There are two ways of looking at the events happening in the world around us. The first is that all of these events are just natural phenomena. With this in mind one would look at Israel coming into her ancient homeland after almost 2,000 years of diaspora and would not see any relevance, nor would it matter. To put it bluntly, in this way of thinking one would embrace the world view that there is no god, no prophecy, and no supernatural world. There is only what we can see, hear, taste, smell and observe using the scientific method. More on Days of Chaos
In 2009 Hamas began digging a secret network of 40 terrorist attack tunnels from Gaza deep into Israel. The object: kill, maim and take hostage as many Israeli men, women and children as possible, and achieve a "Divine Victory" over the Zionist enemy. Read more on Dan Gordon - Day of the Dead
Untold stories? Untold outside of Ceremonial Grounds, Stomp Arbors, Powwow Grounds, and private family gatherings tucked away deep on tribal lands. I was honored and humbled to be able to sit and learn these old stories from elders hailing from many First Nations tribes. Comanche, Dineh, Apache, Anishinabe, Aztec, Cherokee, Creek, Cheyenne, Lakota, and Mohawk are a few of the First Nation's whose elders shared their beautiful stories with me.

Following the release of their international best-seller, Exo-Vaticana, Thomas Horn and Cris Putnam were inundated with requests from around the world to be interviewed on radio, television, and in print media. What they discovered sent shockwaves through Christianity concerning the Vatican s advanced telescope, which sits on top of Mt. Graham in Arizona (USA) where the Jesuits admit they are monitoring something approaching the earth. After the author s initial report was published in Exo-Vaticana, the pope's top astronomer...

Thanks for helping!
The convention center had free parking while we attended a cook off and later a festival in the park everything was well organized and we had a great time.
We played a volleyball tournament here and it was quite efficient for the event. It was easy access to in and out.
Another failed attempt for Shreveport to be anything more than a POOR city with nothing to do. Bathrooms were dirty, and it was in a terrible part of town. It is for some reason conected to the Hilton which I have stayed at and it was one step above a Motel 6. If you need to have a corporate meeting...
The staff is always gracious. My Church (over 7000) holds Sunday church here. Great Place Awesome Parking. Feel very safe going here.
My son and I attended the Fit For Life Sports Weekend bodybuilding competition. The set up was great and the show was fantastic. Parking is expensive, so if you can find a spot on the street, try that first.
Once the staff at the Hilton understood that they were dealing with a lot of people things got easier. The staff was very friendly, the food was good, really liked the chicken pot pie.
This was a very nice facility and accommodated many people that attended the dance competition. The bathroom that I went in was small and crowded; don't know if there were anymore close by. Girls were using bathrooms to change into dance outfits, so that made it worse. Most of the staff was nice and so was the security guards.
We had our competition at this place when we visited and it was very nice, clean and easy to get to. The bathrooms were clean and they keep the humidity down somehow very well.
This is located downtown Shreveport, with parking in the attached Hilton garage. It is pretty easy to find. All the events I have attended have been pretty nice and show off the nice spaces available. When I called one time to make arrangements for an event (even though it did not work out), the Events Manager I spoke to seemed...
visiting with family and friends at this special event. I wish we could of stayed longer, but we had to end it and return home.

FREDERICK, Md., Aug. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- ImQuest BioSciences announced today the successful acquisition of funding from the National Institutes of Health to support the development of a long lasting, safe, and acceptable combination topical microbicide product. ImQuest and a consortium of microbicide researchers from four major U.S.-based universities will develop a highly innovative product from the portfolio of microbicides being developed by ImQuest, including the highly active dual-acting pyrimidinediones, the virus attachment and fusion inhibitor ISIS 5320, and the virus-inactivating NCp7-targeted thioesters. The $6.4 million award for studies to be performed in the Integrated Preclinical/Clinical Program for HIV Topical microbicides (IPCP-HTM), which is co-sponsored by the NIAID and DMID, will be led by Principal Investigator Robert W. Buckheit, Jr., Ph.D., Executive Vice President and Chief Scientific Officer of ImQuest. Other participating investigators include Dr. Patrick Kiser of The University of Utah, Dr. David Katz of Duke University, Dr. Kathleen Morrow of The Miriam Hospital/Brown University, and Drs. Lisa Rohan and Charlene Dezzutti of The University of Pittsburgh. Dr. Todd Parsley and Ms. Karen Watson of ImQuest will also play key roles in the performance of the program.
"This award forms the foundation of our efforts to develop a topical microbicide to reduce the incidence of sexual transmission of HIV, especially in the developing world where women now account for over 50% of people living with HIV and are in dire need of an effective microbicide product," said Dr. Buckheit. "It is our goal to develop a multi-product barrier for women that will inhibit several steps in the process of HIV infection, suppress the transmission of both wild type and resistant viruses, and which will only need to be applied once per week, or even once per month."
The IPCP-HTM project will focus on the development of ImQuest's
portfolio of microbicide

The Israeli ocean carrier recently returned to the black, posting adjusted net profits of $23 million in the second quarter of 2015 compared with a net loss of $50 million the previous year.
With more tonnage to be delivered next year, London-based shipping consultant Drewry says "the overhang of excess capacity [in the ocean freight industry] will be even greater than that experienced in 2009."
Capacity growth was relatively stagnant across the three major east-west trades in the third quarter of 2015, as slowing global trade and an economic recession in China caused volumes to remain weak even during the summer peak shipping season.

The Murcia region
Costa Calida means 'WARM COAST' and is situated to the south of the Costa Blanca, on the east Mediterranean coast, starting with the Province of Murcia and runs south towards Almeria. Costa Calida has breathtaking mountains, fertile agricultural land and miles of beautiful Blue Flag beaches making this a very typically un spoilt part of Spain.
The weather on the Costa Calida is the best in Spain . Winters are warmer and drier than any other part of Spain making the climate not only enjoyable but also beneficial from a health point of view. The average year round temperature is 20°C and there are approximately 320 days of sunshine per year, low humidity and very low rainfall making it a near perfect climate. The Costa Calida offers you the very best of Spain - without the expensive price tag.
Los Miradores del Puerto
The descriptive name of La Manga ("the sleeve") refers to an interesting geographical layout which has become one of the symbols that best identifies the coast of Murcia as a tourist resort: a chain that stretches along approximately 24 km from Cabo de Palos to the Punta del Mojón, and is the natural limit of the salt water lake known as the Mar Menor.
Two seas on one coastline – the Mar Menor and the Mediterranean – , impressive cliffs, heavenly beaches of endless white sand, lively ports and wild coves with crystal clear water, more than 3,000 hours of sun a year and mild temperatures – even in winter – with a yearly average of more than 18ºC. This is the Costa Cálida, the ideal place to spend some days relaxing both in winter and summer.
Due to it being located between two seas, La Manga is also an ideal place for water sports. There are sailing and skiing schools that run periodical courses, as well as windsurfing and catamarans. The Mediterranean can be enjoyed by those who prefer high waves for windsurfing and the entire coast also offers a series of areas that are ideally suited and perfectly isolated for diving, such as Cabo de Palos and the rocky depths next to Isla Grosa

Honoring Sarah Tran
Sarah Tran, a 2009 magna cum laude graduate of Georgetown and an IPR student, recently received the teacher-of-the-year award from the SMU Law graduating class of 2015. The class had Sarah during their first semester at law school when she was diagnosed with a reoccurrence of the cancer she first developed while at IPR. Sarah continued her lectures through Skype from her hospital bed, and weeks later, when she returned to the classroom, received a standing ovation. Over the next year, Sarah continued teaching more classes, publishing articles, and making presentations at conferences, all while fighting cancer. She even tried her hardest to finish grading exams in her final days. Sarah was an extraordinary student her at Georgetown and in IPR and, no surprise, turned out to be an extraordinary professor.

IPR Files Amicus Brief in Tenth Circuit to Defend the Endangered Species Act
On April 21, the Institute for Public Representation filed an amicus brief on behalf of forty-two Environmental Law Professors in the case People for Ethical Treatment of Property Owners (PETPO) v. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), supporting the defendant federal government's Constitutional authority to protect the Utah prairie dog under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The case is currently on appeal in the 10th Circuit, and concerns PETPO's challenge to a rule that prescribed when and where individuals can "take" the Utah prairie dog, which is listed as a threatened species under the ESA. Bringing suit in the District of Utah, PETPO argued that because the Utah prairie dog resides only in Utah and has no commercial value, the United States has no authority under the U.S. Constitution to promulgate such a rule. This is not the first time that a group has challenged the ESA on constitutional grounds, but the District of Utah is the first court to find the challenge meritorious.
IPR's brief contended that the Commerce Clause of the Constitution does indeed provide Congress with the authority to legislate to protect intrastate species like the Utah prairie dog. This is because the ESA protects species by regulating economic activities that substantially affect interstate commerce, which United States v. Lopez, 514 U.S. 549 (1995) established as a valid use of Commerce Clause authority. In addition, the brief relied on both the majority and Justice Scalia's concurrence in Gonzales v. Raich, 545 U.S. 1 (2005) to argue that the Commerce Clause, working with the Necessary and Proper clause, gave Congress authority to protect intrastate species. Nearly 70 percent of all species listed under the ESA reside in only one state; if Congress could not protect these species the ESA's scheme would crumble. Georgetown Law student Charissa Morningstar (L'15) researched and drafted the brief, under the supervision of graduate teaching fellow/staff attorney Danny Lutz.

IPR honored by client for working to limit the runaway expansion of digital billboards
The Institute for Public Representation was honored with an award on April 16th at a reception hosted by Scenic America to commemorate the 50th anniversary of both the Highway Beautification Act and Lady Bird Johnson's Conference on National Beauty. IPR is representing Scenic America, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and enhancing the visual character of America's communities, in Scenic America v. U.S. Department of Transportation. The case, currently on appeal before the D.C. Circuit, challenges a Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) ruling allowing for digital billboards with commercial advertising to blight American highways, despite federal prohibitions under the Highway Beautification Act on flashing, moving, or intermittent lighting on billboards. Georgetown Law students Rosalie Winn (L'15), Jason Yan (L'15), and Jonathan Aronchick (L'15) all researched and drafted the appellate briefing, under the supervision of graduate teaching fellow/staff attorney Danny Lutz.
IPR recently completed briefing on the case, filing a reply brief on March 20, 2015 in response to arguments raised by defendants FHWA and the Outdoor Advertising Association of America. Aronchick helped write the opening brief, and Winn and Yan wrote the reply. Both briefs made the case that FHWA ignored the requirements of the Highway Beautification Act and the Administrative Procedure Act when it capitulated to the demands of the outdoor advertising industry and opened the floodgates on permitting digital billboards.
The case offered a learning opportunity for the students involved to wade through complex and unsettled areas of law, including organizational standing and what distinguishes legislative rules from interpretive rules under the Administrative Procedure Act. The students also learned how to adapt to changes in the law during briefing, as an intervening Supreme Court decision, Perez v. Mortgage Bankers Association, struck down a D.C. Circuit decision that had previously played a role in the lawsuit.
This isn't the first time IPR has been recognized for its work on digital billboards. In 2010, Scenic America honored former IPR student Cristina Stella (L'10) for drafting a petition to to FHWA for rulemaking.

IPR and Professor Levitin to File Supreme Court Amicus Brief in Bank of America v. Caulkett
IPR's Civil Rights/Public Interest section is working with Georgetown Law Professor Adam J. Levitin to prepare an amicus brief that will be filed with the U.S. Supreme Court in Bank of America v.

IPR and Consumers Union File Comments with the Copyright Office in Support of Unlocking Exemption
Last week IPR helped Consumers Union file comments with the Copyright Office in support of an exemption from the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) that would enable consumers to unlock their mobile phones and tablets without risking criminal penalties.
Currently, most wireless carriers lock phones and tablets to their network so that these devices can only be used on one network. In the absence of an exemption, consumers who unlock their own devices may be subject to criminal penalties under the DMCA.
Without a legal right to unlock their devices, consumers must rely on their current carriers to unlock their phones and tablets for them—something carriers often make very inconvenient, even impossible. The proposed exemption would allow consumers unlock their own devices, making it easier to switch carriers and maintain the useful life of devices.
"Giving consumers the right to unlock their mobile devices would create innovation in the wireless carrier and device marketplaces," according to the comments. "Imposing DMCA civil and criminal liability on consumers who seek to use their devices on different wireless networks leads to customer lock-in, arbitrary forced purchases of new devices, and the consignment of useful equipment to the scrapheap. Allowing unlocking rebalances the market back in favor of consumers, as they can more easily switch carriers and make choices based on value and service."
The comments support an unlocking exemption for both mobile phones and tablets since consumers increasingly use them for essentially the same functions such as accessing the Internet or sending and receiving text messages and emails. An unlocking exemption covering both mobile phones and tablets would accurately reflect the growing functional equivalence of these devices in the minds of consumers.
Now that proponents have filed their comments in support of various DMCA exemptions, opponents of the proposed exemptions will have a chance to file comments in opposition by March 27th. Then, supporters of exemptions will have an opportunity to file reply comments by May 1st before the Copyright Office issues its final rule.

IPR Civil Rights/Public Interest Section Report Fall 2014
During Fall 2014, the Civil Rights/Public Interest section of IPR filed five lawsuits. In federal district court, we filed a retaliation and wage case on behalf of a worker misclassified as exempt from overtime, and terminated by his employer when he complained. Also in federal district court, we filed a FOIA case against the Executive Office of U.S. Attorneys for failing to produce records we requested regarding the use of summary affirmance motions by the US Attorney's Office for DC. In DC Superior Court, we brought two different wage theft cases, both on behalf of workers employed by DC government contractors or grant recipients. In Prince George's County, Maryland, we filed a case on behalf of an individual improperly assessed a deficiency under state consumer protection statutes. We have also agreed to represent an individual whose employer denied her the lactation breaks she was entitled to under state and federal law, and another worker whose employer denied her disability and pregnancy accommodations, discriminated against her on account of her national origin, and illegally assessed fees against her in connection with her resignation. We argued two appeals in federal court, one in the DC Circuit in a race discrimination case, and another in the Fifth Circuit in a preemption case. We filed an amicus brief in the DC Circuit in the appeal of a decision holding that the fee-shifting provision of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act does not apply to prevailing parties represented by appointed counsel, and we filed an amicus brief in the New York Court of Appeals in a case challenging a New York law that discriminates against nonresident attorneys. We initiated work on two amicus briefs to be filed in the U.S. Supreme Court in Spring 2015.
In addition to litigation, our Fall 2014 students successfully represented a client in demanding wages owed by his former employer, and used documents obtained under FOIA to prepare a report exposing government misconduct. Students also analyzed a number of potential cases, including two consumer protection claims, a potential appeal in a sexual harassment case, and a potential race discrimination class action based on reverse red-lining in automobile financing. On behalf of a public interest organization, we analyzed a potential Administrative Procedure Act claim related to the recall of exploding airbags. Our students visited the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) to meet enforcement attorneys and brainstorm on consumer-protection issues, participated in a conference call with CFPB Director Richard Cordray, met with Judge Lohier from the Second Circuit, and participated in moot courts for our own appellate arguments, and those of other public interest groups.

IPR's Communications and Technology Section Wraps Up Productive Semester
Students in IPR's Communications and Technology Law section recently finished an impressive semester in which they advocated for clients on a range of important issues such media ownership, community radio, and children's online privacy.
Six third-year law students participated in the Communications and Technology Law section this fall, working on a number of projects for IPR's clients. Below are a few highlights of the students' work this semester as well as quotes from the students on their experiences at IPR.
Representing local voices and those demanding diversity in license renewal challenge of WWOR-TV in Secaucus, NJ
IPR students Patricia Kim and Greg DiBella helped draft and file two separate administrative appeals (linked here and here) with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) seeking to overturn an earlier decision that renewed the license of WWOR-TV, which is owned by 21st Century Fox.
IPR's clients, the Office of Communication, Inc. of the United Church of Christ (UCC) and Voice for New Jersey (VNJ), had each challenged the license renewal on separate grounds back in 2007. UCC's challenge focused on Fox's violation of the newspaper-broadcast cross-ownership rule, as the company owns WWOR and another television station in the New York market. VNJ's challenge argued that WWOR had failed to provide New Jersey residents with important local news and information as required by the Communications Act.
After the FCC's Media Bureau denied both challenges, the students drafted the appeals, known as Applications for Review, asking that the full Commission reverse the earlier decision. The students also helped draft replies filed in response to Fox's opposition and attended meetings with Commissioners' staff reviewing the appeal.
Both Greg and Patricia said that they found working for their clients to be rewarding. Patricia, who represented UCC, said she identified with her clients concerns about a lack of diversity in the New York media market. Patricia said:
Diversity in the news is at the heart of the Commission's policy goals. I cannot think of a more important issue, as it is critical to our democracy for American citizens to receive our news from as many diverse and antagonistic sources as possible.
For Greg, who is a New Jersey native, his work with VNJ was about helping his neighbors obtain better news from local broadcasters. He said:
I am grateful to IPR for the opportunity to help citizens from my home state of New Jersey seek the media coverage that their local and state developments deserve. My work helped VNJ petition the FCC to enforce its public interest standard requiring that broadcasters transmit programming responsive to issues of local concern.
Holding companies accountable for violating children's privacy law
IPR student Camille Fischer drafted and filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) asking the agency to investigate candy maker Topps for an apparent violation of the federal law protecting children's online privacy.
The complaint, described more fully in a recent blog post, focused on a marketing campaign in which the candy manufacturer asked children to take photos of themselves wearing its iconic lollipop Ring Pop and post them to Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram with the hashtag #RockThatRock. The children were encouraged to post their pictures in the hopes that the images would be included in a future music video by tween band R5.
The complaint argued that Topps' campaign violated the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) by, among other things, collecting and disseminating the personal information of children under 13 without prior consent from their parents.
Camille said she learned more than simply how to draft a complaint, as her experiences at IPR included working with a coalition of consumer groups to build a strong case that would push the FTC to investigate. She said:
This semester at IPR has been the greatest opportunity to learn how to actually practice law. I came in with an interest in privacy and communications law, and ended the semester feeling like I had accomplished something for my client and for the public.
Continuing to help individuals who are deaf and hard of hearing obtain full access to television programming
IPR student Emily Bezhadi spent part of her semester drafting oppositions to petitions filed by several television programmers trying to avoid their closed-captioning obligations.
IPR has represented Telecommunications for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, Inc. for several years as it seeks to increase access to television programming through closed captioning. The work has often taken the form of opposing television programmers that seek waivers from the FCC to not caption their programming.
Emily helped investigate four petitions that the FCC recently sought comment on and then drafted one of the oppositions IPR filed in December. The work was rewarding because it gave her an opportunity to advocate for those who are deaf and hard of hearing. She said:
It is important that all Americans are equally able to access the myriad of different video programs through closed captioning. I am glad my work with IPR furthered the goal of my clients, TDI, in ensuring that only those petitioners who would be truly burdened by closed captioning should be exempt from the FCC's requirements.
Increasing disclosure of political ads on television, radio
IPR student Keir Lamont worked with several clients that have been working on increasing the transparency around campaign ads broadcast on television and radio.
The work took several forms. For example, Keir investigated and filed complaints against broadcasters for failing to identify the true sponsor of political ads run on broadcast stations, a follow on to previous efforts to increase transparency of campaign finance.
Keir also worked with clients to further recent efforts that facilitate greater transparency surrounding the entities purchasing political ads. After the FCC's rules were updated this summer to require that all broadcasters place this information into a file available online, IPR filed a petition for rulemaking with the FCC seeking to expand the requirements to cable and satellite providers.
Keir worked with clients as the FCC sought comments on the proposal, an effort that paid off when the agency announced a proposed rulemaking last week to expand the requirements to cable and satellite providers as well as radio stations.
Helping local community groups create low-power FM broadcast stations
Finally, IPR student Dan Syed worked with a number of community groups that are trying to obtain licenses from the FCC to create hundreds of new local radio stations across the country.
Dan's work focused on advising applicants who had applied for low-power FM (LPFM) licenses with the FCC in the fall of 2013. After thousands of groups applied, the FCC began sorting through them and determining which groups would receive licenses based on a process that involved groups earning points for, among other things, being locally based.
The goal of the LPFM service is to create a number of community-driven stations in markets across the country that reflect local culture, music, and ideas. Because multiple organizations in communities had applied to broadcast on the same frequency, the groups that were tied had to negotiate among themselves whether they would work together and share a license.
In addition to helping answer questions about the timeshare agreements, Dan also drafted an opposition filed on behalf of several groups seeking a radio license in Philadelphia.

IPR Files Request with the FTC to Protect Children from Candy Giant The Topps Company, Inc.
On Tuesday December 9th IPR filed, on behalf of the Center for Digital Democracy and a coalition of consumer organizations, a request for investigation with the Federal Trade Commission asking the FTC to investigate and bring enforcement action against The Topps Company, Inc., a candy company, for violating the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) by collecting and disclosing photos and screen names from children under the age of thirteen through social media.
Topps is a leading candy manufacturer in the US and makes, among other candies, the iconic lollipop Ring Pop. It operates the child-directed website Candymania to market its candies to children (see below). In spring 2014, Topps ran a contest called #RockThatRock. The premise of the contest was that children would take photos of themselves "rocking" their Ring Pop and upload them to Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram with the term "#RockThatRock." Use of the hashtag created a searchable catalog of all social media posts that contained the hashtag. Topps used that catalog to choose certain photos to put into a music video with the tween band R5.
Topps released the music video in June to Candymania and YouTube. The video has been viewed nearly 900,000 times. It includes eighty pictures from the contest, many of which show children that are clearly under the age of thirteen. Topps has continued to use of the photos children submitted even after the contest was over. For example, each Friday, Topps posts a picture along with a screen name on the Ring Pop Facebook page, in a promotion it calls "#RockThatRock Friday."
Topps' actions were brought to IPR's attention by the Center for Science in the Public Interest. Camille Fischer, a third year law student in IPR, investigated and drafted the request for investigation. The request alleges that Topps violated, and continues to violate, COPPA in several ways. The COPPA rule prohibits the operators of websites directed to children from collecting, using, or disclosing children's personal information without giving notice to parents about these practices and obtaining advance, verifiable parental consent. During and after the #RockThatRock contest, Topps collected two types of personal information from children, photographs and online contact information, by encouraging its child users to go to social media and upload pictures of themselves the hashtag #RockThat Rock. Topps collected this personal information without giving any notice to parents about what would be collected and how it would be used. It also made not effort to obtain advance, verifiable consent from parents.
While Topps has denied that it violated the COPPA Rule, it is important to understand that the COPPA Rule was recently amended to prevent an operator of a child-directed website (such as Candymania) from using third party services to collect information from children on that operator's behalf. Thus, Topps cannot get out of complying with the COPPA Rule by outsourcing the collection of data from its children users to third parties such as Facebook and Twitter. Moreover, even though these social media services are not intended for use by children, many children do in fact use them. This complaint gives the FTC the opportunity to enforce its recent changes to the COPPA Rule and to protect children in the ever-changing privacy landscape.
IPR's request for investigation has been covered by media outlets, including The New York Times, The Hollywood Reporter, MediaPost, and multiple consumer advocacy blogs. Angela Campbell, director of IPR's Communications and Technology Section, was featured in MediaPost stating: "You can't get out of COPPA by outsourcing the collection of data." Eric Null, clinical teaching fellow at IPR, was also quoted in The Hollywood Reporter discussing his expectations for the complaint.
Ten advocacy groups signed onto the complaint including, The Center for Digital Democracy, American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Campaign for a Commercial Free Childhood, The Center for Science in the Public Interest, Consumer Action, Consumer Federation of America, Consumer Watchdog, Consumers Union, The Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity, and the United Church of Christ Office of Communication, Inc.. IPR has strong ties with many of these groups, and has filed numerous comments and complaints on their behalf.

IPR Ensures Broadcast Programs Remain Accessible to Deaf and Hard of Hearing Individuals
The Institute for Public Representation scored a victory for deaf and hard of hearing individuals last week when the Federal Communications Commission required a programmer to provide closed captions.
The FCC's order found that Curtis Baptist Church, which airs an hour-long worship program every Sunday on WJBF-TV in Augusta, Georgia, had sufficient financial resources to pay for closed captions. Curtis Baptist Church had filed a petition with the FCC seeking a waiver of the closed captioning requirements, arguing that captioning would be economically burdensome.
Under the Communications Act and FCC rules, all programming broadcast on television must be captioned. The rules allow for exemptions to the captioning requirements, however, in various situations or if a programmer claims that captioning would be economically burdensome.
IPR's client Telecommunications for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, Inc. opposed the economically burdensome petition filed by Curtis Baptist Church along with dozens of other petitions filed by other programmers. Last spring, IPR students and a staff attorney drafted the opposition to Curtis Baptist Church on behalf of TDI. Numerous other groups advocating for deaf and hard of hearing individuals also signed on to IPR's opposition to Curtis Baptist Church.
In the opposition, IPR argued that Curtis Baptist Church had incredible financial resources that would allow it to pay for its captioning expenses without suffering an economic burden.
In the order issued last week, the FCC largely agreed with IPR's opposition. In analyzing the petition, the FCC compared Curtis Baptist Church's quoted captioning expenses against its financial resources. Documents provided to the FCC showed that Curtis Baptist Church had profits of $317,550 in 2011 and $437,293 in 2012, compared to estimated captioning costs of $26,000 annually.
The FCC determined that because Curtis Baptist Church's profits far outstripped its estimated captioning costs, captioning would not be economically burdensome. As a result, Curtis Baptist Church will have to begin captioning its programming by March 2015.
The decision against Curtis Baptist Church is the third order from the FCC this year finding that it would not be economically burdensome for particular programmers to provide closed captions. Because the programs must now be captioned, the FCC's decision ensures that deaf and hard of hearing individuals will be able to access more content broadcast on television.

Police link fentanyl to three deaths in Addison CountyFebruary 06,2014Staff Report
BURLINGTON - Health and public safety officials are warning heroin users that product sold as heroin and packaged in the same manner as heroin may instead contain pure fentanyl or fentanyl-laced heroin.
The Vermont Department of Health reported Thursady afternoon it has just confirmed the cause of three deaths in Addison County in January to be overdoses from pure fentanyl. Fentanyl is an opioid drug that is up to 50 times more powerful than heroin, and much deadlier.
"Heroin users may not know they are shooting up fentanyl, or they may not know just how deadly it is," said Health Commissioner Dr. Harry Chen. "Even a very small amount of pure fentanyl, just a few grains, can stop your breathing and kill."
Fentanyl generally is used intravenously in hospitals to treat pain.
Police said this week they are trying to develop information about the packaging source and distribution of the drug.MORE IN This Just In

Re: certain keys stopped working in response to anne062
Try resetting resetting the PMU?
If that doesn't work, then it sounds to me like a faulty keyboard.
You will require a replacement. They are easy to replace and cheap to buy on places like eBay.
replacing them is a simple pull out plug situated under the RAM slot under the keyboard. depending on what model of iBook you have.
http://www.ifixit.com/Device/iBook has guides on how to fix parts like keyboards.
it's simple enough to do yourself.
Best of luck

Re: certain keys stopped working in response to Knucklesmac
Hello Thank you for replying.
I did as you suggested re the PMU - see what I did below, but I'm guessing it didn't work b/c the date never changed back to reset as they suggested it would.

Re: certain keys stopped working in response to anne062
The keyboard is a wearing part. The circuit path connection between several keys of your keyboard broke. Try to get a used keyboard on ebay or from other sellers for your iBook model. There are G3 and G4 iBooks and 12" or 14" models so you have to pick the right one - some keyboards are interchangeable between different models .

DH: (ARMA) Development Unraveled: News http://dev.withsix.com/ 2015-06-29T00:16:28+00:00 DH: (ARMA) Development Unraveled Redmine Insurgency - Insurgency 3 closed Alpha testing http://dev.withsix.com/news/804 2015-06-29T00:16:28+00:00 Jastreb
Finally we are at the point where we can say that Insurgency 3 is running stable and is in preparations and final tweaking before going public.

But, before this happens, we need to do some stress testing. We decided not to publish it before we are assured it is stable enough, and for that we need you to test it and provide feedback.

Ok so where are the files, some might ask. There are no files, it is not public yet.

Anyone interested in closed alpha testing please contact me or Ruthberg in order to obtain files.

Please keep in mind that we need stress testing and that means we need this to be played in private massive MP sessions, with 30+ players in order to get the performance results.

We will need your server/client rpt (without private info of course), your server configuration files, numbers of players, issues occurred, and brief description of events.

There is no issue tracker yet for this since its not published but we will take notes you provide.

You can sign up here as well by commenting on this post, and stating how many players you can gather for the testing.

Thank you!
 Insurgency - Welcome to our new developers http://dev.withsix.com/news/803 2015-06-27T17:53:08+00:00 Jastreb
Every since I took over this project I have been in constant struggle, trying to find the right people which will help make this mission shine as it used to be in now as previously announced EOL Arma2, which we all loved so much.

The struggle has given the result, and as always as it is with life, it comes when you least expect it.

So please welcome our new developers, Outlawz7 and Ruthberg which have made a great progress, rewriting this mission from ground zero, leaving nothing behind, ruthlessly squashing bugs and creating new experience for generations to come.

I will keep things as short as possible and just say that very soon community will have a new mission to play, reviving some old memories, since we have striven to make every core feature from arma 2 version work in arma 3 ( minus civilians sorry ) out of the box. As a bonus, mission will be hosted on Github, and will be open source, so anyone can fork and build it up for his own needs. However it will have some rights reserved, but nothing to worry about.

More about it when its done, but as I said it should not take too long.

Current status:

A3 version has its code base rewritten from scratch, and we are adding some old features;

Thanks for reading.

 Insurgency - Fireball has left the Battlefield, project ressurection http://dev.withsix.com/news/802 2015-03-24T12:25:35+00:00 Jastreb
Why not revive Insurgency? Anyone interested and willing to contribute *contact me , I would love to hear your ideas.

My intention is to port/rework entire mission and make it work in Arma3 as it used to work in A2CO/ACE, and make it as close as possible to **Project Reality original insurgency.

We can make this a joint effort and perhaps start something new here.

For a start, entire code base needs to be redone and new mechanisms implemented. ALICE and SILVIE are gone, UPS from Kronzky needs to be updated, AI spawning/caching needs to be looked into. No FAS/BC module so we needs a workaround for medical treatment, wounding, and revival. AGM or XMS2 comes to mind, but I would love to keep mod dependency on the very low level.

We also need a banner and a few cool textures for the mission, so dont hesitate to make one, and send it my way.

In the end we can make it a join effort of the award winning Project Reality team and release it under a PR label (see PR Forum topic).

Fireball left the battlefield, pogoman is long gone, I dont know where Kol9yn is, but Ive spoken to Fireball and he handed over entire project to me. So lads, lets get this done.

For a start I need coders to join me, so we can make a base code up and running in A3. Then we can work on other systems. Intention is to make this a huge TvT mission, but I would like to have a Coop version also for the ones not liking PvP elements.

Current status:

A3 version is broken and not working (made in Alpha days);

A2 version reaches EOL and will not be updated;

Thanks for reading.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Rick Adelman's path to 1,000 career coaching victories didn't begin when he was thrust into the interim head coaching job with the Portland Trail Blazers in 1989. It started on a snowy night in Denver some 30 years ago, a few hours after the Blazers lost to the Nuggets. Adelman was an assistant under Jack Ramsay then, and the championship-winning head coach was distraught after watching his team drop the game. "I still remember Jack Ramsay, walking with him for like five miles in Denver when it was cold and snowing," Adelman said. "He just wanted to walk. I've never seen a guy so down. The next day he was at the airport like nothing had happened. He was slapping players on the back, talking to them real positive. I thought boy he was really so down last night." Adelman made a habit out of accompanying Ramsay on his post-loss walks. There wasn't much conversation involved, which won't come as a surprise to those who know Adelman well.

I have a custom little "view" engine made in T4. Basically, what it does is take "static" HTML files with special directives and spits out something like:
StringBuilder output...
output.Append("<html> my code blah");
output.append("more code");
return output.ToString();
Of course, there is more to it than that, but that's the gist. It takes a HTML file and generates a plain-old-C#-class.
I really like it this way because I can have statically-typed views. Unfortunately, this appears to be a bit slow. My problem in particular is that I have a
index view that multiple contains
blog entry views, So basically the same basic string ends up getting built, just with a few different pieces of text here and there based on the parameters provided.
Anyway, I'm wondering if there is any way to speed up this process at all. Is there really anything faster than StringBuilder for this?
Also, don't worry about "unclean" code. Because I use T4 to generate these view classes, I can have some pretty hack-ish code and it doesn't matter a whole lot because I'm only writing it once basically.

Life Drawing exercise
June 14, 2015
These drawings weren't made to be works of art. These are demonstration drawings done as part of the Life Drawing classes I teach at Margate Adult Education Centre and at The Sidney Cooper Gallery, in Canterbury. They are 15-20 second drawings of two repeated poses (each pose held for three times). The students get a minute or 30 seconds for each pose. There are various reasons for doing this drawing exercise, and I'd need to write a very long essay to put them all into words. Here are a few thoughts about this particular drawing exercise.
Everything changes. This exercise acknowledges that fact that we draw within a continual state of flux and change. The model resumes each of the poses three times but each time there will be a subtle changes in the model's position. This is inevitable. Even if it was humanly possible for the model to re-occupy the exact-same position each time, you (the person drawing) will have changed ever so slightly as time moves on: we are not quite the same person as we were a moment ago and drawing can make us more aware of this. You get three goes at drawing each of the two poses. You might notice something different each time and you might want to draw something different each time. There isn't time to rub out and start again. There isn't time to finish a picture. In any case, the person you are drawing isn't a picture: they are present and in company with you for a short period of time. You must pay attention to what is present. You must make decisions and then move to the next moment. Your line is a trace all the little changes of mind as it made its nervous way across the surface of the paper. Your line has its little 'life-story' (of beginning somewhere and changing and coming to an end). As you make your mark you will notice that parts of your line 'agree' with what you are finding in front of your eyes and other parts of your line loses that that connection. Let it be and start a new line. Sometimes you'll make a good line.
I've posted some other images on my facebook page as well (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Roy-Eastland/1495390357351370?ref=hl#!/pages/Roy-Eastland/1495390357351370).

Article in The Jackdaw art magazine
May 1, 2015
I've had an article published in the 'Easel Words' section of the May/June edition of The Jackdaw magazine. The art critic, Laura Gascoigne, saw my work in the 'Traces' exhibition at Millennium and asked me to write something about my work for the Jackdaw art magazine. This is what I wrote:
Roy Eastland: I make drawings.
I've been working on an ongoing series of small silverpoint drawings of heads. They were exhibited in a solo show at Millennium St Ives, Cornwall, at the end of 2014. The drawings are based on photo booth and bus pass images of my mum. Most of these photographs were never actually used for bus passes because they captured the unflattering mistimed moments between the automatically-timed camera flashes. They remind me of familiar facial expressions and moods. My drawings are based on these images but they are really about the presence of a person and about a few, otherwise unnoticed, moments of a life.
I've fallen in love with the archaic and labour-intensive medium of silverpoint. Silverpoint drawings are made by drawing a point of silver wire across a prepared surface. A silverpoint line is actually the trace of a chemical reaction caused by the touch of the metal point on the gesso-primed surface. The drawings are done on boards coated in layers of gesso made from rabbit skin glue, chalk and zinc white (the preparation of these boards takes a long time and is almost a craft in it self). The portraits are twice the size of the heads in original photo booth images (approximately 5cm x 5cm). The gesso surfaces are drawn on with the silverpoint and scratched into with etching needles, scalpel blades and sandpaper. The drawings gradually emerge through a repeated process of loss and remaking. The process mimics certain aspects of the way memories are formed over time and the way stories survive and are passed on. The final version of each drawing shows the traces of earlier, and different, versions of the same image. Each of the drawings contains a block of hand-written text (made up of lines of remembered speech and familiar stories). These sentences are repeatedly scratched away and rewritten and so become fragmented and hard to follow. Certain words, phrases and fragments of stories remain more strongly present in the drawings as a consequence of their repeated re-writing; even so, their presence is always fragile.
The delicacy of silverpoint makes it an appropriate medium for an art about presence, trace and memory. Silverpoint lines cannot be rubbed out but the surface on which they are drawn can be scratched away. When freshly made, silverpoint lines are a mid-tone grey but they slowly turn a warm grey-brown as they continue to oxidise over time. This slow, subtle and ongoing change is also suggestive of the presence of the passing of time. Silverpoint is a gentle medium: pressing the point harder will not make the line darker or its presence any stronger.
I make drawings. It's what I'm most interested in and it's what I do. Drawing, for me, is an affectionate act of paying careful attention to the presence of things. Whenever anyone asks me what kind of art I do I can never give a one line answer; the best I can come up with is that I draw.

Solo show at Millennium in St Ives
October 27, 2014
I've been given a small solo show at Millennium St Ives. I'm not going to be able to get down there to see it but the Millennium gallery will make a video tour of the show and so I'll get to take a virtual walk around the show once they've posted that on their website (here's a link to the gallery site: http://www.millenniumgallery.co.uk/traces/royeastland.htm ).
The show is called 'Traces' and it consists of three small solo shows of artists' drawings. The other artists are: Sax Impey and Peter Randall-Page. It continues until the 25th November.
See/'like' my facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Roy-Eastland/1495390357351370?ref=hl
My work in this show consists of eleven drawings. Eight of these are portrait drawings and three of them could be described as landscape drawings.
The 'landscape' drawings are small, no bigger than postcards, and are about Arromanches, Normandy, in 1944. More specifically they are about my memories of my dad's memories of being in Normandy in 1944. Their starting point is a small collection of postcards and tiny photographs of the town which were brought back as souvenirs. As is typical of a lot of my work, these pieces come about through repeated re-drawing. They are about memory located in a particular place.
The portraits (and their hand-written blocks of text) are done in silverpoint on gesso. The starting point for these portraits are photo booth images of my mum taken in the 1980s and the 1990s. The work is about presence. I think, perhaps, all of my artwork is about presence. Photo booth images record moments spent alone with ourselves. The old photo booths used to give you a set of four pictures and you would use the least-bad ones. Sometimes they capture moments when the automatic flash photograph was miss-timed. Such images sometimes reveal facial expressions that are much more interesting than the properly posed ones. This is the case with the images I've used as reference for these drawings. I could go into great detail about each of these drawings but I would rather leave the viewers to make up their own minds about them.
I showed four of these in a Drawing show at LIMBO, Substation, in Margate and it was interesting to listen to what others made of them. Unfortunately, I'm not going to have the time or the money to get down to St Ives to chat to people about them. Photographic reproductions don't give you the half of what is really present in these drawings (I've yet to find a way to photograph silverpoint drawings) and so I hope people get to see these for real and to spend some time with them. I'm very excited about them being on show at Millennium St Ives.
Life Room
September 12, 2014
Here are some pictures of Margate Adult Education Centre. The Margate Adult Education Centre is right in the town centre, on the corner of Hawley Square (a pretty Georgian-period Square with some lovely old trees on the green).
I teach Life Drawing here on Wednesday mornings and Thursday evenings. I also teach a few all-day sessions here and people come from as far away as London and Essex to come to them. I love it, and I love teaching in this building. It was built in 1929 and was opened, as 'The Thanet School of Art', in 1931. It became an Adult Education Centre (known then as 'Hilderstone') in the 1970s and has been used for Kent Adult Education classes ever since.
Life Drawing has been practiced in this very same 'Life Room' for 83 years!
Hardly anyone knows about the place.
I've posted some more pictures of the place on my facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Roy-Eastland/1495390357351370?ref=hl
Anyone interested in coming along should contact the centre (01843256220) or go to the Thanet section of the Kent Adult Education website (www.kentadulteducation.co.uk).

'SUBJECT TO CHANGE', the Drawing exhibition at LIMBO Arts in Margate, has just come to an end. It gave me the chance to show my most recent work, to discuss the work and to look forward to my small solo show, at Millennium St Ives, in the autumn. Thank you to Daniella Turbin, Selina Bonelli and LIMBO for having my work in the show. Here is another one of the four silverpoint drawings I had in the show. I've posted a video of it on youtube and on my 'Roy Eastland' facebook page.
Contemporary Drawing exhibition in Margate

Exhibition: 'St Ives joins West Bay'
May 20, 2014
'East Kent Daily Time Slip' is one of the series of small drawings relating to my memories of my dad's memories of Normandy in 1944. There would always be a stock of 'time slips' on the mantelpiece along with 'the biro' (which was always there). Dad worked on the buses and 'time slips' were little sheets of paper printed with columns and with the words: 'East Kent Daily Time Slip' across the top. They were made for recording working hours on East Kent buses, but at home they were for writing notes and for drawing on. I got to know the view of Arromanches from the sea through seeing it being drawn (a straight biro-blue line for the sea; above it, another line which dipped in the middle to represent the cliffs and the town; and there was a building to the left with the pointed roofs, the water tower, something on the hill to the right, and the place to one side of the middle which had to be destroyed to make space for the tanks and trucks get through …and so on).
In common with the other drawings in this series, this drawing has been repeatedly re-worked. The central image is of a wave hitting the seafront at Arromanches. Its starting point was a tiny photograph of the storm-battered seafront which was, presumably, taken before the war. It was one of the souvenir pictures he brought back with him (along with a tiny photograph taken from the high ground to the East and a handful of pre-war postcards.
I've repeatedly re-drawn this picture to understand and imagine this place which I know through stories and memories of simple drawings done to show what it was like.
It will be on show, along with other, related, drawings, in: 'St Ives joins West Bay' at The Old Timberyard, West Bay in Dorset (from 24th May until the 8th June 2014). http://www.theoldtimberyard.com/
I've posted something about it on my facebook page as well: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Roy-Eastland/1495390357351370?ref=hl#!/pages/Roy-Eastland/1495390357351370
