Amazing figures for Farrell.

Don't say an economy of less than 1 too much...
Interesting parallel beween the two bowling performances is that the wickets have all been shared between three out of the seven bowlers used... so far, at least.
EDIT: And that wicket doesn't do any harm to her figures...
EDIT 2: Haynes is having quite a debut, 1/0 to go with the 98.

Great little knock by Laura Marsh, last pair adding 59 so far to take us close to the Aussie total.
Looks like scoring quickly hasn't been easy, so It will be a challenge for Australia to set England a target. England not likely to be that enthusiastic in chasing because they only need to draw to retain the Ashes so you'd expect Australia are going to have to do all the running.
I don't see how it's going to become anything other than a minority sport if no-one shows it or reports it. I've looked high and low on the net for places showing it in London or for TV channels showing it and found nothing (but lots for the Men's), and there is also hardly anything reported about it in the press. It's rubbish! Anyway... what's the score now?
Should be a very interesting last day. With Rolton and Blackwell in, and actually scoring some runs this time, they have the chance to press on and set England a total to chase. And there's some quality batting after them; the likes of Sthalekar, Fields, Poulton, Haynes, Ebsary and Perry can all bat. And Rene Farrell's not bad either...
Really looking forward to it.
Also, congratulations to Karen Rolton for reaching 1000 Test runs as well. Just the 10th person to get there, and at an average of 58.94, so very impressive.
OK, so England need 273 to win, with lunch in five minutes. Should be interesting.
Suprised the Aussies didn't give us a few overs before lunch, given that they are the ones that need to win.
Not saying I agree with their decision though.

Our dear Leslie was supposed to do Movie Night tonight, but after a few minutes of writing she sent this message:
Leslie Horn wags you can do movie night beucase i DONT remember what hepepend in jumangi i guess
So no Jumangi for you, I guess. Captain America is way better anyway, although I still to this day get freaked out thinking about when that little weird kid turned into some kind of rat-monkey-monster. But seriously, the first half of Captain America might be the best Marvel movie that's been made. Then it crams what would have been a really amazing miniseries into the last 40 minutes and I started drinking heavily. [Netflix]

Is it true that a former president of USMS actually scolded the house of delegates because they were not in favor of adding 25 yard events to the official event list?
Is it true that a former president of USMS actually scolded the house of delegates because they were not in favor of adding 25 yard events to the official event list?
On this particular issue I recall a former president being publicly upset by the fact that it required a two-thirds majority to pass an amendment of the 25s rule. He mistakenly believed that it was because the committee didn't recommend the rule, but in actual fact ANY amendment from the floor that wasn't considered by the committee would have required a two-thirds majority unless the HOD recessed and the committee convened to consider and approve the recommendation. My advice to those in favor of the last-minute amendment would have been to make it earlier and bring it up to the committee for consideration (though they likely would not have endorsed it, I admit).
It is true that the rule itself would have required 2/3 to pass b/c it was not recommended by the committee of jurisdiction (i.e. Rules). That's how the system works -- and has for some time -- and if the HOD doesn't like that then there is a chance to change that next year since it is a legislation year.
An excellent explanation Chris! Our rules for amending the USMS rules (see http://www.usms.org/rules/part6.pdf ) can seem quite confusing. But, they are in place for a reason and they do work.
As for scolding from current and former presidents, I guess this is a good lesson that what we say and how we say it really does make a difference in our service to Masters Swimming.
For what its worth, if we were talking 25K instead of 25Y the House of Delegates may have seen a different former president speechifying at the microphone. We all have our passions for our sport and sometimes we forget to place a filter in front of our words and tone.
The opinions expressed in the above post are mine and not those of U.S. Masters Swimming.
Eating and running was definitely justified. I saw several folks jump up and leave after the Masters presentation at the USAS banquet. That one is harder to blame; it was 9:30 and some people have early bedtimes and early flights.
these words belong to jeff strahota only
What one person call a "scolding", another person may regard as a passionate speech.
Many people called it a scolding. Passion begins and ends with a plea for action, not a reprimand. Actually, two past presidents could be said to have done the scolding, one during the discussion, one after the voting was finished.
I was sad to have witnessed this, but not entirely surprised. It is certainly not a turning point, but I don't think it is a good path to follow.
The passion should be to convince that house that the resolution/legislation/rule is good for everyone and good for USMS, and why. In the case of the 25 yard events, it is pretty clear that most of the house has already decided that it is not necessary to make the events official. In fact, if we had passed the rule, it would almost certainly worked contrary to its stated rationale, that of attracting new members. Perhaps it would have attracted some lightning fast sprinters looking to set records, but it currently does a pretty good job of introducing very new members to the competition side of USMS without the pressure of standards or records. Just fun. This is supposed to be fun, isn't it?
The opinions expressed in the above post are mine, not those of U.S. Masters Swimming. But maybe they should be.
Ha ha Betsy, very true.
Sounds rude to me but maybe it was just as rude to let the presentation go on too long, causing inconvenience to others.

Adolescents in states with strict laws regulating the sale of snacks and sugary drinks in public schools gained less weight over a three-year period than those living in states with no such laws, a new study has found.
The study, published Monday in Pediatrics, found a strong association between healthier weight and tough state laws regulating food in vending machines, snack bars and other venues that were not part of the regular school meal programs. Such snacks and drinks are known as competitive foods, because they compete with school breakfasts and lunches.
The conclusions are likely to further stoke the debate over what will help reduce obesity rates, which have been rising drastically in the United States since the 1980s. So far, very little has proved effective and rates have remained stubbornly high. About a fifth of American children are obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Public health experts have urged local and state governments to remove competitive foods from schools, and in recent years states have started to pass laws that restrict their sale, either banning them outright or setting limits on the amount of sugar, fat or calories they contain.
The study tracked weight changes for 6,300 students in 40 states between 2004 and 2007, following them from fifth to eighth grade. They used the results to compare weight change over time in states with no laws regulating such food against those in states with strong laws and those with weak laws.
Researchers used a legal database to analyze state laws. Strong laws were defined as those that set out detailed nutrition standards. Laws were weak if they merely offered recommendations about foods for sale, for example, saying they should be healthy but not providing specific guidelines.
The study stopped short of saying the stronger laws were directly responsible for the better outcomes. It concluded only that such outcomes tended to happen in states with stronger laws, but that the outcomes were not necessarily the result of those laws. However, researchers added that they controlled for a number of factors that would have influenced outcomes.
Still, the correlation was substantial, researchers said, suggesting that the laws might be a factor. Students who lived in states with strong laws throughout the entire three-year period gained an average of 0.44 fewer body mass index units, or roughly 2.25 fewer pounds for a 5-foot-tall child, than adolescents in states with no policies.
The study also found that obese fifth graders who lived in states with stronger laws were more likely to reach a healthy weight by the eighth grade than those living in states with no laws. Students exposed to weaker laws, however, had weight gains that were not different from those of students in states with no laws at all.
The authors argued that the study offered evidence that local policies could be effective tools.
"Competitive-food laws can have an effect on obesity rates if the laws are specific, required and consistent," said Daniel Taber, a fellow at the Institute for Health Research and Policy at the University of Illinois at Chicago, who was one of the authors of the study.
Still, many states have no laws at all regulating the sale of such foods, and the group that helped finance the study, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, argued that the results made the case for a strong national standard for snacks and beverages in schools. The United States Department of Agriculture has been developing new standards for some time, but they have yet to emerge.
Some experts argue that a real reduction in the obesity rate will come only when many more local governments adopt tough policies to change the food environment. Still others say that school is such a small part of a child's day that healthier options will make little difference when coupled with a home environment with a lot of unhealthy choices.

"My Ideas always work sometimes"
Today was a great day. My little box of goodies showed up. Some of you may not believe this but Tuesday I made an offer on an eBay action for a picco max .26 with "3 tanks of fuel ran", a 3.3 with "1 gallon", and another 3.3 with "2 gallons" ran through them. All of these came complete with ez-starts, headers, pipes, flywheels, carbs, clutches, pinion gears (various sizes), and motor saver air filters! Now I won this bid on eBay for $225!!
I cleaned up the "2 gallon" motor first and it ran just fine. The "1 gallon" motor ran like a champ! I just got in from running the picco and holy freakin smokes!! No way that motor was finished with breakin! I will start breakin from scratch with it tomorrow and start tuning.
For those of you non-eBay shoppers.....these are the type deals that CAN be had!! I am STOKED!! Now have 3 motors for price of one with extra's. Perfect timing since today I won another auction for a tmaxx roller.........now which truck do I put the picco in.........
Warned to not use symbols..........
I started having issues with the picco. The 3.3's ran great this past weekend but the picco will launch like mad but falls immediately on its face and dies. Lean, rich, factory needle settings, however I set it up same result! I have racked my brain on that picco to no result. Going to disassemble the carb and replace all seals and see how that does. I really want to get this one tuned in soon, I have an ERCM pipe on its way for it. Anyone ever had this happen?
Warned to not use symbols..........
I took it out for a little run....killing time waiting for my compressor to air up. I apologize for the crappy video I was trying to record and drive at the same time. I have a 1 1/2 gallons threw this engine using byrons 30.
"My Ideas always work sometimes"
You think it is internal? I haven't cracked the motor open yet, I just seems sooooooo strong on the bottom that I can't believe that I might have an internal issue. I have not ran it with the rebuilt carb, that will have to wait till Friday when I can take some time off. Maybe I'll post a video of that run and get everyone's thoughts.
Warned to not use symbols..........
Gene, it sounds like the carb. But I'm just saying that since you got it second hand, and you already have it out and the carb off, maybe it would be worthwhile to tear it down and inspect the internals, just in case. At least you will know that everything is cool in there, then you can seal it up when you are done with some Lucky 7 or whatever you choose and prevent air leaks in the future. It only takes a few minutes but that is just my opinion. Hopefully it will just be the carb and it will run awesome. I had a OS engine one time that was doing weird things and after I about tore my hair out trying to figure it out and did about everything else I finally found the rear bearing was shot. It would run great then flame out then run fine, then not start, etc...arghhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Took the tranny apart and put a RR wide set of Gears, RR slipper clutch, and Arcer bearings.
Instated a set of P-3 rockers and Blue springs in the rear and Silver in the front with 50w oil.
First impressions are good since I can drop it from about eye level without it bottoming out and I'm 6'4".
As a basher I don't like the LT Rockers and sway bars that came with the 3.3 I bought used and now I'm thinking about getting a set of P-3's to replace the P-1's on my trusty ol' 2.5r.
Never seems to end with this hobby lol.

UPS delivered my parts today I had sent off to get anodized. Parts look great, but I'm not so sure about the orange RPM arms now.

First off, JK, that looks Freaking Great man!!! I wouldn't change anything!!! I will soon be contacting you to get your anodizer's info. I want a flat black chassis myself. I have a top kick body I am working on now that having a black chassis would look great with. The orange is cool man!
I FINALLY got this picco max figured out with side blow exhaust! Thanks to TNT Hobby in Plano for all of their help & creativity with seals, headers, and pipe bending. Ran 4 tanks yesterday evening and holy cow! Its a totally different REVO. Had to change up the gearing to 18/36 and really tune in the BUKU clutch to dial in the power delivery. Even with the center, it will wheelie like a brushless off the line and then under full throttle shift to 2nd, nice little 3-4" power wheelies!!!
Wll be installing the ERCM pipe when it arrives next week and see how much more power I can get out of this thing!!

Took the ol' 2.5r out for a thrash on our unofficial figure 8 track.

Thanks. I'm going to drop a JL red dot in there, I only wish I could have bought a black THS pipe. I might through some high temp paint on the pipe and see how that works 'cause I think the polished pipe will stick out like a sore thumb.
What mount is that you have on your truck? I need a better mount with some adjustability for the picco.

I wanted to put a really cool signature but I ran
I think the orange a arms grew on me, I think they look good now that I've started putting things back together.
What kind of rims are those?
Revo 2.5r, Slayer Pro 4x4 Picco .26 max.
Those are axial rims that where chrome, but I stripped off the chrome and dyed them black and had the bead locks anodized orange.
Reamed out a bunch of holes in the windshield on my body. My temps were about 15-20 degrees hotter with the lid on.
Lipo'd and Nitro'd - J-Rod
I like the orange BTW. How did you get orange RPM arms? Did they come that way or did you dye them somehow?
Lipo'd and Nitro'd - J-Rod
Wow! Great color!!!!
Tore it completely apart and cleaned it from head to toe. Inspected it for any damage after purchasing used.
This truck is insanely clean! I think he bought it, rolled it back and forth in the dirt and sold it to me! YEA!!!
I'll have it back together tonight.....VVVRRRRRRRRROOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!
look is look really good jk6672 ,that orange and black is killer
My picco is the .26max. Not the red dot. I need a mount with some adjustability so I can tune the gearing in. Right now, all I can run is the 18/36 I have on there now, Anymore gear, i cannot adjust for mesh.
Any recommendations out there for a mount?
Warned to not use symbols..........
@JK .. I like that black chassis it hides the rx box and miscellaneous plastics. I would dye the dust boot covers and paint the rubber seals on your rocker bearings with a black paint marker, when their off of the bearings themselves of course.
"My Ideas always work sometimes"
I cleaned up my Revo from the Track on monday! I forgot how much fun R/C's are! Video coming later!
Learn by doing
Holy cow that is outstanding!!
My ERCM pipe showed up today. Bolted on stock 3.3 with 15/40 gearing, stock trans, and tuned. 50+mph top speed and wheelies on command.
Warned to not use symbols..........
I moved the side pipe under the rollbar to keep it better protected and make things neater in anticipation of getting a proline slipstream body for a e revo. That will keep trimming it to a minimum around this big block. I gotta say I'm ashamed of posting these pics after seeing that nice orange black revo above. Lol

The dirtbonz are the best tires ever....
Good to hear because I just picked up a set from a eBay chop shop for 27 bucks to my door. Are they light? I hear the terra pins are extremely light for their size but I don't want a tire that big. Do the dirt bonz wear out quick if ran on pavement?

The understanding of the laws and code of conduct of Islam is something that has constantly been evolving throughout Islamic history. The first generations of Muslims after the Prophet ﷺ had a much easier time understanding what is expected out of them as Muslims because they had access to the Sahaba, the companions of the Prophet ﷺ. As history progressed, however, a need arose to codify Islamic laws into organized and easy to access law codes.
The first person who undertook this monumental task was the great scholar Imam Abu Hanifa. Through his efforts, the first school of fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence), the Hanafi school, developed. Today, the Hanafi school is the largest and most influential among the four schools (madhabs) of fiqh.
Early Life and Education
Abu Hanifa's given name was Nu'man ibn Thabit. He was born in 699 in the Iraqi city of Kufa, to a family of Persian origin. His father, Thabit, was a successful businessman in Kufa and thus the young Abu Hanifa intended to follow in his father's footsteps. Living under the oppressive reign of the governor of Iraq, al-Hajjaj ibn Yusuf, Abu Hanifa stayed focused on running the family silk-making business and generally steered clear of scholarship. With the death of al-Hajjaj in 713 came the removal of oppressive policies regarding scholars, and Islamic scholarship soared in Kufa, especially during the reign of Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz (717-720).
Thus, by his teenage years, Abu Hanifa began to study under some of the resident scholars of Kufa. He even got the opportunity to meet between eight and ten companions of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, among them Anas ibn Malik, Sahl ibn Sa'd, and Jabir ibn Abdullah. After learning from some of the greatest scholars of Kufa, he went on to study in Makkah and Madinah under numerous teachers, namely Ata ibn Abu Rabah, who was known as one of the greatest scholars of Makkah at the time.
He soon became an expert in the sciences of fiqh (jurisprudence), tafsir (exegesis of the Quran), and kalam (seeking theological knowledge through debate and reason). In fact, the concept of using debate and logic became a cornerstone of his methodology for seeking Islamic laws.
His School of Fiqh
Imam Abu Hanifa was a firm believer that a code of laws cannot stay static for too long, at the risk of no longer meeting the needs of the people. Thus he advocated interpreting the sources of Islamic law (usul al-fiqh) in response to the needs of the people at the time. This dynamic form of legalism did not supersede the Quran and Sunnah (sayings and doings of the Prophet ﷺ), of course. Instead, he promoted the use of the Quran and Sunnah to derive laws that addressed the issues that people dealt with at that time.
A major aspect of his methodology was the use of debate to derive rulings. He would commonly pose a legal issue to a group of about 40 of his students, and challenge them to come up with a ruling based on the Quran and Sunnah. Students would at first attempt to find the solution in the Quran, if it was not clearly answered in the Quran, they would turn to the Sunnah, and if it was not there, they would use reason to find a logical solution.
Abu Hanifa based this methodology on the example when Prophet Muhammad ﷺ sent Mu'adh ibn Jabal to Yemen and asked him how he will resolve issues using Islamic law. Mu'adh responded that he would look into the Quran, then the Sunnah, and if he does not find a direct solution there, he would use his best judgement, an answer that Muhammad ﷺ was pleased with.
Using such a process for codifying fiqh, the Hanafi madhab (school of law) was thus founded, based on the rulings of Imam Abu Hanifa, and his prominent students, Abu Yusuf, Muhammad al-Shaybani, and Zuffar.
His Legacy
Numerous times throughout his later life, Abu Hanifa was offered a position as a chief judge in the city of Kufa. He consistently refused such appointments and thus found himself regularly imprisoned by both the Umayyad and later, the Abbasid authorities. He died in the year 767 while in prison.
A masjid was built in his honor in Baghdad years later, and was renovated in the Ottoman period by the monumental architect Mimar Sinan.
His school of law became very popular in the Muslim world not long after his death. As the official madhab of the Abbasid, Mughal, and Ottoman Empires, his school became very influential throughout the Muslim world. Today, it is very popular in Turkey, Syria, Iraq, the Balkans, Egypt, and the Indian Subcontinent.

Should This Be Against the Law in Berkeley?
These sidewalk-sitters were enjoying the warm weather on Tuesday at Berkeley's South West Farmer's Market. Tyler, seated with his back to the side wall of Sweet Adeline's Bakery at the corner of 63rd and Adeline, is a tourist, in town from San Diego. We didn't get the name of the family resting on the curb in the same block, but they were clearly having a good time too. If Measure S passes, all of these satisfied market patrons would be subject to citation and possible arrest for the crime of sitting on the sidewalk in a commercial district. Some measure backers claim that such a law would be enforced selectively, but guess what? That's probably unconstitutional, and would certainly provoke lawsuits to test it.

We've tested various products from Swiss manufacturer Sponser Sport Food, mostly aimed at providing energy during a ride. Sponser Recovery Shake, as the name suggests, is designed for use after a ride, with a mix of proteins and carbohydrates plus various minerals and vitamins to help your muscles rebuild and recover.
As with most recovery drinks, Sponser Recovery Shake comes in powder form which you then mix with water or milk. The main ingredients include whey protein, sucrose, fructose, skimmed milk powder and maltodextrin. The ingredient list also includes protein hydrolysates (effectively proteins that have gone through a process to make them easier to absorb) which in this product are derived from potato, egg and casein (from milk).
The energy content of 100g of Recovery Shake power is 375kcal or 1590 kJ, of which carbs make up 70g, proteins 22g, fibre 2.5g and fat 0.6g. The packaging on the tub recommends mixing 40g of power with 300ml of milk, to create a recovery drink providing 250 kcal and around 40g of carb and 18g of protein. This gives a carb-to-protein ratio of almost 2:1.
As you might expect, the texture and taste is very much like a 'normal' milkshake, although not as sweet and very slightly bitter. This shake is available in banana, chocolate and vanilla flavours. We tested the banana flavour. Mixed with milk, it's very pleasant and refreshing, and easy to drink after a 100-mile sportive or an intensive interval session on the rollers.
Looking at price, a 800g tub of powder (enough for twenty drinks using the recommended 40g serving) costs £20 from the Sponser Uk website. Not cheap at first glance, but this compares well against similar products like SIS Rego Rapid Recovery with whey (where a 1600g tub of powder making 30 drinks with a 7:4 carb-to-protein mix costs £48) and for Goodness Shakes Recovery Drink (where a 1440g tub of powder making twenty 500ml drinks with a 3:1 carb-to-protein mix costs £32).
Specifically-designed recovery drinks are not essential (after a long ride you can help your muscles rebuild and recover by stretching properly and eating something like a bowl of muesli) but they can help you benefit more from training and improve your overall performance, so on that basis I'd recommend Sponser Recovery Shake as well worth adding to your nutritional armoury.
Recovery drink with a mix of proteins and carbohydrates to help rebuild muscles after exertion. Nice-tasting and reasonably priced too.

Tell us what the product is for, and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it?
This product is a recovery drink, designed to help muscles recover and repair after exertion. The Sponser Uk website highlights these advantages: 'Supports all aspects of recovery: Glycogen replacement, muscle repair and rebuilding, and immune system reinforcement; Combines a variety of high quality proteins and carbohydrates for immediate and longer term recovery; Enriched with vitamins and minerals; Works well served hot or cold!'
Tell us some more about the technical aspects of the product?
The Sponser Uk website goes on to say: 'Sponser Recovery Shake is a balanced combination of carbohydrates, high quality proteins and essential vitamins and minerals. Sponser Recovery Shake is based on both casein and whey proteins which are released at different rates, so there is a constant supply of protein available for immediate muscle repair and for later muscle building. These concentrated, high quality (25% BCAA) and natural proteins support muscle growth and the immune system. Calcium caseinate also supplies easily absorbable calcium and provides a prolonged flow of amino acids, which increases protein synthesis. At the same time, the short, medium, and long chain carbohydrates ensure a staggered release of energy and increase glycogen storage. Sponser Recovery Shake's unique formula both raises the amino acid and glucose concentration in the blood and improves the ability of cells to absorb them, encouraging faster muscle repair, faster glycogen replacement and a faster recovery.'
Unlike energy products, where you can more easily gauge performance, it's hard to tell if a recovery product is working or not. However, it is possible to confirm that the taste and texture are very good and this drink has no ill-effects on the stomach.
Recovery drinks are not cheap compared to carb-only energy drinks, and Sponser Recovery Shake is good value compared to similar products from other manufacturers.
Did you enjoy using the product? Yes.
Would you consider buying the product? Yes.
Would you recommend the product to a friend? Yes.
Anything further to say about the product in conclusion?
Although it's hard to gauge just how much muscles might be recovering after drinking this product compared to similar drinks from other manufacturers, we can definitely say the ingredients list ticks all the boxes. This drink is nice-tasting and reasonably priced too, so earns a score of 8.

Delicious for a light dinner on a hot summer night. I don't like raw squash so I substituted diced cucumber for the zucchini and yellow squash. I served it with bakery-fresh croissants.

Very nice and I love all the veggies, but there was no WOW factor to it.

I made this last night and we all loved it. From now on this will be a go to for leftover spaghetti!I think the addition of black olives, ham, and diced radishes and celery would be nice add on's
Sep 2, 2012
Wonderful taste, easy to make. I make the day before and let it sit to get more flavor. Made this a second time and used elbow noodles and different cheese and added different stuff, still turned out wonderful
Jul 9, 2010
Excellent salad! A hit with the group I made it for! I used whole wheat spaghetti-delicious-and will break the spaghetti in half before cooking next time to make it a little easier to serve. I'll be looking for reduced fat cheese to help cut the fat a little, but this is a great fresh-tasting salad!

CHARLOTTETOWN - Fire investigators in Charlottetown worked into the night Saturday, sifting through the charred remains of a vacant building where three bodies were discovered earlier in the day.
The small, green structure had been home to a number of businesses in the past, including a used car dealership and a golf driving range, but police said it had been vacant for a number of years, and the windows and doors were boarded-up after some vandalism last summer.
Greg Aitken, who lives across the street, was awakened by his wife around 5:30 a.m. after she saw flames coming from the back of the structure.
He said the flames were just in one corner, but spread quickly.
"Within five to ten minutes about half the building was engulfed," he said.
Another neighbour, Reggie Jameson, said he woke up after hearing sirens and looked out his window to find the vacant building was on fire.
"Just one corner of the building, you could see a little bit of flames," said Jameson in a phone interview from his home on Saturday. "Within two to five minutes the whole building was engulfed.
"It just kept getting worse and worse as more fire engines showed up."
The Charlottetown Police Service said an officer on patrol in the area came across the fire and an injured male.
Deputy Chief Gary McGuigan said the man told the officer that there could be more people inside the building.
"The officer went to the building and attempted to enter but was pushed back by the intense heat and smoke," said McGuigan.
The injured male was airlifted to a hospital in Halifax.
McGuigan said after the fire was extinguished roughly two hours later, the three bodies were found inside.
Jameson, 24, said he could see flames shooting out of the building from every direction.
He said when he learned that three people died in the fire, it came as a shock because the building is abandoned and was boarded up.
"There's no power hook ups to it, there's nothing. There's three feet of snow in front of it," said Jameson, who has lived near the building for about two years. "It never occurred to me that anyone was inside."
But Jameson said he has occasionally seen flashlights and heard people talking inside the building late at night, but usually only during the summer.
Aitken said he hadn't seen any tracks in the snow around the building and was surprised to learn anyone was inside.
There had been graffiti painted in three sides of the building. Aitken said it had been there since last summer.
The building is located behind the busy Charlottetown Mall, and McGuigan said there is a lot of young pedestrian traffic in the area.
The fire completely gutted the single-storey structure and part of the roof near the rear of the building had collapsed.
Police said investigators were working to identify the victims and determine the cause of the fire.
McGuigan said he knew there was much discussion on social media about the possible identities of the victims and injured male, but said police would not confirm any names until after autopsies to be performed in Charlottetown on Sunday.
He did say it was believed that all the victims were young.
As of Saturday evening, McGuigan said police had not been able to speak with the injured male, but hoped to get a statement from him soon.

Post subject: simmering in the oven
Recipes for many soups, stews, etc., call for the pot to be brought to a boil, and the heat then reduced to a slow simmer for several hours. Since simmer is just below boiling, is there any reason you couldn't take the pot and put it in a preheated oven immediately after it comes to a boil (so it starts out hot)? I am sure the answer is no, there is no reason, because I have done it.
My question is this. Assume the only uncooked food in the pot is vegetable (i.e., any meat is already fully cooked). Since at really any temperature there is no risk of burning or boiling over in the oven, in theory does it make any difference at what temperature you set the oven, or is it just a function of how long it will take? Is there a temperature that is too high, or too low, for this purpose?

No; this is how Pot Roast is cooked and is otherwise called 'braising'.

Well, assuming the pot is covered (not pressure-sealed or anything), the temperature should be at least 200F which is a simmer (and a fast simmer), and not more than about 350 just because you want the liquid to stay in the vessel for the most part. The liquid will keep everything in contact with it at around 212F, of course, but the steam has license to get as hot as it wants, and if the steam gets hot enough, the steam pressure will lift the lid and the liquid will depart. You don't want all the liquid to leave in the case of a braise, but at the same time, you don't want everything to be immersed in a braise. A braise is great for breaking down firm vegetables and tough cuts of meat, but less liquid concentrates the flavor and all that.

I would not raise much more than 212F. You have less risk of making a mess in your oven and the lower the temp of the braise the more tender your meat (or whatever) will be. It just takes longer.

Post subject: Re: simmering in the oven
If its liquid , you can do anything .
You can simmer at 50 watts or
serious cookin at 1000 watts .
Sphagetti , rice especially .
BUT if it has NOT extra water , you're outa luck
for the heat leak from sides/top will scorch the bottom .
I can't find pots with lots of insulation to mimic
a small oven . Ovens can allways be forced to cook evenly .
Heat leak is an open pan that is hot only bottom .
The fans in new ovens arent absolutely needed .
But id like to see the new I.R elements as they have
on the range ! The problem is the old material
lasts long time , but the CLEAR fused silica can
die sooner. Halogen light bulbs work same .
I am traveling , can't afford a kitchen .
Try to use Asian rice cookers ! Heat leak
above the bottom is too much , even with top
closed , i can't cook much .
Teflon helps because it can't stick . Without T' it
would gum up the whole bottom .
I tried a new kind of glass cooker ( big glass bowl
with a top that has a single heater element and a fan .
But mine is a halogen ring ( like halogen lamp )
and you get "broil" function , in 3 seconds ! It lights
up my room ! Its a 1000 watt light bulb .
But heat leak is still so bad thru the glass , i must add
alum foil inside and drop a glass bowl into the big
bowl to brown my spuds / hash browns .
Now if i could get it to tumble , the food
would not stick !!
i don't trust the TV cooks with their
open fry pans . the heat is uneven unless deep
oil ! You always cook safer with even heat .
Then at end , for appearance , you broil to
brown it !
Like oven pizza . I calc the bake time , then broil
to brown/bring out the peperroni oils .
Ovens heat evenly if you have insulation below
the food . Alum pans passes too much heat to the food .
glass works good
This makes the heat come from air and conduction
thru the bottom , so its more even .
Ovens can do anything .
A perfect small oven is 14 inches round , 8 inches tall
A window in the top .
all elements are fuzed quartz / silica and
a small fan . And highly insulated to not heat
the counter top
No one makes it .

Project Scope
This project will define technical capabilities that the Internet must provide in order to support a variety of medical applications. It will identify likely health care applications of the Internet; examine their demands for such characteristics as bandwidth, quality of service, security, and access; and recommend an appropriate strategy for implementing these capabilities in future instantiations of the Internet. An attempt will be made to distinguish those capabilities that are unique to health care applications from those more generally demanded of the Internet.

Victim of Osceola flasher: "He's dangerous"
Victim, 15, says flasher seemed "very angry"
OSCEOLA COUNTY, Fla. – As deputies continue to search for a man exposing himself to young girls, one of his victims spoke with Local 6 to warn others that he may be more dangerous than a simple flasher.
The 15-year-old victim thinks she was targeted because she was walking alone. Now, she's too scared to be identified, and always walks in pairs, because she fears the suspect lives nearby and could come back.
The latest three cases happened within a mile of each other in a neighborhood just west of Orange Blossom Trail in Kissimmee, but deputies are investigating to see if he may be linked to other flashings.
"I was scared. I was in shock. I didn't know what to do. I started walking really fast," said the victim as she recalls crying at her friend's house moments after she ran from a flasher.
She helped deputies make a sketch of the man she said tried to lure her to his car and exposed himself.
"He ended up pulling the car back, he acted like he was going to get out of the car and start chasing me and then he drove off," she said. "He could have taken me in the car and I don't know what would have happened to me after that."
It's the third time in just a few weeks that deputies said the man has targeted young girls in the neighborhood. So far, none of the victims have been injured.
"He looked very angry," she said. "He's dangerous and he's obviously doing it to other girls because he did it to my friend and he did it to my sibling."
She said the victims have one thing in common, each were walking alone.
"Honestly, I'm not going to feel safe until they catch him," she said. "They need to catch him and they need to put him where he needs to be and that is in jail."
Deputies released two sketches of the suspect, but Local 6 uncovered other very similar sketches of a flasher from unsolved cases near the area last year. Deputies are investigating to see if it's all related.
The suspect has been seen driving two different vehicles; a dark green 4-door sedan, possibly a Honda, or a white 4-door sedan.

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill., April 29 (UPI) -- Fueled by the fashion trend of sleeveless dresses, arm lifts in U.S. women increased more than 4,000 percent in about a decade, plastic surgeons say.
Statistics released by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons showed plastic surgeons reported doing 300 arm lifts in 2000, but almost 15,500 arm lifts in 2011. Ninety-eight percent of arm lift procedures were performed on middle-age women.
Dr. Gregory Evans, president of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, said upper arm lifts -- which cost an average of $4,000 -- include liposuction or a surgical procedure known as brachioplasty, in which loose skin is removed from the back of the arm.
A brachioplasty involves an incision from the elbow to underarm, generally on the back of the arm, leaving a visible and permanent scar.
Patients should carefully consider the pros and cons before having an upper arm lift, particularly a brachioplasty, said Dr. David Reath, chairman of the ASPS public education committee.
"It's a trade off," Reath said. "We get rid of the skin, but we leave a scar."

Strengthening action to improve feeding of infants and young children 6-23 months of age in nutrition and child health programmes
Report of proceedings, Geneva, 6-9 October 2008
Appropriate breastfeeding and complementary feeding are among the most effective interventions to promote child health, growth and development. In the past decades, the evidence for essential actions to promote exclusive breastfeeding has been strengthened considerably. More recently, progress has been made in defining standards for complementary feeding. However, the process of translating these standards into specific policies and programmatic actions is less well developed.
WHO and UNICEF organized an informal meeting to fill this gap. This report summarizes the proceedings of the meeting and provides operational guidance for policy-makers and programme managers on how to improve complementary feeding, in the context of the implementation of the "Global Strategy for Infant and Young Child Feeding."

Address the US Digital Divide in the Cost of Wireless
Posted in: Digital Divide at 12/04/2011 14:05
Too often, broadband policy is talked about in terms of "access" to providers, as if making a broadband option available is enough. But in a speech at the Free Press conference, FCC Commissioner Mignon Clyburn made it clear the issue has to include cost as well:
In considering all of the factors relating to America's minority and lower-income citizens, and realizing how hard people work to claw past their monthly bills only to immediately start fretting about next month, we must be vigilant - super-vigilant - about the direction the wireless industry is heading.
Many people hope that wireless phones can become an access point for many low-income folks to the Internet, but cost is one of the biggest obstacles to that goal. The Pew Internet & American Life Project has highlighted in a past report that even if high-speed Internet service was available to the entire nation, about one-third of Americans not currently using broadband still wouldn't because of the expense.

During reunion weekend, Barnard gathered a group of distinguished alumnae from the publishing field to discuss new approaches to this competition. Willa Perlman '81, managing partner and founder of Ligature Partners, an executive search firm that specializes in the publishing and education fields, moderated the discussion. Panelists included Phyllis Eitingon Grann '58, senior editor at Doubleday (random house), Amy Hertz '85, books editor at the huffington Post and tangerine ink., Julia Cheiffetz '00, senior editor at harperstudio, and Carolyn sawyer o'Keefe '97, publicity manager at Little, Brown and Company.
Perlman opened the session with the headline question: "Does paper hold [its ground] or are e-readers the way forward?" All panelists agreed that the digital age has greatly impacted publishing. People are reading more than ever, although printed books will become a premium commodity, and publishers will see electronic books become a bigger part of business.
Grann acknowledged, "electronic delivery is the way of the future. Publishers who understand business have to be careful with the delivery of paper books, which will be reduced in half. the transition will be hard to get over. Publishing will follow what happened in the music business." O'Keefe commented: "We need to maintain profitability and think about a new business model," noting that publishers have traditionally relied on the prices of hardcover books to make their profits.
There are extra costs associated with digital content, and companies need to ensure electronic books are not pirated. "When everything is digital, everything is stealable," remarked Grann. "The younger generation doesn't look at it as theft."
Hertz added that the Huffington Post decided against a subscription model for its content, relying instead on advertising. She explained, "Young people are not used to paying for things." Publishing companies are also rethinking the traditional model in terms of huge art and editorial departments that only work on several projects per year. How does this change the role of publishers as they have less control over the content and process? The internet in general is offering more opportunities for writers to self-publish. The day may come when bestselling authors forgo a publisher to find their own markets. There are some authors who decide to first publish electronically with a site like Amazon. The digital book comes out first because distributors, not publishers, are more concerned with number of units sold than price. But, Cheiffetz noted that with the proliferation of online resources there is an even greater need for curators of content: "We need editors to nurture talent."
If what's inside a book still matters, what of its outside? Although e-books will still come with a book cover, these covers will have less impact and be less of a sales issue. Publishers who now pay for their paper printed book to be positioned at the front of stores will have their virtual products prominently displayed on the top of an iPad or on the homepage of booksellers' web sites.
After the discussion, several alumnae posed questions about what might be lost in the transition to e-books. Independent bookstores have already suffered. Known for their customer loyalty and for drawing attention to new authors, their future is "short," according to O'Keefe, "and those that survive must have a strong online presence." One participant observed the shift in our sense of browsing, in the bookstore, the library, even in the book itself. Said hertz, "electronic books are changing the way our brains work." Cheiffetz added, "our chance for discovery and serendipity takes another shape." In the end, Cheiffetz assuaged the audience's fears that technology will trump content: "it's still all about books and all about good storytelling. I'm concerned with the coffee, not the cup."

Bill Foster is Running for Re-Election as Mayor of St. Petersburg
Commentary by GH Khan
The nonpartisan race for Mayor of St. Petersburg matters, and the time has come for conservatives of all stripes to fully and without reservation back the re-election of Bill Foster for Mayor of St. Petersburg.
That is the message emerging from a series of polls that show Foster trailing challengers Kathleen Ford and Rick Kriseman in the run-up to the August 27 St. Petersburg primary. Conservatives need to set aside their disappointments with Foster over his often folksy, rather ambiguous, and sometimes downright mushy approach to many of the issues facing our fair city. In particular, conservatives will have to overlook His Honor's deficient leadership over issues surrounding The Pier.
This is a nonpartisan race with far-ranging consequences. The chief executive of Florida's third-largest city has influence far beyond City Hall, and far beyond the city limits. This means that the more conservative the mayor is the more favorable the political environment will be for conservatives and their ideas, and that is why this race matters to conservatives.
It is extremely unlikely at this point that any candidate in the mayor's race will receive the required 50% of the vote plus one to win the race in the August 27 St. Petersburg Primary, which means that there will be a November run-off between the two top vote getters. The two biggest threats to Foster's re-election are Ford and Kriseman. The other two candidates in the race, Anthony Cates and Paul Congemi, are unlikely to have any statistically significant impact on the race. Ford and Kriseman each show stronger polling strength than Foster, and Foster will have to beat at least one of them in the primary in order to be in the running in the November election. Kriseman, an unremarkable garden-variety liberal Democrat, is seen by some as more beatable by Foster in November than remarkable progressive Democrat Ford would be, making Ford the candidate Foster must best in the primary.
To know Bill Foster is to like him. The Mayor has done a lot of good campaigning to date, and has garnered a lot of important endorsements, but there is a lot more to be done. Foster needs to shore up his base and, to the extent possible, expand his appeal to other voters. He needs to send to voters a sharp, clear message of accomplishments and the path he will take to further accomplishments in his next term. He needs to define his candidacy and the issues of the election, and not cede the initiative to his challengers to define things for him: E.g., The Pier is only one of many issues facing St. Petersburg voters, and not the most important one in this election. No more muddled, ambiguous pandering that appeals to all and satisfies none. He needs to reconnect to social conservatives of all types, and not just the local Republican hierarchy (Foster is a Republican). He badly needs to repair his relationship with St. Petersburg's African-American community, which has a history of being very forgiving of political trespassing. He needs to raise a boatload of money and use it to saturate the available media with his improved message. Perhaps Foster also needs a new consultant, one who has an intimate understanding of the politics of The Burg and can generate a winning strategy that will get Foster through the primary and on to victory in November.
So, what's not to like about Ford?
Kathleen Ford has unsuccessfully run for Mayor of St. Petersburg twice previously, losing the first time to Rick Baker and losing the second time to Bill Foster. She has previously served on the City Council. Ford is presently riding a wave of notoriety arising from her litigation over The Pier. This will give her an edge with many of the voters who will be voting on The Pier in the August primary. This popularity is, however, very thin and is undercut by several of Ford's strong negatives. To know Kathleen Ford is to have strong feelings about her; indeed, one of the jokes going around town lately is that "Will Rogers never met Kathleen Ford."* Ford has been described as being self-righteous, condescending and rude to those who disagrees with her. She also has been criticized for being reluctant to admit when she is wrong, and being given to blame others for her failings, as when in her 2009 campaign for mayor she disingenuously tried to blame her use of the racially offensive term "HNIC" on the radio host who was interviewing her when she used it. It was this insensitivity and ignorance that earned Ford condemnation from distinguished St. Petersburg Times columnist Bill Maxwell and effectively destroyed her bid for mayor that year. Her overall judgment and competency as an attorney is also questionable in light of the debacle she made of her lawsuit against the City of St. Petersburg over the closing of The Pier, in which she made an ill-fated attempt to join as "indispensable parties" in the suit the more than 15,000 persons who signed the petition to get The Pier on the August ballot.
Ford also has been accused of being self-serving, and some have opined that Ford's initiation of this ill-fated lawsuit was just a gimmick to get her name in the press and heighten her visibility prior to her run for mayor. She also has been accused of being a loose cannon, which is one of the main reasons that the pro-abortion group Ruth's List Florida will not back her in this election, despite her credentials as a progressive.For conservatives, there is a lot about Ford to dislike. During the June 28 mayoral candidate debate sponsored by the NAACP, Ford prattled on about, among other things, the need for "affordable" (read: taxpayer-funded) housing, her opposition to police chases, and her belief in (Republican) voter suppression. In past elections Ford has been enthusiastically supported by the SEIU, the Suncoast Sierra Club, and the Florida National Organization of Women Political Action Committee. Ford can fairly be described as a pandering progressive who favors big government with an authoritarian bent, making it very unlikely that she would be willing to work with members of the City Council to forge the sort of consensus that allows city government to serve its citizens effectively.
There is not much time left for conservatives to get in the game. St. Petersburg has chosen not to do early voting, but voting by mail is an option. The deadline to mail ballots to overseas and absent military voters is July 13; the deadline to begin to mail ballots to domestic voters is July 23. The voter registration deadline is July 27. The polls open on August 27 at 7:00 AM and close at 7:00 PM. Don't forget to bring some identification.
* American humorist Will Rogers is famously quoted as having said that he never met a man he didn't like.
Who is Anthony Cates and Why is He Running for Mayor of St. Petersburg?
By GH Khan
Who is Anthony Lenardo Cates and why is he running for Mayor of St. Petersburg?
Cates, age 23, is a newcomer to St. Petersburg politics who is not known to have had any prior interest in the subject. In the balkanized demographics and byzantine politics of the great City of St. Petersburg, some see the Cates campaign as part of the effort of supporters of the incumbent mayor to split the opposition among the city's African-American voters, who tend to vote in a block and have a history of supporting the winner in mayoral races. There currently are 5 candidates in the race, including the incumbent Bill Foster, Rick Kriseman, Kathleen Ford, Paul Congemi, and Cates, making it unlikely that any candidate will get the required 50% plus one vote to take all in the August 27th primary election. This, the speculators allege, provides an incentive for the incumbent campaign to encourage vote-splitting that prevents the strongest challenger, Ford, from surviving the primary. No one is accusing His Honor or any of his supporters of doing anything illegal, and many brush off such speculation as nothing more than election-time paranoia. At the same time, no one in the neighborhood is saying that Cates is running because this is America and everyone deserves a shot at becoming mayor.
Still, there are a few odd things that do bear mentioning.
Anita Perry: The Next First Lady?
By Allah Palooza
Some of us have already started wondering (and even hoping) about who the next First Lady of the United States (FLOTUS) will be. Most of us are thinking that Michelle Obama won't be getting another four years, and that just about anyone else would be an immense improvement.
With the critical 2012 election still more than a year away and Texas Governor Rick Perry surging in popularity among Republicans, Governor Perry's wife, Anita Thigpen Perry, came to Pinellas County Saturday night, September 17th, to be the keynote speaker at the Pinellas County Republican Executive Committee (PCREC) Reagan Day Dinner.
According to her official biography, Anita Perry is a native Texan from Haskell. Mrs. Perry earned a bachelor's degree in nursing from West Texas State University, now West Texas A&M University, and a master's degree from the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio. She worked as a nurse for 17 years in surgery, pediatrics, intensive care, administration and teaching. She and Gov. Perry have been married for almost 30 years and have two grown children. She has been a strong partner with her husband, who presently is the longest-serving governor in the history of Texas, and she has been actively involved in supporting a variety of economic initiatives and innovations in her home state.
So, is Anita Perry ready for prime-time, in the sense of filling her place on the national and international stage, should her husband become the next President of the United States?
If her Reagan Day speech is an accurate measure of her talents and abilities, she has great promise but still has some work to do.
Anita Perry is a good person, and goes out of her way to make those around her feel comfortable. She is sincere, down-to earth (unlike the current FLOTUS), and very family-oriented. She devoutly believes in her husband and shares traditional American values. She is smart, and did an excellent job setting out her husband's record as a jobs creator. She was, however, a bit too folksy, spoke about five minutes longer than she should have, told the audience too little about her husband, and had some difficulty wrapping up her speech. Yet, it was refreshing to listen to a person speaking from the heart who connects with ordinary people, and who shows neither aloofness nor a desire to take on the trappings of elitist condescension. I, like many others in the room, went away from her speech hoping that she will be the one measuring the drapes in the White House in January 2013.

Congressman Bill Young to Run Again in 2012
By Spartacus Thrace
(September 18, 2011) It looks like United States Congressman C.W. "Bill" Young (R-Fla.) will be running for re-election in 2012.
State Senator Jack Latvala (R-St. Petersburg) made the announcement as he was introducing Congressman Young before a crowd of hundreds of wildly enthusiastic Republican activists at last night's Reagan Day Dinner at the Marriott St. Petersburg. The dinner is an annual fundraising event put on by the Pinellas County Republican Executive Committee (PCREC).
The money quote came at about the 4:23 mark in Latvala's six-minute introduction of Young, when he made the somewhat oddly-worded statement:
And you know some of the best news that I've had in the past few weeks is when it became apparent to me that [Young is] preparing to run again.
Sen. Latvala's remarks in their entirety can be seen in the following video [Courtesy PCREC]:
Young, for his part, appeared aged but unbowed and looked to be in remarkably better health than he did when he last addressed the PCREC at its Lincoln Day Dinner in February (another annual fundraiser put on by the PCREC). Among other remarks, Young told his audience that he had undergone back surgery, spent almost three months in the hospital, and had lost 50 pounds in weight and four inches in height (he used to be about as tall as Ronald Reagan) as a result of parts of his spine being fused. Although he walked slowly and with a thick cane, his mind appeared to be as sharp as ever. His remarks, which perhaps comprise his first campaign speech of the 2012 election season, can be viewed in their entirety in the following video [Courtesy PCREC]:
Rep. Young has been in public service as an elected official for more than half a century. He is considered by the pundits to be unbeatable in 2012, even at this early stage in the election season, barring a sudden decline in his health. The backstory of this announcement of his plans to run for his twenty-second term in Congress is that the throng of those who have long hoped and planned to take Young's place when he leaves the political scene (Sen. Latvala is among these) did not get the news they had hoped for and will have to bide their time a bit longer. Some predict that if Young's exit is not a "controlled crash" guided by political insiders, it will trigger one of the biggest political brawls in the history of Pinellas County politics.

Leslie Waters and Jim Frishe Vying for Republican Nomination for State Senate District 13
By Spartacus Thrace

George LeMeiux Campaign Speech at the PCREC
(June 13, 2011) Candidate for United States Senator from Florida George LeMeiux brought his campaign to the June meeting of the Pinellas County Republican Executive Committee (PCREC). LeMeiux, who briefly served in the Senate after being appointed by then-Governor Charlie Crist to complete the term of Sen. Mel Martinez (R-Florida) after Martinez vacated the seat, laid out for his audience why he thinks he is the best qualified candidate to defeat Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Florida) in 2012. This is what he said:

3. The third step is answering a questionnaire that a moderator will give you access to once you've been recommended.
4. And the last is a vote from existing moderators.
Note: Asking moderators or regular ChessCube users to recommend you as a Moderator will not work - this will simply give them reason not to do so.

The Taipei hostel is one of the most well known and popular hostels in all of Taiwan. The Taipei hostel first opened its doors back in 1974. Back then, it was the first youth hostel in all of Taiwan. This isn't surprising considering the island was under martial law at the time. Tourism was practically non-existent.
Since then, the Taipei hostel's worldwide reputation has only grown as tens of thousands of visitors have passed through its doors.
One of the reasons the Taipei hostel has been so successful is because it is very centrally located in the heart of beautiful downtown Taipei, the capital of Taiwan. The Taipei Hostel is a short walk away from many exciting landmarks scattered throughout the city as well as the very convenient subway of the city.
That fact coupled with the knowledge that this is the cheapest hostel in Taipei and still clean everyday with cosy facilities makes Taipei hostel so attractive.
The Chang Kai Shek memorial and park is a five minute walk away. Asia World department store, the Taipei Main Train Station, Shaodow Temple, as well as many nightmarkets and restaurants are all within walking distance.
The staff and guests at the Taipei hostel will be happy to help you get around the city and around Taiwan in general.
Everyone knows that Taiwan is an economic powerhouse. It's GDP ranks it as the 14th largest economy in world. Not bad, considering you can fly from one end of the island to the other in less than an hour. But what isn't known is that there is a lot to do and see in Taiwan.
It is the goal of this website to help educate the world as to all the amazing things that you can see and do in Taiwan and in Taipei as well.

UN and France: do they want the head of Laurent Gbagbo in the Ivory Coast?
UN and France: do they want the head of Laurent Gbagbo in the Ivory Coast?
Lee Jay Walker
Modern Tokyo Times
The United Nations (UN) and France are clearly taking sides in the conflict in the Ivory Coast. This comes despite the massacre of 800 to 1,000 Christians in Duekoue who were killed by the mainly Muslim led forces of Alassane Ouattara. However, despite this massacre the UN and France appear to care little and instead they bombed military units who are loyal to Laurent Gbagbo.
It is apparent that when massacres or a military attack is taken against forces who are loyal to Laurent Gbabgo; that the UN and France welcome this and even help during the bombardments and attacks. However, when military attacks take place against military forces which are loyal to Alassane Ouattara, then fresh UN and French attacks are unleashed in order to support Alassane Ouattara.
When it appeared that Laurent Gbagbo was going to be captured the UN and France did nothing and clearly the threat of him being murdered does not worry the outside world. After all, if the UN and France are so concerned about peace or reducing the conflict; then why are they taking sides and ignoring massacres and abuses by fighters who support Alassane Ouattara?
It is strange that Arab Muslim elites killed millions of mainly African Christians and African Animists in southern Sudan in the past. However, I do not recall the UN and France doing anything about this and the conflict in Rwanda was meant to be a watershed. Despite this, it is clear that nothing was learnt because Darfur is a reality and African Muslims in Sudan are not Arab enough for the Arab elites in Khartoum.
Therefore, is Laurent Gbagbo deemed to be a more dangerous leader in the Ivory Coast? If so, how did the UN and France come to this conclusion so quickly?
I know that Myanmar is very far away and clearly the persecution of the Karen and other minorities is not of much interest because the Karen have been fighting and resisting the military rulers of this nation for decade after decade.
Also, does anyone remember the Kurds in Turkey because thousands of Kurdish villages were destroyed in the past; and around 30,000 Kurds were killed and a low intensity conflict continues.
The same Turkey also invaded northern Cyprus and Orthodox Christians were cleansed by the armed forces of Turkey and churches were either converted into mosques or left to rot.
However, Turkey is a member of NATO therefore this nation can act without a care in the world and the pick and mix of which nation or side in a conflict gets bombed all depends on various self interests.
Therefore, the occupation of northern Cyprus continues and just like Bosnia and Kosovo, the United States, and other powers, supported the Muslim side against Orthodox Christians in all three conflicts.
Yet turning back to the Ivory Coast then what is the real agenda? Is Laurent Gbagbo so much worse than Alassane Ouattara? Also, can the UN and France claim that Laurent Gbagbo is more militaristic than the leaders in Khartoum in Sudan?
If the UN is so concerned about the plight of civilians then why not get involved in Somalia or is it ok for the Al-Shabaab to slaughter all converts from Islam to Christianity and to terrorize the populace via Islamic Sharia law?
This is the problem; it is difficult to believe that the current one-sided agenda of the UN, France, and the statements made by President Obama, are based on impartiality because it appears that France is using the current crisis in order to boost their own self interests.
Sergey Lavrov, the Russian Foreign Minister, stated that"The UN peacekeepers and supporting French forces in Ivory Coast have started military action taking the side of Ouattara, carrying out air strikes on the positions held by supporters of Gbagbo. We're now looking into the legality of this situation because the peacekeepers were authorized to remain neutral — nothing more."
The current sight of the UN and France bombing forces loyal to Laurent Gbagbo is not warranted because violence is being used by all sides and the conflict and political situation is complex.
