About Robbie Fulks
Singer/songwriter Robbie Fulks was one of the more heralded talents in the alternative country movement, displaying an offbeat, sometimes dark sense of humor in many of his best moments. As time passed, he moved away from the country twang of his early work and into a crunchier roots rock hybrid. Fulks divided his childhood between Pennsylvania, Virginia, and North Carolina, and received his schooling at Columbia University. He moved to Chicago in 1983 and first served as vocalist and guitarist in bluegrass band the Special Consensus, appearing on their Grammy-nominated 1989 album A Hole in My Heart. He later performed in the musical revue Woody Guthrie's American Song and formed his own rock band, the Trailer Trash Revue, with whom he cut a locally popular single "Little King" b/w "Jean Arthur."
Fulks got his first significant exposure via Bloodshot Records' 1994 compilation Insurgent Country, Vol. 1: For a Life of Sin, which included his track "Cigarette State"; the 1995 follow-up, Insurgent Country, Vol. 2: Hell-Bent, featured Fulks' "She Took a Lot of Pills (And Died)." Both cuts were produced by Steve Albini, who also helmed Fulks' Bloodshot debut, Country Love Songs, in 1996. The album received highly positive reviews and featured backing from roots rockers the Skeletons, as well as former Buck Owens steel guitarist Tom Brumley. The follow-up, South Mouth, took a similarly retro-minded approach, drawing from classic honky tonk and Bakersfield country. With a growing cult reputation, Fulks earned a major-label shot with Geffen, but many critics felt that his 1998 label debut, Let's Kill Saturday Night, undermined the organic strengths of his previous work with overly slick roots rock production. A merger between Universal and PolyGram shortly after the release of Let's Kill Saturday Night led to a gutting of the Geffen artist roster, and the album died on the vine as Fulks found himself without a label.
Fulks opted to start his own label, Boondoggle Records, distributed by his friends at Bloodshot, and launched it with The Very Best of Robbie Fulks, a facetiously titled collection of demos and unreleased recordings. In 2001, Fulks followed with 13 Hillbilly Giants, in which he covered a bakers' dozen songs of the 1950s and '60s, and later that year he issued his most ambitious set to date, Couples in Trouble, a bleak but compelling collection of original songs about a variety of failing relationships that found Fulks adding new dimensions to his interest in rock and left-field pop. In 2005, Fulks signed to the roots-oriented Yep Roc label and dug back into his country roots with his first album for the label, Georgia Hard. It was followed by the live collection Revenge in 2007. Fulks returned to Bloodshot Records, the label where it all began, in 2013 with Gone Away Backward, a mostly acoustic and ballad-filled album engineered and produced by Steve Albini. In 2014, Fulks toured the U.K. with veteran punk/folk upstarts the Mekons; while in Scotland, he and most of the Mekons recorded a loose album of bent sea shanties and folk pastiches. Titled Jura, the album received a vinyl-only release through Bloodshot for the 2015 Black Friday Record Store Day celebration. The LP quickly sold out, and Bloodshot gave the album a wider release on CD the following year. In 2016, Fulks returned with Upland Stories, another primarily acoustic set recorded with Steve Albini at the controls. ~ Steve Huey

Oklahoma Vapors phone calls, emails needed today to stop HB 2904
HB 2904 is scheduled to be heard in the House Judiciary committee today at 3PM.
HB 2904 by Rep. Ownbey would define electronic cigarettes as a tobacco product opening the door to higher taxation on vapor products.
Please contact members of the House Judiciary Committee members and ask them to please vote NO on HB 2904!
Tell them to keep lifesaving vapor products accessible and affordable for smokers. (Copy and paste email addresses below)
Vaping is NOT smoking and vapor products should not be treated like tobacco cigarettes
Here is my email to House Judiciary committee members:
Dear Representative,
I am a 30 year, pack a day smoker. I have failed at every attempt to quit until I tried a personal vaporizing device. I have not touched a cigarette in over six weeks. I consider this technology to be a literal lifesaver for myself and other smokers.
HB2904 opens the door to higher taxation on electronic cigarettes. This is wrong! We should keep vapor products accessible and affordable for smokers so that more people may improve their health and longevity. Electronic cigarettes do not contain tobacco and are estimated to be 99% safer than smoking.
Please vote NO on HB 2904!
You can call House Judiciary Committee members at House Switchboard 800-522-8502 and 800-522-8506. (Just ask for the Representative you wish to speak to and the operator will connect you)

Planting Hope on Hispaniola
In a country whose national symbol could be a motorcycle with a blown- out muffler, the Dominican Republic's Armando Bermúdez National Park is an oasis of tranquility.
Not much has changed in the park since its founding over half a century ago by Rafael Trujillo, a dictator whose cold-blooded rule lasted for more than 30 years. Punctuated by three 3,000-meter peaks (the Caribbean's highest), draped in stands of Hispaniolan pine, and criss-crossed by streams and waterfalls, the park covers more than 1,000 square kilometers in the Cordillera Central, the central mountain range of the Dominican Republic. By one count, the uninhabited park receives only a few hundred paying visitors a year.
But although much has remained the same inside Armando Bermúdez, changes are taking place in the way people living outside the park-indeed, across the entire island-think about the environmental treasures it represents. It's been a slow shift, arguably tracing its roots back to the 1970s when Joaquin Balaguer (Trujillo's one-time protégé) set aside 10 percent of the country's land area as parks or scientific reserves. Awareness is rising about crucial environmental themes like the roles healthy forests play in everything from agriculture to water purification. Dovetailing with this increasing awareness is the government's growing desire to address some of the same issues. For evidence of this shift, look no further than the country's new environment and natural resources secretariat, a far cry from Balaguer's draconian anti-logging laws that were enforced by soldiers with machine guns. The spirit of the law is largely the same today (no cutting is allowed without a permit), but the agents charged with enforcing it now answer to the civilian bureaucracy.
These changes are taking place in a critical location. The island of Hispaniola, which the Dominican Republic (the DR) shares with Haiti, extends over 78,000 square kilometers-large enough to be home to a dazzling array of endemic biodiversity, but small enough for that same biodiversity to be wiped out in the evolutionary blink of an eye.
But do changes in attitude-both of the government and the governed-ensure that changes are taking place on the ground? The answer, like the problems facing the island's ecosystems, is complex.
Good Intentions, Some Progress
Directly to the south of Armando Bermúdez is another protected area of about the same size called José del Carmen Ramírez National Park, whose extensive cloud forests host wild orchids and bromeliads and the source of the Río Yaque del Sur. Taken together, the Yaque del Sur's watershed and that of the longer Río Yaque del Norte, rising in the same mountain range, cover more than 25 percent of the country's land area. Much of it is prime agricultural land.
The two parks are the cornerstone of the Dominican national park system, a vast network of more than 60 parks, reserves, refuges, and sanctuaries overseen by the seven-year-old Secretariat of the Environment and Natural Resources. The endemism of the mountain range in which they lie is astonishing: the Nature Conservancy reports that more than 90 percent of the amphibians and reptiles there exist nowhere else in the world. The same goes for half the area's butterflies, more than 40 percent of its plant species, and 35 percent of its birds.
Armando Bermúdez and José del Carmen Ramírez are symbols of what can happen when things are done correctly. The government's commitment to the area is evident in the signage, easily accessed entrances, and well-staffed park ranger stations. This official air, in turn, means laws are followed and boundaries respected. It's amid this environment that the Cordillera Central has become a center for ecotourism in the Caribbean, with several outfits in Jarabacoa, Constanza, and other towns offering whitewater rafting, horseback riding, mountain biking, and guided hikes up 3,087-meter Pico Duarte.
Off to the west, in the mountains just southeast of the Dominican city of Dajabón, lies Nalga de Maco National Park. Like Armando Bermúdez and José del Carmen Ramírez, it has towering peaks, thundering waterfalls, and stunning biodiversity.
But there are some key differences. For one, the river it helps to feed doesn't exist solely in the DR; the Río Artibonito flows westward into Haiti (where it is called the Rivière Artibonite) after forming at the confluence of the Río Libón and Río Joca. No river on Hispaniola is longer than the Artibonito, and none more important to Haiti's farmers. The valley through which it runs is that nation's principal rice-growing region; thanks to the Peligre Dam constructed in 1950, the river irrigates more than 35,000 hectares of land.
Nalga de Maco also differs from those other parks in that it only loosely resembles a protected area. There are no grand entrance gates, no signs, nothing to suggest that it's a federally administered national park except a one-room office in Rio Limpio, a tiny mountain town at the park's northwestern edge. More often than not, a visitor to that office will find it empty, as I did on weekly visits to Rio Limpio toward the end of my Peace Corps service in early 2007. The environment secretariat's website lists the park staff as an administrator, three rangers, and three forest extensionists. In a 280-square-kilometer park, that's one staff person for every 40 square kilometers. (Armando Bermúdez and José del Carmen Ramírez, in contrast, feature 26 ranger stations and 6 observation towers and combine to average one staffer per 24 square kilometers.)
No formal guiding groups exist for visitors who want to enter the park, as I found out in March 2006. A friend and I spent four hours finding someone who knew the path to the summit of Nalga de Maco, the 1,991-meter peak from which the park gets its name. That someone was Jairo, a 22-year-old Rio Limpio resident who told us he learned the trails as a boy while walking them with his father. In the early part of our trek, in the foothills at the mountain's base, we passed more than a few farmers and laborers with hoes and axes slung over their shoulders. On our way down a day later, we saw the same men standing in clearings where just a day before had been lush growth. Embers could still be seen smoldering in parts of the new clearings. Jairo told me it was illegal to clear land there because it was within park boundaries. "But who's going to enforce it? The law does not reach [the residents] here," he said.
This episode illustrates a stark truth of developing-world environmental policy, according to Bill Kaschak, who spent eight years working for the International Resources Group directing a USAID-funded project that advised the Dominican government as it developed new environmental policies. Decisions may be made at high levels of government, but those decisions don't always affect what happens on the ground. In 2000, when the Dominican government resolved to protect its environment and use its natural resources in sustainable ways, the result was the creation of the environment secretariat. Seven years later, the framework remains incomplete.
In some cases, Kaschak says, the money just isn't available for implementation, a fact reflected in the lax enforcement in Nalga de Maco. But a more pressing concern is the culture question. "It's about attitude, knowledge, behavior-what people perceive and how they interpret that," he says. The creation of the policy framework was helpful in that it established, in Kaschak's terms, a "body of technicians" to enforce the legal dimensions of the policies. The difficulty now is not in establishing whether the will to erect the framework exists-it does, at least in the DR-but in the time it may take the culture to become comfortable acting within that framework.
Green and Peasant Land?
In the Dominican Republic the fact that the environment is facing any number of threats has been recognized, and a partial framework has been created for doing something about it. Laws are on the books now to regulate everything from carbon emissions to whalewatching, a big-time tourism draw on the Saman Peninsula in the country's northeast. But what about places where such a framework doesn't exist? What about Haiti?
Since 1988, four coups and/or U.S. military interventions have wracked the nation, robbing it of the stability needed to set up strategies to address pressing issues like the state of the environment. Development agencies that might fill the void find tough sledding too. The Peace Corps, for instance, long a driver of environmental awareness during 46 consecutive years on the Dominican side of the island, has suspended its Haiti program four times since 1987, including twice since 2004.
So if government doesn't exist, and if workers from other countries are ordered to leave (as non-essential employees of the U.S. State Department were in May 2005), who remains to safeguard the Haitian environment?
Haitian peasants, decided Chavannes Jean-Baptiste.
In 1972, the young Catholic-layman-turned-agronomist began work on what would become the Peasant Movement of Papaye (MPP), with the goal of teaching sustainable agriculture to impoverished farmers in the Haitian countryside. In the 35 years since, Haiti's population has grown from 5.5 million to more than 8.7 million, half of whom earn less than $60 per year, according to globalsecurity.org. As the population has grown, trees have disappeared. Forests cover less than 2 percent of Haiti's land mass, and Jean-Baptiste says conservative estimates suggest 20 million trees are felled for charcoal production each year.
That's led to the erosion problems Jean-Baptiste has placed at the center of his efforts. In a healthy system, according to Jean-Baptiste, erosion can be expected to result in 1 metric ton of soil loss per hectare per year. Current estimates put soil loss in Haiti at 1,600 metric tons per hectare per year. In a situation that extreme, erosion ceases to be merely an agricultural or environmental issue and becomes an acute humanitarian problem as well: since 2004, flooding caused in part by erosion and deforestation has killed or displaced several thousand Haitians. "I can say that the country will go from catastrophe to catastrophe if nothing is done to change the situation," Jean-Baptiste says.
For almost four decades, Jean-Baptiste has been working to do just that. In 2005, he received a Goldman Environmental Prize for his work with MPP, whose members have planted more than 20 million trees. Perhaps more important to Jean-Baptiste, the number of rural Haitians taking part in MPP projects has topped 60,000 to date.
"You cannot save the environment without the formal engagement of peasant organizations," Jean-Baptiste argues. "They must be the principal actors." If anything positive came out of the floods of the past decade, he believes, it's that they have increased public awareness among Haitians of the degradation of the country's environment: "The problems one encounters working on environmental protection in Haiti are diverse, but in my opinion the biggest problem is one of education and information."
The new awareness is a first step toward a resolution of the problems, but ultimately what's needed is a national strategy, though it may be slow in coming. Jean-Baptiste serves as the chair of the federal government's new council on peasant issues, and he's frank about how close such a strategy currently is to reality: "It demands a degree of political will that doesn't exist in Haiti at the moment."
Nursing the Forests
Almost a year after my first visit, I returned to Nalga de Maco with Chris Bright, a former senior researcher at Worldwatch, and Gaspar Pérez, the manager of a nearby agroforestry nursery started by Bright's nonprofit group, Earth Sangha. Bright was in country to see the latest progress at the nursery, but he also wanted to see some virgin tropical moist forest.
We approached the mountain on a different trail than the one I had used with Jairo a year earlier, but the lack of regulation was just as evident. To our left as we climbed was a plantation of Honduran pine, the exotic softwood of choice for entrepreneurs trying to make some money in the timber trade. To our right was a slope overtaken by thickets of an invasive shrub the Dominicans call calliandra. Banana plantations and bean fields were also visible.
When we finally found the stand Pérez had in mind, we saw the type of ecosystem that once dominated the island: ferns, mosses, palms, and trickling streams that ran through an eternally damp forest floor. Just beyond the parcel's vine-entangled border, however, lay a huge hillside expanse of felled trees, charred brush, and smoldering ash. Interplanted among the piles of debris: more banana trees.
Pérez would later say he felt embarrassed that Bright and I had seen it. "It isn't supposed to be like that. It wasn't like that when I was younger."
Unfortunately, the same can be said for much of the mountainous region in the country's northwest. Logging has become big business in places like the Dajabón province. Flatbed trucks descend from the hills daily, loaded with huge trunks of mature native Hispaniolan pine and younger logs of Honduran pine. There are more of the former these days, but that might not be true in a few years: Hispaniolan pine is on the World Conservation Union's (IUCN) "red list" of threatened species, while the most popular selection for replanting programs sponsored by the Dominican forestry department is the faster-growing Honduran species, introduced solely for low-grade timber production.
The forestry department, an arm of the environment secretariat, has small regional nurseries throughout the country, including two in Restauracin, a section of Dajabón province labeled the nation's "leading forestry municipality" by environment secretary Max Puig. The secretariat's commitment to reforestation is such that planting trees is touted as though it were a civic duty. Posters in many of the agency's field offices depict Dominican President Leonel Fernández with his sleeves rolled up planting a sapling, and public-service announcements on afternoon radio urge families to plant trees near their houses. In many instances, though, those posters and radio spots are the closest any Dominican can get to entering the process. A gap exists between rhetoric and action.
Closing this gap became the focus of my Peace Corps service. Despite living in the DR's "leading forestry municipality," families in Los Cerezos, the community in which I served as a volunteer, simply couldn't get their hands on any trees to plant. The government nurseries, while a boon for the absentee owners of the area's vast timber plantations, offered little to the small family farms that in many respects are on the leading edge of deforestation.
When I arrived in May 2005, two farmers, in a community of roughly 500 people, had contracted with the forestry office to introduce managed plantings on their land. A handful of others had received trees from the forestry nurseries through a now-defunct local NGO. Those who hadn't been included in any sort of planting program or tree giveaway asked for a Peace Corps volunteer to help get them involved. They had seen the posters and heard the ads. Many had even attended day-long, government-administered workshops on concepts like agroforestry, soil structure, and the dangers of deforestation. They knew the virtues of forest renewal and wanted desperately to help promote it.
But over time it became apparent that the government, whatever its intentions, couldn't possibly accommodate every Dominican farmer who wanted to reforest his land. Moreover, there were no other options. In response, a small association of farmers in Los Cerezos formed a Peace Corps-facilitated partnership with Bright's non-profit and built their own nursery. It's located right inside their community and is producing around 6,000 trees per year.
"The project is designed to create opportunities for local people while also strengthening farm culture and preserving the landscape," Bright says. "The farmers there know very well that they shouldn't clear forest, but they've never had any other options that they can afford. With their nursery and our program, now they do."
Bright hopes to expand his group's program into Haiti once the Los Cerezos project begins to produce lasting results. Chavannes Jean-Baptiste, for his part, doesn't place much faith in projects that attempt such expansions. Arrangements like that are too simple, he says, especially for a place where the problems are so complex. "Today, there's a lot of talk about binational projects," says Jean-Baptiste. "The European Union, for example, encourages them. But I think they're poorly conceived because they don't take into account the characteristics of each area. I get a lot of people who come in with great intentions during planning stages, but when the time comes to start doing some work, they're nowhere to be seen."
The majority of these projects fail, he says, because they violate basic principles of development work, including longterm planning and integrated approaches to problems.
But if Bright and Jean-Baptiste differ on the value of cross-border projects on Hispaniola, they share the conviction that more options must be created for the island's residents. Jean-Baptiste sees job creation through public-works projects in the Haitian countryside as a way to relieve pressure to cut trees, but he also wants to introduce environmental education to the peasant class. For him, the makings of a solution lie in awareness.
Gaspar Pérez and his counterparts in the DR already have varying degrees of that awareness; what they need are avenues through which to act on it. Whether those avenues are created by a slowly evolving policy framework or by something else doesn't matter. What matters is that people have a chance to act.
And that's the common thread that runs through Hispaniola. There, as anywhere, real change will only begin at the grassroots, where attitudes meet action. Attitudes have begun to change, perhaps spurred by the creation of a national park more than five decades ago. With luck it won't take another five decades for action to have caught up.

The end of September will mark the end of one era for a Flat Rock recreational facility and usher in the beginning of another.
The end of September will mark the end of one era for a Flat Rock recreational facility and usher in the beginning of another.
On Sept. 30, Highland Lake Golf Club is closing permanently and will begin its transition into a municipal park for the Village of Flat Rock.
"I would like to thank the community for all of the support that we have gotten over the 19 years that we have owned the course.
"This is the end of an era in the county. We have gotten to see a lot of enjoyment here over the years," said Highland Lake's owner Jim Sparks.
At an April 29 meeting, the Flat Rock Village Council approved to purchase the 66-acre Highland Lake Golf Club and the buildings for use as a "passive park."
"I think that this worked out for the best and the timing was right. We could have developed the property, but we wanted to leave a green space for the community. The course will go forward and be a nice park for the community," said Sparks.
Before the last putt falls on the ninth green, Highland Lake hosted the Henderson County Education Foundation, Inc.'s, "4th Annual Connie and Ricky Sparks Memorial Scholarship Golf Event" on Saturday.
The Sparks Scholarship is awarded annually to a new graduate of Hendersonville High School. The $3,500 annual scholarship is to be used exclusively for college expenses and is renewable for four years.
"We have raised about $200,000 since we started the event in 2010," said Sparks.
The winner of the 2013 scholarship was Keren Fernandez. She is studying nursing at Blue Ridge Community College.
With the closing of Highland Lake, a void will be left behind for the many junior golfers that have learned the game at the course over the years.
"This is such a good little golf course. You can play every club in your bag. I have enjoyed seeing the junior golfers that have played here go onto play in college. I hope the other courses in the area will pick up the slack for the junior golfers. We had the Regional Director for the Southeast from The First Tee come meet with us at one point. But the demographics of Henderson County just were not strong enough to support a program here," said Sparks.
Another void left behind is the practice facility at Highland Lake.
"Our driving range was a nice, relaxed place for people to come and hit balls. We even had Tom Watson here once giving a little clinic for kids. Tommy Tolles used to come and hit balls here when he played on the PGA Tour," said Sparks.
"Over the years, we tried to make it a fun place for the community. There are a lot of good memories here.
"I really want to make sure that we can thank the community for their support. I am glad to say that we are going out on a good note," said Sparks.
Fairways and greens my friend.

As we come to the close of this year, I find it particularly refreshing to look back and reflect on the many blessings, which have been bestowed on this community of impassioned educators, parents, and gifted education advocates. Here are just five of the happenings, which have brought me hope and renewed my belief in our ability to positively alter the future for gifted learners via digital media collaboration, the removal of walls, creative programming, and strategic communications and advocacy.
1. Global #gtchat continues to grow.
Our worldwide chat is now officially two years old! Congratulations to all of you who have helped make #gtchat what it is today. I continue to be overwhelmed by the devotion of participants who have made – or are just starting to make – #gtchat a regular part of their week and learning. Please join us for our last chat of 2011 this Friday, December 23rd at noon (EST), as we reflect as a community on "Progress Made in 2011; Hopes for 2012!" Global #gtchat will then take a holiday hiatus and resume its regular schedule on Friday, January 6th at noon (EST) and 7:00 pm (EST).
2. People throughout the world are recognizing the power of collaboration & digital platforms to benefit education.
This year, participants from Argentina, Australia, Canada, Denmark, England, Germany, Honduras, India, Ireland, Mexico, New Zealand, and all throughout the United States demonstrated the power inherent in sharing resources, dialogue, and ideation in real-time to benefit these learners and those who serve them. The Ingeniosus site drew a record 55,000+ unique visitors from 150 countries in 2011 alone for a total of 800,000+ hits to date. <=look what you've created!
3. I've had a dream come true.
When I participated in a Keynote Panel, moderated by TAGT President Lynette Breedlove, on the power of Social Media at the Texas Association for the Gifted and Talented's Gifted 3.0 Conference, I felt immensely privileged. Addressing 1,000+ educators and parents, I had a ball and was blown away by the amount of interest, enthusiasm, and dedication demonstrated by individuals hungry to tap new professional and personal development opportunities online. Hearing people I've never met scream down a hallway, "I just sent my first tweet!" with enthusiasm made my heart sing.
4. I'm honored to be working with three of the finest organizations devoted to gifted learners right now.
For 2011-2012, Global #gtchat Sponsors include The Gatton Academy of Mathematics and Science in Kentucky and the Gifted Development Center, as well as our new Lead Global #gtchat Sponsor, the Texas Association for the Gifted & Talented (TAGT). I also want to tip my hat to the Summer Enrichment Program at the University of Northern Colorado for its support this past year; it was an honor to serve you!
5. I've offered Social Media Trainings/Consults to premier organizations in the United States this year.
Being able to debunk myths about the role of Social Media today, evoke an honest understanding of its power and capabilities, cull organizational findings via customized online surveys, and offer strategic communication and organizational recommendations to institutions and businesses serving gifted learners has allowed me to combine my knowledge and professional marketing experience in such a pragmatic way. When I see light bulbs going off and when I challenge organizations to view themselves in today's environment versus "business as usual" I am able to see linchpins in action, which is satisfying beyond measure. Moreover, the Ingeniosus Authors Program launched in 2011 and has already started to gain momentum!
My five hopes for 2012 include:
1. Kicking Ingeniosus into full gear.
Ingeniosus is just three years old and is finally figuring out what it wants to be when it grows up – a leading global consulting firm dedicated to fostering connections to benefit gifted learners worldwide. In 2012, I plan to raise the ante on advocacy and programming, and also look forward to expanding the Web site, conducting more Social Media Trainings/Consults, securing additional Global #gtchat Sponsors, and growing the Ingeniosus Authors Program.
2. Being a productive rabblerouser.
I'm committed to continuing to ask hard questions and provoke thought, action, and change. Seeing that my CALL TO ACTION: Making Gifted Education Relevant Today and 10 Ways Social Media and the Web Are Moving Gifted Education Forward posts were among the top-read posts of 2011 has further ignited my commitment to stepping out. Even stumbling across this news from the Government of South Australia's Department for Education and Child Development reminds me of the exponential power of our work. Casting fear aside, I want to be bold enough to foster new paths and enthusiasm for intelligent advocacy today, new forms of professional development (including digital swaps and real-time collaboration), and a blend of traditional PR and sage digital relations.
3. Speaking to 12,000+ individuals in 2012.
Educators, parents, and gifted education advocates are hungry for connection and learning. In 2012, I have a goal of speaking to 12,000+ people throughout the world via a variety of paid speaking engagements (in-person and Skype). Every person, every voice counts. Every parent who feels inspired, every educator who begins to incorporate more 21st Century Learning with his or her gifted students, every advocate who sees an avenue amid the Perfect Storm of gifted education matters. Every professor of gifted education who sees digital media as an opportunity and takes a risk, every gifted organization that asks itself how it needs to evolve to better serve, every parent who interacts more with local school boards, embraces their intense child, and partners more effectively with schools matters! Contact me if you want to help ensure this happens!
4. Launching the Ingeniosus "Your Move" Awards Program.
This may prove to be one of the most challenging, yet inspirational endeavors yet; however, I'm determined to find a way to birth the Ingeniosus "Your Move" Program into being and provoke young minds to tap digital tools for social good this year. I'm currently working to secure judges and sponsors for this program. Stay tuned for what I hope will be a powerful illustration of the potency of young minds utilizing today's technology for good while supporting passion and learning with global connections.
5. Remembering always that each person is a part of the harmonious whole.
My life and work has been transformed because of you – yes you. If you're reading this, if you have started to delve into the world of digital collaboration, and/or if you're an advocate – young or old, then you have given my life immense purpose and supported my passion. Here's hoping in 2012, I serve you — and those in your care — with fortitude as I do my part to honor the harmonious whole.
With gratitude,
Deborah Mersino

A 9-foot, 3-inch American crocodile paid a visit to the Naval Air Station Key West.
A security patrol spotted the crocodile Monday at daybreak off the road on the commercial entrance to Boca Chica, Naval Air Station Key West spokeswoman Trice Denny said.
"This was in an area of the base that is not highly populated," she said.
Following standard procedure, the Navy's environmental development team contacted the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, who came out to tag the crocodile.
It took the team about an hour to tag and release the crocodile, Denny said.
Denny, who has been in the base for over 10 years, said she has seen a handful of crocodiles in the base. She specifically remembers a time when a crocodile was sunning itself on the runway.
"It happens occasionally," she said.

As one of the members of the St. Louis-based National Association of Electrical Distributors (NAED) closest to the recovery efforts in Manhattan, David Weinstein, general manager of Kennedy Electric Supply Corp. in Jamaica, N.Y., worked with NAED to relay the needs of rescue workers in New York to NAED.
He requested an immediate response to an urgent call for supplies. According to an item posted on Sept. 20 on the Industrial Distribution magazine Web site, Weinstein said the rescuers have an urgent need for the following supplies:
- Sawzalls and Sawzall blades for metal (6 in. and 8 in.)
- Aviation snips and tin snip scissors
- Large bolt cutters and large rebar cutters
- Walkie-talkies in sets of two
- Bandsaws and bandsaw blades
- Heavy-duty work gloves (leather)
- Respirators with filters
- Heavy-duty extension cords
On Sept. 26, as CEE News went to press, Weinstein said he just received his second flatbed of donations from 30 different companies. The donations included respirators, extension cords and power cords. Kennedy Electric Supply Corp. will get the materials to the workers who need them.
Please contact Weinstein at [email protected] to inquire about what supplies will be needed. Supplies can be sent for next day air delivery to:

Flight 93 crash in Pennsylvania shocks distributors
Pennsylvania electrical distributors near the crash site of Flight 93 do not expect that their businesses will see much direct impact from the crash of the hijacked plane in rural southwest Pennsylvania because the plane had not crashed into any building or disrupted any electrical systems on the ground.
"It hasn't affected us much other than the increase in security," said Lee Hite, president of The Hite Co., Altoona, Pa., which has a branch eight miles from the crash site in Somerset, Pa.
At the time of the crash, Hite said, "It's an FAA situation. They're not letting anyone in. It's very guarded."
Hite said security at the Johnstown and Altoona, Pa., airports had increased, and that the FAA brought most of its own supplies into the area for the investigation.
Bob Vanyo, president of Utiliserve, Somerset, Pa., said his company also has not been directly involved with the recovery efforts and that several of Utiliserve's warehouse people live near the crash site, and one worker had to evacuate his home because debris landed in his backyard.
Roy Haley, president of WESCO Distribution Inc., Pittsburgh, also said the company's Johnstown branch did not see any significant increase in business, but the crash site may have required some limited special-purpose materials.

Hey look, Japan made a movie about me!
Most schools have reinforced windows. It's going to take more than one thrown chair to break it, and if the killer is dumb enough to turn his back to a potential threat, then why would you throw the chair at the window when you could instead beat the killer with it?Originally Posted by Eris:2736241
But it really doesn't take that long to mix two things together. Hell, you could prepare it beforehand and just open the container there. Voila!
Eris said, anyone can use a gun. The point is, not allowing any citezen to possess a gun, legally or otherwise would minimise incidents such as this in the first place.
It pains me to say this, but in this day and age, the only way to ensure real protection of children on school premises is through millitary intervention, and so that essentially, innappropriate weapons are not allowed anywhere near school premises to begin with. Ideally, it'd be nice to see schools managing themselves without the presence of millitary personell at all (i.e. so that they look more like schools and less like detention camps); but the alternative is to risk more incidents like this. Of course, the obviousness as to what should be done to avoid mass school killings on this scale doesn't make it any easier to implement; ultimately the question is whether American taxpayers are prepared to pay more to their governent for the necessary protection of their children.
The alternative is for the surrounding society to look deep within itself and ask, "Why are these things happening?". Incidents like this are, however you look at it, a reflection on the surrounding society, and while it can't be held accountable for the killer's actions, it may well be partly responsible for the path he took in his life. Basically, I'm saying that one thing leads to another--actions are not born out of thin air.
In any case, the notion that guns are necessary to protect people is certainly not reflected in the US's crime statistics. There are other countries in the world that permit around the same standards of living and with them it's illegal for citezens (i.e. civillians) to possess firearms; (Japan and Austrailia to name but a few); yet most (if not all) do not have anywhere near as alarming crime statistics. In the end the difference boils down to social development.
As much as I wish the incident had not happened, I'm not at all surprised that it did--in fact I'd almost go so far as to say that it was enevitable. School killings (at least on this scale) seem to be a relatively recent phenomenon; to me this would suggest that something has gone fundamentally wrong with--and I'm going to say it because it has to said--western society as a whole.

I can't believe such a person killed our future generation
Hearing stuff like this just makes me feel sick to the core.
How many more times is this going to happen before they decide that they need to impose some form of gun ownership restriction in the USA.
~Made by me~
It's too bad this kind of sheltered american pastime has degraded from high school shootings to elementary school shootings. Why doesn't this ever happen at Rockefeller University, at a bank, in parliament, congress, or a police station? No one should ever miss the people dead there. I am displeased with this.
Also, lol @ video interview:
"-Hundreds of shots?
-That's what she said.."
Though it would be nice if everyone knew the purpose of the second amendment.
Someone who already is not following the law or intending to not follow it is going to follow the law even though it hinders their intent to not follow the law.
Sad times. However, the screw up with the other Lanza dude was a little chuckle inducing.
You want to know why crime is not EVERYWHERE, and only tends to be strong in "bad neighborhoods"? It's because people who are innocent, and legally have guns, can shoot criminals. Right now criminals are SCARED of their victims, which is why most people in their life NEVER EXPERIENCE A CRIME FIRST-HAND. Only about 1% of people in our society are ever a robbery victim. In a country with an absolute gun-ban, 99% of the people in the country would be robbed AT LEAST ONCE in their life, and at least half of those would be ARMED ROBBERY!
We often don't feel safe with guns being legal especially after a crime like this, but that "lack of safety with guns being legal" is merely AN ILLUSION! If you ban guns, you will TRULY NEVER BE SAFE AGAIN!!!!!
AND DON'T TELL ME TO JUST CALL 911. If someone breaks in to my house and I call 911 and the nearest cop-car is 1 mile away, it will still take ONE WHOLE MINUTE even if the cop car is going 60mph! And that's if I'm LUCKY enough that there's one a mile from me. However even one minute is MORE THAN ENOUGH TIME for a person to SHOOT ME, STEAL MY WALLET, AND ESCAPE. If I had a gun in my hand, and I met the burglar at the door as he kicked it in, with my gun in hand pointed at him before he even had time to draw his gun. He'd THINK TWICE ABOUT PULLING HIS GUN ON ME, and he would probably LEAVE THE HOUSE IMMEDIATELY!
Right, Because everyone in the U.S. is carrying a gun on them. Oh and for a country with a gun ban, Japan seems to be doing alright. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_Japan#Statistics
Oh and there's this.
"You want to know why. This may sound cynical, but here's why.
It's because of the way the media reports it. Flip on the news and watch how we treat the Batman theater shooter and the Oregon mall shooter like celebrities. Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris are household names, but do you know the name of a single *victim* of Columbine? Disturbed
people who would otherwise just off themselves in their basements see the news and want to top it by doing something worse, and going out in a memorable way. Why a grade school? Why children? Because he'll be remembered as a horrible monster, instead of a sad nobody.
Because reasons
CNN's article says that if the body count "holds up", this will rank as the second deadliest shooting behind Virginia Tech, as if statistics somehow make one shooting worse than another. Then they post a video interview of third-graders for all the details of what they saw and heard while the shootings were happening. Fox News has plastered the killer's face on all their reports for hours. Any articles or news stories yet that focus on the victims and ignore the killer's identity? None that I've seen yet. Because they don't sell. So congratulations, sensationalist media, you've just lit the fire for someone to top this and knock off a day care center or a maternity ward next.
You can help by forgetting you ever read this man's name, and remembering the name of at least one victim. You can help by donating to mental health research instead of pointing to gun control as the problem. You can help by turning off the news."
I don't necessarily think a COMPLETE BAN is needed, but it should be quite difficult for ppl to own a firearm as there is no place for them in day to day life.
Read the rest.Less than 48 hours after the Connecticut school shooting at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT, which took place on Dec. 14, the Westboro Baptist Church is already making plans to picket.
Wow, did not see this coming. Like, holy crap, how unpredictable.

Port Arthur Massacre

Police can't promise end to Sydney shooting spree
It literally took longer to copy-paste the URLs into a post than it did to find those on Google. Two of them are AFTER the shift to draconian gun laws. Aside from these, please look up and post crime rates (violent and not) before and after said legal changes. Critical thinking is important.
In fact, I think more people have been killed by mass bombings (in the US alone and abroad) than by mass shootings. I'll have to double check that though.
What about people who go to a shooting range and shoot at targets just for fun? Shouldn't they be allowed to continue to own guns?
I don't know of any country that has a complete gun ban (as in there is no such thing as a "gun license" because there is no such thing as legally owning a gun in the country). And if there were, the petty criminals in that country would likely upgrade their crimes to violent robberies.
You want to know why even in places with tough gun laws there is less crime? It's because of the fact that it isn't a COMPLETE BAN. The fact remains that the criminal knows that the next person he attacks MIGHT have a gun, even if there's only a 1% chance of it. And that's enough to keep most criminals away from violent crime. But I believe that if 99% of the law-abiding citizens owned a gun, criminals would be so terrified, that they would make sure their crimes didn't get them shot, so the crime rate for violent crime would be almost non-existent, and the crime rate for lesser crimes (walking off with a wallet that someone accidentally dropped, etc) would also go down significantly because nobody would know when the wallet owner (who most likely was "packing heat") would turn around and see the guy trying to take the wallet, and fire a few shots his way. So (if 99% of law-abiding citizens owned guns) violent crime would be down to less than 1% of all crime, and the chance of any crime (even nonviolent) happening to someone at some point in their life (which is like 10% in our current situation) would drop to less than 1%.
Stupid leftists advocate for ABSOLUTE BAN ON ALL GUNS.
I advocate for A COMPLETELY ARMED SOCIETY. Right now, while criminals are fewer than goodguys, of the guns that are currently owned by a non-cop civilian more than 50% are owned by criminals, because goodguys are AFRAID under current law that (even though guns are legal to own with the proper license) that the law might change any moment making them criminals. To convince more goodguys to go out and buy guns, we need to GUARENTY people that there will NEVER be a complete gun ban in the US. If 99% of owned guns were owned by goodguys, then the criminals would have no more desire to commit crime, and would choose to live by the law, because they'd be TOO SCARED TO COMMIT A CRIME!!!!!
---------- Post added at 04:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:07 PM ----------
I'm not here to argue on facts and figures, I honestly can't be bothered. It is simply my personal opinion that no good ever can or will come from people owning deadly weapons (except maybe the police)
You want to know why that shooting (or any mass shooting, whether at a mall, theater, school, or college) can happen in the US? It's because THOSE PLACES are "gun free zones" (you can't carry in those places, even with a gun permit). I guarenty you if even ONE GOOD PERSON in those places had a gun, THE BAD GUY WITH THE GUN WOULD BE DEAD AFTER HIS FIRST OR SECOND SHOT, CAUSE THE GOODGUY WITH THE GUN WOULD HAVE PUT HIM DOWN FAST!!!!!! If a teacher at that school had a gun and trained to use it properly, EVEN JUST ONE TEACHER, that guy would have had time to get get off a couple shots off before the armed teacher would have run to the scene, found the shooter and killed him on the spot. And if the first act of the gun toting madman was to confront the teacher with his, she probably would have been able to see it before it was leveled at her, as he was pulling it out to shoot, she would quick-draw HER OWN GUN (just like cops you see in the movies, if she was properly trained in gun handling like cops are) and fill him with lead before he even had his gun aimed and shot, meaning no shots from his gun before he was DEAD. In schools, teachers need to be able to do double-duty, be a teacher AND be the armed security force at the school to protect the students.
As far as the sex-crime rate in Japan, where's your data? If you're gonna make a compelling statistical comment have the facts to back it.
As for my facts http://www.reuters.com/article/2007/...34893820070828
Why are police excepted? Are they the only ones who are victimized by violent criminals? Should my safety, and the safety of my family and friends, be reliant on police presence and response?It is simply my personal opinion that no good ever can or will come from people owning deadly weapons (except maybe the police)
Warren v. District of Columbia
You need to read that. I can't quote the content because it's not suitable for the general forum. The findings are irrelevant; while the courts hold that police do not have a duty to provide police services to individuals (yes, that's exactly what that case states), I can say first hand that police will do their damnedest to protect when they can. It's what happened that led to the case that I want you to read.
I well and truly envy you that you've not been put in a situation where you had to use force of any kind to protect yourself or others. Some of us, at least two on this forum no less, have been put in exactly that position before.
Despite what the media makes of it, and in spite of how awful these killings are, they are still rare. The United States is huge, both in size and population. Compare its land mass and population to other parts of the world and overlay its crime rates. The US gets a bad rap because it actually reports its crimes, where many (most?) other nations cover them up as much as possible, something that's becoming harder to do because the widespread ownership and use of smartphones and social media is making it nearly impossible to keep secrets (if you don't believe me, look up the reported crime rates of most countries that are only recently showing mass tragedies; European and Asian countries in particular are prone to this).
Before you, both you specifically Jasanime and to anyone else who holds the same opinion, start stating a need for drastic change, start looking at the whole picture. Facts and numbers shouldn't be an inconvenience to making policy that effects the lives of others.
I guess I'm just old fashioned and believe that violence is never the answer. Peace :-)

The announcement of Solicitor General Elena Kagan's nomination to fill the US Supreme Court seat being vacated by Justice John Paul Stevens has prompted a familiar complaint.
Ms. Kagan, so the argument goes, is a member of a small, well-educated elite; and as a product of the best schools, she is unrepresentative of the vast majority of the American people.
Arguments such as this one surface with some regularity in American politics, and it's most often heard as a cry from the right.
Elena Kagan: What question would you like to ask her?
However, today's conservatives would do well to refresh their memories and take a few cues from such luminaries of American conservative thought as
Alexander Hamilton or John Adams. Indeed, criticism of Kagan's elitism sounds more like the complaints of the Anti-Federalist opponents of the Constitution than they do its Federalist defenders.
Among the fears raised by the Anti-Federalists more than 200 years ago, two recently revived during the debate over the Kagan nomination stand out:
If Kagan were approved, the new federal government would be dominated by the well educated, and the federal courts would be populated by judges of a legalistic caste of mind out of touch with the lives of ordinary Americans.
These arguments were taken to their absurd conclusion in the New York State constitutional ratification convention in 1788.
As one Federalist wrote about his Anti-Federalist opponents, "the gentleman, sensible of the weakness of this reasoning, is obliged to fortify it by having recourse to the phantom aristocracy."
If government were not to be populated by citizens drawn from the ranks of "the wise, the learned, and those eminent for their talents or great virtues," who would be fit to serve? The most famous, or perhaps infamous, invocation of this Anti-Federalist idea in modern American politics occurred when Richard Nixon nominated Judge G. Harrold Carswell of Tallahassee, Fla., to the Supreme Court in 1970.
In response to attacks on Carswell's qualifications, US Sen. Roman Hruska of Nebraska rose to reassert the Anti-Federalist vision of politics. "Even if he were mediocre,'' he asserted, "there are a lot of mediocre judges and people and lawyers. They are entitled to a little representation, aren't they, and a little chance? We can't have all Brandeises, Frankfurters and Cardozos.''
The Federalist Founders, it is important to recall, were drawn from a very small elite. They were champions of the ideal of natural aristocracy. Indeed, the very best among them were emblems of this ideal.
As it turns out, Princeton produced the largest share of college degrees among the members of the Constitutional Convention.
So, the fact that future Supreme Courts may have a Princeton majority should hardly be a cause for alarm. Then, as now, the Ivy League contained members of both the natural aristocracy of talent and the artificial aristocracy of privilege. Kagan is clearly representative of the former, not the latter.
In "The Federalist Papers," James Madison noted that one of the many virtues of the Federal system was that it would act as a filter, winnowing and refining the pool of candidates for federal office. The Founders were not antigovernment libertarians or populist democrats. They were chastened civic republicans who recognized that one of the most basic functions of government was to civilize and restrain the excesses of democracy.
The role of the Supreme Court in American history remains essentially countermajoritarian.
As Justice Robert Jackson noted more than half a century ago: "The very purpose of a Bill of Rights was to withdraw certain subjects from the vicissitudes of political controversy, to place them beyond the reach of majorities and officials and to establish them as legal principles to be applied by the courts."
To be sure, the high court is not immune to politics or the evolving traditions of American society. It is not, however, intended to be an exact mirror of the people.
Among all institutions in American society, the Supreme Court is deliberately designed to be elitist in nature. The Founders recognized this fact, and the debate over future nominations to the Supreme Court ought to as well.
Saul Cornell, PhD, holds the Paul and Diane Guenther chair in American history at Fordham University. He is the author of "The Other Founders: Anti-Federalism & the Dissenting Tradition in America, 1788-1828" and "A Well-Regulated Militia: The Founding Fathers and the Origins of Gun Control in America."

NBC Universal Threatens Partners That They Need To Sign 'Grassroots' Support Of SOPA/PIPA Or It Might Have To Drop Them
from the this-is-getting-sad deptWe've talked about CreativeAmerica, the astroturfing group set up by the major Hollywood studios, pretending to be a "grassroots effort" in favor of SOPA & PIPA. A month ago, we challenged the group's claim that it had "sent 100,000 letters to Congress." Turns out that wasn't true. They had sent 4,191, and then about 33,000 people had "signed a petition" that the group had set up. The math by CreativeAmerica is that each thing sent out three letters: one to your Congressional Representative and one to each of your two Senators. Of course, petitions are mostly ignored. Letters have only slightly more weight -- and based on Creative America's own math, they really only had about 1,400 people sign their letter.
Either way, it seemed somewhat amusing to discover that some of the top execs at NBC Universal have been threatening all NBC Universal suppliers to sign the letter that CreativeAmerica put together or NBC might no longer be able to do business with them:
We are writing to ask you for help on an issue that is one our top business priorities – content theft on the Internet, which is a major threat to the strength of our business. Our major guilds and unions are joining us in the fight to keep our businesses strong so that the tidal wave of content theft does not kill jobs. But if the current trend continues, it's not too strong to say that this threat could adversely affect our business relationship with you.Grassroots effort? When NBC Universal's General Counsel, Rick Cotton -- who famously once claimed that piracy was destroying the lowly corn farmer, since people who watch pirated movies don't eat popcorn (or something) -- is threatening suppliers who don't sign on? That's not grassroots. That's just insane. Now, it's true that Cotton wrote this carefully such that you can read it to suggest it means that if this law doesn't pass, NBC Universal's business will be in so much trouble that it has to shut down or cut off deals with suppliers. But it seems pretty clear that the obvious implication is: sign this or we may no longer do business with you.
But, given that "the big guns" at NBC Universal are pushing all their suppliers to directly sign (or else!) the letter found at CreativeAmerica's site, you might think that a lot more people would have signed on. Especially over the last month, with SOPA making so much news. So we went and checked.
That gives us 161 new signatures (actually 160.666666 etc -- which makes me wonder what happened to that extra third of a person). 161. In a month.
Meanwhile, a real grassroots campaign turned out one million emails to Congress and 87,834 calls in one day. It should be clear at this point that the public clearly does not support SOPA/PIPA, and no amount of "faking it" is driving any public support.

Teacher resources and professional development across the curriculum
Teacher professional development and classroom resources across the curriculum
Becky Pursley's first-grade students are confident and willing to take risks, especially in reading and writing workshops. Structured to meet the diverse needs of her students -- who range from emergent readers to those nearing the end of second grade -- workshops allow students to choose their work and to interact with each other. In reading workshops, choices include independent reading or "Readers' Theater," an opportunity to build fluency and intonation while reading to the class. In writing workshops, students read their written work aloud, edit using an editing checklist, then "publish" and share their writing with the whole group. Whether in workshops, shared reading, or one-on-one interactions, Ms. Pursley helps students to problem solve when reading and writing and to verbalize challenges they encounter.

The Australian Newspaper Plan (ANPlan) is an ambitious, ongoing program designed to collect and preserve every newspaper published in Australia, guaranteeing public access to these important historical records.
Do you know the whereabouts of a missing newspaper?
The overall aim of the ANPlan collaboration is to preserve all Australian newspapers and to give the public access to them.
ANPlan lets you access our newspaper heritage.
Search Australian content in Digitised newspapers on Trove. Libraries, historical societies and other organisations are invited to contribute to Digitised newspapers on Trove. To find out about how you can help us to build this resource, read our contributor guidelines or contact us on (02) 6262 1005 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
ANPlan is a cooperative initiative of National and State Libraries Australasia. ANPlan relies on collaboration between the National Library of Australia and the other partners, Australia's state and territory libraries, and the National Library of New Zealand.
Under ANPlan, primary responsibility for a newspaper rests with the state or territory library in the state/territory of the newspaper's origin. The National Library of Australia shares responsibility for ACT newspapers with the ACT Heritage Library and has assumed responsibility for a number of newspapers that are national in scope, coverage and distribution (Australian, Australian Financial Review, National Times, Nation Review and Independent Monthly). ANPlan is currently coordinated by the National Library of Australia.
The Australian partners report annually on progress made against a set of Key Indicators and towards a national five year plan to locate, acquire, preserve and provide access to Australian newspapers.

While the new monument opened with little fanfare in recent days, the attraction has received a large amount of attention after a New York Times story in late July stated that the facility would be closed through much of the month of August.
"The monument is now a place where we can all be proud to send people," said Charlie DeLorme, Director of San Juan County Economic Development. DeLorme praised the efforts of Cleal Bradford, who chairs the committee that oversaw the reconstruction effort.
"The new facility features a great plaza and wonderful interpretive displays," added DeLorme.
The site of the monument was brought into question in 2009, when a simple survey suggested the monument does not sit over the site where Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico meet.
The actual point may have been 600 yards west of the monument at the time of statehood, but the legally recognized Four Corners is now at the point where the plaza sits.
In other economic development matters, DeLorme reports that the summer tourist trade is strong, with several properties reporting record-breaking business. "In many places, we are at 2008 levels, which is considered the standard," said DeLorme.
Representatives of the Economic Development Corporation of Utah (EDCU) will be in San Juan County later this month to help businesses and communities create information designed to help attract business expansion and development in the county. San Juan County recently became a member of EDCU.

RAMALLAH, West Bank, Nov. 4 (UPI) -- Israeli leaders gave a mixed reception to calls by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to renew peace talks with Israel.
President Shimon Peres lauded Abbas, while Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and other government ministers, as well as Hamas, rejected the Palestinian leader's words.
Speaking on Israel Radio Sunday morning, Homeland Security Minister Avi Dichter accused Abbas of playing a double game. "His Channel 2 interview in English was clearly slated for an American audience, later in an interview in Arabic he said something entirely different, which shows he is not a partner for peace," Dichter said.
In Friday's interview in his Ramallah office, Abbas said as long as he is president there will never be armed resistance, a third intifada against Israel. "There is no justification for rockets from Gaza or anywhere else," Abbas said. "Rockets attacks are in vain because they do not bring peace any closer."
The Palestinians want to complete negotiations on the two-state solution, based on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as the capital of a future Palestinian state, Abbas said.
"Can he [Netanyahu] do it now? And tomorrow I will go and sit with him," he declared. Abbas said the future Palestinian state includes the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem. He said he would like to visit his birthplace Safed, a city in northern Israel, but does not want to live there. "This is now and forever. This is Palestine for me. I am a refugee, but I am living in Ramallah. I believe that the West Bank and Gaza are Palestine and the other part is Israel."
Peres said Abbas has proved himself a true partner for peace. In a statement issued Saturday night, Peres said "Israel is a peace-seeking country and as such we must extend a brave hand in peace to a leader like Abu Mazen [Abbas]. ... Abbas rejected terror, he knows very well that the solution to the Palestinian refugee problem won't be found within Israel and won't compromise Israel's character."
Netanyahu rejected the Palestinian leader's words, but said his offer to meet Abbas still stands, a statement released by Netanyahu's office said.
"Abu Mazen (Abbas) refuses for four years now to renew the negotiations with Israel, and this despite a whole series of steps that Prime Minister Netanyahu has taken to allow for the resumption of talks, including the unprecedented settlement freeze [of housing starts for 10 months that ended in September 2010] in Judea and Samaria," the statement said.
Hamas also criticized Abbas. Ismail Hanniyeh, Hamas prime minister in Gaza called Abbas's statements "extremely dangerous." "No Palestinian would accept ceding the right of our people to return to homes, villages and towns from which they were displaced," he said in a statement to Arab media outlets, broadcast on Israeli television channels.
"No Palestinian would accept ceding the rights of our people to return to homes, villages and towns from which they were displaced. If Abu Mazen (Abbas) does not want Safed, Safed would be honored not to host people like him," Ma'an news agency quoted Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri saying.

West Indies 197 for 6 (Chase 50*, Holder 10*, Kuldeep 3-50) v India
playAgarkar: Roston Chase showed his class againAjit Agarkar lauds Roston Chase for showing good application and holding West Indies' innings together in Hyderabad
West Indies had everything going for them - toss, flat pitch, injured opposition bowler - except their actual batting on the first day of the Hyderabad Test. India made a good comeback after a profligate start and the injury to debutant Shardul Thakur. R Ashwin provided the control, Kuldeep Yadav the mystery, and Umesh Yadav came back with reverse-swing. Only Roston Chase managed to resist India for a considerable amount of time, moving to an unbeaten 50 by tea, but the bulk of the West Indies line-up struggled to attune itself to the rhythms of Test cricket.
West Indies swung madly between ultra-aggressive and ultra-defensive batting as opposed to just playing, to just let their natural batting take over in good batting conditions. There seemed to be a lot of predetermination to how they went about batting. Kieran Powell, Shimron Hetmeyer and Sunil Ambris were a shot-a-minute and Kraiig Brathwaite blocked everything. Despite getting two gifted boundaries in the first over, Brathwaite scored 6 off the next 62 balls he faced. The other three showed little faith in their defence, or ability to pick Kuldeep's variations.
The day had begun positively enough. Jason Holder was back, he called correctly at the toss, Umesh was loose with the new ball, and Thakur walked off with a groin injury in only his second over. It is worth noting Thakur came back from the Asia Cup with a groin injury, which should raise more questions about India's handling of injuries.
The rest of the day, though, put these uncomfortable thoughts behind. Ashwin and Kuldeep controlled the scoring and were rewarded with a wicket each before lunch. Powell continued his extremely attacking approach, stepping out to Ashwin and hitting him over mid-on second ball. Eventually he played a shot too many, and chipped Ashwin to extra-cover for 22 off 30 balls. Despite that early boundary, Ashwin only conceded seven runs off his first 10.2 overs.
This chokehold from Ashwin allowed Kuldeep to go through his bag of tricks at the other end. He began by trapping Brathwaite lbw with stock delivery following a wrong'un landing on a similar line. That the batsmen were not reading Kuldeep out of the hand was to become more obvious after the lunch break: the left-hand batsman Hetmeyer padded up a wrong'un, and right-hand batsman Sunil Ambris tried to hit him over mid-on but the wrong'un went to cover for an easy catch.
Apart from Chase, who looked hardly troubled at all in his fifty, as should be the case on this pitch, Shai Hope and Shane Dowrich showed you could bat normally: keep the good balls out, and attack the bad ones. They both fell to the returning Umesh just before the two breaks. With the older ball, Umesh found better control, and reverse-swing, to dismiss both lbw.
Chase, who was in control of 78 of the 81 balls he faced, had only Holder to look to for support if West Indies were going to get a respectable total.

The Quilt Life ...And As I See It...
...And The Quilt Life As I See It...
Alex Anderson
Early on, I learned that "quilting" involved more than sewing patches of fabric together. Up until my last semester in college, I thought I would be a weaver for life, but once the needle, thread, and quilt frame found their natural home in my lap, the loom no longer held any appeal. Quilting would be the perfect avenue for expressing my art in cloth.
In 1978, I stumbled upon a quilt show in Oakland, California. My heart stopped at seeing quilts hanging as art. At that moment, I recognized that quilts are made for many reasons. Realizing that I could be an artist and work in cloth was a "light bulb moment" for me.
In the 1970s, quilting in the San Francisco Bay area was advancing at warp speed. The East Bay Heritage Quilters was a vibrant guild that brought cutting-edge quilt artists to stretch their members' creative process. Before long, a mini-group formed that met monthly. We called ourselves Strings. I was the "baby" in the group and these women were not only mentors in quilting, but also mentors of life.
As my kids grew, so did my involvement with quilting. Before I knew it, almost everything in my life was quilt-oriented. Many milestones along the quilt journey gave me a"buzz"—taking the extra bedroom as my dedicated studio; getting a loan from Dad to purchase my first Bernina; having my first two quilts published (in Quilts! Quilts!! Quilts!!! by Diana McClun and Laura Nownes); winning that first (and only) Best of Show ribbon; and when my in-laws traveled all the way from Los Angeles to baby-sit so I could attend a quilting retreat.
Little did I know that I was establishing a lifestyle as well as a lifelong passion. Our craft is about inspiration, creativity, community, charity, and so much more. When the American Quilter's Society invited Ricky and me to create a brand-new magazine, the spin was easy. Welcome to the pages of The Quilt Life, where quilting is more than making a quilt. Let our creative lifestyle continue…together.
Alex Anderson's love of quilting all began in 1978 when she completed her Grandmother's Flower Garden Quilt as a part of her work towards her degree in art from San Francisco State University. Alex is the author of 30 books in four languages, selling near 1 million copies worldwide. Her quilts and instruction tips have also appeared in numerous magazines. She is the National Spokesperson for Bernina of America, a promotional partner for AccuQuilt's Go!, as well as a designer of her own line of fabrics with P&B Textiles, and threads with Superior Threads. For 11 years, she served as host of Simply Quilts on HGTV. Alex continues to be one of the most sought after instructors and lecturers in the international quilting and sewing industry.
Alex was chosen as the 2008 Silver Star Award winner given annually by the International Quilt Festival to a person "whose work and influence has made –– and continues to make –– a sizable and positive impact on the quilting industry and community."
Alex's personal mission is not only to share her love of quilting with anyone who will listen, but to educate and encourage those interested in quilting as clearly and simply as possible, so quilting can continue to be handed down from generation to generation.
Alex has two children and lives in Northern California with her husband.

GodsDaughter needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 51 designs submitted by 22 freelance designers.
Looking for a logo that calls to mind sleek strength, focused upward with purpose and calling.
GPS Fitness
I would like a logo that is simple and sleek, yet futuristic and forward. With the name and concept playing off the idea of a GPS device in a car (which provides you a map to your chosen destination, no matter where you are) the GPS Fitness program will provide a personalized exercise, diet, and emotional and spiritual growth plan to users based on their current real and perceived "location" in life.
- A title of "GPS Fitness" (with a superscript "TM" to the upper right of "Fitness")
- Subtitle - "Your Personalized Guide to Physical and Spiritual Fitness"
- Deep reds and shiny metallic and dark undertones and outlines in an elegant, sleek, minimalist, high-value, and reader-friendly design are features of the current site and program plan and should be cohesive with this logo as well
- Anything that can visually incorporate the ideas of pointing the way upward or allowing a way or path to be followed - while also incorporating a feeling of stability and ease of use will be noted and appreciated.
- Something too intricate to be reproduced easily
Find out how a design contest works or learn more about our logo design services.

A play set after a night shift. A slapstick comedy at a petrol station, bitter as morning coffee. A western-like report from a region at the edge of the world. Why is the nearby glassworks being closed down? What has Minister Drápela up his sleeve? What is going to happen to all the cutters and blowers? Where have their men gone? Where does Draha disappear at night? Where is Reichman taking little Karla? How much does a shot of Fügner cost? What is going on at the cemetery?

AUBURN, Ala. (AP) Marshall Henderson scored 15 points and made the game-winning free throws with 7 seconds remaining to lift No. 23 Mississippi over Auburn 63-61 on Saturday night.
Henderson went to the line with the score tied after an off-the-ball foul was called on Shaq Johnson as Ole Miss (17-2, 6-0 Southeastern Conference) was inbounding under its own basket. Frankie Sullivan's last-second heave for Auburn was off the mark, and the Rebels escaped.
LaDarius White led Ole Miss with 17 points and Jarvis Summers added 14.
Chris Denson had 18 points for Auburn (8-11, 2-4).
Ole Miss won it on free throws after a poor shooting night from the line overall. The Rebels were 2 of 15 before Henderson made two in the final seconds.
Auburn led 33-31 at halftime and by as many as nine before Ole Miss came charging back in the second half.

The X Windowing System is an open source window manager that's used to draw windows in most free operating systems, including GNU/Linux, the *BSDs, and Solaris. It was ported to OS X in the form of the XQuartz project and is distributed with Tiger and Leopard install DVDs. You can also download it here if you're using Leopard (10.5), here if you're using Tiger (10.4), or here if you're using Panther (10.3).
Once it's installed, you can do a lot of cool stuff. For instance, you can run many more open source programs than before (check out Fink and Darwinports), and (more importantly for me) you can X-forward from any other computer that is currently running X.
What that means is that you can open an instance of an X-native program from another computer using your Mac and it will seem (to you) as though it were running on your Mac (i.e., you will have a window appear on your desktop that you can move, minimize, etc., but it uses the other computer's resources). It ends up being sort of like a remote desktop--such as VNC--but faster and without affecting the experience of local users. For example, I use X-forwarding to run programs from my Linux media center while my wife watches videos.
To do it, the remote computer you want to X-forward from has to have an SSH client--such as OpenSSH--installed. Once that is in place, open the Terminal.app on your Mac (located in Applications > Utilities by default) and type:
ssh -X email@example.com have to use an account that already exists on the remote computer. It will then ask for the account's password. You will then be logged-in to the remote machine via your local terminal. Your command prompt will also change to reflect this:
Now, you can run programs via this terminal and any windows will be drawn on your local computer (i.e., your Mac) instead of the remote computer.
Here is what it looks like when I forward the Linux QT4 GUI for HandBrake to my Mac:
As you can see, the widgets look a little weird, and the font is clunky, but it's fully functional and has much lower latency than other remote access methods. Also, thanks to the ssh connection (also known as an 'ssh tunnel'), your connection cannot be spied upon, even if you X-forward across the Internet. Leave me a comment if you have any questions or run into any problems.
