BUENOS AIRES (JTA) - A new group calling itself the Argentine National Socialist Front has circulated a letter in Buenos Aires claiming re¬ sponsibility for the bombings Aug. 27 of two Buenos Aires synagogues and a drugstore. The letter, which pro¬ claimed t an all-out war against a "Jewish-Bolshevik plutocracy," and \Vhich blamed Argentina's 600^000-member Jewish com¬ munity for the country's growing economic problems, was denounced by an Argen¬ tine government spokesman as the work of "an unimpor¬ tant minority." The spokes¬ man also Was quoted as saving the hew group was "trying to create fear and a fictitious state of instability to frighten away foreign , investment." The letter, signed FNSA, the group's initials in Spanish, said the bombings of the Jewish institutions marked the opening .Of a campaign of "diverse puni¬ tive operations against- important elements of inter¬ national Judaism." The letter also said the group was thus identifying "those ibility For Bombings iAi WASHINGTON, (JTA)—Morris B. Abram, former U. S. representative to the UN Human Rights Commission, has charged that restrictive and inflexible American immigration policies sealed the fate of European Jews exterminated by the Nazis in World Wai: II. He urged that the President be- given discretion to vary "immigration policies for the victims of genocide to, avoid a similar disaster in the future. Testifying before the House Foreign . Policy Research and Development Subcommittee, Abram, a New York attorney who is honorary president' of the American Jewish Committee, also urged Congress to ratify the UN ,'Genocide Convention, to maintain "absolutely firm and unmistakeable commitments to the security of Israel," and to adopt legislation ' aimed at preventing discrimination against American citizens and firms resulting from the Arab boycott. Abr,am urged that the U. S. maintain'^ a flexible immigration policy with yrespect,"fo>. victims of,. genocide and an "unyielding position against genocide on behalf of human rights." He charged that almost no voices were raised against the" murder by Indonesia of ^ one-half to three-quarter" million of its citizens after the overthrow of President Sukarno. Likewise, he pointed out that UN bodies were "very quiet" when the Ibos were being slaughtered during the - Nigerian rebellion a few years back. . Turning to U. S.' failure to - help European Jews survive, Abram charged that the State Department had reliable information on Hitler's plans to exterminate . all Jews as early aS 1942. However, he added, both the ~ U. S, and Britain rejected requests for' - cooperation in rescue efforts during the war and immigration officials here so' , administered the law that few Jewish refugees from Germany were permitted entry into this country. Tracing the rise of the Nazis to power in Germany and Europe, Abram declared that there were many opportunities' "to chain this criminal state (CONTINUEOOU PAfiE,Ul who are principally respon¬ sible for the Argentine dis¬ aster and national disinte¬ gration" and thdt its "war" would end only with "the ex¬ termination of the Jewish? Bolshevik-plutocracy." The government spokes-' man also said Aug! ,31 that a decision could be expected' within the next two weeks on demands for a government ban on distribution of bound' reprints of Hitler's speeches distributed by Editorial Mili- cia, a publishing house which also has issued re¬ prints of the notorious Proto¬ cols of the Elders of Zion. The complaints were made by the Argentine Catholic Church through Criterio, its monthly magazine, and'by the DAIA, the. central representative agency of Argentine Jewry. The government spokes¬ man was quoted as saying "we agree that something must be done to avoid this type of publication that tries to divide the people and, create conflict." - A liberal? Buenos'' Afres" paper, L'Opinion, which pub¬ lished the FNSA letter, was also the .target of an at¬ tempted bombing Aug. 27, according to its Jewish pub¬ lisher, Jacobo Timerman. He said in an article in L'Opinion that his life had now, been threatened by both the extreme right and left. Meanwhjle the DAIA re¬ ported Aug. 31 that its office in Cordoba had protested to authorities against the bombing of the Sephardic Club building in Cordoba. The blast caused heavy damage to the building. No casualties were reported. The DAIA, also providing details on the bombings51 of the two synagogues in Buenos Aires, said the ex- pldsiyes were placed outside the jvlurillo Street Temple and the Sephardic Com¬ munity Center on Cama- gargo Street. The blasts caused damage to the main gates of the syna¬ gogues and to the masonry and broke all the windows in.' the two synagogues. One blast tore a hole more than a yard wide in a wall of the Murillo Street synagogue. Police were investigating the bombings.

All News Releases By Date
EPA Administrator Jackson Visits Gulf Coast on One-Year Anniversary of the BP Oil Spill / Administrator Jackson Surveys Ecosystem Restoration Progress
Release Date: 04/20/2011
Contact Information: EPA Press Office, email@example.com
WASHINGTON – On the one-year anniversary of the explosion that led to the BP oil spill, EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson spent the day in her hometown of New Orleans, surveying ecosystem restoration progress and discussing her work to preserve and restore the gulf with community members and local conservation groups.
Administrator Jackson, who chairs the Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Task Force, began the day by touring marshes and wetlands along the Louisiana and Mississippi coasts. She later joined a group of community members for a tour of a successful marsh restoration project at Bayou Dupont. The project involved the dredging of 2.7 million cubic yards of sediment from a sandbar on the Mississippi River to create hundreds of acres of new land that can help absorb potential storm surges and, eventually, serve as the foundation for thriving ecosystems.
"It was important to me to be in my hometown of New Orleans on the anniversary of the rig explosion that claimed 11 lives and led to the largest oil spill in our nation's history," EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson said. "It was inspiring to see some of the recovery work that is already taking place and be reminded of the resolve of the people here. With the memory of this tragedy still clear in our minds, we are dedicated to working with gulf residents to rebuild this region, restore its fragile wetlands that are the foundation of the gulf's thriving ecosystem, and re-envision a better future for gulf communities."
President Obama issued an executive order in October 2010 to create the Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Task Force and appointed Administrator Jackson chair. The task force works to integrate federal restoration efforts with those of local stakeholders and state and tribal governments, and to facilitate accountability and support throughout the restoration process.
EPA also announced today the award of grant funding to local organizations supporting health and environmental education and outreach to communities affected by the oil spill.

Gombe Stream National Park is a small (52 square kilometers) nature reserve on a thin forest strip in western Tanzania. It was established in 1968. The landscape of the park includes valleys, and the forest ranges from grassland to sparse forest to thick rainforest. There are also a lot of water systems, including rivers and the famous Lake Tanganyika. The park is about 25 kilometers from the city of Kigoma which you can reach from Dar or Arusha by flying, from Dar or Mwanza by train, from Mwanza, Dar and Mbeya by roads and from Mpulungu by ferry. From Kigoma you can reach Gombe by taxi or by boat.
The most well known animal in the park are the chimpanzees, but there is a vast diversity of other monkeys as well, including red-tailed and red colobus, vervet monkeys an baboons. Also many other animals typical to this kind of environment can be seen in Gombe, including leopards, bushpigs, snakes, hippopotamus and over 200 different species of birds.
Gombe was made famous by the groundbreaking chimpanzee research made by Jane Goodall. Also the location where Henry Stanley famously found David Livingstone in 1871 with the famous "Dr Livingstone I presume" is located close by at Ujiji near Kigoma. Gombe is a very popular tourist attraction. Things to do include trekking, hiking, swimming and snorkeling. The best time to see the famous chimpanzees is during the wet season (February-June and November-mid December). It can however be quite expensive to visit to park. In addition to the cost of getting there you are typically looking at costs including a $100 per person entry fee, $10 guide fee per group, $10 tip for guide, about $40 for food and $20 for accommodation per person.
As in many natural reserves in Africa the wildlife of the park is under a threat by human activity and wildlife populations are diminishing. Lands occupied by locals often hinder animals from traveling between protected grounds. Locals often live in quite poor conditions and hunt wildlife for food, to protect their crops or for safety reasons.
Jane Goodalls famous research began in 1960. She established a research station in Gombe where she spent months tracking and observing the chimpanzees. She was very interested in behavior, emotions and personality of her subjects and bonds between the chimpanzees. She also made the groundbreaking finding that chimpanzees use tools when hunting termites out of their nests. She also observed very aggressive behavior from the chimpanzees, including hunting and killing other monkeys and violence inside groups of chipamzees.

Exclusive, intimate and social.
That's how the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge spent their last night in Australia - mingling with sports and rock stars, soldiers and world record breakers at their home-away-from-home in Canberra.
They've met many Australians on their tour but Kate and William's last formal reception was with young high achievers at government house in Yarralumla.
Governor General Peter Cosgrove no doubt echoed everyone's thoughts when he told the royal couple: "They're all eager to meet you."
Former world surfing champion Layne Beachley and her husband, INXS rocker Kirk Pengilly, were the first to speak to Prince William, while Kate chose to first greet Victoria Cross recipient, SAS Trooper Mark Donaldson.
He and his fellow VC recipients Corporals Daniel Keighran and Ben Roberts-Smith were among four Australians awarded the honour for their actions in Afghanistan. Corporal Cameron Baird was awarded the VC posthumously earlier this year.
Australia's fourth surviving VC recipient, Keith Payne, was not in attendance.
The governor general said it was fortunate Australia would have the royals as company at Anzac Day services in Canberra on Friday.
World record breaking sailor Jessica Watson was among the guests, brightening the formal gathering in a blue and white dress as the royal couple walked by her into the reception.
Dual international soccer player and cricketer Ellyse Perry echoed the duchess's white cocktail dress by US designer Lela Rose with a cream and white sheer number, while retiring soccer player Harry Kewell had his beaming wife, English actress Sheree Murphy, by his side.
Football Federation Australia chief executive David Gallop sipped champagne as he patiently waited to greet Kate and William.
There was no sign of Prince George however, who apparently slept peacefully a few doors away from the gathering in the drawing room.
The event capped off a busy day for the duke and duchess.
After playing with children and planting a tree at Canberra's National Arboretum, they charmed ministers, dignitaries and corporate leaders at Parliament House.
They then weaved their way through the National Portrait Gallery to view some of its prized portraits - where at one point Kate came face to face with a portrait of Australia's homegrown royalty, Danish Crown Princess Mary.

Most of you have probably heard of or seen a Packeteer . Now some of you have had the pleasure of using a packeteer. What I want to know is if there is a way to avoid the high costs of purchasing a packeteer and creating my own.
I dont want to invest very much money into this at all but I would like to use one of my existing computers (install any flavor of OS...ie. linux, windows...etc) I want the ability to both see what kind of traffic is going on in my network and on the same note I also want to be able to limit traffic, use it to help block ports, and stop different forms of traffic.
Background info:
This will be used in my home network
I can have a dedicated machine to do this
I would prefer it to run like this cable modem>router>packet machine>switch>internal network
or modem>shaper>router>internal network
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated

Hayate the Combat Butler {Hayate no Gotoku!} generic discussion
Production Company: Synergy SP
Genre: Romance, Comedy
Expected Release Date: 2007
Website: http://hayatenogotoku.com/
I was searching on another series that lead me to this blog where I read about this upcoming series. The description of the characters in the blog had my attention immediately. After doing a search for a thread in the ASuki forums yielded Eggplant's post on the upcoming anime adaptation of the series in New Announced Anime thread. The news makes me happy even though I practically knew nothing of the series up until recently.
The series is based on a manga by Hata Kenjirou that is serialised in Shounen Sunday. The list of cast as follows:
Ayasaki Hayate: Shiraishi Ryouko
Sanzenin Nagi: Kugimiya Rie
Maria: Tanaka Rie
Katsura Hinagiku: Itou Shizuka
OP theme song: "Hayate no Gotoku!" by KOTOKO
ED theme song: "Proof" by MELL
I have read several synopsis on the subject but I believe ANN has captured the most amusing description as it reads in the following:
With a debt of 1.5 million, 16-year old Hayate Ayasaki's parents sell him to the yakuza to pay it off. Not wanting to be cut up and sold on the black market, Hayate escapes from the yakuza thugs, and finds a very rich girl by the name of Nagi wandering in a park at night. Deciding to kidnap the girl for ransom money, Hayate's kidnapping speech was wrongly taken as a confession of love to Nagi. She finds out about the debt, and, feeling sorry for Hayate, pays it off, as long as Hayate will be her butler until he pays off the 1.5 million (which will take about 40 years).Will update when more information is known. Looking forward to it!
edit: [Jan 13, 2007] Updated cast info, thanks to Siegel Clyne!!!
edit 2: [Mar 2, 2007] Updated website url, and OP & ED theme title. Thanks goes to NeoSam and Siegel Clyne!
edit 3: [Mar 12, 2007 Updated the name of the Animation Production company, and all thanks to me!!

Unfortunately, the source of all this, the 25th world hobby fair site, deleted the part about the Hayate announcement soon after it was put up on the webpage. This means that the info was either false to begin with, or it was not meant to be announced at this point.
In any case, as of right now, a Hayate anime is still unconfirmed.
Edit: Personally, I'm leaning towards (hoping for) the latter though. I think we'll hear something more concrete soon.

Personally, I'm hoping Sunrise gets to helm this...or at least Studio Comet. Sunrise has a very solid track record with manga adaptions of similar approaches and know their references, even to points of adding extra references (( cause they're Sunrise ))/exagerrating the references to great amusing extremes. Keroro Gunsou, Yakitate Japan (( LoTR anyone? )) and Gintama for one were very good.
Similarly, Studio Comet's work on School Rumble were solid as well.

In term of details through I don't thing and faithfulness to the original story through i dont think anyone is going to beat Kyoani.
JC staff for some reason is high on my list too, For one reason or other I image the voice of Kugimiya Rie as Nagi, and Satoshi san as Hayate, and Maria unconditionally goes to Horie Yui

It's Mariel... err... Maria
Hayate the Combat Butler (Hayate no Gotoku!) Cast(?)
Tanaka Rie has a penchant for cosplaying and has dressed up as many of the characters she plays in anime, games, and whatnot: Lacus Clyne from Gundam Seed~Destiny; Meer Campbell from Gundam Seed Destiny; Suigintou from Rozen Maiden~Traumend~Ouverture; [Dark] Chii from Chobits; Simca from Air Gear; Sanada-san (Ms. Sanada) from UFO Princess Valkyrie~ (UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie~); Mariel from Hanaukyou Maidtai~La Verite (Hanaukyo Maid Team~La Verite); Saki from The Steel Angel Kurumi; Karen Erra from Phantasy Star Universe ... and, apparently, Maria from Hayate the Combat Butler (Hayate no Gotoku!).
Pics from Her Blog of Tanaka Rie Dressed Up as a Maid at Her Cafe de Rie TEA PARTY in Osaka, Japan, December 10, 2006

Mariel... err... Maria is a maid.
Tanaka Rie apparently likes dropping hints, here and there, on her upcoming but yet unannounced roles. One recent example comes immediately to mind.
Just before she announced on her blog in early August 2006 that she had landed the role of Matsukata Hiroko, the main character in the Hataraki-Man anime, Japanese fans noticed shots of Tanaka Rie making gestures of smoking cigarettes.
Matsukata is a heavy smoker.
In the past, Tanaka Rie has played a number of maids, or characters who wear maid uniforms - e.g., Mariel, Sanada-san, Saki, Towa(-chan) in DNAngel - plus there is the current maid cafe craze in Japan, among other things, so it did not seem to mean much for her dressing up as a maid at a recent tea party.
One wonders, then, if the following pics hint at any upcoming roles for Tanaka Rie - if they hint at anything at all.

When will the after market filters be available? Will the existing ones fit the new housings?
What is the bit rate available? 3D package options etc.
Please Wetpixel satisfy my surprising need for answers.
Alternatively ship one to me and I'll do a review...

I have worked as an unpaid reviewer for the editing websites since 2002. Most all hardware and software is sent to me free of charge, however, in no way am I obligated to provide either positive or negative evaluations. Any suggestions I make regarding products are a result of my own, completely, personal opinions and experiences with said products.

We are expecting to receive our first shipment of "White" and "Silver" GoPro Hero 3 cameras next week, and the "Black" version will apparently ship around mid November. Berkley White managed to get ahold of a Silver Hero 3 and just left for the Maldives where he will do some testing with it.
I'm not sure if the bitrates for the new Hero 3 cameras has been released yet, but the Silver and Black editions both feature the "Protune" codec which is 35Mbit on the Hero 2 via firmware upgrade, so probably at least that high on the new cameras. Perhaps the most exciting thing about the Hero 3 Black edition are its high frame rates, including 1080p/60p, and 720p/120p. This makes it a really interesting option for doing slow motion effects very inexpensively.
We are actively studying the Hero 3 and plan to adapt our Flip Magic Filter for it in the very near future. The front flat port of the housing is significantly smaller than on the GoPro Dive Housing for the Hero 2, so we will need to do a redesign. But we're happy to see GoPro embrace the underwater market by including a housing that can be used for diving right out of the box. Our plan is to show a prototype of the new filter at DEMA, and we're also discussing the possibility of having interchangeable filters for shallow, deep, and green water situations.
We will post something to our website, Facebook, and Twitter accounts as soon as we have something to announce. Thanks for your interest.

4K at 12fps does not count.
The video from GoPro is amazing. With semi manual WB setting and color correction filter, this baby can whack many 4/3, APS-C 1080p or DSLR 1080p for wide angle if we use the 2.7K and down to 1080p for final edit. Even 1080p 60p should be beautiful.
So far what is available as demo video for underwater from GoPro,
Minutes 00:36 and 04:20 is very good. 04:20, I can't say anything but how lucky the video man is, having a whale spinning its body to welcome 3 girls is something no amount of money or practice or expertise can make this happen on demand.
04:40 the white water canoe guy looking at the sky, that is awesome dynamic range, same as 04:48 the two bikers.
A good one to compare HD2 vs HD3.
I like the photo kind of quality of its video when this camera stands still on a tripod at 01;22
The HD3 Black at such low cost, will change the way we do UW wide angle video. I can't wait to try HD3 Black.

Yes of course the amount of work that has gone into producing these taster promos must have been on a colossal scale, much beyond a vast percentage of those that will buy it. Even so, it does show some cool techniques and mounting options. Through the wave barrel pov is very cool.
Lovin the look of the 3 .., Got to take into account the post work on these tasters though ...
This cam is worth learning about because the market is gonna be flooded with people who buy it but don't know how to get the best out of it.

This would be terrific ! I used the flip filter in the Mediterranean sea and it did great from 6 to 25 meters.
Our plan is to show a prototype of the new filter at DEMA, and we're also discussing the possibility of having interchangeable filters for shallow, deep, and green water situations.
But in Normandy were water is green and luminosity can be low, it is not ideal.
Looking forward to hearing from your new product.

All get new flat lens housing
All old mounts can be used
New Touchscreen LCD BacPac supposedly can work thru plastic door and only full function if used on HD3
This is one camera we must have. At US$400 camera with 180 feet housing, how more cheap can one go for 2.7k ?
Use VLC player or Apple Quick Time to playback 2.7k or 4K, many others do not work.

The other way to get better color is to have the subject close to you. So cruise slowly along the reef with HD3 tracking terrain like smart missile and it should do well.
When u want color correction filter, get URpro ones from SRP, they are the best. I am sure soon they will make one for HD3 by next year early. They just launched the GoPro Original Dive Housing filter called DOME, very sexy and great. I had the 1st generation 55mm URPro, I have BackScatter Flip Filter for GoPro Dive housing, I have the URPro DOME too...........but me market no HD3 yet, not so soon......sad.

Color Under Your Feet: A Gallery of Painted Kitchen Floors
We've been on a kitchen floor kick this week: First the cork, then a survey of what kind of floors you all have. But we've saved the prettiest for last. Read on for all kinds of painted floors, from diamonds to seaside motifs to some incredibly gutsy polka dots...
We know painted floors aren't guaranteed low-cost, but they can certainly be cheaper than refinishing or replacing some so-so wood floors in an old house. Coating floors in a glossy layer of paint can really brighten things up, and if they're glossy enough, they're a cinch to clean.
We love the look of an all-white kitchen with fresh, white floors, but we also love the calm, restful blues (almost like the opposite of the blue porch ceilings you see in Charleston). And the patterns? Such a bold way to dress up a simple kitchen. All of them look light and airy. Here are ten of our favorites.
1. White sea creatures on a blue floor--and that's not even the most inventive thing in the kitchen. Check out the ceiling! From Coastal Living.
2. A muted color palette that's still dramatic. A local artist painted this kitchen floor, keeping the wood on display but creating a beautiful, classic diamond pattern. From Southern Living.
3. Polka dots big and small. And in various colors, too. This is from Jennifer's Cool and Kitschy Austin Home.
4. Bold turquoise for a beach bungalow. We've seen this image all over the web--for good reason. It's really eye-catching and perfect for a beach house. From Martha Stewart.
5. Rust-colored lattice on a cream background. Not all painted floors have to be kicky and bright. This would fit right in with French country decor. From House Beautiful.
6. A hint of pale blue in a white kitchen. Ahhh, we love this. So lovely and calm. And the lime green on the inside of the cabinets is such a perfect little complement. From House Beautiful.
7. All white for a high-ceilinged loft. This whole apartment is just cool, but the white floors in the kitchen make it feel all the more spacious. (And how great is the library ladder?) From Martha Stewart.
8. Or all black! Black paint could hide a multitude of sins (mismatched wood, burn marks, a bad stain...). From Living Etc.
9. A barely-there mint and cream checkerboard. We think this pale green is almost a neutral in a kitchen, and it's perfect for this space filled with retro accents. From Country Living.
10. Yellow floors for a New Hampshire farmhouse. You expect wide, hardwood planks in an old farmhouse, but this is such a nice change. And the yellow isn't too bright, so it fits right in with the rustic accents. From Frank & Jill's Frajil Farm Renovation.

Church and Stupid
Christine O'Donnell's cocky ignorance of the First Amendment.
Does Christine O'Donnell understand that the First Amendment prohibits federal establishment of religion?
Yesterday she challenged her Democratic opponent, Chris Coons, on this question during a debate. Media reports on the exchange depicted her as ignorant. In response, conservative writers and pundits—Rush Limbaugh, Ramesh Ponnuru, and bloggers at National Review, the American Spectator, First Things, Right Wing News, and other sites—have come to her defense. They claim O'Donnell was disputing not the Constitution but liberal interpretations of it. In Limbaugh's words:
There was a story that was written in such a way to make the reader believe that Christine O'Donnell did not know that the First Amendment prohibited the government from establishing a religion. … That's not what she was expressing incredulity over. She was incredulous that somebody was saying that the Constitution said there must be separation between church and state. Those words are not in the Constitution.
It's true that the phrase "separation of church and state" isn't in the Constitution. It's also true that this was O'Donnell's main point. But Limbaugh and her other defenders can't hide what she revealed along the way. O'Donnell did express incredulity that the First Amendment prohibits government establishment of religion. It's right there on the tape.
The key exchange begins just after the 17-minute mark. Here's my transcription:
Coons: The First Amendment establishes the separation, the fact that the federal government shall not establish any religion, and decisional law by the Supreme Court over many, many decades—
O'Donnell: The First Amendment does?
I've put O'Donnell's interjection exactly where she delivered it: well after Coons specified that under the First Amendment, "the federal government shall not establish any religion." Coons has the wording wrong: The amendment says "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," etc. But he has the gist right. And this—not the phrase "separation of church and state"—is what directly precedes O'Donnell's challenge.
Nor does O'Donnell's inflection match her defenders' interpretation of the exchange. To understand her meaning, you need the audio, not just the transcript. In expressing her disbelief, she clearly emphasizes the word First. She seems incredulous not just at Coons' position against government-established religion, but that he bases it on the First Amendment. It's the citation that surprises her.
A minute later, O'Donnell brings the discussion back to this question:
O'Donnell: Let me just clarify: You're telling me that the separation of church and state is found in the First Amendment?
Coons: Government shall make no establishment of religion.
O'Donnell: That's in the First Amendment.
Again, you need the audio, and in this case full-screen video, to get her meaning. As she says, "That's in the First Amendment," she stares at Coons with a look of contemptuous amusement. (You can see her expression more clearly in this video, about seven minutes in.) Then she grins knowingly at somebody in the audience. She thinks Coons has just embarrassed himself.
O'Donnell isn't a total ignoramus. On some particulars of the First Amendment, she seems better briefed than Coons. Thirty-two minutes into the debate, she catches Coons with a pop question:
O'Donnell: Can you name the five freedoms guaranteed in the First Amendment?
Coons: I think the very first provision of the First Amendment is that the government shall make no establishment of religion. And before we get into a further debate about exactly which of us knows the Constitution better, how about we—
O'Donnell: No, I'm just asking: Can you name the five freedoms guaranteed in the First Amendment?
Coons: —how about we get the panel asking our questions today.
Obviously, Coons wasn't prepared to answer the question. Presumably, O'Donnell was. (The five freedoms are religion, speech, press, assembly, and petition.) My guess is that she had this question written down on the notes she brought to the debate, which you can see spread out before her in the video. But there's a difference between his ignorance and hers. He was asked to fill in a blank. Lacking confidence that he knew the correct answers, he refused to guess. (We don't know how many of the five freedoms he could have named; we just know that he doubted he could guess them all.) She, on the other hand, was repeatedly presented with a correct answer and repeatedly rejected it. She showed tremendous confidence that what was true was false.
At no point in the debate did O'Donnell offer any of the sophisticated church-state arguments her defenders now attribute to her. She didn't quote the establishment clause for the same reason that Coons didn't quote the five freedoms: because she couldn't. Not until after the debate—apparently at the direction of her campaign team—did she tell National Review, "What our constitution prevents is … government establishing a religion, but it also says that it won't prohibit free exercise thereof." She noted that Coons "forgot to quote" the part about prohibiting free exercise. But Coons did quote the part about government establishing religion. He quoted it twice. And each time, she responded with wry disbelief.
The disturbing thing about this episode isn't O'Donnell's ignorance of the First Amendment. As her damage-control interview makes clear, that ignorance has now been repaired. What's disturbing is the bemused confidence with which she mocked the truth. It's the same confidence with which she dismisses evolution, claims that America has gone socialist, and asserts that "American scientific companies are cross-breeding humans and animals and coming up with mice with fully functioning human brains." Ignorance is temporary, but imperviousness is forever.

This Christmas..
- 30 Articles
- Age 24
Christmas is a time when we celebrate the joyful news about the birth of Jesus. Christmas is identifically the time for people to gather with their beloved persons, like family and friends. We eat cakes, have a chat, drink hot chocolate, and pray together. But let's take a look at these people:
In Afghanistan..
British troops celebrated their Christmas in the middle of their duty, and they had a Christmas lunch which was served at the UK headquarters in Camp Bastion and four smaller remote bases. It is also stated that there was extra time for phone calls home and prayer in this Christmas. "Some 447 British servicemen and women have lost their lives since operations began in 2001. The most recent death took place on Monday when a soldier from the Royal Engineers was killed after coming under enemy fire while on operations east of Kabul," writes BBC.
In Philippines..
Ronis Miraflor, one of the victim of super-typhoon in Tacloban, felt so thankful that he's still alive, and he is still surrounded by his family.He said that it didn't matter if he didn't have any delicious food. Having his family on his side is enough for him. Anna Sofia, another victim from the typhoon that had lost her house, said that for her, Christmas is about receiving gifts, and also giving the gifts to poor people so that they also feel blessed.
In South Sudan..
Washington Post writes about the speech from South Sudan President, Salva Kiir. In his speech that has been delivered at Christmas Mass, President Kiir asked to those who still attack the civilians and do other malicious things to stop, because they have enough of pain and fear.
In Indonesia..
Some of the churchs were guided by policemen with their weapons, in order to prevent any criminal motives, especially a murder intention by exploding bomb. If we go to the west part of Indonesia, we can see the refugees of the eruption of Sinabung Mountain celebrated their Christmas in the evacuation area.
This is not only about Christians, but these are the facts to open our eyes that we even still have the difficulty to get our rights. Even we can lose our lives just because we want to pray.. Isn't it tragic? These facts also show us that there are still so many problems like war and conflict that have not been over yet. So, will you still cover your body with that blanket or start a movement to get things done? :)

MACON, Ga. – With the 2011-12 season in the books for the Lipscomb women's basketball team, senior guard Anna Bowers and junior guard Morgan Faulkner have been named to the Atlantic Sun All-Academic team as announced by the league on Tuesday.
"It is a tremendous honor to have two players on the academic all conference team. Anna was one of the top players in the A-Sun all season and is an excellent student, said Lipscomb head coach Frank Bennett. "Morgan was a key player for us this year after being hampered by injury her sophomore year. She has only made one 'B' in college. Both are great people and are great examples of true student-athletes."
The award caps off a stellar career for Bowers, who became just the fourth player in school history to reach the 1,000-point mark and set the all-time mark for 3-pointers for the Lady Bison. Bowers led Lipscomb with a 13.2 points-per-night scoring average. In the classroom, the American studies major holds a 3.74 grade point average.
Faulkner was a mainstay in the Lipscomb lineup this season starting all 29 contests. She finished third on the team in scoring averaging 8.2 points per night. The veteran boasts a near perfect 3.97 grade point average in exercise science with a minor in biology.
The duo was joined on the team by Natalie Pickwell from ETSU, Courtney Chihil from FGCU, Taylor Mills from Kennesaw State and Sarah Hansen from FGCU, who was named the Scholar-Athlete of the Year.

Hardware platforms
There are two different types of hardware platforms for a network video management system: a PC server platform involving one or more PCs that run a video management software program, and one based on a network video recorder (NVR), which is a proprietary hardware with preinstalled video management software.
PC server platform
A video management solution based on a PC server platform involves PC servers and storage equipment that can be selected off the shelf to obtain the maximum performance for the specific design of the system. Such an open platform makes it easier to add functionality to the system, such as increased or external storage, firewalls, virus protection and intelligent video algorithms, in parallel with a video management software program.
A PC server platform is also fully scalable, enabling any number of network video products to be added to the system as needed. The system hardware can be expanded or upgraded to meet increased performance requirements. An open platform also enables easier integration with other systems such as access control, building management, and industrial control. This allows users to manage video and other building controls through a single program and user interface. For more on servers and storage, see Bandwidth and storage considerations.
NVR platform
A network video recorder comes as a hardware box with preinstalled video management functionalities. In this sense, an NVR is similar to a DVR. (Some DVRs, often called hybrid DVRs, also include an NVR function; i.e., the ability to also record network-based video.)
An NVR hardware is often proprietary and specifically designed for video management. It is dedicated to its specific tasks of recording, analyzing and playing back network video, and often does not allow for any other applications to reside on them. The operating system can be Windows, UNIX/Linux or proprietary.
An NVR is designed to offer optimal performance for up to a set number of cameras, and is normally less scalable than a PC server-based system. This makes the unit suitable for smaller systems where the number of cameras stays within the limits of an NVR's designed capacity. An NVR is normally easier to install than a system based on a PC server platform.

45.11 - Notices of Grant Awards Ending
Last updated August 19, 2005
A. General. Termination activities for grants and contracts is a vital element in the total administrative process. Every effort must be made to ensure all commitments are met and that the expenditures against grants and contracts do not exceed total authorizations. The Grants and Contracts Office will closely monitor the final months of grant activity and provide departments with final three-month notices of awards ending. These reminders are identified as grants and contracts terminating within the next 90 days. Each document provides requirements and reminders to the department and PIs for proper final grant and contract closeouts. It is imperative that these instructions be followed in a timely manner. Failure to comply could result in the final financial invoice or report being submitted based on incorrect Banner balances and/or any pending expenses disallowed.
B. Information. Any questions regarding termination procedures for grants and contracts should be addressed to the Grants and Contracts Office, (111) 111-6689.

Mark Reilley, IT director at Washington-based Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, takes issue with the notion that the nonprofit world is any less competitive than the private sector.
"It's pretty tough to get dollars" in this economy, the 47-year-old Reilley says. "Donors want as much data as possible to prove we're successful at what we do."
That was the major driver behind two systems implemented in 2007 that Reilley says have "transformed" how the foundation gathers, analyzes and uses data.
With a Web-based data warehouse, foundation staffers can monitor how many people are being tested and treated. They can also pull statistics about subcontractors and any outside organizations with which they work. The systems flag any data that has changed significantly from the last time it was entered, so staffers can dig deeper to find out, say, if a particular site was closed or if there was a natural disaster that prevented patients from seeking treatment.
Another focus has been on collaboration tools that allow far-flung staffers to communicate with their 1,100 colleagues around the world. Crossroads, a knowledge management system that the foundation started using in July 2012, allows people to share best practices, and find and contact experts in specific fields.
Kevin Burr, a senior network engineer and an 11-year colleague of Reilley's, says one of Reilley's greatest strengths is that "he doesn't talk IT like a tech person -- he understands that sometimes when business people come to us, they want us just to listen."
Join the CIO Australia group on LinkedIn. The group is open to CIOs, IT Directors, COOs, CTOs and senior IT managers.

Orange County Sheriff's Deputies are currently investigating a shooting that took place on Chandler Street in Vidor Saturday evening, July 27.
According to a news release, OCSO received a call at approximately 7:15 p.m. about the shooting. Upon arrival at a residence in the 6400 block of Chandler Street, deputies found a man at the scene with three gunshot wounds. The gunshot victim was identified as Douglas Kevin Conn, a 47-year-old Vidor resident. He was transported to Christus St. Elizabeth Hospital in Beaumont by Acadian Ambulance Service. According to the report, the victim sustained non-life threatening injuries and underwent treatment at the hospital. He was later released.
Investigators determined that the incident occurred at a residence in the 5400 block of Chandler St. Investigators spoke with the victim at the hospital and the victim advised that his father had shot him. The father was identified as Douglas Harlan Conn, a 67-year-old Vidor resident.
The shooting is under investigation, and no arrests have been made in this case at this time. The victim told deputies he does not wish to press charges, OCSO Sergeant Chad Hogan confirmed.
"There's not a lot we can do," Hogan said. "The son said he did not wish to press charges. There was some sort of altercation between the son and dad, and the dad ended up shooting him."
Hogan said the older Conn reportedly asked his son to leave, and when the son refused, the altercation escalated leaving the younger man injured. He speculated alcohol and possibly prescription pills played factors in the incident.
The shooting is the second recent high-profile incidence of family violence in the area. On July 18 in Orange, police arrested 21-year-old Robert Wyatt Walter of Bridge City for the murder of his stepfather, 38-year-old John W. Lee Jr. of Orange, after witnesses reported Walter pummeled Lee to death at the victim's birthday party. Orange Police said alcohol was involved in that incident.
"It happens more often than you think," OCSO Sgt. Hogan said regarding incidents of extreme domestic violence. "Usually, there is alcohol or some other substance that factors into it."

Love one another! How?
Do you dread family reunions -- and the conflicts that result with your weird relatives and their even odder children? Do you wish you could skip Mother's Day and the traditional going-out-to-eat where your grandmother always finds ways to recite your failures? Do you wish there were no family birthdays – since you hate arguing politics with your sister-in-law, the mail-order preacher? Does Thanksgiving dinner depress you since you know you'll undoubtedly tangle with your alpha male cousin ... again?

In FREEING KIRA, Kira Walker has successfully eluded her mobster ex-husband for three years when, upon returning to her houseboat, she discovers she's been found by his henchmen. Making a spur of the moment decision, she quickly hides in another boat and witnesses a very erotic, kinky scene between the boat's owner, Gabe Rivers and another woman. When Gabe is finally alone, Kira is mortified to find out he knew of her presence all along but doesn't hesitate to take him up on both his offer of sex and refuge on his private island. After divorcing his faithless wife, Gabe has no intentions of getting involved in a committed relationship again, but soon finds himself hard pressed to ignore his growing feelings for Kira, especially when he watches her with his friend, Will and then his cousin, Alec. Kira loves life on their private island as much as she enjoys the chance the three of them give her to explore their alternative kinky lifestyle at her own pace, making up for all she had missed out on, but it was only Gabe she felt more than lust for. After unforeseen events, Kira decides to take control of her life... but what will that mean for Gabe? In TRUST ME, Alec Rivers finds himself instantly attracted to Brooke Hastings at Gabe and Kira's wedding, an attraction that leads to slipping away from the reception to indulge in a hot and heavy quickie outside. Brooke never shies away from going after what, or who she wants, and that night she wanted Alec. A year later, Alec is pleased to see Brooke back on his island, but soon discovers that the open, sexually adventuresome woman has been damaged, and it is up to him to not only find out what happened, but to restore her confidence in herself and in sex. When memories of a tragic loss get Will down, he turns to an 800 sex line for anonymous relief. The night of Gabe's wedding has Will particularly nostalgic and the shy, stuttering voice he gets on the other line is just the diversion he needs. Angie is moonlighting as a sex phone operator in order to free herself of the debts her deceased husband left behind. Thankfully, her second caller is a nice man named Will who not only walks her through it, he does it in a way that turns them both on. Over the next year, Will and Angie enjoy a long-distance, phone relationship, but when a requirement of Angie's job puts her in jeopardy, Will wastes no time going to her rescue and finally convincing her to give them a chance at a real relationship.

And I could find tons of pictures of well-made, enviable really, fabric pumpkins and even some promises of tutorials but most of the links were to dead ends. I guess this is a fad I am getting into after the rush!
Then I started thinking about pumpkin pincushions which would make these little critters functional as well as decorative. (And in my crowded sewing room, that is a plus!)
I found a tutorial for pumpkin pincushions here at the Fiskars website. It always interesting to read the instructions on these, because I would have gone about making it a little differently. (I would have made a stuffed ball all in one colour and then added a stem) but I prefer the matching of colours on this site....
I'm so busy these days that fabric pincushions is a small and realistic project for me right now. I am taking two courses - one a teacher's class and one is a creative writing class. And I have a goal to make Thursday nights my sewing nights....

One Give Away; Two Burda Magazines
I forgot to put up a March Burda Magazine give away. The truth is March just flew by for me...I had dental surgery, a week at the Ministry of Education and a whole bunch of grading to do on top of the regular day-to-day teaching...so I am combining this month's give away with last month's give away.
Two Burda Magazines...one is the August 1979 issue and the other is the April 1982 issue. This draw is for both.
I'll mail them anywhere in the world, all you have to do to enter is be a follower of this blog and leave a comment below. Draw on April 20th. Good luck everyone!

Four Terrebonne schools will close as part of a cost-saving plan the School Board approved Tuesday.
Four Terrebonne schools will close as part of a cost-saving plan the School Board approved Tuesday.
Tears fell as parents voiced opposition to permanently closing Greenwood Middle and West Park, Dularge and Boudreaux Canal elementary at the end of this school year.
"This is a simple yay or nay that could change our community forever," said Tracy Price, whose son would have entered kindergarten at Boudreaux Canal in August.
The board voted 6-2 in favor of the plan. Here is how members voted:
For: Hayes Badeaux, Debi Benoit, L.P. Bordelon, Roger DeHart, Don Duplantis and Roosevelt Thomas.
Against: Brenda Babin and Greg Harding.
Absent: Dicky Jackson.
Price said she fears her son could have a greater opportunity to be bullied at the larger school he will attend.
Schools Superintendent Philip Martin said the decision is not preferable, but years of demographic shifting and a $6 million budget shortfall necessitate the closings.
The consolidations are estimated to save the district slightly more than $1 million annually.
The plan calls for the 140 students at Greenwood Middle to be split among Bayou Black Elementary, Gibson Elementary and Evergreen Junior High.
West Park Elementary will send its students to Legion Park School. Dularge Elementary students will be taught at Dularge Middle. Boudreaux Canal Elementary students will move to Upper Little Caillou Elementary.
The plan will also involve other grade reconfigurations. Seventh-grade classes from Lisa Park Elementary and Dularge Middle will move to Houma Junior High. Seventh-grade classes at Greenwood and Caldwell middle schools will move to Evergreen Junior High. Ninth-grade classes at Evergreen will move to H.L. Bourgeois High.
About 40 people attended Tuesday's School Board meeting. Parents mixed nostalgia over the closings with logistical concerns about overcrowding they fear the consolidation will cause.
"The 87 students at Boudreaux Canal have excellent test scores due to the one on one they have with the seven well-educated teachers that have many years' experience," said Naomi LeBouef, vice-president of the school's parent-teacher group.
Martin said the teacher-to-student ratio will be kept near the district average, but class size will increase. He also noted the state has restrictions on classroom size, but these schools will be "nowhere near" that limit.
"The smallness of it means more because there is more one on one with the student . ... Every kid knows every single one of the people," said LeBouef, who added the Boudreaux Canal children are being added to Little Caillou like M&Ms in a bag of rice.
Martin noted some elementary schools have more than 800 students enrolled and said upping enrollment to 547 students at Upper Little Caillou will not make it a "large school by anybody's definition of a large school."
"Nobody can accuse this board of not caring about children. We have 19,000 children we have to care for. Students in Schriever or Gibson or Boudreaux Canal or anywhere — we have to ensure all these students are treated the same fairly," Bordelon said.
Several other board members said the decision was unsavory but in the best interest of the entire district.
Harding was one of two board members who voted against the plan. He said he was skeptical of the estimated savings and Legion Park's capacity to triple its enrollment to accommodate students from West Park.
Martin said an entire floor of Legion Park has not been used this year.
Babin said there is no adequate plan for reshuffling the teachers at the schools. She said some teachers are being displaced by the consolidation.
Martin has said the consolidation will result in an overall loss of faculty, but many teachers will move with their students. Cuts to faculty will come exclusively from unfilled positions, he added.
The measure passed with an amendment from Benoit. It stipulates that Martin must also now consider and research further changes to the district's attendance zones.
"It is important for us to look at that. Demographics have shifted, and we have a fiduciary responsibility to the public to make sure we use these taxpayer dollars wisely," Benoit said.
Martin said the consolidations are primarily coming from schools that have seen their enrollment dip because of demographic shifts in the past decade.
"What is fueling this now is the financial difficulty," Martin said. "It is not something we want to do, but it is hard to defend keeping a school open with 89 kids."
Martin noted the consolidations have been talked about as the schools navigated four years of budget reductions and would not have been presented had the recently rejected school tax increases been approved by voters.
"Don't blame me," Duplantis said. "Blame those who didn't vote for the tax."
