65 years later, son finds Ukraine grave he dug by hand (Haaretz)Ze’ev Orenstein recently succeeding in tracking down the grave he dug for his mother 65 years ago and laying a tombstone there. All my life Ive dreamt of this moment, but I never imagined that I could ever fulfill it in a such a dignified manner,” he told the group of Chabad Hasidic Jews who attended the service, along with students from a nearby school and local residents.Zeev Orenstein remembers the day he buried his mother near the small village of Pasynka, in Transnistria - a region stretching along Moldovas border with the Ukraine. He never returned.His mother, Brana, and their children were deported in the winter of 1941, along with 150,000 Jews from the region for “resettlement” in Transnistria in the southern Ukraine. His mother had to carry him on her back.Eventually, the mother and child found shelter in the small village of Pasynka, where they survived for another year by panhandling. An old lady from Pasynka showed him a spot where Jews were buried.”I was especially touched when I showed the schoolchildren were my mother was buried, and asked them to take care of the grave,” Orenstein said.

Array Without delving into the finer distinctions of how we are actually not a Democracy but rather are a Constitutionally-limited Republic, I will endeavor to expose the dangers in viewing Democracy as a System or as an end in itself rather than a means to an end. Democracy as a system &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbspAccording to many, Democracy is a political system. After all, if Democracy is our system, and if that system states that “the People” (the majority) are the ultimate authority, then anything the majority of the people want must become law. Democracy is a means by which government can be kept accountable to the people it governs. &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbspTo complete our system, we still must answer the question, “what types of decisions shall be made?” In the American system of government, this question is answered by our Constitution, which is the Supreme Law of the Land. The point here is that the government, and by extension, the people acting through the government through the Democratic process, are limited in the scope of what they may impose by force of law on their fellow citizens. If the government or the “people” are granted power to use the force of law beyond this boundary, or worse, if they are given carte blanche to rule arbitrarily, then the very rights we sought to protect will now be endangered by the whim of the majority. &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbspSupreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter once said, “…Law alone saves a society from being…ruled by mere brute power, however disguised.” Now couldn’t it be argued that brute Democracy is just a means by which law is made, and that we therefore are still under the Rule of Law? At first this argument sounds sensible, but the actual fact of the matter is that under such a Democratic “system”, law itself becomes nothing but a formality by which the whim of the moment is imposed on the people by force. Since law in no way restrains the actions of the majority so long as something is sufficiently popular, there is little actual need or use for law. The means by which we prevent such abuse is the Rule of Law, and in the United States, this Law takes the form of the Constitution. If the Constitution denies the government the power to enact a law, it matters not how many people may be in favor of that law.

In my life, I can count five times that I have been sure of what I wanted to do, and took the roads to those destinations. And somewhere in the snowdrift, hides a path that could show the way.For most of us, our journey did truly begin at Pilani. Maybe even a tune-up or new directions.BITSAA’s mission is to inspire us to continue up the path. Your paths may cross again.In my personal journey through life, I am accompanied by my wife and son. I want to spend time figuring out how I can clear a path to these new possibilities. And when my son leaves to follow his own path, just like I did at 17 years of age, I want to bid him farewell with the confidence that he will be safe; but satisfied that I would have taught him well for the journey that lies before him.Sandpaper magazine was a journey of personal discovery. I am saddened because I will miss our creative process that has made these two years so much fun.But I am also enthused, imagining the mornings I will wake up, check my email and find a new, unread edition.

Well today was a pretty normal day except I have gotten nothing done and I feel horrible… I had gotten to where I satyed on the computer more and more and gained so much weight that I knew I had to do something. I thought someday we would get back together maybe or we would get divorced and I would get my things later. Secretly seeing him for a little over a month, I decided one night to take the kids and let them meet his family. That night when I was leaving the house a car rolled up beside me and my hubby and his father and his fathers mistress took my kids out of my car by gunpoint. In May 2003 my car was stolen but since it was just in my hubbys name I didnt get anything even thought everything I had left was in it. Anyhoo long story short: Lost everything, kids, car, house, my clothes and all my crafting and business stuff. He got everything that I ever had in my life. Actually I got drunk and drove and was not good at it and got a DUI. I think I have to pull myself back up and lost this excess weight and get back into life.

The most important problem facing law enforcement today is the issue of Racial Profiling. Not since the 1960s has the country been closer to the brink of a race war. Throughout the course of my research I have come across facts that continually support the belief that race is one of the most important factors in the justice system. Certain individuals deny that racial profiling is a reality and if they do acknowledge its’ era of race policy. This period of time is incredibly important in understanding our current racial problems. This resistance to change is very important in understanding our current problem with racial profiling. This era is important because there has not been a significant court or legislative action dealing with race since then. The closest is the Whren decision which said it was ok to use race as a factor in policing as long as it is not the only factor(Cox Cohan). The answer is law enforcement, although today I do consider racial profiling racist, I do not consider the policemen who profile racist. For a victim of racial profiling, you are already a criminal, you cannot say you were discriminated against, because no one will listen. Understanding the root causes of racial profiling helps us understand the problem we face today, because we have seen a long line of improvements in the quest for equal protection under the law. Many individuals seem to have a perception of racial profiling that it probably exists, but only in specific areas like the south or large cities. “His office investigated the issue for four months before he officially admitted that New Jersey state troopers were regularly engaging in racial profiling. The office also acknowledged that although the racial profiling issue has gained state and national attention, the underlying conditions that foster disparate treatment of minorities have existed for decades…The report found that the problem of racial profiling was real, and not simply imagined.(Meeks)” At the point of the proportin of drug arrests one may think its just a little bit not to bad a violation, but by the time one understands that 74% of people incarcerated for drugs are African-American we must understand that this problem is pervasive. These are hindsight justifications, the truth is that even if minorities were disproportionately distributing drugs how could they make up 74% of people who possess drugs when they are 12% of the population, this is basically an assumption that all young black males are drug users. Crime is a short term answer to poverty, but I know that most impoverished individuals whatever race work very hard to keep their head above water. Although some of them may be exaggerated or simply not true, some of them are true and give us a glimpse in to what it feels like to be singled out and intimidated because of your race. They don’t think of it as racial profiling, it just makes sense. If law enforcement is too busy searching innocent minorities for drugs and airport security officers are too busy searching innocent Muslims for shoe bombs, no one is catching the real criminals. This is the primary effect that racial profiling has on the justice system in the United States. By focusing on individuals because of their race we are not incarcerating those dangerous to society, we’re incarcerating a race of people. By letting through the criminals everyone in society is endangered by racial profiling. The secondary effect of Racial Profiling is alienation of the group that is affected. Many individuals of all races have let the media frame racial profiling without understanding the facts(Lamberth). These very few highly publicized cases convince skeptics that racial profiling is a myth created by the media and convince people who believe in racial profiling that incidents are much more violent than usual. This is interesting because increased perception seems to polarize opinions on racial profiling, when it should unite them. The answer to this in my opinion is to use less sensationalism when covering these stories, to see it as a symptom of the larger problem of racial profiling and not just a fluke. The newest form of Racial Profiling involves Muslims. Also racial profiling affects other minorities like Latinos, as it turns out 30% of federal mandatory minimums are given to Latinos(FAMM). Also from many peoples experiences we can understand racial profiling can work in reverse. Now we understand that racial profiling is pervasive, we understand it affects every race, and we know that this problem is exacerbated by drug war policies and media sensationalism. Many individuals are resistant to the idea of racial profiling, because they feel it scapegoats law enforcement for a societal problem they aren’t responsible for. The people in the system are not racist, they are just products of social conditioning. Police officers are not racist, they have just been arresting blacks for so long they’ve created a self-fulfilling prophecy. Many think that police are the number one problem in addressing racial profiling. As it turns out in society in general no matter what race you are, the conditioning exists to some degree that you believe a certain type of person commits certain types of crimes. The first step towards reducing Racial Profiling, is to have every station in the United States record the race of the people they pull over and search. If the current practices continue we will be able to pinpoint certain jurisdictions that use race as the most important factor in determining probable cause. Racial Profiling is a symptom of a larger societal prejudice(Fagan). Racial profiling should not be used to determine probable cause for searching or arresting. To catch the real criminals we must stop searching innocents, we must stop marginalizing racial groups with our law enforcement, and we have to accumulate data to gain a greater understanding of the problem. Racial disparity in the justice system is unjust and affects everyone no matter what race.

I really didn’t want to drive it so I asked my Mom if I could use her car asking her to come along for the ride (because sitting around waiting in a doctor’s office is such fun when you’re 90 years old) and after my appointment we’d do some shopping. The main character in this post is my Mom and I was glad that she hadn’t sat there bored during the time I was seeing the doctor.We headed off to Sears, one of Mom’s favorite shopping destinations. That sounded pretty good to Mom too, so she thought it would be alright since it would be good for her and not spoil her supper.Once inside TCBY Mom found us a table and I went and ordered our sundaes. Mom said.Well, Mom turns 91 in a couple weeks so I felt pretty sure that she wasn’t expecting to die young, so I asked, So, are you depressed?I dont know,” she said to me, perfectly straight faced, and I sucked in my breath wondering what would come next. I always have found it comical that Mom watches out her window and knows everyone’s business on her street: she knows when they leave their house, come back, have visitors (and usually who they are), if they were having work done, what they planted in their yards and when they went grocery shopping.

Alternative Medicine Review: Migraine prevention in children and adolescents: results of an open study with a special butterbur root extract:OBJECTIVE: To explore the role of a special butterbur root extract for migraine prevention in children and adolescents with severe migraines.BACKGROUND: Two randomized and placebo-controlled trials with a total of 289 migraine patients have demonstrated the efficacy and safety of a special butterbur root extract in the reduction of migraine attacks in adults.DESIGN/METHODS: Patients were treated with 50 to 150 mg of the butterbur root extract depending on age for a period of 4 months. Treatment progression was recorded in migraine journals.RESULTS: 77% of all patients reported a reduction in the frequency of migraine attacks of at least 50%. Attack frequency was reduced by 63%. 91% of patients felt substantially or at least slightly improved after 4 months of treatment. About 90% of each, doctors and patients, reported well-being or even improved well-being. No serious adverse events occurred.CONCLUSIONS: The results and low rate of adverse events in this study are similar to the results of two multicenter placebo-controlled butterbur studies in adults. Butterbur root extract shows a potential as an effective and well-tolerated migraine prophylaxis.My Take:Great. Now, doc, give us the formula for the secret sauce. Butterbur — is that in the dairy section? While encouraging, the problem with most herbal remedies is that the potency varies tremendously, so it is nearly impossible to know how much of the active ingredient you are, or should be, getting.

In addition to funding the interstate highway system and other federal transportation programs, it sets a new record for pork-barrel spending, earmarking 4 billion for a staggering 6,376 pet projects, spread among virtually every congressional district in the land. The enormous bill — 1,752 pages long — wasnt made available for public inspection until just before it was brought to a vote, and so, as The New York Times noted, it is safe to bet that none of the lawmakers, not even the main authors, had read the entire package.

Array-ne As Iraq progresses militarily and democratically, citizens there are stepping forward to inform indigenous and coalition forces of terrorist operations and covert weapons caches, Multinational Force Iraq officials reported today. An explosive ordnance disposal team destroyed the weapons in a controlled detonation, officials said.A tip from a local citizen in the Tissa Nissan area of Baghdad Dec. 16 led a group of soldiers from the 1st Battalion, 64th Armor Brigade, to a large, buried mortar cache of seven 60 mm mortar rounds. Iraqi army troops from the 3rd Battalion, 1st Brigade, 1st Iraqi Intervention Force, reportedly found and cleared two weapons caches near Husaybah Dec. 17.The first cache, northwest of the city, held six 40 mm rounds, three AK-47s, a single assault rifle and assorted small arms ammunition, officials said. The team discovered more than 4,200 mortar rounds in a single cache Nov. 27 near Kirkuk, officials said.Meanwhile, at several locations near Tikrit on Dec. 17, soldiers from the 101st Combat Aviation Brigade detained 15 suspected terrorists as part of Operation Eagle Watch.The 101st soldiers reportedly were conducting an area reconnaissance near Forward Operating Base Speicher, when they observed the terrorist suspects at two separate sites.

Or does is simply mean that Iraqis want us to leave when the job is done?Let’s explore the other findings of this secret poll:Forty-five per cent of Iraqis believe attacks against British and American troops are justified - rising to 65 per cent in the British-controlled Maysan provinceLess than one per cent of the population believes coalition forces are responsible for any improvement in security67 per cent of Iraqis feel less secure because of the occupation43 per cent of Iraqis believe conditions for peace and stability have worsened72 per cent do not have confidence in the multi-national forcesStill, there are many reasons to question the secret poll. Did I mention that it is a secret poll whose methodology has not been revealed?ABC News – hardly a cheerleader for the Bush Administration – released its own poll which claims that only 26% of Iraqis want U.S. troops to leave now. Our presence today and our presence after a duly elected Iraqi government takes office will be at the behest of the Iraqi government – the leaders that Iraqis elect to lead them.As the ABC News poll also suggests, 57% prefer a democratic political structure. How can 70% support a constitution of democracy while only 57% support democracy?CAN POLLS IN IRAQ BE TRUSTED?When considering the prospect of polling Iraqis, one must consider their history under Saddam’s regime. Odds are high that Iraqi support for our mission is far greater than polls report.THE POLLS THAT COUNTAs we know from our own experience, polls can easily be conducted to conclude what the pollster wants to promote. Still, contrary to the findings of Murtha’s secret poll, most Iraqis felt secure enough to venture to the polls.

Republicans are acting to make the least of the Nickel Plate route, and launch a painfully expensive boondoggle.The Nickel Plate line is being eyed as a starter route for a light rail mass transit network. The latest quotes can be found in a December 16 article in the Noblesville Ledger, under the headline, Official wants mass transit sooner than later:The three proposed routes for mass transit’s initial route in the region are along the old Nickel Plate Road rail line in Fishers and near Allisonville Road and Interstate 69. It is also worth noting that the Monon Trail, a former Monon Railroad line that does run through Carmel, has not been offered for a conversion to light rail. The best use for the Nickel Plate corridor is obviously a greenway and trail, but their judgment is clouded by the desire to use it to solve a problem.Only the Libertarian Party has made the policy proposal to convert the Nickel Plate into a trail and greenway. There’s more.In 2000, IndyGo lost .2 million.In 2001, IndyGo lost .4 million.In 2002, IndyGo lost .0 million.In 2003, IndyGo showed a profit of .8 million.So, people really started riding the bus, right? As these values soared, the taxes received by IndyGo did likewise.It’s startling to consider how significant the tax support is for IndyGo when you consider just this one line item, found on page 26 of the 2003 statement:Prior to the collection of taxes, IndyGo had an operating loss of 7.4 million. Answer: we don’t.To date, I have not heard a single Republican official speak out against a mass transit boondoggle such as the proposed Nickel Plate light rail starter system.

While we knew all along that 1000 neutrophils was the benchmark for going home, and while we knew she was rapidly approaching that mark, we were apprehensive to even consider going home so soon thinking there had to be more criteria. So, with the tremendously great news comes anxious anticipation.After being so sick for so many days, Courtney is understandably nervous about being away from the hospital and away from most of the people who have done such an amazing job at taking care of her. Each round consists of six days of chemotherapy followed by a few days of recovery. He didn’t specify the number of days she’d be in the hospital for each round, but it’ll be at least 7 days and likely 10 or more. After each round Courtney would go home for a week.An important aspect of all this is that neither the consolidation chemotherapy nor the bone marrow transplant will occur if she isn’t in remission.

After a bit of investigation (asked the woman at the pie shop! They have a pretty impressive museum which wasted a couple of hours and also went up to the Botanical gardens on the tram for some views but apart from that there was nothing. Really good atmosphere and the locals were joining in, in a good bit of banter. I love stewards, they are the most jobsworth people in the world, for a couple of hours every week these geeks get a little bit of power. A couple streaked at half time which was hilarious but you would have thought they had a gun to George Bush’s head the way the stewards reacted, about 8 piled into this bloke.Roturua stinks, think of beer farts and rotten eggs and you are nearly there. We thought it naturally erupted at the same time every day but not so, makes me wonder whether its really a complex matrix of kettle’s boiling underground that creates the steam!We are now in Lake Taupo which is similiar to Queenstown abit.

In the 19th century, the Westward expansion of the United States incrementally expelled large numbers of Native Americans from vast areas of their territory, either by forcing them into marginal lands farther and farther west, or by outright massacres. Well-known military engagements include the atypical Native American victory at the Battle of Little Bighorn in 1876, and the massacre of Native Americans at Wounded Knee in 1890.

Whatever our political, economic and social problems, we remain a robust democracy in which freedom of speech, and association, is actually guaranteed by the Constitution.But that does not mean the constabulary wanted the total program to be abandoned, nor is there any evidence that our political leaders want it abandoned either.Even the MP who instigated the court challenge wants it to continue, but under an agreement that is consistent with our National Constitution.The implication that the fight against corruption and the abuse of public money has ended as a result of the withdrawal of Australian police personnel ignores the reality that much of the work of fighting corruption is the responsibility of the Ombudsman Commission, a body with similar powers to the CMC in Queensland or ICAC in NSW, and a body that is unaffected in any way by the ECP issue.And the Supreme Court decision actually confirms the status and independence of two key office holders in fighting corruption and crime generally — the Police Commissioner and the Public Prosecutor.The challenge for Australia and for PNG is now to make a genuine commitment to revising the ECP agreement, and the ECP Act, in a way that is consistent with the Supreme Court ruling.And if and when that happens, the policing program will be able to resume as soon as practicable.Our negotiations will enhance the effectiveness of the program, and community support for it, if we correct mistakes that unquestionably occurred in its initial implementation.I have every confidence the commitment by both governments to the ECP — including the deployment of police personnel — remains strong.Our joint responsibility now is to restore the program and to do so in a way that is consistent with the decision of the Supreme Court of PNG, that avoids to the greatest possible extent further legal challenges and importantly, that enhances public confidence in and support for it.That will be a difficult, but not impossible, task for two countries that don’t always agree but have a bilateral relationship underpinned by shared interests and that is mature enough and robust enough to overcome obstacles such as those the Supreme Court decision has created.

First, BWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!Second, check this link: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/06/17/AR2005061700636_pf.htmlThird, read it and weep:The TNS-Sofres survey of 1,000 people in each country showed only 31 percent of French people have any sympathy for Americans, down from 39 percent in 2002.Only 35 percent of Americans like the French, a drop from 50 percent in 2002, according to the poll, published in the Le Monde newspaper.35% that’s too high if you ask me? Fifty-six percent of Americans said France was not a reliable partner.More non-shocking stats!In the United States, Democrats and the black community have a better image of France while 39 percent of Republicans said they do not like France.French people openly supported French-speaking Democrat John Kerry in last November’s presidential election, infuriating President Bush’s Republican supporters.

Array Sad thing is, shark killing has accelerated so much since that movie came out its depressing. Last I heard, around 95% of the shark population has been killed since the movie came out, partly because the public opinion is against sharks. Look at it this way- sharks kill around 15 people a year. Sheesh, but that argument, we human species should’ve killed ourselves a long time ago.

Reason #34 baseball is the bestest sport of all: home field advantage actually changes the rules of the game. This is the principal beauty of being the home team in a close game. Having the final two games in your house is certainly preferable, but the middle three games, a time when a series may either be put away or made interesting, are no trivial matter. Having consulted every expert in the land short of Richard Dean Anderson, the Sox will have to hope Schilling, armed with a bionic shoe cobbled together from space age magnets, loose change, and Alan Embree’s spent slug of chaw, can find the peace of body and mind to be something like his old self. That little Greg Maddux impression in Game 2 was a real hoot, Jon, but it’d be just swell if you could go back to getting cuffed around a bit like we know you can. If there must be a winner in this still hypothetical coin flip, it would probably be the Sox on account of the extra day of rest for Schilling and the extra day of R&D for their super double secret crack team of medical engineers. Either way, Game 6 has the makings of a dandy, and that’s exactly how far in the future we all should be looking at this juncture.

However, the referee made the wrong call and I felt the necessity to let him know about it.It seems I am not the only person who tends to disagree with sports officials. According to the National Association of Sports Officials, high school officials make 0 to 5 for any given game. Next time Paterno goes on television, he should give a percentage of how many plays he called correctly before drilling into another referee who made a higher number of correct calls.Referees are regular people doing their job. As they say on the highway, “Give ‘em a break.”Oh, and to the referee who called our game last week: You still made the wrong call.san fransisco shuttletours wiley x outdoor villa lighting Architectural Outdoor Lighting

Array-ne Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty has proposed removing public access to a lot of government data on individuals, on the grounds of protecting those individuals’ privacy.Pawlenty called for rewriting Minnesota’s Data Practices Act to eliminate a presumption that all information governments collect is open for public inspection and replace it with a presumption that most personal information in government files is confidential.(snip)His plan also includes:1. Itasca County charged per inmate for the information — which is supposed to be free except for a nominal copying charge.28% of school districts refused to reveal the superintendent’s salary.2% of City Hall officials refused to allow access to the minutes of council meetings.The survey demonstrated that despite a law that says otherwise, many public employees are reluctant to share indisputably public data with citizens. Rather than presume all data is private, a better approach would be to carve out narrow, specific exceptions for certain data — much as driver’s licenses are handled now.Technorati tagspawlenty, minnesota, privacy, politics, midtopiaLabels: law, Minnesota, secrecy

A few hours after NFL owners voted to continue their standoff with the players union, the league extended its deadline for free agency by three days, putting off what threatened to become a mass purge of high-priced players from rosters.League vice president Joe Browne announced the delay Thursday afternoon, seven hours before the midnight deadline.The owners’ vote after a 57-minute meeting earlier in the day had seemed to end 13 years of labor peace between the league and its union.Browne did not elaborate on the deadline delay, which gives the union 72 more hours to negotiate a contract extension to the labor agreement that could add about 0 million to the current salary cap of 4.5 million. Many teams spent the day scrambling to get under that figure, and a number of big-name players were expected to be cut.Free agency will now start at 12:01 a.m. EST Monday instead of Friday.That move puts off free agency for a class led by two running backs: NFL MVP Shaun Alexander of Seattle and Edgerrin James of Indianapolis. If other players were to be cut because of the salary cap and hit the market, free agents would find fewer buyers and less money available.The extension came seven hours after commissioner Paul Tagliabue had announced the situation is as dire as dire can be. There was a pall around the league as general managers struggled to find cap room and agents tried to figure out how to sell clients in a market with less money and a potential glut of players.In fact, the owners’ meeting was so short that a lot of people who expected a 12-hour session arrived after most of the owners had departed the New York hotel where they met, braving a mix of ice and snow to try to get home quickly. It was thought at the time to be a strange rubber stamp by owners who had flown to New York from around the country.The extension rekindled hope amid the rhetoric.I wont come down,” Gene Upshaw, executive director of the NFL Players Association, said when hearing of the owners morning action. The players know that. Only the owners can make a proposal.Upshaw and the union are asking for 60 percent of league revenue for players, four percentage points more than the owners are offering.There are two years left on the labor agreement first signed in 1993 and extended continually before the deadline.But unless there is an agreement, there will be no salary cap in 2007, which could create big-spending haves and low-revenue have-nots, a situation that has prevailed in other sports such as baseball. That also has traps for teams and players: a player would be eligible for free agency only after six years instead of the current four

At Shiphay Lane, 1 min down the road I pick up a Zoo Keeper on his way to work at Paignton Zoo (as featured on BBC TV a few years ago). I got on the radio and asked the controller at Paignton to ask the 12A driver to wait a couple of mins until I got to Paignton. Controller said,No problem.As I was arriving in Paignton Bus Station an other driver was reporting that a horse had left it’s stable and was running along the main road in to Brixham. So I arrived, but the 12A had gone.So the poor zoo keeper had either a long wait or a long walk.As it happened we had a spare driver doing nothing who was able to run the zoo keeper up to the zoo so all ended well.
