2010 ALA Annual Program
IRRT and the US State Department Expand the Reach of Conference on a Global Scale
Participants from 41 countries virtually joined a roomful of conference-goers in DC at a program co-sponsored by the International Relations Round Table (IRRT) Connections and Sister Libraries Committees. The U.S. State Department streamed the program live to U.S. Embassies and American Corners worldwide.
There were a total of 141 logins (often representing IRC or American Corner groups) from the following locations:
The U.S., Jamaica, Mexico, Costa Rica, Colombia, Venezuela, Chile, Paraguay, Argentina, Brazil, Morocco, Mali, Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana, Benin, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, France, Italy, Finland, Lithuania, Belarus, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Serbia, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Turkey, Georgia, Armenia, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Vietnam, China, Philippines, Malaysia, and Australia.
Four panelists spoke about the mechanics of starting international library exchanges and sister libraries and a library cooperation agreement was ceremonially signed between October 6 University in Egypt and Troy University in Alabama. In the photograph below, Dr. Henry Stewart (Left), Dean of Libraries at Troy University and Dr. Maurice Mikhail of October 6 University celebrate the signing of their sister library agreement.
The program, "Building Bridges to Establish International Partnerships: The Nuts and Bolts," explained how to start international library partnerships to exchange knowledge and staff. Richard Blake, Librarian, Waynesburg University and Sandy Chen, Assistant Professor, Clarion University of Pennsylvania, presented their successful blueprints for cooperative ventures with Taiwan. They were followed by Henry Mendelsohn, Regional Information Resource Officer, U.S. Embassy, Cairo, and Dr. Maurice A. Mikhail, Consultant to Mubarak Public Libraries, Egypt, who discussed the first steps to begin the process and garner diet pills support.
The videos are now available for online viewing or download to your own computer:

It was an exciting experience to witness so many international and internationally-minded librarians in a room together. From among several prominent guests was one from the Netherlands, Dr. Ingrid Bon of the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), Section Libraries for Children and Young Adults, who introduced IFLA's similar Sister Libraries Project to the 150 attendees to the program: http://www.ifla.org/en/libraries-for-children-and-ya/projects . It was also awe-inspiring to be "connected" to—and by—such dedicated technical professionals from the State Department. Nevertheless, there is much yet to be done. Henry Mendelsohn summed it up as follows: "The challenge for all of us is to build on this energy and improve our international weight loss supplements connections and exchanges."

I guess it would have been nice if I told you that my Father's name was Paul Leo Jonnson, sometimes using only Leo
I'm looking for my Father's family
My father and I never really knew each other. We were not in contact with each other between the time I was seven or so to when I turned 21. Even then we developed an uneasy friendship not a father-son relationship. So when he died in 1986 I regretted the fact that I had never asked him who was his parents. I'm told my father has over 20 children and that I'm one of the youngest.
Thru my job I found out that I have two younger sisters residing in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and Stone Mountain, Georgia. I guess I just want to know where he came from. I'm told he was born in Arkansas.

Largest criminal fines assessed against companies in the US
BP said Thursday it has agreed to pay $4.5 billion in a settlement with the federal government over the April 2010 explosion of the drilling rig Deepwater Horizon. The agreement includes nearly $1.3 billion in criminal fines, with the rest of the money going to several government-related entities. The criminal fine is the largest in U.S. history and eclipses a 2009 fine against drug-maker Pfizer Inc.
Here's a look at the largest criminal fines assessed against companies in the U.S., according to the Justice Department:
1. $1.256 billion in criminal fines, November 2012, against BP PLC for various charges related to the 2010 explosion of the Deepwater Horizon and the resulting oil spill. An estimated 172 million gallons of crude spilled into the Gulf, fouling marshes and beaches, killing wildlife and closing vast areas to fishing. Eleven workers died in the blast. The spill was the nation's worst offshore oil disaster.
2. $1.195 billion, October 2009, against Pfizer Inc. as part of a settlement of criminal and civil allegations that it promoted the anti-inflammatory drug Bextra for uses and dosages the Food and Drug Administration had rejected because of safety concerns.
3. $956.8 million, plus $43.2 million in forfeitures, October 2010, as part of a GlaxoSmithKline PLC settlement for misbranding the drugs Paxil and Wellbutrin and for failing to report post-approval studies of the drug Avandia to the Food and Drug Administration.
4. $700 million, May 2012, against Abbott Laboratories Inc. as part of a settlement for unlawful promotion of the prescription drug Depakote.
5. $515 million fine and $100 million forfeiture, January 2009, against Eli Lilly and Co. as part of a settlement for off-label marketing of antipsychotics.

Joshua F Bennett (b. 1794 Kentucky) was my fraternal fourth great-grandfather. He and his family came to Texas before 1850, and were living in Travis County for the 1850 United States Federal Census. He is my "oldest" Texas ancestor, having arrived here the earliest (so far…).
According to Ancestry.com, the surname Bennett is English, derived from "the medieval personal name Benedict (Latin Benedictus meaning 'blessed'). In the 12th century the Latin form of the name is found in England alongside versions derived from the Old French form Beneit, Benoit, which was common among the Normans."
The Internet Surname Database provides the following information about surname Bennett:
This interesting surname derives from the medieval given name "Benedict", from the Latin "Benedictus" meaning blessed. This personal name owed its popularity in the Middle Ages chiefly to St. Benedict (circa 480 – 550), who founded the Benedictine order of monks at Monte Cassino, and wrote a monastic rule that formed a model for all subsequent rules. There were many versions of the name throughout Europe, and in England in the 12th Century the Latin form of the name can be found alongside versions derived from the Old French forms "Beneit" and "Benoit", which were popular among the Normans. The surname dates back to the early 13th Century (see below). London Church Records list the christening of Dennys Bennett on June 15th 1567 at St. Mary at Hill, and the christening of Thomas Bennit on December 1st 1583 at St. John's, Hackney. One John Bennett was an early emigrant to the New World; he is recorded as sailing in the "Plaine Joan" from London in May 1635, bound for Virginia. A Coat of Arms granted to a Bennett family is silver, a chevron between three red lions' heads erased. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of William Benet, which was dated 1208, in the "Charter Rolls of Durham", during the reign of King John, known as "Lackland", 1199 – 1216. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.
Most of my Bennetts were cattle ranchers, first in Texas, then in Wyoming in the early 20th century.
One Bennett brother, James Bennett, Jr, grandson of Joshua F Bennett, apparently was a "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" kinda guy, having killed a man in San Saba County, Texas ca 1880, then fleeing to Wyoming, where he robbed several banks there and in Montana and even Canada, and was eventually killed trying to rob a bank in Glendive, Montana.
A second grandson of Joshua F was Thomas Joshua Bennett, who became a physician and was elected as president of the Texas State Medical Association:
Those Bennett boys where certainly an interesting and colorful bunch!

The birding community reacted with great enthusiasm. Jeffrey Giordano, president of the American Birders' Society said. "This is AWESOME! A new bird for our members to chase after. This will certainly be our Bird of the Year for 2013!" (And I'm hoping I'll get to paint it then, too! I mean, not to be a Bird of the Year hog, but...who you gonna call, right?)

Lol! Susan E
Science fiction?.....Thrush crossed Dipper?....Good for the coal companies?!....O rite of April 1! Made me laugh out loud.... :>)
Kathy in Delray Beach
Had me going for awhile.
I think you and FC are birds of a feather!!! Since I am not too far into birding, I bit the whole kernal. Just call me a sap sucker!!!
tammy in Al.
A great way to start my day and month, with a good round of chuckling. I'll be "sharing" this one! Thanks for the smiles!
I knew that Giordano character didn't care about anything but listing!
Leave it you, Julie, to inject some biting commentary into this annual tradition. Superb!
It is funny, as I had also found a "specialist" in my neck of the woods in Western PA: Marcellus's Dipper, a little-known species that survives downstream from pumping stations, with the specialty of being able to walk on floating gas well effluence, gleaning bugs from low-hanging shrubs and branches. They lay their eggs UNDERWATER, utilizing magma-warmed fissures along our newly-created fault lines from the earthquakes. Perhaps I should have you illustrate that, too... as Jimi said, "'scuze me while I groan and sign..."
Oh my, you had me almost until the end!
Wow! This is AMAZING! But Julie doesn't take in hype like that. Oh wait, what day is it? You got me.:)
Your luckiness knows no bounds! Such an amazing sight! I'm thinking that next year you're going to see and paint the missing link between dinosaurs and birds. I just know it. It's there in the ravaged mountains, brought to you by Consolation Coal. I'm looking forward to the post.
Fell for Chet's comment on his FB page. Then saw the comment about April Fool's--but still read the entire tale, er, story about the new bird species. LOL! Ditto what Kirby said: "Leave it you, Julie, to inject some biting commentary into this annual tradition. Superb!" What a work of art even though it brings a tinge of sadness to me. SAVE the natural environment, including reddish-brown bunnehs! :-)
beautiful renderings! Robin Chanin sent me over -- she's a big fan and I hear about your 'doings' all the time from her.
Well, I guess we can now say there is ONE positive of MTR, right?
Love it, love it. Missed the wonderful scientific name at first read.
Warblers that we love are colorful! Did you decide that this drab little species would immediately be recognized as unauthentic? What would your dream warbler look like, Julie? Would love to see your artistic vision!
Three cheers for Mountain Top Removal! Perhaps we'll discover a new species of opportunistic finch that finds wayward seeds floating in the spills that will follow the construction of Keystone XL! Perhaps the Oily Redpoll?..thanks for the laugh
Can't think of anyone better to tell the story of this new found species. Congratulations on your fine and creative rendering!
How eggciting is THIS discovery and honor!!!!! Congratulations.... You star continues to rise....
No. Way. That was the Company's response? I am... speechless.
I feel stupid. Never mind!
Julie you neglected to mention that they are quick to supplement their diet with any unexploded dynamite they find lying around.
Julie, found it, the infamous "Dun Mountain Warbler". Great goof, complete with your signature fab narrative and honesty - really lovely art! The whole thing is clever and so fun. Absolutely LOVED the quote from the CCC about eggs rolling and family values - HI-LARIOUS! Thanks for directing me to this vintage blog, a real gem. BTW, was able to snag a copy of Letters From Eden off Amazon, and it's in pristine condition! Arrived yesterday pm, just prior to my reading of the Dump post. Lee and I flipped threw quickly; what a gorgeous book! That painting for winter with the bluebird on sumac - OMG. Beautiful beautiful. Now, we have both books, and are really looking forward to reading and savoring words and art. Also, love the photos on your blog including your kids and that goofy one of Chet with his lips wrapped around something or other. Later.......C.
Credit Bill Thompson III, spokesperson for Consolation Coal, for that quote about eggs rolling down mountains. Classic!

Change the World Without Taking Power: The Meaning of Revolution Today
Pluto Press, Mar 20, 2002 - Political Science - 256 pages
The series of demonstrations since Seattle have crystallised a new trend in left-wing politics. Popular support across the world for the Zapatista uprising and the enthusiasm which it has inspired has led to new types of protest movement that ground their actions on both Marxism and Anarchism. These movements are fighting for radical social change in terms that have nothing to do with the taking of state power. This is in clear opposition to the traditional Marxist theory of revolution which centres on taking state power. In this book, John Holloway asks how we can reformulate our understanding of revolution as the struggle against power, not for power.After a century of failed attempts by revolutionary and reformist movements to bring about radical social change, the concept of revolution itself is in crisis. John Holloway opens up the theoretical debate, reposing some of the basic concepts of Marxism in a critical development of the subversive Marxist tradition represented by Adorno, Bloch and Lukacs, amongst others, and grounded in a rethinking of Marx's concept of 'fetishisation'-- how doing is transformed into being. The struggle for radical change, Holloway argues, far from being marginalised, is becoming more and more embedded in our everyday lives. Revolution today must be understood as a question, not as an answer.

MR. TIM RUSSERT: Our issues this Sunday—only one week to the Iowa caucuses. Howard Dean, Dick Gephardt, John Edwards, and this man, John Kerry, battle to the wire. Can the one-time front-runner Kerry re-ignite his campaign? We'll ask him. Our guest: Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts.
Then, which issues are resonating with the Iowa voters? And the Internet—how important is it in Decision 2004? Insights and analysis from David Broder of The Washington Post, Ron Brownstein of the Los Angeles Times, Roger Simon of U.S. News & World Report and Chuck Todd of the National Journal Hotline.
And Senator John Kerry is joining us from Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Senator Kerry, good morning.
SEN. JOHN KERRY, (D-MA): Good morning, Tim. How are you?
MR. RUSSERT: All right. Let me show you and America...
SEN. KERRY: How about our Patriots first?
MR. RUSSERT: We'll get to the...
SEN. KERRY: I'm sorry it's not the Bills.
MR. RUSSERT: We'll get to football. Let's do a little politics first. Let me show you and...
SEN. KERRY: Well, that's football, too.
MR. RUSSERT: ...America the very latest tracking polls from Iowa from MSNBC, Reuters and Zogby: Howard Dean at 25; Dick Gephardt, 23; John Kerry, 15; John Edwards, 14; Joe Lieberman, 3; Wesley Clark, 3. And the latest poll from New Hampshire, the American Research Group has Howard Dean at 35; Wesley Clark, 20; John Kerry, 10; Joe Lieberman, 9;Gephardt, 4; Edwards, 3; undecided, 17.
Senator Kerry, about a year ago, maybe perhaps a year and a half, you were widely considered the front-runner, ahead of Howard Dean 2:1 in New Hampshire. You're now loosing to him 3:1 in New Hampshire. What happened?
SEN. KERRY: Now, Tim, it's not important. I don't even accept those polls. This is the same pollster who had Democrats winning every race in the Senate last time and they lost them all. Look, the polls are all over the place. We have very different polls from those. Yesterday, in Iowa, I had 1,000 people at two different rallies. Dean had about 200 with Al Gore. We're moving out here. We have a lot of energy out here. The people of Iowa are independentminded. This isn't about polls. This is about people. This is about health care for Americans. It's about jobs. People are feeling extraordinarily angry about a Medicare bill that pushes seniors off of Medicare into HMOs and gives a windfall profit to the drug companies. I'm telling you, there's energy out here. It is moving. I am confident, and the polls are all over the place. We have very different polls that show a very different outcome. This is not about polls, Tim. This is about people. And we need to focus on that.
MR. RUSSERT: Senator, last two times the Democrats have been successful with Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, they were governors. Do you believe that the Democratic primary electorate has a disposition to nominate governors because they think they're more electable?
SEN. KERRY: No, I don't, Tim. Not at all. And, in fact, if you look back in history—and I've reminded people of this—we've had great presidents who've come out of the Senate: John Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson. Al Gore was a great vice president, out of the Senate. I mean, the fact is that what people are looking for is leadership, real leadership, leadership that can stand up and make America safer in a very dangerous world. This is not a time for governors who have no experience whatsoever in foreign policy and national security and military affairs. And if you need any proof of that, just look at what George Bush has done. This is not a time to hire advisers. This is a time to hire a president, a president who has experience and an understanding of how you really make our nation safer. So we need a president who knows how to negotiate with North Korea directly, who knows that we should be buying up the loose nuclear materials in Russia and making the world safer from potential nuclear dirty bombs. We need a president who knows how to make peace in the Middle East, deal with AIDS globally, go back to the table on global warming. We can't be safe at home, Tim, unless we're safe abroad. We also can't be safe abroad unless we're doing better at home, and I have a 35-year record of fighting in both of those arenas. I think I'm the strongest candidate to run against George Bush.
MR. RUSSERT: Senator, as you sit there in Iowa, back in 1984 you entered the Senate with someone from Iowa named Tom Harkin. He has served with you for 17 years. And yet on Friday he said: "I believe Howard Dean would be the best Democrat to face George Bush." What do you say to the people of Iowa when their senator, who has worked with you for 17 years, chose to support Howard Dean?
SEN. KERRY: Well, I understand he sent an e-mail out to Gephardt's supporters that said that he thought Gephardt would make the best president, but that he thought Howard Dean was going to win. You have to ask Tom Harkin about his own decision. On the same day I had Tom Miller—he is the attorney general of Iowa. He is the largest vote-getter in the state. He's been attorney general since 1978, a man of great respect. And he toured the state of Iowa with me, endorsing me. I have now won the endorsement of three newspapers here in Iowa: the Burlington paper, the Iowa City paper, the Davenport quad cities paper, the Quad-City Times. I'm moving out here in Iowa, Tim. This isn't about endorsements in the end. The people of Iowa are remarkably independent-minded. Teresa and I have been so stunned by the welcome that you receive when you go to farms, you go to Elks Lodges or VFW posts or restaurants. And crowds of people come in, some of them with notebooks, and they sit there and they compare and they listen to your points. They come back again and listen again and ask questions. This is the best working of democracy that I've ever seen. And I believe that next Monday, you and others are going to see a tremendous surprise out here in Iowa. You're going to see democracy working at its best. And the people of Iowa are going to act outside of all the polls, outside of all the pundits, outside of all the endorsements. They're going to make their decision about who they believe can lead America and, frankly, elect not just a president of the United States, but a leader of the free world at a very dangerous time in America's history.
Video: Kerry on the war in Iraq MR. RUSSERT: When you were asked last week what happened to your campaign, you said a war happened. And if you look at the Los Angeles Times survey out this morning, voters in Iowa, the people you're talking about, were asked, would they prefer a candidate who favored the war in Iraq—only 26 percent said yes—or a candidate who opposed the war in Iraq? Sixty-two percent, nearly two-thirds of Iowa Democrats, said they prefer a candidate who opposed the war. As you well know, last October you voted for a resolution authorizing President Bush to go to war in Iraq. How much has that vote damaged your standing amongst Iowa Democrats?
SEN. KERRY: Well, I think Iowa Democrats are listening very carefully, Tim, and they understand that my vote and the vote of Tom Harkin, for instance, and the vote of Hillary Clinton and the vote of Joe Biden, was not a vote specifically to go to war; it was a vote to do what President Bush said he would do, which is hold Saddam Hussein accountable by going to the U.N., working to build a legitimate global coalition, working to have an inspection process that was legitimate and that we were patient about, and finally, the president said he would go to war as a matter of last resort. The president broke every single one of those promises. He broke them to us as senators. He broke them to the Congress. Most importantly, he broke them to the American people. Now, I've fought in a war, Tim. You know that and other Americans know that. I know the responsibility of a commander in chief to send people off to war. And there is no way that I would ever have taken America to war the way George Bush did. He owed us a legitimate last resort. And he didn't. The only way to get the inspectors into Iraq—everybody knows this—was to have that legitimacy of force. We spoke with one voice out of Congress because we needed to for the security of our country. And it was the right thing to do. There was a right way to do this. There was a wrong way to do this. George Bush did it the wrong way. And I have said again and again, I have consistently said, that I believe that he's run the most arrogant, inept, reckless and ideological foreign policy in modern history. And I also remind you, Tim, that Wes Clark and Howard Dean both supported giving the authority to the president of the United States, both said he ought to be disarmed, both said he was a threat, and subsequently switched. So everybody exercised that authority at that time, and I think a lot of people aren't aware of that.
MR. RUSSERT: Joe Lieberman, your Democratic colleague, said it this way, Senator: "I thought that John Kerry's statement in his announcement address, that he voted for the resolution just to threaten Saddam Hussein, was unbelievable. It was clearly an authorization for President Bush to use force against Saddam. We don't need a waffler in charge of our country's future."
SEN. KERRY: It was an authorization, if the president held accountable what he said. Absolutely, Tim. No question about it. Absolutely. I believed we needed to have Saddam Hussein held accountable. But you needed to do it right. And doing it right meant going through the United Nations properly, exhausting the remedies of the inspections. It meant taking the time to build a legitimate coalition, not a fraudulent one. And it meant going to war as a last resort. Now, under those circumstances, and those are the circumstances the president promised, yes, of course we would. But the fact is, the president broke that. Now, look, people have known me for a lifetime, Tim. Here's the deal. I've stood up and fought against Richard Nixon's war in Vietnam. I stood up and fought against Ronald Reagan's illegal war in Central America. I led the fight to try to hold Noriega, the general and the dictator in Panama, accountable for drugs and CIA connections. I blew the whistle on Oliver North and his illegal aid network. I've stood up with John McCain and led the fight to make peace in Vietnam. I've had a lifetime record of fighting for reasonable approaches in foreign policy. And if anybody out there believes John Kerry would have led us to war the way George Bush did, they shouldn't vote for me. But if people know my record and know exactly how I've talked and thought about foreign policy seriously, and how we protect the United States, I hope they will respect a lifetime of fighting to make America safer and stronger in a reasonable way. We needed to hold Saddam Hussein accountable. We needed to get the world involved. I tried to do that in 1998 with Bill Clinton. This was entirely consistent...
MR. RUSSERT: Well, what...
SEN. KERRY: ...but there was a right way to do it.
MR. RUSSERT: Senator, you say hold Saddam Hussein accountable. This is what you told Rolling Stone magazine on December 2. "If I were president, we would not be in Iraq today..." So if you were president...
SEN. KERRY: What I told them was we wouldn't have—Tim, what I said...
MR. RUSSERT: No, if—but you said—let me finish, Senator. "If I were president, we would not be in Iraq today..."
SEN. KERRY: What I...
MR. RUSSERT: What that would mean is Saddam Hussein would still be in power if you were president.
SEN. KERRY: What I was talking about, Tim, was how you go to war. We would be in Iraq if it—if we had exhausted the remedies of the inspections and Saddam Hussein had not complied. We would have used the legitimate threat of force. But if, in fact, he had complied, if he had done—look, Colin Powell said, and the president said, there's only one reason to go to war, originally, when that was voted on, and that was weapons of mass destruction. And if you go back and read my speech on the floor of the Senate, and I ask you to do it, I said clearly, "I am voting to hold him accountable for the weapons of mass destruction." And no other reason to go to war. I did not buy into preemption. I never bought into the notion that you should just remove him for the sake of removing him the way Joe Lieberman and others did. I thought that was wrong. When Dick Gephardt and Joe Lieberman went down to the White House and cut their own deal with the president, many of us in the Senate were flabbergasted because we felt that the resolution we were working on was a stronger one. I did what was right to protect the security of our country. I believe the president of the United States made an end-run around the Congress, an end-run around the American people, and I'm going to hold him accountable for doing that.
MR. RUSSERT: You have said that President Bush's foreign policy has made America less safe. "He's creating more terrorists." Where specifically has George Bush created more terrorists?
SEN. KERRY: In Iraq.
MR. RUSSERT: In Iraq? So there are more...
SEN. KERRY: Absolutely.
MR. RUSSERT: ...terrorists in Iraq now than there was when Saddam Hussein was there?
SEN. KERRY: You bet there are, Tim. Every intelligence estimate will tell you that.
Video: Kerry criticizes Dean MR. RUSSERT: You said this about Howard Dean, and this is, I think, at the core of your candidacy against Howard Dean. "...those who believe we are not safer with [Saddam Hussein's] capture don't have the judgment to be President - or the credibility to be elected President." As we speak this Sunday morning, Senator, do you believe that Howard Dean does not have the judgment to be president or the credibility to be elected president?
SEN. KERRY: I think the judgment of a nominee who doesn't understand that having Saddam Hussein captured will make it extraordinarily difficult to be able to beat an incumbent wartime president who captured Saddam Hussein. And let me tell you why, Tim. Saddam Hussein took us to war once before. In that war, young Americans were killed. He went to war in order to take over the oil fields. It wasn't just an invasion of Kuwait. He was heading for the oil fields of Saudi Arabia. And that would have had a profound effect on the security of the United States. This is a man who has used weapons of mass destruction, unlike other people on this Earth today, not only against other people but against his own people. This is a man who tried to assassinate a former president of the United States, a man who lobbed 36 missiles into Israel in order to destabilize the Middle East, a man who is so capable of miscalculation that he even brought this war on himself. This is a man who, if he was left uncaptured, would have continued to be able to organize the Ba'athists. He would have continued to terrorize the people, just in their minds, because of 30 years of terror in Iraq.
MR. RUSSERT: But, Senator...
SEN. KERRY: There isn't a soldier there, Tim, who doesn't understand that the capture of Saddam Hussein helps to reduce the capacity for the insurrection, for the insurgency, and helps move forward. We are safer with the capture of a man who wanted to build weapons of mass destruction and who, actually, had them and used them at one point in time.
MR. RUSSERT: But, Senator, you can just hear the Republicans saying, "John Kerry said if he was president, we would not be in Iraq, and that there are now more terrorists in Iraq, despite the capture of Saddam Hussein. Therefore, John Kerry does not have the judgment or the credibility to be elected president." You can hear the Republican commercials.
SEN. KERRY: Tim, this debate—no, because if you look at what I said, in the fullness of that interview, Tim, as well as in every other interview that I've ever had, I have said we have to hold Saddam Hussein accountable, but I've also said we have to do it in a way that is smart and legitimate. In my speech on the floor of the Senate I made it clear, you are strongest when you act with other nations. All presidents, historically, his father, George Herbert Walker Bush, did a brilliant job of building a legitimate coalition and even got other people to help pay for the war. The American people have been left stranded, almost alone, occupying a Middle Eastern nation in a way that we didn't have to. What I would have done is exhausted the remedies—and I wrote this in The New York Times- I have been consistent and clear, yes, you have to hold Saddam Hussein accountable. Yes, you have to be prepared to go to war, and I'm prepared to go to war if you have to. But a last resort, Tim, means last resort. And one of the lessons I learned in Vietnam is, you better be able to look, as commander in chief, in the eyes of families who lose their son or daughter and say to them, "I tried to do everything in my power to prevent the loss of your son and daughter." I don't think the president passes that test in Iraq. Whether Saddam Hussein is gone or not, we went to war in a rush, we went to war without a plan for winning the peace. This has been a disorganized, haphazard effort. They failed in Afghanistan, to capture Saddam Hussein in Tora-Bora. That was a miserable operation because they refused to put the American military into the operation. I think they are accountable for a foreign policy that had overextended the armed forces of the United States, turned our Reserves and Guard into active duty, and they are even abandoning the veterans who come home by cutting the VA budget by $1.8 billion. We can do a better job of making America more secure.
MR. RUSSERT: Senator, you have said that, as I mentioned, Howard Dean does not have the judgment or credibility to be president, that he would be "eviscerated" by President Bush. Do you believe if the Democratic party nominates Howard Dean, it would be the equivalent of a suicide mission in the general election?
SEN. KERRY: That's for the voters to decide. I have said that I think it is going to be very difficult for a person in a post-September 11 world, who has no foreign policy experience, no national security experience, no military experience, very difficult to stand up against a wartime president and convince America that that person has the ability to make our country safe. And, Tim, you can hear the advertisements now; so can I. We saw what they did to challenge the patriotism of Max Cleland, a triple amputee, a man who left three of his limbs on the ground in Vietnam. They challenged his patriotism. His regret is he didn't stand up and fight back. I'm going to fight back, and I'm going to fight back with Max Cleland at my side and with a lot of other veterans who understand that this war is a war that they rushed into, that they have put our troops at greater exposure of risk than we had to. We could have had other nations in the ground with us. We should have had other nations on the ground with us. We should have had a legitimate plan to secure the nation more effectively, and as long as it's an American occupation, America remains at greater risk. And we're also paying more money out of the pocket of taxpayers than we need to be paying.
MR. RUSSERT: Senator, you can hear Howard Dean watching, saying, "Hold on, John Kerry. You voted to authorize the president to go to war. I'm the only Democrat who opposed this war from day one." Senator, why do you think...
SEN. KERRY: And you know what I'll say? Yeah.
MR. RUSSERT: ...that Howard Dean is doing so well with Democratic voters?
SEN. KERRY: Tim, you know what I'll say right back to Howard Dean if he said that? And I'd love to have a face-to-face debate with him. Let's have you and me and Howard Dean together. Howard Dean, on the 6th of October, five days before we voted on this resolution about authorizing, he stood up and he supported the Biden-Lugar resolution that gave authority to the president to go to war. All the president had to do was write a little letter and say, "I tried to do the diplomacy but it didn't work." Howard Dean exercised the same judgment as the rest of us that he ought to have authority. He just put it under a different resolution and then he could run around later on and say, "Oh, I'm against the war," because he didn't have a recorded vote.
MR. RUSSERT: But why is he doing so well...
SEN. KERRY: He also stood up—just a minute, Tim.
MR. RUSSERT: ...with the Democratic voters?
SEN. KERRY: Tim, I don't think they're aware of that judgment. I don't think they're aware. I think that what's happened is there's been—you know, when you don't vote, you're not accountable. The fact is that I think people are listening now. I know they're listening now. And people are beginning to make up their minds about who can be the nominee. Look, you know, Governor Dean has said that he thinks we have to prepare for the time when America is not the strongest military. I don't. Howard Dean has said that Hamas' soldiers—no one has ever called Hamas soldiers before. Howard Dean has said we don't take sides in the Middle East. We took sides in 1948. Israel's our ally. We always knew that. We can't have a president who is conducting American foreign policy by press release clarification, and we're certainly not going to beat George Bush that way. I think we need somebody who has 35 years of experience, who has been consistent from day one. I said we have to hold Saddam Hussein accountable, but from day one, Tim, I said there's a way to do it. And this president kept going away from the way to do it that was correct. So I believe that I can be trusted to do what's necessary to make the United States secure, and that's what the American people want.
MR. RUSSERT: For the record, a year ago in May, we asked you to debate Governor Dean on health care here on MEET THE PRESS when you were the front-runner and you chose not to. Ironically, he will not debate you now because he's the front-runner which is the way of politics. But let me ask you about George Bush and show you the way The Washington Post described the economic record. "The Dow Jones industrial averaged ended 2003 up 25 percent. The economy grew at a blistering 8.2 percent annualized rate in July, August and September. Housing and other construction are at record highs. Interest rates remain low and ... the manufacturing sector last month expanded at a pace not seen since 1983, when another economic recovery ushered Ronald Reagan toward his landslide reelection." Is the only way the Democrats can win in 2004 is by saying, "We have a bad economy"?
SEN. KERRY: Absolutely not. I hope we have a good economy. I don't think any American should ever wish we have a bad economy, but every statistic that you just read off, Tim, works wonderfully if you're looking at a Republican recovery. You know, corporate profits are up 46 percent, but they're up by consolidation. They're up by increases in productivity. They're not up because Americans are going back to work, and they're not up because Americans are earning more money. Just this last month—yesterday, the president talked about how his tax cuts have been good for the recovery. Well, the fact is they projected 250,000 jobs but they only created a thousand. They're 249,000 jobs short. And every month, there are about 250,000 people who drop out of even looking for work. I met a guy named Bob Anderson in Waterloo the other day. He's 49 years old. He's been out of work for two years. He sends out his resumes. When he goes to have an interview, there are 200 other people there looking for the same job. His wife has been diagnosed with MS. He has no health care. He doesn't know where to turn. There are people like that all over this country who are desperate. The wages of workers, Tim, went up three pennies, meanwhile—three pennies an hour, and the overall wages of workers have gone down $1,500. Meanwhile, Medicare lobbyists have turned a Medicare bill into a windfall profit for the Medicare companies, $139 billion. The energy companies got $50 billion of oil and gas subsidies. Everybody in America understands the economy is tilted against them. The economy—Americans are working for the economy, Tim, but the economy is not working for all Americans. And I believe there's an enormous issue there about the fundamental fairness of the workplace in America.
MR. RUSSERT: Senator, if you do not win Iowa, if you come in third, and come in third in New Hampshire, is your race over?
SEN. KERRY: Tim, I'm going to do great. I'm going to surprise you and a lot of people. I'm fighting for every vote. The one thing people know about me is I'm tenacious. I'm a fighter. I've got great energy out here in Iowa. I am very, very confident about what we're doing.
MR. RUSSERT: Are you going to win?
SEN. KERRY: And I think next Tuesday, you and others are going to be scratching your heads and say, "How did Kerry do it?" And there's a surprise story out of Iowa.
MR. RUSSERT: So you're going to win.
SEN. KERRY: You keep watching. It's going to be a fun ride.
MR. RUSSERT: Are you going to win Iowa?
SEN. KERRY: I'm going to do the best I can. Tim, I'm doing the best I can to give you a good surprise and we're going to keep on working. I'm not making any projections. I'll just tell you this: We had 1,000 people were at two different rallies yesterday. The energy is enormous. I've been endorsed by three newspapers out here. People are coming board—the attorney general. Tomorrow I'll be standing up with 27 legislators in the state of Iowa. That's more legislators than Howard Dean and Dick Gephardt have put together. They're standing with me because they're the people who do the work every day of trying to get things done for their own people, and they believe I'd be the strongest nominee to run with. They believe that I'd be the best president. And I think we're beginning to make great progress out here in Iowa.
MR. RUSSERT: We'll be watching you and the Patriots. Senator...
SEN. KERRY: Oh, I'm glad you've admitted you'll watch the Patriots.
MR. RUSSERT: Thanks very much. We'll see you out in Iowa. Be safe on the campaign trail.
SEN. KERRY: Thank you.
MR. RUSSERT: Coming next: the strategy, the issues and the Internet. David Broder, Ron
Brownstein, Chuck Todd and Roger Simon are next, all coming up right here on MEET THE PRESS.

Japan beat the US, taking the Women's World Cup soccer championship in a penalty shoot-out Sunday night in Germany, a victory that is being savored back home where good news has been in short supply.
After coming from behind twice, Japan finally got a win against the US – on their 26th attempt. Japan beat the US on penalty kicks 3-1 after the final ended 2-2.
The match was full of the kind of open attacking football that has been conspicuous by its absence in recent men's World Cup finals.
Japanese fans who woke up early, or stayed up late to watch the match, which kicked off at 3.45 a.m. local time, were rewarded with seeing the Japan women's team become the first Asian side to win a world title at any level.
Monday was designated a national holiday in Japan, Marine day, which meant sports bars in Tokyo were still full of fans singing happily at 7 a.m.
"I can't believe they're the world champions, it was fantastic the way they never gave up," says Risa Matsumoto, who watched the game at her local bar in Tokyo. "It makes me proud as a Japanese woman."
The players dedicated their performances to the victims of the devastating March 11 earthquake and subsequent tsunami, and said they drew inspiration from the hardships faced in disaster-hit areas. Manager Norio Sasaki showed slides of the destruction to the team before last weekend's victorious quarter-final against hosts and two-time champion Germany.
"It's only a small thing compared to what happened in March, but it was good to have something to feel hopeful about – it was the first time since the disaster," says Hitomi Mizune, who got up to watch the game at home with her young son.
"Seeing the TV news reports of the people in the disaster areas getting excited about the game made me realize that it really can have that kind of positive effect," says Ms. Mizune.
Many in Japan are hoping the "feel-good factor" will translate into enough spending to help lift an economy struggling to recover from the March disasters and electricity shortages caused by the subsequent nuclear crisis. One report in the local media today estimated the victory could boost economic activity by 1 trillion yen, or $12.5 billion.
Never-say-die spirit
Despite appearing overpowered for long periods by the favored US women's team, Japan's team showed the never-say-die spirit they have come to be known for during the tournament.
The US looked set to become three-time champions, after Abby Wambach's powerful header had put them into a 2-1 lead. Japan's own captain marvel, Homare Sawa, came to her team's rescue – as she has done so many times in an 18-year, 80-goal international career – by deftly steering a corner through a crowd of players into the US net.
Then the first three US players failed to convert their penalties, wrapping up the improbably victory for Japan.
At the final whistle, the contrast between the smiling faces of the Japan team and the downtrodden looks on their American counterparts, betrayed how the momentum had shifted in Japan's favor for the penalty shootout. A new name has now been written into World Cup history.
"The team really looked liked they were enjoying themselves, the way they and the manager were smiling before the penalty shootout put a smile on my face too," says Mizune.

Miley Cyrus Reveals Why She Sticks Out Her Famous Tongue So Much
Miley Cyrus' tongue is often a topic of national conversation, since the singer sticks it out so much. It became her thing, her calling card. So what's the deal? Why can't she keep that thing inside her mouth?
As it turns out, it's almost a nervous tick for her.
In her chat with Barbara Walters as part of her Most Fascinating People of 2013 selection, Cyrus confessed, "I get embarrassed to take pictures. That's actually the truth. I'm so embarrassed because people are taking pictures of me and I don't know how to smile, and just be awkward, so I stick my tongue out, because I don't know what else to do."
So she deals with the discomfort of taking pictures by flashing her tongue and being silly. That's actually totally understandable. There's nothing worse for a celeb that has flashbulbs in her face constantly to have poor posture or a stiff stance in photos.
And it's not like she can hide behind a glossy curtain of hair anymore, either!

Nephelium are a band originally from the United Arab Emirates but now has relocated to Toronto, Ontario, Canada that plays a very brutal form of death metal and this is a review of their self released album "Coils Of Entropy" which will be released in Feburary of 2012.
Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming with a good amount of blast beats being thrown in at times, while the bass playing has a very dark tone with riffs that follow the riffing that is coming out of the guitars and at times they have a very powerful sound to them.
Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast brutal death metal riffs that utilize alot of harmonics, while the lead guitars are very chaotic, technical and melodic sounding death metal guitar solos and leads.
Vocals are mostly deep death metal growls with some high pitched screams being thrown in at times, while the lyrics cover annihilation, vengeance and ancient mythology, as for the production it has a very strong, powerful and professional sound to it.
In my opinion Nephilium are a very great sounding brutal death metal band and if you are a fan of this style, you should check out this band. RECEMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Hellborne" "Coils Of Entropy". RECEMMENDED BUY.

The Importance Of An Active Healthy Lifestyle
In the last fifteen years approximately, we've been told that the kitchen connoisseur is essential. Scientists recommend you should be accumulating typically an hour of exercises each day to be able to maintain healthy levels. Just what does time mean? During the period of a normal day, you should be doing some kind of exercise that results in roughly an hour. Whether it's during a workout session around the treadmill or simply within the garden for that mid-day, adding exercise is essential.
First we have to understand what really constitutes exercise. The word Healthy activity could be damaged lower directly into three groups Cardiovascular, Resistance, and Versatility.
Cardiovascular training
It's suggested to complete cardio two or three occasions per week. Based on your level of fitness., cardio can include a pleasant walk together with your dog, or perhaps a energetic operate on the treadmill. Ideally you are attempting to improve your cardio capacity. that has many health advantages.
Strength Training
A part of living an energetic lifestyle is as simple as doing some kind of strength training a minimum of 2 occasions per week. That does not mean you must see a fitness center and strength train, it is simple to get it done in your own home by doing movements as easy as pushup and sit-ups, or by utilizing something similar to resistance bands. Strength training is equally as essential as cardiovascular activity and contributes to your general health.
Versatility (stretching)
Once you exercise, it's suggested you stretch for roughly ten minutes, holding each stretch for 15-thirty seconds. Stretching is vital to keep versatility and lower the risk of injuries from exercise.
Advantages of Exercise
Now we all know that exercising is important, but do you know the really advantages of living an energetic lifestyle? Here are just 5 from the numerous advantages of being active.
Reduces the chance of Dying Prematurely – Individuals living a proper active lifestyle live longer compared individuals who're more sedentary.
Lowers the chance of developing diabetes – Exercise keeps excess fat in charge helping regulate sugar levels
Increase muscular strength – Getting a rise in strength tends to make day to day activities less complicated.
Helps prevent cardiovascular disease – Physical exercise strengthens the center, respiratory system system, and lung area which aids to prevent cardiovascular disease.
Decreases Excess Fat – Exercise plus a balance diet will reduce excess fat considerably.
As you can tell there are lots of excellent advantages of living an energetic lifestyle. With the addition of a tiny bit of cardio, strength training and a few stretching to your health, the general benefits are nearly endless. Basically being healthy is all about adding good balance to your existence. It's not necessary to be considered a Lance Lance armstrong, or perhaps a Venus Johnson that need considering active, you just need to then add extra activities for you routine.

Playing Profitable Shows as a Band: The 25% Rule
A recent article by Last Stop Booking highlighted the fact that touring is now more important than ever. If you have the time, I highly suggest reading through the article to get a basic feeling for how you should be planning your tours as a band.
I'd like to add some tips/ideas to that post by going farther than just giving ballpark numbers and touring radiuses to go off of and instead dive into a profitable tour itinerary that just about any new indie band can use as a template.
Before you begin planning where you can go on tour, it's important to first list your expenses. I recommend keeping an Excel spreadsheet to monitor where your money is being spent and how much each item is costing you on the road so that you can make this a constantly updated process so you have previous data to work from to really hone your touring craft. Some of the most common expenses experienced by bands on the road, both new and old, are as follows: (A sample budget will be posted below.)
Fuel: The most obvious part of any tour is figuring out how much gasoline is going to cost you to go from city to city. To start with, assume that you're paying the national average of $4 a gallon (at the time of writing, I'm hoping that number doesn't rise much higher!). We'll be using this number later on to determine an optimal driving distance for each of your shows.
- Note: The standard Ford E350 touring van that bands use gets 16 miles to the gallon on the highway. This number is often less than the EPA rated highway MPG, so I like to round this down to 14 miles per gallon (MPG) just to be on the safe side. It's always better to overestimate your costs to ensure your budget stays in check.
Food: Food costs are another important factor that you can't leave out. Being on the road with a box of ramen at your side may work for a few days, but eventually you'll have to supply your body with some actual nutrition. Avoid eating at restaurants and fast-food places and instead bring a camping stove, non-perishables, and some fruits and veggies you can buy every few days. These can all be kept in a cooler with a bag of ice that costs a few cents at the gas station you stop at to refill at each day.
- Average Food Cost: Although it may seem tough at first, it's very easy to get by on about$7/day per band member. This usually consists of a protein bar and coffee/juice for breakfast ($1.50 per protein bar and a tub of instant coffee + free hot water at most Starbucks/coffee shops), steamed vegetables (Enough broccoli, green peppers, and green beans can be bought for a meal for $1 per band member) and & ramen/rice (less than 50 cents per serving) for lunch, and some form of tempeh/tofu or other protein and vegetable dish for dinner (a can of beans, corn, and another vegetable can be had for about 80 cents a can and can be cooked in a single pot coming out to another $1 or so per band member if you all eat the same thing). Dried fruits can be made very cheaply and are a great snack on the road. I add in a few extra dollars here and there to account for the candy bar splurges, nice coffee trips, and the inevitable "etc" that each person will probably face. $7/Day per Band Member
Merchandise: Although some bands may not be accustomed to doing this, keeping a running tally of your merchandise expenses on a cost per unit basis will help you not only keep your money straight, it will help you reinvest your money at a later date for a new CD printing venture while on the road or back at home.
- Average Merchandise Cost: It varies wildly from band to band how much their merchandise costs them to print and produce, but for the band we'll be using as an example below, each CD they sell costs them $4 to produce. $4/CD
25% Rule
This rule is self-instated and seems to work well for bands that are just starting out. The 25% rule says that out of the money you make playing a show (including the money you make from selling merchandise) you should be able to keep 25% of it as profit. That means that if the guarantee* that's paid at your shows is $100, $25 should be able to go into your pocket or into the band bank account for future use or to cover unexpected tour expenses.
- *Guarantee: Having a venue give you a guarantee is them saying "no matter what, we'll agree to pay you this amount of money for showing up and performing."
The band I work with is based out of Nashville, TN. Playing once a week in town is enough for them to hold themselves over before going out on the road each weekend. Although they turn a profit during the week from playing locally, we'll put this money out of the picture and simply consider what it is they're spending on the road each weekend when they play out. The cities they decide to play are entirely based on how much they can afford to spend on their expenses and still be able to keep 25% of the revenue brought in by their shows. Confused? Let's take a look.
On average, the band we're talking about safely brings in guarantees of $150 per show that they play. And, their $8 EPs tend to sell at least 2-3 copies per show. Although this number fluctuates, we'll use "2" as our guideline for revenue calculations.
(Before the flack comes rolling in about how $150 isn't that much to be earning per show as a guarantee, know that many of the bands out there first starting out are going to be hard pressed to even get that. I know of plenty of gigs where $75-$100 has been the norm and when you're growing, being able to play anywhere just to build name recognition in a place is more valuable than anything.)
Revenue: $150 (guarantee) + $16 (Merchandise Sales) = $166 per show GUARANTEED
Expenses: $21 (3 band members food costs) + $8 (Merchandise Costs) = $29
25% Profit: 25% of $166 per show = $41.50
Money Left for Gas: $166 – $29 – $41.50 = $95.50
How Far Can You Go?
That last number is the most important part of this whole equation. Knowing how much money is left to pay for gas after every show is what we NEED out of all of these calculations. For easiness sake, we typically say that we have $100 to spend on fuel after every show.
Calculation: ($100 for fuel)/($4 per gallon) = 25 gallons of fuel to use after each show.
25 gallons * 14 MPG = 350 miles of potential travel distance after every show.
BEWARE! - This also has to cover you on the round trip portion of every tour. Although you may have earned enough to go 350 miles to the next city, remember that eventually you'll have to make your way back home. If you're smart in your plan, you can start at home, play a show, and use the gas expenditure you make at that show's $150 guarantee to make your way to city #2 and continue the cycle from there, ultimately ending up back at home.
Using this calculation, you can figure out exactly how far you can afford to travel and which cities will be the most economical for you to hit on any given tour leg. Guessing wildly at a good place to go may work for a little while, but eventually the randomness of it all will catch up to you.
Extra Money?
The budget we did above was very conservative in estimates. We assumed that the band was only going to get a meager $150 per show that they play. We kept the food budget very slimmed down and even built in a few extra dollars of "wiggle room" that could add up to a surprisingly large chunk at the end of things if it doesn't all get spent. In addition, the 2 CD estimate we used was obviously very conservative as well and if the band does well at promoting themselves, this number could jump much higher.
Although extra money could be brought in on a per-show basis, these few extra dollars should also be put aside to cover unforeseen expenses and accidents that may happen.
The great part of being on the road is that things change. Often for the better and sometimes for the worst. Not every show is going to pay $150 as a guarantee and not every show is going to cost you your fuel budget to get to. Having a detailed account of all of your expenses is something that should stay constant though. The sooner you start keeping a detailed account of your band's expenditures, the easier it will be to plan for future tours and expenses.

Nice work, bit for those not familiar with this theory (like myself) could you provide links to some background info, or provide a playground article?
coaxed into adding a graph showing the frequency response?
What I am actually interested in is not a graph of the theoretical response (you can find in the net) but a simulation of the calculation, so I can see if the integer calculation optimizations are ok for the kind of signals I got.

I am struggling with the calculation of the distance between points along a stream (points are located 0-20m away from the stream) in ArcGIS 10. The points are simple xy-data in UTM.
I created a route from the shapefile of the stream and used the tool "locate features along routes" to add the points but how can I now calculate the distances of the points along the route?
Or is there an other tool how to do such a calculation?

Congressional hopefuls Archie Parnell, Josh Thornton and David Kulma debated key issues Friday night – and targeted absent GOP candidate Ralph Norman – at a Rock Hill candidate forum hosted by the state NAACP.
Noticeably absent from the American Values Forum was Norman, who was listed on the original press releases for the event but later canceled his appearance, citing a scheduling conflict.
Members of Lancaster County's legislative delegation were in Columbia on Tuesday for a special called session of the General Assembly to approve next year's state budget.
During the session, lawmakers considered an $8 billion general fund budget worked out last week by the six-member Conference Committee noted for funding increases for schools, including the University of South Carolina Lancaster, and the state's pension fund.
The city of Lancaster's biggest recruiting tool in its quest to replace the departing Duracell operation, Jamie Gilbert says, is the quality of Duracell's workforce.
"We've been out there several times in the last couple of months," said Gilbert, Lancaster County's economic development director. "What you see is a workforce that is as committed and dedicated to get the job done as they were prior to the announcement they were closing.
KERSHAW – Town officials hope that finding and fixing a gigantic water leak will save Kershaw enough money to offset several unavoidable expense increases in the proposed $3.9 million budget for 2017-18.
The budget, which passed first reading May 15, does not include a property tax increase at this point, though that might change before second reading. The town is awaiting information on how much it will get through the local-option sales tax.
"It's going to be tight again. It always is," said Mayor Mark Dorman.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands, April 26 (UPI) -- A U.N.-backed war crimes court Thursday convicted former Liberian President Charles Taylor of war crimes for aiding ruthless rebels in neighboring Sierra Leone
The judges, sitting in The Hague, Netherlands, convicted Taylor, 64, of aiding and abetting in the commission of 11 war crimes or crimes against humanity during overlapping wars in Liberia and neighboring Sierra Leone.
Taylor, who had pleaded not guilty, stood with his hands clasped in front of him as the court read the list of offenses, including acts of terrorism, murder, violence to life, rape, sexual slavery, outrage of personal dignity, cruel treatment, inhumane acts, use of child soldiers, enslavement and pillaging, The Guardian reported.
He is the first sitting or former head of state judged by a U.N.-backed war-crimes court for conduct considered so treacherous as to be illegal.
The court adjourned, scheduling a hearing for May 16, during which Taylor will have 30 minutes to speak. Sentencing is scheduled for May 30.
After four years of hearings at the Special Court for Sierra Leone, the court found the one-time guerrilla leader provided support for rebels during their horrific reign in Sierra Leone.
The court found from 1996 to 2002, the rebel Revolutionary United Front committed crimes that terrorized civilian populations, including murder, rape, sexual slavery and forced amputations in Sierra Leone.
Judge Richard Lussick of Samoa said more than a thousand children had the letters 'RUF' carved into their backs to prevent them escaping. Children were used to amputate limbs, guard diamond mines and hunt for food. Some were involved in fighting.
The judge said Taylor told RUF commanders to seize and hold the diamond mines in Sierra Leone so that he could trade the precious stones for arms and ammunition.
The court has also found that Taylor knew as early as August 1997 about the rebels' reign of terror in Sierra Leone and had covertly fueled the conflict by providing arms and ammunition to the RUF, helping to undermine peace efforts.
The court said Taylor received "blood" or "conflict" diamonds from the rebels that were sometimes used to buy arms and ammunition, the BBC reported. Diamonds from Sierra Leone are of better quality than those mined in Liberia.
Prosecutors had alleged Taylor used his power as president of Liberia to advise and provide resources and weapons to Sierra Leone's rebels, whose 1991-2002 uprising he considered similar to the guerrilla movement he led in his own country.
The three most senior surviving Revolutionary United Front leaders -- Issa Sesay, Morris Kallon and Augustine Gbao -- were convicted in February 2009 of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Among those who testified during Taylor's trial was supermodel Naomi Campbell, who told the court she received "blood diamonds" from Taylor's aides.
An estimated 50,000 people were killed in the 11-year civil war, which ended after the British Armed forces, with help from the United Nations and Guinean air support, defeated the RUF.

A federal judge has ordered the state's prison chief to swear under oath he is making an earnest effort to find a surgeon willing to perform gender reassignment surgery on convicted killer Michelle Kosilek, who killed his wife as a man but now identifies as a woman.
In a ruling filed in US District Court, Judge Mark Wolf ordered Department of Correction Commissioner Luis S. Spencer to sign status reports detailing the search for a surgeon under oath, and to also swear under the pain of perjury that he has personally read Wolf's seven-page order.
"The court finds that it is appropriate to require more detailed monthly reports, signed under oath by Spencer . . . to determine whether there is any possible willful disobedience,'' Wolf wrote.
Last September, Wolf ruled that Kosilek's Eighth Amendment right against cruel and unusual punishment was being violated by the DOC because the state agency had balked at providing taxpayer-financed gender reassignment surgery for the inmate.
Wolf ruled that Kosilek, who identified as Robert Kosilek when he strangled his wife, Cheryl McCaul, in 1990, is entitled to the surgery because it is a medically necessary treatment for her gender identity disorder.
But Wolf then ruled that the surgery would be put on hold while the Patrick administration appeals his controversial decision — provided that the DOC prepares to have the surgery quickly performed, should the long-running legal battle quickly end.
In his newest order, Wolf wrote that the DOC and Spencer appear to be ignoring his instructions. The state, the judge wrote, has assigned a DOC deputy superintendent to search for the surgeon, and officials have had one conversation about the issue with two doctors who work for the DOC, but have done nothing else since Nov. 20.
"The court is concerned that the pattern of resistance and delay regarding adequate medical care for transsexual prisoners . . . may be continuing,'' Wolf wrote, drawing on the findings of the Court of Appeals for the First Circuit in another transsexual prisoner case.
Diane Wiffin, a DOC spokeswoman, said the agency would not comment because of the pending litigation.
Wolf has also ordered the state to pay Kosilek's legal team, led by Frances S. Cohen of Bingham McCutchen LLP, $700,000 in legal fees. Cohen and her firm have been working on the case since 2000 and have told Wolf they would waive all legal fees in return for DOC dropping its appeal and providing Kosilek the surgery.
The estimates for the cost of the surgery range from $7,000 to $50,000.

Grizzly Bear Visits Missoula for the First Time in Over 50 Years
Missoula might be called the home of the Griz, but until recently, there have been no verifiable grizzly bear sightings in the valley.
That all changed when Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks recovered a grizzly bear radio collar that had been dropped in a remote area. The collar indicated that the grizzly bear entered the Missoula Valley back in 2011where it took a quick tour of the upper Rattlesnake.
Bear management specialist Jamie Jonkle says that the bears appearance in the valley is the first provable appearance of a grizzly since the 50's.
Jamie Jonkle:
Jonkle also says more grizzlies will be on their way in the future as the grizzly bear population booms and more bears go in search of new habitat. The Rattlesnake valley is prime habitat for bears and has been a common foraging area for black bears for quite sometime.
This news means it is more important than ever that those who live near the urban rural interface begin to bear-proof their yards and especially their trash cans.

November was a good month for Google's browser ambitions as Chrome won over a sizable new fraction of Web usage.
Chrome usage rose from 8.5 percent of worldwide Web usage in October to 9.3 percent in November, according to statistics released today by Net Applications, whose analytics software monitors Web traffic extensively.
Chrome claimed most of that share from Microsoft's Internet Explorer, which dropped in overall usage from 59.2 percent to 58.3 percent. Chrome's gains means Google has an easier time pursuing its agenda--adding new features for Web programmers, modifying Net communication protocols to make them faster, and generally trying to make the Internet a place where people spend more of their lives.
Second-place Firefox was essentially flat yet again at 22.8 percent, while Safari crept upward from 5.4 percent to 5.6 percent and Opera slipped from 2.3 percent to 2.2 percent.
Microsoft, though has plenty of silver lining: its ancient Internet Explorer 6 is gradually fading from use, and the newer IE8 grew in usage from October to November nearly as much as Chrome overall did. (IE9, a more radical upgrade, remains in beta testing.)
"One of our main missions here on the IE team at Microsoft is to get people off of IE6 and onto a later version of IE as fast as humanly possible," Roger Capriotti, director of Internet Explorer product marketing, said in the blog post. "In the last six months, IE6 usage is now declining faster among enterprises than it is among worldwide consumers. We believe this reflects how organizations are recognizing the need to migrate to a modern browser."
Corporations' software changes can be gated by conservative administrators, upgrade expenses, and dependence on a particular browser. Thus their lingering usage of IE6 has been a particular challenge for Microsoft and developers eager not to spend long hours trying to craft modern Web sites for the old browser.
Net Applications said China remains a major holdout for IE6, where 45.2 percent of people use it. That compares with 14.6 percent worldwide.
Corrected at 4:27 a.m. PT December 2 to note Firefox is in second place in worldwide browser usage.
