My first political corruption trial was a lesson in crooks, kickbacks and double-dealing in Las Vegas.
I was a reporter, not a defendant.
The defendant was Eathel "Tex" Gates, a handsome 52-year-old cowboy with silver hair distinguishing his temples.
The attorneys were among the city's best, federal prosecutor Larry Leavitt and defense attorney John Fadgen.
The crime involved what seemed like a lot of money in 1979 — more than $147,000 in kickbacks.
And prosecutors suspected, but never proved, that some of that money may have ended up in Sheriff Ralph Lamb's pockets, which Lamb denied Wednesday.
Peripheral characters included Harry Claiborne, a federal judge later imprisoned for tax evasion, and there were ties to Al Bramlet, a Culinary leader who before he was murdered, first suggested a $500 payoff to keep Gates happy.
This trial was old Vegas, where the main witnesses had immunity for their bad deeds and seemed more crooked and sleazy than Gates.
Gates was the director of the Clark County Business License Bureau, a job he held from 1967 to 1978. It was an appointed job, and the man with the power to appoint was Lamb because the license bureau was under the sheriff's jurisdiction then. Gates held enormous power deciding who received a business license and who did not.
When I saw his obituary in Tuesday's Las Vegas Review-Journal, the name "Tex Gates" jumped from the page into my memories of 34 years ago.
Gates had died in tiny Rye, Ark., on June 23 at age 86.
His 10-day trial showed the underbelly of Las Vegas, the bribes offered (and accepted) for the right to do lucrative legitimate business in this city by selling show tickets and arranging time-share presentations from booths that had to be licensed.
Gates received as little as a quarter per show ticket up to $1 for a couple willing to sit through time-share pitches. But those small amounts added up between 1975 and 1978.
Gates was convicted of 62 counts of extortion, one count of obstruction of justice and one count of perjury for lying to the grand jury. The jury would have convicted him of another 18 other counts of extortion and three counts of income tax evasion, but there was a holdout who didn't believe one witness was telling the truth when he testified he paid $9,800 in cash to Gates.
That witness, Ray Warren, had partnered with Culinary union boss Bramlet in a company that sold show tickets.
Defense attorney Fadgen argued Warren was taking the supposed bribes to Gates and pocketing them himself as a way to steal from Bramlet. Several jurors found it reasonable that Warren, a failed Assembly candidate, would cheat the powerful union boss.
Gates took the stand and accused nine of the government's witnesses of lying.
The main witness, David Bliss, had paid his $137,000 by check and marked the checks with Gates' initials.
Bliss testified during the trial that he gave kickbacks to Gates "because he was a dear friend and I felt if I gave him this money I wouldn't have problems businesswise."
Gates testified the checks were gifts but he did nothing for those gifts. He declared the Bliss money as income on his taxes, but not the Warren-Bramlet money. Over the years, he asked Bliss to write the checks to different names, not his.
The presiding judge was Claiborne, who later had his own run-in with federal prosecutors over his tax returns, leading to his impeachment.
But when Claiborne sentenced Gates to eight years in prison, later reducing that to five years, his harshest words were for Bliss.
"Bliss is the greater culprit of the two, as far I'm concerned," the judge said.
Claiborne attacked the businesspeople who offered bribes to public officials and said their guilt was "much greater than the public official who finally gives way and whose resistance is low."
Gates entered prison in June 1980 and was paroled November 1982.
Naturally, none of this was in the obituary submitted by the family, nor even that Gates was the business license director for Clark County. There was no mention of his trial, or his prison time. Family members are not going to mention the parts they would rather forget.
The obituary said Gates grew up in Texas and moved to Las Vegas in the 1950s. During his early Las Vegas days, he operated a dude ranch known as Twin Lakes Stables, provided horses to the movie industry and served on the Clark County sheriff's posse.
"He loved to cater to his friends with early morning horseback breakfast rides, which included Roy Rogers and Liberace," the obituary said.
Among his other accomplishments, he made television commercials for cigarettes and Ford Mustangs. He was a U.S. Army veteran and served during World War II in the U.S. merchant marine in the Pacific.
After 40 years in Las Vegas, when he was released from prison, he began a new life with his wife, Susie, in Arkansas, starting the T&S Ranch and serving on boards and associations having to do with farming and cattle ranching in Cleveland County.
Before he left, he was subpoenaed to testify before a federal grand jury investigating Sheriff Lamb. Whatever he said never resulted in any indictment against the sheriff.
The sheriff, the hero in the canceled TV show "Vegas," said he didn't know Gates was taking kickbacks, or he would have done something about it.
"I warned him about these guys being bad guys; I thought that would shut him down. I said: 'Tex, don't lie to me, tell me the truth,' " Lamb said in his slow, easy drawl.
The Gates investigation and the effort to link Lamb to the kickbacks were reasons Lamb lost his election in 1978 after 18 years in office. That, and some other things.
Tex Gates' saga of corruption never made it into "Vegas."
I was to learn that public corruption trials here were not a rarity and that some officials sold themselves out cheap while others demanded big bucks and "favors."

ISBN13: 9780812972153 ISBN10: 0812972155 All Product Details
What made you delve into the subject of video games?
As a writer, there's nothing quite like exploring an uncharted world. And the world of gamers–despite its cultural, economic, and artistic impact–is still a mystery to most people. That's why I wrote MASTERS OF DOOM. I grew up reading all the New Journalism books and I saw an opportunity to do for gamers what Tom Wolfe did for astronauts–recreate their definitive story and make them human.
What do video games say about American culture?
You have to be careful not to overanalyze video games because, ultimately, they're just about having fun. But, on another level, they do say a lot about Americans desires and dreams: dreams of power, escape, fantasy, and violence. What makes this unique from any other medium is the interactivity. Games let players try on different roles–wizards, warriors, athletes, and hip-hop stars. This is one reason why Americans spend roughly $11 billion annually on computer and video games, which is more than they spend on movie tickets.
The two Johns have been called "the Lennon and McCartney of video games." Why is that?
Every medium has its rock stars. For video games, which are still a relatively new art form, they're Carmack and Romero. Along with their exceptionally talented colleagues, they innovated games that still impact business, technology, and pop culture. They're also completely self-made, rising from their basements to rule a multibillion dollar business. And, like any good rock stars, they're controversial.
In many ways, MASTERS OF DOOM is a classic business parable. Do you agree with this assessment?
Sure, I think Johns' success story is important to anyone in business. These guys never took no for an answer. And they always thought outside of the box–so much so that, at one point, a journalist said they made Microsoft look like a cement company. Even if you don't care about or play video games, you've got to admire their passion and dedication. That's one reason I wrote this book as a reconstruction of the past. I wanted readers to feel like they were right there with them, riding that incredible ride and smashing through the obstacles along the way.
Video games are a multi-billion dollar a year industry, but they appear to be underneath a lot of people's radar. Why do you think that is?
It's easy to forget this business is still so young. Though it's been a multibillion dollar industry for years, it's just now gaining mainstream recognition. One reason I wrote this book was because people still had all the wrong ideas: mainly, that games are the domain of teenage boys. In fact, the most popular computer game on the planet is probably Solitaire–and the players are parents and grandparents. While he was governor of Texas, George W. Bush admitted to playing computer Solitaire almost every day. Now that the Pong generation is coming into power, the industry won't be underneath the radar much longer.
Violence in videogames often comes under a lot of scrutiny in the media. How did the two Johns answer these criticisms? How would you answer these critics?
For various reasons, the Johns didn't speak much to the press after the Columbine tragedy, when certain people were suggesting that Doom inspired the killers. I'm glad they had a chance to finally tell their side of the story in my book. Both of them felt that their games were being unduly blamed for a terrible crime that defies an easy explanation. I agree. The reason people keep criticizing games is because they don't understand them or, for that matter, play them. When I showed Doom to my mother-in-law for the first time, she said, "I can't believe that everyone's making such a fuss over this." Also, a lot of people don't realize that the gamers playing–and making–the more violent titles are adults. And for those who are concerned about kids' exposure to violent content, all they have to do is pick up a game and look at the rating on the box before buying it for their children. Even Senator Lieberman, one of the industry's harshest critics, has lauded game publishers for voluntarily rating their products.
What's next for Romero and Carmack?
Romero has returned to his roots, programming games with a small team. He's designing games for a new platform–cell phones and handheld devices–just as he pursued the new medium of PC games over a decade ago.
Carmack and the guys at id Software are getting ready to release Doom III, the first new Doom game in nearly a decade. It's already been voted game of the year by the industry, and it hasn't even come out yet. He's also building a rocket which he hopes to launch into outer space. Knowing him, he's got a decent shot.
What's next for David Kushner?
Another book. But first, lunch.
From the Hardcover edition.

It's still snowing in shakopee, and it's not supposed to stop until 6am!
It's now mostly stopped snowing, at least in my corner of Minneapolis. Depending on where you measure, somewhere between 14 and 20 inches of snow fell here today. And it's still blowing around.
So, naturally, this was a perfect day to travel by bicycle.
After all, our estimated 4,000 winter bike commuters are the reason Bicycle magazine named Minneapolis the #1 bike city in America. Cheers to you, winter cyclists. That said, I hope most of you weren't out in this mess today.

A Zimbabwean lawyer and journalists from Uzbekistan, China and Brazil will be honoured for courage at a special event next month aimed at paying tribute to individuals who have risked their lives to defend press freedom.
On 22 November 2005, the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) will present its 2005 International Press Freedom Awards to Beatrice Mtetwa, Galima Bukharbaeva, Shi Tao and Lúcio Flávio Pinto at a dinner in New York City.
Mtetwa has been arrested and beaten for defending independent journalists in Zimbabwean courts. She has won acquittals for several journalists facing criminal charges.
Bukharbaeva is a former Uzbekistan-based correspondent for the Institute for War and Peace Reporting who risked her life covering the massacre of innocent protestors in the city of Andijan last May. She now lives in exile in the United States but faces criminal charges in her home country.
Shi Tao is serving a 10-year prison sentence for "leaking state secrets abroad." He has been a freelance journalist for Internet publications and an editor for "Dangdai Shang Bao", a Chinese business newspaper.
Flávio Pinto is the publisher and editor of "Jornal Pessoal", a bi-monthly newspaper. He has been physically assaulted and threatened with death for reporting on drug trafficking, environmental destruction and corruption in Brazil's remote Amazon region.

Shortly after news broke that Kim Kardashian had gone into labor with her and Kanye West's first baby, a daughter, comes a report the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star has given birth.
According to TMZ, Kim gave birth to the baby girl Saturday morning (June 15) and both mom and daughter are in good health. The site also reports that the delivery came a month earlier than the expected date of birth. The birth was all-natural.
Kanye skipped out on a Los Angeles listening party for his new album, "Yeezus," Friday night, fueling the speculation that Kim was going into labor. Sources say he canceled his appearance because Kim was feeling "a little off."
Kim recently revealed she was having a baby girl during the season premiere of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians."
More as it develops.

I have owned Hurt Go Happy by Ginny Rorby for almost four years now and have pulled it off the shelf to read many time but, knowing it would be (for me) a very tough read, I never started it. Then I read Katherine Applegate's The One and Only Ivan, the slightly fictionalized story of Ivan, a silverback gorilla who was raised like a human child until he became too big. He was then placed in the B&I Public Marketplace in Tacoma, WA, also known as the Circus Mall. For almost thirty years Ivan lived in a small, dank enclosure without the society of other gorillas, people passing by day after day, making faces and pounding on the glass of his cage. In 1994 PAWS, an organization that works toward the goal of "a world where all people recognize the intrinsic value of animals and consistently make choices that demonstrate compassion and respect" intervened on Ivan's behalf and found him a home at the Atlanta Zoo where he lives with other gorillas. I was so moved by Applegate's book and Ivan's story that I knew I had to read Hurt Go Happy next, even though I knew it was also based on a true story and would be even more heartbreaking than Ivan's story.
One final thing. I was talking with a librarian today and she told me about a book that consumed her. Endangered, by Eliot Sherfer. You can read the New York Times' excellent review here. This sounds like the perfect, but equally heartbreaking, next book for readers who loved Hurt Go Happy. Hopefully I'll get to review it soon, but, as I said above, these kind of animal stories are hard for me - even when I know there will be a happy ending.

If you were an anti-Semite dedicated to spreading your hatred of Jews, what charges exactly would you make in 21st century America?
You would avoid the blood libel—too medieval to write of sacrificing Christian children to make Passover matzo. That kind of stuff circulates in Arab lands or Pakistan, but won't sell in suburban America. And the "Christ-killer" material is also dated, what with Vatican II, Evangelical support for Israel, and the like.
There are two charges you would make. First, the rich Jews control our government. Second, those Jews are trying to push America into war so your sons will have to fight for Israel.
In the last week that is exactly what we have seen. First came the Thomas Friedman column in the New York Times: "I sure hope that Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, understands that the standing ovation he got in Congress this year was not for his politics. That ovation was bought and paid for by the Israel lobby." Perhaps it was jealousy from seeing Walt and Mearsheimer sell all those books with this line, but Friedman here tips right into the swamps.

What do you think of when you think of your school?
What if school was more than stress, drama, practices, tests, etc.? What if your school was your mission field? And what if you were a missionary to your school? Teens For Christ challenges students in Pittsburgh / western Pennsylvania to make this school year a 9 month mission trip. The students in your school need to hear about the unconditional love of God and about Jesus who gave His life because He loves them.
The good news is... you don't have to do this alone!

BEIRUT (Reuters) - A bomb blast in the government-held center of Damascus killed 13 people on Tuesday, state television said, while rebels and loyalists to President Bashar al-Assad traded accusations over what they said was a chemical weapons attack the day before.
Residents described scenes of carnage in Marjeh Square, in a the commercial district in the heart of the capital, with dozens of cars and buildings damaged by the bomb which went off in front of the former Interior Ministry building.
"Glass was shattered around the whole block and shopkeepers were using brooms to clean up the glass in front of their shops," said one resident who declined to be named, fearing arrest for speaking to the media.
State-run Syria Television said 70 people were also wounded, several critically, in what it said was an attack by "terrorists" fighting to overthrow Assad.
Three mortar bombs landed in the government-held district of Baramkeh a few hours after the bomb, opposition activists said.
The British-based Syrian Observatory said nine civilians and five security personnel had been killed, but said the toll was likely to rise. It came a day after Prime Minister Wael al-Halki survived an attack on his convoy in the Syrian capital.
Opposition activists described similar scenes of bloodshed in the central city of Hama where they said 13 civilians were killed in heavy government bombardment.
Fighting in Syria, now entering its third year, has intensified in the last month with government forces attempting to roll back rebel advances.
Some 70,000 people have now been killed in the civil war.
Each side blamed the other for what they both said was a chemical attack in the northern city of Saraqeb on Monday.
The United States has long said it views the use of chemical weapons in Syria as a "red line", but wary of the false intelligence that was used to justify the 2003 war in Iraq, Washington has said it wants proof before taking action.
Iran, the Syrian government's main backer and self-declared enemy of the United States, echoed that line on Tuesday and said it also saw any the use of chemical weapons as a "red line".
Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi did not indicate what action Tehran might take if chemical weapons use was proven, but said that the opposition was to blame.
Rebel video showed small canisters they said held a poison gas and footage of a clinic with several people lying on cots wearing oxygen masks or vomiting into trash cans.
State television carried a news flash saying the rebels had mixed a weapon with a chemical powder and used them in attacks they then blamed on Assad's forces.
It is difficult to determine what weapon might have caused widespread cases of choking and sometimes death, as a U.N. observation team trying to examine alleged sites of attacks has been stalled. Some potent mixes of tear gas can also cause severe choking, vomiting and death.
Both Assad's forces, backed by Russia and Iran, and rebels, supported by the West, have been accused of war crimes.
Reuters cannot independently verify reports as the government restricts access to journalists in Syria.
The revolt in Syria began with peaceful protests but turned violent as Assad's security forces escalated their harsh crackdown on dissent.

Art is subjective, but we think we can objectively say that Massachusetts has the best art in the entire solar system. After all, it's home to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, one of the world's most impressive collections of fine art; Mass MoCA, the country's most fertile site for large scale new art; and the "small but big" Worcester Art and Fitchburg Art Museums. Plus, there's a whole museum of bad art, and one that's free if your name is Isabella. Wake up your soul at the Jacob's Pillow dance festival, catch yourself clapping inappropriately loud for the world famous Boston Symphony Orchestra or banging your head (in a good way) in the birthplace of hardcore punk. And don't leave without experiencing some drama (also in a good way) at one of our amazing theaters, from The Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center in The Berkshires to Worcester's majestic Hanover Theatre to Boston's storied theater district. You can also visit the Massachusetts Cultural Council website for more information on the arts in Massachusetts.

Retirement Services will be holding an Open Season Virtual Town Hall on December 8, 2015, from 1:00 pm-2:30 pm EST. The event will assist you with questions you may still have about Open Season changes.
If you have a question, please send it to firstname.lastname@example.com.
The link to the webcast is http://web.2.c3.audiovideoweb.com/ca25web26002/7c3flslive1573.html. During the webcast we will answer as many FEHB Open Season questions as possible within the allotted timeframe. We are unable to process Open Season requests during this webcast or at the email address established for questions.
As January comes to a close, it is time to start assembling everything you need to file your Federal income taxes. The "hard copy" 1099Rs are hot off the press and will be in the mail this week. There is, however, a way to access your 1099R today.
Simply go to www.servicesonline.opm.gov (SOL). If you do not remember your password for SOL, instructions are provided on how to get a new one. While in SOL, make sure we have your correct mailing address and email address to ensure you receive future correspondence from us.
If you enjoy getting your 1099R quickly and easily online, and have not already done so, elect to "opt in" to go green and skip the "hard copy" entirely next year!
You can return to SOL if you need to tweak your tax withholding for FY 2015…or if you need another copy of your 1099R later.
There is no need to call Retirement Services during business hours, as SOL is available 24-7 during tax season and year-round!
Did you hear? Federal retirees and survivors will receive a 1.7% Cost-of-Living adjustment (COLA) effective December 1, 2014. You will see the increase in the January 2, 2015, payment.
Why wait until you receive your annual mailer at the end of December to see your new monthly annuity amount. Simply go to Services Online (SOL) (www.servicesonline.opm.gov) to see your new annuity amount. If you do not remember your password for SOL, simply follow the instructions to get a new one.
While on SOL, why not do some annuity housekeeping by checking to make sure we have your correct mailing address, email address and the proper Federal or state tax withholdings.
Additionally, help us reduce our carbon footprint by opting in to receive your annual mailer and 1099R electronically. Receiving them electronically will allow you to receive the information sooner and save them directly to your computer for easy access in the future.
As always, OPM continues to keep your transactions on SOL safe, secure and easy for you to access at any time 24/7 365 days a year.
Federal Law requires the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to verify that Federal Retirement payments are made to the appropriate individuals and that all payments are accurate based on their status. To ensure benefits are correct and make sure OPM is aware of any changes in status, OPM sends annual surveys to verify the accuracy of information on file. OPM sends surveys to all annuitants under the age of 60 receiving a Disability Benefit, students between the ages of 18-22 or person assigned as the Representative Payee for an annuitant, and individuals receiving Annuity Supplement benefits prior to the age of 62. Each survey asks specific questions regarding one's status. If you meet the criteria, you are required to respond in order to maintain eligibility for continued benefits. Failure to respond in a timely manner are likely to result in the suspension of benefits. Additionally, non-responses could result in overpayments of benefits and such benefits must be repaid. Please remember to report all changes in direct deposit accounts, correspondence and email addresses to OPM since misdirected payments and undeliverable mail may also result in suspension of benefits.
You can manage your retirement account by accessing Services online: servicesonline.opm.gov or calling 1-888-767-6738.
Happy New Year from Retirement Services!
This message is to bring you the latest news concerning Services Online (SOL) that will benefit you and your family.
Last summer, we introduced for the first time, the opportunity for annuitants and survivors to receive the annual notice and IRS 1099R from us using your SOL account. I'm pleased to say this has been a big success. Thousands of you signed up to receive these mailings using SOL. We are expecting even greater enrollment this year. Simply go to www.ServicesOnline.opm.gov to sign up. If you do not remember your password, instructions are provided on how to obtain another one. Remember, after 15 months of non-usage, your SOL password will expire.
Several of you have participated in our customer satisfaction survey. Overall satisfaction with SOL is eighty-seven percent with ninety-one percent of annuitants completing their transaction(s).
Retirement Services thanks you for helping to reduce our carbon footprint by reducing the number of mailings we send every year.
OPM will continue to keep your transactions on SOL secure and easy for you to access as we move toward a modern and responsive system that meets your needs now and in the future.

Sports Editor's Playbook, Feb. 24, 2011
Patrick Newell
- Interesting wrestling notes that came up in my conversations with Norwich coach Joe Downey and Greene coach Tim Jenks. Norwich state tournament qualifiers Tristan Rifanburg and Frank Garcia attended one Section IV team practice a week ago, but haven't suffered for lack of training. Aside from having each other to drill against, the Norwich duo traveled to Chenango Forks, Downey said. Rifanburg and Garcia are training with Forks 96-pounder Kyle Kelly, the unbeaten Division I sectional champion who is among the favorites at Albany's Times Union Center. Additionally, Kelly's teammate Jacob Green, a 112-pound state tournament alternate, is in the training mix.
Kelly lost two tight matchups to Rifanburg last season, but earned a trip to the state tournament and placed fourth overall at 96 pounds. As we know, Rifanburg was the top dog in Division II at that weight. Garcia, too, had his battles with Forks' Green a year ago with each one a tight matchup. Downey said Rifanburg is working with Kelly, while Green is paired up with Garcia.
- All season, Jenks has overseen a stockpile of talented middleweights. His 140-pound sophomore, Dan Dickman, was a sectional runner-up. So, too, was 145-pounder Mike Beckwith. Seventh-grader Christian Dietrich and junior Keegan Cerwinski added sectional championships to the mix at 152 and 160 pounds respectively. Two weights higher, senior Kurt Shear is making his second straight appearance in the state tournament at 189 pounds.
Dietrich's appearance in the tournament is no surprise to Jenks, who has heard of the young man's wrestling exploits for years. Dietrich was a four-time kids national wrestling champion in the peewee ranks. He typically wrestled up one or two age groups, and when he matched up against kids his own age, it wasn't unusual for the opponent to give up a forfeit rather than face the young prodigy, Jenks said.
Jenks has coached for decades in Central New York, and he may end up among the all-time win leaders in Section IV coaching history before he retires. He says in all of his years, he has not seen a young man in seventh-grade – who is a legitimate 152-pounder – at Dietrich's level. "I'm not sure if (Christian) will end up like a Troy Nickerson, but we'll soon find out," Jenks said. "He's a special kid, and we think he's the real deal."
Nickerson, for those out of the wrestling loop, won five straight New York State wrestling championships at Chenango Forks High School, and went on to win an NCAA wrestling title while at Cornell University.
- If you're reading this, you obviously know where to find my sports blog. Saturday morning, I will blog on the New York State wrestling tournament and update the progress of local wrestlers following semifinals round and first round of wrestlebacks. Additionally, I will add quick match results on Twitter, and feel free to follow me on Twitter @evesunpat. If you don't have a Twitter account, please sign up to receive the updates.

"Punishment" is not in your cat's vocabulary. Positive reinforcement of good behavior -- with treats, attention and verbal praise -- solves most kitty behavioral problems.

If you are looking to lower the risk of dementia in old age, start moving and getting fit. According to a new study, this is the best way to avoid dementia.
After adjusting for age, smoking, diabetes, cholesterol and other health factors, the researchers found that compared with those in the lowest 20 percent for fitness in midlife, those in the highest 20 percent had a 36 percent reduced risk of dementia.
The study population was largely white and highly educated, and the researchers acknowledge that their findings, published last week in The Annals of Internal Medicine, cannot be generalized to other populations. They emphasize that the study is observational and does not prove causation.
Fitness has also been a good way to keep your brain in good shape in midlife by activating countless neurons, which generate, receive and interpret repeated, rapid-fire messages from the nervous system, coordinating muscle contractions, vision, balance, organ function and all of the complex interactions of bodily systems that allow you to take one step, then another.
If you are looking to keep your brain in good shape, get moving and it will pay off later in life!

Friday Cat Blogging - 30 November 2012
Domino wasn't really cooperative this morning, so I didn't have a whole lot of catblogging photos to choose from. She did deign to let me take a few pictures, though, before she got up to rub her face against the camera and then go upstairs for her mid-morning snooze (not to be confused with her early morning snooze or her late morning snooze). But it's raining around here anyway, so what else is there to do?

Children & Youth: Building tomorrow today
As young people mature, the decisions they make have an enormous impact on their families, their communities and our world. But growing up surrounded by poverty, war or in the aftermath of disaster increases their risks and limits their choices.
That's why giving children and youth the right support at this most critical time is essential to building tomorrow's strong, productive communities.
When disaster strikes, young children are especially vulnerable to developing emotional and social problems that can jeopardize their futures. Mercy Corps worked with experts to design our signature Comfort for Kids program that helps children process their trauma and recover through play, sports and art activities.

Israeli tax transfers to Palestinians down in 2000
A sidebar to the Palestinian uprising and Israel's harsh retaliatory reaction is a cut in the amount of tax revenues that Israel has transferred to the Palestinians. According to Globes, an Israeli business daily, Israeli financial authorities transferred only 2.44 billion shekels to the Palestinian Authority in 2000 ¯ below the 2.5-2.7 billion-shekel amounts transferred in previous years.
Unsurprisingly, the fall in transfers was most marked from October-December, when Israel transferred only 390 million shekels to the Palestinian Authority, only 42 percent from the 668 million shekels transferred during the third quarter of the year. During June-September, Israel transferred 1.15 billion shekels ¯ equal to 74 percent of all money transfers in 2000.
In June, Israel extended an advance worth 200 million shekels against future tax transfers. That amount was deducted in November and December from the transfer amounts, reported Globes. According to earlier agreements, the Israeli tax and customs authorities collect purchase tax and other taxes on behalf of the Palestinian Authority. ¯ (Albawaba-MEBG)

Review 11/12/2013
This review is from: ASUS VX228H Black 21.5" 1ms (GTG) HDMI Widescreen LED Backlight Full HD 1080p Monitor 250 cd/m2 ASCR 80,000,000:1
1. Lowest Response Time
2. Great For Gaming
3. HDCP Support
4. HD Support
5. Gaming OSD Timer/Crosshair
6. 2x HDMI Ports, Selectable via Monitor OSD
7. Multiple Display Modes
8. Stereo Speakers
9. Aspect Ratio Selection; 4:3, 16:9, 16:10 Support.
1. Gaming OSD Crosshair isn't very customizable, only 2 types and 2 colors each.
2. Speakers aren't high quality, only 2 channel stereo audio.
Other Thoughts:
The price wasn't bad at all considering it's 1ms GTG and gaming grade..
My monitor only has 1 stuck pixel (stuck, not dead) which I manage to fix by tapping on the monitor with my BIC lighter on the tips/ends. (Temporary fix)
I won't even bother using the speakers on the monitor because I already know they aren't good for gaming, let alone music...
I'm not very keen on color variations, but this monitor has pretty decent contrast to color for what I notice and use it for (gaming).
I took 1 egg off due to the 1 stuck pixel AND poor audio quality on the speakers.. I figured those two problems put together are worth 1 egg off.. if I could have chosen half an egg instead of a whole egg I would have chosen the half instead.
Overall I do recommend this monitor for gaming. 4.5/5

Bugzilla Questions and Answers: Submit Your Question
Q - 1 Can users be on the system while a backup is in progress?

Q - 2 Does Bugzilla provide any reporting features, metrics, graphs, etc?
Ans- Yes. Look at http://link.GlobalGuideline.com for basic reporting facilities.For more advanced reporting, I recommend hooking up a professional reporting package, such as Crystal Reports, and use ODBC to access the MySQL database. You can do a lot through the Query page of Bugzilla as well, but right now Advanced Reporting is much better accomplished through third-party utilities that can interface with the database directly.
Advanced Reporting is a Bugzilla 3.X proposed feature.
Is This Answer Correct? | 4 Yes | 1 No |
Q - 3 Is there email notification and if so, what do you see when you get an email? Do you see bug number and title or is it only the number?
Ans- Email notification is user-configurable. The bug id and Topic of the bug report accompany each email notification, along with a list of the changes made.Is This Answer Correct? | 3 Yes | 0 No |
Q - 4 If I just wanted to track certain bugs, as they go through life, can I set it up to alert me via email whenever that bug changes, whether it be owner, status or description etc.?
Ans- Yes. Place yourself in the "cc" field of the bug you wish to monitor. Then change your "Notify me of changes to" field in the Email Settings tab of the User Preferences screen in Bugzilla to the "Only those bugs which I am listed on the CC line" option.Is This Answer Correct? | 3 Yes | 0 No |

Q - 10 I try to add myself as a user, but Bugzilla always tells me my password is wrong.

If Marissa Mayer and Sheryl Sandberg Worked in PR…
This is a guest post by PR Columnist, Alison Kenney.
If you're reading this you're probably aware of the PR ups and downs experienced recently by Marissa Mayer and Sheryl Sandberg, two very prominent businesswomen. Sandberg is step-by-stepping her way through a case study on successful book launches, while Mayer ignited backlash and was perceived as setting family/work balance issues back a generation for ending Yahoo!'s policy of allowing some workers to telecommute.
I won't get into the mixed messages that the media is communicating over whether Mayer and Sandberg are worthy role models for modern feminists or examples of how to 'have it all.' What they both are is terrific examples of how to be successful at work and in your career. And their examples translate well in the PR industry.
Picture Marissa Mayer as the new head of a PR agency, one that's suffered in recent years due to the recession and needs an injection of fresh leadership to reinvigorate its client relationships and to amp up its bottom line to satisfy the bigwigs in its holding company.
PR agencies are in the service business, which means they must be accessible and responsive to clients and their needs. Agencies that are experiencing contractions in business and greater competition are more likely to call 'all hands on deck' meetings and stress personal accountability to meet these business challenges. In tight markets, firms may search for ways to combine or consolidate resources or they may try to establish new service offerings and revenue streams. The process innovations they come up with are most likely going to be geared toward helping each employee reach ultimate productivity levels and drive business results. (I realize not all PR agencies are the same; independent firms and virtual agencies, among other types of PR firms, may have different guiding values and different ways to achieve their desired results.)
Mayer gets it. She can talk the talk because she's walked the walk. She was Google's first female engineer and the 20th employee for the startup. During her career at Google, Mayer was an engineer, designer, product manager, and executive, and launched more than 100 well-known features and products. She was also in charge of some of Google's acquisitions. She's a Wal-Mart board member and angel investor. If anyone can right the ship, it's her (we think).
Now picture Sheryl Sandberg as a senior vice president of corporate communications. She's a great boss who brings a broad perspective to the role from her varied and impressive background of experiences. She knows what it takes to get PR a 'seat at the table,' too. Even better, Sandberg enjoys mentoring the next generation of internal communications directors with great advice on how to navigate the corporate career ladder.
I've written before about how the lines between PR and other functions in an organization can get blurred with PR increasing being measured for its ability to impact sales, customer service and other marketing functions. Sheryl's experience as COO at Facebook is a good example of how to build inter-organizational bridges among various departments. At Facebook, Sandberg oversees sales, marketing, business development, HR, public policy and communications. She was a driver in uniting these functions to make Facebook profitable, one of her first major accomplishments at the company. Sheryl also understands the importance of transparency and authentic communications, which are essential to corporate communications and brand development.
And who better than Sheryl to shepherd PR through a period of massive change? Technology and social media are changing the PR role, complicating the way we work and measure our results. If anyone can teach us the importance of staying open-minded and encourage us to learn and adopt new methods, it's the woman who is launching a cultural movement to get women to be better represented in corporate leadership roles.
Like the many places Mayer and Sandberg have worked in their careers, PR can be both hospitable and tough on working parents. I don't think most working mothers are in a position to follow Mayer's and Sandberg's examples of balancing work and family, but both women offer lessons in how to succeed in the workplace.

Leave it to the Japanese to turn it into a competitive sport. Advertisement This event is called the Osu Rider's Cup and it appears to take place several times a year on a go-kart track. Don't be fooled by the relatively slow speeds, getting the most out of a CVT-equipped scooter while hauling double the usual weight is an incredibly tricky task. Making things worse, that extra weight is tall and tends to move around behind you. It also extends the front suspension which makes steering slow and imprecise and makes front end washouts not just likely, but inevitable. The passenger also compresses the rear and adds too much weight for the damping to cope with, meaning the rear end will wobble around on over-compressed springs with very little control.[via SixSylinder]Reply90 repliesLeave a reply

c.1300, bleu, blwe, etc., from Old French blo "pale, pallid, wan, light-colored; blond; discolored; blue, blue-gray," from Frankish *blao or some other Germanic source, from Proto-Germanic *blæwaz (cf. Old English blaw, Old Saxon and Old High German blao, Danish blaa, Swedish blå, Old Frisian blau, Middle Dutch bla, Dutch blauw, German blau "blue"), from PIE *bhle-was "light-colored, blue, blond, yellow," from PIE root bhel- (1) "to shine, flash" (see bleach (v.)).
The same PIE root yielded Latin flavus "yellow," Old Spanish blavo "yellowish-gray," Greek phalos "white," Welsh blawr "gray," Old Norse bla "livid" (the meaning in black and blue), showing the usual slippery definition of color words in Indo-European The present spelling is since 16c., from French influence (Modern French bleu).
The exact color to which the Gmc. term applies varies in the older dialects; M.H.G. bla is also 'yellow,' whereas the Scandinavian words may refer esp. to a deep, swarthy black, e.g. O.N. blamaðr, N.Icel. blamaður 'Negro' [Buck]The color of constancy since Chaucer at least, but apparently for no deeper reason than the rhyme in true blue (c.1500). From early times blue was the distinctive color of the dress of servants, which may be the reason police uniforms are blue, a tradition Farmer dates to Elizabethan times. For blue ribbon see cordon bleu under cordon. Blue whale attested from 1851, so called for its color. The flower name blue bell is recorded by 1570s. Blue streak, of something resembling a blt of lightning (for quickness, intensity, etc.) is from 1830, U.S. Western slang.
Few words enter more largely into the composition of slang, and colloquialisms bordering on slang, than does the word BLUE. Expressive alike of the utmost contempt, as of all that men hold dearest and love best, its manifold combinations, in ever varying shades of meaning, greet the philologist at every turn. [John S. Farmer, "Slang and Its Analogues Past and Present," 1890, p.252]
"lewd, indecent" recorded from 1840 (in form blueness, in an essay of Carlyle's); the sense connection is unclear, and is opposite to that in blue laws (q.v.). John Mactaggart's "Scottish Gallovidian Encyclopedia" (1824) containing odd words he had learned while growing up in Galloway and elsewhere in Scotland, has an entry for Thread o'Blue, "any little smutty touch in song-singing, chatting, or piece of writing." Farmer ["Slang and Its Analogues Past and Present," 1890] offers the theory that this meaning derives from the blue dress uniforms issued to harlots in houses of correction, but he writes that the earlier slang authority John Camden Hotten "suggests it as coming from the French Bibliothèque Bleu, a series of books of very questionable character," and adds, from Hotten, that, "Books or conversation of an entirely opposite nature are said to be Brown or Quakerish, i.e., serious, grave, decent."
"to make blue," c.1600, from blue (1).

generally associated with purple (Ex. 25:4; 26:1, 31, 36, etc.). It is supposed to have been obtained from a shellfish of the Mediterranean, the Helix ianthina of Linnaeus. The robe of the high priest's ephod was to be all of this colour (Ex. 28:31), also the loops of the curtains (26:4) and the ribbon of the breastplate (28:28). Blue cloths were also made for various sacred purposes (Num. 4:6, 7, 9, 11, 12). (See COLOUR.)

Press association award goes to Marilyn Avila
Guest editorial by Beth Grace
and Jessica Kennedy
N.C. Press Association
N.C. Rep. Marilyn Avila has been chosen to receive the prestigious North Carolina Press Association's (NCPA) Lassiter Award to honor her strong and courageous battle to keep government open to the people.
This award was created and named in honor of the late William C. Lassiter, a former general counsel of the NCPA, who spent his life fighting to keep government access open.
The award carries a very simple mission: to honor a non-journalist who has furthered First Amendment freedoms and/or stood strong in defense of open government. It is one of the highest honors the NCPA gives, and is not awarded every year.
Avila was nominated by Todd Allen, owner and publisher of The Wake Weekly, and John Bussian, NCPA First Amendment counsel. She was the clear choice among the judges.
Avila's work in the North Carolina House of Representatives in 2013 alone makes her richly deserving of the award. On no less than three occasions she rallied support against strong political headwinds within her own Republican House caucus to amend anti-newspaper public notice legislation by replacing the bad bills with the NCPA-backed Florida-Tennessee statewide compromise legislation.
Behind her strong floor speeches, each bill was amended on excep-tionally strong floor votes of 69, 65 and 62 House members — Republican and Democrat — in favor of the NCPA's bill. The last vote came after the Speaker of the House took a seat on the floor and vehemently denounced the press association's position on the amendment.
Avila's floor speeches imploring House members to protect the public's right to know through her amendment and to protect free press rights (by staving off local government's "option" to revoke public notice advertising following unfavorable editorializing or coverage by the press) are now legendary.
At session's end, she had taken substantial political risks to carry the amendments on the House floor, and she prevailed.
Avila will receive a plaque and be honored at the annual NCPA awards reception, Feb. 27, at the Hill Alumni Center in Chapel Hill.

In defense of public notices
"We're exempting ourselves from laws that we ask the private sector to obey.
"When we pass laws and taxes and regulations and we hear the private sector yell, 'It's too expensive,' our response is, 'That's your cost of doing business.'
"Well, members, our cost of doing business in public notifications to our citizens is a cost that we should incur.
"We're setting a precedent that is not good, in policy, as far as keeping in touch with our citizens. We want DENR to exempt itself from notification.
"What's next, transportation? Education? Commerce?
"Are our citizens going to have to bookmark every website for every department in every division in government and check it every day to figure out what we're up to down here?
"This illustrates more clearly than any other argument, the direction for this legislation is to keep the current requirements, with cost adjustments, and expand it to reach out to those that want electronic notification, not force all citizens to a limited means of communication that they might not have access to or ability to use.
"How many of you have large rural areas where that access is not available? How many of you have sections in your urban areas where that's not affordable and they do not have access? ...
"It's no secret we're in town and the doors are open for us to come in and speak, yet we are trying to introduce limitation on the notices for public hearings that will impact people's lives.
"They won't know the meetings are taking place. They won't be able to walk through the doors and make their views known. I don't think that's what we want to do.
"The stated goal here tonight is to save money. That may be part of it. However, there does seem to be an ulterior motive driven by the natural tension that exists between government and the press as has been reflected lately on some recent exchanges here in the General Assembly.
"To legislate anything here based on pettiness, paranoia or seeking revenge, belittles the positions that we hold.
"As the ultimate source of all govern-ment funding, whether it's federal, state or local, through their taxes or through their fees, our citizens are entitled to — and should demand — the fundamental obligation of openness and honesty from the people they elect."
—Marilyn Avila, excerpt of speech on floor of House of Representatives
