The Decision not to Drive
In my previous column, I mentioned that I do not drive because I do not trust my hand-eye coordination. Even though I am old enough to try to obtain a driver's license, my fear of my lack of skills prevents me from attempting to do so. My decision has affected my life in negative and positive ways, some of which I have never really thought about until now.
As I stated above, one of the primary reasons I have chosen not to drive is because I do not trust my own hand-eye coordination. For all of my life, I have had issues with learning to control my fine motor skills, and they still affect my daily routine. I need to be careful about the way I carry bags and heavy packages up and down stairs so I do not spill anything. Eating a meal becomes a delicate exercise in slowly moving the food from my plate to my mouth, because I am almost certain to drop it on the floor. If I were to begin driving, I am certain that I would be swerving all over the road because I would not be able to maintain firm control of the steering wheel.
Another reason I have decided not to drive at the present time is because I have problems taking in everything around me and staying focused on the road all at the same time. On a recent family trip, I conducted an experiment to see if I would be able to view the road through a driver's eyes. My mother told me that a good driver is able to take in everything they see all while keeping their eyes on the road. I do not possess this skill; instead, I tend to focus on one particular area, shifting my attention from one object to another. I need to work on shifting my focus in order to learn how to take everything in at one time.
Assuming the driver's position in the car would also deprive me from maintaining my personal comfort zone in the backseat. Ever since I was a young boy, I have felt most comfortable in the backseat of my family's cars, and over time, I have developed certain traditions which make family trips and errands more bearable for me. I rarely go on a trip without taking a good book along with me to pass the time. I tend to alternate between reading the book and taking short naps while the soft hum of the car passing along the road lulls me into a calm bliss. I am afraid that if I start driving, I will begin to lose this comfort zone.
My not pursuing a driver's license also affects my ability to be free to come and go as others my age do. Because I do not have the right to drive on my own yet, I depend on others to take me where I want to go. If I want to go to one of my favorite places such as the bookstore, I travel in the cars of people I trust who know how to drive; this position is often filled by my parents but can also include relatives and friends. This greatly restricts my movements, but I do not see this as a negative aspect at all. In fact, I accept it as a necessary limitation and think very little of it whenever I am out on an errand or trip.
On a positive note, I do not have to endanger myself or others with my untested driving skills just yet. In addition to ensuring my personal safety, any passengers I have, and any other oncoming drivers, my choice also allows me to maintain my comfort zone in the backseat.
I also do not want the added anxiety at this point in my life, and between writing columns and completing college, I feel that learning how to drive a car would add too many pressing concerns and take too much time out of my schedule.
I consider driving a car to be one of the most dangerous responsibilities of adulthood. I do believe that at some point on the road ahead, I will have to take up the challenge of driving a car, but right now, I want to spend a little more time at the rest stop.

Hills coming alive with 'The Sound of Music Live!'
NEW YORK – Maria, former would-be nun, is about to get married.
Starring as Maria in NBC's new version of "The Sound of Music," Carrie Underwood is clad in her own T-shirt and leggings plus a wedding veil as she reverently steps through the bare-bones Manhattan rehearsal space while three dozen castmates, on their feet as if in church, sing "How do you solve a problem like Maria?"
Underwood's procession ends at the "altar" (marked by a music stand) to join her groom, Capt. von Trapp, played by jeans-and-sweater-sporting Stephen Moyer.
During this preliminary run-through a few weeks ago, much work clearly remained to get "The Sound of Music Live!" ready for airtime on Dec. 5 at 7 p.m., when it, along with everyone involved, will make history: More than a half-century has passed since a broadcast network has dared to mount a full-scale musical for live TV.
It would have been risky enough revisiting this Rodgers and Hammerstein classic on any terms. But this is no remake of the not-to-be-tampered-with Julie Andrews juggernaut, declares Neil Meron. Meron and longtime partner Craig Zadan are the telecast's Oscar-winning executive producers.
Instead, "The Sound of Music Live!" is the 1959 Broadway musical reimagined for TV, then given extra crackle with a live presentation.
Meron's message: Everybody knows "The Sound of Music," or thinks they do from the 1965 film nearly everyone has seen. But relatively few fans are acquainted with the stage original. Drawing from it, "The Sound of Music Live!" is meant to feel familiar, yet at the same time come across as new and different.
Consider: Moyer with castmates Laura Benanti (as Baroness Elsa Schrader) and Christian Borle (as Max Detweiler) are rehearsing a couple of weeks later a saucy song titled "How Can Love Survive?" This song will be brand-new to most viewers of the telecast — it was dropped from the movie.
"Plenty of nothing you haven't got. How can love survive?" Max tunefully teases the wealthy Elsa, who, in her posh relationship with her fiance, Capt. von Trapp, can never count theirs among "all the famous love affairs (where) lovers starve and snuggle."
This number, sung to an instrumental track recorded by a 40-piece orchestra, takes place on the sumptuous von Trapp terrace, complete with a fountain and a panoramic view of the Alps.
There are still no costumes — at the moment, Borle is wearing jeans and a Batman T-shirt — but by now the entire production has redeployed to a cavernous Long Island, N.Y., soundstage.
Grumman Studios' Stage 3, with square footage rivaling a football field's, is now home to the terrace, along with five neighboring sets evoking pre-World War II Austria including the abbey, a festival site draped with huge swastikas and the summit over which (spoiler alert) Maria, the Captain and his seven children pass to flee the Nazis at the musical's conclusion.
It is for this soaring finish that Audra McDonald reprises "Climb Ev'ry Mountain," the breathtaking anthem that Mother Abbess introduces as she sends Maria into the world and into the von Trapp household.
"In that scene, Mother Abbess is giving Maria tough love, kicking her out of the abbey," says McDonald. "But Carrie is so moving and so sweet, my challenge is to not cry when I sing it."
When she sings it, McDonald is fully capable of bringing to tears everyone within earshot. She is a classically trained soprano, a Tony- and Grammy-winning singer and stage actress who, for good measure, appeared for four seasons on ABC's "Private Practice."
Though best known as a vampire on HBO's "True Blood," Stephen Moyer, too, is a theater veteran. Last summer he returned to what he calls his first love, the musical stage, after 18 years' absence for a production of "Chicago" at the Hollywood Bowl. Then he reported for work on "The Sound of Music Live!"
Christian Borle, known to viewers from NBC's musical drama "Smash," boasts Broadway credits including "Legally Blonde: The Musical" and "Monty Python's Spamalot," and won a Tony for the comedy "Peter and the Starcatcher."
Laura Benanti, who starred last season on NBC's Matthew Perry comedy "Go On," has appeared in the Broadway musicals "Into the Woods" and "Nine," and scored a Tony for her role as Gypsy Rose Lee in the 2008 Broadway revival of "Gypsy."
And then there's Carrie Underwood. Despite her status as a multiplatinum country music superstar who rose to fame as the winner of "American Idol" in 2005, at first glance she might seem something of a wild card in the "Sound of Music" cast: She has never acted before.
"Carrie is one of the bravest artists we've ever worked with," says Meron, who notes that she arrived two weeks before the production's six-week rehearsal began with her lines fully memorized, to get a head start.
"Every day," she says during a break, "I feel like I discover new things and how to go places in acting that I didn't think I could go."
Even if she's a drama neophyte as she faces her "Sound of Music" trial by fire, Underwood, by one measure, is the cast's old hand: No one knows live TV, and its pressures, like she does.
"But this time, there's no chance of me being voted out," she laughs. "I'm here to stay."
Already, the cast has recorded a "Sound of Music Live!" album, due for release Dec. 3. A home-video edition of the broadcast goes on sale Dec. 17.
If graced with good ratings, this won't be the last such musical event staged live for TV, says Meron.
And in any case it ends a drought that had persisted, in effect, since the birth of video tape made live TV unnecessary and, apart from news and sportscasts, nearly extinct. Helping close out that live-TV era: "Cinderella," performed and aired by CBS on March 31, 1957, and starring 21-year-old Julie Andrews.
A made-for-TV musical by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, "Cinderella" was one of many collaborations by these Broadway titans that began with their pioneering 1943 musical "Oklahoma!" and continued through "The Sound of Music" 16 years later, with Mary Martin creating the role of Maria. It ran for more than 1,400 performances and won five Tonys, including a trophy for best musical.
"There's an inevitability to what they do," says Borle, when asked what continues to set Rodgers and Hammerstein apart. "The material is so lovely, you just show up and try to do it justice."
That's what he and his co-stars plan to do the night of Dec. 5, for three hours start to finish, with no reshoots and no postproduction fixes to fall back on.
"There's an excitement about that," Benanti says. "It feels dangerous. Anything could happen!
"Even if you're only curious," she adds invitingly, "you should watch."

And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. And they sang a new song, saying, "Worthy are you to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation, and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth." Then I looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many angels, numbering myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!" ...

And it will come about in that day, that every place where there used to be a thousand vines, valued at a thousand shekels of silver, will become briars and thorns. People will come there with bows and arrows because all the land will be briars and thorns.

See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is.

Paul knew that the outward man or woman was perishing, day by day, and as he said "was wasting away" but the most important work was being done inwardly by the Spirit of God and this was the renewal that each believer in Christ is undergoing, day by day. God's Spirit works to convict us of sin, He works to make us more like Christ, and our sanctification is a lifelong process and even though we might be falling apart outwardly, what is eternal is what is inside and that's the only thing that counts. We are new creations in Christ (2 Cor 5:17) even though the outward appearance is decaying, so that's why Paul didn't want us to lose heart. Bible Christian Image

Genesis 1:26-27 "Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them." Goodnews Art
There are literally millions of ways artists can depict God's glory. Their creativity and the skill that God has placed in their hearts and hands will guide them to create art that will help us transcend the ugliness and pollution of this world. Artists, musicians, authors, and all who have this common mission are a special and valuable part of God's kingdom. Bible Art
God has made us exactly the way that it pleased Him and we all must remember that God has chosen the weak and the base of the world (1 Cor 1:27) and what the world considers despised and lowly (1 Cor 1:28) is important to God and that's all that matters, isn't it? He looks at the inward parts of the human heart, not the outward appearance, so don't worry about what the body looks like, be concerned with the things that God sees because in the end, that's all that's important and that's all that really matters. What others think is nothing…what God knows is everything. Christian Art Print
Jesus knew the heart and since He is God, He knows the thoughts and motives of every human heart for He is also the Creator. God looked at the religious leaders and knew that they were hypocrites because they taught one thing but did another as Jesus said "on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness" (Matt 23:28). They liked to be seen and wanted others to think highly of them but Jesus knew that inwardly they were as dead as could be and were full of all sorts of evil and uncleanliness. It is never what others think about us that's important; it is only what God knows about us that counts. We might be able to fool others but we can never fool God because "Lord, you know everyone's heart" (Acts 1:24) "for the LORD is a God who knows, and by him deeds are weighed" (1 Sam 2:3). Bible Christian Image
Answer: The first mention of art in the Bible is in Exodus 31. God is instructing Moses to create a tent for the ark of the covenant, and God mentions several artisans whom He has chosen to create "artistic designs" to beautify the tent. God says, "In the hearts of all who are skillful I have put skill." We learn two things about God's view of art in this passage: He likes it, and He is the source of it. He wants man to create beautiful things, and their skill in doing so is from Him. Bible Art

When Samuel was seeking who would be the king of Israel, He had all of Jesse's sons pass before him and time after time, Samuel thought that surely one of these young men would be the next king. Some were tall and muscular but that was not God's standard. Jesse didn't call David who was what we might call the "runt of the litter" but God said that He looks not on the outward appearance but what is inside. He doesn't have regard for what a person's looks are like but He looks at the heart because the most important attributes of a person are never what we see but the things we don't see and what we cannot see, God can.

Yet another strange-ass news mag we've never heard of out of Deutschland (but with a very Automotive News-like website) is reporting that the not-so-equal side of the merger-of-equals is playing games with private equity. They believe Magna International may be the only bidder the German-American hybrid's interested in selling the 'merican side off to. It's their belief the folks at Cerberus (now with Super Wolfgang Bernhard Potential!) and Blackstone may be nothing more than window dressing for the real talks with the Canadian auto supplier.

There are US Soccer fans...then there are the American Outlaws.
If you've tuned into a match or two you might have seen them. The scarves, the bandanas, the banners -- the American Outlaws are a unified, dedicated group of supporters for the US National Soccer Team that spans the nation.
Started in Lincoln, Neb., in 2007, founders looked for more consistency in the support of the US National Soccer Team. There are now 89 chapters across the country with almost 10,000 members nationally, including an official chapter in Hartford.
Established in 2010, the Hartford chapter is now up to over 100 members. Hosting match viewing parties at City Steam or Damon's Tavern, the Hartford American Outlaws offer dining and drink specials for their members to bring as many fans as they can to support the team locally.
So what does it mean to have the US National Soccer Team playing in their back yard?
"It's an honor for us," Outlaws member Tom Lovkay said before their prematch party at City Steam Monday night.
"We feel like we always get left out in the conversation to host big games, but we finally got 'em here, we're very excited."
"It's the thing that as a chapter you look forward to, because the spotlight is on you for that game," member Dorian Tanasi added.
Notorious for being the most decorated, enthusiastic US Soccer fans around, when the spotlight is on you as an American Outlaws chapter, you pull out all the stops.
The Connecticut Outlaws hosted a Gold Cup Night Before Party at City Steam Brewery on Main Street Monday night as a kick start to the excitment. The event featured drink specials and food that was not only a deal, but also decorated appropriately with small American flags.
As for game day, the tailgate begins at 2:30 p.m., when the gates of Rentschler Field open, with food and water by the East Gate. Then, the group--while chanting--is marched by security into the game at 7 p.m.
That's when the serious fun begins.
"We have a few surprises for the entire crowd we will be unveiling at the beginning of the game," Lovkay said.
Leading chants, rocking their uniform bandanas and keeping the crowd alive, the American Outlaws won't be missed inside Rentschler Field during Tuesday's Gold Cup match as US faces Costa Rica at 8 p.m.
The first game of the Gold Cup doubleheader will feature Belize vs. Cuba, followed by United States vs. Costa Rica. Parking lots open at 2:30 p.m. Stadium gates open at 4:30 p.m.

Morris News Service
ATLANTA - A coalition of Georgia business and labor organizations called Wednesday for immediate federal immigration reform, citing a new poll they say shows a majority of the voters surveyed agree.
However, the same survey also showed that just 5 percent of those questioned listed immigration reform as the most important issue facing the country.
"You cannot dismiss the economic data because it is clear; it is compelling; it is real, and it is conservative," said ex-Sen. Sam Zamarippa, D-Atlanta, the founder of The Essential Economy Council.
The majority of cooks and dishwashers are immigrants, according to Karen Bremer, executive director of the Restaurant Association, who said U.S.-born workers either don't apply for those jobs or won't keep them long.
And the high incidence of identity theft makes it difficult for employers to verify citizenship of people who do apply.
"The problem: there is virtually no legal way for less-skilled foreigners without family in the U.S. to enter the country and work in year-round jobs, virtually no temporary or permanent work visas, except for seasonal jobs," she said.
The coalition supports granting more visas to high-skilled and low-skilled immigrants, tougher border security and a way for undocumented aliens to become U.S. citizens.
Since one in four high-tech startups – such as Google and eBay – has a recent immigrant among its founders, immigration reform should strengthen the economy, according to Tino Mantella, the president of the Technology Association of Georgia.
"If there's an argument that immigrants take American jobs, I think the reverse is true," he said.
The coalition released a survey showing two out of three likely voters questioned agreed with a 65-word statement of the group's stance.
Thirty percent expressed some level of opposition and 8 percent weren't sure.
"Would you support or oppose an immigration reform plan that secures our borders, expands visas for high-skill workers and farm workers, provides an employer verification program, allows young persons brought to the U.S. illegally by their parents an opportunity to earn citizenship, and provides visas to live and work here legally to undocumented immigrants without a criminal record who pay penalties and back taxes?"
But pollster Matt Towery, the president of InsiderAdvantage, cautions not to put too much stock into the responses.
"This type of broad language is sort of like a net designed to catch all fish. The problem is that voters don't make such mental gymnastics in determining how they feel about an issue," he said. "I think a more straightforward question might yield less favorable results, although I will say that in past surveys Georgians have been a bit more open to immigration reform than many might suspect."
Phil Kent, a member of the Georgia Immigration Enforcement Review Board, dismissed the poll results completely.
"This is one of the most convoluted polling questions I've seen in a while," he said. "...They're trying to shoehorn support for amnesty by clever wording of this question."
Meanwhile, the candidates for the U.S. Senate didn't let the poll change their position. Republicans David Perdue and Jack Kingston say the flow of undocumented immigrants must be stopped before there is any consideration of relaxing the rules.
"Enforce the law. Secure the border. No amnesty," Perdue spokesman Derrick Dickey said.
Libertarian nominee Amanda Swafford also blames Obama but holds a slightly different view on how to solve the bigger issue of immigration.
"In concert with stripping all entitlement-based incentives to current illegal immigration, I would subsequently remove incentives that prop up and support the exploitation of the 'Coyote' industry," she said.
However, Democratic nominee Michelle Nunn does favor allowing law-abiding immigrants to become citizens.
"We need comprehensive immigration reform that secures our borders and provides an accountable pathway to citizenship that requires those currently living here go to the back of the line, pass a background check, learn English and pay back taxes," she said. "Fixing our broken immigration will both create jobs and cut our deficit."

MeMeMe is having a bit of a revival of late and I am really like the range ever since it's packaging and make up restyle.
Check out this super cute set called Little Angels! Don't be deceived by the name – they may be called Little Angels but you actually get four full size products in the gift pack for £15 (works out at £3.75 each).
You get the Pussy Cat cheek and lip tint, Poppy Tint, Moon beam and Sun beam highlighter. Yes, they do look a lot like Benefit's Benetint, Poppy Tint, High Beam and Moon Beam. Do they work as well?I'd say they really are not very far off. I have been falling in love Benetint all over again, but it's not particularly cheap so if you are on a budget then these are great alternatives (you could get this entire set for the price of one Benefit tint!).
The bottles:
The product:
Poppy tint is a sheer soft pink – like the Benefit one the result is super super natural and sheer. Pussy Cat is very similar to Benetint and is a red tone which stains easily to be quick! It works well on the cheeks or lips.
Moon beam is a silvery white highlighter and sun beam is a gold toned one. Both are useful in their own way! Here is a review of the products in their old packaging.
I wiped the product off and here is how it keeps on the skin – Pussy Cat really does leave a stain:
These usually cost around £5.25 each.
This set costs £15.00 and you can view it here.

Haha, I played it the other day. I don't care what you say, Blood Gulch CTF does not get old. Ever.
I know I`m posting nearly a year after the last message but I just had to post my agreement with Frosts statement.
I played Halo PC online pretty much solidly for 2 years and I rekon a good 70% of that time was spent playing ctf on the Gulch My clan used to set our server to 1 hour time limit on CTF with no limit on captures. I used to rack up 150+ kills quite regularly.

Halo PC makes me wonder what would have happened if the XBL Marketplace version of Halo CE had been granted online multiplayer. sigh.....
Yes. It's somewhat funny that people are still debating that if you download HALO CE on XBL it will allow for online mulitiplayer. I heard it yesterday 3 times in a game lobby. Somewhere in the back of these ones minds they still fantasize about being able to do it even after being told that "It's not possible." Gotta laugh.

I'm just a little concerned the owner would have already entered their pc key in b.net, so I'd rather buy new. I'm trying to get the Halo 1 nameplate in Reach (that and I miss some of the crazy mods for singleplayer like some of BOLL's stuff from the old days - pistol shooting tank rounds, AR shooting sniper rounds, shotgun shooting plasma grenades, etc.).
eBay is your friend. Plenty of copies on there of each and cheap too. New or owned.
(no shit)
Posted 31 August 2010 - 05:26 AM
Amazon is your friend.
How much is Halo PC nowadays? Is there any place I can buy it new, or is it out of print and can only be bought used? I've also been looking to buy Halo 2 PC but I can't find it anywhere new either.
I've been looking to buy it for a while now and since Bungie has a new use for the PC Keys and I just got a new laptop for my birthday, I figure its about time to spring for a copy. Plus, the Halo 2 achievements should be easy and is attractive to an achievement whore like myself

Crazy that the game is still getting mods, and super extensive ones like this, at that.

Enemies and weapons from the lesser Halos? Do not fucking want.

This part identifies the audit requirements for recipients and subrecipients of Department of Labor (DOL) awards and contains DOL's procedures for the resolution of audits. It applies to all grants and contracts and other Federal awards provided by or on behalf of the DOL.
As used in this part, the terms "Federal award," "Federal financial assistance," "recipient," and "subrecipient" have the same meanings as the definitions in 29 CFR 99.105 of this title.
The regulations in this subpart and in 29 CFR part 99 implement Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-133, "Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations," which was issued pursuant to The Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996 (Act). The Act builds upon earlier efforts to improve audits of Federal financial assistance programs. This subpart establishes uniform audit requirements and policy for recipients and subrecipients that receive Federal financial assistance from DOL.
(a) Organizations covered by this subpart are responsible for arranging for independent audits that meet the requirements of this section.
(b) The audit requirements contained in 29 CFR part 99 shall be followed for audits of all fiscal years beginning after June 30, 1996.
(c) Except as provided in paragraph (d) of this section, the audit requirements applicable to earlier fiscal years under regulations and award conditions in force when the awards were made shall continue in force.
(d) The Secretary or his/her designee may provide written notice to recipients/subrecipients subject to paragraph (c) of this section directing them to follow the requirements of 29 CFR 99.320, which provides for submission of audit data collection forms and reporting packages to a Federal clearinghouse designated by OMB.
This subpart prescribes the requirement for audits of recipients, subrecipients, contractors, and subcontractors that receive funds from the DOL and are not covered by subpart A.
The Secretary of Labor is responsible for the survey, audit or examination of recipients, subrecipients, contractors, and subcontractors covered by this subpart. Such surveys, audits, or examinations shall be conducted at the Secretary's discretion.
The Secretary of Labor, the DOL Inspector General, the Comptroller General of the United States, or any of their duly authorized representatives (including certified public accountants under contract), shall have access to any books, documents, papers, and records (manual and automated) of the entity receiving funds from DOL and its subrecipients/subcontractors for the purpose of making surveys, audits, examinations, excerpts, and transcripts.
Surveys, audits, and examinations will conform to the Government auditing standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, and guides issued by the Secretary. For purposes of meeting audit requirements under subparts A and C, only the standards for financial and compliance audits need apply.
To the extent that audits conducted in accordance with subpart A provide DOL officials with the information needed to carry out their responsibilities under Federal law or DOL regulations, the Secretary shall rely upon and use the information. Additional audit efforts are not precluded, but such efforts must build upon the organization-wide audit and not duplicate it. The provisions of subpart A do not authorize a covered entity, after having complied with those requirements, to constrain, in any manner, the Secretary from carrying out additional surveys, audits, or examinations as deemed necessary.
This subpart prescribes standards for resolution of audit findings, including, but not limited to, questioned costs and administrative deficiencies, identified as a result of the audit of grant agreements, contracts, and other agreements awarded by or on behalf of DOL. In cases where these standards conflict with statutes or other DOL regulations, the latter shall be controlling. The DOL Office of Inspector General (OIG) is available to assist agencies in the audit resolution process.
The DOL official(s) responsible for audit resolution shall promptly evaluate findings and recommendations reported by auditors and the corrective action plan developed by the recipient to determine proper actions in response to audit findings and recommendations. The process of audit resolution includes at a minimum an initial determination, an informal resolution period, and a final determination.
(1) As appropriate, indicate that efforts to informally resolve matters contained in the initial determination have either been successful or unsuccessful;
(2) Lists those matters upon which the parties continue to disagree;
(3) Lists any modifications to the factual findings and conclusions set forth in the initial determination;
(4) Lists any sanctions and required corrective actions; and
(5) Sets forth any appeal rights.
Recipients of Federal assistance from DOL are responsible for ensuring that subrecipient organizations who expend $300,000 or more in a fiscal year or $500,000 for fiscal years ending after December 31, 2003 are audited and that any audit findings are resolved in accordance with this part. The recipient shall:
(a) Determine whether appropriate audit requirements outlined in subpart A have been met;
(b) Determine whether the subrecipient spent Federal assistance funds provided in accordance with applicable laws and regulations;
(c) Ensure that appropriate corrective action is taken within six months after receipt of the audit report in instances of non-compliance with Federal law and regulations;
(d) Consider whether subrecipient audits necessitate adjustment of the recipient's own records; and
(e) Require that each subrecipient permit independent auditors to have access to the records and financial statements necessary to comply with this part.
(a) The purpose of this subpart is to set forth procedures by which recipients and contractors may appeal final determinations by the DOL officials responsible for audit resolution as a result of audits.
(b) Subrecipients and subcontractors shall have only such appeal rights as may exist in subgrants or subcontracts with the respective recipients or contractors.
(a) For the purpose of this subpart, the term "contract" includes all agreements described in sec. 602(a) of the Contract Disputes Act (Applicability of Law—Executive agency contracts) (41 U.S.C. 602(a)).
(b) Upon a contractor's receipt of the DOL contracting officer's final determination as a result of an audit, the contractor may appeal the final determination to the DOL Board of Contract Appeals, pursuant to 41 CFR part 29-60 and 48 CFR part 2933 or pursue such other remedies as may be available under the Contract Disputes Act.
The DOL grantor agencies shall determine which of the two appeal options set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section the recipient may use to appeal the final determination of the grant officer. All awards within the same Federal financial assistance program shall follow the same appeal procedure.
(a) Appeal to the head of the grantor agency, or his/her designee, for which the audit was conducted.

Overcoming the Palestinian House of Negroe with 'Mens et Manus' – A Postscript
Zahir Ebrahim | Project Humanbeingsfirst.org
Sunday April 11, 2010 | Revised April 14, 2010
My earlier response to the exposé of poor socio-economic development and 12 billion dollars missing in Palestine as reported by Dr. Ghania Malhis – the chairwoman of the board of trustees at the Palestinian Economic Policy Research Institute in Ramallah – in a UN Seminar on Assistance to the Palestinian People, held in Vienna on March 25, 2010, did not delve into the topic of organizations funded by hectoring hegemons to play controlled opposition as a Hegelian Dialectic. In this postscript to my followup Open Letter to Palestinian Intellectual which brought up the general issue of accountability and breaking the bonds of colonial servitude, that omission is rectified.
Before we begin, the bland conclusions conveyed by Dr. Malhis on the topic of "International Assistance in Support of the Palestinian Economy" in her paper titled "The Role of Regional Partners" which echoed empire's own axiom in its byline: "Building institutions and moving forward with establishing the State of Palestine", is worth restating (PDF cached here, page 4):
'The initial analysis has led to two conflicting conclusions.
The first conclusion: the International community and Arab countries have managed to mobilize substantial resources to assist the Palestinian people amounting to no less than 12 billion dollars over the past 15 years.
An additional 6 to 8 billion dollars were also mobilized during that same period through an array of active Arab and international civil society organizations and NGOs.
These numbers are of course highly encouraging when taking into consideration the size of the targeted part of the Palestinian people which do not exceed 3.9 million people in the occupied Palestinian territories and their GDP does not exceed 4.5 billion dollars annually according to the 2009 estimates.
The second conclusion: it has been almost impossible to trace any positive impact of these mobilized resources on the ground, even when taking into consideration the substantial investment carried by the Palestinian private sector in the occupied Palestinian territories, including those made by the Palestinian Diaspora as according to findings, these investment represent one third of the national GDP.
There has been of course a progress in the establishment of Palestinian Authority institutions, along with security, fiscal and administrative reform efforts, but these tens of billions of dollars spent in the past decade have ultimately failed to bring back the performance witnessed in 1999 on the socio-economic front.'
One does not a priori know who really funds the different organizations usually seen boldly playing controlled opposition to any status quo, be it in Palestine, or Iran, Pakistan, and across all the 'orange and green revolutions' throughout the "global zone of percolating violence", whereby, "birth pangs" are rape-ingly induced by creating "revolutionary times" under the banner of bringing 'democracy'. One sees it plainly in Iraq and Pakistan for instance, without needing any additional commentary.
The masses in our region, as in the West, are easily duped into playing the election con-game. To elect by their own choice of vote, the hectoring hegemons' oligarchic selection, manufactured to suitable electability by the foundations and think-tanks along the Potomac, and presented to the public by co-opted political parties and special-interest groups. We see this trivially of President Obama being chosen by the electorate, but effectively carrying out exactly the 'Bush doctrine' polices. We see this trivially in Pakistan with President Zardari, the most well-known corrupt man in Pakistan, being chosen by the electorate, but carrying out exactly the 'Mush doctrine' policies which is entirely an appendage of the 'Bush doctrine' in place in Pakistan since 911. It is empirically obvious that 'democracy' is part of the 'panem et circenses' – 'bread and circuses'. Why should it be any different in Palestine – a militarily occupied territory?
As already discussed in the afore-cited analyses, the 12 billion dollars which disappeared in Palestine is largely to be seen as the hectoring hegemons' own calculated con-game, including that of payoffs for services rendered to the corrupt establishment which they have themselves installed, and who therefore entirely dance to their masa's tunes. Let's now briefly look into the 'pro democracy' controlled opposition to the same corrupt establishment.
Both the establishment and its opposition are often hand-crafted by the same hectoring hegemons for controlling client-states through proxies in what has become the modern architecture of neo-colonialism. This is a Hegelian Dialectic as old as empire. It serves the purpose of keeping well-intentioned people effectively running on a treadmill, often between twiddledee and twiddledum. The faster people run to escape it, more quickly they exhaust themselves getting nowhere – the wondrous self-sustaining power of Machiavelli!
A controlled opposition is very easy to identify. In fact, so easy to identify that the fact that they credibly remain before the mainstream public's eye without such a precise outing can only be attributed to the immense power of the Mighty Wurlitzer. It can convince people of the most ridiculous absurdities and get them acquiescing to the most horrendous atrocities – the enduring power of Machiavellian Political Science.
So how does one identify Machiavellianly seeded controlled opposition?
For one thing, it shares common core-axioms with the hectoring hegemons, and always either echoes them outright (when manufacturing consent), or remains silent on them (when playing dissent).
Put that concise principle to test yourself. More about this may be gleaned in the report 'Manufacturing Dissent – The Master Social Science' which contains several case studies of manufactured dissent.
Foreign funding of controlled dissent through front-organizations and through intangible benefits such as junkets and invitations is a big business of hegemony. Especially the funding of 'pro democracy' NGOs, and various other civil society institutions often seen pitching 'secular humanism', all of which ostensibly oppose the establishment's status-quo: be it a military dictatorship in power ; be it some other tyranny in power by any other name such as an elected 'democracy' effectively running a police-state ; be it an ideology to be synthetically opposed as a Hegelian Dialectic, such as 'militant Islam' ; or be it the mere introduction of "beneficial cognitive diversity" to keep people confused chasing red herrings, while the real show in a different part of town inches irreversibly towards fait accompli.
Anyone who has spent any time studying political science, or perhaps studied it at the University of Chicago (or any number of other elite institutions from MIT to Harvard), would trivially recognize these principles being practiced in modern statecraft, as even Dr. Francis Boyle recently vouched.
Controlling the opposition enables controlling all discourse in society. By straight-jacketing all national dialog into a box, and then permitting vigorous debate within that box, including exposés and corruption scandal outings, helps provide all the right illusions pertinent to maintaining society in a matrix of synthetic reality, a combination of truths, half-truths, and outright lies. All made experiential and hence as empirical as Alice felt in Wonderland.
But more pertinent to the topic here, controlling the opposition in developing nations is also used to effectively destabilize an existing status quo to keep the establishment in perpetual check ; or to replace it with a new face to give people the 'change' they demand ; or to affect 'regime change' as is being diabolically instrumented in Iran with the new 'green revolution' (see pages 27 to 29 in the referenced PDF below).
All the CIA backed coups since the CIA's inception were mostly brought about by such subversive controlled opposition from within. That's of course not news, as even a semi-moron can witness from Iran in 1953 to Venezuela in 2002. Therefore, denying the presence of fifth columnists who are routinely cultivated as dupes, patsies, and mercenaries to continually undermine nations is a necessity of psyops, especially when the subversion is on-going and continuous. Only of course to be blithely revealed ex post facto, after a major coup d'état or exposé, when the wise fuddy-duddies who denied its existence as outrageous 'conspiracy theory' at the time, write books upon books exposing it. Again, controlled opposition, controlled morality, controlled memory, and controlled bullshit of the intellectual. As mainly a historical footnote, it is perhaps worth mentioning that it was glibly admitted in his 1996 memoirs, Profiles of Intelligence, by a former Director of Pakistan's ISI, of how such a controlled opposition was fomented with suitcases full of American dollars to send the rather intransigent elected Pakistani prime minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto to the gallows, replacing him with a more pliable military-uniform which provided the Carter-Brzezinski White House the "opportunity of giving to the USSR its Vietnam war" from Pakistan (read the pertinent excerpt here).
An anonymous website just a few days ago did such an excellent compilation of references on this very topic that I refer the reader to study pages 2 to 9 of its archived PDF, if interested in acutely understanding who funds controlled opposition via NGOs and the many shades of 'pro democracy' sentinels instituted in our developing nations. Thanks to the anonymous person who compiled this section: '2. Everything You Always Didn't Want To Know About NGOs/USAID But Here It Is Anyways'.
What does that have to do with this 12 Billion missing exposé in Palestine? Everything.
Palestine is on this 'Alice in Wonderland' planet, not on Mars. Therefore, it is also subjected to the same demonic forces of Machiavelli as every other nation. Why should it get a free ride?
In fact, Palestine is even more targeted with the full spectrum power of Machiavellian statecraft as its land is being forcibly colonized by the same hectoring hegemons even as we speak! The absence of any unraveling of Machiavelli to any depth in Palestine is itself very telling.
Therefore, reading about this news of partial-truth presented at the UN by Dr. Malhis, one would like to understand who really funds the organization of which Dr. Malhis is a apart. Who paid for her journey to Vienna unless of course it came from her personal funds, who facilitated her passport and travel, egress and ingress (contrast with the treatment meted to the young photojournalist from the Raffah refugee camp, Mohammed Omer, and who has difficulty even getting a visa), and who set her up to play the controlled opposition to Palestinian leadership such that she not only echoed empire's core-axioms, mantras, and platitudes, but also remained silent on what needed to be said. Why did the UN Seminar invite her to speak to socio-economics, but not permit her to speak to the truth of Zionist quest for Lebensraum in Eretz Yisrael. It is as incomprehensible that Dr. Malhis would be unfamiliar with Zionism as Dr. Mustafa Barghouti when the latter had spewed platitudes and omissions on American television.
Perhaps the same question of ease of access could be asked of the veteran journalist, who despite living in difficult circumstances in exile, is permitted to freely roam around Europe and America (as depicted on her own website and in the excellent collections of photographs), attend high profile parleys, and bring us the news almost verbatim, perhaps as is intended by powers that be who permit her such luxuries. Kawther Salam who reported the speech of Dr. Malhis, is one courageous journalist, no doubt about it. But one wonders about being made a patsy!
Here is a straightforward test of reality-check outside of Alice in Wonderland for any public person who rubs elbows at the UN. Next time publicly state at a UN Seminar the unstated empirical observations begging for a world audience: 911 appears to have been an inside job for Zbigniew Brzezinski's and PNAC's pre-planned pre-advertised "imperial mobilization" ; the House of Rockefeller runs the UN and funds the CFR and the Trilateral Commission along with a hundred other tax-exempt foundations which ab initio created the policies of "imperial mobilization" as a diabolical "end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece" including that of the United States of America itself – minimally a treason and conspiracy to commit treason ; the House of Rothschild is the real power behind Israel, as well as the interlocking power behind all the world's private central banks, including the Rockefeller fortunes and therefore, also controls American foreign policy via the Rockefeller funded foundations just as much as it controls the EU Parliament and the UK ; that One-world government, i.e., scientific totalitarian dictatorship through Global Governance, is their one common purpose which runs directly through Zion and therefore, nothing can be done of the Palestinian question unless these godfathers of war and hegemony, living in palaces and protected by the fiat of legalism and state-power, are neutered first!
Let's see who is invited to the UN, never mind permitted to board a flight afterwards to leave for home, other than on a rendition flight! Some FEMA hospitality camp just might be their holiday destination next!
That being the unvarnished fact of the matter for anyone who might care to spend some time in a public library rather then jet-setting across continents and glamorously hob-nobbing with the who's who at the UN, one knows that one is only Looking Through the Glass at the absurdly deep rabbit hole of Alice in Wonderland.
It is already patently apparent that just as in Pakistan, almost all of Palestinian institutions, its militant organizations, its political leadership, its NGOs, its civil society, its secular humanists, its religious organizations, and even its official resistance to occupation, play some convoluted role in this thespian production of Alice in Wonderland on the world's stage. Some play the part knowingly as outright mercenaries, and some play it unknowingly as dupes and/or co-opted patsies, often as the proverbial sidekicks and foils necessary for effective story-telling by the main characters in a long-running soap-operatic production.
I use the word 'almost' above reservedly because it is referring to Palestinian officialdom and its publicly recognized entities including its opposition – for only those are permitted to exist and mainly flourish by the fiat of hegemony. The only genuine resistance in Palestine that I see (as also in the Diaspora to some extent), is in the tenacity of its ordinary peoples whereby "the old [refuse to] die and the young [refuse to] forget."
The Palestinian people at ground zero obviously remain the principal core-obstacle for Israel in its aspirations for Zionistan – not the institutions of PLO, not Hamas, not Hezbollah (nor Iran, nor Syria, nor the so called Arab World, nor the American people, and certainly not the Palestinians already evicted from ground zero). This is simply a statement of empirical fact.
Therefore, it is primarily the ordinary Palestinian masses on ground zero who have to be vicariously fooled and cajoled with successive 'hegelian mind fcks', kept on a treadmill in their active resistance, and ultimately brought to their knees from sheer exhaustion, euthanized, assassinated, eradicated, evicted, or forced to leave on their own. Let's not forget that the one inviolable principal modus operandi in the conquest of Zionistan throughout the past 100 years of systematic Palestinian dispossession from Palestine and concomitant Jewish injection into Eretz Yisrael, is entirely captured in this one pithy David Ben Gurion's statement: "We must do everything to insure they (the Palestinians) never do return … The old will die and the young will forget."
And were Ben Gurion alive today, he might have just continued, reinforcing the tortuous reality on the ground: So socio-economic develop all you want in Palestine – we are right behind you to bomb it right back to smithereens to ensure that you will eventually throw-in the towel and never do return!
The crucial tool to create that very principled outcome among the Palestinian masses – apart from imperial blazing guns and the occasional butter – has always been Machiavelli! And its main 'errand boys', as always, have been inducted from among the ranks of the Palestinians themselves – principally from among its elite.
These are the naturally occurring House Negroes of many nuanced shades automatically springing up like weeds among any 'untermenschen' when the white man rules the roost. And every House Negro of course also always has some personal story to tell, of being oppressed, of being dispossessed, of having buried their dead, of their old house keys still dangling on their master key-chain.
Unless these tormented but mentally colonized fifth columnists are evicted from their perches – the mercenaries and traitors among them of course juridically administered, and the rest simply dispatched to the oblivion of a non-public life – and replaced by a younger generation of courageous field Negroes who are unburdened by trauma, and savvy to the statecraft of their oppressors, there is likely to be no Palestine for Palestinians.
That unraveling of the Palestinian House of Negroe, as painful as it is, must be done before any struggle can succeed. And as in Pakistan, it will of course entirely be ignored by the Palestinians themselves. When the dominant discourse is controlled by the House Negroes and fully supported by the hectoring hegemons, one can hardly expect them to indict themselves, never mind reform themselves. Thus it is not just coincidental that both peoples not only suffer a common enemy, and a common fate, but most important to averting that fate, a common malaise!
Before attempting to counter the overwhelming superiority of the hectoring hegemons and being effective in it, both peoples must come to uncomfortable grips with their own House of Negroe. It could be one's father, mother, brother, sister, a respected elder. That is indeed the enduring power of Machiavellian conquest which helps it sustain itself. No nation can be free until its people make it free. But who wishes to go against one's own loved ones peaceably? Thus is created civil wars and more "revolutionary times" in order to throw out the old. And with Machiavelli diabolically perched right there to harness that too!
Which is why, nation-building, as much as nation-reclaiming from tyranny, is a vigorous battle of both 'mens et manus' – mind and hand – synergistically working together to watchfully thwart the old while creatively engineering the new. And that's just the way it is!

Next Episode of Doug is
not planed. TV Show was canceled.
Doug originated from the unpublished book by Jim Jinkins and Joe Aaron titled Doug's Got a New Pair of Shoes.
Nickelodeon's Doug
Nick's Doug was a series about humble 12 year old Doug Funnie, who has a wild imagination. He's usually writing in his journal about his day and even narrates the story for us. He has a dog, named Porkchop, who can walk on his hind legs, and is extremely smart. Doug also has a best friend named Masquito "Skeeter" Valentine, who's a noise-making, genius (though you wouldn't notice if you met him). Doug's crush is a girl named Patti Mayonaise, who is a country, down-to-earth type of girl. He is regularly picked on by Roger Klotz, who usually picks on everyone. Judy is Doug's very odd sister. She's into musicals, Shakespeare, and art. Doug regularly draws a comic book about a character named Quailman, who is based off of Doug. Quailman is usually drawn to aid Doug in solving problems in his life that are too tough for him to handle. Some of the villains Quailman encounter inlude Dr. Klotzoid, Klotzenstein, etc. (most are based off of Roger Klotz).
Brand Spanking New! Doug / Disney's Doug
In Brand Spanking New! Doug (called Disney's Doug for syndication), things have changed quite a bit, starting with character styles. But that's not it. Doug is 13 and attendes Beebe Bluff Middle School who was named after his spoiled rich friend Beebe. Roger is still a bully, though very rich now, Tippi Dink, My. Dink's wife is now Mayor, leaving Mayor White as the school Principal. Doug's other friend Connie has went from chubby to thin, The Beets, Doug's favorite band of all-time has broken up, and Doug gets a baby sister named Cleopatra "Dirtbike" Funnie. There's more changes though. At least Doug and Skeeter are still best friends, Patti is still the object of Doug's desire, Quailman is still Doug's favorite hero even getting his own episodes, and the plots are similar to Nickelodeon's.
After the whole show ended, a feature movie called Doug's Ist Movie, was released in 1999. The movie was about Doug and Skeeter finding the monster of Lucky Duck Lake, and wanting to exploit it, but knowing it would be the wrong thing to do...(read more)
While no current plans for Doug returning to Nickelodeon or any of its affiliates have been scheduled, but a future DVD release is not out of the question states Viacom. If so it would most likely be part of the Nick Rewind Collection that has already released established cult favorite such as The Adventures of Pete & Pete and Clarissa Explains it All.

BLAINE, MN (WCCO/CNN) - A husband in Minnesota has been arrested after police say he admitted to killing his wife of 23 years in a call to 911.
Matthew Jansen, 46, is being held in jail on second-degree murder charges, but he has not been formally charged in the death of his 46-year-old wife Mary Jansen.
Police say just before 10 p.m. Friday, Matthew Jansen called 911 and told authorities he killed the woman he had been married to for 23 years and with whom he has two children.
Upon responding to the scene, officers found Mary Jansen dead inside the family home. Authorities took Matthew Jansen into custody without incident.
Tim Magnuson, who lived next door to the family for nearly 10 years, says this is a senseless tragedy.
"It's hard to process that depth of grief and the tragedy," Magnuson said. "It seems senseless and tragic on a lot of levels."
Magnuson says he will remember Mary Jansen as a devoted mother. He is praying for her two children.
"She was just a great mom, had a special friendship with her daughter especially and loved her kids," he said.
Mary Jansen's cause of death has not been determined. The medical examiner is due to conduct an autopsy.
The case remains under investigation.

About Generex Biotechnology Corporation
Generex is engaged in the research, development, and commercialization of drug delivery systems and technologies. Generex has developed a proprietary platform technology for the delivery of drugs into the human body through the oral cavity (with no deposit in the lungs). The Company's proprietary liquid formulations allow drugs typically administered by injection to be absorbed into the body by the lining of the inner mouth using the Company's proprietary RapidMist™ device. Antigen Express, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Generex. The core platform technologies of Antigen Express comprise immunotherapeutic vaccines for the treatment of malignant, infectious, allergic, and autoimmune diseases. Antigen Express has pioneered the use of specific CD4+ T-helper stimulation technologies in immunotherapy. One focuses on modification of peptides with Ii-Key to increase potency while a second relies on inhibition of expression of the Ii protein. Antigen Express scientists, and others, have shown clearly that suppression of expression of the Ii protein in cancer cells allows for potent stimulation of T-helper cells and prevents the further growth of cancer cells.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This release and oral statements made from time to time by Generex representatives in respect of the same subject matter may contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements can be identified by introductory words such as "expects," "plan," "believes," "will," "achieve," "anticipate," "would," "should," "subject to" or words of similar meaning, and by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements frequently are used in discussing potential product applications, potential collaborations, product development activities, clinical studies, regulatory submissions and approvals, and similar operating matters. Many factors may cause actual results to differ from forward-looking statements, including inaccurate assumptions and a broad variety of risks and uncertainties, some of which are known and others of which are not. Known risks and uncertainties include those identified from time to time in the reports filed by Generex with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which should be considered together with any forward-looking statement. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future results or events, and one should avoid placing undue reliance on such statements. Generex undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Generex cannot be sure when or if it will be permitted by regulatory agencies to undertake additional clinical trials or to commence any particular phase of clinical trials. Because of this, statements regarding the expected timing of clinical trials or ultimate regulatory approval cannot be regarded as actual predictions of when Generex will obtain regulatory approval for any "phase" of clinical trials or when it will obtain ultimate regulatory approval by a particular regulatory agency. Generex claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements that is contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act.
