Nagasaki Ken Bijutsukan (Art Museum)

Nagasaki, Kyushu

What distinguishes Nagasaki Kenritsu Bijutsu Hakubutsukan from other art museums is its collection of Spanish art with a strong Christian influence. The Suma Collection was built up during World War II by the late Yakichiro Suma, who was an ambassador to Spain. It includes the print John the Baptist, which is said to date from around 1500. With works by such 20th-century artists as Picasso, Miro and Dali, this art museum is believed to have the largest collection of Spanish art in all of Japan. Also housed here is Taisei Okozu, by an unknown artist, which has been designated an Important Cultural Property by the national government.

CARDIFF DOGS HOME - John adopts captain jack

28 FEBRUARY 2008: by Abby Alford, South Wales Echo

It is a tale of love that could have been penned by Torchwood writer Russell T Davies himself, but this romance is not a work of fiction.

For when TV star John Barrowman visited Cardiff Dogs Home to open a new kennel block, the harsh reality of one dog’s situation melted his heart.

Dog-lover Barrowman, better known to fans of the BBC Two show as Captain Jack, said: “During my visit, I fell in love with a 12-week-old Jack Russell terrier who was recently abandoned in an empty flat in Cardiff. I have now adopted the little fella, ‘Captain Jack’, as part of our family.”

He added: “I was pleased to be invited to Cardiff Dogs Home to support all the good work that it does for abandoned and stray dogs. As a dog owner and patron of the Dogs Trust myself, I know how important it is to pass on the message of responsible dog ownership to all dog owners.”

Cardiff council’s deputy leader Judith Woodman said: “The new kennels were made possible by donations from two kind benefactors who bequeathed money to the dogs home last year.

“Around 1,300 abandoned and stray dogs pass through Cardiff Dogs Home each year. The new kennels will be used to house bigger dogs and for nursing mothers with pups. The donations have also helped to pay for the refurbishment of a vets’ room.”

Globke Supports Thesis That Ss Men Had to Kill Jews or Face Death

Expert witnesses in the trial of five former SS cavalry officers in the wartime murder of 5,200 Jews in Pinsk testified yesterday on the issue of what happened to SS men if they refused to obey commands for torture and murder.

Dr. Manfred Roeder, a former German military Judge, said that commands had to be obeyed without consideration as to their criminal nature. He said it would have been impossible for a man with the rank of squadron commander in a cavalry regiment to reject an order handed down from Hitler to carry out executions. He said that it would have been up to the generals to protect their subordinates from being given criminal commands.

Dr. Hans Globke, who quit under fire as a key advisor to Chancellor Konrad Adenauer, also was a witness. He said he first learned of the shootings in the East at the beginning of the invasion of Russia. He said that in discussions with other officials in Berlin at the time, the unanimous opinion had been expressed that the man who did not carry out an order to shoot must reckon with being shot himself. Globke, who was then an official in the Interior Ministry, added that he was not aware of any cases where this had happened. He also testified that he knew of a Ministry official who, on learning about the mass shootings, got a transfer from the Jewish department to another department.

Dr. Hans Buchheim, of the Munich Institute of Contemporary History, said that SS men had plenty of opportunities to dodge carrying out orders to shoot civilians, but that most of them lacked the courage to refuse to obey such orders.

Israel Prepared to Withdraw from Canal if Knesset Approves Move

Israel Prepared to Withdraw from Canal if Knesset Approves Move

Premier Golda Meir said today that her government was prepared to pull back Israeli forces from the Suez Canal, provided such a move was approved by the Knesset, but was not prepared to permit Egyptian troops to occupy the evacuated zone and would not resume talks on an interim agreement before the United States meets several Israeli conditions, including an undertaking to resume the supply of Phantom jets.

Addressing a Press Club luncheon here, Mrs. Meir said these points were made clear in discussions with the US. She did not name the American officials with whom the discussions were held but it appeared from the context of her remarks that she was referring to her talk last week with US Ambassador Walworth Barbour in which Foreign Minister Abba Eban participated.

Foreign Ministry sources said today that Israel has not yet received the “clarification” of the US position which it asked for through Barbour. Mrs. Meir pointedly rejected the term “interim agreement” for a deal to reopen the Suez Canal. In her view, “interim agreement” implied something binding on an overall settlement. She said she would prefer calling it a “special agreement” so it is clear that it stands by itself.

Mrs. Meir said the Americans themselves were not sure that the terms of a Suez agreement would be kept by the Egyptians and told her that in the event of an Egyptian violation. Israeli forces could easily reoccupy the zone they evacuated.

“Of course we can do it,” Mrs. Meir said, “Fifty or 750 Egyptian soldiers on this side of the canal do not mean much. There were 100,000 Egyptians in Sinai during the Six-Day War and they were routed. But it is a question of the price Israel has to pay, mainly in terms of human lives.”

She said her differences with the Americans were not over how many Egyptians would be permitted to cross the canal but over the principle that any should be allowed to cross. She added that if there was a danger that an agreement would be violated there was no point in having one.

News Brief

The rate of inflation for the month of October was nine percent, according to official figures issued Sunday by the Central Bureau of Statistics. It represented a blow to Treasury efforts to control inflation. But the Treasury stated: “We are doing what is possible to lower the rate of inflation.” The October figure brought the rate for the first 10 months of the year up to 81 percent. Some economic observers predicted that the annual rate for the calendar year would now top 100 percent. Finance Minister Yoram Aridor had hoped to bring the annual rate down to two digits this year.

Rabin Letter Read at Cemetery in Australia After Desecration

Rabin Letter Read at Cemetery in Australia After Desecration

More than 1,000 people crammed into a cemetery in South Australia to express solidarity with the Jewish community of Adelaide, where more than 60 graves and headstones were vandalized in the Jewish section of a cemetery earlier this month.

Among those conveying their concern was Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, who sent a letter expressing his “utter digust” at the anti-Semitic attack that occurred there.

Yehuda Avner, the Israeli ambassador to Australia, read aloud the letter sent by Rabin.

“Given our history, our common heritage, our mutual faith, the desecration of the Adelaide Jewish Cemetery could not but touch a nerve in the emotions of us all,” the letter said. “It revives painful associations.”

A message from Australian Prime Minister Paul Keating also was read at the event, called the “Service of Solidarity.”

Keating said in the message that this “mindless behavior” has “no place in a tolerant society.”

The government of the state of South Australia said it would provide funds for the “full restoration of the tombstones that have been damaged,” matching an earlier commitment by the federal government.

Isi Leibler, president of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry, also addressed the crowd, saying that what took place “is tantamount to one of the worst examples of desecration to have happened in any Western country.”

The Jewish community in South Australia as well as Jewish organizations in Sydney and Melbourne said they received letters of support from diverse groups, including the Islamic community, the Chinese community, mainstream churches and other Jewish communities.

Is Israel Using ‘excessive Force’? Officials Refute Human Rights Charges

Is Israel Using ‘excessive Force’? Officials Refute Human Rights Charges

Is Israel using `excessive force’? Officials refute human rights charges Streams of words have been written and spoken about the Israeli-Palestinian violence that erupted in late September.

But none stand out as much as one phrase, “excessive force,” in describing how badly Israel’s international image has been tarnished.

Although the conflict evolved from popular Palestinian riots into a far more complicated guerrilla-style campaign, the debate over Israel’s use of force against Palestinian demonstrators and rioters is still on the international agenda. Since the beginning of the crisis, more than 200 Palestinians have been killed, including dozens of children.

The issue came up again Monday, when the U.N. human rights commissioner, Mary Robinson, accused Israel of using excessive force against the Palestinians. In a report to the U.N. General Assembly, she called for an “international monitoring presence” to be set up in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

Along with the conflict itself, the “excessive force” discussion is heading into new territory. As Palestinian attacks intensify, and Israel’s ever-harsher retaliations expose the enormous imbalance of military power in Israel’s favor, questions are being raised about the legal limits of Israel’s response in a warlike conflict that falls short of an all-out war.

B’Tselem, the Israeli human rights group in the occupied territories, says it is better qualified than international organizations to investigate Israel’s human rights record during the current conflict.

“We have a better ability to see the complexity of the situation than international organizations,” says Tomer Feffer, spokesman for B’Tselem.

“We are not trying to say which side is right, but to examine from a human rights perspective how each side is violating or not violating human rights.”

The group’s reporting includes criticism of Palestinians for not keeping children away from flashpoints, and unequivocal support for the right of Israeli soldiers to shoot to kill any armed Palestinian firing at them.

Nevertheless, B’Tselem criticizes Israel for never having invested seriously in nonlethal methods of crowd control — such as water cannons — despite years of demonstrations and riots in the West Bank and Gaza.

It also says, based on extensive field work, that Israel’s widespread use of rubber-coated metal bullets is inappropriate for dispersing riots because the bullets are lethal ammunition and have caused the deaths of many unarmed Palestinians.

According to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society, 9,093 Palestinians had been injured in the conflict through late November, including 3,649 by rubber-coated bullets. B’Tselem says there are no official statistics on how many of the deaths were caused by rubber-coated bullets.

“Rubber-coated metal bullets do not disperse riots; they kill people,” says Feffer, adding that despite the problems Israel faces, it cannot fire freely at rioters.

“According to international law, it is forbidden to mix armed people with unarmed civilians since this endangers the unarmed people. However, the fact that there are gunmen in a crowd does not give Israel the right to fire indiscriminately into the crowd.”

Col. Daniel Reisner, head of the Israel Defense Force’s international law department, disputes B’Tselem’s criticism.

He says the army had developed nonlethal weapons to deal with the 1987-1993 Palestinian uprising, when riots were rarely accompanied by gunfire.

But these are inappropriate in the current situation, he says. Water cannons, for example, could not be used because the driver would be exposed to gunfire.

In recent weeks, military representatives have fruitlessly scoured the globe for long-range nonlethal riot control equipment.

“No such equipment exists anywhere in the world,” Reisner says.

Reisner defends the use of rubber-coated bullets, saying they are meant to cause harm, but not to kill, if used properly.

He admits that when they’re shot less than 150 feet from their target, they can be lethal.

But statistically speaking, Reisner argues, the damage inflicted by this ammunition may not be as bad as the raw numbers indicate.

According to the IDF, there have been 4,832 disturbances involving stone- throwing since the conflict erupted. Even compared with the Red Crescent’s figures of 3,649 injured by rubber-coated bullets, this amounts to less than one injury per incident.

“If that’s the ratio, then they are getting off lightly,” says Reisner. “The numbers do not coincide with the claim that the IDF is firing freely because if we were, the number should have been significantly higher.”

B’Tselem has not yet given its official opinion on the use of Israeli helicopter gunships to retaliate against Palestinian attacks.

It does, however, say that in anything short of a full-scale armed conflict between two sovereign states, the use of force must be proportional.

This would mean that, according to B’Tselem’s interpretation of international law, Israel would not be entitled to use helicopters to strike at lightly armed Palestinians.

The definition will be critical to determine what exactly constitutes excessive force.

“It is complicated to define, and we are taking advice from international legal experts,” says Feffer of B’Tselem.

Reisner agrees that this question is critical.

“We are now in a state of armed conflict short of war,” he says. “The modern definition of armed conflict is extremely wide. Helicopter gunship attacks are exactly one of the few changes we’ve made in terms of our outlook on the conflict.”

For Israel to justify its use of such methods in the international arena will depend in part on the intensity of the violence coming from the Palestinian side.

Ironically, says Reisner, a unilateral Palestinian declaration of independence could legally give Israel a freer hand to unleash more force, since it would technically be fighting a sovereign state.

But even the best lawyers Israel can buy will not help it win the battle for international public opinion that will likely become far more critical if Israel hits the Palestinians harder than it is now.

60 Years After Liberation Poles Look Back at Auschwitz As Anniversary of Liberation Nears

60 Years After Liberation Poles Look Back at Auschwitz As Anniversary of Liberation Nears

Each year, the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau by Soviet forces is marked on Jan. 27, but this year the 60th anniversary has given Poland, site of the most infamous Nazi death camps, a special opportunity for remembrance and reflection. The anniversary ceremonies, which will be held at the memorial site in Birkenau, will draw an assortment of international dignitaries and leaders. Among those slated to attend are Israeli President Moshe Katsav, Ukrainian President-elect Viktor Yuschenko and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Pope John Paul II, originally from the Polish town of Wadowice, which lies approximately 25 miles from Oswiecim, as Auschwitz is know in Polish, will send French Cardinal Jean-Marie Lustiger — who was born Jewish — as his special envoy.

In addition to world leaders, the most honored guests will be former prisoners of Auschwitz from many countries.

Jaime Ashworth, director of education at the Galicia Jewish Museum in Krakow, said the 60th anniversary is significant because “this might be the last time survivors participate to this extent in Holocaust commemoration ceremonies.”

The last roll call at Auschwitz was taken on Jan. 17, 1945. The next day, some 60,000 prisoners were sent out of the concentration camp on death marches, headed to German camps in the west. Approximately 16,000 people were left behind in Auschwitz II, also called Birkenau.

Today more than half a million people visit Auschwitz each year.

Poland has a particularly complicated role in Holocaust remembrance. The Nazis chose Poland as the site of many death camps because it borders Germany and was in the center of occupied Europe.

More Jews — approximately 3.5 million — lived in prewar Poland than in any other country, and Poland lost more Jews than any other nation.

Today Poland is home to anywhere between 5,000 and 20,000 Jews, many unaffiliated with the Jewish community.

Despite Poland’s reputation for anti-Semitism, the country today is confronting its history effectively. According to the U.S. State Department’s report on global anti-Semitism, released Jan. 5, “surveys over the past several years showed a continuing decline in anti-Semitic sentiment, and avowedly anti-Semitic candidates have won few elections.”

The report continues, “In June, the government held a major international conference to unveil its proposal to open an international center for human rights education in Oswiecim.”

The report includes some incidents of vandalism and verbal attacks against Jews but points to a generally favorable trend in governmental support for Jewish projects and communities.

In the post-Communist era, many groups have been created to foster Polish-Jewish dialogue and mutual understanding. Andrzej Folwarczny, a former member of the Polish Parliament, works with the Forum for Dialogue Among Nations. An American, Dennis Misler, moved to Poland several years ago to create the Polish-American-Jewish Alliance for Youth Action, which unites Polish and American Jews and non-Jewish Polish students interested in Jewish history and culture.

In addition, the Polish Jewish community has grown to include Orthodox and Progressive congregations, a choir, several publications and many youth groups and lectures.

Still, Auschwitz remains the focal point of Holocaust history and memory in Poland, and Polish schoolchildren visit it every year.

Joanna Kempinska, 24, remembers learning about Auschwitz in high school.

“When you read about it you just get a sense of it, but when you actually go to see it, you realize someone died here, many people,” she said.

Leszek Bizo, 25, from Andrychow, a nearby town, said, “I felt so shocked when I saw the shoes, the hair, in Auschwitz.”

The Auschwitz Museum has an extensive educational center, which welcomes visitors and conducts programs year-round. Historians, professors and members of the Jewish community from across Poland teach monthly postgraduate teacher-training courses in Jewish history and the history of Auschwitz there.

Alicja Bialecka, a member of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum’s education department, said that over the six years the program has been offered, about 200 teachers have completed the training of 350 classroom hours.

Bialecka said many teachers return to their schools and tell their colleagues about the training, creating more trained teachers and eventually an entire Holocaust curriculum.

The museum’s education department is in the middle of a year-long program for 1,000 students and teachers in the region. The program, “Auschwitz My Home,” shows visitors parts of the former concentration camp that usually are not shown, and makes participants think deeply about what it means to live in Poland.

“We want the students and their teachers to feel responsible for being part of this history, but also proud of this responsibility,” Bialecka said.

Bialecka looked at how far Holocaust remembrance has come in Poland since the early 1990s, immediately after the Communist era.

“In the field of education, of Auschwitz, the Second World War, and awareness of the suffering of victims of the Nazi regime, consciousness is high and I am optimistic,” she said.

Germany, like Poland, has been considering its history for many years. Susanne Meier, a German living in Krakow, remembers hearing about Auschwitz and the Holocaust in school.

“You come across the topic in history lessons in Germany, but during the last 10 years the German attitude toward history is becoming much healthier, something that has nothing to do with guilt,” she said.

Meier said that when she thinks about Auschwitz, “There’s no way as a human being that it cannot touch you, because it’s horrifying. But if it touches me, it has nothing to do with my Germanness. I feel it because I am a feeling person.”

Rudy dismissive of Palestinian talks

Rudy Giuliani (Jason Bedrick)

Rudy Giuliani (Jason Bedrick)

WASHINGTON (JTA) – Rudolph Giuliani’s foreign policy is neither a blueprint nor a prescription, his top adviser on the matter says. It is an outline of how the former can-do New York City mayor does business.

Charles Hill, a former top aide to Reagan-era Secretary of State George Shultz, spoke to JTA Monday after an article in Foreign Affairs by Giuliani, the front-runner in the race for the Republican presidential nomination.

The article describes “a comprehensive foreign policy approach, a comprehensive vision,” said Hill, who is now affiliated with the conservative Hudson Institute. “It’s fundamental to his approach from New York to the world. Everything works by a system, whether it’s a city, a corporation, an international situation.”

His Foreign Affairs article, entitled “Toward a Realistic Peace,” raised eyebrows when it suggested that immediate negotiations for Palestinian-Israeli peace were not in the interests of the United States.

“The Palestinian people need decent governance first, as a prerequisite for statehood,” Giuliani said in the article. “Too much emphasis has been placed on brokering negotiations between the Israelis and the Palestinians – negotiations that bring up the same issues again and again. It is not in the interest of the United States, at a time when it is being threatened by Islamist terrorists, to assist the creation of another state that will support terrorism.”

Giuliani, with his moderate stance on abortion and other social issues, and his longtime friendship with Israeli leaders, is seen as the GOP hopeful with the best chance of siphoning off Jewish voters, the overwhelming majority of whom historically have voted for Democrats in presidential elections.

Giuliani has been a staunch backer of President Bush’s decision to invade Iraq and has generally praised his approach to the war on terrorism. But the article appeared to distance Giuliani from the administration, which is encouraging the Israelis and the Palestinians to undertake another round of negotiations that would address at least some of the final-status issues, including borders, refugees and Jerusalem.

The article also could be read as a rebuke of the Bush administration’s push for elections as a first step in bringing democracy to the Arab world and its general refusal to negotiate directly with key foreign adversaries.

After the article appeared, the New York Sun described the former mayor’s argument as a “repudiation” of Bush’s current policy on the Israeli-Palestinian issue. Giuliani’s campaign appeared to seize on that characterization, redistributing the Sun article in a mass email to his supporters.

But Hill played down such differences, saying that Giuliani’s Foreign Affairs article should be treated in general terms and not as a critique of a particular policy.

“It’s a matter of going to negotiations and not declaring things from the top down, but going from the bottom up,” he said. “To be realistic, the foundations have to be there before you can begin to declare peace. Negotiations come again and again in cycles; if you want to see production, it’s got to be well-grounded.”

Giuliani does not count out maintaining relations with Mahmoud Abbas, the relatively moderate Palestinian Authority president. In an address to the greater Washington Jewish Community Relations Council in Rockville, Md., earlier this summer, Giuliani mocked former President Jimmy Carter for equating Abbas with the Hamas terrorist group. Carter said both deserved consideration by the United States and Israel.

“You can’t see a difference?” said Giuliani, eliciting laughter. “We should try to help Abbas, we should be real cautious and make sure that it’s realistic. Make sure we’re getting help from Jordan, other places so the burden doesn’t fall all on Israel, fall all on the United States.”

Supporting Abbas and playing down talk of statehood are not inconsistent, Giuliani’s advisers say.

“The main thing I would emphasize is that Mayor Giuliani believes that the Palestinians should have a state only if they earn it by fulfilling much the same set of conditions that are specified in the road map,” Norman Podhoretz, the former Commentary editor and another adviser to the candidate, told JTA in an e-mail. He was referring to an earlier plan for Israeli-Palestinian negotiations put forth by the Bush administration that has largely been overtaken by events in the region.

In campaign appearances, the thrust of Giuliani’s pitch is that he backs a foreign policy that puts the United States on the offensive.

He keeps what he calls his 12 commitments on a card tucked into his pocket, and No. 1, he says as he pulls it out, is “Keep America on the offense.”

In his recent article, Giuliani appeared to criticize the Bush administration for stressing elections in the Middle East, instead of focusing on building “sound legal, institutional, and cultural foundations.”

“History demonstrates that democracy usually follows good governance, not the reverse,” Giuliani wrote, citing the election of Hamas in the Palestinian territories as evidence of the need for the United States to be realistic about “how much we can accomplish alone and how long it will take to achieve lasting progress.”

Giuliani also staked out a more open approach to diplomacy than the Bush administration has.

“In recent years, diplomacy has received a bad name, because of two opposing perspectives,” he wrote. “One side denigrates diplomacy because it believes that negotiation is inseparable from accommodation and almost indistinguishable from surrender. The other seemingly believes that diplomacy can solve nearly all problems, even those involving people dedicated to our destruction.”

Bush has rejected expansive diplomacy with Iran and Syria, confining contacts with both nations to mostly low-level discussions on containing the insurgency in Iraq. Giuliani said he would not rule out negotiations with Iran, as long as it was from a position of strength.

“Those with whom we negotiate – whether ally or adversary – must know that America has other options,” he wrote. “The theocrats ruling Iran need to understand that we can wield the stick as well as the carrot, by undermining popular support for their regime, damaging the Iranian economy, weakening Iran’s military, and, should all else fail, destroying its nuclear infrastructure.”

Hill, the candidate’s adviser, said such a perspective embraced all the tools in the box, from diplomacy to force.

“You look in front of you, see what there is to work with,” he said. Right now in the Middle East, “there’s a lot to work with but it needs to be put in good working order.”

Hill added: “Diplomacy is a very useful tool, but it has to be employed with strength and leverage.”

Critics of the article said Giuliani overreaches, calling for American hegemony rather than cooperation.

Fred Kaplan, the military analyst for Slate, the online news publication, said in a critique that it is “one of the shallowest articles of its kind I’ve ever read.”

Kaplan singled out Giuliani’s prescription for a makeover at the State Department, where the former mayor said “the time has come to redefine the diplomats’ mission down to their core purpose: presenting U.S. policy to the rest of the world.”

U.S. ambassadors, Giuliani said, “must clearly understand and clearly advocate for U.S. policies and be judged on the results.”

That undercuts the ambassador’s role of explaining to a U.S. administration why its policies are sometimes unpopular, Kaplan said.

Hill said Giuliani wanted U.S. diplomats to get back to what he said were the basics of American diplomacy.

“It’s always been a problem in diplomacy of any country when the ambassadors sent abroad to represent their own country are the lawyers” for their host country, he said. “It’s the ambassadors of the other countries that explain their country.”

Hill dismissed concerns that Giuliani was beholden to neoconservative principles because of a team drawn from the movement’s ranks. In addition to Hill and Podhoretz, Giuliani is also taking advice from Martin Kramer, the Israeli-American Middle East scholar.

“No one locks the mayor into anything,” Hill said. “It’s a misperception, it gives the wrong sense to put labels on. There are a very wide range of people who are signed on to the mayor.”

Ahmadinejad: Talks ‘a step forward

Talks between Iran and six world powers were “a step forward,” Iran’s president said.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told reporters in Iran Sunday that the previous day’s negotiations, which included the participation of U.S. State Department official William Burns, were “forward-moving.”

The six international powers – Russia, China, France, Germany, Britain and the United States – gave Iran two weeks to stop its nuclear activities or face tougher sanctions.

Iran’s chief nuclear negotiator, Saeed Jalili, would not discuss a freeze on the country’s nuclear work, insisting it was for peaceful purposes.

Questions Posted to "Ask a Dispatcher"

Q. I'm familiar with seatbelt laws and car seat laws, but I don't know the answer to this question: What are the laws concerning passengers in the bed of a truck? Without a canopy? With a canopy?

Dear Juneau Resident,

This is a surprisingly tough question. You would think there would be an easy, short answer but there isn't. There are exceptions to the seatbelt law. School buses are one. Another exception is vehicles without seatbelts and the seatbelts were not removed for the purpose of avoiding the seatbelt/childseat laws. See CBJ ordiance 72.10.160 at the end of this answer.

Yes, the last exception is big enough to drive a pickup with people in the back through it. However, police do have other laws to work with to address dangerous behavior. The driver can be charged with everything from reckless endangerment to manslaughter depending on the specifics of the situation. A canopy may or may not make a difference when analyzing how reckless the driver was or what risk was disregarded by the driver. Basically, if someone unrestrained in the back of a pickup you are driving gets hurt, you are probably in big trouble since a reasonable person would know that the situation created risk for the passengers.

Ironically, laws about dogs in the back of vehicles are very specific. See CBJ ordinance 72.10.130 below. Dog lovers hate the idea of a dog flying through the air after a collision, but are there people who would take the same risk with their kids, family, and friends? Yes.

72.10.160 - Use of seat belts and child safety devices.

(a)Except as provided in (c) of this section, a person:
(1)16 years of age or older may not occupy a motor vehicle while being driven unless restrained by a safety belt; and
(2)may not operate a motor vehicle unless restrained by a safety belt.
(b)Except as provided in (c) of this section, a driver may not transport a child under the age of 16 in a motor vehicle unless the driver has provided the required safety device and properly secured each child as described in this subsection. If the child is less than four years of age, the child shall be properly secured in a child safety device meeting the standards of the United States Department of Transportation. If the child is four but not yet 16 years of age, the child shall be properly secured in a child safety device approved for a child of that age and size by the United States Department of Transportation or in a safety belt, whichever is appropriate for the particular child.
(c)Subsections (a) and (b) do not apply to:
(1)passengers in a school bus, unless the school bus is required to be equipped with seat belts by the United States Department of Transportation, or an emergency vehicle;
(2)a vehicle operator acting in the course of employment delivering mail or newspapers from inside the vehicle to roadside mail or newspaper boxes;
(3)a person or class of persons exempted by the State of Alaska regulation under AS 28.05.096; or
(4)a person required to be restrained by safety belts under (a) or (b) of this section if the motor vehicle is not equipped with safety belts.
(d)A person may not remove a safety belt from a vehicle solely to be exempted under (c)(4) of this section.

72.10.130 - Carrying dogs on outside of vehicles.

It is unlawful for any person to transport any living dog on the running board, fenders, hood, cargo bed, or other outside part of any vehicle, unless the dog is restrained or confined by a leash, harness, cage, enclosure or other restrictive device designed, installed, maintained and employed in a manner adequate to:

(1)Protect the dog from falling or being thrown from the vehicle;
(2)Prevent the dog from approaching within one foot of the tailgate, side rail or other outside part of the vehicle; and
(3)Permit the safe operation of the vehicle.

Sustainable commodities such as organic cotton are enjoying major growth thanks to a surge in private sector sourcing commitments, says a new report.

The State of Sustainability Initiatives (SSI) Review 2014, published by an alliance of international organisations, analyses the market trends of the 16 most used standards initiatives, including Organic, Fairtrade and Rainforest Alliance.

It found double and triple digit growth across the majority of initiatives surveyed for the year 2012, ranging across ten leading commodity sectors, with certified goods having an estimated trade value of US$36.1bn – and much more in market terms.

The report said voluntary sustainability standards were “gaining traction” in mainstream markets, with companies highlighted including sporting goods business Adidas.

“The growing number of companies that have made commitments to source sustainably illustrates the critical role that the private sector plays in overall market growth of products certified under these initiatives,” the report said.

The average annual growth rate of certified sustainable production across all commodity sectors, excluding biofuels, was 41% in 2012, compared to just 2% in the corresponding conventional commodity markets.

Meanwhile, sustainable cotton production was up 55% over the same period, the report said.

Angelina Jolie Leaves Paris Hilton

Angelina Jolie Leaves Paris Hilton

No, not celebrity socialite and hotel heiress Paris Hilton.  The Hilton in Hotel in Paris, France.  What were you thinking? After an hour and an half yesterday afternoon, Angelina Jolie, 30, left the Hilton Hotel where she’s rumored to have met with United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) officials.  Angelina Jolie left the Hilton carrying a stack of paperback books including 282-page humanitarian aid book "Condemned to Repeat?: The Paradox of Humanitarian Action" by Fiona Terry (inset picture).  Here’s a synopsis —

The director of research and former head of the French section of Medicins sans Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders), Terry has written a compelling book about the failure of international humanitarian organizations to take into consideration a wider political context before providing aid. This shortsightedness, argues Terry, results in the paradox that humanitarian aid aimed at alleviating suffering instead sustains the oppressive action that caused it. In clear and concise analysis, she begins with the controversial claim that the aid agencies respond in knee-jerk fashion to any conflict without further investigating or even considering the ramifications of their aid. In four documented cases, Afghan camps in Pakistan, Salvadoran and Nicaraguan camps in Honduras, Cambodian camps in Thailand, and Rwandan camps in Zaire Terry details how aid given to help people often ends up in the coffers of the combatants. Terry backs up her claim with photocopies of documents that will be of special interest to scholars of the 1996 Rwanda massacres.

Shortly after her meeting, Angelina Jolie was whisked off  and returned to her family — Brad Pitt, 42, son Maddox Jolie-Pitt, 4, and daughter Zahara Jolie-Pitt, 1 — back at their rented Parisian apartment nearby.  More pictures in the gallery!

    Watch how fast it goes from1 to 100. Its funny how people either love them or hate them. The thought that there are children involved.. I would think people would want it to last. How many kids grow up in a broken home? No matter what you feel on how they got here..can’t you just see the children and hope they grow up in a happy two parent home? You can not like AJ or BP.. but look at those kids, they deserve what everyone else has no? I wish them the best.. and maybe a day without some cameras!!

  • anon

    Angelina looks tired? She must have played with Brad last night.

  • anonymouse

    Maybe she looks the way she does given some sobering facts she learned at her meeting. "Condemned to Repeat … " has serious implications for the aid policies she has been supporting. Thank you JJ for including the paragraph on the report.

  • Rica

    Oh please!!!Don’t send her to my home town. Chicago doesn’t want her either. She’s gotta stir up some publicity "The Breakup" is coming out in May. It’s gonna take that long to find anyone interested enough to go see the darn flick. She knows that all eyes will be on ‘tomkat’s litter’ and Brangelina’s bundle. Ain’t life grand!!!! LOL

  • genggeng

    This is why I am so enamored with Angelina — continuing to learn and read up on her humanitarian concerns even on her seventh month — when she could just lie down and be pampered. She marches to the beat of a different drum — what a woman!

  • Phi

    You’d look tired too if you were 7 months along and had a 4 year old, a 14 month old and a healthy red blooded man at home. I was tired until my kids graduated from grade school.

  • angelah

    loving the pics j@red. oh my she’s so gorgeous; the countdown is nearing dun dun dun LOL @ rica!

  • reader

    I’m glad that she reads this book "Condemned to Repeat?", at least according to the synopsis, so that she can make sure all the money she gives out won’t be used for bad purposes. I feel excited for her: to have the time to read anything she wants, AND the will power and financial resources to help. One simply cannot but be impressed by the determination she’s demonstrated in her humanitarian work. It’s touching.She’s a true role model for all celebrities, all pregnant women, as well as any other citizens of the world. And she looks astounding just the way she does/is. Maybe all the mental activity and thoughts she’s been giving to her humanitarian efforts have helped her maintaining her body weight. Mental stress can cause a person loosing weight, isn’t that so?

  • exactly

    I didn’t know we’re both Chicago, Rica :-)I agree it’s probably another Break Up publicity stunt.

    it is angie leaving the hotel why bring up jen’s name what publicity is there in moving to chicago any way and she never said she was moving to chicago caterogically she said she might read and understand and do not believe all that yu read and as for the break-up and friends with money they have both received great reviews just be happy for her once no matter what yu think of her she did not kill someone and she is not harming yu in any way is she if yu do not like her or her films guess what just simply do not go and watch it or doand do not read about her it is reeally about time yu guyz get a grip and realize these people are mere motals like yu and i and they make mistakes too leave jen out of this and let her leave her life i wish everyone happiness they all desereve it enough abuses

  • cher

    Wow! She looks stunning. If only all of the Hollywood Mamas could look as good as Angie and Gwen Stefani. AJ carries herself with a grace that is not matched by anyone. You wont see her holding her head down (ala Katie Holmes). She is an independent woman in love with her children, man and work. Good for her!

  • 92122girl

    I think AJ looks great! Maybe she looks tired/sad because she is seeing things happening to children that we can only imagine. I know a lot of people hate.. but a child??? There is no amount of ANYTHING an innocent child can do in this world to deserve what some of these kids go through. I would be sadden to see her leaving this type of meeting smiling. When you take on this type of plight.. I has to cut you to the core. No matter how you feel abouther.. Lets just thank her for caring/ and actually doing something about children no one else does. Please respect that no matter how you feel about her and BP.

    so ‘reader’, do ya think Jon Voight is amazing. He certainly contributed a lot to who Angelina is. Of course she’s not speaking to him since he called her out on getting some help, but hey, I say he did the best he could. The woman is seems to be messed up.

Rihanna: Nude with Kate Moss for 'V Magazine' Spring 2013!

Rihanna goes nude with just Kate Moss shielding her on the cover of V Magazine‘s “Dynamic Duos” issue for Spring 2013, on newsstands February 28.

Here is what the 25-year-old singer had to share with the mag:

On not knowing Kate had a kid: “I didn’t know she had a child, and she still looks like this? So there is still hope for people who want babies and still want to be sexy.”

On Kate wanting to join the Mario Testino shoot: “Kate overheard us talking and she said, ‘I want to do it with you!’ Again, I was like, Are you f**cking kidding me?”…”I was dying on the inside. All my fantasies were coming true: Mario, V, Kate Moss.”

On getting naked for the shoot: “And that was the best shot… Take her top off and put that b*tch on my lap!”

On not reading gossip: “I don’t read it anymore. I already have too many voices in my head right now! I don’t have room for that other stuff. If I let that other stuff in, it’ll take the space of productive sh*t, and that isn’t good.”

  • Love The Shoes

    Their decadence isn’t for us. They aren’t attempting to shock anyone; This is pure in”our world” narcissism” This is for their “I’m SO bored I think I’ll fly to Ibiza for a drink” crowd. It’s ridiculous and the 70′s jet set celebs did it SO much better.

    Every time I see Kim KarTrashian I wonder WTF are her 15 minutes going to be up? And her family’s, too. Khloe’s the only one in that family with a lick of sense – and the tabs keep saying her daddy wasn’t Robert Kardashian so that’s probably why. And don’t get me started on Kris Kardashian. That woman embodies “stage mother” like it’s something to be proud of. The whole lot of them need to fall back down whatever dark hole they crawled out of. And empire built on a her daughter’s sex tape. That’s taking “Mommy Dearest” to a whole new low. Joan Crawford would be proud of her.

    Phool -
    Yeah, it snowed like hell yesterday…but nowhere near what CT got the weekend before. They got something like 48″. We got 12-14″ – depending which news station is teling the tale. I had to abandon my car in a snow drift 2 blocks from my house yesterday. About 2 hours ago I went back and they’d plowed so I had snow piled up on the 2 passenger side tires. I was pissed but after I removed the snow around the tires I put it in reverse, backed up a little bit, the put it in Drive, but the wheel to the right and floored it…worked like charm and saved myself an overprice towing. As I mentioned yesterday – I FVCKING HATE WINTER!!!

    It’s supposed to a skit for Handjob’s After Lately show. Last year Ticky did the promo for it and they named dropped Brad and made “jokes” about “Brad who?”. Nobody laughed at that either. Mainly because Handjob is about as funny as going to Olive Garden and asking for spaghettit and getting a boiled plateful of Ticky’s old weave hair with meatless marinara sauce – and no free all-you-can-eat salad and breadsticks…

    ROTFLMAO. Puh-leeze. You people could at least read the “clues” for COMPREHENSION. BBT hasn’t been “goes in and out of coupledom” in donkey years. He’s been with Connie Anglund since 2002 – even if he did supposedly have an affair with Tea Leoni. And Angie isn’t helping BBT with any projects. BBT may be a flake but he can still get a project greenlighted without anyone’s help. Ticky he ain’t.
    PS – You people need to make up your minds. Either Angie’s pining away from Colin Farrell and doing him on the sly or she’s going hot-and-heavy with BBT. Your indecisiveness is giving me a headache. Meanwhile…Brad and Angie continue to lives their lives and intertwine them more and more each day while idiots are sitting around making up fake blind itmes for morons like you to slobber over thinking it’s Angie. As Angie said, “He’s not just the love mylife. He’s my family and I hold that very dear.”
    PPS – I’d like to know exactly when it is that these people think Angie has time for all these affairs? Six kids, a husband, humanitarian work, a wine business, jewelry designing, directing and acting projects, projects in Cambodia & Ethiopia to oversee, several charitable organizations she’s started or belongs to – and hot sex date nights with Brad. BUT…she’s secretly doing either BBT or Colin or both. We always knew Angie is an amazing multi-tasker, so you go girl!

    # 213 Omgah @ 02/22/2013 at 3:04 pm
    Oh yeah…one last thing…I love how all these BIs insinuating Angie’s cheating with an old lover always surface when they’re in LA for any length of time. I guess we should at least be greatful that Terd’s not around anymore claiming she’s still on smack. Major yawning here….

    @Passing Through:

    Maybe no one would speculate anything if Brad wasnt looking like BBT day by day. At least with the loonie hated Jen and Gwenyth Paltrow for that matter he looked like he actually bathed.With nannies around you cant blame it on him being a father–Angie sure has time to look good! But this is a Rhianna thread so………..

  • Dirk_Reese-Fan_whatelse!

    I really would like to know, what CB is now thinking about these pics?
    All Possibilities:
    A) It´s just for the money and for the fantasies of those, who like such pics.
    B) It´s because Ri is bi.
    C) Combination of A and B
    D) It just has been a fantasy of Ri without being bi.
    E) Combination of A and D
    F) It´s because Ri is a lesbian.
    G) Combination of A and F
    Any other possibilities? No!
    So, sing this like the Jackson 5: A,B,C – No one knows Ri !

    Have you heard that Marc Jacobs cruelly tortures a talented young girl and steals her fashion designes? He copies anything she does. He fooled her with love. She is called Angel Barta. There are more articles with shocking details at: styleangelique.blogspot. hu/2012/12/marc-jacobs-godfather-in-sponge-bob.html

    Kate Moss looks really young here. Had to be some airbrushing going on. But she does look nice.

  • yeah

    Rihanna is so gay.

    Wow Rhianna is so edgy…… She’s still an idiot. Remember the time Chris Brown beat her and she got back together with him?

  • mimi

    This is disturbing that they have to get her naked to be on a magazine.

    She is talented and was a victim of abuse, and this is what they put her through?
    Can’t she be wearing clothes and be chosen to grace the mag cover in her own right as an entertainer?

  • Dirk_Reese-Fan_whatelse!

    @Natasha (Nataliya) Stasyi:
    I think the button is gone in order to avoid an eventual influence towards the judgement of the jury of the “2013 Oscars”.
    Or is it just a coincidence and just the same problem they had at the end of 2012?
    After the “2013 Oscars” the button will appear again, I think.

  • Natasha (Nataliya) Stasyi

On Space Time Foam by Tomás Saraceno in Milan

November 13, 2012

Want to cure your fear of heights? Want to make it worse? Want the illusion of flight and walking on air? Well, then you should head to Milan, Italy and take part in the interactive installation, On Space Time Foam, by Tomás Saraceno at Hangar Bicocca atrium. The piece is a floating structure composed of three levels of clear film that can be accessed by the public.

The work, whose development took months of planning and experimentation with a multidisciplinary team of architects and engineers, will then continue as an important project during a residency of the artist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology - MIT in Cambridge (MA).

On Space Time Foam is a very particular, unusual and suggestive work of art. It can be considered as an experiment that nevertheless requires the willingness to interact, individual and collective sense of responsibility and special behavioral conditions. For this reason we are providing rules and suggestions to guarantee to the public the best experience possible for the whole duration of the exhibition.

And if you are scared, you can watch from the ground floor. The installation is on display through February 3, 2013. (images via gessato)

Proposition 32 — Political contributions by payroll deductions: Special interests taint elections

by bruce l. bialosky

Follow j. on   and

The voters of California have put in place two elements of major reform to our election process. The first was taking the redistricting process out of the hands of special interests and career politicians. The second was an attempt to stem what had become highly partisan elections by giving voters in primaries an opportunity to vote for all the potential candidates.

The third and final reform that will clean up the election process is to put a stop to special interests spending hundreds of millions of dollars to taint the elections. That is what Proposition 32 does and why it deserves your support.

Vb_nameProposition 32 restricts special interests (particularly corporations and unions) from contributing directly to candidates or committees affiliated with the candidates. It also goes on to restrict government contractors of any kind from making contributions to candidates. It is pretty straightforward.

Ask yourself this question: Has the state government in California been operating well? The budget of the state has neither been balanced nor on time in a dozen years. Because it is now the law that legislators pass a timely budget or lose their pay, they did so this year for the first time in a decade. But the budget is balanced only if one assumes the passage of Prop. 30 to garner new revenues (from you), and if one further assumes that certain Californians will reap huge profits from their sale of Facebook stock. Is this really a way to run a government?

Local governments are in worse shape. Stockton, Mammoth Lakes and San Bernardino, which have all declared bankruptcy, are just the tip of the iceberg of local governments on the precipice. Many question when an even larger city, like Los Angeles, might have to enter bankruptcy because it is unable to meet its obligations.

The reason for this mess at the state and local level is abundantly clear. It is what has come to be called “crony capitalism.” The special interests give huge money to their favored candidates during the election. Then, once those politicians get into office, they hear a knock on their door. They are reminded of who gave them the money to get into office and asked to return the favor by protecting the projects or salaries or rich benefits of the patron saints. Forty percent of legislation passed is written by lobbyists and just handed to the politicians to vote into law.

And who ends up paying for these boondoggles? You and I do. But we don’t have a say, as the politicians cut backroom deals (often ones they don’t wish to participate in) against our interests.

Think about it — government contractors win a contract, and they can turn around and give a contribution to the very politicians who gave them the contract. Sometimes they are so brazen that they make the contributions before the vote, because they know no one is really watching them. The press that used to look over their shoulders has gone out of business in this new age of electronic journalism. The only newspaper watching the state Legislature is the Sacramento Bee, and it doesn’t have the resources to keep an eye on all of them and the governor. It is no wonder the taxpayers are the losers in this entire process.

You may have seen ads against Prop. 32. If you notice who supports those ads, it is the very special interests that are breaking the financial backs of our governments. They want to protect their gravy trains, which come out of your hard-earned paycheck. They will tell you they are helping you, but they are only lining their own pockets.

After over a decade of financial disaster, it is time for the residents of California to take back control of their government. We have taken the steps to stop politicians from protecting their seats from redistricting and stopped the wildly partisan election process. Now we need to take the final step to stop the graft and corruption that is bringing our government to its knees financially.

Vote yes on Prop. 32 and change the course of California.

Kansas State University

Farmhouse in field

K-State researchers and their partners making it easier for rural Kansans of all ages to stay healthy despite limited access to trails, gyms

By Erinn Barcomb-Peterson

With fresh air and wide-open spaces, rural communities may seem like hotbeds for healthy living.

Limited access to walking trails, bicycle-friendly streets and gyms tell another story.

"I take for granted having a bowling alley or a skate park nearby," said Nikki Ramsey, Kansas State University master's student in family studies and human services from Statesville, N.C.

Although Ramsey's hometown is small, she said her region is like many parts of the United States, in which small towns abut other towns and connect to a large city like Charlotte.

"In these Kansas communities, you have to have a car to be anywhere other than among grass and trees," she said.

It's a challenge among so-called frontier states, said Elaine Johannes, assistant professor of family studies and human services at K-State. What looks like open space often is privately owned, used for agriculture and otherwise not suitable for recreation. Local parks often are not big enough for walking trails or skating facilities, while local streets may not be suitable for cyclists or pedestrians.

"It's especially hard for kids living in frontier states to be active because they may be on a bus for 45 minutes to an hour each way to school," Johannes said.

She and Ramsey are part of a state team supporting the Get it-Do it program to provide communities with $3,000 grants to improve community health and fitness. Get it-Do it is a collaborative effort with Kansas PRIDE, a community organization to improve quality of life in rural communities, and with K-State Research and Extension's Partnerships for Healthier Kansans. The program's funding has come from the K-State Center for Engagement and Community Development and K-State Research and Extension.

"A good portion of people write small towns off," Johannes said. "When you talk to the youth, they still want their community to be there. These towns get a kind of energy boost from these small grants."

The communities working on Get it-Do it projects this year are Glasco, Grinnell, Melvern, Rossville, Spearville and Stafford, whose project is creating a bird-and-bike trail where people can get exercise while enjoying the waterfowl that come through the Cheyenne Bottoms. New signage along the trail will educate visitors about physical health.

Grinnell is working toward better signage on its trails and making them more accessible to people who use wheelchairs or have other disabilities. Glasco is bringing yoga, tai chi and Zumba fitness classes to its Walk Kansas activities. Melvern created hiking and biking trails, and is encouraging other outdoor activities like fishing.

Rossville is starting a sand volleyball program, which the community envisions allowing players to compete with other teams in towns like Grinnell. Spearville is starting a summer youth-led recreation program through which teens will teach other teens about physical health.

Johannes and Ramsey said that a core part of these projects is having youths and adults working together.

"A lot of the little towns don't have a lot of young people," Ramsey said. "This is a way of making sure they get out and have fun."

A lot of the work on the projects takes place over the summer, Johannes said, when Ramsey and other K-State students will visit the communities to observe their progress. When the projects are complete, the data they gather will go to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment's Healthy Kansas Initiative.

The Get it-Do it program also gives communities experience in applying for grants with the hope that they can pursue more funding as their projects develop, Johannes said.

"You take a town with a personality and give it appropriate support, and you get these original -- or unique -- programs," she said. "Unlike artificial programs, they'll survive well after the grant money is gone. I hope the youth will say, 'This is what I'm attached to; this is my town.'"
