It might not seem like much, but Google Play Books just updated with built in TTS. It's a bit robot-y for now, but as TTS improves, this could really turn into one of the most useful features for the app.
If every single text book can be a native TTS book, that'll be awesome. I don't know if you've seen the prices of audiobooks, but they're up there.
I also think it's the same voice they use for navigation, which itself was improved a few years back from the old Navigation voice.

Unikkaatuat/Inuit Stories
Until the 20th century Inuit knowledge and traditions were passed down orally through the generations and storytelling was an important art form. Some stories were exclusive to specific areas while others recurred with surprising similarity throughout the Arctic. The stories fulfilled many purposes: to pass the time, entertain, instruct, and preserve important values. The more important legends were repeated in relatively unchanged form over many generations. Others were improvisations on events such as a hunting accident or the beauty of a season. In the modern day, Inuit stories continue to represent the cultural memory of the community and are a continuous source of inspiration for Inuit artists.
Unikkaatuat/Inuit Stories features prints, drawings, and sculptures from the WAG's collection of Inuit art. Artists from different generations across the Arctic have transformed traditional oral storytelling to visual artworks through a variety of artistic media. They reveal their own interpretations of the natural and spirit worlds, creation myths, stories of heroes and their epic journeys, fabulous beings, animal fables, as well as accounts of true events and life experiences. The artworks depict hunting accidents, abductions, personal conflicts, cruel fates of orphans and old people, and tell stories dealing with healing and morality. Some artists bring to light lesser known legends through their own research of accounts from the past.
The legend of the powerful Inuit sea goddess, known as Sedna, Taleelayuk, or Nuliajuk, is one of the most popular subjects in Inuit art. She was considered the source of the sea animals on which Inuit depended for survival. Also extensive is the representation of the Inuit shaman who was believed to be the mediator between the human and spirit worlds.
Each of the artists in this exhibition has used his or her mode of expression to continue the tradition of storytelling, providing insight into the life and beliefs of the Inuit.

A covered outdoor shelter has been built at the Howell Center off N.C. 43 just northwest of Greenville. The center is a private, non-profit intermediate care, 24-hour facility for medically fragile infants and children. The 30-bed center provides total care for children with complex medical conditions who are released from the hospital but not yet ready to go home.
Funding for the shelter came from Howell's corporate office in LaGrange, but it was spearheaded and implemented by ECU health services and information management students Jill Best, Haleigh Wilhide and Steven Foy.
"We see a difference in kids being able to go outside," said Best, an infant-toddler specialist and fundraising coordinator at Howell Center who will graduate with a degree in health services management in December. "So many come from hospital environments and have never been outside all their lives. It's a different sensory experience for them."
Tonya Lyons, administrator at Howell Center, praised the students' efforts. "We're really pleased to have it. We're thrilled to have the students' participation and their input to improve the kids' quality of life."
In the course, students are introduced to concepts that describe a health information system. Students learn management techniques, such as workflow analysis and change management. Because the health care industry is constantly changing, as future managers, students must learn how to manage change, not only from a personal standpoint but from a departmental and organizational perspective, Campbell said.
To help students learn the principals of change management, they are given a project to complete. The project requires them to implement change either in their personal life, their professional life or by helping an individual close to them manage a lifestyle change. In the past, projects have focused on recycling, weight reduction, smoking cessation, exercise and the reduction of offensive language in the workplace, Campbell said.
"Getting them to believe they can manage the change is the interesting part," he said.
Best already had the idea for the shelter at her workplace, and put out a call to other students who might be interested in the project. Wilhide and Foy were the first to reply.
"The main thing for us was communication," said Wilhide of Pikeville, who graduated in May with a bachelor's in health services management and is a member of the N.C. Air National Guard. Since the students were enrolled through distance education, the project was completed through e-mails, phone calls and letters.
Students had to document each project to show that an attempt or actual change occurred. "For myself, there can be no greater feeling when I or my students are able to help individuals in the Greenville community," Campbell said.
ECU students in nursing, education and medicine also have participated in internships or other special projects at Howell Center in the past, Best said.

STILLPOINT Archive: last updated 04/24/2013
By John Dixon Mirisola '11
Some art endures not just as cultural relics or objects of beauty, but as sources of inspiration for future creations. "Generative art," as Bruce Herman (Lothlórien Distinguished Chair in Fine Arts) calls these works, can live on in the minds of artists for decades, even centuries. Since World War II, few pieces of art have been as generative as T. S. Eliot's Four Quartets—the inspiration for Herman's current exhibition, QU4RTETS, a collaboration with renowned New York painter Makoto Fujimura, Yale composer Christopher Theofanidis and theologian Jeremy Begbie. QU4RTETS will be on exhibit through May 1 at the Gallery at Barrington Center for the Arts at Gordon College.
Herman first encountered Four Quartets in graduate school. In the fragmented unity of Eliot's cycle of four poems, he discovered Eliot's unforgettable blend of artistic tradition and stylistic innovation, philosophy and immediacy. Herman was captivated. These were the very elements that he wrestled with as a painter, working to stitch together classical techniques of figure painting with modern abstraction and discerning how to make art as a Christian, but not solely for Christians. In the four decades since, Herman has reread Four Quartets countless times, memorizing large swaths of text and expressing themes from Eliot's poetry in many of his paintings.
Then in December of 2009, Herman discovered he was not alone in his affection for Eliot's poetry. His friend and fellow artist Makoto Fujimura had been reading, memorizing, and painting Four Quartets in some way or another since just after the tragic events of September 11, 2001.
Their subsequent conversations laid the groundwork for what would eventually become QU4RTETS: four large works by each artist, accompanied by a collection of smaller ancillary works inspired by the poems, and a four-part musical score, "At the Still Point," composed by Christopher Theofanidis. Prose by Jeremy Begbie appears in the exhibition catalog, completing the quartet of creative voices in the exhibition. The pieces are striking. Herman's contributions, a series of portraits, address "an old painterly tradition: the Four Seasons and Four Stages of life (implicit in Four Quartets)," says the artist. Gridded with gold and silver foil, the paintings are suffused with light. "The reflective surface of the gold and silver shifts," the artist explains, "bending the light and invoking that liquid, spiritual light in which we live and move and have our being—the quintessence or presence of God."
Fujimura's paintings, on the other hand are stark, minimalist, dark. "Bruce's works clearly define space; mine would erase the boundaries. Bruce's works introduce human characters and figures of various ages; mine are completely void of figuration," Fujimura writes in the exhibition catalog. The resulting dialog between the two artists' approaches mirrors the dualities expressed in Eliot's poem: presence and absence, time and timelessness, darkness and renewal. Theofanidis' score works at "reconciling" these dualities through variations in timing and tone, serving as a bridge between the visual aspects of the exhibition, tying the show together as a unified whole.
QU4RTETS has been on tour across the U.S. since November 2012, at Baylor University, Duke, and Yale. Following the exhibition at the Gallery at Barrington Center for the Arts, QU4RTETS will continue to tour throughout 2013 and into 2014, visiting additional galleries in the U.S. and international venues including Hong Kong University.

'Flow State' film set for screening at Village
It is deep in the heart of winter; there is powder and great athletes everywhere; and most of all, there is wall-to-wall ski and snowboard action.
All right, so it's not like that yet in Mammoth, but the ski and snowboard crowd will get a taste of it Saturday evening (Oct. 20) at The Village when Warren Miller's newest ski film gets a screening.
For Miller, who writes a column for the Mammoth Times, it is his 63rd ski and snowboard film, and this one takes viewers to Norway, Austria, California, Switzerland, and Colorado, among other spots.
The film, "Flow State" begins at 6:45 p.m., following a snow dance, bonfire and a ski burn sacrifice to Ullr, the Norse God of Snow. The event is hosted by the Mammoth Mountain Community Foundation.
Hosted by Jonny Moseley and showcasing athletes such as Colby West, Chris Davenport, Jess McMillan and David Wise, "Flow State" also features Olympic gold medalist Ted Ligety in Alaska's Chugach, Julian Carr in Utah's Wasatch, and Jackie Paaso in the Norwegian Arctic.
Also, Chris Anthony uses 70-year-old, 10th Mountain Division ski equipment.
When asked about the film, director Max Bervy said in a promotional press release, "The Flow State is a place where the impossible becomes possible—where time slows down and a perfect moment becomes attainable.
"This film reveals what it is like to be completely immersed in the present … completely immersed in the snow, in the mountains, and in the enjoyment of winter."

What makes Blizzard's Reflexcell products so warm?
What is the coldest temperature at which Reflexcell products will be warm enough?
That depends on many factors:
As a rough guide, if you are wearing the type of clothes appropriate for the season and you make some effort to find a sheltered spot and put some insulation underneath you, then in spring, summer and autumn you should be warm and comfortable. In winter you may not be so comfortable, but you should be able to survive for several days in all but the most extreme conditions.
How strong is Reflexcell material?
Surprisingly strong. Single layer reflective blankets are very fragile because they are easily punctured, and once a tear has started to develop, it rips right across the material. This doesnt happen to Reflexcell material because:
Of course the material can be damaged (it should be kept away from sharp objects) but even if this happens, it will continue to keep you warm.
Dont reflective products reflect the cold back to you?
Technically the answer is no. Physicists tell us that whereas radiated heat can be reflected, cold cannot. It is true that if the surface of your body is cold, it will emit very little radiated heat, so that reflecting this back to you will only make a very small difference to getting you warmer. But it is scientifically impossible for a material to reflect cold back to you and make you colder.
Fortunately, unlike other reflective products, most of Reflexcells warming ability comes from trapped air insulation, so even when there is very little effect from the reflectiveness of the material, this insulation will help you to get warm much faster than other reflective products.
Are Reflexcell products expensive?
If you compare Reflexcell products with single skin products, for example with polythene survival bags, or with space blankets, they might not look cheap. But they are actually a completely different type of product equivalent to a traditional "bivvi bag and a conventional insulating sleeping bag in one package. Polythene survival bags may protect you from the worst of the weather, but you will usually be cold, damp and uncomfortable. In cold conditions they will not stop you becoming hypothermic.
People who have used single layer reflective blankets in any but the most gentle conditions report disastrous results blankets disintegrating when unpacked, ripping in the wind, and not even offering the illusion of warmth. Compare this with a product which will give you a comfortable night, even in cold conditions, which in a real emergency will keep you alive for a week, which will provide instant warmth and shelter and protect against hypothermia even if you are wet through.
Do you get condensation inside Reflexcell products?
Not normally. This is because the warmth of the material suppresses the formation of condensation, and the perforations in the inner and middle layers allow much of the moisture to move away from the body. However under certain conditions small amounts of moisture can form. No one who has used Reflexcell products has felt that these caused any problem, or affected the performance of the material.

November 2012: Retrospecticus
So November, the white-hot epicenter of rarity chasing, has come and gone and it seems like every birder in North America except for me has spent the month looking at ridiculous rarities. Well, I guess that's not entirely true, this has actually been a pretty good month for the birds, starting and finishing with a North Carolina Iceland Gull at Falls Lake. So, admittedly, for some this complaint will fall on deaf ears.
In fact, I retract it all. This was a pretty great month. Lots of exciting things, not necessarily related to field birding, happened. I wrote about most of them.
Barack Obama won re-election, no doubt bouyed by my ringing "at least he beats the other guy" endorsement. Seriously though, I realize the environmental movement has been something of a whipping boy for nigh-on 35 years now, but it would be nice to see at least one of the major political parties give a flying flip about, as polls show, a significant majority of Americans care about. By that I mean conservation of public lands. Though that enthusiasm gets somewhat muted when you start talking about specific tracts of land it seems to me. Anyway…
There's a new Central Asian field guide out from Princeton Uni Press. It's really good. Now I just need to get to Central Asia.
I and the Bird is back, and better than it was before. By that I mean ever. We did Nuthatches. Current theme is Cormorants. Send me some posts if you have 'em.
I finally cracked 200 species in my first county, Durham. 200 was a Lesser Black-backed Gull. 201, the next day, was that beautiful Iceland Gull.
Non-milestone birds managed to stick themselves in front of my camera too. A Sharp-shinned Hawk and a nice mixed flock of passerines and others.
Posts for 10,000 Birds include a trip in the field with my son and some thoughts on the thousands of Pine Siskins that have shown up around here lately.
Thanks for reading and commenting. On to December!

Can higher pulse be flown into FET if the pulse width of the condition?
Latest Updated:08/01/2007
Can the higher pulse current be flown into FET if the pulse width of the condition (10 us) decreases (e.g., several ns)?
The pulse current rating will not changed even if the pulse width changes. The pulse current rating is uniquely determined under conditions PW ≤ 10 us, duty cycle ≤ 10%, and this must not be exceeded even if the pulse width is in the order of several ns. The slant line of each pulse width shown in the safe operation area indicates an area that is restricted by the power rating.

MoD goat-bothering boffinry to cease
Submariner-simulating caprines' work is done
The UK Ministry of Defence is to cease experiments involving goats in compression chambers, it has announced. The British forces now believe they have all the data they need regarding the likely effects of different decompression regimes, making further testing unnecessary.
For the past 11 months, UK animal decompression experimentation has been on hold while a review panel examined the need for further research.
"The review has concluded that the remaining associated areas of uncertainty in submarine escape and rescue relate to events that are considered highly unlikely and do not therefore need to be addressed by means of animal testing," said Defence Secretary Des Browne yesterday.
"The MoD has endorsed these recommendations and as a result, it has no immediate need to continue animal testing of this type."
Live animal testing was carried out at government underwater research facilities in Alverstoke, near Portsmouth. Experiments were aimed at predicting the effects of different compression and decompression profiles on divers - or on submariners, in the case of pressure-hull breaches or escape ascents from a stricken sub.
Goats were the main animals used, due to the similarities
between them and submariners* between caprine and human respiratory physiology.
Submarine incidents involving hull breaches or escapes are nowadays rare, and very few naval missions involve a need for divers to undergo extreme pressure profiles. The Royal Navy nowadays maintains no such capability, using remotely operated vehicles or submarines for operations deeper than 80m. Nonetheless, there is almost certainly further work which could usefully be done regarding compression-chamber therapeutics.
The decision was welcomed by animal-rights campaigners. BBC coverage of yesterday's announcement here; Reg background here. ®

We've managed to get our hands on some new details regarding the Verizon-bound 5-inch HTC phone. According to our source, the device will most likely feature DROID branding and is currently known as the HTC DIx (HTC DROID Incredible X). The external hardware of the DIx matches up with the mysterious black HTC device that we confirmed to have a 5-inch display. The source claims the HTC DIx features a secondary LED notification light.
Powering the HTC DIx is a quad-core Snapdragon S4 chip paired with 1.5GB of RAM and 16GB of storage. The battery capacity is still unknown, but the source was able to confirm that the 1080p 5-inch display features a mind-bending pixel density of 480ppi. Features not present on the HTC DIx include expandable memory, removable battery and active pen support.
Some of the new details revealed don't line up perfectly with what we've seen in the past. Originally, benchmark scores revealed that the HTC 6435LVW was powered by a dual-core Qualcomm MSM8960 Snapdragon S4 processor while the 5-inch 1794 x 1080 display featured a much lower 418ppi.
We're hoping any spec confusion will be put to rest at HTC's upcoming press event next week.

I am going through big changes in my life this summer, changes that have made me stop and reflect on the lives of my ancestors. In September, I will be moving from the Philadelphia area to Toronto, Canada. My Large ancestors from County Kilkenny lived in Canada for a short time before continuing to Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, so I will be reversing their route.
My emigration will be much more bureaucratically onerous than that of Bridget Kavanagh Large in 1844. My husband and I need letters stating our purpose for visiting Canada each time we go there to prepare our new home. My last flight home involved a long afternoon wait at customs and an additional full body scan at the airport (not that I mind the security measures, I am happy to cooperate). The paperwork we will need to work and live in Toronto gives me a headache--bank accounts, car registrations, car insurance, health insurance, social security numbers, mail forwarding, doctors records, medical exams, visas, work permits, cat permits, veterinarian papers.
Bridget didn't need any such paperwork in 1844.
But she had a much harder emigration journey than my one hour plane ride or ten hours in the car. In the spring of 1844, Bridget received funds and permission to emigrate from Lord Wandesforde, the lord of the estate in the area of Castlecomer, County Kilkenny. She was a poor widow traveling with her seven children. She braved the cold Atlantic in a "coffin ship." When she arrived in Canada, she needed food and supplies for her family, and the Canadian government provided her with the essentials she needed to survive. I have found records detailing the provisions that she received from Canada in Kingston. I wonder, would she have survived without this assistance from the Canadian government? She was so poor in Ireland that she had to beg Lord Wandesforde for blankets for her children.
Below is the list of provisions given to immigrants, including "Widow Large" at Kingston, Ontario, in 1844. This list is from the Canadian Archives. I believe some of the others listed might be Co. Kilkenny people.
Bridget's great great granddaughter will be traveling in an air conditioned and heated car. My cat Oscar will probably have a more comfortable emigration journey than did Bridget, although I am willing to bet that Oscar will be complaining more loudly. I will have the opportunity to take several trips to Toronto to select a home. Helping me will be two relocation professionals who will drive me around the city and supply me with maps and information. I wonder if Bridget had anyone meet her when she arrived in Kingston? Family legends claim that the both the Large and Kavanagh families had disowned Bridget and her husband Thomas when they married, because of religious and social differences. One tale tells of an aunt on the Large side, who tried to take the sons away from Bridget in Canada, forcing the family to flee to Pennsylvania. I have not yet been able to verify this story, but I am hoping that my time in Canada will help me to research and complete Bridget's story.
So, even though I have been too busy with my upcoming move to do much genealogy research, I find I am thinking of my ancestors often during my immigration process. I am certainly learning to appreciate more and more the psychological and emotional trauma that our ancestors must have experienced when leaving Ireland for a new land. I can hardly bear to leave my family, friends, and Irish genealogy group behind. How horrid the conditions in Ireland must have been in 1844 to cause Bridget to set off across the ocean with her seven children, with only the hopes that the government or some kind soul would feed them when they landed!

At The Rainforest Site, we hope to foster an understanding of the delicate nature of our environment through education and awareness, as well as the simple act of saving rainforest land. You and our charitable partners are doing a big part of the work. When you click the Don't forget to click to save vital habitat every day! button and see our sponsors' ads, funds are generated to save rainforest ecosystems and their inhabitants.
But what of the future? With a good understanding of the amazing interconnections within ecosystems and how our actions affect them, our children can do even more to save the natural wonders that exist around the world.
Help students get involved!
The Rainforest Site received twenty-two wonderful posters from a class in Orange Park, Florida. Each poster viewed the beauty, diversity, and majesty of the rainforest through a different student's eyes. The accompanying letter asked if there was something we could do, here at The Rainforest Site, to help these students get the word out about the rainforest that is so rapidly slipping away.
How could we say no? We decided to show the posters to the world. Imagine if we could all share in this classroom's dream. What a wonderful world it would be!
After reading The Great Kapok Tree, written by Lynne Cherry, a fourth-grade class of twenty-two students at Lakeside Elementary School in Orange Park, Florida, wanted to make a difference. The class feels very strongly that the rainforest should be preserved, especially after learning about the ongoing web of life that exists in this special habitat. Each student illustrated a poster with hopes of advertising how beautiful and important the rainforests are to our world. Their teacher, Mrs. Meghan Grybb, contacted The Rainforest Site after her students asked if their posters could be displayed somewhere where people could see them and be inspired to help. Please join these extraordinary students in their quest to save this endangered habitat!
Below are a list of lesson plans that are unique to The Rainforest Site, created by our caring staff. We hope that students and teachers alike will find these lessons exciting and useful. Please feel free to tailor them to your classroom's needs and spread the culture of conservation to the next generation.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — The man running against former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford in a GOP runoff for an open congressional seat says Sanford is a compromised candidate who would offer Democrats a chance to win the May 7 special election.
Former Charleston County Council member Curtis Bostic said during a televised debate Thursday night that "a compromised candidate is not what we need" in the race against Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Bush, the sister of political satirist Stephen Colbert.
The runoff is Tuesday.
Sanford disappeared from the state in 2009, telling his staff he was hiking on the Appalachian Trail, only to return to reveal he was having an extramarital affair with an Argentine woman to whom he is now engaged.
Sanford acknowledged he "failed very publically" but said he has done a lot of soul searching since then. He added, "Not since Jesus Christ was here has there been a perfect man or woman."

I heard people using the word "juice", as a VERB, for the first time many years ago:
Do you have any books on juicing?
Do you carry produce wash, because I am SERIOUSLY juicing this month.
Juicing has really changed EVERYTHING for me. I love it!
Ever since I started juicing, my skin has cleared up and I have so much energy!
Juicing, as an activity, is serious business in a food co-op. As I acclimated to this culture and language, other sorts of new things seeped in between my languid cigarette breaks on the loading dock where the pallets of hippie heaven arrived. Aside from juicing, a girl might find shoppers dangling crystal pendulums over the beets, using the citrine or amethyst to guide them to the deep red root of the perfect energy. I also found people pouring over alcohol extracted flower essences seeking a mellow support for everything from stress reduction to studied focus. And dodging and weaving between support animals and a new baby boom on my way back to my aisle to stock recycled toilet paper, sugar cane toilet paper, and unbleached toilet paper, I'd wind through the supplements section where workers and shoppers exchanged all manner of incredible knowledge about vitamins and herbs. The food co-op is part grocery, part hospital, part coven. And as time moved on, each one seemed a little more inviting to me. Mostly, the food as medicine part.
Just as juicing became a normal, if not still a little bit irritating, verb, so too, did the constant discussion of different cleanses: The Master Cleanse, The Quantum Wellness Cleanse, and The Colorado Cleanse. You could go Miami with The South Beach Cleanse, Vegan with The Crazy Sexy Cleanse, or follow various celebrity cleanses. There were Clean Starts and Reboots, and Fresh Seasons. I smoked through most of the talk for a long time.
40 years.
Seemed as good a time as any to finally sweep up the temple.
So I've done my cleansing, my research, and enjoyed several fresh starts of my own. I've made a good crop of mistakes to draw from, gathered an enormous amount of rejuvenation and health from the experiences and I've incorporated some things that feel important to me into the Spring Fling Cleanse. And while most cleanses are entirely about food, this one takes a big hunk from creativity, another from clarity, and still more from the quiet impulse. It's Spring. There's so much great stuff to be quiet about and honor. It's better than the cigarettes were. And I loved cigarettes. The thing is, I was SO GOOD at smoking. I hate giving up something I'm good at. But, there it is. Gone.
Still, the kitchen is the core of the cleanse and the transformation. So I thought I'd share a recipe you can look forward to on our three week Spring Fling. I've mapped out a mellow cleanse with a calm pacing and amazing food.
Here, Look:
This recipe came from being out of everything and using only what I had on hand. This is where a stocked pantry and a garden in the yard really tend to work out. Plus I was really hungry so I wanted something filling and picked soba to lead my thought process. It's made of buckwheat, gluten-free, and a satiating, warming base for a meal.
1/4 lb buckwheat soba
1 in knuckle grated ginger
1T brown mustard seed
1T cumin seed.
1T coconut oil
3 stalks dino kale
3 stalks red russian kale
3 stalks rainbow chard
Big handful of spicy mustard greens
Prepare your soba in water or vegetable broth. Careful not to over cook it. When it's ready, drizzle it with a little sesame oil for great flavor and to keep it from getting sticky.
Toss the grated ginger, mustard seed and cumin seeds into a skillet with the coconut oil and sautee until the mustard seeds begin popping.
Grab all your greens and shred them cro-magnon style or cut them into thick ribbons with a knife. They go into the sautee and cook until they are brightly colored and slightly wilted.
Dice up some sugar snap peas and add them on top.
Variations: Add sesame seeds to the sprinkle on top. Add in some shiitake mushrooms. Add garlic into the sautee. You can season your soba with a 1/2 t rice vinegar. Sea vegetables would also be a great addition. Let your imagination in on this recipe. It's so simple and satisfying and has lots of room for your signature and what your body might be asking for at lunch.

By DAVID DISHNEAU, THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FORT MEADE, Md. — Prosecutors in the case of Army Pfc. Bradley Manning are focusing on the damage done by his release through WikiLeaks of more than 250,000 U.S. diplomatic cables.
The first witness Thursday at Manning's sentencing hearing was former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Elizabeth Dibble. She says agency officials reacted with "horror and disbelief" when WikiLeaks began publishing the leaked cables in the fall of 2010.
The former Army intelligence analyst faces up to 136 years in prison for sending the cables and more than 470,000 Iraq and Afghanistan battlefield reports to the anti-secrecy website.
The government opened its sentencing case Wednesday with testimony that WikiLeaks' publication of the leaked battlefield reports fractured U.S. military relationships with foreign governments and silenced some friendly Afghan villagers.

Premature party
This picture released by the United Nations Office in Geneva shows UN-Arab League peace envoy Lakhdar Brahimi (C), Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov (far L) and US Undersecretary of State William Burns (far R) prior to the start of their meeting on January 11, 2013 at the United Nations office in Geneva.

Monday at the United Nations' offices in Geneva, Switzerland, the United Arab Emirates threw a party. The occasion? A largely clean bill of health the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) gave the Persian Gulf state for its commitment to human rights.
Lavish tables of canapés were presented and more than 90 countries toasted the UAE with fine wines and champagne.
That's remarkable because most of the major human-rights watchdog groups — such as Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International — report the UAE has a long way to go before it can be considered a free and fair country.
Progress has been made in recent years towards protecting the legal rights of non-
citizens and tourists who make up about 80% of the emirate's population. But there is no democratic government in the UAE. Freedom of expression, of the press and of assembly are restricted. Citizens who criticize the government have been arrested and beaten and the country has not signed the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and the Convention against Torture, to name a few.
So why did the UN laud the UAE? Because countries are allowed to conduct their own reviews about the degree to which they comply with UN human rights standard. So the UAE could claim to be doing a bang-up job.
Moreover, the UNHRC is made up of lots of abusive states who cover for one another. That means the UAE could produce a glowing report knowing full well that most of the countries on the rights council have skeletons of their own to hide and, therefore, were not going to demand closer scrutiny.
Contrast that with the UNHRC's actions the very next day.
Tuesday, the council condemned Israel for not filling out its own self-assessment. Several states speculated this was probably because Israel was hiding state-sanctioned torture of its government's "opponents" (read "terrorists" who the council calls freedom fighters).
Of course, this was a fairy tale bordering on a conspiracy theory.
The truth is that in 2012, Israel decided to sever all ties with the UNHRC, so it is no longer bound to submit periodic reports. But the Jewish state's many enemies at the UN are never ones to miss a chance to disparage Israel for imaginary crimes. Indeed, every year when the 47 member countries on the UNHRC convene their annual session, one of the first orders of business is always to single out Israel for criticism and hatred.
Israel is the only such country to receive the UN's wrath year in and year out — not Iran or Saudi Arabia, Zimbabwe, Cuba, Syria or any of the dozens of other dictatorships around the globe that repress and abuse their people are treated that way.
Three years ago, the UN appointed both Iran and Saudi Arabia to its committee on the status of women, even though women in Iran are occasionally stoned to death for having affairs, while women in Saudi Arabia cannot vote, hold drivers' licences or appear outside their homes unless escorted by a male relative.
When Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo was awarded the Nobel peace prize in 2010, he was unable to attend to claim it because he was in prison in northern China for complaining about the state of human rights in his country. Did the UNHRC sanction China? Don't be ridiculous.
While Moammar Gadhafi was imprisoning, torturing and killing his opponents to stay in power in Libya, his country chaired the UN human rights apparatus.
Does Israel have a spotless human rights record? No. But its commitment to rights and the rule of law trumps that of most members of the UNHRC.

By Dan Kelley
(Reuters) - New Jersey Governor Chris Christie on Thursday held his first town hall meeting since becoming embroiled in a furor over bridge traffic lane closures, and voters asked him about almost anything but the scandal.
The Republican governor took questions on rebuilding efforts after Superstorm Sandy, reforming the state's family court system, and even beautifying its highway turning lanes known as jug handles.
Christie has experienced a drop in political support since it was revealed last month that some of his aides and allies apparently had a hand in orchestrating traffic jams at the busy George Washington Bridge in political retaliation aimed at a local Democratic mayor who had not endorsed the governor's re-election bid.
In the latest bit of bad news for Christie, a Quinnipiac University poll released on Thursday showed him down 13 points from November in a hypothetical matchup in Ohio with Democratic former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
"The George Washington Bridge is not in Ohio, but voters there seem very aware of its traffic problems - and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's traffic problems," said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute, in a statement accompanying the poll results.
The two had been essentially tied, Clinton with 42 percent and Christie with 41 percent, before the scandal broke in early January, Brown said.
"Today, she enjoys a comfortable double-digit lead and voters say Christie would not be a good president," he said.
At the town hall meeting in Middletown, New Jersey, Christie, who has a reputation for being blunt and at times impatient, seemed toned down.
He laid blame for delays in storm recovery funding on the federal government, saying: "We're stuck dealing with a federal system that's broken."
Christie himself has been accused of playing politics with Sandy aid. Dawn Zimmer, the mayor of Hoboken, New Jersey, has said his administration linked release of relief funds to approval of a local development project. Zimmer has since met with federal prosecutors looking into her claims.
Making no mention of that controversy, Christie noted at the meeting that he worked well with New Jersey's mayors and cited Matt Doherty of Belmar, on the Atlantic shore, as an example.
"We continue to work with all the mayors in a way that is incredibly cooperative and non-partisan," Christie said. "I'm a Republican. Doherty is a Democrat. That hasn't mattered one whiff.
"He's given me praise when he thinks I deserve it and given me criticism when he thinks I deserve it," he said.
One audience member suggested that Christie, known to be a Bruce Springsteen fan, burn the New Jersey rock star's CDs.
Springsteen recently appeared on television in a musical parody of the bridge scandal with late night talk show host Jimmy Fallon.
Christie responded that he was under no illusion that he and Springsteen were "simpatico" on the issues.
"I still live in hope that someday he'll wake up and say, 'He's alright. We can be friends,'" Christie said. "I live in hope of that."

Pope on condoms, part 2
Now comes the spin: Andrew Sullivan at the Daily Dish says that B16's remarks opens a can of worms for the Vatican when talking about same-sex sexual activity; because by using the example of a male prostitute (presumably with a male client), the pope is recognizing gradations in the moral gravity of sexual activity among same-sex partners. The pope reportedly said, the use of a condom by an HIV-infected prostitute would be "a first step in a movement toward a different way, a more human way of living sexuality."
I think Sully's overstating his case here, though he is right to point out that the point did not use the most obvious situation of possible HIV transmission, the case of a heterosexual couple in which one partner is HIV-positive, which most often endangers women and their children, and is reason enough to change the policy, as I have argued elsewhere. That's the situation in which the church through its catechists/priests/relief workers could have the most effect, that is, in giving women some help in getting their HIV-positive husbands to use condoms.
It's hard to say why the pope chose this specific example--though avoiding the "contraception problem is as good a guess as any--and already there is pushback from the "intrinsically evil" school of condom use. That group has a point that I made in my Saturday post: Put simply, an interview with the pope is not a teaching document, it's just a conversation with Joseph Ratzinger, who happens to be the pope--a point today's Vatican statement on the matter seems to support. The big news would be if there was document from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith or the Pontifical Council for Health Care saying that Catholic relief agencies could promote the use of condoms in their educational and other prevention efforts. That would be news; this is just an interesting turn of events.
At the same time, this pope says nothing without thought. I think one could see his remarks as a bit of a trial balloon, or at least as an acknowledgment that there may be another Catholic way of approaching the HIV epidemic that could be more open to condoms without jettisoning the Vatican's traditional position that abstinence is the weapon that will defeat the HIV pandemic.
