been lucky because I've always had people writing scripts just for me.
Q. It never affected your career?
A. Perhaps around 40. That was a turning point. But I started to produce films, and the acting roles came back. It's OK now. I am at peace.

Three separate historical regions compose the modern state of Libya: Tripolitania, Fezzan, and Cyrenaica. Not until 1951 did all three parts come together to for the Kingdom of Libya. Now, elected officials in Benghazi, Cyrenaica, are calling for full autonomy for the eastern portion of Libya. The National Transitional Council (NTC) does not want to grant such autonomy.
The history of the Libyan region is long. It reaches back to the time when Carthage ruled much of the Mediterranean. In the years Carthage was creating and strengthening Punic Tripolitania, Fezzan served as the land bridge between the Mediterranean and the Sahel States of Africa. While the west belonged to Carthage and (later) Rome, Cyrenaica in the east belonged to Greece. With the ebb of Punic and Greek power, the Roman Empire united Tripolitania, Fezzan, and Cyrenaica into the Africa Nova province (under Augustus). With the crumbling of the Roman Empire came the Vandals, who destroyed much of Roman Africa, including modern-day Libya. The Vandals eventually forced the Byzantines into just a few cities in the west (notably Cyrene), where they defended themselves against the Vandals, the Monophysites, and the Arab Islamic, who eventually swept unpopular Byzantium from Africa. Nothing significant changed until World War I, when the power of Italy replaced that of the Ottoman Empire. Italy ruled their African colony as two provinces: Cyrenaica and Tripolitania (which included Fezzan).
When Italy lost World War II, Libya was split into its three historical parts: The independent Emirate of Cyrenaica, French-controlled Fezzan, and British-controlled Tripolitania. In 1951, King Idris I proclaimed the United Kingdom of Libya, uniting the three provinces into one. This lasted until 1969, when Muammar Qaddafi overthrew Idris.
During most of its history, the land of Libya was not unified. Cyrenaica, separated from Tripolitania by the Gulf of Sidra (and desert), was usually governed by a separate ruler, separated into a separate colony, or otherwise separated from Tripolitania. Thus, the call in Benghazi should not have come as a shock to those in Tripoli. With no functioning central government, the parts are beginning to return to a former period. Just as Somaliland (former British Somaliland) has declared independence from Somalia (former Italian Somaliland), so too is Cyrenaica seeking a former status denied to them.

This, along with two posts over on Cahiers, mark my final political posts before the election:
The "promise" of Barack Obama and
The lack of promise exhibited by Gov. Palin.
There may be a surprise there, even if motivated by a half-hearted moral obligation to vote. A couple of issues:
Human life: This is always the most important issue, from conception to death and every stage in between. Without human beings none of this means anything! If a government is unwilling to protect society's most vulnerable, it is a corrupt system that will eventually teeter on the brink of oblivion. This is not a judgment sent from God, but the natural consequence of acting foolishly. Let's miss the European train to civilizational suicide by protecting life, encouraging life, which means recognizing that human rights are God-given, not governmentally granted.
Family: This means recognizing that marriage is considerably older than the United States of America. Families create, nurture, and encourage life. It should come as no surprise to anyone that study after study demonstrates that children who grow up in a stable home with their father and mother are better off than any alternative. Fostering the family is in the state's interest. This can be done without in any way ignoring the needs of those who do not belong to traditional families or women in dire circumstances who are pregnant. I am a both/and guy who rejects false dilemmas.
Health care: As a tax payer I resent having to guarantee health care only after people are destitute and when treatment is most expensive. It would be cheaper to provide access to preventative care. Economically, the cost of health care is making us non-competitive in a global market. Plus, it is a human right. So, to whoever gets elected, fix it- it is not a partisan issue. Access to affordable health care is a human issue, it is a jobs issue. So, whatever special interests you need to kick in the groin to accomplish this long overdue reform, put on your steel toed boots and kick!
Economic fairness (solidarity): Put an end to crisis capitalism. If gains are privatized, losses should be, too. If you want me to bail out a Wall Street firm when they collapse due to incompetency, greed, and mismanagement, then I want a share of the profits when times are good and so do my fellow citizens. So, establish a rigorous regulatory system for banks and investment firms and create a tough enforcement agency. If nobody goes to jail or gets fired over what has happened, then you've been bought and paid for! Labor needs to be respected and rewarded. Most of us are laborers, not executives, or business owners. The economy exists for the human person, not the human person for the economy. It may sound like a slogan, but it is a moral axiom. The goodness of a society can be measured by its respect for life and its commitment to the poor.
Environment: We must be responsible stewards of creation. Like health care, this is not a partisan issue. We need to live sustainably. This does not mean wearing hemp sandals, dreadlocks, smelling like we just left a Grateful Dead concert, and doing freaky dances in Golden Gate Park. We need to realize that while a rising tide may lift all boats, we all don't need 200 foot yachts! This is the lesson from the mortgage meltdown, both from the lender and borrower sides of the equation. It is financially and environmentally unsustainable.
To quote the late, great Joe Strummer "It's time to take the humanity back into the center of the ring and follow that for a time . . . without people you're nothing."
Hang this over your desk: It's not the economy, it's people, stupid!
Jon Stewart gives me hope. Can I be that guy? I guess I am. Thank you very much! Neil, the comment box is open.
I am so comforted to learn that suffering has caused Alan Greenspan to discover that, at least, he exists, saying to a House committee, "those of us who have looked to the self-interest of lending institutions to protect shareholder's equity (myself especially) are in a state of shocked disbelief". Yeah, shareholder equity! Read those poor dupes who were forced to give up fixed pensions for 401Ks. Congratulations ownership society, you own $700 billion in worthless paper! Hey Greenspan, for old time's sake, let's lower interest rates to stimulate the economy and let the market work its magic. Sorry, Jon Stewart effect.

There is an old saying in magic, "Do not summon up that which you cannot put down." Summoning up something without knowing how to go about it, and more importantly how to send a spirit back to where it came from is a very, very bad idea.
If you have to ask how to summon up any sort of entity then you aren't ready to do that. Spend time (and I mean the necessary years) learning how to go about this safely and responsibly. This isn't something one tries when one is starting out.
