First session of the 'Eyes of Darfur' project at the Youth Committee Center in El Fasher with 50 Girls and Boy Scouts. |
By Simon Ingram
KHARTOUM, Sudan, 12 October, 2011 - A line of children walk to school; a group of men take shelter under a truck in order to escape the hot African sun; a child reads the Koran on a brightly-coloured prayer mat; a man leads a camel through the dust. These are just a handful of scenes from daily life in the Sudanese state of North Darfur captured by child photographers as part of an unusual photography project.
Eyes of Darfur
Devised by the African Union/United Nations Hybrid operation in Darfur (UNAMID) with support from UNICEF, the Ministry of Education and other partners, the project was designed to give Darfuri children the opportunity to express how they see their lives by providing them with cameras and the absolute minimum of supervision.
Nearly 700 boys and girls from 20 primary and secondary schools and youth organizations in El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur state, participated in the 'Eyes of Darfur' photo contest. In all, they produced some 15,000 pictures featuring their schools, neighborhoods, friends, families and a multitude of fragments of their daily lives.

"What really impressed us was the simple honesty of the images the children produced," said Mr. Albert González Farran of the UNAMID photo unit, who oversaw the project. "It's not that they thought much about the composition or the colours of each photo before they pressed the shutter, as a professional might. Rather you can sense the spontaneity, their desire to show us what they see, to give us a glimpse of their lives as they experience it."
Scenes of daily life
Aged 10-18, the novice photographers were given disposable digital cameras with just 24 frames in each. Some stayed close to the schools, where teachers played an important part in ensuring each child understood the aim of the project. Others brought their cameras into their communities and homes, like 12-year-old Ittidal Musa, who took a picture of her friend, Mariam, carrying a jerrycan full of water in the Internally Displaced Persons camp where they both live.
Scenes of daily life were a favourite topic. 15-year old Sarra Hassan ventured to the main market in El Fasher, to snap a portrait of a tailor working at his sewing machine. Malik Mohamed, 17, chose an image of boys playing football near the construction site of a new mosque. Some images were more introspective, underlining the importance of nature and religion in the very traditional society of Darfur.

Selecting the finalists
"Having collected all the images taken by the children, judging them on their particular merits was no easy task," said Mr. Farran. "Of course the quality was very mixed, but there were at least 500 that had real artistic merit, and narrowing them down to just 30 was very hard indeed."
Those 30 final photographs can be viewed on the UNAMID Facebook page. Visitors to the site are asked to select their favourite 12 photographs which will be used in UNAMID's 2012 calendar. The deadline to vote is 31 October 2011.
"The aim is to extend the Eyes of Darfur project to reach other parts of the region," explained Mr. Farran, "thereby giving other children the opportunity to explore and develop their photographic talent.

Sail-World.com : Sir Philip Craven challenges Rio 2016 to best London 2012
Sir Philip Craven challenges Rio 2016 to best London 2012
International Paralympic Committee (IPC) President Sir Philip Craven has challenged the organizing committee of the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games to outdo the achievements of London 2012, and deliver the best ever Paralympic Games.
Speaking at the start of a two day debrief of the London 2012 Paralympic Games on Wednesday (21 November) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Sir Philip praised the London 2012 Organizing Committee for creating a blueprint for how to organize a Paralympic Games.
London 2012 was the biggest Games to date with 4,237 athletes from 164 countries. They benefitted from a record 2.72 million spectators who created an electric atmosphere, whilst TV pictures were broadcast to over 115 countries and territories. Athletes broke 251 world and 314 Paralympic records and their performances generated record viewing figures and front page news in many countries.
Sir Philip Craven said: '74 days ago at the Closing Ceremony in the Olympic Stadium, I announced to the world I thought that London 2012 had been the best Paralympic Games ever.
'This is a statement I still well and truly stand by today.
'Thanks to the Games a generation has been inspired but also changed. The perception of someone with an impairment has changed, especially in Britain, where each week it appears a different survey is published underlining the impact of London 2012.
'The baton has now passed to Rio, a city which faces the same challenge London did four years ago after Beijing - a challenge to deliver an even better Paralympic Games.'
Despite describing London 2012 as the best ever Paralympics, Sir Philip believes there is room for improvement ahead of the 2016 Games. He is optimistic that a first Paralympics in South America has the potential to change not just Brazil but the whole continent. He also said the attraction of staging the Games in Rio is huge and that 2016 is an opportunity to fulfill the IPC vision 'To enable Paralympic athletes to achieve sporting excellence and inspire and excite the world'.
Sir Philip said: 'Where ever you are in the world, people want to come to Rio. If you say you're coming here people look at you with envy, they want to join you.
'This is a huge selling point and one we should look to capitalise on. Between now and 8th September 2016 when the Opening Ceremony takes place we should all work together to bring the world's athletes, spectators, media and broadcasters to Rio. We should co-ordinate all our effort to ensure the world is here to witness something unique and ultra-special.
'We have 1,386 days to go until the start of the Games and it is vital that we all work together to educate and motivate the Carioca to bring Rio's world famous carnival atmosphere to the Paralympics and let them claim ownership of the Games, just like London and the UK did.
'I'm confident we can do it, and even more confident that Rio has the potential to deliver the best ever Paralympic Games in 2016.'
The London 2012 debrief will conclude on Thursday (22 November). The objective of the event is to explore and discuss the opportunities the London 2012 experiences bring for the future, in order to maintain and build on the momentum of this summer.
On Friday (23 November) the IPC will hold a day long Project Review with the Rio 2016 Organising Committee to receive progress updates on preparations for the next summer Games.

It's around now that speculators all over the country will be putting together their teams of the season.
During the course of the campaign pundits will observe the players and now that we're finished, they'll pick who they think performed best. This is an attempt at doing something different.
This team of the season is entirely picked based on statistics, and as such is something of an alternative team of the season. Each position has been filled by a player who, according to the numbers, offered something extra-ordinary over the course of the campaign. The usual gut instinct and observe-and-report theories when picking a Team of the Season haven't applied at all here. This is solely based on the numbers.
There's one final rule that I've adhered to when picking this team, but I'll keep that as the twist in the tale. So please, before anyone starts giving me grief about not picking any Celtic players, leaving out Allan McGregor or Jon Daly, or questioning why their particular player of the season didn't make it, please read to the end. There's a reason for it, trust me.
The Stats team of the season.
GK – Jason Brown (Aberdeen) Of the goalkeepers who played at least 15 matches last season, Welsh international Brown had the fourth highest save percentage in the entire SPL last season with 82%, behind Fraser Forster (85%), Allan McGregor (85%) and Marian Kello (83%). Of course, this statistic on its own would be fairly useless, but Brown also made the second most saves per game of any shot-stopper. Only Paul Gallacher (4.83) made more than the Aberdeen goalkeeper (4.6). He's not just busy, he's been effective.
RB – Jamie Hamill (Hearts) Only Tom Hateley provided more assists from right-back than Jamie Hammill last season, and his defensive record also holds up to scrutiny; he was part of 11 of Hearts' 13 clean sheets this season. Hamill is also a goal threat, and has the fourth highest shot accuracy in the division (66%) amongst players who have made at least ten attempts at goal.
CB – Andy Webster (Hearts) Hearts finished the season with 13 clean sheets, and Andy Webster was part of the team for 11 of those. In the domestic matches in which he didn't feature, Hearts won just two from eight, losing to Celtic, Motherwell, twice to Dundee United and being eliminated from the League Cup by Ayr United.
CB – Frazer Wright (St Johnstone) It is difficult to quantify the importance of a central defender based solely on statistics. Numbers don't tell you how last-ditch a tackle was or how well they tracked the runs of an opposing forward. What is more apparent is Frazer Wright's importance to St Johnstone's season.
The Perth side recorded the third highest number clean sheets last season with 15. When Wright was fully fit St Johnstone recorded 11 clean sheets and conceded 24 goals in 23 games (1.04 goals per game). Even then, that statistic is skewed by the nine goals leaked to Motherwell and Rangers at the end of the season. St Johnstone averaged 1.48 points per game when Wright was part of the defence. When he was unavailable St Johnstone conceded 26 in the 15 matches (1.73 goals per game) and picked up just 16 points (1.04 points per match).
LB – Paul Dixon (Dundee United) The modern full back needs to not only be able to defend but provide ammunition for more attack minded players. Only three players in the entire SPL provided more goals (9) last season than Paul Dixon; Steven Davis, Kris Commons and Anthony Stokes.
MF– Keith Lasley (Motherwell) Lasley has the third highest shooting accuracy in the SPL for players who have taken at least ten shots. Only Liam Buchanan and the departed Ryan Stevenson can better his 74% shooting accuracy. He's also in here because the Motherwell midfield is so formidable a unit, so we've got to include…
MF – Steve Jennings (Motherwell) Although not an out-an-out holding player, it has been Jennings' energies that have glued together Lasley's experience and the more attacking sensibilities of Nicky Law.
To further emphasise this we need only to look at the comparison of how Motherwell do when he is in the team and when he is not. When he took his place in the Motherwell midfield they were victorious just under 50% of the time. When he wasn't part of the team Motherwell won 20%, a period that coincided with the sticky spell they endured around Christmas.
MF – Nicky Law (Motherwell) The final part of the Motherwell midfield trio, Law has been the most attacking presence of the three. Eight assists, four goals and a 50% shot accuracy are all good indicators as to why.
FW – Paul McGowan (St Mirren) The former Celtic player was the single most fouled player (98) in the SPL last season, mainly because of his direct style and willingness to run at players. He was also ranked third in the players that drew the most fouls per game (2.7), alongside the likes of Gary-Mackay Steven (3.2), James Dayton (3.3) and Kris Commons (2.4).
McGowan's other statistics add up well too. He had a respectable 53% shot accuracy percentage, and managed around 1.48 shots per game, which is comparable to the more overtly striking players like Garry O'Connor or Jon Daly.
FW – Jonny Hayes (Inverness CT) Hayes scored 9 goals and created a further 7 in the past season, which is a formidable record for any wide player. What is all the more remarkable is he did so whilst only managing to play two thirds of a season. Inverness only managed 42 goals all season, and Hayes had a direct hand in 38% of them.
He had a respectable 46% shooting accuracy and provided either a goal or an assist for Inverness every 1.6 matches. With him in the team the Highlanders managed 33 goals in 25 matches (1.32 goals per game, a rate better than third placed Motherwell), without him they scored just 11 goals in 13 games (0.85 goals per game).
ST – Francisco Sandaza (St Johnstone) Not only do you want your lone striker to be able to hold up play, win headers and run at defenders, you want him to be able to finish whatever the creative players in the team provide. Of players who had taken a significant number of shots, only two players in the SPL had a better shot accuracy percentage than Sandaza, top scorer Gary Hooper (64%) and second top scorer Jon Daly (55%).
The Spaniard also managed to work himself plenty of opportunities to shoot. Of the strikers in the SPL, he ranked fifth overall in the ratio of shots to matches played. Nikica Jelavic finished first amongst forwards (2.6), followed by Anthony Stokes (2.5), Kyle Lafferty (2.4) and Leigh Griffiths (2.3). Sandaza managed 1.8 shots per game, and with a very high level of accuracy.
Sandaza's conversion ratio was also very respectable. For forwards who have taken at least ten shots at goal he ranks ninth in the division, and last season he averaged a goal or an assist once every 1.2 matches.
So, now we've named the team, you'll want to know why some players have made it and others haven't. I'm sure there are fans who, understandably, want to know why no players from the SPL winners made the list or why the likes of Steven Davis or Allan McGregor – who were statistically exceptional – were left out.
Quite simply, this is a team made up not just from the players who performed very well statistically speaking, but could have been part of your team at some point in the last 12 months for no money at all. Despite what Liverpool's attempt at "Moneyball" might suggest, the whole point in the exercise, and practices such as sabermetrics in general, is to use statistics to find players who are underrated in their team and available for a lower price than a more stellar acquisition.
Each of these players has been available under freedom of contract in the past 18 months. With the exception of Andy Webster, each has been available for free within the last year. With a bit of foresight, theoretically at least, this could have been your SPL team for 2012/13 with an outlay of £0 in transfer fees. Don't tell me there aren't bargains out there.

Our laboratory is interested in understanding how hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and mature blood cells traffic in vivo. We have uncovered a key role for the nervous system in regulating HSC trafficking, and are evaluating its role in the inflammatory response in diseases such as sickle cell disease. In addition, we are also exploring whether the traffic paradigms uncovered for healthy stem cells applies to cancer cell migration and metastasis.
Molecular and cellular constituents of the stem cell niche. HSCs continuously traffic from the bone marrow to the blood compartment (and vice-versa) under homeostasis. Ongoing studies have focused on the role of the nervous system in the regulation of the HSC niche in the bone marrow. This effort is based on our recent observations suggesting a critical function of adrenergic signals emerging from the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) in HSC egress. While investigating further the mechanisms by which HSCs were mobilized, we have found that exposure to constant light significantly reduced mobilization efficiency following the administration of the hematopoietic cytokine G-CSF. G-CSF is the most commonly used HSC mobilizer in the clinic to harvest stem cells for transplantation. This finding prompted us to assess how HSC are released from the bone marrow under steady-state conditions. We have described the phenomenon and its mechanisms. These studies revealed that stromal cells in the bone marrow are subjected to circadian adrenergic signals transmitted by the ï¢3 adrenergic receptor that lead to the degradation of the transcription factor Sp1 and diurnal changes in the expression of the chemokine Cxcl12. Recent investigations are focused on the identification and regulation of the stromal target for the SNS. These studies have led to the identification of a nestin+ mesenchymal stem cell as a candidate niche cell required for HSC maintenance in the bone marrow.
Mechanisms of sickle cell vaso-occlusion. This project emerged from our intravital microscopy observations suggesting that sickle cell vaso-occlusion was mediated by the direct interaction between sickle erythrocytes and adherent leukocytes in small venules. Further analyses using novel high-speed multichannel fluorescence microscopy techniques have revealed that E-selectin-mediated activating signals emanating from the inflamed endothelium led to the activation of specific microdomains on the leading edge of adherent neutrophils, which then induce intravascular heterotypic interactions between erythrocytes or platelets with adherent leukocytes. Ongoing studies dissect further the molecular basis of this phenomenon.
Role of the nervous system in cancer. We are exploring the role of the autonomic nervous system in cancer formation and metastasis using xenogeneic and transgenic models of prostate cancer. Ultimately, the goal of these studies is to obtain new insight on the cellular and molecular cues that regulate the tumour microenvironment and allow cancer cells to spread.

When creating an energy efficient building, don't overlook the importance of the Airflow Measuring Station (AMS). These extremely important HVAC components are your frontline defense against wasted energy, starting with the amount of Outside Air entering your building. Too much can lead to inefficient BTUH exchange across Hot and Cold Water Coils, too little could lead to stale odors and sick building syndrome. And those are just a few examples.
Ensuring the calibration and function of the Airflow Monitoring Station should be at the top of the priorities list for the Test and Balance Contractor. The equipment should be verified to hold calibration at both Economizer and Minimum Modes, showing that control damper positions do not create "eddies" or unstable flow characteristics at the Air Monitoring Station.
As per AABC Standards – Airflow measuring stations are used for determining total airflow, outside air, return air, relief air, and exhaust quantities of systems.
Each monitor shall be field – verified by a Pitot tube traverse. If the airflow reading by the AMS does not match the traverse ( within +/- 5 % ), the AMS display has to be corrected.
A typical HVAC Specification might call for providing AMS in the main supply, return and outside air ducts of all VAV systems, and to ensure that the AMS is installed with the manufactures recommended straight sections of ductwork on both sides of the measuring station.
While most of the AMS readings can be corrected using a flow factor and the control contractor adjusting his readout, there are a few cases that may need additional troubleshooting.
Some of the additional problems may be as follows:
• Airflow in ductwork changes dramatically, an example would be the airflow in a 30 x 28 outside air duct goes from 6000 cfm 1029 fpm to a minimum of 1500 cfm 257 fpm. This will cause the velocity pressure to go from 0.07″ wg to 0.004″ wg which is below what the AMS can read, resulting in a system error.
• Airflow rate is less than 200 fpm as recommended by most manufactures.
• The AMS is located too close to an intake or louver.
These are just a few items that might require additional time in completing the Testing and Balancing specifications of a project. At times these small steps are "Value Engineered" out of project requirements because of cost. This is a misnomer as these small steps lead to "exponential" energy savings over the lifetime of buildings when applied correctly.

The Sourcefire VRT® (Vulnerability Research Team) is a group of elite cyber security experts dedicated to serving both Sourcefire commercial customers and open source users. The Sourcefire VRT was founded on one core objective: "Protecting 'Your' Network." While this may sound simplistic, in reality it is quite complex. Every network is different- from the applications running on it, to the users who work on it, to the policies that govern it. This is why the Sourcefire VRT believes that in order to be effective in helping you protect "your" network, we have to be more than just a traditional response organization; we have to be a proactive member of your security ecosystem.
The Sourcefire VRT is well known in the industry for its excellence in detecting the myriad vulnerabilities and exploits that emerge daily. Using high quality, rapid releases on a biweekly basis, the Sourcefire VRT keeps all of our customers up-to-date with vulnerability-based protections for the latest threats. While other vendors claim similar coverage, only the Sourcefire VRT has proven time and time again in third-party validation that our detection content is top notch. Sourcefire VRT has led the NSS Labs Network IPS test in detection rate with close to 100% detection two years running. Additionally, ICSA Labs has certified the Sourcefire VRT's vulnerability protections for the last five years with 100% detection rates in vulnerability tests. The Sourcefire VRT are also key contributors to community lead intelligence programs. Working in partnership with the SANS institute, the Sourcefire VRT are key contributors to the SANS @RISK Security Consensus Alert, a community resource that provides actionable weekly intelligence. This widely respected resource contains newly discovered attack vectors, vulnerabilities with active new exploits, insightful explanations of how recent attacks worked, and detailed intelligence of live in-the-wild malware.
Having a trusted place to turn when the going gets tough is essential to effective security. Without strong communication channels between trusted partners, other security teams, and the response teams of your security vendors it is impossible to stay up to date on the latest threats, and solve your unique security problems. The Sourcefire VRT believes we should be an extension of your security team. We don't just push information at you, we want to have constructive conversations about your goals and how we can help you reach them.
Using data acquired through the millions of users worldwide, along with honeypots, sandnets, and extensive industry partnerships in the malware community, the Sourcefire VRT collects more than 100,000 malicious software samples a day. Through our advanced analysis infrastructure and our team of security experts, the Sourcefire VRT automatically analyzes these samples and rapidly generates detection content to mitigate these threats on a daily basis.

People argue a lot about evaluation and 'social impact analysis' (see, they even argue about what it should be called). They especially love to argue about the 'best' way to do it. Like whether you should or shouldn't have an external evaluator, or whether you should or shouldn't do a Randomised Controlled Trial (RCT). Frankly, it can get a bit confusing – so how do you know the best way to 'do' an evaluation? Especially if you're working in social innovation. The answer is that there is no 'best' way. more >
How do you make a masterplan for evaluation into a reality? (If you haven't read the evaluation master plan – you're missing out - it's here.)
Part of the reason no one's cracked measuring social value is that it doesn't exist as an objective 'thing'. Value is inherently subjective, so it's no surprise that project leads, partners and funders all fight over particular measures. Really they're all just fighting over measuring what they think matters the most.

Addressing this question first means understanding the changing context of participation in employment. We drew on some research from our recent State of the Art Review on Employment and the Internet to give a sense underlying influences we should be aware of: more >
People always seem to post pictures of rulers or tape measures when they talk about evaluation, which, frankly, have to be some of the dullest objects in the world.

Comments about National Geographic Nat Geo Neoprene Socks Short:
This sock was very floppy and felt like a wet sock. I think I just got the wrong size but it fit well when dry. Not enough neoprine. Fortunately I had also ordered a pair of the Akona 2mm neoprene socks and they were awesome.

What do you use your iPad for?
From what I personally saw there were more than 500 people lining up in front of the Shibuya Apple Store during the iPad 2 launch day May 28th in Japan. Many of them had been lining up for more than 12 hours since the day before. They stayed over night, with folding chairs, sleeping bags and cushions, not even the cold weather and rain sent them home! This was how badly people wanted the iPad 2 in Japan. I wouldn't even call that macfans, but mac junkies!
Why would these people want an iPad so badly?
So last March Admob a mobile advertising company acquired by Google released some interesting research results about the tablet pc aka the iPad. Most of the results were based on the iPad since this tablet has 85% of the market share.
From the study I was not surprised to see that the vast majority of users use the iPad for, guess what, gaming!! 84% of the tablet users are just using it to play. On the other hand another result concluded that 59% of the respondents spend more time each day on their tablet than, guess what, reading a paper book. Well at least some users are saving some paper.
Here is the breakdown of the iPad usage:
- Playing games 84%
- Searching for information 78%
- Emailing 74%
- Reading the news 61%
- Accessing a social network56%
- Consuming entertainment 51%
- Reading ebooks 46%
- Shopping online 42%
- Other 19%
On the other hand from another study from what the App market shows games are on the 1st place with 58% of the store downloads. Supply and demand clearly shows that games are the most profitable applications because they have the biggest market. And most of these games are puzzles, action and adventure software. If you ask me what I think about games, I would say its just a waste of time. I have been there, with the PS, Nintendo and iPhone. All I can say, I could have used my money and time better. Anyways some people might say that games contribute to developing certain skills, however I might disagree to some point.
With more than 20 million iPads since its launch and hundreds of millions of iPhones out there, the gaming market is huge, I just wonder how many of those games are really productive.

I'm a woman who owns a bike to suit her every mood: from dressing up for work on my Dutch bike, to carving down hills on my road bike, to hauling groceries across town on my errand bike, to cruising the trails on my custom mountain bike, to mixing it up racing cyclocross. How many bikes would that be? Well, let's just say that I have one for every day of the week, and if it's more than that I'm not claiming it.
A native of Louisiana, I now live in the San Francisco Bay Area, where I'm blessed with good weather, interesting terrain and a tolerance for eccentricity that suits me just fine.
Quick facts about this blog
All photos were shot on my trusty iPhone 4 by me, with a few exceptions: all fashion photos where I'm the subject were shot by my husband Dick; trail or roadside photos where I'm in the shot are usually taken by friends or random strangers.

The political right propaganda machine doesn't only make outrageous claims unfounded in reality. Much of their efficacy comes from what they don't say. Legitimacy is often given arguments of false equivalence by failure to point out that some arguments presented to the public just don't have two sides.
Examples of this phenomenon include giving Creationism equal footing with Natural Selection. One is science based on over one hundred fifty years of observation of nature subject to rigorous testing and retesting. The other is a set of opinions bolstered by false authority in superstition and magical thinking. One is based on interpretation of reality based fact; the other is founded on guesswork opinions and suppositions, tradition and hearsay.
Rightwash campaigns redefine reality for political gain. The recent debt ceiling crisis is a case in point. The facts are that the government has to take short term loans and issue government bonds to meet obligations made long since by Congress. Congress has routinely held its nose and raised its self imposed borrowing limits regardless of economic circumstances because the full faith and credit of the government is an issue very different from budgets, entitlements, pork barrel spending and fiscal responsibility.
Cutting government spending wholesale leads to lost government jobs. It is the worst thing you can do in a recession. Fewer government jobs means less money circulating in the economy which lowers consumer demands which leads to less manufacturing, product transport and private sector jobs. It's a real domino effect. Delaying guarantees of government debt services erodes bankers' confidence in getting their capital repaid. This uncertainty forces a rise in interest rates which, in this instance, is costing this government $1.7 Billion more than had raising the debt ceiling two weeks earlier would have. That's 57,000 teachers, police and fire-fighters. Gone. For nothing. Into the pockets of bankers, the very people who created the financial meltdown we're in the middle of and from which we're trying so desperately to recover. How many miles of highway repair, bridges built or renewable energy infrastructure now languishes even further out of reach? Where is the fiscal responsibility in that? Who among the Republican Tea Party Caucus is crowing about how bravely they've cost their children and grandchildren an extra one thousand, seven hundred million dollars in interest to prove how short sighted their obstructionist intransigence has been? Where is the virtue in that?
These issues go on and on: Elevating the administrative infraction of undocumented foreigners to the status of a crime, ignoring undocumented residents' contributions to society, the taxes they pay, and the levels of undocumented immigration rates at the lowest it's been for decades. Just ask the Georgia farmers whose crops have rotted in the field because punitively draconian, Republican rhetoric driven, xenophobic laws created catastrophic farm worker shortages. How's that helping the economy? Who is going to help out those farmers with their spoiled crops and their families' devastated finances?
The culture wars are manufactured crises brought to bear by myopic, perennial malcontents who would reshape America into a mythical Leave-It-to-Beaver utopia, where mom stays home to wash the breakfast dishes in her smart suit and sensible pearls, the kids go to school to learn life's lessons to the extend appropriate for instruction outside the home, free from imposed sex education, social equality for gays or integration of minorities, and without proscriptions from enforcing uniform declarations of the superiority of "our" faith on the one hand, or the formation of medieval style feudal dystopia run by a divinely entitled few who lord effective ownership of the voiceless many by controlling every aspect of their lives to better extract wealth from the sweat of their brow and the strain on their backs.
That's about the size of it from the perspective of the erstwhile Conservative populists who populate political rallies, man the phone banks, and fill their churches, and the wealthy, self entitled elite who bankroll and call the shots behind the curtain of ersatz grassroots PACs.
It's been over thirty years of setting the stage that allows so many to substitute reality for opinion and replace fact with assertion. Americans have long been trained to accept without question the authority of God and the interpretation by select exponents of that message's meaning. Even if you don't' agree with the interpretations by the pastor down the block, you just don't speak up because that would be disrespectful of their faith and injurious of their freedom to worship. Religious tolerance.
Conservatives have taken this armour against critique by bringing evangelicals and their organized blocks of votes to bear. Imposition of their godly edicts upon the entire population is the price of their support of rampant corporate deregulation, special tax breaks and the lowest tax rates for the wealthy in over half a century, that low taxes increase Treasury revenue and stimulates job creation. Add the manufactured cultural issues that service undermining women's reproductive rights, demonized government service workers, teachers unions and the social safety net, painting immigrants – the basic foundational element of our population – and gays as a threat to marriage, family, children and democracy. What we end up with is the black-is-white, up-is-down, progress-is-devil's-work delusion of current American conservatism: Rightwash.
It's all about redefining perceptions of reality to conform to false declarations based on hearsay, unsubstantiated opinion, non-provable assertions and outright fabrications. The goal is to keep the most gullible and the undecided electorate scared and angry with distractions built to confuse attention away from those grabbing money and power. There are many, many issues to choose from. Let's examine one of the most emotionally irrational and easily manipulated issues, the denial of gay rights equality and destruction of homosexuals' full citizenship.
It's not only what they say, it's what they don't say.
The right maintains that same sex headed households harm children. Some cite studies that say children fare better when reared in a home led by both a mother and a father. What they don't' say is that the study they cite compared two parent households with single parent households. They don't mention that none of the families in the study were same sex couple families. Rightwash.
Recently, Focus on the Family spokesman Tom Minnery spoke at a Congressional hearing citing a Dept. of Health and Human Services study in support of theDefence of Marriage Act. The study said that children fare better in a family where the parents are married and all the children are either biological or legally adopted. Minnery wanted to say that the study proves only heterosexual parented families work well. What he didn't say is that the study didn't differentiate between opposite sex headed families and same sex headed families. What he didn't say is that the study actually indicates children born to or adopted in a same sex couple headed family enjoy the same securities and benefits as their opposite sex parented counterparts. That's exactly opposite to what Minnery would have had the Senate inquiry believe. Rightwash.
According to the blog, Antigay Lies and Liars, "The following researchers, physicians, and Ph.D.s have complained about how the anti-gay industry has misused their work:
A. Nicholas Groth, along with other psychologists cited among anti-gay assertions, charged Paul Cameron, the disgraced anti-gay junk scientist, with distortions of their work Upon subsequent investigation, the American Psychological Association and other mental health professional societies have expelled, repudiated or condemned Cameron for misrepresentation of others' work and use of unsound methods in his own studies. October 1994. Undaunted by scientific consensus, anti-gay groups continue to cite Cameron's fraudulent work in support of their narratives. |
Robert S. Hogg,Stefan A. Strathdee, Kevin J.P. Craib, Michael V. Shaughnessy, Julio Montaner, and Martin T. Schehter, the six researchers of a Canadian study published in the International Journal of Epidemiology on the gay and bisexual life expectancy in w:st="on">Vancouver in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Their claim is the paper has been misrepresented by"homophobic groups [that] appear more interested in restricting the human rights of gay and bisexuals rather than promoting their health |
Dr. Robert Garofalo (see Gays as Diseased) complained an anti-LGBT ad campaign citing his work was a "a complete misrepresentation" of his research regarding high-risk behavior, including substance abuse, leading to suicide. Anti-gay groups claimed the death came from the corruption of homosexuality itself rather than from the alienation gay teens confront in a "culture that is often unaccepting" which Garofalo described as "the complete opposite conclusion of what the paper actually concluded."
Lisa Waldner, repudiated (p. 15) the Family Research Council's mischaracterization of her non-scientific, out-of-date, study, made as an undergrad student, on Gay and Lesbian sexual practices within a non-random, closed circle of friends among her acquaintances. |
Patrick Letellier, whose unscientific research on gay domestic violence was cherry picked by Gary Glenn of the American Family Association of Michigan, ignoring a dozen years of subsequent, actual scientific research finding contrary conclusions. "Culture and Family Institute and Focus on the Family resurrected Glenn's fabrications and rebroadcast them as evidence that hate crimes are committed by homosexuals against homosexuals, not by gay-bashers. [Gary Glenn is considering a Republican Senate challenge of Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI)] |
Dr. Kyle Pruett, of the Yale School of Medicine, declared James C. Dobson, the Focus on the Family leader, "cherry picked" his work. |
Dr. Joanne Hall (citation 2b), complained of the distorted findings of her 35 subject study as a 'fact sheet' regarding the fabricated dangers of gay adoption, rather than "the description of health care interaction and patterns of perception by Lesbians already in recovery" based on anecdotal evidence. (section 6, pp.17) |
Dr. Elizabeth Saewyc, Associate Professor at the University of British Columbia, stated on national Canadian TV that her research into teen Lesbian suicide "has been hijacked for somebody's political purposes or ideological purposes and that's worrisome" and "she was "baffled" by the conclusions the organization drew from her research … which showed that lesbian teenagers were more likely to attempt suicide. Reacting to survey results, Focus on the Family blamed the very people trying to help teens enter a more accepting society. June 2006 |
Carol Gilligan, PhD repudiated Focus on the Family leader, James C. Dobson, for misrepresenting her research in Time Magazine, Dec 2006 |
Dr. Robert Spitzer, Professor of Psychiatry, w:st="on">Columbia University, complained right wing groups, particularly Focus on the Family, misrepresented his work on reconversion therapy. February 2007
Dr. Francis Collins, refuted statements made by Greg Quinlan, working with the New Jersey Policy Council in an interview published by American Family Association's One News Now website, attributing noted geneticist Francis S. Collins as untrue — including descriptions of Collins's work on the human genome project to indicate, and subsequently claimed as fact, that homosexuality derives with absolutely no genetic component and is 100% nurture. September 2008 |
Gary Remafedi, professor of pediatrics at University of Minnesota, accused Parents and Friends of eXgays (PFOX) of manipulating and misrepresenting his research, demanding PFOX immediately remove his study from their website. July, 2008 |
Professor Michael King, responded to Box Turtle Bulletin when asked about an article by Kathleen Gilbert on two anti-gay websites, LifeSiteNews and the American Family Association that cited Dr. King's work but left "little resemblance between it and the claims of AFA and LSN," actually drawing conclusions opposite from Dr. King's findings. September 2008 |
Professor Lisa Diamond, Associate Professor of Psychology and Gender Studies University of Utah, called out the National Association of Research & Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH) for "willful misuse and distortion of my research. Not an academic disagreement. Not a slight shading of the truth. It's wilful distortion. And, it's illegitimate and it's irresponsible and you know that. And you should stop." November 2008 |
Judith Stacey, Professor of Sociology , New York University, , via SoulForce produced YouTube video describing misrepresentation of her research, with Dr. Timothy Biblarz, into Lesbian and gay parenting by Focus on the Family's James Dobson |
Angela Phillips, wrote to Focus on the Family leader, James C. Dobson for "seriously misrepresenting" her work "The Trouble With Boys," asking him to "prominently" publish her letter on Focus on the Family's website, December 2006 |
Professors, Ron Stall, and Ronald O. Valdiserri, authors with Richard J. Wolitski of the book Unequal Opportunity: Health Disparities Affecting Gay and Bisexual Men in the United States Cited multiple instances where Exodus International and Focus on the Family, on their web magazine CitizenLink authored by Jeff Johnson "misrepresented findings in the book to suggest that childhood sexual abuse causes male homosexuality" as "inaccurate and, in our opinion, a distortion of the scientific literature." June 2009
This is but an abbreviated list of characters who abuse reality based on ideology and advancing their political cause regardless of contrary proof or reason. The most prolific among these reality distorters above are James Dobson of Focus on the Family (Family Radio Network) and the American Family Association that publishes the reactionary One News Now and broadcasts Bryan Fischer's Focal Point radio show. But, they're by no means solitary players. They work toward common cause with dozens of other organizations, ideologues and politicians.
This past weekend, Gov. Rick Perry held his The Response prayer rally of which Dobson was an honorary co- chair, along with Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council, another rabidly anti-gay group, The Family Research Institute (Paul Cameron), The Family Research Council (Tony Perkins), Americans for Truth about Homosexuality (Peter LaBarbera) and the American Family Association (Bryan Fischer) are all designated hate groups by the Southern Poverty Law Center based on criteria that includes "… beliefs or practices that attack or malign an entire class of people, typically for immutable characteristics." Hate group activities run the gamut among speeches, marches, rallies, meetings, published materials and distribution, and criminal acts such as violence, though, according to the SPLC, not all groups on their hate groups list go so far as to employ criminal activity.
DavidBarton, the revisionist, self-identified expert, pseudo-historian, founder of WallBuilders, consulting designer of history school books in Texas and California, embraces Seven Mountains theology, also known as the Dominion Mandate, Dominion Imperative and several other similar monikers. This movement's eschatology blueprints the Christian fundamentalist evangelical takeover of the seven structures that define and drive western culture:
In their own words here, and here, and some relevant moderate commentary here, with sceptical critique here and here.
The last few years has seen an upsurge of Dominionists raising their heads out of the shadows to merge openly Religious Right politics with Dominionist theology. Among them are the Family Research Council's Tony Perkins at its center, Lou Engle, founder and president of the Call to Conscience, Rick Joyner of the Oak Initiative, Jerry Boykin, Janet Porter, and Frank Turek. According to Right Wing Watch, Joyner, Boykin, Turek and Perkins have already joined in calling for Christians become more involved in (read: take over all levels of) politics. They claim biblical commands to recover "all that we've lost…in a fellowship called 300…We have enough people… This country has a Judeo-Christian heritage … that is being robbed from us… We are retreating no further."
The likes of Reps. Michele Bachman (R-MN), Randy Forbes (R-VA), Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC), Gov. Sam Brownback (R-KS) have joined for events with open Dominionists Lou Engle (The Call, International House of Prayer), Tony Perkins (Family Research Council), Jim Garlow (Skyline Church pastor) and Harry Jackson (High Impact Leadership Council) in December 2009 for a "prayercast" seeking supernatural intervention, as organized by the Family Research Council, against passage of the Affordable Healthcare Act. Many among this group were speakers at Rick Perry's The Response gathering last weekend. Huckabee, who would force Americans to listen to historical revisionist David Barton at gunpoint, first embraced Dominionists and then backed off when he got some heat for it.
These people aren't messing around. They won't be happy until they've "returned" to a feudal holy theocracy where everyone is forced to at least pretend to agree with their delusions of the supernatural and their attendant superiority. You have seen relatively minor examples documented above how these people will create whichever narrative they wish to force false equivalencies upon fabricated issues injected into the public square. They have advanced by bullying the most vulnerable, marginalized groups such as immigrants, (poor) women and pseudo-Americans such as liberals, apostates, blasphemers, Muslims and any other non-apostolic/non-evangelical believers/dissidents/non-believers, non-English speaking naturalized immigrants, and everybody else they say are unworthy of the benefits of living in America. They currently focus especially on (inherently corrupt and evil, undeserving, abominable, unsympathetic and just plain ickey) gay Americans to stifle diversity, eliminate equity and fairness and crush dissent. These are true believers who ignore history, dismiss reality and actively seek to undermine the Constitution whenever and wherever it's convenient. They are organized and are rallying to create a theocratic Dominion. They actively collude with politicians and corporations to hoard money, amass influence over the populace and grab power. They have corporate backing and deep pockets. They must be called out and exposed at every turn. What they're not telling you is that you would be left without a choice: Rightwash.

545 AGUS74 KFWR 201555 HMDFWR HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE...WEST GULF RFC...FORT WORTH TX 1054 AM CDT MON MAY 20 2013 VALID MAY 20 THROUGH MAY 25 ...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN IN THE PICTURE THROUGH THE WEEKEND... ...METEOROLOGICAL DISCUSSION... A well advertised upper level storm over the Central Plains will gradually slide east and weaken over the next several days. The broad upper level trough of low pressure over the WGRFC area will also move east, and a weak upper level ridge will build into the region by Wednesday. These features will aid in the development of showers and thunderstorms. A well defined dry line over West Texas will push east throughout the day Monday. This dry line could provide enough lift, enhanced by peak daytime heating, to generate thunderstorms. A subtle change Tuesday could lead to a significant rain event for Texas later Tuesday into Wednesday. A strong upper level disturbance associated with the trough is expected to cross Texas late Tuesday. With ample moisture in place, an organized complex of thunderstorms is possible. Locally heavy rainfall is possible for the central portions of the Brazos River north and east toward the Sabine River. Meteorological models have contine to show a similar scenario for the same area for four consecutive days, adding to the confidence in this forecast. At this time, the upper level trough will weaken as it slides further east. Precipitation is expected to linger over East Texas and the Texas Coast Wednesday and Thursday. Thunderstorm activity will eventually shift back north and west from the Panhandle south to the Big Bend Thursday as another strong storm system is expected to move into the Pacific Coast Thursday. Thunderstorm chances will remain in place into the weekend. We will continue to monitor and will update accordingly. ...PRECIPITATION FORECAST... For Today into Tuesday morning, Mean Areal Precipitation (MAP) amounts of 0.25 inch or less are forecast for North Central and Central Texas. For Tuesday into Wednesday morning, MAP amounts of 1.50 to 2 inches are forecast for East Texas. MAP amounts of 0.50 to 1 inch are forecast for the remainder of Texas east of U.S. Highway 281 and north of Interstate 10. MAP amounts of 0.25 inch or less are forecast for the remainder of Texas east of a Wichita Falls to Del Rio line. Lighter MAP amounts are possible for Southern Colorado. For Wednesday into Thursday morning, MAP amounts of 0.25 inch or less are forecast for Southeast Texas and the Texas coasts. For Thursday into Saturday morning, MAP amounts of 0.25 to 0.50 inch are forecast for the Texas Panhandle south to the Rolling Plains and the Big Bend area. Lighter MAP amounts are expected for the remainder of the WGRFC area. The ongoing drought remains entrenched across the entire WGRFC area. About 68 percent of Texas remains in severe drought, or worse. In New Mexico, drought conditions are even more widespread, with nearly 97 percent of the state in severe to exceptional drought. Localized runoff is possible in the stronger thunderstorms. Widespread significant runoff is possible late Tuesday and Wednesday for parts of Central and East Texas. Mainstem river flooding is possible in the heavier rainfall. Widespread river flooding is not expected. ...HYDROLOGIC DISCUSSION... ...WGRFC Basins... All WGRFC forecast points are currently below criteria. No significant flooding is expected over the next 5 days. ...SUPPLEMENTARY GRAPHICAL INFORMATION... The following URLs (all lower case) provide additional graphical information on current and forecast hydrologic conditions, past and future precipitation, and drought and climate forecasts.

Here is my situation.
I saw the tournament and I initially wanted to go. But after thinking about it, that might be the wrong choice.
I started playing on pad in June. I have no accuracy and I know I will get crushed in a tournament setting (Im not planning on winning or anything). I can only pass 15s and I dont score well, so I see myself losing early. This would be an 8 hour drive to the tournament. I dont know very many players in my area and I would most likely be traveling by myself, unless one of my friends who doesnt play itg wants to accompany me. I am not going to meet up with itg players from the forums either.
So, why would I even go to this? Well, I have been wanting to go to a tournament and this is a big itg event (right?). I thought it would be neat to see some good players in person and there is no guarantee that there will be a FRVII next year.
Ultimately, I think that I should go to some smaller events and not attend FR. Thoughts?

Customer Reviews
Having been a nitro person for years I decided to try Electric Flight. Knowing nothing about Electric I asked fellow club members for advise. One of them pointed me to Progressive for charging needs. As I am running 4400 mHa 6s 30C batteries I needed a strong charger. When contacting Progressive I explained my experience level & needs to them. They suggested the Tailor Made Combo.
After reviewing it I went with the Power Lab 6 and the 1000 Watt PS. I also added a Parallel board, USB connection & EC-5 connectors. It arrive very quickly and I was impressed as it was all wired and ready to go. All plug & Play. My only issue was that my balance leads were short and hooking to the balance board was difficult. This was no problem as again Progressive had what i needed. I ordered balance extensions 2 to a pack as well as charge extensions and I now have what I need to charge 6 batteries at a time. As this is a large purchase It is nice to purchase from an AMERICAN company where I can turn to for all future needs and warranty if needed, and not have to worry about it. You get what you pay for, but doing it right the first time saves money down the road. Thank you Progressive - I am new to electric flight and was told about this site after talking with club members. I am using 6S 4400 mHa batteries and wanted a large charger. I called Progressive and they suggested the Taylor Made Combo after defining my needs. Went with the PL 6 & 1000 watt PS. Could not have asked for a better choice. I also purchased a Parallel board & USB Interface and EC-5 connectors. They arrived already wired ready to go very nice touch. Very happy with purchase. Only problem I encountered was hooking up the batteries to the Parallel Board my pack leads were very short. Being new to Electric this was no problem I just ordered Balance lead extensions and Charge lead extensions from the web site, Nice to see the balance leads come two to a pack. I am now completely set up to change my fleet to electric power any and meet any future need I might have. I highly recommend progressive. You get what you pay for. Nice to deal with an American company and have a warranty with the product.
- Upgrading the power supply to 1000w caused a little glitch in the packing slip and the combo arrived with wrong cables. However, corrected cables arrived a few days later. PL6 charger with 1000w power supply is kick butt, fast and solid. I highly recommend the optional USB cable for use with the free software. Configuring custom presets and customizing charge options with the software is a breeze. I will buy from progressive again.
Still do not have the correct components from the Combo.
