The Feminist Majority Foundation condemns the public stoning of a woman to death in Northern Afghanistan by the Taliban militia for allegedly committing adultery and calls for an end to the brutal gender apartheid regime that continues to terrorize the women and girls of Afghanistan.
"The on-going and increasing brutality of the Taliban regime is evident in this latest appalling human rights atrocity," proclaimed Eleanor Smeal, president of the Feminist Majority.
The second reported public execution of a woman carried out in the past six months, the stoning took place in a sports stadium in Mazar-e-Sharif before several thousand people. There has been no report of what happened to the man involved in the alleged affair.
The Feminist Majority Foundation calls on President Clinton and Secretary of State Albright to publicly condemn this brutal murder and to increase US pressure to restore the rights of women and girls in Afghanistan fully and permanently.
Official Taliban decrees, punishable by beating, stoning, and death, ban women's work, education, and mobility. Afghan women and girls risk their lives daily to realize the very basic human needs. Even after international condemnation, the Taliban have only made slight and unofficial changes to their gender apartheid policies. Despite these changes, the overall reality of Afghan women and girls has remained unchanged. Women and girls in Afghanistan continue to live under virtual house arrest.
Afghan's continue to make up the world's largest refugee population with an estimated 2.5 million refugees in Pakistan and Iran alone. On-going Taliban military offensives have resulted in gross human rights violations and massive displacement of the civilian population, particularly women and children. According to UN estimates, over the course of 1999 an additional 200,000 persons have fled the fighting and an estimated 258,600 remain internally displaced. Ironically Afghanistan's estimated one million war widows ranks it among the countries with the highest female-headed household population.
Over 160 women's and human rights organizations join The Feminist Majority Foundation's Campaign to Stop Gender Apartheid in Afghanistan in imploring the United States and the United Nations to do everything in its power to help restore the rights of Afghan women and girls. The Campaign continues to press the United States government to deny the Taliban recognition until the rights of women and girls are fully and permanently restored, to increase humanitarian assistance directed to Afghan women and children, and to increase refugee admission of women and girls fleeing the brutal gender apartheid regime.

Motorola RAZR Maxx hands on review – gimme Ice Cream Sandwich
Recent smartphone launches have set the bar pretty high for Android – we're looking at you HTC One X and Samsung Galaxy S3. And we know the RAZR has the hardware locked down but what else is the RAZR Maxx bringing to the table?
First up, the curious name is all about the massive 3,300 mAh battery that has lasted for up to a whopping 62 hours of mixed use (talk time, video and internet browsing) in Motorola's own tests.
In this refresh of last year's four star, size-zero RAZR, we were disappointed to see Gingerbread staring up at us when we booted up the RAZR Maxx. But Motorola is working on bringing Ice Cream Sandwich to the handset by the end of this quarter so expect to update to Android's latest OS by the end of June.
Motorola RAZR Maxx hands on review – versus RAZR
At just 7.1mm thin, the RAZR's physique was a big selling point but we actually prefer the RAZR Maxx's new 8.9mm thick beefed out form. It feels weightier (at 145g) in the hand, more premium and less likely to snap in half if you accidentally sit on it.
Other than that, you're looking at the same solid Kevlar construction that we were fans of the first time round and all the same innards – a slightly out of date, dual-core 1.2GHz processor backed up by 1GB of RAM and 16GB of onboard storage (expandable to 32GB with a microSD card).
Motorola RAZR Maxx hands on review – dawn of the giant smartphone
The RAZR Maxx's 4.3in Super AMOLED qHD (540 x 960) display is seriously sexy and a real selling point. The colours really pop and it manages deep blacks even when compared to a great rival like the Nokia Lumia 900.
But be warned both these phones are pretty big and if you're of the small-handed species of smartphone lover, you might prefer something a bit more compact for one-handed use. Plus the bezel makes the RAZR Maxx look a bit old-school for our liking.
Motorola RAZR Maxx hands on review – 8MP camera smarts
The same 8MP camera that we used on the RAZR impressed us again with accurate colours and easy to use controls like exposure and panorama mode. There's also 1080p video on board the RAZR Maxx show but if smartphone photography is a deal-breaker for you, be patient and we'll line up the best of 2012's smartphone cams to truly see which 8MP snapper is king.
Motorola RAZR Maxx hands on review – price and release date
So the Motorola RAZR Maxx is a chunkier RAZR that promises not to run out of juice and let you down every afternoon at 5pm. Since battery life is so important, let's hope other smartphone manufacturers take note and start cramming in big batteries themselves.
But is the RAZR Maxx special enough? That remains to be be seen. But with nifty features like Smart Actions – where the phone will automatically open your music player when you plug in headphones, or turn on GPS when docked in the car – and MotoCast for remote access to files on any switched on PCs or Macs at home, it stands a very good chance. And it's available to pre-order now from £420.

Kevin Cramer displays ignorance of native people, racism, and misogyny at a Native American meeting in Bismarck by his treatment of native woman who has experienced abuse.
First, things first. Melissa Merrick was a student of mine at Devils Lake High School. A good student. A respectful student. A reliable student. Her sister, Natalie, was also one of my students at Devils Lake High School. I have known her grandfather, Frank, for over 40 years. He is a well read, dignified gentleman. These are decent people.
My husband, Bill, worked at Cankdeska Cikana Community College for many years. He knew and liked the Merricks. Our son, Jim, managed all the computer services at the Casino for several years. He knew and liked Melissa Merrick.
We do not personally know Kevin Cramer, but have become aware of his statements in front of a Native Amercan group meeting in Bismarck to discuss violence. At that meeting it is reported that Cramer said he would not feel "secure" on a reservation, and that he did not think he could get a fair trial in a tribal court. He declared that parts of the new VAWA law are unconstituional, even though his education contains no legal training. He asked Melissa, in front of the group, what she thought of the Tribal Council at Spirit Lake. How inappropriate of him! Merrick is the diretor of the Spirit Lake Nation's victim assistance program and has personal experience as a victim. Cramer also stated he would like to use violence on the Council---this at a meeting on violence.
He is now apologizing for his "tone" to Melissa Merrick. He has more than tone to apologize for.
But Cramer has a defender, Rob Port, identified as a "Conservative Blogger." He recently blogged that Melissa is a "Democrat Operative," whatever that may be. His words are undefined and at best, mean spirited.
If Port lables Mellisa Merrick an "Operative" what would he call Cramer? In 1984, Cramer ran for a seat on the Public Service Commission. He lost. in 1986, he worked on Republican Mark Andrew's campaign, which Andrews lost. Republican governor, Ed Shaefer then appointed Cramer as State Tourism Director. In 1996 Cramer ran for US Congress against Earl Pomeroy and lost. In 1997 Ed Shaefer appointed Cremer as North Dakota's Economic Director. In 1998, Cramer again challenged Pomeroy and lost by a wide margin. Shaefer then appointed Cramer as Director of the Harold Shaefer Leadership Foundation (Harold was Ed's dad) until he was appointed to the Public Service Commission by then Governor John Hoeven.
Does this job history fit the definition of "Operative"?
After so many losses, Cramer, in 2004 ran for PSC and was elected. In 2010, he lost his party's nomination to run for congress to Rick Berg, and when Berg decided not to run again in 2012, Cramer became the Republican candidate to run for Congress against Pam Gulleson. At last, he won.
And irony of ironies---he is on the US House of Representative's Sub-Committee on Indian and Alaska Native Affairs! Why was he appointed to sit on a sub-committee regarding Native Americans when he clearly does not understand the people, their legal and governmental system, or their struggles?
Cramer does not deserve the honor of representing ALL the people of North Dakota in the US Congress. He has shamed us all with his shameful words and "tone."

text: The big problem with the romantic comedy "Bride Wars" seems as plain as the opening credits. This movie about "the best day in a girl's life," about two lifelong friends who have planned their "June, at The Plaza" weddings since childhood, was directed by a man. Another man came up with the story. No matter that women pitched in and tried to inject a little estrogen into the proceedings. It's still a patronizing comedy that rolls its boyish eyes at the tizzy these brides work themselves into over their big day. Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson play the pals, Jersey girls whose lives were changed by a magical visit to New York's Plaza Hotel as children, the place to get married in the month for weddings -- June.Liv (Hudson) has grown up into being a pushy litigator used to winning and getting her own way. Emma (Hathaway) has matured into a pushover school teacher who lets everybody else impose their will on her. They get engaged the same day. They visit the Mother of All Wedding Planners ( Candice Bergen, who also narrates) together. And that's how things get mixed up and they find themselves not sharing and helping each other make their dreams come true, but competing for wedding guests, reception DJs and everything else associated with "the day your life begins." Emma's "elegantly minimalist" affair runs into Liv's "trendy fusion" nuptials, so let the dirty tricks fly as each one-ups the other -- the wedding "video montage" switcheroo, sabotage at the hair salon, the works. The grooms (Chris Pratt and Steve Howey) are mere bland eyewitnesses to this prize fight. "Your wedding had better watch it," threatens Liv in what passes for a giggle here. Both weddings are slated for June 6, which nobody involved was clever enough to realize is the anniversary of D-Day. That's not the only joke they missed. Director Gary Winick may have "13 Going on 30" and an "Ugly Betty" episode on his resume, but he can't find the laughs in this set-up, or these two funny ladies. The supporting cast ( Kristen Johnston plays a maid of honor) fares no better. The third act's sentimental moments are the only bits that work, and they come long after we've stopped caring which leading lady wears the most jet-black eye-liner. The title, "Bride Wars," promises farce, wacky cat-fights and that learning moment when they and we realize "It's not about the wedding. It's about love and the life that follows." The movie breaks those vows. It's a picture that never comes to life before the "death do us part."

Origins of Verdana/TahomaDecember 05, 2002
I've noticed the similarities between the Tahoma and Verdana typefaces all along. Despite knowing it's usually a bad practice, I have never felt remorse in using both on a single piece of work.
Verdana is the wide font, Tahoma is the tight font. That's how I distinguished them in my mind. It's never a good idea to bump Tahoma's tracking to something lower than the default, I've found through trial and error. Verdana has a bit of room to maneuver; it has always just felt wider.
I've long known the history of Verdana — commissioned by Microsoft, designed by Matthew Carter (formerly of BitStream) specifically for on–screen use, it is perhaps the most web–friendly font there is due to its strong design and high penetration of the market.
Tahoma was a different matter. I knew it was commonly distributed with Microsoft Office, so I assumed it was another Vincent Connare creation. Probably due to lack of trying, I never found a good answer to my curiosity.
Fast forward to today. I got curious enough to load up Photoshop and compare Verdana to Tahoma, side by side. The results? They're almost the exact same font, distinguished just about solely by their hinting! The results didn't surprise me in the least; the fact that this has gone completely unnoticed for so long by myself did.
In the image below, the two are presented with exactly the same options set: 30px text, a tracking value of 10, and anti–aliasing set to strong. Notice the individual character shapes, compare the stems and bowls, and it becomes pretty obvious the letter-spacing is the only differentiating feature between the two. Verdana is, in fact, slightly wider than Tahoma as well. I initially assumed this was solely due to the hinting, but upon closer inspection the individual letter–forms are a bit wider.
A quick Google search confirmed what my eyes were telling me — Verdana was created by modifying Tahoma. This may not be news to any of you, but it sure is to me.

Good nutritional management is essential to the treatment of
anorexia nervosa. However, there is relatively little guidance on
nutrition available to professionals treating this serious
disorder. This report was produced by a multidisciplinary group
which included specialists in eating disorders in adults and
children, dietitians and experts in clinical nutrition.
Nutrition should always be considered in its psychological context.
Patients require comprehensive physical, nutritional and laboratory
assessment. Aggressive attempts to drive weight gain early in
treatment are potentially dangerous. The first stage of treatment
includes correction of hypoglycaemia, electrolyte disturbance and
dehydration and stabilization of cardiovascular function. The
second stage is the correction of nutrient deficiencies and the
third is correction of body composition. Biochemical disturbances
are common but measurements of electrolytes in the blood may mask a
significant deficit. Electrolyte supplementation is often required
and micronutient supplementation is recommended. Iron supplements
may be dangerous during the early stages of treatment.
A weekly weight gain of 0.5 – 1.0 kg is suggested for in-patients
and 0.5 kg for out-patients. The amount of food should be limited
at first, and increased slowly. The early stages of refeeding are a
high-risk period and close medical monitoring is required.
Refeeding can unmask hidden biochemical deficiencies and
hypophosphataemia may develop rapidly.
Enteral feeding has a limited role. The decision to use it should
be considered carefully as it may be very distressing to the
patient. It may be needed as a life-saving measure but should be
used for the minimum length of time. Enteral feeding requires a
clinical team skilled in its use; detailed advice is
Eating disorders services for children and adolescents should be
staffed by clinicians experienced in work with this group. Anorexia
nervosa can develop without weight loss during a stage of expected
growth. Weight loss may be underestimated if calculated on the BMI
alone and we recommend the use of BMI centiles up to the age of 20.
The management plan should always be presented in an
age-appropriate manner and the patient's co-operation should gained
if possible. The involvement of parents is vital.

Cuomo hits bridge exit just in time
All that, for a traffic study. If nothing else – and, frankly, there wasn't much else – we got a close look at what happens when Hurricane Andrew blows through town.
Thanks to the governor for the education.
The nine-month, Andrew Cuomo-precipitated war over the Peace Bridge ended Wednesday with a whimper. The governor declared victory and portrayed himself a hero upon the settlement of a crisis of his own making.
Ain't politics grand?
The four-page agreement, which required the intervention of steady-handed ambassadors from both countries to craft, was touted by Cuomophiles as a landmark, gridlock-busting moment. Upon closer inspection, it looked like a go-ahead for the same projects the binational Peace Bridge Authority board had greenlighted months before Cuomo rode to the "rescue."
Although a plaza traffic study happens sooner, none of the big pieces is moving forward any faster than they were before. Although they are too polite to crow about it, the Canadians swatted aside Cuomo's attempt to take the reins on the Buffalo plaza redo. Any new, state-run environmental study, the "Understanding" underlined, will not "interfere with any other current or future PBA projects," as the Canadians had feared. And, in case you were wondering, "the PBA will lead and manage this project."
So much for dissolving the bridge authority.
For all of the talk of deadlines, a big one loomed for Cuomo: This morning's monthly meeting of the Bridge Authority, where a $13 million U.S. plaza-approach widening is on the table. As long as the Cuomo-backed "dissolve the PBA" bill loomed in the State Legislature, it hindered the PBA's ability to borrow money for that, or any other project. Unless the Canada-vs.-U.S. stalemate was settled by today's meeting, Cuomo's months-long machinations threatened to officially delay progress, not fast-track it.
"That would have been the consequence of it," confirmed the authority's Canadian chairman, Anthony Annunziata. "As long as that legislation was there, it prevented the authority from securing long-term financing, which would have delayed all of the projects."
Cuomo needed to find an exit before that happened. Once your tactics start gumming up the works, you are perceived not as a change agent, but as an obstructionist. So the timing of this agreement was no coincidence. The clock was ticking. Two American sources close to the negotiations confirmed that Cuomo was in a bind.
"I think the governor was concerned that if nothing was in place before [today's] meeting," said an American insider, "that his strategy could begin to backfire."
"There was the threat of a project delay," said another American source. "That's what moved this forward."
As I wrote a few weeks ago, a likely settlement involved a firming-up of project deadlines, the death of the anti-PBA bill and a binational declaration of victory, along with each country "sacrificing" a PBA board member. Other than the "sacrifice," which may still occur, that's basically what happened.
Yes, there now are proposed target dates on various U.S. plaza-enhancing projects. Yes, there will be a speeded-up traffic study for eventual improvements to the cramped Buffalo plaza. But it looks to me like marginal gains for a lot of broken glass. Timetables were already understood. And study or no study, the plaza cannot be redone, as everyone concedes, until we find out if truck inspection can be moved to Fort Erie – and that's likely two years away.
Some of the language in this four-page "Understanding" is so vague as to be meaningless. The document is pockmarked with the PBA assuring its "best efforts" to get projects done "as soon as possible." At the risk of revealing domestic secrets, those are the same lines I use when my wife wants me to paint the spare bedroom.
As longtime Assemblyman Robin Schimminger, whose status renders him immune to Cuomo's arm-twisting, put it, "This was a controversy that didn't have to happen. Progress on planned improvements at both ends of the bridge, approved unanimously last year by the Public Bridge Authority but stalled by this dispute, can now resume."
Having said that, I think Cuomo rates credit for jumping in and claiming a piece of a historically inert bridge project that other governors ran from. Whatever happens from here on, good or bad, Cuomo has "ownership." The guy, to his credit, does not duck-and-cover.
To most folks, who are not captivated by details of plaza expansions, it may seem like Cuomo whipped those pesky Canadians into line. So be it. But declaring victory is different than actually achieving it. Cuomo contended that the cudgel of a dissolve-the-PBA bill pushed by his legislative pals cowed the Canadians. But he worked out a deal days before his tactics put bridge projects at risk, and – despite his demonizing of the PBA – the Bridge Authority remains in place. He kicked up plenty of dust, bruised feelings on both sides of the border and called in political chits – all for a relatively modest return.
I was not the only one puzzled by the timing of Cuomo's frontal assault. Virtually everything codified by Wednesday's agreement was already in the pipeline. Politically, he may feel that claiming progress on the long-stagnant Peace Bridge – in a region that preferred its favorite-son candidate to him in the last gubernatorial race – is the best way to win our hearts, minds and votes. Beyond that, I think he genuinely wants to get things done – for the good of New Yorkers and, not incidentally, to fuel his political ambitions. All of which is fine.
Whether you like his bare-knuckle style or not, he has, to my mind, broken more Albany gridlock in two-plus years than the previous three governors combined. Gay marriage, minimum wage, gun control, local property tax cap, on-time budgets and the "Buffalo Billion" – Cuomo has claimed impressive pelts. There are plenty of heavy lifts left on his agenda – from legalizing private casinos to solidifying abortion rights. It was time to declare victory on the Peace Bridge and move on. I think he hit the exit just in time.

Ask virtually any handgun enthusiast to describe a Glock pistol and you'll invariably hear words such as simple, reliable, and rugged. Since 72 percent of the nation's law enforcement officers carry Glocks and since Glock enjoyed a 73 percent increase in sales over the past year, you might also hear terms like popular and pervasive. Glock pistols regularly appear in movies and television shows and stoke such brand loyalty that furious rivalries and humorous anecdotes abound. Here's a good one: A 1911 is what you show your friends. A Glock is what you show your enemies.
As for the reliability of Glocks: They just work … Pull the trigger and they go bang—every time. You could describe Glocks as boring—in all the right ways.
As for Glock's advertising slogan, "Perfection" must be something for which the company continually strives. So, Glock's latest rendition of its revolutionary design, the Generation 4 series, must be more perfect than the previous generations. Is it?
Glock started designing pistols in 1980 and the Austrian army approved the Glock 17 (so named because it was the company's 17th patent) for use in 1982. The Glock 17 was obviously a first-generation pistol and visually identified by its smooth, rounded "pebble grip." Second generation Glocks changed to a "grenade-style" checkering on the grips. Third generation Glocks added finger grooves on the grips as well as an accessory rail on the front dustcover. Some Glocks are described as a "Generation 2.5"—a transition model when Glock added finger grooves but no accessory rail. Enter Glock's Generation 4 pistols, or as they are stamped on the slides of these new guns, "Gen4."
Gen4 versions of the Glock 17 and Glock 22 are shipping now. Gen4 versions of the Glock 19 and Glock 23 pistols will ship in June, 2010. After that, Gen 4 versions of the Glock 26 and Glock 27 will ship. Glock National Sales Manager Craig Dutton says this schedule demonstrates Glock's commitment to law enforcement.
According to Dutton, the 2010 Gen4 guns "are a major external and internal re-design of what Glock has offered in the past" and he says the Gen4 pistols offer several major advantages: less recoil due to slower slide velocity; better fit for smaller-handed shooters thanks to the smallest circumference short-grip frame Glock has ever offered and the shortest trigger reach Glock has ever offered; better fit for larger-handed shooters thanks to the two additional "snap-on" full-length backstraps that come with every Glock pistol; easier magazine release manipulation from a new magazine catch that is both three times larger and reversible; great accuracy thanks to a tighter lock-up; and easier-to-grip Gen4 RTF4 frame with pointed "pyramids" instead of checkering.
As important as what's new with the Gen4 is what isn't: It's still the rugged, reliably feeding pistol it's always been. Field stripping is the same as with previous generations. Gen4 pistols will fit Gen3 holsters. Moreover, for law enforcement budget watchers, Dutton says Glock will keep law enforcement pricing the same as it has been since 2000.
The most significant visual differences in the Gen4 pistols and the ones most likely to garner the interest of both law enforcement and the general shooting public are the interchangeable backstraps and the magazine release.

A man who robbed a bank Monday in the Dunning neighborhood on the Northwest Side is also suspected in a Rolling Meadows bank robbery last month, according to the FBI.
Monday about 10:45 a.m., a man entered Popular Community Bank at 7181 W. Irving Park Rd. around 10:45 a.m. and handed the teller a note that read: "Hand over the money." He also told her not to include a GPS device or a dye pack, police said.
The teller tried to slip in a GPS anyway, but he saw it and ordered the teller to take it out, which she did, police said.
He stuffed the cash she gave him into the pocket of the hoodie he was wearing and fled on foot in a southeastern direction from the bank, police.
Police say the incident is listed as an aggravated robbery, but it was not known if he had a weapon. No one was hurt.
A security camera from a nearby Dunkin' Donuts captured photos of the robber and authorities are reviewing them.
The robber was described as a white man between the ages of 30 and 36 and about 6 feet 2 inches tall. He was wearing a blue cap with an unknown emblem, and a dark blue hooded sweatshirt, police said.
The FBI said the same man robbed a TCF Bank branch at 1415 Algonquin Rd. in Rolling Meadows on Oct. 26.
During the earlier robbery he was wearing a dark colored pea coat, a gray hooded sweatshirt and a Cubs baseball hat, according to the FBI.
Anyone with information should contact the FBI, 312-421-6700.

James Naismith's Original Rules of Basket Ball to Be Shown at the Nelson-Atkins
The rules will be on view during March, when the regions excitement about college basketball is at its height, and will be open through May 29.
James Naismith thumbtacked the freshly typed 13 rules for his new game, Basket Ball, to a gymnasium bulletin board in December 1891. Now nearly 120 years later, the public will have a rare chance to see the landmark document that launched a cultural legacy in a display at
The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art
. James Naismiths Original Rules of Basket Ball opens to the public Saturday, March 5, in Kirkwood Hall at the Museum.
At 2 p.m. Friday, March 4, the Nelson-Atkins will unveil the exhibition with a press conference that features David Booth and Suzanne Deal Booth, who purchased the Rules of Basket Ball at a Sothebys auction Dec. 10 for more than $4 million. The selling price exceeded other exceptional items sold the same day, including Robert F. Kennedys copy of the Emancipation Proclamation, signed by Abraham Lincoln, and a battle flag from the Battle of the Little Bighorn, Custers Last Stand.
My family is very proud to bring this important treasure to the Nelson-Atkins, where the rules will be enjoyed by sports fans and museum-goers alike, said Mr. Booth, who lived in Lawrence, Kan., and is a graduate of the University of Kansas.
The rules will be on view during March, when the regions excitement about college basketball is at its height, and will be open through May 29.
The Booths understand the pride, the intensity and the traditions that people in the Midwest hold for their teams, and we are extremely grateful for their generosity in sharing this historic document with our visitors, said Julián Zugazagoitia, who became Menefee D. and Mary Louise Blackwell Director & CEO of the Museum Sept. 1. The Nelson-Atkins is attuned to this part of our cultural fabric, and we all look forward to celebrating James Naismiths entrepreneurship and world legacy.
Seeking out and showcasing humankinds creative genius is at the heart of our mission at the Nelson-Atkins, said Sarah Rowland, chair of the Museums Board of Trustees. Mr. Naismiths invention is a cultural triumph, and we are pleased to make this exhibition accessible to everyone.
During the exhibition, the regions focus on basketball will be at its height. The Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association (MIAA) will hold its basketball championships at Municipal Auditorium March 3-6. The Big 12 Tournament for mens and womens teams will be March 9-12 in Kansas City, and the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) will host its tournament from March 16-22 in Kansas City as well. The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Tournament begins March 15, with rounds in cities throughout the country, culminating in the Final Four and championship April 2 and 4 in Houston.
Ultimately the Rules of Basket Ball are destined for a permanent home in Lawrence, where Naismith was KUs first college basketball coach. Following the purchase by the Booth family, Kansas head coach Bill Self said, Were very happy the Booths were able to pull this off, very proud, and certainly appreciative of what David and Suzanne and the rest of their family have done for this university. The pride in having these rules here in Lawrence will last far longer than any of us will. It will last for many generations.
The 13 basic rules were typed on two sheets of paper, now yellowed with age, so that Naismith could introduce his new game to a group of young men at the International YMCA Training School in Springfield, Mass. He nailed two peach baskets to each end of the first Basket Ball court, and within a matter of days, people were gathering to watch the popular new game.
Its really the genesis, the birth certificate of one of the worlds most popular sports, said Selby Kiffer, senior specialist in American history documents at Sothebys. Its a sport that has had an impact on everything from fashion, such as sneakers, to culture in a way that transcends sports.
The Canadian-born Naismith studied physical education in Montreal before coming to the YMCA in Springfield, Mass., and he was intent on promoting strong moral character. While there, he was asked to develop an indoor game for the winter months that would not take up too much room, could help athletes stay in shape, would be fair for all players and not be too rough. He called his new game Basket Ball.
Naismith joined the KU faculty in 1898 and ironically, remains the universitys only mens basketball coach to ever have a losing record. Through the years, he took great pride in seeing the game develop. When asked if he had attained any wealth as a result, he said, It would be impossible for me to explain my feelings to the great mass of people who ask this question, as my pay has not been in dollars but in the satisfaction of giving something to the world that is a benefit to masses of people.
Naismith died in 1939 and is buried in Lawrence. In the 120 years since he posted rules to his new game, the document has been passed from one generation to the next, until being auctioned in December.

Not too long ago, Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw explained he had found the perfect husband for Lara Croft: Jason Voorhees. They both have way too many sequels all following a default plot, they both murder a lot and spend a lot of time underground, but most of all: none of them will ever just die. In that light, I suggest another husband for Miss Croft: Darl McBride. Instant update: Darl McBride responds. See inside.

The Feminist Majority, along with along with 78 other humanitarian, human rights, and conflict prevention organizations, called upon NATO to expand the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan. NATO will assume control of ISAF in August, but the groups are urging NATO to order an expansion of ISAF now because it takes time to generate and deploy troops. Currently, there are only 4,800 ISAF troops in Afghanistan, and they are limited to the capital city of Kabul.
Increased security is particularly important as the country begins voter registration for the 2004 elections. In addition, Afghan citizens are experiencing increased threats for expressing their political views on the draft constitution, according to the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission. There is concern among Afghan women's rights and human rights leaders and activists that unless security is improved immediately and dramatically, any opportunity for peace, democracy, and women's rights will soon come to end. The vast majority of women in Afghanistan continue to wear the burqa because of fear and lack of security in the country.
"Expansion of international peacekeeping troops is necessary to make sure voter registration and the electoral process themselves are fair and democratic, especially for women," said Eleanor Smeal, president of the Feminist Majority. "Last year, Congress passed the Afghan Freedom Support Act authorizing increased reconstruction financing and peace troop expansion. President Bush signed it into law. But where is the financing and where are the peace troops?" she wrote in a New York Times letter to the editor. "Women and girls are the first victims: warlords in some areas are placing Taliban-like restrictions on women, and more than a dozen girls' schools have suffered violent attacks by fundamentalists."
The Feminist Majority continues to lead the call for peace troop expansion, increased reconstruction funding, and for more resources to support the work of the Ministry of Women's Affairs and the Independent Human Rights Commission.

Feed prices are projected to be lower next year, but dairy producers are likely to respond slowly as milk prices remain flat to lower, USDA's Economic Research Service says in its latest "Livestock, Dairy and Poultry Outlook."
Higher stocks of dairy products--especially this year and carrying into next year-- will likely pressure prices downward, USDA adds.
The 2013 All-Milk price was lowered this month to $19.50-$19.80 per cwt. and to $18.70-$19.70 per cwt. for 2014.
The 2013 milk production forecast was raised slightly in July. Second-quarter estimated production was higher than forecast last month, and milk production is expected to remain slightly higher for the remainder of the year. Production is forecast at 202.0 billion pounds for 2013 and at 204.5 billion pounds in 2014, unchanged from June's forecast.
Producers will see lower feed prices into 2014, but milk prices are forecast slightly lower as well. The net effect should be a modest expansion in milk production by late next year.
Current year fat basis imports were unchanged in July at 4.1 billion pounds and are expected to hold at 4.1 billion pounds in 2014. This year's skim-solids basis imports were lowered to 5.5 billion pounds as the pace of milk protein concentrate imports lags last year. Imports are forecast at 5.4 billion pounds for 2014, unchanged from June's forecast.
Current-year fat basis exports were raised this month to 10.1 billion pounds. Monthly cheese exports led 2012 exports through April and were just slightly behind May 2012. Butterfat exports rebounded in May after a steep fall off in April, contributing to a more optimistic 2013 export total.
Fat basis exports are forecast at 10.3 billion pounds for 2014, unchanged from last month. Growth in global demand for dairy products and less foreign competition are the bases for the forecast. Current-year skim-solids exports were raised in July to 36.6 billion pounds but were unchanged in 2014 from the June forecast at 36.4 billion pounds. Nonfat dry milk (NDM) exports shot up in April and May leading to the higher 2013 export forecast. Whey product exports year-to-date have been leading the corresponding 2012 monthly totals and advanced sharply in May, further bolstering the forecast.
Fat-basis ending stocks were raised from June forecasts and remain high by historic standards. The most recent Cold Storage report placed cheese stocks above last year's stocks. Butter stocks especially seem to be accumulating. Fat-basis ending stocks were raised to 13.7 billion pounds. A continued increase in both domestic and foreign demand for dairy products is expected to draw down 2014 ending stocks to 12.8 billion pounds. Skim-solids stocks are forecast at 13.0 billion pounds for the current year, slipping to 12.8 billion pounds by the end of 2014. In May, NDM stocks were above both a month earlier and a year earlier.
Cheese prices were lowered fractionally in July to $1.735-$1.765 per pound for the current year. Cheese prices are expected to decline to $1.630-$1.730 per pound in 2014. Butter prices are forecast at $1.515-$1.575 per pound in 2013 and at $1.450-$1.580 per pound in 2014; both downward revisions from June forecasts.
Higher stocks of these products--especially this year and carrying into next year-- will likely pressure prices. Despite higher stocks, price prospects for NDM reflect continued strong export demand for dry milk products and reduced supplies from the European Union. The NDM price is projected at $1.615-$1.645 per pound, an increase from last month for the current year, and at $1.585-$1.655 per pound next year, unchanged from June. Whey prices are unchanged from the June forecast at 58.5-60.5 cents per pound this year and 56.5-59.5 cents per pound for 2014.
Class III milk prices were lowered slightly in July to $ 17.65-$17.95 per cwt. reflecting the lower forecast cheese price. Next year, the Class III price is projected to slip to $16.60-$17.60 per cwt. on weaker expected cheese prices. The Class IV price forecast was unchanged this month, but the price range was narrowed to $18.20-$18.60 per cwt. Next year's Class IV price also lowered from the June forecast to $17.65-$18.75 per cwt. based on lower forecast butter prices. The prospect of higher forecast milk production in 2014 compared with 2013 will also pressure prices downward. The 2013 All-Milk price was lowered this month to $19.50-$19.80 per cwt. and to $18.70-$19.70 per cwt. for 2014.

TAARII (formerly the American Association for Research in Baghdad, AARB) has been established to promote scholarly research on and in Iraq and ancient Mesopotamia. The Institute, a consortium of American universities and museums, intends to establish a multidisciplinary American scholarly research center in Iraq when conditions permit. TAARII raises funds for graduate and post-graduate fellowships for Americans to work on Iraq in as broad a range of disciplines as possible. It also has a fellowship program for Iraqi academics to aid them in carrying out research in Iraq. TAARII initiates its own research projects and fosters joint projects between American and Iraqi academics. Like similar American overseas research centers, TAARII has as its primary focus the humanities and social sciences, as well as closely related natural sciences, but it will facilitate outstanding research in any legitimate academic field.

The how-to book I bought is too heavy, too long.
I'm getting these Underground flip flops at Stanfords and the Mona Lisa flip flops in the Louvre gift shop (to wear in New York only)
I am laughing!! I-phones can't be that complicated! I prefer them instead of Blackberries. Let us know what you decided.
Where's the French girl? Went home already?
I can't even imagine a trip right now, the way it's cold and wet here in OH, I only want to stay indoors.
Take care Carol!
I love the Métro stuff! I know that somewhere you can get a watch with your favourite Métro line (mine is most definitely the 6) around the band - and your favourite stop (a toss up between Denfert-Rochereau and Glacières) as the watch face, if you wanted more Métro paraphernalia!
That final pic of the flip flops kinda' gives a whole new meaning to the idea of "stepping out." I'm trying to envision you taking yours off to see if you're heading in the right direction.ReplyDelete
ROFL!! I have a great idea for you - go to Zazzle and have them print the Paris subway map on a t-shirt. Here is the important part: have it printed UPSIDE DOWN so you have only to glance down to read the info you want.ReplyDelete
I am still chuckling over this post. I say go with the upside down printed T shirt.. might be an interesting way to meet shed keepers! LOLReplyDelete
I've always loved maps. I like all of yours here. Fun!ReplyDelete
You are one of a kind! :-)ReplyDelete
Well at least you managed to download the apps. I can't even work out how to do that! I'll stick to les torchons (tea-towels.)ReplyDelete
Ugh,phone stuff is frustrating! But your maps are beautiful :-) I'm partial to handheld maps myself.ReplyDelete
It would make my day to see someone consulting a tea-towel for guidance in the metro - fantastic idea, though yes, perhaps not so practical in rush hour!
Carol, when are you in London, it would be lovely to meet if you have a moment ...
Have a lovely trip, Carol!ReplyDelete
This was hysterical! I had those metro placemats in the shop! Just having been on the metro sweating my !&*%! off, I can say your intentions were admirable!!!!Maryanne xoReplyDelete
this made me laugh! out loud :DReplyDelete
If only I was 8 I could do it too..
Where are you Roseanne?
Where is an 8 yr old to give me lessons?
Do I want to be crossing the streets with my head in an ipod Touch?

Doug Donoghue honoured with Life Membership
3 May 2013
AOC: For over 20 years Doug Donoghue AM has watched over the finances of the Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) and as he prepares to stand down he has been awarded life membership of the AOC as a fitting tribute to his contribution to the Olympic Movement.
His involvement in sport started as a rower at Sydney Boys High and later as a rower and coach at Sydney Rowing Club.
Outside of sport he made his mark in the oil industry where he became an Executive Director of Ampol Limited. That experience enabled him rise to the top of the AOC holding key positions in the finance area.
In 1993 he was based in Paris as a key member of the lobby team trying to win Sydney's bid for the 2000 Olympic Games. He helped develop the Sydney 2000 Candidature Budget and later monitored the SOCOG budget for the AOC.
"After being involved in the Melbourne bid and the disappointment of missing out on the Games, it was a tremendous thrill to be part of Sydney's success," he said.
In 1993 he became a member of the Executive Board of the AOC. He is currently the Chairman of the AOC Finance Commission, a member of the AOC Audit Committee and a member of the AOC Remuneration & Nominations Committee.
The Australian Olympic Foundation (AOF) has been one of Donoghue's greatest involvements. He has been a member of the AOF Investment Advisory Committee since its inception in 1996. Since the 2000 Sydney Games, Donoghue and the Investment Advisory Committee have grown the capital base of the AOF from $109m to $121.4m. But more importantly, during that time, the AOF has made distributions of $81.5m to the AOC for the benefit of Australian athletes competing at the Olympic Games.
"It has been extremely rewarding to work with my colleagues on the Investment Advisory Committee," he said. "For them to raise $81m for the benefit of athletes is a great achievement and I thank them for their wise counsel."
All through his time at the AOC, Donoghue has worked closely with the AOC President, John Coates, who is also Chairman of the Foundation.
"For over two decades Doug has been key to the AOC's financial operations," Coates said. "He has kept his involvement very low key but his contribution has played a major role in the success of Australia's Olympic Teams."
His support of Australia's Olympic athletes started way back in 1983 when he became the Deputy Chair of the NSW Olympic Council's dedicated Fundraising Committee - a position he still holds today - taking in Los Angeles 1984, Seoul 1988, Barcelona 1992, Atlanta 1996, Sydney 2000, Athens 2004, Beijing 2008 and London 2012. During this time the NSW Olympic Council has raised in excess of $15 million for Australian Olympic Teams.
That resulted in Life Membership of the New South Wales Olympic Council in 2012.
Donoghue is also a Member of the Venue Advisory Committee of Sydney International Regatta Centre; former Director of Rowing Australia, former Vice President of the NSW Rowing Association; previous Member of the Trust, State Sports Centre, and previous Member NSW Sports Advisory Council.
Prior to his role on the AOC's Executive Board, Donoghue was a rowing commentator for ABC Radio at the Montreal 1976 Olympic Games and commentator for Network 10 for rowing and canoeing at Los Angeles 1984 Games and again in Seoul in 1988.
He will now have more time to spend at his beloved Bondi Beach.

Michael Jackson's sister La Toya has penned a heartfelt tribute to her late brother.
In a blog post on her official Web site titled, "Mike, you will always be in my dreams!" the star wrote directly to the King of Pop, who died on June 25.

"Michael, after 50 years of waiting, God has finally called you home to do what you do best," she began. "He shared your extraordinary talent with us all for many decades and now it's time for you to spread your wings to a much higher level, which of course I know you will do, and join the other angels and give them an incredible eternal performance."
La Toya, who released a single dedicated to Michael, "Home," earlier this week, hoped that he would "keep the angels smiling, Joker!"

"I love you deeply and I can't wait to see you perform again!" she added. "Mike, you will always be in my dreams! I LOVE YOU SO VERY! VERY! VERY! VERY! MUCH!"
Earlier this week, La Toya spoke out again, releasing a statement praising a planned Las Vegas tribute concert to Michael, to be held on his birthday, August 29.
"On behalf of my entire family, I wish you great success with your event," she wrote.

There have been some popular posts in this blog describing the use of Eclipse, PyDev and monkeyrunner. However, I have received a lot of questions regarding the definition of the interpreter and perhaps it requires a little deep explanation.
Even though monkeyrunner is a Jython interpreter, to successfully use it from PyDev you have to identify it as plain Python.
This screenshot shows the definition of the interpreter which coincidentally, we called monkeyrunner.
Following these steps you would have no problems using monkeyrunner from PyDev.
Hope this helps.

I am going to give you a good laugh, but don't laugh loud enough for me to hear! I read words like LOL, ROFL, BTF etc. I am not at all used to them. Can you tell me what they are?
You promised me not to laugh!
Feeling shy
You are not alone. I too am rather new to all this, however, after consulting the orracle that is my 11 yo daughter; LOL= laugh(ed) out loud. ROFL=Roll on floor laughing. BTF, on the other hand, drew a blank. I shall hopefully have enlightenment when the font of all wisdom and knowlege stays with me this weekend.
Rolling on floor laughing my ass off peeing in my pants.
LOL - laughing out loud
BTW - by the way
IMHO - In my humble opinion

The following statement was issued today by Indiana Secretary of State Todd Rokita.
Over the last year my office has been conducting an extensive criminal investigation into the 2001 share exchange transaction between IPALCO Enterprises, Inc. ("IPALCO") and AES Corporation.
To date, our attorneys and investigators have reviewed more than 100,000 documents and five civil depositions and have conducted approximately 38 hours of personal interviews in an attempt to ascertain whether any violations of the Indiana Securities Act occurred in connection with the share exchange or the events that preceded it. The investigation is continuing.
Many individuals have cooperated fully with this investigation. After a thorough review of the documentary evidence and interviews, depositions and statements accumulated to date, our investigative staff has determined that there does not appear to be a justifiable reason to focus further specific attention upon these non-employee former members of the IPALCO Board of Directors: Joseph D. Barnette, Jr.; Daniel Coats; Mitchell Daniels, Jr.; Michael S. Maurer; Andrew J. Paine; and Sallie W. Rowland. This should not be interpreted to imply that any conclusion of any kind has been reached regarding any other individual.
While I cannot elaborate on the specifics of the criminal investigation, or on the forthcoming actions my office will take, I assure the employees, retirees, and former shareholders of IPALCO that this criminal investigation, in its new phase, will continue to be of the highest priority for my office.

As I wrote two weeks ago, I consider the QA related changes in Ubuntu 12.04 a great success. But while we will continue and even extend our efforts there, this is not where the ball stops: it's great to have the feedback cycle between "break it" and "notice the bug" reduced from potentially a few months to one day in many cases, but wouldn't it be cool to reduce that to a few minutes, and also put the machinery right at where stuff really happens — into the upstream trunks? If for every commit to PyGObject, GTK, NetworkManager, udisks, D-BUS, telepathy, gvfs, etc. we'd immediately build and test all reverse dependencies and the committer would be told about regressions?
I have had the desire to work on automated tests in Linux Plumbing and GNOME for quite a while now. Also, after 8 years of doing distribution work of packaging and processes (tech lead, release engineering/management, stable release updates, etc.) I wanted to shift my focus towards technology development. So I've been looking for a new role for some time now.
It seems that time is finally there: At the recent UDS, Mark announced that we will extend our QA efforts to upstream. I am very happy that in two weeks I can now move into a role to make this happen: Developing technology to make testing easier, work with our key upstreams to set up test suites and reporting, and I also can do some general development in areas that are near and dear to my heart, like udev/systemd, udisks, pygobject, etc. This work will be following the upstream conventions for infrastructure and development policies. In particular, it is not bound by Canonical copyright license agreements.
I have a bunch of random ideas what to work on, such as:
- Making it possible/easier to write tests with fake hardware. E. g. in the upower integration tests that I wrote a while ago there is some code to create a fake sysfs tree which should really go into udev itself, available from C and introspection and be greatly extended. Also, it's currently not possible to simulate a uevent that way, that's something I'd like to add. Right now you can only set up /sys, start your daemon, and check the state after the coldplugging phase.
- Interview some GNOME developers what kind of bugs/regressions/code they have most trouble with and what/how they would like to test. Then write a test suite with a few working and one non-working case (bugzilla should help with finding these), discuss the structure with the maintainer again, find some ways to make the tests radically simpler by adding/enhancing the API available from gudev/glib/gtk, etc. E. g. in the tests for apport-gtk I noticed that while it's possible to do automatic testing of GUI applications it is still way harder than it should and needs to be. I guess that's the main reason why there are hardly any GUI tests in GNOME?
- I've heard from several people that it would be nice to be able to generate some mock wifi/ethernet/modem adapters to be able to automatically test NetworkManager and the like. As network devices are handled specially in Linux, not in the usual
/devand sysfs manner, they are not easy to fake. It probably needs a kernel module similar to scsi_debug, which fakes enough of the properties and behaviour of particular nmetwork card devices to be useful for testing. One could certainly provide a pipe or a regular bridge device at the other end to actually talk to the application through the fake device. (NB this is just an idea, I haven't looked into details at all yet).
- For some GUI tests it would be much easier if there was a very simple way of providing mocks/stubs for D-BUS services like udisks or NetworkManager than having to set up the actual daemons, coerce them into some corner-case behaviour, and needing root privileges for the test due to that. There seems to be some prior art in Ruby, but I'd really like to see this in D-BUS itself (perhaps a new library there?), and/or having this in GDBus where it would even be useful for Python or JavaScript tests through gobject-introspection.
- There are nice tools like the Clang static code analyzer out there. I'd like to play with those and see how we can use it without generating a lot of false positives.
- Robustify jhbuild to be able to keep up with building everything largely unattended. Right now you need to blow away and rebuild your tree way too often, due to brittle autotools or undeclared dependencies, and if we want to run this automatically in Jenkins it needs to be able to recover by itself. It should be able to keep up with the daily development, automatically starting build/test jobs for all reverse dependencies for a module that just has changed (and for basic libraries like GLib or GTK that's going to be a lot), and perhaps send out mail notifications when a commit breaks something else. This also needs some discussion first, about how/where to do the notifications, etc.
Other ideas will emerge, and I hope lots of you have their own ideas what we can do. So please talk to me! We'll also look for a second person to work in that area, so that we have some capacity and also the possibility to bounce ideas and code reviews between each other.

Text: Isaiah 23:1-18, Isaiah 24:1-23, Romans 1:18-23, Philippians 2:5-11
On a sunny day in January, I stood at the very end of a jetty on Newport Beach. (I don't live in California, but I'll take a work trip to the left coast in the middle of winter every year, please and thank you.) I hadn't originally wanted to walk all the way to the end of the jetty, out where the water gets deep and the waves crash. There were so many jagged-edged rocks, and I know my own proclivity toward injury. I also have a thing with sharks (that thing being a massive fear of sharks), so the whole experience seemed less than enjoyable.
But I wanted to see the view from there. It felt like it might mean something to me. So I cautiously walked out. It was probably only thirty yards long, but it took me a few minutes to maneuver my way down the rocks. The view was beautiful, and I was right: it was worth the trek. I stood there—Ellie Holcomb's latest album, Red Sea Road, in my ears—watching the ocean, while somehow standing right in the middle of it. I was so glad I'd made the effort.
That is, until the waves started to crash, each one a little wilder than the last. As I watched them roll in and out with increasing force, I became nervous, pushing my hands out in front of me like a crossing guard and saying out loud, "Okay, waves, be cool. Settle down."
And then I heard a tiny giggle behind me.
Unbeknownst to me, a family had walked out to the end of the jetty as well. The son, no older than seven, was standing right behind me. "You can't boss the ocean like that," he said to me, laughing. And I laughed, too, though admittedly a little embarrassed.
But he was right: I can't control the waves. I know I can't. (But it felt good to try.) And yet, when life presents those walk-to-the-edge-of-the-jetty opportunities, I'm game. I get "brave," then act as if I can control what happens next. As soon as something gets uncomfortable—like those waves crashing a little too high for my liking—I want to take control.
It seems like this is all God wants to talk with me about these days: control, and my lack of it. And my continual persistence in trying to prove to Him that I've got everything under control, thankyouverymuch.
But I don't. So I constantly find myself returning to Him, confessing those moments when I grasp for the reins, then gently allowing His Word, His voice, to remind me that me being out of control isn't all that bad. Because in reality, He's been in control all along.
Admitting my lack of control is just an admission of what's true: God controls all the things. Nothing is out of His grasp or view. Not oceans or governments, the weather or my heart. I'm never really flailing or falling—I'm held, kept. No matter how chaotic life feels, the waves will not overtake me. The One whose hand stretched out over the ocean waters—the One who created them—can surely calm them (Isaiah 23:11; 48:13). Nothing moves without His knowledge.
I can't stand before the sea and tell the waves which way to roll. But He can. The same power that raised Christ from the dead is at work in my life (Romans 8:11). I can't heal my own heart, save the lost, right the wrongs, or calm the storm—in me, in my home, or in the world. But He can. And He does. Because He holds all things together.
