Bob Kwas, 73, artist, Art League instructor, model railroad enthusiast
Robert D. Kwas, 73, an Oak Park resident for 33 years, died on June 25, 2012. Born to Helen and Stanley Kwas in Racine, Wis., on Jan. 4, 1939, he first showed artistic promise as a boy, drawing at his grandmother's dining room table during World War II. At the age of 9, his parents provided him with private art lessons. He attended the University of Wisconsin and graduated from the American Academy of Art in Chicago, then worked for many years as a graphic designer and art director, but dedicated his later years to the fine arts. His paintings were known for their soothing colors and rural compositions of fields, farms and forests, reflecting the influence of working on a farm when he was 12, and hunting with his dad in the Wisconsin woods as a teen. His award-winning paintings have hung in many national, regional and local exhibits and are part of many personal and corporate collections.
Active in the Oak Park Art League (OPAL) for over 30 years, he also belonged to many other art organizations in the Chicago area. He taught art classes at OPAL, Triton College, and Cheney Mansion. For many years, he volunteered at Cheney Mansion, serving as a train conductor (and sometimes Santa) at the annual Breakfast, Lunch & Tea with Santa.
He was a member who served on numerous committees of the Oak Park Society of Model Engineers, a model railroad club, and was a huge fan of the Green Bay Packers and antique autos.
In 1963, he married Kathleen Kornack, and in 1965, their daughter Shawn was born. His second marriage was to Jean Jebe in 1975, and son Ethan was born in 1980. Bob and Jean shared their 37th wedding anniversary on May 31 in the Intensive Care Unit of Rush Oak Park Hospital. Three days later he was transported to Rush University Medical Center's ICU, where he died three weeks later.
Bob Kwas is survived by his wife, Jean; he daughter and son-in-law, Shawn Kwas and Robert Nordland; his son, Ethan Kwas; and his extended family and many friends. Cremated on July 5, his ashes will be buried in the family plot in Racine.
To honor a life well lived, family and friends are welcome to gather at the Oak Park Art League, 720 Chicago Ave. on Saturday, Aug. 4, from 2-4 p.m. to share their tributes and memories. In lieu of flowers, the Kwas family is accepting donations for the Robert Kwas Memorial Award Fund, which will provide monetary awards for future artwork exhibited at OPAL. To donate, please email email@example.com.

1 Rose in Context The Teaching of Reading in Initial Teacher Education KATHY HALL National University of Ireland, Cork UCET, Sept. 11 th, 2007
2 overview 1.Preparing reading teachers: the context 2.Reading pedagogy: goals and influences 3.An expansive view of reading 4.Competences of successful teachers 5.Knowledge of debates, reform efforts 6.Conceptualizing learning, pedagogy, research
3 1. Preparing reading teachers: the context Standards, accountability and league tables: what to attend to Diversity, inclusion, multiculturalism Vast amount of knowledge, research evidence and understanding now available Debates in the media Reform efforts, policy initiatives Student experience: School and College
4 2. Goals & Influences AP (Hall, 2006, adapted fromTaylor et al, 2001)
5 An expansive view of reading Literacy teaching throughout pupils school career Critical, independent thinkers Range of texts Exposure to literature Visual and hyper-textual modes of communication
6 Successful teachers: what makes a difference? 1. Authentic literacy experiences 2. Integration and application 3. Coaching/mentoring & instructional density 4. Formative assessment 5. Dialogic classrooms 6. Engagement/intellectual challenge
7 Knowledge of debates and reform efforts 1970s the code 1980comprehension 1990s literature Hierarchies: privileging some aspects over others? (Raphael,06)
8 Conceptualizing Learning, Pedagogy and Research Individualistic Psychology Cultural Psychology (Social-practice based, relational perspective)
9 Individualistic Psychology Individual mental capacity Learning as individual possession Learning can be measured Individual differences matter Age-dependent patterns of growth Uniform developmental trajectory Can specify discrete sequential set of skills to be systematically taught
10 Individualistic Psychology (contd.) Strong emphasis on programmes Learning as transferable Positioning of the teacher Positioning of the researcher
11 Cultural Perspective Fundamentally different and more complex Meanings and intentions Cultural mediators Learning as changes in participation
12 Cultural Perspective (contd.) Learning concerns the whole person Learning: participating What we learn with the greatest investment is what enables participation in the communities that define us as knowers (Wenger, 1998, 60) Breaks down dualisms
13 Cultural Perspective (contd.) It probably makes more sense to talk about how learning acquires people more than it makes sense to talk about how people acquire learning. Individually we may spend our time trying to learn, but this phenomenon pales before the fact that, however hard we try, we can only learn what is around us to be learned (McDermott, 1996, 277)
14 Cultural Perspective (contd.) What is of concern is the practice: how do learners become imbued with the practice? Doing (vs knowing) While opportunities to participate are essential, they are not equally available to all
15 Teaching reading as science, art, craft The psychology of reading development Knowledge of language structure Competence in helping children learn language, learn through language, and learn about language
16 Key messages a) learning to read is a complex process that requires many skills and abilities b) the beginner reader and the student teacher benefit tremendously from teachers/tutors/lecturers/mentors who understand the reading process, assessment, and different approaches to developing reading c) the beginner reader and the student teacher benefit also from being in a school where headteachers and leaders know about the reading process, where reading success is prioritized and where leadership obtains the right balance between facilitating teacher autonomy, creativity and initiative in matters of teaching approach & direction and willingness to re- examine practice.

Most of the major media outlets that cover the sport will be on hand in the Windy City, as will HawkeyeNation.com and 90% of the media that covers the Iowa Hawkeyes on a week in and week out basis.
This year, one of the things we are adding to our arsenal to cover the Hawkeyes is our twitter page at www.twitter.com/hawkeyenation.
Brian Finley began using this medium for HawkeyeNation.com at the 2009 Wrestling Nationals and the feedback was very positive. Back in June, we decided we would use this regularly during the entire Hawkeye sports year, and have been using it to alert Iowa fans to Hawkeye related news items since then.
For the next several months and thereafter, our twitter page will be a supplement to what we will be doing here at HawkeyeNation.com. Breaking news requires as many vehicles and formats as possible to get the word out, and it doesn't remain a secret for very long. Our approach will be to make sure you stay as informed as possible on all things related to the Hawks.
Being that twitter only allows for a maximum of 140 characters used in each message, the stories will still be expanded upon here at the site, so we believe this will augment what it is we do on a daily basis during each Iowa sports season.
This will be in addition to our photos, articles, columns, transcripts, audio and video features we will be filing not only from Chicago, but for the entire Iowa football, basketball and wrestling campaigns.
Be sure to get signed up at our twitter page, as it's a free service and requires very little to 'get in the game'. While you won't be left out in the cold if you choose not to sign up for it, there may be instances where we will first report news via our twitter page because we can do that via our cell phones, if we are not at a computer when we learn of something, or are unable to access the computer for a while. But we can 'tweet' about breaking news, 24/7. Just click on the link above to get signed up, and you will join roughly 500 other Hawkeye fans that have already done so.
We'll be tweeting on the way to Chicago, while we are there and on the way home, along with filing stories and photos. Also, Kirk Ferentz meets with the Iowa media around 1:30 on Monday..looks for tweets and reports to follow soon after.
Thank you for making HawkeyeNation.com a part of your daily Iowa Hawkeye experience, and we look forward to serving you once again during the 2009 Iowa Hawkeye Sports season.

Changes in seasons and season length are an indicator, as well as an effect, of climate change. Seasonal change profoundly affects the balance of life in ecosystems and impacts essential human activities such as agriculture and irrigation. This study investigates the uncertainty of season length in Karnataka state, India, due to the choice of scenarios, season type and number of seasons. Based on the type of season, the monthly sequences of variables (predictors) were selected from datasets of NCEP and Canadian General Circulation Model (CGCM3). Seasonal stratifications were carried out on the selected predictors using K-means clustering technique. The results of cluster analysis revealed increase in average, wet season length in A2, A1B and B1 scenarios towards the end of 21st century. The increase in season length was higher for A2 scenario whereas it was the least for B1 scenario. COMMIT scenario did not show any change in season length. However, no change in average warm and cold season length was observed across the four scenarios considered. The number of seasons was increased from 2 to 5. The results of the analysis revealed that no distinct cluster could be obtained when the number of seasons was increased beyond three.

Shuttle Systems
One-level and multi-level shuttles for pallets, trays, cartons & bins
SSI Schaefer shuttle systems are used when quick material transport and short access times are required. They are also a crucial component of a cost-optimized logistics chain. Flexibility with regard to capacity and high performance of the shuttle systems is essential.
The task: Optimal warehouse consolidation, fast access and optimized ROI combined with reliable and flexible technology.
The solution: Compared to miniload and common storage - retrieval machines, shuttle systems consist of flexible vehicles to transport individual units in a channel storage system. The vehicle travels on rails, but independent of the rack structure on storage levels.

Hamilton Accies 0-3 St Johnstone
- From the section Football
Stevie May's double helped St Johnstone book their place in the Scottish League Cup quarter-finals at the expense of Hamilton Academical.
The striker, who spent last season on loan at Accies, headed home early on at New Douglas Park.
Anthony Andreu came close to a leveller when he fired against the post midway through the first half.
Gwion Edwards fired Saints' second and a long-range effort from May completed the Perth side's win.
Hamilton went into the game buoyed by a five-point lead at the top of the Scottish Championship, but top-flight Saints quickly dampened their hosts' enthusiasm.
Dave Mackay's cross was headed back across goal by Steven MacLean and May applied the finish.
Andreu was frustrated to see his shot rebound off the goal frame and Accies soon found themselves defending again as MacLean tested goalkeeper Kevin Cuthbert.
Another strike by Andreu flashed past Alan Mannus' goal just before the break.
Cuthbert denied Nigel Hasselbanik early in the second half and Hamilton retained hope that they could turn the tie around.
Michael Devlin was unable to keep his header down and the same player sliced wide of the St Johnstone goal moments later.
But any prospect of a comeback was ended when Hasselbaink's replacement Edwards picked up the loose ball from a slack pass-back and bundled home from close range for his first St Johnstone goal, with the Welshman having joined on loan from Swansea.
And May netted his sixth goal of the season with an excellent strike from 25 yards in the last minute.
Hamilton manager Alex Neil: "We had long spells of pressure in the second half, we maybe could've got something and got ourselves back into the match.
"I've got a really young side and we're at the start of our journey as a team. It just shows us where we want to aspire to be, the hard work that we've got to put in to play at that level.
"But I thought for spells in the game in terms of moving the ball we competed really well. I didn't think we were completely outclassed.
"Up front they were a real handful, they had pace and power and it caused us problems.
"I can't have any complaints from my lads, they tried their heart out and at times we played some nice football without really hurting them.
"St Johnstone deserve to win the tie, but not by three goals."
St Johnstone manager Tommy Wright: "I'm pleased with it. We thought it was going to be a difficulty tie and it was a difficult game.
"In the end, the quality of our play, the work-rate and our attitude was spot on. It was a a professional job and we showed a lot of quality as well throughout the game.
"Overall, we were comfortable in the game.
"Stevie May had a good all-round performance tonight, which I'm delighted with. His link-up play was good and obviously he caps it off with two good goals.
"We're just delighted to win the game and be in the cup because it is important for the club to get a good cup run.
"I'm really pleased to be in the next round and I'm absolutely delighted with the performance."

La Lontananza Nostalgica Utopica Futura
March 4, 2014 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
| FreeEvent Navigation
Luigi Nono's La Lontananza Nostalgica Utopica Futura is an extraordinary voyage through the
history, present, and future of the violin. Exploring relationships between the human and the technologically mediated, between the audience, the performers, and the work's creators (Nono and the violinist Gidon Kremer), and between sound and silence, this richly layered and deeply moving work presents a dramatic journey, as both violinist and electronic sound wander throughout the performance space.
Guest Performers, Speakers, Artists:
Miranda Cuckson (violin) and Christopher Burns' (electronics) sensitive and detailed interpretation of the work combines extensive experience (Burns is the only American interpreter of the piece with a ten-year record of performances) with new discoveries in performance practice (Cuckson is the first violinist to realize Nono's instructions regarding the combination of singing and playing in the second and third sections of the work).

G.Skill 2x4GB CL7 1600 MHz Trident DDR3 review
We feel that more memory is rather important, and in that trend memory manufacturers have started to increase the density of DIMM modules. Where 1 and 2GB DIMM modules have been the standard, we now see very good progress in 4 GB DIMM modules. Today we\'ll do things a little different, G.Skill designed a 8GB low voltage DDR3 kit (2x 4GB) that can be set at 1600 MHz yet still run a CAS latency of 7. And that is truly interesting because the denser the ICs get, the higher latency typically gets.

Justification: This species has an extremely large range, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion (Extent of Occurrence <20,000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size, habitat extent/quality, or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation). Despite the fact that the population trend appears to be decreasing, the decline is not believed to be sufficiently rapid to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population trend criterion (>30% decline over ten years or three generations). The population size may be moderately small to large, but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population size criterion (<10,000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be >10% in ten years or three generations, or with a specified population structure). For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern. |

Habitat and Ecology: | Behaviour It is not a migrant, being territorial and sedentary within a permanent range (Scott and Rose 1996), although in South Africa some birds move from rivers to large local open waters to roost, returning to the rivers in the early morning (Scott and Rose 1996). This species breeds irregularly, the timing of breeding varying with locality (del Hoyo, et al. 1992), and throughout both breeding and non-breeding seasons the species remains dispersed as individuals or single pairs (Kear 2005b). It does not form large aggregations (Kear 2005b), although roosting flocks may be large (Brown, et al. 1982). Adults undergo a flightless moulting period lasting around 25-30 days; males moulting between October and February (numbers peaking in November), females between November and February (numbers peaking in December) (Hockey, et al. 2005). The species is diurnal, usually resting at night and spending daylight hours feeding, sleeping and preening (Brown, et al. 1982). Habitat This species prefers fast-flowing shallow rivers and streams with rocky substrates, particularly in wooded and mountainous country (Johnsgard 1978, Hockey, et al. 2005) up to 4,250 m (Scott and Rose 1996). It can also be found in open, arid habitats and on lakes, reservoirs, lagoons, sandy-bottomed estuaries, stagnant or slow-flowing water (Johnsgard 1978, Brown, et al. 1982), and sewage ponds (Hockey, et al. 2005). During this species' flightless moult period it requires cover near its foraging areas (e.g. lodged branches or undercut banks) (Hockey, et al. 2005). Diet It has an omnivorous diet consisting of waterweeds and other aquatic vegetation, agricultural grain (Johnsgard 1978, Hockey, et al. 2005), fruits from terrestrial plants overhanging the water, mulberries (Morus), firethorn (Pryacantha) berries, fallen acorns (Hockey, et al. 2005), aquatic insects and their larvae, crustaceans, larval amphibians and fish spawn (Johnsgard 1978, Hockey, et al. 2005). Breeding site Ground cavity nests and elevated tree-nesting sites have been reported for this species, but usually nests are sited close to running water on islands, grassy river banks, in reedbeds or amongst driftwood (Johnsgard 1978). Important criteria for suitable nest sites are close proximity to water and near invisibility from above (Johnsgard 1978). |
Systems: | Terrestrial; Freshwater; Marine |
Continuing decline in area, extent and/or quality of habitat: | Unknown |
Generation Length (years): | 6.6 |
Movement patterns: | Not a Migrant |
Congregatory: | Congregatory (and dispersive) |
Major Threat(s): | The species is threatened by deforestation in Kenya (del Hoyo, et al. 1992), and as it is a river specialist it is vulnerable to habitat loss through river degradation (Hockey, et al. 2005) such as dam building, water extraction (Hockey, et al. 2005, Kear 2005b), siltation, pollution, clearing of riparian vegetation and alien biota (Hockey, et al. 2005). Hybridisation of the species with Mallard Anas platyrhynchos is also a potential threat (Hockey, et al. 2005). |

NEW YORK (AP) Prince Fielder (FSY), AL MVP Josh Hamilton (FSY), major league home run champion Jose Bautista (FSY) and Boston closer Jonathan Papelbon (FSY) headed 119 players who filed for salary arbitration Friday.
All expect to get large raises, either in settlements or in cases that go to hearings next month. Fielder made $11.25 million with the Milwaukee Brewers last year, when he hit .261 with 32 homers and 114 RBI. He is eligible for free agency after next season. Papelbon, who also can become a free agent after the season, made $9.35 million last year. He was 5-7 with a 3.90 ERA — two runs higher than in 2009 — striking out 76 in 67 innings. Hamilton, not eligible for free agency until after the 2012 season, batted a major league-best .359 with 32 homers and 100 RBI last year, continuing his resurgence following cocaine and alcohol addition. He missed much of the last month of the regular season because of broken ribs. Bautista set a Toronto record with 54 home runs. The Blue Jays have not gone to a hearing since pitcher Bill Risley in 1997. About half the players in arbitration are expected to settle by Tuesday, when players and their clubs swap proposed salaries. Only a handful typically take their cases to hearings. Three players settled Friday before the filing: right-hander Matt Belisle (FSY) and Colorado agreed at $2.35 million, reliever Joel Zumaya (FSY) and Detroit agreed at $1.4 million, and outfielder Alex Gordon (FSY) and Kansas City agreed at $1.4 million. Among free agents, designated hitter Jim Thome (FSY) stayed with the Minnesota Twins for a $3 million, one-year deal, and left-hander Jeff Francis (FSY) and the Royals agreed to a one-year contract worth about $2 million. STAYING PUT: Thome agrees to one-year deal with Twins
"It's great to be back," the 40-year-old Thome said. "Minnesota's a wonderful place." Thome hit .283 with 25 homers and 59 RBI in only 276 at-bats last year while making $1.5 million on a one-year contract. This new deal includes performance bonuses for plate appearances. Thome ranks eighth with 589 homers. "I don't want to go into this season thinking this is my last year, because I think that's unfair," Thome said. "My plan is to possibly play two more years." Francis missed the 2009 season due to shoulder surgery and went 4-10 with a 5.00 ERA in 20 games. He sees parallels between the young Kansas City Royals this year and the pennant-winning Colorado Rockies he pitched for in 2007. "I think they're on similar paths that Colorado was five or six years ago," Francis said. "So, I've seen it happen and I know it can be done. It's certainly an exciting time for an organization."

I am so thankful for all of these!
I just want to say how thankful I am for all the wonderful friends I have met thru this blog!
Every single comment and e-mail I get makes me smile! Thank you guys!

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.
Got it!was collecting unemployment for a while and i found a temporary job. ( I worked there for about 4 weeks) I did not know I was supposed to tell unemployment that I was working part time. So now I found a full time job and I have stopped claiming unemployment. Now I find out I wasnt supposed to claim while I worked. I contacted unemployment today and explained my situation. Now what? Am I in trouble? I didnt know what I was doing was illegal. Very scared! I dont want to go to jail or have a record! I've never been in trouble before
I wouldn't panic at this point. You have reported it. You worrying about it is not going to change anything the State wants to do. Some basic information:
If you worked less than four days and earned $405 or less in a week, you may receive partial benefits. You are considered employed on any day when you perform any services - even an hour or less - regardless of whether you get paid for that day.
Each day or partial day of worked would reduce your benefit rate by one-quarter. If you are unable to work, your benefits are determined on the same basis. Receiving partial benefits extends the length of time you may collect benefits until you reach the maximum or your benefit year ends, whichever comes first. If you earn over $405 in any week, regardless of the number of days worked, no benefits can be paid for that week.
Each day or part of a day of work will result in a payment of a partial benefit as follows:
1 day of work = 3/4 of your full rate
2 days of work = 1/2 of your full rate
3 days of work = 1/4 of your full rate
4 days of work = No benefits due
You may receive a notice from them starting an administrative process for reimbursement of UI monies you were not entitled to receive. However, as long as your intent was not to defraud UI, and it was an honest mistake I don't see criminal liability attaching.
However, a word of caution. If you do receive any communication from UI informing you of an administrative hearing or any other admninistrative action, you definitely need counsel to represent you.
As a preemptive measure, I would also try to estimate what the UI overpayment was and see what you can do to reimburse the State.
But again, I urge you to talk to a local attoney who practices regularly before UI. There are plenty of attorneys in Albany, Schenectady or Troy who practice in this area who can help you.
Good luck.

Putin Calls Out Obama on Big Lie
«In 2009, US President Obama said that the missile defense only serves as protection from Iranian nuclear missiles. But now there is an international treaty with Iran that bans Tehran from developing a potential military nuclear project. The International Atomic Energy Agency is controlling this, the sanctions against Iran are lifted – but still the US are working on their missile defense system. Only recently a treaty with Spain was signed, a deployment in Romania is being prepared, the same will happen in Poland in 2018, and in Turkey, a radar unit is being installed».
Russian President Vladimir Putin said that in an interview (part 1 and part 2) with Germany's Das Bild, published on January 11th, but the press has ignored this very serious charge – an accusation of deception, bad faith, outright lying, on the part of the US President.
Here is the historical record:
On 17 September 2009, the White House issued «Remarks by the President on Strengthening Missile Defense in Europe». He said there: «This new ballistic missile defense program will best address the threat posed by Iran's ongoing ballistic missile defense program… Our clear and consistent focus has been the threat posed by Iran's ballistic missile program, and that continues to be our focus and the basis of the program that we're announcing today».
All the rest of Putin's account is likewise entirely accurate.
US President Barack Obama lied, about a very important matter. The people calling him out on it should be more than just the Russian President. This is an issue – World War III – that affects the entire world.
There is no issue that's more serious than this. But, where is the press on it?
Only one English-language site carried Bild's English-language translation – the rabidly anti-Russian Business Insider, which was founded by the Wall Street fraudster, Henry Blodget. Wikipedia says of him: «In 2002, then New York State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer published Merrill Lynch e-mails in which Blodget gave assessments about stocks which allegedly conflicted with what was publicly published. In 2003, he was charged with civil securities fraud by the US Securities and Exchange Commission. He agreed to a permanent ban from the securities industry and paid a $2 million fine plus a $2 million disgorgement». His site's headline for this article was «Putin defends Russia's recent aggression, blames US and Europe for rising tensions». The headline for the same article at Bild was: «PUTIN THE INTERVIEW: 'For me, it is not borders that matter.'»
The Blodget site posted five reader-comments to the interview: all were rabidly anti-Putin, such as, «The man is a Machiavellian sociopath. Just what Russia has always had, and probably needs»; nothing was commented about the lie that Putin alleged to have been asserted by Obama. All of them ignored it.
In other words, there was no press-coverage of the US President's lie. Obama had asserted a globally mega-important lie, which displays Obama's building up toward a war between the United States and Russia, and doing it under the false pretext that the US is preparing for a war against Iran (instead of for a nuclear WWIII against what is actually the world's other major nuclear power, Russia – and while constantly demonizing and lying about Russia's leader); Putin called the US President on that single mega-lie, and the press ignored this entire mega-important matter, which could end in global annihilation.
What kind of 'press' is this? What kind of 'democracy' is this?
It's even worse than that.
Here is another passage from the interview that Germany's Das Bild published on January 11th, of Russian President Vladimir Putin:
BILD: In your last interview with BILD, ten years ago, you said that Germany and Russia had never been as close as in 2005. What is left today of this special relationship?
Putin: The mutual sympathy of our peoples is and will remain the foundation of our relations.
BILD: And nothing has changed?
(Before speaking the next sentence, the President starts to sneer.)
Putin: Even with the help of anti-Russian propaganda in the mass media, Germany has not succeeded in damaging this sympathy…
BILD: Do you mean BILD?
Putin: I do not mean you personally. But of course Germany's media are heavily influenced by the country on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.
BILD: That's news to us.
It's not news to Udo Ulfkotte, who had for decades been a very successful journalist in Germany, working for the Frankfurter Algemeine Zeitung, and other leading media, but recently quit and went public about his having long secretly helped the CIA and worked for them as a regular propagandist against Russia. Ulfkotte said that it was the only way to get ahead in the 'journalism' profession in Germany.
He was heavily criticized, at the time, for having given this interview with Russian television. However, the highly respected political and economic blogger who goes under the name of Tyler Durden, headlined on 9 October 2014, «German Journalist Blows Whistle On How The CIA Controls The Media», and he explained that there was a lot more evidence, from other leading journalists, confirming Ulfkotte's allegations, just not quite so specific to the anti-Russia angle. It seems that the same propaganda operation of which Ulfkotte had once been a part, was now aiming to smear him by means of the operation's other 'journalists', but his charges can hardly be denied – they're an undeniable part of post-WWII history, starting with the Cold War but continuing right into our own time. In fact, the CIA had (and maybe still has) an entire operation codenamed «Mockingbird», which was proud of its success in controlling virtually all international 'news' 'reporting' in the United States and, to a large extent, also in Europe.
There was even a case in which a soaring news-reporting star at CNN, who had already won three Emmy Awards, was fired and blacklisted for having reported that the US and Saudi Arabia were sending tanks and troops into Bahrain slaughtering peaceful Shiites who were demonstrating for equal rights with Bahrain's Sunni minority, in that nation where a sectarian fundamentalist-Sunni royal family rule the country. Unlike in Syria, where a non-sectarian and anti-fundamentalist Shiite leader, Bashar al-Assad, rules (and enjoys majority support from his nation's majority-Sunni public), and where the US President, Barack Obama had been planning his overthrow from the moment when Obama had become President in 2009, these demonstrators against Bahrain's royal family were actually spontaneous, and the United States and its Saudi royal family ally were determined to crush it. But this CNN reporter simply refused to cover up and sugar-coat the ugly reality, that the US were working with the Sauds to crush incipient democracy in Bahrain. So, she was fired and blacklisted for that. No matter how terrific a reporter she was, she couldn't even get a job in the field afterwards, because she had refused to deceive when and as required to, and that's the cardinal sin in 'journalism', in what American PR calls 'the Free World' – as if, after the end of communism in Russia, any basic sense still remains to that now-lying phrase, other than to serve as a basis for the secret war that the United States has continued against Russia after the end of communism there.
Could it really be that the 'reporters' for Bild don't know the score, as they were pretending?
To judge by their 'reporting', they know it all too well.
They know the reality; only their readers don't – and, apparently, won't.
What kind of 'democracy' is this?
Anyone who doubts that the claim to be 'democratic' 'news' media in a 'democracy,' is such a hoax, needs to see this (and especially its pie-chart at 18:20 on that video), from the brilliant Sibel Edmonds, explaining how profoundly corrupt it actually is, so that one can understand how the current reality really works.
Obama's entire case against Russia, and especially his cases regarding Ukraine and regarding Syria, are lies, but they're ceaselessly spread throughout the West. On January 17th, at the final Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Debate before voting starts in the Presidential primaries, even the least-hostile-to-Russia candidate in both of America's political parties, US Senator Bernie Sanders, started from the assumption of Obama's lies as being truths. For example, he said: «And we all know, no argument, the secretary [former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the leading candidate for the Democratic Presidential nomination] is absolutely right, Assad is a butcher of his own people, man using chemical weapons against his own people. This is beyond disgusting».
But actually, Obama, and his then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and the Saudi King, and President Erdogan of Turkey, and Emir Thani of Qatar, had organized that sarin gas attack so as to make it seem to have come from Assad's forces, in order to provide an excuse for the US to bomb Syria to remove Assad from power. An MIT study of the evidence concluded: «The US Government's Interpretation of the Technical Intelligence It Gathered Prior to and After the August 21 Attack CANNOT POSSIBLY BE CORRECT». Is it possible that even Senator Sanders didn't know that? Or was even he lying?

Martens Commercial Group now affiliated with NAI
New signs will start popping up on commercial properties around Wichita later this month now that Grubb & Ellis | Martens Commercial Group LLC has become NAI Martens.
Another commercial broker in Wichita, John T. Arnold Associates, had been affiliated with NAI but is now independent, according to a report in today's Wichita Eagle. John T. Arnold President Marlin Penner could not be reached this morning.
Martens had been affiliated with Grubb & Ellis since April 2000, CEO Steve Martens said in an interview this morning.
But since Grubb & Ellis Co.'s bankruptcy filing in February and resulting changes, Martens has been considering a new direction. The Wall Street Journal described Grubb & Ellis Co.'s struggles nationally in an April 2011 story that questioned Grubb's decision to expand its real estate investment management business during the real estate downturn while its largest national competitors, CBRE Group and Jones Lang LaSalle, successfully diversified their corporate real estate outsourcing services.
"For me personally, this was a difficult decision," Martens says. "We have very much valued our relationship with Grubb & Ellis and the business platform that they offered."
Martens said his company grew, matured, developed and reached new heights under Grubb & Ellis. But with its change in ownership and additional affiliates — it's now the Newmark Grubb Knight Frank brand — Martens felt a change in direction was necessary.
"It's a great organization," he said of Newmark Grubb Knight Frank. "They will be a strong platform, but from a Wichita, Kansas, perspective in the market here, going with NAI allowed us immediately to be at full strength."
Martens Cos. has about 85 people among its five affiliates: NAI Martens, Martens Appraisal, Huffman Corridor Consulting LLC, Hospitality Management LLC and Receivership Services Corp. About 22 of those are with NAI Martens.
As part of the deal, NAI Kaw Valley Commercial in Topeka is now part of NAI Martens, giving Martens a brokerage presence in the capital city.

OAKLAND PARK (CBSMiami) – Three people were forced to flee their car just before it was hit by a Tri-rail train Sunday night in Oakland Park. The car burst into flames, but everyone got out safely. 10 people aboard the train were hurt.
Ft. Lauderdale Public Information Officer Matt Little said firefighters were called to the CSX Tracks at Powerline Road and Commercial Boulevard at about 7:30 Sunday.
Little said the vehicle had become stuck on the tracks., and as a Tri-Rail train approached, three people in the vehicle got out safely.
The train struck the vehicle, which burst into flames. Little said firefighters found the vehicle fully engulfed in flames, but quickly put the fire out.
10 people on the train were hurt, according to Fort Lauderdale Fire-Rescue, and were taken to Holy Cross Hospital and Broward General Medical Center.
One person had significant injuries, while most were just slightly hurt.
Nobody in the vehicle was hurt.

While on a road trip, medical students Steve (Kerr Smith) and Patrick (Lochlyn Munro) stop in a sleepy rural town and party with some local cheerleaders. What transpires next leads to the pair being wrongly fingered as killers by the residents, the sheriff (Donnelly Rhodes) and his sadistic son (Adrien Dorval). It'll take the involvement of the FBI, Steve's girlfriend and a civil rights-obsessed loner to set the record straight.

The manned exploration of space is one of the defining achievements of humanity and should not be abandoned in favour of less expensive robotic missions after the Nasa Shuttle's last flight, the man who has spent the most time in space said yesterday.
The Russian former cosmonaut Sergei Krikalev said that suggestions that the age of manned space exploration should end with the demise of the Shuttle programme and US President Barack Obama proposing a freeze on Nasa's budget until 2016 are misguided because robots and space probes will continue to be poor substitutes for human space explorers.
Mr Krikalev, who holds the record for the amount of time spent in space – a total of 803 days, 9 hours and 39 minutes – called for future manned missions to the Moon and even Mars, saying that they would open up a new age of human exploration akin to the discovery of the New World.
"Columbus had a business plan to bring back spices from India, but it changed after he discovered America," Mr Krikalev told i, speaking 50 years after Yuri Gagarin's pioneering Earth orbit in 1961. "If you ask me does it make any sense to go to the Moon and beyond, sure it does. I'm sure there will be benefits from going beyond our habitable area to learn and study space."
Some scientists have argued that manned space flight is an expensive luxury and that intelligent probes and robots could explore the solar system far more efficiently at a fraction of the cost. But Mr Krikalev said that intelligent space probes and robotic explorers will never be as good as humans. "Sending robots can be very expensive and what is really important is the ratio between expense and result. If you have zero result, it doesn't matter how much you spend," Mr Krikalev said.

▼▲Hake's Grammar and Writing presents a new grammar or writing concept every day with review exercises that allow the student to continue practicing concepts previously learned. The detailed lesson presentation encourages students to be self-guided throughout, with very little intervention by the parent/teacher. My three boys have all acquired excellent writing and grammar skills through the use of this program.
Kits include student text and workbook with 107 to 112 lessons; and teacher's packet with test masters and answer keys. Grade 4 to 8. From Saxon.
Product Reviews
Denise3 Stars Out Of 5Generally good curriculum, but more errors than I expectedDecember 17, 2015DeniseQuality: 4Value: 5Meets Expectations: 3We've used the Grammar and Writing for the past few years, and while the curriculum has been more than adequate, I was surprised at the number of errors in the answer key. At least once a week I've found an error in the lesson answers - either incorrect answers, or answers that aren't even options in the student text (like Review Set 62, problem 1 - the answer in the answer key is not even listed as an option in the student text). It makes it frustrating to check & grade when you can't always trust what's written in the key. It seems like it's been more of an issue in Grammar & Writing 8, as I don't remember having this many issues with the answer key in past years.
HayChick5 Stars Out Of 5Amazing curriculum, that's Saxon for you.August 7, 2011HayChickQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Saxon did an amazing job of teaching grammar and writing in this comprehensive book. The text is written to the student, which makes it easy for them to follow without having a parent look over their shoulder every minute. I can honestly say this "eighth" grade text could easily be used to teach a 9th to 12th grade student that had not been previously taught thorough grammar skills.
John Collins5 Stars Out Of 5May 5, 2010John CollinsI like the idea that the grammer and writing are separated into two books. It gives greater detail then other material I looked at. I do wish the student text was a hardcover.
Ask Christianbook
▼▲Q: Stating with the 8th grade? My son used public virtual school for language arts for 6th and 7th grades. Could he easily transition to this curriculum having never used it before? I know it teaches diagramming which he isn't familiar with, does it review?
Yes, this curriculum gives a clear explanation of each concept covered.

Calling Out Everyday Sexism
Content Warning: this article contains a discussion of sexual assault.
The other day, my best friends and I were casually chatting in a group message. Between complaining about homework and our crushes, we also discussed the instances when guy's hands have crept too far up our thighs without our permission, the experiences that left us wanting to file our skin down raw to erase every trace of contamination. We discussed these instances without raising red flags, without explicitly labeling these actions for what they are: sexual assault. I guess it's easy to forget the magnitude of an event that has become a daily occurrence.
The common thread we found in this discussion was the shame that buries in the pits of our stomachs as …

Hey everyone, I have a Bachelor's degree in Engineering (2012) but have been intensely self studying ID and freelancing since 2013. Over the years I have been looking into going back to school to further my ID knowledge and with a little luck, hopefully switch careers into ID once and for all. I'm specifically looking into the Master of Design: Industrial Design program at University of Illinois Chicago (UIC). I'm also interested in hearing about the Bachelors program because I'm thinking of taking some Bachelor's level courses to fill in some of the gaps in my ID learning.
For any UIC Bachelors of ID or Masters of ID alum, how did you find UIC's ID program and facilities? How the professors and students? Did the proximity to Chicago give opportunities for connecting with local design students or professionals, the Chicago IDSA chapter, or internships?
My girlfriend and I are planning to make the move to Chicago in 2017 so I'm doing as much research as I can. It seems like the Chicago ID scene is really strong and I'm pretty excited to get immersed in the Chicago ID community! If you are in the Chicago area and wouldn't mind reaching out and sharing your experience, it would be super helpful to chat and learn more about your thoughts on ID in Chicago.
Thanks so much!

Your new look is wonderful but the links are very confusing. They are not user friendly at all. I find it difficult to locate what I want. I gave up after a while. Probably you would want to consider to re-name your links - just a suggestion.

I clicked Pre-Order Clothes/Shoes/Bags and could not view/find your collection of pre-order clothes/shoes/bags. The same applies when I copies and pasted the link you indicated in your reply dated 28 May 2010. Once again, I tried just a moment ago but failed. I am very fed-up and disappointed. I personally preferred the previous format.

Dear Agape,
Thanks for the clarification. FYI the sub-link did not appear by running the mouse on the main menu (i.e. Ready Stock, Pre-Order Clothes, etc). I click and stayed for a while before sub-link appears. Now I am able to browse thru' all the collections.
Once again, TQ very much. - AnonymousJuly 27, 2010 at 11:17 PM

Assuming that our room will be the same as last year (AW125), this means that there /probably/ will not be any FOSDEM network equipment in the Debian room. This is not for sure yet, it might also be that FOSDEM will get part of the uplink bandwidth from the plug in the Debian devroom...
According to the FOSDEM website, the room will be AW1.121, which appears to have 5 more seats than the AW1.125
Don't worry, there is of course a solution for both cases:
No FOSDEM equipment is present: you can plug straight into the uplink port that is provided by the ULB in your room. It might be BNC, but Gerry will have hubs available that do BNC->RJ45, so no worries there.
Settings (fixed): address 22.214.171.124 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 22.214.171.124
As a DNS server, use whichever you like, but make sure it answers to requests from your source IP.
FOSDEM equipment is present: I will make sure there is a port available for your wired uplink. Configuration will be provided by DHCP.

I (daven) am regrettably not available to come to this FOSDEM. Should you need assistance / troubleshooting, feel free to call.
I suggest that the sound for this event is setup as follows:
Channels 1 - 3: Condenser microphones taped from ceiling over audience (left, right and center). Pan left and right mics to 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock positions on the pan dials. Reduce input gain for the center channel by 2 dB with respect to the other mics.
Channel 4: Spare condenser, have this on the desk at the front, you never know when it will come in handy
Channel 5/6: Headset receiver 1 (connect using 1/4" jack to input marked L; this monos the stereo channel). Also remember to set the receiver to +4dBu output.
Channel 7/8: Headset receiver 2 (same as above)
Headphones (monitor what you're doing!)
Main output: Send to Twinpact (make sure correct input is selected on the Twinpact; select this via switches on the bottom of it)
FX send or Aux: Send (preferably via DI box) to camera.
Camera Input
The only camera with a sound input seems only to have a microphone input. This is suboptimal; because it both runs a possible risk of damage to the mixer (if there is plug-in power on the mic input); because it will be noisy as hell; and because the level expected is very very low, leading to a very easily clipped input.
I would highly suggest using the Twinpact input for a number of reasons, most relevant of which as follows:
- It can be fed at line level; and thus has a better S/N ratio than the mic level input on the camera. Also, a DI box is not necessary.
- The inputs are guaranteed not biased with +5v for powering microphones
- Clock drift is negligible (wrt. to this, I suggest moving the encoding onto the audience camera grabber, or better, onto another box. Frame dropping via software is more the issue here.)
If it is absolutely necessary to use the mic input on the camera, workarounds as follows should be used to make this work:
If a DI box is available
FX output from the mixer -> cable (1/4 inch mono jack to 1/4 inch mono jack, 5m long) -> DI box -> cable (3 pin female XLR to mono 1/8 inch mono minijack, 2m long) -> camera microphone input.
If a DI box is unavailable
FX output from the mixer -> cable (1/4 inch mono jack to 1/8 inch minijack, 5m long) -> camera microphone input.
You will be using the FX send bus (or Aux send bus) on the mixer. The reason for this is threefold:
a: The aux send bus on the mixer is sent post-fader, and allows additional attenuation for each source (invaluable when attempting to go from line level down to mic level)
b: You would rather damage the Aux send bus by incorrectly designed mic power than you would the main outputs. This is not a worry when using a DI box, as this provides isolation.
c: The main outputs are in stereo; if you route these to the Twinpact, you could still do the production in stereo; whereas the mic input will only be mono.
Setting up initially using the FX bus is slightly different, but should be used to feed the camera. Operation is as folows:
Above each channel pan/balance knob on the mixer, you will the FX send for that channel. Start by turning all of these all the way down.
Make sure the main output is connected to the Twinpact, and cut to the Twinpact sound input on DVSwitch. Increase the master volume of the mixing desk to unity (0 dB), and fade up the volume of a condenser mic channel to unity as well.
Assuming the condenser mic is hanging over one of the rows of seats, get someone to stand underneath, and speak as if they were asking a question to the presenter. Adjust gain on that channel until there is an indication of signal on the VU meter on DVSwitch. You want this to be around -24dB on average, peaking at around -6 dB. Higher than this, and you risk clipping due to audience / handling noise, as you are not using a dynamic compressor.
Now to adjust level to the send for the camera input. Get the person standing under the mic to continue speaking; or to sing a single steady note if possible. While doing this, switch the DVSwitch sound source between the Twinpact and the recording camera; and SLOWLY increase the level of the FX send until both levels are roughly similar. If you are not using a DI box, you will not need very much level here at all. Once you have the level for that channel, apply the same level for the FX send to all the other channels. The FX send bus is post fader, so you do not have to worry about running the mix twice, and can operate as usual.
Once you have this set up, proceed to adjust gain for the other channels as usual.
