Will Iran Pay a Price for Denying Holocaust?
By JOHN VINOCUR
Published: January 23, 2007
By the end of the week, if things go the way the United States has planned, the United Nations General Assembly will have approved an American-sponsored resolution condemning denial of the Holocaust.
The vote was expected to come in time to mark the commemoration of the entry of Soviet forces into the Auschwitz death camp on Jan. 27, 1945.
Iran, its conference of Holocaust negationists last month, its contest of Holocaust cartoons, its calls for the destruction of Israel, its drive for nuclear weapons, its more actively disturbing in Iraq - none are mentioned in the resolution.
Yet the linkage is there, an obvious although unwritten subtext, part of a verbally firmer U.S. approach toward Iran that Secretary of Defense Robert Gates told leaders from Saudi Arabia and Qatar last week was meant to demonstrate that "the Iranians are overplaying their hand."
If the Americans can put together the votes - a diplomat informed of the U.S. effort thinks they can finesse Arab difficulties in demarcating Israeli policy from the historical fact of the Holocaust - then the UN resolution would serve, in theory, as an incremental warning signal to Iranians on President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's leadership.
It would say, in effect, that the world was ready to consider him increasingly dangerous, and that Iran merited sanctions and even isolation as a country in the grips of disreputable radicals. This gets entered on the diplomatic ledger as effective pressure.
Theoretically effective, because world public opinion, as opposed to tougher sanctions, has no certain or easily measurable impact on Iranian internal politics.
In fact, you could ask: Apart from insisting that denial of the Holocaust is a universal abomination - coldly effective words from President Jacques Chirac of France on the subject last week called it "a crime against the truth, the absolute perversion of the soul and spirit" - what could the UN resolution accomplish in terms of Ahmadinejad's threat of nuclear-armed hatred?
Not very much. For Olivier Roy, the widely respected French expert on Iran, the reality is that Ahmadinejad's denial of the Holocaust doesn't play to Iran but a targeted audience beyond the shame of international reproach.
Roy believes that Iranian anti- Semitism is part of a broad political undertaking, profiting from the perceived weakness of the United States and Arab regimes, and aimed at Iran's securing a leading role in a "front of refusal" of Arab maximalists that rejects any place for Israel in the Middle East's future. Hezbollah and Hamas are obvious elements in that clientele.
For other analysts, Holocaust denial is a symbolic guarantee of compatibility offered the Arab nation by Ahmadinejad as Iran seeks regional hegemony.
Far from any clash of civilizations involving the West and Islam, Roy says Ahmadinejad's anti-Semitism functions as a remake of old, now- punishable European prejudices, and is "shared by a lot of secular Arab intellectuals."
In fact, Tehran's approach, according to two French historians of the Arab world, says that the West invented the genocide of the Jews with the goal of creating a state that would divide the Muslims.
Benjamin Stora and Pierre Vermeren, in an article in Le Monde, deplored that "the scientific reality of the Holocaust" was so threatening to Arab regimes, that Arab historians were denied the means to explore its reality.
Stora, in a conversation, said he had no illusions about a change in course that would challenge Ahmadinejad's position. "Rather than opening to a greater universality," he said, the Arab intellectual world was "increasingly confining itself in its own identity" and "not going to the sources or contemporary history."
So it's fair to ask, beyond the sense of having done the right and decent thing, what comes out of a UN condemnation of Holocaust denial that avoids language (or politicians' voices) expressly tying it to Iran's nuclear threat.
In France, in a presidential election year, there is the hope that even a minimalist resolution would combat the specter of Jean-Marie Le Pen, the rightist extremist candidate, winning a score big enough to influence the vote's outcome. In his most ogre-like years, Le Pen called the Nazi gas chambers a "detail of history."
Chirac returned to those black years last week to say that their lesson was that "if you accommodate extremism, sooner or later you pay the price. Only one attitude works in facing it down: refusal and intransigence."
In Germany, the Holocaust denial issue goes to the deepest vein of self- respect in the national psyche. In announcing that the Merkel government would propose a law in the European Parliament creating penalties for negationism, Brigitte Zypries, the justice minister, said flatly: "There are limits to freedom of expression. It must not be possible in Europe to consider the Holocaust a myth and say that six million Jews were never killed."
But in this moment's onstage political discourse, it just isn't part of the acceptable vocabulary to say that in lying about the existence of the Holocaust, in calling for the destruction of another UN member state and in running from the apparent truth of your own nuclear weapons ambitions, Ahmadinejad's Iran has joined these three facts together into an inescapable, menacing reality.
Merkel avoids this explicit triple- connection; Chirac, thinking of Iran's role in Lebanon, seems conflicted by it, while Tony Blair comes the closest to saying unmistakably that Iran is an intolerable threat.
In spite of the Democrats' new, pre- emptive accusations that his administration is giving signs of doing an Iraq on Iran, President George W. Bush, if you look closely, is offering nothing particularly coherent on the subject.
The reality is that Iran should be forcing the United States to react. The result instead is a haphazard series of steps and pronouncements getting called a strategy without having its substance.
American ideas like skirting Russia in future Iran sanctions discussions at the UN, or setting up "coalitions of the willing" to levy those sanctions, coming without a context, only make the Democrats and the Europeans nervous. And no more than a condemnation of Holocaust denial do they contain the certain prospect of shaking Ahmadinejad from his course.
The Iranians may be "overplaying their hand," as the administration says. But nobody out there, at this stage, is really calling their bluff.

WATCH: New Avengers trailer features glimpse of Norwich
PUBLISHED: 16:50 04 February 2019 | UPDATED: 16:50 04 February 2019
Marvel Studios/IMDB
Marvel released their latest trailer for Avengers: Endgame during the Super Bowl last night and it featured a little slice of Norwich.
The film, which will premiere in April this year, is the fourth and final instalment of the Avengers cinematic saga.
Like the Avengers movies that came before it, Endgame will be an ambitious superhero crossover that brings together the worlds of Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and Spider Man, as well as The Guardians of The Galaxy and more.
The Sainsbury Centre art gallery, located at the University of East Anglia, was used as the Avengers HQ in the second Avengers movie, Age of Ultron, in 2015 and reprised its role for Avenger's Infinity War.
Eagle-eyed viewers can spot it once again at around the 16 second mark of the new trailer.

The toxicity and scarcity of cadmium telluride (CdTe) have raised concerns over the use of CdTe in commercial products and have spurred a push towards finding a method to recycle those materials. This invention would be particularly useful in the photovoltaic industry where CdTe is a widely used solar material and for recycling companies focusing on compound semiconductors.
Primary tabs
Problem Addressed
The issues with the current technology are the toxic environmental impact of Cd and Te, which are widely used in solar cells, and the multiple steps required in the present recycling methods. The concern of Cd and Te toxicity pressures manufacturers to recycle spent solar cells and manufacturing waste. The proposed AE recycling of CdTe solar cells selectively dissolves the compound semiconductor for the reclamation of Cd and Te that are suitable for reentry into the CdTe manufacturing stream.
The invention provides a new method to recycle compound semiconductor materials used in the photovoltaic industry by employing ambipolar electrolysis (AE). The proposed process selectively dissolves the semiconductor material off the solar cell into a molten salt bath, leaving behind the glass and metal wire contacts. AE can then be performed on the molten salt containing the dissolved compound, resulting in the simultaneous electrodeposition of the two metals onto separate electrodes. To recycle CdTe, the molten salt can be CdI2 or CdCl2-KCl, and the operating temperature is 500°C. Given the high purity of the collected molten metals, Cd and Te products could be remixed under N2, producing CdTe, ready to be reintroduced into the manufacturing stream of new solar cells.
- Simple one-step process for the reclamation of Cd and Te
- Continuous, closed-stream recycling where the products can be reintroduced into the manufacturing cycle
- Shortens the recycling process
- Recovers toxic materials

0 Application of the rules of hockey in England for the 2019-20 Season
The FIH published the new Rules of Outdoor Hockey in December 2018: These took effect internationally from 1 January 2019, but National Associations have discretion to decide the date of implementation at national level. As communicated on 18th December 2018, (click here) England Hockey chose not to implement the changes during the 2018-19 season. England Hockey can now confirm that it supports the implementation of all the rule changes with the exception of one. Therefore the following (major) changes will be implemented at all levels of the sport in England from the start of the 2019/20 season: • Removal of Player with Goalkeeper Privileges (PwGKP) • Amendments to Attacking Free Hits within the 23m • Defensive Free Hits awarded within the defensive circle • Amendment to ruling around Attackers entering the circle early at a Penalty Corner England Hockey has, in recent years, striven to apply a consistent set of rules throughout all levels of the sport, however, the proposed change to 15-minute quarters has caused considerable concern. Since December England Hockey has been considering the full implications of the rule change including research on the impact on game length consultation with officiating bodies and discussions with other hockey governing bodies around the world. England Hockey has also been liaising with the FIH to understand whether they were reconsidering the proposals in light of the number of countries opting to continue to play halves or opting to move to 17.5 minute quarters (without the clock stopping at Penalty Corners). The Board of England Hockey met on 16 July and has agreed the following changes: 1. To apply 17.5 minute quarters (without the clock stopping at Penalty Corners) to the elite domestic club game specifically: a. All Divisions of the England Hockey Leagues (the Investec Women's Hockey League and Men's England Hockey League); b. Tier 1 of the Adult Club Championships. 2. For season 2019-20, to leave the rest of the club game played as halves, usually of 2x35 minutes (or shorter formats in the junior game as appropriate). The implementation of quarters at lower levels will be considered over the course of the 2019/20 season, in light of the experience at the higher levels. Support will be available for players, coaches, umpires and officials in learning these rule implementations through access to material on the Hockey Hub and this will be shared with Leagues & Umpiring Associations to enhance the learning of their members ahead of the new season. Due to the variation in rule sets for the domestic game, the Hockey Hub will host both versions of the rules that England Hockey will be playing to during the 2019/20 season. As previously stated, there are a number of changes to the Outdoor Rules. These are all marked with a vertical line in the margin of the Rule Book. The key rule changes are summarised below, but players, coaches, umpires and officials are encouraged to read the full text of the new rules rather than relying on this document. Key Changes 2.2 – Mandatory Experiment: a team no longer has the option to play with a player with goalkeeping privileges. This means that teams either play with a Goalkeeper, or 11 outfield players 5 – timing of matches to be more closely aligned with the international game as seen at the Vitality Hockey Women's World Cup or FIH Pro-League. See above / below for further details. 6 – wording change around the start and re-start of the match to reflect the change to quarters in the rule book. 9.12 – Very minor clarification of third party or shadow obstruction during a penalty corner on defenders (and goalkeeper). 11.6 – wording added to this rule to show that Umpires blow the whistle for the start / end of each quarter and for the stopping / re-starting of time around a Penalty Corner. 12.4 – clarification added to the awarding of a Penalty Stroke if the ball hits a piece of equipment lying in the circle and a probable goal is prevented, a penalty stroke may be awarded. 13.1 – A free hit awarded to the defence within the defensive circle can be taken anywhere in their circle OR taken up to 15 metres from the back-line in line with the location of the offence, parallel to the side-line. 13.2 – Additional wording in the guidance concerning the re-start after awarding a Free Hit to the attacking team within 5 metres of the circle they are attacking. The introduction of a quick self-pass for these Free Hits allows the defenders to stay within the circle, within 5m and not interfere with play until the ball can legitimately enter the circle. If there is no quick self-pass, then ALL defenders, regardless of location in the 23m, have to retreat 5m if they wish to legitimately play the ball once the Free Hit is taken. 13.3.g – Clarification on defending team's responsibilities when defending a Penalty Corner when playing with no Goalkeeper. 13.5 – Removal of previous rule of when a Penalty Corner is finished if time has already lapsed and clarification that if play during a Penalty Corner is stopped because of an injury or for any other reason during the taking of a penalty corner at the end of a quarter or half and a bully would otherwise be awarded, the penalty corner must be taken again. 13.6.e – change to current rule, now if an attacker enters the circle at a Penalty Corner before permitted, the player taking the push or hit from the backline is required to go beyond the centre-line and the Penalty Corner is taken again. 13.7.e – if a team has chosen to play with eleven outfield players and no goalkeeper, if they concede a Penalty Stroke then this explains what protective equipment is permitted for the defender.

0 Frank Lockhart [Funeral Information Added]
It is with deep sadness we have to inform our members that Frank Lockhart, a stalwart of umpiring and sport generally, has passed away. Frank became a much respected figure in both hockey and cricket over many years. His cricket at Oxford University identified him as someone who would make his mark on the game, and he became a very successful club cricketer, who then moved into umpiring where he reached Minor Counties standard, and was well known throughout Essex as one of the top umpires in the county, as well as umpiring at Lords. He was a member for many years at Woodford Wells Cricket Club where he finished umpiring only this summer. His hockey career was equally successful with many years service to Essex and East umpiring. He umpired at the top level in the East, and many said he was close to an appointment by the England Selectors. He had a long spell as secretary of ECHUA before the merger, and was a Selector for a long time. When NPUA was formed Frank became its first Appointments Secretary, a demanding post which he filled with considerable flair for many years. He followed this with several years service as an NPUA Match Delegate. He was a popular figure at many hockey and cricket clubs in the East, and became a regular figure at the Barcelona Hockey Tournament, where he was honoured with a special presentation recently. Until last year he was taking regular appointments with Essex HUA, and was a regular at School games in the East, as well as England Masters matches - not bad at 80 +! His involvement with Crostyx Hockey Club goes back a long way. He was a much admired umpire in both sports, who was always sought out after games to socialise and discuss decisions. His friends and colleagues will miss him enormously. He was always supportive on the pitch and off it, and had a never ending catalogue of stories. One of Hockey's greats; there have not been many of them. Frank Lockhart 1933 - 2018 Funeral Details City of London Crematorium (North Chapel), Aldersbrook Road, Manor Park, London E12 5DQ at 10.45am on Tuesday 18th September and afterwards at The Woodford Wells Club,Monkhams Lane,Woodford Green,ESSEX,IG8 ONL.Family flowers only and any donations to Great Ormond Street Hospital please

Will Ferrell Interviewed Joaquin Phoenix, And It Barely Stayed On The Rails
Some say the ideal Joaquin Phoenix interview is a mix of weirdness, arrogance, unintentional humor, and a spritz of douche. We're all in luck, because that's what Joaquin Phoenix delivered when he was interviewed for Interview magazine by Will Ferrell. If you'd like a quick gauge on the Joaquin-y quality of this interview, there's the fact that at one point he describes children as smelling profoundly of rotten bananas. So here we go!
Joaquin has a few new films out soon, like You Were Never Really Here and Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far on Foot, as well as the upcoming The Sisters Brothers. Joaquin would probably rather talk about what pie tastes like with his girlfriend than do press, but sadly it's part of the job. Which led him to an interview with Will. .
Will Ferrell seems sort of like an odd choice to interview the king of the grumpy hipsters, but it would appear they got along great, because the interview is lengthy and there are a lot of bonkers gems. Both Will and Joaquin say they're too old to be on social media and probably never will be (Joaquin says, "I just have absolutely no desire"). And then this exchange took place:
Will: "I was recently thinking about your role in Gladiator. I was thinking about your role in that movie, and the reason why it works is because you're such a little bitch…In your personal life, are you sometimes a little bitch?"
Joaquin: "Be more specific."
Will: "Can you get a little bitchy if you're in a bad mood?"
Joaquin: "Definitely."
Will also asks Joaquin if while working with M. Night Shyamalan if he ever called him M. Night Shyamalamadingdong (he didn't). As for the thing about bananas:
Joaquin: "Having bananas around the house is like having kids. I don't have kids but I have nephews, and I grew up in a big family with a lot of kids, and I have to say that the smell of rotting bananas seemed to permeate the household throughout my entire childhood. And I feel like, if you wanted to know what it's like to have kids, you could get a banana and throw it on your bed for a few weeks, then you'd kind of know what you're going to be dealing with. Because bananas are basically – that's what toddlers eat, right?"
Joaquin may at least pretend to be an intelligent person, but here's something he doesn't know: what Valentine's Day is.
Joaquin: "Did you know that it's Valentine's Day?"
Will: "I did. I'm going to a group Valentine's Day dinner with my wife and four other friends."
Joaquin: "That sounds awful. Can I ask you a question? What is Valentine's Day?"
At one point during the interview, Will takes a phone call from his wife and Joaquin says, "This is so fucking unprofessional. I can't believe you're doing this" before calling his dog over. Joaquin was probably joking, although it's doubtful that Will and Joaquin are BFFs in the making. Do not expect Joaquin to bro down at your Super Bowl party, Will.
Will: "Well, next year I'll invite you over to watch the Super Bowl.
Joaquin: "You don't have to."
Will: "You don't even have to watch it."
Joaquin: "I'm trying to do this thing where I'm being honest with people – I don't want to come. But I'd love to come over to check out your bananas sometime."
Aw, that would be nice. Will just has to make sure he doesn't accidentally book their banana date on Super Bowl Sunday, otherwise that could get weird for his other guests. "Who's that greasy hobo in the kitchen? Oh, it's that little bitch from Gladiator, Joaquin Phoenix. Yeah, he's just here to look at the bananas, pay no attention to him."

Hi coolice,
Thank you for your question! It definitely doesn't sound like you were pregnant before you took the 5mg of Modus. Unfortunately, I'm not very familiar with that medication. You will have to go back to the gynecologist who prescribed Modus to you and have her take it from there.
Wishing you and your baby the best!

Increase Your Soccer Knowldedge Starting Right Now!
Are you confused by how popular the sport of soccer is? Are you wanting to understand what makes this game so great? Do you want to become a better player? Read this article to learn everything all you can about soccer.
Your proficiency at the game of soccer should dictate the type of shoe cleats you purchase. If you are just beginning, synthetic or plastic cleats should suffice. More advanced soccer players ought to use metal cleats, so they can plan on different kinds of fields.
Avoid collisions between another player and yourself when you can. Do everything possible to predict your opponent's next location. This technique helps you maintain control of the ball, as well as reducing your chances of getting injured.
Once a defender is closing in on you, pass the ball. Keep it safe and then advance it to a teammate. Your teammate will have several seconds before defenders do the same to him.
Trick defenders by dribbling away from your intended direction. When the defender takes the bait, switch directions quickly. This is an effective way of getting around your defender.
Trick the opposition by repeating a few patterns. You opponent will see this and begin anticipating it. Then, you can surprise them by sending it in another direction or sending it nowhere.
Keep in mind that soccer is fundamentally a team sport. Remember this. If you don't play as a team, it will not benefit you. Keep the goal of the entire team in mind in order to ensure success. When you make personal sacrifices you will succeed.
Put some strategies in place with your fellow teammates. By knowing when you are about to act, they can make sure to be in the right place to respond. You could cross it at the right for a couple plays and switch it left during the third one.
Tennis Ball
Use a tennis ball to practice your dribbling. By practicing with a small ball, you will become accustomed to making adjustments to your feet to keep control of the ball. After getting comfortable with the tennis ball, it's a lot easier to work with a soccer ball.
Take your soccer practice inside from time to time. When you play soccer indoors, you're playing on a smaller field. This will force you to work on decision making and ball control. Doing this can really improve your game on the outdoor field.
Even though it may seem that soccer is nowhere near the physical game football is, this is not true at all as it can very physical. Don't shy away from contact. You are not playing dirty simply because you make contact with someone. Kicking another person because you can is dirty, however being rough isn't. Get over any fear of getting physical. Your legs should be protected at all times with pads made for soccer.
If you play in the mud, you need well-gripping shoes that can handle slippery situations. Lots of pro soccer players lots soft, removable cleats in these situations. The best cleats for muddy fields are wide. Look for something with two heel cleats and four midsole cleats.
If your opponent is running a tight defense, triangulate to break through it. You can create confusion for your opponent by quickly passing the ball between your teammates. You can get the ball through the tightest field by focusing on combined team effort. Be ready to assist a teammate who is trying to cause confusion among the opponents.
Now that you have read this article, soccer is no longer a confusing game. You should now understand why soccer is such a beloved sport around the world. Keep what you've read here in mind the next time you want to watch soccer.

The Earl Bishop's building schemes are everywhere to be seen along this part of the Londonderry coast. From the imposing Bishop's Gate, a charming glen planted with flowers and shrubs (many donated by visitors) leads to the cliff edge. The house, rebuilt after a fire in 1851, is now a shadow of its former self, but the Mussenden Temple, perched on the clifftop, is a good indicator of the Earl Bishop's ambitious architectural plans.

Like other cycads, the queen sago resembles a palm tree with its feather like leaves arranged in a rosette that crowns a single trunk. It is a larger and more graceful version of its more commonly encountered cousin, the Japanese or king sago (Cycas revoluta).
The queen sago's solitary trunk can grow to 20 ft (6.1 m) in height, more than twice that of the Japanese sago. The dark green pinnate leaves grow to 8 ft (2.4 m) in length with narrow 12 in (30.5 cm) leaflets that curve gracefully downward. New leaves are light green and contrast dramatically with the older foliage.

Welcome Week is one of the coolest and most fun weeks of university. There are many opportunities to mingle around and meet new friends, which is especially helpful if it's your first year. Student groups plan games and events to draw in the crowds. There is so much to do before your first class of the day. Why not have a playlist that reflects the experience of Welcome Week?
Thanks to Spotify, you can create any kind of playlist for any mood you're in. Need some inspiration to get your list going? Here are some of our top picks to make it your go-to playlist for Welcome Week.
Juicy – The Notorious B.I.G.
Start your list off with some old school rap. For starters, who doesn't love a good throwback to some of the best years of rap? Plus, this song is sure to get the whole group ready for the day.
Sober – Childish Gambino
Add in a hit from the rising star Childish Gambino. The first few lines of the song will likely sum up Welcome Week pretty accurately for many.
The Final Countdown – Europe
How can this song not be on any playlist? It's probably one of the most pump up songs you can come across, just what is needed to get you ready for the week shenanigans.
Havana – Camila Cabello & Young Thug
Get into the dancing mood with this hit. It's hard not to go dancing through the halls and high fiving everyone around you when you're listening to Havana.
I Want It That Way – Backstreet Boys
YES! A much-needed throwback (catching on to a theme?) for Welcome Week. With this song, pop your phone into the loudest speaker and get the whole party singing at the top of their lungs.
I'm the One – DJ Khaled (feat. Justin Bieber, Quavo, Chance the Rapper, Lil Wayne
Here's another one the will get you in a chill mood but still ready to go. As you make your way through Welcome Week, having a nice balance of pump up and chill music is needed.
Despacito – Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee
Go for the original with this awesome track. You'll be getting everybody up and dancing, and you'll have a smile on your face the whole time.
My House – Flo Rida
"Welcome to my house, play that music too loud." It might be your new university motto.
Get Low – Zedd (feat. Liam Payne)
Now here is a jam to get you up on your feet and have some fun.
Wannabe – Spice Girls
Can you go to a party or university gathering and not have Spice Girls playing? Didn't think so.
Hotline Bling – Drake
Of course, you have to add in a popular Canadian artist like Drake. Why not get the crowd going with his one song that will have everyone trying to mimic his dance moves?
What is Love – Haddaway
Throwback to the classic dance song, What is Love? Get your head banging to the side on the beat and watch everyone else join in. Just make sure there is no glass beside you.
Work From Home – Fifth Harmony (feat. Ty Dolla $ign)
The beat of this song makes it catchy enough that it's hard not to enjoy it. Besides, who doesn't want to work from home?
Never Gonna Give You Up – Rick Astley
Here's a motivational song for Welcome Week. Never give up! Or, just enjoy the classic song with your friends.
Fireball – Pitbull (feat. John Ryan)
Will this be your drink of choice for Welcome Week? Who knows? At least this song will keep you going no matter what is in your cup.
Gold Digger – Kanye West (feat. Jamie Foxx)
Sneak in some of Kanye West's older music. They're sure to be a hit, and most likely everyone will know all the words.
Live It Up – Nicky Jam, Will Smith, Era Istrefi
It has Will Smith, the legend, and Nicky Jam, a huge name in the Latino world. If you haven't heard this song, you'll soon realize why it will be a favourite.
Body – Loud Luxury (feat. Brando)
Another Canadian duo to add to the list – Loud Luxury. The DJ pair's song Body quickly became popular and is a must-have on any party, pump up playlist.
Livin' On a Prayer – Bon Jovi
I don't think this song needs an explanation as to why it is awesome. It just is.
Wake Me Up – Avicii
Lastly, add in a classic favourite of the late Avicii. Although it may make a few fans sad due to his passing this year, every playlist needs an Avicii hit.
Kailey graduated with a degree in Journalism and Religious Studies from the University of Regina, Saskatchewan. Now she lives a double life in Manitoba – writer by day and dance teacher by night. When she's not at her computer, you'll find her curled up with a glass of red wine and knitting, or obsessively taking photos of her puppy.🐶🐾

We launch a new series of meetings starting on Tuesday, October 29, at Noon Pacific, in Zoom. The schedule for those weekly meetings is as follows:
Noon – 12.30: those who want to update and augment Howard Rheingold's book The Virtual Community are invited to do so. We'll start working on the intro and first chapter. We just finished a first reading, more about that here.
12.30 – 13.00: let's discuss and annotate the Foreword and the Introduction of the Peeragogy Handbook.
13.00 – 13.30: serendipity time! Let's exchange projects, readings, encounters – maybe they'll inspire some of the participants! During preparatory meetings people suggested to add stuff about DAO and virtual reality. These kinds of suggestions can lead to separate but connected projects which can eventually merge with the main project.
For the annotation of the books we use hypothes.is and google docs.
If you're interested to join for all or some sessions, let me know. I'll invite you to a mailing list where you will get the necessary links and practical information.

Kyrie Irving's last game occurred Nov. 14 in Denver when he labored through the effects of an impinged right shoulder. Since then the Brooklyn Nets are getting good looks at their roster depth while also getting production from Spencer Dinwiddie most nights.
Irving will be watching from the bench again Sunday afternoon when the Nets host the Denver Nuggets and hope to incorporate both elements.
The Nets are 8-3 since Irving scored 17 points on 8-of-20 shooting in 35 minutes of a 101-93 nationally televised loss to the Nuggets. While Irving is showing incremental progress, he has yet to participate in any contact drills and the Nets have not established a timetable for his return.
Dinwiddie is averaging 23.8 points and 7.5 assists since Irving's last game while Joe Harris is averaging 16.7 points on 48.9 percent shooting and 44.3 percent on 3-pointers in that span. Both players helped the Nets record another win Friday when Harris scored 22 on a season-high six 3-pointers and Dinwiddie added 13 and a season-best 12 assists in a 111-104 win at Charlotte.
Perhaps equally as impressive for the Nets is nobody played more than 33 minutes, six players scored in double-figures and they handed out a season-high 35 assists. Those results came on a night when the second unit combined for 38 points and keyed a 14-0 run to start the second half Friday.
"Their chemistry is really good right now," coach Kenny Atkinson said of his team. "They are talking about coverages and encouraging each other. Even in the first half when it didn't go so well they were together. Sometimes coaches will get negative. (But) they are pushing each other and their chemistry is great right now."
Denver is returning to the New York area after absorbing a 108-95 loss in Boston Friday night. Friday's game occurred 24 hours after the Nuggets hit 21 3-pointers and coasted to a 129-92 rout of the Knicks that wound up being David Fizdale's last game coaching New York.
A night later, Denver could not muster the same offense and lost for the third time in four games since winning six straight from Nov. 14-26.
"We're not playing well at all," Denver guard Jamal Murray said. "We're playing really bad, and we are second in the West. So, imagine when we start playing well."
Murray was 5-for-14 Friday when the Nuggets shot 41.5 percent and missed 25 of 30 3-pointers. Murray enters Sunday as a career 35.9 percent 3-point shooter but is 2-of-15 from 3-point range in his last five games since Nov. 24.
While the Nuggets are hoping to execute better offensively, they also are hoping to get another big game from Nikola Jokic. Jokic is coming off his first 30-point game of the season but was shooting 38.3 percent in his previous five games before Friday and is averaging 15.7 points on a career-worst 46.4 percent shooting.
"That was the only positive I took from the game tonight that he got going," Denver forward Will Barton said of Jokic. "We got our (butt) kicked tonight. I was horrible on defense. We were horrible on defense. Only thing you can take from it is our big fella got back on track, so let's feed off that."

Leaders are readers… and lifelong learners.
If you've been around this weekly conversation for awhile, no part of that first line is foreign to you; it's at the core of this Monday missive. Only the arrogant end their continuing intake of wisdom from reliable sources: the leader who has a future is the woman or man who makes finding and downloading great insight an ongoing habit of life.
I've always been intrigued by an enterprise that advertises frequently in the Wall Street Journal. TheGreatCourses.com is a perfect-for-the-times service. Founded 25 years ago by Tom Rollins – at that time, a law student at Harvard who needed help to prep for a vital exam – to help busy people gain valuable sophistication, their concept was simple: find the top 1% of college professors who could communicate their subjects well, and make the service available outside the conventional classroom
Over a quarter century, over 19 million courses have been audited by their customers. Their half-page ad in the WSJ Weekend Edition caught my eye with this week's featured course: How Jesus Became God.
Taught by Bart D. Ehrman, the 24 lectures come from Ehrman's 2014 book, sporting the same title. Ehrman is Professor of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. His own story is important to note: converted to faith as a teenager, Ehrman attended Moody Bible Institute, finished his undergraduate studies at Wheaton College, and pursued his PhD at Princeton Theological Seminary. Paralleling his academic journey, he describes his movement from "born again" to "liberal" to – finally – "agnostic atheist." From that personal belief foundation, Ehrman has served Chair of the Department of Religious Studies at UNC, and his numerous books – both popular and academic textbooks – spring from his rejection of the divine inspiration of the Scriptures and of the deity of Jesus.
I've decided against The Great Courses from Ehrman; I found a synopsis of the subject written by an eyewitness in the 1st Century that has been read by a far broader audience than Ehrman will ever reach. Here's Paul's take: not on "How Jesus Became God," but, "How God Became Jesus:"
"In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death – even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." (Philippians 2:5-11)
If you're looking for a good book to pursue in the next couple of weeks – while you're decoding the outcome of Rams vs Patriots in the Big One – you might want to get your hands on a new one by Dan Buttafuoco, a practicing attorney who has taken on the task of putting the Christian faith on trial, analyzing the evidence for the New Testament's reliability and the claims that it makes about the Lord Jesus. The title is a virtual summation: Consider the Evidence: A Trial Lawyer Examines Eyewitness Testimony in Defense of the Reliability of the New Testament. The review in TownHall makes the case; it would be worth the time and money…
The assaults on what we believe have always been present, but their intensity is building and their mainstream validation is elevating them. Leaders are readers… but it's important to be very discriminating about who you're reading and where they're leading.

Man in hospital after being 'crushed' by barge
PUBLISHED: 13:06 12 December 2017 | UPDATED: 13:06 12 December 2017
A man "crushed" between a barge and a jetty in Dagenham has been rushed to hospital.
Crews from London Fire Brigade, the RNLI and London Ambulance Service's hazardous area response team spent an hour and a half in Chequers Lane hoisting the man into another barge on a splint and then into a waiting ambulance.
"The barge had moved away when we got there and the man was on a gangway," said crew manager Alan Jones, who was at the scene.
"It was an unusual rescue and crews worked hard alongside emergency services colleagues to get the man safely into the ambulance."
Two fire engines and two fire rescue units were alerted to the incident just before 7.30am on Monday.
Firefighters from Barking and Dagenham fire stations attended, along with units from stations in East Ham and Bethnal Green.
They left at 9.01am.

Lax Policies North of the Border: Eliminating the Long-Gun Registry
The current session of the Canadian Parliament is currently debating legislation aiming to eliminate the long-gun registry system that has been maintained for many years, a move sponsored largely by the conservative party led by Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Since the conservatives mustered a majority government on May 3, 2011, initiatives to remove the registry and cater to the gun lobby have been anticipated. Some Canadians feel this is simply another step toward fulfilling more sweeping, long-term Conservative Party goals, culminating in an effort to "kill the current gun licensing scheme altogether." The registry has long acted as a beneficial data-gathering instrument for legislative reform and regulatory analysis, in the pursuit of the restraint of private control of weapons. Authorities who have relied on this information to prevent gun violence throughout the country are concerned over the effects resulting from the elimination of such regulation on law enforcement and the safety and security of Canadians. In essence, the government has moved to eliminate a measure that has, for a lengthy period of time, protected its people from unnecessary gun violence.
The Canadian Auto Workers (CAW) Union has spoken fervently against closing down the registry. CAW President Ken Lewenza insists that its proposed dissolution "is more a show of political opportunism than common sense." Women's Programs Director of the CAW, Julie White, has spoken out in concurrence with Lawenza, illustrating that the initiative to save the registry is reflective of "principles of public safety and…a culture of responsible gun ownership." Others argue that gun regulation should not be weakened because of the resulting inevitable spurs of violence that will further trouble Canadian society. On the anniversary of lethal shootings that had occurred at their school in September of 2006, a group of students from Dawson College requested a discussion with the Prime Minister to consider the costs and benefits of eliminating the registry, but failed to elicit any formative response from Harper's office. The students' initiative, however, reveals a stark division in public policy, and the presence of a strong, emotionally charged, level of public opposition to a restrictive society within the Canadian electorate.
The registry's deconstruction is motivated by an array of objectives. Many see the system as being needlessly officious and unnecessary: most long-range weapons listed in the registry are used for hunting and sporting activities, with such limitations often needlessly inundating hapless citizens with any number of difficulties, along with logistical problems. Candice Hoeppner, a prominent anti-registry Member of Parliament, has advocated for the removal of the registry from the inception of the initiative, insisting that her constituents "are good, salt-of-the-earth people and for so long they have had really nobody in government who has been able to make any changes on their behalf." A report issued by Dr. Caillin Langmann of McMaster University in support of Conservatives' efforts to do away with a superfluous reporting system states that "tougher gun laws have done nothing to lower Canada's homicide rates," which has seriously questioned the need for defending strict anti-gun laws throughout Canada.
The response to these arguments, however, has manifested itself in what quickly has amounted to a provincial nullification crisis. In other words, Quebec is attempting to create its own directory of long-gun owners in the wake of any registry dissolution, defying a law about to be put forth by the national government that would destroy all federal and provincial records contained in the registry. Quebec's chief firearms officer has been strictly directed by provincial authorities to secure information from the registry regarding Quebec's citizenry, and to begin the construction of a province-wide registry. A true dilemma is now unfolding, as Quebec is forced to choose between obeying federal mandate to destroy the directory or conforming to its own electorate and the will of local officials. The national government has remained firmly opposed to individual provincial registries, as has been the case of Prime Minister Harper. Privacy Czar Jennifer Stoddart has insisted, however, that the government has no reason to be so uncompromising. According to Stoddart, the law says nothing that would prevent "the federal government from sharing the data with provincial governments." In essence, the government has no prerequisite to withhold the information to be found in each province's registry, especially when that registry has already been financed largely by Quebec's tax revenue. It simply amounts to a desire on the part of the Conservatives to minimize gun control by granting neither access to the registry data nor permission to create provincial registries.
The removal of the national registry is another example of the government's flippant attitude towards gun control policy. No one denies that the spread of arms throughout the hemisphere poses a huge threat to international security. The recent "Operation Fast and Furious" scandal in Mexico proves that mismanagement of firearm practices in developed countries presents serious consequences for developing or underdeveloped nations. If guns are made more readily available in Canada, the proliferation of these arms to other, more retrogressive nations that can be dominated by criminal activity becomes even easier. While many long-range weapons to be found within the registry are used for game or sport, the deconstruction of the national registry is a step in a decidedly right-wing direction. The consequences of cavalier ownership and the provision of weapons unchecked by the government could prove catastrophic for Canada and the entire hemisphere.

As garments go, there is nothing more classic or historic than a trench coat. First designed at the turn of the century for use in the military, their iconic look has survived and evolved over the last 100 years, and has made the location of this shoot so perfect.
One of my favorite places to shoot in Westchester County is Untermeyer Park and Gardens. Also designed about the turn of the century, Untermeyer Gardens, then known as Greystone Gardens, was the work of William Welles Bosworth (who also designed Rockefeller Gardens on the Rockefeller Estate in Pocantico Hills) and was commissioned by Samuel Untermeyer, a wealthy New York philanthropist.The gardens have survived the test of time, as has the functional but stylish design of the trench coat.
For me, the trench coat serves as my go-to transitional piece. This coat has an A-line style that I love and is a new take on a traditional trench with contrasting plaid patterns. I styled it like a dress, with a wide belt and red heeled loafers to pop. This is a great piece that can be worn both Fall and Spring. For a weekend look I would pair this with a white tee and high waisted jeans. What's your favorite Fall jacket?
What I wore;
Hat -Eric Javits
Trench, Belt, Bag- Alice + Olivia
Shoes- Gucci

Our elf, Mr. Jingle, is here to stay with us until Christmas Eve! Last year was our first year with him.....and to be honest, we couldn't remember what we named him last year. Madison was only 2, and doesn't realize that he got a new name. Mr. Jingle was the first thing that popped in my mind this year. So, alas, he is now Mr. Jingle. I got the cutest idea from Jessica at Little Pumpkin Grace to do a North Pole Breakfast. I read her post late one evening, and I decided to try to pull it off the next morning. Sooooo, mine is not nearly as cute as hers, but I tried!.....and Madison loved it. Mr. Jingle set the table for our breakfast the next morning.

The Centenary of ANZAC Day is upon us and the attention of the nation will turn, once again, to remembrance. One commentator has called into question the commercialisation and glamorous nature of so many elements of this commemoration. He pointed to cruise ships off the Gallipoli coast, complete with tourist opportunities, pop stars and themed entertainment. He commented upon the manner in which corporations have already been taken to task for equating their products with ANZAC mythology. There are football matches that are advertised in war-like terms and as 'ANZAC' matches. So much of this is far from the reality of ANZAC Day and the mythology that touches deeply into the hearts and minds of so many Australians who are looking for deeper meaning, hope and something of the spirit amidst the ordinary life.
As we turn our minds to this myth, central to Australia and our national story, we read the stories of this day in the light of the story that lies even more centrally within the life of the Christian Community – the Story of Jesus and the traditions of faith. Whilst the two are not mutually exclusive neither are they mutually inclusive. The Christian story has much to speak into the ANZAC mythology and the programs of war and conflict that entwine themselves into our conscience.
As I have spoken to many veterans over the years to understand their story, their experience – to listen and sit with them in the sacred space of their telling. Most do not want to say very much about the actual experience. For them war is too terrible, to horrific. It is too much of hell! For some the adventure of teenage years, responding to the call of King, Empire and country, began as an exciting interlude to ordinary life. A bit of training and then off the see the world, battle and vanquish the foe and return in a few months to continue normal life. They ended up in deserts, on cliff faces and in a plethora of strange places for which their training ill-prepared them. One commented that the first day of war, reality struck deep, clear and horrifically quick. In deserts he wasn't ready for he realised that the enemy was shooting at him – real bullets, real grenades… That first day two mates were killed. This was real and it was dangerous deadly and he had no idea what he was doing or why! He said: 'Son don't think war is good – it is hell on earth! We should do anything to avoid war and sending more young men and women into it.'
Another was a paratrooper and often behind enemy lines. That's about all he would say except to get angry with politicians who support wars without understanding the first thing about it and then glory in the men and women going out or coming back! Another was a pilot who ended in a POW camp and escaped on the Long March, was hidden in an abandoned house and liberated by the Allies. None spoke about the realities of war; it was too hard but the pain, the struggle, the evil horror was clear in their eyes and being. War is not the answer, they repeated time and again.
I read of the current problems facing veterans of recent wars, from Vietnam to Afghanistan and Iraq. One story begins: IT WAS around midnight when Nicholas Hodge stepped into the middle of the road, lay down on the white line and placed his identity card on his chest. A passing taxi driver was the first to spot him and pulled over. The driver picked up the card on Hodge's chest, reached for his phone and began dialling.
Soon, a police patrol arrived and two officers made their way towards to the large, powerfully built figure lying face-up on the bitumen. One of the officers recognised Hodge: a factor, he says now, that – combined with the way ACT Policing handled him that night – probably saved his life. Under the gaze of nearby diners in the trendy Canberra restaurant district of Kingston, Hodge begins to sob. "I was hoping a car would run me over," he explains. "I just started bawling my eyes out, saying, 'I need help, I need help'." Hodge was a veteran of multiple deployments with both the army and Federal Police in Afghanistan. The story is told in the Canberra Times and outlines this veteran's nightmare life filled with depression, loneliness and haunting ghosts of war from which he cannot escape. It is one of countless such stories.
These veterans have many of the physical injuries but the psychological manifestations of war are growing more intense and difficult. There is a 3x greater suicide rate amongst veterans than the rest of the community and mental health issues are becoming chronic with up to 50% of all veterans needing significant support and help of some description. PTSD is rampant. In some ways this has always been the case but it has been hidden and allowed to hide in the lives and minds of veterans who tried to ignore it and families who hid the pain.
Unless one has been in the place of these soldiers it is impossible to understand. We can only listen to the stories and feel the pain in their eyes and tears. We can also take them seriously and hear the message that echoes through the memories and stories – War IS NOT the answer! It is hell on earth and should be avoided at all costs. For young men and women on the ground, obeying orders and so often fulfilling the political pipedreams of national leaders, war is extremely dangerous and leaves them wounded and psychologically damaged. That is the nature of the culture of violence and the more extreme it is, the more significant the pain for these pawns of our wars.
Somehow this message is lost in the grandstanding of leaders who parade through ANZAC Day bathing in reflected glory and intoning platitudes of ignorance. The silence that we are encouraged to embrace is the only fitting response to the horror and evil that these young men and women were exposed to, embraced in their being and courageously endured. The silence we hold ought to embolden us to listen more deeply to the words of veterans and heed their sombre warning that war is NOT THE ANSWER! Sending troops to wars that are not our own, with no basis in defence and lacking sanity is not honouring the memory and sacrifice of those who have fought. It is playing with people's lives.
In remembering those who served through the theatre of war, we want lift up and celebrate particular characteristics that rise to the surface in times of deep stress, danger and need. These young men and women displayed courage, sacrifice, perseverance and persistence, loyalty, faithfulness, mateship that was really a deep, deep dependence and trust in each other through the darkest times. These are qualities to hold up, to give thanks for and to emulate in our own lives. They are also qualities at the heart of faith and exemplified in the story central to our life as a Christian community – the death of Jesus and the response of God in the Easter story.
Our central faith story speaks of One who is so filled with belief and hope and conviction in the Reign and way of God that he sacrifices his own life for the sake of God's way in the world, to proclaim the deepest truth of life for all people. Jesus is courageous, self-sacrificing, persevering, graciously welcoming of all people, embracing them into the community of grace as friends/mates and builds deep trust. Jesus is also absolutely non-violent and resists any effort by his followers to use sword or spear – he is a leader who understands and leads truly.
Jesus defies the world's culture of 'violence as the only response to violence'. He proclaims a way that is the only true way to peace. He knows full well that violence begets more violence and inevitably the little ones suffer the most. True peace is only ever born out of love. This is the hardest truth for us to grasp because everywhere we have a culture of violence influencing us until we know it alone, as the way of the world.
Yet, isn't this the message of our diggers, young and old? Isn't this the truth they learned in the midst of hell? Isn't this the deep wisdom forged into their consciousness whilst being shot at, having mates gunned down in the most god-forsaken places on earth? We honour these men and women. We remember them, but we fail to heed their message and therefore we fail to truly honour their lives and sacrifice, their memory. Most people I have spoken to fought in the vain hope that their children and grandchildren wouldn't have to. What are we doing?
As a few war veterans in recent times, said to me, remember the past – those who fought, those who died, why they fought and died, how they fought and died – and work towards peace! War is not an answer.
No-one I spoke to condones war – all were united in their opposition and hatred of what war is about; the pain and suffering, the futility?
It's hard to comprehend that not so long ago Australians were united in their opposition and hatred of what war is about; this pain and suffering, this sheer futility of loss. But those born after WWII, what do we really know? What do those who are making decisions for war understand? Do they know of air raid shelters and sirens; blackened windows and blackouts; working at home to support the war effort – including the sacrifices…; waiting for word about loved ones – not knowing where they were, whether they were dead or alive…?
It is difficult for younger generations who are not related to service men and women, to understand the debt owed to those who fought for our freedom; people who sacrificed much for their relatives, friends and their country. War is too often glamorised and glorified – especially in Hollywood portrayals! But there is nothing, absolutely nothing, glamorous about war! It does bring out some of the best qualities in people as their lives are bound together in a struggle for freedom. They strive together towards a common goal. When the comforts and ease of life is stripped away and everything is reduced to absolute basics, truly great human qualities emerge – sacrifice of self for others, working together, trust, community and, often, faith in God (One veteran remembered lying in a trench with gunfire all around. There was himself and two mates who often joked with him about his faith. In the trench that night they all prayed for their lives!). There is much love realised and released when people struggle under tremendous hardship.
Having said that, war is ultimately a futile exercise that brings death, destruction and suffering upon people and the earth. It is tragic and the scars are imprinted on the national psyche forever – ANZAC Day is a sacred day in Australia, but one that often misses the point – in honouring the service men and women doesn't hear their cries for peace! As a result of the ending of WWII we have grown up in a very different world – one in which we have the capacity to destroy everything in a few minutes. The rules have changed in war and we must remember!
This day ought to be about peace. For if there is any message that we must hear from those who have served our nation in war, it is to work for peace!! In the place of such deeply felt hatred that exists in war there must be peace! The world, the human race, the earth itself, cannot bear much more war. We must work for peace.
One person told me of meeting a German some years after the war – they were both on opposing sides and possibly shooting at each other. They were together on a trip and it was difficult but they were both men, with families – not very different. He looked back and thought of how they had to hate each other in order to do what they had to do. People were fighting people who were, often, very much like them. He said: 'People experience such hatred – how can it be?'
This week's reading, Psalm 23, is a psalm that speaks of God as our shepherd, the One who leads, guides, nurtures and sustains us through the good, the hard and the realities of life. It invites another way of living and believing – the way of God that contrasts with the ways of the world leaders who use power through weapons of violence and warfare. This psalm invites us to ponder what we really need and what really offers us peace, life, hope and contentment. It affirms, from the voice of a king of Israel, that God is the one who brings contentment, meaning and the true way of life for us. It is a way of peace! There must be peace; we must strive for peace! Peace that is not just the absence of war but wholeness in human relationships. This includes justice – looking after the poor, sick, weak and our children. It is wholeness in our relationship with the earth – living peacefully with the earth is not to abuse and destroy the planet needlessly. It means standing up against those things and people which devalue human life and promote the causes of separatism, elitism, racism, sexism, classism… It means to stand up against injustice, whether it be in systems (political, church, business…) or people (one another, politicians, business leaders…).
In Australia the relationship with aboriginal people must be dealt with honestly, once and for all – there must be recognition of the past and a commitment to move forward together with love and seeking true peace!
Today also means living peacefully with one another, listening to another and respecting them as a human. For it is in our small conflicts that the roots of war and fighting begin.
Peace does not lie in power over another or intimidation; it lies in vulnerability and love – this is the simple message of a Galilean carpenter/storyteller who turned the world on its head. If you want to follow Jesus, then walk the way of peace and love!

It was a deadly weekend in Long Beach, with multiple shootings that left two people dead and at least three hospitalized, including a man who police say was shot after he aimed a gun at an officer. Here's what we know:
Deadly birthday party
Two men are dead and two women are in the hospital with wounds sustained after a shooting in the 6500 block of North Rose Avenue on Friday night, authorities said.
Long Beach police officers were dispatched at about 9:54 p.m. and arrived at the scene to find two dead men with apparent gunshot wounds to the torso. Police also discovered two female victims who also suffered gunshot wounds to the torso, and were transported to a local hospital.
The victims were identified as 26-year-old Sophon Kao and 24-year-old Jerry Chim, both of Long Beach. The identities of the two women will not be released, authorities said.
An investigation revealed the victims were celebrating a birthday with a small group of friends when a suspect approached on foot and shot them as they were sitting in an alcove beside the home.
Reports of an involved vehicle have not been confirmed.
Armed man shot in Belmont Heights
Long Beach police shot a man after deputies were called to a home for a restraining order violation in Belmont Heights on Saturday night, authorities said.
An officer arrived at the scene in the 200 block of Park Avenue between Third and Vista Streets at about 6 p.m. in response to a report of an "unwelcome person" who was possibly armed.
Upon arrival, a citizen approached the officer and said the suspect was coming down a driveway armed with a handgun.
The suspect, identified as 49-year-old Greg Treadway of Long Beach, then pointed the gun at the officer. When Treadway failed to comply with the officer's command, the officer shot him.
Treadway was then transported to a local hospital.
An investigation revealed that Treadway came to the location in violation of a restraining order and broke into a garage where authorities believe he retrieved the gun. Treadway then walked to the front of the residence where the protected person, an ex-girlfriend on the restraining order, was at the time of the officer-involved shooting.
Treadway has been booked on attempted murder, assault against a police officer with a firearm, burglary and violation of a restraining order, police said.
Authorities said the L.A. County District Attorney's Office will conduct an independent investigation of the shooting.
Anyone with information regarding the two incidents is asked to call Long Beach Police Homicide Detectives Mark McGuire and Greg Krabbe at 562-570-7244.

edit: at least I can stop Eq from showing up, the script below does not seem to allow the equipment even on the station it refers to.
This actually makes it easy for oxp authors to see what Eq may need updated to script, but would not be so cool for the few who play the trunk version. If you don't have this issue I wouldn't be surprised because around the same time I updated trunk to the latest version I tried to edit ./GNUDefaults file and I very well may have had oolite running at the time without realizing it.
I know I did something wrong because for a while in 1.80 I was seeing 1.81 effects and issues with the station GUIs. I also had the log report that there was no dictionary in the GNUDefaults. I have since uninstalled and reinstalled both 1.80 and 1.81. I have no more issues with 1.80 but I am still seeing the depreciated equipment in 1.81. I have the enforce-oxp-standards key set to 0. If I set it to 3 I don't think oolite-trunk will even start with all my oxps.
I must say that I am very happy with the new market system I have already created a few custom goods and everything seems to working well with that. Thanks!
I have updated my equipment with a conditions script like this:
Code: Select all
"use strict"
this.name = "Xarth-Eq-conditions";
this.XarthEq = ["EQ_XARTH_BOT", "EQ_XARTH_BEACON", "EQ_XARTH_DOCK_KEY", "EQ_XARTH_MYSTEQ_I", "EQ_XARTH_PROBE", "EQ_XARTH_ROSE_KEY", "EQ_XARTH_SCHEM_I", "EQ_XARTH_TEST"];
this.allowAwardEquipment = function(equipment, ship, context) {
if (equipment == this.XarthEq)
// Xarth Eq only available from a site
if (context == "purchase" && player.ship.dockedStation.name != "Xarth Qui'sut Na Site Lvl I")
return false;
} else {
return true;

Eason's 'Runt' tackles football as metaphor
One-man show dramatizes ex-pro player's plan for life
FOR THE ARIZONA DAILY STARBo Eason anxiously waits in the dark before he whips into action.
A familiar rush of adrenalin pumps through his veins. He feels the crowd's anticipation.
"I can hear the crowd, I can feel their vibrations," said Eason, a former Houston Oiler safety.
"I feel like I'm in the Astrodome again, waiting to be introduced to 65,000 fans."

But this is theater, not football. The scene is backstage, waiting to make his entrance for his one-man show, "Runt of the Litter." Invisible Theatre brings the production to Tucson this weekend.
The cue music starts, the lights go on and Eason takes his first step in recounting, play-by-play, his journey to becoming a professional football player.
"Whether it's a sport or a play, I get a thrill from live performance. You can't stop to go back and redo something," said Eason. "That ambivalent feeling makes me nervous, but I rise to the occasion."
Written by Eason, "Runt" is a semi-autobiographical account of a dedicated man who was always told he wasn't good enough to play football.
He fell into the shadow of his gifted older brother, Tony. With determination and a crayon in hand, 9-year-old Eason drew out a 20-year plan that, if strictly followed, would lead the way to a professional football career.
"When the play starts, you are in the last hour of the 20-year plan, and it's all about to come true," said Eason. "Catch is, I have to destroy my brother to make it happen."
Tony played for the New England Patriots and in 1987, the brothers' teams were slated to play each other. Eason was the Oiler's safety, and his brother was the Patriot's quarterback, two positions that compete directly.
"Fate would have it that the game never happened, but over a decade later I was still haunted by it," said Eason. "I always wondered what could have happened."
Choosing to channel his curiosities through live theater, Eason's "Runt" delves into his dreams, ambitions, sibling rivalries and family loyalties, but with a little added drama.
"It's universal in its themes," said Eason. "The more personal you make it the more universal it becomes."
Through his story-telling, Eason looks to inspire.
"Kids will come up to me after the show and say, 'Wow, my parents need to see this,' and parents will come up and say, 'Wow, my kid needs to see this'," said Eason.
"Runt" also inspired the yet-to-be-released movie of the same name directed by Frank Darabont ("The Shawshank Redemption," "The Green Mile"), as well as the "21 Day Runt Program," where children learn how to visualize and work toward their goals by creating a plan.
"The program has the kids do exactly what I did when I was 9, declare a dream, draw it and write it down," said Eason. "So the story relates right to them."
