Skip to comments.Exclusive: Embattled Syria Expert Elizabeth O'Bagy Says She Made 'Many Mistakes'
Posted on 09/17/2013 5:28:22 AM PDT by Enchante
Her research on Syria influenced key lawmakersbut Dr. Elizabeth OBagy wasnt who she said she was. For the first time, she tells Josh Rogin she was never even in a PhD program.
Elizabeth OBagy, the Syria researcher at the center of a week-long controversy surrounding her academic credentials and her work with the Syrian opposition, admitted for the first time to The Daily Beast she was never enrolled in a Ph.D. program despite representations she made to the press and multiple organizations for whom she worked.
(Excerpt) Read more at thedailybeast.com ...
I'm not one to worship credentials, what matters is someone's knowledge, experience, and judgment.... but still, when someone fakes credentials that always reflects badly upon ..... knowledge, experience, and judgment.
Kerry's expert
Elizabeth O'Blarney.
There are three curious pieces to this story. First, she actually did have a bachelors and masters degree. No argument over that. Second, by European standards....it's hard to claim a status as an "expert" unless you have that doctor title with you. I think this is bogus and there are thousands of experts in the US who never attended college, or simply have a two-year degree from some community college. Third....it would be nice to know where exactly she made this decision to call herself "doctor", and if this was related to some political appointment of sorts.
My tagline was invented upon reading about this "expert" for McQueeg.
excellent tagline!!
She's another example of somebody who got by not with knowledge, but by telling people what they wanted to hear.
The damage has been done. Her bizarre claim that the al Qaeda atrocity committing anti Christian rebels are a moderate credible alternative to Assad is now embedded in the US government and the MSM working consensus on Syria. Once a lie becomes accepted, inept strategically disastrous policy follows.
Remember Mark Fuhrman's lying about using the "N Word" in the OJ Trial? His subsequent testimony was thusly declared null and void. O'Bagy told a real whopper about her academic accomplishments. Therefore, her Syrian Reporting is also highly suspect? A liar is a liar is a liar!
This reminds me of the old Three Stooges gag. Is there a doctor in the house?
In all seriousness, this is the sad state we now find ourselves. Last week, it appeared that she had a doctorate dissertation in that she was in the process of defending. In other words, she was on her way to getting the sheepskin. Now, we find out that it was a total fabrication. Shame on her. I'm guessing she did it for the same reason a lot of Americans do it. To get a job they want.
Personally, I don't care how much research she does on Syria. While the situation is tragic and sad, it does not mean America should be getting involved militarily.
mods, I searched before posting this article, but it looks like Don-o posted it while I was still preparing my post, 3 minutes before I posted this one (8:25 vs. 8:28).
Sorry for the duplication.....
Elizabeth O'Bagofshite.
Ask Senator Elizabeth Warren, 'Rat of Mass, if any of that matters to low-information voters.
I'm curious. If this woman's statements, based on her "expertise", influenced government policy and MSM reporting of the "news" how many deaths can be claimed to begin with her and because of her?
To steal a quote.."She lied, Syrians died"
Or worse, "Kerry lied, HOPE died."
This liar and degenerate isn't "embattled". She is an admitted liar.
If Obama can be President and Elizabeth Warren can be a US Senator, then standards are already gone.... it's true.
So they were going to lie us into war. Just makes Putin look more like the good guy in this conflict.
Makes you wonder how many other policy decisions have been influenced by fraudulent "experts."
"Elizabeth O'Bagofshite."
Even better...
I just posted this on the Daily Beast comments, where I sometimes troll. "Ask Senator Elizabeth Warren, Dem Senator from Mass, if lying about your bio or credentials (to become the affirmative-action "Native American" woman at Harvard etc), or plagiarizing right and left, will matter in the long run. Ms. Pow Wow Chow is now a member of our nation's highest legislative body. Pocahontas Warren lied and laughed her way to success with the nation's low-information voters, who could not care less about truth vs. lies as a basic test of character."
Memo to Elizabeth: it's a good thing you're just another well-intentioned liberal. Had you described yourself as a conservative, you would have been subjected to far greater scrutiny on your prevarications. For example, Matt Lauer would be interviewing former boyfriends of yours, getting them to admit you faked orgasms during sex.
Wrapped in an attractive package...
N-i-c-e take.
A-N-O-T-H-E-R OBMA SCREW-UP Obama has an aversion to truth-telling. He calculatedly seeks out people to shill for him---to tailor "expert advice" to fit his pre-determined goals. These people are all frauds, hiding partisanship as they kneel in obeisance to Obama. It is truly appalling that O'Bagy influenced policymakers that could have resulted in another bloody, costly Mideast war.
WEIRD DEM SCIENCE O'Bagy, Susan Rice and Samantha Powers all look like they were hatched from the same bad seed.
SUMMING UP: We reside in a superpower---a nuclear-armed nation---now lead by Obama's tight-knit, sap-happy narcissistic coterie, who were easily bamboozled by a grad student.
Oh, I almost forgot---Our Savior, Obama, is a Nobel Peace Prize winner whose holy grail is to bring democracy and peace to the globe.
(waiting for hysterical laughter to die down)
It's amazing to me that "one bad apple [can] spoil the whole bunch" so!
Who would set up a paradigm where one person could so easily and fraudulently escape peer review, only to be left with her own set of unique facts that mysteriously misleads a whole flock?
This still smacks to me of a situation where her false credentials being known (maybe long, long ago) made her ripe for being a "fall guy" whenever the need should arise.
It's long-term corruption—endemic to our current banana republic. The string-pullers have something really juicy on all those in higher positions to keep 'em in line and vote the way of the string-pullers. The squeeky clean Palins are pooh-poohed along the way, unless of course, they're "so "uncontrollable" that they need to be sufficiently damaged" so as never to be palatable to hold a lofty position.
"Her research"? What "research"? It was pure, fabricated propaganda.
Another government expert.
Mr. Trans research report served as the primary public health justification for a new diesel vehicle regulatory scheme approved by CARB Dr. Enstroms statements brought to light that Mr. Trans Ph.D. was not awarded by the University of California at Davis as Tran claimed. Mr. Tran subsequently admitted that he purchased his Ph.D. at a cost of $1,000 from Thornhill University, a fake institution and Internet diploma mill based at a UPS store in New York.
"Kagan defends OBagys research, which was based on her connections and interactions with opposition leaders both inside and outside Syria and argued in favor of supporting the moderate Syrian opposition...."
Kagan any kin to the SC justice Kagan— Kagan being "short" for Kaganovich (it is).
The "connections" this O'Bagy has with the opposition is probably drinks or pelvic affiliation with their Saudi paid agents in Georgetown. What sheer idiocy.
And the echo chamber that is the brains of Kerry and McCain (who both served in Vietnam you know)... further inflates the complete BS leading us into yet another generated civil war for profiteers. As a conservative, more and more am sounding and thinking WAY outside the Beltway bandits of mil-industrial complex Eisenhower warned us about. Since when are there "moderate" muslim rebels unless we "create them" with "experts" like this. This is total shite.
If she was never in a PHD program, why does this article call her Dr.?
Because it's the "Daily Beast?"
Yes, she is. Laz wouldn't get a chance to hit that because everybody is lining up to hit that first. Well, almost anybody. The pervs.
OBagy worked for ISW, founded by Kimberly Kagan.
Kagans brother is McCain adviser, Robert Kagan.
Who is Robert married to? Victoria Nuland, former spokesperson for the United States Department of State. (She was nominated to serve as Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs in May 2013.)
Republican Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham were vocal critics of the administrations messaging after the Benghazi attacks, but on Friday, they issued a laudatory statement about Victoria Nuland
D.C. and our ruling oligarchy are and inbreed cesspool. Most have mediocre minds at best. Lots of them, such as McCain are down right insane and stupid to boot. Dido our "media" actually things are even worse in our "media" I now rely on the Brit press for real news and real reporting. Hell even the Russian press is better then most of what passes for press in the USA.
Any more questions?
There IS no research, only opinion, and in this case propaganda, with all these government infiltrators.
Since when has either egregious stupidity or lack of qualifications hindered any Obama foreign policy initiative?
Good for her! She'll really go places.
I hear there's an opening on John McShame's staff, and she should fit right in.
I was reading the comments. It is amazing how little thinking and talking-point spewing the libs do. They seem to all support that it doesn't matter about the lying. She supports Barry and their side is noble. The ends justifies the means. Lying is ok if you are a lib.
Exactly. Reading their comments shows that they don't know, know that they don't know, and don't care that they don't know the facts. They know their "gospel truth" (socialism/progressivism) and that is the belief they cling to.
Looks like "O'Bagy's resume' was a little Saggy".
And she was in Vietnam, you know. No wonder Kerry went up the river to Cambodia on a secret mission, to meet her, n'est pas?
He should just have booked a room in the Royal Hotel in Phnom Penh. Great French pastry deserts too.
-—and Powers looks a lot like a Kennedy to me. I've always suspected a lot of inbreeding in the political class——It was a factor in bringing down the Roman Empire and a whole lot of others. And the propensity to lie thru ones teeth is almost a qualifier to democrat politics.
She sounds like Obama, and a perfect fit with his Administration and the kind of "expertise" it needs.
HEH---good one. (Got my fingers crossed WRT bringing down the empire).
Looks like Obama is scared to open his mouth since Syria---that WH pic of him clammed-up w/the gabby Netanhayu was a scream.

I needed a pair of work/dress shoes that did not hurt my feet after prolonged wear. I decided to give the MBT Kabisa 2 a try and I am glad that I did so. The Kabisa 2 functions as a work shoe or a dress shoe, but feels like neither one. It feels like a well fitting, walking shoe. The instep is nice and sleek and feels great with dress socks. I purchased mine in the Black Nappa Leather and when I wear them with black slacks, no one can tell I am wearing an MBT with a rocker bottom. It is that slim and sleek looking. The Napa Leather is rather soft and smooth. The shoe fits perfectly to size. If you feel that you might want the leather to stretch slightly, I would go the next size up. It is ever so slightly snug in the toe box region as well.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee plans to honor former Lady Vols coach Pat Summitt by building an on-campus statue in her honor.
Tennessee athletics department spokesman Jimmy Stanton confirmed Tuesday morning what athletics director Dave Hart has been mentioning during the school's Big Orange Caravan statewide tour. Stanton said the statue would go up "hopefully as soon as in the fall."
Summitt, 60, led the Tennessee women's basketball program to eight national titles and 18 Final Four appearances in 38 seasons before stepping down in April 2012, a year after she announced she had been diagnosed with early-onset dementia, Alzheimer's type.
NEW DEAL: Summitt to remain coach emeritus
Summitt's 1,098 career victories make her the winningest NCAA Division I basketball coach, men's or women's.
Summitt remains on Tennessee's staff as head coach emeritus. The court on which the Lady Vols play at Thompson-Boling Arena already bears her name. Her alma mater, Tennessee-Martin, unveiled a bronze sculpture of Sum on its campus in October 2012.

I liked this pedal with the Drive knob anywhere from 3 o'clock to WFO. In this range, the pedal ranges from indie rock guitar a la Wilco to classic AC/DC blues-rock. It is definitely hotter than a Tube Screamer or Boss Overdrive, and its overdrive tone is boutique all the way—in fact, I've never played an overdrive pedal like it. With that said, it may be an acquired taste for some used to more traditional overdrives. I think players well on their way in their search for the perfect tone will enjoy test-driving the Stampede OD.
According to Providence, the pedal uses a bipolar polar power supply that pumps ± 15 volts to its overdrive circuit. That is more than three times the traditional power on most overdrive stompboxes. It also means 9-volt batteries get sucked dry faster than a can of beer in a heat wave. Providence does warn users about the Stampede OD's battery consumption in the manual.
Buy if...
a truly classy overdrive on a clean-sounding pedal belongs in your rig.
Skip if...
your aim is classic, well-known overdrive pedal tone.

Like most guitar compressor stompboxes, the compression is an effect and not designed to be transparent—something it took me awhile to figure out back with my old MXR. The three-knob design (Level, Attack and Sustain) should be a clue that this is an effect to be heard, and goes one-step beyond the two knob DynaComp. At any setting I dialed in, the Velvet Comp definitely flattened out my dynamic range—no surprise there. I was impressed with the sustain when playing both distorted and clean tones, and I got used to the effect quickly. I even found myself leaving it on after solos because I liked what it did for the more subtle fundamentals in my chord voicings.
The Velvet Comp can also be used as a limiter. It is okay as a sustainer, though it lacks the boost associated with dedicated sustainer pedals. There really is no magic setting as it is entirely dependent on your rig and how hot your signal is going into the pedal. I did tend to keep the Level knob jacked pretty high, as I felt the pedal lacked the gain required to recover from ample compression.
Buy if...
you need a classic sounding guitar compressor stompbox that is obvious.
Skip if...
you expect a fair amount of boost from your compressor, or you need more transparency in compression.

Versailles, Ky. (June 3, 2013) – Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS) Chancellor Jay Box announced Monday the appointment of Danine Alderete-Tomlin as executive director of the Automotive Manufacturing Technical Education Collaborative (AMTEC).
Alderete-Tomlin is an experienced leader who has served in the corporate manufacturing and education sector for more than 20 years.
"I am confident Danine Alderete-Tomlin will continue to build upon the strong, collaborative partnerships that have placed AMTEC at the forefront of education," said Dr. Box.
Alderete-Tomlin will begin serving as executive director effective June 3.
"I am humbled and yet very excited to work even more closely with the AMTEC partners and the wonderful staff at KCTCS," said Alderete-Tomlin. "Dr. Box and the Kentucky manufacturers have given me a warm 'Kentucky welcome' and have made me feel at home."
For the past seven years, Alderete-Tomlin has served as a community college corporate account executive at the Workforce Center of Excellence-Economic and Workforce Development division at Alamo Community Colleges. Prior to this position she was a program manager and adjunct professor at Alamo Colleges. Alderete-Tomlin also has corporate experience in quality, reliability and failure analysis in the electronics industry.
Alderete-Tomlin earned a bachelor's degree in business management from the University of Phoenix. She is the recipient of a Malcolm Baldridge Criteria Certificate for Excellence in Education and also has an associate in arts degree from San Antonio College.
AMTEC is a National Science Foundation (NSF) funded National Center for Excellence in Advanced Automotive Manufacturing collaboration of community and technical colleges and industry partners from across the United States. Working together, these organizations promote postsecondary education and high school career choices in advanced manufacturing, and skills development to better prepare highly skilled technicians and manufacturing engineers for work in automobile manufacturing and advanced manufacturing technology to be globally competitive.
AMTEC has created a unique collaboration of industry and colleges that provides the effective education of workers prized by the industry. The National Governors Association (NGA), through case study, has selected AMTEC as a model and national best practice. NGA states that "The AMTEC story shows that it is possible for governors to work collaboratively with industry, with community colleges, and with each other to provide people with the opportunity to build their technical skills and ensure both America's future prosperity and their own economic security" (A Sharper Focus On Technical Workers, How to Educate and Train for the Global Economy, Martin, et. al. 2010).

Get a better understanding of modern physics (Standard Model/String Theory), since I'm pretty much stuck at Protons, Neutrons and electrons.

Have you read Brian Greene? He's still incomprehensible, but he's entertaining. He also did some shows for Nova with neat special effects. If you watch these, you can fool yourself into thinking that you understand what he's talking about.

1. Travel somewhere off of North America: I've traveled all over the US and Canada but have never left the continent. I really want to go to Europe or Australia at some point in my life and this is something that's been on my To Do list for a LONG time. Someday... *sigh*
2. Learn to play guitar
3. Do more with photography: I love taking pictures but I don't do much with them.
4. Figure out how to use Pinterest: Seriously, there's so much information there that I can barely function and start to go cross eyed when I'm on that website, LOL

I traveled to Australia when I was fresh out of high school. Lived there for a while. That's the kind of thing you do when college suddenly scares you but you have your college money (I sold a house I'd inherited.)
Some people will say this isn't something you have to learn how to do, but remember, you're talking about the other side of the world. You have to learn how to stand around upside down without falling off into space. Then there's the walking and talking backward--
Now I want to go to Canada. I already can speak a passable Canadian. I haven't learned Quebecian, though.

Product Description
The XR-200 is KinLin's lightest clincher road rim, and possibly one of the lightest aluminum rims out there. Featuring a boxed aero cross section, this rim may not be the most aerodynamic rim but it's ideal for use on a climbing or weight-conscious wheel set and is super strong. The XR-200 is extruded from a super light Niobium-Aluminum alloy and joined with a high quality pinned joint. It comes with a high gloss anodization and machined sidewalls. For riders over 55kg (120 lbs), we do recommend higher spoke counts (24 front, 28 rear minimum) and do not recommend them at all for riders over 85kg (190 lbs).

Kristen doing interviews for OTR in San Fransisco. We'll post the video(s) when available :)
i like the glasses.ReplyDelete
I wonder if the interviewer asked why she was wearing glasses? Does anyone know if this was recorded? I have to wear mine sometimes because my contacts will irritate my eyes at times.ReplyDelete
she is not near-sighted, she has perfect vision. Those are style glasses, most likely. The are meant to be worn to look cool and smart, that's all. The younger generation do these kinds of things for some reason. Even the NBA basketball players are doing it. I just think it's silly.Delete
anom 12.32, why you aks bout glasses?like us ,she can wear anything she want.@ mae,I think you'r silly coz Kristen dont care what people say bout her, cool or not just love her and for me she is perfectDelete
@Mae...it's not a generation thing when you actually need glasses. You can see Kristen wearing glasses in early Twilight cast photos. I'm pretty sure they are prescription. But then again why does it bother people she's wearing glasses. People are just wayyy too critical of this girl.Delete
i agree. people call themselves fans but think they know her too well.. and as such are entitled to be critical of everything she does. It must be so annoying having people think they know just because they see her in interviews or on the red carpet.Delete
wow krisbian is very protectif and not rational. always angry with people just comment about kristen. and for your information nobady perfect and kristen too, if people we care wrong or not good it's ok i think say the truth. and perfect is for god.Delete
Man, she has done A LOT of press for this movie! And, for how many years this movie took to be made, and for how long ago it was shot. For all of everyone's efforts and time, this movie deserves to be at least nominated for a big award!!!!!ReplyDelete
It only seems like a lot of press because it has been done for different audiences in difference counties. This is press for the American relaese of OTR.Delete
Am I the only one who sees Elvis Presley's resemblance in her? I mean, if they ever made a movie about his life (maybe they already have, I don't know), she would be PERFECT to play Lisa Marie maybe. That would be soo cool!ReplyDelete
The glasses make her look very intelligent. Not that she doesn't normally. They just enhance it! Love them!ReplyDelete
Kristen is rocking glasses these days.Only she can make geeky look fashaion statement.ReplyDelete
I love You (Seni Seviyorum) Kristen :)ReplyDelete
aaah Turkish mate? :D
Cok Guzel(Very Beautiful) Kristen :D
Aahh...she looks cute with or without glasses, love herReplyDelete
i always thought she resembles Priscilla PresleyReplyDelete
She's worn glasses for a long time. I remember seeing her in 2009 in VC with them.....late at night, just a different style.ReplyDelete
This movie, is doing allot of press, in the US, and in some countries like amsterdam, it out on dvd already strange also, not the movie ok, exact but OTR, makes me thing of paranormal activity because i always only seeing two ppl doing press, lik only two ppl in the entire movie, aso k looooks good in almost most things she wears the glasses look great!ReplyDelete
Love the glassese, cute~~~ >3ReplyDelete
I know I'm kind of silly but I like the size of her necklace so the pendant is always near her heart. It's the right place for a gift from a beloved one.
Oooooh that's sounds so cheesy but I can't help myself. I don't know why I'm in such a sappy mood. Maybe because I miss new pics of R/K together somewhere (I know I'm greedy) or it's only the Advent season. The short days and long nights, the cold, the snow, Christmas everywhere, the "Adventsmärkte", the carols, the warm glow of lighted candles on Advent wreaths and the delicious lebkuchen (gingerbread)...
I don't know if or how you celebrate these sundays before christmas. Here in Germany we try to come together with friends and/or family in the afternoon, light the next candle on the family advent wreath and enjoy some hot coffee or hot chocolate and some cake/lebkuchen/christmas goodies.
What about you?
But whether you're celebrating or not I wish EVERYONE of you "Einen Fröhlichen 2. Advent" (A Happy Second Sunday of Advent). That's our common greeting here today. <3
Yes, we are celebrating too and we have a lot of snow in Germany.Delete
She looks beautiful/sexy in glassses I mean look at her she's beautiful!!!ReplyDelete
Does anyone know if or when we get to see this interview?ReplyDelete
Kristen does wear glasses...they are not for show. Sometimes wearing contacts they get irritated and you need a break from wearing them. Just sayin...lol...anyways...can't wait to see this movie!ReplyDelete
She has that Elvis look for sure. Her and Riley keough look like they could be sisters.
I remember Bette midler saying Kristen reminds her of a female Elvis.
But Kristen is definitely more beautiful, not to mention that she is more intelligent.Delete
Kristen looks hottt in those glasses.Mme.Mae,i am sure nobody is bothered if she wears glasses because shes got vision problem or not,she looks damn cute in them and i am sure Rob loves to see her wearing the glasses!ReplyDelete

1. If TR is off the board, trading down, but NOT getting Floyd or Blackmon. I'm not opposed to a trade down, but if you don't net one of these two in the process, what's the point?
2. Taking Claiborne w/ TR still on the board. Molotov Cocktails *might* be in order, then.
Addendum: Taking Blackmon over TR if both on the board.

Oh, I can see why this is among your favourites now– the classic silhouette is super sweet and the print is the perfect brightness for spring. I hope you enjoyed seeing the Hunger Games and had a lovely weekend! xxReplyDelete
Hahahah when I watched the tracker jacker scene I said to my friend, "I feel like I'm watching Rosemary's Baby!" hahaha because I was trippin' outttt!
You're fabulous, as usual! :)
umm, hunger games was incredible. definitely have to see the movie again.
would love to rock those capitol outfits.

such a great dress! you look lovely:)ReplyDelete
I adored Hunger Games too...didn't expect it to be as good as it even was!!! I agree...felt like a betrayer or something, but totally wanted to live in the Capitol just to dress up like that ;) And the camera work was so artistic and conveyed emotion so well!!! It was just a gorgeous film.
This is just a gorgeous dress...it is SO YOU, Amber is right! Love that teeny waist and full skirt, great silhouette...and that bright fabric makes it oh-so fun to wear.
<3 cambria
I so love the Hunger Games! I'm so bummed I was out of town this weekend and didn't have the opportunity to see it. This weekend for sure! And this dress is pure spring perfection!!

What is AASE?
The Advanced Apprenticeship in Sporting Excellence is a government-funded initiative that has been designed to help young people aged 16 to 18 combine education and sport. It's aimed at athletes who have a realistic potential of achieving excellence in their sport – and want to make a career of performing at the highest level – but who also want to continue with their education.
AASE and aquatics
The ASA is dedicated to delivering the AASE programme and has apprentices from all of the disciplines: swimming, disability swimming, diving, synchronised swimming and water polo.
In October 2006 we were one of the first sporting bodies to launch the AASE programme and the first aquatic apprentices graduated in March 2009, with 94 athletes receiving qualifications as part of the scheme. Learn more about our involvement in the early days.
Aquatic stars who have completed the AASE programme include double Olympic medallist Rebecca Adlington, Breastroke World Record holder Adam Peaty, British diver Tom Daley and synchronised swimmers Jenna Randall and Olivia Allison.
Athletes… learn more about getting involved.
The AASE framework
The idea is that the apprenticeship takes 15 months to complete and is made up of three components. The overall apprenticeship will be awarded by Skills Active (the Sector Skills Council for Active Leisure and Learning established by employers in Sport and Recreation, Health and Fitness) after all three components have been completed.
Background to the AASE programme
Skills Active developed the AASE frameworking partnership with a number of governing bodies of sport, industry experts and other partnership organisations. Learn more about the history of the AASE programme.
The AASE programme is funded by the Learning and Skills Council (LSC), who are responsible for funding and planning education and training for over 16-year-olds in England.
The apprenticeship is the first to offer elite and potentially elite athletes to achieve proper recognition of the skills, knowledge and understanding they are developing/gaining in their quest for excellence. Learn more about the key facts of the AASE programme.
Contact us
If you have any questions regarding the programme please feel free to contact us.
Click here to find out what takes place on the AASE programme and look at what the athletes get up to throughout the year.

In this tutorial you will learn how to quickly get up and running with the demodb CUBRID demo database which comes with every installation of CUBRID.
During your CUBRID installation you will be asked whether or not you want the installer to automatically create and pre-populate the demodb database for you. In this tutorial we will assume you have agreed, and the installer has created the demodb database in CUBRID Server.
If you have not but later decided that it would have been better to have installed the demodb database, refer to Create the demodb CUBRID Demo Database tutorial. It is a piece of cake!
Once CUBRID is installed in your system, you can now check if CUBRID Service is running:
cubrid service status
If it is not, you can start it by running this command:
cubrid service start
Once the server has been started, you can start your demodb database.
cubrid server start demodb
To connect to the demodb database enter the username dba and a blank/empty password.
At this point you have learnt how to create a database and a table as well as insert sample data.

U.S. Women's Sitting Team Sweeps Lithuania

Manager, Media Relations and Publications
Phone: 719-228-6800
E-Mail: email@example.com
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (April 25, 2008) - The U.S. Women's Sitting Volleyball Team swept Lithuania on Friday in its first pool-play match at the World Organization Volleyball for Disabled (WOVD) Intercontinental Cup in Ismailia, Egypt.
The U.S. Women's Sitting Team won Friday's match 3-0 (25-13, 25-16, 25-19) and will face Iran on Saturday.
In the other match in the United States' pool, Slovenia defeated Iran 3-0 (25-21, 25-9, 25-18).
The United States is one of nine countries that have sent teams to the tournament. There are also 11 men's teams competing against each other at the Intercontinental Cup, which the WOVD is planning to hold every four years, prior to the Paralympic Games.
The U.S. Women's Sitting Volleyball Team is ranked third in the world and qualified for the 2008 Paralympics in Beijing by virtue of its fifth-place finish at the 2006 Sitting Volleyball World Championship and because the Afro Arab zone did not have a champion to send. The U.S. Sitting Women won the bronze medal at the 2004 Paralympic Games in Athens.

Social Work Programs' Use of the World Wide Web to Facilitate Field Instruction
Employing a systems model, this study presents a content analysis of the Websites of social work academic programs in the United States. A sample of 292 academic programs was extracted from the Baccalaureate Programs' Directors' (BPD) online directory of CSWE-accredited social work programs. Of these, 119 were MSW or MSW/BSW programs; the remaining 173 were BSW programs. Although many aspects of Website content were examined, field curriculum was the central focus of this study. The results demonstrate the wide variety of information included on the Websites. MSW and MSW/BSW program Websites offer more information than BSW programs. However, most programs are not making use of the Internet to obtain feedback, create interaction, or provide support. A variety of model Websites are offered to assist social work academic programs develop and maintain their own Websites.

Foster Grandparents celebrates 35 years
GLADSTONE – Foster Grandparents from Delta, Menominee and Schoolcraft counties celebrated 35 years of service in their communities at their Annual Recognition Dinner held recently at the Terrace Bay Inn in Gladstone. Lois Pinar, member of the Delta County Policy Advisory Council served as mistress of ceremony.
The activities were overseen by Policy Advisory Council members from all three counties. Evening highlights featured the traditional birthday cake representing 35 years of service.
Elizabeth Hansen, secretary of the Upper Peninsula Foster Grandparent Foundation, introduced the Foster Grandparent Program Foundation top fund-raiser winners. Also honored were the Fund Raising Sub Committee Bingo workers, Donelle Bourdeau, Sharon Reisner, Steve Stein, Peggy Visnaw, Julie Baribeau and Laurel Myer.
Mary Bunnin, program director, presented a plaque of appreciation to Ron Peltier and Menominee Kiwanis for their dedication in working with people with special and exceptional needs and hosting "Special Day for Special People" for the past 35 years in Menominee. Also honored was Magdalene Hall, who served 11 years as a Foster Grandparent in Daggett and has continued with the program by serving on the Menominee Policy Advisory Council actively serving with the program for 35 years.
The Foster Grandparent Program began in 1978 with Georgie Safford as the first director recruiting 35 volunteers from the tri-county area. Persons age 60 years and older were needed to provide one-on- one service to children with special or exceptional needs in the schools. They serve from 15-40 hours a week; receive 40 hours of orientation before being placed in the classroom, a non taxable stipend, travel reimbursement, meal each day of service, annual physical examination, excess auto coverage for volunteers driving their own vehicles, accident and personal liability insurance and recognition. Funding for this program is provided by Corporation for National and Community Service, Michigan Office for the Services to the Aging and the Upper Peninsula Foster Grandparent Foundation. The Menominee-Delta-Schoolcraft Community Action Agency Foster Grandparent Program is primarily a rural program, yet is the only area to have a Foundation in the state and possibly the nation that provides funding to a such a program.
One of the achievements of this program is the organization of the Upper Peninsula Foster Grandparent Foundation whose sole purpose is to promote the Foster Grandparent Program in the local area and to fund more Foster Grandparent positions.
The Foundation had its beginning in December, 1982. Contributions to the Foundation are invested and the income earned on the investments is returned to the M-D-S Foster Grandparent Program. To date the Foundation has awarded $197,400 to the local Foster Grandparent Program. This year, $15,300 was awarded by Georgie Safford, Public Relations Officer of the foundation presented the annual award to Bunnin and volunteer coordinator, Peggy Ramsden. This enables support for Foster Grandparents in each of the three counties.
There are currently 52 Foster Grandparents at 14 sites operating in Menominee-Delta, and Schoolcraft Counties.
Children involved with the Community Action Agency intergenerational program call these retired men and women "Grandma" or "Grandpa." These people share their love, wisdom and values with the children. For the Foster Grandparents, happiness is opening the door to the school and the new adventures, new experiences and new insights in the lives of children. All the hugs and smiles are great rewards for the Foster Grandparents.
The special evening guests were the Foster Grandparents who work with children with special and exceptional needs. Foster Grandparents do a multitude of things – from tutoring to story reading to helping with special projects. All Foster Grandparents were honored with a monetary gift, Certificate of Congressional Recognition for their years of service from Federal Senator Debbie Stabenow, State of Michigan Special Tribute Certificate for their years of service from Tom Casperson,State Senator, and Edward MacBroom, State Representative, a 35-year Anniversary Book, and special awards.
Foster Grandparents, all serving in Delta County who were honored are:
NINETEEN YEARS – Berta Maki;
SIXTEEN YEARS – Rovena Murphy, Charlene Groll, and Loretta Skrobiak;
FOURTEEN YEARS – Shirley Macabee and Rose Moulds;
THIRTEEN YEARS – Mary Ellen Kane;
TWELVE YEARS – Helen Creten and Ottilie Dimock;

The Foster Grandparent Program, one of the most successful and respected Senior Volunteer efforts in the United States, enriches all whom serve as well as its beneficiaries.
The Foster Grandparent Program is administered by Community Action Agency, Human Resources Authority, Inc., William Dubord, executive director 507 First Avenue North, Escanaba, Michigan 49829, and has continuous recruitment.
To sign up or for more information contact, Mary Bunnin or Peggy Ramsden at 786-7080.

BD/HD isn't the big order of magnitude leap like we got when we went from VHS to DVD so a lot of people don't see the need to pay extra for it (compared to DVD).
The current situation of the economy around the globe requests makers of popular devices to build-in more functionality into their products to stay competitive, however, this does not seem to be true for Microsoft Xbox 360 and Blu-ray format.
Even though our market sources indicated Microsoft Corp.'s intention to make available an external Blu-ray disc (BD) drive for Microsoft Xbox 360 video game console, the company itself claims that the platform does not need the support for the format. It is obvious that video game consoles are acquired to play games, but while the PlayStation 3 can play BD movies and Wii can be controlled by motion-sensing controllers, the Xbox 360 can support neither technology.
"It's not a feature we get a ton of requests for. We really don't. When you ask people the list of things they want to see us spending time creating in Xbox, Blu-ray is way, way down on the list," said Robert J. Bach, president entertainment and devices division at Microsoft, in an interview with TechFlash web-site.
Microsoft itself is trying to sell content using its own Xbox Live network.
"From a technical perspective, it doesn't help us in the core of what Xbox does, which is in gaming. We can't have publishers produce games on Blu-ray disc. Because then they won't play on the 28 million Xboxes we've already shipped. So it doesn't help us in the core gaming space," said Mr. Bach.
Mr. Bach did not say whether HD DVD, a format that was competing against BD, add-on player for Xbox 360 was actually requested by gamers.
"It costs a lot of money. And so the scenario is, OK, let me get this straight: I'm going to add something to the product that's going to raise the cost, which means the price goes up, consumers aren't asking for it, and by the way, my game developers can't use it," claimed Mr. Bach.
Microsoft urges that it still can bring ultimate quality video over the Internet and there is no need for Blu-ray. Unfortunately, Microsoft does not answer the question whether the HD DVD format was actually needed.
"I have an even better way for you to get high-definition content straight to your TV, between the combination of what we're doing with Netflix, what we're doing with (video on demand), we have a great Xbox Live solution. In a way it's a little bit of a technology looking for an answer. We just have no plans in that space," added Mr.Bach.
The main reason why Microsoft is unenthusiastic regarding Blu-ray is mandatory support of BD-Java interactive technology and Sony's reluctance to adopt competing tech called HDi that was developed by Microsoft. Even though Microsoft managed to push its VC-1 codec onto both Blu-ray and HD DVD markets, the company's negative attitude towards Java prevented it from supporting the former standard in general. As a result, the company used to sell external HD DVD drive for Xbox 360.

Neumann University will host Carol Senf, English professor at Georgia Tech, as the keynote speaker for the Sigma Tau Delta English honor society induction. Senf will present her lecture, "Bram Stoker, Dracula, and Spunky American Women," Thursday, October 11, at 7:30 p.m. in the Fred P. Meagher Theatre in the Thomas A. Bruder Jr. Life Center.
Senf delves far deeper into the legacy of Stoker than critics who are content to view Dracula as a cautionary tale of sexual attraction. She characterizes Stoker as an early literary feminist and techie, enchanted by strong, independent women and fascinated by turn-of-the-twentieth-century technology (the typewriter, phonograph, and telephone). This year marks the 100th anniversary of Bram Stoker's death.
Senf received her Ph.D. in Victorian studies from the State University of New York at Buffalo and joined the faculty of Georgia Tech in 1981. She is currently professor and associate chair in the School of Literature, Media, and Communication at Georgia Tech and has published articles on Victorian literature in Gothic Studies, Victorian Studies, College English, and Victorians Institute Journal, among many others.
This lecture is free and open to the public.

Country ownership is critical for achieving an AIDS-free generation and ensuring a sustainable HIV/AIDS response. When partner countries assume the primary leadership and coordination role in their national response, and when all stakeholders share in the responsibility of supporting these efforts, extraordinary progress is possible.
That's why I was so proud to join Secretary Kerry in a high-level meeting that he hosted with top African and global health leaders on the margins of the United Nations General Assembly in New York last week. During the meeting, the Secretary reaffirmed the U.S. government's commitment to assist countries in realizing the promise of an AIDS-free generation and reaching their broader health goals through the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and the Global Fund to Fight, AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (Global Fund). As the Secretary stated: "A decade ago, PEPFAR created the world's largest and the most successful foreign assistance program ever. And now, a disease that at one time seemed to be unstoppable is actually in retreat."
To further this momentum, the Secretary announced the establishment of PEPFAR Country Health Partnerships. Building on the success of PEPFAR's 22 Partnership Frameworks, PEPFAR Country Health Partnerships will advance the principle of country ownership -– in which President Obama, Secretary Kerry, and I believe so strongly -– by further empowering countries as they work to improve the health of their citizens and achieve an AIDS-free generation at home.
PEPFAR Country Health Partnerships will involve an intensified commitment to shared responsibility and accountability, budget transparency, joint decision-making, and strategic investments based on improved data collection and analysis -– all of which will improve our collective ability to save lives and support sustainability. These partnerships represent the next step in a natural evolution that PEPFAR has undertaken in recent years to move from an emergency program to an enduring initiative.
PEPFAR will initially formalize Country Health Partnerships with South Africa, Namibia, and Rwanda –- three countries that have shown exceptional leadership in assuming greater ownership of their HIV/AIDS responses and caring for their people in the face of what were once seemingly insurmountable odds. Over the next few years, we will expand these to other countries, adapting them so we are responsive to local needs.
A strong Global Fund is absolutely critical to help advance these efforts. Since its inception in 2002, the Global Fund has been a vital partner in supporting country-owned responses to address AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria. That's why the Secretary also announced that the U.S. will host the Global Fund's Fourth Replenishment Conference in early December. Convened every three years, this Conference is the Global Fund's principal opportunity to secure funding for the programs it supports in countries.
The U.S. is the Global Fund's largest donor, and in Fiscal Year 2014, President Obama reaffirmed this commitment by requesting $1.65 billion for the Global Fund -– easily the largest commitment made by any country. The U.S. is challenging other donors to follow its lead and step up their contributions to the Global Fund. In recent weeks, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden have increased their commitments, and earlier this year Germany and France pledged to extend their current level of commitment through the Replenishment period. This news is greatly encouraging, and a sign of strong donor confidence in a reformed Global Fund. But it will take all of us doing our part at this critical moment to make the Replenishment Conference a success.
In echoing Secretary Kerry, I have never been more optimistic than I am today. One of the main reasons is that so many partner countries are demonstrating exceptional leadership and ownership in their national AIDS responses. PEPFAR Country Health Partnership will reinforce and advance their progress by putting more information, tools, and decision-making in the hands of countries that have seized the reins in this way. And a strong Global Fund will help to ensure the resources needed to help support this continued progress are available for countries to access.
For those of us who have spent the majority of our professional lives fighting AIDS -– both in the U.S. and around the globe -– we are at an extraordinary moment. Never before have we had so much momentum, such clear science to guide our way, and so many partners from various sectors driving in the same direction. By expanding access to lifesaving HIV services, sharing greater decision-making with countries, and ensuring a strong Global Fund, we can make an AIDS-free generation a reality. Thanks to Secretary Kerry's strong leadership, we are one step closer to getting there.
Great job Global Fund team! I love reading about the accomplishments of U.S. foreign aid! Keep up the great work State Department!

Only one is the designer
Editor, OBSERVER:
Without regard to the size – no matter how large – our universe might be, even a cursory, shallow or casual observation will quickly yield the obvious; life cannot be from spontaneous generation.
It has been said that hoards of monkeys typing on millions of typewriters could never produce works of Shakespeare. Why not? Well, one reason is that the entire universe, as we know it, does not have the space to contain the monkeys nor the typewriters, paper, the results and etc.
The same applies to the world of living beings. The likelihood (actually impossibility) of uncharted, spontaneous assembly of the living from the inanimate happens to be (conservatively) 1-to-1,000 … with 40,000 more zeros .
The number won't fit in this space. There never was any "energetic primeval soup" (not on Earth, Mars, this galaxy nor other). Beginnings of life NOT being random are therefore a calculated, purposeful effort of a designer!
ALL design requires a designer. That designer is found in John 1:3 among many other places. I do have an idea where we might look for some "primeval soup"….. but that's for another day.

Nintendo has announced that it would release its new Nintendo 3DS portable video game console within the next year. The portable game machine will support stereoscopic 3D effects without need for any special glasses.
"Nintendo 3DS is going to be the new portable game machine to succeed Nintendo DS-series, whose cumulative consolidated sales from Nintendo amounted to 125 million units as of the end of December 2009 and will include backward compatibility so that the software for Nintendo DS-series, including the ones for Nintendo DSi, can also be enjoyed," a statement by Nintendo reads.
It is highly likely that Nintendo will use so-called lenticular lenses to create 3D effects on the screens of the 3DS console. A lenticular lens is an array of magnifying lenses, or prisms, designed so that when viewed from slightly different angles, different images are displayed, which creates stereoscopic 3D effects. The technology itself is not too expensive, but has to be tailored for particular screens. Nintendo will also have to ensure that games designed for DS/DSi consoles look properly on such stereo 3D screen. Moreover, considering the fact that stereo 3D can hardly be enjoyed on simplistic arcades, Nintendo will have to install more powerful graphics core into the 3DS and also encourage game developers to create more visually attractive titles.
Nintendo will reveal more details about Nintendo 3DS at the E3 show that takes place in Los Angeles, California starting from the 15th of June, 2010.
It is rather surprising that Nintendo unveiled plans to launch its 3DS now, not on the event itself or at the Game Developers Conference earlier this month. Another rather surprising move is to announce the world's first portable game console with stereo 3D support in a very laconic manner on a web-site for investors of Nintendo.

James Dale
Feb. 23, 1938-March 5, 2013
LYND – Services for James H. Dale, 75, of rural Lynd will be 10:30 a.m. Saturday at the Living Word Lutheran Church. Visitation will be from 4-8 p.m., with a 7 p.m. prayer service, Friday at the Hamilton Funeral Home. Visitation will continue at the church on Saturday, one hour prior to the service.
He died Tuesday, March 5, 2013, at his residence.
James Helmer was born Feb. 23, 1938, in Fairfax to Helmer Nordahl and Ella Marie (Nordstrom) Dale. He and his family moved to Lynd in 1944. He graduated from Lynd Public School in 1956. Following his graduation, Jim moved to Concord, Calif., and worked in the orchards. Jim loved California but he loved Lillian more so he returned to Minnesota.
On Aug. 31, 1957, Jim was united in marriage to Lillian Louise Serreyn at First Lutheran Church in Marshall. The couple bought a cute little house in Marshall and their one son Michael was born in Marshall. Jim was employed at Cattoor Oil as a bulk delivery truck driver and got to know almost all of the farmers and more. After a few years, Jim was able to find a farm near Lynd and began doing what he loved the most, FARMING.
Jim served on the Lynd Township Board for 19 years and township assessor, enjoying every minute of serving his community. He also served on the Building and Grounds Committee at W&I Resort in Mission, Texas, where Jim and Lillian spent the winter months for 20 years from 1980 to 2000. Jim retired in 1999.
Jim was a faithful member of the Living Word Lutheran Church and served on the Building Committee.
Jim loved his family, his farm, his dogs, his Living Word family and life. His hobbies included woodcarving, reading, hunting, walking, camping, checking out the neighborhood on his scooter and collecting antique tractors.
Jim is survived by his wife, Lillian, of Lynd; son, Michael (and Betty), of Lynd; two granddaughters, Jessica Amundson and Jenna Dale of Edgerton; and four great-grandchildren, Carter, Christopher, Camden and Payten.
He was preceded in death by his parents and a sister, Ardys Shourds.
Blessed be the Memory of Jim Dale.

Mmm... yes, you can. Just a scientific fact.
It is also a fact that there are essentials protein in meat that you can´t get from other sources!
Yes that is technically true, but...you CAN get those things elsewhere now besides meat, AND, more importantly if you are choosing to get them from meat, then (depending on how much you eat) you are more than likely doing more damage to your system (and the planet- especially red meat here) than any good your getting getting those things firsthand. There are vitamins, supplements, and foods & drink that are fortified with precisely the things you only get from meat, so it's quite easy to make it up elsewhere, and much healthier for folks & the planet. The main issues involve iron, calcium, vitamin D- all of which can easily be addressed via diet, and then the single issue that is legit is vitamin B12, but with things like fortified grains, cereals & breads, rice milk, soy milk, and vitamins this is not an issue of much real concern.

All eyes are on the Souris
The spring of 2013 is beginning to make some residents along the Souris River a bit nervous.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced Tuesday that it would increase the amount of water flowing from Lake Darling Dam to 2,300 cubic feet per second, a dramatic increase from the 800 cfs being released just days earlier. The reason, according to the Corps, is to match the Lake Darling releases to the combined amount of water being released from Rafferty Reservoir and Alameda Reservoir. The results downstream will be varied. Officials worry about potential ice jams backing up water in some areas, and the river is expected to rise by as much as two feet through Minot.
The latest releases, of course, aren't cause for major concern at this point, given that the Souris River sits at a low level right now and can easily handle the additional flows coming downstream. One could argue that the Corps is matching Lake Darling releases to the Canadian dam releases earlier than before, and that is a good thing. Of course, the trouble with all flood control issues is that information changes on a daily basis, as evidenced by new surveys conducted this past weekend showing the amount of snow moisture on the ground in the Souris and Moose Mountain Creek drainages doubling in March.
No one is saying 2013 will turn out like 2011. Moving water through the system in early spring is generally a good thing, especially when information shows there will be adequate water to keep?Lake Darling at normal summer levels. Still, any large increase in water releases from Lake Darling understandably makes some residents of the basin nervous.
It's spring in North Dakota, and that means anyone living near the Souris River and other areas is keeping a close eye on the river itself and the information coming from the Corps and other sources.
