The New Bern Bears were back in a familiar position � locked in a pitcher�s duel - Wednesday just a few short innings into their non-conference tilt with Eastern Wayne.
The New Bern Bears were back in a familiar position � locked in a pitcher�s duel - Wednesday just a few short innings into their non-conference tilt with Eastern Wayne.
As fate would have it � there would be nothing short about this game, as New Bern came out victorious 3-2 in 11 innings.
The Bears stranded 12 runners for the contest and stranded at least one runner in scoring position every inning from the third through the ninth.
An inability to capitalize on scoring chances marred a marvelous pitching performance from starter Syril Smith and relievers Christian Rust, Cayne Ratliff and Sean Garbarino.
Smith tossed four innings, allowing one run (unearned) and was consistently ahead in the count of Warrior hitters.
The fifth inning is when things became hectic.
With the game tied, 1-1 and two outs on the Warriors in the top of the fifth, Eastern Wayne third baseman Ryan Warren sent a shot up the middle for a base hit.
Bears� centerfielder Josh Taylor came up firing and nailed Josh Dixon at the plate trying to score.
Then, in the bottom half, New Bern catcher Chandler Seagle laced a single to center and was pinch-run for by Royce Alston.
Alston took second on a steal, then advanced to third as the throw caromed into centerfield.
With Alston on third and no outs, the Bears failed to get him home with two strikeouts after failed suicide-squeeze attempts and a pop-up.
Garbarino came on in the seventh with the score 2-2 and ended up pitching five innings of no-hit baseball for the win.
Finally, in the bottom of the 11th, the Bears got their bunts down.
A Garbarino single, a beautifully placed bunt by 6-foot-5 first baseman Kyle Gaskins and another masterful bunt from Davis Cook, gave the Bears bases loaded with no outs.
Warriors� reliever Tyler Warren fired a pitch that squeaked by Dixon and to the backstop, allowing Garbarino to stomp on home for the clincher.
Seagle led the Bear offense, going 3-for-5 with a double that just missed being a game-winning home run.
Gaskins was 2-for-5 with a double to go along with a web gem of a defensive play at first that probably saved a run.
Davis Cook was 2-for-5 as well for the Bears.
The Bears won the game without a single RBI, taking advantage of three Warrior errors and aggressive baserunning.
New Bern improves to 12-6 overall with the win and remains 2-3 in Mideastern Conference play.
Eastern Wayne 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 � 2 6 3
New Bern 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 � 3 11 3

Disappearance of coral reefs, drastically altered marine food web on the horizon
If history's closest analog is any indication, the look of the oceans will change drastically in the future as the coming greenhouse world alters marine food webs and gives certain species advantages over others.
Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego, paleobiologist Richard Norris and colleagues show that the ancient greenhouse world had few large reefs, a poorly oxygenated ocean, tropical surface waters like a hot tub, and food webs that did not sustain the abundance of large sharks, whales, seabirds, and seals of the modern ocean. Aspects of this greenhouse ocean could reappear in the future if greenhouse gases continue to rise at current accelerating rates.
The researchers base their projections on what is known about the "greenhouse world" of 50 million years ago when levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere were much higher than those that have been present during human history. Their review article appears in an Aug. 2 special edition of the journal Science titled "Natural Systems in Changing Climates."
For the past million years, atmospheric CO2 concentrations have never exceeded 280 parts per million, but industrialization, forest clearing, agriculture, and other human activities have rapidly increased concentrations of CO2 and other gases known to create a "greenhouse" effect that traps heat in the atmosphere. For several days in May 2013, CO2 levels exceeded 400 parts per million for the first time in human history and that milestone could be left well behind in the next decades. At its current pace, Earth could recreate the CO2 content of the atmosphere in the greenhouse world in just 80 years.
In the greenhouse world, fossils indicate that CO2 concentrations reached 800-1,000 parts per million. Tropical ocean temperatures reached 35º C (95º F), and the polar oceans reached 12°C (53°F)—similar to current ocean temperatures offshore San Francisco. There were no polar ice sheets. Scientists have identified a "reef gap" between 42 and 57 million years ago in which complex coral reefs largely disappeared and the seabed was dominated by piles of pebble-like single-celled organisms called foraminifera.
"The 'rainforests-of-the-sea' reefs were replaced by the 'gravel parking lots' of the greenhouse world," said Norris.
The greenhouse world was also marked by differences in the ocean food web with large parts of the tropical and subtropical ocean ecosystems supported by minute picoplankton instead of the larger diatoms typically found in highly productive ecosystems today. Indeed, large marine animals—sharks, tunas, whales, seals, even seabirds—mostly became abundant when algae became large enough to support top predators in the cold oceans of recent geologic times.
"The tiny algae of the greenhouse world were just too small to support big animals," said Norris. "It's like trying to keep lions happy on mice instead of antelope; lions can't get by on only tiny snacks."
Within the greenhouse world, there were rapid warming events that resemble our projected future. One well-studied event is known as the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) 56 million years ago, which serves as a guide to predicting what may happen under current climate trends.
That event lasted about 200,000 years and warmed the earth by 5-9° C (9-16° F) with massive migrations of animals and plants and shifts in climate zones. Notably, despite the disruption to Earth's ecosystems, the extinction of species was remarkably light, other than a mass extinction in the rapidly warming deep ocean.
"In many respects the PETM warmed the world more than we project for future climate change, so it should come as some comfort that extinctions were mostly limited to the deep sea," said Norris. "Unfortunately, the PETM also shows that ecological disruption can last tens of thousands of years."
Indeed, Norris added that continuing the fossil fuel economy even for decades magnifies the period of climate instability. An abrupt halt to fossil fuel use at current levels would limit the period of future climate instability to less than 1,000 years before climate largely returns to pre-industrial norms. But, if fossil fuel use stays on its current trajectory until the end of this century, then the climate effects begin to resemble those of the PETM, with major ecological changes lasting for 20,000 years or more and a recognizable human "fingerprint" on Earth's climate lasting for 100,000 years.

KnickerBlogger Turns 5
: Uncategorized : Written by Mike Kurylo : 02-23-2009
This week marks the 5th anniversary of KnickerBlogger. When I started this venture, I didn't imagine it would last this long. Five years ago, blogging was still in its infancy. There were less than 2 million blogs when KnickerBlogger came into existence. Just six months after, the number of blogs had doubled. Today it's unknown how many blogs there are. One estimate is 200 million. Many of them are powered by individuals like myself. More important than the number of blogs is the role they perform. Once derided by the mainstream media, just about every newspaper, magazine, and network hosts …continue reading

California is the only state in the nation with independent professional judges dedicated to ruling on attorney discipline cases.
The State Bar of California investigates complaints of attorney misconduct. If the State Bar determines that an attorney's actions involve probable misconduct, formal charges are filed with the State Bar Court by the bar's prosecutors (Office of Chief Trial Counsel).
The independent State Bar Court hears the charges and has the power to recommend that the California Supreme Court suspend or disbar attorneys found to have committed acts of professional misconduct or convicted of serious crimes.
For lesser offenses, public or private reprovals may be issued by the State Bar Court.
Also, it can temporarily remove lawyers from the practice of law when they are deemed to pose a substantial threat of harm to clients or the public.
Lawyers may seek review of State Bar Court decisions in the California Supreme Court.
The State Bar Court conducts hearings and makes decisions and formal recommendations on disciplinary matters.
Since 1989, the court has used full-time judges appointed by the California Supreme Court, legislature and governor. The court is divided into two departments — a Hearing Department and a Review Department, headed by a presiding judge.
State Bar Court Hearing Judges hear and make recommendations to the Supreme Court about:
The Review Department is the appellate level of the State Bar Court, consisting of the presiding judge and two other review judges. All review judges are appointed by the Supreme Court.
State Bar Court Review Judges:
Richard A. Honn, Review Judge, Los Angeles
W. Kearse McGill, Review Judge, Los Angeles
Catherine D. Purcell, Presiding Judge, San Francisco
Ronald W. Stovitz, Pro Tem Review Judge, San Francisco
Lucy Armendariz, Hearing Judge, San Francisco
Patrice E. McElroy, Hearing Judge, San Francisco

Just two weeks ago, we brought you the new trailer for director Marc Webb's forthcoming Spider-Man movie reboot, The Amazing Spider-Man starring Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans and Denis Leary. Now, we have a new OsCorp viral recruitment video, a featurette focusing on Rhys Ifans' Dr. Connors / The Lizard, and some international character posters for the film.
Check them out below!
Viral Video: The Amazing Spider-Man – Oscorp
Featurette: The Amazing Spider-Man – Dr. Curt Connors
via oscorpindustries.com/animaldynamicslab and oscorpindustries.com/mutagen
One of the world's most popular characters is back on the big screen as a new chapter in the Spider-Man legacy is revealed in "The Amazing Spider-Man." Focusing on an untold story that tells a different side of the Peter Parker story, the new film stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Denis Leary, Campbell Scott, Irrfan Khan, with Martin Sheen and Sally Field. The film is directed by Marc Webb from a screenplay written by James Vanderbilt, based on the Marvel Comic Book by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. Laura Ziskin, Avi Arad, and Matt Tolmach are producing the film in association with Marvel Entertainment for Columbia Pictures, which will open in theaters everywhere in 3D on July 3, 2012.
"The Amazing Spider-Man" is the story of Peter Parker (Garfield), an outcast high schooler who was abandoned by his parents as a boy, leaving him to be raised by his Uncle Ben (Sheen) and Aunt May (Field). Like most teenagers, Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how he got to be the person he is today. Peter is also finding his way with his first high school crush, Gwen Stacy (Stone), and together, they struggle with love, commitment, and secrets. As Peter discovers a mysterious briefcase that belonged to his father, he begins a quest to understand his parents' disappearance – leading him directly to Oscorp and the lab of Dr. Curt Connors (Ifans), his father's former partner. As Spider-Man is set on a collision course with Connors' alter-ego, The Lizard, Peter will make life-altering choices to use his powers and shape his destiny to become a hero.
The Amazing Spider-Man starring Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Irrfan Khan, Martin Sheen, Sally Field, Denis Leary, Campbell Scott, Julianne Nicholson, Chris Zylka, C. Thomas Howell and Annie Parisse is slated to hit theaters on July 3rd, 2012.

|Inflation (yearly average, %)

(e): Estimate. (f): Forecast. *Excluding oil.
- Oil and gas reserves in the Timor Sea
- Supported by the Community of Portuguese Language Countries
- Attractive tourist destination (protected natural sites, rich cultural heritage)
- Vulnerable to natural disasters (landslides, typhoons, floods)
- Underdeveloped infrastructure
- Human capital deficit
- Very heavily dependent on oil income (98% of exports)
- Almost half the population lives below the poverty threshold
- High unemployment among young people (40%)
- Weak bank intermediation
Growth driven by public investment
Growth (excluding the oil sector) is expected to continue to increase in 2019, driven by public investment. Originally, the Timorese economy was dependent on hydrocarbon production, which enabled it to build a large oil fund that was worth USD 16.9 billion in 2017, or 571% of GDP. However, reserves are running out, and output is expected to end in 2022 – although the development of the Greater Sunrise gas platform in partnership with Australia could push back this deadline. The economy has no other growth sectors, apart from agriculture (coffee production in particular), which accounts for 90% of total exports excluding oil. This was the justification for a government plan to invest heavily to diversify the economy: the Strategic Development Plan (2011/30) aims to improve the health system and the institutional framework, and to develop other sectors of activity (agriculture, tourism, petrochemistry) and infrastructure (telecommunications, energy, water supply and sanitation). In 2019, the government will begin the second phase of its investment plan, which includes USD 704 million (20% of GDP) for infrastructure construction, USD 25 million (1% of GDP) to develop eco-tourism, and USD 129 million (5% of GDP) for the continued construction of the new port in Timor Bay, which is being carried out as part of a PPP, with French company Bolloré putting up an additional USD 12 million. As a result, economic activity will be linked to public consumption and investment, which account for 60% of GDP. Private investment, meanwhile, is expected to remain low due to the weak domestic market and poor business environment. Private consumption (27% of GDP), driven by job creation in the construction sector, should increase in 2019, while inflation is set to accelerate on higher food and fuel prices.
Deficits widen on substantial public spending
The fiscal deficit is expected to widen as a result of higher government spending on strategic investment projects for economic diversification. Revenues come from the oil sector and are tending to decline with production. The main risk remains the wasteful funding of "white elephants", such as the new port under construction. In the absence of fiscal consolidation, the deficit is expected to continue to be largely financed by the oil fund, which financed 90% of the deficit in 2017, and by external borrowing, increasing the external share of public debt (5% of GDP in 2017).
The current account deficit is also expected to widen due to a larger trade deficit, as coffee exports are volatile and weather-dependent, while fuel imports are set to increase. The chronic deficit in services should remain stable. The income surplus, which is where profits repatriated from oil investments are recorded, is expected to decline along with production, while remittances from expatriate workers should stay at the same level. The current account deficit is expected to be partly financed by FDI (1%).
Government restructuring and improved external relations
The July 2017 parliamentary elections put the Revolutionary Front for an Independent East Timor (Fretilin), led by Prime Minister Mari Alkatiri, ahead with a minority in parliament (23 seats out of 65). The Parliament, and in particular opposition parties including the National Congress for Timorese Reconstruction (CNRT), the Democratic Party (DP) and the Alliance for Change and Progress (AMP), twice rejected the government's political programme. As a result, President Francisco Guterres, a member of Fretilin, dissolved parliament. Fresh elections in May 2018 saw the appointment of a new Prime Minister, Taur Matan Ruak, from a coalition of the AMP, CNRT and the Popular Liberation Party (PLP), which has a majority in parliament (34 seats out of 65). The 2018 Budget Bill was finally passed in September and remains on track to increase public spending in order to diversify the economy. However, disagreements persist over the distribution of government spending, with some MPs arguing that the expenditures do not focus enough on agricultural development, when the sector employs the majority of the local population.
With regard to its external relations, Timor-Leste reached an agreement with Australia on the establishment of maritime borders in the Bay of Timor. The country felt that offshore fields were unfairly shared under the previous agreement. Discussions are ongoing on a collaboration between the two countries for the development of the Greater Sunrise gas platform, where Timor-Leste would recover 80% of the revenues if the gas and oil are refined in an Australian plant, or 70% of the revenues if the hydrocarbons are processed in a Timorese plant. This agreement would provide new opportunities for the Timorese economy and delay the forecast shortage of hydrocarbon reserves.

Sen. Kerry embarks on Massachusetts farewell tour
Kerry becomes Secretary of State Friday
U.S. Sen. John Kerry embarked on a farewell tour of Massachusetts on Thursday, a day before he formally steps down from the office he's held for nearly three decades to become the nation's next secretary of state.
The longtime Democratic lawmaker began his tour with a visit to the YouthBuild USA office in Springfield before stopping in Worcester to thank residents during an event at Holy Cross college.
In Springfield, Kerry called his decision to leave the Senate a "bittersweet moment" and said his best moments did happen in Washington but across the state when he met with residents and local organizations.
He pointed to the legislation he wrote in 1992 that created the YouthBuild program, which now has locations in 273 urban areas across the country. YouthBuild helps low-income residents ages 16 to 24 earn high school diplomas or GEDs by learning job skills building affordable housing.
"You have given me the privilege of a lifetime to represent this extraordinary commonwealth of Massachusetts as a United States senator," Kerry said. "I can't think of any better work, any better job, better opportunity, and I just wanted to come out here and say thank you."
Kerry winds up his "thank you" tour at Boston's Faneuil Hall where he'll meet with constituents before delivering a farewell address at 6 p.m.
Kerry also praised Gov. Deval Patrick's decision to name his former chief of staff, William "Mo" Cowan, to fill Kerry's seat until new senator is selected in a special election June 25.
"The governor has picked a very capable, thoughtful, intelligent person," Kerry said. "He's going to do a great job."
He also said he wasn't worried about the lack of experience in the Senate for Massachusetts now that U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, in office less than a month, is now the state's senior senator.
Kerry was first elected in 1984.
Kerry's resignation takes effect on Friday when he's scheduled to be sworn in as secretary of state.
On Wednesday, Kerry gave a farewell speech to fellow lawmakers in the Senate chamber.
He became emotional when he tapped on his desk and remarked that it had been used by both John F. Kennedy and Edward M. Kennedy.

There are going to be some lessons today that will not have much description to them and that's mainly because they are creations that have no real background. To start, I will show you "how to draw Pop Tart Cat", step by step or sometimes this meme is called Nyan Cat. This half cat half pop tart is a well-recognized icon that is seen on Youtube, and on plenty online art communities. I have seen Nyan Cat almost everywhere as well, so when I see a member with the Pop Tart Cat for their profile picture, I always smile because it is such a ridiculous looking creation, and I honestly don't know one person that can sit through the Youtube video with the same beat, and same lyrics playing over and over again. Anyways, I hope you all have fun with learning "how to draw Nyan Cat", as you can see the task is going to be as easy as counting to three. Peace out people and have fun!

Post subject: another gpa/chance question
I know there are so many posts like this but just wondering what people think my chances would be of getting into med school with a gpa of 5.3?
I would go to any school, and do heaps of community service! I have another year left of my undergrad degree and have been studying for the gamsat next year (no idea how I'll go though)
any advice??

The general rule of thumb is 5.0 min, 5.5 to be competitive so my initial thought would be that you would have an uphill battle. Of course each uni is different, some are tougher than others. You also still have a year left which is the most important (due to the weightings) so you have time to drag it up.
As the Acer guide says;
"For detailed information on the graduate-entry courses, as well as university-specific entry requirements, you should contact the appropriate school. All GPA queries should be addressed to the schools."
"When deciding whether or not to submit an application, you are advised to make sure your GPA meets the required minimum standards and to check that your GAMSAT scores fall within the acceptable ranges reported in the individual university entries in this Guide."
"Griffith and Monash use the GPA as a hurdle requirement and rank applicants based on GAMSAT results.
Queensland uses the GPA as a hurdle, then ranks applicants by GAMSAT results using the GPA as a tie-breaker where necessary.
Flinders ranks applicants primarily on the basis of GAMSAT results, although applicants with outstanding GPAs may be given special consideration.
UOW, Notre Dame Fremantle and Notre Dame Sydney rank applicants on combined GPA, GAMSAT results and portfolio/ written submission."
The line about Flinders above is slightly misleading, the method described is used for deciding who gets an interview and then all three scores GPA/Gamsat/interview are used to decide offers.
You should consider a uni that puts less emphasis on GPA. Eg, as mentioned above, Flinders use all three scores so your GPA is only worth 33% of their calculation as opposed to another that might use GPA/Gamsat 50% each. Of course smashing the Gamsat never hurts.
The same goes for volunteer/community work, some unis consider it important and others don't care. I just sat an interview at Flinders and they didn't ask anything about it (of course I still found an excuse to get it into the conversation). If they require a portfolio submission then it's probably more important.
Hope this helps...

Collecting Scheduled Events with Event Hub
About this sample
The sample project demonstrates how to monitor upcoming events on multiple Virtual Machines by forwarding them to a single Event Hub.
Scheduled Events is one of the subservices under Azure Metadata Service that surfaces information regarding upcoming events (for example, reboot). Scheduled events give your application sufficient time to perform preventive tasks to minimize the effect of such events. Being part of the Azure Metadata Service, scheduled events are surfaced using a REST Endpoint from within the VM. The information is available via a Non-routable IP so that it is not exposed outside the VM.
However, there are cases where you wish to have a single endpoint from which you can monitor multiple VMs across one or more Azure regions. This sample, installed in each of your VMs (potentially as VM extension) monitors the Metadata endpoint and forward scheduled events to a central Event Hub.
Building the sample
You will need an Event Hub created before running the sample. To do this, refer to the article Create an Event Hub through Azure Portal.
Copy the connection string for your Event Hub and paste it in the configuration file. This is the 'RootManageSharedAccessKey' under Shared Access Policies.
At the end of the Event Hub connection string, add ";EntityPath=[your-eventhub-name]", where your-eventhub-name is the name of the event hub that will be handling the events.
This sample was tested on Python 3.5
Running the sample
You can run this sample interactively from your command prompt or shell window.
Modify scheduledEventsInteractiveToolConfig.ini with your Event Hub connection string and event hub name.
Run the sample from your shell
python3 scheduledEventsInteractiveTool.py
A successful run will emit some info and debug data (which you can filter out):
2017-04-17 18:18:06,632 [DEBUG] Azure Scheduled Events Interactive Tool 2017-04-17 18:18:06,632 [DEBUG] get_scheduled_events was called 2017-04-17 18:18:06,639 [INFO] handle_scheduled_events was called with 0 2017-04-17 18:18:07,816 [DEBUG] send_to_event_hub returned
In case a scheduled event is detected, the sample sends a notification to Event Hub and acknowledges the scheduled event.
myuser@mysrv:~$ python3 scheduledEventsInteractiveTool.py 2017-04-17 18:30:35,169 [DEBUG] Azure Scheduled Events Interactive Tool 2017-04-17 18:30:35,169 [DEBUG] get_scheduled_events was called 2017-04-17 18:30:35,175 [INFO] handle_scheduled_events was called with 1 2017-04-17 18:30:35,175 [INFO] EventId: 762D06A2-8289-469B-AB27-4D26C9C745B3 Type: Redeploy Status: Scheduled Resource: _mysrv 2017-04-17 18:30:35,507 [DEBUG] send_to_event_hub returned 2017-04-17 18:30:35,507 [INFO] THIS host is scheduled for Redeploy not before Mon,_17_Apr_2017_18:40:06_GMT Are you looking to acknowledge the event (y/n)? n
You can also acknowledge the event from the sample. In this case, you ask Azure to move faster with the impact.
- Check your Event Hub for messages. You can use Service Bus Explorer to check for the messages sent to Event Hub.

[Page 489]
Translated by Dr. Samuel Chani and Jenni Buch I was a member of the Bund in Brest since 1905. In those days great revolutionary events occurred and strikes broke out throughout the Russian empire. The strike atmosphere also prevailed in Brest. The Bund a Jewish worker's organization, conducted agitation in the workers groups, and also amongst the Christian workers, the Bund organized and addressed a meeting of the railway workers.
One of the best agitators amongst the Christian worker's groups was Sher the watchmaker; he was the son of Anschel Sher, a violinist with the Brest Orchestra. He spoke good Russian and achieved much influence with his oratory talents
The Brest branch of the Bund numbered 800 members, but 1000's of Jewish workers were ready to support them. The Bund was purely a workers organization even it's leaders were workers. In order to assist the local leaders in their activities, the central committee of the party sent four officials to Brest who were expert in revolutionary activities. These 'professionals' were themselves not workers, they originated from other classes, but were passionate idealists who, instead of becoming doctors, lawyers, and businessmen had adopted the revolutionary cause.
They rotted in prisons and Siberian exile and some of them sacrificed their lives in the struggle against the Tsarist regime. At the head of these officials was a 'David'. This 'David' was one of the most outstanding personalities that I have ever met in my life. He was the treasurer of the Bund, and he allotted every employee three rubles a week for the purpose of living expenses and rent. Newspapers and books he purchased at his own expense every Monday morning he would wait at the railway station for the delivery of newspapers and journals from St. Petersburg. As soon as they arrived he would run and collect them and immediately return to his humble room to read them.
The Bund in Brest was also the headquarters of the Bund for the entire Brest district. We wanted to be called the Brest committee, as was the Bialystok committee, the Dvinsk committee, and so on we thought it was our entitlement as we had the greatest number of members and were very active, but the central committee had other ideas and refused to give us this right, so we were called the District Committee.
The Bund held an important position in the community life of Brest. It organized strikes and financially supported several groups whereby they could read socialist books and pamphlets, gave instructions to agitators, and spread revolutionary information.
We provided the information that was not printed in the government press to give the workers hope for a better world. We idealized the heroes and martyrs that were willing to sacrifice their lives for their beliefs we were ready to follow their example. The party activities were banned all the work was done in secret, we could not hold public meetings to address the people. Therefore, we organized large meetings in the synagogues and even at the cemetery. The Bund was strong in Brest and the synagogue officials did not dare denounce us to the authorities.
One of the largest meetings took place on the occasion of Wladek's visit to Brest. The synagogue was packed full and the workers listened to every word of his fiery speech, although this was an illegal meeting and attendance could result in imprisonment, there were several prominent people present.
I remember also a large meeting at the funeral of the Bundist 'Matil' who had drowned. On the day of the funeral, almost every worker in Brest left their workshops and factories and positioned themselves in an honor guard of two rows from the length of Matil's house to the cemetery. Then there took place one of the greatest revolutionary meetings ever held in Brest. The police did not dare interfere, they did not intervene in the funeral and it was an unforgettable event.
The most beloved leader of the workers at that time was Shloime the Shneider (tailor). Besides his great intelligence and personality he was a popular and loyal comrade. His home was a meeting place for Bund members from all the provinces. When a revolutionary would arrive and had no place to stay, Shloime would take him home and share his meal with him.
At Shloime's I met a member of the Central Committee, Beinish Michalovitch (Izbitzki), who arrived with important orders from the central committee. Izbitzki himself was a Brisker and had many relatives there. Shloime the tailor was liked and treasured by all the Bundists, and also by non-affiliated people. He was a very modest man I remember in the 1905 revolution when practically the entire city was under Bundist control the discussion in our group was about who would be the commandant of the Brest Fortress. Shloime was suggested as a candidate, but he refused emphatically.
A Bundist who was a legend in Brest was Fessel Kotlianski. She owned a dress salon for the wealthy, and the wives of the Russian officers. The first female members of the Bund thought it a great privilege to work for her. According to Tchernichevski (his rules of what to do), this was an exemplary example of how a workshop should be run in a socialist regime. Her workers were not treated as mere laborers but as equals in her factory this was the first workplace that was conducted on an eight-hour working day basis.
Fessel was not the only female member of the Bund we cannot forget Grandma that's how she was known by all. She took care of all her comrades in Brest. Whenever a worker was ill or imprisoned, Grandma would appear to give help. She watched over all her members, she knew who needed clothes or a pair of shoes, and would fix it accordingly. Grandma's wedding was a great celebration in the city. All the workers came in large masses and the evening was spent singing revolutionary songs together.
The most respected activist and leader was Reuven Salzman Reuven the Tailor. He was the eternal optimist. With his simple and well-defined words he would give hope and courage in the worst of times. He would say: All the tyrants will be defeated and we will win, because the truth is with us. He was a capable and talented organizer and attracted many new members. After his arrest, little remained of the party. At that time the reactionaries reigned they conducted many arrests and raids and all the members were affected.
When Pesach Novick took over the leadership of the organization, there were only remnants left of the former Bund Party. However, there were a few stubborn revolutionaries left who were not afraid of arrest. They resurrected the party and conducted agitation through the Jewish working classes; they gave lessons in socialism and provided revolutionary material for them to read.
Pesach and I would go every Saturday to visit Reuven in prison, in order to consult with him about party matters. Beforehand, we would bring books to the head warder of the prison and request permission to bring this with us into the prison. Often, permission would be granted even for books that were not officially sanctioned. Then there would be great joy that we had tricked them. Food was brought to Reuven almost daily. His mother would prepare the food in a pot with a double lid in which forbidden items were hidden circulars, proclamations, forged passports, and sometimes money.
It was a hard life to be a revolutionary under the Tsarist regime, but it was even harder for a Jewish revolutionary. Aside from the persecutions of the Tsarists, there were troubles from the religious Jewish fanatics around them.
Despite all this, there were thousands of stubborn young people who were willing to sacrifice their souls for their ideals. They all participated in the overthrow of the Tsarist regime, with the revolutionaries of Brest cooperating fully in this endeavor.
In the front are the 3 leaders of the Bundist Movement
- they were sent to Siberia in 1939 by the Russians and never returned -
R to L: Shtorch, David Shneider, and Israel Tennenbaum
[Page 493]
Translated by Dr. Samuel Chani and Jenni Buch I was arrested by the Tsarist police in Biala Podlaska in1909. Because I was an active Bundist, after a period of six months the gendarmerie (police) informed me that I would be sentenced according to articles 102 and 129 which meant six years hard labor and then exiled to Siberia for a long time. As the police had not managed to build an official case against me during these six months, I was temporarily released. My parents immediately left for Warsaw to consult with a famous lawyer Fotek of the Polish Socialist Party. Fotek had much experience defending in political trials. His advice was that I should immediately leave for abroad whilst he studied the charges and considered what I should do.
I went to Cracow which was then Austria, and after about six months Fotek informed me that the police had not found enough incriminating evidence according to paragraph 102, but that the secret police could banish me from the country and exile me to Siberia. I decided to return to Russia, and surrendered to the police who expelled me from 10 gubernias (provinces). In Russian it was called Bestrochniya Tzelka. My passport was confiscated and my record listed me as a danger to society.
In the beginning, I thought, well Russia is huge and I'll find a town to settle in, but I soon realized that the matter was not so simple. Wherever I went Bialystok, Grodno, Kovno, Minsk or Vilna I would have to report to the police and was ordered to immediately leave the town if I did not want to go to prison.
Upon arriving in Brest I was called to the office of His Honor the Grodno Chief of Police. He began to curse me, how I, a dangerous element, had the nerve to come to a city like Brest with it's large military fortress. In a great rage he grabbed me by the hair and threw me out of his office with a Russian Misheberach (blessing). Notwithstanding this, the Bundists in Brest were old friends, who wanted me to stay in Brest, and despite everything, stay legally.
In 1911-12 the Bundists in Brest, as everywhere else were self-supporting and had reorganized themselves. They needed useful speakers and activists. They knew that I was a veteran Bundist and a good orator, and it was decided that I should remain in Brest.
The renowned Bundist official, Shloime Shneider met with a police official of the city A.Makorov, who registered me at his address. I would have to pay him monthly rent of three rubles. After obtaining the right of residency, I had to face the problem of earning a living. The Brest Bund was impoverished, and could not at that time cover my expenses but just then the printing firm Kobrynets received an order to print a 500-page book General Kurapatkia's memoirs of the Russo-Japanese War (1905). I received a position as a typesetter.
The Bund at that time was developing and organizing the worker's groups: bookmakers, tailors, metalsmiths, building laborers and associated trades as well as female workers. Especially active in these group meetings were: Moshe Shapiro, a student and editor of the student Russian newspaper in Brest. After the revolution, he became assistant Commissioner for Education in St. Petersburg. The brothers Chaim and Shimshon Riger the sons of the Dayan (rabbinical judge), Simcha Zelig Riger. Shmulke Muller, who was later wounded in the Bundist self- defence force. Shloime Shneider, and others.
Our work grew rapidly and we printed daily proclamations. However, no printer would print our proclamations. We wanted to purchase printing machines and open a printing press, but no one would sell us the equipment. The party decided to simply steal the lettering machines from the Kobrynets plant, and to form a clandestine printing press.
Each day, I would take lead letters from their boxes, conceal them in a feather quilt, and pass it to a comrade who would be waiting outside to take it away. In three weeks time we had an illegal press with all the machinery. We achieved the matter in the following manner: the binder would make 20 cardboard boxes that we would fill with our pamphlets, the printing equipment we all carried in our pockets.
We rented a room from a poor elderly married couple and printed out our proclamations there. Chaim Riger was the head setter of the press. The elderly couple noticed that every evening the room would be full of well-dressed young people, and students who would stay there until late in the night, and they were most unhappy. They suspected that we were printing counterfeit money. One winter evening, they told comrade Riger, that if he didn't move out with all his boxes, they would report him to the police. All his begging to them to wait an hour until he brought boxes to move the material did not help. The couple demanded that he remove the suspect materials immediately. Riger bought an old sack from them, put all the printing tools in it and wanted to move this to a member's home until we could find an appropriate place. He put the large sack on his shoulder and began to walk, attracting the suspicions of a policeman who demanded that he stop and wanted to see the contents of the sack he was dragging. Riger stammered as he was nervous the policeman opened a box and found lead letters. He took Riger to the police station. Several Bundist members of the boot makers group witnessed this and decided to rescue Riger from his predicament. With much chutzpah they announced to the policeman that it was a great shame for a rabbi's son to be taken to the police station. At the same time they pressed a ruble into the policeman's hand.
The policeman immediately changed his expression, returned the sack to Riger, and asked him to disappear at once, so that he would not have to share the ruble with his colleagues.
I had a lot of satisfaction from my life in Brest, beside the Bund activity I was close to my hometown of Biala Podlaska, where my family lived. At one point the Bialer Bund asked me to return secretly and make a speech there. I arrived in the morning and was given a place to stay in secret. I stayed there several weeks and was again arrested.
My fiancé exerted all her means to get only one policeman to escort me back to Brest and hand me over to the police commandant. This policeman duly transferred me to the police chief and said have pity on your girl (fiance) and stay quiet here in Brest, if you don't want to end up in Siberia.
I should mention that the entire time I stayed in Brest, there was not one Bundist denounced by the public to the police. Yet when I arrived in Biala Podlaska for a few weeks, I was denounced by someone to the police and found myself in the Bialer prison. This is a great credit to the Bund in Brest.

The dozen Ohio Army National Guardsmen marched into the Reynoldsburg United Methodist Church chapel yesterday with stoic faces befitting soldiers proud to serve their country. But none of them could suppress megawatt smiles at their family members that said "I love you" and "Everything will be OK" as they prepared to depart on a deployment that will take them to Afghanistan.
Even Adjutant General Deborah Ashenhurst noticed how the men lit up before becoming serious again.
"It's OK to smile," she told the men, adding that if there was ever a day to sport a Cheshire grin for their loved ones, it was yesterday.
Ashenhurst said she expected an even greater show of emotion a year from now when the men return from teaming up with Hungarian forces to train Afghan police officers. The soldiers make up Military Advisory Team 2 in the Ohio Army National Guard's 174th Air Defense Artillery Brigade.
Two-year-old Olivia Harkless of Akron had no idea what the grownups were talking about but she knew her daddy was sitting in front of her and needed a poke --well, several pokes, actually.
Staff Sgt. Rudy Harkless turned around and made a funny face as she rocked back and forth in his wife's lap. Olivia proudly wore a white T-shirt with "My hero wears combat boots" in pink lettering on the front and "I call him daddy" on the back.
Harkless' wife, Stacie, 30, is pregnant and said it would be difficult to see her husband leave just a few weeks before her due date. But she suspected it would be easier than during his first deployment in 2008, a few weeks after they got married and moved into a new house.
"I knew nothing about Army life back then," she said. "It's different now. I have a lot of family to help, and I'll have two little girls to take care of."
Vicki Harp, 54, of Sandusky, said sending her 29-year-old son, Jeremy, into battle never gets any easier.
"I'm always nervous, anxious and scared to death," she said, wiping tears from her eyes.
But she said her son, a sergeant, is a mother's dream and a great dad who knows how to put them all at ease. The night before, for example, he pulled all the chairs out from the kitchen table and built a fort for his two children after his 5-year-old daughter started to cry about his leaving.
"The kids slept under that fort all night long," Harp said.
Knowing their loved ones will get the support they need makes it easier to leave, said Sgt. Maj. Bill Dillon, 43, of Portsmouth, who has been deployed three other times.
"I want my family and all of the families to have the same freedoms that I grew up with," he said. "It's very important to me to know that they can sleep soundly in their beds."
Tina Dillon, 43, said her husband's father and grandfather both served in the military and she can't imagine him doing anything else. "He's just a soldier's soldier."
To share a little comfort of home, she said she plans to routinely send her husband Doritos, instant macaroni and cheese, and cans of tuna --things he craves while on tour.
Lt. Col. David Ditz said he is proud of his team --11 of whom have been deployed before and six of whom have pursued this mission in Afghanistan before. He joked that his men are the "fabulous 12" and said "This team will not and cannot fail."
"What more can I say? They're my brothers, and I trust them with my life," Ditz said.
The men leave today for Fort Polk in Louisiana, where they will train for about two months before going to Europe. They'll train there for another two months before going to Afghanistan, he said.

USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack, together with First Lady Michelle Obama, announced improved nutrition standards for school meals on January 25, 2012.

Fra: Richard Bentley Til: H.C. Andersen
Sprog: engelsk.
29 Broad Street Brighton. Dec. 5, 1849.
My dear Friend,
You must not imagine, because I have not had the pleasure of writing to you that you have been out of my thoughts. They often recur to you; and I can picture you to myself completely. 1 trust since you left us you have been in the enjoyment of health. The whole framework of Society has been unhinged since that time; and afflicted as your noble Country has been (and furough her whole career she has indeed maintained her high renown), England, though not visited directly by slaughtering armies has pined in sympathy at the woes she has witnessed on the whole continent of Europe. Here the mania for railway speculation has caused ruin to masses of the middle classes and to a certain extent this enormous evil yet remains, and must continue for some time longer.
Then, too, we have had the frightful pestilence, the Cholera, which has swept off in London alone 25,000 souls! Among those who have been carried off by this cruel plague, was our mutual dear friend Dc Taylor, whom you will recollect meeting at Sevenoaks. Poor fellow! Re was seized on a Tuesday and died on Wednesday! You will regret to hear that tho' employed by our Government in matters of great confidence and requiring considerable intelligence there is but little chance of anything being done for him by it. lam endeavouring to bring together friends to a public meeting in New Burlington Street to collect a subscription for his widow and 4 children, who are comparatively left destitute. Poor man! he was just about to be appointed to a lucrative office when he was cut off!
By the newspapers I observe that the Danish poet Oehlenschlager has been made a knight by your new Monarch. I hope that he has conferred a similar honor on you, my dear Friend.
Have you been lately engaged in any new work? or are you meditating any thing? The Two Baronesses I regret to say was not successful this, no doubt, was in some measure owing to the total stoppage of business since the last insane outbreak of the French in 1848. Now, however, we appear to be a little recovering from this martial earthquake. Row long this fickle people will let us remain at peace is quite a matter of chance. The tiny little freak of some maniac will set the whole of France in an uproar again. Are they not monkey-tigers.
God bless you, my dear Friend. All around me greet you in the heartiest wishes for your health and additions to your well-earned renown. By the Christmas fire side we shall pledge a bumper to you.
From your sincerely attached Friend,
Richard Bentley.

Cameron University will celebrate the birthday of Ole Kim, the university's official mascot, with a festive tailgate party on Tuesday, November 5 at 5:30 p.m. Co-sponsored by the Office of Student Activities and the Cameron University Alumni Association, the party will feature food, games and prizes. Ole Kim's birthday celebration is open to the public and takes place at Aggie Gym prior to the Aggie volleyball game which starts at 7 p.m.
Earlier in the day, Cameron students who are wearing black and gold or Cameron attire can celebrate with birthday cake from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. in the McMahon Centennial Complex.
"Ole Kim has been a campus tradition since he made his first appearance on campus in 1964," says Jennifer Holland, Vice President for Student Services. "Although his appearance has evolved through the years, one thing remains constant: his dedication to Cameron students and Aggie pride. It's time we got together to celebrate Cameron's mascot, who generates Aggie spirit no matter where he goes."
Ole Kim's status on campus is legendary. He is an ex-U.S. Cavalry officer from Fort Sill who sought his fortune as a prospector during the Wichita Mountains gold rush of the early 1900s before becoming a cowboy, then a Cameron student.
Well past his teenage years, Ole Kim maintained a love for learning. A man who had been many things - a military officer, a gold miner and a cowboy - knew that education was the key to a better life. He also had the courage to do what would be unthinkable to many people his age...to ride a pony to Mr. Liner, the president of Cameron State School of Agriculture in 1910 and ask to become a student.
Today, it is said that the spirit of Ole Kim still walks the campus of Cameron University. He's never missed a day of class. Each spring, he's the last graduate to walk across the stage during commencement, then he returns in the fall with new students. He helped build each new building, coach every team, cheer with the fans and cram for finals. He earned Cameron's first diploma.
Ole Kim represents the very best of Cameron University. He is the military and the civilian, the cowboy and the prospector. He is the nontraditional student who gains knowledge, and he is the faculty who shares it. He is dedicated, brave and willing to work hard. The spirit of Ole Kim lives today in Cameron's students and alumni.

Network Orders 26 Additional Episodes of the Acclaimed Drama Series Damages Starring Glenn Close from KZK Productions, Sony Pictures Television and FX Productions
Seasons Two and Three of Damages Set for 13-Episode Runs
LOS ANGELES, November 12, 2007 � FX has picked up its critically acclaimed drama series Damages for an additional two seasons ordering 26 episodes from KZK Productions, Sony Pictures Television and FX Productions, announced FX President and General Manager John Landgraf.

"FX is proud of our status as a leader in fostering bold, high quality scripted programming," said Landgraf. "We commend Todd A. Kessler, Glenn Kessler, Daniel Zelman and their magnificent cast, headed by Glenn Close, with pulling off this hugely ambitious series and establishing Damages as one of the best dramas on American television.�
"We and Sony Pictures Television have a history, also spanning The Shield (with FTVS) and Rescue Me, of nurturing such programming together, and we thank them for their continued support. We're enormously pleased to announce jointly that the fans of Damages will be able to enjoy the series for at least two more seasons."
"To be able to tell 26 more hours of mind blowing stories with Todd A. Kessler, Daniel Zelman and Glenn Kessler is an incredible position to be in. FX has continually shown enormous support for both this show and for Sony and it's evident in this extended renewal," said Jamie Erlicht, Co-President, Programming and Production, Sony Pictures Television. "This group has mastered the art of storytelling with a show that continually raises the bar with each and every episode.

We also owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to Jamie Erlicht and Zack Van Amburg at Sony Pictures Television for being such first-class partners and steadfast champions of our series."
Damages recently concluded its first season in magnificent fashion in settling the Frobisher case as well as the mystery of who murdered Ellen Parson�s fianc�e, David Connor, while brilliantly setting the table for season two.
In addition to universally acclaimed performances by Close, Rose Byrne and Ted Danson, performances of supporting stars Tate Donovan, Zeljko Ivanek, Michael Nouri, Philip Bosco, Anastasia Griffith, Noah Bean, Peter Riegert and Peter Facinelli also drew high praise.
Close, Byrne and Donovan are currently signed on as series regulars for season two.

Five plays that could have changed the current course of CSU's season
How thin is the line between Colorado State's current 3-5 record and one that could have been 4-4, 5-3 or better?
Razor thin.
Colorado State starts a stretch run of football games this week at home against San Diego State. It cannot change the previous month of games where a considerable number of shortcomings have left it desperately seeking solutions to get back on track.
These are by no means the only ones, but had this group of plays gone CSU's way, the conversation of coach Steve Fairchild's status beyond this season and all of the things that ail the Rams right now probably would have taken a back seat.

Know any Good Lullabyes a Daddy can Sing?
A Fox Went Out on a Chilly Night…., originally uploaded by tadnkat.
The video above is from almost a year ago, when Mackenzie was only 3 days old, and on our first night home I was singing to her in an attempt to put her to sleep. She instead was watching me interestedly, and didn't end up going to sleep until much later, but we at least got to share a pretty precious moment together as father & daughter.
I unfortunately got the idea in my head though, that she doesn't go to sleep when I sing to her, so I've barely tried to sing her to sleep since then. But tonight, she was climbing all over the bed (climbing on EVERYTHING, really) so I gave it another whirl and sang her "A Fox Went Out on a Chilly Night". She fell asleep during the last verse. It was just too precious, and was another one of those awesome father-daughter things where she was beaming at me all the way until her eyelids fell down and she went to sleep.
Now, while that was indeed wonderful — I'm in a bind. What other great songs are there that a daddy can sing as a lullaby? Good, memorable folk tunes would be best — i.e. not just Metallica's One sung softly. 🙂 Definitely am open for suggestions.

In our 'Countdown to COP19', we take a look back at videos that offer solutions to climate change challenges. The documentary 'Rivers Uniting Borders/Rios Que Unen Fronteras' is one of them.
This video highlights how water cooperation across international borders helps people come together to solve environmental challenges, link local knowledge to national action, and empower communities with knowledge and know-how.
As Christiana Figueres, UNFCCC Executive Secretary stated during her recent speech at Chatham House in London, "The Warsaw COP needs to change the narrative that we have created over time. We need to leave Warsaw with a dominant narrative of constructive engagement on climate action. That is why the secretariat is using Warsaw as a platform to showcase action that is already occurring".
And action is happening. Through the IUCN BRIDGE project, grassroots communities, women groups, champions networks, and others, are getting together to cooperate and coordinate work in order to tackle deforestation, pollution, floods and droughts in their river basins, linking the work to regional institutions and higher levels in government and at transboundary level. Together strong collaborations are formed to fix issues on the ground now, as well as be better prepared for risk and changes in the future.
