La Hermandad Cooperative: This family initiative cooperative was started in 1993 as a farm, focusing on coffee production, with social mission. The goals of Le Hermandad are to preserve and restore ecology through agro-ecology tourism. In addition to growing and processing coffee, the cooperative also supports a small primary school on-site for the children of the local and extended community, including the children of the farm workers, as well as adult education classes focusing on gardening and nutrition.
While coffee is the major economic supporter of the cooperative, they recently established a large garden with the goal of achieving food sovereignty for the cooperative. The garden also serves an educational tool for community education projects. Amizade volunteers visiting the cooperative will learn about the coffee production process from growth, through harvest, sorting and preparing the beans for roasting. Volunteers may also work in the garden and assist with other projects around the farm.
Fundación El Sueño de la Campana: The foundation was established through support from groups from Spain with the idea of "Receive, Give, Share" and the intention of establishing an organization that generates sustainable jobs in the town of San Ramón, with special emphasis on women and youth. The foundation supports community projects through community education and trainings with a focus on self-sustaining projects social transformation.
The foundation campus includes a hotel, restaurant, bar, cultural center, classrooms, and lecture hall. In addition to the operation of the hotel and restaurant, the foundation offers an after school program for area youth, adult education, and community and cultural events. The foundation also partners with a number of agricultural and artistic cooperatives in the region, including La Hermandad.

The Final Shuttle Landing
The space shuttle Atlantis touched-down on a runway in Florida at 2:59 am Pacific time this morning – the last time one of the shuttle fleet will do so. The fleet flew for 30 years: the first launch of a shuttle into orbit took place April 12, 1981.
The U.S.S.R. launched Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite to reach Earth orbit, on October 4, 1957, and it burned-up on re-entry on January 4, 1958. The first U.S. satellite, Explorer 1, was launched on January 31, 1958. The word "aerospace" was supposedly coined on February 2. The U.S. Congress created the National Aeronautics and Space Administration on July 29, and NASA launched its first satellite, Pioneer 1, on October 11.
I was born on the last day of 1958. So, the U.S. space program and myself are about the same age. I was one of those kids that read science fiction stories about space travel. I followed the space program the way other kids followed baseball. I watched the first Apollo Moon landing on TV on July 20, 1969 (along with about 500 million other people). I watched the first shuttle launch on TV in a college classroom in '81. And a few minutes ago I watched the last shuttle landing on TV – satellite TV.
Now I wonder – will I see U.S. astronauts go back into space in my lifetime?
Government Paid For Gay Penis Study
A study of the effect of penis size on gay men's sex lives and health that was funded in part by the Federal Government is being cited as an example of tax dollar waste by the Traditional Values Coalition.
"This country is broke and we cannot spend money on this kind of stuff," said Andrea Lafferty, president of the Coalition. "This is just another example of the liberal gay agenda that is taking our country toward socialism. Why wasn't a study done on the effect of penis size on heterosexual sex? Now there's something we should be spending money on! But to save money we should engage volunteers to collect information. I'd volunteer."
"The data were not collected using taxpayer funds," Jeffrey Parsons, a professor with Hunter College, said in an email. "National Institutes of Health funds were not used to measure anyone's penis size. I spent my own money on that. And it cost a lot in spotting guys drinks and on motel rooms, let me tell you."
A similar study on the effect of "butt-cheek tension" was also cited by the TVC as an example of "institutional waste".

Chimney cove
Chimney is the first in a group of clothing-optional beaches south of Sand Harbor. "It's sometimes used by teens and twenty-somethings who go skinny-dipping during the week, when few other people are around, but the rest of the time it's mostly clothed," says a visitor.
In June, "it was trashed by some drunken youths," says TAN's North Swanson. "Over the last 20 years, there have been a number of efforts to clean up the beach, but within a few weeks, kids start leaving their garbage there again."
Part of Toiyabe National Forest.
From the North Shore, take Highway 28 south to Sand Harbor. Just over a mile south of Sand Harbor, look on your right for an iron security gate for an estate. Proceed south on 28 another 200 yards until you come to a gated Forest Service parking lot on the east (mountain) side of the highway. Or, from Stateline, follow Highway 50 north to 28. Go north on 28 about six miles until you see a parking lot on the west (lake) side of the highway. Don't park there. Continue north on 28 just over a half-mile and turn right into the other parking lot, described above. Park in the little, 30-car lot, walk across the highway, and take the easy trail down to the beach. It should take you about 5-10 minutes to reach the sand.
A curving, sandy shoreline with hundreds of boulders, both in and next to the water.
On hot summer weekdays, Chimney attracts a few young nudists. But it's mostly a suited beach.
Parking lot easy to miss. "Suited users sometimes look at you funny if you're nude there," says visitor Robert Carlsen.

Cathy's Tomato-Bean Salad
As far back as I can recall, my mother and grandmother made this salad...with a few of the ingredients "missing". You see, one night, I was preparing dinner for my future husband—who just happened to be a chef. Naturally, I wanted to impress him with my cooking! But my cupboards were bare—except for a can of "chick-peas" and one of olives. Into the salad they went. That was nearly
8 Servings
Prep: 15 min. + chilling
1 can (15 ounces) garbanzo beans
chickpeas, rinsed and drained
4 large ripe tomatoes, sliced thick
1 cup thinly sliced red onion
1 can (6 ounces) medium pitted ripe olives, drained and halved
1/2 cup olive oil
5 to 6 large fresh basil leaves, snipped
1 tablespoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Salt to taste
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
In a large salad bowl, layer beans, tomatoes, onion and olives.
Combine all remaining ingredients; pour over vegetables.
Cover and chill at least 3 hours or overnight. Serve chilled or at
room temperature. Yield: 8 servings.

All that Pinning Finally Payed Off…
After one whole year of mindless pinning, I finally did it. There's been the occasional teacher idea and before the wedding, I definitely stored some of my ideas on a pinboard. Yet, overall, my relationship with Pinterest has been little more than another time-consuming, social media sinkhole. I've never even recreated a recipe from my massive pit of pins.
Enter my recent house project. A wreath. I always made a pine wreath with my mom at her house for the holidays. We'd walk her street, picking up pine cones, berries, and all sorts of different pines. The, I'd pick out a ribbon that my mom would use to make me a big, beautiful bow. Well, our little Misha can't handle pine needles with her asthma so there will be no more pine wreaths in this house for the holidays. I've found several adorable wreaths on Pinterest but it wasn't until I found this beauty that I loved one enough to make it myself. So, using this $98, 13" living succulent wreath from VivaTerra as my inspiration, I went to work.
First, I trimmed my succulents with scissors. They need to be left to dry and form a callous before they will re-root in the wreath. I left mine out on a baking sheet.
They are so beautiful. What isn't to love about succulents? They are proof that nature provides us with the best shades and hues we could ever ask for.
So I left them out for 5 days to let the ends callous over. They were calloused within 48 hours, but I chose to order a pre-stuffed moss wreath and had to wait for it to come in the mail. The ends of the succulents look like a scab when they are ready.
I bought my moss wreath from Topiary Art Works. My inspiration wreath was only 13" and I wanted a 19" wreath, and I didn't want to worry about stuffing my wreath with moss myself. When my wreath arrived, it was stuffed nice and plump with sphagnum moss. I soaked mine in the bathtub to get it ready to hold my succulents. It weighed a ton when I took it out.
Using the patio table as a workspace, with an old towel underneath to keep the mess to a minimum, I tried to map out my next moves. Figuring out where everything was going to go was the smartest move of the entire project. However, the petals of my succulents were very delicate, so once I had an idea of where they would be planted, I didn't touch them again.
Each succulent needed to be planted. I used a pair of scissors, and dug through the moss, making a tiny hole for the stem to rest.
I worked my way carefully around the wreath, planting each succulent into the moss. This is when I truly appreciated purchasing my wreath pre-stuffed with moss. They stuffed that sucker tight, making it easy to secure the stems. If you choose to stuff your own wreath frame, make sure to overstuff with moss because that tight, thick environment makes it a lot easier to plant!
After a little bit of patience, I had the basis for my wreath. I took wire and secured each succulent, wrapping it tightly around the sides of the moss. This is important because it will be awhile before the succulents reroot into the moss and without roots, well, they'd fall off. I lost a few petals doing this. I'd compare it to being a surgeon and I just don't have the dexterity to be in the operation room.
The end result was completely worth the patience and concentration. I'm very happy with the way it turned out. You see a lot of moss because the succulents should grow into the wreath. I'm keeping it flat for another 24 hours before hanging it on the door.
Voilà! My living wreath! The wire is thin enough that you can't see it unless you are looking for it. Maintenance is rather simple- a few squirts of water occasionally and watch it grow! Here you can see how it turned out on the front door!

Sydney - Australia Test captain Michael Clarke has surged two places to the top of the new International Cricket Council Test player rankings, after piling loads of runs this summer in Test cricket.
Clarke is right now in Barbados, preparing for the upcoming series against the West Indies.
South African AB De Villiers joins Clarke at the top, with both the players having 821 points each, followed by another South African Jacques Kallis with 819 points.
Clarke has been at the apex of the ICC list once before, in August 2009 after scoring 93 against England at Headingley. After a series whitewash of India decorated by his 329 not out in Sydney, there wasn't any scope of argument left about him reclaiming the top spot.
He is back at No.1 position due to the previous leader, Kumar Sangakkara, making zero and 14 in Sri Lanka's win over England in Galle.
Clarke believes the past one-year has been fantastic for the Australian team, but feels his team needs to be more consistent.
"It's been a great 12 months. We've obviously played some outstanding cricket, and there have been some patches in the past 12 months where we haven't been as consistent as we would like," the Sydney Morning Herald quoted Clarke, as saying. "Overall we've grown as a team, I think we've come a long way," he added.
Australia continues their pursuit for the world's No.1 Test ranking when the three-match series in the Caribbean starts next Saturday.

I found these fabulous plain burlap zippered pencil cases in the dollar bins at a major retailer. A cheap blank canvas for sure (but it's easy to make your own cases too and burlap isn't expensive to work with). The burlap is perfect to use with iLoveToCreate Tulip Brand Dimensional Fabric Paint and adds that extra special retro vibe to making fun 1970s inspired designs (think Brady Bunch and Enid Collins bags).
Burlap Pencil Cases (those used were found in $1.00 bin, but easily made as well)
Tulip Brand Neon Dimensional Paint (the five color Neon pack: Yellow, Purple, Blue, Green, Orange)
Wax Paper (use dollar store wax paper for my craft projects)
Sharpie Marker
How to:
Place a piece of wax or parchment paper inside the pencil-case to ensure that marker and paint doesn't bleed through.
Draw your design on each pencil-case with a Sharpie Marker (black can work, just make sure to cover all your lines with paint).
Shake Tulip Brand Dimensional Neon Paint very well and then go over your outlined design with the paint (make sure to squeeze consistently watching out for air bubbles that could make paint squirt out further than your lines).
Let paint dry flat for at least four hours (I would let it sit longer than that, especially if you did any fills).
Now, you've got a fabulous decorated case to use for pens and pencils, aspirin, gum or to fill with goodies and gift to someone.
You could use this idea for so many things: a burlap table runner, tote bag, place mats,and on and on…… and iLoveToCreate has lots of fabric paint options.

THOMAS — Coming of an emotional win over rival Blackfoot the night before, the Snake River boys basketball team took the floor again Saturday night against another Bingham County rival and a team that was coming of an emotional rivalry game win as well in Aberdeen.
And while emotion was high on both sides, it would be the size and shooting of Snake River that proved to be too much for the Tigers to handle as the Panthers earned a 60-34 win.
THOMAS — When Blackfoot and Snake River meet regardless the sport anything can and does happen.
That was the case again Friday night as the Panthers and Broncos boys basketball teams battled to the very end with the Panthers coming back for a 43-40 lead in front of a packed house at Snake River High School.
SHELLEY — When the Shelley and Snake River girls basketball teams met last Saturday in Thomas it was a third quarter run by the home team that earned the Panthers the victory.
The teams met again in Shelley Thursday night and the outcome was much different than six days earlier.
POCATELLO — Snake River opened wrestling season at Highland with a bang on Wednesday. The Panthers beat Pocatello 39-37 and dropped a 50-26 decision to Highland.
BLACKFOOT — For a quarter the Blackfoot boys basketball team hung with 5A Madison, but things quickly fell apart in the remaining three quarters.
A 17-2 third quarter run by the Bobcats was the final nail in the Broncos coffin as Madison cruised to a 63-36 victory Tuesday night at Blackfoot High School.
"Usually my kids just play hard from start to finish, but not tonight," Blackfoot head coach Dan Hale said. "They were content to just concede the game and try and keep it under 30."
THOMAS — On Thursday night Shelley Lady Russets junior center Brecklyn Hobbs was locked up in a physical match-up with Firth's Bailey Nelson.
Hobbs held the dangerous Nelson to zero points in the game.
Saturday night, Hobbs and the rest of the Lady Russets made the perilous drive for Shelley to Snake River where Hobbs faced another tough match-up this time with Lady Panthers Brylie Bair.
IONA — The Blackfoot Lady Broncos kicked off 4A District 5/6 play Thursday night with a 53-45 win over Bonneville at Bonneville High School.
Ella Alvarez scored a team-high 20 points after being held in check for the last three games.
MorningRose Tobey was held in check from the field by Bonneville, but she made her presence known in other ways.
Tobey had 10 assist and nine rebounds in the game.
"We are just about where we want to be," Blackfoot head coach Merle Smith said. "We have been playing well lately and when we can get our first league win on the road, that is big for us."
FIRTH — While the temperature outside of Firth High School hovers around zero, the shooting on the floor was equally as cold as the Lady Cougar took on northern Bingham County rival Shelley Thursday night.
BLACKFOOT — It has been a week or so since the last All-Bingham County team has been released, but I decided it's time for another.
So today we take a look at the All-Bingham County volleyball team chosen by yours truly.
BLACKFOOT — With five new starters for the 2013-14 season no one in attendance for the Blackfoot boys basketball teams season opener with Idaho Falls had any idea what to expect.

El Paso, Texas (KDBC) — If you're thinking that a new pet might be the perfect Christmas gift for a loved one, the El Paso Humane Society might be a good stop.
The shelter will have a special event starting December 16th up until Christmas Eve that will lower the adoption fee for all animals 12 weeks and up to 60-dollars.
But before you head out there are some things they want you to know before buying or gifting a pet.
"This present is going to be a 15 to 20 year commitment so it's not until the puppy or kitten is not cute anymore you want to make sure that if you're giving it as a present that person really does want it and we're encouraging people to get gift certificates instead the shelter does have that in place." Humane Society coordinator Kandolite Flores said.
For more information about buying a gift certificate and the adoption process contact the Humane Society at 915-532-6971.

Martina Correia, 1967-2011, !Presente!
- 12-1-2011
(APN) ATLANTA -- Martina Correia, the sister of Troy Davis who was his strongest advocate, has succumbed to breast cancer.
She had been diagnosed with breast cancer eleven years ago and given six months to live at that time, but she fought to stay alive so that she could fight for her brother, Troy, to stay alive. The State of Georgia executed Davis a few weeks ago for a murder conviction based upon witness testimony, despite the recantation of seven out of nine of those witnesses.
"We were very blessed to know Martina and to work with her for more than eleven years," Laura Moye, Death Penalty Abolition Campaign Coordinator for Amnesty International USA, told Atlanta Progressive News.
"She was a true champion and hero for human rights in the US and beyond. She changed all of us and she changed this world. We know her spirit is very strong and is going to continue to be a force for changing this world for the better," Moye said.
"I was with Martina this week in the hospital, and she had a peaceful passing," Moye said.
"We are inspired by her strength and by her courage. We are so grateful that she was a part of our cause and that we could be a part of her cause," Moye said.
"Martina was the spark of the movement that built up around her brother. She was the person who championed his cause from the beginning and for many, many years she was a voice crying in the wilderness... people started to listen to her," Moye said.
"With her leadership in the campaign, we always involved her in the decisions to build up an effective campaign," Moye said.
"She inspired so many people to be involved in his struggle. She said it was really part of a larger struggle for human rights in this country," Moye said.
"She got involved in Amnesty because she wanted to help her brother but she recognizes what was happening to her brother was happening to other people, she wanted to help other people. It was very much what they wanted - her and her brother," Moye said.
"Martina Correia fought a 20-year-long battle for justice for her brother. She led an international campaign to save her brother's life and prove his innocence. She was the voice for Troy and their family and led an international chorus in singing, I AM TROY DAVIS," Sara Totonchi, Executive Director of the Southern Center for Human Rights, said in a statement prepared for APN.
"Martina balanced her struggle for her brother's life and against the death penalty with fighting her own personal daily battle with breast cancer that threatened her life since 2002," Totonchi said.
"She was not only a leader in the anti-death penalty community, she is also at the helm of the National Black Leadership Initiative on Cancer. She focused her work on prevention, education and cultural barriers to eradicate cancer in communities of color," Totonchi said.
"Many times over the years I would be on a conference call with Martina only to find out midway through the call that she was simultaneously receiving chemotherapy while fully participating in our discussion," Totonchi said.
"But with Martina, it was not only what work she did; it's how she did it. Martina led this movement by demonstrating an unshakable commitment to ending the death penalty. She is unparalleled in her determination," she said.
"Martina's focus was always bigger than her brother's case. Martina never lost sight of the lives and the families of all people in prison and on death rows. I remember during one of the times Troy had an execution warrant pending with just two weeks before he was set to be killed, Martina called me to check in about a mutual friend of ours who recently went back to prison. She wanted to know if his wife and kids were okay and what address could she send a grocery store gift card to help them out during this difficult time," she said.
"This was just one of the many, many times I have felt so blessed to know and work with someone as extraordinary as Martina. She has informed and directed my work at the Southern Center for Human Rights for over ten years. I could always rely on her to direct me to the issues that are most deeply impacting the lives of people in prison and their families, whether it was the exorbitant fees charged to people seeking medical attention inside the prisons to abuses by the corrections officers at visitation. And she kept these families and their struggles in her heart always- every time she spoke to an audience about her brother's case, she would invoke them," she said.
"Martina's hope and struggle should sustain and push us all to do more, to work harder, to take more risks, to keep our eyes on the prize and to work for justice and peace for our communities on both sides of the prison walls. In Martina's name – and Troy's, and their mother Virginia's who passed earlier this year – we rededicate our lives to working every day to end this death penalty, in Georgia, across the nation, and around the world," she said.
Correia was a nurse and a veteran of the first US invasion of Iraq.
After being diagnosed with breast cancer, she was no longer able to work and was on disability, so she traveled the nation and indeed the world advocating for Troy Davis.
She also became an advocate for curing breast cancer.
Correia's mother, Virginia Davis, died in April 2011, only months before Troy Davis was executed.
"I think the death penalty takes a terrible toll on all the families who are involved, it's interesting to know Troy's mother and sister died within months of his execution," Moye said.
Correia is survived by one son, Antone De'juan Davis-Correia; two sisters, Kimberly and Ebony Davis; and one brother, Lester Davis.

Such sad, sad news. Martina Correia was really an amazing woman. I was so impressed by not only her commitment to her brother Troy's innocence and to seeking justice in his case, but her vision and perseverence in building the international movement that even got the Pope and the Indigo Girls agreeing on something, and certainly prolonged his life for some years. She has had a major hand in renewing the movement against the death penalty.
I can't help but think that if Troy Davis's life had been spared, she might still be alive.
Thank you Matthew and APN for your coverage.
RIP beloved Martina. You have changed the whole world for the best.
Thank you, APN. You have always been a champion for Justice.
Martina got me involved with the fight for Troy when I heard her speak at a UGA law school conference a few years ago. I'd gone because of immigrant rights. Listening to Martina convinced me of her brother's innocence. Although I couldn't know he was innocent, I believed he was and mustered the support of many friends to work to keep Troy from being killed. She was, and is, and inspiration. I didn't know she was sick. What a blow for the family, these 3 deaths so close together. May they all rest in peace and may we continue to fight for peace and justice, inspired by them to be strong and never give up.

Bribery and Public Procurement - An Experimental Study
AbstractA procurement contract is granted by a bureaucrat (the auctioneer) who is interested in a low price and a bribe from the provider. The optimal bids and bribes are derived based on an iid private cost assumption. In the experiment, bribes are negatively framed (betweensubjects treatment) to capture that society is better off if bribes are rare or low. Although bids are lower than predicted, behavior is qualitatively in line with the linear equilibrium prediction. When bribes generate a negative externality, there is a significant increase in the variability of the data.

Saladin's policies
Saladin's remission of all taxes not explicitly sanctioned by Islamic law must have contributed to his own popularity as well as to the stability of his regime. To ensure the defense of his state against both internal and external enemies, he strengthened the fortifications of Cairo by building a citadel and extending the Fāṭimid city walls. Despite the major military and propagandistic efforts he mounted against the Crusaders, Saladin continued to treat the Christians of Egypt with tolerance; the Coptic Church thrived under the Ayyūbids, and Copts still served the government. Saladin also treated the Christians of Jerusalem with magnanimity after the conquest of that city. Under Saladin the Jewish community enjoyed protection, and such noted scholars as Moses Maimonides—who was the sultan's personal physician—settled there.
Much to the consternation of the popes, trade between Egypt and the Italian city-states remained brisk, and the Egyptians were able to use raw materials provided by the Italian merchants to forge weapons against the Crusaders. The administration of Egypt stayed in the hands of the vast, mainly civilian, bureaucracy but was supervised by military officials.
Power struggles
The Ayyūbids introduced a significant change in the governance of their empire that was decisive for the history of their rule in Egypt. Though the Ayyūbids were themselves of Kurdish descent, Saladin followed the Turkish practice of assigning the provinces as fiefdoms to members of his family. In theory, such a measure would ensure the loyalty of the provinces to the central government of Egypt through the loyalty of Ayyūbid kinsmen to their family leader. In practice, however, the measure led to recurrent power struggles in which each governor used his province as a base from which to defy the supreme Ayyūbid power of Egypt. The sultans al-Malik al-ʿĀdil (reigned 1207–18) and al-Malik al-Kāmil (reigned 1218–38) each succeeded in reuniting Syria and Egypt under his own leadership. Kāmil, especially, was able to exploit Frankish attacks—in the form of the Fifth Crusade, directed against Damietta—to rally family and provincial support for the defense of Egypt. Nevertheless, given the dissension within the Ayyūbid empire, it was clearly in the interest of the Egyptian sultan to reach a peaceful settlement with the Crusaders; this was achieved in 1229 by a truce between Kāmil and the Holy Roman emperor Frederick II. The agreement stipulated that Kāmil exchange possession of Jerusalem and other territory in the Holy Land for Frederick's guarantee to support the sultan against aggression from any source.
Growth of Mamlūk armies
The only real security for Ayyūbid Egypt lay in its independent military strength. This explains why one of the last sultans, al-Ṣāliḥ Ayyūb (reigned 1240, 1245–49), resorted to increased purchase of Turkish mamlūks as a means of manning his armies. Although slave troops had formed an important part of Egyptian armies since the time of Aḥmad ibn Ṭūlūn, their strength had been checked by racial dissension among the various slave units and by the presence of nonslave elements. But after the death of al-Ṣālih Ayyūb in the course of the Crusade of Louis IX—which mamlūk troops were crucial in thwarting—a group of rebellious mamlūks assassinated his son and successor Tūrān-Shah and elevated al-Ṣālih's wife Shajar al-Durr to the throne in 1250. Her brief rule marked the first time a woman had ruled Egypt since Roman times, but, pressured by the rebellious Ayyūbid emirs in Syria and by the ʿAbbāsid caliph in Baghdad (all of whom demanded that a man rule Egypt), she married a mamlūk general named Aybak. The assassination in 1257 of both queen and consort occurred barely a year before Mongol armies stormed Baghdad and put an end to the ʿAbbāsid caliphate, leaving military slaves to rule Egypt with no legitimizing authority. High ranking mamlūks had played a role in politics in the Islamic world since the 9th century; some had even seized political control (as in the Ghaznavid dynasty of Turkey). But for the first time a system arose—in what otherwise might have been a dynastic interregnum—wherein former slaves stood at the head of a self-perpetuating slave dynasty. This new order, which came at a time when the light of Baghdad had been extinguished and which lasted for two and a half centuries, brought Egypt to a new cultural and political flowering.
The Mamlūk and Ottoman periods (1250–1800)
The Mamlūk rulers (1250–1517)
During the Mamlūk period Egypt became the unrivaled political, economic, and cultural centre of the eastern Arabic-speaking zone of the Muslim world. Symbolic of this development was the reestablishment in 1261 under the Mamlūk rulers of the ʿAbbāsid caliphate—destroyed by the Mongols in their sack of Baghdad three years earlier—with the arrival in Cairo of a youth claiming ʿAbbāsid lineage. Although the caliph enjoyed little authority, had no power, and was of dubious authenticity, the mere fact that the Mamlūks chose to maintain the institution in Cairo is a measure of their determination to dominate the Arab-Islamic world and to legitimize their own rule. It is curious that the Mamlūks—all of whom were of non-Arab (most were Turks and, later, Circassians), non-Muslim origin and some of whom knew little if any Arabic—founded a regime that established Egypt's supremacy in Arab culture.
Mamlūk legitimacy also rested on the regime's early military successes, particularly those against the Mongols, who were seen by many contemporaries as undefeatable and as a threat to the very existence of Islam as a political culture. In 1260, two years after the demoralizing sack of Baghdad, the Mongol leader sent an ambassador to Egypt to deliver terms of surrender. The Mamlūk leader, Quṭuz, who had come to power after the death of Aybak and Shajar al-Durr, ordered the Mongol ambassador put to death, thus insuring war against what seemed an unbeatable adversary. After their victory at the Battle of ʿAyn Jālūt later that year, however, the Mamlūks were able to roll back the Mongol armies from the Levant. This victory, and the success of subsequent Mamlūk sultans against the Crusaders in Syria and Palestine, lent a certain sanction to Mamlūk rule that it may otherwise never have attained.

Call 215-248-8800
Campaign for Springfield Treasurer a heated contest
When Joan Parsons decided to e-mail the faculty and staff of the Springfield Township School District to introduce herself, she took her campaign from a quiet mission to replace current Township Treasurer Bonny Davis to a heated contest with the click of her mouse.
Republican Parsons is challenging Democrat Davis for the position, which oversee revenue collection for the Township with an annual budget of $17 million.
Parsons, who grew up in Chestnut Hill, used the school district's Web site, which lists the faculty and staff, to contact the employees, introducing herself as a candidate for treasurer. The Democrats were appalled by what they considered a breach of public trust.
"It is an inappropriate use of school property," said Adina Birnbaum, co-chair of the Springfield Township Democratic Party. "It's pretty clear the school's Web site is for school issues. It showed poor judgment."
Birnbaum said some of the e-mail's recipients were offended. The district responded with its own e-mail making sure the employees knew Parsons had not been authorized to contact them via the Web site.
The e-mail issue aside, Davis' tenure as treasurer has been contentious almost from the beginning. The Board of Commissioners appointed Davis in January after previous treasurer Ken Bradley resigned because of illness. In April, Davis sent a seven-page letter to the Board outlining the obstacles and challenges of the position. In the letter, Davis described an office in chaos and an overwhelming amount of work that had been neglected by her predecessors.
"I think a lot of people have lied about this job," she wrote. "I will not pretend checks came in later than they did. I will not lie and tell you this job is just 'sending out bills.'"
Davis said the letter was sent during a difficult time in the transition when she was being criticized for not doing the job better, faster.
Davis was sworn in on Jan. 21 with a Feb. 1 deadline for sending out the tax bills looming. The bills went out two weeks late, but that did not stop the lions' share of payments from coming on by the March 31 deadline. Davis said what was supposed to be a part-time job quickly became a round-the-clock endeavor.
"I work 40-50 hours a week at this position, and that is on top of my full-time job," said Davis, who works as an accountant at Fesnak and Associates in Blue Bell.
According to Birnbaum, the letter was in response to repeated dogging by Chris Tomlinson, chair of Springfield Township's Republican Committee.
"She is making $70,000 a year and she doesn't make the deposits on time," Tomlinson agreed. "The letter was in response to questions about her being behind of tax revenue."
Birnbaum vehemently defend the job that has been done thus far.
"She had to step in with little time before the taxes were collected," Birnbaum said. "She was handed an antiquated computer system that she has completely updated."
Birnbaum was quick to point out that Davis' office is now running smoothly - and more importantly - Davis is the only one out of the two candidates with relevant experience.
Parsons has worked as an accounts receivables clerk for more than 20 years. That is all well and good, Davis said, if the job were truly what some people, such as Tomlinson, want to believe it is "just sending out bills."
"Money is coming in and her job is to get that money deposited - not to let it sit in her office," Tomlinson said.
Not so, Davis said. The job is more complicated than that.
"During March there were 100 people lined up outside my office everyday and 100 more envelopes to open and be processed," she said.
Each one of those people represents a different story, issue or question. Each check from a bank may be worth millions of dollars to the township, but it has to be credited to thousands of households.
Still Tomlinson said he thinks it is outrageous for Davis to complain when she is well compensated for her efforts.
"It's outrageous to complain about a job you wanted and that you make $70,000 a year at," he said.
Again the Democrats disagree. The treasurer position is not salaried, rather it is paid by each revenue-generating entity – the township, school district, waste authority, county and state. The hitch is that the treasurer has to pay for all of the office's expenses, including rent, staff compensation, utilities and supplies. The take-home pay can be less than 30 percent of the income.
"I'm not complaining," Davis said in response to Tomlinson's criticism of her letter. "I'm explaining."

Visual Field Test

William C. Shiel Jr., MD, FACP, FACR
Dr. Shiel received a Bachelor of Science degree with honors from the University of Notre Dame. There he was involved in research in radiation biology and received the Huisking Scholarship. After graduating from St. Louis University School of Medicine, he completed his Internal Medicine residency and Rheumatology fellowship at the University of California, Irvine. He is board-certified in Internal Medicine and Rheumatology.
What is a visual field test?
A visual field test is a method of measuring an individual's entire scope of vision, that is their central and peripheral (side) vision. Visual field testing actually maps the visual fields of each eye individually. The visual field test is a subjective examination, requiring the patient to understand the testing instructions, fully cooperate, and complete the entire test in order to provide useful information.
What is a visual field test used for?
Visual field testing is most frequently used to detect any signs of glaucoma damage to the optic nerve. In addition, visual field tests are useful for detection of central or peripheral retinal disease, eyelid conditions such as ptosis or drooping, optic nerve disease, and diseases affecting the visual pathways within the brain. The visual pathways carry information from the eye to the visual or occipital cortex in the brain, where this information is processed into vision.
How is visual field testing done?
There are a variety of methods utilized to measure the visual fields. Virtually all visual field testing is performed one eye at a time, with the opposite (contralateral) eye completely covered to avoid errors. In all testing, the patient must look straight ahead at all times in order to avoid testing the central vision rather than the periphery. Most modern visual field testing devices also continuously monitor fixation, or the ability of the patient to maintain a consistent straight ahead gaze. To summarize, visual field testing is useful for numerous reasons:
A crude visual field test can be done by having the patient look straight ahead and count the fingers shown by the examiner from the side. More typically, however, visual fields are measured by a computerized assessment in an optometrist's, ophthalmologist's, or neurologist's office. For these procedures, one eye is covered and the patient places his or her chin in a bowl-shaped chin rest. Then, when the patient sees lights or movement of various intensities and at different locations, he or she pushes a button. In all standardized testing, the right eye is tested first, followed by the left eye. This process produces a computerized map of the visual field.
Thus, visual field testing can be grouped into several important categories:
Visual field testing is generally covered by virtually all health-care insurance plans. Testing may be limited to one time per year for patients who are called glaucoma suspects, that is, likely to develop glaucoma in the future. Insurance plans usually allow two visual field tests per year for patients who have already been diagnosed with glaucoma.
Static perimeter visual field testing devices all incorporate an internal computer with the ability to store, print, and transmit important patient data. The field report generated by modern visual field devices includes a wealth of information, all of which can be useful to the doctor interpreting the results:
The visual field test generally is performed after visual acuity testing, but before examination by the doctor. Visual field testing requires a minimal amount of time for most otherwise healthy patients, but it may be moderately tiring or stressful for ill or elderly patients. Visual field testing is also very difficult for younger children or patients with mental disabilities or developmental delay, such as Down's syndrome for example. Common testing time for visual fields in both eyes:
