|Top performers on Top of the Pops: 1996
Maria Nayler is a British female singer. In the early 1990s she was part of 'Ultraviolet' who released two singles "Kites" (1990) and "I Wish That" (1991). In 1995, she appeared as featured vocalist on Sasha's trance track "Be As One". It received a release through Deconstruction Records in early 1996, peaking at number 17 in the UK Singles Chart.[1 ]
Later that same year Nayler teamed up with the Italian record producer Robert Miles, who applied her vocals to the UK track "One and One", the third single culled from Miles' album, Dreamland. "One and One" peaked at #3 in the UK chart.
In 1998, Nayler signed a solo recording contract with Deconstruction and released "Naked and Sacred", a cover version of a Chynna Phillips song. Featuring the B-side "The Other Side", produced by Sasha, as well as a speed garage remix from Tim Deluxe, "Naked and Sacred" reached #32 in the UK. The double A-side "Love is the God"/"Will You Be With Me" was issued in August 1998.
In 2000, Nayler returned with "Angry Skies", which was produced by Tilt. The track reached #42 on the UK Singles Chart. The second 12" also featured the Sasha produced "She". In 2007, "Angry Skies" was re-released on Lost Language.
Nayler appeared on an episode of Never Mind the Buzzcocks as a mystery guest.
In 2009, Nayler returned by performing the vocals on the trance song, "We Belong", composed by Ferry Corsten and featured on A State of Trance.

NCAA Punishes Saint Leo U.
Saint Leo University, in Florida, has been punished by the National Collegiate Athletic Association for major violations by its cross country and swimming programs. Monday, in a public report, the Division II Committee on Infractions noted that the current and former head coaches of the men's cross country team -- whom the NCAA did not identify but are Melissa Miller and Cyle Sage, respectively -- knowingly allowed two athletes who were ineligible to participate in meets "ride with the team, receive travel expenses and participate under names of other teammates." The two athletes were "partial qualifiers," and therefore could practice with the team during the 2008-9 season but had to wait an additional year until improving their grades to participate in events. According to the report, Sage "provided false information when asked about the violations" and Miller "failed to report the known violations." Sage also coached swimming at the institution. In another violation of rules, he provided "bicycles and bicycle parts, bike helmets, running shoes, sunglasses and other apparel" to athletes who were on both his swimming and cross-country teams for their use in triathlons. The NCAA has put Saint Leo on probation for two years and placed both Miller and Sage on two-year "show cause" penalties – meaning any institution that hires them during that period must report to the NCAA how it will monitor their behavior so that future violations will not occur.

Oil prices soared more than $3 a barrel, surpassing $127 for the first time Friday and putting more pressure on already lofty gasoline and diesel prices ahead of the summer driving season in the northern hemisphere.
Also pushing oil prices up were speculation that China's demand for diesel needed to fuel its power plants would rise due to reconstruction efforts after this week's earthquakes and an upward revision of an oil price forecast by investment bank Goldman Sachs from $107 to $141 a barrel for the second half of the year.
Light, sweet crude for June delivery on the New York Mercantile Exchange rose as high as $127.82 a barrel in electronic trading by afternoon in Europe, before retreating to $127.55, up from Thursday's close of $124.12.
The previous high for oil was $126.98 a barrel set on Tuesday.
"Everything the market looks at is bullish," said a report by U.S. energy risk management firm Cameron Hanover.
Technical trading, which takes into account on prices patterns and other technical data instead of relying more on fundamentals such as supply and demand, also was seen as a reason for the high prices.
"Unless there is a confluence of substantive bearish news, when there is a pullback of something like $5, it's unlikely to stay down because enough participants will see that as a buying opportunity," said Victor Shum, an energy analyst with Purvin & Gertz in Singapore.
Thursday's expiration of options contracts and a temporary shutdown of ICE Futures trading in crude oil and other futures products due to a power outage also contributed to the previous session's volatility.
"So there was a lot of confusion yesterday, and not surprisingly, there was this wild, seesaw session," Shum said.
Options let investors bet oil prices will rise or fall in the future, and prices can fluctuate widely on days when options expire.
Shum said oil is still seen as a better bet than investors' other options.
"Oil as a class has performed better this year than equities and bonds, and continues to encourage investors to pile money into oil and stay in oil," Shum said.
On Thursday, oil initially climbed in the floor session as U.S. diesel fuel prices jumped 3.6 cents at the pump to a new national average of $4.455 a gallon. Diesel is used to fuel most truck, trains and ships, and is a large part of the reason prices of food and consumer goods are rising so fast.
U.S. retail gas prices, meanwhile, advanced past an average of $3.77 a gallon. At the pump, the national average price of a gallon of regular gas was $3.776 on Thursday, according to a survey of stations by AAA and the Oil Price Information Service. Prices are 67 cents higher than a year ago, and many analysts think they could rise as high as $4 on a national basis in coming weeks. Consumers in many areas are already paying that much, or more.
But as oil reached for new records, the U.S. Energy Department reported that natural gas inventories rose 93 billion cubic feet last week, more than analysts had expected, and that pulled the whole petroleum energy complex lower.
Fluctuations in the dollar have contributed as well to oil's volatility. The dollar has generally been stronger than earlier in the year, but it is waffling between 104 and 105 against the yen, while the euro seems to be range-bound between $1.54 and $1.55.
Investors have been viewing oil and other commodities as a hedge against inflation and a weaker dollar since the middle of last year, and that link has meant that oil has been tending to rise and fall inversely with the dollar.
In other Nymex trading, heating oil futures rose 5.15 cents to $3.6739 a gallon while gasoline prices added 5.64 cents to $3.222 a gallon. Natural gas futures rose 14.9 cents to $11.548 per 1,000 cubic feet.

Radio conversations say the Pgh Hilton -- downtown -- is not paying its bills. The construction crew is off the job. This is much like the other big building project on the other side of the river, the Majestic Star Slots Parlor. The workers there left their jobs a couple of weeks ago because they were not being paid.
To be fair, (giggle) the Downtown Hilton suffered with the two year closing of Point State Park for that rehab. All will be better now that the ditch in the park was filled in -- for $15-Million.
Same too with Pittsburgh's "Big Dig," the tunnel under the Allegheny River for extensio of the light rail to the North Side stadiums and slots parlor. Hey, the Gateway Center T stop is closed. Oh my. How are people expected to get to The Hilton with the T-closed?

Lo and behold, I was wearing brown pants and a green sweater, indeed in rather earthy hues.

The interesting thing about Talking Squids is that the natural history links are more interesting, sometimes more unbelievable, than the fiction. (I steal real-world biology and tweak it for fiction all the time -- "Little Faces" and NAUTILUS, for example.)
'isn't really science fiction, because science fiction is "talking squids in outer space."'
Err no, depending on your SQUID they realy are in (or on the edges) of outer space, and they are talking back to us humans because we put them there...
Before you think I have taken something to put me "in space man" the SQUID I'm talking about is a "Superconducting QUantum Interference Device" which is an incredably sensitive magnetometer (10^-14 T) which is apparently sensitive enough to detect the magnetic fields from your brain.
Originaly developed during the cold war they where used to detect the disturbances created by metalic devices (subs/mines etc) to the earths magnetic field from amongst other places aircraft.]]>
Not visually, but his species was called Mon Calamari...]]>
The talking squid in Sheffield's books are land squid, really more "squid-like" than proper squid.

Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit Premium 1.06.1.1019 Final | 3.09 MB
Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit provides the essential exploit protection with proactive technology for browsers and applications. It blocks dangerous exploit-based malware and prevents the damage it can do. Not an antivirus, but compatible with most antivirus, Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit is a small, specialized shield designed to protect you against one of the most dangerous forms of malware attacks. And its free. Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit Premium protects you from zero-day exploits targeting browser and application vulnerabilities. Its proprietary technology guards you in that critical period between the release of a new exploit and its security patch. And, unlike antivirus products, Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit Premium proactively prevents the exploit from installing its payload. Before it can do damage.
No other anti-exploit technology (including Microsoft Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit) provides three layers of protection. These layers work together to block exploits instantly, in both in the first stage of the attack, preventing shell code execution, and in the second stage, memory calls and sandbox escapes and memory mitigation bypasses.
Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit does not slow down your computer, because this technology does not use a signature database like traditional endpoint security, so it doesn't require frequent updating. And it only takes up three MBs on your hard drive the size of one large high-resolution photo.
Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit Premium operates at a different level from and independently of anti-malware and antivirus programs, so you can install it without worry.
Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit Premium Features:
Shields Java
Shields browsers and browsers add-ons (including Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera)
Shields PDF readers (including Adobe Reader, Adobe Acrobat, Foxit Reader)
Shields Microsoft Word, Excel, and Powerpoint
Shields media players (including Microsoft Windows Media Player, VLC Player, QuickTime Player, Winamp Player)

Two shows stand out of the many I have seen in my fifty four years.....Sarah Vaughn and Jerry Lee Lewis.

 I am a drummer and around '82 I opened for Jerry Lee in a 300 seat night club near detroit.From the moment he hit the stage he had complete command of the audience;simply enchanting.

 A few years later at the detroit montreux festival when it had ticketed events a friend and I went to the Sarah Vaughn concert to see our friend Earl Van Riper (a great detroit jazz pianist)open the concert with the intention of not staying for sarah vaughn. Because Harold Jones was drumming for her I asked if we could stay for a cuople songs........we were glued to our seats because she was so confident and in such command of the audience it reminded me very much of the jerry lee lewis experience

Really, Marc? "As authentic as they come"? Goodness, gracious, great balls o' somethin'. Are all-star tribute/duet albums in homage to elder musicians ever really necessary? Killer may still be killer (what, no filler?), but it'll be me bettin' that "Mean Woman Blues" cuts "Mean Old Man," that Rock and Slash sound more like "High School Coincidental," and that Mick and Keith need to scrape their shoes. And, goldarn it, I'm grousing as a serious fan of Jerry Lee, and the Stones, and most all the others recorded here.

But I grew up on real rockabilly and I promise you, the Sun and early Merc tracks leave this disc in the dust (while the later Mercury albums are as country as six nights of sin and one day of church). Yeah, there'll be a whole lotta shakin' on down the line when "Pumpin' Piano Rock" and "Lewis Boogie" leave you... uhhh, breath-less-a.

I can appreciate Jerry Lee's contributions to early rock n' roll but to say "Mean Old Man is a tremendous album that any jazz listener will love" seems like a huge stretch. How can that be possible? By anyone's estimation, including his own, Jerry Lee Lewis doesn't PLAY jazz and never has. I'm confused here, Marc.

Internet Troll: In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion. (from: Wikipedia.com)
Trolling can be a ton of fun (when you yourself play the part of troll), but for the clueless, emotional victims that fall for it, trolling can be frustrating and embarrassing.
Having done my fair share of trolling on many online venues, I find that the game of hunter vs. the hunted is skewed so far left that it really isn't fun anymore to sucker someone into a heated debate. If I drop some nonsense on Facebook about religion, politics, or Lolo Jones, I can get 100 simple people foaming at the mouth, ready to "speak their piece" in reply. Smarten up people – trolls are laughing at you!
The following guide is for people who find themselves the victim of trolling on a regular basis and still cannot figure out why it is that people online are getting the better of them in everything.
The Dragon's Guide To Troll Avoidance
So you went off on someone and your emotional response has made you the laughing stock of the conversation. You want to clarify your response but you are afraid to say more for fear of it doing further damage. People are saying that you got trolled, but you are clueless as to how they knew and you didn't… Don't feel bad, it's all about context and many people miss out on the clues that they are being suckered.
Let's analyze the situation shall we? You saw someone write something to piss you off and you just HAD to respond to put him in his place. The next time you find yourself hot over a comment use the following process to analyze your opponent before replying.
5 Checks To Avoid Getting Trolled.
If you answer "yes" to any of the questions below then that person may be a troll and you would do better to ignore them.
- Has the person ever commented before? A sniping troll is the easiest to spot…
- Is the person's comment so out of bounds that a normal person would never say it to your face?
- Will your reply provoke the ire of the entire blog/forum community?
- Are you a member of the race, sex, or sub-culture that the article or response in question is targeting?
- Will your response include a Wikipedia link or Bible verse?
Beyond the checks listed above, there are a few things you should do before going to war with what could potentially be a troll:
- Check their comment history if it's available and see if they add good insight to conversations or if they have a history of causing trouble.
- Make sure your avatar and/or username does not contain imagery that if used against you will be devastating. Trolls will use whatever info they have on you to destroy you.
- Make sure you aren't about to respond to a 2-word comment with a paragraph worth of ranting.
At the end of the day, the absolute best way to avoid trolls is to take everything with a grain of salt and avoid replying to anything instantaneously. Don't take anything seriously and if you are unable to laugh at yourself then avoid replying altogether. The only thing that defeats a troll is a lack of attention but due to the high volume of gullible, emotional people, trolling will be around as long as there's anonymity and carelessness from commenters on websites and forums.See some words or phrases that you don't understand?

A few weeks ago I suddenly felt the need to reread some of my favourite books, especially favourite romances. From time to time I get this feeling, I never know why but I always listen to my inner reading voice. That's why I reread a lot of books by Betty Neels and some by Nora Roberts in the last weeks. More books by both authors and romances by other authors will follow in the next weeks.
I'm still reading new books, however not as many as before, at least right now. This rereading phase will be over one day and then my focus will go back to my unread books, my TBR pile has gotten a bit bigger, but it's still ok, so there's no need to rush things.
I have always loved rereading books, revisiting old favourites warms my heart and makes me happy. The other readers in my family never reread books and don't get that I do, however they accept that readers have different ways to handle their reading experience, so they never make me feel weird about rereading, thank goodness that my family is full of happy readers.
Do you like to reread books?

"We're just taking one game at a time basically. One week at a time. Obviously, we have the Arizona Cardinals coming up this week and they are a very good team and we just have to put in one practice at a time starting today. We have to go out and have a good practice, worry about our jump, worry about what we have to do out on the field and just work together as a team." Read
On how much he knows about the Cardinals defense:
"They are pretty solid. They have a lot of great players at a lot of positions so very good defense. Big, fast, aggressive, and they are definitely very good." Read
On what pops about their pass rush:
"They're big. They're fast and they know how to create matches where we have to be thinking. All the blitzes, all the pressures they put on. You just have to be aware at all times because it's not just pressure coming, it's good players coming that know how to pass rush." Read
On his reaction to his alma mater beating Oklahoma State last weekend:
"It's great seeing your alma mater put up a victory over a ranked team. I'm definitely supportive of Arizona and its good seeing that." Read
On if he thinks there is a trend in this league to look to the tight end or if it's the caliber of athletes coming out of college:
"You can go both, just people looking for tight ends more, to use them in the run game, in the passing game more and also the players coming out now. I feel like, absolutely, tight ends are more of athletes now. They can go out, run, and catch a ball and everything. It's basically overall teams are looking for tight ends and they are coming out of college now ready to go." Read
On if he was surprised by the level of success he had last season:
"Yes, definitely." Read
On what surprised him about his success:
"That was all last year. I'm just really focused on this year and how well I can do this year. It's a whole new year. Everything that happened last year doesn't matter anymore. It's a new season, a new focus, and we have the Arizona Cardinals this week and that's all I'm really worried about. I'm not worried about anything from last year." Read
On if the Cardinals remind him of the Steelers when they prepare for them:
"Yes, definitely. They have a couple of coaches coming from the Steelers and everything and the head coach too came from the Steelers. They kind of have a defense a little bit like that and we have to be ready because they are both good defenses." Read
On what specific similarities he sees between the Cardinals and the Steelers:
"It's kind of the same: same front, same base, a couple of the same blitzes. You just have to prepared for anything and everything at all times." Read
On how picking up Brandon Lloyd is going to help the offense:
"He's a great player and I love playing with him. He's a great teammate. Just having players like him, Wes Welker, and Aaron Hernandez around us is always good. It always benefits. You just can't look at one person at a time in our offense. You have to watch everyone because we have great players all around I think." Read

I believe there was a prohibition to being married during Lent.

I was going to try a dye pattern or something. Why is Muslin so popular if it is so thin you can see what is behind it? I'm mobile alot of the time and can't always setup the background against a clean wall. I started draping a Black Muslin behind whatever other one I was using to make it thicker.

Fox Searchlight
The Golden Globes has always been something of a mystery - its members are the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, a shadowy group that insiders say are more interested in movie stars showing up to their parties than, you know, quality filmmaking. And the awards themselves have always made little sense, at least when it comes to the larger peer groups or critical community (remember, Madonna was nominated for "Evita" for crying out loud).
Still, they remain an integral part of the awards season gold derby, and still act as an important precursor to the Oscar nominations in just a few short weeks. Plus, the lack of pomp and circumstance make for easily the most entertaining awards show of the season, with a bunch of movie stars and creative types sitting around in tuxedos drinking heavily and, with any luck, saying something inappropriate when they finally make their way on stage.
This morning, the nominees were announced for the 71st annual Golden Globe awards and we were there. Well. Not there there, but watching the live stream on our computers. You can read them below.
"12 Years a Slave" and "American Hustle" lead the nominees, which isn't much of a surprise, and, as always, the littler nominees are where you can find the most delight, like seeing Julie Delpy nominated for "Before Midnight" or Greta Gerwig nominated for "Frances Ha," two amazing performances that won't even be in the running for the Oscars. Ah, the Golden Globes. You are wacky and you are great.
Also, I know it was early, but could Olivia Wilde not have combed her hair?

An article on MLB.com quotes an unnamed scout as saying the Angels are the best team in the majors right now. They've won 18 out of their last 24. The anemic offense they showed in April, when the A's beat them four out of six, has greatly improved. The pitching remains strong.
All the better that the A's won't play them again until July 23 –over the years, the way to win those inevitable one-run battles has been to have the deeper bullpen. Huston Street needs to be back at closer, with Alan Embree pushed back to the main setup role along with the surprising Santiago Casilla.

What does wolverhampton mean?
Definitions for wolverhamptonˈwʊl vərˌhæmp tən
Here are all the possible meanings and translations of the word wolverhampton.
A city in the West Midlands of England.
Origin: From Wulfrūnehēantūn named after Lady Wulfruna, who founded the town.
Wolverhampton is a city and metropolitan borough in the West Midlands, England. In the 2011 census, the local government district had population of 249,470. Wolverhampton's urban population at the time of the 2001 census was given as 251,462, and was the second largest component of the West Midlands Urban Area which makes it part of the second largest urban area in the United Kingdom. By this reckoning it is the 12th largest city in England outside London. For Eurostat purposes Wolverhampton is a NUTS 3 region. People from Wolverhampton are known as Wulfrunians. Historically a part of Staffordshire, and forming part of the metropolitan county of the West Midlands from 1974, the city is commonly recognised as being named after Lady Wulfrun, who founded the town in 985: its name coming from Anglo-Saxon Wulfrūnehēantūn = "Wulfrūn's high or principal enclosure or farm". Prior to the Norman Conquest, the area's name appears only as variants of Heantune or Hamtun, the prefix Wulfrun or similar appearing in 1070 and thereafter. Alternatively, the city may have earned its original name from Wulfereēantūn = "Wulfhere's high or principal enclosure or farm" after the Mercian King, who tradition tells us established an abbey in 659, though no evidence of an abbey has been found.
The Nuttall Encyclopedia
a town in Staffordshire, 12½ m. NW. of Birmingham, in the midst of coal and iron fields; the centre of a group of towns engaged in different kinds of iron manufacture, locks and keys the staple, and the metropolis of the Black Country.

The Corriere dello Sport is suggesting that Juventus are closing in on Michel Bastos of Lyon.
The left-sided player has been tracked for the last 12 months by the Old Lady and a deal may finally be on the horizon.
The rule change that will now allow Italian clubs to sign two non-EU players has apparently opened the door for Juve to make their move.
It's understood that the Bianconeri will make the French club an offer of €12m for the Brazilian international.
Lyon are hoping to get around €16m for the 28-year-old.
Juventus are looking for midfield width following the appointment of boss Antonio Conte and his 4-4-2/4-2-4 system.

Starting today, Colorado will become the first state to begin allowing the sale of marijuana to anyone over the age of 21. Recreational use has been legal in the state for about a year now, but today the plant will be officially available at stores with special liscenses. And, where there's a crop, and retail stores to sell that crop, there's a tracking system -- as in RFID tags. Not an alien concept to the world of retail. Some of these tags have a strap that you can attach to the plant. Each plant gets tagged, each tag has a number, and each number goes into an large online database. The Marijuana Inventory Tracking Solution or as Julie Postlethwait, an officer with Colorado's Marijuana Enforcement Division, calls it, MITS.

Spring didnt bring its usual light-heartedness or harmony to the University of California at Irvine (UCI) in 2006. Instead, the Muslim Student Union (MSU) darkened the atmosphere with a series of events that fostered prejudice, ignorance and ill-will in the campus community. The week-long program, menacingly entitled "Holocaust in the Holy Land," did not promote education, dialogue or understanding. Rather, its sole purpose was to demonize Israel and Jews.
This was not a singular occurrence. Over the past few years, the MSU has regularly sponsored similar programs even though Jewish student groups repeatedly pleaded with the MSU to invite more moderate speakers and to engage in dialogue instead of offensive propaganda that only polarized students. The UCI administration also remained strangely deaf to Jewish groups concerns, claiming "free speech" trumped all else despite the fact that in the months prior to the MSU event the administration had been more attentive because Jewish organizations engaged them in dialogue and organized conferences.
This past spring, however, the Jewish groups requests again were ignored and the events went on as scheduled. The result was a week-long assault against Israel and Jews that was blatantly anti-Semitic and even glorified violence and terrorism.
Jewish community organizations mobilized to support students and faculty who were deeply disturbed by the planned program. Along with the American Jewish Congress, Hillel and the Zionist Organization of America, StandWithUs staff spent every day on the campus engaging students in dialogue and providing sound- bite signs.
The week kicked off with agitprop. The MSU set up an "apartheid wall" in the center of campus which was so large that the administration had to call the fire department to make sure that its size was within legal limits. Two Arab students dressed like IDF soldiers "guarded" the "wall" and pretended to harass passers-by to reenact the experience of Palestinians. The wall was plastered with propagandistic photos. In one, an IDF soldier menacingly pointed his gun at a womans head; in another, monstrously large IDF soldiers dragged Palestinian children away. The message was that Israel is a brutal power; the Palestinian victims are innocent children and women. The "wall" stayed up the entire week.
The four speakers that were the centerpiece of the program are so extreme that they have even been marginalized by the communities they purportedly represent. Ironically, the Muslim speakers promoted the worst stereotypes of Muslims.
The American born Imam Muhammed Al-Asi, who spoke on "Hamas: The Peoples Choice,"was removed as Imam of the Washington DC Islamic Center in 1981 at the request of Saudi Arabia, Egypt and other Middle Eastern governments because of his pro-Khomeini rhetoric. Saudi Arabia barred him from making the hajj to Mecca.He is notorious for anti-Semitic comments, such as "You can take the Jew out of the ghetto but you cannot take the ghetto out of the Jew," and for claiming that Nazi anti-Semitism was justifiable. He is closely associated with Ahmed Huber, the neo-Nazi Swiss convert to Islam who praised Iranian dictator Ayatollah Khomeini as the "living continuation of Adolf Hitler." He has voiced support for an "Islamic World Order," endorsed Khomeinis fatwa against author Salman Rushdie and claimed that the 9/11 terrorist attacks were actually carried out by Israeli Mossad agents who infiltrated Afghanistan in order to "criminalize Muslims." Yet the MSU believes he is a respectable speaker and that UCI students could be enlightened by listening to his diatribes.
The MSU also invited Rabbi David Weiss, touting him as a clear-headed Jew brave enough to speak out against the charge that anti-Zionists are anti-Semites. In reality, Rabbi Weiss, whose speech was "Zionism Hijacking Judaism," belongs to a fringe, ultra-Orthodox group called Neturei Karta, which has been at the forefront of those intensely opposed to Zionism. Its members believe that God punished the Jews with exile for their sins and that a Jewish state cannot be reestablished until God redeems them and the Messianic Age begins. They consequently view Zionism and Israel as sinful departures from Judaism and call for dismantling the Jewish state. They indulge in the kind of libel typical of fanatical anti-Zionists. Rabbi Weiss has charged that "Israel kills people to harvest and sell their body parts." His group, which has received funding from the Palestinian Authority, was vehemently condemned by the Jewish Orthodox and Hassidic communities in 2002 and has been barred from their synagogues and communities for decades.
The third guest was also a notorious anti-Zionist and historical revisionist Jew, Dr. Norman Finkelstein, whose work has been denounced by scholars and reviewers for being "the hate campaign of a zealot," for "indifference to historical facts" and for being nothing more than "an anti-Semitic lampoon."He charges that a cabal of corrupt Jewish elites began to exploit the Holocaust after 1967, turning it into an industry to "shake down" undeserved money from Europe and to provide justification for Israels "illegal occupation" of the territories by painting Jews as perpetual victims. He has charged that Jews have brought anti-Semitism on themselves, in part by creating this industry. He has also praised Hizbollah. A professor at DePaul University, he has been unable to get tenure at any university, including Princeton, where he trained for his PhD. Finkelsteins mentor, Noam Chomsky, remarked that he
literally could not get the faculty to read his thesis or to come to his thesis defense ... [and] they will not even write a letter for him saying that he was a student.
The final speaker, Imam Abdel Malik Ali, is a firebrand rhetorician who uses street slang to vilify Jews and to rouse his audiences to fight for the victory of Islam in America. He has voiced support for "implementing Islam as a totality" in which "Allah controls every place—the home, the classroom, the science lab, the halls of Congress." Notorious for such anti-Semitic comments as "The Zionists control the media, and the Zionists have spied in your classrooms,"Malik Ali and others who shared the podium at a 2004 Berkeley Muslim Students Association event shocked and embarrassed many Muslim students, according to the East Bay Express.
In the spring of 2006, the MSU had an opportunity to promote dialogue between two polarized groups and also to help teach understanding of Islam, a religion they complain is often misunderstood. They squandered this opportunity. Instead, "Holocaust in the Holy Land" promoted extreme anti-Semitic prejudices and re-enforced damaging stereotypes of Muslims.
It is not clear that the MSU recognized their program was frankly racist and counter-productive, damaging both Muslims and Jews.
Such programs pose a serious problem on many campuses. These speakers represent the ugliest, most irrational element in todays political debates. Campus administrators have a responsibility to distance themselves from the misinformation and prejudice. Otherwise, universities give tacit approval to hate-mongering and fail to fulfill their mission to educate the next generation.
Hopefully in the future, UC Irvines administration and student groups will work together to teach the difference between free speech and hate speech, and to encourage programs that promote understanding, tolerance and responsibility.

Interruption Of Payment Processing
Point-of-sale system breaches are gaining attention following the Target breach. However, financially motivated cybercriminals are increasingly targeting e-commerce systems, according to Trustwave and other companies analyzing credit card breaches. Trustwave advises keeping services up to date, adding that administrators should immediately investigate a disrupted payment gateway, restore the gateway to its original configuration and verify that no code has been added to the shopping cart software.

Join us for the 14th edition of the Interspeech Conference in Lyon, 25-29 August 2013.
Experience the largest international event in the field of speech communication sciences, in a wonderful venue and area at the heart of Europe.
Discover special features of the Interspeech 2013 edition :
|More on special features
Dear colleagues,
Bienvenue à tous !
It is an immense honor and a great pleasure for us to welcome you to Lyon, France, for the 2013 edition of INTERSPEECH, the world's largest and most comprehensive conference on Spoken Language Processing science and technology.
Speech is a fundamental human activity : it runs across biology, medicine, psychology, sociology, anthropology and ecology. It is central to the organization and the development of human health, personality and intelligence. It is also essential to the synergy within human groups and their relationship with their environment.
Quite naturally, linguistics and engineering sciences play a central role in the scientific and technological areas covered by the conference : speech production and perception, phonetics and phonology, speech analysis and synthesis, automatic speech and speaker recognition, etc…
But many other disciplines provide additional viewpoints to speech as the keystone of communication, cognition and interaction in human societies and play an important part in research progress on topics such as spoken language acquisition, speech and hearing disorders, speech in multimodal dialog interfaces, spoken information mining and retrieval, etc… The conference thus promotes an interdisciplinary approach covering all aspects of speech science and technology, ranging from fundamental contributions to practical applications, in a wide variety of areas and dimensions.
INTERSPEECH conferences are held under the umbrella of ISCA (the International Speech Communication Association). A few years ago, a strong desire emerged from members of AFCP (Association Francophone de la Communication Parlée, the French-speaking regional branch of ISCA), to prepare and host a future edition of INTERSPEECH in France.
Lyon was favored, given the leading scientific and economic activity in the city and around (Grenoble, Geneva, Paris, Aix-en-Provence, Avignon, …), especially in the fields of health and humanities, and the existence of a remarkable infra-structure for large conferences : the Lyon Convention Centre. In accordance with the local scientific specificities, the special focus of the conference was defined as : "Speech in Life Sciences and Human Societies".
Since the approval of the project by ISCA, the perspective of hosting INTERSPEECH 2013 has created wide enthusiasm within the French and French-speaking community (and sometimes even beyond) and many energies have converged towards the project, leading to the following partnership :
- INRIA (Institut National de Recherche en Informatique et Automatique), a government funded research institution, acting as the general coordinator and financial back-up of the conference, and providing invaluable administrative human support and experience from various services (event organization, financial department, legal matters, computer equipment, logistics, …)
- The University of Lyon as the local organizer, who has been closely monitoring the on-site implementation of the logistics, actively promoting the conference to the local authorities and industrial partners and efficiently liaising with other regional institutions.
- AFCP who has provided the bulk of the Organizing Committee by involving members from a wide range of laboratories and universities across France and the French-speaking community.
- Europa Organisation, the PCO of the conference, who has been in charge of key logistic tasks such as registration, information and contact with participants, website updating, etc…
- A team of approximately 50 volunteers, who have accepted to dedicate some of their time to help on site throughout the conference to ensure a smooth progress for each step of the event.
INTERSPEECH 2013 will consist of 4 plenary talks by internationally renowned experts, 50 regular oral sessions, 9 special sessions (3 single and 3 double), 30 poster sessions, 3 show & tell sessions, 6 tutorials, an exhibition, and no less than 13 satellite workshops. By its expected number of attendees, this year's conference is bound to be a record-breaking edition. And we would like to thank our public and industrial sponsors for their generous support to the event.
But organizing INTERSPEECH in 2013 in France is also some sort of return to one's roots for the speech research community : the first edition of the EUROSPEECH conference was held in Paris (France), under the umbrella of ESCA (the European Speech Communication Association), in 1989, about one year after the association was created, and its statutes deposited in Grenoble, only 100 km away from Lyon, 25 years ago.
Since then, ESCA has become ISCA, EUROSPEECH and ICSLP conferences have merged into the yearly series of INTERSPEECH conferences, which regularly attracts 1200 or more international participants from various scientific backgrounds : the definite proof of a lively community and a wonderful success to celebrate together this year, through ISCA's silver jubilee.
We do hope that you will enjoy a fruitful and productive conference and that your stay in Lyon will be the opportunity to positively experience many aspects of the French way of life.

Cécile Fougeron, François Pellegrino - Co-Chairs

Threlfall-Holmes, M. (2005) 'Monks and markets : Durham Cathedral Priory, 1460-1520.', Oxford: Oxford University Press.
The institutions of the middle ages are generally seen as tradition-bound; Monks and Markets challenges this assumption. Durham's outstanding archive has allowed the uncovering of an unprecedented level of detail about the purchasing strategies of one of England's foremost monasteries, and it is revealed that the monks were indeed reflective, responsive, and innovative when required. If this is true of a large Benedictine monastery, it is likely to be true also for the vast majority of other households and institutions in Medieval England for which comparable evidence does not exist. Furthermore, this study gives a unique insight into the nature of medieval consumer behaviour, which throughout history, and particularly from before the early modern period, remains a relatively neglected subject. Chapters are devoted to the diet of monks, the factors influencing their purchasing decisions, their use of the market and their exploitaiton of tenurial relationships, and their suppliers.

Mt. Hosmer Lookout and Park
A spectacular panoramic view of fifty miles of the beautiful Mississippi River valley rewards visitors who take the sidetrip up the 104-acre Mount Hosmer City Park, situated on a bluff 450 feet above the town of Lansing. The park is named for Harriet Hosmer, a sculptress, who won a footrace to the summit of the hill during a steamboat layover during the 1850s. Savor the natural splendor of Iowa and neighboring Wisconsin and Minnesota from this scenic overlook. To access the park, drive west on Lansing's Main Street and make a left on 6th Street and continue up.
Once you arrive at the park, you will find water fountains, BBQ stations as well as a large pavilion. If you walk the perimeter you will find signs that denote walking trails and in the front of the park facing The River, you will find telescopes and panoramic views (photos courtesy of Dan Moy).

Management Executive Programs Reach Out to the Region
Posted: March 5, 2008 at 1:00 am, Last Updated: November 30, -0001 at 12:00 am
"Fundamental research is important, but it is also important to translate and transmit that research to those in the business community who can benefit from the knowledge we create," says Roy Hinton, associate dean of Executive Programs.
So far, the Executive Programs team has developed three kinds of educational offerings they are preparing to roll out in the 2008–09 academic year.
According to Hinton, demographics indicate that the large number of baby boomers retiring could lead to a significant shortage of experienced leaders ready to step forward and fill the vacancies. The normal reaction to such a deficit is to develop new leaders more quickly.
"We know from experience and research that moving too fast is the biggest cause of leader failure," he says.
To get ahead of this trend, one of the programs being developed is called Leading through the Turns, a four-month noncredit leader development program designed for the working professional who is ready to make a change. Targeted to each position in the leader hierarchy, or leader turns, this program will efficiently deliver the most critical business knowledge and develop the most-needed leadership skills to get an executive to maximum effectiveness in the shortest time possible.
For business leaders looking for some specific short-term professional development, the Executive Programs team is developing a program called On the Leading Edge. This program features one- or two-day executive seminars that focus on timely issues or emergent topics in business or the region. They focus on helping those already in leadership roles keep their skills sharp and stay a step ahead of their competitors.
Hinton and his team have two such seminars planned for spring 2008: "Managing across the Generations" and "Capitalizing on Spatial Business Intelligence." Working with Hinton on these short courses is Sergei Andronikov, the former director of Mason's Geographic Information Science (GIS) Center of Excellence and a recent EMBA graduate.
"Sergei's knowledge regarding how to make better decisions across various functional areas of business using GIS is an example of an emerging, leading-edge school of thought that can help leaders stay fresh and possibly get ahead of their competitors," Hinton says.
Members of Hinton's Executive Education group are also working with each department within the School of Management to design specific programs for working professionals. These programs will translate the latest research from Mason's business scholars into practical advice for those in the field. For example, one seminar currently in the works with the management faculty develops a more rigorous approach to building teams in the workplace.
"[These programs should] really enhance the connectivity between our faculty and the regional business community…and help bridge the knowledge gap," says Hinton.
The Executive Program team is located at the Center for Innovative Technology in Herndon, Va., where many of the classes will be held.
"We are working hard to understand the needs of our regional business partners, and we are translating that into best-in-class educational offerings," Hinton says.

Yes, it is hard to resist all the cuteness that comes with small kittens and puppies, but a lot of work comes with owning and training younger animals. In animal shelter settings, senior pets get overlooked all the time, but these animals are just as deserving and sometimes do even better in a home than some of their younger counterparts. In honor of November being Adopt a Senior Pet Month, here are just a few reasons why you should consider giving an older pet a forever home.
Most dogs aren't scared of getting a little dirty, especially if you have a pet that likes to roll around in the mud while outside playing. With their naturally adventurous and curious spirit your dogs are going to get into something dirty or smelly and you will inevitably need to bathe them. Here are a few tips to make bath time as easy as you can for both you and your pet.
Deciding to add a new pet to your household can be an exciting and life-changing time for your family. With many avenues out there for finding pets, I hope adopting a pet from a shelter or humane society is at the top of your list.
We all know the basic needs of our pets such as clean water, food, medical care and of course lots of love, but there are other needs that our pets have that you may be overlooking. To give your pet the fullest and happiest life, they need exercise of both the body and mind. Here are a few things you can do to keep your pets healthy and happy.
As we enter into what is commonly referred to as the Dog Days of Summer, it is always important to make sure you are doing everything you can to keep your pets safe in the heat. Long exposure to rising temperatures can cause some severe problems to your pet including heat stroke and even death. To make sure you are watching your pet, follow these simple tips to beat the heat and keep your critters cool.

Balagula Theatre at Natasha's Bistro and Bar has announced its 2012-13 season. It opens with a play that has some intriguing local connections.
The Kentucky premiere of Tracy Letts' Bug plays Sept 9 to 12 and 16 to 19. The original productions of the play in London, Chicago and Off-Broadway in New York featured one-time Lexington resident Michael Shannon as Peter Evans, a Gulf War veteran who draws a lonely cocktail waitress into his deepening and destructive paranoia. The 2006 film version paired Shannon with fellow Kentuckian Ashley Judd as Agnes, the waitress. The film was a commercial failure, many believe because it was marketed as a horror film that ultimately didn't offer much traditional horror. Letts went on to write the Tony Award- and Pulitzer Prize-winning drama August, Osage County, which has been presented twice in Lexington in the past year.
The rest of the season is …
Mrs. Klein by Nicholas Wright, Oct. 21 to 26, 29 and 30. Another Kentucky premiere, this 1995 play portrays child psychologist Melanie Klein whose devotion to her work threatens those closest to her. Directed by Ryan Case.
Don Juan on Trial by Eric Emmanuel Schmitt, Dec 9 to 12 and 16 to 19. This play, the third Kentucky premiere of the season, looks at the legendary lover and issues of gender and tolerance. It marked the star of Schmitt's celebrated career. Directed by Natasha Williams.
The Goat, or Who is Sylvia? by Edward Albee, Feb. 10 to 13 and 17 to 20. A middle-aged architect falls in love with a goat in Albee's play that explores the limits of liberal mores and tolerance. Directed by Bo List.
The Trial of God (as it was held on Feb. 25, 1649, in Shamgorod) by Elie Wiesel, April 14 to 17 and 21 to 24. A dramatization, in a distinctly Yiddish style, of the actual trial that was held in the German concentration camp of Auschwitz during World War II. Directed by Natasha Williams.
A limited number of season tickets are on sale for $75 each. Call (859) 621-8694 if you prefer to purchase by phone.

Her admission came on Thursday as she attended a press conference in New Orleans ahead of her Super Bowl half-time spectacular on Sunday where, she insists, she will be singing live. Clearly knowing she would be quizzed over the lip-synching controversy by the packed room of journalists, Beyonce first addressed the matter by singing another rendition of The Star Spangled Banner- this one a live, unaccompanied, a cappella. The floor was then opened to questions, where Beyonce explained how she wanted her performance for President Barack Obama to be a memorable one - and called the day 'emotional'.
Beyonce, wearing a very short white dress with open back, said: 'I am a perfectionist, I will practise until my feet bleed but I didn't get a chance. 'The inauguration was about the president I wanted to make him and the country proud. I decided to sing along with my pre-recorded track which is something that is common in the music industry. 'I always sing live, the inauguration was unfortunately a time when I didn't have time to rehearse with the the orchestra because I was rehearsing for the Super Bowl.
'I'm very proud of my performance,' she added. Speaking about the Super Bowl, she continued: 'I will absolutely be singing live, I am well-rehearsed. This is what I am born for. 'I've had a 16 year career and everything I've done has prepared me for this, I'm ready.

Giuliani has advice for S.F. on dealing with the homeless
Published 4:00 am, Tuesday, December 11, 2007
Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani - who touts the cleanup of his city's chronic homeless problem as a key accomplishment in his administration - had some tough-love advice for San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom Monday, saying cities cannot encourage the impression that the homeless "have the right to live on the street."
"The correct, loving, caring social policy is to engage, not ignore ... to discourage, not encourage," the GOP presidential candidate said in an interview with The Chronicle on Monday during a campaign stop in San Francisco. "We would tell them, you can't live on the street; you're not allowed to."

"If you need help finding something, we're here to help ... the one thing we're not going to allow is just to live on the street," he said. "That isn't a good right. It's not good for them. It's not good for the city ... it means they are crying out for help, and it should not be ignored."
The advice from Giuliani, widely regarded as a mayor who made major strides in addressing New York's persistent homeless problem, was greeted with a pointed reaction from Newsom's office. The efforts of the Democratic mayor, who has endorsed Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton for president, to end chronic homelessness have included programs like "Care Not Cash." "Let's be frank," said Newsom spokesman Nathan Ballard Monday. "Mayor Giuliani had to be forced by a court order to provide enough beds for the homeless people he was arresting. Mayor Newsom takes a more compassionate approach that connects homeless individuals with ... the services they need to get back on their feet."
Giuliani also was asked what, as president, he would do to cities like San Francisco, which the Board of Supervisors designated a "sanctuary city" in 1989; Newsom has said that as a "city of refuge," San Francisco will not cooperate with any attempt to round up illegal immigrants.
"The answer to illegal immigration is to stop it at the border," Giuliani said. "You don't allow more illegals to come in and you set up a sensible identification system, and then you can deal with cities ... that aren't doing what they're supposed to be doing in a sensible way."
"A city should have to turn in the names of people who commit crimes who are illegal," Giuliani said. "But if they have to make some exceptions to that, because of children who go to schools or crimes that have to be reported, or because of people who need emergency health treatment ... I understand that," he said. "That wasn't a policy I created ... but I agree with it completely."
"I don't consider it a sanctuary city," he said. "I consider that a city that is just dealing with reality. A sanctuary city, to me, is a city that is not turning in illegals who commit crimes ... unless there is an overriding issue of public safety."
Giuliani's comments came during a whirlwind day of campaigning and fundraising around the Bay Area. The former mayor was greeted by supporters at a fundraiser in Menlo Park, at the Italian American Social Club in North Beach - where 175 turned out to salute him - and at an exclusive luncheon fundraiser at the Banker's Club, where about 50 heard his assessment of the race and the issues. But even in a state where he has a strong, double-digit lead in the polls, Giuliani was dogged by some of his own political baggage. He was asked at Mel's Drive-in, a stop that was supposed to be an upbeat meet-and-greet, about a topic that has dominated his campaign news in past weeks: his administration's accounting of taxpayer-funded security expenses for trips to Long Island at a time when he was beginning an extramarital affair with his current wife, Judith Nathan.
Politico.com broke a story last month that detailed how a Freedom of Information Act request revealed tens of thousands of dollars in security expenses related to the trips, much of it billed to obscure city agencies like those dealing with loft permits and the services for disabled.
Giuliani told reporters Monday that city officials have found "this was a bookkeeping practice that was done for several years ... the Police Department of the city of New York paid for all of it, and it was appropriate," he said. And he suggested that the billing to different agencies meant that citizens actually had more access to them: In the current system, "these accounts were discoverable. If these had been paid directly by the Police Department, it never would have been discovered, because they are exempt from Freedom of Information," he said.
Pressed on the issue, Giuliani insisted, "Every single bit of it (the billing) was because of threats ... all this security was justified and was decided upon by the New York City Police Department, not by me."
The questions - a day after an hour-long televised grilling of the candidate on NBC's "Meet the Press" - led some observers to say that the persistent personal and business questions about Giuliani's past suggest even more volatility in the GOP race.
"Rudy Giuliani has temporarily hit a wall; (former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt) Romney has hit a wall, and now the race seems to be even more undecided," said GOP strategist Patrick Dorinson Monday. "Any time a candidate is spending more time responding to charges than putting forth a positive message, he's in trouble."
Dorinson said that Giuliani's recent troubles show "presidential politics is like college football ... it doesn't matter where you are ranked in the beginning or the middle of the season; it only matters where you finish."
But former U.S. Attorney Joseph Russoniello, who introduced Giuliani at the Italian American Social Club in North Beach, said the candidate was greeted with enthusiasm Monday and showcased strengths that Republicans are seeking in the current contest.
"He has the charisma, the leadership, the intelligence" and the ability to work across the aisle to get things done, Russoniello said. "These issues have been raised, and they need to be, and he has answered them. ... I don't think there was anything that any of us heard that could be a disqualifier."
Still, recent stories might have had an impact on the standings of the former New York mayor. Once the undisputed Republican front-runner, he has suffered a slide as he faced new competition from the increasingly strong candidacy of former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee. While recent polls still show him leading national polls, in crucial Iowa and New Hampshire, Giuliani now ranks in third place behind Huckabee and Romney, and he has said publicly that California's 173 GOP delegates in the Feb. 5 primary - which are awarded by congressional district - will be crucial to his cause.
Giuliani, in Mel's Drive-in, appeared relaxed and upbeat about his chances in the nation's most populous state.
"I want to remind the people of California ... that this is an early primary state," he told diners after signing autographs and sitting in booths with some surprised patrons. "It's new, and very important. ... So you're going to have a very big role ... and this is a state that I believe has always seen the need for bold leadership."
Giuliani called for President Bush to reduce the corporate tax from the current 35 percent to 25 percent, a suggestion that was met with applause from the diners, many of them wearing "Rudy" buttons.
"That would leave more money in your pocket," he said, saying it would "go a long away" to help California because the money "would stay here with businesses in California."
Rudy Giuliani: in his own words
Comments by Republican GOP presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani in an interview with The Chronicle on Monday:
-- Asked whether his recent problems, including accounting issues, questions about his past business and personal relationships have created doubts about his viability as a GOP candidate: "Anybody's career (that has) been as varied and as long and as intense as mine, there are going to be several mistakes that have been made ... but you've got to balance that against the results that I've got."
-- On concerns that his marriages, public divorce and infidelities present a question of values and loyalty to some GOP voters: "The question was, was I loyal to the people of New York City? Judging what's going on in people's personal life is usually very hard to do accurately from the outside. Because nobody knows all the different things that happened inside somebody's personal life. When you have public performance, you can judge it on that."
"If I was somebody unknown, that might be an issue. But all during the time that I went through any of the issues you're talking about, I was in a highly public position. The question is, did it in any way distract from ... my trying to carry out the promises I made to the people? And I think the answer is, it didn't."
-- Asked specifically whether he had any regrets about his conduct in those matters: "Of course, I have regrets. I have regrets about a lot of things. ... A lot of things I did wrong and (there were) a lot of mistakes that I made ... but I've tried to learn from them, and improve... constantly. I've had my own things that I've had to deal with, grow from and express apologies for. ... We're human beings, and we make mistakes."
