Independence Residences, Inc. (IRI), a not-for-profit human services agency that provides residential and community support to people with developmental disabilities and other visual impairments, has affiliated with the Queens Parent Resource Center (QPRC), a provider of similar services and programs for the developmentally disabled.
Woodhaven, NY (PRWEB) January 16, 2013
Joining forces can be the best way to move forward in a changing business climate and broaden the opportunity to offer the best care for those seeking support.
Independence Residences, Inc. (IRI), a not-for-profit human services agency that provides residential and community support to people with developmental disabilities and other visual impairments, has affiliated with the Queens Parent Resource Center (QPRC), a provider of similar services and programs for the developmentally disabled.
Executive Director, James Magalee of QPRC and IRI's Executive Director, Ray DeNatale, became acquainted through their membership in the Queens Council on Developmental Disabilities.
"The opportunity to serve one of the most at-risk populations in our state is a humbling experience. We are equally obligated to balance this humility to take the steps necessary to improve our capacity if it means bringing them a better quality of service," says Magalee.
"We recognized that we have common missions and operational objectives and that by working together both organizations will benefit. QPRC has experience with supporting people who are medically frail and those that require wheelchairs, and we work with people with developmental disabilities such as Autism, Asperger's Syndrome and behavioral issues," says DeNatale.
The affiliation, 18 months in the making, has been approved by both boards, and represents the Agencies working together as a first step toward a merger.
"We will develop a management services agreement that will dictate more formally what we will provide for them and what they will provide for us. The two organizations remain legally and fiscally separate," says DeNatale.
Magalee added, "When comparing agencies, it is easy to cite areas of overlap in similar services. However, the most appealing aspect is in the distinct strengths within each organization that mesh naturally to create a synergy that will result in a stronger, more capable nucleus."
IRI has been recognized for its quality standards and is one of 20 organizations out of nearly 800 in New York, to be invited to be a COMPASS agency with the New York State Office of People With Developmental Disabilities. COMPASS recognizes and promotes agencies that have progressed beyond basic regulatory compliance and have achieved excellence in service delivery. IRI will share its service knowledge with QPRC.
QPRC brings its expertise working with the medically frail and with people requiring wheelchairs. QPRC's $7 million in revenue will broaden the fiscal base of IRI and allow us together to assist a wider range of people in need of support. "The ability to extend costs and services across both agencies will benefit both IRI and QPRC," explains DeNatale.
In 1992, when Magalee's mother, Ana, founded QPRC, she turned to IRI's board for guidance. Through this long-standing relationship, both agencies are again turning to each other for the betterment of both.
"The affiliation is beneficial to both agencies and the people served by both. It makes us a larger, stronger organization, and better prepared to succeed in the managed care environment," says DeNatale.
Independence Residences, Inc., a not-for-profit human services agency, was founded in 1984 for the purpose of serving people who have intellectual disabilities and visual or other impairments. IRI provides varied residential opportunities some of which are staffed 24 hours a day. Day opportunities include supportive employment; work at the Independence Cafe and both day habilitation programs that are site based and non-site based. In addition, we offer a wide range of family support services; many home based that include Respite, Crisis and After School programs. These programs are provided in the 5 boroughs of New York City and on Long Island.
Since 1992, Queens Parent Resource Center has been an organization focused on individuals with intellectual disabilities and their families, parents in particular. QPRC began by providing a variety of Family Support Services programs including Family Reimbursement and Outreach. The agency quickly expanded to include Service Coordination services, supporting almost 400 families. Home-based services include Community Habilitation and In-Home Respite. The residential program focuses on small, individualized settings spanning a variety of support levels. Among its day service offerings is a site dedicated to supporting the needs of wheelchair users and those who require enhanced medical attention. True to its roots, QPRC maintains a parent support group, called the Parent Federation, which meets monthly to get updates from experts and discuss topics of their choosing.

My Points | |
My Games |
I've only played this game twice so far, and both times with only one other player. If I understand the Barbarian's ability correctly, it seems that buy using his ability on your first turn, you will begin the game with an advantage. For example, if the Barbarian goes first: play a tile, force your opponent onto the tile, increase your hand size to 5 and lower his to 3. If the Barbarian goes second: your opponent plays a tile, you force him to move onto it, and even if it was a good tile, you are still gaining advantage by stealing a tile from his hand. Am I understanding his ability correctly?
To be fair, my buddy and I didn't actually use the Barbarian to see how the game would play out. Instead we banned him in 2 player matches right away. I realize that this ability will be less effective with more players, but in 2 players it seems downright dirty.
Any thoughts or clarifications are greatly appreciated!

Now that I have played several games since the above post, I no longer question the power level of the barbarian. I still think that it is a jerk move to steal your opponent's tile on the first turn, but what can I say? Some barbarians are simply jerks. :) Besides, we found that the ability didn't impact the game as much as we initially expected. So we no longer ban the barbarian from 2-player games of Drakon. We just use 1d6 to determine who gets what character when using their optional abilities.
I think he is a bit more powerful early on. but as its a quick game being able to play a few times alternating characters balances it out.
Also beating a barbarian gives you gloating rights......

Iceland is working on banning Internet pornography, calling explicit online images a threat to children.
'"There is a strong consensus building in Iceland," Halla Gunnarsdottir, an adviser to the nation's Interior Minister, told England's Daily Mail. "We have so many experts, from educationalists to the police and those who work with children behind this, that this has become much broader than party politics.
"At the moment, we are looking at the best technical ways to achieve this. But surely if we can send a man to the moon, we must be able to tackle porn on the Internet."
Such a step is somewhat surprising among Western nations that, for the most part, champion free-speech rights. But the move wouldn't be unprecedented in the island nation.
Iceland has had laws banning the printing and distribution of pornography for years, but those laws haven't been updated to include the Web. And two years ago, the nation's parliament banned strip clubs, saying they violate the rights of the women who work in them.
Iceland would become the first Western democracy to try and block pornography online.
Interior Minister Ogmundur Jonasson has appointed committees to study the best methods for keeping young people from seeing explicit images and videos on computers, game consoles and smartphones.
The options being considered, according to the Daily Mail, include blocking the IP addresses of known porn sites and making it illegal to use credit cards from Iceland to subscribe to X-rated sites.
"This move is not anti-sex. It is anti-violence because young children are seeing porn and acting it out," Gunnarsdottir said. "That is where we draw the line. This material is blurring the boundaries for young people about what is right and wrong."
Attempting a total block of porn sites somewhere like the United States, with its legions of public and private portals onto the Web and the millions of software engineers who likely would spring into action to find workarounds, would be nearly impossible.

There seems to be a lot of good documentation
for Linux users compiling PHP with DB2 support,
but decent Windows notes are minimal.
You do not need to install full DB2 clients to get DB2
working with DB2, all you need is the IBM Data
Server Driver for ODBC, CLI, and .NET which is only
16.1 meg.
You can download the driver from here:
Direct Link:
Home Page:
This includes both the drivers required and the PHP
dll php_ibm_db2_5.2.2.dll
Once installed the drivers do not setup the correct
path environmental variable,
so add the following to your path:
C:\Program Files\IBM\IBM DATA SERVER DRIVER\bin
Once thats done all should work! No massive
400meg client downloads required.
Whats even better about these drivers is that you
dont need to install them,
you can simply copy the bin directory to any server,
add it to your path and it will just work.
This is great for anyone developing PHP-GTK applications,
I copy the bin directory into my php-gkt2 directory
and execute using the following batch script:
path = %PATH%;.\IBM DATA SERVER DRIVER\bin
php-win.exe %*
This lets me role out lightweight DB2 client desktop
apps that dont have to be installed,
can just be coppied from PC to PC or ran over a
network or from USB stick.
As your only installing the client drivers you wont be
able to catalog databases,
so always use the full connection string. Here is a
quick bit of code to get you started:
$database = 'databasename';
$user = 'user';
$password = 'password';
$hostname = '127.0.0.1';
$port = 50000;
$conn_string = "DRIVER={IBM DB2 ODBC DRIVER};DATABASE=$database;" .
$conn = db2_connect($conn_string, '', '');
$query = 'SELECT * FROM TABLE';
$res = db2_prepare($conn, $query);
while ($row = db2_fetch_array($res)) {

Spent a lot of time trying to get this to work on a 64bit box. You'll need to make sure you set your db2 client to 64 bit mode! If you didn't set your instance to 64bit, you can run ./db2iupdt -w64 db2instance as root to set it. Hope this helps someone!

The DB/2 Run-Time-Client can be found here:
Select the 'Runtime Client Installable for Windows' further down the page and download it.
Clients for other platform (incl. 64-Bit Windows) are also available from that page.

If you wish to connect to an iSeries Server, such as an AS/400, there are two options. Installing DB2 Express-C v9.5 and purchasing DB2 Connect Personal Edition for about $500 or getting System I Access for Linux, which is a free download. Please note the server requirements for each of these. For example, we originally went with DB2 Express-C and decided upon Ubuntu 7.10, but learned about System I Access, from an IBM rep, which requires redhat package manager, after the entire server was up and running.

We already know Hillary Clinton's campaign has one foot in the grave. But is the Democrat's overall effort to take back the White House also moribund? Another shocker in a wild presidential election:
WASHINGTON—After a sometimes bitter primary campaign, presumptive Republican nominee John McCain now presents a stiff challenge to either of his potential Democratic opponents in the general election, a new Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg poll has found.
The findings underscore the difficulties ahead for Democrats as they hope to retake the White House during a time of war, with voters giving McCain far higher marks when it comes to experience, fighting terrorism and dealing with the situation in Iraq.
Both Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton have made ending the war a centerpiece of their campaigns. But in hypothetical matchups against either Democratic senator, about half of voters polled said McCain, a Vietnam veteran, was best able to deal with the war. Just over a third of voters polled favored the Democratic candidates on that issue.
Overall, McCain would beat Clinton 46% to 40% and Obama 44% to 42%. His lead over Obama is within the poll's three-point margin of error.
Last night, Karl Rove offered two contradictory remarks/jokes that could explain how Democratic enthusiasm is now behind the eight ball. Rove said he was certain he could get either Clinton or Obama elected, but wouldn't say how. "I only work for Democrats—and Joe Lieberman." Lieberman is, of course, a friend and supporter of McCain; Rove is too, despite an icy introduction. But at another moment in his lecture, Rove joked that he secretly was advising both Clinton and Obama, explaining why they had turned so hard against each other.
Such a scenario would certainly bare what President Bush's former chief strategist said has become known as "the mark of Rove." "If you can't explain," he said, "Rove is responsible."
Too much credence probably shouldn't be put into this hypothesis.

Last spring, Karl Rove was outed by atheist superstar Christopher Hitchens as a fellow nonbeliever.
"He doesn't shout it from the rooftops, but when asked, he answers quite honestly. I think the way he puts it is, "I'm not fortunate enough to be a person of faith."
But last night Rove told me he is in fact a religious person, though he didn't specify how his Christian roots manifest themselves in his life.
Rove was in Los Angeles to speak at the Gibson Ampitheatre, one of a number of distinguished voices in this year's Public Lecture Series by American Jewish University. His invitation had caused a bit of consternation in the Jewish community, but he quickly won over many of his skeptics, which I wrote about in an article that will be online Thursday.
"I spent part of my childhood in Utah," Rove said at a VIP dinner before the lecture. "I went to a high school that is 95 percent Mormon, and only in Utah could a Presbyterian and a Jew both be gentiles."
Regardless of his own beliefs, Rove, who left his post as chief adviser to President Bush in August, was instrumental in helping Bush monopolize the support of evangelical voters and making religious rhetoric an essential part of presidential campaigns, something we are seeing plenty of this year.
"Roosevelt used to say to his speech writer, Rosenman, Don't forget the God stuff at the end. That's a bit colloquial," Rove said, "but the point is Americans have always valued leaders of faith."
In fact, as early as 1800, in the race between Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, religious piety and divine reverence played an important role in politics.
As Jefferson and John Adams, a publicly devout Christian, slugged it out on the campaign trail, the Gazette of the United States ran this:
At the present solemn and momentous epoch, the only question to be asked by every American, laying his hand on his heart, is: âShall I continue in allegiance to
GODâAND A RELIGIOUS
Or impiously declare for
JEFFERSONâAND NO GOD!!!âJefferson was vehemently attacked for being a godless, slave-owning (-impregnating) sinner. But the underlying issue was what kind of liberties would this country afford its few voting members and everyone else who lived here. Jefferson favored greater freedoms while Adams sought to strengthen the office of the president. (A proto-Bush?)
Still, many people couldn't get over the fact that Jefferson didn't believe in God. And though he eventually won through a complicated process in the Electoral College, some members who didn't want to give their vote to an atheist said they would rather "go without a Constitution and take the risk of civil war."
Now, though, Godtalk dominates—whether it is about what kind of Christian John McCain is, why evangelicals can't stand Hillary Clinton or whether Barack Obama is a "covert Muslim." The question, and it's one Rove didn't answer, is why did religious rhetoric has become so central to running for president. So-called "moral-values issues" were just as important to voters in elections that brought Bill Clinton to the White House as those that elected and re-elected George Bush. Something else is certainly at play.

The Forward has a short profile this week of L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, whom reporter Rebecca Spence calls "something of an honorary member of the tribe."
Los Angeles is a small town, and with half a million Jews in the greater L.A. area, it's no surprise Villaraigosa has leaned heavily on many Jews along the way, whether it was high school teacher Herman Katz or his best friend on the City Council, Jack Weiss, or chief of staff Robin Kramer.
His predecessors, most notably Tom Bradley, benefited similarly. But Spence presents a man whose philo-Semitism goes a good deal further than political expedience (though he's still no Mark Paredes).
According to local Jewish leaders, the mayor himself has made a habit of attending synagogue services, beyond the public appearances L.A. mayors tend to make at High Holiday services. He has been spotted at Temple Valley Beth Shalom and at Adat Ariel, both located in the San Fernando Valley â a region that tends to skew somewhat more conservative when it comes to local politics and that, unlike the Westside, went for Villaraigosaâs predecessor, James Hahn, in 2005.
The mayor has also attended Friday Night Live, a popular Sabbath service with live music held at Sinai Temple, a 2,000-family Conservative synagogue located on the Westside. In fact, said Sinaiâs rabbi, David Wolpe, when Villaraigosa showed up this past September at his synagogue for Kol Nidre services, he sat in the back, didnât come up to the bimah and left quietly. âIn my experience, that is unprecedented,â Wolpe said. âItâs unheard of that a political figure should desire to come just to be there.â (Despite the frequent synagogue attendance, Villaraigosa, it should be noted, is a practicing Catholic.)
Villaraigosa also has made a point of attending major Jewish events, from Super Sunday to a major rally for Israel during the war with Hezbollah to the recent groundbreaking of the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust. And he's developed political relationships with some Israelis, including Sderot Mayor Eli Moyal. (I asked Villaraigosa's office for an interview last August when I wrote about life in Sderot; they got back to me in late December.)

Admired by the Jesus movement, thought of as a Bob Dylan for Christian music (when Dylan wasn't Christian), Norman's influence can't be understated. At least, that's what I've read; I'd never heard of him. Here's more from the CT Liveblog:
âHis influence outweighed his sales so much that itâs comical,â Willman said. âHe certainly had a heart for evangelism, almost to his detriment I might say. He really couldâve been a star if he were singing about something other than Jesus.â
Normanâs 1972 Only Visiting This Planet album is regarded as one of the top contemporary Christian music albums of all time. His many hits were cutting edge, said Larry Eskridge, associate director of the Institute for the Study of American Evangelicals at Wheaton College.
âThe song âWhy Should the Devil Have All the Good Music?â was one of his enduring trumpet blasts against the stogie, old Christian establishment,â Eskridge said. ââI Wish Weâd All Been Readyâ fit with the end times, apocalyptic feel that was in the air at the time.â
âI Wish Weâd All Been Readyâ was also featured in the 1972 end times film A Thief in the Night. In concerts, the singer would give his trademark "One Way" gesture, pointing an index finger toward heaven. Eskridge said Norman was an icon during the Jesus People of the 1960s but distanced himself from the movement when it became a fad and eventually faded.
Norman became less prominent on the music scene after suffering head injuries in an airplane accident 30 years ago, and later he had severe heart problems. He dictated a message to a friend just before his death.
âI feel like a prize in a box of cracker jacks with Godâs hand reaching down to pick me up,â Norman said. âI have been under medical care for months. My wounds are getting bigger. I have trouble breathing. I am ready to fly home.â

Also in the new Atlantic is a piece by Christopher Hitchens about Jews and "the 2,000-year-old panic." Pegged to the re-release of an old novel, Hitchens writes that Jews are discriminated against for the opposite reasons other minorities are.
Almost every tribe or ethnicity has a rival tribe or ethnicity that it views as inferior or dirtier or more primitive: the Hutu with the Tutsi, the Sinhalese with the Tamil, the Ulster Protestant with the Irish Catholic, and so forth. The âotherâ group will invariably be found to have a different smell, a higher birthrate, and a lazier temperament. These poor qualities are sometimes attributed even by Jews to Jews: elevated German and Austrian Jews once wrinkled their nostrils at the matted sidelocks and large families of the poor Ostjuden who had come from the backwoods of Galicia and Silesia; and Ashkenazi-SeÂphardic rivalry in Israel sometimes recalls and resembles this hostility. But garden-variety racists do not usually suspect the objects of their dislike of secretly manipulating the banks and the stock markets and of harboring a demonic plan for world domination. Gregor von Rezzori, in his newly reissued novel Memoirs of an Anti-Semite, meshes the micro and macro versions of interwar anti-Semitism very skillfully indeed:
They spent their childhood skipping among mounds of horse dung and flocks of gay sparrows, warbling Hebraic words of wisdom in Jewish schools ⦠disappearing then to the next town. They returned gangling, cheeky, precocious, and self-confident a couple of years later, unfurled little red flags, and chanted socialistic marching songs; then they went off again. The next time they came back they were unrecognizable—polished, poised, coiffed, and manicured, lugging doctorates on their proud shoulders; they dug themselves in and became dentists, high-school teachers, professors of music, and God only knows what other intellectuals, married similar solid burghers and produced streams of progeny, teaching them to speak refinedly through their noses, packing them off to the Sorbonne to get equipped the better to meddle with the course of the history of civilization.
âJealousy born of envyâ is the way that Rezzori (1914â1998) elsewhere summarizes this combination of anti-intellectualism fused with the hatred of material success and the suspicion of social and international mobility. If the Jew isnât a mutinous prole, he is a stinking bourgeois!
(Hitchens began the piece with a joke about Der Stürmer, the Nazi rag depicted above: "A sour old joke from prewar Germany has two elderly Jews sitting in a Berlin park, with one of them reading a Yiddish paper and the other one scanning the pages of Der Stürmer. The latter Jew is laughing. This proves too much for the former Jew, who says: 'Itâs not enough you read that Nazi rag, but you find it funny?' 'Look,' replies the other. 'If I read your paper, what do I see? Jews deported, Jews assaulted, Jews insulted, Jewish property confiscated. But I read Der Stürmer, and thereâs finally some good news. It seems that we Jews own and control the whole world!'")

No surprise here regarding the new language for the Tridentine Mass, which will be uttered in four Fridays. The traditionalist Society of Saint Pius X issued a statement over the weekend that it was none too happy that language regarding the conversion of Jews was watered down in the Good Friday prayer.
âFollowing foreign pressures on the Catholic Church, the pope has felt obliged to change the very venerable Prayer for the Jews, which is an integral part of the Good Friday liturgy. This prayer is one of the oldest and goes back to about the third century. It has thus been recited throughout the whole history of the Church as the full expression of Catholic faith.
The SPPX said the change, which it called an âamputation,â had âthe allure of a real transformation, expressing the new theology of relations with the Jewish people. It is part of the liturgical upheaval that is the characteristic mark of the council and the reforms that followed it. While the necessity to accept the Messiah to be saved has been retained, one can only profoundly deplore this change.â

Speaking of the Pew Forum, the religious research center's home page features a lengthy Q&A with a leader of UCLA's "Spirituality in Higher Education," which I wrote about for the fall cover of UCLA Magazine.
The study found that nearly three-of-four students who are now juniors agreed that "most people can grow spiritually without being religious." That's up 12 percent from when these students were freshmen. I think you have to realize that we have, on the one hand, the students' individual faiths and practices, and on the other hand, their viewpoints about students who might follow a different faith or no faith. To us, this is a positive finding in the sense that students display a good deal of tolerance for differing approaches to religion and spirituality on the part of their peers. In other words, they're not imposing their own standards upon their fellow beings. Does that mean that they're seeing the world in more relative terms and in less absolute terms? Yes, I would say so, and this is consistent with the finding that their tendency to embrace an ecumenical worldview also increases during college. This would seem to be bad news for many organized religions, especially the ones making truth claims. Not necessarily. We have organizations like the National Council of Churches and other worldwide religious organizations that try to think about how to enhance understanding across different religions and faiths. Looking ahead to the condition of the world down the road, one would hope that this kind of understanding and tolerance would increase with time. That, of course, may not fit certain belief systems, but I think, on balance, that it's reassuring to see that the college experience is associated with an increase in this kind of tolerance and understanding of the other.

A new survey by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life found that "constant movement characterizes the American religious marketplace": more than a quarter of Americans leave the faith they grew up with, that about 16 percent aren't affiliated with any religion and that Protestants are approaching minority status. Some explaining from The New York Times:
While the unaffiliated have been growing, Protestantism has been declining, the survey found. In the 1970s, Protestants accounted for about two-thirds of the population. The Pew survey found they now make up about 51 percent. Evangelical Christians account for a slim majority of Protestants, and those who leave one evangelical denomination usually move to another, rather than to mainline churches.
To Prof. Stephen Prothero, large numbers of Americans leaving organized religion and large numbers still embracing the fervor of evangelical Christianity point to the same desires.
âThe trend is toward more personal religion, and evangelicals offer that,â said Mr. Prothero, chairman of the religion department at Boston University, who explained that evangelical churches tailor many of their activities for youth. âThose losing out are offering impersonal religion and those winning are offering a smaller scale: mega-churches succeed not because they are mega but because they have smaller ministries inside.â

It's not often a reader offers you a hat tip on a story you wrote, but thanks Gershon, who sent me an e-mail that said, "Good Muslims are hard to find these days, but it is good to profile them when you do."
He was referring to a story I had in this week's paper about a Muslim scholar teaching at Hebrew Union College. (He was not referring to the other story I had about anti-Israel rhetoric at UC Irvine.) Here's a bit about Ismail Bardhi, who was brought to the attention of HUC's Scholar Rescue Fund by Reuven Firestone, a professor of Islam and Medieval Jewish studies.
Firestone first met Bardhi in Macedonia six years ago, when the latter was helping organize an international conference on religion and peace, the first to bring together the country's Muslim Albanians and Orthodox Christian Slavs.
The conference coincided with a violent build-up between the two ethnic groups—including shootings, retaliation shootings and torchings of churches and mosques—that put the young nation on the brink of civil war. But the dialogue that began with Bardhi and his Orthodox Christian counterpart helped dissolve the tension, and the conflict fizzled.
"In Skopje, Mr. Bardhi was the voice of Muslim moderates who greatly promoted in a nonpolitical manner the process of reconciliation between Albanian Muslims and Macedonian Orthodox," Paul Mojzes, organizer of the conference and co-editor of The Journal of Ecumenical Studies, wrote in a letter of recommendation. (Last March, in an essay titled, "Orthodoxy and Islam in the Balkans," Mojzes identified Bardhi as "the best Muslim proponent of inter-religious dialogue in the Balkans.")
The Macedonian peace, however, was short-lived, and two years ago, when Bardhi was nominated to become president of the Islamic Religious Union of Macedonia, he discovered that the problems had bled into his own religious community. After a former student who had become affiliated with the Muslim nationalists smashed Bardhi's face with the butt of a gun, Bardhi spent weeks secluded in his home, withdrew from the political race and eventually lost his job for political reasons, he said.
"During the latest elections within the Islamic Religious Union of Macedonia, professor Bardhi has been the most prominent and trusted candidate," Ahmet Sherif, a professor at Macedonia's Institute of National History, wrote in a letter to the Scholar Rescue Fund. "But unfortunately, due to the threatening and sinister actions toward him and his collaborators he chose to withdraw his candidacy as an act of protest."
Bardhi's problem was an unwillingness to politicize his faith. He is, as Firestone described him, an "Islamic humanist," a religious progressive willing to see Islam as "the perfect expression of the divine will," but not alone and superior on the world stage.
"My topic is quranic exegesis and how we have to be more open between the Quran and Torah, to see how they could speak together," said Bardhi, 50. "We have spent too long using religion against each other. This is not good for religion or for human beings."

MOSCOW - The Jewish community of Russia is worried over a rumor campaign by nationalist parties claiming that Dmitri Medvedev, President Vladimir Putin's handpicked successor, is Jewish.
Russian Jewish leaders declined to comment on the rumors officially, fearing to lend them credibility. Off the record, however, one said: "I pray it isn't true, because it would only make trouble, for him and for us."
Medvedev, who recently told a Russian weekly that he was baptized into the Russian Orthodox Church at age 23, has not commented on these rumors. But Russian Internet sites are full of reports about his alleged Jewish roots.
The rumors are based in part on the fact that his maternal grandfather's first name was Veniamin - similar to the Hebrew Binyamin (Benjamin) - while his family name, Shaposhnikov, is sometimes a Jewish name. But beyond that, accusing an electoral rival of being Jewish is a tactic that nationalist parties have employed in the past, both in Russia and in other former communist countries.
The concern here is that such "accusations" will arouse centuries-old anti-Semitism in the former czarist state. Russia is, after all, the birthplace of "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion."

"I'm not a math guy. I'm more of a miracle guy."
The words of Mike Huckabee a few minutes ago on "Saturday Night Live's" mock news show "Weekend Update." The former Arkansas governor was there to explain, in self-deprecating form, why he remains in the race for the Republican presidential nomination even though he'd still be trailing John McCain if he swept each and every remaining delegate.
"Mike Huckabee does not overstay his welcome," he said. "When it's time for me to go, I'll know. And I'll exit out with class and grace."
He then remained behind the anchors' desk, even after anchor Seth Meyers made it clear it was time to go.

Politicians usually appreciate capturing voting blocs. But I have to wonder if predications like this—that Barack Obama is the overwhelming favorite for Muslims—will hurt the candidate more than it will help.
Many American Muslims are genuinely invested in finding a candidate who actually sees the United States as responsible member of a global community, and not just a bully.
And that's why the overwhelming support of the Muslim community now has shifted to the Democratic side, and specifically to Sen. Barack Obama.
Sen. Hillary Clinton generates little interest among Muslim-Americans. She favors an "undivided" (i.e., all Jewish) Jerusalem, which would signal even further suffering and catastrophe—even ethnic cleansing—for Palestinians who for more than a thousand years have called Jerusalem home.
And Clinton has signed on to a bill that makes war with Iran more likely, as it specifies that Iran is waging a "proxy war" against the United States in Iraq. It is this kind of language that got us ensnared in Iraq in the first place.
Obama, on the other hand, condemned Clinton's vote on Iran and stressed diplomacy. Obama's cosmopolitanism—raised in Hawaii and Indonesia, son of a white Midwestern mother and a Kenyan father—also resonates with many Muslims who want their president to be a global citizen, for a change.
When he began his political career, Obama courageously supported the idea that the United States should be a real honest broker between Israelis and Palestinians. Over time, however, he has distanced himself from the Palestinian side.
Yet many American Muslims remain hopeful that a President Obama would bring his vision of peace and justice back to all the areas of U.S. foreign policy, including the bleeding wound that is Palestine/Israel.
Pundits, take note: Overwhelmingly, American Muslims will be casting their votes for Obama.
George Bush owned the Muslim vote in 2000 because of campaign promises that came up exceedingly empty after 9/11, and in 2004 93 percent voted for John Kerry. Observers have been predicting American Muslims would vote strongly Democratic in November. And it's little surprise that Obama, whose father was Muslim and whose middle name is Hussein, would be the fan favorite.
The problem for the Illinois senator is that one of the efforts to torpedo his campaign has been a handful of Internet rumors that he is a Jew-hating undercover Muslim. Despite assertions to the contrary, and the defense of many prominent Jews and despite the fact that the right Muslim could be a good president, the fear seems to linger with many people I talk to, even though who should know much better.

Huawei Ascend W1 to be released in Germany this month?
Huawei's Ascend W1 is believed to be heading to Germany this month, with reports over on WPArea suggesting the Windows Phone could be released as soon as next week (with retailer Conrad stating such a date). As a Windows Phone 8 solution, the W1 would offer German consumers a new option, one which would be aggressively priced against competition.
The smartphone is already listed on German online retail websites (with a price tag of around €199.95), but no accurate date of arrival has yet been unveiled. Available in both black and blue, the Windows Phone may prove to be a popular choice with the retail pricing and fact it's a Windows Phone 8 smartphone.
To serve as a reminder, what's packed inside the Ascend W1? It sports a dual-core 1.2GHz processor, 1950mAh battery, 4" (800x480) display, 512MB of RAM, 5 MP camera, and 4GB storage (expandable to 32GB with a micro SD card), making the Windows Phone an attractive entry level smartphone. The added SD support will ensure owners can pack the device full of music and other media.
We'll look forward to see Huawei push the device across Europe, Asia and beyond. The company has had a rough journey to get to this point, and many believed we wouldn't see Huawei hardware running Windows Phone outside select markets, but it we could well be witnessing the birth of a fourth partnership between Microsoft and a mobile phone manufacturer.
It's uncertain how the Ascend W1 will perform, especially with rival hardware launched by Nokia, HTC and Samsung to contend with. Since Huawei is still relatively new to the Windows Phone game, we'll give them the opportunity to show just what the company plans to do regarding marketing, OEM apps, updates and support.
Source: WPArea.de; thanks, Öcal, for the tip!

I've read reports about Huawei being accused of spying for the Chinese government from my senators, due to word of mouth saying Huawei is part of the Chinese government. Huawei has said they're not spying, but I really can't tell which lips the truth speaketh. If someone can shed some truth, help me out.
Rishicash says:
The US Dept. of Defense has stated that Huawei is a threat to the security of the United States. Eric Schmidt says basically the same thing. With so many phones available, why would any American even consider buying a Huawei product? Boycott Huaweii and stop blogging about them!
L0gic Bom8 says:
No offense mate, I feel Eric Schmidt is as full of it as Bobby Kotick. I might go with the senate, but I don't trust Schmidt.
Tiago Lopes says:
The truth is everyone is spying on everyone else so just relax.
Google, given half a chance, would stick their fist so far up you they'd make you talk like a puppet.
And to be honest, think for a minute. What exactly could the Chinese government do with your porn preferences, Facebook password and Angry Birds high score? I mean really, they're evil and all but what would they really be doing with it? Nothing that scares me too much.
schlubadub says:
Haha nice response! :)
Rishicash says:
Huawei spies for the Chinese government which steals from US defense companies and US businesses. Make an effort to find out what Huawei business is. They are new to the mobile phone business. They are huge with business communications.
Do you really not appreciate the difference between hacking a phone app and espionage from a hostile foreign country?
Sonicbeef says:
Weird, I've heard similar rumors out here in Canada? Could it be true?
Tiago Lopes says:
Yes probably. Would you prefer the people who spy on you to be a specific nationality, and if so which?
lippidp says:
Just because you have bent over don't expect everyone else to do the same.
Tiago Lopes says:
You have a phone and or computer and or the internet? Well you're bending over too sunshine
lippidp says:
Sure, for the trivial stuff, but i am locked down for the important stuff. Yes, even on my phone, Sunshine. I can't stand people that use the argument that spying is OK since everyone else is doing it. Grow a spine and a pair of manlies and stop being so defeatist.
paulheu says:
Pretty sure there's enough US citizens working for US companies abroad who have some 'special assignments' besides their regular jobs.
So your point is?
mjrtoo says:
It's more about them stealing all of their technology from others, especially Cisco. But yes, China is a huge spy factor, and not just via a phone...
Flogrut says:
Sorry, wpcentral, but after this post I really doubt about your seriousness. First of all the mentioned source from Germany writes a wrong date about the release as you could check with one visit at conrad. But what is more important, this named source is totally unserious. For example since two days you can buy the Nokia Lumia 620 in Germany and they did not report about it, Lumia 920 Portico-Update since a few days for all user underway: no word about it, really strange what sources you trust.
Tiwo says:
One visit at the conrad page tells me 7 feb.. He's pretty close though..
WPfreak8 says:
Hey troll, you should learn to read reports correctly: http://wparea.de/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/huawei-ascendw1-conrad.jpg
do you see the date? So.. conrad did change the date, what's the problem here?
You obviously have a problem with wparea but me and the most german readers don't think so. they only rely on facts..
Flogrut says:
Sure, no arguments, so we start to abuse other people, how pitiful.
WPfreak8 says:
I forgot something. You just may buy the lumia 620 from expansys.. that's it! No other german seller has that phone on stock!
Flogrut says:
in Internet yes, thats right.
Simon Chu says:
In the February 2013 copy of the UK's O2 ctatlogue, it says that the Huawei W1 is "coming soon" as well, though the website makes no mention of this. Hopefully it's quick to market - a bit of competition for the lower end (which the Lumia 620 seems intent on taking) would be nice.
nablor says:
MS needs to add app install to the Sd card as the small storage is a big negative for this type of device.
Coolknight1968 says:
In Germany where "Geiz ist geil" an inexpensive Huawei WP8 might do quite well.
Also Huawei is the company that builds the LTE network of T-Mobile.

any tips on extruding cone 10 porcelain tubes, how to prevent warping during drying.

extruding cone 10 porcelain troubleshooting
Posted 28 January 2013 - 10:19 PM
bciskepottery, on 28 January 2013 - 08:25 PM, said:
How long are the extrusions? Are you altering the shape after extruding, or just using the tubes straight from the extruder?
The extrusions are about 16" long, and they are to be used in our Flute making, so they are not altered, just tuned at a leather hard stage.
Posted 28 January 2013 - 11:56 PM
Maybe try a dowel that matches the interior of the extrusion . . . either extruded directly over the dowel, or inserted after. I'd either put plastic or newspaper under the extruded forms so they can shrink without binding/deforming on a bare wareboard or put a smaller dowel through them and suspend them so they air dry without laying flat on a board. Minimum handling.
Posted 29 January 2013 - 02:01 AM
I work 99% in porcelain for some time now.If you are making only a few extrude a tube and leave it hang till firmer-Which will keep it straight and easier to handle,then hold a board up to its length for support as you cut it-a helper would be good. I would have paper on the board and lay some soft fabric on each side for support as it dries under plastic slowly.
If you are production making them then I would have some more steps for you.
I used to make production porcelain extruded glasses but straight was not important.
