Six members of First Lutheran Church made a trip to New Jersey on April 21-26 to help the victims of Hurricane Sandy. The first two days the group worked on a home in Union Beach, N.J.
Six members of First Lutheran Church made a trip to New Jersey on April 21-26 to help the victims of Hurricane Sandy. The first two days the group worked on a home in Union Beach, N.J.
Half of the team worked outside to replace a portion of the insulation, sheeting and siding damaged by the hurricane. The other half of the team worked inside to hang Sheetrock in four rooms. At this house the husband, wife and triplets, age 10, decided to ride out the storm. "Not a good idea," were the mother's words.
As the water rose in the downstairs, the family was forced to huddle in the upstairs bedrooms all night. There was no power in the home. In total darkness, they were terrified at the storm's tremendous power.
Hurricane Sandy had sustained winds of 100 mph for 12 hours. The worst possible scenario was the fact that it came ashore on a full moon and a high tide. This meant that the water from the storm surged 20 feet initially and stayed until the next high tide pushed in more water.
The next two days the group worked in a home in Keansburg, N.J. They replaced the flooring and subflooring in the kitchen that had been badly damaged by the rising water of the storm. They had to completely tear out the back wall of the house as it was severely damaged by the storm. The team installed insulation, new windows, sheeting and wrapped the back wall with Tyvek.
This family consisted of a mother and her 12-year-old son, who has severe asthma. The mold and mildew were very bad for this boy's condition. But as the team found in so many cases, this family does not have enough money to move to another home, so they have to stay out of necessity.
The local group worked through the Lutheran Synod of New Jersey and its disaster coordinator, Amy Pennenga. She put the Lexington folks in touch with Gateway Church, a nondenominational congregation. They supplied the team with all of the building materials free of charge. Their on-site coordinator, Jim Rude, was very helpful, team members said.
The team found the people of the Jersey shore to be very warm and loving. The manager of the hotel where the group stayed gave the mission workers a discount on the price. One woman even cooked lunch for the team. Everywhere the group went, people applauded the work when they found out what they were doing.
There was mass destruction in Union Beach, N.J. Three hundred homes were completely destroyed, and many more were severely damaged.
One side note involves the 26 school children and adults who were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut. This really hit home to the people all over the Northeast. As a result, 26 communities in the Northeast have been chosen for public parks to be built in memory of those who lost their lives in this tragedy. One of the parks will be located very near where the Lexington group worked. Ironically, it will be located in a place named Sandy Hook, N.J.
The six members of First Lutheran who went on the trip were the Rev. Eddie Pless, team leader, Allen Mabry, David Apple, John Leonard, Tawn Bizzell and Carol Leonard.

This article originally appeared in "Court Records" by Sandra Hargreaves Luebking, FUGA, Loretto Dennis Szucs, FUGA, and Arlene H. Eakle, Ph.D. in The Source: A Guidebook to American Genealogy
Common equity cases are probate disputes, estate divisions, divorce proceedings, adoptions, dissolution of partnerships, and other cases involving property rights.
The Bill (Declaration or Petition)
The action begins by filing a bill stating the plaintiff's case and praying the chancellor (judge) for relief. The bill must state every fact entitling the plaintiff to relief. After printing became more common, many courts required these bills to be printed and presented in court as bound volumes.
Filing and Service
The bill is filed with the clerk of the court, and a copy is served on the defendant as prescribed by statute or rules of the court. A proof of service (return) must appear on the back of the record. At this point, the bill may be tested to determine if it is sufficient to entitle the plaintiff to a remedy at equity. This is called a demurrer (meaning to delay or stay).
The answer, setting up every circumstance the defendant will use, must be filed within the time stated. If there are several defendants, each may file an answer, although one will suffice. If the defendant fails to file or admits all the allegations, judgment by default or decree pro confesse (judgment because of confession) will be given. The case ends here.
Hearings and Proof
Equity trials are generally conducted without a jury. The chancellor has the power to decide both questions of fact as a jury and questions of law as a judge. The rules of evidence applicable to suits at law also apply, but the proceedings are more direct. Frequently, in cases without serious dispute over the facts, no oral testimony is introduced. The matter is argued to a conclusion upon the allegations set forth in the bill and answer. If proof is necessary, it is usually brief. There are four common methods of presenting proof:
- Depositions. Obtained by written questions or through oral examination by counsel, summarized and written. Such depositions are valuable where family members have moved from their birthplaces to unknown places, for their residences are recorded.
- Reference to special examiners (masters). This is a convenient method where the facts are complicated or where several hearings are necessary. The chancellor commissions a member of the bar to determine the facts of the case and make a report, including testimony and findings on the facts. The chancellor uses the report as a basis for the decree but is not bound to accept the findings of the master.
- Jury trial. Generally, equity litigants have no right to a jury trial, though the court may submit questions of fact to a jury if it chooses. The chancellor is not bound by the jury's verdict. In some states, however, the right to a jury trial in chancery cases is given by constitution or statute and can be set aside only for reasons that would justify a judge in setting aside a verdict in any law action, as, for instance, where the verdict was contrary to the evidence.
- Hearings before the court take place when the trial judge permits litigants or their legal representatives to present oral or written arguments.
A decree is the judgment or sentence determining the rights of the parties to the suit. A decree is final when it decides the whole case, reserving no further questions for the future judgment of the court. A decree dismissing a bill or ordering specific performances of a contract would be final. It is interlocutory when it reserves any question for future judicial consideration-for instance, ordering the delivery of property to a receiver or granting a temporary injunction.
A decree in equity is generally easier to enforce than a judgment in law. When the chancellor orders a person to execute a deed, perform a contract, account for trust funds, cancel a mortgage, or any of the various things it may order, the person must comply or be subject to fine or imprisonment. Disobedience to the order is contempt of court. All the machinery of the government, including the army, may be used to enforce a decree of equity.

Pension members of all ages have a mobile life—from young workers in their 20s to middle-aged professionals to elderly retirees. Ninety percent of American adults have a smart phone.1 In a typical week, 90 percent of 35-49 year olds browse the Internet on their smartphone (and 84 percent of those 70+).2 So why aren't pension systems using mobile to enable new levels of service for their members?
Retirement agencies have explored digital platforms as a means to deliver public service for the future. Many have established a Web presence. Some offer self-service options or straight-through processing. A few even use social media channels to reach out to members. But in sum, retirement agencies haven't adopted mobile.
This short point of view piece explores three ways in which pension systems can step out of sleep mode and take advantage of today's mobile opportunities.

Dec. 5, 2006
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. - Junior forward Jim Bayne had a double-double with 17 points and 12 rebounds, and sophomore guard Matt Maynard added 13 points to lead Western New England College to a 61-52 victory over MIT at Alumni Healthful Living Center, Tuesday night. Sophomore Jimmy Bartolotta netted a game-best 23 for the Engineers, although MIT was rarely efficient on offense.
The Golden Bears led the entire first half and enjoyed their largest lead of the frame at 16-9 with eight minutes left on the clock. Seven consecutive points over the next three minutes by Bartolotta brought MIT within two, while Mroz followed up a WNEC basket with a three to reduce the lead to one. The Golden Bears stretched the advantage back to five before the Engineers sliced the margin back to a single point with 1:30 to go. MIT was unable to get in front of Western New England, and although Bartolotta missed a three to tie at the buzzer, MIT trailed only 29-26 heading into the locker room.
Whatever message head coach Larry Anderson delivered to his team during the intermission, it appeared to work at the outset of the second half. MIT opened the first four minutes of the period on a 10-4 run to move ahead, 38-33. Mroz and Bradley Gampel connected on three's during the stretch, while Bartolotta penetrated the defense for a pair of buckets.
Despite the surge, the Golden Bears were able to chip away at the slim lead and pull even at 51-51 with less than seven minutes left in regulation. The Engineers enjoyed their last lead of the night at the same time they scored their last field goal; with 7:24 left in the contest. During the final seven-plus minutes of action, Western New England outscored MIT, 10-1, with the Engineers getting their only point on a Mroz free throw with 12 seconds left. MIT missed its last 10 shots and turned the ball over on three consecutive possessions during the difficult stretch.
Bartolotta scored 23 to pace the MIT attack and Mroz added 11 off the bench. Western New England out-rebounded the Engineers, 40-36, in the team's first meeting since 1997. For the fourth time this season, MIT was held under 36% shooting (31.7%). The Cardinal and Gray have lost all four games.

Like many parents, when long-time Chestnut Hill resident Christine Drake Donahower's children were raised and had moved out of the house, she had ample time on her hands to do what she had always wanted to do.
For Donahower, 72, that thing is painting. Born and raised in Hatboro, Donahower graduated from Lake Erie College in Ohio in 1960 with a degree in psychology and art. But her art career, that is, her daily painting life would not begin until 30 years later. First, she raised her three children, all of whom attended Chestnut Hill Academy or Springside School.
The Chestnut Hill experience must have been beneficial to Donahower and her kids. Her youngest son, Carl Drake, owns the local Drake's Gourmet Foods and Catering at 8419 Germantown Ave. Her daughter, Kim Croney, is a landscape designer who runs Mulberry Designs in Haverford. And her oldest son, Craiger, owns Craiger Drake Designs, a high-end jewelry gallery in the historic 1616 Walnut St. building in Center City.
And Donahower herself has experienced her own successes. While her paintings have been featured in numerous exhibitions and she has won several awards, her most prestigious event took place when her work was exhibited at the Philadelphia Museum of Art Dining Room Show in 2002.
Currently, Donahower's work is on display at Campbell's Place, a pub at 8337 Germantown Ave., until the end of July. It features contemplative landscapes, paintings of homes and nature scenes all seen during her daily excursions in the area to places like the woods and creeks of Wissahickon Park, the hills of Manayunk or the banks of the Delaware River. Donahower says that all proceeds from sales of the paintings will be donated to health-related charities.
Though she only began building her portfolio when she enrolled in Montgomery County Community College in 1991, Donahower has made art, in one way or another, part of her career.
After her undergraduate work, she studied occupational therapy at the University of Pennsylvania. Following graduation, she worked with psychiatric patients at The Institute of Pennsylvania Hospital, an institution that no longer exists today. She made jewelry, paintings and ceramics with her patients, using art as a medium to heal. Donahower also helped run the Drake family jewelry store and designed some of its jewelry.
But her career as an artist really began 18 years ago, when she was 54. That's when she enrolled in the certificate program at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA), where she received formal art training and graduated in 1997. She has also taken classes at Woodmere Art Museum.
"I really wanted to learn more," said Donahower. "I had friends who went to PAFA who told me how great it was. But I needed a portfolio, so I went to Montco to build mine up."
As is has turned out, the talent Donahower felt within, and must have passed on to her children, came to be recognized by the public. Her work has been exhibited at USArtists American Fine Arts Shows, Woodmere Art Museum Juried Shows, the Main Line Center Line Arts Show and numerous others. She received the Fred and Naomi Gibson Hazell Prize for best composition as well as the George S. Hobensack, Jr. Memorial Award. She also painted an elephant, sponsored by Robertson's Flowers and Kilian Hardware, for the 2006 AbZoolutely Chestnut Hill Exhibition.
Donahower paints the majority of her work "en plein air" ("in the open air"), a style made famous by Claude Monet. "You don't (choose the locations)," she said. "They choose you … It's a God-given talent. I don't know. It's just my perception of nature."
In addition to her artwork, Donahower works with a number of charities at places like the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and her church, the Church of the Messiah in Lower Gwynedd Township, where she now resides. She also plays tennis at the Philadelphia Cricket Club and sings off-key, she joked. As if that were not enough, she also works with her son, Carl, a few days a week, helping to prepare and organize his food display case, where she is "careful not to make a mistake."
"I feel lucky at this stage in my life," she said. (Christine's late husband's name was Dave {J. David Donahower}. He was an investment advisor who died at the age of 69 in 1999.)

Draw #11: The Battle of the Unbeatens,
the early ends
Draw 11 features Canada vs. Scotland. Both teams come into the game with perfect 6-0 records. But they are very different teams. It will be fun to see how the play evolves between these two teams with their different styles and backgrounds.
Through their first six games, Canada has curled 85% (ranked 1st) and Scotland has curled 81% (ranked 5th). Also, if Scotland finds itself needing precise draws from their skip, Brewster, they may have a bit more trouble if his draw percentages (64%) are any indication.
It was fun to see Scotland come into the arena wearing RoughRider jerseys. And Team Canada had their Green and White jackets on.
End 1. Standard corner guard opening; Canada has the hammer. Canada has a rock on the button, Scotland has two in the 4', and there are others in play, too. Mead (vice, CA) is a couple of inches short with his draw to the button, but Brewster is a touch short, too. Stoughton's a bit wide with his tap, leaving Canada shot but Scotland second shot, all around the button. Brewster double taps, raising a SC rock into the shot rock and moving it back off the button. CA may be shot, and they might have a chance to score a few. But at the same time, they could give up a steal. Stought opts for a runback of Scotland's centre-line guard. He makes it and scores two. CA 2, SC 0.
End 2. It is fascinating to watch Stoughton and Brewster chatting together at the back of the house. We don't see that often. What a crowd! About as many as were here for the opening draw. Add to that the general rip-roaring spirit inspired by all the green (makes me think of Rider games) plus the fun from the Scots fans who enjoy singing and chanting (reminiscent of European soccer games), and there's lots of good fun and noise.
Canada has three rocks on the centre line in the top of the house; Scotland has one in the side 12'. Andrews (2nd, SC) removes one CA rock and rolls to the side, but not far enough to guard their rock in the rings, which Carruthers (2nd, CA) removes with a hit and stick. But then Andrews doubles off the other two CA rocks in the rings.
Through it all, Canada splits the rings leading up to skips' stones. But Stoughton lets SC off the hook when he hits and rolls out with his first stone. In turn, Brewster hit and rolled out, too, leaving an opportunity for Stoughton to draw behind a corner guard, but he is mostly open, so Brewster can hit and roll out to blank the end. Instead, he decides to draw (Oops, remember what I wrote above) and comes up light. Steal of one for Canada. CA 3, SC 0

CHICAGO – A white supremacist solicited violence against a juror by revealing his personal details online, an appellate court ruled Friday, overturning a lower court's decision that tossed the neo-Nazi's conviction on the grounds that his posts were protected by the First Amendment.
The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the posts by William White – who gained notoriety for threatening then-presidential candidate Barack Obama in online postings in 2008 – weren't subject to the shield that the U.S. Constitution extends to most speech.
"White rightfully emphasizes that the First Amendment protects even speech that is loathsome," the three-judge panel in Chicago said in its unanimous, 30-page ruling. "But criminal solicitations are simply not protected by the First Amendment."
The judges also said White shouldn't get a new trial and should proceed to sentencing. A sentencing date will be set later.
In early 2011, the Roanoke, Va., a man was convicted of one count of solicitation for publishing a juror's name, photograph, home address, phone numbers and sexual orientation on his website in
The juror he singled out had been the foreman of a jury that convicted another white supremacist, Matthew Hale, of soliciting the murder of a federal judge.
Later that year, U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman reversed the conviction, writing that "the government failed to present sufficient evidence" that the posts somehow solicited harm to the White's target. "I further find the posts protected by the First Amendment."
The appeals court reinstated the original conviction in a ruling that referred several times to White's ominous postings suggesting an assassination attempt against Obama a month before the last presidential election. White was never charged in relation to those comments.
The lower court said in its decision that the threats against the juror weren't explicit enough to cross the line into unprotected speech.
But the appeals court said Friday that White's followers would have understood he wanted the juror to be harmed, just as they would have understood the threat against Obama to be
"Readers of [White's website] were not casual Web browsers," the ruling said, "but extremists molded into a community by the Internet – loyal and avid readers who, whether or not they remember every specific solicitation to assassination, knew that [the website] identified hateful enemies who should be assassinated."
The posting about Obama included a photograph of him with swastika-shaped crosshairs superimposed over his face and the words, "White people must deny [him] the presidency... by any means necessary."
White, the self-styled leader of the American National Socialist Workers Party, is already behind bars stemming from a separate conviction of making threats and intimidation.
In that case, he was accused of writing a letter addressed to the young children of an apartment resident who was suing her landlord for discrimination.
White's website, www.overthrow.com , regularly attacked nonwhites, Jews and homosexuals and expressed approval for acts of violence. White no longer has control of postings to that website.

Come on, everybody, join in and accept the mission and execute it with precision. Here's your chance to sit on Genea-Santa's lap (virtually) and tell him your Christmas genealogy-oriented dreams:
1) Write your Genea-Santa letter. Have you been a good genealogy girl or boy? What genealogy-oriented items are on your Christmas wish list? They could be family history items, technology items, or things that you want to pursue your ancestral quest.
2) Tell us about them in your own blog post, in a comment on this post, or in a Facebook status or Google Stream post.
As anyone in my family can attest, I've never been big on the whole Santa Claus mythos. That said, I still like Christmas gifts as much as the next person! I think I've been a pretty good genealogy boy. My goal has been to better document my tree with source material, preferably properly cited. This is the part of genealogy, in my opinion, that makes it hard. Anyone can collect a string of names and dates, but proving them correct and citing your evidence is akin to working on a college thesis!
I have a few items for my wish list, and reasons why those things made my list:
- Flip-pal Scanner - For obvious reasons, a portable scanner would be handy in all sorts of genealogy field trip ways! Plus, as a technical sort, it appeals to the gadget freak in me.
- Ancestry.com subscription - I've never had one. That's right, I've been doing genealogy since about 1992, and never had one. I've taken advantage of their occasional freebie weeks, but that's it. I've always thought them overpriced. I still do, but it would be nice to have access to all of those digitized sources.
- Evidence Explained - This ties in with my goal above of properly documenting and citing my tree. This is THE book that is the agreed-upon standard of how we want to do this in the genealogical community.
- An elf to help me break my McMurry wall - all roads end in Arkansas about 1870. Family rumors hint at some sort of family schism, probably during the Civil War, with this line breaking off from the rest of the family. I'm having great difficulty finding any solid documentation. Maybe Ancestry will have something more?

When deciding whether to rent or buy, you are making the choice to rent an apartment home or renting the capital needed to buy a home. Most Americans don't consider that they are renting equity (from the bank) to buy a home. As you are aware, very little equity is built in the first few years of paying a mortgage. Many people are surprisingly still very unaware of this fact.
This following article explains how renting is financially better than buying in about 75% of cases!
For the Past 30 Years, Renting Was Generally Better Than Buying
If homeownership is the American dream, then the nation had better wake up. That's the message from a new research paper that examines whether buying or renting a home was a better financial decision over the past 30 years. Most would find the result surprising: over the period Americans were better off renting between 65% and 75% of the time, depending on the investment alternative.
The article essentially looks at eight-year periods and assumes that a person invests the money he or she saves by renting. Since buying is generally more expensive than renting, renters have extra money to invest. It also makes a number of assumptions favorable to homeownership, including gains from the mortgage interest tax deduction, the option to refinance, and the ability to walk away -- loss-free -- from an underwater mortgage. Still, renting wins approximately three-quarters of the time.
The staff at economic research organization e21 explains why this result actually shouldn't be so shocking:
Counterintuitive as the finding may be to some, it is actually quite logical. Unless someone possesses the cash necessary to buy a residence, he or she will be renting one way or another. The choice is between renting the property directly or instead renting the capital necessary to buy the property. The amount of capital to be rented is a function of house prices, while the bulk of a mortgage payment is interest, which is the rental payment on this capital. After 2 years, the typical 30-year amortizing mortgage balance has been reduced by less than 3%. This means that a household that took out a $300,000 mortgage with a 5% interest rate to buy a home has only reduced its mortgage balance by $8,600 after two years despite spending nearly $39,000 in total over this period.
Housing advocates may respond by pointing out that at least the $8,600 in this scenario went towards home equity rather than simply being squandered on rent. But, as demonstrated in the Real Estate Economics article, the principal component of each mortgage payment - i.e. the portion of the mortgage payment that goes towards reducing the principal mortgage balance instead of interest - is an added expense renters don't have.
This turns the real estate industry's biggest talking point on its head: you aren't throwing rent into the wind each month, you're casting away equity.
Of course, that equity also provides a potential benefit. The analysis's eight-year rolling methodology appears to miss the biggest reward of owning a home: living rent-free once the home is paid off. After that 30-years is up, the longer a family remains in that home rent-free, the more buying pays off. Taking this into account would almost certainly change the result in some, if not all situations. Renting may be a better option initially, but there's no eventual reward.
An important point still needs to be made here: buying a home that you don't plan to live in for an extended period of time probably isn't a great idea. The rent you pay in the form of interest on a 30-year loan for five or even 10 years won't be any better than if you had just rented outright. But if you're planning on living in a home for 30-plus years, then you could potentially get some benefit from buying rather than renting.

I'm curious to see if Connor looking off Pam's answer at the roadblock will affect their u-turn agreement.
From the first video:Basically Dave & Connor, Pam & Winnie and Caroline & Jennifer agree not to U-Turn each other because they're all in first... Max & Katie aren't there but it sounds like they're part of this agreement. And then Dave decides to ask if they'll let him take the fast forward? I can't tell if this fast forward talk is for future legs or this leg... These 4 teams have a 4 hour lead (according to Pam... or is it Winnie?).From the second video:Katie says that they have about a 3-4 hour lead over the back 4 or 5 teams (she doesn't know that it was an elimination leg). The first 4 teams agreed not to U-Turn each other if it's not a blind U-Turn. That way, the last 4 teams will have the U-Turns to use on each other. If it's a blind U-Turn, they decided to use the U-Turn on John & Jessica and Joey & Meghan. Max & Katie think that Joey & Meghan are sneaky and they want to break up their "little crew".
Still doesn't know about the agreement is about,
since i was new in this forum... somehow i think that the human chess thing is a FF since it's kinda hard and imbalanced with the other option( i mean playing chess is already hard, but plus real people, and in vietnam? i don't think it would be easy )what do you guys think?and i'm sorry for my english, i'm still trying to be good at it

What people say about Danner Men's Radical 452 GTX Coffee Outdoor Boot,Coffee,14 D US?
Sometimes being Radical is a good thing
I have 43 years of hiking, backpacking and peak bagging experience. In recent years I migrated, like most people, from all-leather European-style mountain boots to lighter fabric/leather combination boots. They seemed to work well for a while but two years ago I started experiencing significant pain in my toes, instep and heel. I concluded that my lightweight boots from a well known outdoor supplier were a contributing factor, if not the root of the problem because they didn't provide sufficient torsional (side-to-side) rigidity.
Danner's advertisement for the "Terra Force" boot support system convinced me to buy the Radical GTX two years ago.
The first thing I liked about the Radicals was the roomy box toe area that eliminated occasional rubbing problems caused by my prior boots' smaller toe box. There was also plenty of instep space for my high arch. Unlike many boots that now come in a single width the Radical's multiple widths allow a wider fit in the ball of…

Well since, Sunday can't around fast enough? Anyone care to guess the outcome of the Saturday NFL games?
Cincinatti vs. Houston
Bengals will squeak one by Houston. 21-14. I think Texans will come out flat against the Bengals.
Minnesota vs. Greenbay
*Just a gut feeling that Greenbay will come out with their offense hitting all cylinder and outscore Viking 42-28 (Packers over Vikings). I just feel like Rodgers is just going to put into 2nd gear in this game, even though the last game was close.

Fiji's new constitution raises hopes and concerns
SUVA, Fiji (AP) — Fiji's military regime passed a new constitution Friday in a step that's raising both hopes and concerns among many who want democracy restored to the South Pacific island nation.
The regime that seized power in a 2006 coup says the constitution is another step toward it holding free elections next year. The document lays out the framework for a democracy, including a Parliament consisting of 50 representatives elected every four years on the basis of one person, one vote.
But many say the constitution also curtails freedoms and is self-serving to the regime. The constitution allows for some freedoms to be suspended when leaders perceive a threat to public safety, order or morality — exemptions that critics say are broad enough to allow rulers to repress opponents.
Fiji police on Friday arrested about a dozen people, including a former prime minister, who were apparently peacefully protesting the new constitution, highlighting the restrictions that opposition groups continue to face.
It's the country's fourth constitution since 1970. It was signed by President Ratu Epeli Nailatikau and will take effect Saturday. It comes after a draft prepared by an outside expert, Yash Ghai, was discarded by the regime, which then came up with its own version.
Fiji's leader Frank Bainimarama said the constitution enshrines principles including an independent judiciary, a secular state, and a range of civil, political, and socio-economic rights. He said it provides a blueprint for the country to move forward.
"On any fair reading, it safeguards the rights of every Fijian and finally lays the basis for the development of a modern, progressive and enlightened state," he said.
Bainimarama plans to contest next year's elections.
Mick Beddoes, a spokesman for the opposition group United Front for a Democratic Fiji, said the constitution was not a document of the people. He and former Prime Minister Mahendra Chaudhry were among those arrested and taken into custody for about two hours during Friday's protests.
Advocacy group Human Rights Watch said provisions in the constitution that grant forgiveness for past abuses and coups will give complete immunity to coup leaders.
"Rarely has a whitewash of past rights abuses been so sweeping and absolute," said Phil Robertson, the group's deputy Asia director, in a statement.
He said Bainimarama's government has consistently attacked its critics and that the military and police have indiscriminately arrested and detained human rights defenders, journalists, and labor leaders.
Neighboring countries including New Zealand and Australia have cautiously welcomed the new constitution. Australia's Foreign Minister Bob Carr said it was a significant development and important step toward Fiji holding elections next year.
Perry reported from Wellington, New Zealand.

The problem is that at least version 1.1 had a slight issue with memory leaks. It grew to consume more and more RAM. So I recommend to close and reopen it before doing the encode. Or you just close it and do the encode with the command line program openshot-renderer! That also means you can easily edit the video on one computer and then encode it on some other computer, e.g. a headless server. And Openshot encodes pretty quickly as well. Even on my slow old notebook I can export from FullHD in a very short amount of time!
Video editing has never been this easy, fun and fast!

The Economics department at West Valley College is committed to providing objective and high-quality instruction in economics principles and concepts. The goal is to raise the economic and financial literacy of students and provide a set of tools for individuals in their decision-making processes.
If you would like to understand wealth, poverty, growth, trade, money, jobs, income, depression, recession, prices, monopoly -- and study what makes the world work from day to day -- then you will surely be fascinated with the field of economics. Economics concerns all of us. Some of the important questions we try to answer are: Why do we have so much unemployment in a nation as rich as the United States? How is it that unemployment and inflation occur together? What causes inflation? Why are some nations rich and some poor?
Why do nations trade? Who determines how much money is circulating in the economy? Is the stock market important? Why don't we grow faster? What can we do about energy or environmental pollution?
Economics is the study of the allocation of scarce resources among competing uses, either through conscious public policy or through market forces. It is essentially the science of choice in a world of scarcity. The analytical skill of economists is useful in evaluating alternative methods of achieving society's goals and objectives and in formulating strategies and policies that will help to achieve these objectives.
Economics falls somewhere between the practical and the theoretical; we deal in theories, but there are many economists who use these theories to advise governments and large corporations. The best known and most powerful of these are the economists who form the Council of Economic Advisors, trying to give the President of the United States some help in steering the American economy. To understand how they think, you should take some economics courses and perhaps even major in it, if you like your initial exposure.

Economists working for corporations may be involved with forecasting sales of the firm's products or analyzing growth and market share of the firm's competitors. Other economists working in the private sector may assist their firm with monitoring environmental and/or labor laws and assessing their impacts on the business. Firms with operations overseas employ economists to observe and assess the economic situations in countries where they do business.
The government also employs many economists to collect and analyze data on production, distribution and consumption of goods and services in the U.S. economy. Economists are also used to assess economic conditions, evaluate the economic impacts of specific laws and/or changes in public policy, and advise policymakers on issues such as telecommunication deregulation, Social Security reform, and tax cuts.
Not-for-profit organizations also have economists at work to collect and analyze socio-economic data and trends that impact their constituents. Economists also assist nonprofit groups that focus on community development and/or raising the standard of living with assessing the value of different projects and grants.
Median pay for economists is above average and growth in employment is as fast as the average for all occupations. For more information on the job outlook for economists, see the Occupational Outlook Handbook published by the U.S. Department of Labor.

Its so difficult to come back ones you are away from it for a long long time.Well now that i am back i intend to blog atleast ones a week. A comeback has to always begin with something sweet.
Carrot cake is something both B and me love.When we want it ,we usually buy it from our nearby grocery stores.It comes with this extra sweet thick layer of cream cheese or sugar frosting on top which we are not a great fan of and most of it goes to waste. So decided to bake one at home where we can have all the carrot cake without worrying the frosting going to waste or not. Here was a neat recipe i came across in a cooking book i borrowed from the library- The Complete Cooking Light Cookbook ,compiled and edited by Cathy A Wesler. The carrot cake was soooooooooooooo moist and delicious.The sweetness was just perfect. We didnt miss the frosting at all. You have got to try this one.Here is the recipe.

I used to be a crazy photographer. I have 45,000 pictures from the last 2-3 years and don't even have a baby to photograph. This year I've slowed down with my picture-taking, so when I woke up after Thanksgiving ready to shoot something, it was an urge I could resist, to my husband's chagrin.
We got ready to go get some Black Friday shopping done, happened to put on matching outfits, and after a quick look in the mirror , I knew who my next photography victim was going to be. Since i stopped maniacally taking pictures, we haven't taken any fun/good family photos in the past year. So I dragged A. around the house like a mad woman armed with a tripod, a nifty-fifty and a Mark II. The result was a bit better than expected.
Here are some of them:

Bargain book shoppers must have been pleased looking at Amazon's bestseller list this weekend: The online bookseller had dropped prices on some of its top-selling hardcovers, as much as 64% off retail.
The sudden discounts were so deep that one bookseller called them "a declaration of war."
Sheryl Sandberg's "Lean In," Amazon's No. 9 bestseller, is priced at $9.09, 64% off its cover price. Khaled Hosseini's "And the Mountains Echoed," No. 5 on the site, is marked down 58% to $16.91. Dan Brown's latest Robert Langdon thriller, "Inferno," at No. 4 on Amazon's bestseller list, is marked down 61% to $11.65.
While people are used to seeing deals at Amazon, these price cuts are unusually deep. The booksellers' newsletter Shelf Awareness delivered a rare Saturday issue about them, writing that the discounts were at "levels we've never seen in the history of Amazon."
"It's an open declaration of war against the industry," Jack McKeown, president of Books & Books Westhampton Beach in New York, told Shelf Awareness.
Amazon and the publishers affected declined to comment on the discounts.
On Tuesday, President Obama is expected to appear at an Amazon shipping center in Tennessee; the company recently announced that it will hire 5,000 new warehouse workers at it regional distribution centers.

The passage of a new government program for peanuts leads to a couple of major decisions for farmers, says Nathan Smith, University of Georgia Extension economist. The first decision, he says, is related to the establishment of a peanut base, and the other decision is concerned with what to grow.
The new farm bill replaces the quota system with a marketing loan system of production. "In addition, peanut producers will receive an annual direct payment and a counter-cyclical payment in years of low prices. These two payments will be calculated from a newly established peanut base," says Smith.
The seven major program crops — corn, cotton, barley, grain sorghum, oats, rice and wheat — currently have payment bases (base acreage times program yield) from which transition (AMTA) payments are calculated through production flexibility contracts, he explains.
"The AMTA payments are 'decoupled' from current production, meaning what a producer grows each year under the 1996 farm bill doesn't affect the amount of payment received by the producer. The provision is commonly known as planting flexibility.
"For example, the base acreage does not have to be grown in corn to receive the corn AMTA payment. In most cases, any commodity can be grown on base acreage with the exception of fruits and vegetables, in which there are special rules," says Smith.
Peanuts, he adds, will have similar rules and payments with the establishment of a peanut base. Producers with a history of producing peanuts from 1998-2001 will be able to establish base acreage and a program yield for peanuts. Unique to peanuts, the producer with peanut base can assign it to a farm on his or on another landowner's land after which it become tied to the land.
The new farm bill, notes Smith, gives producers the option to update base acreage on the major program crops according to 1998-2001 planting history or retain current AMTA bases. Producers also can update program yields to be used in calculating counter-cyclical payments.
Thus, one of the first major decisions for producers, the economist says, is whether to update base production for major program crops or retain their current AMTA base production.
"Several farms have fewer base acres than acres farmed, thus updating to recent history likely is the best choice for these operations. However, a farm cannot have more base acres than owned acres.
"With the establishment of a new peanut base, it's possible some producers could end up with more total base acres on their farm than tillable land they own.
"A decision will have to be made as to which crop base to keep and where to assign peanut base. Since peanut base has a one-time assignment, it can be moved to free up owned acreage."
Another choice, says Smith, is to decide which base to drop by examining which crop bases provide the larger payments. For example, if the corn direct payment is $20 per acre, cotton is $37 per acre and peanuts $38 per acre, then you might give up corn base to meet owned land restriction.
"An added wrinkle to this decision is the counter-cyclical payment. In years of low prices, a counter-cyclical payment may be made on base acres for each crop. Assume that the maximum counter-cyclical payment for corn, cotton and peanuts is $25, $76 and $111 respectively.
"By adding the counter-cyclical payments to the direct payment, the total potential payments for each crop base would be $45, $113 and $149 per acre for corn, cotton and peanuts respectively. The only guaranteed payment is the direct payment.
"Remember that a low average season price triggers if and how much of a counter-cyclical payment is paid. So, what prices do over the life of the farm bill determines which base will pay more."
The major adjustment for many peanut farmers will be making planting decisions and deciding what to grow from year to year, says Smith. As a result of the new peanut program, peanut prices will be more responsive to the market. Instead of quota determining supply, market prices (and loan rate) for peanuts and competing crops will be the major factor in how many peanuts are planted.
"Looking at individual decisions, knowing one's cost of production will be very important in accurately projecting and making enterprise decisions. Using University of Georgia Extension budgets as an example, 2002 variable costs for irrigated and non-irrigated peanuts are budgeted at $461 and $404 per acre respectively. Total economic costs are budgeted at $703 and $556 per acre, excluding land management.
"Using a 3,500-pound yield for irrigated peanuts and a 2,500-pound yield for non-irrigated peanuts, the price required to cover total costs — or the break-even price — is $402 per ton and $445 per ton, respectively. When the market isn't offering prices to cover total costs, producers need to at least cover their variable production costs.
"In this case, the break-even price above variable costs is $263 and $332 per ton, respectively. The price received from a contract or the market loan needs to be above these prices at a minimum."
To compare with other crops such as cotton, look at the returns above variable and total costs for each crop, Smith advises.
Direct and counter-cyclical payments in the new farm bill are not tied to production, he says. "These payments will be received whether you plant peanuts or cotton. This is the new wrinkle of farm programs — planting flexibility. So your planting decisions should be based on the market and your cost of production, not program base payments."
Summing up the changes in the new farm bill, Smith says the safety net has been increased for program crops, and peanuts now fit under that same policy.
"Though change sometimes is stressful, it also brings new opportunities. By utilizing the marketing loan, producers can have more control over marketing their peanuts. This can be done collectively through cooperatives, for example."
Access to storage, he adds, will be important in maintaining beneficial interest for marketing loan purposes. "The Georgia grower is agronomically competitive in growing peanuts, so we expect peanuts, along with cotton, to still be grown predominately. An opportunity to emphasize quality is possible under the new program.
"Given current trade policy and future direction, the new peanut program will make U.S. peanuts much more competitive and greatly reduce the threat of imports taking large portions of U.S. market share. Recent increases in domestic demand have gone to imports. Producers and the United States now have the opportunity to recapture this market share."

15 September 2012, Geneva, Switzerland – The United Nations Office at Geneva (UNOG) opened its doors to the local population of Geneva as a form of "Open Day" last Saturday. According to UNOG, some 9,000 people visited the Palais des Nations and the Ariana Park. The main objective of the Open Day was to showcase the diverse work of the United Nations system in Geneva to the general public. This year also coincides with the 10th anniversary of Switzerland becoming a United Nations member state.
UNITAR participated in the Open Day by organizing 3 events:
1. "UNITAR exhibition stand" to raise awareness of UNITAR activities among Geneva public and the diplomatic community
2. "Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) demonstration" by UNOSAT
3. Screening of the documentary "Mandated to Protect -- Protection of Civilians in Peacekeeping Operations" at the UNOG Cinema
The UAV demonstration was part of the VIP guided tour programme, which was headed by the UNOG Director General. Some 40 VIPs, including government officials from Swiss and Geneva authorities, heads of UN agencies and Ambassadors, listened to the explanation of how UAVs are used in a real life situation, watched the quadrochopter taking off from the ground, and enjoyed the view from the sky on a large screen placed in the tent.
At the UNITAR stand, interested public took home various programme brochures, asked questions, and left their email addresses to receive UNITAR e-Newsletters and course announcements.

You know in a video game or a movie, how the hero easily grabs a knife from an attacker and subdues that enemy? Well, that's in video games or movies — fantasy! Real life is different.
However, as numerous YouTube commenters pointed out, the "real life" versions of the attacks are missing the confrontation. They simply show the attack, which seems to be the point…to make this point.
Want to know how to protect yourself if someone pulls a knife? Run and scream for help. Someone should make a game about that.

Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) agreed to sell its Motorola TV business to Arris Group (NASDAQ:ARRS) this week for $2.35 billion in a cash and stock deal.
Continue Reading Below
The transaction, announced late Wednesday night, gives Google a 15.7% stake in Arris, a Suwanee, Georgia-based cable equipment maker.
Arris, which is scooping up the unit from Motorola Mobility, said the deal should be "significantly accretive" to its earnings starting in 2014, the first full year after the transaction closes. It is currently slated to close by the second quarter of 2013, pending regulatory approvals.
Arris, whose shares soared more than 8% Thursday morning to a 52-week high of $15.90, said the buy of Motorola Home will grow its patent portfolio and support initiatives to provide next-generation consumer video products and services.
"This transformational combination of two complementary businesses will create a leading end-to-end provider of today's video, data, and voice products and tomorrow's next-generation IP-based broadband products," Arris CEO Bob Stanzione said in a statement. "Ever-expanding consumer demand for bandwidth will continue to drive growth across cloud and network technologies we provide."
With the Motorola TV business, Arris's global presence grows to more than 500 million customers in 70 countries, more than tripling its pro forma combined revenue to about $4.7 billion. Motorola Home last year generated revenues of $3.4 billion.The combination is expected to bring annual cost synergies of $100 million to $125 million, the companies said.
Evercore (NYSE:EVR) and Bank of America Merrill Lynch (NYSE:BAC) are providing financial advice to Arris, while Barclay's (NYSE:BCS) serves as Google's financial advisor.

Why Won't Universal Music Let You See The 20/20 Report From 1980 About How The Music Industry Is Dying?
from the the-sky-is-falling! dept
"Records, you don't have to buy to hear music. There's sensational equipment out there. There's great FM radio. There's enormous amounts of music out there, without having to buy a record. Counterfeiting, home-taping, and the failure of major artists to deliver records on some kind of regular basis."It's really funny to watch. After complaining about companies shutting down, layoffs and fights against counterfeiters, the report points out that the industry is betting on video laser discs to bring back the profits.

Ancient meat-eating dinosaurs held their arms with palms facing inwards like their bird descendants, a rare set of 198-million-year-old fossilised handprints has revealed. An analysis of the prints, published this week in PLoS One, supports theories that even very early therapods [lit. 'beast feet'] such as tyrannosaurs and velociraptors had bird-like forelimbs, and walked only on two legs, well before they evolved feathery wings.
The handprints came from a dinosaur that sat down on the edge of a lake in St George, Utah, and extended its arms far enough to leave sediment marks. Six other resting dinosaur traces have been reported before, but they all lack clear hand prints.
This means, reports the Chicago Tribune, that we must banish images of tyrannosaurs holding their forearms like monkeys, with palms facing downwards – a posture that palaeontologists apparently term the "bunny position" – as depicted in Jurassic Park. Instead, we must imagine that dinosaurs were extremely good at holding basketballs.
"What this seems to imply is that, even from fairly early in their history, dinosaurs were entirely bipedal and weren't using their forearms to support themselves in any way," paleontologist Tom Holtz of the University of Maryland, says. "Because of that, the hands could specialize as weapons, to grab on to a struggling animal or to fight with other dinosaurs."

A controversy over whether today's Constellation is one of the U.S. Navy's first sail frigates or its last sail corvette stemmed from the Navy's inexplicable 1909 classification of her as a frigate of 1797. Even though experts have proved she's not that old, after restoration and renovation the ship returning to Baltimore's Inner Harbor is a treasure by any measure.
By 1852, the 38-gun sail frigate Constellation , launched in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1797, lay old and rotting in the Gosport (Norfolk, Virginia) Navy Yard. She had been laid up there since 1845, after nearly 50 years' outstanding service in peace and war. As part of its shipbuilding plan for 1853, the U.S. Navy had decided to construct a new sail sloop-of-war (or corvette—to use the French designation adopted by the world's navies) rated at 22 guns and to perpetuate the name Constellation in her. 1 The Navy's history with its steamers had been mixed. A few were excellent ships with reliable machinery; other ships were very poor, and most were considered just adequate. 2
William A. Graham, Secretary of the Navy from August 1850 to June 1852, did not believe the Navy needed a large number of new ships. By summer 1852, of four steamers authorized in 1847, three were finished and one nearly was completed; two more new ships also were completing. Graham was not a steam enthusiast and he felt sailing warships still were viable. He recommended in 1851 that the Navy build one steamer and one sailing ship yearly and by doing so keep abreast of developments in shipbuilding. 3 Graham's successor was John P. Kennedy, who served until the end of President Millard Fillmore's term in March 1853. He advocated some steamers, but nothing was done. Instead, it seems, Graham's plan was implemented because in 1853 and 1854 work began on a new sail corvette ( Constellation ) and a new steam frigate ( Franklin ). When James C. Dobbin became Secretary of the Navy in March 1853 under newly elected President Franklin Pierce, he let the Constellation 's building proceed while he prepared his proposal to Congress requesting large steam frigates. 4
For bureaucratic reasons, the Navy considered the Constellation and the Franklin to be "rebuilds" of their older predecessors so that money allocated already for ship-repair purposes could be used rather than having additional new-construction funds appropriated. Ship timber already in storage was also available for use. In reality, what "rebuilding" meant was that the old ship was broken up for scrap and a new one built to a new design, using both new and prestored materials. Accordingly, the old frigate Constellation was scrapped in early 1853. The keel of the new corvette of the same name was laid at the Gosport Navy Yard on 25 June 1853, and she was launched on 26 August 1854. After fitting out, she was commissioned for service on 28 July 1855. 5

A letter by our committee chairman dated January 15, 2013 expresses his gratitude and commitment to Jewish partnerships with the USCCB. In it, Bishop Madden also voices hope for the elimination of bias against Jews everywhere. The full text is on our Documents and News Releases Produced by the USCCB on Catholic-Jewish Relations page.
Documents and News Releases Produced by the Catholic-Jewish DialoguesDocuments and News Releases Produced by the USCCB on Catholic-Jewish Relations
During his Apostolic Visitation to the United States in April of 2008, Pope Benedict XVI addressed the Jewish community of New York City's Park East Synagogue. Speaking in tones of deep respect marked by fraternal warmth and affection, the pope stated:
"In addressing myself to you I wish to re-affirm the Second Vatican Council's teaching on Catholic-Jewish relations and reiterate the Church's commitment to the dialogue that in the past forty years has fundamentally changed our relationship for the better… Because of that growth in trust and friendship, Christians and Jews can rejoice together in the deep spiritual ethos of the Passover. "
Pope Benedict XVI was, of course, referring to the Second Vatican Council's document Nostra Aetate, whose 1965 publication proved to be a seminal moment in Jewish-Catholic relations. This new relationship, which has advanced steadily over the last fifty years, is rooted in Nostra Aetate's articulation of the Church's attitude of mutual respect and gratitude, as well as historical and theological indebtedness to Judaism and the Jewish people. As the final document promulgated by the Council, Nostra Aetate stated:
"As the sacred synod searches into the mystery of the Church, it remembers the bond that spiritually ties the people of the New Covenant to Abraham's stock. Thus the Church of Christ acknowledges that, according to God's saving design, the beginnings of her faith and her election are found already among the Patriarchs, Moses and the prophets. She professes that all who believe in Christ-Abraham's sons according to faith are included in the same Patriarch's call, and likewise that the salvation of the Church is mysteriously foreshadowed by the chosen people's exodus from the land of bondage. The Church, therefore, cannot forget that she received the revelation of the Old Testament through the people with whom God in His inexpressible mercy concluded the Ancient Covenant... Since the spiritual patrimony common to Christians and Jews is so great, this sacred synod wants to foster and recommend that mutual understanding and respect which is the fruit, above all, of biblical and theological studies as well as of fraternal dialogues." - Nostra Aetate #4
It was in this same spirit that in 1966 the Bishops of the United States began informal dialogue with the American Jewish community under the directorship of Rev. Edward Flannery and the fledgling Secretariat for Catholic-Jewish Relations. These consultations took on a formal status in 1977, when then director of the Secretariat, Dr. Eugene J. Fisher, convened a biannual symposium with the Synagogue Council of America (SCA), representing Reform, Conservative and Orthodox Judaism. In 1980, Dr. Fisher and Rabbi Daniel F. Polish published Formation of Social Policy in the Catholic and Jewish Traditions, followed in 1983 by Liturgical Foundations of Social Policy in the Catholic and Jewish Traditions, documenting the early years of the changing tide in Jewish-Catholic relations.
Consultations with the National Council of Synagogues (NCS), as successor to SCA and representative of Reform and Conservative Judaism in the United States, beganin 1987. Also initiated in 1987 was a separate dialogue between the Orthodox Union, the Rabbinical Council of America, and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) through the Bishops Committee on Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs. This group has explored topics of mutual importance to both communities, such as marriage and school choice, and has published official joint statements.

Ok, so it goes without saying that I think the Bible, the Koran, the Torah, and all other religious books should be considered fiction. Now, how the hell do I convince others of this?
We were having a discussion at work (i am a teacher) about fiction and non-fiction. A student asked a teacher if the bible was fiction or non-fiction. The teacher said the student should ask his parent. I thought that was a cheap ass answer, I mean the kid deserves a straightforward answer.
Another teacher said that, as a christian, she would put it as non-fiction. I replied that to a Muslim the Koran was non-fiction and should be held to be true. Well, uh, both can't be true, now can they?
According to her definition believing something is true makes it non-fiction. So all the stories about Santa, the Tooth fairy, easter bunny - those are all non-fiction since millions of kids everywhere believe they are true??? wha???
So, anyone got any definitions for this fiction vs. non-fiction concept? I would really like to win this argument.

Here is an exchange I had with a mormon over belief, but it might fit in here also;
I like your point that conflicting texts can't all be true and that simply believing a story is true does not make it so, but I'm still feeling stumped on this one. I'm hoping to see everyone else's answer.
