Making rights a reality for every child
In Why incorporate? Making rights a reality for every child produced by the ROCK coalition, a compelling case is made for enshrining the rights of children into our law at a time when governments and others are looking for fresh approaches to protecting and promoting children's wellbeing and development. There is cross-party consensus on the importance of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child; however, it is not yet enshrined in UK law.
The ROCK coalition works towards:
- Achieving the active recognition and realisation of children's rights in the UK through the incorporation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) into UK law.
- Identify and acting upon opportunities for the incorporation of the CRC into UK law. To develop a detailed position as to how incorporation may be achieved and a strategy to achieve it, taking into account international developments.
- Working together to maximise the opportunities to strengthen children's rights that are presented by proposals from the UK Government, the devolved administrations and opposition parties for a British (or UK) Bill of Rights or similar instrument, and to guard against any threats to children's rights that are posed by such proposals.
Incoroporating the Convention into UK law would allow sustainable
improvements in children's rights and bring about change for children far more quickly than the current piecemeal approach to reform.
It would place the systematic consideration of all children's rights front and centre in every piece of legislation and policy affecting children. Public agencies would also have a duty to protect children's rights.
Wider than the legislative agenda incorporating the Convention would prompt the cultural change needed across the UK to ensure children's rights are meaningful, respected, protected and implemented.
It would also help to raise awareness of children's rights throughout society, and among all those working with or for children and young people.
YoungMinds is a member of the ROCK coalition and is campaigning for the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child to be enshrined into UK law.

We find it very interesting that President Obama's inaugural address today included the words: "All men are equal." Notice anything missing? Obviously he was quoting the best-known phrase in any of America's political documents, the Declaration of Independence, in which Thomas Jefferson penned these immortal words: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that a
How very clever that environmentalists have changed "global warming" to "climate change." This way, they can count on receiving taxpayer money even if the earth is found to be cooling down.
Come November, which presidential candidate will you vote for? While the candidates' views on many issues will influence your decision, we hope that one of these issues is their view regarding origins and the teaching of evolution in public schools.

The arbitration will be held in Albany, New York before one arbitrator on an individual basis and not as a class action. You expressly waive any right you may have to arbitrate a dispute as a class action. You also expressly waive your right to a jury trial. The arbitration will be administered by JAMS, Two Embarcadero Center Suite 1100 San Francisco, CA 94111 (http://www.jamsadr.com). You may obtain a copy of the rules of JAMS by contacting the organization. You and Bright Hub shall agree on one arbitrator to conduct the arbitration. In the event the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator, the arbitrator will be selected in accordance with the JAMS rules. Each party shall be responsible for its own attorney, expert and other fees, unless such fees are awarded by the arbitrator to the prevailing party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section (DISPUTE RESOLUTION), to the extent you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate Bright Hub's intellectual property rights, Bright Hub may seek (and you will not contest) injunctive or other appropriate relief in any state or federal court in Albany, New York, and you consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in such courts.
Arbitration FinalThe arbitrator's award is final and binding on all parties. The Federal Arbitration Act, and not any state law concerning arbitration, governs all arbitration under this clause. Any court having jurisdiction may enter judgment on the arbitrator's award. If any part of this clause, other than waivers of class action rights, is deemed or found to be unenforceable for any reason, the remainder shall remain enforceable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the waiver of class action rights contained herein is not enforceable as to any person or persons, such non-enforceability shall apply to such person or persons only, and all other persons shall continue to be governed by the Arbitration Clause.
Giving Up Right of Class ActionThese Terms of Use provides that all Disputes will be resolved by binding arbitration and not in court or by jury trial. IF A DISPUTE IS ARBITRATED, YOU GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS MEMBER ON ANY CLASS CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST THE BRIGHT HUB ENTITIES INCLUDING ANY RIGHT TO CLASS ARBITRATION OR ANY CONSOLIDATION OF INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATIONS. WITHOUT LIMITATION, THIS INCLUDES GIVING UP YOUR RIGHTS TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION AS SET FORTH IN ANY STATE STATUTE.
California ResidentsIf you are a California resident, to the extent permitted by California law, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which states: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor" as well as any other unknown claims under California Civil Code Section 1542 or any statute or common law principle of similar effect.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, these Terms of Use are governed by the laws of the State of New York, excluding any law or conflicts of law principle that would apply the law of another jurisdiction. To the extent a Dispute is not governed by the Arbitration Clause, you hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of courts in Albany, New York in all disputes arising out of or relating to the use of the Site or under these Terms of Use; provided, however, that in the event Bright Hub is sued or joined by a third party in any other court or in any other forum in respect of any matter which may give rise to a claim by Bright Hub hereunder, you consent to the jurisdiction of such court or forum over any claim which may be asserted by Bright Hub therein. You irrevocably consent to the exercise of personal jurisdiction by such courts in any such action. In addition, and notwithstanding the foregoing, you irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that you may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon you and may be enforced in any court in which you are subject to a jurisdiction by a suit upon such judgment. Use of the Site is unauthorized in any jurisdiction that does not give effect to all provisions of these terms and conditions, including without limitation this paragraph. To the extent a claim is not governed by the Arbitration Clause, Bright Hub and you each hereby waive the right to a trial by jury in any court and in any suit, action or proceeding, whether in tort, contract, or otherwise, in which any such party is a party, as to any claim arising out of or in connection with these Terms of Use, your or Bright Hub's rights and obligations under these Terms of Use, the Site, use of the Site, and/or the services and/or products that may be provided by or through or in connection with the Site.

An Intentional Detour
In my last few blogs, I wrote of my hope that
The Promise of Israel
can help foster a new kind of conversation about Israel, a conversation rooted in ideas and not focused on the conflict. Israel's importance to the world, I suggest throughout the book, is its central idea: the Jewish State is a reminder of the dangers of unfettered universalism, a call to arms urging us to celebrate our differences.
But during the course of writing the book, it became clear that I needed to make an intentional detour in the argument. For as I spoke about the manuscript in front of audiences, it became clear to me: there's a sense among many American Jews, particularly among the younger generation, that they really don't need Israel any longer. American Jews feel completely secure, entirely accepted. They love Israel, but, they argue, they don't really need Israel.
So I decided that I needed to include a chapter towards the end of The Promise of Israel to address this. I needed to remind them that Israel isn't just a homeland far away, but it's actually the generator that provides an enormous portion of the energy for the American Jewish community. Sans Israel, I decided to argue, American Jews would find themselves without perhaps the one issue that truly motivates and energizes their community. Without Israel, after all, what would remain to make Jewishness anything more than some anemic form of ethnic memory long-since eroded? About what else in Jewish life, besides Israel, do contemporary Jews feel shame, or anger, or exhilaration? What else in Jewish life evokes the same intensity of emotion? It's actually hard to think of examples.
When JCC's discuss whether or not they should be open on Shabbat, do people get exercised? Not really. When a Jewish home for the aging decides to cease offering kosher food, does the issue bring out the masses? In 2011, a proposed ban on circumcision in San Francisco that both saw Jews at the forefront and had clear anti-Semitic overtones; but did it provoke a stir anywhere near as powerful as what happened after an Israeli naval raid on a flotilla thousands of miles away the year before? Not at all!

Basically it'll mean that a class is a small developer company, able to share development apps within the team as they learn programming skills. Ultimately the school can also publish them through the App Store. You can either see this as a kind-hearted attempt by Apple to aid higher education, or a way of tapping into a rich vein of imaginative developers for new apps for the App Store. Either way, it's interesting stuff, though for now it's limited to accredited schools in the US. [Program page via AppleInsider]Reply18 repliesLeave a reply

Make Awesome Website Backgrounds With Gradient for Mac OS X
If anyone around here is a web designer, you might be happy to hear about this cool new program in beta testing. It's called Gradient. It's only available for Mac OS X right now, and it's currently free. The maker of the program is a company named, Jumpzero. Currently the author's intentions are not clear; he may put it on the Mac App Store to sell it later on.
Gradient is a program capable of automatically creating CSS code. All the user needs to do is click on the magnifying glass above the large circles at the top to pick a color. Once the user clicks on one of the magnifying glasses above the circles, a giant magnifying glass will pop up. You can click any color on your screen to pick a color. Then do the same thing for the other circle.
In the picture below, the magnifying glasses were used to pick a light gray and light black color from the Lion desktop wallpaper. The giant circle at the bottom of the application shows what the gradient will look like. The buttons above the giant circle allow the user to control the direction of the gradient. By clicking the little CSS button in the bottom right, as shown below, the CSS code becomes visible. The CSS code can be copied into TextEdit, Adobe Dreamweaver, or whatever you choose to do your web design in. The big 'copy' button under the large gradient circle in the bottom will copy the code for you.
Now of course, this is all that Gradient does. It's not meant for anything over-the-top, basically just for adding gradients to the background of a webpage. Users could always get creative and use it for table backgrounds as well.
Gradient is versatile. It has settings to adapt to all major browsers embedded within its preferences. It also has radial gradient settings for your colors hidden in the pull down menus. Color professionals can even input their own RGB and HEX values.
Gradient can be downloaded for free here.
What do you think of Gradient? Was it interesting to try? Leave comments below saying why, or why not!

Nice platform layout.I wish i had a mac though
Okay program Good for newbies to website designing, but still you can do so much more just hand-coding the gradient. Plus if you hand code you get more experience.

The lovely Erin Wynkoop submitted this elegant but easy recipe for your Super Bowl party. This will go nicely for those who may insist on drinking wine instead of beer, and with the pinky finger sticking out, no less.
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 yellow onion, finely diced
- 1-3 cloves crushed garlic
- 1 12oz can diced tomatoes, Italian-style, drained

Simmer over medium heat for 45 minutes or until reduced. Serve on sliced and toasted French baguette. Top bruschetta with shaved aged parmesan cheese.

Rick Neuheisel explains Rocky Seto ordeal, sort of
UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel made waves last week when he offered the vacant defensive coordinator position to former Trojan Rocky Seto.
Neuheisel, who still has yet to hire a DC after nearly two full months, only exacerbated the situation when he rescinded the offer, a move he made 24 hours after he offered Seto the job and Seto accepted it. Neuheisel's wavering hinted at a possible undercurrent of fan power, as news of Seto taking the position immediately incited a vehement backlash among UCLA supporters.
Neuheisel briefly commented on the Seto situation during a Thursday conference call with reporters.
"I asked him for his commitment if I decided to go forward," Neuheisel said. "I wanted to make sure he was ready, and before it reached regents approval, which was necessary, other factors came to light that made it probably not the right time. I don't want to divulge (those factors). I have to be wary of everything. It just became not the right time. For obvious reasons, I can't divulge all that."

Sgt. Corrin Campbell is a singer, songwriter, bassist, and Soldier who has given her life and music to serving her country. A native of Duluth, Minnesota, Campbell entered the Army directly after graduating high school. Since her enlistment, she has served as a U.S. Army musician as both a bassist and vocalist. In 2003 she was selected to participate in the Army's Soldier Show, showcasing her talents for seven months while performing across the United States, Guantanamo, and Korea. She was honored to perform with Wynonna Judd at the 2003 Army Birthday Ball and several TV and radio interviews covering the tour.
From 2004 to 2005 Campbell deployed to Baghdad with the 1st Cavalry Division in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom II. Serving as the lead vocalist for the rock band and bass player for the Latin band, she had the opportunity to entertain the troops across Iraq as well as performing during the farewell ceremonies for Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez and Ambassador Paul Bremer. Within this tour her band also supported USO tours by opening for Robin Williams, Ted Nugent, and Toby Keith.
Campbell then took her service in a new direction, serving in the Reserve component of the US Army and starting an independent music career in Baltimore, Maryland. Her ability as a songwriter blossomed, releasing both her first extended play and full-length album with great success. Over the next several years she toured with her band, performing from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial to 6th Street in Austin, Texas. In 2010 Campbell was selected to open the Lilith Fair Revival in Columbia, Maryland. The show included performances by Sara McLachlan, the Indigo Girls, Sara Bareilles and many more. As her career as a rock artist progressed, the U.S. Army offered her an opportunity to join her two careers in a unique position as the featured performer of Army Musical Outreach.
Campbell now represents the U.S. Army Recruiting Command by performing at high schools and music festivals, as well as representing the Army in the media through telling her unique story of service to her country. Campbell also performs a reverent rendition of the National Anthem across the gamut of professional sporting events to include recent performances in Heinz Field in Pittsburgh, Penn., and at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, Calif.

OK guys. What is this??
It says 30-06 Sprg. A friend found these and didnt know what they were so he brought them to me. It looks like a belted 30-06 but it measures in the 30-06 specs. It just looks like a belted case from the groove thats in it. The primer is quite a bit bigger than normal though. He brought about 25 or so to me. I dont have a clue, but I'm sure its some kinda military round. |

In what looks to be the most painstakingly created montage in recent memory, someone named Eclectic Method has recreated Jay-Z's "99 Problems" using movie quotes. The thing is, it's not just audio files pieced together but actual clips from various movies. The sources range from Apollo 13 to Black Snake Moan to Ace Venture: When Nature Calls, and there's even a few Disney clips thrown in for good measure. Apparently this whole thing only took about a week's time, but goddamn if it doesn't look like it took a lot longer. Maybe I'm just not that good at video editing.
You can watch the montage below. It's pretty wild.

I think the XS are favorites. They've pretty much replaced my V-80 since they fit better, are more comfortable, and sound better. The V-80 is just a collector's item now.
As for the XS vs. M-100, they both sound different and for certain genres I'll prefer one over the other. Music that is vocal driven sounds better on the XS because of its forward midrange, whereas stuff that is mainly instrumentation I prefer on the M-100 for its larger sound stage. EDM and Pop sound great on both, so that just depends on which one is within grabbing distance. I can't really choose one over the other in terms on sound quality.
What it really boils down to is portability and for that the XS wins. I do a lot of walking and commuting via public transportation and I usually have my headphones on all day, whether they are on my head or around my neck. The large ear cups of the M-100 are awkward because they touch my throat and chin when I have them around my neck. They also take up more room inside my backpack which seems to get progressively more crowded.
The XS, on the other hand, doesn't bother me when it is around my neck and when my backpack is full I don't need to take the XS off because they are barely noticeable. They don't isolate as much the M-100, but rarely do I need that much isolation anyway. Trains will always be too loud to fully isolate with on-ears and over-ears and I like that I can hear traffic noises when I'm walking around.
Seasonally, the M-100 will be my outdoor winter can since they work great as earmuffs while the XS will serve me during the summer.
+1 basically sums up my thoughts. Except i dont really have much strictly "non vocal music. So for me the xs a fair bit more. Xs i find is a more all rounder. Still want a bit more treble extension and maybe a bit less laid back.
The xs are soo amazingly portable its insane
Odd i usually dont wear on ears in the summer, still sweat in them. I use iems then, my xs kept me warm for whatever was left of the winter

The loss of passengers at Ontario, which is down from a high of 7.2 million in 2007, doesnât make sense because the three fundamental drivers of travel â" population, employment and income â" have grown in the Inland area, Johnson said.
Employment is up 1.6 percent for 2012 and unemployment is falling, he said. Median income rose from $42,404 in 2000 to $52,112 in 2011.
Despite those improvements, Ontarioâs decline has had a devastating economic impact on the Inland region, Johnson said. Last year, the losses were $849 million and 10,100 jobs, compared with 2007.
The airportâs decline is not just an inconvenience for travelers, âthe economic consequences are really quite dramatic,â said board member Ron Loveridge, former Riverside mayor.
The authority board instructed Executive Director Chris Hughes to request that the Ontario report be placed on the Los Angeles airport commission agenda so commissioners can view the statistics authority board members saw Monday.
LA airport commissioners should be curious about the performance of the airport they govern, but âit just appears it doesnât matter to them,â Wapner said.
The authority also will invite the commission to hold a meeting in Ontario, as it used to do once or twice a year. The practice stopped about four years ago, Wapner said.
Failing that, authority board members and other Inland leaders could attend an airport commission meeting in LA and speak during the public comment period, when each speaker is limited to three minutes.
The board also heard a report on cargo. Ontario and LAX are the only Southern California airports that have much cargo business. Hughes said if Ontarioâs control tower is closed overnight because of automatic federal budget cuts, the cargo business could be affected.
Wapner said Ontario might have to pay for its own air traffic controller to keep the economic benefit of the cargo trade in the region.
âUnfortunately, I donât think better news is going to come until we get control of our airport,â he said.

Playing the Numbers Game: Copts and the Exercise of Power
With 25 January upon us yet again, the "Coptic question" remains as salient as ever. This hermeneutic expression, similar to Shlomo Sand's historicization of what was the "Jewish question," in the context of contemporary Egyptian nationalism, is important to interrogate. This is in light of continued state-focused analysis post 25 January 2011, which seems to have been reified over the past two years. From electoral results and state dynamics to constitutional drafting and ratification, the Copts find themselves in a precarious position vis-à-vis the state and a new political reality. Perhaps more so now than the past few decades they are increasingly on the fringes of formalized political expression and participation. Most attempts to inject a critique of the status quo are met with the demographic argument—if there were more Copts then the realities would reflect their political will. The overwhelming obsession with both state and nationalism often yields a discourse of identity that places Copts within a narrow confine. In parallel, continued fascination with the symbolism of intertwined crosses and crescents on protest signs, priests and sheikhs arm-in-arm in marches serve to create superficial imagery foregrounded by an extended lacuna.
As the offensive film, The Innocence of Muslims, made news worldwide in the fall of 2012, and with one of its producers being a United States-based Copt, the discourse of sectarianism reached a momentary crescendo and rendered Copts pariahs to be controlled and necessitating the exercise of "power" over them. While all of Egypt's Churches and their congregations denounced the movie and moved to a reactionary defensive mode, Copts continue to be lumped together and seen as a monolith, both in the diaspora and in Egypt, feeding tension, collective indictment, and, in some cases, sedition. Calls to disentangle diasporic Coptic communities and local ones continued to fall on deaf ears as the objectification of Copts reduced them to identitarian categories, and subjected them to a discourse that sought to divide only along the lines of geography and homogenizes based on affiliation. The diaspora continues to be lumped together discursively with the institutions of the Church, and competitively with the state and Islamist politics. Few have gone beyond this to question how representative a single American Copt is of the diaspora and Copts at large. This divisive practice reached a crescendo fueled by a discourse of sectarianism. Coptic 38 [1], a group that joined protests at the US Embassy, attests to the knee-jerk reaction and attack on the diaspora (collectively) made by Islamists due to the offensive movie. One of the mechanisms this divisive practice operates is by the quantification of Copts in Egypt; the insistence of linking the human rights agenda in Egypt to numerical representation. This dynamic is consistent with the view of feminists who seek to offset "gender imbalance" and achieve parity.
After Egyptian media reported the head of the Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics' (CAPMAS) statement that Copts were five million and 130 thousand (roughly 6.3 percent of the country's population), he went out and later clarified that this was not an exact figure and that CAPMAS had refrained from doing censuses of Copts. The initial estimate was roughly 11.6 percent of the Egyptian population. This estimate was quoted by Mohammed Hassanein Heikal's Autumn of Fury almost thirty years ago. The controversy over numbers was rekindled in 2007 when Abul Ela Mady, founder of the then-outlawed moderate Islamist Al-Wasat party, argued that Copts do not exceed six percent, not only adhering to the government number from the 1976 census, but also arguing that they are precisely 4.2 million. The peculiarity continues with Ibn Khaldun Center's 1996 estimate that Copts are five million (making them seven percent in 1996). Not only would that suggest that Copts are leaving Egypt, but it would also draw the picture of a massive exodus that has a one percent of population growth between 1996 and 2007, a claim that is not supported qualitatively and one that we should lay to rest. One of the claims of Abul Ela Mady's "study" asserted that the British censuses grouped British Christians together with Egyptian Christians. This was widely contested and as such led to a backlash that precipitated Amin Iskandar of the Karama party's reaction in his published column "I cannot hide my anger."[2]
When contextualized, this is in part a continuation of a larger controversy since the 1976 government census that claimed Copts are 6.31 percent. In response to his pronouncement, Bishop Marcos, spokesman for the Coptic Church, announced that the number of Copts ranges between ten to twelve million, about fifteen percent of the Egyptian population (Nahdat Misr, 12–13 July 2007); for Copts to be six percent, it would mean they had been leaving Egypt since the beginning of the twentieth century, a claim backed up by consecutive British censuses starting in 1907; ones that the likes of Abul Ela Mady refute.
Fundamentally, the Egyptian government has long avoided making any public announcements regarding the percentage of Copts since then; the 1976 census came after late President Anwar Sadat was infuriated with Shenouda's response to ongoing sectarian incidents that saw many Copts die. It was a veiled threat to the Coptic community about their insignificance as a national constituency; this claim can only be made by referencing Copts' numbers. The need to quantify the number of non-Muslims, specifically Christians, has been practiced in order to be able to tie their rights to their numbers. The biggest examples are the number of seats Christians received in the Constituent Assembly (Two for the Orthodox Church and one for the Catholic Church and one for Protestant Church) and the stipulation in the draft bill that would associate the construction of Churches with the number of native Christians residing in that area.
The continued fascination with the quantification of Copts has been heightened once more by many unsubstantiated claims citing the number of Copts leaving Egypt. One estimate cites 100,000 Copts have left Egypt since early 2012 but offers no evidence to back this claim. The controversy was so large that Dennis Ross of the Washington Institute for Near East studies, in an attempt to criticize Mohamed Morsi in the Washington Post, also cited the number, which compelled the Catholic and Protestant Churches in Egypt to contest Ross' statement and claim it is exaggerated. The discourse on Copts is effectively reduced to a numbers game in an attempt to outmaneuver the Islamists and critique them. Yet this discussion must be engaged within the context of the rules and formations of the discourse by backing such claims with verifiable statistics.
To understand why there is such a fascination with statistics on Christians in Egypt, one needs to take a look at the history of the debate and explore the avenues by which it empowered the different parties in their claims. There are often details that are purposefully hidden which serve as a backdrop to these different statistical claims. Only by exploring these incidents can we understand how different estimates are put in place to pigeonhole Copts and others to accentuate their plight and fuel sectarianism. Just as the government has its disputed statistics so too are there others who obsessively measure Coptic immigrants where no mechanisms of quantification exist. For a majority of reactionary politicians, it becomes an issue that can readily be mobilized on and a way to perpetuate an identity war at the expense of more pressing national issues such as police reform, judicial reform, a law allowing non-Muslims to build places of worship, socio-economic grievances, and the resilience of the state's authoritarian structures. In fact, overstating "the Coptic issue" hides the plight of Baha'is and other woefully underrepresented groups. In order to discuss human rights violations in Egypt, one needs to be inside a special group sanctioned by the discourse propagated by the government and its religious institutions. Thus the international arena and issue of the Coptic diaspora has become a harbinger in contemporary Egyptian politics.
Coptic Immigrants
There is still a gaping hole in the social scientific study of Coptic migration and most experts such as Ghada Botros admit that there are no available statistics on Copts in the diaspora. It is only in Toronto that an estimate exists where the Coptic Christian Egyptian community is at 200,000 following a lengthy and detailed comparative study by Botros [3]. She points out that because being Coptic is not an ethnicity, it is impossible to quantify incoming Coptic immigrants from Egyptians. There continues to be a debate among the diaspora as to whether to petition Western governments to classify being Coptic as its own ethnicity; most however reject that proposal and tend to prefer their Egyptian identity. It is interesting to note that the issue has been debated while explicitly stating that it is for the sole purpose of raising awareness for the Coptic cause. This issue is unfolding on the discussion boards of some Coptic Churches in the United States and elsewhere. The decision not to pursue classifying Coptic ethnicity as its own category, while may give rise to speculation and fuel the debate, is laudable for several reasons. The most important is that Copts do not follow the steps of government-influenced research that pushes for ethnic identity based on religion. The biggest example is social science research in Canada, where Judaism qualifies on a census as both a religion and an ethnicity. Though Canada seems to have an ongoing debate on what constitutes an ethnicity and its relatively arbitrary definition, they serve as a good example to show the dangers of religious identity solely [4]. This attitude would arguably increase tension and lead to furthering sectarian strife.
Back to Egypt: The 1976 Census
The Al Khanka incident is a vivid reminder of how the politics of numbers can fuel a discourse that limits and dominates Copts. In 1972, Muslims clashed with Copts over the use of a private home as a chapel in Al Khanka, rural village outside Cairo. As a result, the Chapel was torched by Muslims. In response, Pope Shenouda III sent one hundred bishops and priests to have a vigil at the sight; infuriating Sadat. Muslims then rallied after the incitement by the state and a riot took place under the watchful eye of security forces who did not interfere. This is what some people mistakenly say was the first time that Copts fought back. The confrontation continued and matters escalated even more so to new amendments to Islamize Egypt's constitution. This was an effective way for Sadat to quell the population and begin building support via an Islamic base. The Al Khanka incident among others would be used as evidence to support the claim that Copts were preparing for a state in Upper Egypt. Following the rhetoric of "numbers don't lie," the Egyptian government snubbed the late Pope Shenouda with its 6.1 percent estimate after the Al Khanka incident. The Church produced a long volume about previous censuses and how population growth rates denied this.
Unfortunately, however, this perpetuated the binary of refuting each estimate with a countervailing figure. The hidden part of this statistical debate is the continued denial of rights for all; instead, it was through congregations and large families that collective demands were made. By taking part in the statistical debate, some Copts acquiesced and tied their rights to their size and wealth. After census data about Copts were gathered, some proceeded to measure their land holdings and wealth. Islamists then readily used this information to talk about imperial designs to divide Egypt and automatically dismissed these writings as a British source that alters Egyptian identity and creates an imbalance in society. Examples include Abul Ela Mady's "study" that continues to be referenced by Fahmy Houidy, Rafiq Habib, and Tariq Al Bishri whose books on the Coptic issue are prime examples a perpetuation of this binary. The discourse rarely leaves this group of "moderate" Islamists. The fact is that Fahmy Houidy [5] defended Sheikh Ghazali who was summoned to Farag Fouda's assassin's trial to testify and ended up defending him saying he had killed an apostate. The quantification of the Coptic issue had rendered the cause dialectical and confined it within a rhetoric of political correctness consistent with a pre-determined agenda—one that is increasingly domineering.
While historically, Copts have been organized around this Ottoman Millet system (which made registering births, deaths, and communicating demands to the ruler the job of the community head), unfortunately the Egyptian government and the Coptic Church had continued this dynamic since Gamal Abdel Nasser. Take, for example, Pope Cyril VI's demand for building Churches:
[I]t was understandably humiliating for the Patriarch to find that any applications for building permits he made got lost in the labyrinth of the Ministry of Interior. So he approaches Nasser on the subject. Nasser was sympathetic, and asked how many new churches the Patriarch thought he needed. The answer was between twenty and thirty a year. Right, said Nasser, and immediately gave him permission to build twenty-five new churches a year (Heikal, 1983: 153)
Far from celebrating this achievement, the Pope had to secure continued concessions to build Churches if the regime did not object to any of his policies. This is how the Coptic Church was kept in check. The Church is thus continually cornered by its propagation of a narrative that is statistical instead of a strategy calling for the rule of law or equality. This has become the dominant, and only, method, of accruing concessions from an intransigent state. With the absence of a strong human rights agenda, the only language that the government understood was that of numbers. That is why it dominated debates both inside the institutions of the state and the public sphere. Even old letters from the early twentieth century, such as Hardinge and Rosebarry's correspondences [6], always focused on the number of Coptic schools, Coptic families, and their land.
This undoubtedly is the product of the Millet system. It is not uncommon for Coptic groups and for the Church to use wealthy congregation members as its interlocutors and lobbyists. This often amplified sectarianism to a large extent and politicized basic questions related to freedom of belief. The binary is therefore recreated with each side using its own statistics. On the one hand, the government claims Copts are a small minority and on the other hand Copts refute this and claim they have a wider material base and that their numbers are greater. This is a knee-jerk reaction to offset what Copts perceive as a lost battle due to their small numbers. The question should not be who benefits by increasing or lowering the estimate of Copts in Egypt, rather it should be to what means does this keep those in power secure? The fact that neither the Church nor the government have laid this question to rest shows a continued desire to propagate the discourse of sectarianism. The "statification" of the Coptic question institutionalizes power dynamics that disfavor and discipline Copts. This narrative is constructed as Copts as vying for an alternative identity" that is due to their strong alleged material base [7].
More often than not, Copts are mistakenly accused of wanting a Coptic state. Egyptian identity is an idea that is undefined but those who construct it in a certain way do so to omit Copts' nationalistic role and construct it to exclude them in society. That is why Copts in the diaspora are not only treated monolithically but are also demonized by state and Church. Instead, those who construct Egyptian identity in an exclusionary manner do so to disregard Egypt's past and instead view Copts as part of a British "divide and rule" strategy. Thus the binary and improvisation of statistics in studying Copts often says more about the power struggles than the "truth." Instead, it constructs a reality that accentuates some facts while hiding others. The numbers game in the Coptic issue thus becomes good currency for those attacking imperialism and Egypt's monarchic era and for those accruing concessions for the Coptic community while hiding the need for equality—Copts instead settle for equity not equality under the Millet system, a system the British inherited from the Ottomans.
British Numbers and their Impact
Citing several Egyptian sources, Samir Seikaly looked at the status of Copts in the early twentieth century:
"These opinions could be dismissed as being subjective and possibly biased. Facts, however, substantiate them...It was in this golden age that what was a dwindling minority in the mid-eighteenth century swelled into an entrenched one of about a million in 1914. This expanding number were given opportunities for education. In 1892 al-Tawfiq [a Coptic civil society organization], in its report on Coptic schools, regretted that there were no more than half a dozen Coptic schools, providing for the education of no more than 961 Coptic students. Indeed it recorded that there were no more than 1,674 Coptic students in all the schools in Egypt. By 1907 there were, we are told, 46 Coptic schools which, together with government and other denominational schools, catered for 21,675 Coptic students, among them 5,681 girls. In 1910 the number of Coptic students had risen further to 28,962, other, that is, than 243 students in colleges for further education. Simultaneously, a relatively large number of Coptic students were receiving some kind of technical and industrial training in two schools established by the Patriarchate and the Tawfiq society."
Seikaly therefore refutes claims of British preference for Copts or of their material cooperation with the British but he does show how there exists little post-modern historical accounts. Instead, statistics on Copts continued to bounce from each pedagogue to another—with Copts viewed either suspiciously as Compradors or as the leading prosperous community. Seikaly cites several sources including the 1907 Al-Hilal figure putting Copts at seven percent but remarks: "[T]hese figures must be treated with extreme care, but they indicate a healthy appetite for economic activity. One of the few Coptic historians explained this excessive concern with things material." One should, therefore, be able to conclude that far from those who took Lord Cromer, Kitchener, and Hardinges' letters seriously and complemented Copts, there were others who disputed these accounts. Copts were not a group that received preferential treatment, nor were they superior.
Rather, the historiography of that time period on Copts is symptomatic of a larger theme in the early twentieth century—an excessive fascination with all things material and landholdings. Through that, Britain tightened its grasp over Egypt, and along the way sought to catalogue all things to do with Egypt. In its effort to bring Egypt's resources and society under control, Coptic history suffered, too. It is therefore ironic that some of the vocal critics of the British, such as Abul Ela Mady and Tariq al Bishri [8], continue to question what the British did in an attempt to control a group in society by quantifying them. While British sources on Egypt are not the best, it does not automatically follow that they did so with the agenda of empowering Copts and amplifying their numbers. Those writing on the matter would be well advised to move past this impasse and understand how statistics were a tool in the hands of the colonizer whose "method" at times meant differentiating Christian names from Muslim ones in a registry. This was how the British undertook their project of controlling Egypt. Asking which statistic is "correct" is the wrong question; instead that number should be disregarded entirely along with the connotations and power claims it furthers. At this juncture in the revolution's life, Coptic history, and to a larger extent Egyptian history, must be reinterpreted without predisposed ideas about the Egyptian state and its identity. It must not be charted by the polarized dichotomy of nationalism and colonialism.

Stuart Pearce backs Fraizer Campbell for England
STUART Pearce has backed Fraizer Campbell to thrive at international level after handing the Sunderland striker a surprise call-up for the friendly against Holland.
Fraizer Campbell was fantastic on the road with us at under-21 level
Pearce, who has managed Campbell at under-21 level, said: "I know Fraizer quite well because the heads-up I've got is I've taken the majority of these boys to under-21 tournaments. He was fantastic on the road with us at under-21 level.
"He's come back into the Sunderland side and given them a real lift. I spoke to Martin about him at a game a few days ago and he spoke very highly of him.
"He's worked fantastically well to get back from the injury he's had. He's an exciting talent. I think he'll thrive by coming into this environment."
Also in Pearce's squad, the first since Fabio Capello stepped down, are Manchester United midfielder Tom Cleverley and Manchester City defender Micah Richards.
Pearce has been impressed with the way Cleverley, who has also recently returned from injury, has adapted to a central role.
"He started the season fantastically well," said Pearce.
"It's been a bit stop-start with injuries. He's come back into he United side, they've played him in a more central role, which is something I didn't do at under-21 level, and he's flourished.
"They (United) talk highly of him. He's got a big future. Just being around the senior set-up will stand him in good stead."
While Cleverley was part of Capello's plans. Richards was a notable absentee for almost the entire of the the Italian's tenure.
Pearce said: "He's done extremely well this year. To hold your place in the Manchester City side is no mean feat these days. He's had a smashing season.
"It will be interesting for him and his mentality coming back into the squad.
"It's important we nurture these talents and make sure they fulfil their potential.
"He's got a great opportunity to come in and impress."
He added: "We're on the home run for the tournament in the summer and I think it's important we get one or two of these young faces in here and see if they can handle a game of this magnitude."
Goalkeepers: Scott Carson (Bursaspor), Joe Hart (Manchester City), Robert Green (West Ham United) Defenders: Gary Cahill (Chelsea), Ashley Cole (Chelsea), Leighton Baines (Everton), Glen Johnson (Liverpool), Phil Jones (Manchester United), Micah Richards (Manchester City), Chris Smalling (Manchester United), Kyle Walker (Tottenham Hotspur) Midfielders: Gareth Barry (Manchester City), Tom Cleverley (Manchester United), Stewart Downing (Liverpool), Adam Johnson (Manchester City), Steven Gerrard (Liverpool), James Milner (Manchester City), Scott Parker (Tottenham Hotspur), Ashley Young (Manchester United), Theo Walcott (Arsenal) Forwards: Darren Bent (Aston Villa), Fraizer Campbell (Sunderland), Daniel Sturridge (Chelsea), Wayne Rooney (Manchester United), Danny Welbeck (Manchester United)

38-year-old firm changes to survive
Pam and Richard Hintermeyer have run Orange County Components Inc. in Costa Mesa, distributing electronic components for 38 years.
But three years ago, Pam, who is president and majority owner, realized the company would have to make major changes to survive.
You remember three years ago: The economy was in the worst and longest recession since the Great Depression. Huge corporations that had ignored this industry niche starting taking work away from OC Components. The firm lost half that part of its business, Pam Hintermeyer said.
Click on the photo of OCC's headquarters to see more of the changes the business made.
"Competition is very difficult for a small business," she said. "We have a good reputation and good customer service, but we had to offer our customers more than components."
About three years ago, OCC started cable and harness fabrication, mostly for the automotive industry, and recently it added circuit board assembly.
The Hintermeyers worked with Andy Lamb at Sunwest Bank to put together a financing package through a state program so OCC could buy equipment, move into a 6,000-square-foot building that is double the space the firm used to have and add five new jobs.
Hintermeyer now hopes to add at least nine more jobs within six months.
"Andy is a great banker; he understands our business," she said. "So we were able to get $450,000 term note and line of credit that we hadn't been able to get for two years."
One of the recession difficulties for small business had been that lending virtually stopped. Access to credit, even for veteran, stable companies was difficult. OC Components had to rely on more expensive receivables financing.
OCC now does full-service contract manufacturing, assembling and distribution for companies in medical instruments, military electronics, consumer goods and auto products.
"Some of our customers have been dealing with us 35 years," she said. "We wanted to offer them more.
"I am the first to admit that this expansion is still scary," she added. "Over the years I have come to realize that being a small business in California has certainly proved to be very challenging. (But) we are very excited about our future endeavor."

Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Bin Abdul Aziz Alsaud is chairman of Kingdom Holding Company, which went public on Tadawul, the Saudi stock exchange, in 2007. He is the world's 22nd wealthiest person, according to the 2009 Forbes World's Billionaires list.
Kingdom Holding has investments in companies such as
Alwaleed and several other investors took part in a combined $12.5 billion capital injection for Citigroup in January 2008; the amount of his personal investment is undisclosed. He is also an investor in technology companies like
Though Alwaleed is a member of Saudi Arabia's royal family, he has mostly stayed away from involvement in politics, preferring to pour energy into his stock market and real estate ventures. He has been outspoken about his disapproval of traditionalist political moves, especially the treatment of women in Saudi Arabia. In 2004, he hired the first female airline pilot in Saudi Arabia.
Alwaleed earned his bachelor's degree in business administration from Menlo College in California and a master's in social science from Syracuse University.
