I recently installed the SoftForYou Keylogger (download) and I ran into a snag. It asks for the user, which is me, to input a password to open the program in future usage. Saying that the default password is 'sfyklg', it says that typing this into a program such as Notepad or Calc (if my memory serves me correctly) will run the program so I can access settings and log files. Instead of creating a custom password I opted to just use the default of 'sfyklg' because I was just tinkering with different programs. I restarted my computer after installation and now I can't open the program. I have tried inputting the password in several different places but nothing works.
How do I remove the program from my computer? It isn't available in the 'Add/Remove Program' window.

How To Look Like A J. Crew Model
Since I spent all morning finding pictures of J. Crew models to go with our gallery of the sluttiest women imaginable (the kind of who wear cargo shorts!) I now have a comprehensive knowledge of how to look like a J. Crew Model. Perhaps you would like to know how to as well. Perhaps I will tell you. Now. Here. I am telling you now. [ITPGallery]

Reform Argue
The 99th annual convention of
the Central Conference of
American Rabbis ended here
with a spirited defense of the
principle that one can be a true
Zionist without living in Israel.
The CCAR is the rabbinical
organization of Reform
Judaism in the United States.
Its convention created a stir
here, and an angry reaction
from some government circles,
when the rabbis delivered a
letter to Premier Yitzhak
Shamir deploring "the policy
of deliberate beatings ordered
by Defense Minister (Yitzhak)
Rabin as beyond the bounds of
Jewish moral values."
The protest was against the
Israel Defense Force policy of
pursuing and beating Palesti-
nian demonstrators in the ad-
ministered territories. In re-
cent weeks, the policy has been
greatly modified to forbid us-
ing beatings to punish
demonstrators after a riot
takes place.
Rabbi Eugene Lipman,
president of the CCAR, stated
in his address that it is not
necessary to live in Israel to be
an authentic Zionist. Rabbi Si-
meon Maslin of Philadelphia
differentiated between galut
and Diaspora.
"Galut is not a place, galut is
the abandonment, willingly or
unwillingly of the Jewish mis-
sion" and therefore, authentic
Jewish life in America is not
necessarily galut, he said.
Israel to Cooperate On
Iran-Contra Investigation
By DAVID FRIEDMAN
Israel has signed a secret
agreement with the special
prosecutor in the Iran-conira
affair, pledging Jerusalem's
continued cooperation in the
investigation on a
basis," it was announced here.
The agreement was signed
recently and approved by the
Israel Cabinet, according to a
statement made by the Israel
"The government of Israel
and the independent counsel
expressed their hope and
desire that with the attain-
ment of the agreement their
cooperation will continue in ac-
cordance with the agreement
to their mutual satisfaction,"
the statement said. "The
terms of the agreement are
Although the embassy would
not go beyond the statement,
the agreement apparently

formation it presented to the
congressional committees that

arms to Iran and the illegal use

government last year when he
tried to subpoena David Kim-
che, the former director
general of the Israel Foreign
[inistry, and Al Schwimmer,
a businessman with dual
Israeli-American citizenship
who was instrumental in the
transfer of U.S. missiles to
The Israeli government
threatened to cut off all
cooperation with Walsh. Israel
has stressed that the involve-
ment of any Israelis in the
shipment of arms to Iran was
on behalf of the Israeli govern-
ment and not individuals.
Throughout the Iran-Contra
investigation, Israel has been
reluctant to allow any of the
Israelis involved, inside or out-
side the government, to be
questioned by the United
States. However, it did allow
some of them to be questioned
inside Israel. The Israeli
government also has provided
written information to the
various probes on the affair.
It was not clear whether the
agreement between Walsh and
Israel would include written
replies to questions from the
Israelis involved in the case.
Nor was it clear whether the
Israeli information would be
used at the trial of the four
persons already indicted as a
result of Walsh's investiga-
tion: Rear Adm. John Poindex-
ter, former national security
adviser; Lt. Col. Oliver North,
a former National Security
Council aide; and Richard
Secord and Albert Hakim,
both involved in the transfer of
arms to Iran and the use of
profits from the arms sale to
supply the Contras.
Walsh has indicated that

The special congressional
committees that investigated

transfer of funds to the con-

Panama's Civic Group
Denies Anti-Semitism
NEW YORK, N.Y. Leaders of the Panamanian National
Civic Crusade have assured the Anti-Defamation League of
B'nai B'rith that the organization rejects the anti-Semitism that
erupted during its general strike in Panama last June and will
take steps to prevent a repetition.
Flyers distributed by Crusade members during the strike
focused on Jewish merchants who had refused to close their
Aurelio Barria, head of the National Civic Crusade, and other
leaders of the group, gave the reassurances during a meeting in
Panama City last week with ADL representatives.
The ADL mission found the majority of Jews favor a quick end
to the current political and economic crises and a return to
democratic government. While investigating reports of last
year's outbreak of anti-Semitism, they learned that owners of
clothing shops along Panama City's Central Avenue shopping
thoroughfare, who are primarily Jews, had been pressured by
both sides in the political struggle. When the strike was called,
government representatives visited many stores and warned the
owners of dire consequences if they closed. When they remained
open, anti-Semitic flyers were widely distributed and some Jews
received threatening phone calls.

Another Jesse Jackson Coalition
Michigan's Democratic caucus results of last
weekend touched off speculation on two
separate fronts. The Reverend Jesse Jackson's
decisive victory more than 50 percent of the
popular vote for the moment ended talk that
Governor Michael Dukakis is the inevitable
presidential nominee of his party. It also ended
the aspirations of Rep. Richard Gephardt,
whose blaze of glory rolled steadily downhill
after his Iowa triumph.
The Reverend Mr. Jackson also addressed a
gathering of "Arab Americans for Jesse
Jackson" at the Islamic Center of America in
Detroit only hours before the Michigan voting.
A photograph of Jackson with his arm around
Imam Mohamed Chirri was distributed na-
tionally by the Associated Press, and included
in the pictures made available to Anglo-Jewish
publications which are eligible to reproduce AP
Thus Jackson not only chose to solicit sup-
port from the large Arab American population
in the Detroit area, but also may have decided
to write off the Jewish American vote in
Michigan and in remaining key primaries such
as New York, California and Pennsylvania.
His decision to so openly court the Arab
Americans at the Islamic Center, even though
his address merely stated that peace is at-
tainable in the Middle East, evoked bitter
memories of his campaign four years ago.
Jackson's efforts to place his closeness to PLO
Chairman Arafat and to Minister Farrakhan in
the past seemingly not are over.
It will be interesting to see if the seemingly
small segment of liberal Jews who have joined
Jackson's "Rainbow Coalition" stands silent in
the face of what must be regarded as a major
policy decision on the part of one of the
Democrats' two biggest vote-getters and
delegate winners to date.
And those Democrats who are the biggest
workers, contributors and fund raisers for
their party around the nation, and also are
Jewish, also will be looked to for reaction.
Even silence has untold significance in the
days and weeks ahead towards a convention
which may acutally select the nominee after
the gavel drops for the first time.
Testament to German Jewry
By SIGRID SCHWARZWALD
BRUNSWICK (DaD) The
Jewish Museum, a new depart-
ment at the Brunswick
Landesmuseum in the north of
the Federal Republic of Ger-
many, is a significant new ven-
ture based on what may well
have been the oldest Jewish
museum in the world. In the
first half of the 18th century
Alexander David, 1687-1765,
an agent to the Duke of
Brunswick, built up a collec-
tion of Jewish art and ar-
tifacts. Much of his collection
survived the persecution of the
Jews in the Third Reich and
still testifies to Jewish life in
days gone by.
An outstanding exhibit is the
restored interior of a
synagogue, the social center of
the Jewish community where
Jews prayed and the Torah
was read and studied.
Religious objects hold pride of
place in the collection of
Judaica at the Brunswick
museum, but a wide range of
objects and documents
testifies to the whole gamut of
German Jewish life over the
past 200 years. They include a
silver pointer used to read the
portions of the Torah, so that
they were not touched by

AIPAC Founder
I.L. Kenen Dead At 83
WASHINGTON (JTA) I.L. (Si) Kenen, the founder
and former longtime executive director of the American
Israel Pubic Affairs Committee (AIPAC)), died of a heart
attack at his home here. Funeral services and burial were
held in Washington.
Kenen, who was 83, began his long career of lobbying in
support of a Jewish state in 1943, when he was director of
the American Emergency Committee on Zionist Affairs in
New York. He was tine Jewish Agency's information direc-
tor at the United Nations qi ^947 and 1S4S, and then in
1949, was a member of the first Israeli delegation to the
United Nations.
Kenen moved to Washington in 1951 and established the
American Zionist Committee to lobby Congress in support
of Israel. Three years later the committee became AIPAC,
the only official lobby for Israel in the United States.
By RABBI SAMUEL M.
A visitor to Israel is astound-
ed to discover that life in the
major cities is normal despite
the riots in the territories.
On our looksee in Israel,
which lasted about ten days,
we spent time in Jerusalem,
Haifa, Tel Aviv, Natanya and
Petach Tikvah. We visited the
Wall for our first time and
found the area abrim with
tourists, with a Bar Mitzvah
ceremony in progress.
True, the Israelis are aware
of what is going on in the West
Bank and Gaza, but they have
confidence in the ability of the
army to cope successfully with
the uprisings which they feel
were ignited and incited by the
PLO, which is still determined
to destroy the Jewish state.
We attended sessions of two
Reform organizations: the
Central Conference of
American Rabbis and the
World Union for Progressive
Judaism. We were heartily
greeted by Shamir, Peres,
Navon, Eban, Kollek, Katzir,
and, most eloquent of all,
President Chaim Herzog. All
of these notables expressed joy
that Reform is making pro-
gress in Israel, the 22 Reform
congregations there providing
an alternative to ultra-
Orthodoxy for those who
desire a brand of religious
We attended the dedication
of a new edifice of the Reform
congregation of Tel Aviv. We
also were stirred by the con-
secration of expanded
quarters of the Jerusalem
branch of the Reform
seminary, the Hebrew Union
College-Jewish Institute of
At sessions of the global
Reform organization, the
World Union for Progressive
Judaism, we rubbed shoulders
with delegates from England,
France, Italy Switzerland,
South Africa, Australia, New
Zealand and other countries
where Reform flourishes.
My wife and I are most
grateful to Temple Sinai for
permitting us to see the
Jewish land (after an absence
of 21 years) and to participate
in the exciting proceedings
and to note the vibrancy of the
Jewish community of Israel.
We assure everyone that
travel in Israel is safe and that
tours of the cities and the
museums (notably the
Diaspora Museum of Tel Aviv)
are most rewarding.
Rabbi Agler Meets With Palestinian Peace Activist
Eabbi Richard Agler, of
Congregation B'nai Israel,
Boca Raton, has returned from
a week-long stay in Israel, in-
cluding a trip to the West
Bank Refugee Camp of Shufat
under the protection of
Palestinian Arab activist
Mubarak A wad. Agler was in
Israel attending the 99th An-
nual Convention of the Central
Conference of American
"We learned many things in
our mission," asserted the
Rabbi, "but above all we learn-
ed that .. there is no peace
because, there are as .yet no
Arabs with sufficient standing
or authority within their com-
munity who are willing or able
to come to the table and talk
peace, a peace that recognizes
Israel's existence, security and
essential Jewish character."
Rabbi Agler contacted
Awad, who serves as director
of the Palestian Center for the
Study of Non-Violence, after
the Arab activist had par-
ticipated in a panel discussion
at the rabbinic convention, and
suggested that convention par-
ticipants see for themselves
"what is going on in the
camps." Though not convinced
that Awad's views were
"either fair or balanced," Rab-
bi Agler said he and some of
his colleagues "were hopeful
because... he (Awad) remains
one of the few Palestinian
Arabs who has been allowed to
engage in any kind of dialogue
with the Jewish community. It
was an opportunity for greater
understanding," explained
Rabbi Agler.
After meeting with Awad
and interviewing several of his
followers, Agler said that "the
skepticism remains.
"Although Awad, and his
followers speak of non-violent
protest and of beinga satisfied
were there to be a Palestinian
Arab state on the West Bank
and Gaza living peacefully
alongside Israel," explains
Agler, Dr. Awad lacks the
power to speak to Secretary
Shultz and announce that he is
bringing a delegation to the
negotiating table. It seems
that the real Palestinian
leadership merely tolerates
Awad. Certainly, his message
of non-violence has not been
heeded by the present genera-
tion of protesters."

There is little doubt that the
burgeoning Iraqi pipeline scan-
dal will damage the Labor
Party's electoral chances
the only question is how much
damage it will do.
Likud Members of Knesset
are pressing Prime Minister
Yitzhak Shamir to dismiss
Foreign Minister Shimon
Peres from the national unity
government if Peres continues
to refuse to provide a full
disclosure of his role in the
pipeline affair.
MK Haim Kaufman, head of
the Likud's Knesset bloc, said
that there are three pressing
questions that Peres has vet to
address: the extent of the
financial dealings between
Labor and millionaire Bruce
Rappaport, who allegedly
negotiated to bribe Labor in
exchange for its support of the
pipeline project; the refusal of
Labor spokesmen to deny the
contents of a Rappaport memo
suggesting that Labor prefers
Ashkenazi immigrants over
Sefardic immigrants, because
Ashkenazim are more likely to
vote for Labor; and whether or
not the Rappaport memo was
based on opinion surveys com-
missioned by Labor.

ROME (JTA) The
rediscovery of a pro-Hitler,
anti-Semitic letter by pre-war
Italian physicist Ettore Ma-
jorana has added to the
mystery surrounding him.
Majorana, who disappeared
without a trace in 1938, was
one of a group of young Italian
physicists who, working with
Enrico Fermi, initiated studies
on energy that eventually led
to the development of the
atomic bomb.
At least two books have been
written about Majorana's
disappearance, with one
author claiming the physicist
either committed suicide or
entered a monastery due to

"Some affirm that the

It was disclosed recently
that testimony by a Polish
witness was discovered by ac-

to Niemeir's case. An in-

Kuhtz had received the
testimony more than three
years ago and asked for its
translation into German.
The translation was made,

that the testimony was "not

trial charged that he withheld
it in yet another attempt to
gain acquittal for the defen-

The Media As Messenger; An Israeli Dilemma
By ASHER NAIM
In recent weeks, the media
has focused much attention on
the disturbances in the ter-
ritories. This press coverage
has, in turn, focused attention
on the media itself. The
graphic descriptions on the
pages of newspapers and
magazines, and especially the
violent scenes that are daily
portrayed on TV screens
around the world have pro-
mpted judgments on the basis
oi immediate impressions.
Some of the reporting and
editorializing has been balanc-
ed and has sought to place the
events in perspective.
However, most coverage has
been excessive in playing up
certain specific aspects of the
events, while often ignoring
others. This out-of-context
reporting has dismayed many
Israelis who feel that Israel is
receiving superficial and un-
fair treatment. The issue is be-
ing debated at length in Israel,
and representatives of the
media have taken part in such
discussion. The subject, in-
cluding the role of the media in
an open society such as Israel,
has also been addressed
The following points are
worthy of consideration in ad-
dressing the media's role in
the recent events:
1. Israel is a democracy, an
open society where freedom of
the press is cherished. The
Israeli press is an active com-
ponent of a free society, and all
viewpoints find expression.
Alongside the local media, 350
resident foreign cor-
respondents are permanently
posted in Israel, while 250-300
visiting correspondents, not
counting crews, are now in the
country on temporary
assignments. In terms of
foreign correspondents, only
the two superpowers host
more journalists. Members of
the media in Israel may go
anywhere to meet with anyone
at anytime, although occa-
sionally, due to considerations
of security and military opera-
tions, access to certain areas
may be temporarily limited.
Furthermore, although apply-
ing for press credentials is a
norm applied in all, including
the most democratic, coun-
tries, some of the visiting cor-
respondents on temporary

assignment do not even re-
quest such accreditation, thus
taking advantage of Israel's
2. Israel is a democracy
fighting for its survival. The
freedom of movement and ac-
cess eryoyed by the media in
Israel is unique, even when
compared to other democratic
nations that have at times
completely closed their areas
of conflict to the press. Cen-
sorship is applied in Israel only
in those cases where security
matters are at risk. In con-
trast, the Arab nations that
are still in conflict with Israel
are societies that place the
severest restrictions on the
media. Like other
authoritarian regimes, their
actions are virtually never sub-
ject to public scrutiny TV
cameras and journalists do not
have the freedom to record
whatever developments take
place. Thus, there is little or no
press coverage of government
reaction to attempted protest,
and the Arab states enjoy a
built-in advantage over Israel
in avoiding unfavorable media
3. When complex and long
term problems are presented
without reference to their in-
tricacies and background, cur-
rent events may end up being
covered superficially. Many of
the journalists in Israel on
temporary assignment have no
in-depth knowledge of the
region's history, and, conse-
quently, events are frequently
reported as if everything
began just yesterday. Lack of
elaboration presents an even
greater problem on television.
Although the scenes on the TV
screen are vivid, they may
often only be a sliver of reality,
since comprehensive analysis
is seldom provided by the elec-
tronic media. The few seconds
of imagery are often the pro-
duct of a 10-12 hour workday
during which one or several
TV crews tape segments at dif-
ferent locations and, after-
wards, condense them into an
action-packed newsworthy
piece. Thus, scattered in-
cidents may be magnified far
beyond their true proportions.
Moreover, since the report on
television is subject to time
limits and other constraints,
elements that are vital to an
accurate understanding of the
situation may be omitted
because they are considered to
be less "newsworthy."
4. An issue often raised in
connection with the media is
the degree to which it may in-
fluence events rather than
simply report them. There
have been several instances
some of them noted by other
journalists, in which the sud-
den appearance of a TV news
crew into a relatively calm
area is exploited by local
elements to trigger a
demonstration and, thereby,
conveniently make their point.
The ongoing disturbances have
not just been covered by the
media, but to a certain extent
have also been spurred on by
it. Encouraged by criticism of
Israel, the rioters and ex-
tremist elements feel that con-
tinued turmoil serves their in-
terests, for it ensures more
media attention and thereby
brings even more criticism on
Israel's efforts to end the
violence and to enhance the
prospects for peace.

I have found myself in discussion mode with the elders of our local LDS church without realizing the implications of such an agreement. Basically while attending a service with my husband, who is a member, (I love him and want to spend time with him while he is home as he works away from home, even if that means attending church), before we could leave after the service we were caught by the eager elders. Of course they had to ask if we were both members...grrr, why, why do they have to go there...and because I have this problem, (I can't be dishonest), I of course said that I was not. They asked if I would mind having them over to talk about stuff and me not liking conflict or confrontation or negativity said I would not mind. I didn't realize that this would begin a formal schedule of something they have been thoroughly trained for. I however only know how I feel, but like singing in front of strangers, when confronted with the questions I close up and can't speak the logic I believe. After one evening of apparently "The 1st Lesson" they had scheduled a second in less than a week from then, which I had to reschedule and haven't yet because I don't feel ready to do so.
How can I respond to their planned/taught questions respectfully and honestly so that they cannot deny my rational thinking and conclusions I have come to? I am not trying to offend or start anything that may get my husband treated negatively.
I may edit this later if I find a better way to bring my question to the "support group" however for now, I just really want some help.
I told the elders I don't know if I'll want to reschedule the discussions, but that in truth, I'm not ready for regular discussions/lessons. I said I am actively investigating/building the foundation for what I believe, but that at this point any questions I have, I can just go to my husband and I thanked them. They thanked me for my honesty and then invited me to 'continue to please pray to God and ask ....and blah blah blah' and promised me an answer that its true soon and then said I should totally have them back over for dinner soon. I wasn't surprised, but glad to have been able to say what I needed. I will be strong and honest with them, and anyone, anytime my beliefs are questioned.
Thank you for your help. I am grateful to have a safe place where I can ask for it.

It probably goes back to the story of the scorpion and the swan - it's just your nature.
Not sure what your on about here Nate. My comments were not based on theism or atheism being true or false, and certainly not based on supporting LDS. I don't think I did anything sneaky either. It was just a comment about what I thought was appropriate in any situation. Its usually much better just to be honest and say, "no thank you". My bewilderment was how everyone seemed to think the lady was some kind of victim - which I can't see that. Except of course that I do understand that some people find it hard to say 'no' in any situation. Thats a security and character issue not a religious one. I did say this to the lady directly and sympathised saying I have done the same thing in the past too. None of my comments were actually religiously motivated on this thread. I think your being a tad sensitive Nate.
Thats a security and character issue not a religious one.
@ Trevor - Yes, like being hesitant in order to give yourself time to figure out the best course of action. That is what T is doing. You talk as if that is a bad thing. She does not have a "character issue."
I suggest Mabel that Trevor knows exactly what you mean, it's what he's doing rather than responding to John Major's post last week refuting Trevor's arguments.
I've no doubt he'll respond that that's what I'm doing as well, but not so - I had a reply ready for his latest post to me, when it became time for my mid-morning nap. That having been accomplished, as soon as I have lunch and a siesta, I'll get back to him. He's just not that high on my list of priorities.
@ Arch - Yes lol. At least Trevor has hung on this long and is coherent enough to motivate me to respond to his posts. I wish more Christians would come to debate here and stick around longer than the usual two or three posts. My theory is they try to engage but this causes doubts and that scares them, so they run away as fast as their little cyber feet will carry them.
I certainly prefer Trevor's approach to Michael's. Trevor's a little smarter than the average bear, and a great deal more so than a lot of theists who visit this site.
I'll get back with him this afternoon sometime - having just created my universe (again!), this is my day of rest.
Thats what I like Mabel, an atheist with a sense of humour! Keep it up, you bring colour into the world.
There wasn't anything backhanded or manipulative about it, it was barefaced, up front humour. I wouldn't expect anyone to seriously take it as a compliment, but as intended - humour. I enjoy humour Nate, even when it is directed at theists - if it is actually funny that is.
Hi Mabel, you may well be right. What I was trying to get at / counterbalance was the tone of the replies that the lady was getting that portrayed her as a victim and the LDS people as evil. It wasn't meant to be particularly personal, I am not attacking her, and if it is a character issue I softened that by saying I have done the same thing in different situations. Its understandable, but it doesn't make her a victim. In this particular case the LDS people don't seem to have done anything underhanded or wrong. As I said, not that I am an LDS fan. No offence intended though.

Administrators, non-teachers get salary boost
Negotiations continue for teacher pay, benefits
Administrators and non-certified staff got a raise but teachers will have to wait.
At their meeting Monday night, District 20 board members approved a salary and benefit increase of 4.99% for administrators and 5.8% for non-certified staff who are employees who don't teach or administrate.
The board entered into an hour-long closed session to discuss teacher salaries and benefits but made no decision when the meeting reopened.
Last year, administrative salaries and benefits were boosted 4.78% while non-certified employees received raises ranging from 2.5% to 6.7%. In 2006-07, non-certified staff saw a 5.35% increase.
Nate Wyatt, who serves on the negotiations committee, said what non-certified staff is paid affects a large subset of employees.
"We want to stay competitive," Wyatt said, noting that an increase in minimum wage this year impacted the salary/benefit package.
Cash for clunkers hopeful
On another matter, the district hopes to be part of the federal "Cash for Clunkers" program in which new vehicle buyers receive money to trade in older vehicles for newer, fuel-efficient ones.
Members voted to buy a 2009 Chevrolet Impala from Pony Express Chevrolet by trading in one of their 15-passenger vans that must be eliminated from the fleet because of safety concerns.
Even if their application in the federal program is denied, the board authorized superintendent Mike Teahon to buy the vehicle at a price not to exceed $21,881 which includes a $2,500 rebate.
If cash for clunkers is approved, the district will receive the $2,500 rebate and $4,500 for the van trade-in which would bring the cost of the car to $17,381.
New computers for district
Board members also approved the purchase of 50 MacBook laptop computers:
- 25 for a mobile cart and 10 for the elementary media center at Dudley
- 12 to complete a mobile computer cart in the high school
- three for federal programs
Thanks to federal stimulus funds, the cost of 20 of the new computers in the elementary will be covered.
In other action, the board transferred $200,000 from the general to the bond fund to retire long-term debt and $200,000 into the depreciation fund before the fiscal year ends Sept. 1.
Money in the depreciation fund will be used for capital outlay such as for the purchase of vehicles, roofs or instructional equipment.
Board members also approved putting $15,000 from the general fund in the activities fund to cover such things as uniforms or equipment.
No speakers at hearing
Two separate public hearings, where no one spoke, were conducted on the district's student fees and parental involvement policies.
After closing the hearings, the board approved both policies for the 2009-10 school year.
The student fees policy outlines fees charged to students and the kinds of supplies and materials they are expected to provide while the parental involvement policy defines the process parents must follow when reviewing textbooks or monitoring classes.
An addition to the policy will be a $25 fee for a new art club this year.
Parental involvement guidelines cover such things as reviewing textbooks and curriculum, how complaints are handled and other things.
Polices approved
During other action, members passed several policies and revisions dealing with the use of school facilities, admission and immunization, option enrollment and capacity, assessments, use of public resources by board members and employees and conflict of interest which now allows board members to substitute teach.
In other business, the board:
- voted to re-enter into membership and an interlocal agreement with the Nebraska Association of School Boards Medicaid Reimbursement Consortium. As part of the consortium, Teahon said the district receives about $200,000 annually for health-related costs such as partial salaries for the school nurse and physical education teachers.
- approved requests for the following students to option into the district—fourth grader Noah Larson and ninth grader Amanda Larson from Cozad and 11th grader Jordon Baxter from Brady. Optioning out of the district will be eighth graders Katherine Mitchell and Sierra Schumm and 10th grader Sarah Steele into Brady and ninth grader Lucas Foster and 10th grader Alec Foster into Cozad.
- designated superintendent Teahon as the district representative for federal and state programs in 2009-10.
- set the board retreat for Sept. 2 at 2 p.m. The next regular school board meeting will be Sept. 14 at 7:30 p.m.
- learned that work is progressing on the remodeling of upper-level classrooms and the media center at Dudley Elementary. The area is expected to be ready for students in early to mid September. The board learned that fourth graders will be moved into the Community Building and classrooms set up in a health room, board room and wrestling room, fifth graders will be bussed to the former 100R Attendance Center in the morning and returned to Dudley for lunch and afternoon classes in kindergarten classrooms (until Sept. 8, kindergartners attend only for half days) and sixth graders will relocate in classrooms in the north hallway and a computer lab. A nearby high school classroom, used for industrial technology, will also serve as a sixth-grade classroom.
- heard that junior and senior high enrollment is expected at 417 students.
- were informed that the district will receive a $13,000 dividend check from an insurance pool in which it is a member.
- found out that Dawson Public Power District is charging for service to idle buildings like the 100R Attendance Center the district owns.

Baby Bjorn
Baby Bjorn's goal is to develop products that are both creative and sensitive to children's and parents' needs and identify those little everyday problems and provide ingenious solutions to them.
Categories Featuring Baby Bjorn Products
Baby Bjorn is a family-owned, Swedish company which was founded in 1961. From the start, Baby Bjorn's goal has been to simplify everyday activities for parents and small children by developing innovative products for children up to the age of three.
Baby Bjorn's goal is to develop products that are both creative and sensitive to children's and parent's needs and identify those little everyday problems and provide ingenious solutions to them.
Trends have come and gone, but small children's need for security and closeness has not changed. To date, more than 30 million children have been carried by their mothers and fathers in BABYBJÖRN baby carriers.
The Concept Behind Baby Bjorn
This year marks exactly 50 years since Baby Bjorn started. BabyBjörn remains a Swedish family company, but today their products can be found all over the world, and the original business concept has stood the test of time, just like the quality of their products.
Baby Bjorn products are now used worldwide by millions of parents, and all of them have the same goal: happy, safe children. The enthusiastic receptions the products have received from consumers have inspired Baby Bjorn in its efforts to develop safe and attractive, high-quality products.
Parents should feel confident in their choice of a functional product that is safe for their child. Hence, why Baby Bjorn take responsibility for every step of their development process and have adopted long-term approaches towards constantly improving and renewing the product range.
To help achieve this Baby Bjorn has worked closely with paediatricians since the company was founded in 1961. The valuable information and comments they provide are vital, both in connection with the development of new products and in the ongoing development of existing ones.
Baby Bjorn's cooperation with the medical profession began in Sweden, but now includes an international network of paediatricians in Germany, France, Sweden and the USA.
Baby Bjorn is proud of its 46 years in the business and has never compromised its core values of quality, safety and design.
Baby Bjorn Today
Baby Bjorn's goal, right from the start, has been to make everyday life easier for families with young children. Baby Bjorn are also firmly convinced, right from day one, that parents shouldn't have to buy loads of products when children are small – just a few that really work. They still believe that and are working with suppliers, distributors and employees to build a worldwide network, with a corporate culture based on a fundamental interest in children and their development.
Their policy of never launching a product that does not live up to their strict quality and safety requirements, means that over the years, parents have developed considerable confidence in the Baby Bjorn brand and their products. This is something that has only been possible due to the consistent level of deep commitment to their work shown by every single person who works for and is involved in the company.
Many employees are, themselves, parents of young children, and they are driven by a desire at all times to exceed their own expectations. Baby Bjorn baby carriers, potties, travel cots, bouncers and other products must, quite simply, be the best on the market. Which is also why the current BabyBjörn range has, in every respect, been developed to suit the lifestyles of today's families with small children, all over the world.
Baby Bjorn's Scandinavian roots are a constant theme of everything they do. Good design is always a combination of practical functionality and attractive appearance. Their fundamental commitment to safety is a consequence of the society in which they, themselves, grew up. As is their desire to inspire fathers to get involved, right from the start, and to encourage parents to play an equal part in their child's development.
Concept to Product
The route a Baby Bjorn product takes from an initial concept to a finished product is a long one. Developing their plate and spoon, for example, took four years! Baby Bjorn design and develop their products in-house in extremely close cooperation with world-leading paediatricians, industrial designers and parents of small children. And they don't stop until the product truly lives up to their very high standards and requirements.
All product development starts with the production of a prototype. The prototype then goes through a long and extensive series of tests by parents and children so that we can be sure that the product is up to scratch when it comes to safety, functionality and quality. And if it turns out that the product does not meet Baby Bjorn's stringent requirements, they take it back to the drawing board – if it still has potential. If not, the project is cancelled.
Being Responsible
Baby Bjorn take a long-term view when products are developed. They never compromise on core values of safety, quality and design, which is why Baby Bjorn products are so durable and can be used for many years, often being handed down from one child to the next.
They use the utmost care, both in the choice of materials and when it comes to ensuring that all Baby Bjorn products undergo rigorous testing. Materials that will come into contact with food are approved for use with foodstuffs, while textiles that will come into contact with a child's skin are Oeko-Tex Standard 100 product class 1-approved. Baby Bjorn are equally choosy when it comes to selecting suppliers, and carry out continuous checks to make sure that they genuinely comply with our stringent requirements at every stage of the process and in every country.
Baby Bjorn have also decided, as a matter of policy, that a reduced environmental burden shall be characteristic of all of the development, manufacturing and distribution of BabyBjörn products, and that they will not simply comply with all relevant legislation and official requirements; they will develop their environmental work continuously to ensure that they minimise our environmental impact. Their new organic range, launched in 2009, is one step in this direction.
Baby Bjorn Ask the Experts
Baby Bjorn believes your child's safety and health are always a top priority, and that's been the case, right from the start. Baby Bjorn began working in partnership with Professor Bengt Hagberg at the Östra Hospital in Gothenburg at a very early stage in their company history. That partnership has now lasted for over twenty-three years and has served as a guiding light for our new product development work.
Nowadays, Baby Bjorn work with leading paediatricians and midwives all over the world. One is Dr Avroy A Fanaroff at the Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital who, way back in the 1970s, was part of the team that produced the groundbreaking research into close physical contact between newborn babies and their parents. Baby Bjorn are, of course, absolutely delighted that Dr Fanaroff wants to work with us today, because his findings formed part of the inspiration for the very first baby carrier that we ever developed.
The information these medical experts provide is invaluable for Baby Bjorn, and their comments are vital as they develop new products or improve existing ones.

To help the Oilers coaching staff prepare for tonight's game, OilersNation speech writing experts have taken the liberty of writing a pre game speech. Imagine if you will the visitors dressing room at the Toyota Entertainment Centre in Los Angeles as the speech begins….
MacT: See this picture? (staples the picture shown above to the wall)
Oilers: Yes (except for Steve Staios who is eating nails as part of his pre game ritual)
MacT: Well this here is King Gustav V, former king of Sweden. If this picture doesn't tell you that Kings are wimpy losers with comical moustaches then I don't know what else will. Are you scared of King Gustav??
Oilers: NO!
MacT: Are you therefore scared of KINGS?
Oilers: NO!
MacT: Can you therefore beat the LA KINGS?
Oilers: YES!
(Oilers thunder out of the dressing room. Steve Staios knocks out three LA Kings Security staff with one upper cut punch on the way to the ice.)
Ipso facto Oilers win 45-0.
Record this season for predicting the correct winner: 5-3
Record this season for predicting the score: 0-8

SOA graduate commands accused brigade
"We have always said, and in that we are clear, that until this very day we are resisting. And our work is to continue resisting and defending our rights. We don't know until when, because the truth we've lived in our story is this: today we are here talking; tomorrow we may be dead. Today we are here in San Jose de Apartado; tomorrow the majority of people here could be displaced because of a massacre." -- Luis Eduardo Guerra, in an interview on January 15 of this year, 37 days before he was assassinated by the Colombian military
On February 21-22, 2005, eight members of the San Jose de Apartado Peace Community in Uraba, Colombia -including three young children, were brutally massacred. Witnesses identified the killers as members of the Colombian military, and peace community members saw the army's 17th and 11th Brigades in the area around the time of the murders.
Among those killed was Luis Eduardo Guerra, an internationally recognized peace activist and a co-founder of the Peace Community. In November 2002, Luis travelled from Colombia to Fort Benning, Georgia to speak out against the School of the Americas and to give a first hand testimony about the brutal impact that SOA training and US foreign policy have on the dire situation in Colombia.
General Hector Jaime Fandino Rincon is the commander of the 17th Brigade of the Colombian army. Like Luis Eduardo, Fandino Rincon also travelled to the School of the Americas -- not to speak out for justice and peace like Luis, but to attend the "Small-Unit Infantry Tactics" course in order to become "familiar with small-unit operational concepts and principles at the squad and platoon level, [to] receive training in planning and conducting small-unit tactical operations." Fandino Rincon is a 1976 graduate of the notorious School of the Americas. In December of 2004 he was promoted to the rank of Brigadier General.
Since the massacre, the Colombian administration of Alvaro Uribe has done little to investigate the murders. No investigation into the military or the 17th or 11th Brigade has begun. All the focus now of the government agencies intervening in the situation is to force the community members to testify at risk of their lives' instead of focusing on the military that was in the area at the time of the murders.
Police and military forces have flooded San Jose against the wishes of the Peace Community, which has taken a fundamental stance against any and all armed actors. Since the massacre, all but five of the 100 families that formed the Peace Community have been forced to leave their homes and land.
Those killed on February 21 and 22 included Luis Eduardo, his partner Bellanira and their son, Deiner, 11. Also massacred were Alejandro Perez, Alfonso Bolivar Tuberquia Graciano, his partner, Sandra Milena Munoz Pozo and their young children, Santiago, 18 months, and Natalia, 6 years old. (Click here for more background information).
The Peace Community sent a delegation to locate and identify their bodies. They found a gruesome scene, with Alejandro, Alfonso, Sandra, Santiago and Natalia in a communal grave. They had all been killed with machetes, with their heads and extremities severed. The community found Luis, Bellanira and Deiner's bodies thrown near a river. They had been beaten badly and had their throats cut.
The community writes:
"The military presence in the zone before, during and after the massacre points clearly to the Colombian Army as being responsible for this latest attack on the civilian population. We are facing a new humanitarian crisis in the zone and the death of our friends and of Luis Eduardo, leader of the community, is a sure signal. We know that the whole strategy of terror and impunity is going to continue. Soldiers have threatened a number of families and warned them that if they don't leave, the same thing is going to happen to them. They are also looking for the surviving witnesses of the massacre who are terrified at the danger their lives are in."The Colombian military, paramilitary units and guerrilla forces have targeted this community, founded an attempt to created a space free of weapons and independent of any armed actors, since its inception in 1996. One hundred fifty two members of the community have been killed in eight years, and not a single perpetrator has been brought to justice, even though the Colombian justice system has gathered the testimonies of hundreds of people identifying those responsible.
For years, official reports from the United Nations, Human Rights Watch and even the State Department have established the collusion and collaboration between the U.S.-trained Colombian army and right-wing paramilitaries forces in many war-torn regions of the country. With military support, the paramilitaries are operating as surrogate death squads and thugs. A United Nations report confirmed this trend, stating that "Members of the military participated in massacres, organized paramilitary groups, and spread death threats. The security forces also failed to take action, and this undoubtedly enabled the paramilitary groups to achieve their exterminating objectives."
The Peace Community writes:
"In this context, it is important to understand the Army-paramilitary strategy to clear villages and take control of the land. First come the indiscriminate bombings and then the operations in which they eliminate everything they come across: animals, crops, homes and, as the most recent events show, entire families. But there is no doubt that the strategy is working: just two weeks ago we pointed out that as a result of these operations in Mulatos and Resbalosa, only 10 families remained, and now nine of them have been displaced to San Jose."Many of the Colombian officers cited as responsible for massacres and other human rights abuses graduated from the SOA, and the strategy of using paramilitary groups for the military's dirty work is nothing new for SOA/ WHINSEC students. Roberto D'Aubussoin established the Death Squads that were responsible for much of the violence in El Salvador in the 1980's, and Benedicto Lucas Garcia masterminded the creation of the Civil Defense Patrols in Guatemala. Mexico's Jose Ruben Rivas Pena, who took the SOA's elite Command and Staff Course, called for the "training and support for self-defence forces or other paramilitary organizations in Chiapas."
The story of the San Jose de Apartado Peace Community, while appalling, is all too common in Colombia. And yet stories of Colombia's ongoing war recognized by the United Nations as "the world's greatest humanitarian disaster after Congo and Darfur" are absent from much mainstream media coverage.
Since 2000, the U.S. has sent $3.3 billion to Colombia in aid - making it the world's top recipient after Israel and Egypt. The aid is mostly military, and the Pentagon also has troops on the ground (officially barred from combat). In October, Congress approved doubling the U.S. troop presence in Colombia to 800. The cap on the number of U.S. civilian contract agents, pilots, intelligence analysts, and security personnel was also raised, from 400 to 600. The measure came as a little-noticed part of the 2005 Defense Department authorization act, and was a defeat for human rights groups, which had been pushing for a lower cap. The new 800/600 cap is exactly what the White House asked for.
The Colombian conflict is rooted in social inequalities. Between 60 and 68 percent of the population are currently living at or below the poverty line. The Bush administration's military approach has remained at the forefront of their failing strategy to "solve" the problem. The SOA-style repression that is killing thousands every year is supposed to maintain the status quo - to keep the rich powerful and the poor silent.
It is up to us to change the political climate by working towards a culture of justice and peace and by defying the systems of violence and domination. History is made by movements, mass movements of people who organize themselves to struggle collectively for a better world.
"The ideas of Luis Eduardo, his thoughts and his arguments will continue inside us with more strength than ever. He believed the civilian population had the right to live with dignity. We also believe this and will carry on defending this principal even if it costs us our lives." - San Jose de Apartado Peace Community, March 2005
