Story highlights
- Polls in North Carolina close at 7:30 p.m. ET
- Both chambers of N.C. legislature are GOP-controlled for first time in past 140 years
- Indiana and West Virginia also hold primaries on Tuesday
Thousands of North Carolina voters hit the polls on Tuesday to cast their ballots on a referendum that would constitutionally ban same-sex marriage, even though state law already does not permit such unions.
Amendment 1 would alter the North Carolina Constitution to say that "marriage between one man and one woman is the only domestic legal union that shall be valid or recognized in this state."
Supporters argue that the amendment is needed to stop those trying to redefine marriage and to ward off possible future actions of "activist judges." It would also strengthen the state's position against same-sex civil unions, often considered a precursor to the marriage issue.
Opponents say the measure is redundant and could result in jeopardizing domestic violence protections for women and affect couples' health benefits.
Several municipalities in North Carolina provide benefits to same-sex couples, state officials say.
Duke University law professor Kathryn Bradley says those rights could be potentially lost if the referendum passes on Tuesday.
Concerns over the measure also home in on the potential for unintended consequences, she said, affecting issues such as child custody and the prosecution of domestic violence among unmarried couples because of the narrow definition of the new statute.
"Before domestic violence laws, we relied on criminal assault laws, which don't always protect against things like stalking," added Bradley, who says the measure could also affect heterosexual couples.
But Sen. Dan Soucek, one of the primary sponsors of the proposed amendment, said he doesn't "believe those are legitimate concerns."
"We looked at these issues extensively and tried to make sure that all of those concerns are addressed," he said.
A simple majority is needed for the measure to be approved.
It was passed in the state House and Senate last year. Both are Republican-controlled, the first time that's happened in North Carolina in the past 140 years, according to house officials.
"This bill's been 12 years in the making," noted Maxine Eichner, a law professor at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. "But it's now made possible because Republicans control the legislature."
Should Amendment 1 gain approval, it would largely prevent the state's judiciary from overturning the bill by enshrining its language into the state constitution.
Some 500,000 people had already cast ballots on the measure through early voting or absentee ballots.
Polls are set to close at 7:30 p.m. ET.
"It could destroy our family unit," said Kelli Evans alongside and her partner of 17 years, Karen Wade. "If they could see that it's a family they're affecting, maybe they could sit down and think about the issue before they vote on Election Day."
Others say the issue, if left unchecked, could one day undermine traditional notions of marriage.
Evangelist Billy Graham endorsed the ballot initiative, a rare move for a preacher who has typically avoided political fights. Graham took out full-page ads in 14 North Carolina newspapers touting his support for the measure, saying "the Bible is clear -- God's definition of marriage is between a man and a woman."
Graham's website encouraged churches to download a poster that bears his image and the message "Vote for Marriage May 8th."
On the other side, former President Bill Clinton opposed the amendment in a recording sent by phone to hundreds of thousands of North Carolina homes.
"So the real effect of the law is not to keep the traditional definition of marriage, you've already done that," Clinton says in the recording. "The real effect of the law will be to hurt families and drive away jobs."
The only recent public opinion polling on the issue, derived from a group that does work for Democratic candidates and causes, indicates that a majority of North Carolina voters support the amendment.
Nationally, according to a new Gallup survey, 50% of Americans believe same-sex couples should be allowed to wed, a markedly different position than in past years, suggesting a growing acceptance of same-sex marriages.
Some 48% say they do not support same-sex weddings.
Sen. Soucek described marriage on Tuesday as a "time-tested building block of society that revolves around procreation."
But three days earlier, Vice President Joe Biden said he was "absolutely comfortable" with the idea of same-sex marriage.
"I just think that the good news is that as more and more Americans come to understand what this is all about, it is a simple proposition: Who do you love? Who do you love? And will you be loyal to the person who love?" Biden said on NBC's "Meet the Press."
Biden did not mention the North Carolina initiative and added that it's the president, not he, who sets the administration's policy.
President Barack Obama has taken the official position that his views on the issue are "evolving."
Thirty states have voted in favor of constitutional amendments that seek to defend traditional definitions of marriage as a hetereosexual union.
"Of states without constitutional amendments on marriage, 45% (9 of 20) eventually recognize same-sex marriage, either by direct judicial decree, by legislative action, or by a ruling requiring that same-sex marriages from other states be treated as valid," a nonprofit political group called the National Organization for Marriage said in a statement. "Among the 30 states with marriage amendments, none have been repealed."
Massachusetts, Connecticut, Iowa, Vermont, New Hampshire, New York and the District of Columbia issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
In February, Washington Gov. Christine Gregoire signed a bill that would legalize same-sex marriage beginning in June. Opponents there have pledged to block the bill and have also called for a referendum.
Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley signed into law a bill that permits same-sex couples to wed in that state as of January 1, 2013.

Your AllowOverride allow too much, check "AddType" ,"AddHandler" documentation, and disable the option that allow overriding those.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_mime.html#addtype You have to turn off "FileInfo" override to disable "AddType" and "AddHandler" directives in .htaccess.

DemocracyNow.org – President Obama's nominee to run the CIA, John Brennan, forcefully defended Obama's counterterrorism policies, including the increase use of armed drones and the targeted killings of American citizens during his confirmation hearing Thursday. "None of the central questions that should have been asked of John Brennan were asked in an effective way," says Jeremy Scahill, author of the forthcoming book "Dirty Wars." "In the cases where people like Sen. Angus King or Sen. Ron Wyden would ask a real question, for instance, about whether or not the CIA has the right to kill U.S. citizens on U.S. soil. The questions were very good — Brennan would then offer up a non-answer. Then there would be almost a no follow-up." Scahill went on to say, "[Brennan has] served for more than four years as the assassination czar, and it basically looked like they're discussing purchasing a used car on Capitol hill. And it was total kabuki oversight. And that's a devastating commentary on where things stand.

Edit: Also, a question for engineers or anyone who knows a high level engineer. I am going for a PvE flamethrower + elixir build. I already have the full 30 points in Firearms for the Juggernaut talent and 25 points in Alchemy for the 15% flamethrower damage and 1% damage per boon bonus. What I'm not entirely sure of is where to put the rest of the points. Is the 30 point backpack regeneration talent in Alchemy worth it? If not, would it be better to put the last 15 all into Explosives for the power boost? Or is power easy enough to make up for with gear that skipping out on a talent and ending 2 trees on a 5-point number is a bad idea? Last edited by RWBladewing; 2012-09-12 at 08:45. |

Did AC story mode last night with 4 people, 3 40's and a 30 and for the most part it was decently challenging, except for the boss battle with 2 lovers. That one was just ridiculous, we ended up just suiciding in from the way point 2 at a time to make sure the boss doesn't reset.
Melee bosses are manageable, even if they have large AoEs. However, damage from caster bosses are ridiculously hard to mitigate, since kiting/cripple etc doesn't work. They hit just as hard (2-3 shot people) and the skills that work on mitigating ranged damage are on much longer cooldowns. Then there's the fact that there's 2 of them. Not going to do explorable mode dungeons until I'm 80 as those tier 3 trait skills are absolutely critical for some of the builds I want to run. |

Explorable mode isn't that hard. It's just the select few that are terribly designed that it's easy for some classes and impossible for other classes. By 'that' i mean waiting to be level 80. They are still harder than story mode and you wanna be 5~10 levels higher than the dungeon. |

AC Story was interesting. Did it with a couple of friends, I think our problem was we approached it with a similar mindset of other MMO dungeons. We were able to complete it without too much trouble (Lovers fight, wtf.. lol) but we did seem to get downed quite a bit. More than what I'd expect to be considered a 'great' run.

Same. I've checked the price of some of my greens on the TP just in case and they are almost never more than a few copper above the vendor price, which is really pointless when the listing fee is considered. I basically vendor anything worth 80 copper or over and salvage the rest (this isn't a strict rule for me but I've found it works pretty well based on the TP prices of the materials I'd likely get from salvaging.) I've been pretty lucky and gotten two Black Lion Salvage Kits from completing daily quests so I'll be good for a while in getting useful sigils off of gear.

You should try using it with the stuff you don't need. Should maybe give a read up on wiki. Haven't gotten around to trying yet as I was just salvaging everything I got but saving a few items to try it out.

Anyways, thanks for the mystic forge link. I've been too busy with pvp and pve on my multiple characters to really look into this stuff. My new lv80 Wellmancer in WvW has been using a level 46 weapon this entire time. I only just yesterday bought an invader lv80 exotic weapon (badges of honor) which does more than twice the damage of what my necro was using before. He's still holding a terribly underleveled OH dagger and staff. I think I'll go make a mystic staff once I get 50 skill points. ---------------------- Someone's been caught on live-streams and screenshots for fly-hacking, teleport hacking and boon-hacking in WvW. What's funny is arena-net responded saying players should use the report feature. A-net doesn't realize they disabled right-click on enemy targets in WvW and there's no way to know their names or report them. FAIL xD |

I take my words back : Sword/Pistol Thief is REALLY powerful. I can kill a Centaur Lieutenant all by myself by running around him and swiping my sword between his legs, dealing 400 damage every 3 blows, 1000+ damage every pistol whip.
I mean, who doesn't want to hit crits at extra 10% damage 50+% of the time?

Well just ended my contract work today, so I am out of job and have some free time to play.
Managed to skew to level 30 by repeatedly killing the Centaur Overlord at Kessex Hills. Total of 2700exp per run, that is the fastest way to level from 24 to 30.

Exp comes so easily in this game from doing such a big variety of things that I feel like grinding events in that manner is unnecessary, but if that's how you like to play, make sure to do Harathi Hinterlands, which has a near-constant train of centaur killing events. I gained an entire level in less than 15 minutes just following the zerg there. Also check out Sparkfly Fen in the early to mid level 60's; the very easy and very rewarding krayt event at the bottom of the map seems to spawn every 15 minutes or so with the bonus of a dragon event with scaled loot every 2.5 to 3 hours. Just don't get mixed in with the bots that are constantly auto-attack spamming in that area.

Only ones I know of are the ones I got on my ele which are from the Winged set.
Should be able to pick up some cheap blue ones off TP for transmuting. Or if your high enough in tailoring, 4th tier I think you can craft some but obviously that's gonna cost alot more if your not at that level yet.

UGH. Tournament 5v5, so we had the plan of rushing the Lord at 400 pts to get to 500 pts instantly. We were at 410 vs 300 lead. Rush for the keep lord but they were more organized and mow'd us down while we were attacking their lord. WE ended up all respawning and trying to go back to normal fight. But that death costed us the game.
Lost by 2 pts in semi finals Q__Q Another one which was finals was a loss by 17 pts. |

"Drugs are bad. Mmm-kay?" — Mr. Mackey, South Park
Traffic is a highly stylized and cautionary tale about the current drug trade from director Steven Soderbergh. It was a 2001 Best Picture Oscar nominee, and walked away with four Oscar wins for Best Director, Best Editing, Best Supporting Actor (Benicio Del Toro), and Best Adapted Screenplay. It contains a sprawling web of plots and a host of characters, led by Benicio Del Toro, Michael Douglas, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Don Cheadle, Dennis Quaid, Luis Guzman, and Topher Grace. The Blu-ray release is the latest in Universal's offerings of "flipper" discs, which contain both the Blu-ray and standard DVD versions of the film on opposite sides of the same disc.
Traffic is another entry in the grouping of films that contain a myriad of plots and characters that lightly connect to form a greater whole. While films such as Babel and Magnolia take that approach in more of an emotional direction, Traffic keeps things reined in by subject matter. Here we are treated to various facets of the drug trade between the United States and Mexico. We see it from various angles, from the Washington drug czar with a drug-addicted daughter, to an unsuspecting housewife who finds out about her dealer husband's business, to the California DEA agents who are on surveillance and witness protection duty, and finally to the Mexican cops who get caught in inter-cartel rivalries. The scenarios feel true-to-life, and are given depth by some truly impressive roles. Benicio Del Toro deserves pretty much any acting award on offer, and Michael Douglas and Don Cheadle turn in, as usual, very impressive performances. Soderbergh handles all of these interconnected stories with excellent pacing and style.
But the main problem with the film is in its very heavy-handed approach to the subject matter. More than just being cautionary, it's preachy. To its credit, it's an authentic and informed concern, but the delivery too often pushes it over into melodrama. The scenes involving the drug-addled teens have all the subtlety of an after-school special, and those centering around the informant under protection are so soaked in current events exposition that it's easy to lose the movie for the statistics exercise. It feels like really sloppy moments in something that could otherwise border on exceptional. But instead we have several tarnished edges to some fine filmmaking.
The video transfer for this release may not be the super-clean version that some might hope for or expect, but what is there feels very true to the various looks of the film itself. Traffic contains a variety of visual styles, depending on the current location of the story. Scenes in Ohio and Washington are very stark and cleanly modern, while those taking place in Mexico are almost hyper-grainy, sepia-soaked, and blown out. The visual contrasts of the film are certainly intentional, and because of that come across as authentically transferred. Because of this, clean detail and contrast – and even film debris – vary depending on the scene you find yourself, but the overall result seems quite good.
Audio is rarely tested to any great extent. With the exception of a couple of gun- and explosion-heavy scenes, this is a dialogue-driven film that rarely taxes the DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 mix. This isn't the fault of what's provided, but just a note that it's really not the type of film with the capacity to take advantage of a souped-up sound system. But what's on offer does a perfectly fine job in the audio department, with the almost ambient musical score being a pleasant highlight.
Bonus Material
Supplemental offerings are small, but largely interesting, and are contained on both the Blu-ray and DVD sides of the disc. "Inside Traffic" (SD, 18:53) is your standard behind-the-scenes feature, and does a commendable job of profiling Soderbergh's directorial style, as well as giving a decent look at the making of the film itself. The "Deleted Scenes" (SD, 26:04) are a breath of fresh air from the stale offerings you normally find with movies, where they feel like they were left on the cutting room floor for pretty good reasons. But here, there are some very interesting scenes and dialogue exchanges that seem like they could have only been removed because the film had already met a self-imposed time cap. These are worthwhile scenes to dig into if you are a fan of the film.
Drugs are indeed bad, and we get a rather detailed lesson to that effect with Traffic. Is it heavy-handed and preachy? Yes, it is. Is it impeccably acted and well directed? Yes, it is that too. With this film you have to take the lumps with the good, so if you can look past several eye-rolling moments, you'll still be rewarded with a very quality film.

Suns Have Obligation to Those who Protect and Serve
Over 50 times last season I stood up, placed my hand over my heart and listened to a different rendition of the national anthem from my seat at US Airways Center and other arenas around the NBA. Regardless of pitch, key or any of the other musical terms I've heard on The Voice or American Idol and since forgotten, each was perfect and special. That's because, each time I heard it, the song reminded me of what happened 12 years ago to our country, how we were taken to our knees, got back up and how sports played a part in the healing.
I'm not going to say that the events of 9-11 put sports into perspective. That explanation is somewhat of a copout. Sports should always be kept in perspective. Even as a 10-year-old I didn't need Charles Barkley to tell me he was "not a role model." He was completely right in his assessment and the medium he chose to express it in, a shoe commercial, made the point quite clear.
The athletes we root for aren't heroes or role models, they're men paid handsomely to play a game we enjoy to watch. True heroes and role models are the brave souls who were first responders 12 years ago, the men and women who tried to stop hijacked planes from reaching their intended targets and those who chose to put their lives on the line to protect our freedoms in the days, weeks, months and years that followed. That doesn't mean sports wasn't and still isn't impactful, though.
In the days and weeks that followed the heinous and cowardly attacks on our country, sports offered an escape for all of us who couldn't get the images of that day to stop playing in our brains. It gave us a slim sense of normalcy we'd lacked for weeks.
For me that moment came when the Suns returned to training camp at the beginning of October that year. As a high school senior, that moment was when my friends and I, who had loved basketball since we were kids, could talk about something other than the heavy reality that the world we were so eager to inherit from our parents had dramatically changed in a way no disaster movies or television dramas could ever have prepared us for.
With each bounce of the ball, and "shazaam" that emanated from Al McCoy's mouth, a comfort returned to life slowly. It was a reminder of the fact that as sports fans, and more specifically Suns fans, we share a common language and bond. Despite race, color, creed and socioeconomic standing, thousands of people come together at sporting events, put aside their differences and enjoyed something together.
That thought has always been powerful to me as I grew up and was lucky enough to work in the sports world. The Suns and every organization in sports can play a special role in the lives of their fans. They can help lift spirits and provide a safe haven from the cruel and harsh outside world.
Whether it's a young fan who lost his father, a kid who is lost in the struggles of growing up or a nation who had just felt one of its most devastating moments, teams and those who work for them have a responsibility to try and lift spirits. Players and employees might not be heroes or role models, but it's our responsibility to never forget the sacrifices those who watch us and cheer for us in the stands and those related to them have made for our freedom.
Every time I hear the national anthem at a game I remember days like today 12 years ago, remember the sacrifices that have been made for our country and the comfort that a simple game can provide no matter when or where it is played. America is the land of the free and the home of the brave and any way sports can help lift the spirits that make that possible, it's our obligation to do it.

AFC budget for Iran's football teams is one million dollar frozen by western countries following the embargos against Iran, but the move made it possible for Iran to use the AFC's financial aid.
The AFC members accepted Iran's request after the Asian Football Confederation President Sheikh Salman bin Ibrahim al-Khalifa discussed Iran's call for lifting the embargo at the general assembly meeting.

üĪ Japan Update Japan UpdatePeace Depot, Japanby support of the Resource Office of the Pacific Campaign for Disarmament and Security (PCDS) April 20002. The Year 2000 Campaign to Revitalize Grassroots Voices to Abolish Nuclear Weapons Attached Documentation: Postal Address: Hiyoshi Gruene
102, 3-3-1, Minowa-cho, Kohoku-ku, Yokohama, 223-0051
Japan The Real Thinking of Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) Discussion with MOFA on Nuclear Disarmament and the NPT Review Conference It is not easy for an author to summarize another's views, especially views which the author finds inherently self-contradictory. The following is an account that is the result of such an attempt by the present authors. We have extracted typical questions and answers from discussions between Japanese citizens and officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) Japan, regarding the Government of Japan's (GOJ) nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation policy. Since the Tokyo Forum for Nuclear Non-Proliferation and Disarmament convened by the GOJ in 1998, discussions have taken place at five NGO meetings attended by guest speakers from the Arms Control and Disarmament Division of MOFA. Where necessary, comments by the authors follow the Q and A. Q1. Why did the Government of Japan (GOJ) abstain from voting on the New Agenda Resolution in the UN General Assembly? A1. There are two reasons. One is that Japan, though it shares the goal of a nuclear-weapon-free world, takes a different approach from the New Agenda Coalition (NAC) countries. We need to have the cooperation of the nuclear weapon states and it is not necessarily constructive to take a confrontational attitude vis-a-vis these states. The last resolution, though improved, still betrays a degree of skepticism towards the commitment of the nuclear weapon states. The other reason is that Japan, as a country that relies on the U.S. nuclear deterrent for its national security, cannot support proposed intermediate measures, such as no-first-use, which might reduce the effectiveness of that deterrent. Q2. We cannot understand why Japan, the only country which has been devastated by the Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and witnessed the Hibakusha's tragic deaths and damaged lives, relies on nuclear weapons for national security. You are, in effect, creating more Hibakusha. A2. The government fully understands the terrible experiences and the inhumane nature of the A and H bombs; however, the international security circumstances surrounding Japan are quite severe. The GOJ embraces the ideal and goal of nuclear abolition, but at the same time, in practice, it cannot help but rely upon security policies which include nuclear deterrence. We sincerely invite citizens to understand the practical challenges we face in the real world of international relations. (Authors' comments) We don't believe the GOJ's claim that it "fully understands the terrible experiences and the inhumane nature of A and H bombs." Full understanding of the "inhumane nature of A and H bombs" should naturally lead to an analysis of the legality of nuclear weapons based upon international law. One of the fundamental principles of the foreign policy of the GOJ is respect for the UN system. But, the GOJ has never respected the Advisory Opinion of the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the UN's paramount legal body. In addition, it is not at all clear what accounts for the perceived severity in the international security circumstances surrounding Japan. If any security consideration really matters regarding nuclear weapons, why didn't Japan move to substantially lessen the role of nuclear weapons in its security policy at the end of the Cold War when the claimed threat of the former Soviet Union and China had been drastically reduced? We have never seen any Japanese initiatives in this direction. Q3. What is the difference between Japan and the NAC countries regarding international security circumstances? A3. Japan has been located at the front line of the Cold War, with Russia and China nearby. It can be said that the situation is much more severe than that of NAC countries such as New Zealand or Sweden. Q4. You cannot condemn India and Pakistan for developing nuclear weapons, while at the same time insisting on the necessity of nuclear weapons for Japan's national security. A4. India and Pakistan should be condemned for not participating in the NPT regime, which is crucial for international peace and security. Without the NPT regime, the number of nuclear weapon states would increase dramatically. If the number increases, it would be more difficult for the current five Nuclear Weapon States (NWSs) to reduce their nuclear arsenals. This outcome would be contrary to international peace and security. If the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea (DPRK), for instance, should have nuclear weapons upon the collapse of the NPT regime, Japan might have to consider possessing its own nuclear weapons for national security purposes. (Authors' comments) The stated policy of Japan regarding India and Pakistan is to call upon them to accede to the NPT as Non-Nuclear Weapon States. Therefore, the logical consequence of Japan's policy is that it urges India and Pakistan to come under nuclear umbrellas of any of the five NWSs, just as Japan does. It then follows that a growing number of states would rely upon other states' nuclear weapons. This means that the role of nuclear weapons would grow as more targets become necessary to defend allies. The GOJ should realize that the desire for nuclear weapon possession itself and the demand for nuclear umbrellas have similarly destructive effects on nuclear disarmament. Q5. Can Japan demand that the United States reduce its nuclear arsenal while at the same time requesting U.S. nuclear deterrence against alleged biological or chemical weapons of the DPRK? A5. Japan can request the U.S. and the other NWSs to reduce their nuclear arsenals by an amount that does not affect U.S. nuclear deterrence upon which Japan relies. (Authors' comments) The GOJ says that the acceleration of the START process is one of its priorities for nuclear disarmament. However, if Japan adheres to a first-use option against DPRK, this means, by implication, that it is asking the U.S. to maintain many nuclear targets. It then follows that Japan has to support the claim by the U.S. that it cannot reduce its arsenal if it is to remain able to respond the request of Japan as well as those of other allies. Therefore, the GOJ's nuclear weapons policy is self-contradictory. Q6. Do you believe that the U.S. really uses nuclear weapons to protect Japan even though there is no doubt that the U.S. would be retaliated against by nuclear weapons? A6. It is difficult to answer this question. While we understand that the international norm restricts the level of counter-attack because its intensity has to be proportionate to the intensity of the original attack, the option of nuclear weapons is still included within the framework of Japan-U.S. military cooperation. (Authors' comments) We don't think that U.S. citizens will support the use of nuclear weapons for Japan's sake when it is obvious that the U.S. will be retaliated against by nuclear weapons. Q7. Why don't you propose a Northeast Asia Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zone (NWFZ) as an alternative security arrangement? A7. The GOJ generally supports the creation and expansion of NWFZs. However, as for Northeast Asia, the international security circumstances are so severe that it is premature to consider such a NWFZ in this region. (Authors' comments) The very initiation of a proposal to establish a NWFZ could contribute to the easing of tensions in this region. The GOJ appears to need regional tension in order to rationalize its development of Theater Missile Defense (TMD) and the advancement of other military capabilities. Q8. Please explain the GOJ's position towards the upcoming NPT Review Conference. A8. It is crucial that a document tentatively named, "Additional Objectives," which is built upon the Principles and Objectives (P&O) of 1995, be adopted by consensus at the Conference. The Additional Objectives is not to replace the P&O of 1995. There was some misunderstanding on the wording of "Updated Objectives" which was included in the Japanese resolution at the UNGA last year. Many countries abstained from that paragraph of the resolution because they thought that Japan didn't think much of the implementation of the P&O. We can say that the conference would be successful if the Additional Objectives are adopted. If not, international trust in the NPT regime would be severely weakened. Japan is now carefully consulting with other countries on the wording of the Additional Objectives, but the contents will be as follows: 1. Promotion of the
ratification process and early entry into force of the
CTBT. (Authors' comments) This is a continuation of the conservative "wish list" of Japan. There is no strong statement nor proposal to call upon the NWSs to fulfill their NPT Article 6 obligation. We welcome the GOJ's constant efforts to promote the entry-into-force of the CTBT and to facilitate the establishment of a Central Asia NWFZ. Q9. The Additional Objectives should be discussed based on the serious review of record of the past five years. Without reviewing the record carefully, the adoption of a new document will result in a mere repetition of failures of the past five years. A9. It is important to review the past, but we have to avoid a breakdown of the conference because of differences in the various evaluations of the past. Q10. How will the recommendations of the Tokyo Forum Report be incorporated into the NPT Review Conference? A10. The 1999 Japanese UNGA resolution incorporates the recommendations of the Tokyo Forum. The Additional Objectives will also adopt those elements. (Authors' comments) The UNGA Japanese resolution failed to incorporate the key recommendations of the Tokyo Forum such as the reduction of U.S. and Russian strategic nuclear warheads down to 1,000 each, establishment of a permanent secretariat of the NPT, and restriction on the role of nuclear weapons to only the core function of deterring others' nuclear weapons. Q11. How has Japan made efforts to advance U.S. nuclear disarmament policy before the NPT Review Conference? A11. On March 8, Japan and the U.S. established the U.S.-Japan Commission on Arms Control, Disarmament, Non-Proliferation and Verification. In high-level discussion in the Commission, Japan honestly expressed its negative evaluation of the past five years' progress on nuclear disarmament. The U.S. said it shared the evaluation and agreed that the NPT RC was very crucial. There was various discussion on the Additional Objectives. Q12. How does Japan work at CD? A12. Negotiation of the FMCT is the priority. If the negotiation does not progress because of conflict over existing stockpiles, we need to restrict the scope of the treaty only to future production. China is not going to join the FMCT negotiations, insisting that the Ad Hoc Committee on PAROS (Prevention of Arms Race in Outer Space) should be established at the same time. NAM is insisting on an Ad Hoc Committee on Nuclear Disarmament. It is regrettable that those countries do not show a sincere commitment to join the FMCT negotiation. As for nuclear disarmament, Japan is ready to accept the establishment of a working group on nuclear disarmament such as that proposed by five NATO countries. (Authors' comments) The position of the GOJ is very unbalanced. The GOJ claims the FMCT is the priority. But the GOJ explains that China and NAM don't think it is the only priority, and thta they have other priorities: Nuclear Disarmament Committee and PAROS Committee, Just as the GOJ criticizes "those countries do not show a sincere commitment to join the FMCT negotiation," they would say "Japan does not show a sincere commitment to set-up nuclear disarmament committee and PAROS committee." We believe that the GOJ should develop proposals to advance these priorities in parallel. One logical approach is to place the FMCT as a priority theme of the established Ad Hoc Committee on Nuclear Disarmament. As long as the GOJ continues to stick to the line in which the FMCT will serve only to non-proliferation rather than to disarmament, the GOJ will continue to be regarded as a dummy of the United States.

Activities 1. To maintain a web-site
to publicize abolition activities of various
organizations and groups all around Japan, including
those of traditional national organizations and local
citizen groups. Abolition Week in Japan February 26, Kawasaki City: A Public Meeting to celebrate the annual general assembly of the Peace Depot included a special speech by Rebecca Johnson on the NPT Review Conference. A summary of the talk has been printed and circulated by the Peace Depot as an educational resource for activists and journalists. March 3, Tokyo: Women's groups organized a forum to hear Angie Zelter, a successful defendant in one of the Trident Plowshare court cases in Scotland, and to discuss ways to abolish nuclear weapons. The title of the forum was, "We Can Abolish Nuclear Weapons!" March 4, Tokyo: An all-day event took place in Tokyo entitled, "Our Abolition Day! Symposium on Northeast Asia Nuclear Weapon-Free Zone." In the morning Angie Zelter spoke about her non-violent direct action. In the afternoon there was a symposium to discuss approaches to establishing a Northeast Asia NWFZ, with panelists Hiro UMEBAYASHI (the Peace Depot), KIM Hong-Soo (Co-President, Union of Korean Youth in Japan), KIM Ji-Yong (Reporter, Choson-Shimbosa, A Japanese Newspaper Related to DPR of Korea), Mari KUSHIBUCHI (Co-Chair, the Peace Boat), and Masao KUNIHIRO (Former Senator), with the guest participation of Angie Zelter. March 5, Tokyo: The code-named "Sunflower Operation -- A Street Performance" took place on the street during No-Car-Sundays, Shinjuku, Tokyo. Young anti-nuke people, called Nuclear Abolition Beni-Tengu, made a Sunflower objet d'art and had a live music performance. The sunflower is known as the symbol of the global network of Abolition 2000. March 11, Nagasaki: A symposium was organized in Nagasaki as the first pre-event of the Global Citizen's Assembly in Nagasaki for the Abolition of Nuclear Weapons, which is reported about in the previous section of this Update. Robert Green (Middle Powers Initiative), Kate Dewes (Disarmament & Security Center), and Angie Zelter (Trident Plowshare) were invited to the Assembly as panelists. Japanese panelists were Hideo TSUCHIYAMA (Former President, Nagasaki University) and Masao TOMONAGA (Professor, Nagasaki University). In addition to these activities which were specific to Global Abolition Week, many other actions took place to commemorate Bikini Day during the time period from February 29 to March 3 in Shizuoka and Tokyo. They were sponsored by Gensuikyo, Gensuikin, the Japanese Consumers' Cooperative Union and others. Also meetings related to Angie Zelter's speaking tour were held in many places other than those cited above, including Sapporo, Hakodate, Osaka, Saga, Hiroshima and Okinawa during the time period from March 3 to 15. Co-chairs
and Campaign Office Campaign Office: üŻTOP The 2000 People's Appeal We have now entered the last year of the 20th Century. It appears that humankind will carry into the 21st Century the same follies that it devised in the 20th Century. Nuclear weapons, which can incinerate hundreds of thousands of citizens in an instant, remain at the core of international politics. Over 30,000 nuclear warheads exist on this planet, with a significant number on hair-trigger alert. While the overwhelming majority of citizens, including those who live in nuclear weapons states, want a nuclear weapon-free world, the political process to bring this about has been ponderous and slow, with few substantial gains. We believe that the Japanese people bear a special responsibility for this situation. We have listened closely to the hibakushas of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in their plea that, "Nuclear weapons should never be used!," as they speak about the hellish scenes branded on their eyes after the blast. For over a half century we have lived in a society that is dominated by fears that the physical and social after-effects of the atomic bombing can continue for generations. Do we as Japanese citizens not have a responsibility to use these experiences for the benefit of the future of the earth and of humanity? Contrary to what we often hear, it is not true that there is no hope. Some middle-power governments stood together and took bold action in June, 1998. These governments, called the New Agenda Coalition, declared: "We, on our part, will spare no efforts" towards the abolition of nuclear weapons. Non-governmental groups (NGOs) around the world are encouraging these governments, and movements in which governments and NGOs cooperate are gaining strength. In addition, a model nuclear weapons convention, which NGOs drafted, has become an official UN document and has been circulated among governments. Unfortunately, the Japanese government refused to join the New Agenda Coalition when it was invited to do so. The Japanese government continues to embrace nuclear deterrence doctrine and is obsessed with the idea of defending Japan with nuclear weapons. Is the Japanese anti-nuclear sentiment, which must be stronger than that of any other peoples in the world, powerless? Does Japanese democracy not work? It is acknowledged that the Japanese anti-nuclear movement has sometimes created impediments within itself to achieving its goals over the past five decades. However, isn't it high time for us to call into being an overarching human ethos and create opportunities for Japanese citizens to once again speak to this critical issue in their own words? At the dawn of a new century and a new millennium, we call upon the people of Japan to speak vigorously for nuclear abolition with a renewed purpose that goes beyond the differences often created by 'isms' and beliefs. The first thing that we need to do is to change our own government's nuclear weapons policy. Toward this end, we have the following challenges: 1. To create a non-nuclear law in Japan In addition to turning the three non-nuclear principles into a law, a security policy is needed in which Japan will not rely on nuclear weapons and come out from beneath the US nuclear umbrella. In addition, the current plutonium policy of Japan needs to be reviewed as it raises concerns about nuclear-proliferation. 2. To establish a nuclear weapon-free zone in Northeast Asia The establishment of a nuclear weapon-free zone in Northeast Asia will be a significant step towards easing tension and building confidence in this region. 3. To activate nuclear free-local authorities It is time for the more than 2,300 local authorities that have declared themselves to be nuclear-free to take action. Citizens must take steps to activate them. 4. To make the Government of Japan a leader in promoting nuclear disarmament in its international relations Citizens in Japan need to urge the Government of Japan to play an active role in promoting nuclear disarmament in international diplomacy in cooperation with like-minded nations such as the New Agenda Coalition states. We make an appeal to all the fellow citizens. Let us build an immense wave of support and activity for nuclear abolition in the year 2000, and inform the world what we have done. Please begin where you are. Each of your actions, as tiny as it may be, will make a change. Each of us, too, signs this '2000 People's Appeal' as one of those who commit to undertake such actions. Some Names of Signatories to the 2000 Peoples' Appeal of International Interests Campaign Organizers: Others: üŻTOP Nagasaki Must Be the Last Bombed! A
Call for an International NGO Conference in Nagasaki to A fortunate convergence of two motivating forces for peace occurred in Nagasaki City where the second atomic bomb was dropped on August 9, 1945. First, the Mayor of Nagasaki, who attended the Hague Appeal for Peace Conference in May 1999 to witness the empowering NGO activities for peace, has come to believe that it will be the concerted work of NGOs that will vigorously advance the cause of nuclear abolition. Subsequently, in his Peace Declaration on August 9, 1999, he emphasized the importance of NGO roles in future efforts for nuclear disarmament, and then he expressed his willingness to host a major international NGO assembly in Nagasaki in the year 2000 to demand nuclear abolition. Second, long-term efforts by the Nagasaki Peace Institute, a citizen-based institute, to maintain a neutral relationship with various local citizen groups have made it possible to unite these groups for nuclear abolition conferences. A two-year test run of a non-partisan committee in Nagasaki to intervene in the Tokyo Forum for Nuclear Non-Proliferation and Disarmament process ended successfully last year in cooperation with independent national NGOs, including the Peace Depot. This committee has now become "The Year 2000 Nagasaki Citizens' Council for Nuclear Weapons Abolition." It is a truly history-making coalition of the broadest range of Nagasaki citizen groups as it transcends the differences of 'isms' and beliefs. The primary objective of this coalition is to bring the Mayor's idea of international NGO Assembly for nuclear abolition into reality. Objective of
the Assembly Programs
Each workshop is being organized by at least two convenors, one from overseas and one from Japan. In addition to the above workshops, the Organizing Committee intends to provide rooms for independent programs related to nuclear disarmament and encourages NGOs to bring their own plans. Organizing
Committee Launched Toward a
Nation-Wide Event
üŻTOP Resolution towards NPT Review Conference The Japanese Parliamentary Association for the Promotion of International Disarmament (JPAPID) April 13, 2000 1. The Japanese Parliamentary Association for the Promotion of International Disarmament (JPAPID) recognizes the need for preserving and further strengthening the NPT regime which has greatly contributed to international peace and security. It is regrettable that no significant progress has been made towards nuclear disarmament since the Treaty was indefinitely extended at the NPT Review and Extension Conference in 1995. 2. The success of the 2000 NPT Review Conference is crucial in maintaining and enhancing the credibility of the nuclear non-proliferation regime. The failure of the Conference would only benefit those countries which have a hidden agenda against that regime. JPAPID calls upon all participating countries to contribute to the Conference in a cooperative manner. 3. The Conference should provide us with the prospect of the ultimate elimination of nuclear weapons. And such a prospect is possible if participants renew their commitment to the early entry-into-force of the CTBT and the early conclusion of the Cut-Off Treaty within a fixed time frame. JPAPID calls upon the Japanese government to play an active, coordinating role in securing an agreement on further milestones towards nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation and on the concrete progress to be made on these issues. 4. It is the hope of
JPAPID that the success of the Conference will contribute
to greater progress in the area of global nuclear
disarmament and non-proliferation. Editor's Note: JPAPID
is a supra-partisan association which consists of 113
Diet Members at present. This resolution is very close to
the government's position and weak for disarmament.

Elaborate trim attached to a wood fence calls to mind European styling. Castle or church doors perhaps?

Four days after the 9/11 attacks, Balbir Singh Sodhi was gunned down at his Phoenix area gas station by a man named Frank Roque. To Roque, Balbir Sodhi's beard and turban — articles of his Sikh faith — falsely evoked the face of America's new enemy. Seeking retaliation for 9/11, Roque killed Sodhi and went on to shoot at a Lebanese American man and fire multiple rounds of ammunition outside an Afghan American family's home.
A Dream in Doubt follows Rana Singh Sodhi, Balbir's brother, as he attempts to fight the hate that threatens his family and community. The Sodhis had fled ethnic violence in India to pursue their version of the American dream. But less than a year after Balbir's murder, Sukhpal Sodhi, Rana's next-eldest brother, is killed in mysterious circumstances while driving a cab in San Francisco. More ethnic assaults follow. Few receive significant coverage in the U.S. media, and a national dialogue concerning post-9/11 hate crimes and ethnic profiling fails to materialize.
Seeking justice for his brothers' murders, Rana is motivated into action. He demands that America live up to its ideals of freedom, equality, and justice for all. In A Dream in Doubt, he challenges his fellow citizens to think deeply about individual responsibility in the face of bigotry and what it means to be a true patriot.

Paronychia is a skin infection that occurs around the nails.
Infection - skin around the nail
Paronychia is common. It is from injury to the area, such as biting off or picking a hangnail or from trimming or pushing back the cuticle.
The infection is caused by:
A bacterial and fungal infection can occur at the same time.
Fungal paronychia may occur in people who:
Main symptom is a painful, red, swollen area around the nail, often at the cuticle or at the site of a hangnail or other injury. There may be pus-filled blisters, especially with a bacterial infection.
Bacteria causes the condition to come on suddenly. If all or part of the infection is due to a fungus, it tends to occur more slowly.
Nail changes may occur. For example, the nail may look detached, abnormally shaped, or have an unusual color.
If the infection spreads to the rest of the body, symptoms may include:
The health care provider can usually diagnose this condition by simply looking at the sore skin.
Pus or fluid may be drained and sent to a laboratory to determine what type of bacteria or fungus is causing the infection.
If you have bacterial paronychia, soaking your nail in hot water 2 or 3 times a day helps reduce swelling and pain.
Your provider may prescribe oral antibiotics. In severe cases, your provider may cut and drain the sore with a sharp instrument. Part of the nail may need to be removed.
If you have fungal paronychia, your provider may prescribe antifungal medicine. Keep your hands dry and apply a skin-drying substance, such as Castellani paint (phenol).
Paronychia usually responds well to treatment. But, fungal infections may last for several months.
Complications are rare, but may include:
Call your health care provider if:

How Cascade schools engage students to help businesses
Some intriguing innovations are happening in North Central Washington schools that deserve our attention and support. A growing number of schools are taking the initiative to reinvent education by finding creative ways to make learning personal and relevant to students and at the same time tap into the wisdom and expertise of the community.
This is the kind of home-grown innovation that holds great promise for success — far surpassing the micromanagement of the state Legislature or other top-down efforts that all too often fall flat and fail to achieve meaningful results. It's about taking the initiative locally by creating a new future rather than sitting back and being a victim of circumstances beyond our control.
A perfect case in point is the Cascade School District, which will be allowing students to organize themselves into teams to help local businesses solve a pressing business challenge during the week of Nov. 11. That will coincide with a one-day strategy workshop that will involve the community, the staff and students to envision Cascade High School of the future.
Cascade School Superintendent Steve McKenna could hardly contain his excitement when we spoke about the student consulting projects with local businesses. He sees the potential for this project to engage students in meaningful work and be a step in the process of developing an approach to education that better serves kids.
To test the approach, the district did a trial run last summer, in which a group of students from the Future Business Leaders of America club at Cascade High School did a consulting project for Chelan County Public Utility District. Communications Manager Suzanne Hartman presented the student team with the challenge of how the district can better connect with customers more effectively.
In the space of one day, the students identified the issues, worked together to come up with creative ideas, and used various art supplies to present their ideas. They also produced a video of the project, which is now on the wenatcheeworld.com web site. "They jumped right into the assignment and by the end of the day had come up with some great suggestions," according to Hartman.
Here's a comment from a student that shows the value of this kind of experiential learning. "There were moments I thought I was going to lose my mind, ut my team and I somehow found a way to compromise every time we came across an issue or disagreement," wrote Kyla Parkins. "It was definitely a challenge, but all learning opportunities are," she added.
Working through the challenges of team dynamics on a real-life problem is an excellent way of making education relevant when paired with the opportunity to make a difference on a real-life challenge. That team of FBLA leaders is taking a leading role in the project that will involve the entire Cascade High School in November. They're using networking skills to connect with businesses in the community and elsewhere in North Central Washington that would like to be a part of the school-wide effort. That will include presenting a business challenge and letting the students create solutions.
Innovative learning projects are happening all over the region in districts of all sizes. The Wenatchee Learns project led to a vision of education that is personal and community engaged. Manson has done a similar project and is creating its own version of education that works for kids. Supporting these efforts has been the North Central Educational Service District, where Superintendent Rich McBride has been championing home-grown innovation rather than the top-down approaches that fail to engage students. The ESD's efforts can be tracked at http://iamnewschool.org.
The Wenatchee World is going to support this effort by bringing a challenge to the Cascade Learns effort in November. Other businesses should volunteer to support this effort by letting students help them find creative solutions. Sign up on the Cascade Learns web site (cascadelearns.org). You can watch the student-produced video there or log onto wenatcheeworld.com and click on videos.

Christmas Tree Care
1. When you receive your tree, create a new cut 1-1.5" above the base of the trunk. This step is key, as sap buildup from the old cut will prevent water intake.
2. Immediately place the tree in a bucket or stand filled with water to preserve needle retention. Keep the final cut of the trunk submerged in water at all times to prevent sap from sealing. A general rule for watering is: add 1 quart of water per inch of trunk diameter each day.
3. Do not place your tree near drafts or excessive heat, which can cause early needle drop. Use proper lighting and decorations to reduce fire risk. A room humidifier can also help to keep the tree fresher longer.

Amelia Earhart Back in Court
CASPER, Wyo. (AP) — The search for Amelia Earhart's missing airplane could land in front of a federal jury.
A federal judge in Wyoming heard arguments Thursday in a lawsuit filed by a man who says he was defrauded of $1 million by organizers of a search for Earhart's airplane, which disappeared in 1937.
Tim Mellon says the Pennsylvania-based International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery and its executive director actually found Earhart's plane in 2010. Mellon argues the group kept the discovery secret so it could keep seeking money from him.
The group says there's no proof it found Earhart's plane.
Lawyers argued in Casper whether the lawsuit should be dismissed or whether a jury should decide if Earhart's plane has been found.
U.S. District Judge Scott Skavdahl will issue a ruling later.

3 Large Coat Buttons of Celluloid or ?
Click thumbnails for expanded view.
- $19.99
- Item Not Available
3 very large coat buttons that are of a vintage plastic which I think is celluloid. There is a smaller button disc underneath with that the large decorative button is attached. The center is a cut away fiddle shape with a bi-conical shape in the center. This a filigree type band across the centers to the bi-cone.
The color is a shimmery swampy muddy greenish goldish brown on the outer part. The bi-cone are more of a gray. I would say they are earthy in color but deco in design. The diameter is 2 1/4".
The condition is great.

This is my 68 Sprint Coupe 289, wimbeldon white with Red interior and red c stripe. It has a rebuilt c code, FBB radiator, Ford script duals for a 68 GT350, needs c4 rebuilt, needs new AC, about to do a granada front disc swap and have about 70% of the parts I need to finish. Also does anyone know of a mild cam that will give a loping idle and still be street able with Auto and AC? Video of the car running 238e79fc.mp4 video by SS07_RKC - Photobucket Let me know what you think.
Looks like your off to a Good Start! The Discs will be a Great improvment, but there are many other options than Granada. Be thorough when doing your homework, and checkout CSRP, and others who specialize in this area...... Here's something.... CSRP discbrakeswap Mustang Disc Brake Conversion Kits SWAP3 Good luck with your project!
Good Link Only thing is I'm really working on a tight budget, I found everything I need for Granada from discs minus the proportional valve and MC for 300 all of which is brand new obsolete Ford parts. Probably begin the brake swap sometime next week, trans comes out tomorrow, already removed dash and all the glass, not much left on the car at this point.
I chose the CompCams XE262 for my 333, it is just under .500 lift and is the tallest cam in this line that will still put out enough vacuum for my PB & AC (15-17) from what I read. You can download their free camquest program and plug in different variables to see what profile it suggests. I considered the XE268 but heard it in a friends car and it was too lopey for me and his vacuum was ~13 but he didn't have PB or AC. Jon
Good stuff I might buy that swap #3 with manual discs. For how much more I have to spend to get ball joints, MC and Booster I'd be near the cost of that kit.
Just an update, almost finished with the tear down of the car, dash is out, hood is off, trans will be coming out soon along with the motor. Then time to repaint all the black. All the factory suspension is new but I'd like to find some GT front coils any suggestions?
Glass is off the car, dash is out, Motor and trans come out this Sunday, going to let bunch of auto tech students rebuild the the Trans. It will be much much much cheaper and I'm not in any hurry to get the trans back. We know the auto tech teacher very ll and he does good work so I'm confident it will be a good rebuild. I'll post more pics soon im almost ready to start putting it all back together now.

Kapazitätsauslastung im Ausland als Indikator für die deutschen Investitionsgüterexporte
The German export industry has traditionally specialised in the supply of capital goods. For this reason, forecasting the exports of capital goods is not only useful for fi rms operating in this sector but also for forecasting total German exports. An important determinant of the demand for capital goods from a theoretical point of view is capacity utilisation. We present an indicator of capacity utilisation in countries that import German goods and show its usefulness for forecasting German capital goods exports. Thus, this indicator is a valuable complement to the set of indicators available for forecasting German exports. Copyright ZBW and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2012
