America's Religious Heritage and Religious Freedom
We Americans are blessed with a rich spiritual heritage. Dating back to the Pilgrims and the Mayflower Compact, our society has been based upon Christian principles. Our culture is imbued with Judeo-Christian values. Until recent times the display of religious symbols in public arenas – without controversy, testified to the broad cultural consensus regarding the important influence of religion.
Today our Judeo – Christian heritage and our prevailing value system are under relentless attack.
The ACLU and its lawsuit mentality exemplifies the determination of militant atheists and radical secularists to re-make the United States into their own image – Godless and faithless.
Their mission is to purge every vestige of our Judeo-Christian heritage from public life – no Ten Commandment displays, Stars of David or Christian Crosses in public buildings or on public grounds, no prayers at public events, no reading from the Bible or even references to God or the Scriptures at public events. They intend to remove "In God We Trust" from our coins and currency. They want to take "One Nation, Under God" out of the Pledge of Allegiance.
The truth is that these folks are the most intolerant force in our society today. They want to silence people of faith.
Unfortunately, the secularists and historical revisionists are often aided and abetted by black-robed judicial tyrants who have perverted the Constitution's specific prohibition against an official state – sponsored, tax-supported religion. They have twisted the Constitution into a weapon with which to deprive the vast majority of Americans of the right to express their faith.
The activist federal judges are accomplices in a strategy to purge hundreds of years of Judeo-Christian influence and values from the public square.
As a member of Congress, I will do everything within my power to make sure that government coercion is not used to impose a secular orthodoxy upon the American people and American institutions.
In fact, the Constitution confers upon Congress the power to limit the jurisdiction of federal judges. It also grants Congress the power of impeachment. We must prevent judges from legislating from the bench, using judicial fiat to suppress the public acknowledgement of God and the display of America's most time-honored symbols of our faith traditions.
I will be a Congressman who will be vocal on behalf of religious liberty and in defense of American religious heritage.

When a recipient goes for an unlocked car loan, he should attempt a self-evaluation of his commendation report.

I am planning a trip to the Moab area in early June. Although it appears that GJT is the closest airport, we will be flying from Las Vegas and are finding better and cheaper flights flying into and out of SLC. According to Mapquest, Salt Lake City is a little over a hundred miles further than GJT. I know nothing about the roads in that part of the country. What does this add to actual driving time? Is there someplace interesting where we can spend a night half way on the return? (We are thinking of adding Capitol Reef NP and that would add more driving time so it might be good to break that trip up.)

I am planning a trip to the Moab area in early June. Although it appears that GJT is the closest airport, we will be flying from Las Vegas and are finding better and cheaper flights flying into and out of SLC.

I think you will do better flying into and out of Las Vegas.
Rental cars are a bit cheaper in LV. Make a loop seeing Bryce, Zion, Rt. 12, Capitol Reef, Moab (Arches & Canyonlands), Monument Valley, south Rim Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam on the way back to Las Vegas.

I wouldn't fly at all. It's about a 7-hour drive from Las Vegas to Moab. You're only going to save three hours by flying by the time you count airport time, and if you are going to more than one park, you'll save even less. If you don't mind the drive, just do it all by car. You're going to have to rent or extend a rental regardless, and it's almost always going to be cheaper to extend a rental, especially in Las Vegas, where car rentals tend to be cheap.
If you fly to Salt Lake City, it's still a 4-hour drive, so you really aren't saving any actual time at all by flying there. You would certainly save time if you flew to Grand Junction, however, but if it's cost-prohibitive, you don't have any other good choices.

Thanks for your replies. We have already visited Bryce and Zion (twice) and were only interested in Arches and Canyonlands for this time.

Unless you opt for GJT, do consider just driving from Vegas. If you go up 15 to 70 then down 191 it is only about 6 and a half hours drive. It will take more than that to get to the airport, check in through security, fly to SLC, get to the rental car and drive to Moab from there. It will be much less costly also.
There is a small airport in Moab also that will probably not show up on the sites, but you might check that as well as GJT.

There are flights into Moab now. They may fly from SLC to Moab. Check it out. It's 4 hours from SLC to Moab. Its about 4 hours from Torrey (just outside Cap Reef) to SLC. You could do a loop--drive from SLC to Moab. Then over to Cap Reef and then up to SLC. The only place I stop between Moab and SLC is Price. They have a good dinosaur museum there. Between SLC and Torrey there isn't much. Unless you drove from Cap Reef to Goblin Valley State Park and then drove the 4 or so hours up to SLC. But there basically isn't much between here and there.

I've flown into Moab a couple of times. I think 1 or 2 flights a day. There is 1 gate. It's pretty hilarious actually. If flights are on time, it can't be beat. The negative is, that if a flight is cancelled, then it is really hard to get another one. It will show up on expedia and sites like that(normally does for me anyway). GJT is a very nice scenic drive to Moab. Personally, Vegas or SLC is a long way off. Heck, Denver is about as close as Vegas.
DO NOT MISS Goblin Valley. Also right by Goblin Valley is probably the easiest/best slot canyon to do--Little Wildhorse Canyon. Not to be confused with Wildhorse(you want Little Wildhorse). Goblin Valley would be a nice stop from SLC to Moab. Or, it's not that far from Moab Airport to Goblin Valley. If you haven't don Capitol Reef, it is worth doing too.
I alway put a plug in for www.deserthighlights.com. This is canyoneering. Very safe, very cool, very addicting.
If you happen to be into Indian Petroglyphs/Pictographs, right near Goblin Valley is Horseshoe Canyon/Great Gallery. This is the canyon where Aaron Ralston was found. Blue John Canyon is a branch off of Horseshoe Canyon. He was actually trapped in BlueJohn, but walked out in Horseshoe. This is a detached section of Canyonlands. Very remote.

The drive beyond Bryce Canyon NP on Route 12 through Escalante, Boulder, Capitol Reef NP is incredible. I would highly recommend driving, although you need to stay in Escalante or somewhere on your way to Moab. Lots of interesting places to stop along the way, like Goblin Valley as spiro mentioned above.
Report Abuse
It seems kind of silly to me to fly from LV to SLC in order to drive to Moab. Just drive from LV.
And I would recommend the first leg of that drive to go up hwy 12. If you haven't taken that yet then you absolutely need to. You can drive right past Bryce, or you can spend half a day reminding yourself why it is a national Park. Stay in Torrey overnight and see Capitol Reef.
Then the second leg head west on I-70 and enjoy that drive through the San Rafael Swell... really amazing.
If you really don't want to drive but don't mind layovers then consider flying into Moab itself: http://www.discovermoab.com/airline.htm

Racibórz – a town in southern Poland on the Silesian Highland, capital of Racibórz County. It lies 76 km southwest of Katowice, 367 km southwest of Warsaw. It lies in the Racibórz-Oświęcim Valley, on the Odra river.
Adam Marczewski
According to Marcus Brann, a 19th century researcher of Jewish history in Silesia, the earliest Jewish settlement near Racibórz dates back to 1060. However, this information does not seem very likely and it has no confirmation in any historical sources.
Another information, written down by one of priests of Stara Wieś (now a district of Racibórz), which dates back to the second half of 11th century states that where the church of Saint Nicholas stands, used to be a synagogue. According to some uncertain folk stories, a wooden synagogue used to be in Stara Wieś. The presence of Jews in Stara Wieś in the 11th century is probable because Rarcibórz was then a part of the Great Moravia, where Jews could freely settle. They could travel through the Moravian Gate in business and reach Racibórz by the Amber Road.
Priest Augustin Weltzel, on the other hand, notes that the first Jews of Racibórz come most probably from Khazars, whose country was in the Lower Danube region. It was not until many years later that Jews from Germany joined them.
Marcus Brann states that in 1367 Jews lived in Racibórz on Sukiennicza Street (today Solna Street) in the vicinity of the town wall. The first synagogue stood on the corner of Solna and Lecznicza Streets (then Żydowska Street – Ger.: Judengasse) . According to Weltzel, the synagogue dates back to 1432. In 1379 Jews resided in the part of the city located west from the city square. In 14th century, there was already a Jewish municipality in Racibórz.
In the beginning of the 16th century, the competition between Jewish and Christian merchants in Silesia grew. The Jews were becoming wealthier, which evoked growing anxieties in the townspeople, who begun to file complaints on the Silesian Jews to the authorities in Vienna. The town of Racibórz, using the unfriendly attitude towards the Jews as a pretext, accepted the privilege de non tolerandis Judaeis issued by the Czech king Władysław. On 1 January 1510, duke of Raciborz, Valentin the Hunchbacked, issued a privilege which banned all Jews from Raciborz. As a result, Jews could not settle in the town. However, it is known that Jews lived in Racibórz at least until the mid-16th century.
When Silesia came under the rule of German emperor in 1526, the Silesian Jews came under the jurisdiction of the Holy Roman Empire, to
Local history
Adam Marczewski
The stronghold of Racibórz by the Oder River dating back to the 11th century was first mentioned by Gallus Anonymous, who described in his chronicle a battle of 1108 between the knights of Bolesław III Wrymouth and Moravians for power over that settlement. The name of the town comes most probably from the German name Racibor (a germanised form: Ratibor), which means "fighting at war" or "eager to fight".
Its convenient location at the crossroads of trade routes from Bohemia and Moravia to Cracow and Ruthenia facilitated the development of the settlement, which was the seat of a castellany in the 12th century. From 1172 to 1532, Racibórz was the actual capital of an autonomous duchy. About 1200, Mieszko I Tanglefoot established the first mint, which issued coins with the Slavic inscription "milost"[1.1]. The settlement was granted municipal rights under the Flemish law about 1217.
The 13th century saw the rapid growth of Racibórz as a large centre of commerce and craft (drapery and weaving). The city had deposits of salt and hosted the largest grain market in Upper Silesia. In 1241, Racibórz managed twice to resist the invasion of the Tatars. At the time, the settlement was already fortified and protected by a moat from the south and west side. With the passage of time, the Flemish law ceased to respond to the needs of the rapidly developing centre and was replaced in 1299 by the Magdeburg law, which entrusted power over the town to a council composed of the richest bourgeois.
In 1327, Duke Leszek (1306–1336) paid homage to King John of Bohemia, whereby Racibórz came under the sovereignty of Bohemia and started to share the political fortunes of Silesia. In 1331, the Duchy of Racibórz was taken over by a cadet branch of the Bohemian dynasty of Przemyslids. 190 years thereafter, it was incorporated into the district of Opole under the rule of Jan II the Good, the last living representative of that Silesian branch of the Piast dynasty. In 1532, Racibórz came under the direct rule of the Habsburgs, who reigned in Silesia after Louis II of Bohemia and Hungary died heirless (1526). The town fell into decline in the 17th century, when it was destroyed by the Swedes on several occasions in the

Prior frequency reports have identified a number of factors influencing claim frequency including increases in cumulative injury claims, increases in smaller non-cumulative injury claims that may have been reported as medical-only in the past, increases in the proportion of indemnity claims relative to total claims, and increases in late-reported indemnity claims and the proportion of medical-only claims that later transition to indemnity.
In this latest update, WCIRB researchers studied the influencing factors driving recent claim frequency based on the most up-to-date data available. The WCIRB's principal findings include:
- Unlike in most other states over the last several years, California indemnity claim frequency has continued to increase as WCIRB data currently indicates increases of 3.2%, 3.9% and 0.9% in 2012, 2013, and 2014, respectively.
- The number of late reported indemnity claims continues to increase, whereas the percentage of medical only claims reported after 18 months has generally remained stable since 2007.
- The level of cumulative injury claims has continued to increase. Approximately 13% of indemnity claims are estimated to involve a cumulative injury in 2013 compared to approximately 8% in the 2005 to 2007 period.
- The growth in cumulative injury claims beginning in 2009 has been concentrated in claims involving more serious injuries and multiple injured body parts. Both the proportion of cumulative injury claims involving indemnity benefits and the proportion involving injuries to multiple body parts have increased significantly since 2010.
Shifts to a less hazardous composition of industries in California ("industrial mix") have historically driven claim frequency downward. The recent economic recovery in higher hazard industries such as construction and manufacturing has had the opposite impact. In 2013, rather than dampening claim frequency, shifting industrial mix is increasing claim frequency by approximately 1%.
The 2010 increase in frequency was greatest in industries that were most impacted by the recession (e.g. construction and real estate). Since 2010, relativities for higher-frequency industries such as agriculture, construction, and entertainment have increased while those for the lower-frequency industries such as real estate, professional services, and finance have declined.
The 2010 indemnity claim frequency increase was generally experienced across all California regions. Since that time, the increases have been concentrated in the Los Angeles area. Indemnity claim frequency increased an estimated 9% in the Los Angeles Basin region from 2010 to 2013 while, similar to the pattern shown in many other states, other California regions showed modest declines. By comparison, indemnity claim frequency in the Bay Area declined by 7% over the same period. The Los Angeles area also has experienced significantly higher numbers of cumulative injury claims and claims involving multiple body parts than other regions of California.
As the economy recovers, newer workers enter the system and are often more likely to be injured on the job than more experienced workers. The proportion of injured workers with less than 2 years of experience at their current job has grown by 8% from 2010 to 2014, suggesting the economic recovery is a significant driver of recent claim frequency increases.
The full Analysis of Changes in Indemnity Claim Frequency—January 2015 Update Report is available in the Research and Analysis section of the WCIRB website.

Edderston Cottage
Peebles, Scottish Borders
Just 45 minutes from historic Edinburgh lies Peebles, a quiet, picturesque Scottish Borders town that straddles the beautiful River Tweed. Just a short stroll from the town centre (pubs, restaurants and hotels), but situated down a peaceful, leafy street sits Edderston Cottage.
Quick Info
|Sleeps: 2
|Bedrooms: 1
|Changeover Day: Sat
|Pets Allowed: No
|No smoking
|Bathrooms: 2
This delightfully quaint detached, stone-built cottage, which was originally used as a gardener's cottage, is set in its own sweet enclosed garden, giving you that 'country cottage' experience, whilst still having easy access to the town.
This pretty cottage has been crafted to suit two people just perfectly. The snug, comfortable living room is bright and attractively furnished, with the seating positioned around the lovely traditional open fire, which is perfect for a relaxed night in after spending some time exploring the area. The kitchen is homely and well-equipped, with a traditional gas Rayburn for cooking and also making the room feel toasty. There is a stylish seating area in the kitchen, as well as a separate bright dining room laid out just for two. Also on the ground floor is the generous bedroom with king size bed and cosy window seat and a contemporary shower room with shower, WC and wash basin.
The upstairs of the cottage has been converted to provide an additional sleek and modern bathroom with a spacious shower and even a luxurious corner bath to soak in after a hard day's sight seeing. Having the two bathrooms really proves to be invaluable if you are both getting ready for an evening out!
Outside, the driveway provides ideal private off road parking for one car and leads straight up to the entrance, so it is very handy for when you arrive with your luggage! There is also on street parking. In addition to the garden and grassed area there is a small paved courtyard (with furniture and chiminea) and a further seating area at the side of the house with access to a charming raised deck area (also with furniture), that is a perfect sun trap during the day and is ideal for relaxing with a drink in the evening. There is also a shed that provides secure storage for bikes, etc.
Nearby Tweed Valley is quite ideal for walking, as is the famous Southern Upland Way. The route is 212 miles in total, but there are several smaller walks within it that are rather more manageable.
The area around Peebles is also an absolute mecca for mountain bikers. Lots of official bike trails have been set up, from forest roads to single tracks and steep downhill sections.
Only a mile away, is Glentress Forest which is widely thought to provide the best mountain biking in the whole of the UK, with green, blue, red and black-graded trails. It also has various walking trails of different lengths and even a Go Ape treetop adventure course for those looking for an adrenalin rush!
Fishing is very popular in the Peebles area. In fact, the town's coat of arms even features three salmon, referring to their annual migration up the River Tweed. You can fish for brown trout and grayling on the River Tweed from April to September and day tickets are available. Golf is also available nearby - the Peebles Golf Club has a beautiful 18-hole course and visitors can book individual rounds or day tickets.
It is well worth taking time to explore the originally market town of Peebles itself, where there is a swimming pool and leisure centre. The Chambers Institution on Chambers Terrace is definitely worth a look. It houses the town's library, as well as the Tweeddale Museum and Gallery which runs a series of exhibitions through the year.
The Institution was gifted to the people of Peebles in 1859 by William Chambers, who was a Scottish publisher who was born in the town. He went on to become one of the founders of the Chambers Harrap publishing house and even had a street (Chambers Street) named after him in Edinburgh, where a statue of him now proudly stands. The bustling capital is easily reachable in under an hour by train from Galashiels (19 miles) or by a regular bus service from Peebles.

text: Sportsbook Forum Discusses Possible Florida Fantasy Sports Ban By SBR Friday, October 23, 2015 Share with: There is a fantasy sports betting discussion trending at SBR Forum on Florida possibly being the next US state to ban daily fantasy sports. SBR readers are giving their opinion on fantasy sports betting: There are supporters and naysayers, and many who land somewhere in-between. This article includes excerpts from some of the most pointed remarks from the SBR Posting forum. Sportsbook Review reported on October 15 that Nevada dropped the hammer on the likes of FanDuel and DraftKings, who recently were marred by an insider trading scandal that continues to dominate fantasy headlines. Concerning the onslaught of advertisements, SBR member 'daneblazer' had the following to say: "Perhaps if they were a little more subtle with their advertising they would be catching such heat? It's [expletive] eeeeeeeverywhere. And respectable people shilling for it too. I don't need Bill Cowher telling me his best fanduel values before the game" SBR poster 'That Dude': "NBA and MLB commissioners both came out in supports of DFS in the last few days. With that much money behind them I think they are safe for the most part. Wouldn't surprise me to see some form of regulation but an outright ban is very unlikely." SBR poster 'MoneyLineDawg': "A microcosm of what's wrong with America. The next time they focus on an issue or problem that actually matters in society will be the first." A supporting post by SBR poster 'Kermit': "I have to admit that I know many people that have bought the NFL ticket on Direct TV just to watch obscure games now because of Fantasy. Fantasy football has made even the worst games of the week worth watching. It is also not unusual to hear the commentators talking about player's fantasy stats in games." Upside from Fantasy Sports Betting Attention The similarities between fantasy sports betting and traditional sports betting are too much for the sports leagues or lawmakers to ignore. At the end of day, gambling on sports is gambling on sports, and it may very well be a useful argument in court for New Jersey to use at the Third Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia when they again present their case to bring legal sports betting to Atlantic City casinos. Sportsbook Review interviewed NJ State Senator Ray Lesniak on this very topic last week.

Open long-term care beds at Holy Cross Centre: Towle
EDMONTON, AB (September 18, 2013): With the Holy Cross Centre receiving its Occupancy Permit from the City of Calgary on September 13, Health Minister Fred Horne must immediately reverse AHS' out-of-touch decision to shut down 77 long-term care beds, Wildrose Seniors Critic Kerry Towle said.
Rouleau Manor, located in the Holy Cross Centre, was home to over 77 people who had been living in long-term care before being permanently relocated after June flooding. The facility opened for occupancy just two years ago on October 17, 2011, "with a particular focus to support patients with Korsakoff's and other dementia." "This is just another case of an out-of-touch PC government mismanaging our health care system," Towle said. "Right now there are over 430 Albertans waiting in acute care beds who need specialized long-term care. To shut down these beds is flat out wrong." Towle said the closure of 77 long-term care beds at Rouleau Manor is a part of a repeated pattern under the PC government that prefers the closure of long-term care beds for high-need patients to support its misguided continuing-care model. "AHS' own capital plan shows the health authority plans to scrap 1,659 long-term care spaces by 2018," Towle said. "Instead of targeting the services that our seniors rely on, it's time for this government to get its priorities straight."

By Davis D. Janowski
Basically, this latest dedicated appliance from Check Point is meant for larger networks that can afford to add some dedicated internal security. Administrators who have been bitten by Blaster Slammer, or Sobig as the result of a road warrior returning and contaminating the network, will probably go for this product$9,000 to $39,000 depending on the configuration of the network. Check Point claims a whole host of other pre-emptive protective technologies as well.

In every area of practice, WilmerHale brings the insight, dedication to excellence, and commitment to client service needed for our clients to achieve their business objectives. Our five-department structure and team approach to service enable us to provide the highest level of responsiveness and access to lawyers with the most appropriate experience.
View All Publications & News ›
View All Events ›
Our commitment to providing a voice for all is demonstrated through pro bono contributions that range from cases of national importance before the US Supreme Court to litigation on behalf of individuals who lack the means to secure necessities as fundamental as housing, adequate medical care, and protection from abuse and exploitation. Through these efforts, and through community service initiatives that have grown into thriving partnerships, we work to enhance the quality of life for many in our local neighborhoods and around the globe.
We have a responsibility to help strengthen our communities, and encourage our lawyers to meet this obligation through pro bono work, government service, service to the bar and teaching. We support public institutions and charitable organizations in the communities in which we practice, and encourage leadership and support on the part of our lawyers through matching gift programs and service on boards and committees.

A steadfast commitment to pro bono representation has been a hallmark of the firm since the early 20th century, when Partner Reginald Heber Smith—considered the father of legal aid in the United States—authored the seminal book Justice and the Poor and galvanized the organized bar nationally to secure equal justice for those unable to afford counsel. More than seven decades later, in 1992, Partner John Pickering led the effort to establish the Pro Bono Institute's Law Firm Pro Bono Challenge and ensured that WilmerHale was its charter signatory. Today, as measured by The American Lawyer and other leading publications, WilmerHale's pro bono program ranks as one of the top in the country.
Our lawyers have been involved in many of the influential legal cases and social developments that have shaped the nation. In 1954, Partner Joseph Welch, assisted by lawyers James St. Clair and Jack Kimball, represented the US Army on a pro bono basis in the nationally televised Army-McCarthy hearings. In 1963, Partner Lloyd Cutler served as a leading force in creating the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, at the behest of President John F. Kennedy.
The firm's pro bono efforts have also influenced historic developments around the world. Through the Southern Africa Legal Support and Education Project, WilmerHale joined with others to fight apartheid and establish the rule of law in South Africa. Our lawyers also helped write the constitutions of several central European countries after the fall of the Soviet Union.
For more than a decade, our lawyers have provided pro bono legal services to indigent persons through the WilmerHale Legal Services Center of Harvard Law School, a major clinical teaching facility that has assisted more than 20,000 individuals.
Our pro bono efforts span a diverse range of issues and interests, and include the following highlights:
The firm continues to honor the legacy of its founders through an innovative community partnership model that brings lawyers and staff together as volunteers to make a decisive impact on issues facing our local communities. The model includes multi-year financial support, pro bono legal representation, volunteer service and in-kind donations agreed upon by the firm and the participating organizations.
Community Partners
Volunteer Programs
WilmerHale hosts numerous volunteer events in its offices, with firm lawyers and staff coming together to serve the community. For example:
In 1993, the firm and its partners who attended Harvard Law School provided the funds to establish a permanent site for the WilmerHale Legal Services Center of Harvard Law School. Since then, this unique relationship has grown far beyond the initial "bricks and mortar" donation.
For more information, visit the WilmerHale Legal Services Center of Harvard Law School website.
For a look at the history of the center, view "The Hale and Dorr Legal Services Center: 1993-2003: Ten Years of Creative Collaboration Among a Law School, Its Legal Services Center, and a Private Law Firm," a case study by Shira Shaiman.
WilmerHale continues to honor founding Partner John Pickering's legacy and lifelong commitment to public service through the annual presentation of the Pickering Fellowship. This program allows a selected associate to spend six months working at a public interest organization.
Pickering Fellowship placements include:

In this special Earth Focus report, climate scientist James Hansen describes what is needed to solve the growing climate problem. Dr. Hansen explains the dangerous inertia behind the climate system and why we're currently seeing only part of the changes that will occur. Hansen says that science shows we cannot burn all of the available fossil fuels, we must leave a portion in the ground, and that's why alternative energy is necessary. But because the fossil fuel industry has such a hold on politicians and the executive branch, it's the courts who should step in. This country was founded the idea that all people deserve equal protection of the laws, Hansen states, and inaction on climate change is discrimination against young people who will pay the bill for the fossil fuels burned by today's generations.

Are Israeli Settlements in the West Bank Really Illegal?
Summary ... As far as most of the world goes, the legality of the communities in Judea and Samaria has been determined, in secret, by the International Committee of the Red Cross, an international relief organization. It is not a judicial body, yet, in the case of Israel, the majority of the world has chosen to accept its rulings as law. However, the legal status of "Palestine", designated as the "Jewish national homeland," was already established almost 100 years ago by the League of Nations, the San Remo agreements, and the British Mandate.
Although many substantive legal arguments support the right of Jews to build in Judea, Samaria (the West Bank) and eastern Jerusalem, Israeli communities are accused of being "illegal," according to international law. But, what is this "law" and who decided that Israel was guilty?
UN Resolutions? They are not laws, or sources of law. The International Court of Justice (ICJ), is the UN's primary judicial organ. Its advisory opinions are only recommendations, and, although they are influential, are not proper legal decisions. Unable to get a fair hearing before the ICJ, Israel does not appear there.
In fact, the UN Charter (Article 10) does not grant the General Assembly, or the ICJ the authority to determine the ownership of disputed territories — although it does.
"The law" is the Fourth Geneva Convention — one of the most important sources of conventional international and humanitarian law. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), the official "guardian," of GC IV, meeting secretly at their headquarters in Geneva, in 1971, unilaterally decided that Jewish communities built in areas acquired by Israel as a result of the Six Day War "violated" GC IV and were therefore, "illegal."
Because ICRC rulings are considered authoritative, they are used by the international community to condemn Israeli "settlements," and "occupation."
The legal status of Palestine, designated as the "Jewish national homeland," was established by the League of Nations (1920), San Remo Agreements (1920) and British Mandate, and endorsed by the US Congress; that was "the law," and remains so today, despite the ICRC.
ICRC and UN Resolutions declare that "Israeli settlements are illegal;" they don't say, however, to whom this territory belongs. Palestinian [sic] leaders have said they will declare sovereignty and ask for UN recognition. But, with the PA [PA/PLO] divided between Fatah and Hamas, its leadership shaky, who rules, and who will rule in the future?
Arab leaders themselves can't decide about a second Arab Palestinian state — the first was Transjordan, established in 1921, two-thirds of whose population is Palestinian — since that means accepting Israel; none are willing to give up the "Palestinian right of return," control of eastern Jerusalem, and eliminating settlements.
UN recognition of the PLO [Palestine Liberation Organization], beginning in 1974, six months after it massacred school-children in Ma'alot, provided legitimacy, but the PLO — "the sole representative of the Palestinian people" — has rejected the "two-state-solution" as an end-of-conflict. Its Charter, calling for the elimination of Israel by force, remains unchanged.
The Oslo Accords (1993), Hebron Agreement (1997), Wye River Accords (1998) and Gaza Disengagement (2005), which gave the PA large areas of Judea, Samaria and all of Gaza and placed nearly all Arab residents of these areas under PA rule, "land-for-peace," provided the basis for self-government, and eventual statehood.
Legal questions regarding Jewish presence in Judea, Samaria and eastern Jerusalem remain; the ICRC's decisions, therefore, are crucial.
Since ICRC deliberations and protocols are secret, however, there is no way of knowing how they arrived at their decisions, nor is there any possibility of appeal.
The ICRC's unique interpretation, contrary to the obvious intent and purpose of GC IV, was designed specifically to thwart Israeli settlements; it was never applied in a comparable situation elsewhere.
Many prominent jurists and the Israeli government have rejected charges of "illegality" and "occupation," arguing that the provisions of GC IV do not apply, and that, at best, these areas should be called "disputed," subject to negotiations.
Despite the ICRC's refusal to open its archives and explain itself, in defiance of all democratic and judicial norms of conduct, accountable to no one, and deliberately distorting facts, their decisions are widely accepted as law. We need to know how and why the ICRC made those decisions. What are they hiding, and why?
Opposing Jewish communities in Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem may be politically expedient, a convenient charge to indict Israel, but assaulting their legality is baseless.
Editor's Note:
The International Committee of the Red Cross is an international organization that provides aid and asssistance for all peoples, and receives billions of dollars in aid from individuals, organizations and nations. It needs to be held accountable, especially in this situation. Meeting in secret, behind closed doors, is not how ethical orgainzations conduct business. Information for contacting the ICRC may be found on their Web site. In addition, in the United States, you can also contact your Congressional representative and Senators, as well as the US President.

The 'Palestinian' News You Don't See
The tragedy of the pro-'Palestinian' movement is its attachment to a single narrative: "Look at how wretched the lives of the 'Palestinian' people are," they tell us, "It is because of Israeli oppression." Because this narrative must be constantly reinforced, there is little room for real reporting about the failures of the 'Palestinian' leadership and the corruption and infighting that have caused the 'West Bank' [i.e., Judea & Samaria] and Gaza to languish.
The "Spontaneous" Intifada Is Orchestrated by the Palestinian Leadership
The Arab leadership is attempting to portray the current Intifada as a kind of popular, spontaneous struggle that expresses the population's despair over the political situation. In reality, it is an Intifada supported and directed by the Arab leadership of the PA/PLO-Fatah and Hamas.
Uncomfortable Questions for Comfortable Jews: The Temple Mount
Rabbi Meir Kahane points out that, contrary to popular belief, the Temple Mount is in Arab hands, the cunning Arab foxes. And the words of Motta Gur ring hollowly — and it is the Jews who are to blame. They took a miracle and disdained it. They, who took holiness and profaned it. They who were given a Zion, a Jerusalem, Temple Mount — gave it over to the jackal-foxes.
In Depth Analysis
Hamas Document - 2017
Hamas explains general principles and objectives in 42-article document.
The Real Goal of the 'Palestinian' Intifada
PA/PLO leader Abbas seems intentionally to ignore that he and his PA/PLO are responsible for the violence, as a result of their daily incitement against Israel. A recent poll found that approximately half of 'Palestinians' believe the "Intifada" should lead to the destruction of Israel.
The Hidden Hand Behind the Palestinian Terror Wave
What is really going on behind the scenes of the current terrorist attacks? It's actually a lot more than what is seen on a daily basis. Hamas is fighting to take control of the PA/PLO while Fatah is doing its best to stay in power and get Gaza back under its control.
A Matter of Priority - The Jonathan Pollard Case
US Jewish leaders blew it recently when what was a rare opportunity to ask the US president face-to-face to release Jonathan Pollard, they didn't even consider the matter as being a priority.
Obama Declares War on Israel
Obama needs to wake up. The real enemy is not Netanyahu. The real enemy is Iran, Hizb'Allah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and Islamic State, and the establishment of a terrorist state in the midst of Israel.
Could Barak Obama Swing the Upcoming Israeli Election?
It's no state secret that US President Barack Obama is not a huge fan of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. His distain for the Jewish leader is well-known throughout the world; he's never tried to hide it. But now that Israel is having new elections in March does it mean Obama could, either directly or indirectly, influence the elections in Israel in order to obtain a defeat for Netanyahu?

Albanians have been trying to figure out what to do with the pyramid for years. Just last month, the parliament passed a law to tear it down. Even so, opponents of the demolition are gathering petitions to save the building. And the current president is deciding whether to sign the bill or side with the protesters.

I Am Receiving a Security Certificate Error on Windows 7 Running Internet Explorer 10 because of tracking.jotform.com includeAsked by jhegyi on September 09, 2014 at 04:42 PM
Today I have begun receiving reports from both fellow employees and members that when any of our forms hosted with JotForm are loading, that they are being accompanied by a security certificate error. I do not know all the various browsers that have received the error, but, I've been able to reproduce the error described to me on my machine, which runs Windows 7, on Internet Explorer 10.
While I've not been able to reproduce the error on either Firefox or Chrome, all of our staff members and most of our membership uses Internet Explorer and so this is a big problem for us. We are a financial institution and we cannot allow our member to think there is any possibility of a security problem with any of the tools that we use.
The error message appears on a bar at the bottom of the window that has a gold stripe across the top of the bar. The error message reads "Internet Explorer blocked this website from displaying content with security certificate errors."
I've looked through the other similar questions raised on the forum and tried to implement each of their solutions but with no change in the message.
I would appreciate it if you could look into this and get back with me regarding any possible solutions to the situation.
You should find a screenshot from one of our forms while showing the error message attached to this support request and, while I have included the URL for that particular form, this appears to be universal through all of the forms I have hosted with JotForm.
JotForm Support
I checked your form and I am able to reproduce the SSL issue. Usually this happens when insecure content is loaded to a secure page but in this case I do not believe that is the issue. When I ran a test on your page all the elements do load securely however it appears there is a problem with one of our certificates.
I have submitted a bug ticket to our developers to what may be causing this and we will update you as soon as we have any further information. We are very sorry for the inconvenience and hope to have this remedied soon.

Hey @jhegyi,
Problem is fixed,

text: * Nikkei reverses morning gains * Ebola-related shares boosted on suspected Ebola case * Test results expected by Tuesday morning By Thomas Wilson TOKYO, Dec 29 (Reuters) - Japan's Nikkei gave up early gains on Monday after the health ministry announced a suspected case of the deadly Ebola virus, dampening investor risk appetite but boosting health-related shares. The benchmark index was down 0.8 percent at 17,672.97 points by 0431 GMT, after advancing 0.4 percent in morning trade. It briefly fell as far as much as 1.6 percent. A man in his thirties who returned from Sierra Leone on Dec. 23 was suspected on contracting the disease, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare said. Test results are expected by Tuesday morning. If confirmed, it would be the first case of the Ebola virus in Japan. "The Nikkei was heading towards 18,000, but the Ebola news has pushed investors to a risk-off position," said Masayuki Doshida, senior market analysts at Rakuten Securities. "For now, everyone is waiting for the results to come in." Ebola-related shares jumped, with air filter manufacturer Airtech Japan Ltd soaring 14.5 percent and protective clothing maker Azearth Corp climbing 16.0 percent. Fujifilm Holdings Corp, which said in November it expected its influenza drug Avigan to be approved to treat Ebola as soon as the end of 2014, gained as much as 2.3 percent. The Nikkei had gained in early trade after a strong Wall Street performance last week boosted appetite for riskier assets and buoyed investors' confidence in the outlook for equities in 2015. In a holiday-shortened Christmas week, both the Dow and the S&P 500 closed at record highs in a broad rally. Recent gains have come on the back of promising economic data that has lifted expectations of sustainable growth in the world's largest economy. The broader Topix and JPX-Nikkei Index 400 also surrendered earlier gains. The Topix shed 0.5 percent to 1,420.56, while the JPX-400 lost 0.6 percent to 12,880.60.

I've been pondering an idea lately which may or may not have merit. In the "Incident", Ilana asks Richard what lies in the shadow of the statue. Translated, the response he gives is "He who will save us all". At the time the question was asked, Locke's body was literally in the shadow of the statue. Now I know several people have already theorized that Locke might somehow rise from the dead. But I have a different idea. What if the FS Locke is the one who will save them? We see at the end of "Happily Ever After" that Desmond is planning to contact the people from flight 815 to "show them something". What if the FS Locke awakens to the OT and is conscious of the MIB and is somehow able to stop him? We've already seen how the MIB is affected by Locke's memories. Thoughts or comments on this crazy idea?

What constitutes the best way to turn an outdoor lamp on and off will depend on the type of outdoor lamp post light fixture you have and your perspective when it comes to convenience and safety. There are several factors to consider, therefore, when determining which approach is the best way for your circumstances.
What Type of Lighting Do You Need?
If you installed an outdoor lamp post fixture on your property for the purpose of merely "dressing" the front of your home's exterior at night, making it look cozy and "lived in," you will probably wish to manually turn the lamp on and off at a switch located near the front door. If this same kind of post light is located in your backyard, you should put this light on a switch near your back door entrance.
If, however, your front- or backyard post lamp needs to provide security for your property after dark, or if the lamp is supposed to light a potentially hazardous walkway, an automatic system that doesn't require your direct interaction may be a wiser and more practical choice.
Automatic Systems: Light Detection
A lamp post based on a light detection sensor will begin to turn on (in a warm-up stage) at dusk and become fully illuminated at dark. The lamp will continue to burn until dawn, at which time the lamp will begin to step down until it finally turns off completely in daylight conditions. You can purchase lamp post fixtures that operate on this technology, or purchase socket adapters that will install in any existing fixture with a screw-in bulb base. These socket adapters work with standard incandescent lamps but they may not work with newer CFL bulbs.
The chief drawback to a light-detector lamp post like this is the energy cost of an incandescent lamp that burns for nearly eight hours a day, 365 days of the year. A good option is to place a light-detection socket adapter on a standard light post that also operates on a manual switch inside the house. When the indoor switch is in the "on" position the light will turn on at dusk and stay on throughout the night, but you can still opt to turn off the lamp post from the manual switch.
Automatic Systems: Motion Detection
A motion-detection type lamp post will only turn on when the sensor detects motion in the vicinity of the lamp post. You can set the range of the sensor so it turns on when something moves in front of the sensor, up to 20 feet away, or you can narrow the sensor to only turn on the light when something moves within a few feet of the sensor. You can adjust the length of time the lamp stays lit before it turns itself out.
Motion detection socket adapters are available but these will only work in certain designs of post lamps where the lamp enclosure won't block the "view" of the motion-detector sensor located at the base of the bulb. Many motion detector socket adapters are also bulky and may raise the light bulb so high from the socket base that the lamp post cap can't be properly sealed.
The upside of a motion detector lamp is energy savings over an always-on light. But the chief drawback to motion detectors is that, when configured poorly, they can be triggered by a passing car, a pedestrian, or pets and rodents that break the detection beam, not just invited guests coming up the walkway. Under certain conditions a motion detector light can cycle on and off many times during the night, creating a weird visual disruption: There is something disquieting about watching a post light turn on and off, on and off, on and off, repeatedly during an evening. If your lamp post can be turned off by a manual switch from inside the house, you may find you're keeping such a "winking" light turned off more than you're allowing it to stay on.

|Socio-ecological and endocrine predictors of cycling irregularity in the wild baboon (Papio cynocephalus): A life history characterization
|Livingston, Emily
|Altmann, Jeanne
|Ecology and Evolutionary Biology
|Class Year:
|This study explores the environmental and social factors that combine to exert similar effects in the menstrual patterning of a population of wild yellow baboons (Papio cynocephalus) in Amboseli, Kenya. Irregular cycles are associated with significantly reduced fertility as well as fetal loss in both humans (Rowland et al 2002)(Bently 1985)(Gluckman and Hanson 2006) and baboons (Altmann and Alberts 2003)(Gesquiere et al 2006), but the exact forces responsible for such compensatory or senescence-related menstrual irregularity remain uncertain. The indirect effects exerted by psychological and physiological stress on sex hormones via the hypothalamic-pituitarygonadal axis are well documented. However, greater specificity of life history patterns in postpartum amenorrhea and cycling irregularity needs to be established in order to assign comparative weight to underlying socio-ecological forces, and to assess separate long-term consequences of these occurrences (Livingston 2012). The main findings of this study are as follows: When drought was concurrent with a female's adolescent sub-fertility, she required two more cycles on average to achieve first conception. Drought preceding her maturation yielded no significant difference in the number of cycles required for her first conception. Concurrent drought conditions interacted with multiparous females' rank and her fGC hormone concentrations to predict longer PPA duration, however drought alone was not a significant predictor of longer PPA. Instead, lower rank was a stronger predictor of lengthier PPA duration; rank demonstrated an even stronger correlation with PPA during drought conditions compared with non-drought and for primiparous females compared with multiparous females. Primiparous females exhibited longer PPA than multiparous females (controlling for the effects of rank, age, fGC, drought, and accounting for female identity). Older age was not a significant predictor of longer PPA duration after fGC was controlled for. Higher fGC hormone concentrations predicted longer PPA, when all of the aforementioned socio-ecological predictors were controlled for. Infantile death rates (defined by survival < 1 year) were significantly higher when drought preceded parturition, while primiparous females also exhibited significantly higher infantile death rates than multiparous females. Longer non-conceptive cycles did not occur more frequently during drought conditions.

Johnny Taylor didn't headbutt a rival, insists Ferguson
Glenn Ferguson says he expects Johnny Taylor to be lining up in his Ballymena United defence at the start of the season.
Taylor was sent off in a friendly fixture against Ballyclare Comrades but Spike says the former Glentoran ace didn't headbutt anyone and will not be hit with a six-match ban.
"I think there has been a misunderstanding regarding the incident and Johnny didn't headbutt anyone but he could be looking at a two-game ban at some stage," said the United boss.
"We have no other concerns other than Mark Magennis missing the first few games which we knew about and William Faulkner is out for one.
"I've let a few go, brought a few in and the first-team squad of 22 players will be working hard. There is good competition for places and we'll see how things pan out when the season starts."
The Sky Blues open their campaign against Linfield at Windsor Park next Saturday.
Ferguson is also keen to fight off the Blues' interest in David Cushley.
"I spoke to David on Saturday and he's happy here," added Ferguson. "I learned of a Linfield bid of £10,000 while I was on holiday and I told our chairman John Taggart 'no'.
"There has been speculation of another bid but I spoke to Warren (Feeney) and their chairman (Jim Kerr) at their Europa League game at Windsor and they had no knowledge of it."
Cliftonville boss Tommy Breslin remains hopeful he will land his top summer transfer target - Darren Murray.
The striker has expressed a desire to leave Portadown and join the Reds.
"Portadown have said they don't want to sell Darren but talks are ongoing and things can change," said Breslin.

Soothing Ginger Tea
Recipe by Bonnie G 2
Found this recipe in Martha Stewart Living Magazine and as I love the taste of ginger decided to try it. Lovely, soothing tea with the fresh taste of ginger and spices of cardamom and fennel. Good for after a heavy dinner or stressful day.
Top Review by Baby Kato
Wow, wow, wow. I absoultely loved this tea. It had most of my favorite spices in it. I used my motar and pestle to freshly ground the spices, I adore the subtle flavors this brings out. Made exactly as written, but without fresh mint...mine is covered by snow, so I used a mint syrup instead, which worked well in this recipe. I left it to brew for 20 minutes, it was perfection, lovely and bold. Thanks for sharing a new favorite. I have added this to my favorites cookbook for 2013 Kudos to you.

Heavy rains overnight cut the the Costanera Sur Pacific coast highway at the community of Ventanas between Uvita and Palmar Norte, said the Consejo Nacional de Vialidad.
The runoff from the rain took out an entire drainage system and destroyed part of the road. The consejo said that one day would be needed to make temporary repairs and another day for complete restoration of the roadway.
The consejo said that the alternate route is the Interamericana Sur. Detours are in pace at Dominical and Palmar Norte, the consejo said. The area endured up to 100 millimeters (nearly 4 inches) of rain Monday night, The national emergency commission said that a shelter was opened in Jericó for residents of a seniors complex. Damage was reported in Las Vueltas, Las Palmas, and Chires in the Quepos area and in Paquita and Cocal in Garabito.
In addition to communities on the central Pacific coast, there was flooding in Santa Cruz on the north Pacific coast, the commissions said.
A shelter was opened to house residents of Río Seco, el Cacao and Paraíso, the commission said.
The Río Bejuco flooded out of its banks and did damage in Nandayure on the Nicoya peninsula. There also were damage repots from Puriscal and Turrubares.
The Instituto Meteorológico Nacional blamed a low pressure area north of Panamá that caused the heavy downpours. It said this system was soon to interact with the approaching tropical storm, Tomas.

Intellectual property can be used without being used up; the marginal cost of an additional user is zero (costs of media and paper to one side), so once a piece of intellectual property exists the efficient price of an extra copy is zero, for that is where price equals marginal cost. Copyright and patent laws give authors a right to charge more, so that they can recover their fixed costs (and thus promote innovation), but they do not require authors to charge more. No more does antitrust law require higher prices. Linux and other open-source projects have been able to cover their fixed costs through donations of time; as long as that remains true, it would reduce efficiency and consumers' welfare to force the authors to levy a charge on each new user…
The GPL and open-source software have nothing to fear from the antitrust laws.

Can technology make trade fairer? I've been working with colleagues at the universities of Cambridge, Bradford and Queen Mary on a new EPSRC-funded research project to find out. You can read more at our Fair Tracing blog.
We are currently completing preparations for our first field trip to visit our partners in the coffee-growing regions of southern India. I'll also be talking about our work at the India International Coffee Festival in Bangalore, and the Doors of Perception design conference in Delhi. It's going to be an exciting and (hopefully) worthwhile project!
