Easy Apple Strudel PRINT
When you pull this warm strudel from the oven, everyone will think it took hours to prepare. Not true, because this recipe uses puff pastry sheets and canned pie filling.
½ | of a 17.3-ounce package Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry Sheets (1 sheet), thawed |
1 | egg |
1 | tablespoon water |
1 | can (21 ounces) apple pie filling |
Heat the oven to 375°F. Beat the egg and water in a small bowl with a fork or whisk.
Unfold the pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Roll the pastry sheet into a 16× 12-inch rectangle. With the short side facing you, spoon the pie filling on the bottom half of the pastry to within 1 inch of the edge.
Starting at the short side, roll up like a jelly roll. Place seam-side down onto a baking sheet. Tuck the ends under to seal. Brush the pastry with the egg mixture. Cut several slits into the top of the pastry.
Bake for 35 minutes or until the strudel is golden brown. Let the strudel cool on the baking sheet on a wire rack for 20 minutes.

Carroll cops eye row CCTV as ace set to give his side
GARDAI were last night still trying to track down CCTV footage of football ace Andy Carroll's boozy clash with a photographer.
West Ham striker Carroll, 23, denies laying a finger on Irish Sun snapper Paddy Cummins, whose eye was gouged in a street scuffle.
Although officers have obtained footage from Burger King on Grafton Street, they are set to retrieve images from the nearby AIB bank.
Trouble flared on Monday after the star — in Dublin for the Hammers' Christmas bash — turned up in a rickshaw to queue for fast food near Lillie's Bordello on Grafton Street at around 2am. Once all witnesses have been contacted about the row, officers will write to West Ham for Carroll's version of events.
A source said: "Investigations are ongoing and officers intend to secure more CCTV footage from the area.
"Gardai will be speaking to more witnesses about the complaint before all evidence is compiled and sent to the DPP."

Active Standard ASTM D332 Developed by Subcommittee: D01.26 |Book of Standards Volume: 06.01
This test method is used as a referee method and for quality control. The vehicle (oil) for preparing the dispersions and the tinting pigment (ultramarine blue) are specified but other vehicles and tinting pigments can be used. Any such changes in the test method must be agreed upon between the purchaser and the seller.
The results obtained with a muller do not necessarily agree with an industrial situation where different dispersing conditions exist. However, dispersing with a muller is a fast and relatively inexpensive way of testing tinting strength for routine quality control.
1. Scope
1.1 This test method describes the procedure for determining the relative tinting strength of white pigments by visual assessment of blue tints.
1.2 This test method is applicable only for comparing the test pigment with a reference standard of the same type and grade.
Note 1—Test Method D2745 describes a procedure for instrumental evaluation of black tinted samples.
1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.

Make it an option to not get things people may already have when upgrading a PC such as monitors, mouse, keyboard. This would be good environmentally and save people some money if they already have theae things and will not be keeping the old PC.

They should be optional everywhere. It's the only valid option.Jan 28, 2009 Comment Link
We already offer some sales configurations without a monitor. I have not seen one excluding a keyboard and mouse.
Oct 17, 2008 Comment Link
YEAA!! finally a accurate price comparison to crappy hp pcs without monitors...fake price from hp is over!!Oct 7, 2008 Comment Link
I hate that I cant opt out of getting the standard keyboard/mouse that I am not going to use.Sep 29, 2008 Comment Link
Thank you! It's especially annoying to have to get a new keyboard and mouse every time I buy a computer--I feel guilty that all that new plastic is being created just so I can chuck the old ones.Jul 31, 2008 Comment Link
This is very important issue - almost everyone I know now has an lcd monitor and don't need/want another, even if it is larger. The ability to buy a desktop without monitor for $200 less would be very attractive.May 30, 2008 Comment Link
How soon is "coming soon" ? Over a year ago so far....Mar 17, 2008 Comment Link
This idea needs looking into.Mar 14, 2008 Comment Link
Hi. What is the status of this idea? are we going to have this option(s) soon? At the moment I would buy a Dell desktop - but I do not do it because i don't want an extra monitor. ThanksJan 7, 2008 Comment Link
Agree, i don't want a mouse, i dont need a keyboard. i already have these, i dont want to pay the extra 10$ and it'd be a bonus point for dell on the greenpeace chart. please give us this option on ALL pcs

Re: What do you give a movie, walking in?
I'm on the 'movie can only lose me' side, and mentally penalise a film every time something bad or stupid happens (and then add points back if something good or impressive happens which undoes it). So the viewing experience is essentially balancing the scales. I nearly always watch the film all the way through to the end and give it that opportunity to turn itself around (unless it's really, really bad), so often I end up liking a movie because the third act has redeemed the whole. Though often, sometimes the third act might fizzle out an otherwise great or ok movie.
I'm usually less accepting of stupid things, or stuff I feel doesn't make sense, which is probably why I have such an intense loathing for the Transformers movies.
What I do find fascinating is how easy it is to come out of most movies feeling like it's been a great film. You've got that euphoric 'I've just seen a movie' feeling that lasts until you've got back to your car. You want so badly to have loved that movie and to keep thinking it was the best thing ever. Ghost Protocol was one such movie that I remember most recently where this happened, hugely enjoyable as you're watching it but as you're driving home you begin to see its flaws.
This is, incidentally, why I have yet to watch Community or Dr. Who.
Meh, you don't have to watch them.
*looks around* Did it work?

whats really weird is that the story in the mail was completely true, the woman hadnt realised that the disease was making her start to lean to one side, the balance board of course picked this up and she then went to the doctors and got a diagnosis, the one in the sun (owner : rupert murdoch of fox news and sky fame) was the usual story as youd expect about someone who had not only used wii fit but had made the effort to change other parts of her lifestyle too.
Marketing for casuals. If this trend continues, gaming shall not be as great as it once was. Well, if Sony falls, that is. The only one of the big 3 that seem to be holding their great stance for core titles. Might just be because they fail at innovating. Too bad for them, good for me.
And wow, why do I feel like that guy who speaks weirdly in Mass Effect 2. Doctor something. I write too many short sentences. Yaya
I am really looking forward to see that Playstation move cure aids or kinect cure cancer.
Wii fit made me obese. Kinect gave me an erection lasting more than 4 hours and Move...don't get me started on Move.
Nintendo Motionplus turned me into a newt!!!
The losing weight one, well thats any fitness regime you can stick too if it helped some one lose weight thats great for them. I still wouldn't compare Wii Fit to a real gym lol
As for the Parkinson's thing well while it might not be really related to the Wii balance board in specific at least its a good thing she found out about it early. I do not believe there is any cure but I think with early treatment, it can really help you live a longer healthier life.
Just goes to show you never know whats going to be a good influence in your life and you get lucky sometimes.
All companies are guilty of this type of crap. To them the bottom line is God and consumers are simple sheep to be manipulated. Which is why it's stupid to be a fanboy to a faceless corporation.
I bet Zeus would praise the lord if there were Kinect stories in those UK newspapers.
Wait a sec... Isn't this just the same old UK Media crap that's been going on for ages?
WTF is with this post assuming it's a PR stunt by Nintendo?! Also, I don't see a link to anything but a picture. Tell me this isn't another jab at Nintendo by Zeus for the sake of it. Seriously, am I missing something or is there some serious assumption going on here... and with UK tabloids?! This is the UK... where the worst stories are made up to make a buck.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Are Prisons Obsolete?'
With her characteristic brilliance, grace and radical audacity, Angela Y. Davis has put the case for the latest abolition movement in American life: the abolition of the prison. As she quite correctly notes, American life is replete with abolition movements, and when they were engaged in these struggles, their chances of success seemed almost unthinkable. For generations of Americans, the abolition of slavery was sheerest illusion. Similarly,the entrenched system of racial segregation seemed to last forever, and generations lived in the midst of the practice, with few predicting its passage from custom. The brutal, exploitative (dare one say lucrative?) convict-lease system that succeeded formal slavery reaped millions to southern jurisdictions (and untold miseries for tens of thousands of men, and women). Few predicted its passing from the American penal landscape. Davis expertly argues how social movements transformed these social, political and cultural institutions, and made such practices untenable.
In Are Prisons Obsolete?, Professor Davis seeks to illustrate that the time for the prison is approaching an end. She argues forthrightly for "decarceration", and argues for the transformation of the society as a whole. [via]

With Between Vengeance and Forgiveness, Martha Minow, Harvard law professor and one of our most brilliant and humane legal minds, offers a landmark book on justice and healing after horrific violence. Remembering and forgetting, judging and forgiving, reconciling and avenging, grieving and educatingMinow shows us why each may be necessary, yet painfully inadequate, to individuals and societies living in the wake of past horrors. She explores the rich and often troubling range of responses to massive, societal-level oppression. She writes of the legacy of war-crime prosecutions, beginning with the Nuremberg trials. She explores whether reparation - such as the monetary awards given to Japanese-Americans for internment during World War II, or art, such as Holocaust memorials - can be a basis for reconciliation after immeasurable personal and cultural loss. Minow also writes with informed, searching prose of the extraordinary drama of truth commissions in Argentina, East Germany, and most notably South Africa, and in the process delves into the risks and requirements involved in hearing from victims, the dynamics of gender, and the value of even imperfect gestures in the midst of these riveting experiments in justice and healing.

How human rights have come to dominate world politics, from Kosovo to East Timor. Hailed by the Observer as "a book to stop another Holocaust," Crimes Against Humanity is the first work to weave together history, philosophy, international law, and politics into a comprehensive and engrossing account of the increasingly significant movement for world human rights. Robertson, one of the world's leading human rights lawyers, reveals how human rights, a concept virtually unknown before the second world war, has over the last fifty years penetrated the legal armor of the sovereign state, providing a justification for the international communitywith or without the United Nationsto bring down tyrants and torturers. Called "absorbing and important" by the Guardian [London], Crimes Against Humanity defines a whole new field of inquiry. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Gulag: A History'
Gulag: A History, by Washington Post columnist Anne Applebaum, is a cogent, meticulously researched exposé of the Soviet system of institutionalized terror, repression, and punishment that, over the course of the 20th century, turned the world's largest nation into a vast concentration camp and mass grave. Applebaum investigates the gulag from its origins just after the Russian Revolution through its expansion under Stalin's reign to its collapse during the period of glasnost and the fall of communism. She draws on original research, as well as recently released archival material and memoirs by both "ordinary" survivors and those who would become literary giants, like Alexander Solzhenitsyn, author of The Gulag Archipelago and One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, and Polish novelist Gustav Herling-Grudzinski, who wrote A World Apart based on his experiences in the camps. She describes the categories of prisoner--an estimated 18 million between 1929 and 1953, the year Stalin died--who from "the very earliest days of the new Soviet state&were to be sentenced not for what they had done, but for who they were": old Bolsheviks, deportees from Soviet-occupied Eastern Europe during World War II, repatriated Soviet POWs, foreign communists, dissidents, the man, woman or child on the street--political prisoners mixed with common criminals. Anyone who could be perceived as a threat or traitor or simply a needed body was arrested, tortured, and used as slave labor to extract natural resources from remote corners of Siberia, work on absurdly ambitious transportation and energy projects, and build the Soviet economy. The reasons for incarceration; the journeys to the outposts; the strategies for survival of prisoners subjected to cold, starvation, rape; the types of heavy labor; the conditions for women and children; the political structure within the camp--these are just some of the broad themes that Applebaum tackles.
Deftly melding generality with specificity, Applebaum allows the individual to speak for the many and, in the process, paints a horrifying portrait of a nation forged from paranoia and the terror invoked by the arbitrary exercise of power that tore apart families and enslaved, brutalized, and murdered millions. By giving voice to the millions who disappeared into unmarked graves in an eight-decade-long episode in human history that rivaled the atrocities committed during the Holocaust, Applebaum makes an invaluable contribution to a growing body of re-evaluative literature that will, hopefully, inspire a thoughtful consideration of our collective past, and a more critical awareness our present. --Diana Kuprel [via]

Human Rights as Politics and Idolatry may raise some hackles for its controversial approach to a sacrosanct subject, but Michael Ignatieff's arguments are carefully wrought and compassionate. Ignatieff is director of the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy at Harvard University, and his work is part history of the evolution of human rights in international politics and part caution that it not become a new religion. He writes, "We need to stop thinking of human rights as trumps and begin thinking of them as a language that creates the basis for deliberation."
The book centers on two essays by Ignatieff. In the second, "Human Rights as Idolatry," he identifies three main challenges to the universality of human rights: Islam, East Asia, and, most interestingly, the West itself. According to Ignatieff, the West is forsaking its political heritage of individualism and thereby eroding the foundations upon which a truly universal system of human rights may be built. In addition to the author's intriguing essays, there is an introduction by Amy Gutmann, as well as comments from K. Anthony Appiah, David A. Hollinger, Thomas W. Laqueur, and Diane F. Orentlicher. The critical reactions to Ignatieff, together with a short response of his own, have the makings of an intelligent and accessible debate. --Eric de Place [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Jungle'
While Sinclairs main target was the industrys appalling labor conditions, the reading public was most outraged by the disgusting filth and contamination in American food that his novel exposed. As a result, President Theodore Roosevelt demanded an official investigation, which quickly led to the passage of the Pure Food and Drug laws. For a work of fiction to have such an impact outside its literary context is extremely rare. (At the time of The Jungles publication in 1906, the only novel to have led to social change on a similar scale in America was Uncle Toms Cabin.)
Today, The Jungle remains a relevant portrait of capitalism at its worst and an impassioned account of the human spirit facing nearly insurmountable challenges.

King Leopold of Belgium, writes historian Adam Hochschild in this grim history, did not much care for his native land or his subjects, all of which he dismissed as "small country, small people." Even so, he searched the globe to find a colony for Belgium, frantic that the scramble of other European powers for overseas dominions in Africa and Asia would leave nothing for himself or his people. When he eventually found a suitable location in what would become the Belgian Congo, later known as Zaire and now simply as Congo, Leopold set about establishing a rule of terror that would culminate in the deaths of 4 to 8 million indigenous people, "a death toll," Hochschild writes, "of Holocaust dimensions." Those who survived went to work mining ore or harvesting rubber, yielding a fortune for the Belgian king, who salted away billions of dollars in hidden bank accounts throughout the world. Hochschild's fine book of historical inquiry, which draws heavily on eyewitness accounts of the colonialists' savagery, brings this little-studied episode in European and African history into new light. --Gregory McNamee [via]

Tracy Kidder is a winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the author of the bestsellers The Soul of a New Machine , House , Among Schoolchildren , and Home Town . He has been described by the Baltimore Sun as the "master of the non-fiction narrative." This powerful and inspiring new book shows how one person can make a difference, as Kidder tells the true story of a gifted man who is in love with the world and has set out to do all he can to cure it. At the center of Mountains Beyond Mountains stands Paul Farmer. Doctor, Harvard professor, renowned infectious-disease specialist, anthropologist, the recipient of a MacArthur "genius" grant, world-class Robin Hood, Farmer was brought up in a bus and on a boat, and in medical school found his life's calling: to diagnose and cure infectious diseases and to bring the lifesaving tools of modern medicine to those who need them most. This magnificent book shows how radical change can be fostered in situations that seem insurmountable, and it also shows how a meaningful life can be created, as Farmer-brilliant, charismatic, charming, both a leader in international health and a doctor who finds time to make house calls in Boston and the mountains of Haiti-blasts through convention to get results. Mountains Beyond Mountains takes us from Harvard to Haiti, Peru, Cuba, and Russia as Farmer changes minds and practices through his dedication to the philosophy that "the only real nation is humanity" - a philosophy that is embodied in the small public charity he founded, Partners In Health. He enlists the help of the Gates Foundation, George Soros, the U.N.'s World Health Organization, and others in his quest to cure the world. At the heart of this book is the example of a life based on hope, and on an understanding of the truth of the Haitian proverb "Beyond mountains there are mountains": as you solve one problem, another problem presents itself, and so you go on and try to solve that one too.

› Find signed collectible books: 'On Liberty'
No one can be a great thinker who does not recognise, that as a thinker it is his first duty to follow his intellect to whatever conclusions it may lead. Truth gains more even by the errors of one who, with due study and preparation, thinks for himself, than by the true opinions of those who only hold them because they do not suffer themselves to think. -John Stuart Mill, in On Liberty Often mentioned in the same breath with the Communist Manifesto, On Liberty-perhaps the greatest work from British political philosopher John Stuart Mill-is one of the most profound and most hotly debated works of the 19th century. Is it a classic plea for human freedom and intellectual development... or is it factually wrong and morally offensive? English philosopher and politician JOHN STUART MILL (1806-1873) was one of the foremost figure of Western intellectual thought in the late 19th century. He served as an administrator in the East Indian Company from 1823 to 1858, and as a member of parliament from 1865 to 1868. [via]

Mill predicted that "[t]he Liberty is likely to survive longer than anything else that I have written...because the conjunction of [Harriet Taylors] mind with mine has rendered it a kind of philosophic text-book of a single truth, which the changes progressively taking place in modern society tend to bring out in ever greater relief." Indeed, On Liberty is one of the most influential books ever written, and remains a foundational document for the understanding of vital political, philosophical and social issues. In addition to its many useful appendices, this new edition includes a chronology, bibliography, and a substantial introduction which outlines Mills life and works, and sets this central work of 1859 in the context of both his own intellectual development and of the play of ideas and political forces in Victorian society.

Collected here in a single volume for the first time, On Liberty, Utilitarianism, Considerations on Representative Government, and The Subjection of Women show John Stuart Mill applying his liberal utilitarian philosophy to a range of issues that remain vital today--the nature of ethics, the scope and limits of individual liberty, the merits of and costs of democratic government, and the place of women in society. In his Introduction John Gray describes these essays as applications of Mill's doctrine of the Art of Life, as set out in A System of Logic. Using the resources of recent scholarship, he shows Mill's work to be far richer and subtler than traditional interpretations allow. [via]

George Soross The Crisis of Global Capitalism became an international bestseller and an instant classic; a must read for anyone concerned with the complex market forces that rule our global economy and create both prosperity and instability. Now, in Open Society, Soros takes a new and provocative look at the arguments he made in that book, incorporating the latest global economic and political developments into his analysis. He shows how our economic and political arrangements are out of sync. Recognizing that our existing institutions are under the sway of sovereign states, he proposes an "open society alliance" with the dual purpose of fostering open societies in individual countries and laying the groundwork for a global open society. In leading up to his inspiring vision, Soros presents an iconoclastic view of the world that has guided him both in making money and spending it on his network of Open Society Foundations. This book sums up the life's work of an exceptional individual. George Soros is the best fund manager in history, a stateless statesman, and an original thinker.

In OUR ENDANGERED VALUES, Jimmy Carter describes quite personally his own involvement and reactions to some disturbing societal trends that have taken place during the past few years. These changes involve both the religious and the political worlds as they have increasingly become intertwined, and include some of the most crucial and controversial issues of the day - frequently encapsulated under 'moral values'. Many of these matters are under fierce debate, and include pre-emptive war, women's rights, terrorism, civil liberties, homosexuality, abortion, the death penalty, science and religion, environmental degradation, nuclear arsenals, America's global image, fundamentalism, and the welding of religion and politics. Carter, sustained by his own lifelong faith, assesses these issues in a forceful and unequivocal, but balanced and courageous way.

During the three years (1993-1996) Samantha Power spent covering the grisly events in Bosnia and Srebrenica, she became increasingly frustrated with how little the United States was willing to do to counteract the genocide occurring there. After much research, she discovered a pattern: "The United States had never in its history intervened to stop genocide and had in fact rarely even made a point of condemning it as it occurred," she writes in this impressive book. Debunking the notion that U.S. leaders were unaware of the horrors as they were occurring against Armenians, Jews, Cambodians, Iraqi Kurds, Rwandan Tutsis, and Bosnians during the past century, Power discusses how much was known and when, and argues that much human suffering could have been alleviated through a greater effort by the U.S. She does not claim that the U.S. alone could have prevented such horrors, but does make a convincing case that even a modest effort would have had significant impact. Based on declassified information, private papers, and interviews with more than 300 American policymakers, Power makes it clear that a lack of political will was the most significant factor for this failure to intervene. Some courageous U.S. leaders did work to combat and call attention to ethnic cleansing as it occurred, but the vast majority of politicians and diplomats ignored the issue, as did the American public, leading Power to note that "no U.S. president has ever suffered politically for his indifference to its occurrence. It is thus no coincidence that genocide rages on." This powerful book is a call to make such indifference a thing of the past. --Shawn Carkonen [via]

The AIDS pandemic of Africa has killed 19 million people, 4 million of them children. It is the world's worst health disaster since the Middle Ages. The problems are so staggering they seem incomprehensible. But Canadian diplomat Stephen Lewis manages to explain their roots, give them a human face, and outline solutions in his important book Race Against Time. As the United Nations Secretary General's special envoy for HIV/AIDS in Africa, Lewis has an insider's view of the political stonewalling of Western countries as well as the brutal realities of AIDS-ravaged villages in Zimbabwe and South Africa.
Lewis is the son of federal New Democratic Party leader David Lewis and was himself head of the Ontario NDP. He is frank that he has "a love affair with Africa"--first kindled when he was a teacher in Nigeria, Ghana, and Uganda during the early 1960s. After a stint as Canadian Ambassador to the UN, Lewis launched into a new career as an international diplomat, holding top jobs at UNICEF and the World Health Organization. He doesn't hide his fury at Western complicity in Africa's AIDS catastrophe. He says African countries were brought to their knees by World Bank and International Monetary Fund policies that forced many governments to gut health care and social programs in the 1980s. Africa's hamstrung societies were unable to care for their citizens when AIDS struck. "I have spent the last four years watching people die," he writes. "The ongoing plight of Africa forces me to perpetual rage. It's all so unnecessary, so crazy." Lewis's book is passionately written and poignantly brings home the truth that the distant tragedy in Africa is not so distant at all. --Alex Roslin [via]

One of the great classics on democracy, "Rights of Man" was published in England in 1791 as a vindication of the French Revolution and a critique of the British system of government. In direct, forceful prose, Paine defends popular rights, national independence, revolutionary war, and economic growth - all considered dangerous and even seditious issues. In his introduction Eric Foner presents an overview of Paine's career as political theorist and pamphleteer, and supplies essential background material to "Rights of Man". He discusses how Paine created a language of modern politics that brought important issues to the common man and the working classes and assesses the debt owed to Paine by the American and British radical traditions.

The United States government often invokes a moral imperative to honor human rights as justification for its foreign-policy decisions. But, according to Noam Chomsky, America's actual track record falls far short of the principles iterated in 1948's Universal Declaration of Human Rights--the accepted international standard. This slim but passionate volume lists case after case in which the United States has provided aid to grossly abusive regimes--among which Chomsky includes Israel and Indonesia--and examples of how the American government seeks to limit the human rights of its own citizens. With equal criticism for Democrat and Republican administrations, The Umbrella of U.S. Power refuses to remain silent about "the things it 'wouldn't do' to mention" as it works to expose the contradictions between what government leaders tell their people and what they actually do. --Ron Hogan [via]

Praise for the first edition-
"Every once in a while a book appears that treats the leading issues of a subject in such a clear and challenging manner that it becomes central to understanding that subject. Universal Human Rights in Theory and Practice is just such a book. . . . Donnelly's interpretations are clear and argued with zest."-American Political Science Review
"This wide-ranging book looks at all aspects of human rights, drawing upon political theory, sociology, and international relations as well as international law. . . . [Jack Donnelly] deals successfully with two of the principal challenges to the notion of the universality of human rights: the argument that some non-Western societies are not subject to Western norms, and the claim that economic development may require the sacrifice of some human rights."-Foreign Affairs
In a thoroughly revised edition of Universal Human Rights in Theory and Practice (more than half of the material is new), Jack Donnelly elaborates a theory of human rights, addresses arguments of cultural relativism, and explores the efficacy of bilateral and multilateral international action. Entirely new chapters address prominent post-Cold War issues including humanitarian intervention, democracy and human rights, "Asian values," group rights, and discrimination against sexual minorities.

"Hutus kill Tutsis, then Tutsis kill Hutus--if that's really all there is to it, then no wonder we can't be bothered with it," Philip Gourevitch writes, imagining the response of somebody in a country far from the ethnic strife and mass killings of Rwanda. But the situation is not so simple, and in this complex and wrenching book, he explains why the Rwandan genocide should not be written off as just another tribal dispute.
The "stories" in this book's subtitle are both the author's, as he repeatedly visits this tiny country in an attempt to make sense of what has happened, and those of the people he interviews. These include a Tutsi doctor who has seen much of her family killed over decades of Tutsi oppression, a Schindleresque hotel manager who hid hundreds of refugees from certain death, and a Rwandan bishop who has been accused of supporting the slaughter of Tutsi schoolchildren, and can only answer these charges by saying, "What could I do?" Gourevitch, a staff writer for the New Yorker, describes Rwanda's history with remarkable clarity and documents the experience of tragedy with a sober grace. The reader will ask along with the author: Why does this happen? And why don't we bother to stop it? --Maria Dolan [via]

Unafraid to speak her mind and famously tenacious in her convictions, Eleanor Roosevelt was still mourning the death of FDR when she was asked by President Truman to lead a controversial commission, under the auspices of the newly formed United Nations, to forge the worlds first international bill of rights.
A World Made New is the dramatic and inspiring story of the remarkable group of men and women from around the world who participated in this historic achievement and gave us the founding document of the modern human rights movement. Spurred on by the horrors of the Second World War and working against the clock in the brief window of hope between the armistice and the Cold War, they grappled together to articulate a new vision of the rights that every man and woman in every country around the world should share, regardless of their culture or religion.
A landmark work of narrative history based in part on diaries and letters to which Mary Ann Glendon, an award-winning professor of law at Harvard University, was given exclusive access, A World Made New is the first book devoted to this crucial turning point in Eleanor Roosevelts life, and in world history.

The Realistic Fantasy Transfer Rumours For Summer 2013
0May 23, 2013 by Sean Charles
Here is a rundown of the rumoured biggest transfers of the upcoming transfer window:
Radamel Falcao to Monaco
Monaco, managed currently by Claudio Ranieri, made headlines last summer with the signing of highly rated River Plate youngster Lucas Ocampos for €16 million. The Russian billionaire in charge of AS Monaco, Dmitry Rybolovlev, is determined to once again help the club scale the heights of French football and he sees the signing Falcao as a major stepping stone in this development that will serve to attract other stars to the club. It is said if the move happens Falcao will double his wage and there may even be a clause inserted into the contract which could allow him to leave the club after a season as Monaco are currently in a dispute with the rest of French football concerning their laxed tax laws – something the other clubs feel gives them an unfair advantage. The speculated price of the transfer is rumoured to be around €60m.

When Salva met Celta
0March 6, 2013 by David Bolt
A couple of weeks ago Celta de Vigo, who are currently battling relegation from Spain's Primera Division, fired manager Paco Herrera and replaced him with former Atletico Madrid stalwart Abel Resino. As with most managers, Resino wanted to bring his own coaching staff with him. Normally, this is no big deal; but in this case, his choice of Salva Ballesta for his assistant manager caused a lot of problems.
Salva Ballesta is one of the more controversial figures in Spanish football. His playing career saw him play for several Spanish clubs; most notably two spells at Atletico Madrid, and included a short loan spell at Bolton Wanderers in the Premier League which was in the middle of a pretty unsuccessful few seasons at Valencia.

Pellegrini manages to defy off-field restraints
1January 26, 2013 by Daniel Storey
It is an almost irrevocable fact that off-field issues at a football club will affect the performance of the team. Blackburn Rovers have been on a rapid decline since the Venky's circus came to Lancashire, but the perfect example of this is Leeds United. In 2002/3, after a fifth-placed finish the season before, the club sold Rio Ferdinand and Robbie Keane during the summer as the full extent of the financial crisis became apparent. The club still retained players such as Harry Kewell, Mark Viduka, Ian Harte and Alan Smith amongst other internationals, but proficiency dropped alarmingly as the club slipped towards the economic abyss.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Thursday convicted sex offender Donnie Rae Jones learned he will spend the next 25 years in prison.
After he is released, Jones, 40, will have to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.
In October a jury convicted Jones on a lewd or lascivious molestation charge.
In 2008 police arrested Jones after a mother reported her daughter was sexually abused.
A news release from State Attorney Angela Corey's office said Jones fondled the 11-year-old girl in 2006.
The release said the abuse was not discovered until 2008 when the girl told her mother Jones had touched her inappropriately.

Dangerous Repeat of History
Prabir Purkayastha, Newsclick
History is repeating itself in West Bengal, with Maoists, the Trinamool and the Congress doing what they had done in the late 60's and early 70's. And it will not be history repeating itself, first time as a tragedy, the second time as a farce. This time around, it will be a much bigger tragedy.
Maoism at Its Nadir: The Killings in Bengal
Vijay Prashad, Counterpunch, 28 January, 2010
Poverty does not lead to Maoism. It certainly contributes to it, but it does not produce it. What produces Maoism is the act of making political violence legitimate (even glorifying it). Rather than make the case that there is space within the (however limited) democratic institutions, people like Arundhati Roy trumpet the armed road. Patient work through the democratic institutions produced the important developments for the Dalit [oppressed caste] movement and the working-class movement.

As for the new mom herself, Jess recently tweeted, "Motherhood is by far the best thing I've ever experienced." and revealed, "I'm addicted to buying headbands w massive flowers for Maxwell on etsy! She is insanely beautiful I can't help but play dress up!"

RUMFORD — High school students taking Region 9's debut Fire Science I course this fall looked skyward Friday afternoon at the aerial ladder they'd just climbed.
Rumford firefighter Jeff Harren extended it to 100 feet and positioned it straight up, eliciting several wows from the teens who'd trained on it earlier when it was 80 feet out at a 45-degree angle.
Almost immediately Cody Dux, 16, a junior firefighter with the Bethel Fire Department, asked instructor Craig Wade if he could climb it. A few other students asked to try it, too.
However, Wade, a Dixfield Fire Company firefighter, said they didn't have the time, because school buses would soon arrive for them at the Region 9 School of Applied Technology in Mexico.
Besides, he said, climbing an aerial ladder 100 feet straight up isn't a requirement for certification to become a firefighter.
That's what Wade's new fire science course is all about — learning the fundamentals of firefighting.
"It's a brand new program started this year to get it going and get some students interested and certified in the fire service," Wade said.
He said students taking the course will get their Jones and Bartlett Firefighting I and II certification if they choose to take the state and practical written end test.
"Basically, there's 42 states in the U.S. that will accept it," he said.
On Friday morning, the students toured the Rumford fire station, where Wade said they'd be spending a lot of class time.
Aerial ladder training was a first for some of the students. But others, who are junior firefighters with fire departments in Western Maine, have already been up on aerial ladders.
"It's fun, but when you get to the top, it gets really shaky," Allie Kelly, 15, of Telstar Regional High School said.
Wade said Friday's ladder training focused more on ladder competency and confidence building.
Although Wade said they try to train in the best conditions, as the course continues, students will train in deteriorating conditions like smoke and heat.
"It's definitely a different experience," Wade said of being on an aerial ladder above a raging structure fire. "But also at the same time, it gives you something else other than the height and length of the ladder to concentrate on."
"The scope of this course is getting them through everything from basic vehicle extrication and fire extinguishers, right up to an interior structural attack firefighter."
Additionally, students will go through basic CPR, first-aid and automatic external defibrillator certification. However, Wade said they'll have to pursue getting an actual Maine emergency medical technician license on their own.
Basically, students in any school in RSU 10 and SAD 44's Telstar High School can take the Region 9 course.
Students enrolled in the course this year range from freshmen to seniors. They are: 15-year-olds Allie Kelly, Mackenzie Blake, Marty Letourneau, and Dylan Helms, and Cody Dux, 16, all of Telstar Regional High School in Bethel; Ian Fortin, 17, of Dirigo High School in Dixfield, and Nicholas Blodgett, 17, who is home-schooled.
Kelly, Dux and Fortin said Friday that they're taking the course to get their Firefighting I and II certification.
The fire science class is completely funded through Region 9.
"We also receive a lot of support from area fire departments as far as apparatus, equipment and manpower time when we do some of these bigger events," Wade said.
Additional funding comes from the Carl A. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act of 1998 grant program.
"We'd like to gear (the course) more toward a junior-senior — preferably a junior — because we will be offering a second year next year where they can come back for some advance training," Wade said.
