As the second person ever to host Saturday Night Live since first premiering in 1975, [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Paul Simon[/lastfm] returned to Studio 8H on Saturday, this time as the show's musical guest, but not without appearing in a few hilarious sketches. Paul turned on his soft-spoken, witty charm that started the show off on a high note before playing two musical sets from his new album So Beautiful, So What.
See Paul Simon banter with the best of late night's sketch comics, plus see a surprise appearance and guitar solo from the one and only [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Lindsey Buckingham[/lastfm] of [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Fleetwood Mac[/lastfm] on Saturday Night Live!
Both appearing in the recurring sketch "What Up With That," Paul Simon and Lindsey Buckingham (along with Glee's Chris Colfer) rounded out interruptive host DeAndre Cole's celebrity guests. If you've seen the skit on previous shows, you know that Lindsey is always a guest on the soul show, but is never given a chance to speak; a wrong that Paul Simon so politely tried to make right during his appearance.
But this time, the real Lindsey Buckingham appeared on the show and laid down a rockin' guitar solo before standing side by side with his impersonator, Bill Hader. Watch the skit below!

So it would be reasonable to deduce - given the generally accepted concept of the theme pub, and that that the little hilltop Sussex town of Crowborough will play host in just two weeks' time to the annual Sherlock Holmes Festival - that there would be a spot of branding inside. A collection of deerstalkers behind the bar, for example. A Hound of the Baskervilles' hot dog special on the blackboard. At the very least, a few well-thumbed Sherlock Holmes novels artfully arranged among the old farm implements without which no modern pub is complete.
And yet, while there was a theme, it had nothing at all to do with Sherlock Holmes. It involved a wide-screen TV, a barman in an Umbro shirt and a kilt, and a bunch of lunch-time drinkers whose idea of fun was to blast out an accompaniment to a football chant on a blaring hooter.
Perhaps, half an hour before kick-off for England's first World Cup match, Crowborough can be forgiven for having other things on its mind than the author who spent the last 23 years of his life in the town, who is immortalised with a plaque tacked to the side of the Waitrose supermarket, and who is about to draw around 25,000 fans from around the world to events such as the Hound of the Baskerville Dog Show and the Holmes/Watson Billiard tournament.
This is Conan Doyle country. In a neat triangle of rolling downland on the edge of the Ashdown Forest with Crowborough, Groombridge and Forest Row at its extremities, you'll find the places he loved most.
But seekers of the Sherlock Holmes experience may be initially disappointed. For example, Windlesham Manor, the home in Crowborough to which he moved in 1907 with Jean, his young second wife, a year after his first had lost a 13-year fight against tuberculosis, is now a nursing home. And while Forest Row, a mock-Tudor place that peers at the world through leaded lights, does have the Brambletye Hotel, in which Holmes stayed in The Adventure of Black Peter, it has precious little else, other than a small army of crusty old codgers.
But in Groombridge, you really do get the authentic Sherlock Holmes experience. Conan Doyle knew Groombridge Place, a remarkably intact 17th-century pink- brick moated manor-house, very well. A convinced spiritualist, he came here often for seances, and used the house in The Valley of Fear, renaming it Birlstone. He wrote: "The Manor House, with its many gables and its small, diamond-paned windows, was still much as the builder had left it in the early 17th century ... the wooden drawbridge and the beautiful broad moat, as still and luminous as quicksilver."
In a former dairy in the spectacular gardens, a shrine to Conan Doyle has been created. You can trace part of the plot of The Valley of Fear in the Drunken Garden, so named because of the eccentric topiary applied to the yew trees that dot its lawns.
The lord of the manor, one John Douglas, has been blasted with a sawn- off shotgun, and is lying dead on the study floor in a pink dressing gown. Watson takes a stroll in the garden and comes upon a curious sight. Brass plaques at appropriate points, on which passages from the novel are inscribed, guide you to his discovery. On one, you read: "I took a walk in the curious old-world garden which flanked the house ... In that deeply peaceful atmosphere one could forget or remember only as some fantastic nightmare that darkened study, with the sprawling, blood-stained figure upon the floor."
Farther on you stop to read: "Concealed from the eyes of anyone approaching from the house, there was a stone seat ... my eyes lit upon Mrs Douglas and the man Barker (wife and closest friend of the deceased) before they were aware of my presence. Her appearance gave me a shock ... she had been demure and discreet. Now all pretence of grief had passed away from her."
And there, beneath a rustic arbour, and guarded by a posh stone gnome in bowler hat and peasant smock, is the seat in question.
Conan Doyle's shrine has much of interest. There is his calling-card, his camera, his pince-nez, and gifts he gave to his staff, including two button hooks, a London police whistle, and a pencil advertising Nugget boot polish. The clock on the mantlepiece is stopped at the time of his death - 7.24am, on 7 July, 1930.
For much of his time at Crowborough, Holmes was in Conan Doyle's past. The novels for which he is remembered belonged largely to the unhappy period when, out of loyalty to the wife who lay dying in Switzerland, he did not consummate his overpowering love for Jean.
Conan Doyle came to believe implicitly in spiritualism, and there is on display here a passage from an article on the subject, in which he wrote: "I have clasped materialised hands and held long conversations with the dead voice. I have smelt the peculiar ozone-like smell of ectoplasm. I have seen the "dead" glimmer from a photographic plate which no hand but mine has touched. I have seen spirits walk round the room in fair light and join in the talk of the company."
In this room, we also learn that the powers of deduction of Sherlock Holmes's creator were not as priceless as we might have expected. Holmes was always being called in by Scotland Yard to crack an impenetrable case. But when Conan Doyle found a real murder mystery on his doorstep, the Yard spurned his help, though they did allow his chauffeur to ferry them in his limo.
Two frames of collected pictures recall the Crowborough Chicken Run Murder of 1924, in which Norman Thorne of Wesley poultry farm was accused of murdering his fiancee, Elsie Cameron. His story was that he had found her hanging from the rafters of a barn and, believing that he would be blamed, chopped up her body and buried it under the chicken run. As you would.
Conan Doyle took up his case in print, pointing out that all the evidence against him was circumstantial, but he was ignored, and Thorne was hanged.
There are less obvious echoes of another case in which Conan Doyle failed. In 1920 he became convinced that photographs taken by two girls, one 10, the other 16, purported to be of fairies, were genuine. Sherlock Holmes would have cracked the case in five minutes, concluding that the girls had performed a crude hoax by cutting illustrations from magazines and photographing themselves alongside them.
The creator of the world's greatest detective, however, fell for it, and wrote a book called The Coming of Fairies which was his investigation and vindication of their story.
The gardens of Groombridge Place look as if they were created by fairies. In 1992 the owner, Andrew de Candole, hired the surrealist garden-maker Ivan Hicks and created a 50-acre Enchanted Forest, a landscape of pools, fern valleys, mazes, grottoes and a vast Indian teepee area.
Conan Doyle would have loved visiting today. There is Dragon Wood, the Serpent's Lair and the Mystic Pool. A boat called The Enchanted Lady takes you down the canal linking the moat with the river Crom and into this fantasy world.
Conan Doyle may like to return in a fortnight, in spirit form, to Crowborough, where he will find the place alive with talk of him and his creations. Or he will if, by then, England are out of the World Cup.

Weekend Log
This morning, I got to meet Romeo, who recently returned to the kingdom. He's camera shy kuno. loljk. (His camera has a built-in mp3 player. jk again.)
It was very gloomy and the low tide I was expecting him to see didn't happen until an hour or more later.
Very short talks. We were busy shooting here and there, but honestly, there wasn't anything new or interesting to shoot today. Overcast. Flowers not as vibrant as they were last winter, and very few insects. Plus I was having a slight headache for not having eyeglasses.
Somewhere, we parted ways, had breakfast and went home.
Until next time, bai!

Talk:Information wants to be free
This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Information wants to be free article. This is not a forum for general discussion of the article's subject. |
Article policies
This article is of interest to the following WikiProjects: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Large-scale blunder here. The word the writer is looking for here is "cypherpunk". The relationship of cyberpunk to cypherpunk is something between nebulous and and nonexistent. See Wired 1.02, "Crypto Rebels," for some details. If you're going to discuss the cypherpunks, that's kind of an unavoidable reference. Tom Maddox (talk) 20:32, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
"Information wants to be free" & Free Culture[edit]
I disagree that this expression is the unofficial motto of the free content movement.
I have almost never seen a positive usage of this expression where the person saying it agrees. It is primarily used as a strawman for writers who have a problem with the internet, with filesharing, with amateur content, etc.
The page at http://www.rogerclarke.com/II/IWtbF.html is a much better reference on this expression than this wikipedia page at this point in time. Either that page should be copied in here, which would be rude and a copyright problem, or this page should refer readers there. Can anybody suggest a way to approach this?
Lucas gonze (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 16:53, 6 May 2009 (UTC).
I strongly agree with Lucas. I spend a fair bit of time hanging around with the "free culture movement" (whatever that means) and I've never heard it uttered by anyone in earnest. In my experience, IWTBF is a shibboleth of people who oppose free culture, something falsely attributed to free culture advocates as an ideological position in good standing.
Without a citation, I think that this assertion should go.
Doctorow (talk) 14:32, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
Given that 9 months have gone by without anyone showing up to defend the idea that IWTBF is the motto, official or otherwise, of anything, I'm gonna go ahead and cut the uncited assertion.
Doctorow (talk) 20:54, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
- When I came to the talk page I was going to recommend a link to articles you have done, transcripts of your speeches, et cetera that I have seen linked on Craphound (recent example) on the subject (too many prepositions?); I wasn't expecting to see you commenting here! Nifty. Arlo James Barnes 21:29, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
The Jaron Lanier quote may belong in a criticism or media references section, but the fact that he has made an unsubstantiated assertion in a book critical of the article's subject doesn't go far to proving that this is any sort of motto. If this was a citation to a place where members of the movement whose motto this purported to be were making this assertion, that'd be a better citation. If you found a PETA brochure that stated "'Killing animals is fun' is the unofficial motto of the meat-packing industry..." it'd be about as credible as Lanier's quote. Doctorow (talk) 21:07, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
- I have often read the parody "Information wants to be two dollah!" especially long ago at Slashdog.org. I'm not sure what the reference might be, other than the Vietnamese prostitute in the film "Full Metal Jacket." I don't think this parody is used to mock the "free culture" advocates, but the meaninglessness of the phrase out of context-- the whole concept of anthropomorphizing "information" (see unsigned post below) Tumacama (talk) 12:19, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
Another curious interpretation of "information wants to be free" is the notion that information could want something, anything. As if information is it's own being, in the same way that Alan Turing's thinking machines can think, AI is really just a series of instructions, a network of information like that strange AI in the sequel to Ender's Game. I heard more about the interpretation of information as a living thing from Sarah Williams, I think it may have been part of Donna Harroway's 'Cyborg Manifesto'. I know I'm not explaining it well but I'm tired, just finished my exams, it's late, I need a cigarette. I'll see if I can track down a better explanation so that we can reference it and include it in the page.
Information is the road to freedom - If you know how to be free you can make the NECESSARY effort to do it if you don't know know, no amount of effort will accomplish it. This is the link between the two concepts, and even in this case, it's not really free just accessible without barriers. If you want to spend the time to program you brain you can, if the information tends to be free or cheap. That said Creativity deserves a payoff of we become rule bound and the free market mechanism that is the best method until recently, but it has become so bogged down in lawyers (toll-troll-bridges) that you can't even reinvent something independent of the original inventor without being sued to death or bankruptcy.
- Money wants to be free, give me your wallet. 220.127.116.11 20:57, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
- It's important to emphasize (and I think the article sort of fails on this) that the meaning of the slogan is in the same sense as "nature abhors a vacuum", speaking about tendencies rather than literal wants (or even the way, ethically or morally, things 'should' be) -- the point (as Brand said explicitly) is that because it's cheaper and easier to spread information than it is to suppress it, the tendency of information is towards freedom. (Which he contrasts with 'On the one hand information wants to be expensive', the tendency of information to hold value.) --Aquillion (talk) 20:17, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
"Agenda" is correct as singular and "agendas" as plural.
"Agendum" is also correct as singular and "agenda" and "agendums" as plural.
-- Writtenonsand (talk) 16:02, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
I'm placing a 'Refimprove' banner at the top of the article per WP:V & WP:RS. I'm specifically focusing on these issues in the first paragraph:
- Some sources like Chris Heuer say they go back to Thomas Jefferson or even Abraham Lincoln.
- These claims are particular noteworthy, and it'd be nice to have references to either Heuer's claim or the quotes them selves.
- Peter Samson said "Information should be free"
- This statement has a citation, but it's source links to a different "source" for Samson's accreditation, which is actually site with a 404 error. Further more, I'm not convinced that (content-wise) Samson's statement should be included in the article in keeping with spirit of the current lede and Stewart Brand's quote.
- The term developed to "Information wants to be free", stated in 1968 by[citation needed] attaching a philosophical desire to float freely.
- There's a 'fact tag' already here, but I think it's worth nothing this claim would need etymological support, and not just a sourced quote -- Not to be pessimistic, but I think if this might be hard to do.
At it's current state, I think the above lines should be removed or severely rewritten. I'll also keep a watch on this article and it's talk page.
--FuturePrefect (talk) 22:15, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
- Is The Cathedral & the Bazaar: Musings on Linux and Open Source by an Accidental Revolutionary book by Eric S. Raymond considered WP:RS. In case it is, Page 123 contains The "Information wants to be free" myth, might be useful to start up Criticism section. AgadaUrbanit (talk) 23:50, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
- Absolutely! I'm not trying to establish myself as an authority on WP:RS; WP:RS states "Wikipedia articles should be based on reliable, published sources, making sure that all majority and significant minority views that have appeared in reliable, published sources are covered." ERS is more than entitled to have a word on "free software" :). --FuturePrefect (talk) 23:55, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
- I removed the Refimprove tag from the top of the article since AgadaUrbanit created an awesome lede and reworking of the "History" section. Thanks for the great work! --FuturePrefect (talk) 07:06, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
this entry is wrong[edit]
I think that the phrase "information wants to be free" was coined by Fred Dretske.
I studied philosophy at the University of Sheffield in the early 1980's and this was a favourite quote of mine from Dretske though I cannot now find the source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 22.214.171.124 (talk) 21:14, 30 November 2014 (UTC)

02-14-2011, 06:06 PMIn 1721, Montesquieu wrote of the coffeehouse scene in France: Were I the King, I would close the cafes, for the people who frequent those places heat their brains in a very tiresome manner. I would rather see them get drunk in taverns. Then, at least, they would harm only themselves, while the intoxication which coffee arouses in them causes them to endanger the countrys future.
Montesquieu is the original proponent of the three branch form of government, which we use today. He also promoted the idea, still in use, of tipping the table toward the legislative branch. Obama tries to re-tilt the table through the use of Czars who answer only to him - the executive branch.

02-14-2011, 07:27 PMQuit giving away free refills and start charging for them and the places will probably stop complaining.
I quit going to Panera Bread because I got tired of seeing 1 person take up a table for 4 with their crap spread out all over the table.
Because of that we found a nice little coffee and bagel place owned by 2 sisters squeezed in between a pharmacy and a pizza place.
No free wireless, no free refills and always busy but with enough turnover to keep them and the customers happy.

A judge at the Old Bailey called for tighter restrictions on the sale of guns as he sentenced Richard Humphrey to four life terms at the close of a case which has provided further ammunition for the anti-gun lobby.
Sir Lawrence Verney, the Recorder of London, called the ease with which Humphrey bought the weapons from Gun Mart "deplorable". He called for "those that have to make decisions" to take note of how Humphrey executed a mother and tried to kill three other strangers.
His comments follow the furore over the refusal of Tory MPs on a House of Commons committee to recommend the banning of handguns in the wake to the Dunblane massacre. The Government has distanced itself from the MPs' report, fuelling speculation that it is preparing to outlaw pistols.
Humphrey obtained his weapons by pretending to be a dealer and advertising pistols in Gun Mart. He persuaded a man who replied to the advert to send him his gun certificate by post as proof that he was legally entitled to own a firearm. He then used a copy of the certificate to assume the enthusiast's identity and buy two semi-automatic pistols, a .357 calibre Magnum and a .22 pistol, advertised in the magazine.
Humphrey mailed the gun dealer the stolen certificate and pounds 230 in postal orders. In return he was sent the firearms and ammunition by courier.
The dealer became suspicious and tipped off the police, but when they arrived at Humphrey's address in Herne Hill, south London, he had gone. Police have since put their own advertisement in the magazine, warning dealers and enthusiasts to be on the alert.
Joanna Korner QC, for the prosecution, told the jury: "This case has provided the clearest possible demonstration of the ease with which it is possible for criminals to acquire firearms certificates and, indeed, firearms."
Victoria Odususi, 36, wife of a Nigerian airline official, was shot by Humphrey as she returned from church. She was found by her brother, dying near her home in Stockwell, south London.
"It was a wanton and cruel killing, causing immense grief to a number of people," said the judge. He added it was fortunate that Humphrey was not facing a second murder charge after shooting down Wing Commander Peter Drissell in May last year. Humphrey and another man, Paul Ammah, had tried to mug the wing commander as he returned to his Clapham home from the Ministry of Defence. The RAF officer "miraculously survived" a hail of at least five bullets, four of which remain in his body.
Humphrey also tried to kill a passer-by, Carol Bell, who witnessed the mugging and threatened to call the police. She escaped injury. During a row with a man on the London Underground, Humphrey fired at a man's head. But Michael Perry, 23, put up his hand and the shot went into his forearm.
Humphrey earlier fired on another man whom he mugged in Stockwell. He was also convicted of two robberies and firearms offences and was jailed for nine years on these, to run concurrently. He denied all charges.
Humphrey called the jury of seven men and five women "senseless, racist bastards" after they convicted him.
Both John Prescott, deputy Labour leader, and the Police Federation said the case was a further illustration of the need for action against handguns.

so i took my wife to the dealer to pick up her windstar (new transmision installed) and while i was there i went over to my buddy and we hooked up the mustang to the wds and datalogged it long and short term fuel trims. the car is right on he was very impressed. so they did it CAI extra HP and NO TUNE REQUIRED, but we all now that as soon as i leave AFE on tuesday i will be stopping by shawn to have my tune retweeked!
I can't read any of those numbers on the graphs. Really is a good idea to go ahead and post the numbers in the body of the message. Anyone help me out? Stock numbers vs CAI numbers? Thanks.
ok here is the dyno it was 10 am tuesday about 85 outside. i sntalled the tune but it was pinging so i removed it i am having it retuned on tuesday.
i installed the tune and we did a pass. the torque came on real fast and peaked around 203 but it was pinging so i didnt post it. the thing breathes so good!, with the tune it was just too much and it was pinging like crap so i removed it. i had had the tune done about a week befor the guys at AFE offerd me the prototype. and we removed the tune for the test. i was looking forward to installing the tune but ill have to wait till tuesday. i said it before if i had installed this kit before i got the tuner i may not have bought the tuner. the CAI works that good!
ok so here is the lates. just talked to the guy at AFE he said that the kit will not come with the cover like mine just a rubber gasket like the others to save money. MSRP will be about 199.99 but we should be able to find it cheeper on line. also they will be coming out with a stage 1 unit with the tube in the future and it will have the cover. so ill try to get more info as it comes. Tom
So for those who want to retune, is it better to go with this model and like a SCT2, or is this model better one it's own. (ie: would be better to go with another brand of CAI for a complimentary retune to go wit it) K&N CAI & SCT2 vs. AFE CAI & SCT2
so here are the airflow numbers. this thing moves the air! tune or no tune i think this one is pretty good. in my opinion

50 bani 1910, 1911, 1912, 1914 |
18 mm diameter, 2.5 g, silver 83.5%, copper 16.5%, grained edge denomination "50 BANI", ROMANIA, year 1911, crown and olive branches | inscription "CAROL·I·REGE· ·AL·ROMANIEI" meaning "KING OF ROMANIA" and CAROL I head facing left. Under the neck lies TASSET, the engraver's name. |
Year | Mint | Number of teeth on the edge | Mintage |
1910 | Brussels Hamburg | 101 120 | 3.600.000 |
1911 | Hamburg Brussels | 120 101? | 1.600.000 1.400.000 |
1912 | Brussels | 101 | 1.800.000 |
1914 | Brussels Hamburg | 101 120 | 1.600.000 |
The pictures of 50 bani 1911 and 1914 coins above are present on Romanian coins through the kind permission of an anonymous donor.
The coins struck at Brussels have the teeth on the edge with straight corners. The coins struck at Hamburg have teeth with round corners. The identification of the mint can be also done by counting the number of teeth on the edge of the coins. There are 120 teeth on the edge of the Hamburg 50 bani coins and 101 on the edge of the Brussels 50 bani coins.
Mr Cristian Ciuplea informed us that 50 bani coins were struck in 1911 at Brussels too, namely 1.400.000 pieces. In 1911 were struck at Hamburg 1.600.000 coins. Mr Ciuplea also published this information in German Münzen Revue in 2000. The situation is the same for 1 leu 1911: a batch of 300.000 coins were struck in 1911 at Brussels.
These coins were mainly struck with silver from older used coins that were melted (especially coins of 5 lei, 5 millions of such coins having been melted; total face value of coins thus melted: 28.280.000 lei - information provided by Mr. J. M.).
The picture of 50 bani 1910 coin above appear on the site thanks to the kind permission of Mr Cristian Ciuplea.
In spite of the fact that Romania was never a member of the Latin Monetary Union, it used the Union's coin types. So, Romania is among the European countries that a long time ago fought for a common currency on the continent and subsequently the leu must be accounted among the precursors of euro.
The Latin Monetary Union did not only mean common values for the coin series, (almost) common exchange rates, alike diameters, titles and weights for the entire coinage of its members or of the countries that used its coin types. It often meant common themes for the mintage products, as proven by the pictures of the Romanian 50 bani coin struck in 1914 and of the French 1 franc from 1915 placed side by side below for comparison. There was also a 50 centimes coin (1/2 franc in fact), with the same design.

Cannondale Midweight Tights
By Peter
from Seattle, WA
I'm a big guy so I bought the 2XL size figuring they would fit comfortably. As it turns out, the waist, seat, and thighs fit pretty well but the calves are very tight and almost uncomfortable. Because they are so tight the fabric tends to bunch up behind my knee.

Awards cover communications, intelligence, IT and networking systems
Under four newly awarded task orders, QinetiQ North America will continue to provide the Marine Corps with a broad range of life-cycle support services, including engineering, logistics, acquisition and information technology support.
The three-year task orders, which were awarded under the USMC Commercial Enterprise Omnibus support service contract, have a combined potential value of almost $80 million if all options are exercised.
The task orders will assist the Marine Corps' Communications, Intelligence and Networking Systems Product Group. It is the central agent for the research, development, acquisition and life-cycle management of communications, intelligence, surveillance and networking systems throughout the Corps, for both operating forces and the supporting establishment, QinetiQ NA said in a company announcement.
One task order calls for QinetiQ North America's Systems Engineering Group to provide acquisition, engineering, financial and logistics support to the Program Manager for Networking and Satellite Communications.
The PM NSC leads the Marine Corps' effort in the research, development, acquisition and sustainment of networking and satellite communications equipment.
The first-year value of the task order is $13.1 million.
The company will provide a similar range of support services to the PM Tactical Communications Systems, which leads the Marine Corps' effort in the research, development, acquisition and sustainment of tactical radios and equipment.
The first-year value of this task order is $5.5 million.
A third task order calls for providing the Product Group Director of CINS, the CINS Operations Manager, and the CINS Milestone Assessment and Technical Support teams with systems engineering, acquisition, financial, logistics and administrative management support.
This task order has a first-year value of $5.6 million.
Also, the company will provide systems acquisition support to the Program Manager of the Marine Corps Counter Radio Controlled Improvised Explosive Device Electronic Warfare Systems, which is responsible for the procurement, fielding and sustainment of the systems.
The fourth task order's first-year value is $3.1 million.
QinetiQ NA has been providing services to the Communications, Intelligence and Networking Systems Product Group since 2004, Mike Berigan, QinetiQ North America senior vice president of the Systems Engineering Sector, said in the statement.
QinetiQ North America Inc., of McLean, Va., ranks No. 40 on Washington Technology's 2010 Top 100 list of the largest federal contractors.

Interesting. Prior to CEOss, there were four Omnibus contracts. CEOss was created with the intent to 'break-up' the four previous 'monopolized program domains' into four functional domains. Over the years, as CEOss has has turned out, it has only shifted the 'monopolies' from supporting Program domains to supporting more Program domains. The functional domain approach has failed, and is now only a shroud for reducing or pre-selecting and narrowing competition to a favored few. Qinteq and CEOss contracts is the evidence.

Re: AST / Arsenal's HUGE wage bill / Hindsight Management
Posted by: RadioFreeArsenal
Date: 21/02/2012 22:18
There's just one problem. Mr. Wenger became manager in 1998. This policy didn't come into place util 2005 or after that really arguably. Surely since Mr. Wenger managed in Japan immediately prior to coming to Arsenal. So why wouldn't he have tried this immediately or if notm immediately then certainly after say 1999 or 2000 by which time most of the veterans were in fact gone bar let's see - Adams, Dixon, Parlour, Seaman, Bergkamp, and Keown and Winterburn were really the only pre-Wenger players still at Arsenal by the start of the 1999 season.
By 2002 Winterburn was gone as Dixon had made one apperance in the first 11 that year. Both he and Tony Admas were gone the next year. Only Bergkamp and Keown were in the Invincibles squad in 2004
Surely this new wage structure which he would have to have been aware of back to before taking at Arsenal in the fall on 96 could have been implemented much mouch sooner than it was, no?
So why wasn't it then? Indeed we offered the highest wages the Club ever offered to its top players in 2002 to Campbell and Thierry Henry both in Excess of 100K a week.
See this is why we need to know more and ask more of the Board. Not because this is 100% wrong - it could actually be right. But because common knowledge, basic questions ,and factual evidence suggest otherwise and strongly so in many instances. Certainly that is the case here. WEspecially given that again the Board made 300 MILLION pouinds for THEMSLVES form whatever [policies you want to think were instituted and that alone should concern us about whether those policies were really for the good of Arsenal after all.

The Egyptian justice system continues to suffer from the absence of basic due process, and we continue to see example after example of cases wherein defendants receive no protection from unfair trial proceedings. First, a look at the cases, and then, why it matters to INTERPOL:
Last month, Human Rights Watch issued a report condemning the judicial proceedings in Egypt wherein the court sentenced multiple defendants to death after their trial:
The March 22, 2014, trial, in which the vast majority of defendants were tried in absentia, took place in under an hour. The prosecution did not put forward evidence implicating any individual defendant, even though it had compiled significant evidence during its investigations, and the court prevented defense lawyers from presenting their case or calling witnesses, three of the defense lawyers told Human Rights Watch. A second summary session was held two days later solely to announce the verdict...
It's shocking even amid Egypt's deep political repression that a court has sentenced 529 people to death without giving them any meaningful opportunity to defend themselves," - Sarah Leah Whitson, Middle East director of Human Rights Watch.
It's shocking even amid Egypt's deep political repression that a court has sentenced 529 people to death without giving them any meaningful opportunity to defend themselves,"
- Sarah Leah Whitson, Middle East director of Human Rights Watch.
This month, David Kirkpatrick of the New York Times reports that three journalists currently on trial (for conspiring to broadcast false reports about civil strife in Egypt) were witnesses to the prosecutors' absolute lack of evidence in their cases. The article, here, describes how prosecutors presented the court with video, previously represented as the basis for the charges, when in fact the video showed "family photographs, trotting horses and Somali refugees in Kenya."
In another article describing the trial, Dan Bloom and David Williams write for the Daily Mail that the judge dismissed the evidence as being irrelevant, but still refused to grant bond to the defendants. The five defendants who were present for trial appeared in cages and openly argued along with their attorneys against the seemingly ridiculous evidence that was presented against them.
Amnesty International criticized the trial as "vindictive persecution of journalists for merely doing their jobs."
It's difficult to imagine more compelling grounds for dismissing Egypt's current judiciary as completely out of compliance with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, as well as its own domestic laws. As an INTERPOL member country, Egypt is bound to comply with both of those standards, as well as with INTERPOL's governing rules.
In the face of such abuse of due process and basic standards of fairness, INTERPOL is bound to divorce itself from any of Egypt's requests for assistance in apprehending fugitives until the country presents clear and consistent evidence that it is materially reforming its justice system. Otherwise, INTERPOL risks losing any credibility as a protector of individual rights, and also renders meaningless its previous assurances that it requires member countries to comply with both domestic and applicable international law.

Five Question Friday! 4/22/11
It's Good Friday...a day that always makes me emotional. And, always reminds me of when my Belle piped up, "If Jesus died today, why do they call it 'Good Friday'? Shouldn't it be 'Bad Friday'?"
Love the innocence of children!
Anyway...I'm tappin' this out late on Thursday, just got home from work, and need to get some shut eye, so let's get down to business!
Rules for Five Question Friday: Copy and paste the following questions to your blog post, answer them, then watch for my linky post to appear tomorrow and LINK UP! Oh, yeah...and most importantly, have fun!!
Questions for Friday, April 22nd: (Special thanks to @TylerH2102, @jengacek, Pam,Rachel, and Sandy for their question suggestions! I'd LOVE to link YOU in a future 5QF, just c'mon over to my community and offer up your best question suggestions! It's getting a little sparse over there, so I'd LOVE some more questions to choose from! Also, watch for my weekly Thursday shout out for questions on Twitter [@5crookedhalos]!!)
1. What is your favorite Easter tradition?
2. Are you a "shower" or a "long, hot bath" kind of person?
3. Can you parallel park and if so when is the last time you did it?
4. What is your favorite Easter candy?
5. Easter: do you go all out with the Easter Bunny or focus on the religious part of the holiday?
1. What is your favorite Easter tradition?
Mmmmmm...soft boiled eggs and carmel rolls and orange rolls and sausage!! My Gram's tradition, and it is SO good!
But, I also LOVE Easter mass. So happy and joyful and springy and fresh after the heavy dark Holy Days preceding it.
I think Easter mass is my favorite...although, it's a toss up between Easter and Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve!
2. Are you a "shower" or a "long, hot bath" kind of person?
Well, if we had a comfortable tub in our house, I would say "long, hot bath". My big brother used to tease me, because whenever we were at my parents and everyone else got in the hot tub, I would go crawl into their jacuzzi tub and soak. All. By. Myself.
Plus, I just can't stand hot tubs. Too hot, too humid, too chemically...and I always feel like a need a bath (or shower) after being in a hot tub. So, let's cut out the middle man and just go straight for the tub!
As it stands, in our "crappy tubbed" house, showers reign. In our crappy showers. Seriously...you should see our showers. They are like what you see at campgrounds. Honestly, who would've put these in a house to begin with?!
Bathrooms: First up on our way to remodeling this old house!
3. Can you parallel park and if so when is the last time you did it?
I nailed in on my driver's test...then haven't done it since. I can't remember what I'm supposed to watch for in the mirrors and when to turn and when to straighten and I just can't ever do it without hitting the curb and parking all kiddywhompus.
So, I just drive around and around until someone leaves an open spot that I can easily pull into. Less stress that way!
4. What is your favorite Easter candy?
Well, this year, it happens to be Sixlets. But most years, it's those yummy SweetTart Chicks and Bunnies. Oh my heavens, those are the best!
Oh, and SweetTart Jelly Beans are fabulous too! And those Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs? *swoon*
Ugh...I've gotta stop! I'm getting hungry and thinking about tearing into the treats I bought!!
5. Easter: do you go all out with the Easter Bunny or focus on the religious part of the holiday?
You know...I'm happy to say that we do focus on the religious part of this holiday. The Easter Bunny comes, and the kids love it, but we don't make a HUGE deal out of the good ol' EB.
It's more about going to church and celebrating with family...hmmmm, know what? I'm really proud that I can say that!!
Okay, this Mama is totally tuckered out...but, l'm looking forward to reading what YOU have to say! Have a fabulous Easter and a wonderful weekend!

I had forgotten about the sweet tart bunnies and eggs. My Walmart or Target for that matter, haven't carried them in several years. I used to look forward to Easter when I would buy several bags and eat them soo slowly in hopes they would last long past the holiday.
Sigh. I wish I could go find some this weekend.Funny little child you got. :) Yeah, its Good Friday because it is the highest peak of the Passion of our Lord before he died in the cross. Happy Easter in advance to your lovely family btw. Hope you can visit my page at: My Five Questions Friday
I love comments! And, I welcome your thoughts that aren't in agreement with mine...as long as they are respectful!

Hi there,
Using Enfold 2.3.1, WP 3.6.
I wish i could have the same animation on logo size (when scrolling up) as in the demo.
How to ?
Thanks a lot and congratulations
October 5, 2013 at 10:07 pm #170873Hey Fabienml!
You can choose to display one of fixed header types in Enfold theme options > Header > Header Type
YigitOctober 6, 2013 at 9:05 pm #171298Hi Yigit,
Thanks for your answer.
This trick does animate the container but not the logo.
am i missing somthing ?
Thanks a lot.
October 6, 2013 at 9:10 pm #171303Hey!
Please go to Enfold theme options > Header and choose "Small fixed Header" as Header Type http://i.imgur.com/U4Z1ApL.jpg
Your current header type is Small non-fixed headerBest regards,
YigitOctober 7, 2013 at 12:28 am #171369Hi,
I tried them all :)
But see (i changed the header to small-fixed), my logo isn't scaling up like the enfold one when scrolling up.
Best regards,
October 7, 2013 at 12:47 am #171373Hey!
I checked your website on Chrome, Firefox and IE on Win7 and your logo scales up and down on scrolls http://www.screenr.com/vIFH
YigitOctober 7, 2013 at 12:56 am #171377Really ?
I must be missing something… Just did the test on safari, chrome and firefox. I'm on Mac.
It did scale up on safari, but once i scrolled down, the effect isn't showing anymore.
October 7, 2013 at 1:50 am #171388Hello!
Yes, if you have not already, please check the screencast in my previous post. I recorded it while trying with all three browsers.
Can you post a screenshot?Cheers!
YigitOctober 7, 2013 at 2:08 am #171394Hi !
There is a misunderstanding :)
When you are already to the top on enfold theme and scrolling up more, the logo is over-scaling, like a zoom effect.
This is what i'm trying to reach.
I showed you an exemple with Kriesi.at and mine. Mine is stuck to the top as yours is scalling up when scrolling over the top position of the page.
Thanks man, this is an awesome support.
October 7, 2013 at 1:15 pm #171587Hello!
I have seen hundreds of Enfold, but there is no such effect http://www.screenr.com/QMLH :)
YigitOctober 7, 2013 at 2:02 pm #171601Hi Yigit,
All right :) I'll give up the idea !
Thanks a lot for the time you spent on it.

behaviour emotional and social development
Published: Last Edited:
This essay has been submitted by a student. This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers.
Every child has a fundamental right to education, and must be given the opportunity to achieve and maintain an acceptable level of learning (UNESCO, 1994, viii-ix)
Inclusion is the key educational concept of ensuring equal opportunities for all children irrespective of their attainment, ethnicity, age, gender or background, for whom teachers, working in close partnership with parents, specialists and outside agencies, must plan carefully in order to meet the learner's diverse needs.
In the following I will explore the concept of inclusion with relation to how children develop, my experience and growing knowledge of how to make personalised provision for those I teach in order to promote equality and inclusion, and conclude with a brief reflection on the perceived successes and failures of inclusion in our schools today.
To fully understand the origins of 'inclusion' within mainstream education, it is important to ascertain that historically, the needs of children with perceived special educational needs (SEN) were met in specialist institutions, until their integration into mainstream education resulted, initially in the UK, following the publication of the Warnock Report (DES, 1978) on education for children with SEN. SEN being a term which has since, according to the 2001 Department for Education and Skills (DfES) Code of Practice in England, covered any child who 'has a learning difficulty which calls for educational provision to be made for him' (p6) and further more, the learning difficulty should be 'significantly greater than the majority of children of the same age' (Ibid p6)). Since the, mainstream schools have had a legal obligation to educate these pupils and subsequently all Local Authorities(LAs) are bound by the 1994 Special Educational Needs Code of Practice to ensure that SEN children have their needs met within mainstream education whilst also ensuring the efficient education of others.
It is estimated that currently around 20% of all children in schools in the UK have SEN.
A wide range of needs in children falling into this category and include:-
Communication and interaction (Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD)), listening difficulties and speech and language difficulties)
Behaviour, emotional and social development (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and attention-seeking behaviours)
Cognition and learning (dyslexia and dyspraxia)
Sensory and physical (visual and hearing impairments, epilepsy, cerebral palsy and asthma)
However, since the 1990s, schools have been challenged to integrate further these children by not just absorbing them into the system, but by breaking down barriers to access and learning, where teachers now are required to differentiate and adapt their teaching with the purpose of meeting the needs of all their learners through careful planning for inclusion; making changes to the curriculum, assessment, pedagogy and groupings of pupils in order to meet an inclusive criteria. In a addition, through links forged between Removing Barriers to Achievement' (DfES 2004a) special education and the Every Child Matters agenda, multiple agencies now work together for the good of the learner.
Furthermore, inclusion has now been broadened to encompass all marginalised groups with additional learning needs such as those displayed by children for example, with English as an Additional Language (EAL), Gifted and Talented (G&T), children with behavioural and/or emotional issues, Travellers and Newly Arrived children, looked after children and under-achieving boys, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds. (Q18, Q19)
Within mainstream education I have observed children with mild learning difficulties access the curriculum with some additional help and differentiated learning which is usually teacher led, whilst children who are assessed as not responding to differentiation and not making adequate progress, are awarded School Action status and their specialist education is recorded via an Individual Education Plan. These children subsequently gain access to the curriculum via differentiation and sometimes specialist intervention programmes (for example, Wave 3), with support from the class teacher and usually specialist equipment and/or teaching assistant tuition. A further small proportion of children who are identified as having severe and specific learning difficulties are given School Action Plus status where the school will ask for outside specialist help from the Local Authority's (LA) support service or from health or social work professionals. However, if a child is not responding to either of the former, the child may have a multi-disciplinary assessment made which may result in a 'Statement of Educational Needs'. (Q18, Q19, Q22)
The importance of the school working in partnership with parents at all times is of utmost importance as is the participation of the pupil in any decision processes which enables them succeed and to exercise choices in relation to their own education. It should be stated at this point that each LA takes its own line on the strategic decisions regarding the amount and role of any specialist provision it provides and many parents, and notably those in Nottingham City, who would prefer their children's educational needs to be met in a specialist school often face an uphill battle. Inclusive Schooling; Children with Special Educational Needs (2001) states that The Special Educational Needs and Disability Act (2001) 'clearly signals that where parents want a mainstream education for their child everything possible should be done to provide it. Equally where parents want a special school place their wishes should be listened to and taken into account.'(p3:4)
There are no children currently 'statemented' at Berridge Juniors, however the school SENCO working alongside the parents is applying for statementation of a child who has Bartter's Syndrome; epilepsy; profoundly deafness; digestive and growth problems and severe learning delay. Over 1/3 of the school however have been issued with an IEP (well above National Average).
The National Curriculum Inclusion Statement (DfSE 1999, p30) sets out three principles which are essential to developing a more inclusive curriculum and relate to good classroom practice:-
setting suitable learning challenges
responding to pupils' diverse learning needs
over-coming potential barriers to learning and assessment for individuals and groups of pupils
Through inclusive teaching, I have taken into consideration learning objectives and at times differentiated these using the Primary National Strategies frameworks to inform my planning and address these objectives through differentiated questioning and demonstration
during whole-class teaching, and through work planned for both individuals and groups.
Berridge Junior School, Numeracy and Literacy are targeted, allowing learning objectives to remain reasonably consistent within each group. However, within these groups in order to match individual's needs, I have used a variety of teaching approaches and styles, for example, visual, auditory and kinaesthetic learning, open and closed tasks, short and long tasks, ICT, Clicker 5 and Widget, multi-cultural references and using coloured backgrounds for dyslexic comprehension. I have made myself familiar with IEPs to formulate my planning and with 'Quality First Teaching', incorporating inclusive classroom strategies such as 'timed targets' and giving pupils more time to complete work, wherever possible. (Q18, Q19, Q22)
I have planned for utilisation of specialist TA help, respecting their depth of knowledge at all times whilst ensuring the TA has the support of the three inclusion principles and through AfL, have planned for personalised learning targets for future lessons. In addition to CPD research regarding specific areas of barriers to learning for some of the children I teach, I have called on the school's specialist SENCO, EMAG, PHSE and Behaviour Co-ordinators for advice on particular issues. I have also asked for advice from subject co-ordinators in relation to differentiation. (Q18, Q19, Q20)
Through being aware of, and taking time to find out about the range of developmental, social, religious, ethnic, cultural and linguistic influences which affect both positively and negatively on how children develop and progress, I have used my understanding of the effects these factors can have on a child's well-being, to recognise when they present themselves as barriers to learning, and use learned strategies to overcome them. With a knowledge of and implementing the whole-school ethos, policies, procedures and approaches and using evidence gained through communicating with the pupil and their parents/carers, I can to plan accurately for inclusion through differentiation. I am always diligent regarding the impact social factors may have on the children's learning, health, economic well-being and safety. I have brought to the attention of the Safe Guarding co-ordinator an issue I thought was of importance and I have set reward targets for children to arrive at school on time and go to bed at a good time! (Q18, Q19, Q20, Q22)
As a trainee teacher it is essential to be aware of my responsibilities arising from current legislation covering SEN and disability but above all, I must ensure that all children have a positive experience of school based on how they are helped with their learning, and how they achieve and participate fully in school life. (Q18, Q19, Q20, Q22)
However, life is never quite that simple and the inclusion debate rages on within and without the school walls. Since the now well documented controversial u-turn by Baroness Warnock in 2005 after the closure of hundreds of specialist schools, claiming that inclusion and statements policies are not working and we are left with "a disastrous legacy" and adding, "Governments must come to recognise that, even if inclusion is an ideal for society in general, it may not always be an ideal for schools," begs me to question the success of inclusion. Although I applaud and completely uphold the gallant attempt to fight for the right of every child, no matter what their circumstances to reach their full potential in school, make a successful transition to adulthood and the world of further and higher education, training or work, I cannot help but wonder if inclusion is realistically viable. Many parents of SEN children feel their children's needs are not being met. Richard Reiser, the director of Disability Equality in Education, claims, 'you need more resources, more training and a mandatory code of admissions.' (Independent on Sunday, 23 March 2006). Many teachers feel ill equipped and inadequately trained to truly meet the inclusive criteria and many SEN pupils themselves feel isolated and inadequate when placed in a mainstream environment.
Without huge investment, I can only see that 'inclusion' will simply become another word for mediocre. Are any individual's needs truly met (including mainstream)? Only time immersed in inclusion will answer this question for me.

A lawyer for Dominique Strauss-Kahn says the former IMF chief wants to be questioned by police so that he can debunk claims he was linked to a suspected hotel prostitution ring.
Frédérique Beaulieu said yesterday his client wanted "to put an end to these insinuations and extrapolations". He said Mr Strauss-Kahn had not yet been contacted by police.
Prosecutors in Lille are investigating a suspected prostitution ring in France and Belgium. The head of the luxury Hotel Carlton in Lille was among those detained. The weekly Journal du Dimanche said Mr Strauss-Kahn's name surfaced in the investigation as a possible client.
Mr Strauss-Kahn was accused of sexual assault in New York earlier this year. The charges were dropped, but his accuser, hotel maid Nafissatou Diallo, is pursuing a civil case. AP

MOST ENTERTAINING COUPLE STUART AND MARIAN, ALL MY CHILDREN As we all know too well, this has not been a stellar year for soap romances. In such bleak times, the quirky love affair of Stuart and Marian on AMC has been a heartening bright spot. This dynamic duo has all the makings of a successful soap pairing: true love, raging libidos and a major obstacle (Stuart's crafty twin, Adam). These two are not merely in love, they are lovable (not to mention side-splittingly funny). The idea of pairing worldly Marian with unassuming Stuart seemed loopy, but it works. She brings out the appealing masculine charm in Stuart, while he arouses Marian's little-seen vulnerable side. It's a beautifully complementary relationship in which sweet Stuart teaches Marian about the simple things in life, and she uses her playfulness and creativity (the mermaid bit was a hoot) to keep things spicy. The delightful Jennifer Bassey and David Canary have comedic prowess and a chemistry that makes this engaging romp a treat to watch. Kudos to AMC for giving new life to two long-time Pine Valley denizens...and giving all of us a reason to smile. |

A Little Bit of Entrepreneurship
One thing I regret for a fleeting moment every now and then (don't worry, I get over it quickly) is that Little Bit hasn't had a really great preschool experience. She went to daycare when she was 2 and 3 so she does know what it's like to be herded like cattle part of a classroom of children. But she didn't like it.
Here she is scanning my purchases. We go through the self check-out line at Kroger enough that she knows how to look for the bar code.
It's just that I know some GREAT preschool teachers and I would love for her to get to experience their classrooms. My friend Mischelle used to change out one center all the time. One week it was a McDonald's, the next week it was a "bakery" full of play dough and cookie cutters. I've also seen some great preschool classrooms online. This is one of my favorite sites and I also love looking at the things she does with her students.
Little Bit is way ahead of me as this week she has been making her own fun. I'm very proud of how she's been playing lately. She used to be so dependent on one of us to pay constant attention to her and now she is learning to play by herself for a while. She spends hours taking care of her baby dolls lately, pushing them around the house in their stroller, building a car out of the piano bench, child-sized couch, and a chair so they can go places....she's really using her imagination!
So her latest thing is stores. I mentioned in this post that the newly arranged closet inspired her to open a shoe store. A few days later, while I was busy on schoolwork with Sweetheart, she set up a "water store." She did all of it on her own, which impressed me SO much. She flipped over a plastic tub, filled up 10 or so little Dixie cups from the bathroom sink, grabbed a baggie of cookies from the pantry, paper towels, her cash register...and she was open for business. Grandma happened to come down just then and with Sweetheart and me for customers also, and Daddy when he got home, her store was a big success.
The next day she set up a bookstore. Look! She sounded out "bookstore" and made this sign without even asking how to spell it. She got the first and last sound right and I'm so glad she thought she could do it!
Here's the whole set up.
She has quite a selection.Here she is scanning my purchases. We go through the self check-out line at Kroger enough that she knows how to look for the bar code.
This takes great concentration.
At one point, it occurred to her she needed sacks to sack up our purchases, so she got her sister to grab one for her.
She's a great store-owner.

By Pamela Geller, April 8, 2016:
Read the letter the quisling principal sent to parents, justifying his invitation to have a terror-tied CAIR speaker address the children at his Catholic school.
Father Rosin, where is the invitation for Wafa Sultan, Ibn Warraq, Haider Elias (Yezidi leader) or any voice for the victims of jihad to speak?
April 8, 2016
Catholic School That Invited Pro-Jihad Speaker Doubles DownIn mid-March I published an article in World Net Daily about an incident at St. Petersburg Catholic High School in St. Petersburg, Florida, Last month, the entire student body was called together to hear a deceptive presentation on "Islamophobia" from the notorious Ahmed Bedier, who openly supports the jihad terror group Hizb'allah and has worked for the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). Now the principal of St. Petersburg Catholic High, Fr. Richard Rosin, is making a clumsy attempt at damage control. He sent parents this letter — and some of them sent it to me:
Dear Parents/Guardians:
You may have heard that Ms. Pam Geller of Breitbart media has written a scathing and erroneous article about St. Petersburg Catholic High School. The article attempts to address the assembly held on Thurs. Feb. 18, 2016. It is important to allay any fears that this article has created.
The principal is sloppy and intellectually lazy: my name is Pamela Geller and the piece to which he is referring didn't run in Breitbart News, but in World Net Daily. And while he claims that my article was "erroneous," you'll see that he doesn't in his entire letter give a single example of any erroneous claim I made.
A few months ago some students came forward who were concerned about the media coverage of the Islamic people. The impression that seems to be prevalent in the media is that all Muslims are terrorists. The students recognized that such an irrational, global portrayal is not in concert with our Catholic faith nor our mission to educate the whole person.
"The media coverage of the Islamic people" were news reports of jihadi attacks — and many of those attacks involved the slaughter of Christians living under Islamic rule. They were oppressed and slaughtered because they were Christians. Is this how the good Father Rosin should respond and educate his young people?
And where did these students see media reports claiming that "all Muslims are terrorists"? That's ridiculous. The media bends over backwards to make sure that Americans think that terrorism has nothing whatsoever to do with Islam, and that peaceful Muslims are victims of "backlash" after terror attacks.
Meanwhile, one of my sources at the school has informed me it was just one student who thought this deceptive assembly would be a good idea, and she reportedly pressured the administration to get it approved. In the end, however, everything that occurs at that school is the responsibility of the principal. I wonder if anyone even vetted this Fr. Rosin. Not only was it a disgrace to subject these Christian kids to this propaganda, but it could have potentially been very dangerous.
After considering the request to present an appropriate and correct view of Islam, the administration agreed to have an assembly. Upon the recommendation of a well respected member of the clergy of the Diocese of St. Petersburg, who previously had our speaker make a presentation to his parish as part of an interdenominational dialogue, we asked Mr. Bedier to speak to our students.
A correct view of Islam? From a former representative of terror-tied CAIR, an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terrorist funding trial in our nation's history? If Fr. Rosin really wanted to present an accurate view of Islam, he should have Ibn Warraq, Wafa Sutlan, Nonie Darwish, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Robert Spencer — not a former representative of a group with multiple links to Hamas, and which has been designated a terrorist group by the United Arab Emirates. Why didn't the principal invite to the school one of the Catholic priests from the Middle East whose flock has been decimated by Islamic jihadis?
Beginning with the Baron Bulletin of Feb. 5, 2016, I indicated that we would be having the assembly on Islam. The assembly was published on our calendar. As always, parents were invited to attend. In fact, I had hoped more parents would be in attendance to share this information with their child and have a meaningful discussion.
After the assembly, our teachers spent time in classes discussing the assembly. By all accounts from the teachers, the discussions were very productive.
If this is true, all the teachers are as clueless and intellectually subjugated about this foremost issue of our time as Fr. Rosin is.
Additionally, St. Petersburg Catholic High School recorded the presentation. This was done so that any parent who wished could view the presentation for discussion with his/her son/daughter. There were a few parents who requested the link to this video.
While there is some disagreement about a few comments Mr. Bedier made, I did not find anything to be inappropriate in the presentation for our students. The Superintendent of Schools for the Diocese of St. Petersburg has reviewed the presentation and found nothing inappropriate for our students.
Nothing inappropriate? As I showed in my original article on this, Bedier minimized, downplayed, and dissembled about the jihad threat. He falsely exaggerated Muslim achievements, played moral equivalence games in claiming that there were Christian terrorists as well as Muslim ones (with his one example being Tim McVeigh, who is supposed to be equivalent to the perpetrators of 28,000 jihad attacks since 9/11), and gave students an incomplete and misleading picture of the doctrinal differences between Islam and Christianity – even as Muslims are persecuting Christians to a degree unparalleled for centuries.
After the assembly it was discovered that Mr. Bedier posted a picture of our students on his Facebook page. We were not aware he would do so and in our continuing effort to protect the privacy of our students, we requested he remove it.
More dishonesty. Bedier took the picture during his presentation and said that he was going to post it to social media. So then Fr. Rosin was shocked to find it on Facebook?

Point of View
One of the aspects of writing that Faulkner liked to experiment with was point of view. Almost all of his stories are told with a unique twist on the narrator's point of view. For instance, in "That Will Be Just Fine" the tragic story of a murder is told from the first person point of view of a child. This child interprets the action going on around him in terms of the coming Christmas celebration. Faulkner, however, is able to include enough information in the story that the reader understands what is really happening. Other stories, such as "Barn Burning," are told in the third person point of view but from the child's viewpoint. In other stories, such as "Golden Land," Faulkner actually switches points of view from one character to another during the course of the tale. For instance, the beginning of this story is...
