Eat bugs. Scrape for a pinch of rice. Bite into a snake. Pull leeches off chest.
These are just some of the perfunctory details of life in and outside of an enemy prison camp captured in Werner Herzog's "Rescue Dawn," a submersive experience into the Vietnam War capture of Dieter Dengler, an American bomber pilot whose optimism for survival inspires his fellow POWs into action.
Dieter is played by the excellent Christian Bale, a versatile actor who's equally convincing as a billionaire superhero ("Batman Begins"), a preppy murderer ("American Psycho") or a super-skinny industrial worker ("The Machinist").
In "Rescue Dawn," the fictionalization of the 1997 documentary Herzog made about Denger called "Little Dieter Needs to Fly," Bale plays a hero, a man who shines a bright smile and is promised the love of a fiancee at home.
Dieter becomes obsessed with survival in "Rescue Dawn." Although the other captured soldiers are waiting for a rescue squadron. Dieter knows they must bust out, even if they face difficult odds surviving the wilderness outside of the prison camp.
What separates this film is the smaller details that illuminate the conditions. A shard of glass is fashioned into a reconnaissance device. A nail becomes a key tool. Automatic weapons rest on the guard posts, ready to explode into action. The bright green leaves and the low-rumbling sounds of life inside the cover of trees convey the beauty and danger of nature.
The ongoing mental duel between the village guards, who are also facing hunger, and the Americans is also instrumental in creating the slow-building tension.
Herzog's technique avoids overly orchestrated action sequences that try to artificially pump out energy.
His heroes are rightfully lethargic and the greater struggle is their own mental capacity to believe that they can survive. A sparse, but high-impact score accentuates the doom that lurks around each turn.
"Rescue Dawn" is full of life, creating a dreamlike meditation on what it means to keep breathing and moving -- even if the finish line never seems to come into view.
RESCUE DAWN with Christian Bale, Steve Zahn and Jeremy Davies. Rated PG-13 (for perilous situations involving captivity in the jungle and violence). Running time: 2 hours 5 minutes.

Not from Bedfordshire?
Log in with itslearning
A new window will appear if you are not already logged in
Dear Colleagues,An issue has come to light where any account in your school can search for and message anyone in central bedfordshire. This only affects those schools where they have implemented a policy that allows communication with 'Site' as opposed to 'School'.I recommend that you change the communication option to 'School' in ALL of your policies.Any issues please contact me in the usual way.Best regards,Neil Turner

This summer we have some very exciting changes happening to the itslearning platform. Changes include a new interface, new features and updates to existing features. At the end of July, the early learner course interface is being retired from itslearning, this means that it will no longer be possible to create new early learner courses. Any existing early learner courses will be converted to ordinary courses. Our design team is looking into how we optimise the new itslearning for our youngest users, and we will communicate these updates at a later date.For more information on all changes that are happening this summer please visit http://www.itslearning.co.uk/the-new-itslearning-experience
07/07/2016 11:11
Colleagues,Having seen the new new look and feel, and talked to its learning staff I can assure all users that you DO NOT have to change to the new version of its learning.A number of facilities that Central Bedfordshire users will be lost with the new version, a few of these are listed here:Skins will no longer be supported i.e. space/animal misfitsEarly years interface will not be supportedALL CONTENT on a course 'dashboard' will be lost when upgradingI have been assured that any/all schools who wish to continue with their EXISTING platform will be able to do so for the foreseeable future. This has several advantages, the biggest of which is not having to go through the undoubted upgrading issues. By waiting hopefully any problems will be ironed out AND it may be that in a years time scripts will have been written to allow your existing content to be migrated to the new version should you wish to venture down this route.If you do not have much content on a course dashboard you may well want to move over to the new version, if you do please let me know.Best wishes,Neil

Dear Colleagues by September the Its Learning platform will be updated with new facilities, look and feel etc etc.Please take time to read through this document, Back to School 2016 at: http://www.itslearning.co.uk/Websites/uknew/images/Technical-Guide-UK.pdfand look at the its learning webpage with screen shots here:http://www.itslearning.co.uk/the-new-itslearning-experienceAlso there are still places for the Its Learning Conference at Wyboston on Friday 1st July, details are here: http://info.itslearning.net/User-Conference-Register.htmlBest wishes,Neil Turner

A Classic, Romantic & Playful Wedding Shoot In Poland
Happy Monday!
How was your weekend? Filled with pretty plans and anticipation for your forthcoming nuptials, perhaps? Or maybe a spot of Christmas shopping?
Zee and I had a pretty chilled one after a super hectic few weeks of flat hunting around London but the good news is, we've found a gorgeous flat and we get to move in next month. Hurrah!
The bad news is that due to a crazy schedule in the lead up to our move and all the behind the scenes work I'm doing on my blog redesign, there will be a bit of a reduced blogging schedule. But never fear there's a LOT of lovely, chic, unique and awesome-ness in store for you all in the coming weeks. Pinky promise.
Starting with this exquisite wedding shoot which took place in Poland, after the couple's wedding. These film photographs by The Weddie have such a nostalgic, timeless quality to them. Every single image is a thing of beauty ~ as is the bride, Kasia, with her Marilyn Monroe esque looks. Her new husband, Szymon, channels his inner Bond in a sharp, black tuxedo.
Yep, this shoot is about as classic, romantic and beautiful as they come.
Aren't those playful candy floss shots just perfect?!
Many thanks to The Weddie for sharing this gorgeous shoot with us ~ it's got the week off to a very classy start indeed.

I had an appt for my son, which took 2 months to get....My son has a broken wrist and that is the soonest they could take him. I was 20 minutes late for my appt. I had got lost and got behind a slow driver coming from Grants Pass. They said the Dr. was running late and was leaving early and would not be able to see my son. I said he has been in pain and it has taken 2 months to get this appt and if he is running behind I'm sure we would have been sitting here for 20 minutes if we had been on time. She said someone would call me. They didn't even rebook his appt at that time. She said we wouldnt have to wait 2 more months. I said when we come we better not have to wait at all!!! If there was another Dr. I would certainly go to him but this is the ONLY wrist Dr. and he is a half hour away. The only other close one is 2 and a half hours away. I have had to wait on Dr's. for an hour before.. There is nothing we can do as patients when we have to wait but if we are late AT ALL to our appt they have the right to refuse our appt. This is sooo unfair. Needless to say I am extremely unhappy with this whole situation and very sad for my son.

My husband and I stayed at this neat Inn and enjoyed sipping wine on the quaint georgeous porch that was just beautiful with all the hanging flower baskets and giant ferns. The room we had was very comfortable and decorated with beautiful art work. We also enjoyed the use of a fully equiped kitchen since we prefer preparing our on meals together. Very nice place would highly recommend.

My husband and I stayed here while "wandering Indiana". We enjoyed our 2 nights here. We stayed in the house with 4 units. Our beds were comfortable and the house charming. The house was not full and we were the only ones using the TV in the living room. We breakfasted with Vesta and enjoyed getting to know her. The welcoming porches and gardens we would have enjoyed had the weather cooperated. We will recommend this place to our friends. R & B
3.4 on April 24, 2011
We were expecting a nice quiet setting. We figure once you rent a cottage that the owner would be around or watching to see if you had more guests. The massage package is not worth the money it was more like a body rub. We figure we would get a bottle of wine from french lick winery not a generic version of wine. It is a nice getaway but the view was okay. For two people it cost $500 or so for 2 nights.
4.8 on July 03, 2010
This was an oasis in the midst of a hectic conference week. We so enjoyed sipping tea on the veranda and visiting with the Innkeeper. The view was beautiful. The inn was meticulous and we enjoyed the ecclectic decor and the innkeeper's original oil paintings. The continental breakfast was just what we needed for our early morning meetings. Will recommend to our friends.

The Royal Caribbean cruise ship cut short its trip to the Caribbean after nearly 630 of the 3071 passengers were stricken with a gastronomical illness that left many vomiting and with diarrhea.
"When we were in the sick bay, people were getting nervous and they started showing up there to try to get help," she said. "Suddenly, there was influx of 150 people. That puts into perspective what this crew was facing — that it was an epidemic."
Rogutski said the ship's buffets were all covered and no passengers could touch them. They had to be served by crew members wearing gloves and masks, including entertainers who pitched in. Sick passengers were brought food to their rooms.
Other passengers, however, had different thoughts.
"I think they did a great job," said Ellen Goetzman of Port Crane, N.Y., who got sick and was in bed for two days. "I found out the second day that people were getting sick but I managed to recover."
unrelated to the breakout. An official from Royal Caribbean not authorized to speak said it was a cardiac issue and the passenger was en route to the hospital.


text: This past summer, the Atonement Child Care Center planted gardens filled with flowers and vegetables. They watered, weeded, and waited. In time, they were able to witness the blooming of the sunflowers that exploded with life and to pick the vegetables which they found later in their lunches (okay, not so joyous for them). This Advent, as I see the empty gardens that are barren for the winter, I remember the smiling faces of the children and their lively gardens. I am reminded that new life is born, I am reminded of Emmanuel, (God is with us).

Speedway stars Chris Holder and Darcy Ward will remain friends off track but rivals on it
- From: SPEED
- March 22, 2013
Australia's speedway stars Chris Holder and Darcy Ward might be racing for a world title this year, but they're planning on still being good mates off it.
Holder, the speedway world's reigning world champion, has been a good friend and a mentor to wild-child Ward since the Queenslander moved to Europe several years ago.
"Since he's been there I've tried to help him a lot, and he'd tell you the same," Holder told SPEED. "If he had a problem he'd come to us and I'd tell him, or he'd ask what I'm doing."
Use the Twitter hashtag #SGPonSPEED to join the conversation as SPEED brings you LIVE Speedway Grand Prix on Saturday!
Speedway Grand Prix
Chris Holder rates the riders of 2013
Although Ward will now be one of Holder's rivals as steps up to race full-time in Speedway Grand Prix, the teen doesn't expect it to change their off-track friendship.
"Everyone talks about me and Chris and what's going to happen, but everyone can think what they think," Ward told SPEED.
"I think me and Chris, we're individuals. We're here to race Speedway and off the track we're still mates."
On the track might be another story though. While the Holder will still mentor the rising star as speedway's travelling show criss-crosses over Europe for the next eight months, when the tapes go up on Saturday in New Zealand it will be every man for himself.
"He's a competitor now, so you've got to draw the line," Holder said. "I'm his friend and all, but we're racing for a world championship.
"With the racing side of things, he's sort of on his own a little bit, but in the general life stuff, if I can help him I'll do my best."
Ward burst onto the world scene two years ago with a stunning debut podium finish at Torun in Poland, after beating two world champions in only his Grand Prix third heat race.
What to watch
Jason Crump talks Speedway Grand Prix
Despite some pundits tipping him to walk off with the world title on his full-time debut, Ward's keeping his expectations in check.
That's not to say, though, that he isn't aiming high.
"If I can run a top five at the end of the year I'll be stoked. Obviously there's a bit of pressure, but it's nice to know that people are hoping that I'll do well.
"Whatever happens, happens, really. I love racing speedway, so I'm just happy to be here."
Catch all the action from the first round of the 2013 Speedway Grand Prix LIVE, Mar 23 at 1:30pm EDT on SPEED.

The Los Angeles Clippers Are Still The Los Angeles ClippersNovember 11, 2010 – 1:18 am by Ryan Phillips
With the addition of a healthy Blake Griffin and the rapid development of super guard Eric Gordon, a lot of people expected the Los Angeles Clippers to be "exciting" this year. Their athleticism, scoring ability and flash was supposed to help the Clippers take the next step. And heck, maybe Griffin and Gordon were set to become the next dynamic young duo a la Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook.
Then, there were the veterans. Baron Davis, a guy to mentor Gordon and provide some scoring himself. Chris Kaman, a big man who, at the very least, could occupy some space in the middle and take attention away from Griffin. Throw in role players like Ryan Gomes, Rasual Butler, Craig Smith and another exciting youngster in Al-Farouq Aminu and maybe the Clippers could make some noise out west.
Or maybe not.
While Gordon and Griffin have shown flashes, the Clippers have shown that they're still the Clippers. Last night they lost a 107-95 decision to the San Antonio Spurs, dropping their record to 1-8. It was the team's 18th straight loss to the Spurs.
Kaman is currently out at least three weeks after spraining his ankle Tuesday night and Davis has only played in three games this year while recovering from a knee injury. That leaves the Clips with roughly $24 million in salary sitting on the bench.
Plus, while Gordon has looked great at times, he has currently missed the past two games with a shoulder injury.
Gordon is currently averaging 21.1 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.29 steals and 4.7 assists per game. He's shooting 47.7 percent from the field, but just 15.8 percent from beyond the arc.
Griffin has been just plain fantastic. The No. 1 pick from the 2009 NBA Draft is averaging 16.2 points and 10 rebounds per game. But over the past two games, with Gordon and co. nursing injuries, both opponents (the Hornets and the Spurs) keyed on Griffin and flustered him. He managed just 10 points and six boards against New Orleans and had 11 points and eight rebounds against the Spurs.
Even when this entire team is healthy can Gordon and Griffin really develop without much help around them?
Given the history of the Clippers franchise, probably not. Both guys will wait until they can sign max free agent deals and fly the coop.
After all, no matter who you put in those uniforms, we're still talking about the Los Angeles Clippers.

I know I wasn't the biggest Adam Lambert fan during Season 8 of "American Idol" when the San Diego artist sent shrieks heard all around the world. I was more into the feisty Latina artist Allison Iraheta and Kalamazoo's piano man, Matt Giraud. But Adam always entertained. And to me that would carry him a long way.
But then I met him in September, when the "American Idols Live Tour" stopped at the Van Andel Arena, I was prepared for the "in-your-face," and "bombastic" Adam Lambert we became familiar with on TV. Instead, if you see my interview, he appears without make up, unpretentious and talking like a normal guy.I think that's why I was so excited to see the cover art for "For Your Entertainment," which will be released Nov. 23. It's retro over-the-top fun, and it's Adam Lambert right down to the eyeliner. Did you expect anything else?
Tell me what you think about the art.

The timing of the Fed exit strategy
When will the Federal Reserve begin to execute its exit strategy? Well, as far as the interest rate component goes, keep an eye on the job market. At least that is how economists John Ryding and Conrad DeQuadros see things:
It is an empirical fact that since the Fed adopted interest rate targeting, it has never made the first move to hike rates after a recession until the unemployment rate had peaked. Although the funds rate target is unusually low, at 0%–¼%, it is also the case that the unemployment rate is unusually high, at 9.4%, and expected (by both ourselves and the Fed) to move higher. In the post-war era, only the 1981-82 recession has seen a higher unemployment rate than the current rate and that recession was accompanied by a rapid disinflation from 10.4% at the start of 1981 to 4.7% at the start of 1983.

The A to Z of Children's Health is obviously not a cookbook but a book I've been sent from one of the publishers who send me cookbooks. I found it to be OK, but a little limited, and didn't cover some of the questions I was looking for answers to - maybe because my children are at the upper end of the "Birth to 10 years" age range covered, and maybe because I was looking for information which was a little too specific. It would be incredibly hard to cover everything which could come up relating to the health of children in that age range!
I do think that the information contained is useful, and that the entries are well written, and easy for a non-medical person to understand. I like the Case Studies which give real life examples of the problems, and that there are lots of pictures, charts and illustrations.
If you have young children and are looking for a resource to use alongside information from your family doctor then this fits the bill - just be aware that it may not have answers to everything you're looking for and that the information is generalised.

And yet, after rallying for a 5-3 victory over the Bruins at PK Park, the 10th-ranked Ducks again found reason to feel good about themselves on a Sunday despite losing the first two games in the series.
Most importantly, the Ducks (29-10, 13-5 Pac-12) remain in virtual tie with Oregon State (30-8, 11-4) atop the Pac-12 Conference baseball standings.
"These guys always amaze me," UO coach George Horton said of his team. "They're not afraid to get up off the deck and do something about it. The way they respond to things is pretty spectacular."
The Ducks were shut out 1-0 both Friday and Saturday, managing a combined seven hits in those two games against a stout UCLA (25-11, 9-6) pitching staff.
Aaron Payne finally got Oregon on the board Sunday with an RBI single to score J.J. Altobelli in the third inning against UCLA left-hander Grant Watson (5-3).
Scott Heineman then delivered the game's biggest hit with a two-out, bases-loaded triple to the opposite-field gap in right-center in the fifth, scoring three runs to give the Ducks a 5-3 lead. Heineman, the reigning Pac-12 player of the week, was 0 for 8 in the series before hitting a first-pitch fastball from reliever Ryan Deeter all the way to the wall.
It was Heineman's first at-bat against Deeter, whom he called "one of my best friends." Heineman's brother, Tyler, was UCLA's starting catcher last year, and Tyler Heineman and Deeter were roommates.
"Pitchers dominated all weekend ... and we were waiting for that big hit," said Heineman, who is hitting .328 since the start of Pac-12 play.
Heineman stepped to the plate for that at-bat feeling like he "owed" starter Jake Reed. Heineman had made an error in right field in the top of the fifth that advanced a runner and helped the Bruins take a 3-1 lead.
Oregon's defense committed six errors in the three-game series; entering the series, the Ducks had made just 16 errors in 36 games to lead the nation with a .988 fielding percentage.
The defensive blunders seemed long gone after Heineman's bases-clearing triple.
"When Heineman (hit) that ball in the gap," Horton said, "you could feel the whole dugout just kind of relax a little bit. The swagger came back."
The Ducks improved to 21-0 when leading after five innings. They also improved to 7-1 in Sunday games this season. Four of those Sunday wins have come against ranked opponents — Cal State Fullerton, Vanderbilt, Arizona State and, now, UCLA — after the Ducks had dropped the first two games in the series. So give the Ducks credit for, at least, preventing bad situations from getting even worse.
"I definitely think it's a prideful thing," Reed said. "You don't want to get swept, especially on your home field. I knew going into today that our offense was going to break through and break it open."
Reed (5-3), making his second Sunday start after being demoted from Friday's "ace" role, allowed three runs on six hits in six innings. He noted that baseball can be "a cruel game" after he got the win Sunday while Oregon's Friday and Saturday starters, Tommy Thorpe and Cole Irvin — who allowed a combined one earned run in 16 innings — both took losses.
"I feel bad for those guys," Reed said, "but it was great for us to get the win."
Oregon relievers Christian Jones, Garrett Cleavinger and Jimmie Sherfy combined threw three scoreless innings Sunday. Sherfy picking up his NCAA-leading 13th save in another dominant ninth inning; his fastball hit 96 mph on the radar and he saved his best pitch, an 86 mph slider, to finish off UCLA's Shane Zeile on a swinging strike three.
It was a perfect ending to what could've been a really bad weekend.

Six years ago, after an evening of drinking at a friend's house, a 19-year-old college sophomore went to sleep and never woke up.
Daniel Meth, the teenager's 20-year-old friend, didn't call for help, fearing he would get in trouble for underage drinking. That tragedy, coupled with several other alcohol-related tragedies involving teenagers in towns across New Jersey, has prompted legislators to call for change.
They've proposed a measure that would shield someone under 21 from prosecution if that person calls for police or medical attention to aid another underage person who has had too much to drink.
Under state law, underage drinking or posession of alcohol carries a punishment of up to six months in jail and $1,000 fine, or both. The new law would allow underage drinkers to seek help without fear of legal jeopardy, provided they identify themselves to 911 and cooperate with police and medical personnel.
We can't ignore the risk involved in underage drinking or the tricky problem of teenagers too afraid to call the police. Young people will continue to get their hands on alcohol, whether from friends, parents or unscrupulous liquor vendors. Binge drinking remains a widespread problem on college campuses and alcohol plays a role in half the overdose incidents in the country.
The bill has the okay of the Senate Law, Public Safety and Veterans' Affairs Committee and is on its way to the full Senate. It is necessary legislation and should be passed.

When heading into the office you want to look and feel good. A key component of this is a comfortable foot which starts with a good pair of shoes. While trendy shoes may be your first choice, there is a way to get comfort and style in one neat package. Our selection of comfortable work shoes for women is sure to delight. We'll focus on some basic shoe categories commonly worn in the office.
Many women like to wear heels for the added height and instant posture improvement, not to mention the femininity they bring. Instead of honing in on those 3″ stilettos, opt for a mid to low heel during the work day.
A cushioned footbed and flexible rubber sole are two key ingredients that can be found in these brown Aerosoles heels to the left. Comfort isn't just about the sole. Finding a style with a higher stance or strap is also a smart foot move. The added structure will help hold your foot in place preventing your foot from sliding and rubbing uncomfortably throughout the day. Add low heel, rubber sole, and higher stance to help to ward off an uncomfortable foot.
For those women who spend a good amount of the day on their feet, a wedge shoe is a nice alternative to a traditional heel. Since you are going to work, we'd avoid rafia and bold prints in these wedges, even though they are on trend. Save those looks for the weekend and instead opt for a sleeker design in the office.
Metallic isn't off limits when done in a sophisticated way, like in these Cole Haan 'Air' Wedges. That Nike Air technology makes work shoes comfortable for standing during long presentations or running endless errands for the boss. These also have a flexible rubber sole which will prevent the ball of your foot from becoming sore when standing in heeled shoe.
This year an old shoe style is making a fresh new comeback and we love it for the comfort potential it can provide. We all know ballet flats have moved from a trend to a wardrobe staple. Some people still don't feel they make for an appropriate work shoe. If you're in that camp, have no fear a new style has emerged in the form of a smoking shoe.
With a large contingent of brands embracing this shoe, you are certain to find one that fits your foot perfectly. The structure gives them a more professional demeanor while the simple fact that they are flat help improve your foot comfort.
Avoid an uncomfortable foot and un-stylish ensemble by finding shoes that feel and look great!

The Toronto Maple Leafs finished 13th in the Eastern Conference last season, and if or when there is a season, there will need to be a lot of improvements if they want to make the playoffs.
The Leafs were below-average in many categories last season. They had poor goaltending and did not have enough secondary scoring.
If we do have a season, the teams who start fast will make the playoffs. That's what the Leafs will need to do.
Which players need to improve for the Leafs to contend in 2013? Read on to find out.

Market Ticker
For a Constitutional Scholar (Obama) he must have been asleep in class….
The 14th Amendment (in part) reads:
Section 4. The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.
Section 5. The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.
First, what is a debt? A debt is evidenced by some instrument. In this case the instrument is a Treasury Bill, Note or Bond. Whether the old-fashioned style with coupons around the edge or whether newfangled and electronic, the debt of the United States must be evidenced by a formally-issued instrument.
No other item is a "debt." A political promise is not a debt. Even a law that has been passed is not a debt. A law passed that has funds appropriated but which do not exist does not create a debt.
Only an actual issued Treasury Instrument is a debt.
Congress is given the power, explicitly to enforce all the provisions of this article (Amendment 14.)
So Congress has done so. In doing so Congress has passed legislation that limits the ability of the Treasury to issue debt to a specific maximum amount. Congress could also limit the composition (e.g. terms and types) of debt if it so decided, but it has not — that has been left to the discretion of Treasury.
The Executive has no authority to exceed that which Congress enabled, irrespective of what it may otherwise think.
However, The Executive is bound by The Constitution (and its Amendments) as is Congress.
Therefore, Treasury must pay the debts before all other bills, under The Constitution, as only the debts of the nation have preference as shown in The Constitution!
In fact there is no other place in The Constitution where preference is expressed for any particular appropriation. Further, Congress is well within its powers to authorize spending without a companion or attached revenue bill to raise the funds necessary (via taxes, imposts and excises.) There are plenty of examples where such an act might make sense (e.g. anticipated tax revenue that would exceed that originally expected, an accumulated Treasury surplus, etc.) but even if there are no funds Treasury is still constrained by the debt limit unless Congress exempts it from same.
Treasury Secretary Lew has recently threatened that he will not prioritize payments of Treasury instruments and interest should there be no increase in the debt ceiling.
This act, were he to do so, would be a black-letter impeachable offense committed by both him and Obama as the chief of the Executive branch.
Further, Treasury's "extraordinary measures", including the raiding of federal worker retiree funds in TSP accounts would be, if committed in a private context considered embezzlement. Those funds held "in trust" for someone are not yours to use (temporarily or otherwise!)
I have wondered for quite some time why Obama, Reid and Pelosi have been screaming so loudly about not prioritizing and "causing" a default. After all, it's not a default if you cannot pay for every program that was appropriated. You're just not keeping your political promises, which may***** off voters but isn't a default. A default is exactly one thing — the non-payment of coupon or principal when it comes due.
Now I understand the reason — the 14th Amendment doesn't empower The President to raise the debt ceiling on his own.
No, the 14th Amendment requires him to pay the interest and principal on Treasury Notes, Bills and Bonds before anything else should there be insufficient funds to cover it all.
John Boehner, it's time you and the rest of the Republicans shove this fact right up Obama, Pelosi's and Reid's ass, making clear that (1) you will not raise the debt ceiling and (2) you will impeach that rat bastard if he fails to cover interest and principal as is required by The Constitution.

IRON MOUNTAIN - Summer will be cool in the Upper Peninsula, the National Weather Service predicts.
From now through September, there's a greater than climatological chance of below normal temperatures, according to the Climate Prediction Center.
The long-range forecast calls for normal precipitation.

The average temperature at most places in the Upper Peninsula in June is about nine degrees higher than in May, noted Kevin Crupi, weather service meteorologist at Marquette. Sunshine peaks at 950 minutes around the summer solstice, which occurs this year at 5:51 a.m. (Central time) on Saturday, June 21.
Data from May shows the month was slightly warmer than normal at Iron Mountain-Kingsford. The average temperature was 53.9 degrees, which was 0.2 degrees above the three-decade average, Crupi said.
The highest reading was 88 degrees on May 31 and the lowest was 28 degrees on May 5. No new daily or monthly records were established.
"Despite the near normal overall conditions in May, the March through May period ended up as the fourth coldest meteorological spring on record at Iron Mountain-Kingsford due to the very cold weather that dominated in March and April, when a deep trough dominated and extensive ice cover on Lake Superior lowered temperatures further," Crupi said.
The average temperature from March through May was 36.1 degrees, which was 4.9 degrees below normal. The record-coldest spring was in 1950, when temperatures averaged 35.4 degrees.
Precipitation in May measured 2.85 inches, all of it rain, which was 0.19 inches below normal. Currently, there are no drought conditions in Michigan or Wisconsin, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor.
The weather pattern in May featured a major change soon after the middle of the month when a trough of Canadian air that had dominated since Thanksgiving finally lifted, Crupi said. Across the region, temperatures averaged 5 to 10 degrees below normal the first 17 days of May and then 5 to 10 degrees above normal after May 18.
Iron Mountain's average temperature of 53.9 degrees made it the warmest spot in the U.P. in May, while Marquette was the coldest at 46.5 degrees.
Statistics for the Iron Mountain-Kingsford Wastewater Treatment plant cooperative observer site are based on records that began in 1931. Normals used are for the period 1981 through 2010.
Some other temperature and precipitation observations across the Upper Peninsula in May:
- Ironwood, average temperature 52.2 degrees (0.3 degrees above normal); precipitation 3.85 inches (0.72 inches above normal); snowfall, none (1.9 inches below normal)
- Copper Harbor, average temperature 48.1 degrees, precipitation 2.83 inches.
- Baraga, average temperature 50.1 degrees, precipitation 2.23 inches.
- Big Bay, average temperature 49.7 degrees, precipitation 2.66 inches, snowfall 2.8 inches.
- Marquette, average temperature 46.5 degrees (4.5 degrees below normal); precipitation 2.6 inches (0.15 inches above normal); snowfall, trace (0.6 inches below normal).
- Munising, average temperature 47.7 (2.3 degrees below normal), precipitation 3.86 inches (0.88 inches above normal), snowfall 3.0 inches (2.7 inches above normal).
- Newberry, average temperature 49.7 degrees (1.9 degrees below normal), precipitation 2.98 inches (0.37 inches above normal).
- Iron River, average temperature 50.9 degrees, precipitation 2.22 inches, snowfall 0.5 inches.
- Norway, average temperature 53.5 degrees; precipitation 2.46 inches; snowfall, trace.
- Escanaba, average temperature 53.3 degrees, precipitation 2.73 inches.
- Manistique, average temperature 46.9 degrees, (2.4 degrees below normal), precipitation 2.38 inches (0.35 inches below normal).

Working as a certified childbirth educator for the past five years, Jayne Freeman continually hears one particular complaint from the pregnant women she works with: no one gives up their seats on PATH trains for pregnant women.
The Port Authority has two "priority seats" on all its PATH trains and by law, people sitting in those seats must give them to disabled riders. The Port Authority also encourages people to give up their seats to pregnant and elderly riders, however, Freeman, also a frequent PATH train rider, says that isn't happening.
A Jersey City resident, Freeman teaches childbirth classes privately as well as for Tribeca Pediatrics and Riverside Medical Group. She has appeared on MTV, teaching prenatal classes to Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi of "Snooki & JWoww," and Freeman hosts her own public access show called "Mamarama." She has also taught pregnant teenagers in four Jersey City high schools.
"All of the pregnant women in my classes have a story of how they stood there (on the train), very obviously pregnant and endured it, knowing that there were people who noticed they were pregnant and were still not willing to give up their seat," Freeman said.
Even women early in their pregnancy, who aren't yet showing, should be given a seat on trains, she said.
Freeman, who started a petition last week and has been emailing Port Authority Executive Director Patrick Foye about the issue. She saw her work recognized yesterday when the PATH sent out a text message alert that read, "Offer your seat to disabled, elderly, or pregnant riders. The law requires you give seats designated PRIORITY SEATING to disabled riders."
However, she feels that more can be done to solve the problem.
"I would like the PATH train to just change their policy so that they have an intercom announcement that says it is the law to give up your priority seating to pregnant, elderly and disabled riders," Freeman said.
The Jersey Journal caught Barbara Gay, 35, who said she was due in three weeks, as she was leaving the Journal Square PATH station.
She said this was the second time she has been pregnant while regularly using the PATH train.
"With this one, it's more common for people to see (that I'm pregnant) and not get up," she said, adding that when she feels the need to sit down she asks others to get up.
The Jersey City resident suggested the Port Authority make more announcements to tell people to offer their seats to the pregnant and disabled, noting that some people don't bother to read signs or ads.
Meanwhile, Freeman is also asking that stickers be passed out saying "Baby on Board" for pregnant women to wear, because sometimes it isn't obvious, especially in the winter when people are wearing coats, she said.
PATH has an ongoing campaign called the "PATH to Courtesy" program in which they place posters reminding riders to give up their priority seats, according to Cheryl Albiez, a spokeswoman for PATH.
However, Albiez explained that Port Authority will start looking into more aggressive ways to market the campaign and sharpen the message with more posters, better placement, tweets and text alerts about PATH's priority seating policy, and will even look into "Baby on Board" stickers.
"This issue doesn't impact me, but it impacts all the women I work with," Freeman said. "Although my focus is on pregnant women, this issue impacts anyone riding with a disability, and I'm happy to be an advocate for all of them."
Journal staff writer Jonathan Lin contributed to this report.

One that I wish I'd seen mentioned in the video was physics: see next grammartasticly incorrectified paragraph.
The learning even becomes obvious in certain games. The one I'm currently thinking about would be Garry's Mod. I mean my god, especially on a roleplay server. Not only are you constantly using physics to put together millions of simple machines to make the worlds greatest catapult, just to make a mutated crab fly across an island you're stranded on with no civilization in sight but a small grey piece of concrete in the center; there are more advanced forms of learning in the game. I can't tell you how much "expression 2" has tought me about programming (on a side note the logic gates would probably make a lot of peoples heads explode). Expression 2 is an uncompiled language, so you see HUGE differences with just slight changes in optomization in the code - 4 lines could save 2 seconds, makes it very easy to see how to put together code, and to see how bad spagetti code looks when you havent looked at it recently ^^
I'm just speculating like Scott Sharkey, but I'd say videogames have taught me a hell of a lot.
They also teach you how to snipe grandma in the head while doing handstands on a cop car. While going in a circle of course because cops in GTA are stupid ^^
Man that PP2000 is lookin sweet, cause it holds 80 rounds and has pretty much no recoil. But then theres that FAMAS over there, it's semi-auto so it wont shoot quite as fast, but it has higher chances of doing higher damages and has a much larger mag. Also I can use it has a short to med-long range gun because of it's added accuracy over the PP2000. It can also use the heartbeat sensor so it will allow me to know that an enemy is around that corner in this particular map where I always get shot down. I think I'll go with the FAMAS.
Okay so thats pretty straight forward that the FAMAS beats out the PP2000 , but still, without even thinking about it you do all that in your head, so I'd say it helps with logic. MW2 gives you, what? 10 seconds to make that decision in? And that was just the decision between TWO guns. He also talks about creating maps in your head, how do you not do that in mw2?
Wait my mistake, that FAMAS may not always be better. I forgot what he was saying about goals. First off -- before I forget it -- there are achievements, tags, emblems, challenges, and rankings to achieve/master. But now back to the topic at hand; in that same 10 seconds you make your class choice you also must create a plan, it's not linear so you can't expect to stand still and have the gun win it for you because it's "better". You have to decide whether you're going to bum rush, stay backand try to "auto-snipe" some "noobs" with that famas, keep in motion but hidden, etc. A lot of thought goes through your head you just don't notice it.
1. Don't hate on Boy Scouts.
2. Yes, your conversation is good and all, but it doesn't cover all the bases (the games you mentioned are RPGs, Simulations, and RTSs). How does Modern Warfare advance my intelligence? Because the shooters are the hot genre right now. I highly doubt they do anything for the mind other than teach people what the best guns are for killing people.
Do videogames inspire violence, or is it violence that inspires videogames?
Very beautiful
not to be a snob gazungas, but the example he showed didn't explicitly show 1/x*8, but showed 1/(x*8)...
as x approaches 8 from the function 1/(8x) the limit is 1/64. you got a 1 because you assumed that the function was (1/8)x, which in that case you would have been right. but the example he showed explicitly showed 1/x*8. so you cannot do what you did and put the x in the numerator. so if you pulled out the x, it would have been 1/8 * 1/x = 1/64 as x approaches 8 or better yet just do the math of the funtion with an 8.
I am not trying to be a snob like i know everything, i am just saying the limit is not eight (which i am not even sure sharkey even tried to get the right answer) but its not one. calculus is hard, that why you gotta gets the facts straight.
as a math major with a concentration in operations research, keep playing video games and keep studying calc,
I've been playing violent video games since I came outa the womb. I do not believe they make you violent however without proper guidence from parents or a role modle they can become your "role modle" which can make you violent I guess? I'm 18 and I blame it on no role modle.
Oh btw I'm a calculus student in hs atm and the limit as x approaches 8 of the function 1/8x is 1 just so you know it was wrong ;)

it's all so frustrating.
another thing i realised a few days ago when discussing the questionable behaviour of a particular member, i can't even find the rules any more!
I wasn't suggesting earlier that they bring back the old format for good, i was merely suggesting they bring it back until such time that they get a workable solution. this really can't go on for much longer. the layout is so bad that everything is difficult to find. at least the old format worked.
as for the ticket, this topic is entitled "Can't Find Something in the New Design? Ask Here!", that just what i'm doing.
knightspawn5. I think you are right--some of both. However, chess.com might not need more staff if the staff members who are responsible for the precipitous implementation of this half-baked mess had used more prudence and less impulsiveness with respect to it and had had more care and respect for their customers. Also, you only state the obvious when you observe that no one of us can get more staff for chess.com to clean up this morass of confusion they have created or that no one of us can do it ourselves. I'm certainly not under the impression that we can do that. But that doesn't mean we have to like the chaos into which they have thrown us or can't say what we think about it.
@knightpawn5. If the chess.com staff is working so hard and still can't get the job done, one might conclude one of two possibilities: 1) Chess.com is understaffed; or 2) Those who manage chess.com bit off more than they could chew when they took their flying leap over the cliff with this new interface, which obviously was considerably less than well thought out (if you don't mind the mixed metaphor).
Or it could be a little of both which I think it is. Will that get them to hire more people to come in and work on the new interface? Will that change the fact that we have a new layout. No, to both. Now, what can you, or, I do to remedy that. Still comes down to 3 choices. Which includes me. I can complain more, I already see that's not going to work. I wait and let them do their work. Or I can leave. There are no other choices as far as I can see. All the complaints they have. What is there left for any of us to do? That choice is yours. I myself am waiting. For now..... Tomorrow is another day.

Yes, I agree, it is frustrating. But not a whole lot that any of us can do about it other than whats been and being done. I don't like the slow process either. But I do know that anyime a site starts Beta, it's gonna have some bugs and problems. Unlike other beta sites here we do have people taking to us. Others we dont. Or, at least I havent found them on either Windows 7 or 8 yet. Or other beta sites. Thinking all this will be fixed in a month is just not gonna make it so. Thinking they are going to hire an army of workers to come in and do it just dont make it so...
Yes . The old format worked and worked well. I miss it. It was user friendy. I saw all my friends online at the same time. I saw all my team mates nline when I was in my team pages. No one else saw my friends on my homepage. I had a way to get my current games in one click. My list goes on. That has all gone. It's just gonna take them time to get this to where it's user friendly. Thats just te way it is. I have accepted that as I can do nothing else. I just waiting for it to change. Not much else I can do...
Okay, I will tell all the staff to go stand in the corner for not making it perfect to what we think it should have looked and worked like. You must think I like it then. I was one of the first to message Erik and give him a tongue lashing about this. Still am. But the simple fact is, things change, customer or not. Or do you run into every store because they changed thing and complain about it. I don't think so. We were all told this was gonna change, the asked us to go check it out and let them know what we thought. Most did. At Least I know I did. I didn't like it at all and still don't cause it not like the old format which I told the was more user friendly than this monstrosity.
Guess what, I was told that this was the change and they need to work on it and were not going back to the old. They ask for the time to make the changes. They even said they knew it wasn't perfect. I agreed , it not. But it has changed. Were stuck with it and if we all cant like the product as customers, we are free to find another that suits us better. It's that simple, we still have the 3 choices. They told us it was coming, they gave us a look if we wanted it, and then they changed it. What more could they have done? There nothing perfect in this world. Lord know's this isn't. But it is what we got. it needs changes. It's not gonna happen in a few weeks. But they are working on it.
You obviously missed the point. However, you really should learn not to put words into other people's mouths. I said nothing about perfection, for example. Further, you should try to understand that giving one's opinion about something is not tantamount to complaining. They are not synonymous. Also, regardless of what your opinion is, we all have just as much right to express ours as you do yours without your getting overly excited about it. I gave no indication that I childishly expect the chess.com staff to immediately jump right up and act upon my opinions or implement my wishes. Finally, I think, benighted as you may think we are, we all can figure out what our choices are without benefit of being enlightened by your revelation of them. There's nothing complicated about them or your three-point analysis. You would do yourself a favor, I think, if you would learn to read more carefully and thoughtfully.
I never did say you said anything about perfection, I said it. Shame you can't tell the difference. Nor did I say you were complaining, I did tell gambitman that he could complain louder if he wanted. The conversaion between he and I had no bearing on you at all. Now you seem to be doing the same you accuse me of. Putting words into people mouths. Nor did I say you couldn't give your opinion. Like you, I gave mine. You, I think, miss the point, everyone's opinions, mine, yours, or anyone else's will not change anything here. They will get to it when they get to it. The 3 choice are still in effect, and, always will be. Obviously. Feel free to express yourself with your opinions. I did. I never said that expressing an opinion, or, complaining was synonymous with each other. You said that. To borrow your words, You really should learn not to put words into other people's mouths. You would do yourself a favor, I think, if you would learn to read more carefully and thoughtfully.
As they say, if it ain't broken, don't fix it - now I haven't read this entire topic, so sorry if repeating, but where is the search members? In fact where is members, country list etc. And why is the graph with game seeks now miniscule? I do prefer the board in the centre though.
Members are at the top of your home page under the topic Share, along with the interactive map. Just Click on members. Click on view map and it will enlarge. Game seeks, you click on you home button, on the next page you will see open seeks to you right. Click on that and the page will come up and its bigger......
Right knightspawn, found it, thanks
knightspawn5. Suit yourself. However, regarding "perfection" and "complain," you should familiarize yourself with the word "implication." It seems you use the rhetorical device without knowing it or even knowing what it is. In any case, I'm not going to waste any more of my time with your bickering about this matter. Good luck with the improvement of your rhetorical and reading skills.
Same to you. I wish you the same improvement my friend...
on the top when you click Forums once you get a rolout of different options like unread topics etc. But there is no option to go to the forum in general and see what the ub fora are.Only if you type in the url chess.com/forum you get the overview . a(nother) lack of the new design i geuss
If you click on "Forums" itself (ignoring the drop-down options), it will take you to the list of all chess.com forums. I think that is what you are looking for.
sorry Joseph but that doesnt work (using Chrome on android)
I clicked on the link and saw what you were talking about, I went up and clicked on forums and got the same page. Not sure what you mean. A drop box come down when you put your cursor on it. Put your cursor on forums and click that and the page comes up.
Hi there,
Was wondering if we are still able to copy and paste You tube videos and place in our profile. I have tried several times, and the video appears as if all is okay, but when I "save changes" and check, it isn't there. Any hints?

House Will Pass ENDA in Weeks?! Somebody Tell HRC, 'Cause They Should Probably Hear About It
It's not just Rep. Barney Frank who has the power to see the future. Rep. Jared Polis, the Coloradan Democrat (who's sponsoring the Student Non-Discrimination Act ), says the Employment Non-Discrimination Act is going to pass in just a few moments, in what's perhaps the most casual revelation that, uh, there's movement on the issue.
"We have the votes to pass ENDA in the House and we hope to bring it before the committee I serve on – the Education Labor Committee – within the month – by the end of April," he tells Frontiers's Karen Ocamb. "And then, once it passes the committee, it shouldn't take more than a couple of weeks – a week or two – to schedule it for the floor. It's just a scheduling matter. We think we would have passed it by now if it wasn't for healthcare taking up much of the workload of our committee. I don't know about the Senate – but in the House, we expect to pass out substantially. It has substantial support. The Senate requires 60 votes so it's a matter of getting some Republican moderates to support it."
That's great news! And certainly, for being so tied in to Washington, and collecting tens of millions of dollars every year with the promise it will lobby lawmakers and work with them to push ahead legislation just like this, the Human Rights Campaign knows all about this time line, right? Well, we looked here and here, and couldn't find anything. Can someone please forward this post to the office of Joe Solmonese? Because he probably wants to alert his 750,000 "members" about the good news. And ask for more money.
Why does it matter if HRC hears about it? If it suceeds they will come out and claim it was their quiet behind the scenes lobbying that got it done, and if it fails they will say "That is why we did not try to lobby this, it was doomed to fail and we knew this."
Why work when you can just claim credit for for somebody else's sucess, or for knowing the future and use either one to keep collecting money to throw your next black tie event? My buddy calls them "Human Rights Champagne" and that name fits them perfectly.Mar 30, 2010 at 1:54 pm · @Reply ·
ENDA won't be voted on in the House because it has NO chance in the US Senate. Jared Polis is fundraising with these comments. He is offering hope, where there isn't any. There may be enough support in the House, but none in the US Senate.
Pelosi promised her Members that she wouldn't bring ENDA up for a vote before the Mid-terms unless the Senate had the votes to pass it. There are only 51 supporters of ENDA in the US Senate. Because LGBT-issues are non-negotiable, that isn't about to change. Despite the hundreds of millions spent by HRC to lobby Congress, they've never changed a single vote.
In order to pass ENDA we need to either change some Senators or change the minds of their constituents. We're not doing wither on of those things.
Polis should know better.
If it's not attached to an appropriations bill, it won't see the light of day in the Senate and this is just a ruse.
You guys commenting so far certainly aren't glass-is-half-full kinda folks, are you? ; }
@fredo777: "Glass half-filled?"
Politicians positions on LGBT-issues are based on their morality and the majority beliefs of their constituents. They don't just magically change their minds. (In 40 years only one US Senator has ever changed his mind about LGBT issues – after he announced he was leaving office – Senator Chris Dodd).
Some of us have counted the votes. ENDA have NO chance in the US Senate. That's why the House won't waste their time or risk anything controversial before the Mid-terms.
It's not about optimism, it's about math. Math doesn't lie.
@fredo777: AndrewW will respond once he copies & pastes several dozen paragraphs together from other posts he has made here & elsewhere!
ENDA is anyones priority in congress @ the moment if i'm reading the tea leaves right
@fredo777: PEOPLE can change their minds – not US Senators. Not unless their constituents change their minds. Our Senators consistently represent the majority of their constituents or they don't get elected or re-elected.
For 58 years (so far) we have lobbied Senator Robert Byrd (WV-D) hoping he'd change his mind. He hasn't and won't – 1) He is a Baptist and 2) 70% of West Virginia's residents are anti-gay.
It is folly to believe we can change votes in the congress – it just doesn't happen for LGBT issues. That's why HRC is such a waste of money.
Wow! New paragraphs! And theyre GOOD too! Thanks AW.
@AndrewW: If the bill is voted on as a part of another bill (as is being suggested) then it can pass the Senate.
@D'oh, The Magnificent: DADT is in line for attachment to the Defense Spending Bill, not ENDA. But, attaching to another Bill will need 60 votes and we only have 54 Votes for DADT and fewer for ENDA.
The US Senate is the problem. Victory Fund, HRC, NGLTF, Equality Giving and other LGBT groups are doing NOTHING to change US Senators. Some of HRC's wasted $50 million a year could be out to better use.

The newly-anointed No. 10 team in the nation looked sluggish in its final full-fledged scrimmage of fall practice Saturday.
So said Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville of his Tigers about the time the Associated Press poll came out with the Tigers ranked 10th. (Click ``continue reading the entry...'' and you'll find the poll.)
Tate said he scored on a 65-or-70-yard run and Rod Smith said he had around a 50-yard touchdown catch from Kodi Burns.
Here are some more details:
Tuberville said Auburn ran 90 plays, plus about 30 more kicking plays. A variety of kickoffs, punts and field goals were live.
``We were awfully sluggish coming out of two-a-days, but we could expect that,'' Tuberville said. ``It looked like we were running in the mud at times. But we got something done. Mainly, this scrimmage was for some of the younger guys who needed to play, needed to get tired, needed to get hit.''
**The downside? ``Seven or eight penalties." ...Freshman defensive lineman Jomarcus Savage hurt his shoulder, ``but he should be back next week the doctor said. It's nothing serious,'' Tuberville said....Auburn ran two-minute drills at the end of the scrimmage. ``One group did well on offense; the other one didn't do very well.''...Tailbacks Brad Lester and Tristan Davis didn't play because of minor leg issues. Slot receiver Mario Fannin didn't play because of a hamstring injury.
**The upside? A lot of coaching video to digest. ``Now, we've got to find out who's going to play, starting with the freshmen up and who we want to start putting on special teams.''...A bigger upside? ``One guy who did show some elusiveness and made some big plays was Philip Pierre-Louis. He's not a big target, but quarterbacks have a lot of confidence in him, and confidence that he can make plays afterward.''...Tate said the offense scored ``five or six'' touchdowns...Tuberville said, ``Harry Adams made a nice interception. We blew the whistle. He probably could have run it back but when I saw he get to the sideline, we didn't want to embarrass the offensive linemen trying to chase him.''...``Mike Slade made a couple of good plays, broke on the ball well. We tried to throw on the safeties today a little bit more, tried to throw in the middle of the field. I think Mike is really improved. He's going to see a lot of playing time..Fifth-year senior Jonathan Vickers, who came to Auburn as a walk-on quarterback, was awarded a scholarship. He's a backup safety this season. ``We try to do that every year, reward somebody that's really worked hard,'' Tuberville said.
``I thought our quarterbacks did a pretty decent job throwing the ball, not anything spectacular. The biggest thing is making the right decisions in these scrimmages. When you have two guys vying for a starting position...I thought both of them did about the same. Both of them scored points.''

Indianola shed fire likely intentional
INDIANOLA — A shed about 20 feet from an Indianola residence may have been intentionally set on fire the morning of Oct. 18.
Emergency crews were dispatched to a home off Orca Drive at 12:34 a.m. to a report of a house fire. What crews found was a 10-by-10 foot outbuilding on fire, according to a report from North Kitsap Fire & Rescue spokeswoman Michele Laboda.
Officials investigating the scene including the Suquamish Police Department and Kitsap County Fire Marshal "have ruled out accidental causes," according to the report.
There were no injuries.
The incident is under investigation.
Crews from NKF&R and Poulsbo Fire responded to the fire after the home's residents called 911. Two adults and three children exited the house safely.
Anyone with information about the fire is encouraged to call the Fire Marshal's Office at 360-337-5777, or Suquamish police, 360-598-4334.

Oldest Auschwitz survivor dies at age of 109
By Jennifer Lipman, October 23, 2012
Polish officials have confirmed the death of the oldest known survivor of the Auschwitz concentration camp.
Antoni Dobrowolski, who was not Jewish, was sent to the camp in 1942 for teaching Polish children in secret during the German occupation of Poland. When the Nazis invaded, education was suppressed in the country.
He survived not only Auschwitz, which he later described as "worse than Dante's hell," but also Gross Rosen and Sachsenhausen concentration camps in Germany.
Mr Dobrowolski, who worked as a teacher after the war in Debno, is to be buried in the town on Wednesday.
The Nazis killed at least 1.9 million non-Jewish Poles during the Holocaust.

Another Round of Snow
The NWS Hastings coverage area is located within the orange
(Click Radar Loop To Enlarge)
A quick moving upper level shortwave disturbance moving in from the northwest, in combination with a strong upper level jet stream, resulted in a prolonged light to moderate snow event across much of South Central Nebraska on Thursday, Dec. 8, 2011. Although the highest amounts were only in the 3-4 inch range and targeted areas near and north of Interstate 80, these amounts ended up being about twice as much as originally forecast. North Central Kansas largely missed out on the snow, with most places barely reporting a dusting. This snow event, combined with the first widespread snowfall of the season that occurred several days earlier on Dec. 3, left much of South Central Nebraska under 5-7 inches of total snow cover.
Below is a table of selected snowfall totals reported by NWS Cooperative Obeservers:

At some point, no later than Saturday night, the first big fight of the new decade reduces to gumption and will -- and amid the plentiful debate about what the 38-year-old Mosley has left, the underdog insists it will be more than people think, and perhaps even more than the 33-year-old Mayweather has.
"I see where he's slipped," Mosley said Tuesday. "And I know there's certain things that's going on with his body that he doesn't understand yet.
"I won't tell him, either. I'll show him."
When: May 1
Where: MGM Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas
Who: Floyd Mayweather (40-0, 25 KOs), Grand Rapids, vs. Shane Mosley (46-5, 39 KOs, 1 NC), Pomona, Calif., 12 rounds, welterweights.
TV: HBO Pay-Per-View ($54.95)
Countdown, three days: Although the popular Internet fan polls are running quite close in a fight nicknamed "Who R U Picking?" the folks putting their money where their mouth is aren't buying it. Mayweather opened as a -250 favorite but has been bet to -410 (wager $410 to win $100), while Mosley has gone from +200 down to +310 (a $100 wager would win $300).
He never looks exactly like a fighter when removed from the ring, nor does he carry himself the way one may expect from a fighter.
If there is one overarching truth about the difference between Mayweather and Mosley, it is that not everyone likes Mayweather, but few are ambivalent about him and he has pushed himself into household-name status, while almost everyone likes Mosley, yet he never quite transformed into the super-selling superstar and tends to find himself defaulted into the biggest fights.
That's exactly what happened when Mayweather's talks with Manny Pacquiao fell through, leaving Mosley as the Grand Rapids native's most attractive Plan B.
The prevailing sentiment is that Mayweather-Mosley would have been a much better fight earlier in their careers.
Mosley counters that his 2002-04 slump, when he won once in a six-fight span that included two losses each to Vernon Forrest and Winky Wright, and a no-contest result in a foul-marred fight with Raul Marquez, was the result of life becoming "overbearing sometimes on you."
"The fight game, people don't understand, is mental," he said. "You can be strong and fast, but it's really a mental game. I think that people will just not realize that. Yeah, you can get knocked out with a hard punch, but it's really a mental game. I think, mentally, at that point of my career, you can see I wasn't on top of my game."
Asked what he meant, Mosley suggested that his professional timeline provides the answer -- a clear reference to the failing professional relationship with his father and ex-trainer, Jack, whom he fired after the first loss to Wright in 2004.
John David Jackson trained Mosley for three fights, including another loss to Wright, then Jack Mosley returned for four fights, including a loss to Miguel Cotto. Mosley said he is more comfortable now, in his second fight under Naazim Richardson.
"You have different people come into your life, different trainers come in and do different things, different relationships, everything," Mosley said. "Different things can come into your life that can screw you around a little bit. Once you start finding your way out of it, things start looking different."
Mosley said Mayweather's professional perfection is a dual product of skill and taking the right fights at the right times.
The question is whether Mosley falls into the latter category.
"He might believe that's true and that might be why the fight is taking place. But I know that it's not true," Mosley said.
Saturday night, the truth will be uncovered in 12 rounds or less, and the underdog said he has plenty left to dent that 40-0 record.
"Every time I fight, I'm looking to knock the guy out," he said. "In my mind, I look at it as a knockout. And if it's not a knockout, then I'll put the 12 rounds in the bank and win in 12 rounds."

The free weekly direct action newsheet published in Brighton since 1994 - Copyleft - Information for Action
Those hilarious madcap god-bothering racists UKIP are planning a meeting in Portslade (just up the road from SchNEWS' TOWERS) next Tuesday (18th). Unite against Fascism and other local anti-fascists plan to make a ruckus outside.
Earlier this year Nigel Farage went to Hove and was opposed by a mass demo There were also more peaceful attempts to disturb UKIP by reporting a cancellation of the Hove meeting. In-between the talks of denied Holocaust claims and being caught in the rain that "was caused by the gays", UKIP will be talking about topics such as banning the immigrants. Or maybe they won't get a chance to talk. Who knows?
Schnews will be live on the scene!
