ConquestOfThePlanetOfTheMulroneycakesNov 29, 2002I've got one of those - a Catholic background - though it is in the background. So I, too, knew from where it was coming. But I found it just that little too oppressively bleak and hopeless, and I feel that far too many people would feel the same. Hence the low score. It is technically a good film, there's no mistaking...but by GOD it's depressing.
JimW.Apr 30, 2002From a working class Catholic British background myself, I found McGovern struck a lot of chords with this script, the acting shone, and the intelligent and nuanced address of Depression politics was as good as we can hope to see.

Director Frears, in a radical shift from "High Fidelity," again (as in "Dangerous Liaisons") shows he's a master of period detail and subtle storytelling -- and the performances couldn't be more on the money.
Frears makes every note count for a lot in this beautifully gauged microcosm of big emotions expressed in small gestures.
Ultimately grim, Liam is ripe in humanity --and even comedy.

FRANKFORT, Ky. — House Speaker Greg Stumbo called Tuesday for lawmakers to support legislation aimed at curbing prescription drug abuse despite opposition from the Kentucky Medical Association.
Stumbo cited research that suggests doctors are prescribing high doses of painkillers that are being abused by addicts, many of whom are dying from overdoses. In Kentucky, more people die from drug overdoses than car wrecks, forcing lawmakers to take a serious look at legislation that would make it easier for police and prosecutors to identify unscrupulous doctors.
"It is a reasonable, fair and much needed law that will encourage doctors to ensure that these powerful drugs are used in appropriate cases and not freely given out and diverted to the black market," he said in a memo to lawmakers.
Lawmakers are scheduled to reconvene in Frankfort on Thursday for the final day of this year's legislative session. The prescription drug bill is one of several matters on the agenda.
Under the legislation, all doctors would be required to use the prescription monitoring system, known as KASPER. It also would require that pain management clinics be owned by physicians licensed in Kentucky. That's an effort to root out "pill mills" run by operators who have little or no medical expertise but are doling out massive amounts of painkillers.
Stumbo's memo was in response to a KMA letter circulated over the weekend that opposed putting the attorney general's office in charge of monitoring the prescribing practices of Kentucky physicians.
Dr. Shawn Jones, president of the Kentucky Medical Association, said in the letter that physicians support closing "illegitimate pain clinics" and the proposed requirement that they be owned by doctors.
But Jones said they do not support moving the drug monitoring system to the attorney general's office from the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services.
Jones said the Kentucky Medical Association is concerned about "highly sensitive personal medical information regarding individual Kentuckians" being available to employees in the attorney general's office and to law enforcement personnel.
"Access to such data should be limited to government agencies charged with public health, not law enforcement," Jones said.
Jones also objected to what he called a "provider tax" that was originally in the legislation, taken out, then put back in. The legislation would allow the attorney general's office to institute a $50 a year fee on physicians to cover the cost of operating and maintaining the prescription monitoring system.
"Drug abuse is a societal problem, one not created by physicians," Jones wrote. "While the KMA supports efforts to combat abuse, it is wholly inappropriate to single out physicians as the source of funding for a governmentally mandated program such as KASPER."
Jones also said a provision that requires all physicians to use the drug-monitoring system not just for painkillers but also for anti-anxiety medications may push some doctors to stop prescribing such medications.
"Some people may claim that is a good thing, but when access to care for those in need becomes limited, that opinion will change rapidly," he wrote. "We cannot ignore the collateral damage and unintended consequences attendant to such mandates."
The legislation is House Bill 4.

The 4000 English Words Essential for an Educated Vocabulary
In this age of mass communication (both digital and otherwise), people often only know us only by the words we use. Make sure you know the right words to always finish out on top!
English offers perhaps the richest vocabulary of all languages, in part because its words are culled from so many languages. It is a shame that we do not tap this rich source more often in our daily conversation to express ourselves more clearly and precisely.
There are of course thesauruses but they mainly list common words. Other vocabulary books list difficult, esoteric words that we quickly forget or feel self-conscious using. However, there is a bounty of choice words between the common and the esoteric that often seem be just on the tip of our tongue. Vocabulary 4000 brings these words to the fore.
Whenever possible, one-word definitions are used. Although this makes a definition less precise, it also makes it easier to remember. Many common words appear in the list of words, but with their less common meanings. For example, the common meaning of champion is ˇ°winner.ˇ± A less common meaning for champion is to support or fight for someone else. (Think of the phrase ˇ°to champion a cause.ˇ±) This is the meaning that would be used in the list.
As you read through the list of words, mark any that you do not know with a check mark. Then when you read through the list again, mark any that you do not remember with two checks. Continue in this manner until you have learned the words.
There are four types of quizzes interspersed in the word list: Matching, Antonyms, Analogies, and Sentence Completions. The Matching quizzes, review words that were just introduced. All the other quizzes contain words from any part of the list.

Ah, Josh, Air America has been talking about this little fact for nearly two weeks. (Even fart joke lady Stephanie Miller has covered it) But welcome to the party, even though you are a little late.
Doesn't it seem that something like this should be covered in depth by the major news outlets? I also heard this a couple of weeks ago on Air America and Keith Olbermann and just can't wrap my head around why this isn't a lead story on the NBC, CBS and ABC nightly news broadcasts? It must be that notorious 'liberal media bias' I always hear about.
Maybe Bush meant September 11 1973, when Salvador Allende's government was overthrown.

You may remember that he was sentenced to six years in federal prison for it.

Voltage clamp measurements reveal important insights into the activity of membrane ion channels. While conventional voltage clamp systems are available for laboratory studies, these instruments are generally unsuitable for more rugged operating environments. In this study, we present a non-invasive microfluidic voltage clamp system developed for the use under varying gravity levels. The core component is a multilayer microfluidic device that provides an immobilisation site for Xenopus laevis oocytes on an intermediate layer, and fluid and electrical connections from either side of the cell. The configuration that we term the asymmetrical transoocyte voltage clamp (ATOVC) also permits electrical access to the cytosol of the oocyte without physical introduction of electrodes by permeabilisation of a large region of the oocyte membrane so that a defined membrane patch can be voltage clamped. The constant low level air pressure applied to the oocyte ensures stable immobilisation, which is essential for keeping the leak resistance constant even under varying gravitational forces. The ease of oocyte mounting and immobilisation combined with the robustness and complete enclosure of the fluidics system allow the use of the ATOVC under extreme environmental conditions, without the need for intervention by a human operator. Results for oocytes over-expressing the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) obtained under laboratory conditions as well as under conditions of micro- and hypergravity demonstrate the high reproducibility and stability of the ATOVC system under distinct mechanical scenarios.

Hello. I am new to everything. I have no formal knowlege of css or php or html or any of it. Nonetheless, I decided to play around with wp-layout.css for my site: http://www.stumplane.us/wordpress/
I have been referring to the "wp-layout.css explained" tutorial by Nuclear Moose which has been a great help. But I am having a problem.
My content is filling the whole width of the screen, and the menu comes in on top of it and covers up the text on the right. This problem does not seem to be browser specific (the same thing happens in Firefox and IE.) I've read two other posts here on similar but different issues but I was still unable to solve my problem.
The only thing I have modified is wp-layout.css. I was hoping that someone might have a look, and tell me what bonehead newbie mistake I made. I'd certainly appreciate it.

Skip to comments.Some kids with severe autism may "bloom" out of disorder
Posted on 04/02/2012 1:17:25 PM PDT by SeekAndFind
Although most children with autism keep that diagnosis through teenage years and beyond, a new study suggests some kids might just "bloom" out of the developmental disability.
The study found about one in ten children diagnosed with severe forms of autism may shed many symptoms of the disorder by the time they turn 8-years-old.
The study, published in the April 2 issue of Pediatrics, examined the behavioral development of nearly 7,000 children with autism who were born in California between 1992 and 2001. Researchers were looking to track each child's development when it came to communication and social and repetitive behaviors until they were 14 years old.
What did they find? Some children improved rapidly, especially when it came to communication and social development. But the researchers also found other children with autism developed much slower, and did not show significant improvement in these areas by the time they became teens. Most improvements in autism symptoms occurred before the child turned 6, and children's repetitive behavior trajectories appeared to remain stable across the board, the researchers said.
However one finding jumped out: Almost 10 percent of kids, who the researchers called "bloomers", improved especially quickly and moved from "severely affected" to "high functioning," by age 8, as if they bloomed out of the disorder.
"We were really pleased that there is this group, which is relatively small but significant, who are able to improve so quickly," study author Christine Fountain, a postdoctoral researcher at Columbia University, told HealthDay. "It's going to provide a hopeful message for parents [of autistic children]. We need more research to find exactly what's going on to make these children bloom."
The researchers determined children with autism may display one of six different development patterns when it comes to their behavior. What makes children with autism develop in such different ways compared to one another? The researchers weren't certain, but said children on the highest trajectories tended to have more educated, wealthier white parents. Children whose parents had the lowest socioeconomic status were much less likely to bloom, compared with advantaged families.
Not my son, unfortunately.
Access to treatment which isn't covered by insurance.
What an interesting article. We have an autistic son as well, and he has improved.
He stated improving when he was about 3. His doc put him on an anti-anxiety medication, and it helped him stop worrying and being scared of everything. It wasn't magic, but it helped alot.
With speech therapy, occupational therapy, and sign language, he improved dramatically. He was very severe, and also tested mentally retarded due to severe communication delays.
Choose Ye This Day, I hope and pray you and your family and your precious son will continue to fight autism. I know it is life-sapping to care for a child with autism.
New research showing autism may actually be lyme disease.
I think that there are different degrees of autism, and maybe even different types.
I used to know a woman who had two autistic little boys. She told me that doctors told her that autism was more common among families where one or both of the parents were an engineer.
Yes, when the kids turn 18 and their parents no longer get what are called "crazy checks", then and only then, will the kids diagnosed with autism of parental convenience have any chance at all.
That's interesting because I have two autistic sons, and I am an Engineer, but thankfully I a educated, and White, so mine should just automatically snap out of it when they are about 8 years old... What a relief, oh the joys of being a privileged, educated white man (sarc) (what a load of rubbish)
How strange that CBS should publish a story that smacks of classism in relation to medical treatment when the Supreme Court is debating the constitutionality of a socialized medicine law.
What a strange coincidence.
I shouldnt need a sarcasm tag on this but better not take any chances.
The best science indicates that autistic children have 67% more brain cells than normal adults and that those cells are responsible for the "white noise" that autistic children are burdened with. All vertebrate neonates exterminate half of their brain cells during their early maturation process. Glutamate is believed to be the absent ingredient in facilitating the extermination process. it may be possible to normalize brain function in autistic children simply by optimizing the absorption of glutamate into the brain.
My son was diagnosed with Asperger's after at age 6. He spend his first 3 years in a Soviet orphanage. He had a significant auditory processing disorder and other issues from sensory deprivation during his formative years.
I guess he was a bloomer. We tried all kinds of "common sense" approaches to no avail at home. What made a huge difference for us was one year of pediatric occupational therapy by some people who really knew what they were doing. He also did something called Samonas music therapy for the auditory processing disorder. We learned he was really not hearing our voices as much more than shrieks and hisses.
Thank God he was relatively bright and figured out how to read an write, because that opened up some wonderful doors for us to communicate with one another while he was "relearning" how to hear properly. One wonderful bonus of the music therapy was that he became an accompishlised violinist!
Today he's doing fine. He took one year of college but decided he HAD to fulfill a lifetime dream of joining the Marines, (He promises me he'll finish college later.) Most people would never know he had any difficulty as a child at all. He's just fine. They love him in the Marines, because he never gives up until he accomplishes his goals.
We suspect my 22 month old grandson is autistic. He goes for more testing May 1.
I think that there are a whole lot of unidentified Aspies out there, who are just termed, nerdy engineers.
I also think that it is hereditary. We're pretty sure my brother is one and my nephew, as well. My brother was a terror to live with, actually made my life miserable as child. He' s done ok as an adult. If these kids are smart enough, they learn enough social skills to survive.
Social skills, manners and respect can be taught, even if it has to be feigned. I don' t know how old your kids are, but I have read that those "my baby can read" videos work very well with autistic kids and give them a form of communication that can open doors to other things. There must be something like them for older kids as well.
We have gone through years of speech therapy, ABA therapy, vitamins, medications, injections, picture communication, iPad communication. Nothing has helped. Nothing.
I am overjoyed for those whose children are able to escape this life sentence, but at the same time we wish we could see some small amount of improvement.
The only thing that will help is divine intervention. Our son is an adult now, turning 19 next month, and he is a handful. We love him dearly, but it's hard not to wonder for a few fleeting moments, "Why him?"
Glutamate has been fingered as the cause of Fibromyalgia. Too much v. too little; well just enough it OK.
There's nothing we haven't checked out at this point. We've been at this for a decade and a half. Some autistic kids have lots of digestion problems and eliminating gluten works wonders with them, as well as some meds. Our son doesn't have any digestive problems, so those "solutions" don't work for him.
So sorry to hear that. I can't imagine the lifetime of struggles behind your simple statement.
glutamine is the most common amino acid in whey protein and an item that most of use are deficient in. In the autistic children the glutamate levels in the brain blood are elevated
because the insulin signaling that ushers amino acids into the brain neurons the is deficient.
I wish your son would improve as well. Our son was very aggressive and quite violent at times, and it was scary. Our case worker sat us down one day and said that someday he would be a very large, very strong autistic man, and would likely have to be placed in an institution for his and our safety.
I was bereft of hope and happiness. I wanted him to stay small forever, so I could always keep him with me.
I know you love your Son very much, but I have heard many people say autism is the hardest developmental disability to deal with. I think about families who care for their autistic children every day, and how hard it is.
Our pastor told us our Son was God's child, and God had the Gates of heaven open for him since the day of his birth. That was the only thing that kept me going, many days.
The person in the original study was the only one who had digestive issues. The others had no digestive issues. They were simply given the same medication. I was only suggesting.
I am new to FR. When I try to send or reply to FReepmail I get a message that the account is too new to use the feature. The name "Matthew" is familiar to me but I am not sure. Also, I am not sure about the "England" connection. If you give to me a link I can look at it to be sure. I'll check with my stepson to see if he still has the link. This issue I related was about 10 years ago. The computer has crashed several times since then so that I no longer have the link. If the stepson has the link I'll be more than happy to send it to you. It is my opinion that parents/grandparents of autistic children and all of the "umbrella" syndromes associated with it should share a camaraderie.
Welcome to Free Republic and thank you for replying. Below is the link
No, muggs. That is not the story to which I referred. The story I had read said that they treated the child with an anti-diarrhea medication. If I remember correctly, it was a non-prescription, over the counter, medication. They continued to give the medication even after the symptoms had disappeared and the autism never returned.
I am awaiting a reply from the stepson to see if he still has the link.
The stepson no longer has that link. All he remembers about the story is that it had to do with a diet without gluten.
Both the stepson and his ex-wife seem to have given up on the situation while we, as grandparents, have not.
Sorry for the confusion and lack of information.

Need some help in setting the column width for the datatable. However, the datatable width does not seem to be uniform.The width of the column in the datatable, seems to vary depending on the column header length. please refer the code below.
<p:column style="text-align: left; width:15px;" >
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText id="SalesHistoryID" value="View Sales History/Forecast"/>
<h:commandLink id="ForecastID" value="View"/>
In the above case, the column header value length 'View Sales History/Forecast' seems to be large and hence the column width also seems to expand depending on the column header text value. Can you please let me know if there is any way to actually maintain uniformity in the column width and that not depend on the column header text value.
In case if the column header text length is too large, is there a way to maintain uniformity in the column width ?? please Assist. Thanks in Advance

Each well is designed differently, with various hazards to impede your journey. Some wells have pizzas that break apart; others contain floating cookies that will sacrifice their delicious lives to stop you from getting to the bottom. Armed with a selection of stones, such as the beefy iron ball and the fragile gem, race as fast as possible to the bottom of each well. Then turn on the StreetPass feature and share your speedy conquests with others!

It has been quite a week and it is only Wednesday! Sunday, members of the League of Women Voters of the City of New York were joined by League members from as far away as Oregon in a colorful and enthusiastic march on climate change. Proudly carrying the League banner, members rallied support for addressing this critical issue.
On Constitution Day, September 17, we commemorate the signing of the U.S. Constitution in 1787. Constitution Day, also known as Citizenship Day, is when we honor our democracy by celebrating our rights and responsibilities as citizens.
National Voter Registration Day is coming! Leagues around the country have kicked their election-season planning into high gear, with a lot of attention paid to plans to make this year's National Voter Registration Day (NVRD) on Tuesday, September 23, the biggest ever! Here are four things we're most excited about for National Voter Registration Day.
I can ask my mom's advice about almost anything, because she's already gone through so many of the things I'm facing for the first time. But because she became a naturalized U.S. citizen just six months before my 18th birthday, we experienced voting for the first time together.
The 2012 election was the first major election in which I could vote. I had turned 19, and I was in my third month as a freshman at Tufts University in Massachusetts. A very politically active campus, the atmosphere was charged in anticipation for Election Day. Excited about learning more about elections, I joined groups on campus that registered students to vote.
I learned about the importance of voting from my parents. Immigrants from Peru, my parents never fail to vote in the elections for their home country. Every five years, they shuttled my brother, sister and me from our small town in Westchester, NY, to New York City so that they could vote in the Peruvian elections. Voting was always a family affair, and an educational one at that!
This spring, approximately 40 volunteer League of Women Voters teams in 14 states participated in our 2014 High School and Community College Voter Registration Project.
Forty-three years ago today on July 1, 1971, Congress ratified the 26th Amendment to the Constitution. The legislation was a victory for our democracy. In lowering the federal voting age from 21 to 18, the 26th amendment drastically expanded our electorate and increased access to the ballot box.
As the weather warms up and schools dismiss for summer break, millions of young Americans are starting a new chapter in their lives.
This Sunday is Mother's Day, a day to reflect upon the important role that mothers play in our lives and the values that they teach us. This Mother's Day, the League of Women Voters is celebrating the crucial ways in which women and mothers help empower millions to participate in our democracy.

I need to remove some old files from a production DB, these files are parts of partitioned table. So, the steps were following - I deleted data that theoretically were kept there by partition function (all data from 2007).
Then I merge partition function for that year:
ALTER PARTITION FUNCTION pfPeriod() MERGE RANGE (2007);
Then, I wanted to remove file and filegroup:
ALTER DATABASE mydatabase REMOVE FILE tbProperty2007
ALTER DATABASE mydatabase REMOVE FILEGROUP fgProperty2007
- all by the book.
I'm getting the error:
The file 'tbProperty2007' cannot be removed because it is not empty.
The filegroup 'fgProperty2007' cannot be removed because it is not empty.
I've done this procedure before (for 2005, 2006) and the reason why files wouldn't remove (for another table) was the index - it was kept in one of the files (I accidentally created index in the partitions of the table). After I recreated index in another filegroup - I could delete file and filegroup without any trouble.
Anyway, this time I recreated indexes in another filegroups, and still - I can't delete the file and filegroup.
So, can anybody give me an idea how can I see the contents of the *.ndf file, or why the file wouldn't delete ? please )
P.S. May be it's a bug of sql server 2012 - I was able to delete files on the sql server 2005, but I can't do it on 2012.

Bringing good manners back
Published: Wednesday, June 24, 2009 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, June 23, 2009 at 7:22 p.m.
Ever wonder which fork to use at the dinner table? Or forget to take your hat off or keep your elbows off the table at any meal?
Those are among the most common mistakes made in dining etiquette, says Darlene Das, a Hendersonville resident whos started a new business called Todays Etiquette.
Through Todays Etiquette, Das hopes to bring proper table manners back to the family table in Henderson County. She offers etiquette training classes to the public.
Often people are dining at the main course using their salad fork, says Das, 47. I think sometimes people are intimidated as to what is right and what is wrong.
Das, a certified etiquette instructor, will offer her next family dining workshop at 12:30 p.m. Sunday at Daddy Ds family restaurant, 411 Seventh Ave. E. The workshop will cover essentials: basic dining skills, proper table setting, rules for taking and exiting your seat at the dining table, how to pass food, and how to use flatwear properly. Shell also go over good table manners, making pleasant conversation and how to really connect with one another to build a happier family.
At the workshop, Das will teach whats known as the American style of dining, which she feels is most important to teach children. The American style involves cutting the food by holding the knife in the right hand and the fork in the left hand. The fork tines pierce the food when cutting, securing it to the plate. A bite of food is then eaten from the fork held in the right hand.
The continental style of dining calls for eating with the fork held in the left hand and the knife in the right. The knife remains in the diners hand throughout the course and is used to lightly move food onto the fork.
Why would Das like everyone to learn proper etiquette?
Etiquette, she says, is all about respecting yourself and others. Its a key skill for successfully interacting with other people.
Etiquette is being able to handle yourself properly in a given situation with manners and respect, Das says. Weve gotten so relaxed in the way we present ourselves.
Student Sharon Hurley, 66, of Flat Rock, fine-tuned her etiquette skills with Das.
Darlene Das is the perfect person to be doing this, Hurley says.
Hurley recently helped Das during etiquette classes she taught to youth at First Baptist Churchs Crosswalk.
She puts her whole body and soul into doing it, Hurley says. Theres no one in town that could do a better job.
Who needs etiquette, anyway?
Smartly dressed with her hair neatly pulled back, Das looks the part of a well-put-together etiquette expert. Her easy-going demeanor quickly puts you at ease and calms any fear of a strict, ruler-slapping-your-hands etiquette coach.
Through Todays Etiquette, Das has helped small businesses update their dress codes and taught prom and holiday etiquette classes.
Hurley took the holiday etiquette course.
I love entertaining and I feel like Im never too old to learn something, Hurley says. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
One of the interesting etiquette tips she learned was the way the napkin should be placed in the lap while dining. It should be folded one time with the fold toward your stomach. When blotting your mouth with the napkin, use the inside of the napkin to avoid getting food particles on your clothes.
Unfortunately some folks think manners and polite etiquette only apply to the wealthy, the president and royalty. Not so, says Das.
Its not your top professionals its everybody, Das says. She decided to offer the family dining workshop after witnessing families eating at restaurants with their children. Shes seen parents jabbering on their phones and adults and children text messaging or playing with other electronic devices.
Theres no communication, no connecting with the family, Das says.
She teaches students age 8 and older. She discovered that children and youth truly want to know how to handle themselves in certain situations as she taught the etiquette course to middle- and high-school students at First Baptist Churchs Crosswalk program.
The need is there, Das says.
She did receive one complaint if you can call it that from those attending her Crosswalk class. The kids wanted her to stay longer.
I teach all the courses with hands-on scenarios, Das says. Its amazing to see the light bulbs going off when people can see the connection in real life.
She had two of her students role-play in a grocery checkout line scenario. One played a customer who was going through the checkout line, completely ignoring the clerk and talking on her cell phone. The other played the clerk. After the scene, Das asked the clerk and customer how they felt. The clerk felt unimportant. The teen playing the customer felt the behavior was rude.
Lesson learned? If youre getting a phone call while youre in the check-out line and its an important one, leave the line. If its not important, dont answer. Bottom line: Dont check out while youre talking on the phone.
Give the clerk the respect, Das says.
Doing so makes interactions pleasant for both people involved. Its easy to spot someone who uses proper manners.
You can tell in their self-confidence how they respect themselves; their self-esteem, Das says. If you practice it at home, it only comes naturally when youre in the public. She teaches fun little sayings to keep learning light. Heres one she taught teens at Crosswalk: As ships sail out to sea, spoon your soup away from thee.
Little things like that is what theyll remember for the rest of their lives, Hurley says.
Das shares another memory tool: Salt and pepper shakers are known to have the perfect marriage. They are never apart, and always passed together.
Decline of good etiquette
Many people have become too busy to take the time to learn or teach good manners, Das says.
Unfortunately in todays world, so often both parents are out trying to make a living and there are some things going untaught at home, Das says. Its become a lost art, it really has.
Its common to see people talking on their cell phones while dining out.
Thats totally disrespectful to other diners at the restaurant, Das says.
At Das home, its a rule that all cell phones be placed on the buffet during dinner not at the table.
They can vibrate until they hit the floor, Das says.
Dining etiquette is essential when going through the interview process for a new job.
Because youre taken out to dinner doesnt mean that you have the job, Das says.
Youre being evaluated on your etiquette and behavior to see how you would handle yourself with clients or employees.
Das, who graduated from the Etiquette and Leadership Institute of Athens, Ga., and the Protocol School of Washington, D.C., in 2008, hopes to offer family etiquette classes once a month. She has earned certificates as a childrens etiquette coach, a professional image coach and as a corporate and international protocol consultant from the Protocol School of Washington, D.C.
She is married to local orthopedic surgeon Dr. Amal Das. She also has a surgical technician degree from Blue Ridge Community College and an associates degree in business administration from the Wheeler School of Business in Pittsburgh. She founded Todays Etiquette in the fall of 2008.
Says Das: I just wanted people to have a better feeling about themselves and know how to present themselves when theyre dining out or communicating with others.
Sundays Family Dining Workshop costs $50 per family (up to six people with additional people costing $10 each) plus the cost of selected meals. Register by calling (828) 243-4581. For more information, visit www.todaysetiquette.com.

#9 Oct 28, 2008
Jasan can you please explain to me why immigrants from asia work hard regardless of whether they are rich or poor, yet polynesians and maoris are violent and cant work properly (recent vineyard issue raised on news). asians never complain about being poor but islanders do, i had this stupid islander women taxi driver once who said to me "why some people got all the money and not me , it not fair," in broken english" i cant imagine an asian taxi driver doing this, they are too busy working and saving. you are a half cast asian-boonga arnt you, that must be confusing, half of you would want to work and the other half would be too busy stabing and laying about, it would be like walking round like a stoke victim with a semi paralysed body would it not ??
Kanzaki, Japan
#10 Oct 28, 2008
You know white trash i dont know if you notice or not but New Zealand has PI`s in Parliment are you in Parliament? what does that tell you? Also PI people are NOT ALL the same just like white people and Asians alike there are hard working ones and there lazy ones who do nothing but scratch thier ass and drink thier piss like you Bill.
Wellington, New Zealand
#11 Oct 28, 2008
Hey..you leave our JaSan alone..get a life..you must be picking on her cause shes so far away...pick on me and i might just come looking 4 u..as 4 making fun of the taxi driver..everything u wrote down is a reflection of how stupid and ignorant you r..i rest my case
Kanzaki, Japan
#12 Oct 28, 2008
Malo Proud.
People like Bill ride taxis driven by Islanders and be all sweet talk and friendly but in reality are two faced pigs.
The good things with Samoans is that we tell it as it is. No pretence. e faga sa`o lava le mea a`ea? LOL...malo Proud aua le popole maumau fua kaimi i tagata pei o Bill LOL.....

how do you know im not associated with parliament ? you dont ? im not sum old bum, im in my early 20's and am more involved in politics than you probably envisage. not all people of any race are perfect, but there is a strong correlation, multiculturalism is a flawed agenda that brings suffering, its human nature, for 100,000 years people have been tribal and conflict with differences is biological, trying to deny this doesnt work as world history shows, countries like finland understand this. its sad when our subconscious instincts work to the detriment of our conscience knowledge that racial tensions are illogical, but you cant fight biology, its like trying to tell people to not want to have sex, or not get retaliate when provoked, its very difficult. dont flag me as racist, im a realist, I understand perfectly if people in tonga and fiji didnt want me living in their country in large numbers because im white, so at least in concise in my views.
North Shore, New Zealand
#14 Oct 28, 2008
tell me why the correlation between PI's and violence is high and asians and working saving is high with much lower crime, go on tell me instead of saying im ignorant and all races have bad people, explain why one minority does so much better than the other financially and socially.
Wellington, New Zealand
#15 Oct 28, 2008
Malo foi JanSan..e sa'o oe le uso..but its people like Bill that makes me wanna puke..hehe..in this day and age its all about perception...if we stand back and let idiots like this continue to stereotype us..then the world will persive us as such...well i've had enough..i wont let anyone perpertuate a load of crab about our people anymore..koikiki foi alu i luga le blood pressure a ea?..
By the way are you anywhere near Osaka University..my brother did Tropical Medicine there a couple of years ago..he said it was one of the best experiences of his life

I know what youre up to..are you by any chance doing a thesis..if u are..go do some proper reseach..this aint the right forum..as 4 u being involved in politics...i know u r..youre in the 'Skin Heads'..or is it the 'Klu Klux Klan"
Kanzaki, Japan
#17 Oct 28, 2008
All ethnic groups do have bad people Bill and your no exception.
There can be many contibuting factors as to why violence is high among PI communities in NZ so you tell me, your in NZ. Without been biased Bill tell me what you have studied or what solid facts you have to explain why the correlation between PI and violence is so high?
Financially and socially? In NZ?
I think Pacific Island people are more social than Asians. Why? Becuase they dont have barriers like Asian people do.
Financially Asian people would be on top but you must understand why Pacific Island people arent as successful. Its not becuase they are lazy stupid and all the descriptions your kind would assume either. If you want to know more you have an advantage your in Ackland go and talk to Samoans Tongans Fijians and then you might begin to see.

ok to be honest i do feel a little guilty now for coming of possibly racist, but truth is I have PI friends who think the same, i have friends of all races but the reality is, if you have a diverse social construct you will have problems, from race to religion diversity breed conflict e.g. lebanon more than 14 waring sects, homogenous countries are the safest by far, notwithstanding corrupt governments etc.. . at the end of the day whats better, being Politically correct and having immgration from different religions and cultures with resulting violence and bloodshed OR keeping things homogenous and safer. most PI's I have met in the islands and students on scholorships are really nice. once they are in the NZ culture though they identify with the maoris and i dont think i need to tell you the results of this social partnership. oh and skin heads and the ku klux klan are ignorant and violent. I would never use violence solve these problems
Wellington, New Zealand
#20 Oct 28, 2008
Yeah right..
Kanzaki, Japan
#21 Oct 29, 2008
Oh, so now your blaming Maori for a few PI`s who commit deviant behaviour becuase they associate with Maori?
Bill you will find Pacific peoples are one of the worlds most nicest people but they are always mislabled or tagged dragged down by negative assuptions from folk like you once a few Samoans or other Island nations people do wrong.
You cannot change NZ its too diverse. Homogenous nations like Japan are safer "ok" but maybe. But what they (homogenous nations) lack in is social skill especially when it comes to foreigners, cannot communicate in English well you get the pic.
Kanzaki, Japan
#22 Oct 30, 2008
Malo uso, no i live in southern Japan on Kyushu dads family is from Fukuoka. Osaka is on Honshu the larger Island to the north. Your brother studied at Osaka University? I hear there are Samoans in Osaka but have not met any would be nice to meet more mums culture. Is your brother still there now?
Ae sa`o foi oe ile maualuga o le toto pe a le balance lelei le ita ma le ata LOL.....

National Briefing | South: Arkansas: Court Voids Judicial Sanction
By Steve Barnes (NYT)
Published: November 21, 2003
The State Supreme Court struck down part of the judicial code as impermissibly vague and voided the sanction that a disciplinary board imposed on an African-American appellate judge who violated the rule. The judge, Wendell L. Griffen of the State Court of Appeals, was admonished by the Judicial Discipline Commission after urging the Black Caucus in the General Assembly to pressure the University of Arkansas to diversify its faculty and administration. The Supreme Court said the panel's action infringed on legitimate free speech. Steve Barnes (NYT)

Holocaust research and commemoration programmes have been hit by the global recession and Israel's security problems.
The global financial crisis has cut donations to the main organisations commemorating the Holocaust in Israel. Yad Vashem in Jerusalem, which opened a new $50m museum four years ago, has now been forced to put on hold some of its main programmes. Among them are the collecting of the names of all the Jews murdered in the Holocaust, which has so far reached three and a half million names, the recording of survivors' testimonies and the compilation of an encyclopedia of Jewish communities.
"These are the most crucial years for recording and preserving the memories of people who sadly, will not be with us in a few more years," says the Director General of Yad Vashem, Avner Shalev. "If we don't do it now for lack of funds, all this information will be lost forever."
Other Holocaust museums in Israel are suffering from lack of funds and have had to lay off staff and cancel renovation plans. The museum commemorating the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising at Kibbutz Yad Mordehai, in the northern Negev, has also been hit by the ongoing conflict around the Gaza Strip. Over the last year few schools were prepared to send students there, while Palestinian rockets were falling, in and around the kibbutz.
Another organisation hurt by the fund-raising slump is March of the Living International, which brings young people from around the world to the concentration camp and ghetto memorials in Poland, every year on Holocaust Memorial Day. Lack of funds this year meant there were no professional singers, actors and presenters at the ceremonies this week and their roles were carried out by volunteers. The high costs of participation in youth delegations to Poland, around $1400 for Israeli high-school students, has caused a five percent drop in the number of Israeli students taking part.

Police officers in Norfolk, Virginia, responded to reports that a lion was on the loose. They urgently contacted the local zoo to see if any of their lions had escaped. But it turned out that the animal which terrified residents was actually a labradoodle named Charles, which had been shaved to look like a lion.

Ms Nelson informed staff of her resignation in an email
yesterday, thanking them for their "work and input" over the
almost four years she had been in the role.
The resignation comes as the polytechnic, which has campuses
in Timaru, Ashburton, Oamaru, Christchurch and Dunedin,
recorded a loss of $1.6 million last year and faced a
projected loss of $2.1 million this year. It was forecasting
328 fewer equivalent full-time students than budgeted for
this year.
It also comes after Tertiary Education Union (TEU) members
last year participated in a vote of no-confidence in her
leadership capabilities.
The vote was prompted by course reforms which threatened the
jobs of up to 20 staff members.
Ms Nelson told the Otago Daily Times that she felt, with a
new investment plan about to be approved by the polytechnic's
council, the time was right to move on.
"After almost four years of change and growth in core
students, I'm proud of the achievements of the polytechnic,
but feel it's time to move on to new challenges.
"I have had tremendous support from council and staff since
2009 and wish the entire polytechnic all the very best for
the future," Ms Nelson said.
TEU southern region organiser Kris Smith said Ms Nelson's
resignation presented the polytechnic with an opportunity to
make a "fresh start" as it faced tough times.
"I think it's an opportunity for the polytechnic to move on
and it opens a range of opportunities for the polytechnic to
look at in terms of moving forward," she said.
Ms Smith said she was confident the polytechnic could get
through its financial difficulties.
Aoraki chairman Kevin Cosgrove said last month the
institution had appointed independent adviser Malcolm Inglis
to look at its business options.
"Aoraki Polytechnic is responding to changes in tertiary
education that require us to focus more on our core
Mr Cosgrove said.
