Cats and dogs are amazing pets to have, but you may be considering something a little more...exotic. Exotic pets may not be as popular as other animals that you are used to seeing as part of a family's household, but they can be just as fun, rewarding, and easy to form bonds with!
Birds, for example, are highly intelligent animals that can be taught to or vocalize. Turtles, if provided the proper habitat and dietary requirements, can be another great addition to your home with their unique personalities. Reptiles are quiet, low-maintenance, scaly friends that can also offer you companionship without all the hassle. Read more below to discover what type of care each of these animals needs and if they're right for you.

Police arrested several protesters and they sprayed irritants at a crowd gathered at the Michigan State House today.
As the Detroit Free Press reports, State Police used "chemical munitions" when the crowd tried to rush the Senate floor.
All of this comes after Gov. Rick Snyder and the Republican legislature announced a bill that would make Michigan the country's 24th right-to-work state. The legislation is bound to set up a heated confrontation between union activists and the legislature.
Update at 9:15 p.m. ET. Senate Passes Its Own Bills:
The state Senate approved two of its own right-to-work measures — one for public employees and the other for private employees, Detroit Free Press reports. As we noted in an earlier update, the chambers will now have to wait for further action.
(Update at 5:11 p.m. ET: The House has passed the legislation. It is now headed to the Senate, which by law has to wait five days before taking a vote.)
"'I think this is what's best for Michigan,' the GOP governor said while flanked by House Speaker Jase Bolger, Senate Majority Leader Randy Richardville, Lt. Brian Calley and three union members who support the law.
"'I do not view this as something against the unions,' Snyder said, saying it's about making sure 'workers have the right to chose who they associate with.'
"Police and fire unions would not be affected by the new law. Snyder cited the dangers of their jobs and their 'special bond and connection.'"
If this bill becomes law, paying union dues would become optional.
The Lansing State Journal reports that Snyder made the announcement after talks between him and union leaders "about heading off right-to-work legislation broke off Wednesday."
The Free Press posted video of the protests inside the state house. It shows demonstrators shouting on several levels of the rotunda. They grew louder as state police moved into the chambers to control the situation inside.
The images were very much reminiscent of what we saw in Wisconsin in 2011, when Gov. Scott Walker and his legislature introduced and passed a measure severely limiting the rights of public employees to bargain collectively. As you know, that was a protracted affair that culminated in a recall election that Walker won.
Reuters reports that Republican lawmakers believe there are enough votes to pass the measure. The wire service adds that in November, Michigan voters rejected a "measure that would have enshrined a right to collective bargaining in the state constitution."
Update at 4:50 p.m. ET. A Walkout, A Vote:
NPR's Ken Barcus, who is following the situation in Michigan, tells us that Democratic lawmakers have walked out of the House in protest.
"They are going to try to open the doors to the state Capitol to let protesters in," Ken tells us. Capitol Building managers said they were readying for that to happen and were waiting for state troopers to get in their place.
Ken adds:
"Tonight, the state House and the state Senate are expected to approve the bills in front of them. Then the chambers swap the bills. Procedurally, neither can take up the legislation until five days have elapsed. (It's in the state constitution — legislation must "lay over" in a chamber for five days before it can be voted on for a first time.) So this can't become official until sometime next week, but it appears to be a fait accompli."
David Eggert, who is covering the proceedings for MLive.com,is Tweeting a play-by-play of the action. He reports that the motion has passed the House with a 58-52 vote. It now goes to the Senate.

Helpfulness And Care
Jewelry Care:
Jewelry care is an important issue to consider when purchasing or wearing any type of jewelry such as earrings, rings, bracelets, and necklaces. The quality of the metal and the way jewelry is cared for can affect how it looks and how long it lasts.
For jewelry made of metals like brass and stainless steel, cleaning and maintenance are crucial to its durability and shine. A piece of brass jewelry must be clean before being stored. This can be accomplished by using dry cloths. Stainless steel, on the other hand, is resistant to rust and does not require regular maintenance. However, it can still get dirty and can be easily cleaned with a dry cloth.
For jewelry made of 925 Silver, maintenance is even more important. 925 Silver is a soft metal that can be scratched and tarnished with regular use. To keep sterling silver jewelry in good condition, regular careful cleaning with a cotton cloth is recommended. It is important to avoid exposing sterling silver jewelry to harsh chemicals such as chlorine, as this can damage the jewelry's shine and durability.
Regardless of the type of metal used to make jewelry, it is always important to store jewelry safely and dry, as moisture and temperature changes can damage and tarnish jewelry. In addition, it is important to avoid direct contact with liquids, such as water or perfumes, which can damage some metals.

When I was a kid, my mom used to joke about her boobs. "They're tube socks!" she'd hoot. "I have to roll them up to get them in my bra."
I would cringe and recoil. "Mom," I'd hiss. "You're embarrassing me."
"Why are you so red, honey?"
"Because you're embarrassing me."
"I'm just talking about tube socks."
"You're talking about your boobs."
"Sweetie, my boobs are tube socks because I bore and birthed you and your sister, so if hearing about it embarrasses you, well, tough."
Then she'd cross her eyes and stick out her tongue at me. I'd run to my room at that point and discreetly peer down the front of my shirt and wonder whether I'd ever have any kind boobs, let alone the tube sock kind. Although I'd have preferred not the tube sock kind, at that point in my adolescence I'd have been happy with just about anything.
Ah, the deluded innocence of youth.
I grew boobs, eventually. They were never all that impressive - I was always skinny, with the type of cleavage that, in nature, attends skinny bodies - but they were there, and they were kind of cute. Perky. The kind of breasts that you never called tits or gazongas or hooters or even just boobs. You referred to them to them in the diminutive - boobies - or in the unsexed abstract - chest. So it was that when I got pregnant and, later, began lactating and those puppies grew - like, seriously, epically grew, like frightened puffer fish - I was both alarmed and thrilled. I had hooters. I had gazongas. I had BOOBS.
For a few uncomfortable but nonetheless thrilling years, I had a rack, and it was spectacular.
And now it's gone.
Gone, disappeared, deflated, defunct. It's as if, after watching me wean Jasper and my husband get his parts snipped, Nature herself gave my body the once-over and said well, you won't be needing those any more, will you? and unceremoniously removed them from my person.
They're gone now, and I miss them. I miss them, not only because they really were kind of epic - and what girl doesn't fantasize, occasionally, secretly, about what it would be like to have epic boobs? - but because Nature, in all of her douchey wisdom, did not restore my chest to its modest but nonetheless entirely presentable profile. Nature, being the stone-cold bitch-goddess that she is (the very same one who gave us menstrual cycles and the pain of childbirth and the indignity of random chin hairs), turned my boobs into tube socks. Just like my mother's.
Except smaller. Small tube socks. The tube socks of an adolescent boy with irregularly-sized feet. Because, yes, one is actually - oh, god - smaller than the other.
Which is why, when I found myself, yesterday, in the fitting room of the lingerie department, desperately trying to find a bra into which my breasts would not just disappear like a pathetic wad of crumpled tissue, I lasted all of three minutes before bursting into tears.
It's not that I want - what are the kids calling it these days? - a bangin' bod. I'd be happy with a bod that just pinged a little. I just want to not to not look in the mirror and cringe. Which I know goes against everything that I said a few months ago, but a few months ago I had boobs. Muffin-tops and extra ass-padding are one thing when you have the upper curves to balance everything out. They're quite another when your upper body looks like a deflated pool toy.
I'm straining to accept this new incarnation of me, to learn to love it as I've learned to love all the other incarnations. But I am finding, now, as summer approaches and I wrap my head and heart around the fact (is it fact? is it? I am still struggling with this) that I will have no more children, that I am still, in my way, vain, and that I want my beauty back. Maybe not the same beauty, the same body, the same sweet boobs of youth, but something, anything, that makes me swell with just a little bit of pride when I look in the mirror.
Or maybe just a tit-inflater. Anybody got one of those?
Labels: bad grandma, body talk, boobs, breastfeeding, the gods hate me

I've played soccer at a high level my whole life and continue to play for fun in college. I've been coaching soccer for more than 4 years and mostly work with children aged 12 or younger. I love to get players excited about soccer, increase their confidence, and improve their overall skills. Looking forward to working with you!
Coach Elijah C.

I've been playing soccer for 19 years – going through the ups and downs of so many different teams, coaches, self-performance, etc. Having the knowledge I gained over these years, I feel like it's only right to give it back to the next generation of soccer players. I love what I do and will make the most out of every training session. Can't wait to get started!

Our Clients Say
Why Soccer Lessons Are Important
Soccer is one of the most well-liked games, and having soccer skills will help youngsters be more active and productive. Given some of the safety dangers involved with the activity, many parents are reluctant to allow their children to play soccer.
Parents may find it easier to decide whether or not to allow their kids to play soccer if they know and understand a few benefits.
Soccer lessons have many benefits to help keep improving your soccer skills and receive more playing time on the field. Soccer lessons will make you develop your abilities while having fun playing soccer.
It's also important to ensure you are matched with the right soccer trainer for you. This is why we ask specific questions on our registration form to ensure you are matched properly. Our soccer trainer will be able to evaluate exactly what the player will need to improve on, and then come up with a custom soccer lessons program based on that information.
Soccer lessons don't have to be boring or hard either! Our soccer coaches will ensure a fun learning environment at all times. All soccer drills are planned, tested, and well created to ensure to spark creativity and progress the player's performance on the field.
Alot of times, the player may have a certain mindset about their own performance, maybe they think they are better than they think, or worse, but with soccer lessons, the soccer trainer will be able to bring the player down to a realistic level, and really improve on the areas that need improving.
This is a very common issue among competitive soccer players and with the right soccer coach, Dribbler can help with that.
Alot of times, parent's make the mistake of thinking that soccer practice is enough, and that their child will improve from soccer practice alone. This is false, most of the time, 1 on 1 soccer lessons are where the improvement is. The benefit and cost of the 1 on 1 soccer lessons, is well worth it and will speed the learning process up.
Watching the professional soccer player's on TV can spark a deeper interest to improve ones soccer skills. This is another reason why soccer lessons are so beneficial to the players goals. Whether that is learning a new move on the field, increasing their shooting skills, Dribbler can help!
Soccer Coaching Equipment
Soccer Cones
Dribbler soccer trainers bring training cones to every session to improve dribbling skills.
Soccer Nets
Dribbler soccer trainers bring mini soccer nets to improve the players shooting/passing accuracy
Soccer Balls
Dribbler soccer trainers bring soccer balls fitted for the players level and size.
Why We Love Youth Soccer
It's crucial to offer our youth the chance to succeed in life. To ensure their success, they require constructive and considerate direction and assistance with their academic work, diet, and recreational pursuits. You must be enthusiastic about instructing and educating your children in both the game of soccer and life lessons.
Youth Soccer players can learn essential life skills like soccer skill development, networking, problem-solving, and decision-making through soccer and improve their physical development.
Participation in sports must be healthy, beneficial, and safe for all players involved. It must take place in a setting that upholds moral principles, builds community, encourages healthy competition, and improves the lives of the athletes.
Soccer players can play soccer at pretty much any age, but each age group must approach the sport correctly.
A few tips for parents with children who play soccer:
- Maintain a balance in the soccer player's life by promoting participation in various sports, not just soccer but other extracurricular activities while prioritizing academics.
- Focus on fun, soccer skill development, and teamwork as the pillars of your child's early sports experiences.
- Be realistic about your player's sports career prospects, and remember that only a tiny percentage of athletes receive college scholarships, qualify for the Olympics, or sign professional contracts. However, with hard work and discipline, anything can be accomplished and more opportunities can arise.
- When your child turns to the sidelines for a wholesome, composed, and encouraging role model, be there for them as a soccer skill development guide.
- Soccer skill development will continually support and encourage your players, no matter how successful they are, how skilled they are, or how long they play.
- Through conversations with your kids, parents should emphasize the value of respecting coaches and each player's crucial role in the team's success.
- While providing soccer skills development training, act as a role model, consider the "big picture," and assist all athletes and programs.
- Leave the coaching to coaches and refrain from critiquing their methods or the output of their teams.
- Avoid pressuring kids about their playing time or performance to improve soccer skill development.
We hope that these tips help you to become a better "Soccer Parent". We truly believe in the gift that the sport of Soccer can offer. We urge you to continue to support your child's passion or any level of interest in the beautiful game. Soccer can bring so much joy to those who experience it.

Helping a Suicide Survivor Heal
Alan D. Wolfelt, Ph.D.
Provided by the Center for Loss and Life Transition.
Historian Arnold Toynbee once wrote, "There are always two parties to a death; the person who dies and the survivors who are bereaved." Unfortunately, many survivors of suicide suffer alone and in silence. The silence that surrounds them often complicates the healing that comes from being encouraged to mourn.
Because of the social stigma surrounding suicide, survivors feel the pain of the loss, yet may not know how, or where, or if, they should express it. Yet, the only way to heal is to mourn. Just like other bereaved persons grieving the loss of someone loved, suicide survivors need to talk, to cry, sometimes to scream, in order to heal.
As a result of fear and misunderstanding, survivors of suicide deaths are often left with a feeling of abandonment at a time when they desperately need unconditional support and understanding. Without a doubt, suicide survivors suffer in a variety of ways; one, because they need to mourn the loss of someone who has died; two, because they have experienced a sudden, typically unexpected traumatic death; and three, because they are often shunned by a society unwilling to enter into the pain of their grief.
How Can You Help?
If you want to help a friend or family member who has experienced the death of someone loved from suicide, this article will guide you in ways to turn your cares and concerns into positive action.
Accept the Intensity of the Grief
Grief following a suicide is always complex. Survivors don't "get over it." Instead, with support and understanding, they can come to reconcile themselves to its reality. Don't be surprised by the intensity of their feelings. Sometimes, when they least suspect it, they may be overwhelmed by feelings of grief. Accept that survivors may be struggling with explosive emotions, guilt, fear and shame-all well beyond the limits experienced in other types of death. Be patient, compassionate and understanding.
Listen with Your Heart
Assisting suicide survivors means you must break down the terribly costly silence. Helping begins with your ability to be an active listener. Your physical presence and desire to listen without judgment are critical helping tools. Willingness to listen is the best way to offer help to someone who needs to talk.
Thoughts and feelings inside the survivor may be frightening and difficult to acknowledge. Don't worry so much about what you will say. Just concentrate on the words that are being shared with you.
Your friend may relate the same story about the death over and over again. Listen attentively each time. Realize this repetition is part of your friend's healing process. Simply listen and understand. And, remember, you don't have to have the answers to his or her questions. Simply listening is enough.
Avoid Simplistic Explanations and Clichés
Words, particularly clichés, can be extremely painful for a suicide survivor. Clichés are trite comments often intended to diminish the loss by providing simple solutions to difficult realities. Comments like, "You are holding up so well," "Time will heal all wounds," "Think of what you still have to be thankful for" or "You have to be strong for others" are not constructive. Instead, they hurt and make a friend's journey through grief more difficult.
Be certain to avoid passing judgment or providing simplistic explanations of the suicide. Don't make the mistake of saying the person who suicided was "out of his or her mind." Informing a survivor that someone they loved was "crazy or insane" typically only complicates the situation. Suicide survivors need help in coming to their own search for understanding of what has happened. In the end, their personal search for meaning and understanding of the death is what is really important.
Be Compassionate
Give your friend permission to express his or her feelings without fear of criticism. Learn from your friend. Don't instruct or set explanations about how he or she should respond. Never say, "I know just how you feel." You don't. Think about your helping role as someone who "walks with," not "behind" or "in front of" the one who is bereaved.
Familiarize yourself with the wide spectrum of emotions that many survivors of suicide experience. Allow your friend to experience all the hurt, sorrow and pain that he or she is feeling at the time. And recognize tears are a natural and appropriate expression of the pain associated with the loss.
Respect the Need to Grieve
Often ignored in their grief are the parents, brothers, sisters, grandparents, aunts, uncles, spouses and children of persons who have suicided. Why? Because of the nature of the death, it is sometimes kept a secret. If the death cannot be talked about openly, the wounds of grief will go unhealed.
As a caring friend, you may be the only one willing to be with the survivors. Your physical presence and permissive listening create a foundation for the healing process. Allow the survivors to talk, but don't push them. Sometimes, you may get a cue to back off and wait. If you get a signal that this is what is needed, let them know you are ready to listen if, and when, they want to share their thoughts and feelings.
Understand the Uniqueness of Suicide Grief
Keep in mind that the grief of suicide survivors is unique. No one will respond to the death of someone loved in exactly the same way. While it may be possible to talk about similar phases shared by survivors, everyone is different and shaped by experiences in his or her life.
Because the grief experience is unique, be patient. The process of grief takes a long time, so allow your friend to proceed at his or her own pace. Don't criticize what is inappropriate behavior. Remember that the death of someone to suicide is a shattering experience. As a result of this death, your friend's life is under reconstruction.
Be Aware of Holidays and Anniversaries
Survivors of suicide may have a difficult time during special occasions like holidays and anniversaries. These events emphasize the absence of the person who has died. Respect this pain as a natural expression of the grief process. Learn from it. And, most importantly, never try to take the hurt away.
Use the name of the person who has died when talking to survivors. Hearing the name can be comforting and it confirms that you have not forgotten this important person who was so much a part of their lives.
Be Aware of Support Groups
Support groups are one of the best ways to help survivors of suicide. In a group, survivors can connect with other people who share the commonality of the experience. They are allowed and encouraged to tell their stories as much, and as often, as they like. You may be able to help survivors locate such a group. This practical effort on your part will be appreciated.
Respect Faith and Spirituality
If you allow them, a survivor of suicide will "teach you" about their feelings regarding faith and spirituality. If faith is a part of their lives, let them express it in ways that seem appropriate. If they are mad at God, encourage them to talk about it.
Remember, having anger at God speaks of having a relationship with God. Don't be a judge, be a loving friend.
Survivors may also need to explore how religion may have complicated their grief. They may have been taught that persons who take their own lives are doomed to hell. Your task is not to explain theology, but to listen and learn. Whatever the situation, your presence and desire to listen without judging are critical helping tools.
Work Together as Helpers
Friends and family who experience the death of someone to suicide must no longer suffer alone and in silence. As helpers, you need to join with other caring persons to provide support and acceptance for survivors who need to grieve in healthy ways.
To experience grief is the result of having loved. Suicide survivors must be guaranteed this necessity. While the above guidelines will be helpful, it is important to recognize that helping a suicide survivor heal will not be an easy task. You may have to give more concern, time and love than you ever knew you had. But this effort will be more than worth it.

President George W. Bush signed into law The Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act on July 27, 2006, which includes a law to honor the memory of Dru Sjodin.
Dru Katrina Sjodin was born September 26, 1981, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Dru graduated from Pequot Lakes High School (Minnesota) in spring 2000 and was voted high school Homecoming Queen her senior year. She was very artistic and loved playing basketball, volleyball and golf. Dru chose to attend the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks. She interned through the university's aviation program and enjoyed traveling as a benefit of the program. Dru enjoyed being a part of Gamma Phi Beta Sorority and, through the sorority, worked with underprivileged teens while holding two jobs and carrying a full academic schedule. She was looking forward to a much-anticipated trip to Australia planned for the spring of 2004.
On the evening of November 22, 2003, after leaving work, 22-year-old Dru went missing. An investigation led police officials to Alfonso Rodriguez Jr., who was arrested on December 1, 2003. Rodriguez was a Level 3 Minnesota registered sexual offender who had been released from prison after a 23-year sentence only six months prior to Dru's disappearance. Five months after Rodriguez's arrest, Dru's body was found just outside of Crookston, Minnesota.
On August 30, 2006, Rodriguez was tried and found guilty in Dru's abduction and murder.
On July 27, 2006, President George W. Bush signed the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act. This act included Dru's Law, which, among other things, changed the name of the National Sex Offender Public Registry to the Dru Sjodin National Sex Offender Public Website (NSOPW), which provides information to the public on the whereabouts of registered sex offenders regardless of state, territory or tribal boundaries.

Astigmatism is a condition that is caused by an irregular shape of the cornea – the clear part of the eye that covers the iris and the pupil. The cornea is usually smooth, round, and spherical but in an astigmatic eye, the cornea turns into a shape that is not spherical and develops a second curve. One of the primary duties of the cornea is to focus light onto the retina which enables you to see clearly. When the cornea is out of shape and develops two curves, this creates two focal points therefore causing blurred vision.
The irregular shape of the eye makes it hard for traditional contact lenses to fit and provide clear vision and therefore requires specialized contact lenses such as toric lenses or rigid gas permeable lenses (RGPs).
What are Toric Contact Lenses?
Toric contact lenses are designed to correct astigmatism and custom made to fit the eye of the patient. Rather than having a perfectly spherical surface like standard contact lenses, toric lenses have a more oblong shape made to accommodate the shape of the astigmatic eye. Toric lenses can be made of either soft or rigid gas permeable (RGP or GP) lens material, however the soft toric lenses are more common.
Toric contact lenses are also designed in such a way that the lenses stay in place on the eye to maintain proper vision. Sometimes as the eye moves or blinks the lens can rotate considerably on the eye. If this rotation continues with a soft toric lens, a rigid gas permeable lens might be more effective. Rigid gas permeable lenses have a longer initial adjustment time, but once this has passed they are usually just as comfortable as soft contact lenses and they are often easier to care for.
Toric lenses are available in every wearing schedule from daily disposable to long-term wear. In some cases you may even find colored toric contact lenses. Due to the customization required, toric lenses tend to be more expensive and may take more laboratory time to make than traditional lenses.
If you have astigmatism, finding the right fit for your contact lenses is essential. Speak to your eye doctor today for a full assessment to determine which type of toric lenses will work best for you to help you see and feel your best.

By H. Knox Thames,
CSCE Counsel
The United States Helsinki Commission held a hearing May 22, 2002 on the continuing wave of anti-Semitic attacks that has swept across Europe this year. Commission Co-Chairman Rep. Christopher H. Smith (R-NJ) chaired the hearing. Commissioners Rep. Benjamin Cardin (D-MD), Senator George V. Voinovich (R-OH), and Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) also participated.
Testifying before the Commission were Shimon Samuels, Director of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Paris; Mark B. Levin, Executive Director of NCSJ: Advocates on behalf of Jews in Russia, Ukraine, the Baltic States & Eurasia; Alexandra Arriaga, Director of Government Relations for Amnesty International USA; Rabbi Andrew Baker, Director of International Jewish Affairs for the American Jewish Committee; and Kenneth Jacobson, Director of International Affairs Division for the Anti-Defamation League.
Co-Chairman Smith opened the hearing with an urgent appeal to combat increasingly frequent acts of anti-Semitism – including synagogue fire bombings, mob assaults, desecration of cultural property and armed attacks. He detailed the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe's strong position on anti-Semitism, but voiced dismay that some participating States have not taken appropriate measures to combat acts of violence and incitement.
"Anti-Semitism is not necessarily based on the hatred of the Judaic faith, but on the Jewish people themselves," Smith said. "Consequently, the resurfacing of these . . . acts of violence is something that cannot be ignored by our European friends or the United States."
In a submitted statement, Chairman Ben Nighthorse Campbell stated, "The anti-Semitic violence spreading throughout the OSCE region gives cause for deep concern for its scope and viciousness." Senator Campbell insisted "no longer can these acts of intolerance and violence be viewed as separate occurrences…. [Such] manifestations of anti-Semitism must not be tolerated, period, regardless of the source."
Senator Voinovich expressed consternation over the increasing number of attacks in Europe. He stated he was "saddened and deeply disturbed by reports of anti-Semitism that have taken place recently in some of the world's strongest democracies: France, Germany, Belgium." Senator Voinovich added, "Many of Europe's synagogues have become targets of arson and Molotov cocktails."
Senator Clinton added, anti-Semitism "is something for which all of us have to not only be vigilant but prepared to take action." She urged President Bush to raise the issue during his planned trip to Europe, and expressed hope that the OSCE commitments undertaken by European governments, in reference to anti-Semitism, would be "followed up by action."
Rep. Cardin, in his opening statement, hoped the hearing would "remind OSCE participating States that they have pledged to unequivocally condemn anti-Semitism and take effective measures to both prosecute those committing such hate crimes and to protect individuals from anti-Semitic violence." Rep. Cardin also expressed his disappointment that European governments had not taken a more aggressive stand.
Dr. Samuels presented chilling testimony on the extent of anti-Semitic attacks in Europe and the failure of European governments and the international community to respond effectively. "Every Jewish building in Paris requires protection," Samuels testified, reading from a January 16, 2002 Le Monde article. "Any child leaving school may be beaten because he is Jewish, only because he is a Jew."
Among the hundreds of attacks in France just this year, Samuels cited several compelling stories: An eight-year-old girl was wounded by a bullet when a Jewish school bus came under fire in suburban Paris. A rabbi's car was defaced by graffiti that read "Death to the Jews." Rather than documenting these incidents as anti-Semitic violence, the French Government identified them as a broken windshield and an act of vandalism, respectively. In effect, there exists what Dr. Samuels called a "black box of denial." The perpetrators often go unpunished.
Mr. Levin addressed anti-Semitism in the former Soviet states, urging appropriate criticism of countries' shortcomings and recognition of their successes when it comes to combating anti-Semitism. Enforcing existing laws, using the bully pulpit, outreach to the general public, furthering understanding through education, and encouraging a role for religious leaders are all important steps, Levin testified. He concluded, "It is our hope and it is our expectation that when President Bush meets with President Putin in Moscow. . . he will carry this message."
Ms. Arriaga testified that Amnesty International strongly condemns the recent spate of anti-Semitic attacks. "These acts are violations of the most fundamental human rights committed on the basis of an individual's religion or identity," she said. Ms. Arriaga made two recommendations. One, President Bush should raise issues of law enforcement accountability and other steps toward combating racist and anti-Semitic attitudes with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the late-May U.S.-Russia summit. Two, Congress should consider lifting the Jackson-Vanik amendment as a means of leveraging discussions.
Rabbi Baker made a compelling statement that further highlighted the severity of anti-Semitism. Like Samuels, Baker outlined three sources of hatred that have converged to create the situation in which Europe now finds itself. They include radicalized Muslims, incited by the scathing coverage of Israel in the Arabic press; the surge in popularity of Europe's far right wing; and a growing hatred of Israel on Europe's left wing.
"The image of an Israeli who is frequently portrayed as an aggressive violator of human rights is quickly conflated with the Jew," Baker testified. Taking this one step further, Baker continued, cartoonists have depicted Israeli leaders with gross physical exaggerations just as the Nazis depicted the Jewish "villain." Baker observed the need for U.S. political leaders to approach European leaders "in measured and sober tones." Concluding his testimony, Baker acknowledged that the U.S. has been European Jewry's strongest ally in the fight against anti-Semitism.
Mr. Jacobson's testimony framed the issue of anti-Semitism as a national security matter for the United States. Anti-American and anti-Jewish sentiments often go hand-in-hand, he said. Typically, this sort of hatred spreads from one region in the Middle East to another in Europe, in large part, because of anti-Jewish invective spewed by Al Jazeera television, anti-Israel media coverage in France, and trans-ideological Internet propaganda.
Appealing for action, Jacobson recommended that Congress and the OSCE work to place this issue on the international diplomatic agenda. He also suggested the international community convene a conference on anti-Semitism. Finally, anti-bias education can help combat anti-Semitism, Jacobson said.
Commissioners pledged to raise the issue of anti-Semitism at the upcoming OSCE Berlin Parliamentary Assembly meeting in early July. Among the initiatives discussed was the introduction of a free-standing resolution on anti-Semitic violence in the OSCE region for consideration in Berlin.
An un-official transcript of the hearing and written statements submitted by Members and witnesses can be found on the Helsinki Commission's Internet web site.
The United States Helsinki Commission, an independent federal agency, by law monitors and encourages progress in implementing provisions of the Helsinki Accords. The Commission, created in 1976, is composed of nine Senators, nine Representatives, and one official each from the Departments of State, Defense, and Commerce.

I started my journey at the famed Gdansk Shipyard, home of Poland's solidarity movement in the 1980s. It was nearly midnight when I arrived and saw for the first time the Maersk McKinney Moller, the world's largest container ship.
I simply wasn't prepared for just how massive it is. The whole ship really can't be taken in, even standing at a distance, so I gave my neck a good stretch by scanning this behemoth end to end, and up and down.
That sense of scale was reinforced when I walked up the ship's steep gangway with Mikkel Linnet, a communications officer with Maersk. The ship's third officer, Siddhesh Naik, joked that most visitors ask where the elevator is because you need to climb two floors just to get to the main deck.
Everything about this ship is big.
Each link, or lug, in its anchor chain weighs about 500 pounds. It can carry more than 2 million bicycles or more than 100 million pairs of shoes.
It sits 240 feet high, roughly the same as a 20-story building. It's 1,300 feet long, or a quarter of a mile, and 200 feet wide. It can hold more than 18,000 of the standard 20-foot containers — about double what many other megaships can carry. If you put each container end to end, the line would stretch for about 70 miles.
And that's why we were already delayed by 12 hours. It was taking longer than expected for Polish longshoremen to finish loading and lashing down the thousands of containers carrying anything from electronic goods to furniture. Throughout the night I could hear the gigantic cranes hoist up containers — many weighing up to 25 tons — and stack them on this massive vessel.
The size of the Maersk McKinney Moller can also present challenges getting in and out of port. As we left Gdansk, the Danish captain, Jes Meinertz, sipped coffee and watched a Polish pilot deftly maneuver the ship around three nearby piers and into the open waters of the Baltic Sea.
The Maersk McKinney Moller was just launched last summer and is the first of a new class of megaships known as the Triple E. The vessel has that new car feel to it. Everything is clean and bright, and the crew is still familiarizing itself with all of the new bells and levers and whistles.
The ship was built to shuttle between Asia and northern Europe, the world's busiest trade route. No U.S. port can yet handle a ship this size. Several European ports improved their facilities, dredging their waterways and upgrading the size of their cranes in order to unload containers from this superwide vessel. Meinertz says the Chinese are constructing new terminals at an amazing rate.
"They are just building more and more terminals, bigger and bigger terminals. You have so much more gear available when you come alongside than in some of the European ports," he says.
It was in 2010 — during the global recession — that Maersk Lines made the decision to create this new class of megaship. Michael Heimann, senior portfolio manager at Maersk Line, was part of the development team. He says the challenge was coming up with a design that was at least 30 percent more efficient than other big container ships.
They needed to think "in different ways than what we had seen in ship design before," he says.
Heimann says Maersk made changes to the ship's engine size and its propellers, and it improved ways to capture energy to more efficiently power the vessel.
The ship moves 2 to 3 knots slower than others, which cuts both CO2 emissions and fuel costs — the ship's biggest expense — by at least half. Maersk also made fundamental changes to the shape of the vessel in order to get as many containers on board as possible. It's economy of scale, Heimann says.
"Obviously, the more containers that we can put on, the more containers that have to split the cost of the fuel on," he says.
Richard Meade with Lloyds List, a shipping industry news provider, says that's a great argument, but only if the ship is fully loaded.
"A ship like the Maersk McKinney Moller is a fantastic advance for the industry, as long as it is full. If it is half-empty, it is probably one of the most inefficient ships ever built," Meade says. "That is the great gamble."
It's a gamble Maersk is willing to make, based on the belief that global trade will bounce back from the recession. The company ordered 20 Triple E vessels from South Korean shipbuilder Daewoo at $185 million apiece. Half a dozen of the ships are already on the water. Other shipping companies have also placed orders for similar-sized vessels.
Stephen Schueler, chief commercial officer for Maersk Line, says it's starting to see the ships fill up.
"We're very encouraged by the utilization, or the vessels being full," Schueler says. "In this year so far, I would say we are almost completely full."
On my second night on board, we headed into Danish waters. My jet lag prevented sleep, so I wandered around the ship. The massive containers stacked on deck were silhouetted by moonlight. I felt like a speck standing next to them.
I walked onto the bridge, where the glow of the instrument panels cut through the darkness. After a few moments, I could see a horizontal chain of lights just ahead. It was Denmark's Great Belt Bridge. I could feel myself duck as we went under it. There was only a 20-foot clearance between the top of the ship and the bottom of the bridge.
Within hours, we reached the port of Aarhus, Denmark, where I got off the ship. I walked down the long gangplank then onto the pier, taking one long last look at the Maersk McKinney Moller, a ship in a class of its own.

The EVO386 standard is designed for oversized spindles. CeramicSpeed's kit for Shimano allows you to install Shimano or FSA cranks with 24mm spindles.
The cups come with CeramicSpeed Bearings installed. Both CeramicSpeed Standard and Coated Bearings are available. Both utilize super smooth CeramicSpeed Balls and hardened-steel races. The latter has an additional metallic coating on the races to further smooth and harden the steel, further increasing life and lowering drag.
The design of overlapping cups extending through the shell for EVO386 reduce the likelihood of creaking and increase the reliability of the system.
The CeramicSpeed Standard Bearings feature an average drag reduction of 75% compared to stock bottom brackets. That translates into frictional drag of 0.3-0.4 watts per set, which is the result of great design, hardened-steel races, and ceramic balls that are 100% smoother and 15% harder than the ceramic competition.
The CeramicSpeed Coated Bearings are a step up as they reduce drag by 50% compared to our Standard Bearings and an improvement in bearing life by 60%.
All Round Grease comes standard in the bearings, but can be replaced for lower drag TT and Track Grease or higher durability LongLife Grease, which adds a bit of drag but stays in the bearing when riding through messy conditions.
In The Box:
- 1 bottom bracket with bearings installed
- 2 dust covers
- 10ml syringe of All Round Grease
- Sticker Sheet

AngolaThe life expectancy at birth in Angola is 55.29 while in China it is 75.15.
This entry contains the average number of years to be lived by a group of people born in the same year, if mortality at each age remains constant in the future. The entry includes total population as well as the male and female components. Life expectancy at birth is also a measure of overall quality of life in a country and summarizes the mortality at all ages. It can also be thought of as indicating the potential return on investment in human capital and is necessary for the calculation of various actuarial measures.
CIA World Factbook
The number of deaths of infants under one year old in a given year per 1,000 live births in Angola is 79.99 while in China it is 14.79.
This entry gives the number of deaths of infants under one year old in a given year per 1,000 live births in the same year; included is the total death rate, and deaths by sex, male and female. This rate is often used as an indicator of the level of health in a country.
CIA World Factbook
The percentage of adults living with HIV/AIDS in Angola is 2.30% while in China it is 0.10%. 12,600 people in Angola and 26,000 people in China die from AIDS each year.
This entry gives an estimate of the percentage of adults (aged 15-49) living with HIV/AIDS. The adult prevalence rate is calculated by dividing the estimated number of adults living with HIV/AIDS at yearend by the total adult population at yearend.
CIA World Factbook
10.80 in every 100,000 people are murdered annually in Angola compared to 0.80 in China
This entry contains the number of victims of an unlawful death purposefully inflicted on a person by another person. Data is originally sourced from either criminal justice or public health systems.
United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime
The GDP per capita in Angola is $6,300 while in China it is $9,800
This entry shows GDP on a purchasing power parity basis divided by population as of 1 July for the same year. A nation's GDP at purchasing power parity (PPP) exchange rates is the sum value of all goods and services produced in the country valued at prices prevailing in the United States. This is the measure most economists prefer when looking at per-capita welfare and when comparing living conditions or use of resources across countries. The measure is difficult to compute, as a US dollar value has to be assigned to all goods and services in the country regardless of whether these goods and services have a direct equivalent in the United States (for example, the value of an ox-cart or non-US military equipment); as a result, PPP estimates for some countries are based on a small and sometimes different set of goods and services. In addition, many countries do not formally participate in the World Bank's PPP project that calculates these measures, so the resulting GDP estimates for these countries may lack precision. For many developing countries, PPP-based GDP measures are multiples of the official exchange rate (OER) measure. The differences between the OER- and PPP-denominated GDP values for most of the wealthy industrialized countries are generally much smaller.
CIA World Factbook
The per capita consumption of electricity in China is 3,925kWh while in Angola it is 240kWh
This entry consists of total electricity generated annually plus imports and minus exports, expressed in kilowatt-hours. The discrepancy between the amount of electricity generated and/or imported and the amount consumed and/or exported is accounted for as loss in transmission and distribution.
CIA World Factbook
China consumes 0.3024 gallons of oil per day per capita while Angola consumes 0.1764
This entry is the total oil consumed in gallons per day (gal/day) divided by the population. The discrepancy between the amount of oil produced and/or imported and the amount consumed and/or exported is due to the omission of stock changes, refinery gains, and other complicating factors.
CIA World Factbook
Per capita public and private health expenditures combined in Angola are $190.50 USD while China spends $321.70 USD
This entry contains the per capita public and private health expenditure at purchase power parity using US Dollars. This figure combines government, personal, and employer spending on health care
World Health Organization
105 in every 100,000 people are currently imprisoned in Angola compared to 119 in China
This entry contains the number of people in penal institutions, including pre-trial detainees. Comparability is hampered by differences in local practice, including whether psychiatrically ill offenders are under the authority of the prison administration. People held in a form of custody not under the authority of a prison administration are not included in this figure.
International Centre for Prison Studies
The annual number of births per 1,000 people in Angola is 38.97 while in China it is 12.17.
This entry gives the average annual number of births during a year per 1,000 persons in the population at midyear; also known as crude birth rate. The birth rate is usually the dominant factor in determining the rate of population growth. It depends on both the level of fertility and the age structure of the population.
CIA World Factbook
With its 19,088,106 people, Angola is the 58th largest country in the world by population. It is the 23rd largest country in the world by area with 1,246,700 square kilometers.
Angola is still rebuilding its country since the end of a 27-year civil war in 2002. Fighting between the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA), led by Jose Eduardo DOS SANTOS, and the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA), led by Jonas SAVIMBI, followed independence from Portugal in 1975. Peace seemed imminent in 1992 when Angola held national elections, but fighting picked up again in 1993. Up to 1.5 million lives may have been lost - and 4 million people displaced - during the more than a quarter century of fighting. SAVIMBI's death in 2002 ended UNITA's insurgency and cemented the MPLA's hold on power. President DOS SANTOS pushed through a new constitution in 2010; elections held in 2012 saw him installed as president.
