WASHINGTON — The Treasury Department today announced the names of 18 Russians subject to financial sanctions and visa bans because of their alleged violations of human rights.
The list, an outgrowth of a law enacted last December to hold Russian officials accountable for human rights abuses, is certain to further strain relations with the Moscow government. Russia has strongly objected to the act and threatened to retaliate with its own sanctions.
The act is named for Russian lawyer Sergei Magnitsky, who was arrested in 2008 for tax evasion after accusing Russian police officials of stealing $230 million in tax rebates. He died in prison the next year, allegedly after being beaten and denied medical treatment.
The list included Artem Kuznetsov and Pavel Karpov, two Russian Interior Ministry officers who put Magnitsky behind bars after he accused them of stealing $230 million from the state.
Two tax officials the lawyer accused of approving the fraudulent tax refunds, and two other Interior Ministry officials accused of persecuting Magnitsky, were also on the list. Absent were senior officials from President Vladimir Putin's entourage whom some human rights advocates had hoped to see sanctioned.
Magnitsky's former client, London-based investor William Browder, who has campaigned to bring those responsible in his death to justice, has claimed that one of those tax officials, Olga Stepanova, has bought luxury real estate in Moscow, Dubai and Montenegro and wired money through her husband's bank accounts worth $39 million.
The act was linked to legislation normalizing trade relations between the United States and Russia, but it drew immediate fire from Russia, which accused Congress of interfering with its internal affairs. Within days, Russia announced that it was banning U.S. adoptions of Russian children.

Lollapalooza 2012 Schedule Announced
Lollapalooza 2012 should be quite the music event, and even if you can't make the festival, so long as you're in the Chicago area there will be plenty of performances going on to make your August 3 weekend worthwhile.
Organizers have revealed the scheduling details for all three days of Lollapalooza 2012 as well as all of the after shows going on in Chicago, giving acts yet another way to reach out to the Windy City's music lovers. As with many festival events, there will always be some interesting set time conflicts that leave you with a difficult choice to make.
Friday night (August 3) offers an interesting choice at the evening's finale, where music lovers get to pick between seeing the Black Keys — one of the hottest live acts right now — and Black Sabbath performing their only U.S. reunion date. Other potential conflicts include the 6:00 hour ,where Band of Skulls, Passion Pit and the Shins overlap.
Saturday's biggest scheduling challenge comes during the 4:00 hour, when Temper Trap, Alabama Shakes, fun., rapper B.o.B. and rising folk rockers the Dunwells all ask for your attention.
Sunday's 6:00 hour also is a bit of a logjam with Florence + the Machine, At the Drive-In and Icelandic breakout act Of Monsters and Men competing for audience members.
However, if you're unable to catch one of those bands, there still might be an opportunity to see them at some point, as a lot of the Lollapalooza acts have scheduled "after party" shows throughout the weekend. Alabama Shakes, the Temper Trap, Passion Pit, Dr. Dog, White Rabbits, Of Monsters and Men and more are all taking part. For a full rundown of who's playing where in Chicago during Lollapalooza weekend, look here.
For a full rundown of what acts are playing at what time during the festival, go here or check out the embedded schedule below (screenshots courtesy of Consequence of Sound).

That is surprising. Most of the patients I speak to receive care from Iron Mountain, Madison or Milwaukee. I haven't heard much good about any of the three. The patients are typically being treated for psych, prosthetics or post surgical care. Hopefully the they are exception and not the rule.

The Economic Ignorance Of Fox's Business Block
You probably don't spend your Saturday mornings watching Fox News, but if you do, you know that they have a two-hour block of business programming called, amusingly, "The Cost Of Freedom." It features primarily C-list Fox Hosts and D-list pundits extolling the virtues of an unfettered free market and sneeringly contemptuously at every non-military government program. The one prerequisite for appearing on Fox's business block is that you have no real understanding of how the economy works. This morning's edition of Cashin' In and its discussion of poverty and government safety net programs demonstrated quite ably that Fox's business pundits have really no idea what they're talking about.
It kicked off with panelist Jonathan Hoenig, a hedge fund manager who voices contempt [1] for the non-wealthy, offering the starkly objectivist opinion that the government safety net is "destructive," and creates two classes of people: "victims," defined as "taxpayers" and "productive people;" and "parasites," defined as "recipients of the welfare."
That's obviously a very silly thing to say; people who receive government benefits also pay taxes and a great many of them are, in fact, "productive people" who often work more than one job. As for the notion that the safety net is "destructive," we'll get to that in a moment. First let's get to Hoenig's co-panelist, conservative columnist Star Parker, who argues that the reason poverty numbers started going up in 2008 was the minimum wage increase passed in 2007 [2]:
Let's see... what else could have happened on the economic front sometime around 2008 that might have pushed droves of Americans below the poverty level? Ah, right, the large-scale collapse of the economy. Between February and August 2008 [3], the economy shed over 1.2 million jobs -- and that was before Lehman Brothers went bankrupt and the worldwide economy imploded. It's safe to say that had a bigger impact on poverty nationwide than a modest increase in the minimum wage.
But let's get back to the idea that the safety net, per Hoenig, is "destructive" as it pertains to poverty. As the economy was imploding in 2008, poverty rates did indeed start going up for most age groups... except seniors. The Washington Post, citing Census data, noted that "the poverty rate for seniors is at a record low: in 2009, it was at 8.9 percent, and it's remained essentially flat since then. Why? It seems that Social Security has provided a safety net that's weathered the recession: without this income, the poverty rate for Americans over 65 would have risen by 13.8 million."
For other age groups, the picture was not pretty, but it could have been far, far uglier: "Without unemployment insurance benefits, the poverty rate for other adults would have risen by 2.3 million and children by 900,000."
That's a real, tangible benefit of the safety net. It helped a lot of desperate families avoid falling poverty during the worst economic crash in almost a century. That is precisely the opposite of "destructive."

How long does it take for an idea to turn into a movement for change? And how long before that movement achieves its goals? Today, the tenth anniversary of the Budapest Open Access Initiative, seems like a good time to ask these questions.
The term "Open Access" (OA), the free online availability of research literature, was first coined at an Open Society sponsored meeting in Budapest in December 2001. The Information Program had supported the distribution of hard copies of scientific journals to universities in Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, and was interested in harnessing the power of the internet to more easily put academic research in the hands of those who could benefit.
So we brought together leaders who were exploring alternative publishing models. The group hammered out a declaration that would provide the public with unrestricted, free access to scholarly research—much of which is publicly funded. The declaration, the Budapest Open Access Initiative, urged academics to place their research in institutional archives and it encouraged the creation of new open access journals. The result? Ten years on, troves of scholarly research and information—which had largely been the domain of elite universities and wealthy countries who could afford it—are freely available to the public.
Today, Open Access is at the forefront of discussions about scholarly communications in the digital age. Open Access is taught in universities, debated in Parliaments, embraced and opposed by publishers, and most importantly, mandated by over 300 research funders and institutions, including the largest funder of research in the world, the U.S. National Institutes of Health. This rise to prominence is all the more remarkable when considering how ambitious the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI) was, as it sought to change an $8 billion industry. Few beyond the initial BOAI participants shared the vision that change was possible.
The release of the BOAI declaration, urging publishers and academics to make research freely available, was followed by two similar initiatives that strengthened the base of support for Open Access: the Bethesda Statement from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, and the Berlin Declaration which originated from the Max Planck Society. While HHMI, Max Planck, and OSF provided the framework, it has been the library and research communities who have organized their members and driven the Open Access agenda.
Today, scholarly content and research is freely available online to doctors, patients, professors, and students around the world. Nearly 7,500 academic journals are readily accessible in the Directory of Open Access Journals and more than 2,000 archives are included in the Directory of Open Access Repositories.
While much has been achieved to make research freely available, it's fair to say the BOAI was initially greeted with immense scepticism – even ridicule – by the traditional scholarly publishing sector. Many of my favorite milestones for the movement have to do with the gradual softening of that initial stance, as some traditional publishers have begun to see the value of Open Access to their business. The launch in 2006 of PLoS One, the Open Access "mega-journal," has been much copied by traditional publishers, and has put its OA publisher, the Public Library of Science, firmly in the black. The purchase of the OA publisher BioMed Central in 2008 by one of the two market leaders in scholarly journal publishing, Springer, further vindicated the OA model.
We are also encouraged by support from major donors for medical research and from academic institutions. The Wellcome Trust in the UK was the first funder in the world to mandate Open Access to the research it funds. Many of the schools of Harvard University have also adopted OA mandates. But the single most exciting development in this field has been the National Institutes of Health mandate, launched in 2008, that requires research they fund using taxpayer money be made publicly available. This mandate alone places $30 billion of research in the hands of the public every year.
However the fight for open access to research has not been won. The U.S. Congress is considering reversing the NIH mandate in a bill – the Research Works Act – backed by traditional publishers.
Discussions of Open Access policies will be just one item on the agenda of a gathering of OA leaders, taking place today and tomorrow in Budapest. We plan to develop a set of recommendations which will help guide the movement over the next ten years. We will be exploring issues of sustainability, what we can do to further support OA in developing and transition countries, and what implications OA has for measuring the impact of research, and encouraging its reuse. But just like the first meeting in Budapest, we will be keeping the agenda as open as possible. We want to encourage the creative thinking that led to the conception of Open Access in the first place, thinking that has inspired a global movement which cannot now be claimed by any single institution, but is a testament to the power of a good idea to spread across institutional boundaries and disciplines.

Thank you to Open Society for championing this movement. As an independent researcher and consultant, I depend on such open access to information to successfully undertake my work and serve my clients. I've just bookmarked the Directory of Open Access Journals and will turn to it again and again. I also believe that this movement will be immensely beneficial to students seeking access to education in non-traditional formats, such as the adult, female students with whom I will be working in Africa, who will be -hopefully - accessing their education via distance education. This movement is one step closer to achieving equal access to quality education for all!

Melissa, I could not agree more with this initative. I've been lucky enough to have access to online scholarly reserach throughout my undergraduate and graduate work, but cannot be certain I will have this same access once I am no longer a "student." Keep up the excellent work for the benefit of all life-long learners!
YES ! All scholarly works should be freely accessible (on the web). However, that creates a problem of authors being paid for their work. Perhaps a shareware approach would work; papers, or whole books could be downloaded without charge. If the recipient wants to pay something, then they should.
Perhaps only parts of whole books should be viewable, or downloadable. We are already experiencing that via "Look Inside" on Amazon, and Google Books Preview system.
Knowledge should be free
I am a "theoretically" retired African research botanist now living in the UK. I continue to mentor and work with scientists from Africa. We have begun to publish in Open Access journals (eg. Phytokeys http://www.pensoft.net/journals/phytokeys/article/1585/abstract/psoralea...) but find even that both unaffordable and problematic. Firstly, Open Access publication in botany is not free, whereas we still have access to mainstream journals that have free page charges. Secondly, the new Open Access journals have low citation ratings which disadvatage my University colleagues re promotion prospects and national science ratings and funding. So cost and the need for high citation ratings are big barriers for global open field competition by developing country scientists.Another downside of main stream publication is that we and our students cannot afford to even download our own research. So a few additional points to reflect on in this discussion.

Guide of the month: January 2018
Traveling gives us the opportunity to disconnect from our regular life. You get to forget your problems/issues for a few weeks, it can also help you figure things out that you would not have understood without the distance traveling can give you. We all have crazy schedules, work and a family to take care of, going away alone or with some friends can give you distance and perhaps even make you realize how important these people are for you. Like the saying says: we never know what we have until we lose it.
Another great benefit is the relaxation you get to do. It's nice to live life to its fullest and enjoy a stress free time with yourself. Going on vacation lets us recharge our "batteries" by disconnecting us from our regular life. When we come back we feel invigorated and we are happy to be back in our day to day routine. It's a very good stress remover that has a lot more to give than most people are willing to accept.
Traveling increases our knowledge and widens our perspective. To view new customs, different ways of living is fantastic for the mind. It gives us a new perspective about life and especially our life, it can help us change some of our habits or even create new ones. When I travel I usually make it a point to try new food, some cultures don't have fries in their diet and they are all skinny, others use spices to give taste and not oils or fats. Discovering different values and ways to get by in life is really interesting. You also need to visit exotic new places and discover what this wonderful world has to offer.

My favorite nugget from the piece: how Yoko Ono came in near the end of development of the game and tasked the devs to put a more "high-spirited and strong-willed" look in John Lennon's eyes. That's probably too esoteric a suggestion for a programmer thinking about the 1's and 0's.

how did mrs norris get petrified dangling upside down with a wall bracket pierced through her tail what was she doing up there in the first place. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Shephard123 (talk • contribs).
- Mrs Norris was probably patrolling the corridors as the others were at the feast. Ginny was forced by Riddle to open the Chamber and the Basilisk petrified the cat. Ginny then wrote the message on the wall in blood and hung Mrs Norris by the tail on a nearby wall bracket. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 00:29, May 11, 2010 (UTC)

Red eyes
I wonder how they got the red contacts on Mrs. Norris in C.O.S.
- My guess is the red eyes were drawn in with computer animation. Afterall, the cat's eyes are naturally GREEN (green gloves were worn by actors so the details could be drawn in later - ie: Albus Dumbledore's hands). Just a thought from a Maine Coon cat owner ... the cat who played Mrs. Norris is/ was a Maine Coon.

Prerequisite Grade
Theology & Religious Studies 097 is a prerequisite for any upper division theology and religious studies course; however, only a passing grade in TRS 097 is required, not a minimum grade of C-.
Upper Division
140 Topics in Christian Ethics
An investigation of a topic in Ethics not covered by the regular offerings of the department. Topics are announced prior to registration each semester. May be repeated for credit when content changes. Prerequisite: TRS 097.
141 Christian Ethics
This course introduces students to the disciplined study of ethics in the Roman Catholic tradition and the reformulation of Catholic ethics which has taken place in the spirit of Vatican II. The primary focus is on the fundamental topics of moral theology: what difference Jesus makes to moral theology, the role of scripture, virtue, the conscience sin and conversion, the fundamental option, proportionalism, the teaching authority of the church on moral matters and the relation of morality to civil law. Concrete issues such as contraception and homosexuality will be considered as test cases for Roman Catholic moral theology and as illustrations of the debates and tensions present in Catholic ethics since Vatican II. This course also integrates the insights of Christian ethics through a discussion of film and drama. Prerequisite: TRS 097.
142 Medical Ethics
Ethics–how we should live–is at the core of medical practice. With the dramatic changes in medical practice in recent decades, from new technologies, to changes in financing, to a changed conception of patient rights, medical ethics has rapidly moved form obscurity to become one of the most important areas of applied ethics. This course explores the relation between religious and moral values and choices we as individuals and as a society make about health care. Basic principles and methods of contemporary medical ethics will be introduced, along with a focus on virtue ethics and competing models of the patient-physician relationship. A wide range of issues will be analyzed: informed consent, confidentiality, research on human subjects, reproductive technology, appropriate care for seriously ill newborns, abortion, gene therapy, quality-of-life assessments, terminal sedation, withdrawal of nutrition and hydration, physician-assisted suicide, and proposals for health-care reform. Prerequisite: TRS 097.
143 Catholic Social Teachings
Explores the Catholic approach to questions of social justice (e.g., the problems of poverty, exploitation, and racism). Prerequisite: TRS 097.
194 Intensive Inquiry: Ethics
An in-depth investigation of a topic in Ethics, designed for TRS majors and minors. Topics are announced prior to registration each semester. May be repeated for credit when content changes. Prerequisite: Two TRS courses, or permission of instructor.

The members of the Durden Park Beer Circle welcome you to their web site.
We are a group of dedicated beer makers. Originally our main activity was based on the research, production and appreciation of Old British Beers particularly from around 1840 - 1914 when a vast range of quality beers were brewed. We continue this tradition and our aim is to produce quality beers of any type.
Please enter to find out more:
Our history and membership details
How to brew quality Old British Beers
Recipes (a selection of our favourite beers)
Our Publications (including 'Old British Beers and How to Make Them')
and much more
Brewers (novice or experienced, full mash or extract) are always welcome at our meetings.
Come along on the 3rd Monday of the month at 8 pm to Perivale Community Centre, UB6 7NP.
Dr. John Harrison (1925-2010)
Dr. John Harrison was probably one of the most influential persons in the world of amateur Wine making and Brewing. Having a doctorate in science and chemistry, enabled him to approach wine making from a very analytical viewpoint. Thanks to this, amateur wine makers were able to move on from making country wines, to creating passable imitations of some of the great wines of the world. His Dessert wines and Port recipes became classics.
The same approach was directed to brewing, and as an early member of Durden Park Beer Club, his knowledge soon inspired the club to embark on researching historical beers, and under his leadership, research into many brewing archives all over the UK was commenced.
The results of this intensive research mainly documented by John, enabled him, and Durden Park Beer Club members, to construct from brewer's notes, small scale recipes of these beers. This gave rise to the publication of their first book 'Old British Beers and How and to Make Them'. The recipes in this book allowed others to recreate these historical beers for themselves.
The success of this first book, led to further larger editions being published, and sold worldwide, firmly establishing Durden Park's brewing expertise and knowledge globally. The work of the club will continue, due to the still untapped wealth of knowledge accrued from the original research notes catalogued by John.
John Harrison unfortunately succumbed to Alzheimer's disease 10 years ago which ended his ability to enjoy our great hobby of Wine and Beer making. His expertise and knowledge however, will ensure the rest of us will be able to enjoy this hobby for many years to come.

WE WERE LOOKING at cathedrals while others were mourning and burying their dead.
It was the first day of the international design competition that would help choose a few architectural plans that might be used to rebuild Notre Dame de l'Assomption, Our Lady of the Assumption, Port-au-Prince's most famous cathedral. This cathedral was so central to the city that, before it was leveled in the Jan. 12, 2010, earthquake, its turrets could be seen from most places in Port-au-Prince, as well as from the sea, where mariners used a light on the cupola of the church's north tower to help bring their ships home.
During the 2010 earthquake, the Catholic archbishop of Port-au-Prince, Monsignor Joseph Serge Miot, was killed inside an administrative building adjoining the cathedral, along with priests and parishioners. It was the images of their crushed bodies and their loved ones wailing around the perimeters of the cathedral's rubble that motivated me, a non-architect and non-Catholic—but a lover of cathedrals—to agree to join a development strategist, a preservationist architect, a structural engineer, a priest and liturgical consultant, the dean and associate dean of two architectural schools, and the editor of a magazine that discusses the dual issues of faith and architecture to help select three out of the 134 moving, elegant, and in some cases totally out-there designs that we had received from architects all over the world. Among the panelists, three of us were Haitian born, and many of the others had either worked in Haiti or in the Catholic Church for years.

Kennedy, Leonoff, Mock, Murray and Summers Join Bulldogs
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Yale women's ice hockey team, entering its second season under head coach Joakim Flygh, welcomes five incoming freshmen to the roster for 2011-12. The Class of 2015 includes three forwards, one defenseman and one goaltender. They represent three different Canadian provinces (Alberta, Ontario and Quebec) and two U.S. states (Florida and Michigan).
The incoming Bulldogs bring a wide variety of experiences both on and off the ice. In addition to hockey accomplishments such as a PWHL championship (Lynn Kennedy with the Toronto Junior Aeros), a bronze medal at the Canada Games (Jaimie Leonoff with the Team Quebec Under-18 Team) and an Under-18 National Championship (Madi Murray with Shattuck-St. Mary's), they have also volunteered with the American Cancer Society and donated to Locks of Love (Stephanie Mock) and earned MWEHL All-Academic honors (Kelsey Summers). Murray also has connections both to Flygh (her cousin Sara Murray played for him when he was an assistant at Minnesota-Duluth) and the NHL (her uncle Andy Murray coached the L.A. Kings and St. Louis Blues).
The five freshmen join a group of 19 returnees as Yale seeks to continue the improvements shown in Flygh's first season. The Bulldogs scored 42 goals in conference play, a 17 percent improvement over the previous season, and return five of their top six scorers.
Here is a look at the newest Bulldogs:
