CHANGES AT VIONNET?: Three months after the sale of Vionnet to Go to Enterprise Sarl, headed by the London-based Goga Ashkenazi, sources in Milan say creative directors Barbara and Lucia Croce are currently discussing their future at the storied fashion house after clashes with Ashkenazi. The spring 2013 collection is expected to regularly show in Paris on Sept. 28, but a well-placed source said it will be designed by an in-house team. Ashkenazi, who is from Kazakhstan, took control of Vionnet in May, through an investment agreement that seeks to accelerate the development of the label. Previous co-owners Matteo Marzotto and his longtime friend and Marni chief executive officer Gianni Castiglioni, who acquired the brand in 2009, remain shareholders and maintain their operative roles.
Marzotto tapped the twin Croce sisters last October, succeeding Rodolfo Paglialunga.

A DOSE OF REALITY FROM AEO: American Eagle Outfitters is getting real for its next ad campaign.
The retailer will use real people in its back-to-school ads slated to debut on July 23. Called “Live Your Life,” it will feature 15 men and women with a unique sense of style wearing American Eagle jeans. They include a magazine editor, surfer, contractor, pro basketball player, student, actress and artist.
“The ‘Live Your Life’ campaign is about celebrating individual style and putting the customer at the center of our brand,” said Michael Leedy, chief marketing officer. “Each member of the campaign shows off a unique denim fit and the multitude of looks you can build with a great pair of jeans and our colorful tops and accessories.”
Also on July 23, the retailer will kick off a contest for customers to be featured in the spring 2013 campaign. They will be asked to submit a photo, answer personal style questions and solicit votes via social networks. The 250 people with the highest votes in each of the 15 jean fits will be displayed on the American Eagle Web site and mobile app, and the company will select one winner a week in each category for four weeks. A public vote on Aug. 30 will determine the nine women and two men who will be used in the spring campaign. They will also receive a cash prize.
The “Live Your Life” advertising will run on national broadcast and cable stations The print component will include Cosmopolitan, Nylon, People StyleWatch, Seventeen, Teen Vogue and Us Weekly. It will run on digital sites such as Hulu, Facebook and YouTube, and billboards are set for Times Square and SoHo in New York.

HONG KONG (AP) — A Filipino maid in Hong Kong won the opening legal battle in her fight for permanent residency after a court ruled Friday that an immigration provision excluding the city's hundreds of thousands of foreign maids was unconstitutional..
Several dozen people protested outside the courthouse against the maids and their supporters as the ruling was released. They carried placards accusing Filipinos of stealing jobs and chanted "Civic Party betrayed Hong Kong!" — a reference to pro-democracy legislators who backed the maids.
Last year, about 120,000 of Hong Kong's foreign maids were from the Philippines, according to Philippine government figures. Indonesians account for much of the rest, but exact figures weren't available.
The maids are paid a minimum monthly wage of Hong Kong 3,740 dollars ($480 dollars) and work six days a week. The money they send home is a big source of income for their families.
According to the Philippine government, workers in Hong Kong accounted for $312 million of the $18.8 billion sent home by expatriate workers last year, or about 10 percent of the country's annual gross domestic product.
Both sides will return to court on Oct. 26, when the government will apply for the ruling to be temporarily suspended while it appeals, Secretary for Security Ambrose Lee said.
Two similar cases involving five Filipino helpers are set to go before the courts in October.

Saints Most Indispensible Players, 1-5
3/ Malcolm Jenkins (free agent in 2015)
Jenkins’ value shot up in one game – the way the secondary fell apart in the playoffs really showed just what Jenkins meant to the defense. His ability to cover for mistakes that not only he makes but that others on the unit was unmatched this season.
Defensive coordinator Gregg Williams’ eyes always seem to get bigger and his smile gets wider when talking about Jenkins. In just two seasons, it has become obvious that the youngster from Ohio State was a steal in the 2009 draft even at No. 14.
Jenkins plays almost every position in the secondary, starting games at free safety, moving to nickel and occasionally he be called into action at cornerback if the situation calls for it. He’s one of the few safeties in the league who can cover as well as most cornerbacks.
And yes, there’s the playoff game. Strong safety Roman Harper is fantastic against the run – and there’s an undercurrent amongst myself and, well, myself to see him move to outside linebacker – but his deficiencies in pass coverage were completely and utterly exposed against Seattle. Jenkins can cover for some of these mistakes.

Baby delivered on Albuquerque freeway
Dispatchers assist in birth of baby girl
A baby was delivered in a car on the side of an Albuquerque freeway.
A.
It worked, and an ambulance soon took them to Lovelace Women's Hospital.
"With all the crazy stuff going on, it's good to have a glimmer of hope -- something that's a sparkle of light," said Andrew Milligan.
Brinna was described as a determined baby.
"(She's a) very determined little girl already. She's going to know what she wants. She's going to know how to get things done. She is such a blessing, and she's going to go so far," said Deanne Milligan.

(ATLANTA) -- A Maryland man has died of rabies after receiving an infected donor kidney 16 months ago, prompting the Centers for Disease Control to test three other recipients of organs from the same donor.
The CDC said the additional recipients, who received organs including the heart, lungs and kidney from the infected donor, were being tested for rabies and given anti-rabies vaccinations and immune globulin as a preventative measure.
Maryland state health officials had called in the CDC after the man's death to determine if the cause of his rabies infection was linked his kidney transplant. CDC officials discovered the same strain of rabies in tissues from both the organ donor and the recipient who died.
CDC spokesperson Barbara Reynolds said the donor had signs of encephalitis or brain swelling at the time of death, but was not tested for rabies because of the rarity of the illness and the length of time it would take for the test to be conducted. There was no information on the official cause of death of the organ donor.
"There is not a viable test at this point in the time frame that this is done," said Reynolds of the short window when organs are usable for transplant. "Rabies is rare as a human disease in the U.S. It would be extremely rare to occur to organ recipients."
Rabies only affects a handful of Americans each year. Although thousands may be exposed to the illness, if treated with preventative measures and vaccines they will not contract the infection. However if not treated preemptively, the rabies virus is almost always lethal.
In 2004 three people died after receiving organs from a donor infected with rabies in Texas. According to the CDC that was the first known time rabies was transmitted through solid organ donation, though the disease has been known to be transmitted through cornea transplants.
Doctors were also confounded by the excessively long incubation time in this case. While rabies usually has an incubation period of one to three months, the Maryland man who received the infected kidney showed no signs of the disease for 16 months after the transplant.
Dorry Segev, a transplant surgeon at Johns Hopkins Hospital who was not involved with this case, said that it was not uncommon to transplant organs from a donor that was suffering an unspecified infection with symptoms such as encephalitis.
"Often it's not possible to get a definite diagnosis, then you have to use your judgment," said Segev. "There are certainly donors used every year, where there was a possibility that the donor died of an infectious encephalitis and the organs were used."
Segev says that because of the rare number of rabies cases and lack of information about rabies transmission through organ transplantation, it is unclear whether the other organ recipients would also be infected.
"This is an unusual situation, no one knows if there 100 percent transmission of rabies from donor to recipient," said Segev.

Hands on Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat with my Aspire One a110
Today I've installed, on my Acer Aspire a110 (8GB) the last release of Ubuntu for netbook: Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat
The installation process has taken:
- 60 minutes to download Ubuntu from ubuntu.com
- 10 minutes to create a bootable pen drive
- 45 minutes to install ubuntu on the Aspire One
The startup time is about the same in Ubuntu 10.04
The first thing that I've seen is the new GUI: Unity.
This new GUI is very interesting because it gives you a lot of space for your applications. It uses the same schema of Macintosh, it shares the same menu bar for all the opened applications, and also it adds a dock on the left side of the screen. This layout is very useful but I think that this GUI is too young and it has to be enhanced.
I tried to print some document on the Xerox Document Centre 420 (on the LAN) and I can say that it works fine with driver for Xerox Document Centre 400 printer.
Both Ethernet and Wifi connections work well.
The Evolution mail client now is super fast, and for me this enhancement is enough to switch to this new ubuntu release.
Gg1
what settings for the hdd have you used??I have used the 8 GB ssd disk..when i restart after end of installation i see only a black screen with an underscore..after the install i have set the bios with the ssd disk as first device..the same error for two times..can you help me?
(sorry for bad english)
Tomorrow I'll publish some screenshots with my Aspire BIOS configuration.
Anyway make sure to remove any usb pendrive before rebooting your Aspire.
Gg1
Matteo see this post () for the BIOS configuration.

Samsung Electronics has quietly began to hire various chip specialists from Advanced Micro Devices, according to a media report that is confirmed by filings in social networks. The semiconductor company is reportedly working on server-class microprocessors based on ARM architecture, which will eventually put Samsung into competition with AMD, Intel and many other companies.
Patrick Patla, who until very recently was vice president of AMD and general manager of AMD Opteron business unit, now serves as a vice president of Samsung Electronics in Austin, Texas area. Apparently, Mr. Patla is not the only former AMD employee to land in Samsung. Ex-AMD employees reportedly say Samsung has been hiring AMD processor designers and installing them in its Austin, Texas design offices in an effort to build server processors rivaling Intel’s Xeon products, reports Forbes web-site.
While the details are scarce, it is now expected that Samsung is working on ARM-based microprocessors for servers. The chips are projected to be very energy-efficient, yet powerful enough to compete against products like AMD Opteron and Intel Xeon. It is noteworthy that since Samsung does not have experience in developing server-class system-on-chips, it is likely that the final project will materialize years from now.
how powerful such microprocessors will be powerful enough to compete against x86 in terms of raw performance.
Many of former employees of AMD and ATI Technologies have left the company in the recent year after long-time executive Dirk Meyer stepped down early in 2011 and then Rory Read was appointed on the chief executive officer position in August.
AMD and Samsung Electronics did not comment on the news-story.

With this simple aphorism, keyboardist/vocalist Zach Gill sums up the unique dynamic that defines ALO (Animal Liberation Orchestra). Born from a friendship nurtured during their days at the University of California Santa Barbara, the four-piece collective includes Steve Adams (bass/vocals), Dan Lebowitz (guitars/percussion.
Zach, Dan and Steve have been playing together in various incarnations of different musical groups for years, forming the "Animal Liberation Orchestra and the Free Range Horns" with their college jazz band director on drums. Originally a nine-piece outfit, the band began drawing enormous attention in the Santa Barbara area with their rousing stage shows. When Zach, Dan and Steve returned to their hometown San Francisco, they stripped back down to a quartet, playing with a wide variety of different drummers. Finally, in 2002, the trio reunited with drummer David Brogan (with whom they had previously played in college) and the ultimate version of ALO was solidified.
ALO was quickly labeled the golden child of the West Coast's buzzing underground scene, never losing the garage band energy that makes every one of their shows an event rather than just a performance, laying soulful melodies and swirling improvisation over precision funk grooves night after night. The band skillfully weaves quirky California soul with shape-shifting explorations, introspective lyrics with sun-soaked funk, all infused with the uplifting vibe that ALO's ever growing legion of fans live for. Many genres have been thrown around to capture what the San Francisco Chronicle ultimately dubbed "sex-music boogaloo."
But in the end, ALO's sound is always changing. One thing that never changes, however, is the fact that this is a band composed of four top-notch musicians at the top of their game. Trained equally in the classics, jazz, pop and funk craftsmanship, ALO's music is a hybrid of the best of all worlds - songs composed, refined and performed by multi-talented artists with a passion for quality musicianship and creativity in all they do. Dan concurs, "All four of us share a real interest in continually learning about music - new styles, new ways of playing, new ways of engaging an audience - and that's something that we never want to stop."
And, indeed, engaging the audience is what ALO is all about. Each of the band members can list many favorite "live" moments in which the group and their fans have bonded in concert. There have been numerous times when the band would bring out an "applause meter" for their encore, then play ten-second snippets of songs and allow the audience to "vote" on which song the band would ultimately play.
Their recent California Tour d'Amour culminated in Santa Barbara with an event extravaganza dubbed the Silky Sensuous Ball that ended up resembling a psychedelic high school prom. Or their show at San Francisco's famed Independent club, where they broke the venue's all-time sales record and then proceeded to whip the crowd into a climactic disco frenzy with their own unique take on ABBA's "Dancing Queen."
"At an ALO show, we want to create a happy, uplifting environment - a safe place for the audience to feel free to be themselves," says Zach.
From band's website
10 Questions for David Brogan of ALO
By Bruce Warren
Our listeners are already asking... how did the band come up with the name of the band?
Three out of the four of us were music majors at UC Santa Barbara. At the time the music department was very conservative, with little room for jazz or rock music - our main passions. The name of the band is kind of an idea against that. As if, in the middle of a classical orchestra concert, everyone turned into animals and started dancing around in a wild frenzy. At the time the band was a nine piece with a horn section - so it was a little closer to an orchestra than it is now.
Does the band mind being lumped in to the "jam band" genre?
We certainly don't mind being a part of the "jam band" scene; we've worked hard to get our music out to that audience, and part of what we do naturally appeals to them. I'm not sure I'd call "jam band" a genre, though. For any band in that scene, I can think of a better genre description than "jam band." I'd call ALO "eclectic groove-rock." That sounds more like a genre to me.
If you can speak for some of your bandmates, what are some of your all-time favorite records you personally like to listen to.
Everyone in the band is into different things. Zach's into piano-based singer-songwriters (Billy Joel, Randy Newman, Ben Folds). Dan's into soul jazz (Grant Green, Wes Montgomery). Steve and I are really into roots rock (Neil Young, The Band, Donna The Buffalo), but if you're talking collectively I'd list three albums that we all probably dig equally: Back To The Grotto by The Mother Hips, The Royal Scam by Steely Dan, and It's A Jungle In Here by Medeski, Martin and Wood.
I read that the San Francisco Chronicle dubbed what ALO do as "sex-music boogaloo." What the heck does that mean? Do you think people have sex to your music or do the boogaloo to your music?
If someone ended up having sex to our music it's only because they started off with Bebel Gilberto, and we were the next disc in the changer. Actually, I'd be honored to be in the same CD changer with Bebel. To me, that's sexy. Actually, make it Bebel, Jill Scott and Kylie Minogue.
How'd you connect with Jack Johnson's label?
We met Jack in college. He was in the dorms with Steve, Dan, and Zach. Whenever our paths would cross, on the road, he'd sit in on "Girl, I Wanna Lay You Down." Then we got him to record it with us on the album. We opened for him on his national tour this year, and it all just naturally led to signing with his label. Jack is the most responsible for making it all happen.
Here are some drummer questions... Do you have any favorite drummers?
Well, all the usual Gods of the Drum pantheon of course. We know who they are. Two I'd like to mention though are John Wright from No Means No and Levon Helm from The Band. I love John Wright because he rocks with a punk energy, but he plays intricate Neil Peart-type licks. He's a perfect hybrid of punk and jazz drumming. That's just something I identify with on a deep level. And I love Levon because he played and sang with such soul, simultaneously! As a singing drummer, I have to admire that.
There must be a drum fill or drum break that you've heard on a record and gone, "wow, I wish I invented that one." Are there one or two of those that you can share with us?
"The Funky Drummer" - James Brown, drums by Clyde Stubblefield. Everybody that hears this break wishes they played it, but it's enough to just be thankful that it exists. Sampled and used in every other rap track from 1990 to 1995, for good reason. It grooves on the deepest level. I could practice that beat for 100 years and never get it right. Clyde Stubblefield should win a MacArthur "Genius" award or maybe a Nobel Prize.
Any Ringo Starr fill. I'll never have that much character in my playing. Talk about an unmistakable sound, talk about a calling card - those drum fills are iconic. Ringo's playing is often sampled and imitated as well. I think he was a very powerful sonic force in The Beatles.
The Seventies or the Eighties? And Why?
The Seventies. And not just the seventies but 1971. Why? Blue by Joni Mitchell, Hunky Dory by David Bowie, Tupelo Honey by Van Morrison.
Who are some great local bands in the Bay Area that our listeners should know about?
Hot Buttered Rum String Band - kick ass bluegrass songs with twists and a youthful, anything-goes rock aesthetic. Tea Leaf Green - West Coast swamp rock with pastoral lyrics in the lineage of The Mother Hips. I'd call it California soul. Hella rockin'... The Court and Spark - dreamy, atmospheric, cinematic country-folk-rock. They make luscious recordings with lots of pedal steel guitar. Neil Young on opium. General Elektriks. Masterminded in Oakland by Herve Salters, they rock mainly in France, but they're about to be released in the US by Quannum Records. Driven by funky vintage keyboards and creative drum loops. Money Mark meets Radiohead meets Remy Chand meets The Headhunters. The East Bay always has been the funk capitol of the West Coast. Still is.
Finally, a question all drummers think about. Do you ever worry about spontaneously combusting while performing?
This joke is more appropriate than you might think. ALO has had at least seven drummers over the years. I already spontaneously combusted, in '96. It wasn't that bad, really. You should try it!
ALO's CD Fly Between Falls was released this year, and is distributed by Brushfire Records.

Grounds Compost Tea Study
Yale’s Compost Tea Study is a collaborative initiative between students and faculty from the School of Forestry and Environmental Studies, Yale Grounds and Maintenance, and the Office of Sustainability. This project demonstrates how the campus can be engaged as a living laboratory. Blue markers in eight locations across the campus identify plots of soil that are being used to assess the impact of using compost tea as a soil amendment. The joint pilot project monitors four different treatment protocols that will compare the effects of a compost tea amendment, made from Yale’s composted food waste, versus current treatment methods on the ecology of the soil. The above and below ground response to the four treatments will be assessed by students.
Healthy soils absorb more water, filter urban pollutants, and sequester carbon from the atmosphere. Measuring both soil and vegetation responses will not only provide information relevant to ecosystem function but also will have useful implications for landscape management on campus.

Fenway Victory Gardens | Local Treasure
Aimee SeaveyBoston Skyline and Fenway Victory Gardens
Aimee SeaveyPlot in Fenway Victory Gardens
Imagine walking down a narrow outdoor path, bordered high on both sides by lush gardens. It leads to another path, then another, each winding through climbing rosebushes and past tidy vegetable beds , while bees and butterflies flit overhead. The sun is warm, and the heady aroma of blossoms and fresh soil fills the air–and then, a moment later, so does the unmistakable sound of the crowd at Fenway Park.No, you’re not in the country–you’re smack in the middle of Boston, and the emerald glade through which you’re strolling is the Richard D. Parker Memorial Victory Gardens, known simply as the “Fenway Victory Gardens.”
What makes this place unique is not just its location but its survival. Established during World War II in response to the nationwide appeal for families and communities to plant “victory gardens” for food, the Fenway, with seven acres just steps from the ballpark, was one of 49 spaces in and around Boston that answered the call. When the war ended in 1945, the Fenway gardens (along with Minneapolis’ Dowling Community Garden) soldiered on while others disbanded.
But that’s not to say the road wasn’t rocky. The Fenway gardens, tilled since 1942, survived largely because of Richard D. Parker and a “sturdy group” of fellow gardeners, who formed the Fenway Garden Society (FGS) in 1944 and fought for decades to thwart attempts to develop the parkland for residential or commercial use. In 1979, the gardens were officially renamed in his honor, and today, the landmark Prudential building, just a few blocks east, towers over the Fenway’s more than 500 plots.
Right after the war, the gardens were almost exclusively floral, but in recent years roughly a quarter of them have harkened back to their roots (so to speak), growing herbs, fruits, and vegetables. Gardeners range from old to young, seasoned to novice, but all meet the core member requirements: They’re Boston residents, pay just $30 a year per plot, and promise to take good care of it.
“It’s a great time to be here at the gardens and doing what we love to do,” says Mike Mennonno, 2012 Fenway Garden Society Executive Board president. “For a lot of our gardeners, this is their only yard, and it’s a joy to see them bringing their excitement and energy to the gardens and building this amazing community.”
Inclusivity is important, so the gardens feature an area outfitted with ADA-compliant raised beds. There’s a teaching garden, as well, plus workshops for new gardeners and community participation days that foster camaraderie and cleanup. Gardeners also partner with the Greater Boston Food Bank to provide local soup kitchens with surplus produce; the acreage is also home to a plot managed by Boston University’s gastronomy students.
The Fenway might have begun as a way for the local community to contribute to a patriotic wartime goal, but today, community itself is the main objective, along with cultivating a passion for gardening. “The gardens don’t work without a dedicated and involved community to keep them going,” Mennonno notes–and as the lovingly tended landscape and a long membership waiting list show, both the gardens and their community will continue to bring beauty to the Fenway area for decades to come.

Suspects caught looting at home of flood victims
By JASON PATTERSON
Editor & Publisher
An observant neighbor helped catch a pair of suspects from attempting to steal from flood victims on Whites Lane this week.
Sheriff Thomas Vaughan said a resident saw Keith Roland, 18, and Walter Lee Young, 18, both of 925 Grady Ave., loading items at a flood-damaged home.
“The neighbor blocked their vehicle in so they couldn’t leave, and called us,” Vaughan said. “Another resident also came and helped block them in.”
Deputies quickly arrived to make the arrest.
Both suspects are charged with grand larcey. Justice Court Judge Pam May set bond at $10,000 each.

I thought exercise was supposed to be good for you
Jamie Patterson Managing EditorI joined a local gym a few weeks ago so that should explain the skip in my step, and more importantly, the air in my head.
It dawned on me that I needed to eat a little healthier and exercise more than I do when I almost passed out on a brisk walk to my mailbox. Clinging to the box, it took my last bit of strength to grab my electric bill and slam the box door shut.
By the time I made it back to my porch, my dog was wondering if she should pull a Lassie and go get help from the neighbors.
My husband Jason and I are now official members of a gym.
I was so excited to join. They say your drive to really get in there and work out is at its all-time high in the very beginning. That must be the case because I purchased new shoes, dug out a cute gym bag and pulled out a few exercise pants and shirts that had never before seen the light of day.
Entering the gym my first week was a sight to behold. I strutted in the arena, gazing at the assortment of weight machines, bicycles, weights, tread mills and so forth. I did a light skip in the air, took a quick breath and dove onto the stationary bicycle.
I told myself that I would go six miles on the thing, and I was determined to meet my goal.
Thirty minutes later, while the sweat continued to fog up my contacts, I went to make my exit off the machine. Not realizing my new shoelaces were extremely long, one got caught up in the pedal and almost ripped my foot off as I tried to swing my leg over.
Playing it off, I did a sudden skip toward the walking track. The grandmother behind me shook her head. I couldn’t bare to pass her by again so I kept taking water breaks until she moved to another machine.
I have since adjusted my shoelaces.
While Jason was over at various weight machines, I decided that girls could do those things too. Mind you, I haven’t been on a weight machine since high school. As a basketball player, our coach insisted we lifted weights a few times a week.
I was a good defense player, not so hot on offense. My coach reminded of that every time we entered my high school weight room.
“Get on those leg weights,” he grunted. “Get on the calf raise machines. Do not work those arms. Focus on your legs. Your legs are what I want strong on the court.”
He even told me one time he better not see the ball in my hands any longer that five seconds. In other words, I was an awful shooter.
Reflecting back on my high school days, I got on the weight machines focused on the legs. I was doing great until I made my way to the hamstring curl machine.
That weight machine is beyond explanation. You have to lie on your stomach and stick your legs under this bar that you curl up and down with the weights.
And of course, when I get on it, a lady I know walks in. Mrs. Morrison greets me and begins various exercises on the weight machines. With seemingly little effort, she knows how to work every one of those confusing machines.
There I was on that machine that resembled a torture device from the Middle Ages.
And then it happened. I got a cramp in my leg and couldn’t move it. Losing control of my leg, the weight came crashing down, echoing through the gym.
I couldn’t move. I just laid there, on my stomach, looking ridiculous. I didn’t have the heart to ask anyone for help. While Mrs. Morrison sat next to me, I stayed there in silence, hoping she wouldn’t notice that my socks didn’t match or that I couldn’t move.
After a few seconds, I got feeling back in my legs and I quickly wiggled my way of that forsaken machine.
I didn’t tell Jason about it nor did I have the heart to even speak to Mrs. Morrison. I was ashamed, sore and embarrassed. I didn’t even tell Jason that I almost died on that machine, and that I am sure I did permanent damage.
I do hope no more “accidents” happen to me while at the gym. I want to stay motivated and continue my plans.
But I warn that you might you see me get thrown into a wall while exiting a tread mill. Dropping a weight on my foot is bound to happen. I may knock myself out on that arm curl machine. I may flip over a medicine ball. And I probably will squirt water up my nose at the water fountain.
Please just ignore me. I’m inspiring someone in there...I hope.

Benton Garden Club celebrates Christmas with luncheon
The Benton Garden Club celebrated Christmas with its luncheon and plant exchange. Pictured from left are hostesses Gigi Mathews, Paula Ohlmeyer and Shurley Rae Hearst.Special to The Herald
The Benton Garden Club met on Saturday, December 3, 2011 at the Benton Methodist Church Fellowship Hall.
The meeting was called to order by the club president, Gigi Mathews. A brief business session was held to discuss the success of the club bake sale that was held the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. Our visitors were welcomed and invited to join us again.
Each one had been requested to bring a plant from their yard if possible for exchange at the conclusion of the Christmas celebration, as well as hors d'oeuvres to contribute to the brunch.
The attractively decorated table was laden with Christmas goodies for all to enjoy. We were invited to join the hostesses in an adjoining room which had been prepared with white table linens adorned with red poinsettias, festive candles and Christmas music.
At the conclusion a plant exchange was held and door prizes were awarded.

Jii allows you to encode models - and their relations - variables (strings, integers, arrays, floats, booleans) and urls into their Javascript equivalents. You can also use Jii to store your Javascript functions without polluting the global scope. Since version 0.0.3beta, Jii allows you to perform some basic operation on Javascript models and introduces some functions to interact with Knockout js observables. The aim of this extensions is to keep your server side code as well as your client side one more maintainable. Moreover it aims to ease the process of sharing data beetween PHP and Javascript.
Yii 1.1 or above PHP 5 or above
Copy Jii folder to your applications protected/components folder. And add the following lines to your config/main.php.
'components' => array( ... 'jii' => array( 'class' => 'application.components.Jii.Jii', // uncomment the following // if you do not want to use the minified version // 'script' => 'jii-0.0.4.js', ), ... ),
Adding Jii to your page is easy and can be done as follows:
Yii::app()->clientScript->registerScript('jii', Yii::app()->jii->getScript(), CClientScript::POS_END);
You can add params, urls, models and functions to Jii as follows:
// adding params // you can use any kind of php variable Yii::app()->jii->addParam('your_param', 10); // adding urls Yii::app()->jii->addUrl('view_test_url', $this->createUrl('test/view')); // adding functions Yii::app()->jii->addFunction('function', 'function(){ alert("This is an alert!"); }');
As regards CActiveRecord instances (or class instances inheriting from CModel), you can select which attribute you want Javascript have access to by adding the following method to each of the CActiveRecord class files you wish to convert ...
... public function getJsonizeables() { return array( 'attribute_label_1', 'attribute_label_3', 'attribute_label_4', ); } ...
... and then you can use the following code to add it to Jii:
$jsonized_model = Yii::app()->jii->jsonize($model); // adding models to jii Yii::app()->jii->addModel('model', $jsonized_model);
Since version 0.0.3beta, Yii::app()->jii->addModel() accepts models and dataproviders as well as jsonized data:
$model = new Model(); Yii::app()->jii->addModel('javascript_model', $model);
Since jii 0.0.2 you can jsonize CActiveDataProviders as you do with model instances or model arrays:
$jsonized_data_provider = Yii::app()->jii->jsonize($data_provider); // adding data provider to jii Yii::app()->jii->addModel('model', $jsonized_data_provider);
You can add any function that needs to be executed after the page has finished loading with the following code:
Yii::app()->jii->addBindings('function(){ // the following alert will be shown after // page has finished loading alert("Hello world!"); }');
Sometimes you may need to perform additional operation on models' attributes values before passing them to Javascript. In such cases, you can jsonize custom attributes in the following way. Create or add to the model/model's you wish to jsonize the getJsonizeables method and add to the array a custom attribute name such as custom_attribute_1. After that, create a public method named getcustom_attribute_1() which performs some operation over one ore more model attributes and return a value.
... public function getJsonizeables() { return array( 'attribute_label_1', 'attribute_label_3', 'attribute_label_4', ... 'custom_attribute_1', ); } // the following method allows you to jsonize custom attributes public function getCustom_attribute_1() { return $this->_performSomeOperation($this->attribute_label_1); } ...
Since version 0.0.3beta each Jii model is an object providing the following methods:
/** * Finds one model instance based on the specified attribute * @param object {attribute: "attribute_name", value: attribute_value} * @return object or null if none object is found */ jii.models.javascript_model.findByAttribute(); // the Javascript object representation of a jii Model jii.models.javascript_model.toJS(); // the number of model instances found jii.models.javascript_model.count();
Since Jii 0.0.3beta you will have at your disposition a couple of functions:
/** * Converts a jii model into an Knockout observable * @param object model * @return observable */ jii.utils.observable(); // the same as above except that it returns an observable array jii.utils.observableArray();
2012-12-14 jii 0.0.4
2012-12-13 jii 0.0.3beta
2012-12-12 jii 0.0.3beta
2012-12-10 jii 0.0.2
Total 10 comments
I have just moved a few comments about further or future implementations or request for support of particular features to Jii forum page, in order to make it easier for us to discuss about any topic. Nonetheless I would like to thank you for your feedback, which I always appreciate: thank you. :)
+1 for the forum page (github, roadmap suggestion etc...)
You could also include support for ko mapping plugin, its very good for complex models (ie. nested models).
I haven't tested your code yet, as I already use my own encoding with mapping plugin. Basicly I convert model into array and then encode into json and then pass it to ko.mapping. It supports deeply nested models, arrays of models, just any complex object.
@Cherif Thank you. That is clear. Even if I do not think that behaviors are a suitable approach to this extension (there are a few reasons that it would take to long to explain outside a forum), I think that what you are looking for - and that perhaps will be useful to others and to me too - can be achieved in the following way (of course it actually requires a little more typing:
On your Javascript code:
Anyway I think Jii could become in a near future a Javascript library for Yii. I suggest we use Jii forum page for further comments on this issue: in this way we hopefully will benefit from other people's opinions and suggestions. Many thanks :D
@AustinGeek Well, If you need to encode models to JSON you can use Jii Jsonizer:
If your aim is to decode JSON data into models you can create your own CModel classes defining your custom attributes and validation rules, than you can:
Nice!
I have an external site I need to extract data from and will probably push data to in the future. They have a great API that is REST-FUL and return JSON formatted data. I just don't know how to deal with all the data I get back from the api calls.
The behavior extends CActiveRecordBehavior or CModelBehavior is to place where I suggest to put the code for this extension I want to generate Models for Knockout and convert the Model.attributes to observables and relations (HAS_MANY, MANY_MANY) to obervableArray consider this extension to have an idea ejsonbehavior.
Hope it helps
Thank you for your comment Cherif. I never went deep into behaviours, that is why I'd like you could explain with a few more words which way they could make this extensions easier to use and to maintain. Furthermore I see behaviors as something that can deviate the application flow under particular conditions. But I am not able to identify which conditions you could be thinking about.
Thank you for this, but I suggest to think about it as a behavior will be much easier to use and maintain.
Thank you for your comment. :D I am mainly using knockout js as a Javascript library and this extension have been developed to ease Yii to knockout interactions. I guess this aswers your question. Anyway, I still haven't planned future developements yet, so I am open to and I will appreciate any contribution.
Hi Excellent extension, I can stop wondering if this extension is linked to a much broader prject as using it with frameworks like Backbone ? or other . If it is I'd really be interested in particiapting :) Cheers

Two Iranian naval ships arrived Wednesday afternoon at the Port of Lattakia in Syria, after crossing the Suez Canal Tuesday, Iranian news agency IRNA reported.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also
commented on
the act, saying "We can see what an unstable region we live in, an area in which Iran is trying to take advantage of the situation that has arisen and broaden its influence by transferring two warships via the Suez Canal."
"Israel takes a grave view of this Iranian step," he said, adding the Jewish state would need to boost defense spending as a result of Tehran's move and recent regional upheaval.
Iran's deputy army commander, Abdolrahim Mousavi, was quoted by IRNA on Tuesday," he said.
According to Iranian news agency FARS, the Kharg supply ship can transport 33,000 tons of cargo and carry up to 250 crewmembers and three helicopters. The frigate Alvand is equipped with torpedo missiles and other anti-ship missiles.

Western diplomats describe first day of nuclear talks in Kazakhstan as 'useful,' but say Iranian negotiators did not immediately respond to P5+1's demand that Tehran close underground Fordo facility

Major powers offered Iran limited sanctions relief in return for a halt to the most controversial part of its atomic work during the first day of nuclear
talks on Tuesday, and Iran
promised to respond with a proposal on the same scale.

Iran has used the time since the last meeting in June to further expand activity that the West suspects is aimed at enabling it to build a nuclear bomb, something that Israel has suggested it will prevent by force if diplomacy fails.
"Hopefully the Iranians will be able to reflect overnight and will come back and view our proposal positively," said a spokesman for European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton
who oversees Iranian diplomacy for the six powers.

"It is clear that nobody expects to come from Almaty with a fully done deal," the EU spokesman, Michael Mann, said before the meeting started.

In Almaty, a source close to the Iranian negotiators told reporters: "Depending on what proposal we receive from the other side we will present our own proposal of the same weight. The continuation of talks depends on how this exchange of proposals goes forward."
Iran's foreign ministry spokesman last week dismissed the reported incentive as insufficient and a senior Iranian lawmaker has ruled out closing Fordo, close to the holy city of Qom.

Yoga Retreat
Deepening Your Ashtanga Yoga Practice: Finding Balance
Jan 26 - Feb 2, 2013
with Ron Reid and Marla Meenakshi Joy
About the Retreat
Our quest in yoga practice is a constant search for balance in all levels of our Being. Finding balance between the in-breath and the out-breath, harmonizing the left side and the right side of our bodies, understanding the kosha's (sheaths) and how they play a role in this process, plus learning to integrate our inner practice with our outer practice, all take us closer to the heart of yoga: union.
In this one week retreat we will weave the theme of balance; exploring the challenging heating vinyasa qualities of Ashtanga Yoga and the cooling practices of Restorative Yoga, Yoga Nidra, Chanting (Healing mantra's), Pranayama and Meditation.

As York Region’s elementary teachers head to the polls for their strike vote tomorrow night, classrooms, staff rooms and family rooms are increasingly divided over the prolonged school labour dispute.
Unions aren’t just battling with the province, but teachers are clashing over whether or not to cancel extracurriculars and parents disagreeing on how to deal with the loss of school clubs and teams.
Tomorrow’s vote for the region’s 4,800 elementary teachers will take place at Markham Fairgrounds, the first time in the federation’s history the entire region votes together.
Local president David Clegg is predicting record-high support for a strike mandate in keeping with what’s occurring elsewhere in the province.
Many teachers say they’re angry, not so much with the province’s wage freeze under Bill 115, but the loss of collective bargaining rights and the changes to sick day benefits.
Roxiane Alexander, a Richmond Hill resident and elementary teacher in Toronto, said the legislation “essentially stole teachers’ sick bank, which believe it or not we need because we get sick when parents send their children to school ill instead of keeping them home”.
A strike mandate doesn’t necessarily mean teachers will walk off the job. Bill 115 allows the education ministry to step in to prevent or stop a strike. But it sends a strong message to the province, Mr. Clegg said, and sets the stage for ramped-up protests by teachers.
So far, that has been limited to demonstrations at Queen’s Park and sporadic withdrawal of extracurricular activities, but teachers are looking ahead to what’s next on the unions’ agenda.
There is speculation that report cards may be the next target. Under the Education Act, the site supervisor, who may be the principal, is ultimately responsible for reporting students’ progress to parents, but the reporting job is usually taken on by teachers.
“It’s done on their own time, and they can’t force you to report beyond the instructional day,” Ms Alexander said.
Meanwhile, some teachers say there’s growing strife in school staff rooms as pressure grows to withhold volunteer work.
Carla Silver is a Richmond Hill resident and music teacher who does not want to stop volunteering with her school’s bands, orchestra and volleyball team “because I have to live with myself”.
Extracurricular activities are often the only way students can put music theory into practice, she said, but she and other teachers have felt pressure from union supporters to stop.
Other teachers report staff room clashes over militant approaches.
Ms Silver said her solution involved writing open letters to the premier, her MPP and the Minister of Education, as well as the media. She is not anti-union, she said, but doesn’t believe children should be used as bargaining chips.
“I’m not going fight their way, I’m going to fight my own way... It’s extremely disheartening. We teach anti-bullying and then we’re bullying each other.
“My kids are great. I love them and I can’t feel good about myself if I don’t give it my best.“
At the same time, parents are struggling with how — or if — they should help.
For teacher Ms Alexander, there’s no question they should step in. Parental backlash against the loss of extracurriculars is evidence of what she calls mollycoddling.
“It just would really nice for the public to appreciate us instead of demanding more. We give you all-day kindergarten and after-school activities and at what point are you going to start parenting your own children?
“God forbid they have to do something with their children after school!”
Losing a school prom or baseball event is not victimizing students, she said, and it’s easily solvable.
“Rent a space, organize something.”
But Diane Rundle, a Stouffville parent volunteer who also feels unappreciated, said it’s not that easy.
A regular volunteer at Summitview Public School, Ms Rundle said parents have tried to fill the gap, but were told a teacher needed to be present.
“The gymnasiums and music rooms are sitting empty and we paid for them as taxpayers... What’s the point of having all these instruments with no band, why big stages if no drama? We poured $35 million into Crothers (high school); they have five gyms, three work-out rooms and they could be sitting empty? You’re kidding me. So give us the resources then.”

Do MPs deserve a private life?
It has disturbed me recently to hear my friends laughing at EyeSpyMP.com. Does giving your life to public service mean that every aspect of your private life is subject to public scrutiny? I personally do not feel the need to know when my MP goes to the barber’s, has a pint or visits the loo.
Sally Bercow has now entered into the argument; pointing out that her movements have been followed despite not being an MP herself; but the wife of an MP and a resident of the Houses of Parliament. However, Mrs Bercow IS standing to be an elected representative; and not only this, she put herself firmly in the limelight by launching her political career with a tell-all story in the Evening Standard, and continues to Tweet on her day-to-day life as the Speaker’s wife. Does this exclude her to the right to keep some of her life private? I don’t think so.
She gave her interview in order to take control of what the press might publish about her past, a perfectly good strategy which appears to have worked. This is information that she chose to share with the world, this does not mean that she has to share everything in her future.
If want to have politicians in the future who are one dimensional, who have had sheltered lives, who have not experienced those things that the average person has, then we are going the right way about it. As due to this pressure from the press, and the now additional 24-hour, multi-faceted surveillance from the blogosphere, potential politicians will be faced with the choice of giving up their chosen career paths or to refrain from letting their hair down for fear that it will end up common, misrepresented knowledge within minutes, or in years to come.
The people we elect to run our communities and our country, and their families, deserve to be able to keep their personal lives private; indeed they must if they are to remain sane in the increasingly pressurised and crazy world of politics.

2011 Scholarship Entry #113: Jordan Sekiya/
Addressing the concerns of the individual in a globally aware society is a daunting challenge for anyone currently looking towards the future. In any area of study, the problem that arises is always what affects our world at the individual level. From the individual, sights are set higher at the local, national and even global level. I am proud to be a science geek, and one of many individuals undertaking the task of helping the individuals who make up the much larger global community.
With a major in Biological Sciences (primarily immunological studies) as well as a minor in English, I wish to be an active member of the science community; especially if I am able to complete a Masters of Public Health. Studying the history behind past diseases, in addition to the current threats to our bodies, provides the framework for future research and skill development with regards to infectious diseases. This area of science is relevant not only to humans, but also to the flora and fauna of the world. The effect of pathogens on an entire ecosystem is what makes this area so applicable and interesting to study. What happens to one species can be used infer ideas about related organisms. How all these bodies react to, and overcome, a specific infectious disease is what really drives me to succeed in this area.
It is my goal to make science accessible and relevant to the public and to garner curiosity and a sense of involvement with the science world. The breadth of my research would not only touch the lives of those at a local and national level, but perhaps even globally. Clear communication of ideas, coupled with the act of affecting others individually is what I hope to accomplish. Health concerns, and the emergence of bacteria, viruses and parasites that evolve just as we do are not the only concerns that need to be addressed; science literacy and the capacity to make informed judgements concerning such threats will make the future less daunting. Arming individuals not only with the means to help themselves, but others as well, creates a more globally (and in this case, scientifically) aware society. The creation of a safe environment to question ideas and foster curiosity is important. Giving individuals information is the first step towards such a goal. Empowering the individual ultimately empowers the world. Making information accessible and relevant to everyone is just as important as developing the necessary vaccines and treatments to cope with the new lines of microbial threats that arise daily. I hope to one day use my passion in order to make ground in both of these areas. It is my duty to help, in whatever capacity I can, the individual so that he or she may work towards helping others. Helping the world on my own is a dream. Enabling my peers to help the world is an inevitability.

Obstacles of design: the client’s objections and perplexities
.
It’s becoming a common occurrence: that of the well-informed client (or at least who thinks so) who puts in doubt every choice of the designer, from the chromatic tonalities to the position of graphic elements; that of the client who continuously contrasts his product to that of competitors trying to find deficiencies in the work performed, etc. And, on the other hand, the designer who can’t handle properly this sort of customer base or motivate one’s own aesthetic choices satisfactorily.
A small planet of objections, recriminations and perplexities, in which working – and collaborating – often becomes frustrating. That’s something that translates into drafts not being accepted, modifications after modifications to be continuously made to the project, dissatisfaction on both sides.
Is there a way to avoid the client’s objections? Obviously there is no standard solution, we are all thinking beings, with distinctive taste and opinions, more or less objectionable. The standard procedure requires that, before the designing of any graphic project, a briefing be drafted containing, among other things, all the information regarding the aesthetic/chromatic/planning preferences of the client.
With the information obtained in this phase, you can create a general idea of the likes of the client and what he expects from our work. Starting a graphic project already knowing on which colors and style to concentrate on (or, vice versa, which colors to avoid) visibly limits the risk of creating a product diametrically opposed to the product requested by our client. And for which the client is obviously not willing to pay.
Which are some ‘typical’ objections a client could make?
Based on my experience and by reading here and there I have noticed some objections which we could, if we want, define as standard.
The intro page: love and hate
Web designers are users who surf daily and who spend a large part of their time on the web. Experience teaches, it is often said, and just because of that we are all ready not to recommend the creation of the classic intro, animated and with music on the background maybe, in favor of a ‘soft’ website and which guarantees an immediate access to the content.
If your client asks you for an intro page, do not challenge such a choice eliminating it completely with an ‘it’s out of date, nobody uses it any longer’, after all this is a consideration which could be deemed merely questionable. Give your client the possibility to experience himself/herself the pros and cons of such choice and let him/her always have the last say: your duty is to guide the clients towards the right choice, not to impose on them the one you consider as such.
Which are the cons of an intro? We all know that. It’s useless. If the website has captivating graphics there is no aesthetic reason for having an initial page that has no function of its own. Besides, the user has to click once more to reach the real website and find the stuff he/she is looking for. Which are the pros of an intro? Objectively, there are none. No subjective consideration, no ‘ugly’ or ‘out of date’, only a brief and clear analysis on the utility of this page.
The minimalist style: there’s no graphics
In Italy the minimalist style has a few followers, it’s a fact. At first impact the minimalist style can appear bare, cold, not so friendly. “But where is the graphics?” may a client ask. And you should answer that the graphics lies in the white spaces, in the treatment of typography, in the focus of contents. But for these concepts, alas, the time is not ripe yet.
Before you opt for a strongly minimalist layout, make sure that this choice is, on a communicative level, the best for the project you are working on. Here your personal taste or the trend of the moment have nothing to do: the website has to reflect the interiority of services/products offered by your client and has to do it the right way. If you think that the minimalist style is the right one, prepare some efficient samples to show to your client, test the ground by showing him some projects in this style, be prepared to explain the strengths and the main features of the latter.
I don’t like it
The objection of the objections. In front of a ‘I don’t like it’, as well as a less bloody ‘it’s not like I thought’, you need first to hang your head. Did we get something wrong, but what exactly? Maybe we have not completely understood the taste and the requirements of our client, or maybe we worked without reference information, or could be that we have once again put our fantasy and preferences before those of the person in front of us. Maybe we have created a fine product, the perfect union between grace and functionality, remains a fact that our client is not pleased with the outcome. And now?
Each contract should entail, in the initial price, a sum destined to cover the eventual modifications to be made to the project based on the corrections requested by the client. If we have to start from scratch again, you have to make a few considerations before taking action. The work you have performed is really the best you can offer, considering the budget and the requests of the client? Are you so sure that the quality of your work is result of information obtained and that the same one perfectly represents the product/service that the client wants to advertise online?
If the answer to these questions is yes and you are sure you have nothing to recriminate, nothing prevents you from making, against reimbursement, a second graphic draft. Careful not to make the same mistake twice, you’d lose the client and the credibility.
If instead, you think you have worked a little bit superficially maybe, without paying the necessary attention to the requirements and needs of your client, maybe you should admit to having worked amateurishly and improperly. And as a consequence you should assume all responsibility, even if this means a further loss of time and work.
Modifications, modifications, modifications. And again modifications.
Like I said, each contract foresees that the client might ask for some modifications on the design, in order to obtain the final version of the project. Attention, however: some, not indefinitely.
While submitting the draft, tell the client he can keep it for some days, in order to evaluate it and establish the eventual corrections to be made. Make sure that, once made the variations, the further modifications that will arise in another instance can be calculated separately: in this way you will be protected and won’t be obliged to make modification after modification each time that your client, maybe of a flighty temperament, will change his mind on the draft that was previously agreed on.
Conclusions
We have brought some examples of ‘disputes’ that might arise when we work with a client one on one. What objections have you received during your career and what kind of solutions have you adopted? Have you ever had to deal with a similar situation to those proposed in this article? If yes, how have you reacted? Let’s compare!

It really depends if the client wants a tweak or or animated gifs and marquees. If the client is stuck in 1995 and the budget allows I would recommend two different designs and use A/B testing. I think the more important issue is that the client doesn’t trust your judgement.
The hardest thing for me is convincing the client that I want what is best for their business without sounding like I am telling them how their business works.
e.g. If you go down this route then its probable that this will happen etc.

Petition for solar panels on Streatham Hub (From Your Local Guardian)

Eco group launches petition to put solar panels on Streatham Hub
8:30am Saturday 14th April 2012 in Top Stories By Sam Peoples
An eco-conscious community group is campaigning for developers to include solar panels on the roof of a multi-million pound housing and leisure complex.
Members of Transition Streatham are offering to finance the green additions to the Streatham Hub but are facing stiff opposition from officers at Lambeth Council, which promotes itself as the ‘co-operative’ borough.
The council told the group further delays to the project, which aims to provide 250 homes, a leisure centre and a Tesco store by 2013, would result in extra costs from contractors.
But campaigners maintain the changes will benefit the community in the long run.
They are hoping to drum up support for the proposals, which include plans for steam room and sauna at the leisure centre, through an online petition.
The group, a network of businesses and community groups, have established their own renewable energy company, Repowering Streatham, to provide the necessary alterations to the Hub.
Group member Scott Ainslie said: “The people of Streatham are not going to give up pushing.
“We are trying to talk about brokering a deal to see if we can do something about it. We are not going to settle for this.”
Jonathan Bartley, Green Party candidate for the Lambeth and Southwark seat at the London Assembly, who helped draft the proposals, added that the council had supported solar panel projects in Brixton but was refusing to back the campaign.
“Once again Streatham is being short-changed”, he said.
Liberal Democrat councillor Jeremy Clyne, who represents Streatham Hill ward, said the council was guilty of “dodging” the issue.
He said: “The issue of sustainability has been raised at several public meetings by Transition Streatham and the question was dodged by the council.
“As it has a massive flat roof, there is nothing stopping the council from putting solar panels on the roof of the leisure centre”.
But a council spokesman said sustainability was “at the heart” of the development and said it was “committed” to delivering a leisure facility which was powered by renewable energy.
He added that a sauna and steam room were never part of the development.
“Energy efficiency will be provided by a combined heat and power (CHP) based system which will deliver a considerable reduction in CO2 omissions and energy costs which draws on industry leading technology,” he said.

Olympic closing ceremony: Dancing with Darcy was “my gold medal” says Vicky
Date posted: 13-08-2012
THURROCK dancer, Vicky Lardner fulfilled the dream of a lifetime as she pirouetted with prima ballerina Darcy Bussell in the amazing closing ceremony of the Olympics.
Principal of Martell School of Dance, Vicky, spent months rehearsing for her special moment which came just before midnight.
Vicky said: “I was so so nervous but it was the chance and dance of a lifetime.
“The atmosphere was amazing, the colours, the music. I couldn’t believe I was just feet away from watching Queen and Jessie J before we came on.”
I was so pleased that we all danced so well. Afterwards, Darcy Bussell signed my ballet shoes.
“Injury at college prevented me from maximising my potential but for me, the closing ceremony gave me my personal gold medal.”
Thurrock residents were in the audience including YourThurrock reporters, Mike Jones and Lisa Chapman.
Mike said: “An amazing spectacle that got better and better. My personal highlight was Elbow playing whilst all the competitors came in. Heroes every one of them.
“We have to be so proud as a nation to have delivered such an Olympics and done it all with a smile on our faces.”

Our performance-focused music theatre camps are educational, fun and inspiring! We believe kids and teens can command their own audiences.
The summer program focuses on developing well-rounded performers who work as a team. Working with some of the top theatre educators in Chicagoland, the student experience includes skill-building, rehearsing for a final performance, and social/recreational activities designed to ensure a well-rounded summer camp experience. In 2013, we offer two programs:
- For our Pre-K thru 8th Grade students, THE WIZARD OF OZ – Camps for a variety of ages/experience levels and dates. Click here to read more, or to enroll now.

NEW FINANCIAL AID POLICY FOR SUMMER CAMPS 2013: Financial aid applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis after December 1. Our funds are limited, and the chances of getting aid may be lower if you wait. The application is available online, and takes only a few minutes. The information you provide is confidential.

Totem War
The news spread throughout Yslandia, an orb purifier has come from the sky to fall on the Totems.
“Inexplicably, I have witnessed this strange phenomenon.
Indeed, at midday, while I planted radishes in Tati, a terrible roar came from the heavens.
Petrified, my eyes remained stunned by this supernatural event.
I ran to see where the orb was falling, and it was a totem … it melted.
When the smoke had cleared, I realized that the pole had become neutral as to its origins. ”
Thus, balance is also a voice in Yslandia! …
“So I went to make inquiries of a sage, who confirmed that it had regained its balance. Thus, after a complete cycle of the sun, the poles go back to their natural state if they have not suffered any enemy attacks … ”
Totem War will not end here … no
(If a totem is not attacked by the enemy during a continuous period of 24 hours, then it returns to its origins)

#3 – Successful Case Management
Beyond Classical Homeopathy
This section will introduce a few examples of how cases can be successfully managed with or without the use of classical homeopathy or when the last is greatly enhanced with removal of blocks and obstacles.
In the author’s practice, these examples count in hundreds. The next three cases were chosen based on their close association as pathological entities.
In many (100%) of the cases, long-term follow-up has proven that this diagnostic-therapeutic system does not produce suppression or shifting of pathologies. Years of follow-up proved just the opposite: these patients, with the help of periodic maintenance, have remained in superior health and avoided progression to degenerative diseases.
These results are clearly superior to classical homeopathy alone or any other specialty. Certainly, patients’ cooperation is very important but this cooperation in the majority can be gained and sustained only when the assessment of the roots of their problems is accurate and convincing, while the results that follow are positive and rewarding.
A case of severe Fibromyalgia
A man in his seventies presented with severe fibromyalgia and excruciating musculoskeletal pains for over a year. In spite of taking anti-inflammatory agents prescribed by his rheumatologists, he was unable to sleep, move or sit because of the pain. Alternative therapies did not help. Other debilitating complaint included severe fatigue.
General appearance in the office: unable to get off a chair or walk on his own due to the agony of pain.
Bio-resonance testing: several toxicological and infectious agents residing in the musculoskeletal system and key immune organs. Severe exhaustion of endocrine system.
Treated with homeopathic isodes followed by the organ sarcodal and glandular support.
A positive response, at least 50% improvement, was immediate and the whole case progressed very rapidly.
Only in several visits, the patient has completely regained his lifestyle and engaged in athletic activities. Abnormal rheumatological blood tests became normal.
Classical homeopathic prescribing was unnecessary.
A case of severe Rheumatoid Arthritis
A frail lady in her mid-seventies has been crippled with rheumatoid arthritis for more than a decade with much pain, fatigue and debilitated lifestyle in spite of prednisone and anti-inflammatory medications. She also has suffered from significant osteoporosis and a severely herniated disc (side effects of prednisone) in her low back.
General appearance: posture of a pretzel shape, barely walks shuffling her feet.
Bio-resonance testing: multiple toxicological and infectious agents present locally in the joints and diffusely throughout the body. Excretory and endocrine organs were particularly weak and in light of this, isode therapy was postponed until her energy status improves.
Classical homeopathic prescribing with Rhus Tox in the lowest tolerable potency, 6X, as determined by the testing, to be taken daily for two weeks. Proper glandular organ support was added.
Follow-up two weeks later: definite mild improvement.
Bio-resonance testing: better energy reserve, better vitality. Proceed with isode-sarcode regimen aimed at multiple organs and tissues, discontinue Rhus Tox 6X.
Follow-up in two weeks: much better progress. During the subsequent, and only three month short clinical course, made a tremendous progress and was able to reduce her prednisone. This was impossible for her to accomplish for many years.
The pains became minimal, energy good and lifestyle best in many years. The Rhus Tox had to be administered only during an acute exacerbation of her herniated disc. Exactly the same episode in the past had required a hospitalization and high doses of IV cortisone to relieve the pain.
This time around, on a combination of Rhus Tox 1M (the potency was ascertained with Bio-resonance testing) taken acutely with intercurrent isode-sarcode treatment aimed at the underlying problems with her disc (for the residues of toxicological agent) the crisis was promptly abated within 24-48 hours.
With time the Rhus Tox stopped working, even in the higher potency and she would only respond to the isode/sarcode treatment alone as she continues to be able to reduce her fairly low dose of prednisone further and further.
Considering her very advanced stage of pathology and ripe age, she is doing extremely well and enjoying a good quality of life.
A case of musculoskeletal pains
A middle-aged woman presented with a complaint of having general body aches and feeling tired. Both were occurring every morning.
Bio-resonance testing: sleeps in an area of bad electromagnetic field.
Recommendation: move the bed.
Follow-up: recovered promptly. Years later, free of any discomfort. No other therapy was necessary.
A case of severe dermatitis
A middle-aged man suffered from annoying itch with severe burning, due to dermatitis for many years. Many natural treatments had failed and cortisone ointment helped only to contain exacerbations. He was thin, chilly and overall of poor resistance.
After careful repertorisation and eliciting a strange and peculiar symptom : relief obtained only during walking while swinging his arms – Sarsaparilla (the only remedy in the rubric) was prescribed in potency.
An immediate, good improvement followed. Yet, the subsequent course revealed a resilient and stubborn nature of the skin affliction with the repetitions of Sarsaparilla in the same or higher potencies failing to palliate. His constitutional remedy, Silica, helped him to warm up, raise the stamina and eradicate his frequent colds but did not do much for the hand.
I attempted, then, to probe deeper with the Bio-resonance testing, and one of the left molars, an “absolutely healthy tooth”, came up as the culprit. The man was desperate and willing to sacrifice “the healthy tooth” which had never given him any problems whatsoever. During the “sacrificial ceremony” in the dentist’s chair, a stream of pus was ejected as the tooth was pulled. This broke the dermatitis case.
This case also brings up an issue of other limitations on a part of classical homeopathy. In cases with constitutions of limited energetic reserve, like Silica, a patient may not generate, but conceal instead, many symptoms of a true pathology which are necessary for a proper prescribing.
The same holds true for syphilitic constitutions which are known to conceal the symptoms even in the presence of serious pathologies. Under these and other circumstances, the quality of clinical or preventative care becomes seriously compromised.
Mental case “E”
A lad in his mid-teens suddenly refused to attend school. He was the best student, always very cooperative, yet, for no apparent reason he would enter a state of panic upon seeing the school bus in the morning and refuse to board it. His father tried to drive him to school in his car but once the car would approach the school building, the boy would claw into his car seat with all his strength and adamantly refuse to enter the house of good education.
His parents took him to orthomolecular psychiatrist in order “to balance his brain chemistry” and even put him through a Bio-resonance testing elsewhere, but all to no avail. The psychotherapists did not get far either.
While in the office, the mother convinced me that he had been allegedly molested by one of the teachers some years ago. The boy was saying neither “yes” nor “no”, was hardly saying anything and was not displaying a trace of emotion.
Being of Natrum Muriaticum constitution (every homeopath’s “dream historian”), it was not possible to squeeze any information out of him. The mother denied any other anxieties, fears or mental-emotional afflictions on his part.
Based on this allegation, the corresponding rubrics were chosen and combined with other seemingly appropriate rubrics boiling down to the fact that he seemed to hold the whole thing to himself and then erupted in hysterical attacks, Ignatia 10M was given a trial.
That did absolutely nothing according to the mother’s phone report some three weeks later, and I advised her to get low potency Aconite to at least, hopefully, contain the morning frenzy before I would see him again and reevaluate the case.
In the meantime, a slew of school psychologists and psychiatrists were pressuring the parents into drugging the boy with psychotropic drugs because the weeks and even months were flying by and the boy had no intention of putting his foot in the school building. Months of additional psychotherapy did not produce any results.
I spoke to one of the school psychologists trying to elicit some clues to the case that might aid in finding the correct remedy but was told that nothing bad had ever happened in the boy’s life except for his neurotic mother who, allegedly, implanted every fear imaginable into his head.
I was told that, in essence, “he was the victim of the mother’s delusional fears and her subconscious hatred of the public school system.” As far as the psychologist himself was concerned, “homeopathy was a very good vitamin as long as it was not taken too seriously.”
A seven-page psychiatric report seemed to assemble the best and most complicated terminology of analytical psychiatry ever produced, using words as “suppressive”, “repressive”, “subconscious”, “unconscious”, as well as many other, and no less bewildering terms.
In essence, this was an embodiment of Hahnemann’s definition of “a learned pratting”, or as I mentioned in my recent book, an example of “intelligent fooling”. The report implied that the boy’s mental health was predicated on two monumental events: first – the mother was to be crucified (slight exaggeration), and second – the psychotropic drugs had to enter his body.
It was plainly obvious that without a proper understanding of the roots of the case, the correct remedy would not be found based on an isolated symptom of fear of school.
Bio-resonance testing: pointed to the probable cause. It had nothing to do with the molestation.
I told the boy, based on the test results, what event had triggered his state. He thought for a while and then said, “Yes”. The key combination to this case: fright that was followed by amnesia and numb-like state while the results of the fright have never left him. These made me arrive to the only remedy responsible for this combination – Opium. The effective potency, tested to be 1M, completed the formality. Two weeks later, the boy returned to school and attended it happily ever since.
Mental case “F”
A ten-year old, Michael, presented with the following problems: self-despise, intense anger, feeling estranged from his family, severe depression with desire to kill himself, paranoid deviations including his father plotting to kill him, and many other mental-emotional problems.
This transformation was rather strange as he was known to be happy, obedient and also a very bright student. The symptoms began, albeit mild, a year before but continued to grow and progress. The triggering cause – unknown.
After Bio-resonance testing, the trigger – separation from a friend – was determined to be the case and shared with the parents and Michael. They did confirm the finding and admitted that a year ago, Michael was transferred to another school and lost his best friend who by his own words, was “like a brother to me”.
He did ask the parents on several occasions to drive him to see his buddy but because of the long distance involved and their busy schedule, this was never materialized. Michael stopped asking and just kept this loss to himself.
Bio-resonance testing also revealed a few but very noxious toxicological agents that in my observations are universal in disrupting metabolism of the brain neurotransmitters. However, due to the fact that the boy was suicidal and the picture was very clear and one of Anacardium, it was prescribed in high potency according to the testing first. The parents were also advised to be more sensitive to Michael’s social needs. All his problems vanished promptly.
Yet, a year later, the boy began having new symptoms of experiencing visual hallucinations where he would momentarily see some figures and images. No other symptoms except for daydreaming while in school which belonged to his basic constitution – Sulphur.
In essence, one had a symptom without a clearly discernible state rendering classical prescribing either futile or even potentially harmful.
Bio-resonance testing: same toxicological agents but not as severe were still present in the brain. Corresponding isodes with sarcodal support were prescribed and hallucination disappeared promptly. More than a year later, a follow-up has demonstrated no recurrence as the boy has remained in exemplary health.
Several lessons can be learned also from these two last cases.
1. It is imperative to know the triggering cause in order to have a clear understanding of the case. This undoubtedly makes the prescribing far more effective and also addresses the factors that continue to drain the person’s health.
2. One ought not to assume that, even if known and obvious, the trigger is necessarily the sole cause of the problem. Within the context of complex systems as Man, such linearity may be deceptive or only partially correct as the obvious trigger, as it is the case with physical injuries, is more often than not, the last straw.
3. Classical homeopathic prescribing in my testing and clinical observations does lead to the release of toxic, infectious and other pernicious agents out of the body. Yet, such a release is too often incomplete and inadequate to eradicate a disease state. The system I teach must be used to assure their elimination.
These agents, in the majority, do constitute concrete and real miasmatic layers which Hahnemann made so much emphasis on in his teachings. Without this, a “multi-headed hydra of chronic diseases” will continue to grow its heads.
Another clinical example to illustrate the importance of addressing direct morbid agents directly.
We shall name this case:
Repertorize this
A 50-year-old MD, has suffered from the following ailments, crippling him literally from head to toe for many years and some for even decades: brain fog, poor memory, cloudy thinking, phobia of bridges and points of elevation; insomnia; blurred vision, night blindness; tinnitus; periodic sore throat and flu-like symptoms; metallic taste; chest pain; sporadic diarrhea and excessive gas; urgent urination; peripheral neuropathy: numbness of hands, feet, lower legs; loss of rapid finger movements; loss of balance, coordination while walking, if closes his eyes, he falls; skin rashes; severe and multiple chemical sensitivities; severe sensitivity to EMFs: phones, TV, computers, fluorescent lights, power tools, etc.
If someone uses even an electric drill in a garage, he becomes sick being anywhere in the house. In addition, severe chronic fatigue. Modalities are mixed, inconsistent and fluctuate. Conventional medicine could not help. Attempted several alternative approaches without any success. Became disabled and unable to work for several years prior to his first visit.
Today, approximately a year later, almost 100% of his ailments have been resolved. Only a few, barely discernible and virtually cosmetic symptoms still present, which continue to undergo further recession.
No constitutional remedies or miasmatic nosodes prescribed.
The case was managed exclusively through the identification and removal of toxicological and infectious agents accompanied with proper dietary and environmental guidance. Furthermore, in the process, several old symptoms, even going 20-30 years back have returned momentarily and left. The washout symptoms were very mild and welcomed by the patient as the state of progress would be followed immediately.
What would be the correct classical remedies in this case? What would the aggravations be like? How long, if ever, would it take to cure this case?
Case #8 – Jenny
The last case is notable for its 11 year history managed from the infancy on exclusively with Guided Digital Medicine™ according to FCT® system and the case was progressing on a parallel course as the system itself was continually evolving and being perfected.
The parents brought the girl at the age of 3 months with the complaint of the baby being generally very discontented and keeping the mother sleepless every single night while screaming constantly for nursing. Bio-resonance testing, unexpectedly, indicated the presence of recreational drugs in the brain with the baby deemed to be suffering from the withdrawal problems.
The mother admitted of being under a lot of stress during the pregnancy and resorting “at times” to drugs and alcohol. A remedy (autoisode) was prepared out of the girl’s urine and everyone’s sleep was restored.
On the whole, the following list of problems had to be dealt with during Jenny’s growing years:
very delayed speech and mental development, extremely touchy with terrible behavior tantrums particularly if meals were even slightly delayed, severe LD, would not remember what she did a minute before, low stamina, feeling cold, being a sugar-pasta-pizza addict, very stubborn (“iron will”), frequent colds settling in the chest, runny nose, recurrent stomach pains, sleep walking, psychopathic tendencies destroying, heartlessly, family pets and valuable household goods, cheating, stealing, plotting, running schemes in school with embezzling monies and goods from classmates, yearning to be a leader and manipulate others.
While in kindergarten she was assessed by the child development specialists who told the parents that in no way would she be able to attend a public school but require, instead, a long-term Special Ed schooling.
Physically, mentally and emotionally she represented a deviant with multiple health problems, a serial killer or other kind of a criminal in the making. From the point of view of classical homeopathy she was displaying ominous traits of sycho- (crafty con artists) syphilitic- (sociopaths) tuberculinic (physically frail, allergic predispositions) miasm.
The parents were advised to postpone all immunizations and subsequently she received only the polio vaccine, but at a much later age, with its being administered via a more physiologic oral route.
The following toxicological and infectious problems were identified and addressed exclusively through the homeopathic system: silver-mercury, silver amalgam, mercury, lead; parasitosis, candidiasis and campylobactor infections.
Intercurrent classical constitutional prescribing was carried out with Lachesis (speech problem with frequent throat infections), Silica (cold, frail, stubborn), Bacillinum (frequent upper respiratory infections, tubercular isode), Anacardium (sociopathic behavior), Nux Vomica (very competitive, bossy, antisocial tendencies), Sulphur (creative wheeler-dealer).
All of her infections were always handled homeopathically, primarily with causative homeopathy. She received only one course of antibiotics in her entire life and even that one was due to the parents’ anxiety and could have been easily avoided.
Today she is this teen: bright, creative with a maturity level ahead of her peers, displays exemplary social skills, hard working, good at foreign languages and playing instruments, superb memory.
Attends a high pressure regular public school, one of the best in the country, receives only two hours a week of extra one-on-one help, average grades: A’s, B’s and C’s. Also, a good leader, “heart and sole” of her class and teachers’ delight. At home a great help, very responsible, good at fixing things, conducts multiple chores and can virtually run the whole big household on her own.
Very compassionate with and protective of the family animals and wants to become a nurse to help sick people.
Physically: full of energy, does not care about pastas or pizzas, hates sugary sweets and enjoys only sour-sweet fruit; just one cold a year and recovers on her own quickly and without any remedies, full of energy, good athlete.
Never had a childhood infectious disease.
(This is one of the many cases presented in Dr. Yurkovsky’s article “Autism, ADD, ADHD, LD and The Power of Digital Medicine” see Books and Media to learn more.)
In spite of the several well-prescribed constitutional remedies, there is no doubt that the case would not have progressed as well as it did had it not been for the multiple blocks being removed through causative homeopathy.
Be aware that even pure cases of Anacardium, in my experience, and other sociopathic or mental emotional states, have been cleared without any constitutional prescribing but following the removal of pernicious agents which were disturbing the neurotransmitters function.
It is obvious, also, that the most troubling state in this case as severe mental retardation was managed without the constitutional prescribing of Helleborus, Baryta, Bufo and like. Even if they had been prescribed and the case had been managed exclusively with classical homeopathy, ask yourself a question as to how many children who start out with the severe Helleborus-like state, end up, even with a perfect prescribing, flourishing as this child?
When is the best time or reason for constitutional-miasmatic prescribing?
For the optimum clinical results, time economy, and clinical effectiveness, I adhere to the following criteria which served me well:
1. To close a case of severe physical or mental pathology, and only if still necessary, when the picture becomes very clear while the “obstacles to cure” are no longer present.
2. A clear case of emotional trauma or imbalance.
3. A clear case of sociopathic behavior or social maladjustment.
4. Also, in acute prescribing due to physical injuries or impact of the elements.
In conclusion, the experience has proven that even well prescribed similimum in the care of chronic disease can, at its best, only raise a level of adaptation. It cannot reverse, cure or even halt significantly a progressive course of degenerative diseases or a serious illness. This can be accomplished only through another, and deeper application of homeopathy based on the principle not of similar, but the same.
As it is, obviously, the case in any science, discipline or industry, there is no substitute in dealing with any problem to determining and eradicating its exact roots.
Let me close this message to my homeopathic colleagues through the same format that it was opened, with the quote:
“As you know, I have been practicing Classical Homeopathy for 15 years and would be considered a successful homeopath. But any of us who humbly admit that we have our failures and, for some of us this spurs us on, causing us to search and to ask questions.
“I have always known, or at least suspected that there existed interferences, forces which blocked the energetic response to these homeopathic remedies. You have confirmed my suspicions and, more than that have provided the tools to unblock and repair those tissues again using the same principles elucidated by Dr. Hahnemann. Thank you.”

Philadelphia born and raised…
Well that is where the Fresh Prince and I diverge. Certainly I’ve had my run-ins playing basketball, but I grew up in North Philly instead of West.
For the past 10-or-so years my professional career has been with the video game industry. My first professional job was as the technical reviewer on a book called Linux Game Programming for PrimaTech.
GNU/Linux and free software in general has always been close to my heart. Since 2001 or so I’ve been working on free software projects with icculus.org. One of my favorite games there is Black Shades, a psychic-FPS game.
With LinuxGames I wrote reviews and did the news routine. Then a friend and I spun-off to do a niche site Linux gaming editorial site called TimeDoctor.org. I was hoping it would be the Shacknews to LinuxGames’ more straight-laced Bluesnews, but it never seemed to work out that way. In 2008 Time Doctor.org became a more general blog with reviews and interviews.
With all of this Linux and open-source It was kind of surprising that I followed that up by working with Microsoft on Xbox QA in the Redmond area. However, it turned out be a great fit, and I learned a lot working on platform certification there. So much that I continued in Quality Assurance for a number of years at TV Head/TAG Television (streaming casual games for Cable networks).
While working in QA I couldn’t find much writing on the subject, and so I started Game QA Blog to help new folks get their feet wet. Gamasutra’s Game Career Guide, and PC Zone magazine (republished online here) in the UK, have both interviewed me about Quality Assurance.
Since 2005 my number one hobby has been ioquake3. This is a free software project to continue support for id software’s Quake 3: Arena. I’m very proud of what the ioquake3 community have combined to accomplish. New features, bugfixes, and a community of players and creators who have made their own original games based on the ioquake3 engine.
In 2008 I took my talent for community leadership to Joymax for their hit Free2Play MMO, Silkroad Online and took the opportunity to work on the English localization of the game at their HQ in Seoul, South Korea.
At hi5 Networks in 2009 I started out as a Games Community Moderator, was promoted to Community Organizer in 2010, and worked with some great third party developers as Developer Relations Manager in 2011.
I love to read and take pictures.
The photo you see in the header of this site is one I took.:
- the 12th president of the United States.
- a character from All My Children.
- a talented musician, though another Zachary Slater is.
- a financial advisor.
- the Last Action Hero.

>> based commercial aircraft manufacturer and supplier Embraer SA ( ERJ - Analyst Report ) recently announced its entry through a strategic venture with France based Zodiac Aerospace in Mexico. The deal was highly consistent with Embraer’s strategy of enlarging its client base and services in the international market.
Under the alliance, Embraer and Zodiac, a producer and dealer of aerospace tools, will be jointly engaged in designing and developing cabin interior essentials for the E-170 and E-190 regional aircraft through its operational unit in Mexico. Moreover, with the expectation of creating more jet interiors in the years ahead, Embraer is emphasizing improvement of its aircraft arrangement by advancing the operational facility of its biggest aircraft within 2018 and launching of the latest engines.
Of late, Embraer established several strategic partnerships to extend its businesses beyond Brazil such as in China, Portugal and the United States. The company’s latest venture which would most likely be a milestone in Embraer’s long-term operations will strengthen its foothold in the Mexican market. Moreover, it is anticipated that such strategic deals would provide more stability to the company’s investment stream ensuring future development.
Brazil-based Embraer’s product portfolio supports strong customer orders worldwide. Its diversified global footprint offers fierce competition to industry operators of the likes of Boeing Co. ( BA - Analyst Report ) , Erickson Air-Crane Incorporated ( EAC - Snapshot Report ) and Northrop Grumman Corporation ( NOC - Analyst Report ) .
The current Zacks Consensus Estimate for the second quarter of 2012 is 67 cents and for fiscal 2012 is $2.19. The company currently retains a Zacks #3 Rank, which translates into a short-term “Hold” rating. However, we are maintaining a long-term “Neutral” recommendation on the stock.

an interview with Kabir Uddin of the Equality Trade Union
an interview with Kabir Uddin of the Equality Trade Union
In
Migrant workers in
South Korea
Jamie Doucette: I think it would be best to start with a few general facts for readers who don't know much about migrant workers in
Kabir Uddin: There are about 350,000 migrant workers in
J: What makes these workers illegal?
K: Well, there are only two ways for migrants to gain entrance to
Origins of migrant worker activism in
Korea
J: When, and how, did you form the Migrants' Branch of the Equality Trade Union (ETU-MB)?
K: I had been working for eleven months since October 1996 under the Trainee system when my friends and I ran away from our factories because of low wages and long work hours. We then moved to Masok, a large, furniture producing industrial area. Every once and a while we had to run away to hide in the mountains for a few hours because of an immigration crackdown. More then 1700 migrant workers from many different countries lived in our area but only a few officers would come to check identification permits so we would run and hide. In the evening, when we came back we'd check who got caught. If only a few people were caught the rest of us would feel lucky. Actually, we didn't understand what was our fault. We work here peacefully. Yet, we have to live like this and at any time we can be deported, laid off, violated, or be made to work for two or three months without pay, or have our salary delayed by our employers who use us cause we are illegal. If somebody beats me I have to hush up because I'm illegal.
Later we met some people from a Korean counseling center, which formed in 1995-96. Some priests from a church started a NGO to work on different problems like unpaid salary, labor violations, and to help develop some cultural programs for workers from different countries. These organizations were small and had only one or two staff members with part time volunteers. My fellow Bangladeshi friends and I met there a few times and I worked there part time every Saturday and Sunday to help with translation and counseling for other migrants. But there is a limit to NGO organizing, so sometimes we joined protests with other Korean workers and attended May Day and other festivals, protests, etc. My childhood friends and I were inspired by the radical atmosphere of these protests and met many committed activists and curious students who wanted to know about the situation of migrant workers. In 1999, my childhood friend Bidduth (Bidu) and I, with others friends also went on an educational television channel for a live program about the problems of illegality and the ITS. They ignored us and mainly kept the discussions to the Joint Committee for Migrant Workers in
J: So what happened then?
K: Well, we asked ourselves: Where were the migrant workers' representatives? Why weren't they consulted? Why don't they want to listen to us? Because of this, legislation never reduced illegality and the problems we deal with. So, some more progressive people from the JCMK created a new organization that was really active. Around September of 2000 we got organized with both Korean workers and migrant workers and named it SN for MRF. (Struggle Network for Migrants' Rights and Freedom of migration). At first, there were only 2 migrants, Jones, a Phillipino activist and myself. In total there were 13 members. I was then fired from the JCMK's Migrants' center in Masok (Shalom House). The priest there threatened me several times not to come back but we didn't have any offices or money and hadn't begun to build support from other migrant workers. So, we started a newsletter in 4 languages: Bangla, Nepalese, English and Korean. We joined every big protest of Korean workers we could and distributed pamphlets to them. After a lot of hard work we started getting support, and I'd get threatened from the local police. My friends told me to be careful. All of us were illegal and scared to do real actions.
The birth of the Equality Trade Union
J: So, did things start growing from then on?
K: Yeah, we had a lot of students supporting us with their solidarity. We did sit-ins in front of Myoungdong Cathedral [a historic site of sanctuary for South Korean activists during the military regime] even though our numbers were small. We were even joined by a group of English teachers from the
On May 19, 2001 we launched our union with a ceremony at Yonsai University with more then one hundred participants and some KCTU and others civil society leaders. Our message was that we must fight together with Korean workers. Our Slogans were: Stop the Crack-down. Achieve labor rights. Achieve migrants' rights. Abolish the Trainee System. For the last two years we've fought for every issue concerning migrant workers, from public protest to withheld pay to workplace accidents and wildcat strikes, and for very first time we demanded legalization in 2002 on April 7th by organizing more then one thousand migrant workers to march on a highway in downtown
Day to day organizing
J: How is the ETU organized? In other words, what are its parts? Can you give me some examples of actions that the ETU-MB has organized and/or participated in?
K: The ETU-MB was organized by Korean activists with some migrant workers like me who had connections with migrant communities, and interested migrant workers. We migrant workers hold various responsibilities: propaganda, cultural festivals, and our many rallies in front of the Seoul Immigration office, where we've been attacked and have had to fight back against them several times. When we were preparing for the second, large mass rally of illegal and 'trainee' migrant workers in April of 2001, Immigration, the Police and Intelligence suppressed our rally, so then Bidu, Yi Yoon Joo (our union chief) and I held a sit-in struggle for 77days and were joined by Nepalese migrants as well. After that we got coverage in the international press. Also there were solidarity protests in other countries in front of Korean Embassies by our relatives and sympathetic organizations. Finally, Bidu and I were arrested at in the morning by more then 100 police last September 2nd, 2002. Bidu and I were held in a detention center for 81 days but we put up a fight in jail and there were protests all over
Organizing across cultures
J: What kind of difficulties do you encounter when your members speak many different languages and come from different countries and cultures?
K: I think it's pretty easy cause although there are many differences between us, the work that we suffer through is the same and the language of struggle is very similar over the world. Sometimes we have communication problems and are misunderstood by Korean Activists. This is a problem because the members of the ETU-MB are 80% Bangladeshi. We have to use Korean but other foreigners can't understand Korean well. Koreans also can't speak English well. I am very lucky that I can speak 5 languages relatively well. So, language is one of our biggest problems. We are trying to break all cultural discriminations among us and we are now even mixing in better with Korean culture because we live in Korean society. Now our front-liners speak and make slogans like Korean activists.
J: How do you deal with conflicts in the group? How do you keep people feeling happy and confident during hard times?
K: I believe each member has something to contribute that's part of his or her attitude or behavior. I have learned a lot from the Korean staff of the ETU, especially Yi Yoon Joo. My childhood and long time friend Bidu too, he is a leader in the Bangladeshi communities. There have been some problems with egoism and leadership conflicts but not with migrants, but with some younger Korean activists. There have been some people whose opinions and theory were more radical, but we managed to solve those problems. Sometimes we put on large picnics to refresh ourselves. Our last picnic at
A global movement?
J: The ETU seems to attend Korean Labor protests as well as anti-war protests and other solidarity protests every weekend, even though this often puts you in dangerous situations due to the combatant nature of these rallies where violence is more a fact of the matter than a conscious tactical choice? So, why is solidarity, especially labor solidarity so important to the ETU?
K: We are migrants here so we are powerless without Korean activists. First of all we are illegal and from different cultures. So we don't know our enemies very well and how strong they may be: which way they will decide to attack and oppress to us. Above all else we are workers even though we are migrants. If any workers go to other countries they are migrants and they need to get together with local movements, because employers and capitalists exploit our labor by making us different and discriminating against us for their own profits. If capitalists globalize capital, why shouldn't workers unite with workers all over the world?
J: Where do you do your most important work: on the factory floor, in people's homes, at the ETU-MB office, at protests?
K: Very good question. I guess I don't know. My ultimate satisfaction would be a little revolution, to have 100,000 migrants join our rally and have the whole world know about and support our struggle. May be you are thinking I am completely crazy or a simply a daydreamer. But I know that deep in my heart I have a tornado and great fire that will always try to burn all oppressing forms of capitalist and government oppression. Anyway, what I have done up till now I am deeply determined to continue. When others are scared to show their faces, we must make success even through very small actions. What's been satisfying so far has been: speaking to 30,000 people at May Day, fighting the immigration officers, holding the sit-in struggle, the 21 day hunger strike and at last being released from the detention center. Above all else I am very satisfied to be a part of the migrant worker movement as a front-line fighter.

Stigmatizing Dissent
Stigmatizing Dissent
The city of Montreal served as host to the informal meeting of about 25 trade ministers from the World Trade Organisation last week. While international trade minister Pierre Pettigrew was given immense media coverage to proselytise about the virtues of “globalisationâ€, the mainstream media concomitantly ensured that those opposed to the WTO’s agenda were not only marginalised, but largely discredited for not having protested peacefully. Indeed, by opting to focus on the isolated vandalism of a few stores and luxury vehicles during one of the days of protest, the mainstream media failed to investigate the asymmetric reality which many anti-corporate-globalisation protesters (both “violent†and “non-violentâ€) oppose. It seems that whenever protestors engage in “violent†behaviour, media focus is readily shifted away from the issues which the demonstrators often seek to address, and instead devolves into a tacit glorification of the ostensible virtues of peaceful protest, which to this day remain largely unsubstantiated when implemented in exclusivity with the intent of effecting social change; for every Martin Luther King Jr. and Mohandas Gandhi, there has been a Malcolm X and Bhagat Singh.
It can be readily observed that an obsession with “peaceful dissent†has become ingrained as normative discourse in our society, and is regrettably not exclusively a pre-occupation of the mainstream media. It may be postulated that acknowledging “peaceful†protest as the sole form of legitimate dissent while simultaneously stigmatising those employing more forceful tactics have proved to be an effective means of preventing the disturbance of the status quo. Indeed, the demonstrations against the WTO were repeatedly characterised as “degenerating into vandalism†following a few isolated incidents in which downtown stores and luxury vehicles were damaged. Of concern, however, is that there is never any attempt made to distinguish between the violence committed against symbols of the state (e.g. the vandalism of a Canadian Forces recruitment office) and of corporations (e.g. breaking windows at Gap and Burger King outlets) – which are legitimate targets for someone who reasonably believes that these entities engage in violent and immoral behaviour against vulnerable populations – and violence committed against civilians. All the while, the structural and systematic violence inflicted by states and corporations on these same vulnerable populations lamentably go on unquestioned and unchallenged. Undoubtedly, this violence is greater both in scope and degree when compared to the isolated broken window or spray-painted graffiti, and translates very palpably into the inexcusable degradation and loss of countless lives both here and abroad (although these insults to life are admittedly greater in scope and degree abroad than they are here). Given this reality, one may observe that protestors have paradoxically (given their ubiquitous portrayal as “violent†in the media) shown considerable restraint thus far in refraining from attacking these symbols of greed and unbridled power with great vigour.
If the protestors were involved in targeting civilians or homes, their tactics may legitimately be reproached. However, in a world where power only understands the language of force, it is fairly intuitive and appropriate for those opposed to entrenched mechanisms of domination and control over vulnerable populations to resort to more aggressive tactics in order to be heard. Only if Gap stores (i.e. corporate, not personal, property) are targeted here in the Western world will the Gap management think twice about maintaining the draconian policies which ensure the dependence and subjugation of workers in their sweatshops in poor countries. Similarly, when giant fast-food chains like Burger King and McDonald’s are targeted here, there is a very palpable message that is being sent to their policy-makers letting them know that many stand in opposition to their proliferating hegemonic expansion throughout the globe. Undoubtedly, the powerful show of dissent at the WTO meetings in Seattle in 1999 forced Western politicians to wake up to the groundswell of opposition to the current direction of trade policies as expressed by citizens within their own countries (of course, peoples suffering from the dictates of colonialism, imperialism, and now, neo-liberalism, have long been resisting such policies out of sheer necessity). Thus, while there is a role for boycott campaigns and more peaceful forms of protest to express one’s discontent with such entities, the elite managers of this society will not be inclined to address our concerns if there is no palpable threat posed to their day-to-day operations. The explicit anti-capitalist impetus driving the people’s movement opposed to corporate-led globalisation essentially mandates that bodies propagating and profiting from capitalist enterprise be resisted by force, if there is any sincere desire of overthrowing such an inequitable system of economic, political and social relations.
Observers should also take note of the double-bind in which protestors are incessantly put. For example, after theMontreal police arrested protestors for allegedly being violent at the recent WTO protests, peaceful demonstrators established a “Green Zone†many blocks away. This somehow still constituted participating in an illegal demonstration according to the police who arrested all of the people in the Green Zone (bringing the total number of protestors arrested at the WTO protests to approximately 240), even though the gathering was on private property with permission of the owners of that property. Some of the protestors who were arrested were subsequently released without charge after spending a whole night in jail. However, in a recent personal correspondence with one of the protestors who was arrested, it was revealed that many arrestees had charges such as “unlawful assembly†laid against them, and were also required to agree to conditions limiting their freedom of speech and right to assembly prior to their release. The message sent by the authorities was clear: the form of the protest doesn’t matter, it is simply the fact of protesting that is found to be offensive. With such flagrant abuse of police power and violation of people’s basic rights to liberty and free expression, it is quite unfair to focus exclusively on the violence of protestors.
International Trade Minister Pierre Pettigrew has opportunistically used the mobilisation against the WTO meetings inMontreal as a stage from which to pontificate about the spurious merits of international trade. In sharp contrast to his assertions, however, there are numerous sources which detail the mechanisms and effects suggesting how and why the neo-liberal trade agenda is detrimental to the vulnerable and marginalised that constitute a great majority of the world’s population. For example, from a health-based perspective, Jim Yong Kim, Joyce Millen, Alec Irwin and many others at the Partners in Health organisation at Harvard University in Boston, Massachusetts, have done illuminating work on the detrimental effects of such trading policies on the health of the poor. In “Dying for Growth: Global Inequality and the Health of the Poorâ€1, they convey the bleak facts and figures which provide evidence against the unfounded doctrine that international trade betters the lot of everyone involved; to the contrary, while it allows for a select few to prosper, it does so at the expense of a great many.
Meanwhile, Mr. Pettigrew goes so far as to chastise the protestors in doublespeak that would make Orwell turn in his grave by suggesting that “the stubborn opposition to globalization by some protesters is only hurting poor people in developing countriesâ€2. His preposterous claim that protestors are somehow trying to “screw the African cotton farmers and the African HIV victims as well†is a salient example of what in the field of psychiatry is referred to as “projectionâ€, whereby an individual deals with emotional conflict or internal or external stressors by falsely attributing to another his or her own unacceptable feelings, impulses, or thoughts. It is not the protestors who are preventing people with HIV from gaining free access to essential anti-retroviral medications through international trade agreements like the Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) agreement, nor is it the protestors who forced African cotton farmers into cash-crop agriculture; these are products of a neo-liberal trade agenda which ensures the dependence – not the prosperity – of entire peoples living in poorer countries on the whimsical dictates of wealthy men in power. As someone vehemently opposed to this neo-liberal trade agenda, I do not seek to imperil the lives of those being forced to work in deplorable conditions in the Gap’s sweatshops or the cotton fields inAfrica as Mr. Pettigrew simplistically suggests; however, I do want to hold to account those who facilitate and profit from this exploitation and subjugation. The pernicious ideologies espoused by people like Mr. Pettigrew can never be reformed as they are predicated on the perpetual existence of economic disparities; it is only the slight reduction of this disparity that such men seek. This is the reality of a capitalist mode of economy. The discussions at the WTO focus around how to make the lives of the poor somewhat better, while the principled goals of many in the protest movement is the categorical demand that people not be made poor in the first place.
The purpose of this writing is not to advocate the idea of a carte blanche for violent actions in demonstrations per se; indeed, the effectiveness of such actions can only be weighed over a longer time period while concurrently being evaluated against the successes and failures of non-violent dissent over the years, and is worthy of investigation on its own merits3. What serves as a significant motivating factor for this particular piece, however, is the notion that “violence†– when employed by protestors in conjunction with other forms of direct action (including non-violent and pacifist) – should not be regarded as prima facie wrong. By choosing to engage in tactics which will predictably land these protestors in trouble with the Canadian legal system, they are making a conscious and informed decision consistent with their laudable convictions for a better and more just world. This decision is often made in spite of the fact that many of these protestors already find themselves in precarious legal and financial situations. These are not the impulsive acts that politicians and mainstream media would like for us to believe by preying upon sensationalist sound bytes and video clips. Consequently, instead of caricaturising these protestors as simplistic zealots who lack an understanding of how economic and political systems operate, it behooves society to delve into the well-formulated motivations of such protestors and precipitously bear witness to their concerns and demands.

Syriza’s Rise.
Some mainstream commentators have claimed that the rise in support for Syriza is part of a generalised protest vote against the political mainstream rather than an enthusiastic embrace of their political and economic programme. What do you make of that diagnosis?
Indeed a good part of the electoral gain of Syriza was the result of social anger arising from the austerity programs and the Stability Pact. The protest vote was the determinant factor in the elections. However, given the large number of options open to the electorate with the creation of a number of new political formations and parties, one can reasonably assume that the vote for Syriza was not simply a protest vote.
Syriza, a political coalition of the radical left, which was established in 2004, has had a long presence in the social and political struggles of the country. It is in fact a political formation composed of eleven different political parties and groups, in which the Synaspismos (Coalition) of the Left and the Ecology and Social Movements (SYN), accounts for approximately 85%. Its political orientation, strategy and practice is socio-centric. Syriza has been actively involved in the labour movement, both at the level of the conformist Confederations and at the grassroots level of the radical new unions of precarious labour, in the civil and social rights movements, as well as in the European and World Social Forums.
So, given the political profile of Syriza, it would be rather unfair to say that the people who supported it did so simply as a result of anger or mere discontent as it is conditioned by the the current conjuncture. At the same time, on the key axis of current Greek society and politics, i.e., the Memorandum signed with the IMF and EU, one has to stress that Syriza stands clearly in opposition, and not on the grounds of nationalism, as some other opposition parties claim. On the contrary Syriza’s rationale and discourse is based on an analysis that the crisis is not simply the result of the shortcomings of the Greek political economy, but rather a by product of the global capitalist crisis as articulated and expressed by the EU and the Eurozone. Syriza also sees the political remedies proposed by the government coalition as an offensive of the dominant classes against working people and the traditional petite bourgeoisie. In addition, its program involves the restructuring of the Greek development model, social control of the banks, and the protection of the working class, the unemployed and the poor. Thus, it not as only the popular anger that contributed to Syriza’s electoral gains but a political (though not necessarily ideological) proximity of the population to its policies. In fact the commitment to the latter, was accompanied with a commitment to contribute to the formation of a left wing government in alliance with left political forces.
It is typically claimed that a Greek exit from the eurozone would be catastrophic for the Greek economy, however some leftist commentators point to the example of the Argentine banking crisis and Argentina's rapid recovery following its default. Which scenario do you find more plausible in the Greek context?
Fiscal and monetary policy are not simply technical issues. Although the technical dimension is important, these issues are primarily social and political in essence. Thus, any technical advice should always give primary consideration to the social (and of course economic) and political balance of power and dynamic. This is a mistake made by all those who make the aforementioned proposal..
Alternatively, given that Greece’s problem is very similar to that of the other Eurozone countries and that these problems have revealed the fundamental shortcomings of the Euro and the austerity policies which have been imposed, the radical alternative is to rally the people against the Memorandum. Then, given that a possible exit of Greece from the Eurozone, as all serious economic and mainstream observers and politicians claim, would have devastating results for the world economy, a left wing Greek government can negotiate a new agreement with the Eurozone. Key preconditions for the success of this strategy are: a) not turning this process into a debate among technocrats; b) rallying the people around the idea that staying in the Eurozone is definitely a choice on the grounds of solidarity but this should not be pursued at “all costs” as the right wing and various modernizers claim; and c) the development of a movement of solidarity among the left political forces in and outside the official European institutions. This strategy ensures that in case of failure the people will be informed and mobilized and presumably ready to confront, through solidarity networks, the hardships that will follow the default.
Syriza argues in favour of remaining in the Eurozone but rejecting the present bailout conditions. What do you think the prospects would be for a Syriza led government to renegotiate terms with the European authorities whilst remaining in the zone?
The rationale of my previous comment answers part of this question. However, I would like to underline the fact that Syriza’s proposal is not to renegotiate the so-called bailout agreement but rather is a complete rejection of it. Its proposal is: a) to postpone any payments to the country’s creditors until the economy shows signs of growth (Greece has entered its 5th consecutive year of recession as it holds the world record in GNP contraction with over 20%). This is in fact similar to the plan followed by Germany in 1953; b) to socially control the banks and reorient their activity so they can provide credit for development which will restructure the real economy in the country; c) the abolition of all the anti-labour laws and the reestablishment of all necessary welfare policies which will ameliorate the social calamities caused by the Memorandum (e.g. 30% on or under the poverty line, 22% unemployment, 51% unemployment among the youth).
Aside from its position on the bailout could you outline the most salient aspects of Syriza's political programme more broadly? To what extent, and in what ways, might they take Greece down an anti-capitalist path?
In the Greek context the most salient aspect of the Syriza’s political programme is its plan to undermine the governmental model, which for the longest time has functioned by ignoring popular, social and working class concerns and demands. It is a model that in the last two years is not just indifferent to societal needs but actively sees society as the “enemy”. Syriza’s programme and most importantly its political practice are based on mobilizing the society, realizing a strategy: “empowering the powerless”. In this context, Syriza’s proposed reforms are radical since in addition to having labour and social reforms at its heart, they realize a bottom up strategy, which aims to the establishment a vision of a “society of needs”.
Why is the KKE, the Greek communist party, being so intransigent in its refusal to work with Syriza?
The KKE is today a rare breed of communist party. Its political coordinates are closer to the Portuguese Communist Party, although the latter is less dogmatic and with much less romantic sentiment towards the glorious past of the 3rdinternational and the Soviet type of regimes. In the last few years its social presence has been organized through the formation of front organizations in various locals (labour, students, local and regional movements), which are exclusively controlled by the Party. Its rhetoric and overall activism is grounded on the analysis that the country’s membership to EU should be terminated and anyone who even critically supports EU membership is seen as pro-capitalist. With this profile and strategy, the KKE has a selective presence in social struggles - mainly in those that it is capable of controlling or even using to expand its recruitment. This strategy seems to be transforming the party from a political organization capable of influencing or capturing governmental power into a mere pressure group. In the last local and regional election (fall 2010) the KKE essentially refused to assume any responsibility at that level although on many occasions it had opportunity to assume governmental responsibilities at least in many of the cities.
Thus, the sectarianism noted before and after the May election is not a surprise. However, after the results of the last election and the significant advancement of Syriza (from 4.6% in 2009 to 16.8%) the party’s rank and file has been challenging the leadership strategy, especially its refusal to even consider its participation in a left wing coalition government. In fact, the post-electoral opinion polls already predict a drop by more than 30% of the electoral support of the party. At that point at no great risk one could predict serious developments within this party following the June election.
The last elections saw significant gains for the neo-fascist party 'Golden Dawn' - could you tell us something about the party's historical roots and its political programme? How serious a threat do you think Golden Dawn is to Greek democracy?
The rise of Golden Dawn to electoral prominence is indeed a very worrisome phenomenon, not just for Greece but for Europe. This party is clearly a militaristic neo-Nazi political formation whose membership is mainly made up of a number of thugs, many of whom have been under judicial investigation for extreme criminal acts against immigrants and left-wing activists. It is a party which has a relatively strong presence in high-schools, especially in working class neighbourhoods as well as in neighbourhoods with a high level of criminality related to poverty and social exclusion. In addition, as recent electoral studies indicate, and this is even more worrisome, members and supporters of this party have penetrated the middle and lower ranks of the police force.
Despite these facts, I believe that the popularity of Golden Dawn in last election does not indicate that there is a strong neo-Nazi current on the Greek political scene. Most of this vote, which reached almost 7%, is simply an apolitical and protest vote. Many of its voters did not know that this party shares ideas with the Nazism of the interwar period. What strengthens this type of politics are the dire social consequences of the stability pact, the lack of any serious immigration policies, the de-democratization of police due to the PASOK government’s neo-authoritarianism and the failure of democratic and progressive citizens to co-ordinate an effective antifascist campaign. In any event, this party is not going to disappear; however, its popular vote will definitely decrease in the next election.
You emphasise the importance of developing and strengthening Europe-wide networks of solidarity. Those reading this, many of whom will be UK-based, may be wondering how such solidarity can best be built. Do you have any advice?
In addition to the obvious solidarity networks already in place (Party of the European Left –PEL and the Confederal Group of the European United Left/ Nordic Green Left in the European Parliament) Syriza is expected to gather support from all of those who rally against the austerity policies imposed by the Stability Pact. As Syriza plans to renegotiate the whole arrangement and the fiscal prerequisites of the Eurozone support can come even from mainstream political forces that see both the impasse of the very foundation of Euro and object to the bypass of the European institutions by the initiatives of the axis of Merkel and Sarkozy.
."
As Mark Wiesbrot and Dean Baker have pointed, in some ways Greece is actually better positioned than Argentina to follow the path Argentina did in 2001. In some ways it would be harder.
Argentina's situation is different in that it still had its own currency when it defaulted in 2001. That is a difficulty Argentina did not have that Greece woudl have to struggle with for a time. However, Argenitina is also a much poorer country than Greece. That is an advantage Greece has over Argentina. Also, governments aroud the world have trillions in foreign exchange reserves that coud potentially be lent to Greece. For example, Brazil, China and Venezuela combined have way more than Greece would need.
I think I'd agree that a "unilateral declaration of default" woud be unwise, but why should that option be taken off the table? If the EU overlords insist on bleeding the Greek economy with leeches then Greece must be prepapred to follow through with the gravest threat it can make. If Greece is only partially as sucessful as Argentina, it will be better than being bled to death.

Mozilla posts Firefox redesign mockups
Summary: Mozilla's user interface changes between Firefox 3 and 4 caused quite a controversy, with a significant percentage of the userbase choosing to stick with Firefox 3.
It seems that Mozilla might be getting ready to give Firefox another facelift, as new mockups of potential design changes are posted on the Mozilla Wiki.
At the core of this possible redesign is removing the Firefox button that currently resides at the top-left of the browser and replaces it with a new menu panel. This panel is used to display commonly used features such as opening a new windows, printing, private browsing as well as offering access to the Options menu.
If you're a Google Chrome user then this might seem familiar to you, but there's a twist. Rather than the static menu panel of Chrome, Mozilla plans to give users the ability to customize the menu panel by rearranging the icons, and adding and removing new ones.
Users will also have the ability to add and remove items to and from the toolbar too.
Also, you may notice how themes are displayed in the customizations tab, allowing them to be applied directly to the browser.
Changes to the layout of a browser's user interface have the potential to upset a lot of people, as it can significantly impact workflow. Mozilla's user interface changes between Firefox 3 and 4 caused quite a controversy, with a significant percentage of the user base choosing to stick with Firefox 3. It remains to be seen what users will think of yet another user interface change being thrust upon them.

Mozilla posts Firefox redesign mockups
That mockup is decidedly Chromish.
Agree, looks very Chrome-ish
button
Please not the Chrome tabs
No Chrome-Looking Tabs
Good riddance to the firefox button
Moving to a button on the menu bar will bring it inline with not just the other browsers but a huge swathe of applications written to fit the Windows design guidelines.
Firefox doesn't only do Windows
Mistaken
The graphical user interface has nothing to do with the operating system. The application should follow the graphica user interface what is used, what demands application needs to use toolkit and framework what is used for the user.
Firefox is targeted primarily for Windows users as Internet Explorer is only for Microsoft systems and so on they are the competitors. Same time other system users suffers from bad quality.
That Was An Ugly Button
Opera copied Firefox
Use the top title bar row
Using a Laptop Here Firefox
GUI change
good lord
Mmmm. That's pretty.
at a glance
Awesome !
Tabs
That is the bad decision in Chrome/Chromium that it use custom GTK widget for tabs instead standard one. It should be possible change with themes to custom one but by default use standard GTK widgets.

Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters Joins Jury of Russell Tribunal on Palestine
Roger Waters, founding member of the British rock band Pink Floyd, has announced that he will join Pulitzer Prize-winning author Alice Walker, civil rights icon Angela Davis, and others on the jury of the Russell Tribunal on Palestine (RToP), taking place inis about shedding light about what’s going on in the occupied territories in order that we can lend weight to the argument that the Palestinian people should be treated with respect.”
In a brief video clip he made for the RToP,‘s bloody assault on Gaza, which killed approximately 1,400 Palestinians, and has since worked to bring together legal experts, scholars, activists and other people of note to expose the reality of Israel‘s
Roger the man he has been at this type of humanity trek for quite a long time. I will watch this very closely has they try to get back to the origins that is of human kindness. What a wonderful undertaking to be involved in especially being in the last half of his human life. Thanks for this Roger and thanks for the awesome music you have graced us with the last 40 or so years. May you have success in getting respect and dignity for the Palestinians
Peace
I hope he can make a difference.
a gut wrenching experience..truly a horror show
pray that all the jurors have the stomach for the truth, the evidence and the fortitude to render a just decision…
Wow! What an opportunity for this man to be involved in making a difference. If there was envy in me this would be the time for it to raise its head.
Randall
The Wall & Animals were real light-bulb moment albums for me
Sure puts Mr. Bono and U2 in perspective, don’t it?
yes, Roger waters has been a sincere and outspoken supporter of the Palestinian people for a long time. I hope he will be there when the Wall finally comes down, here he is singing the most beautiful version for Palesttine of “We Shall Overcome” –
Gr8 video, Edna. So touching. I’m so thankful for the few true blue truth activist “stars” in the early movement that continue to stand up. In a world awed by celebrity they have to step up and put their shoulders to the wheel. And those who cower and compromise and suck up to the beast like the McCartney’s and Bono’s deserve the karma they’re sowing. Love you..
Thank you for the beautiful video Edna, I cried. I just joined the Earth Heals community, see you there
Anybody reading this should look very seriously at Edna’s sight. This is a very gifted, humble, and unselfishly loving soul who may be able to help many of you. Someone I trust with my life and heart so perhaps that will help you relax and learn about her amazing, loving gifts if you can. Count it a tipster from the Zenster..;))) (More on her fascinating abilities coming..)
oh… thank you, Zen… !
Oh thanks, Pisces222…. I just saw you there now. We have been having a lot of power failures the last few days, so I have been off the net mostly. Local election time in Brazil and all the power in the grid goes into very loud political rallies in the nearby big town. Luckily we can’t hear them from here!
Animals is a GREAT album. If you haven’t given it a spin I would highly suggest it. Very fitting these days.
Native American activist Dennis Banks was a juror on the Russell Tribunal and in this video he talks about how the plight of the Palestinians resembles the genocide of the Native American people.

Is The G-7 Going To Prevent Bernanke's "Kill The Dollar" Doctrine?
If it were only up to the US, our currency would by now have been completely Mugabe'd, with the opportunity cost of quintillionaire bankers (with pristine, debt free balance sheets courtesy of the brand new $100 trillion bill) being the four remaining members of the US middle class having to lug a metric ton of dollar bills to the nearest Starbucks to buy a latte. However, it may not be so simple in the end, courtesy precisely of the other 6 complicit nations which make up the G-7 and which have as much a vested interest in killing the dollar as Bernanke, subsequent to which they can proceed to hyperinflate their own currencies.
As the chart below indicates, the JPM G-7 Vol index has been quite sticky and is refusing to revert to the old normal. This particular index is instrumental in determining appetite for carry trades: the lower the reading, the greater the propensity to short the lowest yielding currency (yen or dollar, soon cable?). The peak in the chart at the end of 2008 coincides, not incidentally, with the emergency explosion in over half a trillion in foreign FX swaps initiated by the Federal Reserve. Observing the trendlines, it appears that it is not so much the US, as the balance of the G-7 countries that seem to be preventing the dollar from making lower lows on its way to a "Bernanke wet dream" zero. A sustained upswing in this index (and consequently, in the US specific VIX comparable) would likely result in an end in the ongoing carry trade de jour.

I still look forward to the spin from the fdic on how they will address the additional capital matter due to the qspe, siv invasion starting q1 2010.....i'm wondering what new term they can come up with instead of using the old "capital forebearance" of the S&L crisis days. then again, if one is creative enough with FASB 157 mark to menagerie......
"our currency would by now have been completely Mugabe'd"
LOL - well worded in all respects. loves it.
The refaltion view has been expressed uninterupted for months now. Its only a matter of time for the outside force to disrupt the dollar decline (like you mention above). Short GC long USD/JPY and AUD looks at risk.
Fixed Income looks relatively safe for now.

I'm fairly confident that the remaining members of the American middle class would never use something as European as a "metric ton" to weigh their worthless dollars. As I am sure you are aware, the standard in the US is the (highly ironic) "short ton", or for the particularly Anglophilic, the "long ton." I suppose if the carry trade continues unfavorably long enough, one Populist reaction might wind up being the use of megatons. Let us all hope we don't go there.
megatons ... only heard that in connection with nuclear warheads until now ... some chillying convergence going on out there ... just cant see it clearly yet
"Mugabe'd"
awesome, that's one for the books!
oh yes! I do believe we will see that one again.
We're all strapped to the merri-go-round of competitive devaluation, where each nation gets their turn to ride the lead hobby horse of currency debasement. Who's the next singing cowboy to hop in the saddle? Don't forget to use your spurs! This is a five ticket ride, five tickets please!
"Bernanke wet dream" zero
classic.
ZH official rename "Ben Bernabe"
Now all he has to do is throw lavish birthday bashes while the american public starves.....
So if I read that right, you're saying the carry trade is not currently as large as might otherwise be expected? If so, how does this affect the idea of a dollar carry trade bubble reversal short squeeze, that Roubini has been arguing?
hey, its not 2008
The EU is about to give the US a carte blanche to look into every EU citizen's bank account. Many EU citizens are pissed and rightly so. While the 'terror' argument still held some water, this newly crafted legislation is an outright attack on EU sovereignty. Why the EUrocrats are willing to comply is a mistery.
Make no mistake, when bank accounts are becoming transparent to any idiot from the US government to look at then the run on gold will get nuts.
After all, storing physical gold is easier than storing money in accounts that have as many access points as swiss cheese has holes.
It's no mystery:
1. NWO
2. CFR
3. Bohemian Grove
4. Molech the Owl
Bow down.
any evidence of this ?
sounds a little bit foil hat to me
it looks like the dollar won't be getting much more help from the Chinese, if this report is accurate:
What does it matter what the world wants? America is bankrupt because of supporting a global economy. Now the Welfare world can't exist without the dirty American consumer. Let the dollar fall .. it's the only way Americans will be free of a liberals day dream. Globalization.
The USD rally that began today coincides with Obama's Asia - more importantly China - trip. How conveniently coincidental!
It would be interesting to be a fly on the wall when Obama goes in to talk to China. What do you say to a gorilla who is holding your balls? "Please don't hurt me"? I'm guessing he'll lead with a quick apology about the whole tire tariff thing..
I'm digging your new editor/proofreader's humor and prose. Keep up the good work.

"There was a huge volume surge in UUP call options, the ETF that tracks the US Dollars index value, ahead of the FOMC statement. 155,000 November call options were bought at the $23 strike level and another 155,000 were purchased at the December $23 strikes. The November calls came in at around .15 and are now .25 (up 66% in one day on UUP) and the December calls were executed around .25 and are now .40 (UUP up 60%) - this is not bad for a day’s work but was it just a day’s work or are we betting on a trend?
As you can see from David Fry’s chart, it’s not just the 300,000+ options (controlling 30M shares) that have been trading bullishly around the dollar - there has been a stunning surge of volume buying that has built up since mid-October as the dollar index skates along our own target low of 75.
So strong was the demand for shares of UUP that we noted in Member Chat that the PowerShares DB US Dollar Index Bullish Fund (UUP) was halted pending clearance of their request to register another 100M shares "in order to meet investment demand".

Phil Davis blog
I don't usually respond to anons, but:
We are now on a cash basis in this country, not enough capital to go around so they will take down equities and strengthen dollar when they need to sell treasuries - very predictable and tradeable.
We saw this in 2008 and I think we see it again. Unfortunately for the Fed if we see a major surge in the USDX then they have a major problem as the equities they are pumping up will boomerang downward and destroy a ton of Tier 1 capital the banksters have been reporting.
QE or die baby....
Just like the insiders, the bankers have already sold. The only group of investors that are going to win this thing are the institutional investors. When they say XYZ is worth $85 per share it is. If they want to move $ 80 million tomorrow, it will not require Goldman Sacks' approval.
Institutional investers own the world. They do not need games to make money.
BTW... That UFC guy in the .gif who got suplexed into what seemed like it had to be oblivion... He came back and kicked the other guys ass.
Don't fark with him, man!
The world needs the USD, for now:

Time and time again, you are warned of the importance of having strong, secure online passwords, but how often are we given instruction on password management? Let’s take a look at recent password trends and how you can keep track of your passwords.

by Zone Alarm Free Antivirus
I have a simple tip to remember strong passwords. Remember a sentence like “I was helpless”. Then replace words like I with 1, space with underscore, a with @, e with 3 etc. You can use z in place of s where it sounds so. From the above sentence you can get a strong password, “1_w@s_h3lpl3ss”. Is not it right? Further, you can write a password in some place. Keep it as your computer’s login password. If you use the password for 7 or 8 days, you will be in habit; even you will not have to recall it. Your fingers with do the work!
This is indeed a great article regarding password protection. The information you have provided is truly helpful in ensuring its safety and security. Thanks for sharing.

Better than letting them out by themselves
posted 4 years ago
I don't have a cat anymore,but when I did,I took them outside with a harness.My dog and cat walked side by side and had a good time together.It's not safe to let a ca outside alone.There are too many dangers for them.
Pros: Cats shouldn't be let out,it's far too dangerous,w/o supervision
Cons: best to start them.

Oatmeal Soap
posted 4 years ago
Pretty good, got the job done. One bath. She usually takes two soap downs, so the small sample really didnt help, still smelled like a dog in the end.
Pros: Smells okay
Cons: small sample couldn't really write a review on such a small sample.
