However, the reviewers had several concerns that limit our ability to publish your manuscript.First, ED care and hospitalization are non-mutually exclusive steps in a pathway in the United States—the decisions about whether to visit the ED are up to patients while the decisions about whether to get hospitalized are up to emergency physicians and physicians in the community.In addition, PQIs were developed exclusively for use in the inpatient setting, and are not necessarily valid for ED visits."Slide 18 ConsiderationsReviewer 1, Annals of Emergency Medicine:Misclassification Bias:"One means of assessing the degree of misclassification would be to calculate the proportion of the inpatient (IP) diagnoses that match the ED "reason for visit" for the IP hospitalizations that were admitted through the ED."Slide 19 ConsiderationsReviewer 1, Annals of Emergency Medicine:"Should preventable hospital care be viewed the same as "preventable" ED care? Perhaps these entities are different and should be analyzed as distinct entities."Slide 20 ConsiderationsReviewer 2, Annals of Emergency Medicine:"ED care is ambulatory care and not inpatient care. This paper assumes that ED patients that have diagnoses that when admitted fall within PQI measures are the same as admitted patients with these diagnoses. But EDs treat and release patients who were likely less sick, did have their hospitalization prevented by definition, and the importance of including such treat and release patients in the PQI measure is unclear."Slide 21 ConsiderationsReviewer 2, Annals of Emergency Medicine:"The PQI was developed for inpatient hospitalization measurement, whereas alternative methods such as the Billings algorithm have been developed to assess preventable ED care."Slide 22 ConsiderationsReviewer 2, Annals of Emergency Medicine:"The authors even note that many ED codes are symptom-based codes, so the application of PQI to ED codes raises many concerns:a. PQI is designed for inpatient discharge codes not ambulatory codes.b. PQI has never been validated for application to ED patients; there is no reason to believe that ED patients with treat and release conditions and/or these codes for CHF, asthma or diabetes are similar. This needs to be studied."Slide 23 Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP)The largest collection of multi-level, all-payer, encounter-level, health care data.Image: The HCUP logo is shown superimposed over photographs of medical professionals doing a variety of jobs.

Urban Decor for Children's Rooms
Due to the fact that we are living in a modernism era, nothing is anymore as it used to be. People, houses and buildings, habits, customs and so on; they are not anymore as they used to be. Not even children aren't like children used to be 30-50 years ago.
And, as they are also facing this modernism phenomenon, it is perfectly normal for them to desire modernism in every aspect of their home, even for their bedrooms.
Though, how can a loving parent decorate his child bedroom in an urban style, without ruining the basic principles of the children's bedrooms? It's simple: urban décor can easily suit any bedroom of any children, as long as the decorator –in this case, the parents/tutors – has just a little of common sense.
First of all, the walls should have a chilling color, such as light blue, light pink and so on. Do not use a metallic color even it is a shade of a chilling color. It won't suit the room, and the child won't feel comfortable at all in that room. Also, for a more sophisticated chilling effect, try to add the white color into the room. You can do this by painting different models of animals or flowers on the wall, using only the white color. It will look just awesome and will respect the latest trends in the urban art bedroom decorating.
Abstract paintings can also be placed on the walls, but with one specification: the paintings must respect the dominant color of the room. This doesn't mean that they can't be in contrast with the main color, but as long as the landscape of the room is ok, even bold colors can be inserted into the paintings.
The real problem comes when the decorators must find a place for the toys. This is because most of the toys don't actually suit modernism, and therefore, compiling the aspects of a modern room with some bold colored toys. There are 2 solutions for this problem: either the parents are buying only expensive toys –which are usually created in a modern way – or, they can choose to make a play room separated than the bedroom. One type of toys can make an exception from the above rule: plush toys. They are usually small, with normal colors and not bold ones, can suit every bedroom.
As for the rest of the room, bed and lightning, it doesn't quite matter what model they are as long as they are offering the comfort that the child is in need of.
The above presented ideas are modernistic principles of how to decorate some of the children's bedroom. The parents are free to choose models and shapes, depending directly of what the size of the room is and how old are their children.

I'm not surprised that a union member would shout 'Heil, Hitler.' After all, Hitler was a socialist, too -- just differing methods of enforcing it ............. socialism, communism, Naziism, environmentalism are just different isms that want to limit your liberties. All slightly different peas, but occupying the same pod.

Has anyone opened a ticket with Lucent about this? My initial feeling is
some traffic pattern, possibly a side affect of the recent instability,

Lucent is aware of the problem and is working on a fix. One of our
networks is O1 and they use massive amounts of TNTs. Excerpt from their
announcement yesterday:
"...an intermittent problem that has been discovered to be affecting a
specific type of network card used by some of the NAS devices that
populate our network. The problem is exacerbated by the blaster worm and
has been replicated by Lucent, our vendor and others. In order to resolve
the issue, we are working with Lucent to test and deploy an emergency

I've some code that might do what you're looking for. It uses an Arduino to control the servos, while a Processing sketch on a laptop uses a webcam to track moving targets. It doesn't have any sort of internet control, but since it can run fully autonomous, you might not need to control it manually at all.
Here's a link to the project page (click "Download Code" on the left for the Arduino & Processing code): http://projectsentrygun.rudolphlabs.com/

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I use to go to this school not to long ago and it is pretty nice. It is fun and enjoyable. Some people do get bullied and some have a lot of friends. The assembles are fun. It depends on what teacher you have most are nice some or a little bit strict. The counselor is a great person! The only thing wrong is the school nurse who is mean and rude.
Reading the older comments, I was a bit discouraged. I was not to long ago a student at this school, and I now people who have went to this school while the bad reviews on here were written, saying how the academics are bad or whatever. Not to be disrespectful but only the student knows what the school is all about. Just wanted to say at least that. In all honesty though, I only disliked one of my teachers. I felt that they all did their job as they were supposed to and I can still remember what I learned, though I was an advanced student so I didn't have a few classes with my original class. Most students from this school are now doing well above the..ehh, "general" classes as they call it in my middle school.
Excellent school! We are very pleased with the teachers and the academics!
Love the fact that my kids get A's and B's and love their teachers but the Bully 'Law' needs to be stricter. There are quiet times after the bully is repremanded but after a few weeks it starts up again. Then the school will want to 'talk' about it. Stop the talking and take some action.
I have been in the Eastern Community for 5 years and have seen a lot of changes at the school. Our administration went from ok to great to not so great. While our Asst Principal is wonderful, our principal could use some work. The teachers are wonderful and really care about the students. We have the best FCPC - she sets up wonderful family nights at the school and other places in the community for parents and students to attend. Our parent involvement could use some help. While we do have several parents that volunteer on a regular basis we could use more support and input from parents at different functions that are held and at the PTA meetings. Parents like to complain to each other about what they aren't getting from the school but they never show up to voice their concerns when it counts.
Eastern elem. Helped my son get his self esteem back. He started there in the 4th grade and his grades went back to a's & b's. He had a bad experience at the school he went to for the past grades. Eastern has great teachers and parent and student activites. I look forward to my 2 other children attending eastern.
Eastern has come a long way in the eight years that I have had children at the school. There is a much stronger student base. Things are looking up.
I think before this year this used to be a great school where my child was confortable and learning a great deal, he's affraid of his teacher and I get notes sent home full of sarcasim and judgement towards me as a parent, in result my sons grades have gone from A & B's to U in writing and other subjects this has been a very difficult year and they never should have replace the teachers that we had at least they didn't reflect anger and degrade the students. maybe the schools # overall weren't where they used to be but supposed to be better now the schools# average or the learning and education of students.
We've been very pleased with what our kids have learned while at Eastern. They're both straight A students. Our kindergartner is coming home spouting off information that she has learned that seems to be ahead of what I see other kids her age learning. There is an afterschool reading program that she has been able to participate in & it has proven to be helpful. Our 2nd grader's teacher is extremely involved and seems to care very much. Both kids talk about values that they've been taught at school. It's not all up to the teachers...parents need to take an interest and make time too. Teachers can only take them so far!
We literally moved away because our experience with Eastern was so bad! The discipline at that school is inadequate to non existent...kids are rude, teachers are rude, and no one seems to care. My kids were above average students when we arrived at Eastern, and once they were placed in their classrooms, we discovered that they were performing at least 2 grade levels above their Eastern classmates (in reading). Rather than admit the inadequacy of their program, the school staff said my kids were an 'abberation'. I suppose they thought I would be flattered. They insisted that my kids were way above average when at our prior school they were certainly bright, but were with a core group of kids just like them. My kids are back at their previous school, and are performing well...and here they aren't an abberation, but are just normal, bright kids.
I think that some children are slow learners and the teachers should give that student extra help instead of leaving them get to far behind. There are children in eastern that are at least 2 years behind in reading and may never be able to catch up but still they pass them on to the next grade. What they need is the teachers to do a better job at teaching. Eastern is a chapter one school and they do get extra money from us tax payers so why can't they give the students the extra help they need for a better education. What about No Child Left Behind.
I feel that Eastern Elementary would do better minus a lot of disipline problems and then add a lot more parent involvment. Our children need us to show them by being there that we as parents care about their education.

Can anybody recommend a budget black background that will last more than one amateur home studio shoot with my kids? I'm seeing vinyl backed photography backdrops for about £50ish - is that about the right price or can they be had for less? Having spent a fair bit recently I need to tread lightly around my wife!Last Modified By ecowarrior at 10 Mar 2010 - 10:29 PM
A few yards of Velvet, less than a tenner, market, fabric land etc.Helpful Post!
Thanks Paul, I'll have a mooch round our market at the weekend.
Have had a couple (including plain black) from these guys.
Very reasonable and well made.
The Sunday markets generally have a good choice of black fabric for a pound a metre.
I avoid synthetic fibres, and the current background is all-wool coat fabric with a beautiful flat black texture. It weighs a ton so I needed the heavy-duty support poles from Sudio Decor.
If you use velvet you'l get a shine from it - the idea of a cotton/polyester sheet zipped up the top with a sewing machine or even held with pegs will wash v. well. Cost pence really. I've even had a dog pee on mine!
At the camera club last night they had two basic set ups using a couple of different types of black material so I've got a rough idea what I'm looking for now. What I DON'T have is any studio lights like they had, so I'm kind of going to have to figure out how to get the best out of my on-camera flash and my SB-600 off-camera. I do have a 5-in-1 reflector/diffuser thingy now. Just got to experiment a bit I think.
EVENTUALLY when the wife has forgotten the recent purchases, maybe I'll add a couple of proper studio-lights of some sort.
The results we were getting last night were exactly the kind of affect I'm trying to get when photographing the kids (for example).
I reckon eventually I'm gonna have more equipment than Lord Snowdon!

Amici's! »
Amici's pizza has seriously stepped up the New York-style pizza game in San Francisco. As of this past weekend, they started serving vegan cheese. It's melty, gooey, tasty Cheezly vegan cheese* and it is marvelous. A little vegan birdie told me that this would be happening months ago and I dared to dream but didn't think too much about it because if it didn't happen, I would've been all stabby. But then the day came and vegan cheese is on the menu and, my friends, it is a damn good day.
Amici's is a local chain with two restaurants in San Francisco and the others spread out all over, from San Rafael to VACAVILLE. HOLD THE PHONE. YOU CAN GET VEGAN CHEESE PIZZA DELIVERED TO YOUR HOUSE IN VACAVILLE?! Yes, yes you can. And oh yeah, they have a pretty large delivery area so check their website to see if you can get it delivered right to your mouth. And the variety of toppings is outrageous. We got our pizza with fried eggplant, slow-roasted garlic, carmelized onions, roasted red peppers and artichoke hearts. It was about $30 for a large but you know what? It will make two meals for two people. Not bad. Also, I have salad makings from Farm Fresh to You so I GUESS I can/should/won't eat the delicious yet fatty pizza with a disgusting yet nutritious salad. I GUESS. Ugh, why does FFtY not deliver vegan pizza and chocolate bonbon's?! I'm turning into some unnatural combination of Peg and Al Bundy over here. Help.
So stop reading this and get on their site and ORDER ONLINE (no talking to another human! Can I get a what-what for the technology!?) and have vegan pizza at your doorstep in 45 minutes. Oh and let them know you're thankful for the vegan cheese and maybe one day soon, they'll start offering their four-cheese lasagna vegan-style. Hyperventilating at the thought. They could use Cheezly, Dr. Cow, Sheese and Teeze and make THE MOTHER OF ALL VEGAN LASAGNAS!!! Ugh, now I'm Garfield.
*Cheezly is a hard to find British vegan cheese that they're now selling at Rainbow! I like the extra melty mozzarella and the bacon flavored best. The bacon-flavored cheese is especially good for mixing into creamy sauces, gives them a carbonara flavor! Ow!

A farm is preparing to celebrate fall this weekend with food, fun - and of course - pumpkins.
Chiles Peach Orchard is opening up its pumpkin patch just in time for its second annual Fall Into Fun Festival. In addition to picking your own pumpkin, this weekend's festival goers can also pick apples, make old-fashioned apple butter, take wagon rides, play farm games and enjoy delicious food from the farm.
"What a great time of year to celebrate, you know, fall is our favorite time of the year around here with apples and pumpkins and it just seems like a good way to celebrate, bringing families out," said Cynthia Chiles, whose family owns Chiles Peach Orchard in Crozet.
If you choose to pick a pumpkin this weekend, it will likely last through Halloween. Chiles said a pumpkin can last for several weeks, as long as it's not carved right away. The best pumpkins are those without any soft spots.
Last year was tough for pumpkin growers. Many patches in the area were importing them from elsewhere. "I think the derecho just wiped a lot of the crop out," Chiles said.
This year's pumpkins sustained heavy rain right after they were planted, which isn't good for the crop. But while this is still not the best year for pumpkins Chiles, said it's much better than last year.
"We had a decent year on pumpkins," she said. "The last couple years have not been prime pumpkin growing but we'll make it happen."
Right now, the orchard has pumpkins of all shapes, sizes, and colors. Chiles said they'll likely be harvesting them until December.
The Fall Into Fun Festival takes place at Chiles Peach Orchard from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. Admission is free, but there's a fee for some activities.

The scooper of cars procured a shot of what looks to be the Nissan Sentra SE-R ahead of it's unveiling at this week's Los Angeles Auto Show. Bathed in "look-at-me" yellow and donning NISMO-grade 17-inch rollers, the SE-R looks the biz for its segment.
Power is expected to come from a 2.5-liter inline four, which should be producing something in the neighborhood of 190+ HP. No word yet on suspension, braking or transmission options, but we'd suspect that everything will get a through tweaking to justify its SE-R designation.
More info will be forthcoming on Wednesday. Stay tuned.

(Lecture delivered at a symposium on Jews and other Breslauers, Krzyzowa, Poland, November 1998.)
In the summer of 1943 Breslau was officially declared to be Judenrein. In a series of actions beginning in the late summer of 1941, the remaining 7,000 of the Breslau Jewish community had been deported to the ghettos of Riga, Minsk or Kaunas or to Auschwitz. Despite being officially Judenrein however, Breslau continued to maintain a Jewish community of sorts. Not only did the city continue to house the 750 or so of those designated as Mischlinge or "privileged Jews" who were tolerated by the regime, but, as the Statistical Office of the Reichsführer-SS noted in April 1942, Breslau was also "home" to a much larger Jewish community. "Allein im Bereich der Stadt Breslau", it was noted, "sind 50,570 staatenlose und ausländische Juden im Lagereinsatz."
Already by 1943 Breslau had quite a tradition of concentration and forced labour camps. The first, in Dürrgoy (Tarnogaj) to the south of the city, had been established on 12 March 1933, a week before Dachau. As one of the rash of "wild" concentration camps established in the wake of the Nazi seizure of power, Dürrgoy housed some of the city's most prominent anti-Nazis; amongst them former Reichstagspräsident Paul Löbe, former Schlesische Landespräsident Heinrich Lüdemann and former Bürgermeister Karl Mache. As the designation "wild" would suggest, Dürrgoy was run independently by the Breslau Polizei Präsidium and the SA and conditions were predictably primitive. In August 1933 the camp was closed, and its inmates were transferred to the KZ at Sonnenburg near Küstrin.
With the closure of Dürrgoy, Breslau was subsequently without a concentration camp for quite some time. Indeed, this lack of facilities is illustrated by the fact that the 3,000 or so Jews arrested in the city in the wake of Reichskristallnacht in 1938 were sent to Buchenwald in Thüringen. Soon after the outbreak of war however, the network of labour and concentration camps in the region began to be built up. By the end of the war Breslau had 14 camps whose existence can be documented as well as countless smaller, usually forced labour camps, attached to Breslau firms. The majority of these 14 camps bore the designation ZAL or Zwangsarbeitslager, though others bore the designation AEL Arbeitserzieungslager or KZ Konzentrationslager.
The role of Zwangsarbeitslager in the economic and punitive systems of the Third Reich is often misunderstood. It is thought that some 5,000,000 foreign labourers served in the Third Reich, the vast majority of them doing so involuntarily. Working on average 12-14 hours a day, forced labourers provided the largely unskilled manual labour for the German wartime economy. When not working such labourers were confined to hastily built, often wooden, barrack blocks, guarded by the SS and often subordinated to the nearest concentration camp. The treatment "enjoyed" by such labourers varied enormously from camp to camp, often apparently dependent upon the whim of the individual SS commander. At worst, forced labourers would live in near concentration camp conditions, with its attendant disease, malnutrition, maltreatment and arbitrary violence. At best, forced labourers would be paid for their efforts and would be allowed out for short periods. Some ZAL apparently even had brothels attached- presumably to prevent local women being subjected to attacks. On the whole however, one can make the generalisation that the treatment of forced labourers was worse the further east a man had come from, with Jews and Soviet POWs at the bottom of the scale.
Breslau's ZAL were many and varied. As elsewhere in Germany and occupied Europe, the impetus behind the establishment of such camps was initially economic rather than punitive. With the successful Polish campaign of 1939, deportations and voluntary migrations from Poland's western provinces brought a large number of Poles to Silesia, and, given the shortage of manpower in the Reich, the German authorities tended to turn a blind eye to the process. Indeed, with its trademark opportunism, the Nazi authorities established a network to deal with this influx. An organisation was set up to oversee the exploitation of such workers under the leadership of SS Brigadeführer Schmelt, who received the title "Sonderbeauftragter des Reichsführer-SS für fremdvölkische Arbeitseinsatz". Ideological and racial considerations meant that such labourers had to be kept under close supervision however, and to this end Breslau's first ZAL was established at Gross Masselwitz, (Maslice Wielki) to the west of the city, in the summer of 1940. Subsequent establishments - Neukirch, Klettendorf, (Klecina), Güntherbrücke and Hundsfeld (Psie Pole) amongst them, housed anything from a couple of hundred to a couple of thousand labourers and served such firms as Famo, Archimedes, Linke-Hoffmann, Junkers and Krupp.
Conditions within Breslau's ZAL are difficult to determine; but patchy evidence allows the drawing of some tentative conclusions. Though Polish labourers only received 50% of the wage paid to their German counterparts, it would appear that restrictions placed on them in Gross Masselwitz were initially limited to being forbidden to speak Polish, and being forbidden to go to the theatre, cinema or church. Czech workers in the Krupp plant in Markstädt meanwhile apparently had their leave allowance cut following repeated escape attempts. Naturally conditions varied from camp to camp, from month to month, from inmate to inmate, and suffered a general deterioration as the war progressed, especially after the Schmelt network was absorbed into the larger one of the SS and KZs. However, given that Polish and Czech workers evidently received payment and leave, it would seem reasonable to conclude that conditions in at least some of Breslau's Zwangsarbeitslager were not universally bad.
Where conditions were apparently much worse was in the area's Arbeitserziehungslager or AEL. The AEL were established in the summer of 1940 to deal with the perceived failing discipline amongst forced labourers in the region. Miscreants, usually saboteurs or "workshys", would be sent for an 8 week course of "work re-education" in camps whose conditions were to act as the primary deterrent. The head of the Sipo, Ernst Kaltenbrunner noted in 1944 that "Die Arbeitsbedingungen und Lebensverhältnisse für die Insassen sind im allgemeinen härter als in einem Konzentrationslager. Dies ist notwendig, um den gewünschten Zweck zu erreichen."
Breslau apparently had two AEL whose existence can be documented. The one at Rattwitz seems to have been established in the autumn of 1940, and was run by the SD as a camp for "asocials". Inmates were put to work in nearby factories or in SD projects in the city. The second Breslau AEL was apparently run by the Gestapo, and it has been noted that this entire camp, with its 4,200 inmates was transferred to Gross-Rosen in the summer of 1943.
The concentration camp of Gross-Rosen, near Striegau, (Strzegom) stood above this network of ZAL and AEL as the hub of the camp system in Lower Silesia. Begun in August 1940 as a subcommand of Sachsenhausen, Gross-Rosen was established as a KZ in its own right in May 1941. Of initially only modest size , Gross-Rosen grew according to the rapid expansion of the war economy in Silesia and its burgeoning requirement for labour. In this capacity, the camp took the healthiest inmates from Auschwitz and Buchenwald as well as local miscreants (including some 3,000 from the Gestapo in Breslau) and supplied them to the region's forced labour camps and factories. Thus Gross-Rosen had some 118 außenkommandos of its own, of which 68 were industrial concerns, 25 were involved with construction and 3 were service providers. In return Gross-Rosen sent large numbers of those no longer fit to work to Auschwitz, though it is thought that the camp itself also possessed the facilities for medical experimentation and cremation. The number of inmates of Gross-Rosen is estimated at some 76,000 in 1945, whilst the number of victims of the camp is estimated at 100,000.
Breslau's first KZ of the war years was established in the summer of 1942 at Deutsch-Lissa (Lesnica) where some 1,000 male prisoners were engaged in roadbuilding and the construction of an SS barracks. The expansion of the concentration camp network in the Breslau area, however, had to wait until the summer of 1943. Already the previous year, the growing intensity of allied bombing on the Reich had begun to worry many in the government and industry, and moves had been set in train to transfer an element of vital industrial production to those areas, such as Silesia, that were beyond the range of allied airforces. This development was symbolised by a Führerbefehl of 5 March 1942 for the establishment of a munitions plant in Breslau. The result of this order, the Krupp "Berthawerk" at Markstädt, (Laskowice) whose construction was begun in the summer of 1942, was to be the largest single KZ industrial enterprise in the Breslau area. The following summer then saw the development of the second largest - the expansion of the IG Farben/Anorgana plant at Dyhernfurth, (Brzeg Dolny) for the synthesis of the nerve agent Tabun and the production of related munitions.
Given the size of the Krupp project in Markstädt - 7 halls were to be constructed totalling 120,000m² of floor space - the labour requirement of the Berthawerk was enormous. After 4,000 workers of the Speer Baustab had laid the foundations, a ZAL was established to provide labourers for the construction, supplemented by forced labour from Gross Masselwitz and Rattwitz. Krupp records from July 1943, when production began, show that the establishment of the plant had demanded an average of 3,000 workers, peaking at almost 4,400, of whom some ¾ were forced labourers. The overwhelming majority of these were described as Jewish.
Once the plant came "on stream" however, the "make-up" of its workforce altered quite radically. Initially, those predominantly Jewish forced labourers who had constructed the plant were replaced by semi-skilled mainly west and central European workers who then made up 75% of the workforce. However, as Krupp itself acknowledged, as a relative latecomer to the region, it was forced to, figuratively speaking "live off scraps" as far as its recruitment was concerned. The general shortage of labour in the region thus prompted the establishment in the autumn of 1943 of a KZ at neighbouring Fünfteichen, (Meleswice), using inmates from Gross-Rosen and Auschwitz. Fünfteichen was to develop into the largest of the concentration camps in the Breslau region, housing at its peak some 7-8,000 inmates in 32 wooden barracks.
Thus, despite profound concerns about productivity and security, the Krupp workforce was to be augmented by the inmates of KZ Fünfteichen. And as the finite resources of semi-skilled labour dwindled still further, the Berthawerk was forced to rely increasingly upon those predominantly Jewish KZ inmates. Thus in August 1944, the last month for which Krupp Berthawerk records are extant, the number of western and central European workers still stood at some 3,000, having barely changed from the previous year, whilst the plant's growth in labour seems to have been met almost exclusively by an increase in KZ inmates, whose numbers had grown to over 3,000, 1/3 of the total.
Dyhernfurth shows a similar pattern of development. Though the Tabun plant had already been in existence for a number of years by 1942, its expansion from that date was facilitated by the establishment of a combination of ZAL and KZ. In November of 1942 a forced labour camp was set up at the site, and soon after, in July 1943 a second camp was established, this time a KZ with the designation "Dyhernfurth I". At that camp some 1,500 males, predominantly Poles and Russians from Auschwitz and Gross-Rosen were employed producing munitions filled with Tabun. The concentration camp "Dyhernfurth II" appears to have been established sometime in the second half of 1943 following an Army Supreme Command decision to double Tabun production. Though Jewish forced labourers were initially used, Dyhernfurth II soon developed to house some 3,000 KZ inmates, predominantly Polish and Hungarian Jews, who were to build the necessary expansion to the Tabun plant.
As far as they can reasonably be established, conditions in the Dyhernfurth camps would appear to have been wretched. Initially the camps lacked running water and toilets and throughout there was a lack of space for the total 4-5,000 inmates. Moreover, despite the hazardous nature of working with Tabun, the workers did not have access to a sanatorium on site and were forced to rely on the attentions of the camp SS doctor. Given the sensitive nature of the work at Dyhernfurth, it is also claimed that both KZ sites were sealed, thus meaning, once one was in, one was in "for life".
So what can one conclude from this brief survey? Firstly, the apparent distinctions between the city's concentration and forced labour camp systems in the early part of the war clearly did not last to 1945. Where ZAL inmates would, on the whole, have enjoyed better conditions than their concentration camp colleagues in 1940-41, this was no longer the case by the later stages of the war. This blurring of the edges between the two networks was primarily a result of the shortfall in the region's labour requirement, which in turn caused a growing inflexibility in the forced labour system as it fell increasingly under the influence of the SS, as witnessed by the absorption of the Schmelt organisation by the latter from 1942. In this context it is interesting to note that all new establishments from the middle of 1943 bore the designation KZ, including Breslau I & II, centred on the Reichsbahn Repair Works. Indeed, at the end of the war, all inmates in the region's camps whether KZ or ZAL shared the same fate. With the Soviet advance, all camps were cleared in late January 1945 and force-marched initially to Gross-Rosen and subsequently to Buchenwald. In this process little heed would have been taken if one happened technically to be a forced labourer rather than a concentration camp inmate.
Secondly, what conclusions can be drawn about the national/ethnic make up of the region's forced labour workforce? The designation often given by some post-war authors of ZAL f J, meaning Zwangsarbeitslager für Juden, is misleading, at least as far as Breslau's examples are concerned. As has been shown, figures from the Krupp plant at Markstädt reveal a workforce in which Czechs, Italians and Frenchmen formed the majority for a considerable time. Similarly, the Breslau AEL transferred to Gross-Rosen in 1943 showed a 52% majority of Poles and 15% Czechs. Lastly, just as the SS Statistical office noted the presence of some 50,000 Jews in the Breslau region in 1942, later developments are estimated to have pushed the Polish population of Breslau up to around 30,000. Though such figures do not of course take into account the areas of overlap between these categories, it is clear that the forced labour network as a whole was far from exclusively Jewish.
It is perhaps peculiar that the history of Breslau's concentration and forced labour camps is of only tangential relevance to the history of Breslau's Jewish community. Though it is entirely possible that some Breslau Jews and others could have filtered back into the region's camps after their initial deportation, it is clear from the foregoing that the overwhelming majority of the camp network's inmates were foreigners. Thus one could conclude that Breslau did indeed maintain a Jewish community of sorts after 1943 - though not one of local origin

The Baby in the Building
Picture one of those nice sleek ads that we saw last month for Independence day. Or two weeks ago for Pahela Boishakh. Then keep the audio the same, but replace the visuals with the images from Savar. Why change the visuals but keep the audio, you may ask? Easy answer, I am a big coward. I can look at a dead body and maybe imagine it is still alive, if not for the veneer of white dust accumulated on the face and limbs. But the cries for help? Those whom we have doomed to die? I can't handle that. So, just the video please.
Tears of the Dragon: আল্লাহর কাছে কান্নাকাটি
During the last semester of grad school, I took a Civil Liberties course. It was a grim affair. Every day, we would enter as lighthearted students and leave sad and depressed, convinced that America was on its way to a dictatorship. However, there was one moment of genuine mirth.
Mahmudur Rahman's Arrest and Various Playbooks
Update 1: Mahmudur Rahman remanded for 13 days. Usually CMM grants half of what police ask for. In this case, police asked for 24. So pretty much consistent.
Update 2: Police raid Amar Desh press. Raid being led by the great Biplob Kumar Sarkar.
I'm not going to begin by condemning Mahmudur Rahman's arrest. As someone who has been campaigning for the arrest of others for exercising their rights to free speech, his own arrest, due to exactly the same reason, is more ironic than sad. It is also probably exactly what he wanted. But instead, let's take a look at what's next for the Bangladeshi political landscape.
ICT: The Appeals Process
Mizanur Rahman Khan has an interesting article about the potential future course of the Appeals process of the decisions being handed down by the two tribunals of the ICT. Some highlights from the article, and some of my own thought, after the jump:
Shahbag and Jamaati Violence: Some Thoughts
I have been wondering about the correct frame of reference for the Projonmo Chottor movement. Although comparisons have been made to Tahrir and Occupy, I think there is a more apt comparison that is closer, both temporally and spatially.
Blogger Ahmed Rajib Haider Murdered
The grisly murder of Ahmed Rajib Haider is a heinous crime that deserves swift investigation, prosecution, and punishment. The Bangladeshi state has impressive technological resources at its command for keeping track of its citizens and their means of communication. There should be no lack of political will to investigate this murder.

The kids plot their next move, but Taichi points out that they have nowhere to go in mind. Piyomon says that she�ll be fine as long as Sora is there, but Sora says it�ll be troublesome if she has to take responsibility; when Piyomon asks what she means by that, Sora quickly shrugs it off. Tentomon explains to Koushirou that Piyomon is a sociable Digimon type, and Sora internally wonders if she can get along with someone like that. The kids soon find a path out of the forest.Meanwhile, Koushirou spots a black gear flies into the sky into a nearby mountain. The gear that landed in the mountain begins to spin...As the kids continue walking, hot and thirsty, Piyomon continues to try and get Sora�s attention. Sora snaps, complains about her condition, and tells Piyomon that she�s bothering her. Sora quickly apologizes and Piyomon immediately becomes clingy again. Taichi uses his pocket telescope and finds that there�s a village in the distance they can head for.The gear spins faster and faster, and a flaming figure stands up. The gear rises in the air and lodges into his back.The kids arrive at the village and find that it�s full of Pyocomon, which Piyomon recognizes as her (former) kindred. The Pyocomon express fascination at the new strange creatures called �humans�, while the kids lament that everything in the village is Pyocomon-size and too small for them to rest in.The Pyocomon ask Piyomon how she could evolve and Piyomon says that she could do it because she was with Sora, and the Pyocomon notice that she�s even started picking up Sora�s Verbal Tic. Piyomon tells the Pyocomon that everything must be because she was there to protect Sora, but Sora wonders if Piyomon can really protect her when she has that kind of personality, and has a hard time imagining Piyomon evolving like Agumon and Gabumon if she were in danger.The Pyocomon offer to throw the group a feast, and Takeru finds a fountain, which a Pyocomon explains is connected to a water source at Outlook Mountain. They point out the mountain � the same one where the black gear landed earlier.The agitated flaming Digimon begins to flare up, and suddenly the fountain at the Pyocomon village dries up and spits flames. In addition, the nearby pond is dried up, as is the village�s well. The kids wonder if it has to do with the black gear, and the Pyocomon tell them that a Digimon called Meramon should be protecting it. Taichi looks at the mountain with his telescope and finds the flaming Digimon - Meramon - running right towards them, which the Pyocomon say is unusual behavior.The kids, Digimon, and Pyocomon try to evacuate, and Sora notices that Piyomon is staying behind to help evacuate them, despite their insistence that she should evacuate too. Sora runs after Piyomon and notices Meramon right behind her; Piyomon manages to escape, but he injures her leg, causing her to fall. Sora successfully catches her and says that Piyomon is a friend, which is why she came to save her, but seeing Meramon trying to attack Sora, Piyomon declares she will save Sora and flies up to him.Piyomon is dispatched quickly and the other Digimon find themselves defenseless against Meramon, who simply absorbs their attacks. Seeing Sora in danger, Piyomon declares she can�t lose to this...and evolves to Birdramon. Birdramon quickly takes out Meramon, and the gear in his back flies into the sky and dissolves.Birdramon reverts to Piyomon, and Meramon explains that a gear from the sky lodged itself into his back and caused him to go crazy. With that, he goes back to protecting the mountain, and the Pyocomon throw the feast they promised to the kids......which turns out to be birdseed. The kids are so hungry that they eat it anyway, but it�s still birdseed. Oops!

Jet Aviation Saudi Arabia gains market share in FBO business
Jet Aviation Saudi Arabia recently reported a market share increase of five percent in the fixed base operator (FBO) business.
"An increase in FBO activities is certainly welcome news and indicates that an economic recovery in the business aviation sector is on the horizon," said senior vice president and general manager of Jet Aviation Saudi Arabia, Andreas Plüss. "With a third facility in Dubai – expected to be fully operational in the second half of 2004 – we hope to strengthen our position in the Middle East," he said.
Jet Aviation's facilities in Jeddah and Riyadh were established in 1979 and 1983 respectively. Both facilities offer aircraft handling, executive charter, line maintenance and aircraft-on-ground (AOG) services to private, business and military operators. The two locations each hold Saudi Arabian PCA licenses.
Jet Aviation was founded in Switzerland in 1967. More than 3,500 employees in over 60 facilities and stations worldwide cater to customers in North and South America, Europe, the Middle and Far East. The company provides maintenance, completions and engineering services, fixed base operations, along with aircraft sales, charter, and management on a global basis. — (menareport.com)

Most people who follow Georgia football had figured since the end of last season that Aaron Murray probably would be the Bulldogs' starting quarterback in 2010. What no one figured, of course, was that his competition would dissipate as it has.
But with Zach Mettenberger dismissed from the team and Logan Gray shifting part-time to wide receiver, Murray seems suddenly solidly entrenched as the Dogs' 2010 quarterback.
"We're thinner at QB than we expected to be at this time," coach Mark Richt told a Bulldog Club gathering this week, "but if you want to feel good about it, just go back on the Internet and do a little search on Aaron Murray and watch Aaron's high school tape. And I think you'll get just as excited as you were the day he . . . committed to Georgia."
(If you want to heed Richt's advice, by the way, you can find plenty video of Murray's high school days on YouTube.)
Richt has said that Murray, a redshirt freshman, would have been No. 1 on the post-spring depth chart even if Mettenberger had not been kicked off the team, and Gray's desire to play wide receiver seems to speak volumes about how he saw the chances of surpassing Murray at quarterback this summer.
In high school in Tampa, Murray was a Parade Magazine All-American and MVP of the prestigious Elite 11 camp for the nation's top quarterback prospects. But fresher on Georgia fans' minds is his underwhelming performance in the G-Day spring game.
Richt seemed to be trying to ease those concerns during the Bulldog Club meeting at the Walnut Creek Shooting Preserve near Macon this week.
"His skill set -– you would take Aaron Murray every single year that you are recruiting a quarterback," Richt said. "He's got a very quick release. He's an accurate passer. I know in the G-Day game he wasn't super-accurate, but you got to admit we threw a lot of very low-percentage balls that day. He's an accurate passer."
Murray will be the only newcomer on an offense that returns starters at the other 10 positions. He'll have the luxury of an experienced line, two talented tailbacks and one of the nation's top wide receivers.
Murray "is to the point, in my opinion, where he just needs to play," Richt said in an interview. "The biggest thing for him is to understand that you don't have to do anything spectacular. You don't have to put the team on your shoulders. You're not required to carry this football team. You're required to do your job. And part of your job is to not try to be a hero.
"My biggest thing is: Don't turn a bad play into a catastrophe. If it's a bad play, throw it away, take a sack, whatever you got to do.. . . Let's not be flippant or casual with that ball.".
Georgia committed 28 turnovers (17 interceptions thrown and 11 fumbles lost) last season and had an atrocious turnover ratio of minus-16 (28 lost, 12 gained). Richt calls turnover ratio the most important statistic in football.
"If we just turn that around, we win a minimum of 10 and probably 11 games [last season]," he said. "So we got to get better at that."
That will require forcing more opponent turnovers, which is up to Todd Grantham's defense, and protecting the ball better on offense, which starts with Aaron Murray.

aaron murray would have been the number one quarterback for many recruit ranking systems (espn, etc.) had he not broken his leg. all these "fans" who bash murray for bad accuracy and a weak arm obviously never has seen his camp and season tapes–hes a beast!! how many of his passes were either dropped or hit the finger tips of his receivers on g-day. of course in his first game in front of a large crowd in college hes gonna have some nerves but thats expected. murray will have a productive season and great career at uga and prove all his doubter wrong
May 15th, 2010

Murray will be the best all around QB at UGA since David Greene but more athletic.
May 15th, 2010
1:37 pm
I think the thing that worries most UGA fans about Murray is that if he is so good, then why did Joe Cox start every game last year? They probably forget or maybe do not know that Murray was injured for a good portion of the season and that's more than likely what held him back from starting.
May 15th, 2010
1:39 pm
Okay I did, he hasn't played in a game in 16 months, 20 months come September. Zero SEC experience for the young man, his first SEC test will be in a hostile enviroment against a pretty good team and defense.
May 15th, 2010

The main reason Murray will have a decent season–Georgia plays the weakest schedule in the SEC. When Georgia is getting all lathered up over a visit to Columbia you know it's a weak atse schedule. Once they hit Jax reality will set in. This is another avg Richt team. Plays the avg teams well but can't matchup physically with Fla, Bama, LSU and other elite SEC teams.

Murray is a player. Go watch film. Barring some bad injury he will be a great quarterback. Strong arm, quick release, good feet, and he is smart, a hard worker and a good kid to boot. He is the real deal.

Weak Schedule,
What are you talking about?
Georgia holds the all-time series lead against the following teams from the SEC: Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, Mississippi, Mississippi State, South Carolina, and Vanderbilt.
The Dogs also own the all-time series lead against non-conference and in-state rival Georgia Tech. In the past 20 meetings, the Bulldogs have defeated the Yellow Jackets 15 times.
On the flip side, Alabama, Auburn, LSU, and Tennessee each own the all-time series lead against the Dogs. Georgia, however, has closed the gap on Alabama and LSU by winning 3 of the last 4. And the Dogs have owned Auburn as of late winning 4 out of the last 5! On the flip side, the Bulldogs have not faired well against Tennessee winning only 2 of the last 5 contests. As for hanging with the big dogs, Georgia is the the big DAWG!

FACT: Aaron Murray is a kid with marginal intelligence and athletic skills. The Dawg fans who are getting all pumped up over him need to get a better grip on reality. There are plenty of impressive looking high school quarterbacks who fizzle when they get to college. The SEC isn't high school, folks, and you let Coach Bozo work with this kid during the summer and fall, you're getting set up for a huge letdown.
Mettenberger was by far the best QB prospect, and he's gone. Maybe Richt should be on the phone begging Zach to come back. After a few games, I can just see Sanford Stadium full of signs saying ZACH COME BACK.
So get steeled now for a very frustrating season. If the Dawgs can cut down on penalties and arrests and get a break or two, they may finish 7-5 or 8-4, but that's as good as it's going to get as long as Richt is the head coach at UGAy.

"My biggest thing is: Don't turn a bad play into a catastrophe. If it's a bad play, throw it away, take a sack, whatever you got to do.. . . Let's not be flippant or casual with that ball.".
A real effort to cut out stupid mistakes at the QB position and throughout the defense will make a huge difference in the games this fall. Of course showing up with a REAL defense is going to make things SO MUCH better for everyone.
Clint, Injury was only a part of it. CMR has stated that given the choice he will ALWAYS redshirt QBs and interior linemen. QBs not only have to get used to the much faster pace that they will face in the SEC but the playbooks are as thick as big city phone books and the QBs have a couple of them. The system is very complex and they have to know everything in them so well that they don't have to stop and think but rather just act and react. That redshirt year is invaluable to those kids. It also gives them a chance to build confidence in themselves and instill confidence in their teammates that they are going to be able to handle the position.

Teresa -
Can you back-up your so called "FACT" sweetie? Show the proof sweetheart.
I also see that morals and personal responsibility doesn't enter into the equation for you when it comes to selecting a QB.
You're all the reason what's wrong with alot of so called DAWG fans today.
Find another team babe!

Murray should do well,….figure by his sophomore season he will surpass Joe Cox's level of performance. Don't see him leading uga to a victory over USC-east in the 2nd game,..so you start 1-1. I'll say this,..CMR shouldn't be on the hot seat,….he's .500 against CPJ, damn fine job.

Hey Murray the Midget. Have you ever met Aaron Murray face to face? I bet not. I have actually talked to him face to face and he is not short by any means . I am 6′5 and he is all of 6′1 if not taller – and no he didn't have on platform shoes. You must be very self conscious of your height or something else because you seem to be dwelling on this issue.

By Jacksonville, the three Gator first team AA defensive linemen will be contributing. Book it, Ron Powell, the best player in the nation last year and his DT buddy who was picked MVP in two all-star games, will stuff a ball or two thrown by the midget rookie QB for the Poodles — if Murray still is in the line-up because he is an injury prone guy. That is good news because it will prevent another pick thrown by the Athens rookie.

The Georgia Bulldogs; The 15th
Most Prestigious College Football Program in the Nation
The University of Georgia began their football history 116 years ago in 1892. Since that time, the Bulldogs have played 1,174 games and have compiled an overall record of 731-389-54; the third best Southeastern Conference (SEC) record behind Alabama and Tennessee.
The Dogs have won twelve SEC titles and two national championships in their storied history: a shared title in 1942 and a consensus national championship in 1980. The football program has produced two Heisman Trophy winners (Frank Sinkwich, 1942, and Herschel Walker, 1982) and is the only college football program in the nation to hold the distinction of having three graduates become Super Bowl MVPs (Jake Scott, 1972, Terrell Davis, 1998, and Hines Ward, 2005).
Georgia holds the all-time series lead against the following teams from the SEC: Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, Mississippi, Mississippi State, South Carolina, and Vanderbilt.
The Dogs also own the all-time series lead against non-conference and former SEC rival Georgia Tech winning 15 of the last 20 contests.
Alabama, Auburn, LSU, and Tennessee each own the all-time series lead against the Dogs. However, the Dogs have closed the gap on Alabama and LSU by winning 3 of the last 4. And the Dogs have owned Auburn as of late winning 4 out of the last 5! On the flip side, the Bulldogs have not faired well against Tennessee winning only 2 of the last 5.
Under the leadership of current head coach Mark Richt, the Bulldogs have finished #3 and #2 in the nation (2002, 2007), have recruited a top ten class (according to Rivals) 8 out of Richt's 9 seasons at Georgia (the nation's longest active streak until this year), won two SEC Championships (2002, 2005), three SEC Eastern Division titles, and tied for another. Coach Richt's 90-27 record is sixth best in the country in winning percentage among active coaches (.769). He was named SEC Coach of the Year in both 2002 and 2005. His record against non-conference teams is 39-4 and his teams are 33-6 when playing in an opponent's home stadium. He is one of only nine head coaches in Division I-A history to record 60 or more wins in his first six season and 70 or more wins in his first seven seasons. He's one of only six coaches in history to win two SEC championships in his first five years, and one of only five head coaches in SEC history to record four straight 10-win seasons (2002-05). In bowl games during his tenure, he has gone 7-2, with three Sugar Bowl appearances and two Sugar Bowl victories. Fifty-four of Richt's players have been chosen in the NFL draft over the last nine years, including eight chosen in the 2002 NFL draft–the most Georgia players ever selected in a single year. He also produced two 1st round picks in the 2009 draft in which Matthew Stafford was selected #1 overall.

Hey I've met Murray. Ask him about Ybor. He's been there a time or two. He's only about 6′ or so, not the tallest QB but a good high school player when he was healthy. His best asset is his mobility. He will struggle his first year and then it will be a battle between he and LeMay next year. Even Peyton Manning struggled his first year…

Nice article by Steve from the AJC on Murray. The guy's tough, came back from a broken leg, weeks before he was supposed to, and led his team to a state championship. Legend in Tampa, Fla, the guy is used to playing in big games, and showed himself to be a big game type of guy. He also showed great leadership. Threw for 88 yd's in high school. Plant's a classic high school powerhouse in a big division there. Here's the article:

WEAK SCHEDULE? That is true. I've looked at it (so you know it must be true) and I realistically think we can be 7-1 going in to FLA. The schedule just lines up for the possibility. More accurately, I think we'll be 6-2 at that point, but if we are 5-3 (or worse), then I will be EXTREMELY disappointed.
The most important facts are that this team has 10 returning starters on offense and a defense that couldn't be worse than we were last year. I realize part of the defense failures were rooted in the offense putting them in bad situations repeatedly but that too should be improved with a fully developed run game. Once that came together, it was a different last half of the season than the first! I don't know about 10 wins like CMR said, but there was obvious room for improvement.
BTW TERESA – Weren't you Murray's HS prom date that he dumped for the hotter Cheerleader captain? You sound like sour grapes… I hate North Ave Nerds who have nothing better to do than be envious of a serious football program!

TERESA …you just need to worry about cleaning the house and cooking super tonight. Not football because you are an idiot when it comes to that.

Here's a few video clips on Murray for those interested, very impressive QB, tough, leader, creative, and character.

Ahead of Florida… GREAT REPORT – THANKS!!
BUT… UGA was shown as 14th Greatest! UF was 15th.
Here's what's really grating on the jackets (as shown in their report at #18th)…
The Yellow Jackets haven't had a major bowl win since the 1955-56 season, when they won the 1956 Sugar Bowl at the tail end of the aforementioned five-year dream run under coach Bobby Dodd.
Did you know? Georgia Tech is the highest-rated team in the Prestige Rankings to never be ranked No. 1 in an AP poll.
Suck on that GT fans, while you continue to gloat over a fluke win over the Dawgs – over a year ago.

Teresa must be as drunk as Mettenburger to believe any of that BS she spouted. And 1eyed Jack, better hope your mom doesn't read this blog; she might not do your laundry or cook your supper.

Huh????…Murray is accurate as long as he only throws only high percentage passes. Duh!!!! Isn't everyone???? Well, he won't be throwing those high percentage passes against high school corners in the fall. He better get better at throwing the mid and long range balls, too, if he wants to win in the SEC…and especially when he plays the Bama and the Gators. And just for the record, Brantley has a pro-strength arm and is accurate on any type of pass!!! And he is going to have a ton of weapons to catch and run with the ball this fall.

This is an easy one and don't see why so many people are worried. Does anyone think this guy is worse than Joe Cox? And does anyone think that are defense will be any worse?… I expect a solid 10 win season this year and maybe more.

TampaGator, not sure what you were responding to, but I agree that Brantley was a very high rated QB, but he too has not been tested much by the SEC competition, so lets hold off on crowning him the king of all QB's as you seem to think,,The same thing can be said of Murray, has all the tools, but hasn't been tested…I can only attest to what i have seen and read of this young man….I get the feeling that the gators can't stand the fact that we got him away from your precious gators…You know we lost a lot of good players to the gators and other teams just as you have to us…Brantley and Murray's season will not be just about them, but how the other players perform around them..I don't know if you are knocking Murray or not, but the negative comments about Murray from alot of gator fans seem unwarranted…

Metternberger and Logan Gray looked good on tape in high school too. You kicked one off the team and the other almost transferred. Whether or not he's good isnt the issue. The issue is you never know with these kids. For UGA, he HAS to be good….or else.

1st. there are no easy schedules in the SEC.2nd UGA ALWAYS gets the cream of the crop in recruits. 3rd. Teresa may be wiser than you think.
