The downtown L.A. skyline in 1951, 1979 and 2014. Our image specialist Scott Harrison found the unpublished 1979 negative and decided to match it from the same spot: the top of City Hall. He added a photo from 1951 for comparison.
"Also of interest," he writes, "the 1951 photo was shot on 4 x 5 sheet film, the 1979 photo on 35 mm film and the current photo on an iPhone."

California has broken a drought record this year, but it's not the first time the state has been parched. Here's a look at some drought photos from years past.

"Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb" was released 50 years ago this week. The film is regarded as a cinematic masterpiece today (AFI ranked it No. 39 in its' 10th anniversary Top 100 in 2007), but in February 1964, Times' film editor Philip K. Scheuer didn't find much to like. I'm partial to the deadpan of the subheadline: "Kubrick's 'Satire' Tells All About End of World, Ha Ha." But this is a great line too:
… a publicist at Columbia, which is distributing the picture, assured me it would be my "cup of tea." After suffering through two screenings of "Dr. Strangelove," I would sooner drink hemlock.
Scheuer issues no spoiler alerts while giving away the ending and laments that "[a]ll members of our armed forces are pictured as either utterly unscrupulous or just plain stupid."
And then he makes a point that is rather jarring to a reader in today's era of the antihero.
Is all this necessary? I submit that, as with "[It's a Mad, Mad, Mad,] Mad World," villains are not funny per se — especially when there are no good guys around to offset them.
Scheuer doesn't spare the actors either.
Peter Sellers plays three parts, all in widely disparate make-up: the President, an RAF exchange officer and Dr. Strangelove, a Nazi fanatic employed as our top nuclear scientist. His bumbling Briton comes through; the others are, with all due respect to his talent for mimicry, simply preposterous. George C. Scott (I have never seen him give a bad performance till now) makes the staff chairman — Gen. Buck Turgidson — a mugging, stomach-scratching, gum-chewing vulgarian.
That's Peter Sellers above, later in 1964. He'd had a heart attack and was photographed leaving the hospital with his wife.

A tiny, retro run-in with the law
From a 1970 story we ran on some highly restrictive anti-motorbike measures that brought an 11-year-old boy at odds with the law:
Randy West, 11, took it like a man Wednesday – his first brush with the law and the news that his favorite minibike trails were off limits.
The sandy-haired youngster was one of the first to receive a warning citation from police as the result of a new ordinance which places virtually insurmountable restrictions on use of private property for motorcycle or minibike riding in the city.
"If it's the law, you gotta obey it," said Randy moments after receiving the warning citation for riding his minibike on a popular trail between Huntington Center and the San Diego Freeway.

Los Angeles is built on top of a lost city of Lizard People
Or at least, that's how the theory goes. G. Warren Shufelt, an earnest engineer believed early last century that L.A. had been constructed on the same grounds as an ancient Lizard People stronghold, as mapped out above.
From our 1934 story on the bizarre belief:
Busy Los Angeles, although little realizing it in the hustle and bustle of modern existence, stands above a lost city of catacombs filled with incalculable treasure and imperishable records of a race of humans further advanced intellectually and scientifically than even the highest type of present day peoples, in the belief of G. Warren Shufelt, geophysical mining engineer now engaged in an attempt to wrest from the lost city deep in the earth below Fort Moore Hill the secrets of the Lizard People of legendary fame in the medicine lodges of the American Indian.

This Throwback Thursday, we're taking you back in time at the happiest place on earth. Yes, we've dug into our archives and found some old Disneyland photos, including some of Walt Disney himself (seen in the middle photo inspecting plastic heads for a "Pirates of the Caribbean" addition to the park) and then-Vice President Richard Nixon (shaking hands with a man in a spacesuit in the bottom photo).
But perhaps the sweetest and most surprising story is behind the top photo. It's of 14-year-old Jong Sook Kim visiting Disneyland in 1964. She was from South Korea and was in America to get surgery on her eyes — doctors once thought she'd never see again. After the operation in San Francisco, she went to see Disneyland with her newly restored sight.

A not-so-beloved Bob Dylan
Dylan's always been deemed a musical hero by many for his groundbreaking songs, but critics weren't exactly kind during his 1978 tour that brought him to the Inglewood Forum:
Dylan, the most stimulating American songwriter of the rock era, has been ripped repeatedly by critics during a U.S. tour that began last summer at the Universal Amphitheater.
Disturbed both by the singer's looser stage manner and his sometimes drastically revised arrangements, reviewers have accused the '60s folk-rock legend of trying desperately to catch up with the '70s by polishing up his act.
And, it's true: Dylan has changed. This Forum show was far from the urgency and drive of his 1974 appearances at the same arena with the Band…

The hairy, mysterious "Jungle Boy"
Above is a photo of the 1950s-era wrestler known as "Jungle Boy," vividly introduced by reporter Don Snyder:
The night has a thousand eyes. They glow like burning coals full of hate, blood, vinegar, old lemon juice and cigar smog. From their darkened sanctuaries they peer maliciously at the snarling figure before them.
For out there, on the white square where central lights beam down on the rope-caged canvas lurks the hairy horror. He is Jungle Boy, wrestler at large.
Small children sneer at him. Big men jeer at him. Medium-sized women leer at him. All other sized fans sneer, jeer and leer at him simultaneously.
It is one madhouse of screams inside the Olympic emporium. It is so noisy the barking crackerjacks man cannot put over his bargains.
The photo eventually won first place in an Associated Press contest for California and Nevada, but despite the acclaim, Jungle Boy's identity remains unknown.

Bringing attention sexual abuse through photography
A master of documentary photography, Mariella Furrer has dedicated much of her career to placing the spotlight on the tragedy of child sexual abuse.
A victim of abuse herself, Furrer recently opened up with photographer Barbara Davidson:
The molestation could not have lasted more than a couple of minutes, but the incident affected my life in ways that are difficult to articulate. As a 5-year-old, I don't think you really understand that you have lost something when you are abused. Yet you have; something does change.
You lose your childhood really, your innocence is snatched away, and what little is left of that once-pure child is now transformed into a sexual being, a child with a knowledge of things way before her time.

i-road concept
We've seen plenty of three-wheeled creations in our day, but none quite like the Toyota i-Road Concept. The "personal mobility vehicle" offers seating for two with driver and passenger positioned in a tandem position. While that may sound more like a motorcycle than a car, the closed cockpit ...
According to Toyota, the "i-ROAD takes the company closer to its goal of creating the ultimate range of eco cars." As you're surely aware, that range of eco cars includes the enormously successful Prius family, but this new machine is nothing like the hybrid hatchback. And it's not even a car ...

PSU making a lot of noise
I have Thermaltake Toughpower 800W PSU! Its fan makes really loud noise when playing PC games! I tried to oil the fan like I did with my CPU fan, but I could not get to PSU fan without opening the PSU itself! Should I open it? Or maybe there is another way to fix this!

You can change PSU fans, but it is not a job for amateurs.
Thermaltake power supplies are not known for being quiet as they ramp up.
|My System Specs

I just removed the side plate of my PC tower! It reduced the noise by 60%! With the case open my PC doesnt heat up that much anymore!
|My System Specs

But that could suck up more dust into your pc. Try adding more aux fans for airflow. That might help your pc temp problems and you might not need to open the case anymore.
|My System Specs
|09 Feb 2012
I'm quite curious what Chassie you are using.
Are you sure that the chassie is large enought to allow a good airflow?
Also I just have to question this looking at your spec's What do you need a 800W PSU for?
Also do your chassie have any more slots for intake fans?
Are your PSU taking air from inside the chassie or from the outside?
Are the PSU mounted at the top or the buttom.
|My System Specs

Once a fan creates more noise, it should be considered near to getting damaged. (except a noise coming from a variable speed drive). Its possible to put some silicon grease/oil on it to have it work for some extended period. But since some of the PSU electronic components running with power dissipation then a lot of heat are produced (that is why PSU always have fan in it, not just to ventilate the case). In case of fan damage or running slower, the heat accumulation is potentially higher and will definitely start damaging the component.
Have it replaced with new fan is a good choice to take.

I would blow out that PSU with compressed air and do what you can to clean the fan blades. Blow both intake side and exhaust and then fire it up. I'll bet you you'll see a ton of dust and dirt come out of it.
|My System Specs
|09 Feb 2012
No just no.
That is if you are talking about one of these.
If you are talkinig about one of these then sure go ahead ^^
|My System Specs
|09 Feb 2012
I'm talking about the proper use of either. Personally I prefer the green alternative to the canister but there is a technique involved. It sounds like you think everything inside a computer is ultra fragile but if you use a brush and the right distance as well as stopping all fans from runaway spinning you can get the best results with a large compressor oh but of course you also must wait a couple of minutes to allow any condensation in the air to evaporate. This is of course a non-issue as you've already moved the rig to the garage and by the time you get it all set back up it's dry as a bone and do bleed the tank after each use to minimize water build up. Common sense man and I've never have a single component fail after cleaning.......never.
|My System Specs
|09 Feb 2012
Windows 7 Pro. 64/SP-1
Yes dirt could be part of the problem but I would think case cooling is also part of the problem. If you remove the side panel and fan gets quieter it is because it's cooling down and their for the p/s fan is slowing down. Once again what case do you have and what fans are you using. That power supply should handle any game you play without overheating and the fan speeding up a lot if it is in a case with proper air circulation.

Watch Parkland: Recounting the chaotic events that occurred in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963, Parkland weaves together the perspectives of a handful of ordinary individuals suddenly thrust into extraordinary circumstances: the young doctors and nurses at Parkland Hospital; Dallas' chief of the Secret Service; an unwitting cameraman who captured what became the most watched and examined film in history; the FBI agents who nearly had the gunman within their grasp; the brother of Lee Harvey Oswald, left to deal with his shattered family; and JFK's security team, witnesses to both the president's death and Vice President Lyndon Johnson's rise to power over a nation whose innocence was forever altered.

Modifying my previous calculations, 27 of 32 cases would make Duke at least regular season co-champion, or 84%. And a much higher percentage if you assumed a Duke win over Clemson -- but I ain't going there.
UNC is 11-2.
I wasn't talking about getting the #1 seed; I was talking about winning the ACC regular season title. They are different things (see 2001, when Duke 'won' the regular season but was not the #1 seed; two or more (see 1995) teams can win the regular season title).
I believe someone was positing that the following could happen: Duke could lose to VT and UNC (making Duke 13-3), and UNC would win out (making UNC 14-2). In this situation, Duke would not win the regular season crown. That is bad. I like winning championships, even regular season ones. K brought the team into Cameron to show them all the teams that have won either the regular season or tourney crown (remember, you can tie for reg season).
Kenpom has us at 91% to beat Clemson. Singler and Smith are, I think, 64-2 in Cameron. Let's assume that we'll beat Clemson. On senior night. In a game the computer says we will win 91% of the time. By two guys who have lost twice in four years there, and not since their sophomore year.
So, what has to happen for Duke to *not* win the ACC regular season crown. Duke will be at least 13-3. Meaning Carolina has to be 14-2.
What has to happen:
Duke lose to VT (28% chance) X Duke lose to UNC (41% chance) X UNC beat Maryland (71% chance) X UNC beat FSU (58%) = 4.7% chance Duke does not win (or tie) the regular season.
95% chance we're hanging a banner. Not 95% chance we get ACC #1.

Modifying my previous calculations, 27 of 32 cases would make Duke at least regular season co-champion, or 84%. And a much higher percentage if you assumed a Duke win over Clemson -- but I ain't going there.
Easy to see how the thread title would confuse. I was simply replying to the assertion in post #7 about garnering at least a tie for the regular season title and the "decent chance" that would not happen. The 84% number you give is if every game is 50/50, right?
The tournament winner is the ACC champion -- THE Champion. Period. Whether it is fair or not, that's the way the conference figures it.
I posted in another thread that the ACC regular season championship is the equivilent to the No. 1 ranking in the final AP Poll, while the ACC Tournament title is the equivilent to the NCAA Tournament title (then national awards are more significant than the conference ones, but in the sense the two regular season awards carry far less weight that the tournament titles).
I want to win the regular season title. I want to win it outright. But I don't think either of those desires is nearly as important as how much I want to beat UNC in Chapel Hill. Win that and the other stuff follows.
As for the No. 1 ACC Tourney seed ... that's not a big deal at all.
The interesting question for me is this:
What do you choose in a season:
(A) Duke wins regular season title at 14-2, but two losses are to UNC; or
(B) Duke beats UNC twice, finishes 13-3, and UNC wins the title at 14-2.
I hate Carolina as much as anyone. But I have to take "A". We're about winning championships. I think K would take "A" over "B" as well.
... or to make a more difficult choice:
(A) Duke 0-2 against UNC and Duke wins regular season title.
(B) Duke 2-0 against UNC and neither Duke nor UNC wins reg season title.
I still choose "A". Every time.
Regarding MD@UNC - a good buddy of mine is a big-time Maryland fan and his take is that Stoglin has emerged as their go-to guy over Cliff Tucker. Now that they've solidified their lineup, everyone knows their roles and they're playing much better than they were earlier in the year. I give them a real shot at beating UNC. It's a road game, but according to Scott Van Pelt that doesn't make much difference since the crowd at Comcast is nonexistent 8-)
Lunardi's latest bracketology has Duke as the #1 in the Southwest region with Kansas as the #2. He also has UNC as a #4 in the Southeast bracket playing opening round games in Charlotte while Georgetown, a #3 seed in the West bracket, plays in Tampa. Wouldn't UNC and GU be swapped if their seedings remain?
*Oops, wrong thread. Can the mods move this to the 'chase for #1 seed' thread? Thanks.
That really disappoints me, actually. That would have been a much more fitting statistic under "humiliation." There are a few more areas that would compliment a 20-year comparison between Duke and Carolina as well.Originally Posted by throatybeard

Pretty telling numbers, I think. We have some work to do if we are going to catch Roy and his boys in these "championship" areas. As it stands currently, we are getting pummeled.

Vince, do you understand compound probabilities? Read the posts above, esp. the one from sage .... even *not* including Clemson as a sure win, and *even* counting every game as a 50/50 proposition (which it is not, given Duke's strength), the odds we would at least tie for the ACC regular season title was 84%. That's pure math. It's not my or your analysis of b'ball. It is just saying every game is coin flip, we still had an 84% chance going into tonight. That meant there was a 16% chance we would not ... or a 5% (slightly more, actually, given Clemson was 91% not 100%) using kenpom's numbers.
I will certainly be among the biggest of the Terp and 'noles fans this week.
But it sure feels like it may come down to that last game.... Hmm.
That's be ok by me -- bring em on!
Go Terps!! Go 'noles!!

"2011 Deaf Ministry Conference"
The specified year was not found.
The specified story was not found.
By Ann Maniscalco
Nestled just beyond a quiet subdivision in Clinton, moss-draped trees set a sentinel over the grounds of Garaywa Camp and Conference Center (www.garaywa.org). The treasured facility, owned by Mississippi's Woman's Missionary Union, offers a tranquil getaway for retreats, conferences, summer camps, missionary meetings and training in various areas of ministry.
Mississippi Baptists' gifts through the Margaret Lackey State Missions Offering help maintain the facilities at Garaywa. Another of the dozen life-changing components the Offering helps fund is Language/Deaf Ministries, and each fall, the Mississippi Baptist Conference of the Deaf (MBCD) draws scores of Deaf and hard-of-hearing persons, along with sign language interpreters, deaf ministry leaders, families and friends to the secluded campground.
"Many Deaf do not have a place where they can worship in their own language and culture. MBCD gives them that opportunity," states Jim Booth, long-time deaf ministry leader. As Consultant for Deaf Ministries for the Mississippi Baptist Convention Board, Booth works with a planning committee of deaf and hearing believers to make this annual event one of spiritual growth, challenge and encouragement for those attending the weekend retreat.
As usual, the committee pulled together an outstanding group of leaders, including camp pastor Chip Penland, (pastor to the Deaf at Kirby Woods Baptist Church, Memphis TN), Robert and Cindy Moore of Charlotte, NC, and Larry Barnett, of Austin, TX. Interspersed with the times of discipleship were presentations of music and drama, as well as opportunities for relaxation and good fellowship.
Teresa Burns, currently MBCD's President, was pleased with the 2011 event, held September 23rd – 25th. "It was a very good conference", the energetic Burns (who has attended the conference for at least the past ten years) said with a smile. "We had close to one hundred in attendance." Twenty or more deaf ministries from across the state were represented, she added.
Not only do the Deaf benefit from the workshops, Bible studies and preaching, interpreters - including students of interpreter training programs (ITPs) - gain knowledge and communication skills from workshops designed for them. Deaf presenter Robert Moore, an instructor of ASL (American Sign Language) studies at Gardner-Webb University, led interpreters in an innovative and helpful two-session workshop on Saturday.
Countless Deaf and those who love them have been impacted by Mississippi deaf ministries over the years. According to The History of the Southern Baptist Convention's Ministry to the Deaf, by Carter Bearden, Sr., "In 1988, the Mississippi Baptist Conference of the Deaf emerged when its constitution and by-laws were approved, and the first officers were chosen." But at least as early as the 1960s, records show a steady stream of leaders in whose hearts God instilled a compassion for the Deaf; names such as Jerry St. John, Rodney Webb, T.H. Barron, Richard Alford and Jim Booth are among these faithful servants.
Rachael Patterson, interpreter and deaf ministry coordinator at First Baptist Church of Pascagoula, has been involved with the Deaf since learning sign language from Mollie and T.H. Barron in 1974. A skilled interpreter, Patterson treasures her times at MBCD. "I have attended every year except one," she mentioned. Calling it "a place I can go and be totally immersed in 'the deaf world'", she is quick to put the next year's dates on her calendar. "I have truly learned so much from deaf individuals. When I leave each year, I can hardly wait to go back."
Patterson's daughter-in-law, Angela, has taken an interest in the Deaf. As a novice sign language user, she attended MBCD for the first time. The conference, with its heavy emphasis on preaching and Bible study, had a profound effect on the young mother. "I came to learn sign language," she admitted, "but I learned more about God than I did sign language."
Next year's MBCD dates are September 28th – 30th. Our continued support of the Margaret Lackey State Missions Offering will assure that the Deaf can continue to have this opportunity to "hear" God's word and respond to His call.
South Mississippi writer Ann Maniscalco, whose daughter is Deaf, thanks God for the experiences and relationships that learning to sign has brought her way.

Thanks to the new followers that I've had since I was last active on this blog in October. I was the victim of some crazy fandom/bullying shit on my main blog that caused me to leave tumblr and I've only just returned.
Will upload the Blackadder gifs that I've recently done.
from the original Blackadder series…
I lost all my Blackadder avi files :( so have had to download all the shows again. Hence, no new gifs. I did update my blog page though with quite a cool background design I found.
Logged on and found I've just gone passed a milestone. Thanks to all those that have clicked my follow button :)

Hey Everyone. Justin here to kind of do a recap of how things work when you're actually ordering posters from us on high traffic sale days. We had a TON of people sign up for the site with this TRON release today and we got a lot of emails like this from angry fans:
I had called and left a message earlier, however, you guys don't open until 5pm, but I was messaging to make a complaint about my transaction earlier. Earlier today at 12:30-12:31 pm I hopped on MondoTees from my cell phone, added the original Tron poster to my cart, went through all the shipping and billing address stuff and after clicking next I was given an Out of Stock page, which baffled me. After refreshing the page and receiving another Twitter notification from MondoNews, sure enough, I was just jacked out of a purchase. Normally, I wouldn't give a shit enough to bitch about it, however, I know how quick these sell and how much they resell for on eBay and this was supposed to be a gift for my girlfriend, as she loves the original Tron movie completely. I'm extremely pissed off, moreso at the fact that by adding a product to my cart, I feel it should be reserved, as I lingered on that page for about an hour, hoping to be one of the first to buy this poster. Apparently, the servers being blown up and my 3g network screwed me out of that. I would like to still purchase one of these posters and if you look at my previous purchases, there aren't many, but I've always been a beyond satisfied customer and still hope to continue to shop here. I'm just hoping you can compensate me for this situation, as this issue was created on your end. Thank you for the time, and I apologize for the bitchiness, it's just the holiday season, it's stressful, and I was looking forward to this since it leaked a couple days ago.
This fan was mad, that's clear and it's TOTALLY understandable. Guys, I'm a collector, too. I collect toys, comics, shoes, all kinds of stuff and I fight just like you to get rare, collectible, LIMITED stuff online. I know how it feels when you don't get what you want, especially when you've been refreshing and waiting for hours. The main thing I want to point out in the above message is this line:
"by adding a product to my cart, I feel it should be reserved"
This is false. There are TONS of reasons why you, the fan, don't want this to happen. If you really want me to go into them, I'd be glad to drop a few in the comments, but the main point is that if you have something in your cart, it's not yours until you make it through the checkout process and pay for it. I'm trying to keep this short and sweet as we have A LOT to do for the bunch of releases coming up before the end of the year, but since we do have a bunch of great stuff coming out, I thought I should make this crystal clear.
If you have any questions, hit me up in the comments or shoot me an email. firstname.lastname@example.com

good spanking
Added On: 03/22/09 | Time: 0:26 | Views: 159469 | Comments: 2 | Favorites: 72
Here we follow a fantasy of these two ladies who are obsessed with punishment and roleplay. Imagining themselves as employees of some research institute, they go through a punishment scene where the older lady is in charge and gives the younger girl a good spanking in a cellar while the receiving party is tied to the bench. A beautiful thrilling fantasy that is, and they performed just perfectly.

The Great Debate UK
from The Great Debate:
Europe's leaders should boycott Putin's Olympic ceremony
In February 2014 the Russian elite will gather in the gleaming super stadiums of Sochi -- governors and oligarchs, police chiefs and "political technologists" -- to thunderously applaud as Vladimir Putin opens his Winter Olympics.
He has been dreaming of this for years.
But this is not a ceremony European leaders should attend.
In Sochi the Russian elite wants to dumbfound the EU -- not only with synchronized ice skating and Kremlin-coordinated firework displays -- but with a ceremony underscoring the absolute power of their leader.
This is Putin's Olympics -- his Berlin 1936, his Beijing 2008.
This bald autocrat locks up punks, protestors and political prisoners -- and made homophobia state policy. But he has no doubt the West will be there to shake his hand in Sochi -- none whatsoever that French, British and German leaders will congratulate him on the success of the games, and thus the strength of his rule. Why so?
Moscow no longer sees the U.S. and the EU the way it used to. The long oil boom has not just been an upward curve in Russian power -- for Russian politicians it has been a decadelong journey into Western finance.
from The Great Debate:
A fragile peace with Taliban if school attacks escalate
In the week in which America opened the door for negotiations with the Taliban, three bloody massacres of school children -- shot down simply because they wanted to go to school -- raise grave questions about what kind of peace the Taliban offer.
Within days of the initiative for talks, the Taliban shot to death nine foreign tourists encamped on the peak of Nanga Parbat in northern Pakistan, saying the murders were in retaliation for a drone attack that killed one of their leaders. But what kind of justification can possibly be offered for the firebombing of a college bus carrying forty girls from their Quetta campus in Pakistan? Fourteen defenseless girls died in the bombing; eight more people died when the terrorists ambushed the hospital.
from The Great Debate:
Let's kick Syria out of the United Nations
The United Nations estimates that since Syria's uprising began over a year ago, more than 9,000 Syrians have been killed. A recent assessment from Council on Foreign Relations Senior Fellow Elliot Abrams puts the total number of Syrian refugees at almost half a million. Worse, it appears that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's forces are continuing to torture, imprison and kill Syrian civilians. It also seems that the recent peace plan promulgated by U.N.-Arab League peace envoy Kofi Annan, which Assad's government agreed to, is dead. According to Turkey's prime minister, Assad "is not withdrawing troops, but he is duping the international community."
The conventional wisdom holds that the international community is out of alternatives, short of another potentially dangerous military intervention or the risky prospect of arming Syria's rebels. Syria's government has already thumbed its nose at sanctions and condemnations from the Arab League, Gulf Cooperation Council, European Union and various U.N. organs and individual countries. The Security Council, thanks to the vetoes of Russia and China, is also constrained to issuing awkward joint statements rather than passing binding resolutions.
from The Great Debate:
Don't dismiss the Kony video
Last fall, my high school history teacher showed our class a documentary called Invisible Children. It was amazing: We got to know a boy in Uganda named Jacob, who shared his fears about being abducted again and talked about why he would never be normal. It made me want to do something, though I wasn't sure how I could help.
The movie had been made in 2005. Then on Mar. 5, Invisible Children Inc. released a video on YouTube about Joseph Kony, head of Uganda's Lord's Resistance Army, based partly on the documentary.
from The Great Debate:
How to tackle the child marriage crisis
By the end of today another 25,000 young children will have been robbed of their childhoods, cheated of their right to an education, exposed to life-threatening health risks, and set on a path that often leads to a life of servitude and poverty. Their plight is the result of widespread and systematic human rights violations. Yet the source of the injustice they suffer is hidden in the shadows of debates on international development: They are child brides.
Each year, 1.5 million girls -- many just starting their adolescent years -- become child brides. It was shocking for us to discover the sheer scale of the problem and to understand its impact on human rights and the life cycle of opportunities, and most tragically of all, on maternal and infant death rates.
from The Great Debate:
Suing corporations should be a last resort
On Feb. 28, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments in Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum. The case is about Shell's alleged complicity in torture and extrajudicial killings committed by the Nigerian military in the mid-1990s, and is expected to determine whether corporations can be sued in the U.S. for their involvement in human rights abuses abroad.
Corporate lawyers and plaintiffs' attorneys alike are eagerly awaiting the outcome. If the Supreme Court upholds corporate liability, as federal courts have in the past and the Obama administration is encouraging the High Court to do, other lawsuits will surely follow -- against Apple for labor abuses in its Chinese manufacturing base, for example.
from Global News Journal:
UNsensational? Five more years of Ban Ki-moon
It's hard to find a delegate to the United Nations who despises U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. But it's even harder to find someone who thinks he has the gravitas and charisma of his Nobel Peace Prize-winning predecessor Kofi Annan, who invoked the wrath of the previous U.S. administration when he called the 2003 invasion of Iraq "illegal." As one senior Western official, who declined to be identified, said about Ban: "It's not as if he's lightning in a bottle, but we can live with him."
from Pakistan: Now or Never?:
Sentenced to death: On Pakistan's minorities
Earlier this year I asked someone who had been a senior minister in the government of Pakistan why the country could not change laws which discriminated against minorities. I asked the question because more than 80 people from the minority Ahmadi sect had just been killed in two mosques in Lahore, which at the time served as a wake-up call of the dangers of growing religious intolerance in Pakistan.
His answer was unhesitating. You could not possibly do something like that in Pakistan.
Cluster munitions treaty – a milestone, but a long way to go
Bonnie Docherty is a senior researcher in the Arms Division at Human Rights Watch. She is also a lecturer and clinical instructor in the International Human Rights Clinic at Harvard Law School. The opinions expressed are her own.
On August 1, the world moved a step closer to eliminating cluster munitions, large weapons that carry dozens or hundreds of smaller submunitions and are notorious for killing and maiming civilians, both during attacks and long afterward.
The worst place to return a child?
-Simone Troller is children's rights researcher with Human Rights Watch and specialises in unaccompanied migrant children in Europe. The opinions expressed are her own.-
It should hardly come as a surprise to anyone reading the news that Europe's biggest group of asylum seekers are Afghans, including thousands of children who arrive alone.

Tyrann Mathieu plans on blowing Mike Mayock a kiss on his first game changing play of his career. I look forward to seeing him do that.
I'll never forget what mike mayock said about me… I'll blow him a kiss on my first game changing play
— Tyrann Mathieu (@Mathieu_Era) July 17, 2013
What did Mayock say about him? I believe he said something about Mattieu being a better football player than an athlete and he gave him a 3rd or 4th round grade.
I look forward to that moment when he makes that game changing play. I enjoyed watching that Honey Badger in college and think he could be a nice playmaker for the Cards. He has a lot to prove and a nice little blow of the kiss wouldn't be too much.

Defensive Rookie Of The Year
Jarvis Jones-Pittsburgh Steelers
One of the biggest surprises on draft night this year came when Jarvis Jones slid all the way down to pick 17, where the Steelers snatched him up. Jones showed incredible athleticism and ability to get to the quarterback throughout his career at Georgia, and I think it will translate very nicely to the NFL.
Jones is a bit undersized, as he is listed at 6'2 and weighing in at 245 pounds. But this is something that I believe Jones can use to his advantage when it comes time to go after that quarterback. He has an incredible burst off the line, and it may be a bit of a shock for left tackles in today's game to see someone with the physical makeup of Jones. Throughout the 2012 season, I tuned in to Georgia football games for the sole reason of watching Jones work. He knows how to rush the quarterback, and he just has a knack for making plays. The downside of being on the smaller side for Jones, is he will not be nearly as effective when it comes to stopping the run. The Steelers may opt to only put him on the field for passing situations, and return him to the sidelines on first and second down. Regardless of how Jones is used, I think he is primed for a huge season down in Pittsburgh. The Steelers defense is aging, and they needed a guy like Jones to give them a "shot", and maybe wake up the rest of that unit.

MuckRock, an investigative website that specializes in open-records requests, says Philadelphia has paid more than $40 million to settle nearly 600 police misconduct suits since 2009.
Sound like a lot? The folks at MuckRock think so.
"The numbers dwarf comparable statistics in other major cities for which MuckRock obtained the same data," MuckRock reported. "For example, the cities of Indianapolis, San Francisco, San Jose, and Austin settled or lost a combined 122 police misconduct cases — compared to 586 cases in Philadelphia."

"Expert at Wall Street Branches Out and FAILS"
Black Swan is the Masterpiece by Taleb.
This book is a massive "Reversion toward the Mean".
A Total And Utter Tour de Force of Horseshit, on a massive list of subject's Taleb is utterly incompetent, holding neophyte status in.
Too many times, the vast majority of times Taleb enters subject areas assuming incompetence in the field based in his limited knowledge of the field, from diet to diabetes. Nassim assumes incompetence he may have read from the editorial pages of the WSJ, but not the actual journals of the subjects he discusses.
Just one example, on the one hand he ridicules the NY 20 oz soda ban, no the other he assumes dietitians and pediatricians don't know the dangers of juices and sodas.
He attacks "liberal" economists who generally agree with his proposals, as if Stiglitz doesn't know "Agency" problems, and hasn't railed against them, as Taleb himself has.
This book is a massive attack on "Straw Men", things that aren't true and no one believes.
At Total Waste of your Time and Money.
if you wish to read Taleb, competent in his subject matter, buy Black Swan.
"In depth look at Wall Street Fraud"
Repubs, get thru the early part of the book, and you will be rewarded with how Wall Street has corrupted the commodities markets. That knowledge is golden.
"Interesting Concepts with Slow Sections"
The reading was very good, with good voices for the main characters.
The story is interesting, but, there are some slow sections of long pointless detail about landscape.
"Adds nothing to our understanding of Economics"
Mischaracterization of cultures.
Author seems to be buried in right wing spin, and has not yet questioned it.
Austerity budgets lead to Much Lower Economic growth.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
This is a wonderful neighborhood school with a real sense of community and caring. Our daughter has been there 5 years now and we are SO glad we made the decision to send her to Gault!
I have nothing but great things to say about Gault! My daughter who is now in middle school went there all 6 years, K-5 and so did my son who is now in 5th. Every one of my kids teachers were amazing at their jobs and gave their all to make sure all kids in the class thrived. There is a community built by the parents, students, staff and teachers! If this is your neighborhood school I urge you to visit the campus and take a tour. Talk with past and present parents and students. You will be very overwhelmed with what you see and feel.
I have two children at Gault. I have to admit that before my oldest started 4 years ago I was concerned that the scores were lower than the other SC schools. We decided to give it a chance since it is our neighborhood school. Taking a chance paid off. We have had amazing teachers and Molly Parks is a wonderful principal. There are many parent volunteers who work very hard to make Gault a great school. The class sizes are small and there is a real sense of community. My children are thriving at Gault. If you live in the neighborhood you should look beyond the numbers and see for yourself.
BEWARE! If you can get your kids into a different school, then you should at least try. My daughter was bullied by other girls, made fun of for being Jewish and verbally assaulted by another parent while at school. This person actually threatened to make my daughter pay. We spoke with her teacher and tried to talk to the Principal. The Principal at this school seems very indifferent to any concerns but her own. She refused to listen to my daughter when she tried to complain, nor did she respond at all to indicate she saw a problem with the parent of a bully showing up to make additional threats. They tell you to "talk to them". If you try, you will be met with indifference. The girls who bullied my daughter and encouraged her to disrespect her family and herself are at camp, while my daughter is at home. Again, the Principal could have stepped up and tried to remedy this situation. She could have prohibited the bullies participation in a camp activity. Would you let your child go on an overnight outing with kids who have no conscience? Do you want your kids going to a school with a Principal and staff who see nothing wrong with bullying your child?
I am a retired teacher, and taught for 22 years at a California Distinguished School. My professional life gave me knowledge of a number of schools in Santa Cruz County. My grandson goes to Gault Elementary, and it has been a wonderful experience from day one. He has had some challenges in his life, and both the principal, Molly Parks, and all the teachers he has had, not to mention the compassionate office staff and support personnel, have been there for him 100%. He is academically very strong and has been challenged and motivated by the engaging, creative curriculum. The Life Lab, music, art, and library programs are outstanding. I can't say enough for this great school.
We really like Gault: it's a smaller school with great teachers and lots of involved parents. Our son can read well after one year of kindergarten and 3 months of first grade. The library is good and they have a garden with a life lab program where the kids learn about plants.
I love Gault and have had nothing but a positive experience here. My second grade student was given great leadership by her teacher who cared about her academic success as well as her personal development. In short, we quickly fell in love with Gault. The value for nutrition is another thing that really impressed me. All students are given a healthy (whole grain, balanced) breakfast every day as well as awesome nutrition lessons relating to the garden program. I have no complaints. :)
Gault is one of the smaller schools in the Santa Cruz school district. Their class sizes are small (for example my 1st grader had 18 students in her class) and the teachers are dedicated and have been at the school for an average of 10 years plus. The primary English speaking children get 4 days of Spanish. The school has a strong environmental and art emphasis. The life lab program is great too. We feel so lucky to have our kids here.
Gault Elementary School has been providing outstanding education for decades and deserves accolades,especially in the form of funding.
The community of parents, teachers, staff, etc. All really care about the individual child!
One child is now in third grade--one started Kindergarten this year. The academic quality has been very high, but what we are really looking for is content and teachers that will enhance our children's love of learning. Every day is exciting because they learn about the world by doing, not just from workbooks. The third grader's test scores just arrived--she is smart, but not brilliant and certainly not the brightest in her classes. Yet, she scored at the advanced level in both Language Arts and Math! I think this is due to her excellent teachers and the fact that she loves going to school. My kids are caucasian and they have friends from diverse ethnic and economic backgrounds. I like that. Gault's scores are low because over half of the kids are English Language Learners. Try taking a written test in a language that you are still learning!
Kindergartens are bilingual -- American Sign Language (which is not found elsewhere), English and Spanish. Diverse after-school activities offered through the county cultural council, but they do bill you for fees (scholarships are available, though). Parent involvement doesn't seem very high, but may be because many are working-class parents who don't have much time. Was unsure about it at the beginning of the year, but am satsified now (March '05). My son is excelling, and will be well-prepared for 1st grade.
I think that Gault is a fantastic school because they concentrate on really inspiring students to learn, actively engaging kids in creative, complex, highly motivating projects. I think that Gault motivates a true love of learning precisely because the school does NOT obsess on test scores and standardized curriculum. I also love the arts emphasis.

Buddha's words are abstract; they are very very high words, philosophical. Jesus' words are down-to-earth, very earthly. They have that fragrance of the earth that you come across when the rains have started and the earth is soaking up the rains and a great fragrance arises - the fragrance of the wet earth, the fragrance that you find on a sea beach, the fragrance of the ocean, the trees. Jesus' words are very very earthbound, rooted in the earth. He is an earthly man, and that is his beauty. Nobody else can be compared with that beauty. The sky is good, but abstract, far away, distant.
So I say to you, no other book starts the way the Gospel starts; no other book talks the way the Gospel talks.
The word gospel comes originally from a word godspel. God has spoken through Jesus. Jesus is just a hollow bamboo. The song is of God, and Jesus' metaphors are very true to life. He is not spinning concepts, he is simply indicating the truth as it is.
First the beginning:
"The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas.. And Judas begat Phares.and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram." and so it goes, on and on. And then: ".Jacob begat Joseph. the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ."
Then this genealogy stops suddenly. Forty-two generations have passed from Abraham to Jesus. The Gospel records the forty-two generations, and then suddenly Jesus is born and the genealogy stops. Suddenly there comes a full point. because Jesus is the fulfillment; there is no beyond. Jesus is the culmination - there is no way to go further on. So "Abraham begat Isaac, Isaac begat Jacob." - it continues. Then there is no way to go beyond Jesus: the ultimate has come. Jesus is the flowering and the fulfillment. That's why the Bible calls Jesus the pleroma, the fulfillment.
Those forty-two generations are fulfilled in Jesus. The whole history that has preceded Jesus is fulfilled in him. The home has arrived. He is the fruit, the growth, the evolution of those forty-two generations. Jesus is the fulfillment, that's why the Gospel does not say anything further. Jesus did not beget anybody, Jesus begat himself. And that is the meaning of the word christ.
There are two kinds of births. One, through others - from the father, from the mother - that is a bodily birth. The other birth you have to give to yourself, you have to be born out of yourself; you have to become the womb, the father and the mother and the child. You have to die as the past and you are to be born as the future. You have to beget yourself. That's why I say that the book starts in an incredibly beautiful way - very significant: Jesus begat nobody, Jesus begat himself.
That is the meaning of crucifixion and resurrection. The body is crucified, you cannot crucify the spirit. You can destroy the body. You cannot destroy the spirit. The body is gross: the sword can cut it, the poison can kill it; and even if nothing is going to kill it, death is going to come and the body will be gone. It has to go, it is meant to go; it is only there for the time being. Those who are conscious, they use that time to create spirit in them.

When Charlotte Strowhorn of Gary first heard the idea of a summer camp providing not only escape, but also spiritual, educational and inspiration focus for children whose parents are in prison, she made it her own personal mission.
"I knew I'd need help and support to start our own version of this annual camp opportunity for Northwest Indiana," Strowhorn said.
"I decided I would seek assistance from my own faith and foundation to make this camp a reality, by turning to my church community."
Stowhorn, a member of the Episcopal Diocese of Northern Indiana, asked the Right Rev. Stewart S. Little II, bishop for the 36 episcopal churches in Northern Indiana, for help and guidance and by 2006, she had help to found Camp New Happenings.
And after two years of planning, research, writing grants and fund raising, an annual summer camp for children of incarcerated parents was launched as an ecumenical ministry sponsored by the Episcopal Diocese of Northern Indiana.
"Our first camp season was in 2008 and we had eight youths," said Strowhorn, who is welcoming this year's participants today at Camp Alexander Mack in tiny Milford, Ind., near Warsaw, Ind., for the start of the 2011 Camp New Happenings.
"The next year, in 2009, we had 27 children and last year, for 2010, we gathered 24 youths."
For this weekend's arrival of the 2011 Camp New Happenings, which begins today and concludes on Saturday, there are 32 children involved.
There is no cost at all to the parents and guardians and round trip transportation is provided from any location in Northern Indiana, spanning from anywhere in Northwest Indiana to South Bend and Fort Wayne, to as far south as Marion, Ind., and the surrounding areas.
Each year Strowhorn keeps busy ambitiously writing grants and fundraising to acquire the needed $10,000 required to run the one-week camp, which is always held at Camp Alexander Mack, since the property and staff are accredited by the American Camping Association.
"Although we are budgeted for 30 children, we would never turn a child away and we also accept siblings as long as they fall within the age range," said Strowhorn, who says it cost nearly $500 a child to cover all of the needed expenses, such as food, lodging, transportation and supplies for the week.
She said there are 21 such camps around the country and she's proud that her created camp experience of a staff of volunteers includes a one to four ratio to assure ample attention to the children, who come from diverse cultural backgrounds and range from ages 8 to 11. The staff consists of counselors, college students, arts and crafts instructors, chaplain, professional child behavior specialists, certified life guard and nurses, all managed by Moses Carter, who has served as the director of Camp New Happenings for the past four years.
Children who have at least one parent incarcerated in a State of Indiana or Federal facility are eligible to participate.
"We offer all of the activities normally associated with a summer camp, from starting the day with the Pledge of Allegiance to daily swimming and arts and crafts to sports, hiking, evening camp fires, cookouts, along with a non-denominational Christian education," Strowhorn said.
"And starting in 2010, Purdue University North Central began providing a program so each day a professor from such studies as biology, chemistry, earth and atmospheric sciences and astronomy provide instruction."
She said the Camp New Happenings board of directors is ecumenical and comprised of representation from throughout Northern Indiana. Strowhorn is the board president.
"We are always in need of donations, volunteers and support," Strowhorn said.
"There's lots of paperwork involved for both the children and our volunteers, but these are efforts that are very rewarding for everyone involved. I'm particularly grateful to Bishop Little, for all of the help and support he gives this program. One Sunday a month, all of our Episcopal churches ask for what's called a 'Prison Sunday Collection' to help raise money throughout the year."
Strowhorn said she also continues to learn at the camp each year.
"These children are so appreciative for the attention and time they are given during this one week," she said.
"And I've never seen children who are so happy and willing to eat all of the fresh prepared meals and snacks provided each day. From vegetables, fruits and cottage cheese to guidance and education, these children are hungry in many ways. And for some, at the end of the week, they don't want to return home to their everyday life."

Frozen Grand Marnier Torte with Dark Chocolate Crust and Spiced Cranberries Reviews
Bon Appétit | December 2006
reviews & comments (73)
I made this last night for a little Christmas get together, and it was really tasty. I wasn't sure what to expect (I mostly made it because the picture was so beautiful!), but it had a little bit of everything-- chocolate crust, creamy citrusy filling (it reminded me of frozen lemon curd) and a cranberry topping that just tasted like Christmas. Everyone loved it! I used Triple Sec instead of Grand Marnier (much cheaper!) and Sherry instead of port because I had it-- it turned out great!
Used every utensil in my kitchen and made this for Thanksgiving dessert. It got rave reviewa, very rich, but very yummy.
