December brings many holidays, and here at The Eloquent Woman, we're also celebrating the end of a successful 2010--and a month in which a wide variety of posts from the blog were popular, from those focused on gift ideas for speakers to gender issues in public speaking, language insights and advice for newbies and organizers. Celebrate your public speaking skills with the top 10 most-read posts from the blog in December:
- If I were speaking at TEDWomen, here's what I'd say about the future of women and girls was written in November, but zoomed in popularity when the TEDWomen conference convened in early December. It's my take on how we can help women and girls be more confident about public speaking by stopping the 4 myths about women and public speaking that have persisted for centuries.
- Getting from "no" to "yes" in negotiation with storytelling shares a video of negotiation expert William Ury talking about his efforts to encourage peaceful relations in the Middle East by using storytelling to break down a negotiation standoff. An inspiring story in itself!
- No more pen and pencil sets: My top 10 gifts for speakers was so popular that I hope you're the benefiiciary of one of these great gifts, either now at the holidays or when you give your next speech. Share this with the program organizers in your professional groups, if you bring in speakers.
- Organizing a speech with new tech tools? A no-surprises manifesto took a lesson from what happened during a Steve Martin talk in New York, when the organizers took in messages from online audiences, but didn't tell the speaker--until someone walked onstage with a note to ask him to change the subject, based on email comments. It's my list of what organizers owe speakers when high-tech audience engagement is part of the deal.
- What's your public speaking or presenting resolution for 2011? I know readers are working on their resolutions, and public speaking improvements are great ones to put on those lists. Feel free to share your resolution in the comments on this post.
- Language works: This is your brain on metaphors takes a neuroscience look at what's happening in your brains when you use complex metaphors. The good news: You and your audience can handle them easily. The post points you to a thoughtful, longer read on why that is so, and how it works in your brain.
- The speaker's stocking: Replace your remote with a mini Bluetooth keyboard was one of the most popular of the gift posts this month. Stay in control with this gift suggestion that opens up your options when presenting.
- Confessions of a newbie public speaker, a guest post by Georgy Cohen, came just in time if you're considering making 2011 a year of improving your public speaking. That's what she vowed to do in 2010, and this post shares her insights, results and resources.
- The speaker's stocking: Speech-bubble gifts, tools and tech are gifts with fun and purpose. They're all shaped like speech bubbles, but run the gamut from whiteboards and chalkboards to stickers, decals, mini-speakers and more. Great for teachers, trainers, presenters, kids and you.
- Sheryl Sandberg just might be my Eloquent Woman of the Year helped me end the year with video of a powerful speech from a powerful woman, the COO of Facebook. She shares insights into why there are so few women in powerful positions, and her three suggestions for how to change that, but also shares what she's learned from other women about her own public speaking and why we may need to start by changing our habits, first. A moving, powerful talk.
The first issue of the Step Up Your Speaking newsletter for 2011 comes out in the first week of the new year, so now is a great time to sign up at the link below. And later this week, I'll share the top 10 posts for 2010, so you can end the year right. Happy new year!

Explore the fairytale castle park of the Allgäu on five sections covering a total length of 219 kilometres. Cyclists can enjoy a scenic and culturally stimulating experience while savouring the excellent service along this 5-star cycle route.
After a stroll through the idyllic old town of Füssen, it is time to set off on the trail to Hohenschwangau, with stunningly regal views of the nearby Alpine peaks and royal palaces. The museum devoted to Ludwig II contains a wealth of fascinating facts about the Fairy Tale King and his family. The route continues past Lake Bannwaldsee through the Birnbaumer Filz moorland to the Pfaffenwinkel. The slightly odd name comes from the large number of monasteries in this area ("Pfaffe" means "cleric"). While you are here, it is worth taking a trip to the Pilgrimage Church of Wies, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Pilgrimage Church enchants millions of visitors each year. The route continues along the disused Marktoberdorf-Lechbruck railway line to Steinbach. From here, it crosses upland moors and mountains. After riding along the former "Sachsenrieder Bähnle" railway line, it is worth sampling a home-brewed beer in the Kaltentaler Brauhaus. The route continues north to Buchloe, the gateway to the Allgäu, passing the artificial lakes along the Wertach where you can observe countless aquatic birds. Forestry and distant views of the Alps herald the western edge of the castle parkland, where the ruins of Falkenstein Castle are the highest in Germany. The last stage heads down to Weißensee and back to Füssen.
Characteristics: Moderate climbs and flat tarmac paths dominate this circular route, which can be ridden in stages.
Scenery: The cycle path starts in the foothills of the Alps and heads into the mountainous Allgäu region. Along the way, monasteries, pilgrimage churches, fairytale castles and picture-postcard villages provide cultural diversity, while scenic upland moors, lakes and rivers are perfect for enjoying activities such as Kneipp hydrotherapy, moorland walks and rock climbing.
Length: 219 kilometres
Start/end: Füssen
Getting here (nearest main town/city): Kempten (44 kilometres)
Route info: Tours with moderate, sometimes steeper climbs, mostly even tarmac paths

Two weeks ago, NASA released an insanely beautiful video of the Japanese Hayabusa spacecraft exploding over the Australian Outback. Turns out the video was planned and shot by a couple high schoolers from a NASA DC-8 aircraft. Feeling inadequate yet?
In 2009, science teacher Ron Dantowitz gave three of his students a project, asking them to plan a mission to record the disintegration of a spacecraft. It was presented as a hypothetical situation to the kids—James Breitmeyer, Brigitte Berman, and Yiannis Karavas, all from Brookline, Massachusetts—but Dantowitz, an expert in "optical observations, tracking, and spectroscopy," had actually been asked by NASA to participate in the real deal: The Hayabusa Re-entry Airborne Observing Campaign, a mission to record video of the Japanese spacecraft, which had been out gathering material from an asteroid, as it re-entered the atmosphere.
After six months of work, Dantowitz let them in on the secret—and in June, the three high schoolers took off in a DC-8 and recorded the video themselves.
"It was quiet and cold and dark as we waited," says Breitmeyer. "We were all a bit jittery. We knew all our hard work over the past year came down to this moment. A voice on the intercom broke the silence – 10, 9, 8, ….3, 2, and then someone shouted 'there it is!'
"As our screens lit up with the burning bus and the small capsule I was so excited I could have jumped right out of my chair," says Berman. "But I didn't. I knew I needed to concentrate in case something went wrong with our cameras or monitors; if I was in an uncontrollable frenzy this would not be possible."
"After the main bus deteriorated you could see the capsule still intact," says Breitmeyer. "Then the capsule decelerated, and we lost sight of it. It was over. We all started yelling and cheering – we practically rocked the plane! The same people who had been biting their fingernails minutes ago were now shouting and laughing."
That's Brigitte Berman, who, at age 16, is "the youngest person to have ever joined a NASA DC-8 flight research team." (When I was 16, I was writing "NIRVANA" and "THE GET-UP KIDS" on my All-Stars in ballpoint pen and getting a B in Physics.) The three students will be co-authors on a bunch of papers that will be submitted next year, and will even write their own papers for submission to peer-reviewed journals before they graduate.

MONTREAL — A year after it proposed to kill TSN Radio 690 by converting it into a French-language radio station, owner Bell Media is drumming up public support to save it.
As part of its application to acquire Astral Media, which includes CJAD, Virgin Radio and CHOM, Bell is asking the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission for an exception to its policy that limits the number of radio stations in one market that can be owned by the same company.
It also set up a website, savetsn690.ca, to encourage the station's listeners to write to the commission in support of that request.
In its last application to buy Astral, which was rejected by the commission in October, Bell did not request an exception, deciding that one would probably not be granted. Instead, it proposed to convert the station into a French-language one, which would not violate the common ownership policy because neither Bell nor Astral have French-language AM stations in Montreal. (Astral owns NRJ and Rouge FM in Montreal, as well as Boom FM stations in various regions.)
The proposal to turn TSN Radio into RDS Radio was met with overwhelming opposition by TSN listeners. More than 700 individuals filed comments, the vast majority opposed to the proposal. Three even showed up at the hearing to plead their cases in person.
"It is evident from these interventions that consumers see TSN Radio as a crucial part of the cultural fabric of English-speaking Montréal," Bell writes in its new application, which was published Wednesday by the commission.
If an exception is granted, Bell would own four of the five English-language commercial radio stations in Montreal, representing a 60 per cent share of listening hours (67 per cent when you exclude CBC). The Beat, owned by Cogeco Diffusion, would be the only commercial competitor, though a sixth English-language commercial station owned by Tietolman-Tétrault-Pancholy Media is set to launch this year at 600 AM.
Cogeco vice-president of public affairs René Guimond said the company had no comment at this time about Bell's request for an exception. TTP Media co-owned Paul Tietolman said his group also had no comment.
Though Cogeco was a vocal opponent to Bell's first request to buy Astral Media, citing competition concerns, Bell's request for an exception in Montreal mirrors one that Cogeco requested when it purchased Corus Entertainment's Quebec radio assets in 2010. The CRTC exceptionally allowed Cogeco to keep three French-language FM stations in Montreal (CKOI, Rythme FM and 98.5) so that the latter could act as a flagship station for a new radio news network called Cogeco Nouvelles. Bell said its request for an exception for TSN 690 was for similar reasons.
Bell said without the exception, it would be forced to sell or shut down TSN 690, and a sale would not come with broadcast rights to Canadiens games nor any guarantee that the new owner would commit to keeping the money-losing all-sports format. Neither of these options, Bell said, would satisfy TSN's listeners.
In addition to the intangible benefit of keeping the station alive and committing to its current format for seven more years, Bell also proposed to give $105,000 to Concordia University for sports journalism scholarships and $140,000 to support amateur sports in Montreal if it is allowed to keep TSN 690, each donation spread over seven years.
Asked by the commission why Bell would not consider selling one of the other Astral stations instead, Bell said the three "are operated as a cluster" and share resources including news and traffic. "We are, therefore, not prepared to divest CJAD, CJFM-FM (Virgin), or CHOM-FM."
The CRTC will hold a public hearing in Montreal beginning May 6 to discuss the application by Bell to buy Astral Media, including the exception for TSN. Comments from the public are being accepted until April 5. Click here to read the application and comment on it.

President Donald Trump said he supports a deal that will allow TikTok to continue to operate in the United States, after threatening to ban the Chinese-owned app in August, Reuters' Alexandra Alper and David Shepardson report. He told reporters at the White House he backs the deal with Oracle (ORCL) and Walmart (WMT) that would see the creation of a new company that will assume TikTok's U.S. operations, the authors note. Trump said the new TikTok company will be "totally controlled by Oracle and Walmart.... All of the control is Oracle and Walmart." Reference Link

Immunomedics says Phase 2 'positive' in metastatic urothelial cancer » 14:2509/1909/19/20
Immunomedics announced…
Immunomedics announced "positive" results from cohort 1 of cisplatin-eligible patients in the pivotal Phase 2 TROPHY U-01 study of Trodelvy in metastatic urothelial cancer. Results confirm the interim findings and prior Phase 1/2 study results showing Trodelvy has significant activity and is safe in patients with heavily-pretreated mUC who progressed on both platinum-based chemotherapy and checkpoint inhibitors, the company said. The median progression-free survival was 5.4 months and median overall survival was 10.5 months. "Given that only about 10 percent of patients with mUC who have cancer progression after platinum-based and CPI therapy are expected to respond to single-agent chemotherapy with approximately two to three months of median progression-free survival, today's compelling results with sacituzumab govitecan offer patients and families new hope," commented Yohann Loriot, MD, PhD, Institut de Cancerologie Gustave Roussy, Villejuif, France.

Immunomedics' Trodelvy extended overall survival in breast cancer study » 14:2209/1909/19/20
Immunomedics announced…
Immunomedics announced that results from the confirmatory Phase 3 ASCENT study showed that Trodelvy "significantly extended" overall survival and improved overall response rate and clinical benefit rate, compared to treatment of choice standard single-agent chemotherapy in brain metastases-negative patients with mTNBC who had previously received at least two prior therapies for metastatic disease. Despite having received a median of four prior anticancer regimens, patients treated with Trodelvy in the ASCENT study showed a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in OS with a median of 12.1 months versus 6.7 months for chemotherapy, with a hazard ratio of 0.48, the company said. Trodelvy also demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in ORR and CBR compared to chemotherapy, Immunomedics added. Ten complete responses were observed in the Trodelvy arm compared with two in the control group. As of data cutoff on March 11, 2020, 15 patients continued to receive Trodelvy treatment while no patient remained on study in the TPC control arm. "We believe these remarkable results should facilitate the establishment of Trodelvy as a new standard of care in patients with third-line mTNBC," said Dr. Loretta M. Itri, Chief Medical Officer of Immunomedics. "We are working very collaboratively with FDA under the RTOR program to submit a supplemental Biologics License Application to have Trodelvy's label expanded to include these confirmatory new data. Additionally, we plan to submit a Marketing Authorization Application to the European Medicines Agency in the first half of 2021 in order to make this important new treatment available to mTNBC patients in Europe."

CoreLogic battle appears headed to shareholder vote, Barron's says » 10:1809/1909/19/20
One of the…
One of the more-confrontational activist battles this year is almost sure to come down to a shareholder vote in November, Carleton English writes in this week's edition of Barron's. Earlier in the week, CoreLogic (CLGX) rejected the second buyout bid by activist investor Senator Investment Group and strategic holding company Cannae Holdings (CNNE), claiming the $66-per-share offer "significantly undervalue(d)" the property data and analytics company, the author notes, adding that admittedly, the duo only increased their initial offer by $1 a share as a "gesture of good faith." They had hoped to restart talks and start a formal due-diligence process to determine if a higher bid is warranted, the report points out. With both sides at a seeming impasse, it's increasingly looking like CoreLogic shareholders will have the final say at the company's special meeting on Nov. 17 in which Senator and Cannae put up a majority slate of director nominees to facilitate a sale process.

With Americans eating more meals at home, supermarkets are among the few traditional retailers to thrive, and Albertsons, the nation's fourth-largest grocer, is no exception, Andrew Bary writes in this week's edition of Barron's. Since the pandemic began in March, the owner of the Safeway and Acme supermarket chains has had sales growth of more than 20% and ample profits. However, the company went public in late June at $16 a share, and the stock has since fallen to around $13, the author notes, adding that now is the time "to bag these marked-down shares."

Nvidia (NVDA) became the largest U.S. chip maker by market value in July, passing industry titan Intel (INTC), but by most measures, Nvidia remains a niche player, Max Cherney writes in this week's edition of Barron's. For Nvidia to grow into its value, the company has to do something big, and CEO Jensen Huang may have found the answer with his $40B deal for Arm Holdings, the author notes. If there ever was a way to challenge Intel's dominance, Huang may have cracked the code, with a combination of Nvidia's leading graphics processors, Arm's central-processing-unit chips, and its longstanding partnership with TSMC (TSM), which fabricates many of the world's most advanced chips, the report adds.

Cash usage was already at an all-time low, and COVID-19 has just hastened the decline, with Americans at first stuck at home and now still wary of the close proximity require for the physical exchange of bills, Daren Fonda writes in this week's edition of Barron's. Meanwhile, digital payment stocks like PayPal Holdings (PYPL) and Square (SQ) have been some of the best performers in 2020, pushing their valuations to extremes. The elevated prices could pressure the stocks in the near term, keeping further gains muted, but for long-term investors, there's still time to jump in, the author notes. Reference Link

Granite Construction…
Granite Construction announced that it has received an extension for continued listing and trading of the company's common stock on the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE. The extension of an additional six months gives the company until March 18, 2021 to file its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and its subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, subject to reassessment on an ongoing basis. The company can regain compliance at any time before that date by filing its 2019 Form 10-K and 2020 Form 10-Qs with the SEC. The NYSE will continue to closely monitor the company's restatement process and timing, and could initiate accelerated trading suspension prior to the end of the six-month extension if that process fails to progress satisfactorily during the extension. In addition, in the event the company does not file its 2019 Form 10-K and 2020 Form 10-Qs with the SEC by March 18, 2021, the NYSE will move forward with the initiation of suspension and delisting procedures.

Three men have been convicted at the Old Bailey over a shooting in a south London shop which left a five-year-old girl paralysed.
Thusha Kamaleswaran was shot in the chest and Roshan Selvakumar, 35, was shot in the face at Stockwell Food and Wine in Brixton shop last March.
Nathaniel Grant, Kazeem Kolawole and Anthony McCalla were convicted of grievous bodily harm with intent.
The men were also found guilty of the attempted murder of Roshaun Bryan.
The court heard the gunmen were trying to shoot someone else when the two innocent victims got caught in the crossfire.
Prosecutor Edward Brown QC told jurors: "The reality of this shooting may be that, whilst there was an intention to kill the suspected rival gang member, the gunman and his accomplices couldn't have cared less if someone else was shot too."
Thusha's heart stopped twice before doctors were able to save her. She has spent most of the last year in hospital and doctors say she will never walk again.

A couple who tried to steal fuel from a bunch of idle construction equipment got the moving truck they'd rented stuck in the mud and were subsequently caught by the police. Justice served.
Apprehended near Modesto, Calif., Erik and Shannon Miller told police that they were on their way to San Francisco from Fresno when they realized they were running low on money. So they decided to plunder a construction site.
Their story regarding their surprise over running out of money didn't hold water, but it did hold fuel. The cops found a 100-gallon tank and siphon setup in the back of the truck, and threw both Millers in jail.

Hi Shogun,
My battery is in the engine bay. I also tried looking for the fusible link under the rear seat where the battery would be located but could not find anything.
You are correct, the blue wire was installed by my dad and me. It connects two wires that were used by the workshop where the car was (without success) being diagnosed after getting towed from my house be the ADAC (German Drivers Club).
The mechanics at the workshop used the wires to bypass the starter in order to test if it was still working.
My dad and me connected these two wires and installed a button switch which could be used to bypass the starter on demand.
Why did we committ such a weird act of Frankenstein-experiments, you may wonder. Well, the answer is simple: Before we found out that the car starts fine after pulling the GM, we were looking for an improvised way to get it running. And a switch is much nicer than bypassing the two wires with an additional wire. I'm 100% sure that this little "feature" is not messing with the car. All problems were there before and nothing changed after we did install the switch.
Anyway, my hope is on the two new GMs that I ordered from ebay. I also thought about replacing the K15 relay which controlls the power given to the GM and RM. I read this on this website: http://www.ah525i24ve34.at/HTML_ah52...ktrik_zke.html
Thank you and have a nice sunday.
As usual, best regarsd from Germany.

HeritageQuest Online (a division of ProQuest) has supplied genealogy information to libraries for years. Many public libraries subscribe to HeritageQuest Online and make the information available to patrons who visit the library. Some libraries also offer in-home access to library card holders through the library's website.
HeritageQuest Online has now announced that the genealogy information within its service is being replaced with information from Ancestry.com. Indeed, I logged onto my local public library's web site this morning, went to the HeritageQuest Online database, and performed a search for an elusive great-great-grandfather of mine. When a census page appeared on the screen it looked clearer than what I have seen before and it also had an Ancestry logo in the upper-left corner:
The changes will be uncomfortable to those who are used to searching through the old menus. They may have to learn to use new menus. However, the census image that appeared on my screen appeared to be sharper than what I have seen before. So did a few other pages I looked at although I obviously could not check all the millions of pages to see if they were all the same or not.
Parent company ProQuest did issue a press release about the change five days ago although I apparently missed it. Here is the announcement that I found this morning after performing a Google search to look for it:
ProQuest Advances Genealogical Research with HeritageQuest Online
Authoritative family history resource is now powered by Ancestry
ANN ARBOR, MI, March 4, 2015 – ProQuest is advancing the research experience for family history enthusiasts and genealogical experts with a new version of its popular HeritageQuest® Online http://bit.ly/1Dv5beg, a treasury of high quality genealogical and historical information. This authoritative family history resource, which can be accessed from the library or remotely through the library portal, has a new interface powered by Ancestry, enriching the search experience and streamlining the research process.
The new HeritageQuest Online offers new capabilities and benefits to patrons:
- The intuitive interface provides a fresh user experience that will be familiar to Ancestry.com users.
- The U.S. Federal Census 1790-1940 – a highly valued resource that now includes complete every-name indexes and unique interactive maps.
- Census data exceeding 700 million records that can now be discovered using Exact Match, Phonetic, Variant, Soundex, Wildcard and Keyword Searches.
- Searching full-text of the expanded collection of more than 40,000 family and local history books – is now enhanced with thumbnail images and hit highlighting.
- A new Image Viewer offers basic and advanced capabilities without any plug-in, making it easy to share images with family and friends.
- Image resolution that is significantly improved with the addition of greyscale and color.
"The enhancements in HeritageQuest Online illustrate a commitment to transforming the research experience for the growing community of genealogists," said Andon Baltakov, vice president, product management, ProQuest. "ProQuest's comprehensive collection of family history resources and historical news delivers a winning combination to help library patrons discover their family history."
The enhancements are a result of the expanded partnership and distribution agreement between ProQuest and Ancestry announced last June.

Imran Khan stable, urges public to vote on May 11
Pakistani politician Imran Khan was being treated for a head injury on Wednesday after falling at an election rally, the latest dramatic turn in a campaign that has seen more than 100 people killed in attacks.india Updated: May 08, 2013 10:44 IST
Pakistani politician Imran Khan was being treated for a head injury on Wednesday after falling at an election rally, the latest dramatic turn in a campaign that has seen more than 100 people killed in attacks.
Television footage showed Khan, leader of the Pakistan Movement for Justice party (PTI), bleeding from the head after tumbling from a makeshift lift transporting him onto a stage in Pakistan's second-largest city of Lahore.
But in a televised statement from his hospital bed shortly after, the former cricketer urged people to vote for his party in Saturday's polls.
"I did whatever I could for this country. Now remember 11th May, come out and vote for PTI without considering its candidates, just vote for PTI," he said, wearing a neck brace and speaking in a weak voice.
The former cricketer's accident came at the end of a day that saw 18 people killed and dozens wounded in bomb attacks in northwest Pakistan ahead of the general election.
In another attack Wednesday, one woman was killed and 15 people wounded when a suicide bomber crashed his explosives-packed car into a barrier outside a police station in the troubled northwest.
The poll will mark a democratic milestone in a country ruled for half its history by the military, as the first time a civilian government has served a full term and handed over to another through the ballot box.
Khan, who won only one seat in 2002 and boycotted polls in 2008, has led an electric campaign, galvanising the middle class and young people in what he has called a "tsunami" of support that will propel him into office.
The 60-year-old, who has undertaken a punishing schedule of daily rallies but who is known for his physical fitness, fell from an overcrowded lift platform at the election rally along with several of his staff.
Witness Raza Zaidi told AFP that Khan was being lifted on a crane with five people but lost his balance and fell when a sixth one tried to climb up. He hit the lift before falling on the ground.
"Imran Khan has one head injury. We are conducting his CT scan and other tests. He is stable, he is conscious and he is recognising people. He is all right," Faisal Sultan, the director of Shaukat Khanum hospital, told reporters.
PTI spokeswoman Shirin Mazari told AFP Khan was injured on his forehead after falling from a height of more than seven feet (two metres). Television images showed him being transported on a stretcher, his head swathed in bandages.
Supporters at the rally venue, where thousands had gathered, expressed their concern after the horrifying fall.
"Passion and love for Imran Khan brought all these people here. We are still here, all we can do is pray now," said Sobia Khan, a PTI supporter.
Party officials had initially said he would be back to address the rally but he was later transferred from a small private hospital to the Shaukat Khanum cancer hospital he set up in honour of his mother.
Hundreds of well-wishers and party supporters gathered outside the hospital, chanting "Long Live Imran Khan", an AFP reporter said.
Khan's main rival, former prime minister Nawaz Sharif who is tipped to win the election, conveyed his sympathies, his Pakistan Muslim League-N party spokesman Siddiqul Farooq told AFP.
Later, Sharif announced the cancellation of campaign activities on Wednesday.
Wednesday's blast at the police station brings the number of deaths in attacks on politicians and political parties since mid-April to 111, according to an AFP tally.
The Pakistani Taliban have condemned the polls as un-Islamic and directly threatened the main parties in the outgoing ruling coalition led by the secular Pakistan People's Party (PPP).
The suicide bomber struck early Wednesday in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, which is rife with Taliban and Al-Qaeda-led militancy.
"We have confirmation of the death of one woman in the suicide attack near Domail police station in Bannu. More than 15 people have been wounded including six policemen and two kids," local police chief Abdul Ghafoor Afridi told AFP.
Afridi said seven houses and part of the police station also collapsed due to the impact of the blast.

Egypt rights groups allege police brutality on the rise
Groups call for firing of Egypt's interior minister
Egyptian rights groups alleged Wednesday that police abuse and brutality are on the rise in detention centres and at demonstrations, which have intensified since the second anniversary of the uprising that ousted longtime leader Hosni Mubarak.
More than a dozen groups charged in a statement that police were reverting back to the systematic torture that prevailed under Mubarak's autocratic regime. "Some of the crimes have even gone beyond that," the statement said.
The groups hold President Mohammed Morsi, Egypt's first elected leader after Mubarak's ouster, responsible for failing to stop or condemn such practices. They called on him to sack his interior minister, who oversees the police, and try him in connection with the deaths of nearly 60 protesters since last month across Egypt.
Interior Minister Mohammed Ibrahim denied Tuesday that his forces have shot at protesters, and said only the prime minister can fire him. Ibrahim said his forces don't confront peaceful protesters, and have only used tear gas to break up the deadly riots.
Forced to bark on his knees
As part of a 10-point initiative, the rights groups asked for more transparency and accountability on crimes committed against protesters since the uprising. They also called for an overhaul of the nation's security forces.
In a widely watched TV program late Tuesday, one victim, whose case was documented by the groups, told viewers of harrowing treatment he received while he was detained for more than 48 hours earlier this month, including being forced to fall to his knees and bark.
"They asked me to choose a woman's name so they can use (it) for me. It was the easiest part of the torture," Ayman Mohanna told the privately owned ONTV station.
He said he was detained with nearly 50 others in a small room where the floor was flooded with water and then electrified.
"We would be jumping up and down like grilled fish," he told the station.
Hossam Bahgat, the head of the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights, one of the groups documenting testimonies of detainees, said on the TV program that security agents used physical abuse mainly to extract confessions but also to humiliate and punish those who took part in protests.
The groups claim security agents' crackdown on protesters and activists has intensified since Jan. 25, when hundreds of thousands of protesters took to the streets across Egypt to mark the second anniversary of the start of the uprising against Mubarak's rule.
The protests were critical of Morsi and his government as many Egyptians are growing frustrated over the continued turmoil since Mubarak's ouster in Feb. 2011. Rallies turned to clashes in several cities with police firing tear gas and protesters throwing stones at government offices. At least six civilians were killed.
The violence turned more deadly two days later when a court handed down death sentences to 21 residents of the coastal city of Port Said in connection with a deadly soccer riot a year ago. Angry locals gathered outside the city's prison, demanding that their relatives be freed, and decrying the verdict as unjust.
Opened fire at funerals
According to the rights groups, Egyptian security forces opened fire on protesters and at funerals the following day, leaving more than 40 people killed. Ibrahim, the interior minister, claimed in comments to reporters that the first two people who died were policemen.
The rights groups claim the security forces used excessive force to break up the riots outside the prison.
"This has become more aggressive than during the Mubarak days," said Malek Adly, a lawyer of the Egyptian Center for Economic and Social Rights, one of the groups issuing the statement.
Adly compared the riots in Port Said with one of the most threatening protests against Mubarak before the uprising. In 2008, thousands of protesters tore down Mubarak's pictures, stepped on them and clashed with the police in the city of Mahalla. Adly alleged that police were responsible for killing three people during that demonstration.
Adly also said more than 1,000 people, including minors, were detained in recent weeks.
Rights groups have also reported the death of a number of activists, including a member of an opposition group, who was allegedly tortured to death in detention. A state medical report denied he was tortured.
The groups say Morsi bears responsibility for failing to stop or condemn such practices. In at least one incident, Morsi thanked the police for the way it handled the protests and described the demonstrators as thugs or die-hard Mubarak loyalists trying to bring down the state.
"Matters were made worse by repeating mistakes of the past when the presidency and the government were late in intervening or condemning such crimes, or taking serious immediate measures to stop them and hold the culprits accountable," the groups said in their statement.
General strikes
The groups called for the sacking of the Morsi-appointed chief prosecutor for allegedly failing to investigate cases of abuse.
The discontent over the violent crackdown on protesters in the city of Port Said has turned into a general strike campaign in the city. For the fourth day, activists, factory workers and students held rallies in the city and observed a work stoppage that has brought the coastal city on the northern tip of the Suez Canal to a halt.
Shipping in the international waterway has not been affected.
In some cases, activists have enforced participation in the strike, chanting outside government offices for employees to join them and obstructing entrances to factories. On Wednesday, one of the largest companies operating a container terminal in Port Said said its workers were unable to reach the terminal the day before because of the strike.
The protesters are demanding retribution for those killed during the violent clashes late last month and a new investigation into the incident, which they blame on security forces.

Yeah, we know the Blendtec "Will It Blend" stunt is getting old. But considering the particular objects up for wanton destruction in the above video, we think it's worth a look. See, Apple fans are quick to point to the iPhone 5's "superior materials" and to Samsung's plastic construction as part of their justification for selecting one over the other. But is Aluminum really stronger than plastic? (it is, it is) Does it matter in a phone, though? Does that add to its ability to survive the spinning blades of a Blendtec Total Blender? Does the use of stronger materials automatically mean a stronger phone?

Semarang (Indonesia)
Semarang, Indonesia is a port city with an estimated population of 1,026,671 (1988) located on the northeastern coast of the island of Java, roughly 500 km (308 miles) east of Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia. As the capital city of the province of Central Java, Semarang has many important roles to play.
In 1988 the synod offices of the Persatuan Gereja-Gereja Kristen Muria Indonesia (Muria [Mennonite] Christian Church of Indonesia) were located in Semarang, as were three of its congregations. The formation of the first Muria congregation in Semarang in 1958 represented the first major push of the church beyond the Muria area.
The most prominent ministry of the Muria church based in Semarang was their ICHTHUS radio station. A congregation of the Gereja Injili di Tanah Java (Javanese Mennonite Conference) was also established in Semarang.

artistsspace.org, as it was
Today, storied NYC arts nonprofit Artists Space relaunched their website. Overall, it's a playful refinement, yet one that loses the old artistsspace.org's most defining feature: its oversized royal purple triangle cursor, derived from the institution's longstanding "A"-oriented visual identity. (A breezy and engaging history of which, given by Rob Giampietro in 2011, can be found here.) In fact, against the site's sparse backdrop, the cursor was, more or less, the design.[1]
Created by Studio Manuel Raeder, Artists Space's deceased cursor was hulking, distracting, so wonderfully weird. It was an input object that always left you wondering whether you'd clicked, and where. On an internet that values user comfort and control above all, the cursor asserted difference and disobedience—what we look for in art, in general.

Pope Benedict: 'Jesus Prays for the Church in All Times'
The Holy Father spoke about Christ's 'priestly prayer' at the Last Supper on the last day of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity on Jan. 25, the feast of the conversion of St. Paul.
VATICAN CITY (EWTN NEWS)—Jesus' "priestly prayer" at the Last Supper for Christian unity should inspire Catholics to pray and work it, Pope Benedict XVI said on Jan. 25.
"His priestly prayer can thus be seen as instituting the Church, the community of the disciples, who, through faith in him, are made one and share in his saving mission," the Pope said at his weekly general audience.
He also urged Catholics to pray "for the gift of the visible unity of all Christ's followers, so that the world may believe in the Son and in the Father who sent him."
The Pope addressed his remarks to thousands of pilgrims gathered in the Vatican's Paul VI Hall on the feast of the Conversion of St. Paul, the day that brings the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity to a close.
The "priestly prayer" of Christ is recalled most vividly in Chapter 17 of the Gospel of St. John. In order to understand "its immense richness," said Pope Benedict, it must be seen "against the backdrop of the Jewish feast of expiation, Yom Kippur."
During Yom Kippur, he explained, the Jewish high priest sought "atonement first for himself, then for the order of priests, and finally for the community as a whole."
In an identical fashion, "Jesus, as priest and victim, prays that the Father will glorify him in this, the hour of his sacrifice of reconciliation." Jesus also "asks the Father to consecrate his disciples, setting them apart and sending them forth to continue his mission in the world."
The Pope then broke down the prayer into its three main parts.
Benedict XVI first touched on Jesus' prayer that he would be glorified, when he said, "Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son so that your Son may glorify you."
The Pope pointed out that this prayer is "more than a request." It is "a declaration of willingness to enter freely and generously into the Father's plan, which is accomplished through death and resurrection."
As the new High Priest, the glory Jesus seeks for himself "is to be fully obedient to the Father, an obedience which leads him to fulfill his filial status."
The second prayer Jesus prays to his Father is for his disciples, who "do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world. Sanctify them in the truth."
"To sanctify means to transfer something, a person or thing, to God," explained Pope Benedict. This involves two complementary aspects of "segregation" or being "set apart" from the world, and then "being sent out" to evangelize the world.
For the disciples of Christ, this meant continuing "Jesus' mission," he said.
Finally, Jesus prays for future generations of Christians: "I ask not only on behalf of these, but also on behalf of those who will believe in me through their word." In this "Jesus prays for the Church in all times; he also prays for us," said the Pope.
"The main element in Jesus' priestly prayer for his disciples," he taught, "is his request for the future unity of those who will believe in him."
Christian unity is "not a worldly achievement" and "derives exclusively from divine unity and comes down to us from the Father, through the Son and in the Holy Spirit," the Pope said.
This was the latest installment in the Pope's weekly catechesis on prayer. He concluded the gathering by leading those present in singing the Our Father in Latin, before imparting his apostolic blessing.

I haven't run in a few weeks. Tell me why I signed up for 2 5ks and one is on SATURDAY?!?! I thought I had at least 2 weeks still! Holy Cannoli, Batman! I do miss running. I hope I haven't set myself up for more injuries or making my existing condition worse. I am not going to try for a PR at this point. I would just like to finish.
Anywho, seems like I never posted what I have below from 10/5 (starting at Bah Hum Bug!). No changes to my entry though…I still have no updates b/c I haven't seen the PT yet 😦
~~~~~~~~~~~~ (below entry from 10/5)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bah Hum Bug!
I finally caught this running bug and now, I have to go back to walking and running, but not when it hurts (but it hurts right away).
I've got the right shoes for my running style and gait.
I've got proper insoles (SuperFeet).
I've got, probably, an incorrect running form.
I've got a pain that shoots up my leg…that comes out of nowhere when I'm going up/down stairs…walking…jogging…changing from sitting position to standing.
Apparently, my "soleus muscle is quite angry" at me.
What does this mean?
It means I need to walk more than run.
Stop running as soon as I feel pain.
Once I get approved, I need at least 2 one hour sessions a week with a PT/Sports Med Doc…
It means that the races I had lined up in October and November are no longer feasible.

So the original French title of the song "Windmills of Your Mind" translates as "Windmills of My Heart". Somebody with more talent than I could probably spin that factlet out into a lengthy essay on the difference between the Continental and Analytic strands of philosophy in the Twentieth Century.
Instead it behooves me to bow to the inevitable wheel within a wheel and present to you like a tunnel within a tunnel, like a turd within a loo, Vox Day reviewing Jordan Peterson's Twelve Rules for Life. Regular Link and Archive Link.
Fairs fair, I'll concede to agree with a lot of what Vox Day writes about Peterson here. Elsewhere, Vox is going further off the rails trying to dismantle Peterson's theory of truth. Of course, Peterson doesn't actually have a theory of truth, he's just spouting the first thing that comes into his head and then covering up the mess with argle-bargle. Vox's main concern is that Peterson is offering a heretical alternative to Vox's more extreme position on the question of 'how pro-fascism can we be without admitting it'. Peterson I'll grant is somebody who really doesn't want to be a fascist but for reasons best known to him has accepted a whole pile of premises which makes him susceptible to right wing authoritarianism. Is 'fascist ideation' a concept? I feel uneasy just making up a term by adding 'ideation' to it.
"However, the more sophisticated reader cannot help but notice that Peterson does not follow his own rules, particularly the three which relate to speaking precisely, telling the truth, and getting one's own house in order before trying to fix the world."
Correct and I think this is the most obvious and negating of Peterson's book. He fails on all three fronts in the book itself and even more broadly when you look at his wider statements, videos etc.
This next paragraph by Vox Day also is hard to disagree with:
"Peterson is an engaging and accessible writer when he is simply recounting events of the past or relating experiences from his own life. He is a sympathetic author, and he effectively communicates the way in which the tragedy and suffering he has experienced throughout his life have made a deep impression on his psyche. It is when he tries to wax profound and articulate his underlying philosophy that his writing invariably wades into a swamp of nonsensical name-dropping that is less Jungian than Joycean, a meandering waking stream of consciousness that not only fails to substantially support the nominal premise, but often bears no relationship to it whatsoever."
After that Vox's review becomes less insightful. His agenda here is to try and negate the influence of Peterson on people within Vox Day's target audience – the ideologically adrift anti-left seeking order. His capacity to critique Peterson is limited by his inability to address many of Peterson's more silly ideas because Vox shares many of them (e.g. IQ essentialism, dominance hierarchies as the main tool for analysing society etc.)
Vox correctly points out that Peterson is not a conventional Christian but then neither is Vox Day. He also says that Peterson is not of the right but fails to explain how he is of either the centre or the left. Vox is closer to understanding Peterson when he focuses on his essential incoherence but pushes on as if the contradictions Peterson pushes don't matter and a single message can be divined within the details.
Who is worse? Vox is a clearer writer when it comes to non-fiction but then he says much worse things than Peterson does but then again Peterson seems to be a more prevelant gateway drug for this nonsense. It's just a layers of appaling really…it's like…it's like…
Like a fascist reviewing fascists,
Like a heel reviewing heels,
Like some nonsense written clearly,
Like some similie on wheels,
Like some appalling human being
With a mega-selling book,
Like a wannabe sci-fi author,
With a podgy skin-head look,
Like a tunnel in a tunnel with a tunnel underneath,
Like a really boring lecture on the nature of belief,
Like a song with too many lyrics,
Like Canadian academe,
Like you really hate this party,
But you don't want to make a scene,
Like the windmills that you start,
In the Netherlands of your heart.

The following is the official statement from Chris Roos, Secretary Treasurer of Teamsters Local 1035 in South Windsor, CT in regard to the tragic deaths of nine people at Hartford Distributors today.
"On behalf of Teamsters Local 1035 I would like to extend our heartfelt condolences to the families of all the victims of today's tragedy at Hartford Distributors.
"We have lost friends and family as a result of today's incident and we must work together to healp each other through this difficult time.
" Omar Thornton was a member of Teamsters 1035 and worked at Hartford Distributors as a driver. Thornton was scheduled to meet with the company with his union representatives this morning at 7:30 a.m. to discuss matters that could have affected his continued employment with the company. Bryan Cirigliano, President of Teamsters Local 1035 was in attendance at this meeting as Thornton's union representative. It is our understanding that it was at this time Thornton allegedly shot and killed Cirigliano, a company representative and six of our members at the facility. All of these people were at work just trying to do their jobs.
"During the time that Thornton was represented by Local 1035, he reported no concerns about racial discrimination to the union, despite some media reports suggesting that he had complained about such concerns. We take the representation of all of our members very seriously. In every unit that we represent, we strive to ensure that all workers are treated with dignity and respect, regardless of their individual backgrounds.
"We grieve with all of the families that are touched by this terrible tragedy."
The International Brotherhood of Teamsters has established a fund to raise money for the families of the victims of Tuesday's shootings at Hartford Distributors in Manchester.
"The Teamsters Union will donate the first $50,000," Teamsters General President Jim Hoffa said in a release.

hey all !
i remember reading some posts about "Ensure" posted by rose (EarthMother2Angels) and some members of the MS forum.
i came across this article today and although i already knew what ensure contained because i had read the labels, i thought this might be interesting for those who do take ensure to supplement their meals or in place of a meal.
this article was written by a woman who was dying of ovarian cancer: http://www.healthy-holistic-living.c...nks.html?t=HHL
this is the list of ingredients that are in their "orange drink" (click on the pics to enlarge and see ingredients):Ensure is owned by Abbott Nutrition, one of the worst examples of a Big Food corporation masquerading as a healthy alternative you'll ever see. The company has deep ties to the medical industry and as such you can find their products in just about every hospital today, which is bad news for millions of patients who are just trying to get healthier.... It makes big claims to customers such as "#1 Doctor Recommended" and "Worldwide Leader in Nutritional Science" but in reality, their products are as far away from a healthy meal as you can get. Sadly, these products are often given to patients in extremely poor health, who need proper nutrition the most. Instead, when consuming these products they are receiving the following: preservatives, fillers, and chemicals. To make matters worse, Abbott Nutrition is a member of the notorious pro-GMO organization the Grocery Manufacturers Association, and to date has given nearly a million dollars to fight against GMO labeling in the United States.
not even one fruit!
here is a list of ingredients from the ensure plus line:
ensure plus.jpg
i know many people aren't concerned about gmo's and that is fine. what i think is more important is these drinks are mostly water, sugar and some vitamins that you're paying an exorbitant amount of money for, which is all going to abbott labs. i know convenience is important and i know not feeling well and having to make something to eat is hard, but with a little planning, you can make something in your blender or food processor which has so much more nutrition and is real food!
all you have to have on hand is milk or powdered milk or whatever other milk you drink (almond, hemp, rice, soy), some frozen fruit, maybe peanut butter, greek yogurt (double the protein of regular and you can freeze it, too) and if you want, some kind of protein powder, either whey (milk based) or plant based protein powder. a cup of milk, half a cup of yogurt, some protein powder, or not, and frozen fruit (which thickens up the shake) and 2 minutes later, your blender has produced a wonderful supplemental drink for you which will prolly cost you dollars less than ensure and give your body real nutrition.
i have been reading labels in supermarket aisles since the 80's. i think a lot of processed foods have too much sugar, salt and non-pronounceable ingredients. if you can't pronounce it, your body doesn't know what it is either . i hope i have given you food for thought today!
thank you for reading,

"If I am a wrongdoer and have committed anything for which I deserve to die, I do not seek to escape death. But if there is nothing to their charges against me, no one can give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar." Acts 25:11.
The apostle Paul had been arrested and was in prison for two years in Caesarea. Festus, the new Roman governor, wishing to do the Jews a favor, asked Paul if he wanted to go to Jerusalem for trial. Paul replied that he should be tried before Caesar's tribunal. Festus replied "To Caesar you have appealed, to Caesar you shall go."
I was standing at the site of the Roman governor's palace on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea in Caesarea, Israel. I was in the ruins of the outer courtyard. This was the place where official business was carried on by Festus and the other governors. This was likely the very ground where almost 2,000 years ago Paul appeared before Festus.
Caesarea was built by Herod the Great in 25-13 BCE upon the ruins of earlier Phoenician settlements begun in 586 BCE during the Persian era. It was the administrative center for Judea in Roman times. It was a planned city with a network of crisscrossing roads, a temple, hippodrome, amphitheater, markets, and residential quarters.
Some of the villas must have been magnificent, with mighty columns and a view to the Mediterranean Sea.
Even today fancy floor mosaics are still visible among the foundations of the excavated building ruins.
Every five years the city hosted major sports competitions and gladiator games in the hippodrome, and theatrical productions in the amphitheater overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.
As I walked around the U-shaped hippodrome, I imagined what it must have been like back then. Twelve thousand spectators found their seats in the stands while the rich and powerful people sat on the special viewing platform at the finish line. The chariots lined up at the starting line for the race to the tight U-turn where fortunes could be won or lost in a heartbeat.
The city flourished from Roman times into the Byzantine period of 324-638 CE, but Caesarea lost its political and economic significance after the Arab conquest in 640 CE. It was conquered by the Crusaders in 1101 and fortified with massive walls and a dry moat by King Louis IX of France in 1251. Conquered again by the Mamelukes in 1265, Caesarea was destroyed and deserted. Its ruins became a source of lime and building stones for the region over the centuries.
Despite the destruction, the 4,000 seat theater is still standing. The day I visited, preparations were being made for a concert by one of Israel's top singers. The stone ledges looked like uncomfortable seats for a long show. Do you think they had stadium cushions in Roman times?

The Man Booker judges have the tough job of picking literary perfection. But how powerful is the written word? We asked those in the know if a single book can define an entire place
In its 40 years, the Man Booker Prize has taken us to strange and unusual places: WWII theatres of war; vivid flashbacks in a Wexford coastal village and wakes in Dublin.
Over that time the Man Booker Prize has, according to Ian Trewin, Literary Director of the Man Booker Prize Foundation, "…become influential beyond the wildest dreams of its founding fathers."
But how influential can a book be? Can it define a place for us before we've seen it? Can it make our mind up about how rugged a coast is, or capture the soul of a city?
With three Irish authors in named in the MBP's 2013 shortlist we asked Ireland's literary community if a book can define a place.
Yeats, Synge, Edna O'Brien – Ireland's west has inspired writers for centuries. Irene Graham's Creative Writer's Workshop is beautifully located on the western islands.
When asked if a western book or author has adequately defined the region, Irene had an unexpected suggestion:
"Liam O'Flaherty from Inis Mor Island comes automatically to mind. Liam is unfortunately a long forgotten writer. Many of his works have a common thread of nature and Ireland, especially The Black Soul, perhaps autobiographical fiction, where a tormented former soldier seeks tranquility from the seasons and the sea, and the raw beauty of the Aran Islands".
Dublin's Unesco City of Literature status sits lightly on the shoulders of this literary town. For Deputy City Librarian, Brendan Teeling, it's impossible to choose one book that encapsulates the city:
"Dublin is really a City of Literature and it's impossible to come up with just one book. James Joyce's Dubliners and Ulysses are quintessentially Dublin and contemporary books like Sebastian Barry's A Long Long Way and Joseph O'Connor's Ghost Light cover the same period but with a modern perspective.
Of course, given the year that's in it Strumpet City will be the most read Dublin book. Then there are some great novels which tell the story of modern Dublin - Roddy Doyle's Barrytown Trilogy springs to mind, as does Christine Dwyer Hickey's The Cold Eye of Heaven."
Featured again in this year's shortlist, Colm Toibin's odes to Wexford have become essential reading for lovers of the south east. Meanwhile, John Banville's MBP winner, The Sea, is a deep and reflective visit to the same county.

Northern Ireland is literature. Literally. A childhood tramping Down's Mourne Mountains planted Narnia in C.S Lewis' imagination. In Belfast, Gulliver's Travels author Jonathan Swift is said to have been inspired by the face-shaped rock known as Napoleon's nose.
The Mourne Mountains, County Down
David Lewis of UK City of Culture Derry-Londonderry is keen to unearth a hidden gem of Northern Ireland's written word:
"It's little known actually, but one of the 20th century's greatest novelists came from Belfast, Brian Moore. In addition to Moore, everyone should read The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearn for a bleak but brilliant portrait of Belfast in the 1940s. If you wanted to read only one novel, however, it should be Call My Brother Back by Michael McLaverty. The book encapsulates the experience of a country boy from Rathlin Island on the north coast moving to the industrial behemoth that was Belfast in the 1920s. Coping with the move, and seeing his family caught up in the sectarian mapping of Belfast is beautifully brought to the page by McLaverty, an unsung master of style and character."
The Blasket Sound, County Kerry
The Blasket Island authors and an abundance of literary festivals is some clue as to the southern region's literary pedigree. For Cara Trant, Manager of the Senachaí – Kerry Writer's Museum, it's the work of a certain playwright that embodies the flavour of the south:
"Though best known as a playwright, for me John B. Keane's novel, The Bodhrán Makers, reflects the rich culture & character of his community." Cara says. "The novel tells the tale of perennial battle between a handful of families who celebrate the pagan Wrendance festival and the Catholic Church in the fictional town of Dirrabeg. The sound of the bodhrán comes to represent the gaiety and poetry of a life lived for fun rather than fear."
So can a country fit in a book? Maybe. But if you really want to know how Ireland ticks, you know where we are...
