Hello all,
When using
from __future__ import unicode_literals
in a model file, Django fails to recognize a model referenced by a string and raises a quite obscure error message:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "test.py", line 5, in <module> a = article.Article.objects.get(id=57220255) File "/usr/local/lib/django/django/db/models/manager.py", line 132, in get return self.get_query_set().get(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/local/lib/django/django/db/models/query.py", line 341, in get clone = self.filter(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/local/lib/django/django/db/models/query.py", line 550, in filter return self._filter_or_exclude(False, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/local/lib/django/django/db/models/query.py", line 568, in _filter_or_exclude clone.query.add_q(Q(*args, **kwargs)) File "/usr/local/lib/django/django/db/models/sql/query.py", line 1172, in add_q can_reuse=used_aliases, force_having=force_having) File "/usr/local/lib/django/django/db/models/sql/query.py", line 1060, in add_filter negate=negate, process_extras=process_extras) File "/usr/local/lib/django/django/db/models/sql/query.py", line 1226, in setup_joins field, model, direct, m2m = opts.get_field_by_name(name) File "/usr/local/lib/django/django/db/models/options.py", line 307, in get_field_by_name cache = self.init_name_map() File "/usr/local/lib/django/django/db/models/options.py", line 339, in init_name_map for f, model in self.get_all_related_objects_with_model(): File "/usr/local/lib/django/django/db/models/options.py", line 371, in get_all_related_objects_with_model self._fill_related_objects_cache() File "/usr/local/lib/django/django/db/models/options.py", line 393, in _fill_related_objects_cache if f.rel and not isinstance(f.rel.to, str) and self == f.rel.to._meta: AttributeError: 'unicode' object has no attribute '_meta'

I've attached a patch.

Accepted, but shouldn't the check be isinstance(obj, basestring)? Also, the patch still needs docs and tests.

Yes, you're correct. Fixed!
needs docs
I've added documentation to the diff. Is it sufficient?
and tests
I'm not sure where to put the unittest. Could you help me?

- Needs documentation unset
- Needs tests unset
- Patch needs improvement unset
I've attached a patch (django-unicodely-named-model-field-tests.diff) which fixes the unicode issue and adds a test, but only for foreign key names which will convert cleanly to ascii.
Names which have 'real' unicode characters in them will still fail, but these cause errors in validation.py which are much harder to catch and fix.
I've also spoken directly to Russell, and he claims that a documentation patch isn't necessary for this bug.

Calling all event planners! You're invited to CadmiumCD's 2nd annual users group meeting, July 27th-28th at the Lord Baltimore Hotel in Baltimore, MD. Your mission: learn about new technology and best practices, then gain hands-on experience to harness your event planning super powers.
Ditch the spreadsheets, get your head out of the inbox, and free up your precious time. Manage your conference with confidence and take your events back into your own hands. The CadmiumCD Platform is the only Event Management Software you'll ever need.
Abstract Scorecard™
Expo Floor Plan
Conference Harvester®
Conference Harvester®
With CadmiumCD's event technology software you can collect, organize and distribute information for meetings and events. The complete platform includes twelve separate products that conference and trade show managers can use individually or together to meet the needs of event planners. From abstracts to app, we've got you covered!
It all begins with abstract collection. Once your conference is underway, the call for papers begins. It can take months to collect, review and select speaker papers. CadmiumCD offers a complete abstract collection system that is convenient for authors, planners, and managers.
Your trade show begins and ends with your exhibitors. Create, manage, and sell booth space with the same system that you manage your trade show in. Create sponsorship packages and discounts, track priority points, and invite past exhibitors to participate again.
CadmiumCD's Conference Harvester organizes all speaker data into an intuitive format. Collect speaker biographies, photos, and presentations, in one place. Keep speakers on point by setting task-oriented deadlines. Send emails to custom or template distribution lists to remind them what's left to submit.
Manage booth sales, sponsor options, and company contact information with CadmiumCD's Conference Harvester. View a list of exhibitors, the booths they'll occupy, and their booth payment statuses. Set tasks for exhibitors to complete, collect logos, and write notes for streamlined event management.
Attendees and exhibitors will be glad you chose eventScribe. CadmiumCD will create an online portal where attendees can plan their schedules with the itinerary planner, mark exhibitors they want to visit, and access exhibitor information. Exhibitors can share social media links, speaker and organization descriptions, and presentation files.
CadmiumCD's mobile event app makes it easy for attendees, exhibitors, and speakers to connect. Attendees can access their personal schedules right from the palm of their hand. They can track which exhibitors they've visited, download speaker presentations, and take notes from their smartphone or tablet.
Continuing education is one of the most important aspects of the conference experience. With CadmiumCD's Survey Magnet, attendees can evaluate courses they've taken, review CE credits they've earned, and download certificates. Administrators can view which quizzes were offered and see who has completed their evaluations.
Managing a floor plan has never been easier. CadmiumCD has worked hard to create beautiful, intuitive event floor plans that can be accessed almost anywhere. Exhibitors can purchase booths, upload materials, and add organization information all from the same system. Attendees love that they can view it on the web or on their mobile devices.
Collect and share event posters with CadmiumCD's online ePoster gallery. Educational posters can be added to the eventScribe webpage complete with author credentials and detailed abstracts. The poster gallery is easy to search and navigate, so attendees can quickly find what they're looking for.
Audio, video, presentation files, and other educational materials are completely accessible to attendees on eventScribe after the event is over. CadmiumCD has an A/V team ready and willing to record your conference for easy integration into our system. We even sync audio with slides!
Social media has the power to boost the visibility and engagement for nearly any event. To maximize these results, organizers must have a plan in place to avoid mistakes and increase ROI. Contributor Chase Kohler shares 5 tips for making social media a success at your next event.
The events industry is constantly evolving. Trends in social media and software delegate how members and attendees receive information every day. That valuable data can now be shared between two powerful applications to provide the most seamless experience from beginning to end.
DIY is all the rage lately. There are so many tutorials on Pinterest for projects you can make yourself. Food, clothing, decor. But what about when these projects don't go as expected? We end up with a broken product and all we can do is laugh at ourselves.
Collect, review and select submissions from speakers, authors, and applicants.

I'm working on a jacket (Jalie 2559) made of a medium-weight rayon-poly-lycra stretch woven. The fabric is heavy enough to not be see-through, but light enough to drape well and maintain some degree of structure. Below is a picture of the jacket and skirt (both made of the same type of material) in progress. Hopefully this gives an idea of how the fabric drapes.
I want to include sleeve heads in this jacket as I did in my first (and doomed) attempt at this pattern (shown below).
I've searched the message boards for ideas about thicknesses and couldn't quite find the answer to my question. Which is... How thick should the sleeve head be for this fabric? The brown jacket was made in a thick wool flannel and I used bias strips of polar fleece for the sleeve heads. I have flannel, more polar fleece, hair canvas, self fabric, and fusible sleeve heads (which are not quite as thick as the polar fleece). I suppose I could try all types, but I don't want to stress the armhole by sewing and unpicking the seams. Any thoughts?
Thanks much.

------How is that still a thing?
------No sewing project is ever a complete success nor a total failure.
jadamo00 and nancy2001: Do you pre-shrink the batting first?
Here are a couple of pictures of the two samples basted in: one is the fleece, the other is the cotton flannel. The sleeves aren't set; they're pinned at the shoulder point seam. Can you tell which is which?

Billboard Reveals the 2012 Power 100
Billboard found something else that Irving Azoff, executive chairman of Live Nation, can sit atop: In the January 28 issue of the magazine, Billboard unveils the Power 100, a ranking of the most powerful people in the music business.
See the Billboard Power 100, organized by number, here.
Azoff's position on the Power 100 reflects a general trend in power, away from record labels and over to the management and touring side of the business. Of the 100 slots, 23 were filled by those in management or the touring business, compared to 21 record labels.
"Ultimately the artists are in control," noted one top entertainment attorney, speaking in consultation to the creation of the list. "So whoever most influences the artist has the power. But the label role has diminished as they no longer can provide the established artists with as much cash as they used to."
Billboard Power 100: A Letter From the Editor
Rankings were determined by a combination of key factors including market share, exclusive Billboard chart data/boxscore information, and revenue. A team of 15 top Billboard editors then analyzed the value of these metrics to produce the final results. The list is U.S. based. As well, the Power 100 puts a premium on the top decision makers at each company. So, for example, the strong position of Interscope's Jimmy Iovine's is an argument against a high position for the number-two at that company, Steve Berman, who still makes the list.
The list boasts six artists, each of whom cracked the business ranking for specific reasons. "We couldn't weigh the power of an artist's fanbase against the power an executive has, or this would have simply been an artist list," says Bill Werde, Billboard's editorial director. "Our Moneymakers list is our artist list. But certain artists were able to break through to the Power 100 based purely on their business success or innovations."
Artists on the Power 100 include Jay-Z and Beyonce as a power couple, Taylor Swift, U2, Jon Bon Jovi and Lady Gaga.
The rapidly changing music business is represented by the diversity of the remaining slots on the Power 100. There are 10 executives in television or movies (who either book artists or curate music for their productions); nine radio-industry executives and seven music-publishing executives (eight, including David Israelite of the National Music Publishers Association).
The list also includes executives from six digital service providers, from webcasters like Pandora to digital download stores like iTunes; five companies that use music for branding purposes and provide tour and artist sponsorship opportunities like Coca Cola, Chevrolet and AMEX; and five trade groups, like the RIAA and A2IM. There are also four lawyers, and two venture capitalists who invest in music-related companies.
Order your special edition of the Billboard Power 100 issue, printed on glossy stock with lavish original photography, available now.
Azoff's placement at the top of the list is due to his command of the biggest concert-promotion company, the largest ticketing company and the largest artist-management firm in the world. Since live performances are the main revenue source for artists, the touring industry is well represented on the list.
In the year ended 2010, Live Nation posted sales of $5.06 billion in revenue, up 21% from the prior year's total of $4.2 billion. That increase is almost entirely due to the merger with Ticketmaster that brought Azoff -- a veteran music industry executive with a long resume that includes running major record labels and artist-management firms -- into the company. But in 2011, going up against the merger numbers, Live Nation is still up 9.75% to $4.2 billion, up another 9.75% from $3.83 billion.
Azoff's power reflects the changing dynamic in the music business. As he said in the Q&A that appears in the issue, "It's all about the artist and those they empower to execute their business plans."

October 2009 Color Combo Challenge
Colors can spark creativity. Some color combinations will ignite the imagination. When I saw a blue-green, green and brown color combination of digital papers by Mindy Terasawa I immediately wanted to create a page with that color combination.
Rachel Myerson, Jennifer Sizemore and I each created a layout with the following color guidelines:
- Use all of the colors in the combination.
- Use the amount of each color as needed for your layout.
- Use any neutral colors of white or black.
For my layout, I chose to use the combination as a background for my photograph. The overlapping patterned and solid papers contribute to the close-up photograph. I also chose to use matching ribbon on the edges of the papers. The brown in the title word "you" adds to the scheme. A neutral background keeps the focus on the photograph.
Rachel Myerson created her color combination layout by featuring the colors in the choice of her background paper. She added a quote that reflected the color combination as well. To tie it all together, she used brown touches, including a solid brown color around the layout, a brown letter title and two brown flowers. The color combination unites the entire layout.
Jennifer used a colorful selection of products in the color scheme. She included patterned paper and cutouts in the appropriate colors. Her mixing of various patterned papers in strips creates an interesting look to the layout. She continued the color theme with her title.
This gorgeous color combination can be used for layouts, cards and other crafting ideas. Give this fun combination a try!

Australia's Coal Reserves Alone Could Take Up 75 Percent Of What We Can Still Risk Burning
The coal that will likely be developed just in Australia could take up 75 percent of what the world can still burn while staying under two degrees Celsius of global warming. That's according to the latest report from the Carbon Tracker Initiative (CTI).
This finding comes on the heels of CTI's report that $6 trillion in fossil fuel investments worldwide could be wasted globally if carbon emissions are brought under the two degree target.
Building off additional work by the International Energy Agency, the CTI determined that for the world to have an 80 percent chance of staying under the two degree target until 2050, no more than 200 to 360 additional gigatons of carbon emissions can be produced by burning coal. The Australian coal reserves already owned by companies account for 51 gigatons, and the remaining goal reserves that the CTI expects to be exploited would add another 100 gigatons.
In short, the coal that Australia alone is expected to provide the world all could chew up as much as three-fourths of what we can still burn without driving ruinous climate change:
Just in 2012, the Australian economy invested $5.71 billion in Australian dollars to develop coal reserves that can't be burned if we're going to adhere to the two degree target. Globally, the investment in unburnable fossil fuels has reached $674 billion in U.S. dollars per year. Either that money goes to waste, or the climate will be catastrophically destabilized.
Australian coal export expansion was also one of 14 "carbon bombs" — anticipated projects that could push global warming past the two degree threshold — listed by Ecofys and Greenpeace in January. If the expected expansions of the country's coal exports occur as planned, global carbon dioxide emissions could rise by 1.2 billion metric tons a year. And that's just one of the fourteen examples.
That said, awareness of the problem is certainly growing in the country: Australia just endured a summer of record-breaking brush fires, heat waves, and flooding — which the government's climate commission determined can be linked to climate change. The government also recently passed a carbon tax, and studies suggest Australia's power supply could go 100 percent renewable by 2030.
But starting in 2015 the price the policy puts on carbon is scheduled to be pegged to the European Union's carbon trading scheme — and the E.U. carbon price has been rather dysfunctional as of late. The good news is that the price of wind is already outperforming fossil fuels, even without the assistance of government policy, and solar isn't far behind on that trend.
25 Responses to Australia's Coal Reserves Alone Could Take Up 75 Percent Of What We Can Still Risk Burning
Between the governments of Australia, Canada, USA, Iran et al being unwilling to bear the economic penalties of not developing these fossil resources, and the unwillingness of the citizens of this planet to reduce fossil fuel use to the levels required to save the biosphere, it is inconceivable to me how the biosphere can be saved.
It's a bubble. It will only take slightly meaningful action by one power (most likely China) for investors to realize the bubble is about to burst.
Here is the reality. China has publicly stated it will reduce its fossil fuel dependence, and there are very good reasons to believe they aren't kidding us this time.
The main reason why people don't believe the Chinese will reduce fossil fuel consumption is because they believe the Chinese government is worried about social unrest caused by slow growth, so they wouldn't even want to risk that. However, in the past year, multiple environment related protests by the Chinese people, and an extremely embarrassing smog in Beijing, has shown that the larger threat which may lead to social unrest is probably climate change/pollution. The Chinese government can always patch the economy using different monetary and fiscal policies. But there is little they can do to fight off nature (as their helplessness during the smog showed).
I strongly believe China will make huge steps towards clean energy over the next decade, which will make these coal/oil companies worthless (most coal/oil consumption growth is predicated on a massive increase in Chinese consumption, which is not gonna happen).
They will be burned….maybe it will take longer….but they will be burned….unless our society falls apart and the technology is destroyed along with it.
It will be interesting to see if China and Australia cooperate in ditching coal. China signed a 20 year, $80 billion or so coal import deal from Australia a couple of years ago. If they cancel it, that would be an important sign, especially if they do likewise for Powder River coal.
She has been making huge steps and is accelerating those efforts, and the Aussie coal industry knows it. That's why they are screeching like demented cockies, ME
Reality says otherwise, ME
The PM was over there a couple of weeks ago, a lot of talking behind closed doors. We know CC was on the agenda but I heard no details apart from further cooperation, ME
Thanks, Merrelyn, and please keep us posted. You are one of our favorite voices here on CP, giving us hope for Down Under. Not so sure about here On Top.
Two degrees is already a lost cause even if we stopped using fossil fuels today. There are some big lags in the climate system, mainly due to how long it takes the ocean to heat.
There is significant masking from the aerosols we have put up, when we stop burning fossil fuels those aerosols will wash out. That masking is hiding about half the effect of what we have already done.
There are feedbacks from the already reduced albedo from ice loss. There are feedbacks from Arctic methane, but there are various estimates on how much.
Nasty is already a forgone conclusion, lets stop before we go beyond the survivable.
The 'social unrest' in China trope is a crude propaganda canard. The Chinese have enjoyed booming living standards, great falls in poverty, huge infrastructure building, an education system amongst the world's best, growing global prestige and increasing freedom to speak their minds, so long as they do not advocate 'regime change' or are in the pay of foreign enemies of the country. Surveys of Chinese public opinion by foreign observers regularly find the Chinese to be amongst the most satisfied populace anywhere. They don't like pollution, of course, so their Government is working to fix it, and, judging by their previous successes, they will do so. The countries faced by the real prospect of revolt amongst the populace are the Western countries that have gone backwards in living standards for the popular mass since the 1970s. The situation has been exacerbated by the ongoing GFC, as US household income and wealth falls for the bottom 93%, while the top 7% are richer than ever. And 'austerity', that Rightwing jihad against 100 years of social advance, is crushing one Western society after another. That's where unrest will break out, and soon.
They will be burned with all due haste (as they are being burned today) until 5-6 C is reached, and there is no one left to burn them. We are voting on this issue with our feet; any 'polls' that say otherwise are pure fantasy, to be used for political agenda purposes only.
And, when will this 5-6 C be reached? The global climate models predict about the end of the century. Add in strong positive feedbacks, and we come closer to mid-century. So, a child today has low probability of reaching a ripe old age if we continue BAU, and if the feedbacks are strong, will have low probability of reaching a ripe middle age.
That's the legacy we, The so-called Greatest Generation, have left to our children and grandchildren.
This is awesome and informative! Why would anyone put money into a dead fuel??
Not true. In commenting on the Rowlands model results (which predicted temperatures up to 3 C by 2050 by the authors), Maslin and Austin (Nature, June 2012) stated the following: "Although their average results matched well with IPCC projections, more extreme results, including warming of up to 4°C by 2050, seemed just as likely".
In addition, the Rowlands model was feedback-free; they state that explicitly. So, if 4 C is possible by 2050 in a feedback-free model, how much is possible by 2050 with feedbacks added in? 5 C? More? Extrapolate fifty years beyond to end of century, and we'll be lucky to remain below 6 C, perhaps even without feedback. This is not arm-waving; this is based on some of the most advanced models we have!
"lets stop before we go beyond the survivable". What are the metrics that will tell us whether or not we are 'beyond the survivable'? How do you know we have not crossed that line already?
Not necessarily, Joe.
The paper by Betts et al is interesting, sure, but what did they do exactly?
ANS: In IPCC AR4 (2007) IPCC reported results from feedback-containing "GCM" models only up thru the next-to-worst emissions scenario. Due to limited PC power at the time IPCC did not run their worst case emissions scenario (A1Fi) with the feedback-containing models. Instead they used a "simple" model, with linear responses.
The only thing BETTS et al did was run the A1Fi scenario with the GCM models. This nudged projections up a hair, but not much.
Good enough?
Sure…. if you believe the GCM models at the time included ALL the known feedbacks. Only we know that's not true. They didn't have the albedo-feedback in the arctic, and they didn't have permafrost/methane hydrate feedbacks, and they still don't have feedbacks to deep ocean mixing because we're still trying to get data to understand it.
In this case, I think Superman has a good point….. we should not be reassuring ourselves with supposed comfort-margins based on models. Fact is, we still don't know how fast the deep ocean will (or will not) take in AGW energy units, but we definitely do know that we should be acting now to keep the system from accumulating that warming energy in the first place.
Joe, In the reference you gave me below, your own words state: "Also, while Betts et al. does a better job of incorporating carbon-cycle feedbacks into their modeling than virtually anyone else, I do not believe that they incorporate any feedback of methane emissions from the tundra or methane hydrates — and that is certainly the most worrisome of all of the carbon-cycle feedbacks". So, probably the two major feedbacks that could lead to runaway temperatures are not included, and you conclude: "The fastest you could plausibly get to 4C with high feedbacks is the 2060s."
My reading of the references I quoted plus your references and your words is that we could hit 4 C even before 2050, if feedbacks kick in moderately strong.
Dead head and even deader soul.
This is why I think Carbon Capture and Storage will have to play a role in the future. There is absolutely no way Australia would give up its lucrative coal market.
Unfortunately there is a lack of investment or direction in the area. It would require a price on carbon across a few countries to actually spur the technology to be developed.
As much as people rejoiced about a Carbon Tax in Australia. If you read the fine print, Australian researchers in climate and Energy modeling has factored in that CCS technology will be in use within 10 years and that coal will be continued to be used long after that.
As not green as the technology is, it is potentially a way to lower emissions in the short term.
I'm not saying, don't invest in renewables. I honestly just don't have that much faith in humans long term vision.

Voice Activity Detection using Microphone Array
It is useful to decide whether the microphone signal includes a target speech or not at a temporal moment because the process called the voice activity detection (VAD) can reduce any redundant efforts made for the speech coding or the speech recognition, or it can help provide more accurate noise estimation for the speech enhancement. The detection of speech or non-speech in a frame has been simply done by observing the variance of its energy level, zero crossing rate or periodicity. In this occasion, however, the detection error increases exponentially as much as the background noise is added up. Unvoiced fricative sounds which have low energy with being distributed over widebands are more vulnerable to the background noise than any other phonemes are. It is proposed in this literature that voice activity can be detected more robustly in noisy environment by observing the subband power ratio of the noisy speech and its beamformed signal. Also, it is shown to be effective in the fricatives than in the vowels. Whatsoever, this method guarantees much better performance than single microphone VADs when the noise is obviously reduced by beamforming.

'Gambit' Star Channing Tatum and Producer Reid Carolin Talk Accents, Costumes and the 'X-Men' UniverseBritt Hayes July 1, 2015 @ 6:33 PM
Now that Magic Mike XXL has been unleashed in theaters, we're all moving on to Channing Tatum's next big project: Gambit. The X-Men superhero's solo movie was one we never thought could reasonably happen, especially after the horror of X-Men Origins: Wolverine. But we're in a new, better X-Men era, and Tatum — along with his producing partner Reid Carolin — are giving us even more hope with their latest update on the film.

Naughty Dog: Uncharted PSP would be "fantastic"
Naughty Dog co-president Evan Wells has told Joystiq it would be "fantastic" to see an Uncharted game on PSP.
Speaking to the site, the exec said they'd prefer if a third-party did development on it, although ND themselves wouldn't have any qualms in developing it.
"I think it would be fantastic to see the game (move) onto a handheld system," said Wells. ""Each one of the episodes is sort of like a standalone thing and I think we could do that pretty easily. If we can find a partner to work with, I'd love to do that … we definitely wouldn't do it ourselves.
"We're trying to just focus on the PS3 technology and platform right now.
"But, if we can't find a partner, then maybe we're going to have to find a budget ourselves."
Naughty Dog won five awards last night at the Game Developers Choice Awards for Uncharted 2, including Game of the Year.

Recently I watched a woman whip a small child with a tree branch. I missed what the boy did to arouse her ire. The scene wasn't easy to watch.
Several other small children were playing in the front yard when the little boy received the whipping. I got the impression it was some sort of day care situation. I happened to be sitting in my car, waiting for someone, and looked up when I heard the woman yelling at the boy.
Certain tones of voice are hard to ignore. The woman's tone was angry and maybe on the verge of being out of control. I don't know what her life is like - maybe not so good. Sometimes when parents yell at children, you can detect an undercurrent of love through the anger. There was no warmth in the way she yelled at this child. It was just pure banal hostility.
I couldn't make out her words, though the message was pretty clear: Stop doing whatever you're doing or you'll get a thrashing.
He couldn't have been more than 4 years old, maybe 3. He had on tiny blue jeans and a T-shirt. When the woman crossed the front yard toward him, she carried a branch from a tree. I didn't see her pick it up, but I guess it was lying in the yard. It was about three feet long, maybe as big around as your thumb at the big end.
The boy cowered down like he knew what was coming. The other children stopped their playing to watch. The woman commenced flailing the child with the branch, mainly across his bottom and back.
Though she wasn't lashing bare skin, it must have smarted hotly because after only a few lashes, he jumped up shrieking and tried to escape. She followed him, applying the switch to the backs of his little legs as he ran.
I don't want to debate spanking here. I used to spank my kids but quit when I saw it wasn't working. In my experience, parents spank not because they've really thought through the problem and concluded that of all available options, spanking is best. No, we spank - let's admit it - because we're mad or scared and wish to cause pain.
I found more effective methods of changing children's behavior and expressing my anger, so I quit spanking. Though I don't like to watch other people spank their children, I'm not automatically against it. Sometimes I wish people would spank.
But somewhere after 10 or 12 strokes of the stick, this switching stopped seeming like a spanking and began to seem like something else. I'm not sure what. The woman followed the boy across the yard, easily keeping up with his small legs and laying on the switch with even, almost mathematical regularity, like she was bored.
Finally the tyke stopped running, hunkered down in the dirt and wailed. I believe he was wailing "Mama! Mama!" but it wasn't clear to me if the lady hitting him was the person to whom he referred. She kept on striking him with the branch.
At that point, I thought what she wanted was for him to quit screaming. Mentally I tried to get a message to the child: Maybe if you'll stop crying, she'll stop hitting you. I was also wondering if perhaps it was time for me to get out of my car and do something.
Then she took a break and walked toward her porch with the switch. As she neared the porch something must have set her off again because she whirled around and stalked to the squalling boy and began to hit him again, like she'd suddenly remembered that she was administering a whipping after it had momentarily slipped her mind.
This time he tried to get away but must have realized the futility of flight, because he only ran halfway across the yard before again assuming his squat, elbows tucked in to his sides to protect his bare upper arms against the awful sting of the switch.
Eight or 10 more whacks must have finally seemed enough to the woman. She dropped the branch and walked to the porch and sat down. One of the other children grabbed it and ran toward the crying boy with it raised in the air. His crying crescendoed to a scream and he ran from his new tormentor. The child with the stick laughed.
I sat in my car and fought with myself. My outraged self wanted to march across the street, jerk the switch away and administer a whipping myself, maybe see if I could match strides with the woman if she tried to escape. My sensible self said it was none of my business. The boy was obviously not going to die from a switching.
Nevertheless, I made a note of the address and, when I got home, filed a complaint with the Abuse Hotline of the Texas Department of Protective and Regulatory Services in Austin, 1-800-252-5400. Maybe that's a mistake - involving the government in a private matter - but my mind kept returning to that little boy.
What would you have done?

Night sky and city, Keeps us in
Life signs of pity weep within
Games of reality are hard to win
The child of the Third World looks so thin
Dangerous visions, taunt me
Ancient memories, haunt me
Future decisions, confuse me
The story so far just eludes me
The man on the pavement catches your eye
You look in amazement, he's decided to die
The crowd have engagements, they're just passing by
The child of the Third World, is wondering why.

Park Adventure, May 2015
Hello second-grade students and families!
I am a second-grade teacher at Greenwood Elementary School. I am especially excited to teach at Greenwood, because I also attended Greenwood as a student for 6 years (1st-6th grade). The gorgeous canopy of trees that line Spruce Street are still my favorite scenery for a stroll.
Educationally, I attended school in the La Grande School District--finishing at LHS. After high-school, I earned a bachelor's degree from Eastern Oregon University. I majored in Multidisciplinary Studies, with minors in Elementary Education and English for Speakers of Other Languages. I continue to participate in professional development opportunities through this campus. I recently added a reading endorsement to my license. June 2015, I completed my Master's degree in education.
Professionally, I have also worked as a substitute teacher, a first-grade teacher and as the district ESL Specialist. I regularly teach summer programs and extended day opportunities. This range of experience has offered many valuable learning opportunities--all of which I have loved.
Personally, I love to read. The Kindle Fire has made this addiction much more accessible! It is wonderful! I enjoy walking around town and visiting Farmer's Market every weekend. Milo, my two year-old son, especially loves the live music so he can show off his dancing skills. He is so much fun and growing fast. He loves to read, his favorite book right now is Tip Tip, Dig Dig by Emma Garcia.
Enough about me! I look forward to teaching, learning, and sharing together in the future!

Suspect ID'd in 1995 slaying of dancer, second disappearance
Unsolved, part 1: Four years of grief and pain May 19, 2011
EVERETT — Snohomish County cold case detectives believe they have found the man who is responsible for the 1995 death of Patricia Berry and the disappearance of Tracey Brazzel earlier that same year. Detectives on Thursday filed a search warrant seeking genetic samples from Danny Ross Giles, a convicted sex offender now serving time for a 2005 indecent exposure case. Investigators say the Lynnwood man's DNA was found in both women's cars. They expect to confirm those results through further genetic testing, according to the search warrant. "We know we've got our guy," cold case detective Jim Scharf said Thursday. Investigators don't believe either woman knew Giles, but 16 years ago their paths somehow crossed and ended in violence. Over the years detectives wondered whether the same person was responsible for Berry's homicide and Brazzel's disappearance. They say they now have the evidence to prove Giles is responsible for both. "For 16 years I've waited for this day, and justice has finally come to my family," said Berry's mother, Nancy Stensrud of Camano Island. "When the cold-case team first started in Snohomish County, I remember saying, 'Don't commit a crime here because you will be found.' Today, these words ring true." Detectives believe their suspect killed Brazzel and Berry just weeks apart. Brazzel, 22, was last seen May 26, 1995, at Kodiak Ron's Pub and Grill, then located off Highway 99 in south Everett. When she didn't meet up with her friends, her family began to worry. Then her empty car was found parked outside the Keeler Corner Apartments in Lynnwood, where she lived. The passenger door window was broken. A small spot of blood was recovered from the passenger door. There was no sign of Brazzel. Her mother, Peggy Brady, held out hope her daughter was alive. "I can't mourn because there's nothing to mourn because I don't have answers," Brady told The Herald in 2008.
Cold case detectives met with Brady Wednesday to share the latest developments in her daughter's case.
"We are so pleased there has been a prime suspect identified," Brady said in a statement. "We understand it could be a death penalty case, which her father and I feel is appropriate in this case, but we're more interested in the closure of getting our daughter back. We feel that this is a giant step forward, and her dad and I have hope of bringing her home to us."
"This is a very emotional time for us and we hope everyone will respect our privacy," she added.
Detectives also met with Stensrud on Wednesday.
She was among the family members of victims of unsolved killings who spent years pressing for the creation of a cold case team in Snohomish County after growing frustrated over the apparent lack of progress on her daughter's case.
She was tearful Thursday morning, but resolved to see through this next chapter in her daughter's case. She praised investigators for their work.
"The Snohomish County cold case detectives have never stopped working my daughter's case and detective Jim Scharf and his team of cold case detectives are prepared with rock-solid evidence," she said in a statement. "The information I have received from them gives me more than enough hope that he will be convicted when he goes to trial. Thanks to their dedication, I am convinced there will be a conviction. There is no doubt about it."
Detectives showed her a photo of the suspect. She said he's somebody she does not know.
Both Berry, 26, and Brazzel were featured in the county's first-ever cold case playing cards. Berry's killing also was highlighted in a six-part series that appeared in The Herald in July 1999. It was one of many unsolved homicides that led to the formation of a cold case unit in the sheriff's office.
On July 31, 1995, Berry left after finishing her shift dancing a Honey's, a nude nightclub that used to be along Highway 99 in south Everett. Her blood-spattered car was found about two days later, hidden behind a nearby car wash off the 400 block of 128th Street SW.
Not far from the car, detectives found Berry's dance costumes and the blue jeans she was wearing when she left the club. The jeans were stained with blood. Berry's killer dumped her in the woods between the Everett Mall and an apartment complex. Children found her body nine days later beneath a canopy of spindly alder and hemlock trees.
She had been stabbed repeatedly. She left behind a 2-year-old daughter.
Detectives on Thursday said they believe Berry encountered Giles, then 27, while she was looking for a place to inflate a low tire on her car. Evidence suggests he attacked her outside the vehicle.
Scharf called Berry's investigation one of the largest in sheriff's office history. Detectives over the years have accumulated 18 volumes of information and collected 285 pieces of evidence. Despite some media reports that years ago a piece of evidence from the case was mishandled, there is a clear chain of custody for the materials that link the suspect to Berry, detectives said.
Scharf on Thursday commended John Padilla, a former homicide detective at the sheriff's office, for thoroughly documenting the case.
"He gathered as much as he could between I-5 and Honey's," Scharf said.
Scharf also praised the work of the scientists at the Washington State Crime Lab in Seattle and Marysville.
"We've gotten where we are today because of we have the finest team working on processing the information," he said.
A break came in Berry's case in 2004 when crime lab scientists discovered a mixture of DNA on evidence preserved from Berry's car during the initial investigation. Part of the sample matched Berry's DNA. Another part belonged to an unknown male. That profile was entered into the state database. No match was made.
Then in the summer of 2008, a crime lab scientist determined that the male profile matched a sample in the database belonging to Giles, the search warrant said.
Giles has been in prison since 2005 after being convicted of exposing himself to a underage girl in the University District. He had previous sex crime convictions, including a second-degree rape in 1987. In that case, he broke in and sexually assaulted a woman in a tanning bed room at a Lynnwood apartment complex. In 2001, he was convicted of criminal trespassing after a woman reported finding him crouched down looking at her while she was in a tanning bed at a salon in Shoreline. He fled the salon but was tracked down by police. He is currently at Stafford Creek Corrections Center near Aberdeen and was expected to be released in July.
Giles, 43, grew up in Snohomish County. He had his first felony conviction before the age of 14 and has been in and out of prison over the years.
At the time of Brazzel's disappearance and Berry's homicide, Giles was wanted on an outstanding warrant for failing to show up in court to be sentenced for burglary and theft convictions.
Everett police arrested Giles on Nov. 11, 1995, near the mall, about a half mile from where Berry's body was found earlier in the year. He was living with his mother in an apartment off 204th Street SW, less than five miles from Brazzel's apartment and about six miles from where Berry's car was found. He'd previously lived closer to Brazzel, Scharf said. Investigators also learned that he'd visited a pawn shop across the street from Brazzel's apartment in 1994 and 1995.
Giles also left behind genetic evidence in Brazzel's disappearance, detectives said. Sheriff's detective Gregg Rinta recovered some blood from her car in 1995. Crime lab scientists in Marysville in 2010 tested the blood and entered the profile into the state database. The sample matched Giles' DNA on file in the system, police said.
Investigators have been building their case against Giles over the years, Scharf said. They knew he was in prison and wasn't getting out anytime soon. They waited to get the search warrant and to speak with him until their case was solid.
They have interviewed him a couple of times in the past two weeks. Detectives obtained saliva samples from him on Tuesday. Those will be tested against the evidence already on file.
"The tests will confirm what we already know. We have the right guy and he realizes that," Scharf said.
Their priority now is to return Brazzel home to her family.
Scharf said one of the most difficult parts of the job is seeing what families of missing persons are going through. They suspect that something awful has happened to their loved one but hold out hope.
"They don't have the body to have the answer," Scharf said. "Personally, the most important part of this investigation is to get Tracey's body recovered."
This is the second time in less than a month that the team have announced a major break in an unsolved case. Late last month they arrested a Seattle man in connection with the 1979 homicide of Susan Schwarz.
"The work is paying off because we've been getting results in the past few months," cold case detective Patrick VanderWeyst said.
The detectives attribute their success in great part to federal and state grants the sheriff's office received a couple years ago. The grants helped pay for more detectives and additional genetic testing. The federal grant runs out next month.
Advances in technology helped catch up with the hard work that went into these cases, Scharf said.
It's the dedication and diligence of the cold case team that's helping bring answers to families, said Chuck Wright, who volunteers with the team, along with another civilian, Mikelle Gaines. Wright carries some of the cold case cards in his wallet.
"Science only goes so far. People put hours and hours and their lives into finding a solution to death," he said. "The caring for human life is the major motivator."

Transistorized Microphone Preamplifier and Remote Broadcast Mixer-Amplifier
The audio engineer may apply transistors advantageously to portable, battery-operated equipment. The application of junction transistors to a microphone preamplifier and to a remote broadcast mixer-amplifer is described. The principles and techniques employed are also applicable to other audio devices where high gain and high efficiency are required. It is felt that although transistors may not replace vacuum tubes in applications where size, weight, and battery operation are unimportant, in special applications like those described in this paper, transistors have a definite place in audio equipment.

Visions In Action
Rating: 5 stars 1 1 review 160
2710 Ontario Road Nw Washington DC 20009 USA
Visions in Action was founded in 1988 to provide volunteers to indigenous nonprofit organizations in the developing world. Volunteers serve from 4 weeks to a year in the areas of human rights, journalism, democratization, education, health, environment, food security, social work, microenterprise and community development. Visions has programs in Mexico, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda and Liberia. Volunteers are committed to achieving social justice in the developing world through a grassroots community of self-reliant volunteers.
Volunteers serve for 6 or 12 months in the areas of human rights, journalism, democratization, education, food security, health, environment, social work, microenterprise and community development. Volunteers live in a group house in an urban area of Africa or Latin America in groups of 3-10. Volunteers undergo a 2-3 week orientation overseas, including language training, homestays, guest speakers and interviews with potential placements. Visions places about 30-40 volunteers a year. Short-term community development programs of 4-6 weeks are run in the summer in Mexico and Tanzania. Visions in Action also currently manages relief and development programs in Liberia and Uganda. In Liberia, Visions works in four program areas: Food Security, Education, Radio and Election Monitoring. In northern Uganda Visions manages two programs: An Emergency Education program for children in Internally Displaced Camps and a program that provides voluntary HIV Counseling & Testing and support to people living with AIDS.

more cheaper pipe and drape wholesale
My research did not lead me to anything very positive about the trade
show booth designs but I fully acknowledge that there may be additional
RK drapery hardware has been very popular. Product fabric is renowned
for its softness, comfort, luster and drape combined with wash ability
and durability. Black Pipe and drape is more expensive than organic cotton or hemp at this time and is seen as a new luxury product.
Because of trade show display ideas, bamboo fabrics can be produced without any chemical additives,
The good news is that other newer manufacturing methods have been developed and are more cheaper Pipe and drape wholesale.

Dear Jerry (Administrator of the Tri-County Hospital of Williston),
I met you last Thursday when I was leaving Tri-County Hospital after a three-day stay. Please allow me the opportunity to brag on these members of the hospital staff who were responsible for the positive experience I had during my recent stay in your health care facility in my hometown of Williston.
Hi, I'm Lashae Smith, and I live right here in Chiefland. I'm trying to be an actor, singer, dancer and model. I was selected out of hundreds of other contestants and received a call back to attend AMTC, an acting, modeling and talent competition. It's a Christian company that's been in business for 26 years. It's pretty famous, and I'm excited about it. I will be seen by agents from around the world who have launched thousands of careers.
While acting as branch librarian, and the only employee, I recruited and trained several volunteers. Many years later, when retiring, the volunteers stayed on. Operating the library without volunteers was almost impossible.
After a few years of driving for Meals on Wheels, and training for the old VOICE program at the Levy County Sheriffs Department, and for Guardian Ad Litem, (both of which required finger printing), I noticed the library was in need of volunteers.
I firmly believe in the concept of community gardens as a way of supplying healthy produce and providing much needed exercise for the gardeners. It is an excellent educational tool to teach children, and some adults, where our food comes from and how difficult it can be to produce. If done correctly, a community garden is a valuable addition to an area.
Once upon a time in Levy County, there was a great and wondrous place called Gulf Hammock. The rivers, streams, and springs ran clear and free. The flora and fauna was the richest in the land. One could walk for miles and not see another human being, or any kind of structure to impede their vision while taking in all that nature had to offer. It acted as a buffer for the riches of Waccasassa Bay.
For some time the citizens of the tri-county area have expressed support for the development of a full-service hospital in Chiefland, The purpose of this letter is to bring you up to date on the progress of the project and to ask you to participate in a short survey that can be found on page B5 of the Chiefland Citizen.
Three years ago I was hired by Tarmac as a receptionist to work part time in their Inglis office. I was already working one part-time job, so the extra work with Tarmac was really helpful. It allowed me to basically work full-time, which is hard to do in this economy since there just aren't many good jobs available. My job with Tarmac was even more important when I got laid off from my other job two years ago. It would have been difficult working only part time I would have only working part-time, but Tarmac increases my hours to make up for part of my lost hours.
The Greater Chiefland Area Chamber of Commerce would like to say thank you to all our sponsors and local businesses that donated to our Annual Citizen of the Year Banquet.
We had a huge turnout and all had a wonderful evening of great music, delightful food and enjoyable fellowship.
We would also like to say congratulations to Paige and Loran Brookins for being our 2010 Citizens of the Year.
To all our Railroad Fans,
The Levy County Historical Society wishes to thank everyone who attended the Levy County Railroad Days celebration this past weekend. Your support contributed greatly to the success of event.
Our thanks also to the many volunteers who donned period costumes to make the 1861 event come alive.
The mission of the Levy County Historical Society is to promote and preserve the history and heritage of Levy County.
Toni C. Collins,
Chairman Levy County Railroad Days
If I may respond to Mr. Harris's letter of rebuttal on the Tarmac Mine.
The economic information I related, was extracted from a 53-page, economic impact study prepared by Dr. Richard Weisskoff, senior professor in Economics, University of Miami, "Economic Impact of Mining on Levy County, Florida – A Strategic View."
The Hurricane information was provided by sources such as NOAA and the National Hurricane Center which I researched, readily available to all.

Toy Story 3
YouTube - Toy Story 3 - Official Trailer [HD]
Oh. My. Gosh. Yay~!
Is anybody else excited for this? The best part is that the movie's coming out June 18 next year! ^__^ .. It kind of freaks me out, because apparently Andy's going to college... and so am I next year... o___o
I am so exicted for this movie, I used to be obbsessed with Toy Story. I was Jesse one year for Halloween, and I have the Jesse and Woody dolls. ahaha. ;D
Woah, he's gonna be going to college? o__o
I thought he was gonna be like in high school or something still.
I love Pixar movies; and Cars 2 is supposed to be coming out in 2011. ;D
I want to see this. But it's not coming out here til mid July. -.-
Saw it, loved it. It was very intense, actually. O.o
I've heard that it is. But still sounds good. XD
I had a Toy Story moment once; when I was a kid, I had a battered old frog bean bag toy that was my favourite toy. He'd lost both arms and had them sewn back on; his eyes had been replaced by buttons and he'd lost some of his beans, so he was skinny, but I still loved him. One day, he went missing and I was really upset.
I eventually got given a new frog, of the same type; cept this one was brand new. I named this one Froggy 2 and pretended he was Froggy's son. :lol: A few months later, and I found Froggy in the garden. O_o I'd searched the entire garden for him before and never found him; besides, my dad had mowed the lawn several times and he would have been ripped up if he'd been there.
After watching the first Toy Story movie, I wondered if there'd been a power struggle between my Froggy toy and my second fave toy; a fuzzy horse, like the one between Buzz and Woody. :lol:
I remember as a kid that I used to try to sneak up on my toys to see if they were living. :lol: I never caught them, but kept trying; to my mind, not catching them didn't disprove the movie, just had me thinking They're just that darn good!
And my fuzzy horse was smarter than Woody; seeing as he was always still there, he just never got caught out after he somehow managed to get rid of Froggy. :lol: He must have patched things up with Froggy afterwards, somehow. xD
No, he was just Alpha toy, Miranda. XD Froggy was lucky to make up with him; not all toys are as nice as Andy's. :lol:
:lol: Or maybe, now that Froggy had Froggy 2 to back him up, Fuzzy had no choice but to make things up. XXD
We'll never know, will we? XD
I still have my main and fave group of animals; the Tiger Family, Freckles the horse, Sugar the Cat, and Mr. Teddy (had him since I was 3).

Skip to comments.Cairo protesters erupt in celebration (Now comes the hard part of re-forming a government)
Posted on 02/11/2011 9:06:46 AM PST by SeekAndFind
Demonstrations that began with quiet determination on the Internet more than three weeks ago erupted into riotous jubilation Friday evening, moments after Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak announced he would step aside.
Protesters swarmed army tanks that had been deployed to keep order, banged drums, blew whistles and frantically waved the Egyptian flag in celebration. They danced in circles and chanted.
Two men dropped to their knees and began to pray as soon as the news was announced.
"Freedom!" crowds chanted outside the white carved walls of the presidential palace.
"God is great," they shouted in Tahrir Square.
The reaction was quick to pour in across some of the same social networking sites that Egyptians used to help organize the historic protests.
"Egypt -- you are a shining light," one Twitter user posted in congratulations.
(Excerpt) Read more at edition.cnn.com ...
Now comes the Muslum Brotherhood and their sharia law, all because Ozombie wants it that way.
You'd better be ready to fight for it, then.
Because similar situations in other countries in the region certainly haven't exactly resulted in "freedom."
Obama is going to make a statement sure to encourage the same elsewhere.
I don't think sharia law would sit well with the Egyptian youth. Lets not get carried away here.
Wonder if this would work for us to get Obama to step down?
To think the Liberal Dems and Media think the demonstrations in Egypt was OK, but they object to Quiet, Tame, grass roots American Tea Party. Unbelievable, no, sadly it is believable.
Obama and the IMF will be there soon with aid for the Obama Brotherhood.
Obama and the IMF will be there soon with aid for the Obama Brotherhood.
Obama and the IMF will be there soon with aid for the Obama Brotherhood.
Obama and the IMF will be there soon with aid for the Obama Brotherhood.
If I was a betting man,I would bet that after the dust settles that the muslim brotherhood will be in charge. It may take 6 months or it may take a while longer.
Freedom don't come easy. Ask the Founding Father's of this country or better yet the people of Iraq.
It doesn't sell well with the Iranian youth, either.
Why are you getting carried away? Are you going drama queen about something? Calm down. You're probably much farther from it than I am.
Obama and the IMF will be there soon with aid for the Obama Brotherhood.
For sure.
...I got a hunch that that within a couple of years they'll be wishing they had Mubarak back.
Judging by relatively recent history in the region, I'd say that's a pretty valid bet.
The latest poll shows 71% of Egyptians want Sharia law.
I hate that when that happen!!!
The real question is "When will Ozombie try to do this here?"
Before 2012?
He must be stopped.
So, the Muslim Brotherhood/Obama-engineered coup detat has succeeded.
What a shameful day for America.
Im sure other allies are scared spitless.
Or, maybe they should be referred to henceforth as former allies.
Maybe now were allied with Iran and Syria. Part of the new, much more potent Axis of Evil.
Can you give a link to your source citing that poll including the number of people polled?
True enough.
The constitution can be a pain in the ass sometimes but I'm not willing to sacrifice it to get rid of Obama.
Maybe we can give 0bama to Egypt?
They're ringing the bells now ... they'll be wringing their hands soon enough.
Hey, what can go wrong? After all, the new military leader of Egypt and our own President have the same middle name! :)
A secular Ahmed Zewail for President of Egypt .. not that incompetent fool Mohamed El Baradei!!
""I dont think sharia law would sit well with the Egyptian youth. Lets not get carried away here.""
Due to the nature of Islamist movements and taking into consideration what Allegra actually said...your point is what? They damn well better be ready to shed blood becaus the MB is ready to.
I wonder what the polling methodology is in a country like Egypt? Is it even accurate? It's not like here where you have a phone book, lots of land line phones and polling data that is fairly reliable.
I dont think sharia law would sit well with the Egyptian youth. Lets not get carried away here.
A recent poll by Pew Research Center showed some 85% of muslims in Egypt want sharia as the law of the land. And they're going to get it.
How many people were polled?
People tend to think that 'freedom' doesn't mean the freedom to choose sharia. If they use 'freedom' to choose slavery and servitude , what then?
Are you sure that the video isn't file footage of celebrations after the twin towers fell?
You need to educate yourself... Rush read a new pew poll of Egyptians... 82% hate America... they want sharia law... just find it and read it.
82% hate America.
You need to understand that showing percentages means nothing in poll. We need to know how many people were polled in order for it to be statistically significant. For instance if a clinical trial of a drug for a disease was conducted on 10 patients and 8 of them were cured can you really then say that this drug will help 80% of the time people use it? You should take statistics.

Many of us, who treasure liberty and democracy, are thrilled by the ongoing people's revolution on the streets of Tunisia, Egypt, Jordan, Yemen and other Middle Eastern nations, headed by dictatorial regimes that are friendly toward the infidel world (in Iran and Gaza, no such protests).
The following facts, gathered by a Pew Survey, should worry us as much as thrilled are the revolutionaries.
According to a recent Pew survey (April - May 2010) reported by Reuters:
20% percent had a favourable view of Al-Qaeda
18% had confidence in Osama bin Laden (though it has fallen from 27% a few years ago
49% are favorable of Hamas
30% are favorable of Hezbollah
On Islamic punishments:
54% wants segregation of men and women in workplace
82% wants adulterers be stoned
84% wants death penalty for apostates from Islam
77% favors flogging or amputation of the hands of thieves
On the preferred system of governance:
59% preferred democracy to any other kind of government.
22% said a non-democratic system be preferable in certain circumstances.
Above facts may give us an inkling to at least a part of the people's discontent against the reigning dictators, who tries to maintain friendly relations with infidel nations and even show their inclination toward recognizing Israel.
People certainly wants democracy, and they will probably get it -— in terms of putting the next government in power.
What would come subsequently remains to be seen, although it seems all too clear already to the discerning mind.
RUSH LIMBAUGH, PEW POLLING and the below link referencing this new Pew Poll:
I don't see the number of people that were polled.

Egyptians Hate America and Want Islamic Rule
In July of last year, the University of Maryland commissioned Zogby to poll the people of Egypt. Here are a few of their findings:
85% of Egyptians hold an unfavorable attitude toward the U.S.
87% of Egyptians have no confidence in the U.S.
92% of Egyptians believe the U.S. is one of two nations that is the greatest threat to them (the other nation the Egyptian people hate is Israel)
52% of Egyptians hold an unfavorable opinion of American people
65% of Egyptians believe that Islamic clergy must play a greater role in the Egyptian political system
79% percent of Egyptians believe that it would be positive if Iran is able to acquire nuclear weapons
The Zogby poll results back up a similar project conducted by Pew in April and May of last year. Among Egyptian Muslims polled, 85% felt that Islams role in politics was a positive one. In a struggle between modernizers and Islamist fundamentalists, 59% of Egyptians who foresaw such a conflict stated they would side with the Islamists, while only 27% stated that they would side with the modernizers.
Another Pew poll last June revealed that only 17% of Egyptians hold a favorable view of the United States, while 20% hold a favorable view of suicide bombing. Yes dear readers, Egyptians like suicide bombing more than they like you.
Pew also revealed that 82% of Egyptian Muslims support stoning human beings to death for having sex outside of marriage and that 77% of Egyptian Muslims support public whippings and cutting peoples hands off for theft. In addition, a terrifying 84% of Egyptian Muslims support the death penalty for anyone who has the good sense to leave the religion of Islam.
As much as we may not like Hosni Mubarak, there are many worse people who could be in power in Egypt and they are very likely to be in power before the end of the year. We would all like to believe that the protesters in the streets of Egypt are all fighting for freedom but that is not what they say about themselves. By their own admission, they prefer Islamic fundamentalism to modern civilization by more than 2 to 1. They dont want a modern democracy; they do want to murder people for having sex outside of marriage. They dont want freedom of religion in fact 84% of them want to establish the death penalty for it.
What does this sound like? It sounds a whole lot like Iran in 1979. Westerners with common sense should be leaving Egypt as quickly as possible, with no plans to ever return. We would like to hope for the best, but we must plan for the worst."
WisemanRAX was so anxious to come across as an internet tough guy that he really didn't even respond to what my post really said.
I guess "Wiseman" thinks once you remove a ruler, freedom just drops from the sky.
You're right, LLS...he needs to educate himself before he gets carried away. It only takes a passing knowledge of the general culture in the region and a look at similar events over the past few decades to be able to make a fairly safe assessment.
There's only one nation in the Middle East that has attained "freedom" in the past few years, and that ain't set in stone yet.
I searched ALL of Pew Research's web site... I can find plenty of stats but no numbers... I suggest YOU email them at firstname.lastname@example.com
Allegra is THE AUTHORITY... she has been in Iraq since right after the invasion... she knows first hand... she is the authority on that part of the world... here on FR. I'd believe anything that Allegra says without question... TRUST is earned... and she has earned hers in spades!
I don't know that I'm an authority, but I do call 'em like I see 'em.
I'm not on the 50-yardline for this one, but I'm still in the stadium.
I know that freedom doesn't fall from the sky but I would like to point out that when polling, sample size is very important because if you poll 12 people, it's not really significant. However, if you poll 12000, well that would be a great statistics and you can make an assumption from that. It's not worshipping math, but just using it to say something about the world. This is the problem with polls, they never give sample sizes since they know that once people see how many in total were polled, people might become skeptical.
As far statements from rioters, it does not mean much to me as news sources (whether right or left) can selectively take out statements to form an opinion that they would like to hear and others to believe. Constantly saying that a significant amount of Egyptians hate us is not going to help your case.
Also I made a mistake when I replied to Allegra in my first post, the reply was meant towards TruthConquers.
Muslims are people like us but most who fight against us don't understand what it means for them to be Muslim, they are constantly bombarded with propaganda about hating anything Western by clerics with an agenda that molds the minds of these people. Unfortunately, that is the way it is.

WE DON'T HEAR much from Sam Hinkie. The Sixers general manager goes about his business working the phones, not letting a single word leak. He works very quietly and then, when we least expect it - BOOOOOOM - he drops the bomb on us.
Done it twice so far.
Can't wait for draft night 2014.
Last June, under the cover of darkness on draft night and without the hint of a rumor anywhere, Hinkie sent All-Star point guard Jrue Holiday to the New Orleans Pelicans/Hornets for the sixth pick in the draft plus a first-rounder in this year's draft that could very well be another lottery pick. He then traded all over the place in the second round, netting two additional picks in this year's draft.

I'm trying to perform a Median filter on an image in Java but it's terribly slow. Firstly, if any of you know of a standalone implementation I could use it would be fantastic if you could let me know. I'm implementing on Android, trying to replicate a small part of the JAI.
In my method I take each pixel, extract the R,G & B values using
r = pixel >> 16 & 0xFF
Or similar, find the median for the kernel and finish with
pixel = a | r <<16 | g << 8 | b
Is there any way I can grab the bytes from an int in such a way that this would be faster?
Kind regards,
EDIT: Full code to help diagnose my low performance upon request
For the actual source file please go here that's where my implementation of medianFilter can be found.
width and height variables are for the size of dest and are available as class member variables. The pixels are linearized into a one dimensional array.
private void medianFilterSquare(int[] source, int[] dest, int rWidth,
int rHeight, int radius) {
// Source has been reflected into a border of size radius
// This makes it radius * 2 pixels wider and taller than the dest
int r,g,b;
int destOffset, rOffset, kOffset;
// The first offset into the source to calculate a median for
// This corresponds to the first pixel in dest
int rFirst = radius + (rWidth*radius);
// We use a square kernel with the radius passed
int neighbours = (radius+radius+1)*(radius+radius+1);
int index;
// Arrays to accumulate the values for median calculation
int[] rs = new int[neighbours];
int[] gs = new int[neighbours];
int[] bs = new int[neighbours];
// Declaring outside the loop helps speed? I'm sure this is done for me
// by the compiler
int pixel;
// Iterate over the destination pixels
for(int x = 0; x < height; x++){
for(int y = 0; y < width; y++){
// Offset into destination
destOffset = x + (y * width);
// Offset into source with border size radius
rOffset = destOffset + rFirst + (y * (radius *2));
index = 0;
// Iterate over kernel
for(int xk = -radius; xk < radius ; xk ++){
for(int yk = -radius; yk < radius ; yk ++){
kOffset = rOffset + (xk + (rWidth*yk));
pixel = source[kOffset];
// Color.red is equivalent to (pixel>>16) & 0xFF
rs[index] = Color.red(pixel);
gs[index] = Color.green(pixel);
bs[index] = Color.blue(pixel);
r = medianFilter(rs);
g = medianFilter(gs);
b = medianFilter(bs);
dest[destOffset] = Color.rgb(r, g, b);

IRVING, Texas (AP) - Dallas coach Wade Phillips tomorrow will
make his debut with the Cowboys -- against a team playing its first
game since winning the Super Bowl.
The Indianapolis Colts are returning to Texas Stadium, where
their bid for a perfect season ended after a 9-0 start last
Consider it's Dallas quarterback Tony Romo vs. Indianapolis QB
Peyton Manning.
Manning says ultimately, it's about doing what you have to do to
get ready for the regular season.
Phillips and Indianapolis coach Tony Dungy will be far more
interested in examining the bottom 30 players on their rosters than
the top 30.
The Cowboys will be without receiver Terry Glenn and both
starting tackles, Flozell Adams and Marc Colombo, all because of
recent knee surgeries.
Terrell Owens is expected to play, despite missing
some practice due to back spasms.
