FOOTNOTES * Many people have a secret desire to try their hand at the performing arts. This desire was satisfied by four Cleveland Office luminaries who made their professional debut as supernumeraries in the Metropolitan Opera's travelling production of Verdi's "Aida" on May l, 1965, before 7,000 cheering opera lovers in Cleveland's Public Auditorium. Our correspondents, Bill Miller and Frank Otto, reported as follows. Two hours before curtain time Peter Dye, Otto, Pete Ruma and Miller (in photo, left to right) were assigned roles that matched costumes with physiques. Three passed the rigid army physical and were inducted into the Egyptian infantry. One flunked the physical (costume too small), but ideally filled the flowing sarong of an Ethiopian prisoner. With bright costumes, flashing weapons and gobs of tip-to-toe make-up, eveiy vestige of the reasonably intelligent, conservative CPA completely disappeared. Rehearsal was a brief interlude of organized mayhem among the ropes, pulleys, props and stretching ballet dancers that dominated the stage between the acts. Unfortunately eye glasses were forbidden to Pharoah's subjects, so some of the supers had to learn their parts by touch more than by sight. One colleague reported that you can get into an awful lot of trouble by touching a pirouetting ballet dancer. The big moment was cued by brazen trumpets heralding the triumphant strains of the Grand March; soldiers, prisoners, slaves, and dancing girls paraded past center stage. Cleveland's own demonstrated their typical ingenuity by securing positions front-and-center, close to the principal singers and in full view of the audience. The temptation to join in the singing was almost irresistible but not a note escaped their lips—an instruction of the stage manager that did much to insure the quality of the performance. Twenty minutes of spectacular acting, one curtain call to a standing ovation, and the job was done. After scrubbing off make-up and donning street clothes the supers were allowed to roam back stage and watch the remainder of the opera from vantage points in the wings or from amid the scenery. The established fee of $1.00 per man (net of taxes) was paid promptly upon turning in the costume. Fame was short lived. Some envious non-performer inscribed beneath the photograph on the office bulletin board: "What four guys won't do for a buck." * A sign over the door of a much-used room at Cal Tech's Jet Propulsion Laboratory says "Decision Revision Division." * As the late spring twilight settled over • / Wall Street one evening last May, the excursion boat Alexander Hamilton gave three blasts on the whistle and slipped away from Pier 81 Hudson River for a moonlight sail. On board were more than 600 New York Office people and their guests, eager for the start of the 1965 Boat Ride. Frank Ascher has provided the following report of the voyage. Two hours before sailing, an advance boarding party had inspected the boat and provisions to be sure that all our food, beverages and ice had come aboard. Name tags which had been printed a week before were spread alphabetically over two huge tables awaiting the stampede: it seems that the majority of people always manage to arrive at the same time. Some didn't, however. Sad to report, one of our newer assistant accountants and his wife were caught in a traffic jam. They spent one hour behind a stalled truck on 36th Street and arrived ten minutes after the boat had left the pier. We found out later that it cost him a bundle to take his wife to dinner. Others couldn't attend because of week-end Reserve meetings. Some of them had even asked us to write to commanding officers for permission to attend an "official firm function." 27

Two days and counting, my new Surface will arrive. As an avid gadget guy, I'm pumped about this launch with Windows 8.
Could this be the breakthrough consumer product that competes with the iPad? Maybe.
Here's why:
1. There's the USB port, which I plan on using with external drives, scanners, and the like.
2. A microSD slot which also allows me to add additional memory and download photos from my camera that uses microSD (really nice when traveling).
3. It comes with all the productivity tools like Powerpoint and Excel.
4. A seamless experience with my Xbox. It also allows me to remote desktop to my work computers. All of which I cannot do with any of my current tablets.
5. And, it's just under 1.5 pounds. (This figure has been corrected).
That's a tremendous amount of promise. If it can deliver, I may be using the Surface as my go-to tablet.
I also have a very short attention span.
If I can't figure out a strong use case for that device quickly, it'll end up becoming an expensive doorstop.
The iPad/iPhone/Apple TV combo has been by far the most compelling ecosystem for me. That's followed by the Nexus 7/Nexus Phone/Google TV. If the Surface/Xbox combo works extremely well, I could very well be on the path to Windows Phone 8 and to the Microsoft ecosystem.
Microsoft is taking a huge leap here, building devices that compete directly with their distribution partners or OEMs. Bravo for doing it.
It takes courage, and sets the bar high for its partners, consumers, and its competitors.
I'm looking forward to seeing how this fight turns out — Apple vs. Google vs. Microsoft. And I can't wait to get my hands on the Surface to see if it's the real deal.
Let me know what you think.

Photographer Mike Brodie spent 6 years riding the rails
Among things you don't expect to find in a diesel mechanic's tool drawer are copies of his own book of portrait photography. Only when the other mechanics are not around will Mike Brodie pull out an unopened copy of "Mike Brodie: A Period of Juvenile Prosperity," slice the shrink wrap with a greasy thumb nail and revisit the six years he spent riding the rails with the hoboes.
It's not the drifting way of life that Brodie, 28, is shy about. It's the fame and recognition. If you want to talk about his work in the collection of SFMOMA, or the gallery shows in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco, or the reason why he quit photography altogether, he'll meet you at his shop in West Oakland at 8 a.m., because the other guys don't get there until 9.
"I've admitted to being an artist," says Brodie, who pulls his dirty cap low and hangs his head as if admitting to a crime. "I never really felt like an actual photographer. I still don't know how to develop film or use a darkroom. I don't know what goes on inside a camera. I know it clicks."
But he'll perk right up when the topic is switched.
"I like talking about train-riding and stories," he says, and his first one is a good one. It starts in 2003, when he dropped out of high school in Pensacola, Fla., and hopped a freight just to see how far he could get, which was not very. He planned to visit a friend in Alabama but got turned around in a switching yard and ended up back where he started.
All he had to show for his three-day journey were five Polaroid prints he'd taken with a fold-up SX-70 that a friend had given him. He threw those five images into a drawer at his mom's house and went back to the tracks, the clunky fold-up camera wrapped in a sweater. That was the beginning for this bindle stiff, who came to be known as "the Polaroid Kidd," scrawling out that handle on walls and bridges and boxcars.
He was self-taught as a photographer and self-taught as an editor. The images printed instantly, and he'd weed them out while still in transit.
"Most of them sucked," he says. "I'd say, 'Oh, that's a good one,' either the light or whatever. I wasn't sure what I was trying to document."
The end for the Polaroid Kidd came when film for the SX-70 was discontinued. He switched to a 35mm Nikon and became more invested in what he describes as "a weird situation. It wasn't an art project. I was just taking photos."
He'd be out for months on end, shooting 50 rolls a trip. He had full access because he was the same age as the tramps he lived among, though he always had a place to come home to. During a stop at his mom's in Pensacola, he bought a scanner and set up a website, www.ridingdirtyface.com. He didn't expect anyone to find it or care, but he was wrong about that.
"It was overwhelming, the feedback I was getting," he says. "I wasn't quite done with the photos and I was getting offers to do shows and exhibits and I wasn't ready for that attention. So I deleted the website."
The rides would range from three hours to four days. To stave off the boredom, he gave himself tattoos on both forearms down to the fingers. Otherwise he never got hurt, "just a lot of close calls," but he did get arrested in Illinois and spent 10 days in jail.
Riding along, he gradually became more interested in the engines that pulled the trains than the people riding them.
"I guess I had a realization that I can't ride around on trains forever and stare into space and look at the world around me," he says.
In 2009, he got off in Nashville and entered a full-time program to become a diesel mechanic. "In my mind it was just no more photos," he says.
But the photos he'd already taken, 8,000 in all, wouldn't go away. At the end of a long ride from Memphis to Oakland, he met Paul Schiek, founder of TBW Books, at a birthday party. They stayed in touch over the years until Schiek became his manager, a relationship solidified when Brodie finished the program in Nashville and got a two-year apprenticeship at Peterson Power in San Leandro, fixing Caterpillar equipment.
He also shares a shop in West Oakland for side projects. He introduces himself as "Brodie," because there are too many Mikes, particularly among mechanics.
Nobody knows he is the Polaroid Kidd but that's bound to change.
"Mike Brodie: A Period of Juvenile Prosperity," was released in 2012 in an expensive limited edition by TBW Books, along with a trade edition by Twin Palms Publishers of Santa Fe. Seven thousand copies have been sold, at $65 apiece, and soon it will be followed by "Mike Brodie: Polaroids," a book of his earliest work. Brodie's quest to be "identified as a mechanic" might be derailed.
"He has all the acclaim but no interest in reveling in it," says his manager, Schiek. "It doesn't satisfy him."

MADISON, Wis. (AP) – A group of same-sex couples has filed a federal lawsuit challenging Wisconsin's ban on gay marriage.
The American Civil Liberties Union filed the lawsuit for the couples in federal court in Madison on the morning of Feb. 3. The lawsuit argues that 17 states and the District of Columbia allow same-sex couples to marry. It goes on to say Wisconsin's ban deprives same-sex couples of the legal protections afforded married couples for no reason other than their sexual orientation and gay Wisconsin couples who go out-of-state to marry could face prosecution when they return.
The lawsuit names Gov. Scott Walker and Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen as defendants. Spokespeople for both Walker and Van Hollen didn't immediately return messages.
A 2006 amendment to the Wisconsin Constitution bars gay marriage or anything substantially similar.

Colorado wilderness offers deep well of dopamine
Several months ago, my colleague Douglas Brown wrote about something his family does periodically: Amish Weekend. They spend the weekend together with no television, no internet, no telephones, just … each other. Come Monday, it turns out all of that digital stuff is still there waiting. Did they miss anything? Maybe, but what they gained (time together, in-person connecting) was far more important.
Since then, much has surfaced about the addictive nature of staying wired, and whether it's good for us. The Guardian's Tracy McVeigh recently wrote about a sense of guilt in Silicon Valley, a "what have we wrought" reality check.

Lawinger: Learning from Argentina's mistakes
The federal spending deficit, inflation and the path the U.S. economy is on are subjects that the media and both political parties often mischaracterize.
The current projection on deficit spending as authorized by Congress will not bankrupt the country. It will, however, seriously debase our currency, which it is already doing. If we take the year 2000 as a base, the cost in dollars for college tuition, gasoline, food, farm land and many investments has increased by nearly 100 percent to 2013. The government would have you believe that inflation has been less than 3 percent per year during that period.
Our Federal Reserve Bank has purchased some $3 trillion face value in U.S. bonds, allowing that amount to circulate without corresponding cost against the purchases. (QE or quantitative easing is the term used to describe these purchases.) This action is effectively printing money and is the way the deficit is being financed.
We are not really going the way of Greece as the daily news threatens, but we should analyze the economic history of Argentina during the last century. In 1940 Argentina was the richest country in Latin America with a peso backed with gold and worth about one third a U.S. dollar. The unions gained control of the nations politics and the country just printed money to cover government expense and pensions with the result that the original peso had less value than 1 cent U.S. by 1975.
If we do not get deficit spending under control, the consequences may well duplicate many of the problems that faced Argentina in the 1900s. That country still has not recovered from the currency debasement and devaluations of their currency.

Ladies and gentlemen,
Thank you for the opportunity to address you today. To frame our discussion, I would like to present the facts, drawing on results from work carried out by the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights focusing on:
- health inequalities in the EU;
- universal health coverage; and
- barriers in access to healthcare.
But before that, let me first set the scene. Health is a fundamental human right, for every man, woman and child and is recognised in international and European human rights instruments, and national laws. Human rights are for all, irrespective of citizenship, residence permit or passport - the passport to rights stems from the fact that you are a human being.
When focussing on the right to health it should be mentioned that the International covenant on economic, social and cultural rights underscores that States have the duty to address the underlying determinants of health, such as access to clean drinking water and adequate sanitation, as well as healthy occupational and environmental conditions. States also have an obligation to grant equal access to healthcare to all, especially vulnerable or marginalized groups of society. In Europe, the EU's proposed Horizontal Directive will address this by extending protection against discrimination to healthcare on such grounds as disability, age and sexual orientation.
1) Let me first address health inequalities in the EU.
Fact: People with lower educational levels, job status or income often die younger and are sick more often. Subcategories here include migrants, ethnic minorities and people with disabilities. Often they live and work in poorer conditions, their work is more manual and they receive poorer quality healthcare. This can create health inequalities even in comparison to those from the majority population living under similar socio- economic conditions.
For example: FRA surveyed the situation of Roma, Europe's largest minority. What did we find? One third of respondents aged 35 to 54 reported health problems limiting their daily activities. This can affect the chance of finding, or being in, paid work. To put it in perspective, in Italy seven times more Roma than non-Roma report limitations due to health. A pattern we found reflected in other countries.
Let me give you another survey example: Roma women, aged 50 and over, said that they suffer in daily life due to injuries, diseases and other health problems. As problems generally increase with age, this is particularly worrying. Perhaps even more worrying are the inequalities that we found: 79% of Roma women over 50 in Poland suffered limitations due to health compared to 48% of non-Roma women living nearby, in basically the same socio-economic conditions. Again we found the same in other countries.
The EU's Health Strategy aims to remove health inequalities by closing health gaps. This means paying more attention to the needs of less advantaged people by providing healthcare, but also by tackling the social determinants of health: improving living and working conditions such as better sanitation and housing renewal.
This calls for reliable health statistics including the collection and use of disaggregated data. For instance, data on the health status and access to healthcare among ethnic minorities and people with disabilities is not yet collected systematically. This will help create more targeted strategies.
2) This brings me to my second point, universal health coverage.
Fact: The World Health Organisation believes that universal coverage improves population health overall as also shown by scientific evidence.
In terms of universal health coverage, FRA looked at two groups not covered in some Member States:
- About 20% of Roma in our survey reported that they are not covered by medical insurance or do not know if they are covered.
- According to research in 2011, irregular migrants in 19 out of 27 EU Member States are only entitled to emergency healthcare. In 11 of these 19 countries they must pay for emergency healthcare. Not only will they be billed, but often healthcare providers require proof they can pay before treating. This may lead to casualties, even death. We found a case in Brussels where an irregular migrant used to borrow a friend's medical card to go to hospital. When she was later treated in hospital after a serious car accident, she died following a blood transfusion. Why? Wrong person meant wrong blood group.
Providing access to necessary healthcare to irregular migrants is a public health measure and a human rights obligation. But it can also save costs. Cost effectiveness is one of the main issues in the current debate on access to necessary healthcare for irregular migrants, especially in today's economic climate of healthcare cuts where people often need more support not less.
FRA research has shown that a lack of evidence on the financial implications of delaying treatment of irregular migrants is blocking policy makers from promoting access to healthcare for this group. FRA has been assessing whether delaying treatment until a health condition becomes an emergency is more expensive compared to a timely intervention. We looked at hypertension and prenatal care. As you know, hypertension, when left untreated leads to cardiovascular disease. And no or delayed prenatal care can result in premature births often requiring medical support. The provisional results show that access to necessary healthcare for irregular migrants saves costs. In the short term it can be cheaper to treat hypertension rather than treat victims of strokes. This further supports the argument that healthcare access should also extend to access to primary healthcare.
3) Which leads me to my final point, barriers in access to healthcare.
Fact: Even when entitlement to healthcare exists, the systems may create barriers in access to or quality in healthcare – often unintentionally. These barriers impact all groups that are protected by anti-discrimination law such as people with disabilities and ethnic minorities.
FRA research has shed light on the barriers which affect minority groups. Take the case of communication barriers. People with an ethnic minority background, for example, may be treated the same way as a country national. But, if they cannot properly communicate because of language, and a lack of interpretation, they may receive inadequate treatment, including a wrong diagnosis. Or informed consent may be rendered meaningless.
For people with disabilities accessibility is a key issue, acknowledged by international conventions as being central to the right to health. For example, the UN Convention on the rights of persons with disabilities, which most EU countries have ratified, sets out wide-ranging obligations for States Parties to ensure accessibility, including medical facilities.
FRA research has also identified stereotyping and degrading treatment in the healthcare system towards members of our society. For example:
- In our EU LGBT survey, over 93,000 lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender respondents gave us an indication of what their life is like. 10% of respondents felt discriminated by healthcare personnel in the past year. For transgender respondents discrimination was twice was high. And those who were open about being LGBT with medical staff were more likely to experience problems than those who hid their LGBT identity.
- We also carried out research on multiple discrimination in healthcare. This ranged from delayed, refused or undignified treatment including discriminatory stereotyping to malpractice, and lack of informed consent, including involuntary treatment. For example, older members of migrant or ethnic minorities are often suspected of feigning health problems just to receive benefits. And Muslim women are sometimes considered too poorly educated to understand and communicate their health problems. Same-sex couples often find difficulties in finding old age care facilities that are willing to host them.
Healthcare providers insist everyone is treated equally under their Hippocratic oath. Nevertheless they are sometimes reluctant to acknowledge that healthcare providers and systems might contribute to discrimination.
In conclusion,
The facts speak for themselves: discrimination and unequal access in healthcare is a reality for many across the EU. This needs to be acknowledged if we want to further reduce health inequalities and address the needs of vulnerable groups.
Thank you.

Book hotel rooms & other accommodation in London
London's two-millennia history as a capital city set along the banks of the River Thames goes back to its founding as Londinium by the Romans. The heart of the conurbation is the City of London's iconic Square Mile, following the boundaries of the medieval walls and now home to the world's most important financial centre. The present-day city is a fantastic combination of history, heritage, landmark buildings, world-class museums, a vibrant theater district, shopping areas galore and amazing nightlife.
Hosting literally millions of visitors annually, London's tourist industry is backed by important historical sights such as Westminster Abbey, St Paul's Cathedral, the Tower of London and Tower Bridge, Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament and the four major museums. The green lungs of the city are Regent's Park, Hyde Park, St James's Park, Battersea Park and Hampstead Heath, and the upscale district of Mayfair is famed for its exclusive art and antiques galleries as well as its luxury hotels such as the Park Lane Hotel.Sights nearby
Whilst most of London's major landmarks are set in the heart of the city, more are scattered along the banks of the Thames heading out of town to the west and should not be missed.
- Hampton Court Palace
Tudor Hampton Court Palace lies on the banks of the Thames in the suburb of Richmond, and was the favorite retreat of King Henry VIII and his successive wives. Expect imposing red brick towers and halls, polished wood flooring, Tudor carvings and an overpowering sense of history.
- Covent Garden
Once the city's flower, fruit and vegetable market, modern day Covent Garden is a hub for visitors for its Royal Opera House, market square, actors' church, street entertainment, pubs, restaurants and winding, narrow shopping streets.
- Westminster
The heart of historic London's secular and religious activity, Westminster is home to the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben and beautiful 10th century Westminster Abbey, home to the coronations of successive English kings and queens. Buckingham Palace is just a short walk away. You can find hotels such as The Strand Palace.
- St Paul's Cathedral
Set in the City of London, St Paul's is one of Britain's most spectacular cathedrals. Built to a design by Sir Christopher Wren after the Great Fire of London destroyed its predecessor in 1666, the cathedral escaped damage during the WWII blitz and is a favourite with visitors.
- Tower of London
Commissioned by William the Conquerer in 1066, the Tower of London and adjacent Tower Bridge are major London landmarks. The spectacular moated fortress holds the Crown Jewels, prison cells, ceremonial halls, an arsenal and the cottages of the Beefeaters who act as guardians and guides.Eating and drinking and shopping nearby
London's culinary scene will satisfy even the most picky gourmet, with many famous chefs established in city restaurants. For those with less unlimited means, a wide choice of international cuisine can be had in eateries all over the city, fast food outlets, typically British pub grub and fish and chip shops. Many central London hotels such as the Ritz and the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park boast excellent restaurants and Chinatown and Brick Lane's Indian enclave serve the best of Asian cuisine. London is a shopaholic's dream during the January and July sales, offering designer goodies in upscale Mayfair and high street names in the West End at great prices. Portobello Market is famous for its antiques malls, shops and street market.Public transport
The air arrival hubs for most of London's tourists are Heathrow and Gatwick international airports, with Heathrow's Piccadilly Line Tube station and Airport Express to Paddington Station giving fast access to the city centre. Gatwick has a fast rail link to Victoria Station. Once in the city, the best way to travel is by the Tube as its inner city stations are close to the majority of London's attractions. London's famous black cabs are convenient but expensive, and bus travel, although comprehensive, is slow due to overcrowded roads. Self-drive isn't recommended due to the congestion charge, the expense of parking and the city's day-long heavy traffic.

Once the cradle of agriculture for civilization, the Land Between Two Rivers - the Tigris and Euphrates - has become a basket case for its farmers.
Naj Habeeb and his son, Mustafa, grow rice in a field along the Euphrates River in Iraq's Mishkab village. Just ask Naji Habeeb, 85. His family has been growing rice in this village 135 miles southeast of Baghdad for generations. Thin green shoots stick out of the flat paddies, shin-deep in brown water.
The Iraqi government, he claims, still owes him half of what he's due from last year's crop. He turned it in months ago and still hasn't been paid. "Shall I suck my fingers and eat like a baby?" he shouted. "The Ministry (of Agriculture) will never know my family is hungry!"
Habeeb's family members have farmed the 538-square-foot plot next to a branch of the Euphrates River the same way for centuries. Except today they till with tractors, run water pumps with gasoline and spread artificial fertilizer. They plant seedlings by hand in June and July, irrigate and keep bugs and disease away in the summer heat, harvest by hand in October.
However, their efforts haven't helped Iraqi agriculture overcome the twin disasters of war and sanctions, which have transformed the country from one of the world's premier sources of aromatic rice and nearly 500 kinds of dates 30 years ago into a net importer of food.
Iraq now imports nearly all the food its people eat: California rice, Washington apples, Australian wheat, fruits and vegetables from its neighbors. All are staples in Iraqi groceries and on the dinner table.
The decline of the farming sector creates other problems. Agriculture accounts for half or more of Iraqi jobs and is the second-largest contributor to the gross domestic product. The prices that people and the government pay for shortfalls in what they used to grow weaken the country's economy.
For its part, Prime Minister Nouri al Maliki's office says he unveiled an "agricultural initiative" two years ago. It included $240 million to bolster farmers, including no-interest loans, guarantees to buy crops, research and development, and other plans. A deputy in the Ministry of Agriculture, Mahdi al Qaisi, said that his agency "will be happy to help farmers, who are our brothers. The time of fear has ended; there is no need to be afraid."
Iraq's agriculture faces the same problems as farmers everywhere: drought (in its fifth year), bugs, disease, salty water, red tape. Those problems are exacerbated, however, by location and history. Eight years of war with Iran, defeat in the Persian Gulf War of 1991, then 12 years of sanctions and, most recently, six years of war and U.S.-led occupation have left the country's agricultural sector in shambles.
Reliable statistics are elusive or suspect. Iraq is the only country, for example, in which the U.S. Foreign Agricultural Service estimates crop yields by using satellite data.
The available numbers, however, suggest a stagnant and backward sector.
This year's wheat harvest is expected to be 1.3 million tons, down a million tons from last season. The prized amber rice crop grown by Habeeb and popular throughout the region for its perfumed scent will be around 100,000 tons, one-third of last year's yield.
One result is that Iraq has become one of the world's biggest importers of wheat, around 3.5 million tons. Barley to feed livestock - sheep, goats and cattle - also is shipped in from other countries. The higher cost of raising livestock means that more will have to be culled.
Another result: Iraqi consumers pay more for homegrown produce than they do for some imports.
Zaineb Kemal, a mother of four in Mosul, said that Iraqi produce had become scarce and expensive. That's why "so many people prefer to buy imported goods," she said, adding that she likes Iranian watermelons, Syrian cucumbers and Egyptian oranges.
Anti-globalization groups praise the fact that Iraqi farmers reuse their own seeds season after season. That doesn't lead to robust crops, however, and farmers routinely spread twice as much seed as they ordinarily would need to ensure the reduced yields.
As in any country, agriculture is political. Unlike most nations, however, the present Iraqi government doesn't protect - let alone subsidize - many of its farmers, according to Western experts, the rice farmers in Mishkhab and consumers.
"Most farmers have been abandoned by the state," said Qasim Muhaideen, 43, who works in Mosul's central market. "How can our farmers compete in price and availability?"
Geopolitics also influences what happens to Iraq's farmers.
Turkey and Syria have built dams on the Euphrates within their borders, and they turn the spigot off and on to Iraq.
"The shortage is very effective," Awn Theyab, the director general of Iraq's National Center for Water Resources, said after Turkey reduced the flow after one week. "If it continues, we won't have enough water for the first round of the winter season, because our reservoirs are empty."
A few bright spots have sprouted. Aquaculture is emerging slowly as a food source, and 100,000 carp fingerlings were released to reservoirs in April. They'll grow to only one-fourth the size of the 25-pound monsters pulled from the Tigris, but the supply is more stable.
There's also been a boom in "hoop houses," plastic greenhouses for tomatoes using drip irrigation, not the usual field flooding.
Multinational provincial reconstruction teams report growing interest in better farming practices. Beekeepers, poultry producers and growers who want to learn modern techniques have started attending workshops.
Sitting barefoot on a carpet runner in a tiled room next to their paddies, Habeeb and Muhair swapped gripes about the government. Poor or zero planning. Delayed or incomplete payments. Baksheesh - bribes - needed for the best seeds. Weak fertilizer. Weaker pesticide. Power to run water pumps for only six hours a day, so they must buy gasoline for generators.
Even worse than their litany, they said, is their loss of pride. In their fathers' day, the aromatic rice they grew was enjoyed in Egypt, Lebanon - throughout the Middle East. Now it's all sold to the government.
A rooster crowed outside as little boys in the 15-member clan slid closer and listened to their elders.
"I feel sad not to export our rice anymore," Muhair said. "It was enough for your life."

A South Florida family is trying to figure out why a man cruelly slashed their 12-foot inflatable Santa.
The Oliva family always goes all-out with Christmas decorations. This year, Alexa Oliva touched her husband Bert's heart with a brand-new version of the jolly old Saint Nick outside their Kendall home. The surprise was meant to replace an older model that had been part of the family for about 10 years.
"I thought my Santa was dead, but no, he was alive and I thought it was awesome," Bert Oliva said.
His Santa surprise had extra special meaning this Christmas.
"It's my husband's first Christmas without his mom and I wanted to make it special for him because he's big on Santa and big on family," Alexa Oliva said.
But just three hours after Santa made his debut in front of the Oliva home, surveillance cameras captured a man running out of a black car and onto their property. They said it was clear the man had one mission in mind.
"[My friend] picked him up and she saw a big gash on his leg and she's like, 'I think somebody stabbed Santa,'" Alexa Oliva said.
The person responsible tore the inflatable Santa with some kind of sharp object. The decoration cost $90, but the Olivas say it's not about the money.
"I just want him to know that you know, he doesn't know what our family situation was and for someone to go around killing the Christmas spirit like that, it's just cynical," Alexa Oliva said.
The couple wants the local Grinch to come forward and apologize. They hope he learns his lesson, but they say they definitely won't let him steal Christmas.
"He killed Santa, but he didn't kill Christmas," Alexa Oliva said.

If there's one thing that gets people out in a community, it's music. I grew up in an area where there were numerous concerts going on every weekend, from major acts to smaller local bands. And no matter which concert you attended, it was always a full house.
I wasn't around when Don McLean released "American Pie." I was born too late and missed it by about 20 years.
I like to think that it's one of the best songs in American history. In that song, he asked if music could "save your mortal soul." Forty years later, the answer is still clear as day: yes, it can.
I don't think there's been a time when I haven't been listening to music. Sure, we all go through phases — the first CD I ever listened to was "Dookie," by Green Day, but I've also listened to pretty much every genre out there in some capacity or another. But the point is, music gets us through our lives. There's always a song for the happy and the sad times, the pleasant and the angry times, the chaotic and the peaceful times.
We listen to music everywhere we go: in the car, at work or at home. But I like to think music can serve another purpose rather than just providing relaxation or adrenaline. It also helps bring people together.
If there's one thing that gets people out in a community, it's music. I grew up in an area where there were numerous concerts going on every weekend, from major acts to smaller local bands. And no matter which concert you attended, it was always a full house. It didn't matter if it was a national act at a big-time stage, a regional commodity at a county fair or an unknown indie band playing at the corner bar. People went, and people had fun.
And I think, no matter where you go, the same can be said for any community. Whether you're a small, little town or a big city, music brings a community together. It can be someone as simple as a folk artist playing a concert in a bar, a local rock group playing in a bingo hall or a national band playing a free concert at a festival. People love music.
Sure, there are the instances of mosh pits or riots at concerts. I've been to a few concerts where there have been troublemakers. But that only comes down to the strength of your security and local police forces. If they're strong and trained well, you won't have many problems –– I say "many" because there is still always the possibility of a riot a la Alcatraz. Usually, the worst you ever have to deal with are girls throwing themselves at a Justin Bieber look-a-like or a mosh pit growing out of control.
As a citizen, I love going to concerts. It's a completely different experience than just listening to music on the radio; almost every band has a cover song that is just out of this world. For example, one of my favorite bands, The Clarks, has a killer cover of Bruce Springsteen's "The River." Another band, Ingram Hill, has done some pretty good covers of the Desperado Reprise by the Eagles. If you've never heard them, I command you to go listen to them. You won't be disappointed.
But we're in a time now when music is constantly being cut out of education packets. Why don't we do all of our communities a favor and start integrating music into our areas more so that everyone can enjoy the music? Because, yes, music CAN save your mortal soul.

Crown to appeal B.C. court ruling striking down portion of human-smuggling law

VANCOUVER -- The Crown will appeal a B.C. Supreme Court decision that struck down a section of the federal government's human smuggling law.
Prosecutor Peter LaPrairie told B.C. Supreme Court Justice Arne Silverman on Monday that the Crown fears the ruling leaves a gap in the law which could affect immigration cases, extradition and other human smuggling cases.
"I'm hoping we can conclude this case as quickly as possible and appear before the Court of Appeal," LaPrairie said during a brief hearing in Vancouver.
On Friday, the Crown will return to court to ask the judge to stay the charges, pending an appeal of the ruling in the case of four men accused of human smuggling.
In a decision rendered under a publication ban and released last week, Silverman found that Section 117 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act is overly broad.
The law states: "No person shall knowingly organize, induce, aid or abet the coming into Canada of one or more persons who are not in possession of a visa, passport or other document by this Act."
Silverman suggested the federal government reword the law that was amended by the Conservative government with much fanfare after two ships carrying Tamil migrants arrived off the B.C. coast.
"It is clear that Canada's objective in passing S. 117 is to stop human smuggling and to protect victims of human smuggling in accordance with her international obligations," Silverman wrote in the Jan. 11 ruling.
However, that section of the law "captures a broader range of conduct, and persons, than is necessary to achieve the government's objective."
While the term "human smuggling" appears in the heading, it does not appear anywhere in the body of the law, which means it could criminalize the activities of humanitarian workers and family members helping refugees, Silverman wrote.
"Section 117 does not expressly refer to human smuggling or to smuggling operations," the judge wrote. "This section is much broader than that, criminalizing any assistance given to persons coming to Canada who are not in possession of appropriate documentation."
Silverman declared this section of the law of no force and effect.
Peter Edelmann, the lawyer who represents accused Hamalraj Handasamy, said it will be up to the Crown whether to file other charges, but the human smuggling case will end this Friday with either a stay, an acquittal or quashing of the indictment against his client and three co-accused.
"But with respect to S. 117, it's clear this prosecution will not proceed ... unless Justice Silverman's ruling is overturned on appeal," Edelmann said outside court.
Handasamy, Francis Appulonappa, Jeyachandran Kanagarajah and Vignarajah Thevarajah are charged with human smuggling in relation to the arrival of 76 people aboard the MV Ocean Lady off the B.C. coast in October 2009.
Another ship carrying 492 Sri Lankan migrants, the MV Sun Sea, arrived in August 2010.
Six men face human smuggling charges in the Sun Sea case, and those prosecutions are in limbo pending the outcome of the Ocean Lady appeal. The Crown suggested in court Monday that two other human smuggling prosecutions currently before the courts are also affected.
In the Ocean Lady case, all of the accused remain out on bail and are living in Ontario, while two of the six accused in the Sun Sea case remain in custody.
Among the 76 men who arrived on the Ocean Lady in the fall of 2009, 15 have been accepted as refugees, 15 have had their claims rejected, one claim has been withdrawn and three men have been issued deportation orders.
Of the 492 Tamil migrants aboard the Sun Sea, 50 have been accepted as refugees, 63 people have had their claims rejected and 23 claims have been withdrawn.

My knowledge of circuits is pretty rudimentary and I've never really understood circuits, so I'm having trouble with the concept of Graetz circuits:
When you register the voltage on the resistor R on a screen of an oscilloscope, you get:
Why is this exactly? As I said, my knowledge of circuits is very limited. My idea:
The sign at the bottom of the circuit means it is an AC current. If the current goes from left to right it will be stopped by the diode above and let through by the diode below (to the left of the resistor) and vice versa if it goes from the right to the left. Is this correct?

Apple is reportedly shrinking the dock connector's footprint to accomodate the earphone moving to the bottom of the iPhone 5, according to Reuters.
The 30-pin connector currently being used has been in place for about a decade. The new, 19-pin adapter will provide a boon to accessory makers -- while simultaneously annoying Apple loyalists with drawers or shelves of older devices.
Technologies like microUSB offer more power in less space, so the move to smaller docking was inevitable, with tech blogs anticipating the move for quite some time.
U.S. & World
Reuters indicates that accessory makers are eyeing new business opportunities -- especially Bluetooth speaker systems.

A Strangely Insightful Circus
Read more
In a lot of ways the whole circus surrounding the release of the new Rob Bell book on Hell has acted as a strange and compelling fun house mirror, held up to the current American Evangelical landscape. It has revealed some of the worrying tendencies in certain camps while confusing many an evangelical…like myself. The crazy thing is I don't think it's a bad thing. In a weird way I'm thankful for the internet exploding into insanity in the past couple weeks; between the whole Hell vs. Universalism debate and Charlie Sheen basically embracing the fact he is an F-18 bro (aka, he's a lunatic) it's given me a lot to think about.
On the one hand, there is the Rob Bell camp which I suppose could best be described as progressive evangelicalism (my words). Living now in
I can somewhat identify with this group. I don't think 'progressive' is a bad word no matter how often Glenn Beck writes it on a chalkboard, but I do think many progressive evangelicals can wear it like a badge of honor. San Francisco seems to take pride in the fact he is less condemning and more understanding than other Christian teachers. I would say he is more artist than philosopher/theologian, but either way he seems very…how can I put this nicely…sure of himself? Another way to say it would be arrogant, even dismissive of the 'close-minded' conservatives who hold so tightly to traditional Christian beliefs without questioning them…at least that's how he seems to this casual observer. I enjoy some of his Nooma videos and liked the book Velvet Elvis and even have enjoyed and learned from a few of his sermons but he just seems very…prideful to me. The book description from HarperCollins on his new book on heaven and hell, Love Wins, simply solidifies my suspicions: "An electrifying, unconventional pastor whom Time magazine calls "a singular rock star in the church world," Rob Bell is the most vibrant, central religious leader of the millennial generation." Bell
Setting aside for a moment the desire to sell books and the probability Rob Bell didn't write that himself, how in the world can a pastor allow themselves to be described in such a ridiculous and worshipful way and NOT do anything to change it? If a pastor is supposed to lead their congregation by the way they live life, how could he not simply laugh at such an absurd description and tell the publishers, 'look guys, I'm flattered, but how's about toning down the praise, cause right now it makes me look like an arrogant jerk who thinks WAY to highly of himself'. This to me is the FAR more worrying trend in Evangelicalism at the moment: how prideful Christian leaders come across. Their way of thinking is the best way, they are so insightful, other people who disagree with them just don't get it, look at how popular they are and how many books they've sold, ect. And coupled with this sense of pride is a lack of awareness (best case scenario) or a lack of caring about it (worst case scenario).
The sad thing is our culture longs for the Christian 'rock-star'. We've been conditioned by our society to turn a person into an idol because it's easier to cope with an idol than with Jesus. It's easier to latch onto your favorite writer/theologian/pastor/teacher and follow everything they do than it is to latch fully onto Jesus. But no matter how many times Mark Driscoll challenges you to not be a stupid idiot, or N.T. Wright challenges you to think of heaven as a renewed physical earth and not a place of disembodies souls, those challenges PALE in comparison to the challenges of Jesus, starting simply with love God and love others. That is too hard! And yet the Bible teaches it is the commands and life of Jesus we are supposed to follow, not our favorite speaker. So no matter what Rob Bell says about heaven or hell, no matter how 'electrifying' he is, his insight and opinion isn't the final word…then again neither is the other side's.
Which bring us to the other tent in this circus, the tent which in many ways started this whole fiasco to begin with. The New Reformed tent. It's a pretty big and influential tent (not to mention pretty male and white) with a lot going for it. It is just as media savvy as Rob Bell, just as in touch with the culture and unfortunately, just as aware of its popularity and power.
First things first: what troubles me most about the way many leaders and pastors in this camp rushed to judgment on a book they have never read isn't the fact they are attempting to toss him outside the Christian community, or the fact they assume they have the power to kick someone out of the Christian community, or the fact they are labeling Rob Bell a heretic without having read his book, it's the obvious lack of LOVE they have shown in this whole situation.
Alex, my lovely wife, said it best, "Why is their first reaction to kick Rob Bell out of the Christian community via the internet and NOT to go to him and try to love him, or at least talk to him?" The dismissiveness of many very influential leaders of Rob Bell is troubling to say the least. It's almost as if they were LOOKING for a reason to dismiss him, which honestly, maybe they were. Maybe they were tired of answering questions about Velvet Elvis or of hearing about Rob Bell doing speaking engagements with the Dali Llama (I know I was) and this was the final straw. Maybe they were just sick of such a widely read pastor asking questions they deemed to be dangerous or giving answers they deemed to be questionable. Whatever the case, their first actions, articles and tweets were reactionary, angry, dismissive and unreasonable given the fact they hadn't read more than the chapter or two of the book the publisher sent out early. More over there was an underlying theme of fear. Fear of Christians wrestling with big issues like what the Bible says about hell and how to best understand it, fear of people not being content just to believe in hell because its always been taught, fear of (and this is just my opinion) losing their own power and influence. As someone who has thought about hell a lot recently I can honestly say I believe there is a hell and that its separation from Jesus and the worst possible place humanity can be…but does that mean I angrily dismiss anyone I know for merely asking a question about how hell is portrayed in the Bible and label them a heretic? It seems intellectually dishonest and thoroughly UN-Biblical and unloving to attack someone for asking a question, no matter how scary you think the implications of the question is.
The bigger issue which this whole circus has raised and not many people seem to be acknowledging, is pride. An astonishing lack of humility has been show by both sides in this argument! On the one hand there is Rob Bell and the 'progressives' who are quick to label more 'conservative' Christians as close minded and bigoted, not to mention the already touched on absurdity of Rob Bell being okay with being described as a "rock star". On the other hand you have the New Reformers who are so convinced their system is the right system and their theology is the right theology they rush to excommunicate a fellow brother in Christ instead of reaching out to him in love when they feel threatened…not to mention the fact they are excoriating the said brother in Jesus based on a book description, not the actual book itself! If you ask me, it is pretty presumptuous to call someone a heretic based on a book description, no matter how egomaniacal the book description is. As I mentioned earlier, I am weirdly thankful for this whole circus because its made very clear the problems which explode when pride is left unchecked…on both sides.
My reason for writing this post is to challenge myself to take a good hard look at the areas in my life where pride reigns (not to mention the ways in which I can overvalue the opinions of pastors/teachers I respect instead of thinking for myself). I should go into meetings with students and City Cru events with fear and trembling, not self-assured confidence, knowing the dangers and delusions of pride are often impossible to detect until something draws them out publicly…like a book description from an author I don't particularly agree with on an issue I think I have the end-all answer to. My hope and wish is for all the Christian leaders involved to take a deep breath and apologize for believing their own hype, rushing to judgment or at the very least for acting out in a way soaked in self-trust and anger instead of Jesus. I know I am as guilty as anyone of being seduced by the allure of pride, vanity and esteem so I hope I don't sound holier than thou. Its is often easy to see the pride of others and point it out while being blinded to my own vanity. We are all sinners who are very imperfect but are loved infinitely by a God who is very perfect indeed. And that, at least, is an eternally comforting thought.

Accommodation and facilities:
Vi havde booket en garden villa og den var fin og badeværelset meget stort. Villaen lå oppe på bjerget,hvilket var anstrengende, når man havde dårligt knæ. Alle i restauranten og ved poolbaren samt den kvindelige rengøringsdame gav en super service. Der ligger et lille supermarked et kvarters gang fra resortet. Der var meget varmt i den periode, vi var der, så vi foretog os ikke meget andet end at spise og drikke samt gå i poolen. Vi gik ikke i havet, da der var giftige gobler. Alt i alt var det godt men meget varmt. Der skal lyde en speciel tak til de søde mennesker i restauranten, vi vil savne deres smil og humor. Det var koldt at komme hjem til Danmark.

Fantastic hotel. Location next to a lot of restaurants and commerces. We booked up a room with balcon and jaccuzzi and that was very pleasant.
Reservation service:
Perfect i recommend to book up a private transfer car from the airport to the hotel, more expensive than taxi but much more pleasant especially after a long journey.

We stayed in the hotel for 5 nights: very impressed by the beautiful nature (tropical gardens, beach, sea), a kindliness and helpfulness of the employees and a general design of the hotel but disappointed about housekeeping and technical services (on the first day the sheets were not fresh and we waited for a soap for two days and it seemed that they do not differ between soap, bath foam, shower gel, shampoo and conditioner 8not included at all; we waited for a jacuzzi working for two days, finally – on 3rd day - we had to change the room but also the new jacuzzi was "frayed").

Accommodation and facilities:
On the first day we have asked that we do not have the room number 103 relate, because it is exposed to noise because of the road. In addition, the view is not as desired, and as with the other rooms in this category. Unfortunately, we did not meet our expectations. We were disappointed. Otherwise, the staff were very friendly and the facility is recommended. The next time we would be sure to have one of the better positioned room, otherwise we would prefer a different resort for that price.

Такого прекрасного места я не встречала! Отель просто сказочный! персонал весь очень приветливый и отзывчивый! Такое ощущение, что ты приехал отдохнуть к самым лучшим друзьям! На территории отеля звучит спокойная, очень красивая музыка, способствующая полному релаксу. Море всегда спокойное, без волн. Виллы и бунгало утопают в зелени! Неумолкая поют птички - так красиво! А запахи! - не передать словами ароматы цветущих деревьев, истончающих тонкий пьянящий аромат! Ландшафтные дизайнеры очень постарались! - такая красота повсюду! Номера очень просторные и красивые.

Accommodation and facilities:
I have been in Koh Samui 6 times and there are many better places for the same money in Koh Samui. I wouldn t book this hotel again for many reasons. Mainly because of the many mistakes they made in hotel service. Also the sunset jacuzzi villa got a poor view and it took about 10 minutes to climb there from the beach. Beach is also dirty and really narrow. Location - u really need scooter to get anywhare which the resort charges double of any other places. This place is good for maybe rich old people. My girlfriend (22years old) wasn t even served breakfest when she went to the restaurant alone one morning. So customer service zero. Avoid. Overpriced too.

The hotel is absolutely unforgettable. It was a second one in the series of hotels we chose for our vacation. The first one was located on Lipa Noi, that Maenam Beach and the final at the Choeng Mon Beach. All in all Fair House gave us the trully feelings of Thailand and its hospitality. The perfect mix of good location (a bit far from the main road but it s more a plus), great facilities and outstanding personnel. The Pandanus SPA is a bit expensive but it s absolutely worth it as you get an unforgettable experience of real Thailand SPA treatments. When leaving we were treated so greatly that we nearly cried and did not want to depart. This hotel is absolutely a must for intimate true-Thai vacation.
Reservation service:

This was one of my top stays in Thailand. It is a bit away from the main road, but the resort offers many transport options free of charge. It is a perfect option if you want to avoid busy Chaweng when on Koh Samui.

The Gold Coast extends from the Queensland Capital of Brisbane down to the New South Wales Border. With excellent transport infrastructure, hotels and a lively, welcoming atmosphere the Gold Coast is the perfect location to host Australia's first ever Kiteboarding PKRA World Tour Event.
The weather conditions were not favorable in Surfer's Paradise today, causing a slight delay for the kick off of the final tour stop of the PKRA World Tour season due to the unforeseen lack of wind. The wind was very unstable and would pick up to near 15 knots in front of the squalls and drop within minutes of the passing fronts. It would have been possible to run the competition if the wind direction would have been sideshore instead of full onshore. Due to the onshore wind, the wind speed would have needed to reach 20 knots or greater in order for riders to have enough power to fight against the current and kite away from the shore.
Even though heavy rainsqualls hovered over the event site throughout the day, the beach was crowded with spectators anticipating the wind to pick up in strength for some kiteboarding action. At 1:00pm PKRA race director Olaf Van Tol announced that all freestyle riders were released for the day as well as the long distance race competitors. It was a day of waiting for the wind, something that is extremely familiar to every eager kiteboarder.
Shortly after 5:00pm the wind and weather conditions were more favorable, however Van Tol decided to call it a day and released all riders.
Tomorrow's mandatory skippers meeting is set for 10:00am.
The PKRA Gold Coast Kitesurfing Pro 2010 event is sponsored in part by Nissan, Cabrinha, Red Bull, Gold Coast International Hotel, Fakie and Temple with official partners Queensland Events, Gold Coast City Council, Tourism Queensland, Gold Coast Tourism, Katz Management, Glamorous Life Swimwear, Lovebirds Australia, Mojoz Swimwear with special support by Minotaur Sports Management Party Ltd. MSL – Michael Sing Lawyers, Keystone Events and 12 Below.

Стъпка 1The skin is hydrated with База за грим Ultra Underbase . Фон дьо тен Dermacolor Camouflage Creme 4 гр is mixed with Make-up Blend 30 мл to achieve an even & sheer complexion. Shimmering Event Foundation (golden beige) is buffed into the cheekbones and a hint to the brow bone, chin, cupid's bow and bridge of the nose. HD Micro крем фон дьо тен 8,5 гр illuminates the skin. Lip N' Cheek (hibiscus) is pressed into the apples and blended along the cheekbone while Lip N' Cheek (amaryllis) is concentrated along the contour line.
Стъпка 2HD крем очна линия (sahara) is the base of the eye make-up creating a durable foundation. It is applied all over the eyelid and continued round underneath the bottom lash line. The Сенки за очи палитра 15 цвята (Smokey Rose) complements this trend perfectly. Сенки за очи мат (M 13) is firstly blended over the lid and into the socket line. Сенки за очи мат (timber) is then buffed into the socket line and swept underneath the bottom lash line adding definition.
Стъпка 3Сенки за очи мат (maroon) is applied to the corners of the socket line, softly blended out and under the bottom lashes. Сенки за очи мат (congo) then adds depth in the same areas and pressed close to the root of the bottom lashes. Individual Cluster Eyelashes in Small are layered with a focus on the outer corners. A coating of Спирала за усилване на цвета (black) defines. HD крем очна линия (cacao) lines the top lashes and elongate into a fine graduating flick.
Стъпка 4Natural brows are key in this trend, so a minimal application of Компактна пудра за вежди (light) and Компактна пудра за вежди (medium) helps to softly enhance. The Light powder is applied at the beginning and tail of the brow while Medium adds needed depth through the center. Glamour Glow (juicy moon) adds iridescent flush to the apples of the cheek while Glamour Glow (pale tan) highlights the inner corner of the eyes.
Стъпка 5To prime, Балсам за грижа за устните is applied first. Faceliner (36) naturally defines the lip line and is blended onto the entire lip. Lip Stain (latin) is pressed in providing a blush of durable color. Once dry, High Gloss (seduction) and High Gloss (candy) are mixed together to complement the undertone of the Eye Shadow and applied sparingly. Finally, Glamour Glow (sun kissed) and Glamour Glow (moon dust) are buffed over the cheeks.

Live By The Spirit
July 26, 2013
"I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish." - Galatians 5:16-17
A person who is insecure about whether they truly are a Christian will sometimes find something to be extreme about, trying to prove to God, themselves, and others that they are serious about their faith. As humans, we are flawed and we cannot live the Christian life on our own. It is the Holy Spirit living inside the believer that guides us, and we must yield to Him. He will never lead us in the wrong direction. Remember today to live life on the highest plane and live by the Spirit.
