His leadership and television interviews have gone trough out the world, Luden Centeno Perez of Spanish Converso Marano Jewish background who's ancestors came from Spain during the Inquisition .Uriel speaks on terror related issues concerning Israel resides permanently in Jerusalem. His analysis of Middle Eastern events as they relate to Israel is regularly broadcast through internet radio and television through out the world. Luden has given close to 500 television interviews in Israel Jerusalem and broadcasts live from Jerusalem Israel on the radio.And once a month speaks to 147 nations via the USA radio. On his last 8 radio programs he has had over 500,00 listeners listening live from Jerusalem On one of our last video we had over 40,000 who watched live our video from Jerusalem. Our main goal is totell the world that Israel has the right to defend herself from any form of agression and terrorism that comes out of Ramallah and the occupied territories that belong to Israel. Israel faces many difficult challenges and dangers in the days and weeks and months to come mark my words see Psalms 83' . There is an unprecedented propaganda campaign initiated by the Arab League and many others to demonize, discredit and delegitimize the Jewish people and their state, within their own land! The efforts of the Arab League were recently seen in the UN Resolution 2334 text as follows, adopted by the UN Security Council at its 7853rd meeting, on 23 December 2016. Reaffirming its relevant resolutions, including resolutions 242 (1967), 338 (1973), 446 (1979), 452 (1979), 465 (1980), 476 (1980), 478 (1980), 1397 (2002), 1515 (2003), and 1850 (2008), guided by the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations, and reaffirming, inter alia, the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by force, reaffirming the obligation of Israel, the occupying Power, to abide scrupulously by its legal obligations and responsibilities under the Fourth Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War of 12 August 1949, and recalling the advisory opinion rendered on 9 July 2004 by the International Court of Justice, condemning all measures aimed at altering the demographic composition, character and status of the Palestinian Territory occupied since 1967, including East Jerusalem, including, inter alia, the construction and expansion of settlements, transfer of Israeli settlers, confiscation of land, demolition of homes and displacement of Palestinian civilians, in violation of international humanitarian law and relevant resolutions. In order to achieve their goals, the Arabs and many other countries have for more than 30 years resorted to a deliberate misinformation campaign. This propaganda campaign by the Arab League and many other nations – both in their own countries and for the last four decades exported to Europe and North America has caused Israel what would seem irreparable damage and indeed, it was the main culprit in the reawakening of dormant European anti-Semitism. Israel continues to suffer many attacks from terrorists within and should give in to any presure imposed by the USA, the EU. the Quartet, nor the UN. The former Obama administration and others have been working behind the scenes to get many UN Resolution passed against Israel as we see here on Un resolution 2334 to pass. even while allowing Iran to continue to develop their nuclear facilities by using John Kerry and others to fulfill their hidden agenda. On December 23rd 2016 the US abstained from exercising its veto to UN resolution 2334 which allowed it to pass. Then John Kerry immediately blasted Israel over the presence of Israeli settlements within Israel's own land. The Obama Administration's hidden agenda came to light. The former Obama administration was trying to force Israel to give up more land for false peace as we have seen in the past. Judea and Samaria and possibly the Jordan Valley were on the negotiating table. For perspective, if the so-called fake Palestinians obtained Judea and Samaria and possibly the Jordan Valley, Givat HaRoe'eh in the Samaria community of Eli, Ramat Gilad and Giv'at Assaf (also in Samaria), and Mitzpeh Lachish, near Nehogot outside Hebron. they could easily rain down rockets towards any city within Israel, leaving without defensible borders. We say NO to land for false peace as we have seen in Gush Katiff offered in the past. US President Barrack Hussein Obama had a hidden agenda against Israel and many other nations Israel will face many difficult days and months ahead (see Tehillim / Psalms 83) As we have seen what happened with Gush Katif where over 18,000 rockets have been fired towards Israel.Many Jews were forced out of their own Jewish land due to US pressure, now Bet El Almuna and Migron and Judea and Samaria face the same threat. More than 24,000 rockets have been fired from the Gaza Strip into Israel since Israel uprootedmore than 10,000 Jewish families. Over 24.000 rockets have been fired from Gaza towards the southern Israeli city of Sderot Ashkelon Tel Aviv by Islamist extremist whose end-game is the total destruction of my people Israel. Hamas terrorists are supported by Iran and now Hamas has joined hands with Fatah. The Iranian Lebanese proxy Hezbollah who also operate in Syria are committed to the total destruction of Israel. Now Al Qaeda and ISIS who are operating in Syria Egypt and the Sinai Desert will do anything in their power to destroy my people Israel and all Jews. Judea and Samaria (the heartland of Israel also known as the West Bank) face many challenges in the days to come as Abu Mazen will try to pressure the entire world and former US President Barrack Hussein Obama the EU and the Quartet into giving more land for false peace. We saw what happened after the Oslo Accords were signed, dramatically increasing Islamic terror against Israel. Abu Mazen the Palestinian Authority leader approached the United Nations in November 2012 and petitioned to be declared as a recognized nation within Israel's known borders. The time has come to tell the entire world the real truth about the enemies of Israel. We speak on the Quran using a Power Point video presentation. We have been aired on CNN, German TV, Finland TV, CCTV, China Al Jazera, Al Arabiya Turk TV and many radio stations on the current issues of Israel. Luden Centeno has a heart for his people Israel and will continue to inform the entire world the real truth as many News Media outlets throughout the world hold anti-Semitic views and won't tell you the real truth. Centeno, a former police officer who studied Political Science at Temple University USA was born in the USA and currently lives in Jerusalem Israel, knowing karate and boxing having played semi-pro baseball. He has two children, a girl and a son, both born in Jerusalem. Centeno discovered in 2004 that there were possible Converso Marrano Jews from Spain whose ancestors were forced to convert to Catholicism during the time of the Inquisition in 1492. The family names Centeno and Perez are registered in El Libro Verde De Aragon in Spain. The Roman Catholic Inquisitors maintained all the names of all Jewish families who were forced to convert to Catholicism during that horrible time period in Spain. Since 2004 Centeno has been flying intercontinentally to the USA speaking to the nations on the current issues of the the state of Israel (see Psalms 83′ as the nations gather against Israel.) He has spoken on Al Arabiya TV Al Jazeera, Dubai TV, Holland TV, German TV Finland TV and also on American Family Radio which links up with 700 radio stations. His goal is to educate the entire world that Israel has the right to self-determination and the right to defend itself from terrorism. The Moslem Arabs in that area started calling themselves "Palestinians" merely only 40 years ago. "Palestinian" refers to people who live in Palestine: Arabs ("Arabic speaking peoples"), Bedouins, Druze, Christians, and Jews lived in then the British Mandate of Palestine. No people or nation called Palestine ever ruled as a sovereign national entity on this land. There is no Palestinian language or culture in past history. Palestine, as a country does not presently exist. No Arab nation has their historical roots on the land and no one had laid claim to this territory other than the Jews. The Jewish rule of this land extended over a period of over 2000 years. Israel became a nation in the land in 1312 BC. God gave them the land in a covenant (Deuteronomy 29:1-30:20) and they lived there. See the following Quote from the Quran, "Death to the enemies of Allah! Those that make war against Allah and His apostle and spread disorder in the land shall be slain or crucified or have their hands and feet cut off on alternate sides, or be banished from the land. They shall be held up to shame in this world and sternly punished in the hereafter: except those that repent before you reduce them. For you must know that Allah is..." This is what radical Islam says about us Jews' "The Day of Judgement will not come about until Muslims fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Muslims, O Abdullah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. Only the Gharkad tree, (a certain kind of tree) would not do that because it is one of the trees of the Jews." (related by al-Bukhari and Muslim) A letter from leading rabbis here in Israel ? 'You will be remembered in the history of the Jewish people' "We are privileged to be seeing the rebuilding of Jerusalem," wrote the rabbis. "'Children play in its streets' (Zechariah 8:4) and we are confident in the fulfillment of all the prophecies. The United States is privileged to be one of the first nations to support the establishment of the State of Israel. US presidents have had the privilege of being at Israel's side and being a partner in the fulfillment of the vision of the prophets regarding the return to Zion and the establishment of the State of Israel." They continued, "We are confident that you will be remembered in the history of the Jewish people as one who stood at the forefront fearlessly. May it be His will that God's promise to Joshua (1:9) should be fulfilled in you: 'Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go'—amen, amen." "With this recognition, we see the fulfillment of another step in the completion of the prophecy of Isaiah that the nations of the world will recognize the centrality of Jerusalem," said Rabbi Eliyahu. "'For Zion's sake I will not keep silent, for Jerusalem's sake I will not remain quiet, till her vindication shines out like the dawn, her salvation like a blazing torch. The nations will see your vindication' (Isaiah 62:1). We hope that other enlightened and believing nations will follow in the footsteps of the United States." Psalms Chapter 83 תְּהִלִּים א שִׁיר מִזְמוֹר לְאָסָף. 1 A Song, a Psalm of Asaph. ב אֱלֹהִים אַל-דֳּמִי-לָךְ; אַל-תֶּחֱרַשׁ וְאַל-תִּשְׁקֹט אֵל. 2 O God, keep not Thou silence; hold not Thy peace, and be not still, O God. ג כִּי-הִנֵּה אוֹיְבֶיךָ, יֶהֱמָיוּן; וּמְשַׂנְאֶיךָ, נָשְׂאוּ רֹאשׁ. 3 For, lo, Thine enemies are in an uproar; and they that hate Thee have lifted up the head. ד עַל-עַמְּךָ, יַעֲרִימוּ סוֹד; וְיִתְיָעֲצוּ, עַל-צְפוּנֶיךָ. 4 They hold crafty converse against Thy people, and take counsel against Thy treasured ones. ה אָמְרוּ–לְכוּ, וְנַכְחִידֵם מִגּוֹי; וְלֹא-יִזָּכֵר שֵׁם-יִשְׂרָאֵל עוֹד. 5 They have said: 'Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.' ו כִּי נוֹעֲצוּ לֵב יַחְדָּו; עָלֶיךָ, בְּרִית יִכְרֹתוּ. 6 For they have consulted together with one consent; against Thee do they make a covenant; God's word says in Zechariah 8:23 "Thus saith the LORD of Hosts: In Those days it shall come to pass, That ten men shall take hold, out of all the languages of the nations, shall even take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying: We will go with you, for we have heard that God is with you."

Planning and Evaluation for Gender Equality in Education in the Context of HIV and AIDS (2005)
Paper presented at Seminar in Dhaka on 31 January-1 February 2005

This paper aims to explore issues of gender in relation to planning for education development in the context of tackling HIV and AIDS. It is becoming increasingly clear that as far as sub-Saharan Africa is concerned, unless measures are taken to mitigate the impact of AIDS on the education system and children in particular, it is unlikely that universal primary education will be achieved by 2015. Other regions of the world cannot afford to be complacent as many national epidemics continue to grow in magnitude. While responding to the impact of AIDS is an important planning dimension, it is also vital to address HIV prevention in schools too. These two aspects need to be considered in developing national education strategies as mainstream issues and interventions need to be tailored to the state of the national epidemic.

How Might an Iran Deal Worsen Iraq's Increasing Energy Chaos?
Just as Iraq is suddenly becoming a more unstable place for Western energy companies, the world's leaders will resume their negotiations with its neighbor Iran on Wednesday. The talks are intended to thrash out a lessening of the tension between the rogue country and most other nations, to reduce strict sanctions -- primarily banking- and energy-related -- that have been imposed on Tehran, and to at least slow the country's drive toward nuclear weapons capability.
But it seems that a key question for energy investors suddenly becomes how, should Iran be even somewhat liberated from its debilitating economic shackles, its influence in Iraq might be altered. That's recently become far more than an academic inquiry. Within just the past week, oil-field services giantsSchlumberger and Baker Hughes at least temporarily halted their Iraqi operations in the face of sometimes violent erruptions in the country.
Disrespect to the imam?
Indeed, last week demonstrations erupted against Schlumberger as it worked on the giant Rumaila field, to the nation's south. Apparently, a British worker for the company had tried to remove flags honoring Imam Hussein, an iconic figure among Shiite Muslims. The Shiite community is currently celebrating Hussein's death 1,000 years ago.
Schlumberger's offices in the Basra province were badly damaged in the process. However, it was soon announced that the company's work at Rumaila, which had been briefly suspended, will be resumed. The huge field is being operated primarily by BP.
At about the same time that Schlumberger temporarily ceased its activities in Iraq, Baker Hughes announced that it, too, was halting its own work in Iraq. It seems possible that Baker's decision was tied to the attacks on its larger rival's compound, but that remains unclear. Late last week, a Baker Hughes spokeswoman would say only, "Right now our focus in on the security of our people."
Unprofitable and insecure operations
Iraq also has hardly resulted in a financial windfall for the companies. The largest of the integrated majors, ExxonMobil , is selling its interest in the West Qurna-1 field, also in Basra, and moving on.
In July, Weatherford International , another sizable services company, announced that it was abandoning its unprofitable operations in the country. Weatherford management had earlier made much of what it considered to be its bright prospects in Iraq. Earlier this month, the managing director of Royal Dutch Shell's Iraq operation observed, "Oil companies are certainly reassessing their calculations with respect to the targeting of work sites in Iraq, which is still witnessing security breaches in all sectors."
So, as we head for a potential deal with Iran, it's important to observe -- as I did in a Foolish piece a half-dozen years ago -- Iraq's vital location in the Middle East: Saudi Arabia sits to its south, Iran is at its east, and Syria to its northwest. Only Iraq and the Persian Gulf separate largely Shiite Iran from the primarily Sunni Saudi kingdom. The latter two countries have long been at loggerheads, and the balance between them could be affected by Iraq's Shiite majority.
And how would the increasing instability in Iraq potentially be affected by negations between the P5+1 countries (Britain, France, the U.S., Russia, and China, plus Germany) and Iran? And how should investors with an energy bent play the possibility that those talks could lead to removing the major countries' boots from Iran's neck?
Foolish conclusion
My feeling is that a reinvigorated Iran would be increasingly at liberty to insert itself into Iraq's already dicey affairs, and probably not in a good way. Indeed, that's a salient concern of other nations in the region, including the Saudis and the United Arab Emirates, which, like Israel, take a dim view of the talks' potential results.
For now, I'll limit my investment recommendation to the oil-field services sector. In doing so, I'll only note that I'm inclined to find even more favor in behemoth Schlumberger. Among other things, its industry-leading geographic spread could render heightened Middle East outbreaks less deleterious to it than to its peers.

I just upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04 from 10.10 using direct Internet connection and now just new looking desktop (with the Launcher on the left) is shown and system hangs. Mouse cursor is moving but clicking icons and keyboard shortcuts have no effect. Maybe something went wrong during upgrade procedure. you know, It did not finished correctly; at the last seconds of installing upgrades it gave an error saying "it can not acquire lock" and exited. I just manually clicked "restart to complete upgrade" from the menu. I run the upgrade routine again but it says the system is upgraded.
No shortcut key works, (I hit win key or Alt+F2 but the result is nothing). Yes, Caps lock is working. I mean that when I press it the Caps Lock light turns on). I am sure that there is no special process that makes CPU busy, mouse cursor is moving so fast and my CPU fans are in normal mode and does not make loud noise. I boot in Recovery mode and typed the upgrade command and as I said it says that the system is already upgraded. You know, the situation is very similar to a state that you have a window in front and clicking items in the background has no result. I haven`t installed Ubuntu from wubi.

Biochemical Failure
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
What does biochemical failure mean?
Richard Whittington, MD, Associate Professor of Radiation Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, responds:
Biochemical failure is the return of a previously treated prostate cancer, which is determined by a rising PSA (prostate specific antigen). This differs from clinical failure, which is detected by a radiology scan (such as CAT scan or bone scan) or tissue biopsy.
There is no standard definition of biochemical failure. Some people say biochemical failure is defined as 3 consecutive rises in PSA, while others say it is defined as 2.0 ng above the lowest post-treatment measurement. Still some others will qualify their answer by saying 3 rises with a minimum total rise of 1.0ng/ml. Even after radical prostatectomy, and knowing that the only thing in the body that makes PSA is the normal prostate gland or prostate cancer, some people still say that a PSA of 0.1 is a recurrence, while others use 0.2 or 0.4 (2 rises above "undetectable").

I'm meeting Y, my girlfriend, in the subway station at 6:45. It'll be the first time I leave the apartment today. Y broke the door off the cabinet last night and I was supposed to fix it. I couldn't. I figure I'll say it's because there's a screw missing. Find that screw, and I'll have the door back on no problemo. Two minutes, tops. Yeah, the screw is my scapegoat, and I'm thankful for it. I know that Y will see right through this, but I figure I'll say it anyways. I must have some sort of excuse. It's expected of me.
When she comes out of the subway station, I'm waiting for her. She looks lovely. Outside, Seoul has gone cold, winter jacket mean. Y's face is reactive; she turns it away from the wind and scowls. I haven't had my hair cut since September and we walk to a barber shop. There's a spinning barber's pole outside the place, pink and yellow, cartoon girls with big eyes going round and round. The lady inside sits me down and asks Y what she's supposed to do to me. Y tells her something in Korean, relaxing in the seat next to me, and soon there's hair falling from my head. I hate getting my hair cut, having to look at myself in the mirror, practically forced to, my heinous image inescapable; when it's mercifully over, the lady asks me if it's okay, and I, in turn, ask Y.
Afterwards, Y takes me to a restaurant where she orders us Canadian eel. We put the long, thin eels, dressed in red spices, onto a grill and cut them to shreds with scissors. The meat is chewy. Y's ponytail has come undone; it's losing its sense of order, a long strand of hair going down the side of her face. She's got a yellow shirt on and a necklace with big white plastic pearls. I don't think she's ever looked more beautiful. We eat the eel with mint leaves and garlic cloves. I tell her she looks beautiful and she laughs.
Which, while not the intended response, is okay, since it emphasizes my point.
On the way back, it starts to snow. This is the first snow either of us has seen this year. Sure, it's freezing cold and dark outside, but that's all background noise. I feel so proud walking next to Y. I want to kiss her. It's only a short walk home, and the snow falls softly down on her black hair.

Wegmans Menu mag celebrates 10 years
@font-face {
font-family: "Times New Roman";
}p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal { margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman"; }table.MsoNormalTable { font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman"; }div.Section1 { page: Section1; }ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Wegmans on Thursday celebrated the 10th anniversary of its Wegmans Menu magazine, a free publication highlighting ideas for easy, healthy and affordable meals for the season. In those 10 years, the magazine has reached a circulation of nearly 1 million.
"When we launched Wegmans Menu magazine 10 years ago, we wanted to share our passion for food with readers," stated Wegmans CEO Danny Wegman. "We wanted to give them help making meals easy, healthy and affordable, and wanted to encourage them to eat more vegetables and fruit."
"Our Meal and Recipe Development Team, which includes several of our executive chefs, does an amazing job making ideas work in the kitchen," commented John Hawkes, Wegmans Menu editor.
Recipes now are grouped toward the front of the magazine with feature articles toward the back, so readers can find what they're looking for quickly. New features have been added over the years, including "Chefs Unplugged," for home cooks ready to go beyond the ordinary. In the current issue, Wegmans executive chef for Asian cuisine, Kenny Chei, shared recipes and tips for making dim sum.
The publication also has embraced an age where many shoppers consume their media over their smart phones — several of the magazine's articles contain a Quick Response code, a type of bar code that conveys instructions to mobile devices. For example, the QR code can direct a phone to a video hosted on Wegmans.com.
Rounding out the current issue of the magazine are articles on healthy living, the seasonal pantry and in-depth pieces on foods worth knowing more about.

It is that time of year again. Whether it is three feet deep in snow or bustling with cover crop and fava beans, your garden is calling you. Seed packets have arrived or are en route. The sun is slanting, peeking out more from behind the crowds and the soil is waking up.
But that is just the thing, if you want to have a truly successful vegetable garden, the soil is the place to start. You need to get, in a word, grounded.
My favorite way, to date, to rejuvenate my garden soil is with lasagna gardening, also known as sheet mulching. I first discovered this in Gaia's Garden, the permaculture bible, and have employed one form or another of sheet mulching in six different locations at two different homes. Despite clay and buried toys (hey, I live in suburbia), I've always had miraculous results. The most basic method is this (water in between each step):
- aerate the soil with a pitch fork, lawn butler, what have you
- cover prepared soil with layered newspaper or cardboard (I prefer cardboard because it doesn't blow away as easily and because I don't read the newspaper but do order more than I should online)
- cover cardboard with manure, chicken poop, manure from a horse boarding facility, goat farm, what have you
- cover manure with straw or dried leaves or similar
- cover straw or leaves with a thick layer of compost
Sources differ on how much to layer or may add additional steps or layers. That's fine but it doesn't have to be complicated. I followed these steps as half-heartedly as possible last year and still moved from thick clay to loose, rich soil teeming with worms and other bugs.
"Cover crop" is a term used for plants grown in a particular area to fix large amounts of nitrogen in the soil, provide a habitat for beneficial insects and choke out the weeds.
I plant a cover crop ever fall, like clockwork, for the last 5 or 6 years. Sometimes, I couple the cover crop with sheet mulch. Sometimes, I just throw it on a vacant area in the garden. Cover crop can also be planted in the spring but as I have a smallish garden in a temperate climate, I stick with fall.
I cannot vouch for the amount of nitrogen the cover crop is allegedly "fixing" in my soil and I don't notice improvements in the soil or fertility as with the sheet mulch. I do, however, notice an increase in beneficial insects - mostly lady bugs - and other critters - a toad once! There are also fewer weeds and plenty of greens to feed the chickens over-winter. Bonus? I don't cut down the fava beans until we've eaten most of them (timing works with my pumpkin patch). I also harvest a number of the peas as snap peas before mowing down the cover crop (and adding it to the compost pile). Final plus to the cover crop? It's pretty.
I first came across this idea on Pinterest. Basically, you dig a trench, put down some cardboard, then a pile of wood or sticks, cover with sod, then straw or leaves (if desired) and the top it all with soil. It sounds like the sheet mulching method but apparently the decaying wood creates (1) a warmer microclimate in the garden and (2) the bed requires little to no irrigation.
The latter interests me given the little rain our region has had this winter. So that, and the fact that we removed a tree this year, lead me to try out this "hill culture bed" on a very small scale. Supposedly, the bed needs to have wood stacked to a minimum height of 2'. I'm going to be very generous with my mound, call it 2' and assume that it is the thought that counts. Because new wood gives off a fair amount of nitrogen as it decays, I'm planting something that is not as affected by higher nitrogen levels - beans. I'll report back on my little Hugelkultur later this year.
* Here's another link to Hugelkultur.
Finally, if your garden is a temporary one, one that you'd like to get growing in mighty quick or if you just feel like it, raised bed gardening is a quick way to have have high quality soil in which to plant. I am a fan of raised beds for certain plants - like tomatoes (though I've grown these well in sheet mulched gardens as well) and non-potato root vegetables. My current garden hosts three wooden beds. I am adding one made of sticks and one in a large galvanized trough this season. I've also seen loads of ideas for using rocks, broken concrete, straw bales, and more to form raised beds.
|Galvanized stock tanks with holes punched in the bottom make handy raised beds.

Latest media releases
UBS consumption indicator continues to soften
The UBS consumption indicator softened further in November. At 0.96, it was at its lowest level since March 2005 and remained under its long-term average value for the second time in a row. The outlook for private consumption in Switzerland is thus continuing to worsen.
In November, the monthly UBS consumption indicator fell further from 1.32 to 0.96, its lowest value in three and a half years. It confirmed the downward trend since the middle of the year and the indicator remains under its long-term average of 1.50.
The UBS consumption indicator is calculated from five sub-indicators: new car sales, business activity in the retail sector, the number of domestic overnight stays in hotels by Swiss residents, the consumer sentiment index and credit card transactions via UBS at points of sale in Switzerland. The heavy decline in November can be traced to a weakening of all five sub-indicators. While the decline in domestic overnight stays in hotels by Swiss residents is seasonal, 16% less new car registrations compared to the year before and the fall of the consumer sentiment index both point to a decline in the propensity to consume. Although business activity in the retail sector has remained above its long-term average, even here the downward trend is continuing.
At its current level, the UBS consumption indicator signals that Swiss consumer spending will continue to grow. However, prospects are becoming increasingly dim. In the course of the economic downturn, unemployment may increase in the coming months, which will have a negative impact on consumption tendencies. On the other hand, it can be positively noted that declining inflation, particularly with regard to energy, is supporting purchasing power and thus private consumption as well. After a presumed real growth in private consumption of 1.8% in 2008, UBS is counting on a modest 0.5% increase for 2009.
UBS Consumption Indicator and private consumption in Switzerland
(Private consumption: year-on-year change in %, UBS Consumption Indicator: index level)
Calculation of the UBS Consumption Indicator:
The UBS Consumption Indicator signals private consumption trends in Switzerland with a lead of about three months on the official figures. At 58%, private consumption is by far the most important component of Swiss GDP. UBS calculates this leading indicator from five consumer-related parameters: new car sales, the business situation in the retail trade, the number of overnight hotel stays by Swiss nationals in Switzerland, the consumer sentiment index and credit card transactions made via UBS at points of sale in Switzerland. With the exception of the consumer sentiment index, all of these data are available monthly.

Yet More Collateral Damage From SOPA/PIPA: Activism Through Satire
from the you-can't-say-that dept
Among the many high-profile organizations that are joining the SOPA blackout today is Greenpeace. That's great, except that you can't read an important post on the Greenpeace UK web site about why it is opposing SOPA and PIPA (it should be available at 5 pm PST from the home page or here.)
Quite naturally Greenpeace looks at the SOPA/PIPA legislation from the perspective of an extremely successful activist organization – and it doesn't like what it sees. That's because of the way it works against some of the biggest and most powerful businesses in the world - by turning their own words and brands against them:
We use corporations' own language, their own marketing, their own strength against them - which is sometimes the only way that an entirely supporter-funded operation like ours can afford to put a spotlight on the negative side of their operations.
Greenpeace certainly isn't alone in deploying mockery online to needle companies about the things they'd rather keep quiet: it's particularly effective for smaller groups that can't afford expensive, conventional campaigns. But such satire frequently depends upon using authentic elements from the marketing materials of the organizations they tackle. The extremely broad framing of SOPA/PIPA means that the large, well-lawyered enterprises of the world will have powerful new weapons for suppressing this kind of protest by claiming that their intellectual property is being harmed as a result.
Thing is, while court case after court case has agreed with us that parody is a protected form of free speech, the corporations at the pointy end of our parodies tend to disagree. Exxon/Esso took us to court in France over alleged copyright infringement of their logo when we launched a campaign against them:
Esso said we were in violation of their intellectual property rights. We said it was free speech. The court agreed with us, and in an historic decision, we won. But had that decision been left to Exxon/Esso, we would have been shut down.
Nestlé's Kit Kat brand famously failed when it attempted to have our spoof video featuring its brand - and critical of their support for rainforest destruction - removed from YouTube for trademark violation. Hundreds of our supporters reposted the video on other sites and their own Facebook profiles.
The penalties are so disproportionate – losing access to the main payment systems would cripple any supporter-funded group – that few would take the chance of having SOPA/PIPA invoked against them. The end result would be more cautious, less exciting – and less successful – campaigns in the future. Small wonder, then, that no multinationals outside the Internet industry have come out against SOPA or PIPA.

The Value Line Daily Options Survey
The Weekly Option Strategist, October 6, 2011
This week, we kick off a new series of spotlights on option opportunities on individual stocks, starting with Xerox Corp (XRX). With the stock down 33% from end-June levels, and with a P/E ratio this is less than half the market's, Xerox is steeply undervalued, according to our analysis. In looking at Xerox options, we see opportunities for covered call writes, cash-covered put writes, and outright longer-term call purchases.
Xerox Corp (XRX) develops, manufactures, markets, finances, and services a wide range of copiers, laser printers, and document publishing equipment. The company has had to deal with some strong headwinds recently, caused in part by the effects of the Tsunami on sales in Japan and by costs incurred by some sizable project awards received by Affiliated Computer Services (ACS; acquired in February, 2010). On the other hand, ACS accounts for most of 2011's estimated 6% revenue gain, and further consolidation savings are more than offsetting the impact of the aforementioned challenges.
We believe that bullish positions in Xerox are attractive at this time. The stock's common rank (i.e., Timeliness rank in the Investment Survey) was raised to a 2 (above average) on 7/08/2011, and its technical rank was raised to a 2 on 9/16/2011. Adjusted earnings are on track to advance almost 20% this year, and a low-double-digit percentage gain appears to be in the cards for next year. Moreover, following a share-price decline of about 33% since June, the P/E ratio, based on this year's estimate of $1.10 a share, of 6.2 is about one-half the average market level of the past five years. In addition, the stock is selling at only 3.8 times its 2011 likely cash flow per share. The current dividend yield is a decent 2.32%.
Xerox greatly broadened the scope of its offerings with the February, 2010 purchase of Affiliated Computer Services (ACS), the largest business outsourcing company in the United States. Thanks to cross-selling opportunities and global expansion, the subsidiary's backlog has increased considerably over the past year. Meanwhile, Xerox's research program, which is now focused on color output printers/copiers, has been quite fruitful lately. Thanks to this program, the company has the leading market share for digital publishing in the U.S. and Europe. Over the three to five year horizon, we see the stock appreciating by between 85% to165% based on a projected 60% increase in share earnings and a reversion to a P/E ratio that is much closer to that of the stock market.
Because of Xerox's low stock price ($7.13 at the time of this writing) and because the strike price intervals are usually $1.00, there are only limited option choices. However, the few close-to-the-money Xerox options that there are tend to show good liquidity and reasonably narrow bid/ask spreads.
Investors might consider the January 2012 $7.50 call with a bid price of $0.61 and an asking price of $0.62. It offers a 33.65% per annum return, with 9.25% downside protection, and maximum profit potential of 15.72%.
A more protected short-term trade might be the November $6.00 cash-covered put. The stock would have to fall 18.30% to $5.83 before the investor would lose money. Note that the 12-month trading range for XRZ has been $6.55 to $12.08 a share. The position offers a per annum yield of 23.64%. However, its maximum profit potential is limited to the 2.98% un-annualized return from the premium received.
More aggressive investors might consider buying the April 2012 call at $0.66. This call is 27.37% underpriced, according to our model, and offers nearly 5 to 1 upside leverage if the stock were to score a 10% gain in the near future.

No queries about Ryan Gosling please, says Eva Mendes
Los Angeles;
Actress Eva Mendes, who is dating Ryan Gosling, shut herself down when a journalist questioned her about her love life.
"I'm sorry. I'm shutting down. I'm such a weirdo...," Mendes said to a journalist when asked about her romance with the Gangster Squadstar, reports contactmusic.com.
Mendes also did not respond to speculation that the couple was planning to marry and start a family before her next birthday. She said she tries to ignore gossip about her own life.
"I live in a very protective kind of bubble that I've created for myself," she said.

Bench-Top Analyzer Receives an Upgrade
Arizona Instrument announced the release of the next generation of bench-top moisture and ash analyzers, the Computrac MAX 5000XL. The MAX 5000XL advances the state of the art in rapid moisture and ash analysis with a new temperature controlled balance and high temperature lift compensation algorithm that provides users with more stable and accurate measurements. The new instrument also features a temperature ramp control feature that allows the MAX 5000XL to be used for qualitative analyses that were previously only possible using a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA).
The new MAX 5000XL features the same intuitive user interface and rugged design as its predecessor the MAX 5000. Improvements to the design and high temperature performance of the balance system of the MAX 5000XL now make it possible to accurately analyze materials with ash concentrations of as little as 0.5%. The calibrated, instrument specific, high temperature lift compensation algorithm replaces the static lift compensation factor of previous models, resulting in more precise readings during ash/L.O.I. analyses.
The new temperature ramp control feature of the MAX 5000XL allows the user to capture the weight loss of a sample during a precisely controlled temperature change. Information gained from this test is similar to a scan performed by a more expensive thermogravimetric analyzer. This new feature effectively transforms the MAX 5000XL into a dual use instrument capable of quantitatively testing for moisture and ash and qualitatively testing for the presence of certain organic or inorganic ingredients, and the degradation temperature of the material under test.

Sooners Thump Cincinnati, 52-26
NORMAN, Okla. (AP) -- For a kid who grew up practically in the shadows of Owen Field, Ryan Broyles ' chance to play for Oklahoma seemed to be a long time coming.
It turned out to be well worth the wait.
Broyles set an Oklahoma freshman record with 141 receiving yards, Jermaine Gresham caught two of Sam Bradford 's five touchdown passes and the fourth-ranked Sooners extended the nation's longest home winning streak to 20 games with a 52-26 victory against Cincinnati on Saturday.
Broyles went to Norman High School but kept flip-flopping between whether to play for the Sooners or their in-state rival, Oklahoma State. His decision didn't come until signing day, and even then he hadn't cleared the final roadblock to play in crimson and cream.
He was arrested for stealing gas from a Norman gas station the day before Oklahoma's season opener last year, eventually pleading no contest, and took a redshirt behind a loaded group of receivers.
Then his debut was delayed another week when he was suspended for last week's season opener against Chattanooga.
''Just growing up in Norman and seeing how big everything is around here, and now finally getting a chance to play, it's a great feeling,'' Broyles said.
Broyles had a 27-yard touchdown reception in the first quarter and extended a key second-half drive with a leaping 43-yard catch to allow the Sooners (2-0) to start pulling away with 24 consecutive points. His receiving total was the most by any Sooners player in his debut and surpassed Tinker Owens' record of 132 receiving yards by a freshman.
''I just don't let it get to my head really. This is the first game I've been out there, so I think I have a lot to prove,'' Broyles said.
Oklahoma's home winning streak, which started after TCU snapped the Sooners' 19-game stretch in the 2005 opener, is the third-longest in school history and the first that long since a 20-game stretch that lasted from 1976 to 1980.
Bradford overcame only the second multiple-interception game of his career to throw for a career-best 395 yards and five touchdowns, the third time he's reached that mark and also tying the school record held by 2003 Heisman Trophy winner Jason White and 2000 Heisman runner-up Josh Heupel.
He was glad to have Broyles on the field on a crucial third-and-9 play with the Sooners leading only 28-20 in the third quarter. Bradford lofted a lob deep down the right sideline, and Broyles jumped to take it away from two defenders for a 43-yard catch.
''I want to thank him for that, for bailing me out, because if that was incomplete I was going to get an earful coming to the sideline,'' said Bradford, whose only other two-interception game was in last season's upset loss at Colorado. ''That's just a great play.''
Four plays later, Bradford extended the drive again with a successful sneak on fourth-and-inches, and DeMarco Murray finished the drive by going untouched up the middle for an 11-yard TD run.
Then things started falling apart for Cincinnati (1-1), which was bidding for its first win against a top five opponent.
First, Bearcats coach Brian Kelly 's bag of tricks backfired and then he lost his quarterback.
Kelly had already run a botched wide receiver pass and a failed Statue of Liberty play - reminiscent of Boise State's Fiesta Bowl win in 2007 against Oklahoma - near the goal line and when J.R. Bryant jumped to bat down punter Kevin Huber 's pass on a fake.
Bradford hit Gresham across the middle on the next play, and the 6-foot-6 tight end bullied through a defender on his way in for a 23-yard score and a 42-20 Oklahoma lead.
Two drives later, quarterback Dustin Grutza had to be wheeled off the field on a cart after his right leg was broken at the bottom of a pile of Oklahoma players following a sack.
Cincinnati receiver Mardy Gilyard said officials apparently didn't see Oklahoma players twisting and rolling on Grutza's ankle after linebacker Travis Lewis and defensive linemen Cory Bennett and Jeremy Beal .
''I watched it all happen. It was really hard to watch our quarterback go down and get hurt,'' Gilyard said.
Grutza went 19-for-29 for 218 yards, throwing for one touchdown and running for another on a 1-yard sneak - both set up by interceptions. He also had one interception, ending a promising Bearcats drive on first-and-goal from the 6-yard line.
Grutza is expected to miss at least four weeks.
The highlight of the game for Cincinnati was Mardy Gilyard, who broke the school record with 365 all-purpose yards, including a 97-yard kickoff return for a touchdown that snapped one of the longest runback droughts in college football.
The last score by the Bearcats on a kickoff return came in 1995, and only two schools had gone longer than Cincinnati's 145 games without one. Gilyard also had 119 yards receiving on seven first-half catches.
He still got overshadowed by Broyles, who caught a 27-yard pass on his sixth collegiate play and a 31-yard TD pass on the next play.
The key now is to stay away from perils that will keep him from getting back on the field.
''It's just like a lot of young guys have to learn, and he is, and he's doing a lot of good things in a lot of areas,'' Sooners coach Bob Stoops said. ''It just needs to keep happening.''

Boomer Bytes | View Main
Updated each weekday morning and following games, Boomer Bytes is your quick guide to Sooners in the news:
• Gary Parrish of CBS: "...this Oklahoma offense is something serious -- a fast-paced, no-huddle attack that might go down as the best OU offense in history, which is saying something considering OU has a ton of history. The Sooners have won seven national titles, 41 league titles and 24 bowl games. They've had an NCAA-best 30 10-win seasons to go with 144 All-Americans and four Heisman Trophy winners."
• From ESPN: "It was over when... Sam Bradford hit Ryan Broyles for a 27-yard TD on the Sooners' seventh play from scrimmage and just 1:42 into the game. Gameball goes to... Sam Bradford: Put his name in the Heisman talk throwing for 395 yards and five touchdowns."
• Dave Sittler of the Tulsa World: "The most impressive aspect of Broyles' standout performance was that it demonstrated an already loaded OU offense has another weapon for its new, no-huddle spread offense that has now scored 57 and 52 points in its first two games."
• The Cincinnati Enquirer: "It was an jaw-dropping performance by an Oklahoma team that has designs on winning the national championship and left its head coach Bob Stoops beaming with possibility. "I am really pleased," Stoops said. "I meant what I said all week."
• From the New York Times: "During each of its last three seasons, Oklahoma has suffered stunning September losses. But with a 52-26 victory against Cincinnati here Saturday, the No. 4 Sooners conquered what could be their toughest September challenge."
• From Brian Bennett of ESPN: "Of course, Oklahoma always dominates at home, where it's now 56-2 under Stoops. And it's too early to get overly excited about anybody. Stoops cautioned a reporter who asked if this year's bunch resembled the 2003 team, which scored the most points in Oklahoma history and went 12-2, losing in the BCS title game."
• Olin Buchanon of Rivals: "...what underscored the impact of OU's offense is that it dictated what Cincinnati's offense would do. That's right, Cincinnati's offense. Keep in mind, the Bearcats are not chopped liver. Cincinnati finished 10-3 last season with victories over teams like Rutgers, Connecticut and South Florida."
• Berry Tramel of the Oklahoman: "All of which makes the Sooners' 52-26 rout at Owen Field even more impressive. The exhibition nature of last week was nowhere to be found. This was a legit foe. For a half, it was a legit game, 21-13. Then the Sooners kicked into high gear. A gear that looked an awfully lot like 2003."
• John Shinn of the Norman Transcript: "The Sooners moved the ball at will against what's expected to be one of the best defenses in the Big East. Sam Bradford threw for a career-high 395 yards with five touchdown passes going to four different receivers. Wide out Ryan Broyles made one of the most memorable debuts..."
• Chuck Carlton of the Dallas Morning News: "Oklahoma needed a full game to hang half a hundred this time. Don't be deceived by numbers. Saturday's 52-26 win over Cincinnati was even more impressive than the shellacking of overmatched Chattanooga in the opener."
• Guerin Emig of the Tulsa World: "Bradford had never thrown like he did against the Bearcats. He set career highs with 29 completions, 38 attempts and 395 yards. He tied another career mark with five touchdown passes. No Sooner has ever thrown more TD passes in a game..."
• From the Cincinnati Enquirer: "In the opening minutes, this game resembled one of those UC games from a bygone era when the Bearcats would travel to places like this to offer themselves up as sacrificial lambs in return for a big financial payoff. The Sooners scored on their first two possessions without much resistance from the UC defense, driving 88 yards in seven plays..."
• From the Tulsa World: "But Oklahoma's offense was relentless, and the defense clamped down. Cincinnati's only second-half points came on a kickoff return for a touchdown and a last-minute drive that ended with a TD on the game's final play. The Sooners scored on their first five second-half possessions."
• Bruce Campbell of the Enid News & Eagle: "Austin Box got to realize a lifetime dream just before 6 p.m. Saturday. That's when the Enid redshirt freshman got to see his first action at weakside linebacker for the Oklahoma Sooners in a 52-26 rout of Cincinnati. Box came in with 4:05 remaining in the game."
• Jake Trotter of the Oklahoman: "It didn't take long for Broyles to prove he's going to be an integral piece of what already was a multi-pronged attack. On OU's opening drive, Broyles caught a quick out pass out of an empty formation, then outran the nearest defender for a 31-yard play."
• John Shinn of the Norman Transcript: "The fake punt, according to the Cincinnati coach, was an act of desperation. OU had just gone up 35-20 a couple plays earlier and a three-and-out would have given the Sooners momentum he didn't believe his team could overcome."
• From the Dallas Morning News: "The turning point will likely be a fake punt attempt by Cincinnati at the Oklahoma 23. The pass was batted down and Bradford found tight end Jermaine Gresham on the next play for a touchdown and a 22-point lead."
• Brian Bennett of ESPN: "Kelly's defense, which is supposed to be one of the best in the Big East, gave up 592 yards. He credited Oklahoma's superior skill. "They resemble a championship football team," Kelly said. "They have that championship demeanor to them."
• Guerin Emig of the Tulsa World: "Oklahoma fought Cincinnati's no-huddle offense by keeping its defensive personnel on the field, regardless of the down and distance. That meant linebacker Keenan Clayton was really a receiver-covering safety, and defensive end Jeremy Beal was like a stand-up blitzing linebacker..."

President Barack Obama will nominate Mary Jo White to lead the Securities and Exchange Commission, tapping an attorney with broad experience in prosecuting white-collar crimes to lead an agency that has a central role in implementing Wall Street reform.
A White House official said the president would announce White's nomination during a ceremony in the State Dining Room Thursday afternoon.
At the same event, Obama will renominate Richard Cordray to serve as head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the official said. The president used a recess appointment last year to circumvent Congress and install Cordray as head of the bureau. That appointment expires at the end of this year.
The official spoke on the condition of anonymity in order to discuss the nominations ahead of the president.
White spent nearly a decade as the U.S. attorney in Manhattan, building a reputation as a tough prosecutor with an expertise in pursuing white collar crimes and complex securities and financial fraud cases. White House officials say that experience makes her well positioned to implement Obama's Wall Street reform legislation.
While serving as U.S. attorney, White also won convictions related to the 1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa and the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
More recently, White was retained by the National Football League to review its investigation of the New Orleans Saints bounty program where players were allegedly paid for hits against designated players.
If confirmed by the Senate, White would take over the helm at the SEC from Elisse Walter, who is serving out the rest of former SEC chair Mary Schapiro's term. Schapiro resigned in December.
Cordray has run the consumer bureau since last year, when Obama used a recess appointment to install him in the job. Senate Republicans had opposed Cordray, as well as the concept of the consumer bureau.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., first conceived of the idea of a consumer protection bureau. Obama considered naming her to lead the bureau, but her nomination would likely have run into deep opposition on Capitol Hill.

Jaylon Smith deserves all the prayers he can get.
Myles Jack has a congenital issue with his cartilage. How long he plays depends on luck. The cartilage issue, more than the meniscus tear, is going to affect his draft stock.

Configure USB Flash Drive To Work With Xbox 360
Instead of having a hard drive on your Microsoft Xbox 360 you can instead use any USB hard drive. The limitation is the fact that you can only format 16GB of any USB drive to work with the Xbox 360 so unless you want multiple partitions on the USB drive I would actually just purchase a USB flash drive with a maximum of 16GB of usable space. To use the USB flash drive with your Xbox 360 you have to first format the drive which is explained in detail below.

In its First Drive review of the 2012 Honda Civic, Car & Driver said,
The Civic lacks the passion, soul, and entertaining driving dynamics of its predecessor. Mainstream buyers may not care, but enthusiasts surely will.
That echoes the theme for the 2012 Civic from virtually all auto reviewers and even led to Consumer Reports revoking the car from its "Recommended" list. It's a stumble from Honda that used to be unthinkable but seems to be more common with today's models (specifically the Crosstour and Ridgeline).
To Honda's credit, it's been able to act fast and provide an "emergency refresh" for the 2013 Civic, pictures of which were released yesterday and posted on Facebook. Will the quick tweaks be enough to get that lost passion back?

La Salle Captures 2013 Atlantic 10 Championship on PKs
Related Links
RICHMOND, Va. - The La Salle Explorers captured their second straight A-10 Championship Sunday at Sports Backers Stadium, advancing on penalty kicks after 110 minutes of even play. The Explorers earn the A-10's automatic bid to the NCAA Championship, their third straight appearance, and will find out who they will face in the first round during the selection show aired on NCAA.com at 4:30 p.m. Monday.
Second-seeded La Salle (15-4-3) battled top-seed Dayton (15-4-2) to a 1-1 draw in the Championship finale, forcing the decision to penalty kicks. Both teams made four out of the original five shots in the first round of PK's, leading to a sixth shot that would end the game. Kerri Aiken sent a ball to the low right corner to score the fifth goal for the Explorers. Junior reserve goalkeeper, Katie Getzinger, who defended the goal for La Salle during penalty kicks, made the final save against Dayton junior Haley Keller's shot to end the game.
La Salle finished with five made penalty kicks from Maryam Huseini, Courtney Niemiec, Anna Dolhansky, Renee Washington, and Kerri Aiken, while the Flyers had successful attempts from Ashley Campbell, Meghan Scharer, Erin O'Malley, and Juliana Libertin.
Dayton struck first with a Juliana Libertin header in the first minute of play. The corner set piece, sent in from Nicole Waters, was the senior's eighth goal of the season. Water's assist marked her 17th of the season and fourth of the tournament, breaking the all-time A-10 Championship record for assists.
La Salle would retaliate with a Kelsey Haycook score in the 36th minute of play when the junior collected a rebound off of a Deja Davis shot. Haycook's 15th goal of the season puts her in a tie for all-time career goals (40) at La Salle with teammate Renee Washington and former Explorer, Amy Schneider (1999-2002).
Honored on the 2013 All-Championship team from La Salle were seniors Renee Washington and Courtney Niemiec, redshirt senior Jourdan McVicker and junior Kelsey Haycook. From the Flyers, seniors Juliana Libertin, and sophomores Nicole Waters and Ashley Campbell earned All-Championship accolades. Rounding out the 11 member team were VCU senior Courtney Conrad, St. Bonaventure senior Megan Junker, and Massachusetts redshirt-freshman goalkeeper Danielle Kriscenski and sophomore Rebekka Sverrisdottir.
Renee Washington was also honored as the Championship Most Outstanding Player.

"I Love Lucy" Voted the Best TV Show of All Time
(NEW YORK) -- More than 60 years after it premiered, the iconic television sitcom I Love Lucy nabbed top honors with TV fans in a survey conducted by ABC News and People magazine for Best in TV, a special edition of 20/20 that aired Tuesday night.
Lucy was voted the best show of all time, beating out finalists Seinfeld, M*A*S*H, All in the Family and Cheers. All five finalists were comedies.
"We were not surprised Americans chose comedies as their favorites of all time," said ABC News' Barbara Walters, who hosted the special. "We all like to laugh and these shows still make us laugh today."
During a rare interview in 1977, I Love Lucy star Lucille Ball told Barbara Walters that she didn't think she was funny.
In a recent interview with Barbara Walters, Ball's now-adult children, Lucie Arnaz and Desi Arnaz Jr., explained that their mother had a dry sense of humor.
She was witty, with "a Will Rogers kind of sense of humor ... great humor, but not like Lucy (on the show)," Desi Arnaz Jr. said.
"My mother was a clown, and she could turn funny, brilliantly funny written things into magic ... But she didn't think funny," Lucie Arnaz said.
Best in TV featured a countdown of winners in a number of other categories, from Favorite TV Reality Show to Favorite TV Drama to Favorite TV Mom. In addition to the categories featured on the TV Special, ABC News and People also polled Americans in several other categories like Favorite TV Soap Opera, Favorite TV Game Show, and Most Memorable TV Moment of All Time. See the finalists in these categories online at www.bestintelevision.com.
Nominees in all categories were determined by an all-star panel of television writers, producers, actors and directors. And from the list of nominees, Americans registered more than one million online votes earlier this summer at www.bestintelevision.com.

text: Last night while watching CNN, I saw one of those cheesy family vacation commercials — this one for Atlantis, the resort in the Bahamas — and a very familiar song was playing. And then I realized that it was "Anyone Else But You," the tune heard almost every five minutes in Juno. The lyrics have been reworked to be about swimming with dolphins and going "golfin'." It looks like the Moldy Peaches have cashed in! Clip above.

HRW renews calls for contact group on Tibet, Blames China for exacerbating situation

DHARAMSHALA, December 2: A global rights group has blamed the Chinese government for the alarming increase in self-immolation protests inside Tibet and renewed calls for the formation of a contact group on Tibet.
Human Rights Watch said the unprecedented increase in the number of self-immolation cases in Tibet (28 in November), highlights the "failure of Chinese authorities to address Tibetan grievances."
In a release last week, HRW blamed China's "increasingly pervasive and punitive security measures" in response to the protests for having "exacerbated the situation" in Tibet.
HRW's Asia Director Brad Adams called the self-immolations as acts of "complete desperation" to bring attention to the plight of Tibetans. "Instead of stepping up repression and driving people to believe there is no hope of change, Beijing needs to take steps to respond to Tibetans' grievances," Adams said.
The rights group noted that the Chinese government has authorised "increasingly aggressive moves" against both individual Tibetans and Tibetan communities where immolations have taken place.
"Since late October, officials have responded to immolations by punishing the families and communities of protestors, characterising immolations as criminal offenses, arresting those associated with immolators, and by deploying paramilitary forces and restricting communications and travel in areas where immolations have occurred," the group said.
HRW pointed out that the use of "collective punishment" is contrary to international human rights law, and said such instances infringe on the rights to freedom of religion and belief.
"The central government should devote as much energy to addressing the deep-rooted problems facing Tibetans as it is on punishing the families of those who have taken the drastic step of protesting by self-immolating," Adams said.
HRW renewed its calls for the formation of a contact group on Tibet and asked governments committed to promoting human rights to jointly urge China to address Tibetan grievances by issuing a "joint statement on longstanding human rights problems in Tibet."
"Coordinated, international expressions of concern are essential to get Beijing to substantively address the issues being raised by Tibetans," Adams stated.
In November, the Human Rights Commissioner of the Federal German Government Markus Löning urged China to reform its policies in Tibet and allow international observers to visit the region.
In a statement on November 21, the German rights commissioner noted that China's new leadership will be "judged by its respect for human rights."
"This includes progress in dealing with dissidents and human rights defenders as well as in dealing with minorities," Löning said. "I support the call of UN-High Commissioner for Human Rights, Navi Pillay, who also has pointed to the situation in Tibet in face of the ongoing self-immolations. With allowing international observers and a policy that reduces tensions and acknowledges the deep dissatisfaction in Tibet, China would leave a mark for more humanity."
