ST. LOUIS (KSDK) - The Maplewood fire chief has is allowing us to share a special photo with you.
The photo shows several local firefighters with one of the survivors of the Webster, New York firefighter shooting.
The man in the middle is a firefighter, Joseph Hofstetter, and the firefighters from Maplewood wanted to go to New York to meet him.
Hoffstetter is considered a hero in Webster because he radioed back to other firefighters during the shooting, telling them not to come to the scene, and likely saved more lives.
He was called to the fire scene on Christmas Eve. Investigators say a man intentionally set his New York home on fire so he could ambush firefighters.
Two were killed and three others hurt in that shooting.
The firefighters were especially drawn to this story because of Ryan Hummert. They were on the fire truck when Hummert was shot and killed on the job back in 2008.
The firefighters say that was such a sad and difficult time, but they wanted to make the 800 mile journey to show their support.

What is design thinking and how can it help you to better access, serve, and engage with your community?
The term 'design thinking' has become quite a catch phrase. You hear about companies using it to tackle challenges, meet the needs of customers, even re-brand whole countries. But what does it really mean and how can it help you and/or your organization?
Non-designers and designers alike will be introduced to the basics of practical design thinking and idea generation techniques that can be applied on a daily basis. This workshop can benefit a range of individuals including entrepreneurs, non-profit professionals and/or someone looking to resolve challenges in their office or community. Whether you are starting something new or wish to approach a familiar situation with a fresh perspective, design thinking is a useful tool.
Through a series of dynamic hands-on (or minds-on) activities, we will brainstorm ideas, push them to their limits, and test them to determine the ones worth developing. Through this process you will learn how to advance your creative thinking and idea assessment skills to both resolve challenges and maximize daily opportunities.
Throughout this workshop, you will learn:
This workshop is not a "quiet taking-notes" kind of class, everyone will be participating, coming up with ideas, and going through the techniques. You will walk away with a cheat-sheet to help you bring these techniques into your daily life.
This class is part of the STOREFRONT FOR LEARNING
221 E Broadway | Pushcart Coffee
"Storefront for Learning" will showcase a coffee shop turned into community classroom at night. Partnering with Pushcart Coffee, miLES is curating a set of workshops and classes that focuses on creative and educational agenda each night from May 1 - May 4 during the New Museum Ideas City Festival.
miLES opens underused storefronts to new possibilities, with classes, events, co-working, and short-term space rentals. We work with residents, artists, businesses and landlords in the Lower East Side to identify, program and fill underused spaces and turn them into vibrant community hubs for working, learning, connecting, and starting up new projects.
I am a designer, educator and the founder of TYTHEdesign, a collaborative design consulting firm. TYTHEdesign partners with nonprofits, community-based organizations, and social ventures to help them work better, provide improved service, be more efficient, and increase the impact of their work. TYTHEdesign's latest projects include the system and interior design of a low-income pediatric medical clinic, a life-skill training program for family shelters, print/web collateral material, an educational after-school program teaching life skills through community and entrepreneurship in the South Bronx and organizational products and system designs for a mobile soup kitchen.
Prior to starting TYTHEdesign, I worked as the NYC chapter head for Project H Design, a charitable organization focusing on product design for social change. While there, she was one of the lead designers of Learning Landscape, an educational active-learning playground installed all over the world, from Tanzania to Mexico, and also featured at Cooper Hewitt's 2010 National Design Triennial. Additionally, I served as the Assistant Director of the Pratt Design Incubator, working with clients such as UNESCO, WestElm, and Starbucks, as well as with a series of small non-profits and entrepreneurs.
Through my experience with all of these communities, I have learned that some of the best solutions come from using 'design thinking' techniques with a collaborative team. As a result, I hope to teach others how to use these techniques to help find solutions to their own challenges.

A lot of people do go with one implant a little bigger to fix asymmetry. Did you end up going that route? How are you feeling now?
Thanks so much for sharing and I hope you're absolutely thrilled with your results.

Geneva girl raises funds for hearing-impaired
GENEVA – In an effort to get student-athletes to "hear the cheers," Geneva sixth-grader Eliza Peters is leading a fundraising effort to buy costly hearing aids for students with hearing impairments.
Eliza partnered with espnW and ESPN Radio's Sarah Spain to raise money for hearing aids and related audiology services for people in the Chicago area, with 10 percent of the donated funds staying in Kane County.
Eliza, 12, is considered legally deaf. Her family found out that she was hearing impaired when she was 5. After two unsuccessful surgeries, she was fitted with bilateral hearing aids. Her mother, Amber Peters, said even the least expensive hearing aids start at $2,500 an ear.

Carnegie Hall concert raises $65,000 for scholarships in arts
Published: Sunday December 18, 2011
New York - On December 3, the AGBU New York Special Events Committee (NYSEC), under the auspices of the Permanent Mission of the Republic of Armenia to the United Nations, hosted its fourth annual AGBU Performing Artists in Concert, which showcased the talents of yet another group of outstanding young Armenian musicians. The sold-out event was held at Carnegie Hall's Weill Recital Hall in midtown Manhattan.
Supporting students in the performing arts has always been a priority for AGBU. Besides sharing the many talents of the gifted artists who have benefitted from the organization's scholarship assistance toward their musical aspirations, this year's event also honored the 150th anniversary of the birth of the famous Norwegian Arctic explorer, scientist, Nobel laureate, diplomat, humanitarian, and friend to the Armenian people, Fridtjof Nansen (1861-1930). In addition to his many other notable achievements as the League of Nations' High Commissioner for Refugees, Nansen played a significant role in providing humanitarian relief for Armenian refugees in the 1920's. He drew up a political, industrial, and financial plan for creating a national home for the Armenians in Yerevan. Through the Nansen International Office for Refugees, these repatriation efforts later helped settle some 10,000 Armenian refugees in Yerevan, and an additional 40,000 in Syria and Lebanon. Historians believe that the modern state of Armenia owes its legal existence to arrangements supported by Nansen that were made following the First World War.
On this special occasion, nine performers, under the artistic direction of pianist Kariné Poghosyan, collaborated to prepare a distinguished repertoire of music, celebrating Armenian, Norwegian and other composers, including Arno Babajanian, Johann Sebastian Bach, Francois Borne, Edvard Grieg, Aram Khachaturian and Komitas Vardapet. The celebration of music saluted the impressive artistic achievements of the various performers in their respective fields, and featured performances by a string quartet, a piano duo from France, a classical saxophonist from Germany, as well as an emerging 14-year-old harpist. The musicians were all recipients of AGBU scholarships, which have allowed them to be educated at some of the world's most well-respected and prestigious conservatories and universities, including the Manhattan School of Music and the world-renowned Juilliard School in New York.
Thanks to AGBU's close circle of friends and the Armenian community at large, last year's benefit performance allowed NYSEC to provide scholarship support to several students, some of whom were featured at the recent 2011 concert. AGBU is proud to help some of the best future musicians in the world reach their goals and showcase them through this annual concert. AGBU also appreciates the generosity of the evening's donors who believe in supporting the performing arts, recognizing the talents of young Armenian artists, and helping in their advancement. Major benefactors included Dr. Paul Khoury and author Margaret Ajemian Ahnert. The 2011 benefit concert raised over $60,000 for the AGBU Performing Arts Fellowship Program.
The event was organized by the AGBU NYSEC Committee, chaired by Nila Festekjian and Sossy Setrakian. Members include Anita Anserian, Carol Aslanian, Betty Cherkezian, Melissa Demirjian, Maral Hajjar, Hilda Hartounian, Maral Jebejian, Vesna Markarian, Jennifer Oughourlian, and Vera Setrakian. Performing Artists in Concert contributors included graphic designer Alex Basmagian and coordinator Natalie Gabrelian of the AGBU Central Office.
The concert was attended by AGBU President Berge Setrakian and his wife Vera, as well as Ambassador Garen Nazarian, Permanent Representative of the Republic of Armenia to the United Nations, and his wife, Siranoush. Guests also included members of the AGBU Central Board of Directors and several UN dignitaries. "We are truly grateful to AGBU, its leadership, members and supporters for their continued commitment to preserving and promoting the Armenian identity and heritage through rich educational and cultural programs worldwide," said Ambassador Nazarian. He continued, "By listening to Edvard Greig's masterpieces we establish a special connection with the people and century-long humanitarian tradition of Norway as we celebrate the 150th anniversary of the birth of the prominent Norwegian explorer, scientist, diplomat and Nobel Laureate Fridtjof Nansen. This concert is one of the numerous cultural events and exhibitions organized by the Armenian diplomatic missions and the Armenian Diaspora in many world capitals and in my hometown of Yerevan, signifying the respect and veneration of the Armenian people and its government toward the fond memory and name of Nansen."
"This was one of the most monumental evenings of my entire performing life. The program that I had spent countless hours envisioning in my head came to life in such a beautiful way, with everyone truly giving their all to every note they played," said Poghosyan. "I congratulate and thank all of my fellow performers for putting such committed effort into this evening. They are not only highly gifted artists, but also beautiful human beings and it was an honor working with them all." This year's talented and award-winning international group of AGBU performing artists included Hayrapet Arakelyan (saxophone), Ruth Boyajian (harp), Ani Bukujian (violin), Christian Erbslöh-Papazian (piano), Lilit Kurdiyan (cello), Aleksandr Nazaryan (viola), Cecee Pantikian (violin), Kariné Poghosyan (piano) and Ursula von Lerber (piano).
Violinist Ani Bukujian, originally from Los Angeles, expressed her enthusiasm for being a part of the 2011 concert, and her gratitude to AGBU. "It was an honor playing with the other artists, as well as getting to meet many of the people at the AGBU Central Office. I would also like to thank AGBU for offering me a scholarship toward my education at the Juilliard School. I am extremely grateful and happy to have met such kind-hearted people during tough times here in New York. Thank you, AGBU, for all your support." Harpist Ruth Boyajian added, "My experience performing in the AGBU concert was incredible! I was so thankful for the scholarship, and it was an honor to be invited to perform in the annual concert with such gifted musicians. The generosity of AGBU has been a great encouragement to me, and I am so grateful for all of the wonderful experiences I have been given by the organization."

"Whether it is EU spending data, development aid data or crime data, data driven journalism can facilitate public engagement with issues dealt with by public bodies and international organizations, thus enriching the public debate around them." – Data Driven Journalism
Data journalists, like corporate executives, are tasked with harnessing big data for maximal return; for journalists, the profit is a more democratic society. Increasingly, incubators and grantmakers are supporting those Alex Howard calls, "ambitious, smart, social entrepreneurs who want to start civic startups" that leverage data for social change. The Knight Foundation for journalistic research has now joined the ranks of initiatives like Code for America Civic Accelerator, Omidyar Foundation and Google.org to fund such data journalist projects. Round 2 of the Knight News Challenge now focuses on data and how to make it relevant and accessible to the public.
Given that 90% of the world's data has been created in just the last two years, making massive amounts of information intelligible to a broad audience is no small feat. As Data Scientist, Ben Fry explains in the "Journalism in the Age of Data" series, which the Knight Foundation funded for 2009-2010, the task for the data journalist is to seek out new ways to make a broad community interested in the topic, not through numbers but engaging writing and artistic visualizations. Michael Maness, Knight Foundation vice president of journalism and media innovations explains that the initiative is still exploring how to make results applicable and understandable beyond academia. "[Some] of these resources will go to hold gatherings, to send people out from Columbia to disseminate [research] and also to produce findings in a way that can be moved very easily around a digital ecosystem…if we did all of this — and it got captured behind ivy walls — it's not beneficial to the industry."
Offering several funding options, including grants, PRI, and equity investment, people of all ages (the competition is literally even open to child prodigies), and organizational backgrounds can submit ideas for: "Tools and approaches that use data in new, civically valuable ways" including manners of assembling "new data no one has gathered before, using data for novel applications in journalism or media, or making it useful or interactive for a new audience."

Responsibility is the cornerstone of all family values. A childs basic values provide the foundation for learning-and nearly everything else a child does. Values control his understanding of right and wrong, his attitude toward work and helping others, his feelings about honesty, and the way he views others different from himself. This booklet suggests that parents consciously decide on important values to teach children using examples of commonly-held core values such as obedience, compassion, fairness, tolerance, responsibility, gratitude, courtesy and diligence. It details effective ideas parents can use to teach these values at home that in turn will build responsibility in their children.

Original French Text: http://www.ledevoir.com/politique/elections-2012/356034/participer-a-la-reelection-du-gouvernement-charest
In my opinion, the re-election of Charest's government would be a tragedy. Even without a majority. We would still be left with the fact that Quebeckers chose this government and endorse its politics. A re-election of the Liberal Party would mean going ahead with the Plan Nord, disregarding the environment, and acquiescing to smokescreens, misinformation and false concern for Quebec's nation and language.
The re-election of the Liberal Party would probably mean perfecting a system that protects a privileged group of friends with mutual vested interests. The re-election of the Liberal Party would mean, among other things, giving this government another four years to develop shale gas operations, ruin Anticosti Island, make a mockery of students, and steer universities to serve the economic machine.
Lise Payette July 20 2012
Original French text: http://www.ledevoir.com/politique/quebec/355006/le-pere-noel-est-tot-cette-annee
Honestly, the election will be welcome and it will probably come as a relief for those who are waiting for a major change in Quebec's political situation, after years that can't be said to have been pleasant for everyone. Far from it.
The hundreds of thousands of people who, night after night, have taken possession of the streets all over the province since last spring will reignite the glimmer of hope that they have carried without wavering. The protesters of all ages will not want to miss this gathering from which they hope will finally bring a collective future that resembles them.
I would like, however, to put them on guard against an old technique, developed a long time ago and used largely by the liberals and the conservatives each time that it serves their interests and that consists of using a weapon against the good people that will end up paralyzing them. If the people rekindle the hope, the politicians will do their best, to seize power, to bring back fear, an often insidious "weapon of mass destruction" which wreaks havoc among the most fragile people.
We've seen the same technique used each election for decades and the "sponsorship scandal" has demonstrated well how far some politicians were ready to go not to face defeat. Obvious lessons must be learned before the next elections bulldozer is put in motion, because, believe me, the attack will be excessive. It's enough to see to what point those who are in office hold onto power to imagine how far they will go to keep it. Each person's vanity will serve as fuel, and the blows will be ample.

Many groups have denounced the association of the spirit of Bill 78 with Fascism as inappropriate. They say it misrepresents the definition of Fascism and is akin to identifying the Liberal government with the ideological monstrosities of Nazism.
But what exactly do we know about Fascism? What is the basis for claims to the real definition of the term? We know that Fascism has not always been Nazism. We also know that the Nazi salute started out as a Fascist salute in Italy. We know that Fascism, in fact, took many different forms in Europe during the 1930s.
These facts are well established and to suggest otherwise would be embarrassing, disgraceful even. Why then this tendency to reduce any association between Bill 78 and Fascism to a simple analogy between the Liberal Party and Nazism? Why assimilate the Fascist salute solely to its Nazi expression? Most likely, it is to avoid the accusation of brushing it aside, but also, perhaps, to make the severity of the analogy seem irrational and absurd.

The deputy leader of Quebec Solidaire, Amir Khadir, will likely take legal action against the Journal de Montréal and the Journal de Québec for headlines in today's editions.
The front pages of both dailies featured the headline, "Khadir Armed, Charest Dead" («Khadir armé, Charest mort»,). A subtitle specified that a "troubling image" had been found at the Mercier MNA's home during a police search of his residence last Thursday. The front page image is a of poster inspired by the famous painting, "Liberty Guiding the People," by Eugène Delacroix. In the altered version of the painting featured in the papers, Amir Khadir's head has been photo-shopped onto the body of a revolutionary fighter, and Premier Jean Charest's head has been photo-shopped onto the body of a man lying on the ground.

The actions and words of the Charest government are more and more inspired by a conservatism that resembles the politics we're used to from Harper in Ottawa. PHOTO: LE SOLEIL
You can't call yourself a liberal and a democrat and, at the first sing of difficulty, trample the principles you say you hold dear and defend. You can't lay claim to liberalism then suspend the fundamental rights and liberties of citizens to deal with a political crisis that stems from the government's stewardship of a pre-revolutionary context. That is what the Charest government is doing.

The 21st century has shown us a great deal of confusion, many challenges and even threats not only to human existence and survival as we know it, but also to our planet Earth. Countless traditions, conventions and constructs, and even aspects of our physical environment have already been destroyed, overhauled or are in the process of dismantlement. Societal structures are breaking down and new ones emerge while few of us know how to handle competently and healthily the constant fluctuations, radical shifts and the amount of, frequently contradictory, instantaneous information with which we are inundated. Instead of experiencing certainties and the prospect of growth and expansion, we appear to be immersed in ongoing transitions, shrinking resources and a pervasive attitude of fear and fear-mongering.
Particularly in the Western world, we have learned well to amass material and technological items, but when faced with radical changes or losses, such as loss of family structure, meaningful social connections and seemingly overwhelming choices and expectations, we have not yet learned effective tools to deal with the demands we are facing. Not surprisingly, we tend to adopt rather reactionary attitudes of moving 'away from' a situation or 'being against' a certain issue.
This is why the GUS programme offers a unique opportunity to move us from a reactionary position to a place of clarity and choice that leads us to express our true identity in this world. Instead of 'away from' or 'being against,' we can now contemplate what we wish to move 'towards' and act upon what we want to 'be for.'
GUS (Getting UnStressed & UnStuck) is a holistic multi-modal programme that is designed to provide the information and tools necessary to handle current and future life situations in a healthy manner. GUS treats each individual as a whole human being and therefore aims at improving well-being at multiple levels. First, it is designed to manage and reduce stress in a self-directed format, with a selection of specific techniques that address self-concept and experience of anxiety, among others. Second, GUS provides tools to assist in decision-making. These tools can be used as prevention and as intervention in a moment of crisis. Finally, the participants of GUS will discover their own innate resources through which they can create openings and shifts in perspective so that possibilities emerge that transform 'stuckness' into flow.
The interactive GUS programme is intended to be delivered to groups because true learning, which manifests as enduring alteration of behaviour, requires not only awareness of new information and a realization of the relevance of this information. Since some of our perceived problems become exacerbated because we feel isolated or alone in our concern, GUS ensures the participants an opportunity to share feelings about each tool and discovery and apply the new information. The programme also encourages the integration of all aspects of the learning into everyday experiences.
The programme is structured in such a way that the participants become completely self-reliant in the use of the techniques, which are taught in an informal experiential setting. Since the programme considers the participant as a whole person, it allows the individuals to reflect on the larger questions of intention, choice, and identity. Unlike many other programmes, GUS offers an approach that affords participants with cognitive and intuitive awareness as well as practical tools to create change from the inside out, a combination that more readily effects change than either component on its own. Because of the educational aspects of lecturing, Socratic teaching style, experiential exercises, sharing by participants, and open discussions in a group setting, in which the practical skills are taught, applied, practiced, and discussed, the adolescents receive the opportunity to realize the immediate impact of their own attitudes and decision-making processes in a safe and nurturing environment.
The qualitative research on the original GUS programme (conducted in 2004), in which over one hundred adolescents participated, demonstrates that the exposure to the programme may positively affect the well-being of adolescents by lowering anxiety levels. The well-being is further improved by the participants' creating a shift towards a more internal locus of control and a more positive self-concept, both academic and non-academic self-concept. Anecdotal reports strongly support the quantitative findings, and indicate a long-term effect (more than four months) of the results. The current GUS programme has been expanded and strengthened even further. It has now been taught to adults as well with similar results, although only collected and verified anecdotally.
Getting UnStressed & UnStuck (GUS) is a cost-efficient, self-reliant, safe and holistic approach to teaching participants effective techniques to stimulate their sense of well-being. These new tools include creative processes that foster creative and out-of-the-box possibility thinking. The participants learn to identify stressors, recognize outdated and limiting beliefs and behaviours and become aware of options and choices waiting before and within them. Thus, the exposure to the GUS programme enables the participants to handle daily life and stress in a healthy and soulful manner, while gaining insights into the meaning of balance, inner power and wisdom, connectedness and wholeness.

Stool Color Change Medical TreatmentMedical treatment for change in stool color can vary widely depending on what the cause is. Some common scenarios include gastrointestinal bleeding resulting in red, maroon, or black looking stool. In most cases, these are dealt with by gastroenterologists either in their office or in a hospital setting. Depending on the patient's description, physical examination, medical history, and results of diagnostic testing, the doctor may decide to treat with medications for stomach ulcers or inflammation in the stomach or the intestines. In some situations, a specific treatment may not be available for bleeding, and the patient may only be asked to stop taking medications that can promote further bleeding (aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [NSAIDS]). Sometimes medications are injected into the sites of the bleeding during endoscopic evaluations to help stop the bleeding. In rare situations where bleeding continues despite aggressive medical care, radiologists may pass catheters through the arteries and inject the smaller arteries that are feeding the site of bleeding with chemicals or beads to reduce the bleeding. Surgery may be required to remove part of the intestine that is the site of bleeding if more conservative measures fail. Clay-colored or gray stools also are evaluated by gastroenterologists as well as surgeons. If the change in color is caused by a stone obstructing the bile or pancreatic duct, the gastroenterologist sometimes can remove the stone by performing an ERCP. In other cases, surgery may be necessary to remove a stone or a tumor. Next Page: Must Read Articles Related to Stool Color Changes

The wilderness cranberry chutney is simply the VERY best. Keep it stocked up in my pantry. As appetizer, spread it on top of Swiss almond cheese spread, heat and serve with crackers. ALWAYS a very big hit, and looks as though you spent hrs. Preparing it. EASY. Also great when serving chicken and turkey. Give a jar away as hostess gift. We cannot find it in Naples OR Harbor Dprings in Summer. It is the VERY best!
I have loved the 2 products I have ordered from you - the cranberry chutney - many times. It's great!
This product reminded me of something my mother used to make. Yummy. Your service was very fast and good. thx
Most cranberry chutnies contain nuts & my husband is allergic to them.Since yours does not, you will have a regular customer.
Your Cranberry Chutney has become a family favorite. We serve it with poultry and pork. My sister sent it to us as a Christmas gift a year ago and I purchased some for us this year. It is always sad when we run out. : ) Thanks for a fantastic product.
Cranberry Chutney is a versatile product used as a hors d'oeuvres with cream cheese or an accompaniment to chicken or game. Wisconsin Wilderness Cranberry Chutney was featured in specialty food magazines. Enjoy three 10 oz. jars of cranberry chutney. The ingredients of the cranberry chutney are: cranberries, sugar, apples, cider vinegar, golden raisins, spices, vegetable gums, orange peel.

Video: Hezbollah operating in Qana
posted at 11:46 am on July 31, 2006 by Allahpundit
No one this side of Riyadh seriously believes Israel targets civilians. Even the most cartoonishly Gibsonesque anti-semite can see that the 12 Jews who rule the world gain nothing by taking out women and children. At worst, Qana is a case of recklessness.
Was it reckless? Watch the video and judge for yourself. Rockets are being fired; the locals have been warned to leave the area; the IAF doesn't know there are innocents in the building. Consider the calculus if you choose not to fire.
The dust has settled this morning in the usual fashion, with the press absolving Islamist savages and pig politicians exploiting the body count for their own agendas. Lebanon's prime minister is pandering to public anger by kissing Nasrallah's ass. The French are hailing Iran as a "a great country, a great people and a great civilization which is respected and which plays a stabilizing role in the region" just as the Iranians are comparing Israel to Hitler and rejecting the west's nuclear offer. And of course everyone wants a ceasefire, even though the only party that would benefit from that is Hezbollah. Olmert says no thanks. As does Bush, for the moment.
The world's best efforts notwithstanding, morale in Israel appears to be quite healthy indeed:
Finally, riddle me this: why is it that "fury erupt[s] around the world" when a building in the Middle East goes down, but when one goes down in lower Manhattan we get nothing but candlelight vigils and morons beating peace bongos in Union Square?
Update: Brilliant. Israel should start doing this too. No more respectful first-world treatment of the dead. The next time a bomb goes off in Tel Aviv or a rocket hits Haifa, just line the kids' corpses up in front of the press. Have a female plainclothes officer on duty to pick them up and pose for photos. Play these bastards' propaganda game on their own terms. It's high time, really.
Update: The number of rockets launched against Haifa has been cut in half.
Update: Debbie Schlussel says there's only one thing jihadis and their media apologists love more than dead Jewish kids. Bingo.
Update: "There's always something burning with the jihadi members of the Religion of Perpetual Outrage."

A furious debate on the budget of the Presidency yesterday saw the opposition call for President Jacob Zuma to decline a second term of office in the interests of the country while the African National Congress (ANC) mounted a vigorous defence of the president.
Introducing his budget vote to the National Assembly, Mr Zuma claimed a long series of successes for his administration while opposition leaders threw charges of failure across the floor. It was perhaps the most concentrated attack on a sitting president in the democratic era.
Democratic Alliance (DA) parliamentary leader Lindiwe Mazibuko earned the ire of the ANC benches when she detailed a long list of leadership failures by Mr Zuma. She said: "In the interest of the country, I ask the president this: would he consider putting aside self-interest by not making himself available to serve a second term at the ANC elective conference later this year?
› DA urges Zuma to decline second term
› Plans afoot to extend Gautrain in Pretoria
"This is what the people of SA want, and what many people in his party want. There are deep divisions in SA and in the ANC house today, and the president cannot overcome them. The greatest test of leadership is to know when to give it up and pass the torch to a new generation."
If Mr Zuma did not stand for another term, he could use the final two years of his tenure to repair the damage done in the first three.
Congress of the People leader Mosiuoa Lekota charged that Mr Zuma had betrayed his oath of office to protect the constitution.
Referring to the furore around "The Spear" painting he said "the president, as the main defender of the constitution, failed Brett Murray, Ferial Haffajee, Liza Essers, who were exercising their constitutionally entrenched right. He thus also failed the nation, the controversy surrounding "The Spear" did not justify a dereliction of the president's solemn duty to the Constitution."
Mr Zuma remained silent while "the secretary-general of the ruling party, its official spokesman and the Minister of Higher Education resorted to extrajudicial measures to whip up emotions, manifestly trample on the constitutionally guaranteed rights, create fear among citizens, call for the boycott of a newspaper and divide the nation. This, I submit, was incitement to disregard constitutionalism in our democracy and to undermine the judiciary."

i put this on the lute list but i hope to pique your interest as well...
i wonder if you would be so kind as to imagine a renaissance painting (one of the bruegels, for example) in which there are a group of peasants cavorting at a country inn or frolicking at a festival of some sort.
putting aside the fact they're probably enjoying a final grope and bit of grog prior to being garroted to death by a squad of occupying spanish soldiers, i wonder if you would speculate on what sort of music they would be listening to.
would rustic, itinerant musicians congruous to this scene:
- have had access in some form or other to more formal music?
- have borrowed melodies from church music to play in secular settings?
- have played melodies (not arrangements) wholly different or very similar to their more educated colleagues in towne?
- have played similar versions of jigs, jumps, gaillardes, pavans and tarantellas in the 13th, 14th and 15th century that only became documented in succeeding centuries?
i doubt there exists some documentation along the lines of "..i stopped by the 'dog and duck' the other evening and a bunch of rude rustics were playing the following songs..." but if you were to select music for a pan-european, HIP, country music program, what would you choose and what source(s) would you choose it from? would anything "anonym." from the 13th to 19th cent. be considered feasible for such a program?
i appreciate that this might call for more "Historically Informed Speculation" than you would normally care to dally in, but thank you for any consideration you may give it - bill

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: This is exactly what we did now in meditation. When the eyes are open, we see the scenery, and when we close our eyes and our mind then there is another world. Did you notice this? So meditation is the way.
See, suppose you are sitting and thinking, 'Oh, my daughter-in-law did this. My son did not respect me, etc.', you can sit and think about this the whole night, the whole of the next morning and the whole of the next day and it will all just bother you. What I am saying is, whatever they did, let it be out there. When you close your eyes, you be in your space. Do not let the world outside bother you. It is difficult, I know, it is not that easy. But that is the direction we must proceed in.
There are two worlds, and the truth is in between the two worlds. One is called Manorajyam – the kingdom in one's own mind. The other is the Samaaj – the external world environment. Between the Samajam and the Manorajyam is the truth.

Western Ethiopia |
The Surma people live in a remote corner of south-western Ethiopia, virtually untouched by the modern world. The Surma live close to the border with Sudan but the international frontier means little to most people - especially those who live away from the area's only road. The enigmatic peoples of the Surma life in the south of Ethiopia, due to their geographical isolation, they are able to maintain a unique and rich culture, living in a half nomadic existence in an almost terrestrial paradise. This proud people have a great sense for beauty and expression, their creativity shows itself in the intricate designs with which they - especially the men - decorate their own bodies to attract the other sex, for ceremonies and especially for the stick fighting donga, the foundation for complex and competitive social structure where the aim is to establish a champion or the encouragement of a collective hostility before attacking an enemy tribe. Married woman wear impressive big lip plates where the size is related to wealth. The Surma have a macho culture, with an obsession for stick fighting called donga bringing great prestige to men - it is especially important when seeking a bride - and they are very competitive, at the risk of serious injury and occasional death. The males are often shaved bald, and frequently wear little or no clothes, even during stick fights. At a young age, to beautify themselves for marriage, most women have their bottom teeth removed and their bottom lips pierced, then stretched, so as to allow insertion of a clay lip plate. Some women have stretched their lips so as to allow plates up to five inches in diameter. Their children are sometimes painted with white clay paint, which may be dotted on the face or body. Village life is largely communal, sharing the produce of the cattle (milk and blood, as do the Maasai). Though their chief (styled komaro) wears the fur crown of a pagan priest-king, he is merely the most respected elder and can be removed. Few are familiar with Amharic, the official language of Ethiopia, and their literacy level is very low, the Surma are very peaceful, serene people who are in love with their own lifestyle. They believe that god has given them everything, and the cattle they own are probably the best in the world. Every year after the harvest, Surma men and women enjoy a leisurely courtship period, spending days by the river, painting their bodies with beautiful designs to make themselves attractive to each other.

The Last Word In Business
Originally published on Thu May 3, 2012 10:31 am
Last night at the Sotheby's auction house in New York, there was something to scream about. Our last word in business is: "The Scream."
As we reported yesterday, the Expressionist masterpiece by Edvard Munch went up for sale. There are four versions of this composition, but just one had been privately held by an heir of one of Munch's patrons.
GREENE: The painting, described as the universal symbol of angst, has some notable features including a hand-painted frame with a poem written by the artist explaining his inspiration. It was expected to fetch at least $80 million. It went a lot higher than that.
INSKEEP: The winning bid was just under $120 million from an anonymous buyer, which gives Sotheby's a reason to scream for joy. It says it's the most money ever paid for a work of art at auction. Hopefully the person didn't regret it later, otherwise they might've screamed.
And that's the business news on MORNING EDITION, from NPR News. I'm Steve Inskeep.
GREENE: And I'm David Greene. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright National Public Radio.

College football coaches have gone mad and no one not players, opposing coaches or even business partners is free from their wrath.
Wyoming coach Dave Christensen turned a post-game handshake, a symbol of sportsmanship, into an insulting profanity-laced tirade against Air Force coach Troy Calhoun. Caught on tape, the incident (eventually) earned Christensen a $50,000 fine and a one-game suspension, which hes serving against Boise State.
Idaho State coach Mike Kramer turned what could have been a teaching moment in practice into a shoving incident against wide receiver Derek Graves. Caught on tape, the push (eventually) earned Kramer a one-game suspension, which hes serving this week against Montana.
What in the name of Woody Hayes the legendary Ohio State coach who ended his career by socking a Clemson player during a game is going on around here?
Its probably not a coincidence that Christensens Cowboys are 1-6 and he is feeling some heat after taking Wyoming to two bowl games in his first three seasons, or that Kramer is 1-6 and hasnt been able to turn around the struggling program in Pocatello.
The pressure in college football has never been higher. The need to win never greater. The job security never shakier. The outside attention never more intense.
Just ask Idaho coach Robb Akey, who became the first FBS coach fired this season when he was let go Sunday. Were not talking about a midseason dismissal at Alabama or Oklahoma, storied programs with massive stadiums to fill and TV contracts to earn. Even at Idaho, a midseason firing is possible.
Auburns Gene Chizik, who led the Tigers to the national championship two years ago, might find himself unemployed by the end of the year. College football, which has steadily been moving this direction, has become a What have you done for me lately? kind of business.
This is not a defense of Christensen or Kramer. Both earned their suspensions with unacceptable behavior and should feel lucky they didnt receive larger penalties.
It is just an observation on the nature of coaching college football these days.
Im sure similar episodes have taken place in the past. Many times, even. But that was before YouTube, which broadcast Christensens misdeeds to anyone with an Internet connection. And it was before cellphone cameras, which Graves used to record the practice video of Kramers shove.
Technology allowed the stories to spread just as it caught Notre Dames Brian Kelly turning red during a sideline rant and Florida offensive coordinator Brent Pease using his own colorful language.
The pressure adds up, even if it doesnt result in the boorish behavior shown by Christensen and Kramer.
The scrutiny.
The visibility.
The pressure.
They do strange things.
Texas Mack Brown, certainly feeling the heat, spent much of this week complaining about his commitments to the Longhorn Network. A public complaint about a business that pays your school $300 million over the next 20 years is a sign that things arent going well.
Tennessees Derek Dooley was forced to respond to reports that he offered to resign this week and threatened to bench his starting quarterback if he throws more interceptions. Sadly, no one has asked him to answer for those terrible orange pants he wears. He, too, could be looking for work in the offseason.
Even coaches in terrific situations have fallen victim to stupidity. Weve seen Bobby Petrino crash his motorcycle and his career. And Jim Tressel lie his way out of one of the best jobs in America.
The old men being hired to mold young men are behaving worse than the 20-year-olds theyre paid to teach.
No one expects football coaches to be choirboys or angels. No one expects them to become lunatics around opposing coaches or shove players either.
We should expect a little class, a little dignity, a little self-control from the men who are often the highest-paid person on their campus and, sometimes, in their state. Self-control, even under pressure, isnt asking too much, right?
Or maybe it is.
