There Is No Moral Equivalent to the Murder of Three Israeli Teenagers
Here's the good news: Despite the cynical speculation of some, the kidnapping of the three Israeli teenagers was neither a hoax nor a Mossad plot. Eyal Yifrach, Gilad Shaar, and Naftali Fraenkel were murdered shortly after being abducted and then buried under rocks in an open field. The killers remain at large, but they are not unknown.
The bad news is that if debunking a shameful myth is the very best news to arise out of this barbaric incident, then there really is no good news. It's just the latest reminder of what passes for diplomacy in a region far richer in terrorism than oil, and offers yet further reasons for Israelis to be suspicious of peace. Worse still, it supplies more evidence that a people who throw candy in celebration of kidnapped children have something on their mind other than nation building.
The Israeli government has vowed retaliation against Hamas. The unity government that Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas established with Hamas is now in shambles. Surely peace negotiations will not resume if an unrepentant Hamas remains a partner.
Yet, West Bank Palestinians wonder why they must pay the price for the misdeeds of Hamas, who are based in Gaza. For them the 18-day search for the Israeli teens and the manhunt for their captors was tantamount to collective punishment. Thousands of homes were searched and 400 Palestinians—most with Hamas affiliations—were arrested. Meanwhile, in response to 18 rockets fired by Hamas into southern Israel, resulting in no casualties, Israel retaliated with 34 airstrikes inside Gaza, killing three militants.
Even before the dead Israeli teenagers were discovered, it was widely reported that Israeli soldiers killed five rock-throwing Palestinians (some of whom were teenagers) in the West Bank. They, too, should be factored into the ledgers of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict where the books are never closed and audits are always postponed without a final reckoning.
After all, the shortening of the lives of these Palestinian teenagers constitutes the tit-for-tat endgame of unmeasured suffering on both sides. Under the ancient laws of retaliation, the lex talionis, the lives of five Palestinians should cancel the debt created by Hamas in murdering three Israeli teenagers.

Anti-Redskins ad to air during NBA finals
In the midst of the NBA's racial controversy with the owner of the Los Angeles Clippers, viewers tuning in to tonight's NBA Finals will be reminded of the NFL's own controversy involving the push to change the name of the Washington Redskins.
The California-based Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation has paid for the anti-Redskins ad "Proud To Be," which will run in seven major cities during the Game 3 matchup between the San Antonio Spurs and the Miami Heat. The 60-second ad narrates a number of names Native Americans are proud to be called before ending with a screen shot of a Redskins helmet representing the one thing Native Americans do not call themselves. Native Americans and other critics have been turning up the heat on the Washington Redskins to change the name, calling it offensive. Team owner Daniel Snyder, however, has vowed never to change it.
The "Proud To Be" ad will air in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento, Chicago, Dallas, New York and Washington, D.C. tonight. It ran earlier in Miami during halftime of Game 2 of the NBA finals on Sunday.

Listen to Shakira on iHeartRadio
Oh Shakira, we know your hips don't lie.
The singer and songwriter has debuted her "Dare" music video. Like in all of Shakira's videos, we can expect some booty popping. "Dare (La La La)" is included on Shakira's self-titled album, which was released earlier this year (March). So far, Shakira has shared hits like "Can't Remember to Forget You (featuring Rihanna)," "Empire," "Medicine," and now "Dare (La La La)," from her new album.
You can't expect any less from Shakira. She's a hit maker. Oh and she'll get you moving your booty, even if you're not a dancer.
"Is it true that you love me? I dare you to kiss me," Shakira sings in her new track.
The music video is three minutes long and has some pretty colorful effects added. Shakira is dressed up in a sexy black dress. Oh and yes, she is beautiful, as always. Also, she shakes her booty, but you figured that one out.

Since the start of his career, Kessler has worked with a large number of artists and performers, all with various styles and characteristics. Kessler was originally trained in Classical and Latin guitar, which seemingly provided an incredible platform for the guitarist to extend his skills to other genres and create his own individual performance fashions.
In 2010, Kessler took on the demanding role of Blondie's guitarist, replacing the bands previous axe-man Paul Carbonara. When not on tour with Blondie, he plays a guitarist in the fictional 1890s Rock Band Arsenal in the Broadway musical Rock of Ages and has done so for the past three years.
Kessler is recognized for his frequent use of Digitech effects pedals and processors. The guitarist's performance rig includes a Line 6 delay modeler, a Pigtronix EP2 and the legendary red Whammy from Digitech.
"There is no other pedal quite like it. The Whammy can do pitch bends up to two octaves above the note you're playing, along with extreme dive bombs, harmony bends and a lot more. For sheer rock and roll outrageousness, nothing else comes close. Every pedal board needs a Whammy!" -Tommy Kessler

The vision thing
The Linux Foundation posted this on Facebook this morning: "TODAY'S NEWS: Torvalds, Shuttleworth and other Linux/OSS visionaries to be in Barcelona Nov 5-7. Will you be there?" Of course, it links to the press release here.
I would grant you that Linus Torvalds is a visionary — perhaps, arguably, an accidental visionary in the sense that he never expected the kernel he developed would grow into what it has become. But fortunately for everyone involved, Torvalds is a visionary who has kept a significant degree of humility amid the vast contribution to society he has made.
Looking at the lineup in the press release, I would have put Marten Mickos on the release as a "Linux/OSS visionary" instead. Mickos is the MySQL guy, despite the fact that it has gone through a couple of, um, changes since he sold it to Sun in 2008, and is now in the evil clutches of Oracle. Regardless of what it has become now, MySQL is an important piece of FOSS history, and Mickos deserves the visionary label, along with a degree of gratitude for fostering such an important project.
But Shuttleworth? I'm not so sure how he ranks as a visionary. Doing great work in promoting Linux/FOSS in financially backing Ubuntu is commendable and worthy of praise, but this is hardly "visionary." Add to this going off on his own to develop things that are generally not used by the wider FOSS community — Unity and HUD come immediately to mind — and arguably he has done more to stifle progress in the wider FOSS world rather than contribute to its advance. How this is visionary remains to be seen.
Further, I think I can put Shuttleworth's contributions to the wider FOSS paradigm better in perspective with a little help from The Oatmeal here. If Linus Torvalds is Nikola Tesla, then Mark Shuttleworth is Thomas Edison.
No, Linux Foundation, I won't be going to Barcelona for the European version of LinuxCon. But thanks for asking.

The spread and awareness of Linux via Ubuntu in mainstream is visionary alone, more so than anyone in Linux world period. Persons who wouldn't touch Linux with a 1000ft pole now consider and happily run Ubuntu Linux and that furthers the cause of Linux than geeky Arch, RH, Fedora et al.
July 26, 2012 at 1:59 pm
At one time Shuttleworth WAS very visionary. Then something went wrong.
The early Ubuntu was the most successful distro, when it went south
I was ready for something that was in keeping with the "spirit" of Linux.
Having lived long enough to witness many "visionary" people I have also
witnessed many fine people who lost their vision. Mostly due to ego overdose.

What the troops in Afghanistan are saying about Bergdahl
I was working late that night, when the first reports about Bowe Bergdahl's release in exchange for five Taliban leaders streamed on the television. Just a few blocks from me on my base in Afghanistan, Bergdahl processed through the hospital and onto the jet bound for Germany. Only those directly involved in the operation had any idea.
The military is good about keeping things quiet, especially the actions of special operations and other government agencies. Countless bureaucratic and physical barriers veil these groups from conventional forces. Warzone bases aren't open like bases in the U.S. Most units within the perimeter of my base in Afghanistan work and reside within private compounds, surrounded by their own security and fences.
Some have wondered about the timing of the events here over the past two weeks: President Obama's visit, an announcement on post-2014 U.S. involvement in Afghanistan, Bergdahl, and Secretary Hagel's visit all in just one week. For many this seems more like a well-planned campaign than mere coincidence.
Despite all this, life remains largely unchanged for those of us still here. The day-to-day mission continues. Coalition forces still patrol, convoy, fly, bomb, support, analyze, train, advise, shoot, heal, and kill. The fighting endures. People still die. In the past few days, we've honored several fallen service members as their friends transferred them to airplanes to take them home. Maybe we should pause a moment from the Bergdahl debate to honor them: U.S. Army Pfc. Jacob H. Wykstra, 21, of Thornton, Colorado, U.S. Army Capt. Jason B. Jones, 29, of Orwigsburg, Pennsylvania, and U.S. Army Pfc. Matthew H. Walker, 20 of Hillsboro, Missouri. I haven't seen any of these names appear on the news network crawlers.
News reports after Secretary Hagel's visit here noted the military crowd was silentafter he mentioned Bergdahl. The account said, "It was unclear whether the absence of cheers and applause came from a reluctance to display emotion in front of the Pentagon chief or from any doubts among the troops about Bergdahl." I was there with a couple hundred other service members. I'm not sure the silence was symbolic of anything.

Olympic worker struck by bobsled in track
(NEWSER) – An Olympic track worker who was struck by a bobsled today broke both legs and may have a concussion, according to IOC officials. The worker was on the track when he was hit by a forerunning sled near the finish line at the Sanki Sliding Center, just before the start of two-man bobsled training. "We still do not know why he was in this zone and exactly what happened," says IOC President Thomas Bach. "This zone" apparently refers to an area just before the finish line, which would suggest that the sled likely had not yet started to brake

On the downside, those people posted the pictures and videos online, but didn't call police or otherwise try to stop it.

The woman, a 20-year-old Ohio University student, filed a rape complaint on Sunday, after the clips quickly circulated online, college newspaper the Post reports here and here.

Politician's 'Secret Daughter' Is ... Not Related to Him

It turns out Victoria Brink is not actually related to Democrat Steve Cohen, period. CNNhad Brink take a DNA test, along with the man who raised her, John Brink. The results: There's a 0% chance Cohen is actually the aspiring model's father. John Brink is.

Lucy Hale unwraps debut album 'Road Between' cover art & tracklisting
Listen to Lucy Hale on iHeartRadio
"Pretty Little Liars" star Lucy Hale is returning to her musical roots with her upcoming debut album, Road Between. Featuring her current Top 50 country hit single "You Sound Good To Me," the full-length, via Hollywood Records, is set for a June 3rd drop.
During a fun game of #UnlockRoadBetween on Twitter (a hashtag that became a trending topic for a hot minute) on Monday (March 31), Hale unlocked the album's tracklist and cover art, piece by piece. After all was revealed, the actress officially unwrapped her album cover: a simple pose in a white sun dress beside a backroad. It's a literal interpretation of the title, but stunning, nonetheless.
"I started in music, and I thought the music would happen before the acting. So, I've been waiting a few years," Hale recently told Billboard of the project. "I started the album process about two years ago. It's been a little bit of a wait, but I'm grateful that we held out to give it to people. So, there's a sense of relief right now. It's an awesome feeling."
Of course, Hale is the midst of preparing to film PLL'sSeason 5, which leads the starlet to do a bit of juggling. "Up until this point, I've been focusing on the acting. Now, it's at the point where we're juggling both. I knew what I was signing up for when I decided to do both. I knew it was going to be a lot of long hours, and I knew I was going to be tired, but I had a gut feeling that right now was the right time to do it. I wake up in the morning, and feel so lucky that I love what I do. It's going to be a lot of traveling on the weekends when we start shooting the show again and start doing things with the music."
Here's the album tracklisting:
1. "You Sound Good To Me": Written by Ashley Gorley, Luke Laird, Hillary Lindsey
2. "From The Backseat": Written by Mike Daly, Jimmy Robbins, Nicolle Clawson
3. "Nervous Girls": Written by Hillary Lindsey, Tom Douglas, James Slater

Morrissey releases statement on postponed tour
Listen to Morrissey on iHeartRadio
Morrissey says it's hard to find the words to express the "sorrow" he feels after postponing yet another tour. In a statement released over the weekend, the singer confirms that his planned trek though South America has been put on hold due to a case of what he calls "corrosively toxic food poisoning."
Morrissey says he's since returned to Los Angeles, but his doctor assures him he'll be ready to head south again for the final portion of the tour starting in Buenos Aires, Argentina on July 28th.
He's scheduled to play three shows in Brazil after that, but Morrissey has yet to reveal a plan to make up the eight postponed shows in Chile.

On their official Twitter page, the "Liquid Dream" singers are passing not-so-subtle hints about a reunion of sorts in the near future.

A countdown clock on the website is counting the seconds until Sunday, when the group says that "all will be revealed."
The boy band was formed on the first season of MTV's "Making The Band" in the year 2000, and was led by Ashley Parker Angel who went on to have a solo career after they disbanded in 2003.
Angel does not appear to be joining in on the upcoming O-Town reunion. The four other members came together to launch social media pages last year, and are rumored to be recorded a new album.

Man Loses 37 Pounds Eating Only McDonald's
(NEWSER) – Want to lose some weight? Try eating nothing but McDonald's for 90 days. That's what science teacher John Cisna did, and he not only lost 37 pounds but also saw dramatic improvements in health markers like cholesterol. The Iowa man was inspired to try his experiment after watching Supersize Me, the documentary in which eating McDonald's for a month led Morgan Spurlock to weight gain and worse health. But in Cisna's case, he kept to strict limitations: 2,000 calories per day, while sticking close to the recommended dietary allowances for fat, cholesterol, and nutrients.

Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis underwent surgery Tuesday to repair a damaged tendon in his left ring finger, the team announced Wednesday.
Kipnis, hurt during strength and conditioning activities, is expected to be ready for the regular-season opener April 6 at Houston.
The full-squad reporting date for spring training in Goodyear, Ariz., is Feb. 22.
Indians head trainer James Quinlan said in a conference call that Kipnis was hurt about a month ago working out near his home in Chicago. While racking weights, Kipnis' hand slipped and the finger was caught between the weight and the rack, causing a significant laceration.To read more or comment...
The Indians went back to an established pattern of acquiring reclamation projects with Tuesday's signing of right-hander Gavin Floyd to a one-year major league contract.
Floyd has made only 14 starts in the past two years. With the Atlanta Braves last season he went 2-2 with a 2.65 ERA in nine starts before fracturing his right elbow on June 19. In 2013, Floyd pitched only five games for the Chicago White Sox before undergoing reconstructive right elbow surgery.

The Cleveland Indians acquired first baseman/outfielder Brandon Moss from the Oakland Athletics in exchange for second base prospect Joey Wendle, the team announced Monday afternoon.
Talks date back to Wednesday night, a source tells the Akron Beacon Journal, and the official deal was first reported by Jeff Passan of Yahoo! Sports.
Moss, 31, is a left-handed power hitter that should be expected to bat in the middle of the Indians' order. He has hit 76 home runs in the last three years, and only played half of the 2012 season. The Indians' leader in home runs during that same timespan is Carlos Santana, with 65.To read more or comment...
Indians bullpen coach Kevin Cash will replace Joe Maddon as the manager of the Tampa Bay Rays and no one on the Tribe roster may be more disappointed than right-hander Carlos Carrasco.
Cash. who turns 37 Saturday, was tabbed by the Rays over Royals bench coach Don Wakamatsu, 51. Cash is a Tampa native who spent eight years as a major league catcher, including one with the Rays in 2005. He just completed his second year on the staff of Indians' manager Terry Francona after starting his post-playing career as an advance scout for the Toronto Blue Jays.
According to MLB.com, Cash becomes the youngest manager in the league since A.J. Hinch, hired as Diamondbacks' manager in 2009 at age 35.
Cash was also one of three finalists for the Texas Rangers' managerial position that went to Jeff Banister of the Pirates.To read more or comment...

Kip Moore's latest single becomes his third number one hit
Listen to Kip Moore on iHeartRadio
Kip Moore now has three chart-toppers to his credit. His latest hit, "Hey Pretty Girl," is the new number one on the Mediabase country singles chart. The singer says he's proud of the accomplishment, but knows it's no guarantee of future success.
Kip first topped the chart in 2012 with "Somethin' 'Bout A Truck," and his follow up, "Beer Money," went to number one as well." Those songs as well as "Hey Pretty Girl" are on his debut album, "Up All Night."
Kip has spent much of this year on the road supporting his album. He opened shows on Eric Church and Brantley Gilbert's tours earlier this year, and he's spending the summer warming up the crowds on Toby Keith's "Hammer Down" tour. This fall Kip will be featured on Lady Antebellum's "Take Me Downtown Tour 2013," which begins in November.

Imagine perspective without pain...no T-squares, complicated equations, or mechanical terms...just simple instructions and hands-on exercises to teach you how to create a sense of depth in your drawings and paintings. Here Phil Metzger gives you clear-cut guidelines in everyday terms- with a little humor tossed in along the way. You'll learn techniques of perspective that will enhance your creativity. Included are techniques to achieve the illusion of depth by gradually diminishing the sizes of--and the distance between--similar objects; use soft edges and less detail on objects in the background to make them seem farther away; introduce depth simply by manipulating color and value; properly draw roads, paths, streets, fields, and streams to suggest depth in a scene and to describe the flatness or hilliness of a landscape; and much more.

Kubuntu Oneiric Repositories
Current revision as of 21:12, 9 February 2012
Add Extra Repositories
Software packages and programs are freely available for download at multiple online sites with standardized structures, called repositories. There are repositories officially sanctioned and monitored by the Kubuntu/Ubuntu developer community, while other repositories are independently provided, without official sanction or supervision (and should be used with caution). Additional information is available from the Kubuntu Repository Guide.
Types of Repositories
- There are four major package repository types in Kubuntu:
- main - Supported and supervised by Canonical. This is the major part of the distribution.
- restricted - Software not licensed under the GPL (or similar software license), but supported and supervised by Canonical.
- universe - Software licensed under the GPL (or similar license) and supported by users.
- multiverse - Software not licensed under the GPL (or similar license), but supported by users.
- There are also these additional types of repositories:
- oneiric-updates - Updates to official packages.
- oneiric-backports - Current version software from Precise Pangolin (Oneiric+1) that has been backported to Oneiric Ocelot.
- oneiric-proposed - Proposed updates & changes (bleeding edge stuff).
Third party repositories
Software developers often maintain their own repositories, from which software packages can be downloaded and installed directly to your computer (if you add the repository to your list). Many of these third party repositories and software packages have never been reviewed by the (K)Ubuntu/Debian community and can present a security risk to your computer. Trojans, backdoors, and other malicious software can be present at any unregulated repository. When using repositories not endorsed by the (K)ubuntu/Debian community, make sure you have utter confidence in that site before enabling the repository and installing a software package from it.
PPA repositories
A Personal Package Archive (PPA) is a special software repository used for experimental source packages still under development. Such software has not been approved by the Debian or Ubuntu developers (but may eventually become an accepted package). Use this software at your own risk just like any other third party repository software.
Documentation about how to install software from this type of repository can be found at the PPA Installing Software Guide.
In brief, to add a repository:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:user/ppa-name
Note: If add-apt-repository is not available on your system, then install it with the package:
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
Add Repositories using the Package Manager
This is the preferred method.
- K menu -> System -> Muon Package Manager -> Settings -> Configure Software Sources
- Here you can enable the repositories for Kubuntu Software and Other Software.
- For Other Software select Add -> enter the repository's address. It will have a format similar to:
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric main restricted deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric main restricted
- Example: To add the Medibuntu repository, Add:
deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ oneiric free non-free
- Update the package list found in the new repository:
- -> Close -> Reload
- Download the repository key to a folder.
- Example: The Medibuntu key can be downloaded from
- http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg
- Then add the key from:
- K menu -> System -> Muon Package Manager -> Settings -> Configure Software Sources -> Authentication -> Import Key File...
- (Alternatively, you can manually add the key from the Konsole command line terminal. See Add Repository keys.)
Manually add repositories
- Adding a repository (such as a Launchpad ppa repository) can be accomplished from the command-line interface:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:user/repository
where ppa:user/repository is an example of the repository you wish to add.
- To remove a repository:
sudo apt-add-repository -r ppa:user/repository
- Download and add the repository keys to your keyring. See Add repository keys.
- Refresh the packages list from the new repositories:
sudo apt-get update
Edit the repository sources list
- This is an optional, labor intensive method. Do this at your own risk. Modify the default Kubuntu sources.list only if you understand what you're doing. Mixing repositories can break your system. For more information see the Ubuntu Command-line Repository guide.
- Create a backup of your current list of sources.
sudo cp -p /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list_backup
Note: sudo - runs the command with root privileges. cp = copy. -p = prompt to overwrite if a file already exists.
- Edit the list of sources:
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
- or using a graphical editor:
kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list
- Note: To use your local mirror you can add "xx." before archive.ubuntu.com, where xx = your country code.
- Example: deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid main restricted universe multiverse indicates a repository for Great Britain (gb).
- Here is a sample sources.list. At the end have been added repositories for Medibuntu and Google:
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric main restricted deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric main restricted ## Major bug fix updates produced after the final release of the ## distribution. deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric-updates main restricted deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric-updates main restricted ## N.B. software from this repository is ENTIRELY UNSUPPORTED by the Ubuntu ## team.

- Download and add the repository keys to your keyring. See Add repository keys.
- Refresh the packages list from the new repositories:
sudo apt-get update
Add repository keys
- Download the gpg keys for the repositories and automatically add them to your repository keyring:
- Example: To obtain and add the Medibuntu repository key:
wget --quiet http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O - | sudo apt-key add -
- Example: To obtain and add the Google repository key:
wget --quiet https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub -O - | sudo apt-key add -
Note: wget - retrieves a file from a network location. --quiet = no output. -O - = Output downloaded item to the screen. The | (pipe symbol) is used to capture the output from the previous command and use it as an input for the piped command (i.e. apt-key, which adds it to the keyring).
- Alternatively (and perhaps more easily), you can use apt-key directly:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys KEY
- where KEY is the missing key code printed in apt-get output, e.g. EF4186FE247510BE.
- Note: Key servers often use port 11371. Make sure your firewall allows port 11371 to be open.

PHOTO: Jessica Simpson shows off slim post-baby figure on Weight Watchers set
Listen to Jessica Simpson on iHeartRadio
Jessica Simpson shows off her post-baby body (and a big smile) in a new picture she shared while working on her latest Weight Watchers ad.
Couldn't stop smiling on set for my new @weightwatchers campaign today! #happy," wrote the fashion entrepreneur.
Simpson gave birth to son Ace four months ago, and has an 18-month-old daughter named Maxwell.
Last week, she shared some life lessons she hoped to impart to her children.
Simpson wore a head-turning black dress on a triple date with sister Ashlee and friend CaCee Cobb earlier this week.

Gates Book: Obama Lost Faith in Own Afghan Strategy
(NEWSER) – A memoir by former defense chief Robert Gates alleges that President Obama lost faith in his own Afghanistan mission, according to accounts in the New York Times and Washington Post. Gates recalls a meeting in 2011 in which Obama expresses frustration with Gen. David Petraeus and Hamid Karzai: "As I sat there, I thought: The president doesn't trust his commander, can't stand Karzai, doesn't believe in his own strategy and doesn't consider the war to be his," writes Gates in Duty: Memoirs of a Secretary at War. "For him, it's all about getting out." At the Post, Bob Woodward asserts that Gates also levels "one of the more serious charges that a defense secretary could make against a commander in chief sending forces into combat," citing this excerpt regarding the Afghan strategy: Obama, writes Gates, was "skeptical if not outright convinced it would fail." The book is out Jan. 14, so expect much more in terms of excerpts and reaction.
Other highlights:
- On Joe Biden: The VP is a "man of integrity," writes Gates. But "I think he has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades."
- On Hillary Clinton: "I found her smart, idealistic but pragmatic, tough-minded, indefatigable, funny, a very valuable colleague, and a superb representative of the United States all over the world," he writes of the former secretary of state.

Atheist family sues to keep New Jersey students from saying 'under God' in Pledge of Allegiance
The Garden State has apparently become "ground zero" for devout, angry atheists intent on imposing their beliefs on Americans of all religious stripes.
On Monday, the American Humanist Association announced that it has filed a lawsuit in state court challenging the famous phrase "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance on the premise that those two words discriminate against atheist children.
The plaintiffs in the lawsuit are an anonymous family, CBS New York reports. The defendant is the Matawan-Aberdeen Regional School District.
The suit, which was actually filed last month, was announced just after the filing of a federal lawsuit alleging that state's Motor Vehicle Commission violated a New Jersey woman's constitutional rights by preventing her from having a vanity license plate reading "8THEIST." (RELATED: Devout, angry atheist finds new thing to sue angrily about: VANITY PLATES)
The American Humanist Association asserts that the offensive phrase "marginalizes atheist and humanist kids as something less than ideal patriots."
The phrase "under God" was officially added to the Pledge of Allegiance in 1954. (The oath itself was penned by socialist minister Francis Bellamy in 1892.)
The anonymous plaintiffs say the phrase violates New Jersey's Constitution whenever it is uttered in a public-school setting. They want to force public schools and all children who attend those schools to return to the pre-1954 wording of the pledge, which doesn't contain the phrase.

This is the multi-handset cordless phone that provides superior reception and voice clarity as well as easy set up. Its audio provides crisp, clear voice quality without the static and echo that plague inferior models.

The phone system's DECT 6.0 technology provides static-free calls up to 155' away from the base station, far superior to models that drop calls beyond 100'. The two-line digital answering machine/charging base has a large, easy-to-read LCD for caller ID (requires subscription), and can synch with up to four Bluetooth devices, enabling cell phone calls to be placed and received using any handset. It supports up to 12 handsets (one included; additional handsets sold separately). The cordless handset features a 20-number autodial memory, an illuminated keypad, and an intercom function.

Great phone set
By GranmaKK
from Palo Alto, CA
This is probably more phone than we need for our home use (lots of bells and whistles), but we were tired of buying lesser systems that didn't last. So far, this is an impressive system that was relatively easy to set up and works well.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

A few problems.
By Gramdoc
from Gainesville,FL
The "soft keys," including the menu selection and call log, are not particularly easy to fathom. My previous phone provided much easier access to the call log and when using the AT&T answering system there is no message light indicator on the phone.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: Thank you for your comments. This phone has an answering machine tone that beeps every 10 seconds to let you know of new messages. This alert is off by default but can be turned on (see instructions in manual). With voicemail services, a small envelope icon should appear.

A GREAT phone and wonderful reception
By Becky the flower girl
from Frankfort, Indiana
Had purchased an expensive phone system for my hearing-impaired father, but when he passed and I brought it home and used it, I was quite disappointed with it. Not good range, very unclear for others to hear me, etc. I am SO happy with your phone so far and look forward to many good years of clear phone conversations on it.

very disappointed
By Max
from Longport, nj
i charged the handset for 24 hours, spoke on it for 20 min, a few hours later it had no charge. I could not set up other handsets, even after I unplugged all other house phones as suggested. Directions say to keep it in charger when not in use,
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: Thank you for your comments. We sincerely apologize that this item did not meet your expectations. The Hammacher Schlemmer Institute conducts rigorous, unbiased testing to find the best products within a category and found this phone to be the clearest and easiest to set up. For proper charging, make sure to charge before first use for 16 continuous hours. Also, ensure the phone is properly in the cradle. The charge light will be lit when charging. We value your complete satisfaction and ask that you contact our customer service team at 1-800-321-1484 if they can assist you with returning or exchanging this product.

have no complaints so far
By SS the phoner
from Brooklyn, NY
I just bought this phone. So, it didn't go through the time test yet. So far, it works to our satisfaction. We needed a phone for my wife working from home. She has a lot of conference calls throughout a day and needs a clear sound when the phone is on speaker. This model has better sound than our previous phone, even though I was reluctant to buy AT&T brand. At this point I do not have any cons to mention.
AT&T Phone
By bj
from FL
1. The volume on base and handsets need to be louder.2. There should be a light on the handset to let you know which line you are on. It is a 2 line phone. This helps to let you know that you have hung up the phone and not just switched the lines over. Which can happen. Instead you have to go look at the base phone to make sure the lines are hung up.
I would buy this again
By John
from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
Found this product easy to install and not that difficult to negotiate.Service was great and delivery was super fast.
I would buy this product again.
By Bet
from Viera, FL
We are happy with the phones. It was some difficult to set up because it was so different from our last ones, but now that it is done, it works great.
Great reception but very difficult to us
By Jim
from SF bay area
Returning phone as it has great reception range on the cordless handsets but as a phone, very difficult to use.
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: Thank you for your comment. Please reference the instruction manual for detailed instructions on set up and use. Should you have further questions, please contact our customer service team at 1-800-321-1484 and they will be happy to assist you.

Terrific...and it has Bluetooth
By Eddie of Vegas
from Las Vegas, NV
Even though it is terrific you can not get more than 15-feet away fromthe base with a Bluetooth device.
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: Thank you for your feedback. Per the manual, the Bluetooth range should be a max of 30 feet.

* Mon May 21 2012 firstname.lastname@example.com - Use BuildRequires: libgnutls-devel instead of gnutls-devel for Factory in keeping with gnutls package naming changes. * Wed May 16 2012 firstname.lastname@example.com - rename nagios-plugins-libs to nagios-plugins-common as this package contains more than just the libraries * Fri Apr 27 2012 firstname.lastname@example.com - fix build on ix86 - only recommend subpackages that have new (and not always available dependencies) - move examples directory to the libs package: the permissions file there is more useful here - new subpackage nagios-plugins-all recommending all other subpackages * Thu Apr 26 2012 firstname.lastname@example.com - do not package check_xenvm on ix86 as this setup is (no longer) supported * Wed Apr 25 2012 email@example.com - added nagios-plugins-enhance_check_sensors.patch (thanks to Craig Gardner): return unkown if the needed kernel module is not loaded * Mon Apr 23 2012 firstname.lastname@example.com - introduce a new subpackage nagios-plugins-libs that contains most of the content of the former nagios-plugins package. That should make updates easier as the nagios-plugins package itself can now require all former included packages and the single check-packages just need to require the nagios-plugins-libs package on demand - change recommends to requires in nagios-plugins and nagios-plugins-extras, so users with 'solver.onlyRequires'=true can also upgrade to the new package layout without problems - provide the nagios-plugins-xenvm package only for x86 hardware as the required xen-tools are just built there * Tue Apr 17 2012 email@example.com - update README.SuSE as users should also allow broadcasts in their firewall if they use check_dhcp (thanks to RÃ&frac;diger Oertel) - split up the checks into subpackages to follow the other distributions and allow users to install a minimal setup on their machines with minimal dependencies (moved dependencies into subpackages) -
