USOC Statement on Passing of Paralympians Marin Morrison and Nick Scandone
"Today, our nation and our movement lost two champions. 2008 U.S. Paralympic Team members Nick Scandone (sailing) and Marin Morrison (swimming) passed away after challenging illnesses. They both pursued excellence on the field of play. More importantly, they and their families pursued excellence in life and were outstanding role models for Olympians, Paralympians and all Americans.
The U.S. Olympic Committee and all Olympians and Paralympians extend our deepest condolences to their families, and pledge to continue to carry their spirit forward to touch the lives of others, as they have so significantly touched ours."
Jim Scherr, USOC Chief Executive Officer; Charlie Huebner, USOC Chief of Paralympics, and the entire USOC family

A new study says if we do act to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, then it looks like the sea ice can come back."called rapid ice loss events. They were analyzing a lot of models and they said, you know, there is potential for this to happen and it could result in much diminished ice cover. There's a really neat new study that just came out [in Nature], which shows that if we do act to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, then it looks like the sea ice can come back. It's kind of a bookend on our refuge analysis, because what we're saying is, if we don't act, what's the base case? Where is the most persistent ice likely to be? What are the sources of it? But what they did was they said, 'Well what happens if we do act? What happens if we mitigate?' And they show that sea ice is likely to return to not-exactly normal levels, but it's likely to come back.
If you didn't know this was a special region, you might behave very differently."than if you knew it was a special region. Clearly the oldest and thickest ice is likely to be mainly located within Canadian and Greenlandic waters. But the sources of the ice are actually coming from the central Arctic and potentially the [continental] shelf seas. That was the other piece of new work that we have presented, to show how interconnected the refuge is to the rest of the Arctic and saying, okay, if you form ice on the Alaskan and Siberian shelf seas, that ice can get into the refuge area and melt. So it can actually release whatever it's carrying, be that sediments, pollutants, whatever.

#5 Run Shoulder-to-Shoulder with Giants
Imagine if you could go back to the early days of your favorite sport and spend time with legends in their prime: Lou Gehrig, Babe Ruth, Wilma Rudolph, Walter Payton, Steve Prefontaine, Jackie Joyner Kersee. While trail running is still in its infancy, it has produced world-class performances and athletes.
There is Scott Jurek, the only seven-time winner of the Western States 100. Nikki Kimball, also a Western States champion, who casts a shadow longer than her list of trail-running wins. Wasatch Speedgoat Karl Meltzer, who has won more mountain 100-milers than anybody. Former Trail Runner Trophy Series champion Diane Van Deren, fresh off a 430-mile trail race in the frozen Yukon in early 2009. David Horton has run the Appalachian Trail, Pacific Crest Trail and across the entire country—and is still going strong. Anita Ortiz has been named USATF Mountain Runner of the Year four times and won the 2009 Western States in her 100-miler debut. Simon Gutierrez is a seven-time member of the U.S. Mountain Running Team, more than any other U.S. runner. There is even legendary ultrarunner Ann Trason, named the 65th greatest female athlete of all time by Sports Illustrated, who now directs the Dick Collins Firetrails 50 in Oakland, California.
The cozy nature of trail running makes it easy to reach out to and maybe even get to know them. Several top runners maintain blogs and are quick to run some miles with a new friend. Dean Karnazes, author of Ultramarathon Man: Confessions of an All-Night Runner and quite possibly the most recognizable trail runner in the world, spends several hours per week emailing with many people he's never met.
"Trail running has introduced me to many lifelong friends," says Karnazes. "It has also introduced me to myself."
And, unlike big road events, in trail races everyone toes the same line at the same time, so you too could queue up right next to Meltzer, Ortiz or Jurek. And some top athletes even offer personal coaching services.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (1519 votes).
In short: Fantastic DayIn full: Fantastic day, how they get the organisation so good amazes me. My second half marathon and i ran a pb of 1:43:52 so very pleased. It's just a great day with a wonderful atmosphere from start to finish. It's a must do race!Date of review: September 19, 2011
In short: The non-runners run what an event! 2 lessons learnt 1)Training counts 2)Dieting helpsIn full: As a "used to be" fit person who is now very overweight and has had numerous injuries. I only entered the GNR to raise money for charity. Due to lack of training I would not have turned up if I hadn't. Fabulous race, great atmosphere, great crowds, and a liquorice allsorts selection of people including mis-shapes! Date of review: September 19, 2011
In short: My first GNR. As they would say locally - Mint!In full: What a great event. I ran VLM this year and was taken back by the great crowds and support, and this race was up there with it! I would strongly advise anyone who loves running to run this race.The crowds of runners put a lot of people off, but actually it just adds to the electric atmosphere and its not too much trouble to weave in and out of people.I will definitely be putting my name in the ballot again for this memorable and really enjoyable spectacle of a race.Date of review: September 19, 2011
In short: A Must-do for the massesIn full: My first time doing this, but you know what to expect. Slick slick organisation for so many people, great support, friendly good-natured runners. Fizzing start, the Tyne Bridge and the finish were the highlights. Sheer numbers and relatively narrow roads towards the end slowed things down a touch, but that is part of the experience.Memorable!Date of review: September 19, 2011
In short: The best aroundIn full: Love this race and 12th today. Ran it with a friend from the States and for a change ran with my head up and not worrying about a time.Saw more this than I ever have before yes the numbers are large but you know what to expect so no moans from me.This event is special and has the best atomosphere around made all the more special by the Red Arrows tribute to their fallen colleague.The only down side to this event is the expo which is a complete waste of time and needs a full overhaul.Will I be back next year? Yes love this race and the 54,000 friends I run with :)Date of review: September 18, 2011
In short: It's the people who make it what it is!In full: Several aspects of the GNR really hack me off, the cost, the blatant self promotion of the organisers and many of the minor celebs who take part. On the other hand, running from Zone D because I didn't fell up to my Zone B start, I saw the better side of the event - the crowds of supporters with oranges, tea, icepops, water and just being there. On top of that, the runners themselves add so much through their commitment and energy.Not a race I'll ever get a pb but one which offers other attractions.Date of review: September 18, 2011
In short: Wonderful atmosphere!In full: Theres probably not much to say that people dont already know.....The atmosphere was incredible - having the Red Arrows and Mo Farrah start your race is really something special!I dont know how they do it with so many people but the organisation was flawless.The finish is certainly the scenic highlight of the course - beautiful!A great race!Date of review: September 18, 2011
In short: Electrifying startIn full: Just superb. I'm a seasoned marathon & half marathon runner, and have never seen such an unbelievably slick, high energy start. Of course a big race always needs more toilets, and this is especially true of the GNR.Would love to do it next year. Highly recommended.All races should have Red Arrow flypasts!!Well done GNR, you deserve the reputation. Date of review: September 18, 2011

Posted on 10/22/2004 5:11:33 PM PDT by Bill Buckner
Good intro befor ethe show
Kerry asked Kerry EVERYDAY for the last 2 weeks to appear on the show - he refused.
Sinclair asked Kerry ...
watching now. . .
I just watched the entire video online and it is powerful. Kerry will lose many votes as this is seen by people.
Please keep posting for those of us who are unable to view the program.
On here in OKC as well!
4 vets on now (2 each side) ... One says "Kerry was the first man in 200 years to make Benedict Arnold look good "!
so far I liked "some" but that dayum 10 minutes of Kerry telling us what he was gonna do and now that CRAZY VET that is always hollering for Kerry is on there....Muller....Im mad over this....I wanted it to be ALL ABOUT that loser and his actions against the VETS....but maybe more in a while I HOPE,,,,,,
Please, My dad is 80 and lives in Pittsburgh he cannot find the channel.What channel is it on.
I'm so jealous .. we don't get Sinclair here in Northern Virginia... considered driving to Baltimore or Richmond, but don't know where I'd watch once I got there .. thanks for keeping us up on this
more more more
Channel 53 the local Fox channel.

Freudian slip that inadvertently captures Mr. Flip-Flopper. I'll bet Kerry told Kerry a different answer every day of those 2 weeks. "I actually agreed 7 times to go on the show, before I decided against it 7 times."
Also on Channel 10 Comcast Cable, otherwise Channel 62 ---KCMO

Please post your socal stations and channels in your local area!!!!!!!
The apologists for Kerry said they were on his side and agree with him - there premise was the Gov't was lying to them ...
They must have put Muller on valium, he isn't screeching tonight,,,
So far its a little boring, don't you think?
I hope they make copies available online afterward.
He isnt helping matters by saying "Some of what Kerry said I said..." Well its still lies a-hole.
thats the movie.....this is a special with the POWS and snips of the movie....its getting really good.....
OUR POWS and VETS are powerful...Kerrys "supporters" are silly and wussy acting and that Muller or Mullen whatever his name is, is a psycho.....
I watched every bit of it. It was compelling.
Mueller was at the Kerry Lied rally
we covered him with signs
He has the right to comment.... but he should pick his venues
Are you recording this, and if so anyway you can post after its over?
WDKY Channel 56 in Lexington, Ky.

Thanks for the Thread .. I can't see it in my area
Columbus WSYX Friday 10/22 8PM Website falsely said it was coming on at 9:00PM. Liars and liberals
I watched online earlier, pretty powerful. Right now it's on Fox in Buffalo, must be to catch Pennsylvania viewers. The other channel opted not to air it here. Looks like the edits will do more than the whole video. Kerry looked like he was lost.
Yeah sure. Just like John Kerry isn't.
It's a documentary, remember? Do you read books without pictures yet?
Its on in Columbus now - 8:00PM

A friend once recounted his story of a jump-seat ride aboard an Aeroflot airlines Tu-154 during the 1980s. After the Russian trijet had reached cruise altitude, the flight crew broke out a bottle of sherry and began celebrating, because they had managed to survive another takeoff in an airplane not known for its reliability.

Industry insiders and analysts believe the business and private jet industry will witness a resurgence in 2011 as a global economic recovery continues. Of course, if you toss into the mix more political unrest in the Middle East, the rising price of oil and European Union member nation bailouts, things could get a bit dicey.

Gulfstream acquired the super-midsize G200 when it bought Galaxy Aerospace in 2001. The aircraft offered a unique value because its ovoid fuselage actually allows for more headroom than a full-size Gulfstream GIV (with a tube that is only two inches narrower), seating for eight to 10 passengers, true transcontinental range, a 45,000-foot ceiling and a top speed of Mach 0.85.

A Columbus developer plans to build 154 apartments in a project that would reuse a 95-year-old
Downtown bank building.
Under the plan, the Edwards Co. would convert the former Citizens Savings and Trust Co. building at the southwest corner of High and Gay streets into 65 apartments. An additional 89 apartments and a parking garage would be built on the northwest corner of Gay and High.
The buildings would be connected by a tunnel under Gay Street, according to the developer's application for state historic tax credits.
The estimated cost of the project is $35 million. The Ohio Development Services Agency today approved $3.1 million in historic tax credits for the development.
Designed by the prominent Columbus architectural firm Richards, McCarty & Bulford, the five-story Citizens building was erected in 1918 in a Classical Revival style.
In 1960, three floors were added by Citizen's successor, Ohio National Bank, which used most of the building until the mid-1970s. After the Ohio Department of Youth Services moved out of the building last year, it has been largely empty.
"We were excited by the project," said Stephanie Gostomski, spokeswoman for the Ohio Development Services Agency. "This will have a high economic development impact, it will have a great return on investment and it is a fully financed project."
The project is the latest in a string of apartment projects announced Downtown. An estimated 1,400 apartments are under construction or well into planning in the central city, many of them along High Street.
Three smaller Columbus apartment projects also received approval for historic tax credits today:
• Renovation of 25 apartments on Clark Place, Dennison Avenue, E. 5th Avenue and Hamlet Street by the Columbus nonprofit developer Homeport. The $3.9 million project was approved for $249,999 in credits.
• Improvements to the 52 apartments in the five-story Stoddart Block building, 260 S. Fourth St. The $3.05-million project was approved for $249,275 in credits.
• Renovation of a now-vacant six-unit apartment building at 313-315 Chittenden Ave. for student housing. The $397,167 project was approved for $74,142 in tax credits.

UC Hastings faculty share significantly in the stewardship of the college. Academic institutions traditionally have been constituted by their faculty. They depend on a democratic concept that does not have an exact counterpart in the for-profit sector. That concept is called "shared governance."
Although the Chancellor & Dean is nominally the leader of the institution and is expected to be an academic himself, many of the most important decisions that are made in fact are the result of a deliberative process among the full-time professors. The content of the curriculum, attendance and grading norms, and the appointment of new colleagues, for example, are put to a vote at regular meetings of the faculty. The faculty also elect a new Faculty Executive Committee each academic year. Among its responsibilities is working closely with the Chancellor & Dean in an advisory role.
Shared governance ensures transparency and is a core value for UC Hastings.

The program has been developed in cooperation with International Air Transport Association-IATA. The Nobel Prize winning, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) indicates that aviation contributes around 2% of man-made carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The carbon emissions have been known to contribute to climate change including global warming. By Offsetting Carbon, one will contribute to the global efforts for reducing further air emissions and cleaning the environment hence help in meeting the challenge of climate change. Kenya Airways Carbon Offset Program is QAS Approved How Does Carbon Offset Work? 1. Book your ticket on www.kenya-airways.com 2. Accept to carbon offset on the payment page "The inbuilt IATA carbon calculator is based on the ICAO methodology and enhanced with real airline data, using actual fuel burn, travel class, taking into consideration the load factor and weight for passengers and belly cargo for a given city pair. The calculator informs the passenger of the actual distance of the flight in question and calculates the level of emissions created by that flight per person. Furthermore, the passenger is being informed of the financial contribution devoted to environmental sustainability projects; this contribution is VOLUNTARY. Kenya Airways collects carbon offset contributions on behalf of Passengers to be invested in high quality environmental projects that were identified to have a socio-economic impact and reduce carbon emission in developing countries. The IATA Carbon Offset Program invests in UN-Approved Certified Emissions Reductions-CER projects and high quality VER projects generating high quality carbon credits.

I really like this product. I was afraid the taste might be overwhelming. I just put it in a few swallows of juice and she drinks it right up. I've been really sick for the last week. I believe it has boosted her immune system to prevent her from catching it.

Who says you can't have it all? Continuous horizontal and vertical - square laser lines ideal for interior remodeling projects and exterior decks. The HVL 100 is the tool of choice for demanding remodeling projects. Ideal for laying out kitchen cabinets, bath or shower tile, wallpaper, electrical, and HVAC jobs. The fully self leveling HVL 100 sets up easily and provides a 360 degree line of reference three times horizontal and vertical with 90 degree layout. That means ceiling, walls and floor are all aligned with one easy to use tool and with the PLS SLD detector, its utility is enhanced for exterior layouts too. Accurate to within an plus or minus 1/8 of an inch at 60 feet, and effective at up to a 100 feet, the HVL 100 is versatile and dependable for a variety of layout tasks. The PLS HVL 100 tool comes complete with carrying case, heavy duty wall bracket, layout targets, operating manual and rechargeable NiMH batteries. PLS Lasers are designed by contractors for contractors. With a PLS laser and a little thought you can reduce your layout time dramatically. Use your PLS laser to determine reference points and lines down and up for each light, per dimensioned plans. How much time would it take you to lay out 50 lights in a vaulted ceiling with two people and a plumb bob? Install conduit, raceways, fixtures, and more.
- Every contractor has basic alignment tasks to perform on the job site.
- No project can be completed without layout of the work, installation of material and quality control.
- Each of these functions is accomplished by determining plumb, level and square reference.

"As a seminary community, we want to pray for those who are going out this summer," explained Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary president Jeff Iorg to an audience of seminary students, faculty and staff on April 29, 2010. "Golden Gate Seminary has a missions commitment, and we take this opportunity to encourage and support our students as ambassadors for God."
Dr. Eddie Pate, Jr., Chair of the Seminary's Intercultural Studies Department and Director of the David and Faith Kim School of Global Missions, spoke directly to more than 20 students who requested prayer for their upcoming efforts of service in missions capacities, as the entire seminary audience listened.
Dr. Pate referred to Romans 10 as he urged the students, "Everyplace you go, look at these people as Paul looked at them – everyone needs Jesus, and everyone needs salvation." He reminded the students, 'Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.' He pointed out, "We cannot make anybody call on the name of the Lord, nor can we make someone believe, but we can preach the Gospel."
"You are not just going," he continued, "but you are being sent, as it says in Romans 10:15. You must see yourselves as being sent: sent by your church, by the Seminary, by the Lord."
Dr. Pate, who has served for over a decade as a Church Planter, Strategy Coordinator, and later a Strategy Associate with the International Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention in Northern Africa and the Middle East, spoke to the student missionaries as a fellow ambassador of God.
Twenty-three students are travelling this summer: locally to San Francisco; and others internationally to Mexico, Jordan, South Africa, Malaysia and two countries in Asia. They will be planting an urban church, teaching art therapy, guiding Vacation Bible Schools, leading youth trips, working with university students, training leaders, or performing ethnographic research.
"You are sent for a reason – to preach the Gospel, to share eternal life, to be salt and light," Pate continued. "Whether in villages, under trees, on buses, trains, in cafés, restaurants, churches, you are being sent to preach the Gospel."
Pate reminded the students that they are not being sent to survive the experience, to live in another culture, or to accumulate stamps on their passport, "But you are in these countries because you have something to do. You are there to touch that culture with the transforming message of the Lord Jesus Christ." He concluded by telling the students, "Go out with a heart of compassion, and shine the light of the Lord into the darkness."

Benchmarks quantify, and UI quality is the sort of thing that largely can't be quantified.
Benchmarks can't tell you which shirt you should wear, but benchmarks might be able to tell you the thread counts of the fabric used in a shirt.
I think the question boils down to this: since an average consumer of smartphones is not all that benchmark savvy, do these metrics really matter when selecting a smartphone?
Probably not.
Consumer Reports, for example, offers the service of comparing mobile phones. But I am not sure if that's regarded as highly as their reports on cars. Part of the reason is mobile handsets are cheaper (than cars) and they reflect more individual tastes.
But I believe what BDTI is trying to do is not for marketing their benchmark results to consumers directly, but to give the electronics industry an opportunity to look at the perfomance of a whole phone (rather than individual component).

Deer advisory team set to meet
The U.P. Deer Advisory Team (UPDAT) is set to meet again next weekend in Iron Mountain. They are an ensemble of volunteer conservation stakeholders that first met a year ago to look at management options for bucks. They are also one of several such groups across the state, by region. The U.P. is a region by itself.
Focus on advancing the age class of bucks and thus improving the quality of antler racks on the deer came into focus as part of four options given to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR). These options were based on input from UPDAT, deer camp surveys, and the 2010 U.P. Sportsmen's Alliance deer meetings.
The four options listed are:
One buck per year.
Two point minimum antler point restriction on both the single and Combination Licenses (a no spike horn rule).
Three point minimum antler point restriction on both the single and Combination Licenses.
Current U.P. Hunter's Choice regulation.
It should be noted that the main premise all conservationists working on this project must consider is that any option does not serve to damage the base population of deer. It is an after-the-fact type of approach, and the MDNR's continuing attempt to work with those who provide the majority of their annual revenue. It is the social side of the management science used in managing wildlife, and therefore may also create a problem.
I admire how the MDNR is working to cooperate and give the hunters a say in how things run. It could be looked at as a form of transparency, exposing the process in which other decisions are made.
Michigan has launched a major campaign to recruit and retain hunters. A lot of progress has been made, first with the change in the law that permits youngsters the opportunity to hunt small game at age 10 and big game (deer, bear, and elk) at 12. Secondly, the new Hunting Heritage Law permits kids of any age to hunt with a mentor, parent, or legal guardian, determining at what year it begins.
A prime consideration in what type of buck we can hunt should come from the perspective of each stage of hunting we experience through the years, and there are five.
The "shooting stage" is mostly for beginners. It is the point where the hunter takes their first game in following the rules of fair chase. It doesn't have to be something for the record books, it is simply good enough to enable them to say the got one.
The second level is the "limiting out stage." Here, the hunter wants to get as much of the quota allowed, again not necessarily a trophy, but more than average so that the sense of accomplishment remains.
From here we see the hunter evolve into the "trophy stage," a point where the record book, or best take on a local level is of utmost consideration. When it comes to antlered deer, the defined fit into this category starts with meeting the standards set by entities like Commemorative Bucks of Michigan, Boone and Crocket or Pope and Young, all of whom equate a trophy by total inch score of all measures of an antler rack added together.
Once reached, the now satisfied hunter decides the latest technological innovation will present the next challenge in taking wild game, so they enter the "equipment stage."
The final and most common of all is where the hunter looks more towards the fellowship of the hunt and looks forward more for the opportunity to hunt than he does the need to take; the "sporting stage."
He or she is the hunter who appreciates volunteer efforts of self control as the best means of management, using programs such as the "Let-em go and let-em grow – Take a doe where appropriate" campaign initiated years ago by U.P. Whitetails Association.
There are areas of the U.P. that remain closed to antlerless hunting, so taking a doe is out of the question. Otherwise, any buck with at least one antler with a length of three inches or better is the base rule for legal take. The other option is again the current U.P. Hunter's Choice regulations on the combination tag.
I think it fair to say that most of those who have provided input as to what they'd like to see as the best means to advance age class and thus antler development for deer hunting are older and more experienced than the younger novice. Consideration on whether tighter regulations will alienate them should play a role in what is available to take.
Moreover, if the only consideration is to put antler point restrictions as the primary consideration, one bad winter will destroy a lot of the progress made, as the loss of deer climbs from starvation and predation.
Any way you look at it, an absolute rule is a challenge no matter what you consider. I admire the effort by those on the UPDAT, as there will be no easy call. As for me, I'd leave it in the hands of the professionals and only ask that they make it as simple as possible and as always, consider the resource first.

When learning is a two-way street
Ever since he was a kid, Anthony Jensen says, he's been interested in learning how people live around the world. But until fairly recently, he never had many chances to go see for himself.
That changed when Jensen decided to volunteer with the Peace Corps.
Since last summer, the Marshall area native has been working as a teacher in the southeast Asian nation of Cambodia. In correspondence with the Independent, he said he is learning as much as his students.
Jensen is a 2008 graduate of Marshall High School and went on to study political science and history at St. John's University in Collegeville.
"I think I first started thinking about the Peace Corps when I was a freshman at SJU," Jensen said. "Up until that point, I had not had the opportunity to travel outside of the United States, aside from a family vacation to Canada when I was young." After college graduation, he took the next step and became a Peace Corps Volunteer.
Although his original preference was an assignment in Latin America, Jensen's destination as a volunteer ended up being a rural community in Kampong Thom province, in central Cambodia.
"It was surprising to get an assignment in Asia in the sense that I had no idea where I would be going," he said. Before going to Cambodia, he researched the country's history and read news and blog posts written by other Peace Corps Volunteers. After arriving, he and other Peace Corps Trainees also went through two months of pre-service training. Still, he said, he wasn't sure what life would be like.
"In the end, it's taken a year of living there to get a basic sense of things," Jensen said.
As a Volunteer, Jensen spends about 20 hours a week teaching English classes at a public high school in Kampong Thom province, in addition to time spent working on community development projects. Those projects range from an organic garden at the school to leading adult English education classes and youth development camps for area teenagers.
"At first glance, teaching English may not seem of great importance," Jensen said, but knowing English opens up important opportunities for his students. "For many of my students who will have the opportunity to study at a university in Cambodia, knowledge of English will be necessary to complete a degree," he said, as well as to compete in the job market and communicate across cultures.
Poverty is a reality in the local community, Jensen said. The majority of families make their living from farming rice, and the pace of life is set by the planting and harvesting schedules. In 2010, a farmer could expect to be paid about 25 cents for every kilogram of rice sold, Jensen said.
Jensen said his co-workers at the high school must also take on additional teaching and other work to make ends meet.
"Currently, a high school teacher in Cambodia makes around $100 a month, which is not enough to support a family with children. It is also common for teachers to supplement their incomes through rice farming," he said.
Many people in Cambodia also feel the legacy of violence committed under the rule of the Khmer Rouge regime in the 1970s, he said.
"People were uprooted from their homes and lives and moved to communal work camps where they labored under horrific conditions of starvation, disease and summary executions," Jensen said. "Everyone has lost somebody close to them. All families have stories from this period of time and no one was left untouched."
Jensen said one remarkable story he heard was that of his host grandmother. As a young woman, she worked as a midwife in spite of civil war and bombings, and somehow was spared when the Khmer Rouge began executing "intellectuals" like doctors, teachers and artists.
"Others in her family, including her husband, did not survive the regime," Jensen said.
But although people in Cambodia know poverty and loss, Jensen said it doesn't define them. In their spare time, people play sports, worship, and enjoy time with friends.
"Life here has diversity," he said. "Listening to the young people in my community, you can hear their different ambitions. Some aspire to be doctors, others policemen, many would like to work for a few years at an NGO and then start their own businesses. . . One student even told me he wanted to be a disc jockey."
"My favorite part of teaching and working with my students is the cultural exchanges that take place between us every day," Jensen said. Learning about other cultures is a big part of the Peace Corps' service, he said. "My students and I are constantly exchanging our ideas and discussing our outlooks, giving us new perspectives on everyday life."
Jensen said his service has given him some new perspectives. For one, he's learned how quickly it's possible to adjust to living conditions very different from those in the United States. Jensen said his understanding of people living with the challenges of poverty has also changed.
"It is easy to think of the poor as just that, poor," he said. "The reality is, of course, much more complex and nuanced, and to see how people deal with the hardships of getting from day to day is truly remarkable."
Although living and working in a foreign country can be hard at times, Jensen said, Peace Corps service has some very real benefits. "They are sometimes as simple as two people from vastly different parts of the world sitting down together and enjoying each other's company."
Jensen said there are a variety of ways people can get involved with the Peace Corps. Volunteering is one way, and helping to fund Peace Corps projects through the Peace Corps Partnership program, at donate.peacecorps.gov, is another.
After more than a year's worth of experiences in Cambodia, Jensen had plenty to talk about. He said he's recently started a blog where he writes about life in his community. Those writings can be seen at anthonyjjensen.wordpress.com.
SIDEBAR: In Cambodia, the consequences of the past are still felt
By Anthony Jensen
Special to the Independent
In April 1975, the Cambodian capital, Phnom Penh, fell to communist Khmer Rouge forces after five years of civil war with the American-supported government of President Lon Nol. Immediately following the fall of Phnom Penh, a forced evacuation of the urban populace to the countryside took place. And so began over three years of genocidal rule in the country.
In total, according to Craig Etcheson of the Documentation Center of Cambodia, 2 million to 2.5 million Cambodians died as a result of Khmer Rouge rule, which only ended with a Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia in January 1979. Despite the toppling of the regime, Cambodia would face continued civil conflict between various factions including Khmer Rouge insurgents until the late 1990s.
The decades of violence in Cambodia have left a contemporary society that is impossible to separate from the past. Cambodians who have lived through the terrors of the late 1970s continue to be plagued by post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In one study conducted amongst the Cambodian diaspora in Long Beach, Calif., 62 percent of people studied were diagnosed with PTSD. In addition, researchers have documented PTSD symptoms being passed between generations of Cambodians.
When I spent a summer in Bosnia Herzegovina, the physical scars of the country's conflict in the early 1990s were easily seen. Ten-story communist-era apartment buildings in the Sarajevo suburb in which I lived still bore the pockmarks of exploded artillery shells. In my role as a Peace Corps Volunteer in rural Cambodia, it can be more difficult to perceive the consequences of the decades of conflict.
In rural Cambodia, the visible indicators of the past genocide often go unnoticed to those who did not experience it. A pagoda once used as a prison and execution center, a canal or reservoir dug with forced labor, a rice field in which bones of the dead still lie. But to those who lived through the deprivations of those years, these reminders abound.
Some of the effects of the genocide and its aftermath can be as simple as what Cambodians eat. After years of near starvation, foods eaten during the Khmer Rouge era continue to be consumed today such as morning glory, spiders and field mice.
With the prevalence of PTSD, the way people process emotions often differs from the manner in which may be expected. On two occasions, I have come across fatal traffic accidents in Cambodia. In both instances, people, showing no discernible emotion, had gathered around staring at the bodies, one of which was horribly maimed underneath a truck.
The consequences of the last few decades also manifest in people's fears. In 1993, a Japanese UN volunteer was shot and killed in a village not far from where I now live. My host father worked with him. To this day, people disagree about who killed him.
Some say it was the Khmer Rouge, while others say the killers were locals angered that they had not been hired to work on the UN-organized national election. This uncertainty, pervasive throughout the 1990s, is still felt in the present, despite violence and robbery in my community being rare occurrences. Often when I go out, I am still warned about the dangers posed by faceless "gangsters" by my host family, who still remember the young Japanese volunteer.
Recent political tension between the country's major political parties caused by a national election in July has also brought worries about instability to the surface again.
In the election, leading political figures openly used rhetoric implying that a vote for the wrong party could plunge the country into another civil war. Although Cambodian youth, who have come of age in the last decade, were not persuaded by these fear tactics, older Cambodians around the country openly worry about the results of an upset political status quo and have traditionally favored the political party advocating stability, instead of change.
Some of the structures of Cambodian society obliterated by the Khmer Rouge have made remarkable progress in rebuilding in the intervening years since 1979, while others continue to suffer. Although Cambodian public schools are rife with problems such as endemic cheating and high dropout rates, when one remembers that teachers as a group were almost completely eradicated by the Khmer Rouge and that the education system has been rebuilt from nothing, the existence of these schools and their progress is remarkable.
Today in Cambodia, people go to work in their rice fields and market stalls. They go to parties and play volleyball together. They head to the pagoda to pray and head home to watch the latest Thai drama on TV. They joke with each other and complain about the weather. They linger into the evening near the river, fishing and gossiping. That the canal in which they fish was built by forced labor battalions or the pagoda in which they pray was once a makeshift jail and execution center is an inescapable aspect of life in contemporary Cambodia. Life here continues despite the tragedies of the past decades, but that does not mean those tragedies are easily forgotten.

Attendant on Doomed Flight Falsely Labeled "Hysterical"
The world learned that the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, had begun when flight attendant Betty Ong, flying on the hijacked plane that left from Boston, picked up the in-flight phone and punched the buttons for the American Airlines reservations desk.
" 'The cockpit is not answering the phone and there's somebody stabbed in business class,' Ong calmly told the male clerk who answered," the San Francisco Chronicle reported. "We can't breathe in business class. Somebody's got Mace or something. ... We can't get into the cockpit. The door won't open."
At 8:46 a.m. and 40 seconds, the Chronicle recalled on Sunday, Ong's American Airlines Flight 11 disappeared into the North Tower of the World Trade Center in Manhattan.
Ong is being called a hero by all who hear the tape of her conversation with the ground crew. But the Wall Street Journal, in a lengthy piece reconstructing the events of that terrible day a month later, described Ong as "hysterical with fear," and "shrieking and gasping for air."
". . . at 7:27 a.m. CDT, Craig Marquis got an emergency phone call [PDF]. Mr. Marquis, manager-on-duty at American's sprawling System Operations Control center in Fort Worth, Texas, heard a reservations supervisor explain that an airborne flight attendant, hysterical with fear, was on the phone and needed to talk to the operations center. In the background, Mr. Marquis could hear the flight attendant shrieking and gasping for air," according to the story by Scott McCartney and Susan Carey.
" 'She said two flight attendants had been stabbed, one was on oxygen. A passenger had his throat slashed and looked dead, and they had gotten into the cockpit,' Mr. Marquis recalls."
It's a description that the Wall Street Journal has refused to correct, even though the tape, released later, portrays Ong acting in a calm, professional matter. Family members say the Journal's posture compounds their tragedy. The Journal account has made its way into at least one book.
A Journal spokeswoman, Ashley Huston, told Journal-isms by email Wednesday, "Our article of Oct. 15, 2001, told the recollections of senior executives and front-line managers at American Airlines and United Airlines and their personal experiences on Sept. 11. No corrections have been made to the article."
Asked why not, Huston said, "We'll refer back to our original response and decline further comment."
A weekend remembrance on NPR's "Weekend Edition Sunday" began with excerpts of Ong's conversation:
AUDIE CORNISH, host: "Newly released recordings give us a better sense of what was happening on that flight at about this time 10 years ago. American flight 11 had turned off its transponder, making it more difficult to track, and the pilots would not respond to the airline's crew. Then a flight attendant picked up a phone built into the seat of the plane and made a call.
BETTY ONG: "Number three in the back. The cockpit's not answering. Somebody's stabbed in business class and I think there's Mace, that we can't breathe. I don't know. I think we're getting hijacked."
AIRLINE CREW MEMBER: "Which flight are you?"
CORNISH: "That is the voice of Betty Ong. She called American Airlines officials to alert them to what was happening."
ONG: "I think the guys are up there. They might've got, jammed their way up there or something. Nobody can call the cockpit. We can't even get inside."
CORNISH: "Betty Ong was the first to raise the alarm that day, the first warning of what was to come. The second warning came from the cockpit."
UNIDENTIFIED HIJACKER: "We have some planes. Just stay quiet and you'll be okay. We are returning to the airport. . . . "
Last Thursday, Lisa Tobin and Michael May of Boston's WBUR told Ong's story through her brother, Harry Ong Jr., and sister, Cathie Ong Herrera, both based on the West Coast.
Herrera said, "I later on spent a lot of time back east attending meetings and during one particular trip I was in the Admiral's Club at the JFK Airport in New York and I happened to pick up the Wall Street Journal and they just happened to have an article about Betty. And this one particular person had described Betty on the phone as being hysterical and gasping and shrieking for air, which just totally destroyed the comfort that we knew in hearing from Nydia about how she was describing Betty's demeanor.
HARRY: "I actually called the Wall Street Journal writers and I said, you know, we had spoken with the person who spoke with Betty, her name being Nydia Gonzalez, and that it just contradicted everything that they had written, you know, it's just not true.
"And they said, well, until you can maybe somehow get something different, this is all we have to go on and this is our report."
On Sunday, Kevin Fagan wrote about the family in the San Francisco Chronicle.
"There's only one thing sure to ignite anger in Ong, an impeccably dressed pharmacy manager known for his mild manner, friends say: mention of misconceptions of his sister's legacy," Fagan wrote.
"Initial news reports in New York and a book about 9/11 portrayed Betty Ong as panicking and screaming during her phone call, but her friends and family refused to believe it. They got their confirmation in 2004 when the federal 9/11 Commission played recordings of her call and took testimony from those who handled it."
Despite the Journal story, the Chronicle story said that Ong is being hailed elsewhere.
"After 9/11, then-San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown designated a day in Ong's honor, and the Chinese Development Community Center named a room after her. But her family and friends would like to see a school, a street or a building dedicated in her honor. After all, she is a national example of courage, they say.
"The Ongs may finally be about to get their wish.
"Mayor Ed Lee this month announced that he wants Betty's name to go on a new recreation center in Chinatown, where she grew up, when it opens next spring. The city's Recreation and Park Commission is expected to approve the designation.
"Cathie Ong created a foundation in her sister's name to encourage healthy eating habits and exercise for children in Bakersfield, where she lives.
"This summer she was close to having a school in that city's historic Chinatown named after Betty. But in July, the school board turned the plan down. It offered instead to name the campus library after her. The family is mulling the option.
"Betty Ong may have died a hero, but her relatives and friends will always think of her foremost as an effervescent, kindly soul."
Papers Urge Perry to Block Racially Influenced Execution
- Thursday update: US Supreme Court halts execution of Texas man whose lawyers say race was factor in sentence (CBS and Associated Press)
Pleas to Texas Gov. Rick Perry to block Thursday's scheduled execution of a black Texas man have picked up support not only from the original prosecutor and the surviving shooting victim, but from the editorial boards of two of the state's largest newspapers.
The death sentence was rendered partly on a psychologist's testimony that as a black man, Duane Buck should be considered more dangerous than others.
In his first debate appearance last week as a Republican presidential candidate, Perry won audience cheers when it was announced that he had overseen a record number of executions in the modern era. "Our governor has presided over 234 executions in one state — more than any other governor in the history of a state," according to Rick Halperin, director of the Embrey Human Rights Program at Southern Methodist University.
As explained to readers by Michael Landauer, assistant editorial page editor for reader engagement at the Dallas Morning News, "On May 5, 1997, Buck was convicted of capital murder in Harris County for the July 1995 shooting deaths of Debra Gardner and Kenneth Butler. A third person, Phyllis Taylor, was also shot, but survived her wound. Ms. Taylor has forgiven Mr. Buck and does not want him executed.
"During Mr. Buck's trial, psychologist Walter Quijano testified, based on several factors, that he did not believe Mr. Buck would be dangerous in the future. On cross-examination, the prosecutor elicited improper testimony from Dr. Quijano that the fact that Mr. Buck was African-American increased the likelihood of his being dangerous in the future. The State urged the jury in its closing argument to rely on Dr. Quijano's testimony. The jury did so, found that Mr. Buck would be a future danger, and he was sentenced to death."
Bob Ray Sanders, columnist for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, wrote Sept. 3, "As it turned out, Quijano made a reputation of testifying that a person's race or ethnicity, namely black and Hispanic, made it more likely that they would continue to be a threat to society. . . . " For that reason, former Texas Attorney General John Cornyn, now a U.S. senator, supported a retrial on Buck's punishment.
"We think he needs a new sentencing hearing," Landauer told Journal-isms. The Morning News editorialized Sunday on "Perry's odd ease with death penalty."
The Houston Chronicle said last week, "The case poses a test of leadership for Texas governor and Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry. Will he do the right thing and stop the execution, either through clemency or a reprieve, or will he take the politically expedient course and let a judicial miscarriage roll forward?"
Editors say that with so many executions in the state, newspapers don't take positions on all of them,
"We've weighed in on a number of high-profile cases and exonerations, but we haven't addressed the Buck case," Jonathan Gurwitz, editorial writer at the San Antonio Express-News, told Journal-isms.
At the Austin American-Statesman, Editorial Page Editor Arnold Garcia said, "We haven't specifically weighed in on the Buck case, but we did address the general topic of the administration of the death penalty in Texas this week in reaction to Rick Perry's statement at the California debate."
The newspaper wrote Monday, "Our governor says he has lost no sleep over the notion that Texas might have executed an innocent person. We hope his sound sleep is justified, but it's hard not to have doubts."

NABJ, Unity to Form Task Forces on Reunification
Talks about a possible reunification of the National Association of Black Journalists with Unity: Journalists of Color Inc., began with a conference call Wednesday, but the prospect of the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association joining the Unity coalition is not part of the discussion, Unity President Joanna Hernandez said.
"The status with NLGJA is still being discussed by the board. We hope to have some kind of resolution soon," Hernandez told Journal-isms.
After the conference call, Hernandez and NABJ President Gregory Lee issued this statement:
"The presidents of the National Association of Black Journalists, the Asian American Journalists Association, the National Association of Hispanic Journalists, the Native American Journalists Association and UNITY: Journalists of Color met this morning to begin sorting out the details on how to proceed with reunification talks.
"After a positive and constructive meeting, it was apparent that everyone takes these talks seriously and has agreed to approach this with much care and due diligence. We understand that the entire process will not be completed overnight, however, we anticipate a methodical approach that can help us reach our ultimate goal.
"The first step is that NABJ President Gregory Lee and UNITY President Joanna Hernandez are in the process of forming task forces that will conduct the talks and advise the presidents. We plan to have a timeline for the length of these talks within the next couple of weeks."
NABJ voted in April to leave Unity, citing dissatisfaction with the way Unity was governed and how its finances were divided among the associations.
NABJ members voted in August to "seek reunification with Unity: Journalists of Color as soon as is feasible," but "based on conditions involving the financial and governance structure of Unity that do not conflict with the best interests of NABJ."
Karin Phillips, Philadelphia Community Reporter, Dies at 53
"Beloved KYW Newsradio community affairs reporter Karin Phillips passed away suddenly on Tuesday after a brief illness," Philadelphia's KYW-TV reported on Tuesday. "She was 53.
"Karin's news beat kept the Philadelphia region aware of all the unique organizations, programs, and events that make a difference in our community."
Cari Feiler Bender, who handles public relations for nonprofits, said Phillips had "a passion for Philadelphia like few others. She wanted to tell those untold stories of community groups, nonprofits, neighborhood leaders, and unsung heroes to the entire region," Robert Moran reported for the Philadelphia Inquirer.
"E. Steven Collins, a talk-show host on WRNB-FM (100.3), said that Ms. Phillips 'presented and represented African American people in the tristate area and journalism all over the country in an unmatched way,.' " Moran wrote.
"She joined the all-news staff in 1979 as a production assistant, and through the years wore many hats at the station – including reporter, writer, and daytime editor.
The KYW story said, "Before becoming a part of the KYW Newsradio team, Karin worked as a reporter for the Burlington County Times. She was also an anchor and producer for Express Traffic Services.
". . . In 2009, Karin received the Human Rights Award for Arts and Culture from the Philadelphia Commission on Human Rights. In 2004, she received the Outstanding Community Service award from the Philadelphia Council of Clergy, the largest multicultural religious clergy organization in Philadelphia."
Scott Pelley reported last month from the Dadaab refugee camp in Kenya for the "CBS Evening News."
East Africa Also Hungers for U.S. Coverage
"What a difference a generation makes," James Fahn wrote Tuesday for the Columbia Journalism Review. "Back in 1984-85, groundbreaking media coverage of the terrible drought and famine that affected around eight million people in Ethiopia spurred an outpouring of Western relief efforts. A harrowing report by BBC broadcaster Michael Buerk is often cited as the spark that led to Band Aid, a supergroup of British and Irish musicians who recorded a pop album for charity, and eventually Live Aid, a group of American pop stars who performed likewise.
"Contrast that to the media and cultural response to the current famine in Somalia and surrounding countries, which has affected around ten million people, caused the deaths of at least 29,000 children and placed half a million more at risk, led to a refugee crisis in East Africa, and which was set off by the region's worst drought in sixty years.
" 'In July and August the food crisis has accounted for just 0.7 percent of the newshole,' notes a report from the Pew Research Center released this month. 'Year-to-date the crisis registers at just 0.2 percent.' This time, instead of pop singers crooning about Africa, we have Lady Gaga parading around in a meat dress.
"Relief organizations are blaming the lack of media coverage for what they consider to be a paltry response — at least within the US."

Conservative Media Said to Downplay Effects of Poverty
"Conservative media are using the announcement that poverty increased to return to their allegation that the poor in America don't have it so bad because they own appliances," Media Matters for America said Wednesday. "In fact, poverty affects Americans in profound ways, such as their health, education, and housing."
The Census Bureau's report, "Poverty and Health Insurance Coverage in the United States," said Tuesday, "The nation's official poverty rate in 2010 was 15.1 percent, up from 14.3 percent in 2009 — the third consecutive annual increase in the poverty rate. There were 46.2 million people in poverty in 2010, up from 43.6 million in 2009 — the fourth consecutive annual increase and the largest number in the 52 years for which poverty estimates have been published.
". . . Among race groups, real median income declined for white and black households between 2009 and 2010, while changes for Asian and Hispanic-origin households were not statistically different. Real median income for each race and Hispanic-origin group has not yet recovered to the pre-2001 recession all-time highs."

NBC Names Community Affairs V.P. for L.A. Station
KNBC, the NBC television station in Los Angeles, has named Terri Hernandez Rosales as vice president of community affairs and communications, the station announced on Tuesday.
"In her new role, Hernandez Rosales will manage the long-term strategy of the station's community investment and charitable efforts and oversee strategic communications for the station, handling local media relations and other external affairs," it said.
Hernandez Rosales was vice president of communication for Los Angeles Universal Preschool.
"Terri brings a unique blend of public relations and philanthropic experience to NBC4," said Craig Robinson, president and general manager, recently named executive vice president and chief diversity officer of NBCUniversal.
Last month, CCNMA: Latino Journalists of California and the National Association of Hispanic Journalists each protested what they called a demotion of five Latino anchors in the past year at KNBC.
Julio Moran, executive director of CCNA, told Journal-isms, "When I spoke to Craig he mentioned that this hire was in the works, so I'm not sure that it is in direct response to my letter.
"But, regardless, it is a good move because KNBC has been without a community affairs person since Paula Madison as GM got rid of the position, and instead used a producer to act in that role to produce community related stories to air on the news shows.
"It is important to have Latinos behind cameras, especially in the newsroom, but it is more important to have them in key anchor positions in front of the camera because that is what the community sees, and they want to see people who look like them."
Readers Subsidize Project on Black Ex-Cons Seeking Work
Cleveland freelance writer Afi Scruggs has raised $1,000 from readers to produce a multimedia package on the employment problems of African American ex-offenders. She used Spot.us, which describes itself as "an open source project to pioneer 'community powered reporting.' "
" 'Hard Time on the Unemployment Line' is a multimedia package that explores the problems African American male ex-offenders have when they look for work," Scruggs wrote to colleagues Wednesday. "I wrote two stories, produced a six-minute audio piece, and took the photographs included in the package. I raised $1,000 for this effort through an innovative site entitled spot.us. This was a first for me, but I hope it won't be the last.
"I'm sharing because I believe crowd-funded journalism is a means to report and distribute untold stories.
"Now, for the best news. Because the package has already been paid for, all the content is free. Yep. Free. Gratis. If you use any part of it, please attribute and share the link. I'd like to see where this lands."
Short Takes
- "CNN's Suzanne Malveaux has been on the ground in Afghanistan for nearly a week on a military embed," Alex Alvarez reported Tuesday for Mediaite. "Since her arrival in Kabul on September 8th, she has conducted a series of interviews with those most intimately involved in attempting to prepare Afghanistan for both its short- and long-term future, both reporting from the region on the tenth anniversary of 9/11 and on the Base attack from the region that had occurred the day before."
- ABC's Robin Roberts, discussing her battle with breast cancer with the Ladies Home Journal, was asked, "Do you take work more in stride now, for example, if you don't get the big interview or assignment?" Roberts replied: "If I don't get the interview I accept it. I don't read into things anymore or look for hidden reasons. I've learned to let things go. I wanted to go to Japan after the earthquake but my doctors said no, due to radiation. I think there is a fine line between being passionate and still being competitive as a journalist and I think I've found it. There is always another 'get.' "
- "CNN's partnership with the Tea Party Express bringing a GOP debate to Tampa Monday won its timeslot in cable news, drawing 3.6-million viewers, according to ratings figures from the newschannel," Eric Deggans wrote on his St. Petersburg (Fla.) Times blog.
- "CNN reaches the most viewers in well-to-do households, while the highest household incomes on cable belong to Bloomberg TV," according to the 35th annual Ipsos Mendelsohn Affluent Survey, Jon Lafayette wrote Wednesday for Broadcasting & Cable. ". . . Spanish-language broadcast networks reach fewer viewers in affluent households, but the households they do reach have high median incomes: $144,300 for Telemundo and $142,700 for Univision."
- "Inez Russell Gomez became editorial page editor at The Santa Fe New Mexican on Monday, publisher Robin Martin announced," the paper reported Tuesday. "Gomez replaces William Waters, who retired last week after more than 20 years in the position. . . . Gomez has edited the paper's specialty magazines — including Bienvenidos and Indian Market magazines—— since 2005. Previously, she worked as editor of The Taos News, city editor at The New Mexican and an editor in Albuquerque, Texas and Florida."
- Armando Salguero, the Miami Herald's Dolphins beat reporter, triggered a newsroom exchange over the Herald's reporting of a National Enquirer story about Sarah Palin having an affair with former Miami Heat basketball player Glenn Rice, Glenn Garvin reported Wednesday for his Random Pixels blog. Salguero questioned using the material.
- Paula Madison, the former NBCUniversal executive who is a partner in Williams Group Holdings LLC, and CEO, Madison Media Management LLC, is the only journalist to make Essence magazine's "2011 Power List," its annual list of top-ranking African-American women. Madison is also a board member of the Maynard Institute. The list is part of the October issue.
- "Inner City Media Corporation announced earlier today that it has reached an agreement in principle with its senior lenders, pursuant to which the Company will implement a consensual pre-negotiated financial restructuring that will result in a restructured balance sheet," the company said Tuesday. Creditors of Inner City Media Corp., the holding company for the owner of New York City's WLIB and WBLS radio stations, filed an involuntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition last month.
- "The Sowetan newspaper's publishing of prominent pictures of two officers having sex while on duty was not in the public interest, the Press Ombudsman ruled on Monday," the South African Press Association reported. ". . . The Sowetan was directed to print on its second page that six readers had complained to the Press Ombudsman, details of the story and the gist of the complaints. After the article was published, the woman officer was dismissed, while the man was suspended and faces disciplinary proceedings."
- "The Committee to Protect Journalists is alarmed by the new measures taken by Egypt's ruling military council," the committee said on Tuesday. "In recent days, the military announced that it would actively enforce the Hosni Mubarak-era Emergency Law, which allows civilians, including journalists, to be tried in state security courts. Other recent anti-press measures include an Al-Jazeera bureau being raided and shut down, the military announcing a 'temporary freeze' on issuing licenses to satellite television stations, and a foreign blogger being denied entry into the country."
- "A score of Reporters Without Borders activists demonstrated outside the Hotel Ritz in Paris at 8 a.m. today in protest against Rwandan President Paul Kagame's visit to France," the press freedom group reported Tuesday. ". . . Wearing red gags to symbolize violations of freedom of expression in Rwanda, the demonstrators brandished umbrellas with the words 'Kagame predator' and placards saying '"Kagame predator in Paris!' and 'France - Rwanda, no freedom, no contract.' "

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (180 votes).
In short: Overrated race.In full: This is a massively overrated race.Dull course. Lack of atmosphere. Poor facilities. And ridiculously overpriced. The race isn't actually ran by running folk but country toffs. And it sadly shows.Date of review: April 18, 2010
In short: Great course - nice quiet lanes with plenty of supportDate of review: April 15, 2010
In short: Cracking course but the starter was a bit offIn full: This was a cracking race other than a few minor problems at the start. Chips in the post or don't bother with them and tannoy facing the runners (volume up to 11 please mr speaker) and it will be sorted for next year.The course definitely has PB potential, and the free snacks and shoe trophy were a nice touch.Only 1 Michael Winner star this year but will be back next year to try again.Date of review: April 14, 2010
In short: Excellent course for a beginner.In full: I would say this is a perfect race for a beginner (like me, my second half) because the course has no major hills, just gentle ups and downs. Lovely countryside though picturesque villages with a most enjoyable bacon butty at the end. I thought the organisation was very good, ok a little delay, but no major problems. Will be back!Date of review: April 13, 2010
In short: Fast Course, great conditionsIn full: Could not have been any better for a PB race, flat course combined with ideal running conditions. Interesting course and 1/2 mile markers really do help! Friendly race, could have done without the delay at the start in terms of preparation and the onus should really be on people to get there in good time! Will be there next year!Date of review: April 13, 2010
In short: Lovely scenery but rather too hilly for a PB.In full: Hilliness,lack of atmosphere and roadside support made it a poor PB potential race. Marshalls seemed thin on the ground and I was rather confused at the very end which entrance to take to get to the finish. First drink station should have been nearer. Cups were a good idea as they do not cause as much hazard when discarded on roadside as bottles do.Liked the half mile markers. Broke up the miles so that each one seemed shorter.Date of review: April 13, 2010
In short: Good course with PB potential. A come back to eventIn full: Have done this before and always enjoy it. It's a shame that timing chips were not sent out with numbers as the queing for the timing chips caused a 15 minute delay to the start. apart from that the organisation was as good as ever. Back again next year.Date of review: April 12, 2010
Date of review: April 12, 2010
In short: Nice quick courseDate of review: April 12, 2010
In short: Well done Ian and coIn full: Third time of running and another great experience although I couldnt remember the little upward 'pulls'.Delayed start not an issue but the PA wasnt loud enough to carry to the assembled runners so we didnt know what was going on.The shoe, showers (I found them) and sports massage afterwards were a good touch and how quick were the times out afterwards!!!One final thing - the seeded start. Not sure if its needed but would it be better to seed the sub 1hr40 a little more? Maybe a sub 1hr30 and a sub 1hr20 too? Would maybe just ease the bottleneck at the bottom of the field for the super swift!!Well done one and allDate of review: April 11, 2010
