Tipping the scales: Weighing in on the Film Fest
Wrongful convictions, executions, rape, sexual abuse– In/Justice, the meaty theme of this year's Virginia Film Festival, could be enough to send some filmgoers scurrying for the nearest romantic comedy. Fortunately, the 18th film fest offered something for everyone, even the least socially conscious. There were stars for the stargazers, classics on the big screen, experimental films, premieres, and important documentaries.
It's no surprise The Fever with Vanessa Redgrave, Nine Lives with Sissy Spacek and Kathy Baker, An Evening with John Grisham and Groundhog Day with Harold Ramis sold out. But The Untold Story of Emmett Till, Bee Season, Amandala, Swimmers, Deepwater, and Green Street Hooligans also joined the sell-out list.
There were cinematic efforts that worked– and those that didn't. And sometimes you can't tell which will be which, no matter how carefully you vet your choices.
Life, indeed, is not fair.
Why activist/actress Vanessa Redgrave likes the United States so much: Because of its revolutionary history. Redgrave kicks off the festival October 27 at a sold-out Culbreth Theater with the U.S. premiere of son Carlo Nero's The Fever, in which she stars.
How a movie like The Fever gets made: "HBO was a little confused about it, but there are a lot of important people in it, and it's not going to cost very much," explains Fever producer Jason Blum. The movie stars Redgrave, Angelina Jolie, Joely Richardson, and Michael Moore in his acting debut.
"It's not a polemic": Redgrave denies the thought that occurred to many in the Fever audience. It's just a film about an affluent woman living a life that's "irredeemably corrupt."
"Have any of you read a book about economics since 1945?" Local Richard Sincere, an alum of the London School of Economics, causes a stir after the screening when he poses that question to Redgrave and Nero. To which Redgrave responds, "I don't think it's old-fashioned to care as much as ever." Insert audience applause here.
What becomes a legend most: The elegant Redgrave avoids cold feet at the festival opening and at the University Art Museum gala by wearing Uggs, the Australian sheepskin boots.
Where writers rule: In TV series, says Rodrigo Garcia, who presents the shot-by-shot workshop October 28 using an episode he directed for HBO's Six Feet Under. Garcia has also directed critically acclaimed films like Things You Can Tell Just by Looking at Her and Nine Lives, where the director is "king of the hill."
The son of Gabriel Garcia Marquez never considered using the supernatural in his own films: Rodrigo Garcia says, though, that he became more comfortable with black humor and the supernatural after directing Six Feet Under, in which dead characters occasionally pop up. The episode he screens features a sex scene between the Grim Reaper and Life.
But he always seems so urbane on the radio: WINA reporter Bruce Sanborn serves up a convincing portrayal of a slack-jawed yokel in his hilarious 10-minute film, Uriah Justice.
How Vanessa Redgrave sent us to Dirty Harry: After the monologue-driven The Fever, we just needed to see Clint Eastwood blow a few bad guys away.
Things you've forgotten about Dirty Harry after watching it umpteen times on TV: The two different full-frontal nudity shots in this 1971 classic– plus, how campy it is.
Deconstruction of "Are you feeling lucky, punk?" Vigilante justice no longer means "fascist medievalism," as one early review described Harry. And, in fact, its director Don Siegel was a liberal.
Somebody's gotta take the slot opposite John Grisham: "I know your choices were one of the biggest authors ever– or coming to see an indie film no one's ever heard of," says David Marfield, director of the looking-for-distribution Deepwater, based on the novel of another Charlottesville writer, Matthew Jones, at its October 28 screening as one of the Virginia Film Festival Jury and Audience Award entries.
He seemed like a normal guy to me: Jones admits he didn't realize one of his characters would turn into a paranoid schizophrenic in the extremely well-done film-noirish, psychological thriller, Deepwater, which stars Lucas Black, the kid from Sling Blade now grown up, as well as Peter Coyote and Leslie Ann Warren.
The difference between prostitutes and artists: "Prostitutes give people pleasure; artists just make everyone miserable," says the wife in The Definition of Insanity, about actor Robert Margolis' struggles and humiliations in pursuit of his acting dream. Insanity wins the Jury and Audience awards, setting it up for $5,000 and a screening at the Regal Battery Park in New York.
Genre-bender: Is it a documentary? Is it fiction? Documentary elements crop up in both Definition of Insanity and Charlottesville filmmaker Kevin Everson's Cinnamon, both of which cast real people to blur the lines between fact and fiction.
Who knew drag racing could be so... tedious? Everson focuses on the "relentlessness of labor" to demonstrate the craft of local ace mechanic John Bowles in maintaining a performance machine, rather than going for the cheap thrills of driving 130 mph.
Oops– the perils of low-budget filmmaking: There's only one shot from the camera inside the hurtling race car because Everson forgot to switch the camera on or put a tape in at three of the four drag races he filmed.
"Drag racing is the safest thing for kids to do": Avowal of Bowles, whose 12-year-old daughter Ashley has been racing since she was 7-1/2.
Counselors will be standing by in the lobby: Angela Shelton, director of the documentary Searching for Angela Shelton, in which she discovers that 60 percent of the Angela Sheltons across America she spoke to were survivors of rape, incest, or domestic violence, tells a nearly full audience at Culbreth October 29 that the film often triggers reactions in survivors in attendance.
The new George Cukor: Rodrigo Garcia assembles a stellar cast of actresses– Sissy Spacek, Kathy Baker (both at the film fest), Robin Wright Penn, and Glenn Close– in his low-budget Nine Lives that sells out the Paramount for its October 29 screening. "Anyone who works with Rodrigo wants to do it again," says producer and UVA alum Julie Lynn.
"What money?" Baker answers the question of whether financing followed once Nine Lives was cast.
The pitfalls of one continuous real-time shot: Garcia uses that technique to capture pivotal moments in the lives of nine women, and if it gets screwed up, he has to start the whole 12-minute scene over again.
"I did some of my best work in the takes you didn't see": Spacek admits she messed up towards the end of her scene, resulting in eight takes.
Spacek's biggest challenge in Nine Lives: "I ironed the whole time– that was the hardest part for me," says the Academy Award-winning actress.
Man, do we love the Paramount: Roomy, deluxe, the restored theater debuts as a festival venue with Nine Lives.
Get us out of here: The crowd of 1,000 at the Paramount is not allowed to use fire exits, but instead has to funnel out through the main doors, creating claustrophobia and high anxiety in filmgoers rushing to their next movie.
"It's important for me to come here and promote myself": Groundhog Day director Harold Ramis buzzes by– once the Paramount is finally cleared– for the late-starting 10pm October 29 screening of his new movie, The Ice Harvest, starring John Cusack and Billy Bob Thornton.
We hated ourselves for laughing: A Christmas Eve story of "men who are spiritually adrift looking for meaning in strip joints and bars" is how producer Ron Yerxa describes The Ice Harvest, a film noir comedy so noir that its characters are, as Vanessa Redgrave would say, "irredeemably corrupt."
Final In/Justice: Our batteries are too dead– literally and figuratively– to catch any screenings October 30, the final day of the fest.
This year's film fest theme– In/Justice– proved a perfect fit for Ugg-wearing Vanessa Redgrave.
Sissy Spacek and Kathy Baker yukked it up after a screening of Nine Lives at the Paramount.
Harold Ramis thinks Jefferson might have blessed his strip club black comedy, The Ice Harvest.

Under the deal, Vestas will supply 25 V90 2MW turbines for the Yauchi wind farm. The deal includes a two-year service agreement with delivery set for Q3 2013.
Vestas president for China, Jens Tommerup, said: "The relationship with Hanas New Energy so far has been a very exciting and fruitful journey. Vestas was chosen as their partner three years back because we possessed some unique capabilities that could help maximise the value of their first venture into the wind business. We are proud to have been chosen again."
Since 2010, Hanas has ordered 250MW of V90 2MW turbines from Vestas.
In April, Gamesa secured a 100MW deal by Ningxia Hanas New Energy Group as part of Hanas' 300MW second stage project to construct a 1GW wind power base in Yanchi county, Ningxia, scheduled to be completed by the end of 2014.
On 26 March, José Antonio Miranda, chairman and CEO of Gamesa China, signed a letter of intent with Ma Fuqiang, president of Hanas New Energy Group. They did not elaborate on the turbine model.
To date, Hanas has completed and connected to the grid the 200MW first stage project, using Vestas V90-2.0MW turbines.

Three common problems with CD-i players
>> Monday, May 4, 2009
CD-i member Bernard has some experience with CD-i players. There are 3 common problems with CD-i players:
1. The loading belt of the CD mechanism
-the loading belt of the CDI drive is made of rubber, and that decays overtime. This causes the loading tray to not close fully. You need to push the tray inside in order for the disc to be loaded. The solution is buying a new rubber belt. This costs someting like 1 euro at a shop that sells elektronic parts, or you pay $10,- on eBay with instructions (could be helpful, I don't know, I didn't buy it) . Also a very common "problem" is that the CD tray makes squeaking noises when opening or closing. This is mostly caused when the grease under the front wheels of the loading system is becoming old. Removing the wheel and adding some grease solves the problem. Here is a video of me fixing a CDI-210 player:
2. Timekeeper battery
-Timekeeper battery becomes depleted (this affects most CDI players except for the Sony player, the Philips CDI-370, portable Goldstar and LG GDI 700 players). You can check this if the Time setting is remembered after powering down the player. Also check if the save game files aren't corrupted (weird characters in the descriptions, etc.). When the battery isn't totally depleted, and save data becomes corrupted a lot of strange things can happen: crashing games, sound not working etc. etc. After a few weeks the battery is totally dead, and you can use the player "normally" again, but without any save game functionality. The only way to fix the problem is to hack a new battery to the chip: Click here for a guide.
Replacing the Timekeeper module is not a good option for most people, because it requires more technical skills and tools.
3. Laser reading mechanism
-defective laser reading mechanism. this MOSTLY occurs on the CDI-220/60 , cdi-210/40 and FW380i players. These have a CDM 12.4 laser mechanism and that is known to have problems (reading errors, that cause ticks during AudioCD playback and crashes with movies and games) . The CDM 12.1 mechanism used in CDI-470, CDI-450 (and other models), also regularly have reading problems (but much, much less often than 12.4 mechanisms). The earliest CDI players with CDM-9 mechanisms appear to have the most reliable laser reading. (but because of their age, they have the timekeeper problem much more often). The easiest way to solve the problem is to replace the laser mechanism. A CDM9 replacement can be hard to find (hasn't been produced in some time). The replacement for the CDM 12.1 is the easiest to find. The later VAM1201 and VAM1202 drives should be backwards compatible, and should work just fine (Some of the last professional players by Philips also use these drives). Can be bought on eBay for something between 15 and 30 euro.

The face of Guatemalan hunger is young, female, indigenous and rural.
Guatemala has the highest chronic undernutrition rate in Latin America and the Caribbean, and fourth in the world. The situation worsens in rural areas where chronic undernutrition reaches 55 percent and 69 percent among indigenous populations. In the highlands of the country, seven out of ten children under 5 are chronically undernourished.
The country ranks 122 out of 182 countries in the 2009 Human Development Index (HDR, 2009). Inequity threatens development, and national health services cover approximately 60 percent of the country; most of the rural areas lack water and sanitation systems and have limited access to an adequate diet due to income restrictions. In rural areas, the minimum wage covers around 75 percent of the basic food basket. Poverty affects 51 percent of the population; extreme poverty affects 15 percent.
Guatemala is prone to natural disasters: droughts, floods, hurricanes, earthquakes and frosts are recurrent events which affect livelihoods of population living in vulnerable areas. In October 2008, Tropical Depression Nº 16 affected four departments of the country. In 2009, a severe drought in the so called "dry corridor" affected mainly nine departments and in 2010 two major events --Pacaya Volcano eruption and Tropical Storm Agatha-- evidenced the vulnerability of the country by affecting 21 of the country's 22 departments. Floods caused the loss of lives, housing, crops and communication infrastructures, and severely affected more than 150,000 people.
An Emergency Food Security Assessment (EFSA) conducted in August by WFP, the Government and other humanitarian partners revealed that some 330,000 people will need food assistance in the coming months in order to subsist.
WFP's presence in Guatemala responds to priorities identified in coordination with the government to benefit the most vulnerable populations. WFP's activities in Guatemala are geared towards reducing food insecurity, improving the nutritional status of mothers and children under 5 and living conditions of vulnerable groups by increasing agricultural productivity and farmer's marketing practices.

Midlife is sexy! Here's Part 2 of the seven tips to help boost your dating success as a 40+ single gay man to enhance your readiness for a relationship!
What we say to ourselves impacts our mood and behavior. The "monster in your head" is that little voice that whispers (and sometimes screams) negative statements about yourself and the world around you. Our internal dialogue impacts whether we look at life through a lens of optimism and hope versus pessimism and negativity.
Examine your self-talk as it pertains to being middle-aged and your views on dating and gay men. Create a list of all the thoughts that come to mind about these topics unedited. If you have such thoughts as "I'm too old to find love", "All the good ones are taken", "I'm going to be all alone", or "Nobody will find me attractive, I'm 50!" then your monster needs an ass-kicking.
Don't fall into the trap of creating a self-fulfilling prophecy. Begin creating a list of counter-statements or affirmations that will defeat this negative thinking. The more you believe these myths about midlife dating, the more you are setting yourself up for sabotage and it's important to begin challenging these beliefs by taking stock of true-life success stories or by taking risks and creating your own triumphant victory. Refuse to be held victim to such deprecating thoughts and start developing a mindset around midlife as a positive time in your life to enjoy the fruits of your labor.
There's no point becoming preoccupied with your youth "in the days gone by." You're as young as you feel and resisting the fact that life changes will only keep you arrested in your development and is a recipe for unhappiness and regret. Learn to accept all the physical and emotional changes that accompany midlife and be proud of who you are and your story.
Do your best to reduce ageism and ensure that you yourself are not behaving in ways that perpetuate this type of discrimination. For example, if you utilize personal ads as a venue for seeking dating partners, make sure you are honest about all aspects of yourself and don't fudge on your age. This will increase your odds of attracting more compatible people responding to your ad; remember, it's quality and not the quantity of your responses.
Where do you meet other quality guys?! No matter what your age, this is one of the most common questions surrounding dating and it all boils down to your vision and values. While picking up other men in bars could be a viable approach, it's a difficult setting to do so because there are so many guys to have to sift through and screen to determine their suitability with your vision for a life partner.
The key is to match your values, needs, preferences, and life purpose with a venue that has some of these qualities and characteristics. This way, you're surrounded by other men who share at least some semblance of your vision; that makes you one step closer to possibly finding someone who'd be a "good fit." Examples might be volunteering for a worthy cause or advocacy center, joining a support group, participating in a sporting club, becoming active in a gay-friendly church, signing on to a personal ads site that caters to the middle-aged crowd, etc. The possibilities are endless, but self-knowledge about your vision and passions is a critical key to its success.
Nothing helps you through the trials and tribulations of dating better than a solid support system of friends and people who care about you. Invest in current and new relationships with friends and family to give you that boost and sense of connection that we all need. Make sure to look for other midlife gay men who display positive dating lifestyles or older gay couples who can be looked upon as role models to keep them visible in your mind and to help motivate you to see the possibilities that abound. You could even become a mentor yourself to a younger gay man to "give back" in some way and form other positive alliances.
Dating is not a passive activity. You must be proactive and go after what you want or the likelihood of success is minimized. Develop a strong resource bank of dating skills and behaviors that will promote the chances of more positive outcomes. Strengthen your social skills, build more assertiveness and comfort with boundaries, enhance your self-esteem and body image, resolve unfinished business from the past, and get yourself into good physical and emotional shape. Get yourself armed and ready for love!
Conclusion - Gay dating success can be yours in midlife, and at any age! By incorporating these seven steps into your dating plan, you're well on your way to increasing the odds of success. Know yourself, develop a positive and optimistic mindset, build your repertoire of dating skills and behaviors, and live your life to the fullest! This can be the best time of your life; don't waste another minute!

Originally posted at Capital Gains and Games.
I promise you this is a true story even if it sounds way too convenient.
Last Wednesday I got an email challenging my comments about House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan's (R-WI) poor decision to move ahead with changes in the congressional budget process. For those who don't remember, I posted that there's no doubt that the current system isn't working and that changes are needed, but that the way Ryan was trying to do it wouldn't work because he was putting the federal budget cart before the fiscal policy horse. The person who emailed me thought that the Ryan changes were good, that I was wrong (He used a very different word), and that my heritage needed to be questioned.
As I've said many times before, including in testimony before the House Rules Committee a number of years ago, you shouldn't change the budget process until you know what you're trying to accomplish. Once you get an agreement on that — reduce spending, lower the deficit, lower the debt, set revenues-to-GDP at a certain level, etc.) — it's relatively easy to come up with a process that will get you there from here. Doing it the other way — process changes before there's an agreement on the goal — is a sure way to get the process ignored, waived, or simply defied.
First needing a consensus on the goal seems like a difficult concept for many people to accept, especially those who, like the person who emailed me, think the process is the problem. I've struggled for years to come up with an easy-to-relate-to analogy that works.
That's where the seemingly too convenient part comes in.
Last Wednesday, that is, on the same day I received the email challenging my budget process statements and family tree, I met Bob Harper, one of the trainers from the NBC show "The Biggest Loser," (picture below and no, I didn't see what he was eating) at a restaurant in Washington, D.C. It all came together when heard someone ask Bob for advice on which exercises he should do.
The answer is that your exercise program has to depend on what you're trying to accomplish. Losing weight, building your upper body, increasing overall flexibility, or getting in shape to run a marathon are all worthy goals, but each requires a different program. Running 50 miles a week will help you get ready to race and may help with weight loss, but it won't do as much for your upper body or core as a set of exercises specifically designed for those purposes.
The first thing you need to do o answer the question of which exercises you should do, therefore, is to determine what you want your fitness program to accomplish.
The same is true of the congressional budget process. There are literally hundreds of possible changes, but selecting a few without getting an agreement on what you're trying to accomplish almost certainly will lead to unhappiness with what's being done and get you to abandon the process.
That's the federal budget equivalent of doing bicep curls to get ready for a marathon. Your arms will look great but you likely won't be able to finish the race. At that point you more than likely will stop exercising.

, Novato – Two auto theft suspects were arrested Tuesday after the stolen car's license plate was detected in San Rafael by a scanning device on a deputy's car, a sheriff's investigator said.
Steven Anthony Fernando, 28, of Concord and Alexandra Yvette Allen, 23, of San Mateo were booked into Marin County Jail on suspicion of vehicle theft and possession of stolen property.
Fernando was also booked on suspicion of drug possession, possession of burglary tools and driving with a suspended license.
The car, a Ford Ranger, was reported stolen in San Bruno on Monday. Early Tuesday morning, Deputy Robert Heilman was on patrol in the Merrydale Road area when the license-plate scanner on his patrol car detected the stolen vehicle passing him, said sheriff's Lt. Jamie Scardina.
The deputy stopped the vehicle and arrested Fernando and Allen. Suspected stolen property was also confiscated from the car, Scardina said.
Fernando and Allen remained in custody Tuesday night in lieu of $25,000 bail.

What are the pros? they are dahlias
What are the cons? none
This is my first time planting dahlias, and to be honest, I have been in love with them for years. I was worried that they wouldn't like the heat here, but they have just started blooming and have really begun to shine. The foliage is a beautiful dark green with tinges of red. I completely expected the flowers to be all these warm, wonderful reds, oranges, and yellows. My first three blooms are lavender! A color not noted here, but I still thoroughly enjoy them! Think I might move them so that they can get bigger. It's a little tight where they are now.

Never mind that the biggest and most-anticipated game of the early part of the college football season is on tap for Saturday, one of the key figures involved in it won't be taking part in the buildup.
That's right. Reigning Heisman winner Johnny Manziel will not be available to media in the days leading up to the coming showdown this weekend between No. 1 Alabama and No. 6 Texas A&M in College Station.
According to George McMurphy of ESPN, Manziel was advised by his attorneys and his family not to do any talking this week. A&M officials have complied with that request and they informed the media on Tuesday that Manziel was not available. And just to show that it wasn't a case of selective enforcement, Manziel won't be talking to ESPN or CBS, which will televise the game (CBS will overload us with Johnny Football anyway — it has a 'Johnny Cam' set aside just for him).
At this point, we should be used to Manziel not talking. For the last week or so we've heard little from him or about him in the media, so maybe his strategy of trying to lay low is working. And it's not like there won't be plenty of other ways to hype up this game.
But for now, Manziel will let have to let his play do the talking.

The fixture is mounted on the floor and is plumbed for a wall waste outlet. Wash fountains with this option include a grid strainer and tail piece.
This option includes and individual pushbutton control for the Air-Control™ Metering valve and is provided standard with a hot and cold pressure balancing mixing valve. Water flow metering can be field set for range from 5 to 60 seconds. Pushbutton requires less than 5 pounds of pressure to activate the valve. See individual model specification sheets for pushbutton location.
9VDC Programmable Piezo button(s) with 10' foot connection leads are operated by touching piezo cap to activate solenoid valve. Button(s) have a default 8 second metered flow, but can be programed for additional time on site. Flow cycle can be stopped by touching the Piezo cap before the flow cycle ends. Button(s) are powered by 9VDC transformer or optional 6 AA battery pack (Batteries Not Included).
Use of this option provides "Hands-Free" washing. It includes an infra-red sensor operated, solenoid water valve, mixing valve and a transformer. A 24VAC sensor is used on our Wash-Ware product lines whenever the -SO option is selected. This sensor operates with a 30 second metered flow or cycle once an object is detected before turning off the solenoid valve.
In addition to saving installation costs, this option is ideal for renovation projects where hands-free control is desired. Use of this option eliminates the requirement to provide electrical power and wiring for units with -SO Sensor Operated Control. Each sensor and solenoid valve is powered by a concealed battery pack with 6 AA batteries (batteries provided by the installer and not included).

NAIROBI, Kenya — The use of child soldiers — teenage boys dressed in military uniforms and carrying assault rifles — is commonplace in South Sudan and will be the subject of U.N. Security Council discussions next month, the top U.N. official for children and armed conflict said Thursday.
South Sudan has suffered from decades of conflict, and the U.N. official, Leila Zerrougui, said the country had cut down on the use of children in combat until massive violence broke out in December.
Zerrougui said that when she visited the rebel commander David Yau Yau in June, there were child soldiers alongside him when he greeted her.
"We are seeing that the ongoing violation against children is a trend and is committed by both sides," she said.
She also said that the use of child soldiers in Somalia — especially by opposition militias like al-Shabab — is high. She called the practice unacceptable and underscored the need to advocate an end to children in combat.
Human Rights Watch this week said South Sudan's government used children in fighting this month in Bentiu and Rubkona. Witnesses told the group that they saw dozens of armed children in military uniform.
Human Rights Watch said members of the military and government in Bentiu acknowledged that their forces include children but those officials said the children have been seeking work.
"South Sudan's army has returned to a terrible practice, once again throwing children into the battlefields," said Daniel Bekele, Africa director at Human Rights Watch. "Civilian and military leaders should immediately remove all children from their ranks and return them to their families."
The group said that it spoke to a 12-year-old boy who said that a government soldier ordered him and other children in Rubkona to shoot at opposition forces. A 14-year-old said he was in battle and lay on the ground "whenever I heard shelling."

How we learned to stop worrying and love the fireworks[edit]
The world has been celebrating the new year like never before, with unprecedented fireworks displays over capital cities all across the globe.
It all began with a good will gesture from the government of Iran to Israel. In a surprise move designed to break through the political logjam in the region surrounding Tehran's controversial nuclear program, the Iranian government today extended an olive branch to Israel by donating its entire arsenal of fireworks to the Israeli capital, set to go off at midnight.
Caught off guard by the friendly gesture, a tearful Benjamin Netanyaju, the Israeli prime minister, assured the world that his nation was already preparing its response, and that several megatons of Israeli fireworks were already on their way to Iran traveling at the speed of sound. True to his word, within minutes of his announcement, Israeli fireworks were lighting up the skies of Iran with gorgeous mushroom clouds, in a display that some are saying will not be forgotten in a thousand years.
Ever since, governments all over the world have been scrambling to participate in these feel good gestures. Not wanting to be left out, Russia immediately sent a small portion of its fireworks stockpile to Israel. Iran, too overcome with emotion to send any more fireworks to Israel, released a statement thanking the Russian government for its assistance. In a preemptive move, Russia simultaneously donated the vast bulk of its fireworks arsenal to the United States, knowing that the U.S. government would feel obligated to immediately thank Russia in kind on behalf of its close ally, Israel.
Sure enough, from St. Petersburg to Siberia, Russia has been set aglow by the United States with a festive holiday display that has truly warmed the hearts of the Russian people. Homeless Russians are celebrating in icy Moscow by the warm fall-out slowly raining over the city melting their freezing hands.
For the last several hours, China, India and Pakistan have been exchanging cordial fireworks displays. India set off a green tinged light show over Beijing while China set off all their fireworks at once, carpeting Pakistan in a coreographed atomic ballet which was watched and enjoyed world wide via Google Earth live.
Moments before the transmission was cut off due to a particularly exhuberant fireworks display over New York City, UN Secretary General Bang Ki Moon, in a global televised address, began to say that with todays celebratory fireworks exchanges, the world has entered a new age. What else he was going to say is unknown at this time.
Around the world, radio and television frequencies are growing silent, in what UnNews believes is a prolonged moment of silence to honor this new era of good feeling between nations. The UnNews studios have for several hours been relying on back up power generators, but we are informed by our technicians that we will now be joining the rest of the global media in this planet wide moment of silence.
Happy New Years, Earth. We'll be seeing you...

I treated myself to a really awesome lipstick this week. I can't wait to show this baby off on our honeymoon! Shall I wear it to a Parisian café or dinner in Venice? Oh getting so excited! Don't red lips make you feel sexy?
– Get a great lip liner similar in color. This will prevent your lipstick from spreading (aka bleeding).
-Use a lip brush to apply color
-Apply extra color to the center of your lips, it will make your lips appear fuller. This is the first place where lipstick tends to fade, so lay it on thick!
-To avoid the dreaded lipstick teeth…put your index finger in your mouth and gently close your lips around it, then pull your finger out. Any extra lipstick will come off on your finger. Keep those pearly whites bright!
-POWDER! Carefully apply facial powder just beyond your lip liner. This will help keep everything in place and give you lips that extra pop.
I really love it. It glides on smooth and lasts for hours. Burberry lipstick is on the pricier side but I think it's well worth the money. They have several rich colors to choose from and each lipstick is blended with rose extract, which smells amazing!

Rumsfeld Memoir to Tackle "Known and Unknown"
The book is called "Known and Unknown," and it's coming in January.
Rumsfeld, 78, will write about his childhood and long political career, starting as a Republican congressman from Illinois in the 1960s and then as secretary of defense under President Gerald Ford and President George W. Bush, the publisher, Sentinel, said in a statement Monday.
Rumsfeld's book was first announced in 2008. Rumsfeld received no advance and will donate all proceeds to veterans charities.
The statement from Sentinel, an imprint of Penguin Group (USA), said Rumsfeld would include anecdotes about everyone from Elvis Presley to his close friend and ally Dick Cheney, the former vice president whose own memoir is scheduled for the spring.
Rumsfeld, a leading advocate of the war in Iraq, became increasingly controversial during his years in the Bush administration and resigned soon after the 2006 midterm elections, when Republicans lost control of Congress.
Sentinel president and publisher Adrian Zackheim called Rumsfeld's memoir "a fascinating narrative for today's readers and an unprecedented resource for tomorrow's historians."
"Like Donald Rumsfeld himself, this memoir pulls no punches," Zackheim said in a statement.
The title of Rumsfeld's book is as notable as the name of former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin's book, "Going Rogue," which stemmed from how pundits questioned whether she hurt Sen. John McCain's presidential bid as his running mate by "going rogue," or defying his campaign's control.
"Known and Unknown" refers to a widely quoted explanation - praised by some as philosophy, criticized by others as double-talk - Rumsfeld offered in 2002 about the lack of evidence that Iraq was supplying terrorists with weapons of mass destruction.
"Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because, as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know that we know," he said. "There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we now know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we do not know we don't know."
Rumsfeld will draw upon previously unreleased and recently declassified documents, Sentinel said. Thousands of pages of documents unseen by the public will be made available on an accompanying website, it said.

I've got good news and bad news. The good news is that the Earth won't be destroyed by the inevitable heat death of the universe. The bad news is that the planet will be wiped out long before that, between 1.5 billion and 2.25 billion years from now, according to a new study by Andrew Rushby was recently published in Astrobiology.
You see, when our Sun starts running out of hydrogen fuel, it will expand until it swallows Mercury and Venus, and potentially even expands into our orbit. Obviously, this means bad things for anything left on Earth. Even if the Sun doesn't grow large enough to reach Earth's orbit, you don't want to hang around waiting for the oceans to boil away and the atmosphere to burst into flame. Trust me, you'll have a bad time.
So why study an event so unimaginably far in the future? Because it can give us a better idea of where to look for intelligent life outside our solar system. We've detected almost a thousand planets using a variety of methods around a few hundred stars in our galactic neighborhood. That's all well and good, but if the goal is to find life on other solar systems, finding planets is just the first step.
Given what we know about life on Earth, we assume that liquid water is required. That narrows down the potential billions of planets in the galaxy to only the ones that are the right size to hold an atmosphere at the right temperature and pressure for liquid water to exist. Planets that meet these conditions are said to be in the habitable zone.
At this point, it's important to note that it took a long time for life to evolve on Earth. The planet was formed about five billion years ago, it took between one and two billion years for basic microscopic life to evolve. Add another three billion years, give or take, between the rise of single-cellular life and the evolution of man, the taming of the atom and the invention of the digital watch. For simplicity sake, lets say it took 4 billion years for complex life to evolve on Earth. So, if astrobiologists want to avoid looking for life in all the wrong places, they need to consider the time that a planet will be habitable as well.
So that's why Rushby and his cohorts are studying the Sun's endgame. They're adding to the model that astrobiologists use to predicts the likelihood of the evolution of life into intelligent life, based on the long-term habitability of an exoplanet's star.
Now, with only a billion years and change left here on earth, I hope George R.R. Martin finally buckles down and finishes his Game of Thrones books.

Brecht effect: bourgeois bashing with catchy tunes
'The Threepenny Opera' began in disaster and grew into a triumph – a new Irish production hopes to burnish its agitprop credentials
David Ganly (Mack The knife) and whores in 'The Threepenny Opera' at the Gate Theatre. Photograph: Matthew Thompson
In 1928 the world was on the brink of disaster, and so, it seemed, was Bertolt Brecht. For its part, the world seemed oblivious to any approaching crisis but Brecht must have known what was in store.
His troubled adaptation of John Gay's The Beggar's Opera, a relatively genteel satire on 18th-century politics, poverty and corruption, was intended to be a radical attack on the capitalist excesses of the Weimar Republic. But, however shaky the German economy seemed under soaring wages, prices and debts, it was propped up by foreign capital, particularly from a booming Wall Street.
Brecht, then a 30-year-old dramatist and poet who believed the theatre could be a trenchant forum for political ideas, was seeking an ideology (he was not quite a Marxist, but getting there), a method (he had been experimenting with the distancing devices of his verfremdungseffekt, or "alienation effect") and a voice (for The Threepenny Opera it would be an idiom both vulgar and hip, full of jazz-age subversion and underworld slang).
But it also required the right music and, over the objections of his theatre manager, Brecht turned to the strikingly contrapuntal composer Kurt Weill to create the score. Brecht's new production, it was rumoured, would close in a matter of days. The Weimar Republic was generally expected to last.
Instead, the stock market crashed, the Great Depression took hold and Hitler began his rise to power. During this time, after an initially lukewarm response, the show became a huge hit – until it was banned by the Nazis. By that time, though, Brecht had fled to Denmark and Weill to the US.
Extreme responses
As he considers the shock waves of the original production, Cathal Synnott, the musical director of the Gate Theatre's new production of the classic, recalls two very different contemporary responses to the music.
"Schoenberg said of him – and we're talking about the serious high end of German music at this particular period – 'Kurt Weill is the only man alive of whose music I can find no value'."
On the subversive end of the spectrum, there is Stravinsky, who wrote Weill a letter, saying: "This is one of the most important pieces of the 20th century. Could you please furnish me with a score?"
The lesson of The Threepenny Opera, an anti-capitalist satire that proved a huge commercial hit, with an iconoclastic score that delivered enduring crooner standards, is that disaster and success can be hard to distinguish at first.
When we meet, on the last day of technical rehearsals for director Wayne Jordan's production, Synnott is nearing the end of his own problem-solving. On his lunch break, Synnott enters the theatre's hospitality room wearing black coat-tails and crisp whites, clutching a copy of the score.
It's a conservative vision of the opera musician but also a clue to the production's aesthetic. "Conceived with an opulence only beggars could dream of and an economy only beggars could afford," is how Brecht put it, with a designation somewhere between luxury and junk.
That contradiction is there in the music too, where a banjo – that twanging instrument of the folk – might assert itself among the decorum of piano, saxophones and harmoniums. Brecht had his verfremdungseffekt, Synnott knows, but Weill had his klangbild, or "sound structure", and everything within it knew its place.
It's worth remembering that in 1928 jazz was still a distrusted form, as insurgent a departure from the mainstream as punk was in the 1970s. It begs the question whether the best way to honour The Threepenny Opera now might not be adherence to the letter of its text, but to its radical spirit.
A mooted new adaptation of the play by Mark O'Rowe did not go ahead in the end (it fell through after the Dublin Theatre Festival programme went to print) but the plan suggested a desire at least to render Brecht in a contemporary and local voice. (This production reverts to the Ralph Manheim and John Willett translation of 1976 but, Synnott says, there have been tweaks).
"Unless we can start from a point where we actually know what the score is, it's very hard to know how to twist it," says Synnott. "Kurt Weill twists the harmonic language – he twists everything – to make it subversive. I can't make a judgment call on making it more subversive. I can't twist that any further. I suppose I'm taking it from a very traditionalist standpoint in the sense of trying to find all the right instruments to rebuild what Kurt Weill created. This little blue book is like a minefield of information and misinformation. It's a heuristic process. I'm searching it for clues."
That's not an easy task. Although Weill became zealously protective of his score ("In no case would I allow my music to be changed arbitrarily," he wrote in a letter to a Swiss theatre in 1949), his composition may have been influenced by plenty of arbitrary changes. His original musicians, the Lewis Ruth Band, comprised seven members who played 23 instruments and much of the score is based on that band's idiosyncrasies. Even Weill's score is permissively notated: "piano, if possible", or "soprano saxophone, but clarinet will suffice". At a certain point, though, it froze into an authoritative form.
You could say the same thing about The Threepenny Opera itself which, for all Brecht's theorising about "alienation effect" has always been a much more approachable play in practice.
Bourgeois baiting
The obvious irony was that, while it attempted to skewer bourgeois values, presenting them in the mouths of murderers, hoodlums and pimps, it was enthusiastically embraced by the establishment. It might have been Brecht's clearest articulation of an "epic theatre", where a visible orchestra, unnatural lighting shifts and projected song titles never allowed the audience to swoon into a fiction, but it also gave them enjoyably roguish characters such as Mack The Knife and Mr Peachum.
And when Lotte Lenya (Weill's wife) or Louis Armstrong, or Frank Sinatra, or any given karaoke bawler at a certain stage of the evening launches into its most famous ballad, ("Oh, the shark has teeth like razors . . ."), they rarely treat it like a theme tune for a psychopath.
"I think there's a subtle form of verfremdungseffekt," says designer Ciarán O'Melia, reconciling the show's entertainment with its power of subversion. "Even in the text there are those little cues that you may not pick up on until afterwards: did I just hear that?"
O'Melia, whose work was this year exhibited at the World Stage Design Exhibition, has emerged in recent years as a designer capable of constructing startling beauty with very modest means. Here, creating a stage that accommodates a 19-strong cast, including eight musicians, he sees the aesthetic as "more about opulence". Using a scheme of overlapping black materials – black frames and black velvet under bare lighting, for instance – his design plumps for "a dark glamour. It has that sort of rough and raw cabaret feel, but it still has a richness to it and the bourgeois element of dressing it up."
That pivot point between luxury and poverty may be the necessary position for a production of Brecht's classic. But while Synnott knows that audiences tend to come out humming the soundtrack more than the polemic, he says "I guarantee you a lot of people will be coming out singing, What Keeps Mankind Alive" – the agitprop ballad that denounces wealthy lifestyles as an exploitation of the poor.
That may not be a difficult message to sell these days, together with Macheath's snarling words about banks, but that doesn't make it any less resonant. "When we get to What Keeps Mankind Alive and those big epic choruses enunciate that question, I don't think anybody will be in any doubt that Brecht is involved in the show."
The Threepenny Opera runs until November 2 at the Gate as part of the Dublin Theatre Festival

Cardiovascular interventional technologists assist physicians in performing diagnostic and therapeutic procedures of the cardiovascular system. These procedures involve the injection of iodinated contrast media to demonstrate diseases of the heart and blood vessels. Computed tomography (CT) technologists image selected planes of the body by combining the use of an X-ray beam and a computer. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technologists utilize a magnetic field along with radio waves to create images of patients' anatomy for interpretation by a physician.
The Bachelor of Science Program in Radiologic Sciences is designed to prepare qualified radiographers with the skills to provide patient services in cardiovascular interventional technology, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. Students receive a theoretical foundation in all these specialties and select a clinical/health management concentration.
Graduates of the Program
Graduates receive a Bachelor of Science degree and are eligible to take specialty examinations depending on their clinical concentration.
Credentials Required to Practice
R.T.(R) (ARRT) Registered Radiographer.
Indiana Certification Requirements
State certification is required to operate an X-ray machine. The state accepts the ARRT Registry for certification.
Length of the Program
A new class begins the professional course work in the fall semester and completes the professional year at the end of the following spring semester.
Structure of the Professional Program
Classes are held during the day. Clinical experience is scheduled in cooperation with the clinical site with most experience during normal daytime hours.
Design of the Professional Curriculum
Lectures and clinical experiences are integrated throughout the two semesters.
Opportunity for Students to Work
Students may be employed as radiographers at local area hospitals. Students may find full-time employment during the professional year difficult.
Description of Facilities
The radiologic sciences classroom and offices are located in the Dunes Medical/ Professional Building at IU Northwest. Clinical experience is provided at local area hospitals.

Eight different schools
Locations: Various across the United States
No. of Students in Schools: Between 125 and almost
Teachers: Various
Grades: 6th to 8th
Subject: Language Arts
No. of Students in Classrooms: Between 15 and 32
The schools in this video library are in geographically diverse
locations across the United States. Some, like Joe Bernhart's
Houston classroom or Dorothy Franklin's Chicago school, are
in urban settings. Some are rural, such as Tanya Schnabl's
school in upstate New York and Barry Hoonan's school on Bainbridge
Island in Washington state. Others are in suburban locations.
A wide variety of classrooms and teachers were chosen to help
teachers everywhere see how envisionment-building might apply
in their own locations.
of Students in Schools: The schools featured in the video
library run from the small and intimate (125 students at the
Odyssey School on Bainbridge Island) to schools accommodating
more than 1,500 students (DeWitt Clinton Elementary School
in Chicago with 1,600 and Howard A. Doolin Middle School with
The teachers reflect the diversity of their profession. Both
male and female, they come from a range of racial and cultural
backgrounds. Some are just beginning their careers. Others
have 15 to 20 years experience (one has nearly 30) with students.
All of them believe that every student is capable of learning
and that it is their job to help learning happen.
and Subject: All the teachers in this library teach language
arts in grades 6-8.
While some of the students portrayed in these classrooms come
from middle class economic backgrounds, a number qualify for
free or reduced-price lunch; some children of migrant families
at Picacho Middle School in Las Cruces, New Mexico live in
shelters or other temporary housing. Students in these classes
come with a wide range of reading levels (several teachers
have students who read between first grade and college levels
in the same classroom). As is perhaps typical of the nation
as a whole, most of the schools work with students from diverse
ethnic, cultural, and even language backgrounds. The K-6 population
of DeWitt Clinton Elementary School in Chicago is primarily
first-generation immigrants (Hispanic, Middle Eastern, Russian,
or Bosnian) who speak more than 17 different languages. Fifty
percent of the students test below grade level in their core
subjects. At Stephen Decatur Middle School in Maryland, 30%
of the students are minorities drawn from a nearby retirement
community, a tourist destination, and a rural town.

20. Racial profiling for terrorists is wrong -- a white American grandmother should as likely be searched as a Saudi young male.
No. Profiling, racial and otherwise, is a legitimate law enforcement technique.
Maybe he should read the story of Daniel Boyd.
Blonde with a Butt-Cut and the ringleader of a group plotting violent jihad.
I hadn't seen these comments from Krauthammer:
Assuaging feelings is a good thing, but hunting for terrorists this way is simply nuts. The fact is that jihadist terrorism has been carried out from Bali to Casablanca to Madrid to London to New York to Washington by young Muslim men of North African, Middle Eastern and South Asian origin. This is not a stereotype. It is a simple statistical fact. Yes, you have your shoe-bomber, a mixed-race Muslim convert, who would not fit the profile. But the overwhelming odds are that the guy bent on blowing up your train traces his origins to the Islamic belt stretching from Mauritania to Indonesia.
Yet we recoil from concentrating bag checks on men who might fit this description. Well, if that is impossible for us to do, then let's work backward. Eliminate classes of people who are obviously not suspects.
We could start with a little age pruning — no one under, say, 13, and no one over, say, 60. Then we could exempt whole ethnic populations, a list that could immediately start with Hispanics, Scandinavians and East Asians. Then we could have a huge saving, a 50 percent elimination of waste, by giving a pass to women, except perhaps the most fidgety, sweaty, suspicious-looking, overcoat-wearing, knapsack-bearing young woman, to be identified by the presiding officer.

Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet
Wednesday, February 13th, 2008
If it's good enough for the population of the so-called "free world" then it must be OK for the poor broken-backed bombed to smithereens peasants in Afghanistan – a big brother camera surveillance network to watch over them for their safety.
"The U.S. Government is contemplating a massive video surveillance project for the country of Afghanistan that would establish surveillance over all major thoroughfares in Kabul, the capital city, as well as all U.S. and multinational camps, traffic circles and Afghan ministry compounds," reports Government Security News.
"The surveillance apparatus would provide a 24/7 command and control system that would enable authorities to track personnel and identify vehicles with the use of license plate recognition systems."
Why license plate recognition systems are necessary for a country that still uses donkey carts as its main form of travel is on the face of it a little baffling, but if we consider the main purpose of why cameras proliferate in the developed world it begins to make sense.
The indentured Afghan people need to stop resisting and learn to accept the fact that the U.S. and NATO have carved their country up into a failed narco-state to reinvigorate the formerly lapsing opium trade and enable the survival of the Golden Triangle drug trade.
The cameras are a way of reminding them who their bosses are and that the controllers are always one step ahead because big brother sees all, just as they are a tool to shape the compliant behavior of the plebs in the west and make them wary of expressing basic freedoms like the right to peaceably assemble and protest.
The genesis of the system can be traced back to the "Combat Zones That See" program, which was announced a few months after the invasion Iraq and was dubbed an, "Urban surveillance system that would use computers and thousands of cameras to track, record and analyze the movement of every vehicle in a foreign city."
According to the report, it could also "easily be adapted to spy on Americans," which some would argue is already happening anyway via a myriad of different methods. This new program is seemingly just a way of centralizing and collating the spy network into one central hub.
The fact that the invaded and conquered Afghan people, who continue to live under a state of martial law nearly seven years later, should be treated the same as those here in "the land of the free," provides a clue as to how our "elected representatives" see us just as wardens of the state, to be surveilled, regulated and catalogued just as the Third Reich did to the Jews in pre-war 1930's Nazi Germany.

Lincoln2011 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 167 diseños de 46 diseñadores freelance.
NoteTender is a new, online loan management application that allows the user to keep track of loan balances and payments in an efficient and automated fashion.
A "Note" is another name for the document that allows the holder to receive payments from another person.
While many proprietary applications exist for very large loan servicing organizations, NoteTender intends to market an affordable solution to holders of 1-10 loans. Users will most likely be entrepreneurs lending as part of their overall business plans, who are eager about the success of their investments and learning new strategies.
While this is a professional application, it is intended for small users. We would therefore like to see a logo that portrays the powerful, yet simple nature of the application, and ideally a play on the word "tender," which has a double meaning as both "one who watches over," and "money as a medium of exchange," i.e. "legal tender."
Because the color scheme of the logo will be carried throughout the application, it is important that the palette is both functional for use in an application as well as attractive.
We are looking for clean, crisp, communicative, and unique. Well thought out designs that encapsulate our vision and follow our criteria will receive the highest consideration.
Some concepts or items related to "Notes"
Paper, Pen, Signatures, Debt, Money, Caclulations, Files, Business, Income, Wealth, Investment, Deal, etc.
Some concepts or items related to "Tender"
Watch, Manage, Exchange, Pay, Guard, Offer, Care For, etc.

FRITZ!Box 7369 Service - Knowledge Base
AVM Content
Humming noise when conducting calls on an analog telephone line
When conducting calls from the analog landline network, either the party using the FRITZ!Box to call or both parties hear a deep humming sound. The noise is clearly audible and not the same as the very quiet and barely perceptible noise that can be heard on all analog landlines. You do not hear the humming noise when conducting internet calls.
Simply proceed as described below. After each measure, check whether the problem persists.
1 Checking the landline
- Disconnect the FRITZ!Box from the landline.
- Connect a telephone to the same line.
- If the telephone also does not work when connected to your line, contact your telephony provider and have your line checked.
ATTENTION!You may be charged for checking. Ask your telephony provider about charges in advance!
2 Connecting all telephones and telephony devices to the FRITZ!Box
- Connect all telephony devices (for example a telephone, fax) to the FRITZ!Box.
Important:Connecting additional telephony devices or telephone sockets to the telephone jack can cause errors.
3 Turning off other base stations
- For testing purposes, turn off other base stations in the vicinity of the FRITZ!Box.
- If the problem no longer occurs, place the base station farther away from the FRITZ!Box.
Note:Alternatively, you can register your cordless telephones directly with the FRITZ!Box and therefore do without the additional base station.
4 Testing whether another device is interfering with the FRITZ!Box
Interference from a device connected to the FRITZ!Box or the power mains may be reaching the FRITZ!Box. Therefore, perform the following test:
- Remove all devices and cables from the LAN ports and the USB port on the FRITZ!Box. If no devices are connected, connect a computer to a LAN port on the FRITZ!Box.
- If the error no longer occurs, then a device connected to the FRITZ!Box was transmitting interference to the FRITZ!Box or the computer now channels it off. Usually, you can eliminate the cause of the interference through one of these measures:
- Use a power strip to connect the FRITZ!Box and all other connected devices to the same electric outlet.
- Test different electric outlets and power outlet strips.
- Use UTP network cables to connect devices to the LAN ports on the FRITZ!Box. In contrast to STP network cables, for example the one included with delivery, UTP network cables do not have a ground wire and do not transmit interference to the FRITZ!Box.
Important:If the problem occurs with a FRITZ!Powerline adapter, use the UTP network cable included with the FRITZ!Powerline adapter.
- If a device connected to the USB port is transmitting interference to the FRITZ!Box, do not connect the device to the FRITZ!Box. Instead, connect it to a USB port on your computer.
If the humming is still present, then the issue is not caused by the FRITZ!Box. Instead, it is caused by a different component (such as telephone, cable, power supply).

> A few days ago there was some discussion of the star of Bethlehem, and someone brought up the idea that Josephus did not actually imply that Herod died in 4 BC. I looked up the source for this information: David W. Beyer, "Josephus Reexamined: Unveiling the Twenty-second Year of Tiberius," in Chronos, Kairos, Christos II, ed. E. Jerry Vardaman (Mercer Univ Press, 1998), pp. 85-96.
> Beyer examined all of the editions of Josephus he could find in the British Library and the Library of Congress, including manuscript versions as early as the 12th century that predate Gutenberg. He found, interestingly, that the editions prior to 1544 all put the death of Philip (Herod's son) in the 22nd year of Tiberius' reign (i.e., 36 AD), and most of them also say that he reigned for 32 or 35 years. Later editions usually have both of these numbers wrong; they have 20 years and 37 years, respectively. Differences in the latter number (the length of Philip's reign) probably reflect different ways of calculating the length of his official reign, based on when he was proclaimed tetrarch (1 AD) vs when he effectively ruled in that capacity (4 AD). Coins offer evidence of a 37-year reign which, if reckoned from his father's death, would put that event in 1 BC. Beyer offers further evidence for that date, and concludes that Jesus was born in 2 BC--the date unanimously favored by patristic authors.
> Other essays in the same book, however, argue no less vigorously for alternatives: Jesus was born either in 6 BC or even as early as 12 BC (a suggestion I have never heard before that seems outrageous to me). In each case some of the evidence seems convincing, but they can't all be right. I remain agnostic about the year of the nativity, but the information about Josephus is very interesting and I tend to favor 2 BC as the best suggestion.
> Another essay defends the historicity of the slaughter of the innocents, which Josephus did not mention--though he did mention numerous other, much larger, massacres that Herod orchestrated. All of the evidence I am aware of suggests that the murder of children in Bethlehem was small potatoes, from Herod's point of view, and I have no reason to put modern scepticism over St Matthew on this one.
