For most of two decades, convicted pedophile Christopher Miller conducted real-life lessons in how to avoid paying for your crimes. ¶ He was accused of molesting two young boys in Southern California over extended periods of time. He was arrested three times for possessing child porn. But he spent less than five years in custody after three convictions, resuming his behavior after each release.
By 2009, he had become Contra Costa County's problem. Miller moved to Bay Point and repeatedly molested an 11-year-old boy.
Now, he may finally do serious time in prison, after being convicted of 29 child molestation charges, as well as a child pornography count, in late May. At his Aug. 2 sentencing hearing, he could receive more than 69 years in prison.
Miller's case, documented in court papers, shows how the 42-year-old pedophile took advantage of a system and its victims. He cooperated with a law enforcement investigation and brokered plea deals to get reduced sentences. He discouraged victims and family members from testifying, thus avoiding more serious charges. He also benefited from California sentencing standards for crimes deemed neither "violent" nor "serious."
"For more than 20 years, Miller — a predator and a con artist — groomed his child victims into believing his crimes were acts of love, and then he manipulated their mothers from reporting him to law enforcement," said Contra Costa prosecutor Melissa Smith.
She calls Miller one of Contra Costa's worst child sex offenders ever, one whose history offers a glimpse into how child pornography and abuse can thrive.
In the end, it took another child porn suspect using one of Miller's own tricks against him to stop him.
Helping police
In 1994, the 23-year-old Miller was caught in a Southern California child pornography sting. He was duped into mailing a package of photos and slides to a sheriff's office mailbox — along with a short letter describing sex acts he committed against a 13-year-old boy, court documents show.
"What a doll, huh? This is just before I started (performing oral sex). He's a cute little guy," he wrote in the letter.
Investigators then persuaded Miller — who had no criminal record at the time — to help them catch Southern California child porn kingpin Timothy Starcher, who had provided videos to Miller. Police feared Starcher was infecting young boys with AIDS. With Miller's help, Starcher was arrested with police finding thousands of slides of young boys, 20 videotapes and nine boxes of magazines in his apartment, among other evidence.
The boy referenced in Miller's letter, whom he met through a youth ministry, wouldn't cooperate with police.
This newspaper is not naming any of Miller's victims or their relatives to protect the victims' identities.
On June 2, 1995, thanks to his law enforcement assistance and because no molestation charges were filed, Miller pleaded guilty to child porn possession and spent 10 days in jail and was placed on probation.
In what would become his modus operandi, Miller would later marry that 13-year-old victim's mother to get access to the boy, Smith said. The couple later had twin boys.
Serving half-time
In 1999, investigators conducting a probation check on Miller searched his computer and found a trove of child porn images. Pedophile chat room posts were found on his work computer as well, showing Miller had been fantasizing over a 5-year-old neighborhood boy. Miller had stolen photos of the boy from a drugstore photo processor, uploading them on the site. He also sent photos of his own twin boys to a known pedophile, court records show.
Miller was convicted on two counts of distributing child porn and one count of possessing it.
After his release from jail, Miller stole the identity of his by-then-ex-wife — the couple divorced in December 2001 — to buy a computer. He was caught when he tried to pawn that computer, and investigators found even more child porn. He was convicted of theft, burglary and child porn with a prior offense charges on Nov. 26, 2002.
For the 1999 and 2002 cases, Miller was sentenced to a total of 32 months in prison, but because none of the charges was considered violent or serious, he only had to serve half of that sentence.
Two California penal codes determine which crimes are "violent" or "serious"; none of the child pornography offenses falls into either category.
Pattern emerges
Around 2004, a Texas couple moved to California to facilitate their young son's blossoming acting and modeling career. The family met Miller, by this time a registered sex offender, who introduced them to the Young Artists Award Show, an annual production recognizing child actors. Miller brought the 11-year-old boy to the festivities.
Miller targeted the boy's mother, too, and the pair started having an affair, Smith said. The boy began to spend nights at Miller's Southern California home, where significant abuse started, the boy's father said.
By 2007, the suspicious father found emails from Miller on the family laptop discussing child torture and child pornography. Miller's intent quickly became clear.
"He chooses children and goes after their mothers to have the greatest access to kids," the father, who divorced his wife, said in an interview with this newspaper. "He's extremely intelligent, a sociopath to the truest definition, very articulate. … You'd never guess it in a million years."
The father alerted authorities, and Miller was arrested. The embarrassed boy told his story to investigators, who declined to file molestation charges because the boy's story had discrepancies, the father said. Smith said that is a frequent challenge in child molestation prosecutions, where it is critical that the child testify.
On Aug. 2, 2007, Miller was convicted of one count of possessing child porn. He was sentenced to four years in prison, but again only had to serve half, and he had already accrued 320 days in custody.
Upon his release from prison on Christmas Day 2008, Miller was out for revenge, the father said. Miller began distributing 10 explicit videos of the child actor, along with vicious letters, to the boy's agents, casting directors, friends, family and others in the entertainment industry.
"It went global," the father said. "Take your worst nightmare and multiply that by 10, and then imagine yourself being a 12-year-old and what impact that would have on you."
Since Miller had failed to register after his prison release, law enforcement — bogged down by large sex-offender caseloads — could not find him to stop it.
During the next year, the father said he spent "six figures" on private investigators to track down Miller — unsuccessfully — and on an attorney to remove videos as they appeared online.
Miller would later tell investigators he got sexual gratification from ruining the boy's reputation. He told another pedophile in a chat room, "He's horrified. … There's nothing he can do about it and they will never, ever go away," according to court documents.
Close to justice?
Miller moved to Bay Point and became the roommate of a man named Jonathan, who he met in a pedophile chat room.
The pair lived with Jonathan's 8-year-old adopted son. Jonathan — a former senior clerk with Contra Costa's Children and Family Services, the agency that coordinates adoptions — is now serving a six-year sentence at Salinas Valley State Prison for molesting his adopted son.
Contra Costa Employment and Human Services spokeswoman Lauren Brosnan said agency employees "do not receive preferential treatment" for foster services or adoptions. Jonathan's foster parent license was revoked when he was arrested in December 2009, she said.
While Miller lived there, the 8-year-old befriended two brothers who lived in the Bay Point condominium complex. Miller began molesting one of those brothers, who was 11. In June 2009, Miller ingratiated himself with the brothers' disabled and financially troubled mother and moved into their Bay Point house, molesting her son five nights a week.
Miller was finally stopped the same way he had avoided serious prison in the past: Another pedophile took a deal to help East Coast investigators catch a big fish who had been sending him child porn. This time Miller was the big fish; he was arrested at the Bay Point house.
Investigators seized Miller's computer and found child pornography and chat logs from pedophilia and child torture rooms on it. Also found were numerous photos of the 11-year-old brother, including some in which the boy was hogtied.
Miller's victim testified this time — barely. Before his testimony, the "despondent" boy asked Smith if he could testify with his hoodie up so he could feel safe, Smith said. One veteran sex-crimes detective told the prosecutor the boy was the "most withdrawn and devastated victim he's seen his entire career."
Miller continued manipulating from jail, even proposing to the Bay Point mother to get her to recant her son's testimony, Smith said.
The Contra Costa County jury took less than three hours to convict Miller.
As for the boy, "I think this is a clear example of a victim who can never be made whole, but that the justice system works," Smith said. "This jury verdict is as close as we can come to justice."

Studies show varying results as to whether inmates convicted of sex crimes will return to prison.
California offenders required to register as sex offenders have slightly higher recidivism rates than those who do not register. (Within three years, 67 percent re-offend, compared with 65 percent of those who don't.)
Among California registered sex offenders' recommitment offenses, 84 percent are for parole violations, 10 percent for a new non-sex crime and 6 percent are for a new sex crime.
The recidivism rate for federal child pornography offenders is 30 percent, with more than 7 percent for sex-related offenses.

Digitization education is one of dLOC's primary goals. To support digitization education, dLOC provides both tools and training. The dLOC Technical and Training teams collaborate, train, and assist all partners. As of 2014, dLOC has provided more than 50 onsite training visits. For more information on the trainings, see the Newsletter.

- SobekCM METS Editor for dLOC
- dLOC created the SobekCM METS Editor software to streamline local workflows and facilitate the creation of submission packages conformant to dLOC's technical and metadata specifications. This is written in C# for use on Windows PCs.
Every item in dLOC is associated, upon submission into the dLOC repository, with a Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard (METS) file that describes descriptive, administrative, and structural information relevant to its display and long-term preservation. dLOC currently utilizes its own dLOC METS extension profile. The preferred descriptive metadata standard in dLOC METS is the MARC-based Metadata Object Description Schema (MODS). dLOC can also accomodate descriptive metadata in simple and qualified Dublin Core, particularly in cases where collections are harvested using the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH). The dLOC Toolkit also contains a simple, template-based, graphical user interface designed to automatically generate well-formed MODS metadata and METS wrappers from template-based user input.
For more information about creating metadata in dLOC, see the help pages or click on the field as you are creating the metadata in the SobekCM METS Editor software or self submittal tool, or contact us.
Digital Preservation: Preserving Caribbean Heritage
In addition to its mission of providing scholars with open access to rare Caribbean resources, dLOC is also dedicated to the long-term digital preservation of all materials hosted in its collections. The present need for such action in the Caribbean is urgent, especially in consideration of the region's volatile climate, which renders a more traditional approach to preservation a daunting challenge for even the finest archives and repositories.
To best assure continued access to at-risk materials, dLOC has formed a partnership with the University of Florida and the Florida Digital Archive (FDA) to redundantly back-up the entire dLOC collection in a robust, standards-compliant preservation software architecture based on the Open Archival Information System Reference (OAIS) Model.
Permissions: Rights & Responsibilities
In addition to digitizing materials following preservation standards, dLOC further supports preservation and access by ensuring that all applicable rights are respected and supported by seeking Internet distribution permissions as needed. Internet distribution permissions can be required for cultural and documentary heritage rights, privacy rights, and copyright.
Copyright is a property right that seeks to balance the rights of the creator with the rights of the global society. Copyright is but one of many rights and responsibilities that must be considered when digitizing materials. Digitization makes use of new and emerging technologies, technologies whose use may not yet have applicable laws supporting their use for the gobal public good. dLOC observes whichever copyright law affords the greatest protections: either the laws of the partner institution's home country or the laws of the country of origin.
dLOC partners frequently work with publishers and copyright owners to request permissions. Copyright owners can also grant permissions and request that their materials be archived by contacting the dLOC Coordinator.
The template for permissions requests and grants of permissions are below:
In order to digitize borrowed materials, as is often the case with newspapers, access to the physical copies and permissions from the copyright holders are required. These are the letters defining usage for borrowed newspapers:

About Us
Transition 101
Transition Towns
Knowledge Hub
The Transition Movement is comprised of vibrant, grassroots community initiatives that seek to build community resilience in the face of such challenges as peak oil, climate change and the economic crisis. Transition Initiatives differentiate themselves from other sustainability and "environmental" groups by seeking to mitigate these converging global crises by engaging their communities in home-grown, citizen-led education, action, and multi-stakeholder planning to increase local self reliance and resilience.
We are living in an age of unprecedented change, with a number of crises converging. Climate change, global economic instability, overpopulation, erosion of community, declining biodiversity, and resource wars, have all stemmed from the availability of cheap, non-renewable fossil fuels. Global oil, gas and coal production is predicted to irreversibly decline in the next 10 to 20 years, and severe climate changes are already taking effect around the world. The coming shocks are likely to be catastrophic
These 12 Ingredients (aka Steps) have grown out of the observation of what seemed to work in the early Transition Initiatives. They don't take you from A to Z but rather from A to C, which is as far as we've got with the model today. These Steps don't necessarily follow each other logically in the order they are set out here; every Transition Initiative weaves through them differently. The 12 Ingredients are still evolving, in part shaped by your experience of using them.

This book seeks to answer the question: "What would it look like if the best responses to peak oil and climate change came not from committees and Acts of Parliament, but from you and me, and the people around us?"

We live in an oil-dependent world, arriving at this level of dependency in a very short space of time by treating petroleum as if it were in infinite supply. Most of us avoid thinking about what happens when
Just in case you were under the impression that Transition is a process defined by people who have all the answers, you need to be aware of a key fact.
We truly don't know if this will work. Transition is a social experiment on a massive scale.
What we are convinced of is this:
Everything that you read on this site is the result of real work undertaken in the real world with community engagement at its heart. This site, just like the transition model, is brought to you by people who are actively engaged in transition in a community. People who are learning by doing - and learning all the time. People who understand that we can't sit back and wait for someone else to do the work. People like you.

Setting up a web server on Puppy; Quisp, Monkey
I thought Puppy had a built in web server, but I can't locate it.
Any tips on how to setup a simple web server would be much appreciated.

Answering my own question. I found a little web server in /root/ghttpd called httpd.
It seems to work just fine although I don't know much about using it.

Quisp uses that web server, its "nullhttpd" package.
I seem to recall that nullhttpd have virtually no documentation.
I also vaguely recall GuestToo getting some other web servers going, I think reported on the old forum.

Thank you Barry. The configuration file gives a little hint about how it works. I copied the necessary files to another directory under root/.usr/ghttpd
I don't know cgi so I didn't setup a cgi directory. I just want it simple. You can run the web server on any port you want. So far it tests good. Maybe GuestToo will give his recommendation about what he things would be best to use.

i had a Monkey roxapp package uploaded at one time ... i could make it a dotpup
it used to be nullhttpd had a security hole, but they fixed it, so i think nullhttpd and monkey are about the same ... monkey has some security advisories, but they are just about the default cgi files, and they don't work in Puppy anyway (no Perl or PHP)
you can easily disable the cgi anyway
they say it's better to not run servers as root
you can
su spot
and run the server as spot ... you may need to put your config files in /root/spot though
my monkey roxapp ran as spot
it is very easy to setup and use
basically, put your web files in ghttpd/htdocs
you can put other files like zip files, mp3s, pictures in there too and they can be downloaded from your server
httpd doesn't have a convenient way to run/stop it though
i did make an xmessage script to start/stop the server ... i have it somewhere
you could make 2 scripts, and drag them to the desktop to create shortcuts, or put them in the menu, or just open the folder and click them ... these 2 scripts are about as simple as you can get:
killall httpd

From the CGI-BIN you can run scripts , such as Quinsp is , as Perl , Xbasic and others as Peu or Euphoria also compiled C programs .
PHP may be a problem because its run normely from the doc directory .
I didn't have the time to find out how to do it . I ame running the Lampp that is a compilation of PHP Perl Appache and some more . The only disadvantage is that it very large .

Post subject: Monkey question for GuestToo
GuestToo, the monkey pup package was really nice work. Thanks again.
Monkey works well at the address you assigned it: 127.0.0.1:51234
I tried to set it to run on 127.0.0.1:80 and all I've been able to get is a 'connection refused' message with the browsers.
I've set the configuration files to run it on port 80 but no go. Any ideas how to set it to run on port 80?
BTW - I tested port 80 to see if it was available by using httpd and it is and httpd works 127.0.0.1:80

Post subject: I got it.
Thanks that was very big of you. You could have just said, "Learn to read."
Since I didn't read careful enough, I'd never have figured it out without you.

Post subject: Website using quisp and shsqi
Hey Bruce,
I've built a fully dynamic website using quisp and shsql that come packaged with puppy. All content from the website is stored in the shsql database and retrieved using quisp page code. I've found there are a few niggly little issues, but all can be overcome. I initially had problems with quisp not serving images, but this was resolved by using the full html url of the image in the <img src=""/>, rather than the relative path on the server.
eg "http://www.cooma.biz.tm/banner.png"
rather than "banner.png"
This is a lot slower (on my machine and connection), but it works. If you figure out a better way, please let me know
There is heaps of info available on how to set up a quisp website - Barry has provided some. If you go to Information Managers -> Quisp... and click on the examples link; there is enough to get you started.
I have just used Null httpd on Puppy, but I think Apache is a more secure choice for a production system.

It's on the to-do list to setup Quisp and nulhttpd running as a user, rather than as root.
This is what we do with didiwiki -- it runs as user "spot".
(see /root/spot).
What is your URL so I can see your Quisp pages?
...i think you posted something about this earlier, but I can't recall.
...a newsworthy item i think!

Hi Barry,
sorry about the delay in replying... I've been flat out with study, and haven't had much time for the fun things in life.
my website can be found at www.cooma.biz.tm
(or it will be in a few minutes... I'm testing the mono::live cd on my server machine at the moment)
I'm playing around with the styles at the moment, so it isn't very pretty, and I am in the middle of building a content management system. The skeleton is there, though. I am running the web server as a user (db). I'd be grateful for any feedback
in the beginning was the Logos

Post subject: Monkey as root
Ijust tried this:
if you run Monkey as root, you can use port 80
Monkey will run as root if you change the line in AppRun from:
su -c $SM - nobody &
to $SM &
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to have worked for me, as port 80 is still refused. I tried it with nulllhttp and I can acces port 80. Any help would be appreciated, as I'm still somewhat new to Linux in general.

Bugreports Kanotix-2007-Thorhammer-RC6+RC7
please put significant bugs here (if you can find any
Happy testing
- 17.09.2007, 19:01 Uhr
rt2500 wireless
On a Sager 4750V laptop, I boot with "nodhcp"
Kanotix comes up with no problems.
In a terminal as root, I do "ifconfig eth0 down
So that gets me to the postition with just rt2500 wireless available with module rt2500pci.
Now I use Network Card Config and it takes the wireless extensions with no problems.
Now I do "iwconfig" and I am presented with this message:
"Warning: Driver for device wlan0 has been compiled with version 22 of Wireless Extension, while this program supports up to version 20. Some things may be broken."
there is no ap associated.
When I do: "iwconfig wlan0 ap puttheapstringhere", Kanotix then freezes.
Other than that, it looks great!
- 17.09.2007, 19:11 Uhr
RE: rt2500 wireless
Well there 2 drivers sometimes loaded, therefore you can use
as boot option and see if there is still a driver loaded.

acritoxinstaller and "unionfs" don't get along
I tried installing Thorhammer RC6 on my laptop. The first time, I used the "unionfs" cheatcode, and got quite a few error messages from the installer. Although the installer said it'd successfully installed Kanotix, it rebooted to a non-working GRUB. (It also took forever to install.)
I tried again, without the "unionfs" cheatcode, and it worked fine.
Other notes, not bug-related:
In order to use ndiswrapper with my Broadcom wireless chipset, I had to "rmmod" and then blacklist the existing "bcm43xx" driver, and add "ndiswrapper" to /etc/modules. Afterwards, KNetworkManager works fine.
I hate ATI and its Radeon Xpress 200M chipset. In order to avoid hangs when switching from X to virtual consoles (e.g. with ctrl-alt-F1), I have to use the "radeon" driver. The open-source "ati" driver and the binary "fglrx" driver both cause a hang.
- 17.09.2007, 23:22 Uhr
acritoxinstaller and "unionfs" don
You can use
directly. Thats a nice cheat
- 20.09.2007, 01:29 Uhr
RE: acritoxinstaller and "unionfs" don
blacklist=rt2500pci at boot,
and then
modprobe rt2500
did not work & nothing in lsmod.
My madwifi works very well (just not as much range), so don't feel any pressure on this bug.

Everytime I try to install Kanotix 2007 RC6 to a partition on my HD it goes ok as it should but when I reboot and choose Kanotix it goes to a hd check routine. Pressing ESC can see:
checking root file system fsck 1.4 wip
/dev/hda5: superblock lost time mout is in the future. FIXED
/dev/hda5: superblock lost time write is in the future. FIXED
starting fsck routine as it had mounted many times before or if I had turned off computer without a properly shutdown.
I can upload my list result of lspci -v but it seems long a bit ...
My motherboard is Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS35 with Core 2 Duo E6850 3.0 GHz, 4 GB 800 mhz memory.
Two HD SATA2 of 320 GB each.
By the way, only Kanotix 2007 RC6 can boot and install on my system so far.

I have started trying live CDs on a Toshiba M105-S3041 laptop. Thorhammer RC6 is almost perfect. The only problem is with kpowersave, which always indicates that the computer is plugged in and the batteries are fully charged, even when it is running on batteries (this is using the live CD, not installed on HD). Any ideas? Thanks.
- 28.10.2007, 04:12 Uhr
I have been testing RC6 for a few weeks so far with much success and a couple problems.
tohd: working
fromhd: working
myconf: working
persistant home unencrypted: working
persistant home encrypted: NOT WORKING
/deb: working
The following errors come with "persistant encrypted home":
1/ Error when creating it: The KANOTIX configuration files could NOT be saved: ioctl:
LOOP_SET_STATUS: No such file or directory
2/ Error when rebooting: Mounting /media/hda15/kanotix.img as /home/kanotix...
File system not autodetected, try mounting with AES256 encryption
Password: (I entered the password here) then it says: ioctl:
LOOP_SET_STATUS: No such file or directory
Is there some requirement for the filesystem of the partition one is using for the encrypted persistant home, ie FAT32, ext3, ... ?
This is a very useful feature and it would be very nice if it could be working.
Thorhammer RC6 otherwise is working very well.
- 28.10.2007, 08:30 Uhr
That feature nobody tried someone else than you, if you want fix it yourself.
- 16.11.2007, 05:40 Uhr
/deb files are not used if fromhd and toram are used simultaneously.
If fromhd is used alone, /deb files are used as expected
This is true for RC6 and RC6B
- 16.11.2007, 06:35 Uhr
That's clear, as those would have needed to get copied into RAM, which is not done. Not really that usefull to put em there...

My husband is a very happy man today, Creed Aventus finally arrived at Hall's Department store. He has been waiting MONTHS and today I was able to pick up a bottle for him. And I have to tell you, it is nothing short of amazing.
The lovely Kim, who is the Creed Specialist at Hall's sent us some samples in advance and Jonathan has been wearing it in anticipation of getting his own bottle. Everywhere we go women stop him and ask him what he is wearing...it's just that good! It is without a doubt one of the best fragrances I have smelled on a man.
Aventus was inspired by Napoleon and celebrates a man of strength, power, vision and success.
You will find top notes of French Apples, Black Currant, Italian Bergamot, and a burst of Royal Pineapple.
Middle notes of Exquisite roses and dry birch, moroccan Jasmine with a hint of patchouli
Base Notes of musk with a touch of oak moss for depth, then ambergris with a dab of Vanilla.
If you don't have a Neiman Marcus or a Hall's nearby, you can order HERE
Trust me, your husband will thank you and you might even find yourself giving a spritz here or there...

[Publisher's Commentary]
Some so-called American "peace" organizations seem oblivious to the fact that the warfare they are now advocating may cause more innocent blood to be spilled in the northern part of Uganda.
They have gathered activists, celebrities, academics and politicians from all over the world for what's been billed as "Lobby Days," June 22-23, in Washington, D.C., with the objective to pressure U.S. lawmakers into backing military attacks to deal once and for all a mortal blow to the "one man" who is holding the entire Central Africa region "hostage."
That one man is supposedly Joseph Kony.
This is of course Hollywood fantasy and was also done as a public relations ploy to deflect attention from the "second man," who is actually responsible for more genocide in Central Africa –in Rwanda, in eastern Congo, and in the concentration camps in Acholi—and that second man is Yoweri Museveni.
This ploy must be vigorously opposed because often times American foreign policy has indeed operated in Hollywood fashion. If any one doubts these words, just look at the layout and the colors of Resolve's website and the lineup of some of the speakers.
Please see http://www.resolveuganda.org/
That's what often happens when idealistic Americans, starving for a cause, stumble blindly and rather than doing good, may cause more harm, especially when some of the leaders have their own not-so-hidden agendas.
The Hollywood strategists are about to do to Uganda what they did to the Sudan; glamorize the conflict to attract celebrities and thereby drown the issues except the ones they want to highlight.
It is hardly just Kony.
Many people and organizations actually benefit and profit from the wars in Central Africa, especially Uganda's 23 years war: These include some of the main combatants, the army of Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni and the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) of Kony; the arms suppliers; Western oil and mining companies; Western politicians and the African ones in their pockets; and, the NGOs.
As always, the victims are Uganda's and Central Africa's civilians.
So what is the Solution?
According to Resolve and Enough! it's to increase the military attacks that will result in Kony's demise; and then the celestial choirs will sing and peace will prevail. Resolve and Enough! have even recruited two American senators to lead their reckless and irresponsible cause.
Resolve and Enough! are trying to sell warfare by lobbying for the passage of a Bill sponsored by Senators Russ Feingold and Sam Brownback, that asks for the United States' military to join Uganda's army --which is being investigated for war crimes committed in the Democratic Republic of Congo when Uganda occupied eastern Congo from 1997 to 2003-- when and if it next launches an attack against the Lord's Resistance Army.
Well, rather than be persuaded by the glitzy presentations and the line up of beautiful celebrities –President Barack Obama, who is one of the most intellectually sober leaders in the world, should not fall for it – let's examine the facts.
When Uganda last launched such an attack, with U.S. support under George W. Bush, in December 2008, it failed to capture the LRA leader Joseph Kony or neutralize his forces. Instead, it provoked reported LRA retaliatory attacks against civilians in Congo's Garamba province.
The Museveni and George Bush attack also scuttled peace negotiations that had been going on between Museveni's and Kony's forces for more than two years during which there had been no fighting. The open question is whether it is Kony or Museveni that genuinely fears comprehensive peace.
After all, Kony would merely have to demobilize an army estimated at less than 1,000; what would Museveni do with his huge army and arsenal of weapons?
So, do Senators Feingold and Brownback have the complete picture? Or just the picture they want or were supplied?
Never mind that the Bill they're sponsoring, if approved as it now reads, would align the United States with an army some of whose officers, including the commander in chief Museveni, could be indicted by the ICC on the war crimes charges. The Wall Street Journal exclusively reported that such an investigation had been initiated in a front page story on June 8, 2006. Museveni had reportedly urged then U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan to block the probe, without success.
Never mind that the Leahy Amendment precludes U.S. military assistance to Uganda's army –and that President Bush and Bill Clinton before him might have been in violation— not only because of the alleged war crimes being investigated by the ICC, but also because Uganda's army engages in torture, as comprehensively exposed in an April 2009 report by Human Rights Watch.
The chilling 89-page report that describes some of the most fiendish torture, "Open Secret: Illegal Detention and Torture by the Joint Anti-terrorism Task Force in Uganda," is available on
Did Resolve and Enough! not make Senators Feingold and Brownback aware of this report?
The official host of Lobby Days is Resolve, which was once operated by young and idealistic Americans who seemed to want to help highlight the atrocities in Uganda, but who have now lost their way by aligning so closely with the Museveni regime.
Yet, the main organization that has been drumming for war is Enough! On its website, this organization which claims it aims to fight genocide and crimes against humanity, advocates for the exact opposite with respect to Uganda.
The December attacks did not succeed because the Ugandan military, the same one being investigated on war crimes allegations by the ICC, was not competent , Enough! maintains. This time, with U.S. involvement, civilian casualties would be limited so it's worth another try, Enough! argues.
Please see http://www.enoughproject.org/
From where Enough! garners this confidence is not clear.
The country sides in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan are littered with the graveyards of civilians that are "collateral" damage in the U.S.'s "war on terror." In fact, so high are civilian deaths in Afghanistan now that General Stanley A. McChrystal, the U.S. commander there has said it could undermine the U.S. effort there.
Uganda and Central Africa does not need any of this type of "precision" attacks. The "smart bombs" aren't that smart. Anyone advocating expansion of military theater anywhere in Africa has evil intentions.
What makes Enough!'s propaganda most galling is that its leaders speak from both sides of the mouth. They're even bold enough to leave the evidence on their website, thinking everyone can be fooled all the time.
Enough! is a unit of an outfit called "Center For American Progress" which sponsors Enough! and is headed by John Podesta, who was Bill Clinton's chief of staff. Recall that it was during the Clinton Administration that Uganda was allowed to invade what was then Zaire (now DR Congo) and occupy the mineral rich region and loot resources from there, hand in hand with Western companies some of which were later identified in a United Nations report. It was during this occupation that seven million Congolese perished in a genocide Western newspapers downplay since their governments --especially the U.S. and U.K.-- were clearly complicit by backing Uganda.
Of course Enough! and the Center For American Progress know about the Leahy Amendment. Why it's mentioned right there on the Center For American Progress's website on www.americanprogress.org
An article dated March 24, 2008, under the headline "Seek Enforcement of the Leahy Amendment," reads: " The federal government should cut off unconditional U.S. support for Iraq's national security forces. Congress should stop training Iraqi national forces and seek enforcement of the Leahy Amendment. The Leahy Amendment, first introduced by Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) as an amendment to the 1997 Foreign Operations Appropriations Act, prohibits U.S. security assistance to foreign military or security units 'against whom exist credible allegations of gross violations of human rights.' Since 1997, Congress has continued these restrictions on such assistance in amendments to the Foreign Operations and Defense Appropriations Acts, which permits the Secretary of Defense to waive the restriction on assistance if 'extraordinary circumstances' require assistance to continue to units credibly believed to have engaged in gross violations of human rights. Since 2003, the Bush administration has refused to apply the provisions of the Leahy Amendment to U.S. security assistance to Iraqi units."
So it's all well to invoke the Leahy Amendment when it came to Iraq but the U.S. should continue financing a Ugandan army that engages in torture and which is being investigated on war crimes allegations by the ICC?
Senators Feingold and Brownback have some things to reflect upon. Perhaps they should amend the Bill they're sponsoring and excise any mention of supporting or working with Uganda's military. They should replace it with a call for Museveni and Kony to come to the table, under the eye of the International community; unlike the previous talks, laudable as they were, which were conducted in the forests.
The so-called "big" newspapers are still sleeping as usual.
Sooner or later, they will catch on to this story. Hopefully before those dumb smart bombs drop on Uganda.

No Weak Links on NRA Safes!
1. BALANCED LAYERS-Liberty's state-of-the art water-jet technology precisely cuts our fireboard layers to fit in all the right places:
- Most critical to good fire protection is the door. With precision cut fireboard we are able to custom fit layers in three areas of the door: In the composite door section, around the locking mechanism and on the door panel. When it comes to fire protection in the door, nobody does it like Liberty!
- Liberty's engineers also implemented a unique design that interlocks the ceiling and the walls so they won't fall down during a fire. Keeping fireboard in place during expansion and contraction is very important.
- Liberty even installs additional pieces of fireboard in the doorjambs to make sure there are no weak links. Most manufacturers don't. Check it out.
- Many manufacturers shortchange the quality of their safes by leaving out the fireboard in critical areas or worse-use 1/2" fire board or create airspaces to make it look like they have as much. Voids like these create weak links and thus under-perform in real fires.

Server-side ActionScript (SSAS) is just like Macromedia Flash ActionScript except it exists on the server. Just as Flash ActionScript is based on the ECMAScript-262 specification, SSAS also uses the standard as a foundation. SSAS closely follows the implementation of Server-Side JavaScript 1.5 (SSJS) used by the SunONE Server and the Netscape Enterprise Server. You will find it interesting to review more about SSJS presented in Netscape's Developer pages (http://developer.netscape.com). SSAS does not include the SSJS LiveWire objects used for direct database access, nor does it include the object to connect to email server and the file system. This was done to ensure SSAS's security model was tight. SSAS cannot access the file system or database server directly. SSAS can handle databases and external servers through Flash Remoting MX and compatible application servers. Flash Remoting MX will be discussed in detail in Chapter 13, "Accessing External Data."
SSAS cannot directly control Flash elements such as MovieClips, buttons, or objects with this script. However, it can invoke methods within the Flash movie that can alter the elements of the movie. SSAS acts like a facilitator between multiple Flash movies and other servers. SSAS is the communication hub. You can build objects to store data, or methods to handle communication events.
There are two important things you should remember before you start working with SSAS:
Any change made to SSAS in ASC files requires a reload of the application.
SSAS is CaSe seNSitiVe, unlike its Flash MX counterpart. For example, the following two variable definitions would create two different variables:
var myVariable = 123; var MYVARIABLE = 456;
This chapter will step you through the objects available to you with SSAS including SharedObject, Stream, Application, Client, and NetConnection. You will review some SSAS that you can use for a simple authentication system using an ActionScript array. The chapter will also handle techniques you can use to help debug SSAS. Each object's methods, properties, events, and information objects are presented in the Quick Reference appendices in the back of this book.
The main.asc File
The main.asc file is the heart of your application. You have used it already in previous chapters as a place for server-side ActionScript. Macromedia Flash Communication Server always looks for the main.asc file when it is loaded the first time. If the main.asc file is not available, Flash Communication Server looks for a file with the name of the application. For example, Communication Server would look for a file called myApp.asc within an application called myApp. main.asc is always loaded first, if it exists. All SSAS must stem from either of these files. The server looks first for main.asc, and then it looks for myApp.asc. If both files exist, main.asc takes priority, and myApp.asc is ignored. This does not mean that all SSAS must exist solely in the file. You can "include" external scripts inline. You saw this in earlier exercises when the components.asc file was loaded. This particular load reference includes the server-side counterparts for the Flash UI components that are nothing more than SSAS object classes.
The process of including scripts is handled by the load method. This method loads any ASC files relatively located to the main.asc or application-named file. Loaded scripts are inserted inline just like server-side includes, or a <CFINCLUDE> for those Macromedia ColdFusion buffs out there. They are compiled after being loaded with scripts inside the main.asc file. Their libraries are made available to the Application instances.
SSAS is compiled into the application each time it is instantiated. When a change is made to server-side files (ASC files), those changes do not take effect in an Application instance until it is reloaded. This can get tricky if you have multiple instances running. It is possible to have multiple versions of the application running, if you do not reload each instance. There are three ways to reload your application: through the Communication App Inspector, the Administration Console, or by using the ActionScript API.

Exhibit Panels 14 - 17
Panel 12: The lost families
Panel 14: Return to Zion
After the war many emigrate to Palestine; many fight in Israel's War of Independence, many fall. The founding of Kibbutz Lavi in 1949. "What will you do in our land, where the sun burns so hot? We'll create with our hands, we will build with our blood." - Zionist song from Vienna.
Panel 15: Many journeys
From the Arctic to the Himalayas - the Kinder scatter over the world. "I shall send such as escape of them to the nations of the sea; the isles far off." - Isaiah
Panel 16: The story continues
North American reunion in Washington, D.C., June 1998. "Hine ma tov… Behold, how good and pleasant for brethren to dwell together in unity." - Psalm of David, 133.
Panel 17. About the exhibit
In this, the last panel, the photo-portraits of the author's first three Vienna childhood friends symbolize the multitude of Jewish children not saved. "In life my friends did not come with us ... but now in telling the story of our Kindertransport journey I have taken them aboard so that their images and names, at least, may survive."
The exhibit was produced entirely by those rescued by the Kindertransport - it is not only about, but a product of the Kindertransport Journey. Some saved ship-tickets and other artifacts of the journey in 1939; others contributed stories to Bertha Leverton's anthology, We Came Alone, a major resource for the exhibit. Robert Sugar, the author, as a boy, made photos of the Millisle Refugee Farm in Northern Ireland, where he was sent. "My own photos represent just the smallest part of the images shown, but they remain the kernel of the idea for the exhibit which, it now seems clear, I began to design in 1944." The formation of the Kindertransport Association in North America made it possible to realize this idea.
The exhibit has traveled widely in the United States since 2001 and has become a staple of Holocaust education in Northern Ireland, frequently shown at the country's annual Holocaust Memorial Day commemorations.

Looking Through Edgar Cayce's Other Door
By Tina Erwin
Edgar Cayce has been described as America's "Sleeping Prophet." He acquired this astounding reputation because he had the ability to fall asleep to give a "reading" to a person who requested help. He discovered at an early age that he could completely absorb the contents of a book if he placed the book under his pillow as he went to sleep. Cayce was also known to provide information about his own health situation when he arose in the morning. Quite literally, he gave new meaning to the phrase "I'll sleep on it."
Edgar Cayce was a very humble and profoundly spiritual man, spending his lifetime studying the Bible. He was also a person who was, frankly, not well educated. His formal education never extended beyond junior high school. He also did not spend his days studying medicine, or modern (much less ancient) history. Yet, Cayce was able to provide over 14,000 "readings" that can only be described as astounding. His topics ranged from what happened in Atlantis to a detailed diagnosis of a sick person, anywhere in the world, through the process of remote viewing, to providing information on future world events.
Many have asked the question: where did this information come from if Cayce himself did not have the educational background to provide it? This gives us a chance to look through Edgar Cayce's "other door," and that door opens to the other dimensions of the spiritual world.
Was someone else speaking through Edgar Cayce when he seemed to be asleep? Actually if we look at the Cayce phenomenon with an open mind, it would appear that another intelligence, not currently of this Earth, but extremely well acquainted with this planet, was using Edgar Cayce as a conduit for information. We are reasonably confident it was not Cayce personally speaking. First of all, from a linguistic point of view, the syntax and speech patterns are not modern, and are often awkward to understand. This was not the speech pattern of Edgar Cayce. Second, Cayce had no memory when he awoke of what he had said. Finally, the source of the readings answered this question for Cayce and others who asked. In reading 440-12, a man asked who had helped obtain the information which he received, and the answer was, "These have been rather of the universal…Not from the lower sources." In reading 254-97, it is clearly explained that "there is the differentiation between communications from individuals or entities and the universal consciousness."
We have to come to the conclusion that Edgar Cayce was a man so pure of heart that he could be "used" as a conduit for this information by "the universal consciousness." While Cayce was giving readings, it is safe to say that he was never asleep. He was in what is known as deep trance. When a person is in trance, he or she allows another spiritual intelligence to enter and use their body for the purpose of acquiring and sharing information. This is why the host person has no memory of what is said, because the host was not consciously speaking. The host gets him- or herself out of the way and lets someone else quite literally take over their body. In reading 254-67 "the entity Edgar Cayce" was described as being able to "wholly subjugate the physical consciousness as to allow the use of physical organs that may be attuned to all realms that pertain to psychic or mental or spiritual influences in the realms about the entity." Thus, in a reading for himself, Cayce was told, "Be satisfied with nothing short of a universal consciousness, guided or guarded by the Lord of the Way, or the Way itself….Why be satisfied with a lesser portion than a whole measure?" (294-140)
So when we wonder, was the speaker an Angel or a Divine Being? Was he or she a person who no longer took on a mortal body? Perhaps we can take a peek through Mr. Cayce's spiritual door. Through his experience, we are offered proof that there are Divine Intelligences on the other side of the mortal veil. They are real. Their existence is eternal and they are available to each and every one of us as well. Reading 254-30 affirms this: "All force is as one force. Hence the universal forces. All knowledge is one knowledge. Hence may be attained from the universal force or knowledge."
Perhaps in our own humble way, we too, can connect to the Divine through our own daily spiritual practice of heartfelt prayer sent out to heal the world. The more we pray, the more we, too, connect to the Divine. The more we connect to the Divine, the more real, the more tangible those Divine realms become to us, as well as the beings who actually inhabit those realms. Perhaps there were many reasons for the events of Edgar Cayce's life to play out the way they did. Possibly one of those reasons was to elegantly and compassionately offer us a peek through that spiritual door and glimpse the everlasting hope of life, love, and personal spiritual service.
Edgar Cayce used his powerful psychic ability from a place of the utmost integrity. He is one of the finest examples any of us can study in just exactly how to use any spiritual ability and hold ourselves up to the highest karmic/spiritual standards. He did not promise what he could not deliver. Cayce was honest in what he could and could not do for someone, and he realized that he could not heal everyone. No one could do that, not even the Christ, because not even Christ could randomly remove the karma of another person.
Edgar Cayce was truly the finest steward of the psychic and spiritual ability that he had. He was a humble man with a deep and powerful love of Christ, the Divine, and the spirit world. Cayce also loved all people of all religions so much that he would often sacrifice himself to help a person in great need. In the crazy world we live in, perhaps now and then it is a good practice to study those more spiritually advanced souls who walked among us, and follow their example of outstanding spiritual stewardship.
TINA D. ERWIN, CDR, USN, Ret. has studied metaphysics all her life to enable her to understand her own psychic abilities. These intense studies were further enhanced by the experiences of a dynamic 20-year career in the Navy, working for the U.S. Submarine Force, retiring at the Commander level. Erwin is the author of the A.R.E. Press book, The Lightworker's Guide to Healing Grief.

Rachel Allen's Brown Soda Bread
For many years, I assumed that Irish soda bread always meant a slightly sweet, caraway and currant laced bread easily mistaken for a giant muffin. Frankly, I never liked this version of the quick bread, much preferring to eat "real bread" with my soup. It's a good thing I was mistaken about the scope of soda breads.
Most of these loaves, like those featured in Rachel's Irish Family Food, are a much simpler (and more appealing) combination of flour, baking soda, and buttermilk. Rachel Allen's brown soda bread adds a bit more oomph with a hefty dose of whole wheat flour, a couple tablespoons of mixed seeds, and just a touch of butter. The resulting bread is an exemplary accompaniment to any number of soups, pickles, marmalades, or a generous swipe of butter.
Why I picked this recipe: You can't have an Irish feast without at least one loaf of soda bread.
What worked: Full-flavored from whole wheat flour and studded with oil-rich seeds, this quick bread was a winner.
What didn't: No problems with this easy recipe.
Suggested tweaks: You could mix in any number of nuts, seeds, or dried fruit to this dough. Keep it around 3 tablespoons for the best texture.
Reprinted from Rachel's Irish Family Food: 120 classic recipes from my home to yours by Rachel Allen. Copyright 2013. Published by HarperCollins Publishers. All rights reserved. Available wherever books are sold.
- Yield:makes 1 loaf
- Active time: 10 minutes
- Total time:55 minutes
- Rated:
- 1 3/4 cups (225g) whole wheat (wholemeal) flour
- 1 3/4 cups (225g) all-purpose (plain) flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda (bicarbonate of soda)
- 3 tablespoons (50g) mixed seeds, such as sesame, pumpkin, or sunflower, or golden flax seeds (linseeds) (optional)
- 2 tablespoons (25g) butter, softened (optional)
- 1 egg
- About 1 2/3 cups (375–400ml) buttermilk or soured milk
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Sift together the flours, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl and mix in the seeds (if using). Add the butter (if using), and rub into the flour mixture with your fingertips until it resembles bread crumbs. Make a well in the center.
In another bowl, whisk the egg with the buttermilk and pour most of the liquid into the flour mixture. Using one hand with your fingers outstretched like a claw, bring the flour and liquid together, adding more of the buttermilk mixture, if necessary. The dough should be quite soft, but not too sticky.
Turn onto a floured work surface and gently bring the dough together into a round about 1 1/2 inches (4cm) thick. Cut a deep cross on top and place on a baking sheet.
Bake for 15 minutes. Turn down the heat to 400°F (200°C) and bake for 30 minutes more. When done, the loaf will sound slightly hollow when tapped on the bottom. Remove from the baking sheet and place on a wire rack to cool.

How can you sort out what appears to be the same husband with two different wives but some of the same children listed in both marriages. There is not always a designation of more than one spouse.
Looking for Irish immigrants who settled in Oregon in 1851.
My great grandfather, James Casey, was born in County Louth, Ireland in 1827. He immigrated to this country through the port of New Orleans in 1849 and came west to Oregon City, Or. on the Aaron Ross wagon train in 1851. He worked as a blacksmith and married Ellen Fagan (Feigen?)who was born in County Longford, Ireland Dec. 25, 1929 and immigrated to Oregon in 1852, on May 19,1853. They managed the Cliff House in Oregon City and moved to their Donation Land Grant of 320 acres in Woodburn, Oregon Dec. 25, 1854.
The had 13 children but I only have the names of 9 who survived to adulthood. They are: Catherine who married Nicholas Miller, Bartholomew, Josephine who married Lee Campbell, John J., Anna whose married name was Provost, Sara (Sadie) who married John B. Coe, Mary Jane who became a nun named Sister Placida, Thomas J., Margaret (Maggie) who married Charles Allen.
I have found correspondence that suggests he became politically influential and was a prosperous farmer. They were married over 53 years and it was said in his obituary that "the Casey home has been known for years to one of the most hospitable homes in this section...)

Welcome to the Game Day Fire Drill, for this, Calgary's 25th game of the season on Nov. 28, 2009.
I remember when I first heard the Flames traded Wayne Primeau. Good times then!
"Who," I asked no one in particular, "would be stupid enough to take on that contract?"
Turns out the answer was the Maple Leafs. Okay cool with me. Get that hump off the books for something like a fifth-round draft pick, right? I'll take it. But then I saw what the actual return was: once Darryl Sutter added in a second-round pick in 2011, he got back a seventh-round pick the next year, Colin Stuart (who cares?) and Anton Stralman.
Wait, Anton freakin' Stralman? I called my friend who supports the Maple Leafs (I know, I know) and he was not happy. While Stralman wasn't, like, great or anything last year, he was generally considered to have a ton of upside, particularly offensively. That sounded good to me. Either he got huge minutes in Abbotsford and was the first call-up or he was a decent third-pairing guy of whom not much would be asked that could chip in on the second power play unit. Either way, solid pickup both now and for the future, especially considering how little he currently made.
He played well enough in training camp, just about what I expected. But he apparently didn't impress Sutter, who chose Staffan Kronwall over him (hilariously enough) and shipped him to Columbus for a third-round pick, presumably because he didn't want to lose Stralman on waivers. I was disappointed but figured it wouldn't matter THAT much since, y'know, what kind of impact would he have had for the Flames when it really boils down to their essentials?
Oh, he has 15 points, which would put him fifth on the Flames and ahead of every defenseman on the roster, especially Kronwall who has three points in six games and is currently in the AHL?
Great. That's great.
The Calgary Flames (15-6-3 for 33 points. Third in the West, first in the Northwest) and the Columbus Blue Jackets (12-9-3 for 27 points. Ninth in the West, third in the Central).
5 p.m. Mountain time and 7 p.m. Eastern time. All other time zones should watch out for Optimus Prime in South Africa.
Nationwide Arena, Columbus, Ohio.
Calgary is 8-1-3 on the road this year, and have gotten points in the last eight games away from home. The Blue Jackets are 6-2-2 at home, and that includes a win over Calgary earlier this year.
What (to hate about the Jackets)
Ken Hitchcock — You can say a lot of things about him, but you can't say he's a bad coach. Despite terrible goaltending (they have a minus-13 goal differential, but I'll address that in a second), he's got his team playing just about league average. Why? Look at that power play. It's at 25.5 percent and is the best in the league. Wow.
Rick Nash — He's not even the reason why they're best in the league with a man advantage. Only three of his 14 goals have come on the power play. He's behind Raffi Torres, Kristian Huselius and Stralman, who have five, four and four, respectively. Jeepers.
Steve Mason — You'll notice that a lot of these things are about how a player is negatively impacting me as far as fantasy hockey is concerned. Well I'll just put this out there: If you were like me and dropped a high fourth-round pick on Mason this season, you aren't feeling too good about that 8-6-3, 3.50/.899.
Because you didn't get enough last night. Enjoy the game and talk about your love for back-to-backs in the comments section.

Drainpipe failures at Lucas Oil Stadium have flooded the data center at the new $750 million facility, which is scheduled to host the preseason home opener for the Indianapolis Colts on Aug. 24. The problems occurred Tuesday night when a series of strong thunderstorms swept through Indianapolis. Three drainpipes designed to handle runoff didn't work properly, flooding the data center at the stadium with several feet of water.
John Klipsch, executive director of the Indiana Stadium and Convention Building Authority, described the damage:
"The data center is the main control room for our phones, our Wi-Fi, our Internet access and some other high-tech stuff," Klipsch said. "We called an emergency meeting with all our contractors this morning, and everybody at this juncture is reporting that they think they can get that nerve center back on line within a matter of weeks."
Local officials say a grand opening for the new stadium Aug. 16 will go on as scheduled.
