Atlassian Sourcetree is a free Git and Mercurial client for Mac.
The current Python avro package is packed with features but dog slow.
On a test case of about 10K records, it takes about 14sec to iterate over all of them. In comparison the JAVA avro SDK does it in about 1.9sec.
fastavro is less feature complete than avro, however it's much faster. It iterates over the same 10K records in 2.9sec, and if you use it with PyPy it'll do it in 1.5sec (to be fair, the JAVA benchmark is doing some extra JSON encoding/decoding).
If the optional C extension (generated by Cython) is available, then fastavro will be even faster. For the same 10K records it'll run in about 1.7sec.
import fastavro as avro with open('weather.avro', 'rb') as fo: reader = avro.reader(fo) schema = reader.schema for record in reader: process_record(record)
You can also use the fastavro script from the command line to dump avro files. Each record will be dumped to standard output in one line of JSON.
fastavro weather.avro
You can also dump the avro schema:
fastavro --schema weather.avro
- Support only iteration
- No writing for you!
- No reader schema
As recommended by Cython, the C files output is distributed. This has the advantage that the end user does not need to have Cython installed. However it means that every time you change fastavro/pyfastavro.py you need to run make.
For make to succeed you need both python and python3 installed, cython on both of them. For ./test-install.sh you'll need virtualenv.
We're currently using travis.ci

Hickory Ridge Living History Museum
Hickory Ridge Living History Museum • The Mountains of North Carolina are rich in history. The Cherokee Indians, Daniel Boone and other early explorers and settlers are an important part of the history of our country. At the Hickory Ridge Living History Museum you can learn what life was like in the 1700s as our country was formed and expanded.
Hickory Ridge Living History Museum is located on the grounds of Horn in the West, the nation's oldest Revolutionary War drama, in Boone, North Carolina. Hickory Ridge Living History Museum was created in 1980 to foster a better understanding of the life of the settlers in the Horn in the West outdoor drama.
Staffed with interpreters in period clothing, the 18th century homestead gives visitors a glimpse into the past and a feeling for the daily lives of early mountain settlers including how they lived, and what constituted a 'typical' mountain homestead.
The museum also provides insight into the self sufficiency of our forefathers by showing the routines and skills they possessed such as hearthside cooking, weaving, making candles, spinning, blacksmithing, etc.
The museum strives to recreate the atmosphere of a small mountain community around the time of the Revolutionary War when furnishings were sparse but the family was diverse with its religion, humor, and self sufficiency, creating a warm atmosphere. The Museum also features a number of special events each year.
Horn in the West and Hickory Ridge Living History Museum are productions of the Southern Appalachian Historical Association Inc. (S.A.H.A.). It is supported by the town of Boone and over 1,000 local business in various ways. S.A.H.A is responsible for the continuation of the Horn in the West, Hickory Ridge Living History Museum, and related productions and events .
The Southern Appalachian Historical Association Records at The Appalachian State University Library include SAHA's administrative papers, correspondence, brochures, souvenir programs, newspaper and magazine articles, photographs, and films relating to the organization, regional history, and the play, "Horn in the West."
Also included are materials relating to the establishment of Daniel Boone Native Gardens, The Daniel Boone Trail, Overmountain, and Buffalo Trails, research into Appalachian people and culture, Daniel Boone and his descendants, other productions at the Powderhorn Theater and Daniel Boone Amphitheater, and materials relating to Hickory Ridge Homestead and the museum's holdings.
The William Leonard Eury Appalachian Collection at ASU's Belk Library is a repository with more than 44,000 volumes of books, over 200 periodical subscriptions, 8,000 sound recordings, and 1,500 videos and DVDs related to the Southern uplands, with strengths in the social sciences, regional history, folklore, music, religion, genealogy, fiction, and African and Native Appalachia.

|Jalapeno Bootyhole: kind of a creepy dude
hi! i'm crayoncakes, I was in a thing a while back where a bunch of people were "hired" to create content for the game for ~real life money~. I left because JB liked to make ~hilarious joekz~ because I was the only woman on the team and the chat set up for us had too many creepy enjoy jokes for my taste. oh, and literally the only voice bits they had planned for women were porno ****! but this topic isn't about that, it's about how hilarious he got after I left.
long boring suck up email, you might wanna skip this, mostly here so you can compare and contrast~
Hey crayoncakes,
I was kind of ****ed about having to leave a job thing because other people were ****ty so I left a sarcastic message asking to just be removed from stuff and he got hella ****y
Actually, "embarrbuming" is sending a long, suck-up apology email to someone and instead of receiving a cursory acknowledgment in return, being notified of a post like yours by the rest of my team.
****ing ****, i sent you an apology and you didn't tell me it was all okay now? how fukken dar u
I signed on today to unsubscribe from the ad I got today and found this
With your flat, hurried diction and lack of punctuation, it was hard to tell whether you were joking or not. So I took you at your word.
so with the scribd thing i'm pretty sure he wanted this all posted so here ya go
Oh, also a few months after I had left the site I found he has subscribed to an old twitter of mine, so I guess he kinda stalked me too?
so good work makin women feel welcome on your site bro

A lot of this is ancient history, but I may as well offer my side of the story.
I agree that I shouldn't have expected crayoncakes to accept my admittedly tl;dr apology. I was more upset that she later posted what I thought was a confidential exchange on Flamebate, and then again on scribd once we removed it — to be honest, I don't even remember what it was. But that explains my last Tubmail, which I sent nearly three years ago.
The whole part about removing her from Google Docs was from something she posted in the Creative Sweatshop:
crayoncakes Posted:
She later said she was just joking, but I had no idea at the time!
To address a couple of other things, I should point that crayoncakes was not the only female member of the creative team. We can't forget plk (who won the Apprentice contest), Odalisque and spacekadt.
The "porno" voice thing was just something one of the writers drafted for the character Thinderella on a whim. Everyone agreed it was lame and inappropriate, and it never made it into the game.
Finally, I'll point out that it's been a long time since crayoncakes was around, but since then we've tried to learn from our mistakes and make Forumwarz's ~hilarious joekz~ more inclusive with our Emasculation contest. And I think we did a pretty good job.
Anyway, I'm still sorry that you had such a negative experience here. And now that it's out there, I'm sorry for calling you a douche. That was very immature of me.

Josh49421 needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 56 designs submitted by 18 freelance designers.
Sportce.com is a startup based out of NYC which is aiming to capture a massive national sports crazed audience. Sports is the most impassioned topic in the US and with online video now being viewed by well over 180 Million Americans every month, a real online television network seems to be in order. Accordingly Sportce Inc. has recently built a state of the art Television Studio facilities in its headquarters and is now partnering with multiple national media outlets and sports agencies to provide some of the most fresh and innovative content available anywhere on the web.
Males ages 14-45.
Sportce is looking for something creative. We've seen the typical ESPN and Hulu templated designs but we are looking for something more out of the box. You could call it maybe a hybrid of ESPN and HULU. A sports haven and an online TV network. People should come to sportce.com and at the same time feel: "Wow there is a lot to do here" and "this is pretty clean and simple to navigate".
Attached is a very basic wireframe with a basic layout idea of each page. These should be customized. They are just attached to give designers a basic understanding of the flow we want. Designers have full creative freedom and we encourage creativity.
These are the design features needed on each page(can add features):
We want it to be creative.

Tom0407 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 59 designs submitted by 30 freelance designers.
We are creating an online directory and community site for people to place adverts for selling and buying pets and need a neat, fun, simple, friendly and brandable logo designed.
My Pet Trade
We need a logo designed that fits in with our existing design for the site which I'll post here once it's online. There is currently a placeholder logo on the site which we'll be getting rid of and replacing with the winning logo from this competition hopefully.
The basic colours are blue and green and the logo must be fun and friendly as it's a community website for people who trade in pets or want information about pets and animals.
- Main logo text of: My Pet Trade
- Tagline of: A place for pets
- something fun
- simple
- friendly
- brandable
- anything too corporate or grown up

Play as the Pope's puppets in Master of Clowns, an Italian election game
February 22, 2013 12:35 PM | John Polson
Fabrizio Zagaglia and Luca Salmin worked on ragdoll fighter Master of Clowns as part of an Italian election game jam hosted by IndieVault.
The goal of the game is to grab the items, from bats to wads of cash, that loom overhead and smash your opponent with them. In Master of Clowns, the real winner doesn't appear to be any of candidates, though.
As for the jam itself, (as translated by Google) it "aims to tell (and defuse) the upcoming Italian elections through the creation of video games." There are a few other entries to try, though most seem to have a bit of Italian text to them. Urustar's The Wrong Lizard looks particularly intriguing.

The Mets welcome Carlos Beltran back to the lineup tonight after a lengthy stint and rehab assignment following knee surgery.
Beltran appeared in 14 rehab games for Single-A St. Lucie. He said he's pain free, but that's not to say he's rust free.
"I think I swung the bat well, but at the big league level it's a different story,'' Beltran said. "I do feel like I need to make adjustments. It will take me time. I don't expect to come here and rake. I just expect to come here and like I say, do my part. Being able to contribute any way I can, and I believe in that.''

Urban, 3 times more than Element ? that would make the pressure more than Nitro V1 that has about double the element bar pressure to me. Are you happy with kite otherwise ? You have Version 1 and this year its V2 ?I can get a good deal if i " pre-order" a 2013 from Anders at Nolimits. Not sure he has a 2013 test kite.Telekiter wrote:Why don´t you get a test ride? just call "Borste" down in Lomma, he is the Blade importer in Sweden.TomW wrote:whats the bar pressure like at 18 knots wind, and how is the kite behaving when depowered at top of its range ? does it maintain steering control ? is canopy solid and no jellyfishing or wing tip pulsing ?
I have the FL V1 and the bar pressure is a lot higher (like 2-3 times) then the Switch Element. I dont know if its the bar itself though because the grip is a bit slippery (very much so compared to the Switch bar!) and I´m planning to ad hockey grip tape on mine when the season beginns, just for testing.
Thanks for the info- sounds promising. I know its hard to guage bar pressure- can you compare with another kite ? I like to ride one handed a lot on my strapless surfboard, so i want to sheet and steet with one hand.
the Unibar looks good on the site- i can use it with other kites because of front line flagging and low V point on front lines.
I have never concidered this kite because it was called Fat Lady and i thought it would be FAT leading edge- But when is see design i like idea of thin LE, 3 thin struts and moderate aspect ratio.
I am also considering a Core XR2 LW 17m kite-
Problem up here is it is nearly impossible to get to test kites. So i have to go on recommendations.

Its been two weeks since the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) held its Fifth Annual Divestment Conference at
But before doing that, a little history is in order:
Three years ago, I went undercover to my first ISM conference at Ohio State on behalf of Front Page Magazine. I had to pass myself off as a leftist journalist working for Indymedia, the leftist alternative news website that the ISM frequently uses. It was my conviction then that the only way to determine what goes on inside these conferences is to attend their strategy sessions and other meetings as though I were one of the activists. At Ohio State, I had a chance to interview Adam Shapiro, a founder of the ISM, and to listen to, and observe the other major players of the ISM in action. It was Shapiro himself who told me the Palestine Solidarity Movement (PSM) is merely the name used by the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) in the United States. I was working entirely alone then in the United States with some help from David Bedein, my colleague in Jerusalem, who tracked the ISM from there.
The result of that first infiltration revealed enough information for me to go undercover yet again to one of their training sessions in Northern California. I had to do a complete makeover of my appearance because I was known by that point, disguising myself as a Pakistani by dyeing my hair, coloring my skin and changing my appearance. The outcome of that foray led to ten of the ISM volunteers being deported from Israel, one whose case went through the Israeli Supreme Court before she was finally kicked out.
Now armed with information, David Bedein and I subsequently got over 200 ISM volunteers deported or turned back from Israel. Even the Israeli government that for a while regarded the ISM as some type of fringe leftist group of starry-eyed peace activists began to see what it really is: an arm of the PLO allied and supported by U.S. anarchists and communists bent on Israels destruction and, in the long term, that of the United States also. Nevertheless, here in the United States, I was still working alone, aided, of course, by David Bedein over 10,000 miles away.
A year later the ISM conference was back at Duke University. This time I vowed to get more information and determine ways to fight this subversive group by trying to get more Jewish supporters of Israel not only to protest outside in the cold as in the past, but to go inside as I had done at the previous Ohio conference. I had already revealed that the ISM was already doing its own undercover activities in the US among Jewish organizations by drafting American anarchists of Jewish descent and even some expatriate Israelis to pose as peace activists and infiltrate Jewish organizations in America, the goal being to drive a wedge between the constant support given by American Jews for Israel. I revealed how the Birthright program, funded by Jewish philanthropists to send young Jews to Israel for an appreciation of the country, was being craftily used by the ISM to get American anarchists over to the Holy Land for free to work on behalf of the PLO.
My methods of going undercover and taking notes and photographs with hidden equipment were unorthodox. But I was inspired and personally driven by the murder of two small Israeli children, Danielle Shefi 5, and Gal Eisenman, also 5, murdered by the PLO terrorists, the kind of PLO terrorists the ISM works to shield and aid over in the West Bank.
Believe it or not, when I tried to get mainstream Jewish organizations to cooperate with me by doing the same actions, not only were some reluctant to cooperate, but they even sent out emails urging others not to cooperate with me. In addition, everything was regarded as an academic discussion on US campuses, even murdering Israeli children.
The usual response from most mainstream organizations (and still is in the case of some pro-Israel groups like Hillel) was to ignore the goings on at ISM divestment conferences in favor of educational forums that mostly only Jews attend. Part of this problem was the misperception by mainstream Jewish organizations that the ISM divestment conferences are merely exercises in freedom of speech like they claim to be, when they are actually training and strategy sessions to gather people whose purpose is to destroy Israel and, by extension, to attack the Jewish community in America and marginalize it to achieve the goals of the PLO. The anarchist wing of the movement also relies on supporting the Baath Party, the PLOs number one ally, in trying to diminish support for the War in Iraq here at home.
The ISM grew in strength by the time of the Duke Conference. At Duke University, one of the top campus administrators was actually working with them, not as an impartial host to the group, but as an active and avid supporter of their efforts. Evidence of this administrators bias was the manner he allowed the ISM to control the content on the Universitys website denying the ISMs past anti-Semitism and support for terrorism and terrorist groups at previous conferences. The administration even tried to claim there was no link between the ISM and PSM and that they were separate entities, because the ISM over in Israel had already been linked to at least one bombing and other instances of assisting terrorist groups. This was the image they presented to the public; it was just another free speech conference, while, all the time, the ISM sought to gather more recruits and train people for direct actions against Israeli soldiers fighting terrorism abroad.
Another link that began to emerge was how Saudi funding to US campuses also could smooth the way for the ISM by getting campus administrators to look the other way at a group that advocated anti-Semitism and subversion even against the United States despite all evidence. Duke was the recipient of huge amounts of Saudi donations in the past, Saudi donations that the Duke administrator who covered for the ISM incredibly said he knew absolutely nothing about.
The ISM grew cocky at Duke. ISM leader and activist at Duke, Rann Bar-On, claimed the group he headed calling itself the PSM was not the ISM. Mazen Qumsiyeh, a speaker at the conference, felt confident enough to call Jews living in Israel a disease and advocating their deportation. Abe Greenhouse, an anarchist of Jewish descent, taught a seminar outlining every Jewish organization in America to infiltrate or boycott, while Ora Wise, another anarchist of Jewish descent, taught how to get into inner city classrooms with black and Latino children to teach them how to hate Israels Jews.
None of this information would have been available if some Jewish activists had not decided to follow my lead and actually go inside the divestment conference. Nevertheless, the ISM was riding high, the Duke administration praised the event and the college even today is serving as a recruiting base from where ISM volunteers are recruited to assist terrorist groups.
But Duke is an anomaly, because the exposure of what really went on inside these conferences was having an effect elsewhere because ISM recruitments began to dwindle. It was determined at the Duke Conference in 2004 to hold the next 2005 yearly conference at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, the home base for Fayyad Sbaihat, the former chief spokesman for the PSM/ISM in the USA and some of his lieutenants like Mohammed Abed and Nabil Abufhara of the Alternative Palestinian Agenda. That conference never happened. The reason most likely was the Chancellor of U Wisconsin at Madison, John Duncan Wiley, who was appointed to a special FBI commission of college presidents to take a hard look at how U.S. campuses were being used by our enemies in the War on Terror. In all likelihood, Wiley did not feel comfortable hosting an event for an organization that behind closed doors advocates for terrorist groups and refuses to condemn terrorism in its popular slogans.
Despite the ISMs cozy relationship with the Duke administration at the 2004 conference, that campus had endured enough flack from the alumni and media not to want too much repeat exposure with the ISM and now other colleges like Wisconsin were leery. Another college location was needed and fast, especially since 2005 had no yearly divestment conference at all.
Georgetown was perfect for the ISMs national training conference. Its prominent Middle East studies professor, John Esposito, was funded by a wealthy Palestinian benefactor and had sway on campus. But more than that, Georgetown just received a $20 million dollar grant from Alwaleed Bin Talal, the Saudi philanthropist to whom Rudy Giuliani handed back a $10 million check after 9/11. Bin Talal also funds Hamas.
The omnipresent Saudis were in the background at Georgetown just as they were at Duke University. Georgetown President John DeGioia emulated his administrative peers at Duke by disingenuously describing Bin Talal as just a philanthropist to a Georgetown student who asked him why the campus would accept money from a Hamas financier.
Georgetowns own policy regarding free speech and expression was thrown out the window by the Washington-based colleges administration to facilitate a fifth annual conference for the ISM, a policy that would have precluded such an event based on its ethnic attacks on Jews in America and abroad, as well as advocacy for a boycott of Israel that is illegal by US law.
Just before the Georgetown conference, the Palestine solidarity website boasted that one training seminar would now include as guest speaker a Dean from a mid-west college who would teach how to get college administrators to become a part of the ISM. Clearly this had been done at Duke, and the Georgetown administration would also prove to be more than an impartial host when the conference began in 2006, as I will be shown. The seminar apparently never took place and the announcement was removed from the conferences website when I began writing about it before the actual conference itself.
But Georgetown ultimately embarrassed itself by its conduct at the Fifth Annual Divestment Conference last February, because the administrations collusion with the PSM/ISM would manifest itself in many waysthis time including violence. And the ISM showed, despite its putting up a good façade, that it is losing ground in America, although I must admit they are only down but not out. Hopefully the revelations in this article will help to take them off of US campuses for good.
The Georgetown conference had several new things going against it this year as it strived to bounce back after the Wisconsin cancellation. For starters, some Jewish organizations in America finally began to wake up and proactively meet this subversive movement head on. Hillel did very little as usual. One of its student leaders praised the PSM conference and welcomed the PSM conference to Georgetown as an example of freedom of speech parroting the campus administration. In fact, Hillel does not understand that these conferences are not academic exercises that discuss mere ideas, but are, in fact, training events to subvert a democratic ally of the US and destroy it as a prelude eventually to going after the US government itself.
Israel is the canary in the mine for the American Anarchist Movement as was so aptly explained by Abe Greenhouse, an ISM leader at the Duke University conference. Hillel operates as an adjunct part of campuses across America and operates like a business, so it does not want to tick off college administrators who can remove on-campus privileges. It is doubtful it will ever take a proactive approach to the ISM on US college campuses.
But other Jewish groups for the first time began to see what the Georgetown conference really was: an attack on Jews worldwide and the means by which to train others to assist in that attack. One such group was the Jewish Defense League. I thought the JDL no longer existed after the deaths of Meir Kahane, Irv Rubin and Earl Kruegel. Apparently the group resurrected itself again, this time as a pro-active Jewish support organization. The JDL stepped up to the plate at Georgetown apparently advising the administration that its membership intended to be present at an event designed to harm Jews.
The JDL was not alone, however. In New York, some Russian Jewish groups, ex-Soviet Jews who had known persecution in their former homeland as Jews also organized with the help of the JDL. At least three busloads of Jews came from as far away as New York to protest openly the event. Georgetown reacted to this by barring the entrance to the open dialogue event to many Jews who attempted to go in and register. Some America Jews were literally barred from attending an event that Georgetown touted as preserving American values of free speech and open dialogue.
Still more young Jews showed up from George Washington University to loudly protest an event that they understood the true purpose of: the boycotting and divestment of Jews elsewhere in the world to starve them out or kill them.
Members of my Stop the ISM group also attended undercover. And even one Jewish activist group from the west coast that at one time discouraged Jews to go in and spy on the proceedings was now present as well inside gathering information.
And Christians who support Israel also showed up which was one of the most important things, since the Georgetown conference would take a new tack for the ISM: recruiting churches in America to boycott Israel. The Walid Shoebat Foundation brought Tariq Hamid, a former Al Qaeda #2 man under Ayman al-Zawahiri to the GU campus to speak out against Muslim persecution of Jews and women and the misuse of the Koran. When Hamid spoke of the right for Jews to live in peace in the Middle East as something that should no longer be opposed by Muslims, the campus Students for Justice in Palestine, the divestment conference sponsors, walked out on him. But other Georgetown students who attended that evening and had been earlier subjected to relentless campaigns against America and Israel on campus perked up their ears and listened attentively, giving Hamid a standing ovation.
The presence of these people, Jewish and Christian supporters of Israel, served to reveal the true nature behind an event that was trying to pass itself off as just another academic conference. And one thing that also happened was Georgetown was forced to show its hand as administrative staff became enforcers for the ISM far more abusive and physically violent than any of the ISM attendees or organizers themselves. The collusion between the campus administration and the ISM organizers was more than apparent.
I had appeared on the Fox cable news show the OReilly Factor just a week prior to the Georgetown divestment conference opposite Dr. Daniel Porterfield, the Vice President for Public Affairs at GU, to clarify for most Americans what the ISM really is. The interview was short and sweet, with about three minutes given to each side. Porterfield made it a point to claim that Georgetown had contacted homeland security, the FBI and other US security agencies that allegedly had told him that the Palestine Solidarity Movement was in no way connected to terrorist groups. The truth is, US intelligence agencies would never tell someone who is or who is not involved with terrorist groups; the best these agencies might do is say they cannot find them on a terrorist watchlist.
After the broadcast, Fadi Kiblawi, one of the key organizers of the Georgetown conference, put on his own website a claim that he had spoken to OReillys producers and convinced them I was a liar, causing them to edit down my appearance on the show to the three minutes I received. Since I knew the interview was not edited as Kiblawi claimed, I asked the producer if he had even spoken to Kiblawi prior to airing and he explained he had not. The importance of this is it shows the level of lying and deception that marks the ISM leadership and its acolytes, a group that uses the motto by any means necessary to attack Israel and Jews. In three minutes on national television, I exposed a subversive organization that had been operating since 2001 posing as something it definitely was not: a peace organization seeking an end to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
When I arrived at Georgetown for the conference a week later, my first experience was going through a metal detector doorframe like at the airport, a security guard then wanding my body. I asked if they were looking for weapons, but the guard replied, no, only cameras and recorders. This has been standard operating procedure for the PSM/ISM for the last five years; metal detectors are used to prevent anyone from recording or photographing anything inside except what the ISM wants the media to photograph or record. The Georgetown administration was perfectly comfortable with this process even as they claimed the event was open and above board with access to the public and open discussion being the order of the day.
Once inside, I attended the opening press conference given by Nadeem Muaddi, the new national spokesman for the PSM/ISM who was replacing Fayyad Sbaihat of U Wisconsin Madison in that role. Muaddi is a student at Temple University in Philadelphia. Prior to the conference, Stop the ISM had received emails from someone named Chaim Sugarman who claimed to be Jewish and an avid supporter of the Divestment Conference and urged not to say negative things about it. Stop the ISMs IT guy did some tracing on the IP address of Chaim Sugarman, which led us to Nadeem Muaddis home address where he lives with his parents.
As the conference began, Muaddi praised the Georgetown venue in Washington DC as a place where society could build on previous conferences having been successful that had advocated divestment since 2001. He continued, The PSM Conference is a force to be reckoned with as a part of American social affairs and tried to equate the differences between Israelis and Palestinians as the same as in apartheid South Africa. He declared that checkpoints and the Security Fence set up to protect Israeli citizens from suicide bombings and terrorist attacks were apartheid actions that separated Palestinian from Palestinian rather than Israeli citizens, including Palestinian Israeli-Arabs, from terrorists and terrorism. He boasted that faculty bodies of the University of Wisconsin and Washington University had voted in favor of divestment while conveniently ignoring that such votes were non-binding and that neither university had, in fact, done any real divestment from Israel of any kind.
Muaddi then went on to announce enthusiastically that Just 12 days ago, the Anglican Church in Great Britain voted to divest from Israel and that this was building a momentum to join the Palestinian people until divestment against Israel would eventually become a US national movement. His co-chair, Diane Hamid from the Georgetown chapter of the Students for Justice in Palestine, then chimed in about how the goal of the conference calls into the political and cultural life of the values we are committed to as Catholic leaders by calling for divestment from Israel and then claimed that the apartheid wall was suffocating Bethlehem and was the reason the Christian population in that region was leaving.
That the leadership of the Christian population in the West Bank has repeatedly stated to the Pope that Muslim persecution is driving their population out was not mentioned. Even the new Hamas governments talking about reinstituting an Islamic poll tax on Christians played no part in her lament of Christian flight; it was all the fault of the Jews. She urged Catholic recognition of human rights as fundamental, a moral imperative that Israel not continue such racist practices and even accused Israel of wanting the land but not the natives.
Was it possible she did not know that 70% of the Palestinian Authoritys budget is paid for by Israel that also provides all the water and electrical grid to the Palestinian people, a population that has increased during the peace process, or that Israeli-Arabs consistently prefer to remain citizens of Israel rather than a new state of Palestine?
It is important to note here that her statement of Catholic obligations to support divestment from Israel almost had an official ring of endorsement by Georgetown itself at the press conference. Whereas Georgetown, founded by Jesuits, had always tried to claim it was merely hosting an event on campus the same as for any other campus club, the press packets, brochures and even press and entry badges all contained Georgetowns official logo and name on them. Past conferences did not have the official campus names on documents. In other words, this was a Georgetown endorsed event according to all documents passed out. I was to learn just how seriously Georgetown took this official stance inside the conference as the day wore on despite an earlier claim by GUs President John DeGioia that Georgetown was not in favor of divestment from Israel today.
When the floor opened to reporters, I asked a three part question: First, were the organizers aware that Fayyad Sbaihats brothers Laith and Mohammed were known terrorists in the Popular Front for the Liberation for Palestine? Second, why had Nadeem Muaddi posed on the Web as a Jewish man named Chaim Sugarman to praise the conference among Jewish groups? Finally, were the organizers aware that the Palestine Authority has on its books a law making it a death sentence to sell land to a Jew and that the Hamas charter specifies that all Jews must be expelled from all of Israel?
Muaddi began to dissemble. Perhaps he did not realize who I was because he said, The only one who has said Fayyad Sbaihats brothers are terrorists in the PFLP is Lee Kaplan, to which I replied, The information has been confirmed by Avi Dichter, the former head of Israels security services. But before I could complete the sentence, I was loudly interrupted by the campus public relations spokesman, Eric Smulson, who shouted me down with a verbal warning that I would be physically ejected for following up on my questions.
Next Muaddi denied having posed as Chaim Sugarman on the Internet, but when I offered to show him his own IP address logins, Smulson interrupted me by shouting me down and threatening to have me removed again. When Muaddi addressed the issue of a death sentence to sell land to a Jew, he simply diverted the question by saying we were there only to discuss mistreatment of Palestinians by Israelis and went into a pitch saying Every year it [the divestment movement] has grown. The Green Party supported it, the National Lawyers Guild supported it, it has grown into an international movement and now much of the US is behind it. Over 100 universities around the US from MIT to Harvard have divestment programs on their campuses.
When nobody else raised a hand, I raised mine again to ask a question: Are you aware that the divestment campaign has not succeeded? That out of all the campuses in the US over a five-year period only U Wisconsin and Wayne State managed to support divestment through non-binding resolutions and that only a miniscule number of stocks has ever been divested, if any at all, and that the whole divestment campaign has in fact been a bust? I continued, 30% of the children and the elderly go to bed hungry at night in Israel due to divestment and the illegal Arab League boycott.
Muaddi replied, Our divestment programs are not illegal. But when I replied that aiding the Arab boycott of Israel is illegal, Eric Smulson threatened me yet again by saying I am giving you a warning, sir, for speaking up. Smulson was clearly a man on a mission not to allow any follow up questions that might disprove allegations from the Conference spokespeople, no matter how big the lie might be at this open dialogue forum.
Muaddi continued by answering a question from a Jerusalem Post reporter about the PSM connections to left wing peace groups in Israel. Muaddi claimed the PSM was not part of any governmental organization and that its support for divestment was sweeping the world despite its own website stating clearly it is Palestinian-led and subject to the will of the PLO even on issues of terrorism against Israeli civilians. He repeated the canard that the ISM is a separate movement from the PSM.
I raised my hand and replied, The International Solidarity Movement is not a separate movement. I have a recording of its founder, Adam Shapiro, at the Ohio State conference, stating the PSM and ISM are the same organization. All are funded through Middle East Childrens Alliance in Berkeley. The Palsolidarity website says to make donations out to ISM USA and attending groups at this conference are named ISM-New York, ISM Washington and Norcal ISM. I concluded. The ISM has been linked to terrorism and that is why you do want the affiliation recognized.
Smulson shouted at me a last warning to have me physically ejected and with that the conference was abruptly ended.
I next moved to the main meeting at Gaston Hall where four of the conferences leaders were on a stage being monitored by Todd Olson, Georgetowns executive responsible for student affairs. I had just settled into a seat in the first row when I was approached by Mrs. Adam Shapiro, a co-founder of the ISM herself, Huwaida Arraf.
Huwaida greeted me: Mr. Kaplan, I understand you think Im a terrorist. I replied, No, Huwaida, I never said you were a terrorist in my articles, just a terrorist supporter and enabler.
Huwaida knew that I had a tape recording of her saying at the previous Duke Conference that the ISM works willingly in cooperation with terrorist groups like Islamic Jihad, Hamas and the PFLP. She confirmed this when she wrote a letter to the Washington Post just days earlier that was subsequently printed in which she admitted again working with such groups, but claiming that because she considers herself nonviolent that it is ok to do so.
She can say anything she wants about being nonviolent, but she and her followers in the ISM have confirmed they function as human shields for Palestinians who engage in terrorism. The Patriot Act is clear about not lending logistical or any other type of aid to any terrorist group. Thats enough to get her indicted if only Homeland Security would do its job. She repeated in front of me again that she works with these terrorist groups nonviolently, then complained that as a Palestinian with Israeli citizenship through her father she could not go back to the village she came from.
But, Huwaida, I replied. You were born in the United States. Besides, Arab-Israelis have equal civil rights by law in Israel and you know it. Stunned at my reply showing I knew her real history, she said, As an Arab I am discriminated against whenever I go to Israel. I replied, Huwaida you go in and out of Israel constantly for the ISM urging the end of Israel, so your claims of discrimination are just not true. Suddenly, she had to dash away.
The first guest speaker to then take the floor was Noura Erekat. Noura it seems is a professional law student at UC Berkeley and the niece of Arafats former second-in-command, Saeb Erekat. Saeb Erekat has not been in the news much lately because of his penchant for lying to the media about Israel. He was the one who claimed that the village of Jenin was completely wiped out by the Israeli army with over 500 Palestinian civilians killed when only a small area was destroyed. The death toll, even according to the PA, was only 56 killed of which 48 were armed combatants. Saeb never misses a chance to lie to the media about Israel, such as claiming just before the Disengagement that Gaza is the most densely populated area in the world when its density is no worse than the city of San Francisco.
Just days before the conference, Stop the ISM intercepted an email from Noura in which she put out a call for legal groups to mount an international legal campaign against Israels illegal occupation of Palestinian land. In that document, she made it a point to footnote the fact that by Palestinian land she meant all of Israel, even within the UN mandated 1948 borders, hardly an attempt to use the courts to adjudicate a settlement but rather to make war to annihilate the Jewish state.
Apparently, Noura learned the art of telling lies and speaking in ellipses well from her famous uncle. She railed for nearly an hour against Israel, at first lamenting that the divestment program against Israel had largely been a failure on US campuses, but that the movement to dismantle South Africa had also seemed almost lost but then was resurrected and ultimately successful. The fact that Israel is not an apartheid state being the real reason the divestment scheme is failing did not deter Noura. The professional law student at UC Berkeley began mentioning her plans of litigating Israel to death in the International Courts in the Hague in alliance with such Stalinist legal groups as the National Lawyers Guild.
Noura cited UN Resolution 3068 that dealt with South African apartheid, not Israel. Calling Israels actions a crime against humanity, she stated the resolution precluded domination of one racial group over another and cited a list of violations she accused Israel of making, including dividing the population by racial lines.
She missed pointing out that the Palestinian Authority institutes Sharia Law that do

My. Airy singer tells Philly's Motown story
by Lou Mancinelli
In 1965 the Philadelphia group The Volcanos' single, "Storm Warning," sold more than 65,000 copies throughout the city. But the singers insisted that they were robbed and cheated by their manager and saw little if any money from royalties (not unusual among early rock 'n' roll groups).
Rather, they were pent up in theaters during the day while they waited to perform at night. Some members of the group later formed The Trammps. Their song, "Disco Inferno," won a 1977 Grammy Award and was part of the soundtrack for the iconic John Travolta movie "Saturday Night Fever."
"Behind the Curtains" (Friesen Press, 2011) is a new book that tells the behind-the-scenes story of these groups and what it took for its members to succeed, written by Mt. Airy resident and founding Volcanos member, Stephen C. Kelly. It is Philadelphia's Motown story. In fact, Smokey Robinson once tried to purchase the band, a deal halted by a stubborn manager. And while the group performed at places like the Apollo Theater and the former Uptown Theater, located at Broad and Dauphin Streets in North Philly, their story is one of a workingmen's band.
Perhaps the best illustration of the group's work ethic is that after performing one night on Jerry Blavat's television show "The Discophonic Scene," in 1965, Kelly went to work the following morning at his day job.
"I had my left foot in the music industry and my right foot in 9 to 5 [work]," said Kelly, 68, about his life during the '60s with a popular touring doo-wop act. This, after Kelly got into show business because he figured he could earn money quick to pay for college.
As a kid, Kelly used to hear a singing group practice on weekends next door to his North Philadelphia home. His neighbor, Mr. Neal, told him the group planned on being famous. Sometime later, Neal, who lent Kelly's family his car to travel to Maryland, gave Kelly a 45-RPM record by the Blue Notes, the group of men Kelly heard sing in Neal's home. They recorded their song "My Hero." Kelly heard the song on the radio, saw how its dynamics made girls cry and told his mom he wanted to be a rock 'n' roll star.
In 1956, Kelly cut a single with The Superbs, a group of neighborhood boys. He entered the recording industry at the age of 13. The record did not do well, but Kelly's desire to perform thrived. In 1957 he moved with his family from West Edgley Street to 58th and Walnut Streets in West Philadelphia. He eventually formed a group with some neighborhood teens. They performed on weekends and at talent shows at their school, John Bartram High School.
In those days, their lineup featured a girl named Patricia Holte. With Holte, they won every talent show at school, but Holte's mother landed her a record deal in 1960. She left the group and went on to become the famous Patti LaBelle, one of the great soul singers of all time. That same year Kelly and a friend named Harold Wade joined the U.S. Naval Reserves. When they were honorably discharged in 1963, they began to perform again.
The group continued to evolve and underwent some member changes, as so many young bands do. Its original members were Stanly Wade (Harold's brother), Robert Jones, Sylvester Rose, Kelly and Wade. They picked up lead singer Teresa Chambers and performed under the name Terry and the Epsilons. That year they won a talent show hosted by Solomon Burke, known as the "Godfather of Soul," who was born in West Philadelphia and who died last year.
Two years later, after making their rounds at parties and record-hops around town, in 1965, the group landed its first record contract. They auditioned for representatives from Harthon Productions, signed with Arctic Records and changed their name to The Volcanos. Their hit song,"Storm Warning," was a B-side on their first recording. It was then that their tribulations began.
Their manager was a local radio disc jockey who allegedly guaranteed airtime for any artists associated with Harthon, but he kept them under his thumb. He paid each member of the group at the time $100 in royalties from the sales of "Storm Warning" and supposedly told them if they didn't like it, they could get an attorney.
"At that time we knew we had been robbed of our royalties and the books had been fixed," Kelly says. He claims that during the group's tenure with Arctic (1964-1968), the manager never bought the singers outfits they needed for performances and never paid travel expenses. Kelly says 85 percent of the time the group even booked its own gigs.
Nonetheless, the shows thrilled audiences. The Volcanos performed with the likes of the Four Tops and other Motown acts. It was always the cheering crowd that fueled the performers with energy. "When you hear the announcer say your name, and all of it sudden it happens," said Kelly, "you perform your butt off."
The tours lasted a few weeks. They went to places like the Apollo in New York and venues in Washington D.C. and Baltimore. On holidays, they might work five shows per day, and on other days, they worked three shows per day. Most of the time backstage there was only one rest room with one commode, no showers and a basin with running water. The conditions were harsh, but it was their love for singing that inspired the performers to press on.
But by 1968, it seemed The Volcanos' ship to fame was wading in shallow water. Band members decided to leave Arctic Records. Some went on to form The Trammps. The book tells their story, one studded with hits like "Disco Inferno" but not without its hardships, from domestic abuse to one member being busted for selling drugs.
Kelly himself went on to form Pretty Boy Records in 1968 and later New Day Rising Productions, affiliated with BMI, a music publisher in New York. Today, he still runs both companies. He wrote "Behind the Curtains" to share his experience and show readers what it takes to climb the stairs to success in show business before the curtain rises.
Kelly leads a comfortable life at his home in Mt. Airy with his wife, Gwendolyn, where he has three cars, including a new 2011 BMW 128i, a spa and swimming pool. (He also once ran his own swimming pool and spa business on the side.) His hobby is building model trains, and he is a member of the Chelten Hills Model Railroad Club. "None of it came from show business," Kelly insisted. "It came from hard work, 9 to 5."
During his time in the Volcanos, Kelly always worked a day job, from pumping gas to being an operating room technician and respiratory therapist at Philadelphia General Hospital (now Children's Hospital of Philadelphia). In 1968, he became a police officer under then- commissioner Frank Rizzo. Kelly suffered an injury while pursuing a robbery call in Fairmount Park that led to his being recommended by Rizzo to become an investigator with a state agency. He then worked for 31 years as a federal agent for the Department of Defense. He retired in 2003, got bored and returned to work for the Pennsylvania Control and Liquor Board before shifting to work in at Norristown State Hospital from 2005 to 2010.
And Kelly and his singing buddies still perform as The Trammps in Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey, as well as Naples, Italy; Holland and other European venues. In fact, they just performed at the Kimmel Center with Jerry Blavat on Jan. 28.
"I don't travel with the guys on all the engagements," he said. "The lead singer, Jimmy Ellis, and I are sort of retired. Now I am able to spend a little time with my spouse, friends, and family."

Farmers of Hispanic origin are a significant and growing part of U.S. agriculture, according to data from the 2002 Census of Agriculture.
The 2002 census revealed major increases not only in the number of U.S. farms operated by Hispanics, but in the value of the products produced on those farms, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS).
The number of farms with Hispanic principal operators grew 51.2 percent between 1997 and 2002, from 33,450 to 50,592. Of those farms, Hispanic women, the largest group of minority women principal operators, operated 10 percent.
"Hispanic farmers and ranchers are the largest group of minority farm operators in the United States. There are at least twice as many Hispanic farmers and ranchers as any other group of minority operators," noted NASS Administrator R. Ronald Bosecker.
Hispanic-operated farms comprised more than 20.8 million acres of farmland throughout the United States in 2002, up 23.8 percent from 16.8 million acres five years earlier. The value of agricultural products sold also grew by 39 percent, or $1.3 billion.
In 2002, Hispanic principal operators sold a total of $4.67 billion in agricultural products, including $3.07 billion in crops and $1.6 billion in livestock, poultry and their products.
NASS conducts the Census of Agriculture every five years. It is the only source of consistent, comparable and detailed agricultural data for every county in America. For the statistics reported, Hispanic operators are individuals of Spanish, Hispanic or Latino origin.
"NASS is committed to providing accurate and detailed data on all minority farms and farm operators and we are working closely with minority farm organizations to improve our outreach efforts," Bosecker said in a release dated Oct. 13.
Of the 50,592 total Hispanic-operated farms, more than a third, 17,756, were beef cattle ranching and farming operations. The second largest type of operation was "other crop farming" with 8,101. This category includes hay, peanuts, grass seed and farms where no single commodity provided the majority of the income. Third was fruit and tree nut farming with 7,739 operations.
In 2002, Texas led the nation in the number of Hispanic farm operators and acres, followed by California, New Mexico, Florida, Colorado, Oklahoma, Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Michigan.
Data from the 2002 Census of Agriculture revealed some common characteristics among Hispanic principal operators and operations. The percent of Hispanic principal operators who were full owners of the farms they operated was 72.4, and nearly all Hispanic principal operators, 92.4 percent, owned at least part of the land they operated.
More than 90 percent of Hispanic-operated farms — 45,692 — are family or individually owned, rather than partnerships or corporations. More than half of all Hispanic principal operators were between the ages of 45 and 64 years, with 63.2 percent having worked on their current farm for at least 10 years.
The 2002 Census also provided the first facts on computer and Internet use by farmers and ranchers on a county-by-county basis. Census data revealed that 33.7 percent of Hispanic-operated farms use computers for business and 41.7 percent of all Hispanic operations have access to the Internet.

The various "Occupy" movements around the world are remarkably similar. More akin to a crime spree than a political movement, the occupied zones quickly degenerate into hell-holes. A reporter from the Daily Mail joined the occupiers outside St. Paul's Cathedral under cover, and filed a report accompanied by lots of photos:
The 12th meeting of the General Assembly of the London wing of the international revolution against capitalism is not going smoothly. The first item on the agenda relates to changing the banner that fronts the sprawling camp in the piazza surrounding London's St Paul's Cathedral.
It currently reads 'Capitalism is crisis', but some demonstrators want it changed to: 'We are the 99 per cent.' Unfortunately, there is a snag. Someone has nicked the banner.
If anyone asks why I am here, my cover story is that I am demonstrating against the banks, having had to close a business as a result of their unwillingness to lend. But in the 48 hours I spend at the camp, I discover that procrastination, contradiction and confusion are pretty much par for the course—and absolutely no one asks about my reason for being there. My fellow protesters are too busy posing for the world's media, being interviewed by film crews and radio stations from around the world, and loving the attention. …
A key activity is sitting around smoking joints and knocking back lager. Complaints circulate about drunk people urinating on the steps of the cathedral and on each other's tents. It becomes clear that undisciplined behaviour is affecting the camp's image and driving some of its residents away. Among the professional protesters, those from the anarchist group Anonymous form a tight knot of tents and are distinguishable by the plastic Guy Fawkes masks they carry and sometimes wear to obscure their faces.
The only uniformity in the camp is that just about everyone, when not inhaling marijuana, smokes cigarettes (roll-ups, of course). The mornings are a cacophony of hacking coughs.
Everyone looks exhausted. For starters, the cathedral bells peel every 15 minutes, and buses roar past throughout the night. The City starts work early and finishes late. At 6.30am on Tuesday I am roused by a passer-by yelling: 'Get up, you lazy bastards.' Not that they do.
The reporter confirms that this is a Potemkin protest. Thermal imaging has indicated that only one-tenth of the tents that protesters have pitched are occupied overnight. The reporter says that his tent touches five others, and he has never seen anyone enter or leave three of them.
One consistent feature of these gatherings of leftists is squalor:
At the meeting on Monday, one activist complains that his partner was almost assaulted yesterday by a drunk. 'And I saw the camp's kitchen staff being harassed by someone who was drunk,' he says. 'I was also harassed by someone who was drunk. I have reason to be a little bit afraid for our safety.'
His words are warmly applauded, as are those of a facilitator who reveals there have been complaints about boozed-up people urinating on the cathedral steps and on tents.
'No one should pee on the church or the tents,' she instructs. 'That is just not OK. We have big issues with peeing. A bag of s*** was also put in the bin. That is also not OK.'
Everywhere around the world, the face of liberalism is public urination (not to mention, as we noted last night, public masturbation).
Echoing the findings of many other observers, the Daily Mail reporter found that the protesters have no coherent ideology:
Even after living cheek-by-jowl with the demonstrators for two days and nights, what they stand for and what they hope to achieve by occupying this half-acre of paving slabs remains an utter mystery to me. They purport to be running their campaign to fight against capitalism. But what I encountered was a disparate group of freelance travelling protesters with little or no discernible philosophy and a penchant for petty squabbles. …
Many tell me they attend London universities, dividing their time between their studies and the protest. Hardly surprising, then, that much of the business of the camp has the whiff of student politics. Twenty-something and predominantly female, the middle-class accents of the 'facilitators' — yes, that's what they call themselves — fill the piazza as they do 'shout-outs' for people to join caucuses for women and ethnic minorities, and for Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender (LBGT) support groups.
Alongside them in equal number are foreign activists living in London. Smaller in number but perhaps most vocal of all are the professional activists. Several tell me they have just returned from the Dale Farm traveller evictions. Others are veterans of protest camps dating back decades.
What is supposed to be a spontaneous uprising against the evils of capitalism seems very like a gathering of the usual suspects. For all the talk of popular support, there is little evidence on the ground.
In London as in the United States, whatever support the Occupiers might once have enjoyed has ebbed away:
In PR terms, the [St. Paul's] location is clearly a disaster, and it is one that, in private, the protesters are deeply concerned about. 'Support is ebbing away,' says one. 'And with Remembrance Sunday coming up, it is only going to get worse.'
Another tells me his group of a dozen protesters would be happy to leave if some way of packing up without losing face could be found. …
[W]ith each chime of St Paul's august bells, confidence in this haphazard and strangely disingenuous protest grows more hollow.
