Today, is my mom's birthday! Mom, this cake is for you.

First, I've uploaded an updated genealogy database. I'm a statistics kids of guy so here's what's changed.
That's over 300 individuals added within the last 2 weeks. How? I've been putting off adding more of Kuhn's history for the last 4 years because I've been so intent on the Doddema line. Since the my Internet is down, I've had loads of time to add this information in. I'm sure there will be an update to the update once families look at it.
I've recently upgraded to the newest version of Legacy (v7) which now has templates for sources that follows the genealogical standard so some of the sources that you find may look different to you. Give me some time and all sources will be changed over to the new system.
I mentioned the Internet. I've already put it on Twitter but since we moved, I changed from cable modem to DSL. Big mistake. Super slow. Since I play World of Warcraft and do genealogy, I need fast access and DSL just wasn't cutting it. So I made the decision to go back to cable modem. 2 weeks ago I called the cable company and was told that the fastest they could come out was September 8th. 4 weeks to receive service!!!! That's ridiculous but there's nothing I can do about it.
Until then, I'll be using the local public library which interestingly enough, whose wi-fi was down earlier this week. Go figure. I'll be checking emails and such throughout the week, probably every other day or so so don't give up on me. I'm still here and very much dedicated to DoddemaGen.
I first met Henk when researching the Doddema name about 4-5 years ago. He had already done some great research and willingly passed along the information that he had put together. Shortly thereafter, DoddemaGen became a reality.
He does volunteer work in Africa. What exactly I'll leave to him. Maybe he can write that in a post someday (hint, hint ).
All's I know for certain is that I'm honored that he's joined DoddemaGen. I respect the work that he's already done and hopefully the work that will continue to be done for our ancestors. They're the ones that this site is dedicated to, those that have done so much to bring us this far.
I invite all Doddema/Dodde's to join in. Share your stories, both of now and "back then". While there may be a language barrier between us, we are still family. I look forward to working with all of you.
It's now been a couple weeks since the move weekend or should I say the move weekend from h – e – double hockey sticks!!! It was a nightmare. First off, we had asked both our old and new ward to help move our stuff over to the new house. We were told "No Problem!" Half an hour after the given time, our old ward showed up with 6 guys. Cool! So how about the new ward? Never showed up…at all! We were only able to get about 1/2 of our stuff into the new garage that day. Continue reading

Tariqka Sheffey is under "fire" this week, but not from enemy rounds. The U.S. Army Pfc. is getting shelled by social media bombs after she posted an Instagram "selfie" showing her hiding out in a car to avoid a flag salute – then swanking about it with a lazy, arm-behind-the-head pic.
According to NBC News on Tuesday, Sheffey is now accused of dishonoring her service, and almost all who have commented on her actions are demanding that she be removed from active duty.
Her pic carried the following message:
"This is me laying back in my car hiding so I don't have to salute the 1700 flag."
Sheffey must have known the outcry that her outlandish photo would cause, which makes her obstinate next post all the more preposterous:
"KEEP ALL YOUR 'THATS SO DISRESPECTFUL/HOWRUDE/ETC.' COMMENTS TO YOURSELF cuz, right now, IDGAFFFF," she added, under her handle "sheffeynation."
The photo of the private first class soldier – the lowest private in chain of command – and her story were first reported by the Army Times, which was able to capture the photo before it was taken down.
Sheffey is based out of Fort Carson, a United States Army installation located near Colorado Springs, primarily in El Paso County. A Fort Carson spokesman revealed that an investigation into the posting of the image is underway.
Sheffey appeared to offer an apology, sort of, via a video posted to Instagram on Tuesday.
"I seriously just want to say thank you to everybody who stood up to me today, like seriously. That s--t to me was not serious. I am not a disrespectful soldier, and I really appreciate you all," she said.
A group of Army National Guardsmen from Arkansas were also recently in the news for posting a picture of themselves clowning around next to a flag-draped coffin.

World View
In a discussion with a very intelligent authority figure, it came to my attention that if someone were to ask me to present my World View, I couldn't do it in any great detail. Secondly, I haven't even given much thought to this matter. Intuitively, it would seem crucial to know and explain how one experiences, interacts with and organizes his or her reality.
I think this enterprise would consist of several steps.
First, I would look inwards. Like Buddhism teaches, I would observe my thought and behavior in order to uncover patterns and processes. As in science, once you know the laws that govern a subject, you can apply these laws to new inventions and applications.
Second, I would look outwards to experimental, quantitative, qualitative and theoretical research, along with investigations of various belief systems and even works of fiction.
Third, I would ask individuals about the conclusions they've come to in regards to the topic and steps 1 and 2.
This is just an initial and simple sketch of a proposal for the eventual understanding, explication and application of my own World View.

Greenwell is a 596-acre State Park located on the Patuxent River in St. Mary's County, Maryland. In 1971, John Phillip Greenwell, Jr. and his sister, Mary Wallace Greenwell, donated their 166.6 acre farm to the State of Maryland for use as a public park for everyone. The state subsequently purchased the adjacent 430-acre Bond property and joined the two to form the existing park. The park is managed in partnership with The Greenwell Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing outdoor accessible recreation. Pets are allowed in Greenwell State Park.Pets are allowed in Greenwell State Park.
A focal point of the property is Rosedale Manor, circa 1880, which is situated on the shoreline of the Patuxent River. The Manor features a Victorian-style rose garden, a family chapel and a spectacular view of the river. The Manor may be rented for events such as weddings, reunions, meetings and conferences. Event support and planning is available for functions with 50 or fewer guests.Every second Sunday of the month the historic Rosedale Manor House is open to the public for tours from 1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.

is it just me or does the monster doll look like Shirley Temple?
The fat little freak doll is super scary!
i freaked out myself the other day watching creepy dolls on you tube...
A Shirley Temple doll where the only disturbing thing about it is the camera angle, an ugly yard sale doll, and a bunch of photoshop effects on almost every other picture. The Kimono doll is actually a mannequin. Nice try though. The chips and cracks in old dolls are just what happens over time and they were all probably very cute back in their day.
6&7 scary the hell out of me!
#6, as everyone's said, is a Shirley Temple doll. Weird angle and lighting have made it creepy.
#8 actually has a name. He's "Robert the Doll." He is part of an exhibit in Key West. He was owned by a man named Eugene Otto, as a child. When something would happen, young Eugene would exclaim "Robert did it!" Eugene's parents even caught what sounded like young Eugene talking to Robert the Doll & Robert responding (IN A DIFFERENT VOICE). The family's neighbors are even believed to have seen Robert moving in front of the windows of the house when none of the family were home. Its even known that if you visit Robert in the museum & you try to take a picture of him without asking him first, your camera won't work, but if you ask him nicely he'll allow to take his picture.
I personally want to visit Key West & would love to meet Robert the Doll.

Getting Ghostcrawler to directly communicate with the player base was a noble experiment but it failed. His pronouncements were so freighted with meaning from the Blizzard gods that people analysed every choice of word and read into them things that weren't there. They took nerfs as a sign of personal antipathy. He became the scapegoat for every way the game failed to please all the people all of the time.
I have massive respect for the guy, not only for being a developer on an amazing game. But also for keeping his cool when confronted with the raging of a community that, perhaps, engages with Warcraft a bit too passionately. I miss his sarcastic wit on the forums, but it must be hard to joke when you're aware that your words are genuinely going to hurt some people.

The GBI raided homes and businesses in 34 counties, including three in our area.
By Jim Wallace - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) –In all, at least 40 people were arrested and 300 computers seized in what's called Operation Restore Hope.
One of the raids was at an apartment in the Greenbriar complex on Beattie Road in Albany, directly across the street from Deerfield Windsor lower school.
Dougherty County Police and NCIS were also involved in that raid.
The men who live in the apartment haven't been arrested, but officers seized their computers and other evidence.
Because both men work for contractors at MCLB Albany, they plan to look at their work computers as well.
Today's statewide child porn sweep is believed to be the nation's largest, with at least 90 targets.
The GBI says Georgia ranks 5th in the number of devices used to transmit or receive child pornography.

Warp Pile Fabrics- Produced with the Aid of Wires
In these cosntructuions, frequently referred to as positive warp pile, only one kind of weft is required but at least two series of warp threads, separately beamed and tensioned are essential viz. ground ends and pile ends.
The Former produce with the weft the ground cloth from which pile ends project and in which they are anchored.
To produce a pile, a wire is inserted across the width of the warp into a shed formed only by pile ends.
When the pile ends are subsequently dropped into the bottom shed and interlaced with the weft, they remain dropped over wired as shown in A and B.
Thus the cross sectional dimensions of the wire determine the height of the pile.
After the insertion of a number of picks and wires the wire farthest away from the cloth fell is withdrawn leaving the loops. The withdrawn wire is reinserted at the front, there being between 12 to 50 wires between the point of withdrawl and insertion.
The special mechanism which controls the wire and movement is designed to insert the wires rapidly as fast as it takes to insert a pick of weft, and to withdraw it slowly. the large number of wires between the two points is necessary mainly to prevent the loops being pulled back by the tension on the pile yarn.
The pile may be looped, if the plain are used or cut, if the wire has a cutting blade at its tip end.
Both types are produced in exactly the same way and the difference in the nature of the pile is created only upon the withdrawl of the wire, the plain wire leaving in the cloths upon withdrawl of the loops, while the cutting wire cuts the loops as it is withdrawn thus leaving the cut tufts in the cloth.
It will be noted, that the wire is inserted into the special high shed formed by the pile yarn, simultaneously with the shuttle which inserts the weft into a low shed fromed by the ground ends.
The loop pile fabrics in this system of weaving are produced mainly for upholstry purpose and are known as uncut moquettes. The cut pile effect are used for apparel wear, curtaining or upholstries and are known as velvets or plushes.

50 Years Ago This Week, JFK Ushered in Modern Consumer Protection Era
"50 Years Ago This Week, JFK Ushered in Modern Consumer Protection Era"
People of almost any age know a lot about the Kennedy administration with its optimistic beginnings and its sudden, tragic end. Yet many have probably never heard of one of JFK's important legacies -- his declaration that consumers have rights that deserve protection.
Fifty years ago, on March 15, 1962, President Kennedy issued his "Special Message to the Congress on Protecting the Consumer Interest." While his ambitious agenda has not been fully realized, the sweep of his vision bears revisiting.
Kennedy said,
If consumers are offered inferior products, if prices are exorbitant, if drugs are unsafe or worthless, if the consumer is unable to choose on an informed basis, then his dollar is wasted, his health and safety may be threatened, and the national interest suffers.
So, he identified and then called for government action to protect four consumer rights: The right to safety; the right to be informed; the right to choose; and the right to be heard. Other presidents and consumer organizations have added to his work -- proposing rights to consumer education and consumer redress, for example -- but those important additions simply built upon JFK's robust platform.
Kennedy called for enactment of legislation to guarantee the efficacy and safety of prescription drugs and cosmetics because: "Thousands of women have suffered burns and other injuries to the eyes, skin and hair by untested or inadequately tested beauty aids." He called for new food safety rules, which finally passed in 2010.
Above all, Kennedy said, "protection of the public health is not a game."
He called for passage of "truth in lending" legislation to end "serious abuses." He demanded both nutrition and other packaging labeling: "Just as consumers have the right to know what is in their credit contract, so also do they have the right to know what is in the package they buy."
The Kennedy message became a blueprint for a series of important consumer protections that were enacted, many over the next ten or fifteen years, often with the assistance of Consumers Union (founded in 1936) and firepower added by the emergence of the late-sixties Nader's Raiders, the fledgling Consumer Federation of America (1968) and, then, at the local level, the state PIRGs (early 1970s).
The consumer movement whose goals Kennedy's speech helped frame has gone on to win a continued series of achievements. But, it has never been easy. In many ways we are still fighting for the same consumer protections today, because powerful special interests have continued to try to tear them down.
Some federal agencies, notably the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) have repeatedly had their budgets slashed and powers diminished under pressure from powerful special interests.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission established under the administration of Richard Nixon was gutted and left for dead under the Reagan administration. Only the 2007 tsunami of lead-laden toys and other toxic products washing up on our shores from China gave Congress the impetus to reinvigorate the CPSC with 2008 passage of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act.
Today, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce seeks legislation creating regulatory mazes designed to prevent the watchdogs from doing their jobs. Proposals including the Regulatory Accountability Act and the Regulations from the Executive In Need of Scrutiny (REINS) Act have bi-partisan support in both the House and the Senate. A so-called Jobs Act that has overwhelmingly passed the House would make it easy for fraudsters to rip off small or novice investors.
Yet, there have been victories, even though some are slow in coming. In the 1970s, a campaign to establish a federal consumer agency ended in defeat. But thirty years later, after the Wall Street-led collapse of the economy, neither the Chamber nor the American Bankers Association could stop establishment of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in the 2010 Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
The new CFPB, in many ways, is the first federal agency that fully achieves President Kennedy's vision. It is designed to do what he called for 50 years ago: stop the "serious abuses [that] have occurred" in the credit marketplace, "make available to consumers the results of pertinent government research" and solve the myriad "failure[s] of governmental machinery to assure specific consideration of the consumer's needs and point of view."
The CFPB is the first federal financial agency with only one job, protecting consumers. It's the first federal consumer agency with the authority and independence it needs to do that job.
Of course, powerful special interests have the CFPB in their sights. But the CFPB has both the public's and President Obama's full support.
As President Kennedy said fifty years ago, consumer protection "is not a game." While we haven't yet achieved all of President Kennedy's ambitious agenda "to make certain that our Nation's economy fairly and adequately serves consumers' interests," it's a cause worth fighting for -- for another fifty years, if that's what it takes.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - Louisiana gambling regulators are taking
applications for the state's last riverboat casino license.
State law limits the number of casino riverboats to 15. The
license came open when Las Vegas-based Pinnacle Entertaiment Inc.
scrapped plans for a second casino-hotel project in Lake Charles
and returned the license to the state.
Louisiana Gaming Control Board Chairman Dane Morgan said
Wednesday that the board decided to open a formal application
period that ends Sept. 23. That came after the board received
expression of interest from three possible operators.

Translator English to Spanish / Spanish to English,
This conversation is closed.
Is it always possible to be honest and polite at the same time?
One could argue that honesty and politeness are mutually exclusive in certain circumstances, especially when you are pressed to share your opinion on a particular subject/person. We all know that sometimes the truth hurts (or at least, "your truth").
Some people may think that the only way to get along with everybody is by not being completely honest (or by downright lying) and compliment them, as this way they would then think highly of you.
It's also curious that we tend to like the people we agree with more than the ones we disagree with. Certainly, It's really difficult to make friends with somebody who disagrees with you on almost every matter (even if on trivialities), which is a shame, as this person could be a potential friend full of love, generosity and good advice.
Are we living in a fake society where honest people are being penalized for sharing his true feelings/opinions?
Where is the line between honesty and rudeness? Is it fair to be untrue to your feelings for the sake of good manners? Are there some truths that should never be told?
What do you think?

Feb 6 2013: Yes, I have always found a way to stay polite and courteous, even in the most challenging of situations...but perhaps this is because it has always been a high priority for me? It matters a great deal to me..I am extremely upset by rudeness, and therefore I speak as I would be spoken to.
If it is a question of taste, or belief, and I really cannot agree, and feel it is a matter of principle where I cannot be untrue to this principle...I find a way to say nothing, say something obliquely ( for example regarding a painting ..'that is such a strong green, it is just like the grass in spring ' etc), or say something general that is non-judgemental.
I would take the point of view that if someone is 'a truth-seeker', for want of a better phrase - if they are open to learning more about what is, then they will find it, will hear it, eventually. Contrary wise, if they do not wish to hear another side of truth, they will not, whatever is said.
That is why I believe in being quiet at times.
A simple example : many years ago, a friend asked me what I thought of his new name for his band. I didn't like ...but then it wasn't my band, or my idea. I said nothing, and tried to find a polite comment.. But before I could, he said immediately, ' I can see from your face you don't like it at all!'
However, he still used it, and the first song he wrote under the name was about something I said (about Love).... the song became famous, and is still a classic.
So I feel by being polite and honest together, something good was achieved, - his respect for me.

Act No. 18 Year 2012 on Food emphasizes the duty of the state to realize the availability, affordability, and fulfilment of adequate, safe, quality, and nutritionally balanced food consumption, both at national and regional as well as individual levels, and evenly sustainable across the country. Every citizen has the right for fair, equitable, and sustainable food fulfilment based on Food Sovereignty, Food Independence, and Food Security. The clause indicates that compliance with food is part of Indonesian citizens' rights which is guaranteed in the 1945 Constitution.
In line with this, Presidential Regulation No. 26 Year 2012 on the National Logistics System (Sislognas) as an effort to boost the nation's competitiveness on produced food-related goods or commodities and to ensure the right to food evenly has also endorsed.
There are three main things that need to be focused on food management, namely: (1) food availability based on optimal utilization of local resources; (2) food affordability from physical and economical aspects of the entire population; and (3) food and nutrition use or consumption for healthy, active, and productive living. In terms of physical affordability, condition of infrastructure/facility becomes an important key support aspect for the success of food management.
However, the condition of facilities and infrastructure in Indonesia is still characterized by low accessibility, quality, or scope of services. Inequality of infrastructure conditions between western and eastern Indonesian region also becomes a significant obstacle to the implementation of food management. The existing facilities and infrastructure have not been fully able to be the backbone to support government's measures to achieve food sovereignty.
In response, PUSTRAL-UGM held a SYNERGIA 2014 discussion with the theme of "Logistics System for competitiveness and food sovereignty". This activity aimed to: (1) obtain an overview on challenges and strategies of policy implementation in order to realize national food sovereignty; (2) to discuss constraints and challenges of infrastructure development and logistics transportation services to support the realization of competitive national logistics system that is capable of supporting the creation of national food sovereignty; and (3) finding a solution to overcome various obstacles encountered.
The discussion activity in SYNERGIA 2014 involved policy makers from related Ministries /Institutions, associations, industry, practitioners, and academics. There were 200 participants involved in the discussion. The speakers at this event are: Dr. Kuncoro Harto Widodo (Director of PUSTRAL-UGM), Prof. Dr. Robert de Souza (Executive Director for The Logistics Institute – Asia Pacific, NUS), Ir. Saut Parulian Hutagalung, M.Sc. (Deputy Minister of Marine and Fisheries), Dr. Beni Rachman (Head of Food Sovereignty), Zaldi Masita (President of ALI – Indonesian Logistics Association), Poltak Ambarita (PDN Director General, Ministry of Commerce) and Dr. M. Pramono Hadi (PUSTRAL-UGM) as the moderator. The event was opened by the Rector of Universitas Gadjah Mada, Prof. Pratikno, while the keynote speech was delivered by Mr. Edi Putra Irawady (Deputy for coordination of commercial and entrepreneurial, CMEA)
Logistics is interpreted not merely as an item, but a series of activities process of procurement, storage and distribution of goods and equipment through an effective organization networks. This process requires system clarity and good infrastructure support. In the context of disaster, logistics and supply chain management is one of the most important aspects and factors for successful disaster management and handling. In contrast to commercial logistics, humanitarian logistics aims to help victims of disasters such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods and tsunami to maximize humanity values. Humanitarian logistics must be able to ensure that materials and equipments are acceptable to the victims not only in good condition but can be distributed on time at the right targets. Humanitarian logistics also need to guarantee smooth running of information so that all parties can communicate easily and support the planning and implementation of policies related to procurement, storage and distribution of goods and equipments.
PUSTRAL-UGM in cooperation with Kuehne Foundation-NUS Education Center for Humanitarian Logistics Asia Pacific, Singapore, and the Singapore Institute for Materials Management (SIMM) organized a certificated training entitled Certificate in Humanitarian Logistics Management at the University Club of UGM on 25-28 March 2014. This training was addressed to government agencies that deal with disasters (BPBDs), humanitarian and academic institutions in disaster areas. The event was also attended by Deputy II of Presidential Work Unit for Development Monitoring and Control (UKP4) Mr. Arie Mohammad Hanief Setianto.
The training activity was attended by 40 participants from Government (BPBDs), NGOs, humanitarian agencies, academics and research centers. The trainers were Dr. Robert de Souza, Dr. Lindawati (The Logistics Institute Asia Pacific Singapore NUS), Dr. Jasni Hambali (SIMM), Temmy Tanubrata (Director of PT. Khalifa Jaya Utama), and Iwan Agriawan (Senior Researcher PUSTRAL-UGM)
National Logistics System (Sislognas) issued by the government as a Presidential Decree (Decree) No. 26 The year 2012 is one of the instruments developed by the government in supporting the improvement of Indonesia competitiveness in ASEAN free trade in 2015 and public welfare. The National Logistics System blueprint classifies Batubara Regency as a special economic zone area. This classification is given since Batubara Regency has a Port which is planned to be an International Hub Port, the Port of Kuala Tanjung.
Responding to this issue, the Commission C of Batubara Regency's Regional House of Representative which is responsible for people welfare, one of which covers the areas of education, plans to increase the quality of human resources of Batubara Regency through education, particularly in the area of logistics. It is intended to prepare local human resources to implement the National Logistics System (Sislognas) plan. Visit to PUSTRAL-UGM aimed to discuss the possibility of introducing logistics into the curriculum of vocational school. Deputy Chiefs of PUSTRAL UGM, Mr. Arif Wismadi and Mr. Pramono Hadi hosted the visit.
At 2012 PUSTRAL UGM involved in the feasibility study and master plan formulation for new airport in Yogyakarta, in cooperation with Landrum and Brown Australia with client GVK Airport, India. Adisutjipto Airport, the existing airport of Yogyakarta has been over capacity for years and not able to maintain good service for the fast growing air traffic in this region. Surrounded by houses, short runway, there are no more space for development in this airport. Also there are raising questions about the safety aspect of this airport with the presence of natural obstacles (mountain) and no space buffer at both runway ends. Another constraint is the fact that this airport is belong to air force that serve as base and flying school. All of those constraint leave this airport with very limited capacity.
After selection process, it was recommended that location of new airport will be at Kulon Progo Regency, about 35 km west of Yogyakarta City. The new airport is expected be able to handle big capacity (could reach 24 million passenger per year at 30 years time) both at land side capacity or air side capacity. The new airport is expected also within one hour travel (or less) from nearest city, by provision of good road and railway access. The airport is designed to handle large domestic traffic using B737/A320 family aircraft's, while also able to handle the large aircraft to directly flying to Dubai or Jeddah (for Haj purpose). An airport city complex will also be provided. This airport will be developed using PPP scheme, may the first one in the sector. Indonesia does not have many experiences in using PPP scheme for infrastructure except for toll road and water.
PUSTRAL UGM also involved is the other option for air transportation access to this region by possibility to combine the Adisutjipto Airport of Yogyakarta with Adi Soemarmo Airport of Solo, about 60 km to east. The Adi Soemarmo Airport also managed by military. The train is used to connect these two airports. Unfortunately, combining of both airports still not able to handle the projected air traffic in this region.
Currently PUSTRAL UGM works in a team led by PT. Asana Wirasta Setia (private consultant base in Jakarta) in preparation of new airport development in South Banten, Banten Province. This new airport is located at Pandeglang Regency, south Banten. According to Ministry Decree No 433/2010, the airport plans to handle 12 million passenger for next 20 years with runway able to handle the wide body aircraft's. The team works to prepare the strategic first stage development because the transportation ministry expected the development of this airport will be by private money, very different from usual project that use public money in airport development. At first stage, this airport also mainly for tourism to attract visitors to come to the famous Ujung Kulon and Tanjung Lesung resort area.
In line with the increase of population and changes in consumption patterns and life-style of Indonesian people, there is an increasing need of beef. Currently, the need of beef in Indonesia has been fulfilled through various ways, such as from local farm as well as imports of life cattle and beef.
Currently, Indonesian beef consumption reaches 1.7 kg per capita per year or equal to 1.75 to 2.0 million of life cattle (Directorate General of Husbandry, 2008) and Indonesia can only meet approximately 70% of the need, the rest (30%) is obtained from imports. Referring to the livestock statistics (2010), it is known that the export of beef reached 735 tonnes, while the import reached 77,412 tonnes. It means that Indonesia is still facing a demand gap of beef. Under these conditions, it is critical to fill that demand gap by increasing the supply of domestic beef. Areas which have the potential to be beef supplier and have a surplus tendency can be encouraged to fill the gap, particularly for Java area.
Guaranteeing beef supply is a challenge for beef supply chain management. With the limited capabilities of Java to produce cattle to meet the needs of consumers in Java, it is necessary to find other areas in Indonesia as a potential source of local cattle producers to fill the demand gap. Bali, NTT and NTB are the potential provinces to be prospective cattle producers compared to other provinces in Indonesia. Based on the ratio of cow number in comparison to the population, Bali, NTT, and NTB provinces currently have the highest ratio of availability.
This study aims to identify some of the following key points:
a. locations of production centres of beef cattle in NTB and NTT provinces;
b. marketing channels and distribution systems from farmers to interisland traders and marketing channels in consumption areas (especially Jakarta and its surroundings);
c. the most efficient logistics cost from production areas to consumption areas;
d. the most efficient model or systems of beef distribution from producer areas to consumer areas (Jakarta and its surroundings); and
e. kinds of logistics infrastructure needed to be developed to support effective and efficient beef supply chain.
National Logistics System (Sislognas) issued by the government as a Presidential Decree (Decree) No. 26 Year 2012 is one of instruments developed by the government to improve the competitiveness of Indonesia in ASEAN free trade in 2015 and public welfare. Logistics performance improvement, labour market increase, and professionalism improvement in logistics sector are major issue in Sislognas Agenda. Almost in line with this, the Dutch government has launched Top Logistics Sector program in which Dinalog is established. Dinalog initiates applied researches which put academic knowledge as an innovation engine in Dutch companies to compete internationally. On the other hand, universities in the Netherlands, especially those which have strong concern on applied sciences want to improve their quality of education, and graduates as well as creating more practical, integrated and internationally scaled education and research activities,. Similarly, universities in Indonesia are always trying to meet community needs (private and government) by creating a balance between supply and demand in labour market. The biggest challenge faced is developing an employment-market-oriented education and applied research activities.
Committing to take a contribution in supporting the national programs of both countries (and Sislognas Top Logistics sector) and fulfilling universities needs, a consortium called Living Lab Logistics Indonesia (LLLI)-Netherlands is being developed by a number of universities in Netherlands and Indonesia by involving partners from government and private companies in both countries. The initiative is taken by NUFFIC (Netherlands international cooperation institutions of higher education) and Dinalog. The concept of Triple Helix cooperation (academia, industry and government) will facilitate the exchange of best practices in education, research for industry and labour market relevance in the field of logistics.
A series of activities have been carried out in the initiative. The most recent agenda is Week of LLLI which is held at partner universities in Indonesia. Following the events in Jakarta, Bandung and Surabaya, similar activities have been carried out at the University of Gadjah Mada on 19 April 2013 at the Center for Transportation and Logistics (PUSTRAL). The activity was attended by representatives from Trisakti University, Institute of Technology Bandung, Sepuluh November Institute of Technology, NUFFIC and Netherlands universities involved in the LLLI consortium that is HAN University of Applied Science, NHTV Breda University of Applied Science, and Rotterdam University. The meeting was also attended by several private companies that have been actively involved in this consortium that is Pelindo-2 (Indonesia Port Company-IPC), Samudera Indonesia and Witteveen+ Bos Netherlands
During the activity, the initiators of the consortium signed an agreement concerning student exchange, internship and promotion activities as well as organization and governance of LLLI.
Definition and understanding of 'logistics' term vary among persons. In the context of disaster management, particularly, misunderstanding frequently happens. Indeed, understanding the concept of logistics becomes determining factor for the success of disaster management and mitigation. This fact has encouraged the Center for Transportation and Logistics Studies (PUSTRAL) Universitas Gadjah Mada to organize a seminar on Humanitarian Logistics and Disaster Management in Indonesia. The seminar had been organized on March 19, 2013 in Wisma Kagama UGM.
Dr. Kuncoro Harto Widodo, Director of PUSTRAL, underlined that in-depth understanding and insight on humanitarian logistics were very important for humanitarian employees working in government bodies such as BNPB and BPBD, NGOs, academic institutions, or private organizations. "This seminar discuss about experiences, challenges and potentials of the humanitarian logistics development in Indonesia", Dr. Kuncoro said.
In his opening speech, Vice Rector for Research and Community Service Affairs, Prof. Dr. Suratman, welcomed and appreciated the organization of the seminar which was a collaboration between PUSTRAL-UGM and Kuehne Foundation-NUS Education Center for Humanitarian Logistics Asia Pacific, Singapore, Master Program on Management of Infrastructure and Community Development (MICD) UGM, and PT. Satas Transportindo International. "This seminar is important and real contribution of UGM and the embodiment of main responsibility of study centers in UGM which should always be critical through research activity and take smart initiative to solve national and humanitarian problems", Prof. Suratman said. He also emphasized the important of multi-sector collaboration in coping with the challenges and solving a problem. "Higher education institution is an agent of change which shall be able to bridge collaboration of various sectors, government, community and private sectors" he continued.
The seminar had invited Mr. Sunardi, M.Sc (Director of Logistics, BNPB); Prof. Dr. Sunyoto Usman (Academics and Member of Board of Researcher, PUSTRAL-UGM); Mr. Frans Toegimin (Coordinator of Yogyakarta Disaster Risk Reduction Forum); Mrs. Siti Ariyanti (Director of PT. Satas Transportindo International); and Jonas Stumpf (Program Director of Kuehne Foundation-NUS Education Center for Humanitarian Logistics Asia Pacific). Participants, coming from government institution, NGOs, university, humanitarian organization, and private, were very enthusiastic to participate in the seminar.

This comes at a time when bad news for the newspaper industry is the norm versus the exception. As advertising continues to drop and circulation continues to decline, newspapers are finding it harder to stay in business.
It comes to no surprise to the Marketing Pilgrim community that, one of the few areas in the newspaper industry that is showing significant gains is the transition to online media. By moving regular print media to the internet many companies are seeing expanded profits in new advertising models that can't be replicated in their print counter parts.
If media companies want to continue to offer the news as a central product then they must begin to invest heavily in open online news distribution. Otherwise they can continue to watch everything shrink: advertising, subscribers, and profits.

Come On Home...
(disclaimer; This character does not belong to me he is APH Russia with a few twists.)
Ivan Braginsky is a ghost. He represents Imperial Russia and the culture during that time period. He usually appears to be modern, though it's only so he can make an attempt to fit in. He is rather strange in personality; quiet, reserved, though when one gets to know him one sees how different he truly is. He loves music and preservation of culture, obviously, and he's very old fashioned when it comes to women. The Russian loves women, he can't get enough attention from them, but he isn't even close to being a 'ladies man'. He has trouble attracting women and they often find him a little scary because he's about 6'2'', not to mention, he's also a ghost. I imagine that would put a woman off when she first heard about it.
~Options with Ivan include the general ghost option where the roleplay will take place whenever you want it to be (given that it is after 1917) and he will be a ghost. The other way things can go is if it's historical and Ivan is himself, a member of the royal court blah blah blah those are really frilly. I also have some starters that you might want to do, one is based on Beauty and the Beast; just ask me
...and don't forget to leave.

NBC's Bob Costas says he will use the Opening Ceremonies of the London Olympics to "call out" the International Olympic Committee for its refusal to declare a moment of silence to honor Israeli athletes who were murdered at the Munich games 40 years ago.
Costas, who will be the lead announcer for the London Games, told the Hollywood Reporter that the IOC's refusal to honor a request by Israel's Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon is "baffling" and he intends to take a stand during the Opening Ceremonies on July 27.
Said Costas:
"I intend to note that the IOC denied the request. Many people find that denial more than puzzling but insensitive. Here's a minute of silence right now."
In denying the request, IOC President Jacques Rogge said the Olympic committee has honored the Munich victims on several occasions in the past but would not do so in London.
The widow of one of the Munich victims told USA Today that the decision was more than baffling.
"I have to call the baby by its name," said Ankie Spitzer, whose husband coached the Israeli fencing team. "The IOC's refusal is pure discrimination. … greed and anti-Semitism."
On Sept. 4, 1972, the Black September terrorist group, demanding the release of Palestinians from Israeli jails, kidnapped 11 members of the Israeli Olympic team, killing two of them in the process. The nine others were killed by the kidnappers during a rescue attempt by German troops.

Costas, if you have political statements to make, join one of the news shows. Keep politics out of the Olympics!

CFA puts too much sugar in their breading. The fries and slaw are outstanding.
I would like to know how Mr. Cathy's kids feel about their father and grandfather's open hate towards gay people. I'm sure his future grandchildren will be ashamed of them.
July 20th, 2012
1:58 pm
Dog dad: 146 PM I suggest you look up "martyr" in the dictionary.
From the free dictionary (TFD.com) martyr: a person who suffers greatly or dies for a cause, belief, etc.
I would say the Israeli athletes died as a result of their belief in a free Israel, representing what was best in their country.
I suggest you get a better dictionary and stop trying to be so politically correct.
July 20th, 2012
1:59 pm
I don't understand how remember 11 dead athletes could be considered political. Oh, wait, if they do it the Arab countries will raise a fuss and refuse to march in the opening ceremonies. At that point, who's making it political? I thought so.
July 20th, 2012
2:04 pm
Is it possible to condemn someone's behavior without hating them?
I sure hope so. Otherwise I hate folk who litter, gluttonous people (be it money, french fries, alcohol, smokes, whatever). I question Mr. Cathy's decision from a business standpoint, but I do know enough about him to feel very confident he doesn't "hate homosexuals". Sorry libs, you don't own that word.
Do you hate everybody that you disagree with?
July 20th, 2012
2:06 pm
As I sit here munching on a Chick-fil-A sandwich, I had a few thoughts. I don't think the IOC's response is anti-Semitic, it is just another attempt by that group to cover up anything they believe will tarnish their "pristine" image. These fools could give FIFA or the US congress a run for their money when it comes to corruption. We have the various scandals of members selling their votes for host cities (including for the Atlanta games). As some other people have noted, these guys were real jerks during the Atlanta olympics. I'm sure their actions here were not unique.
However, I really hate Bob Costas. Perhaps he will become involved in a scandal with the men's gymnastics team from Alybaba and the IOC will be unable to cover it up. Eat more chicken!!!!

"This strikes me as Israel trying to use the memories of those athletes to score modern political points. Not what the Games are about. "
Right. Do you have the same feeling when the circumstances of Jesse Owens accomplishements are recalled? For what purpose is that done? Or the Mexico City medal stand protest, which has been discussed in the MSM recently? I could keep going.
Fact is, Israeli athletes were abducted from the Olympic site and murdered or killed due to circumstances related to their abduction. They SHOULD be memorialized at the anniversary of this sordid crime, regardless of the underlying politics. If they were Russian, East German, North Vietnamese, North Korean or Muslim fundamentalist athletes I'd have the same exact opinion.

Who should we remember more, those foreign Olympians murdered on foreign soil or the millions of American chickens murdered for profit on American soil by the Cathy family and their 4 Billion dollar a year business? who speaks for the chickens? I ask who speaks for the chickens!!!!

What does Chik fil a have to do with the subject matter? You idiots lost me on this.

well, they have tasty chicken sandwiches and Bob Costas is the U.S. broadcaster for the Olympics. How do you not see the correlation?
July 20th, 2012
2:23 pm
Most of my Gay friends never pay attention to headlines like Chick-Fil-A's stance on Gay marriage.Usually,they are absorbed with their own family or career, trying to make a better life. The only people that continually seem to get twisted on the subject are hetrosexuals.
Bucky… Gluttony is a sin too.
July 20th, 2012
2:26 pm
Bob Costas makes watching the games a terrible experience. All he does is go on and on about how each country sucks as their athletes enter the stadium. Glad I've arranged to get a feed from the BBC so I won't have to listen to Bob Costas' verbal diarrhea.

July 20th, 2012
2:39 pm
Costas gets paid to report the Olympics, not to become the news himself. Shame on him.
Similarly, Chic Fil A sells chicken sandwiches, so the corporate positions in sociology and politics are completely irrelevant. Why even go there?
July 20th, 2012
2:43 pm
It's been 40 years. It was a terrible act. The people are dead. Let it go. The Israelis like to milk the victimhood thing to insulate them from their own aggressive actions and policies. In this case, the IOC reached the correct decision to not give them a stage.
July 20th, 2012
2:53 pm
I guess Bob should take a stand and honor the people killed at the Atlanta Olympics as well. Every year is an anniversary of that tragedy, too. What is the significance of 40 years anyway?
July 20th, 2012

Um, how is a moment of silence a POLITICAL statement? Seriously: Some people have two brain cells, and it's clear they don't get along.

I was raised to believe that Israel was the ultimate 'good guy' on the world stage and Hitler's Germany was pure evil. While the latter holds true, the former does not!
In many ways Israel is treating the Palestinians as badly as Hitler did them! And it wasn't until I was older that I learned that the Jewish religion was based on RACE? That is disgusting, pure bigotry, and in fact HITLERIAN! And too, the idea of a nation of citizens of the same race is vulgar, hateful and Hitlerian!

We should also then honor the woman who was killed here in Atlanta at Centennial Olympic Park, right?
July 20th, 2012
3:15 pm
I'm all for supporting Israel but give me an F'ing break. Costas is a moron just trying to get back into the mainstream again.
If the Olympics were being held in Munich then I'd say he has a point.
Hey Bob… STFU.

@BravesFan79, if homosexuality bothers you that much, you should be all for gay marriage since most husbands can tell you that sex pretty much stops after marriage.

On the plus side, homophobic morons like "Bucky" will get type 2 diabetes about 33% faster now. Something most of us can agree on here, maybe?
July 20th, 2012
3:19 pm
Bob Costas is way to full of himself…….something is very wrong and disturbing when a reporter feels he can take center stage and voice his personal opinion (weather we agree or not) on a stage as big as this. He should be fired.

Bucky – I've got one word for you = latent.

IMO the IOC should observe a moment of silence to honor for the murdered athletics. Sadly the IOC is bowing to politically correctness not insult moolims!

AJC, you should be ashamed for allowing some of these comments to be published on your website. Who's job to screen these? A writer or editor should be reigned in and taught about respect, civility and common sense. It is 2012 and this still persists. AJC, shame on you. Shame.

Truet Cathy is a grate American and Christan. Its his business he should be able t2 do N E thing he wants. Its sicening 2 see 2 men hugging in pubic 4 ever 2 see.

To truly understand why anti-semitism exists you must first understand semitism and the history of semitism both in Europe and the Middle East.

Yeah, you're just another fat southern bigot
hope you choke on your chicken

"Bob Costas should stick to baseball and keep his political statements to himself," so says "Bucky." It's interesting how some folks will stick up for the First Amendment until somebody says something they don't like. Note to AJC, my former employer. Stop allowing people to post comments under pseudonyms. People will say anything from behind a mask. If you can't say something without having your name attached to it, it probably isn't worth saying, or publishing.

reading kev and cancer breath makes me happy for freedom of speech..it's occassionally annoying but necessary. Cancer breath.in particular is a good example of the significant percentage of US citizens with significant mental illness:2-5%.
If you disagree, you HATE! simply stupid rational, as for who speaks for the chickens, I do , now cluck off. you gotta love the carrot salad and sooooo healthy. "It's been a pleasure" educating all of you …..

I don't really care about whether CHICK-FIL-A opposes what Larry Sinclair and Barry 0bama do together (allegedly).
All I really care about is his sandwiches, but at least Mr. Cathy can rest easy knowing he won't ever die from STDs, get divorced from another dude or have his soul burn in eternal fire afterwards.
Extra Pickles on my Sandwich, please!

These topics tend to bring out some real morons, who actually think that there exist Jews that oppress Arabs.
Right–they oppress Arabs by violently inflicting civil rights on them, just as Jews have done to Americans.
The IOC countries, and the US too, have been lying for Arabs for years. Read the 'British Record on Partition' and learn the truth: Zionism is anti-imperialism today just as it was back then.
July 20th, 2012
4:57 pm
I guess I'm curious, Bucky… It's OK for you to appreciate Cathy's remarks about homosexuality but Costas is not allowed to make any remarks about Jews being murdered at the Olympics? Strange set of values you have! Seems if one person is allowed to have Freedom of Speech the other one should be allowed to also….
July 20th, 2012
5:09 pm
The level of ignorance on the board is staggering today. Jews = a Race? Thought it was a religion. Better get into all those schools around the world and change the names from religion to race. So there are four major religions and one major race? And the references to Hitler are more than a bit stupid. Hitler was extremely atheistic, thinking all religions should be eliminated. In leftist societies such as fascist Germany, the only religion allowed is the religion of the state. The state is the center and reason for all being and it is your responsibility as a citizen to meld yourself to its call…sound kind of familiar in today's world here in the US? We are much closer to fascism here than you think and have had at least a couple fascist regimes already under Presidents Wilson and Roosevelt (FDR). Read your history.
Palestine, as an entity, should never be allowed in the Olympics without apologizing for the actions of those who killed the Israeli athletes. That's pretty simple.
Hard to believe the IOC can't dedicate one minute in honor of the darkest hour in the history of the Olympics? Guess they are too busy trying to make a buck every second.

ncgreybr @ 4:57 pm,
"Bucky" said he/she would listen to Mr. Costas & his political view *IF* he could provide food of comparable quality to CHICK-FIL-A.
That selective perceptive and basic reading comprehension can be humiliating, can't they, ncgreybr ?
July 20th, 2012
5:27 pm
Hmmm, the terrorists used the Olympics to make a political statement by killing athletes. So asking for those killed to be remembered at the Olympics by a moment of silence is a problem. I guess the IOC recognizing a country named 'Palestine' where it doesn't exist isn't a political statement either.
July 20th, 2012
5:29 pm
Rob said, "Look at the employees that work for chick fil A, then look at the thugs that work for Mcdonalds…. I will continue to buy Chick Fil A until the cows come home!!!…."
A more accurate statement has never appeared on this Web site. Now, not sure what it has to do with the Olympics, but dead on none the less.
