"Вопрос справедливости в этом деле - геноциде черкесов - он может прозвучать на любой территории." Mar. 21st, 2010 @ 04:02 am

В грузинский парламент поступила просьба о признании геноцида черкесов - Радио Свобода © 2010 RFE/RL, Inc.

ПРАГА--ТБИЛИСИ---В грузинский парламент поступила просьба о признании геноцида черкесского народа Российской империей в 19 веке. Соответствующую резолюцию сегодня в Тбилиси приняли на конференции под названием «Сокрытые нации, длящиеся преступления: черкесы и народы Северного Кавказа между прошлым и будущим». На конференции присутствовал главный редактор радио «Эхо Кавказа» Андрей Бабицкий. Мы связались с ним сразу после принятия резолюции:

Андрей Бабицкий: Насколько я понимаю, сегодня в Тбилиси собрались представители радикального крыла черкесской зарубежной диаспоры. Глен Ховард, президент “Jamestown foundation“ – эта организация, которая проводит сегодняшнюю конференцию- сказал мне, что им не удалось привлечь для участия в конференции представителей турецкой диаспоры, которая предпочитает не портить отношения с Россией. Read more... )Нам удалось связать с главой кабардинского общественного движения Хасе Ибрагимом Ягановым:

--Давайте начнем с того, что вы были туда приглашены, но не поехали. Почему?

Ибрагим Яганов: Я воевал в Абхазии и мне, откровенно говоря, очень неудобно перед своими товарищами, особенно перед памятью погибших. Думаю, что для этой темы место было выбрано довольно неудачно. И я по моральным принципам никак не мог туда поехать. Если еще мероприятия там будут, до того, как Грузия примет Абхазию, у нас никаких отношений с Грузией быть не может.

--Если Грузия признает геноцид черкесов, вы к этому отнесетесь отрицательно?

Ибрагим Яганов: Нет, мы к этому отнесемся очень спокойно. При чем тут отрицательно? Вопрос справедливости в этом деле- геноциде черкесов- он может прозвучать на любой территории. Просто я к этому отношения иметь не буду.

--Если такое признание состоится, какова будет реакция России?

Ибрагим Яганов: Реакция России будет весьма отрицательной. Но, тем не менее, мы должны бороться за свои права. Историческая справедливость должна восторжествовать. Надеемся, что когда-нибудь Россия, которая, мы надеемся, сегодня движется по демократическому пути, все таки обратит внимание на эти вопросы.

Совет национальных организаций Карачаево-Черкесии надеется договориться и с карачаевцами Mar. 20th, 2010 @ 03:44 pm

Необходимость создания в Карачаево-Черкесии Координационного совета руководителей национальных общественных организаций и движений возникла в связи с тем, что в республике накалена обстановка с межнациональным строительством. Об этом ИА REGNUM Новости 19 марта заявил член Совета, председатель общественного движения "Русь" КЧР Николай Хохлачев.

Координационный совет руководителей национальных общественных организаций и движений был создан в КЧР в начале марта. Соглашение о создании совета подписали руководители общественных организаций: абазин ("Абаза", председатель Мусса Такушинов), черкесов ("Адыгэ Хасэ", председатель Мухаммед Черкесов), русских ("Русь", председатель Николай Хохлачев), ногайцев ("Бирлик"), греков ("Кали-Архи"), осетин ("Лаба") и армян ("Масис").

Основными задачами Координационного совета, как указано в заявлении о его создании, являются:

Отвечая на вопрос ИА REGNUM Новости о том, не может ли негативно отразиться на ситуации в республике то, что в Координационный совет вошли лидеры не всех национальных движений, Хохлачев сказал: "Вошли все кроме карачаевцев. Мы их пригласили также как и всех. Они дали нам протокол делегирования своего представителя Хачирова, руководителя общественного движения "Джамаат" (самого старого общественного движения в КЧР, в воскресенье отмечается 20-летие создания этой организации). Но на следующий день они забрали протокол и сказали, что не будут принимать участия. Тем не менее, мы все-таки хотим работать и договориться с ними. Я думаю, что разум восторжествует".

So everyone who told me that Pete Carroll would be great for the Seahawks, you now officially owe me a whiskey.

Are you kidding me? Dropping down from 40th to 60th in this year's draft, and giving up our 3rd rounder next year? For someone who's never thrown a pro pass? For someone who couldn't even beat out Billy Volek for the BACKUP job in San Diego!?

AND you're gonna give him $10 million over two years?

I'm ... I'm speechless. Maybe if I'm lucky, they'll find a way to move that impending lockout up to this year, so this madness can stop.

Tomlinson on Dan Patrick's show

DP: You'd never play for the Raiders?
LT: No

DP: Even if it was a great offer?
LT: Yeah, even if it was a great offer. The things we built here in San Diego going against the Raiders -- we beat them 12, 13 straight times. I couldn't just go to the other side.

DP: What if that's the only offer, that or retire?
DP: I'm retiring.


(I think the last DP is a typo and should be an LT)

LiveJournal Major Notes: Global navigation, Mobile, Bug fixes Mar. 16th, 2010 @ 03:33 pm
[info]theljstaff, posting in [info]news

We're going to keep this short and sweet (Frank and birthday vgifts will be back next week). You've probably seen the updates to our main menu. Don't be alarmed. You'll find everything you need, just in slightly shifted format. Just so you know, we based these changes on input from both experienced and new users who were not familiar with LiveJournal. Our goal was to reduce barriers to usability and make LiveJournal more accessible and easy to navigate. Please note that this is a work in progress. We welcome your detailed suggestions in [info]feedback. We thank you, in advance, for helping us improve your LiveJournal experience.

We've updated the global navigation menu:

Here's a quick breakdown of what you'll find where:
  • Scrapbook can now be found under Profile (thanks for your feedback, btw), along with Settings, Stats, and Edit Profile.
  • You'll find all the tools you need to post and update entries under Journal, which includes posting and editing entries, managing comments and tags, and customizing your journal's style.
  • Friends contains all of your friend settings, from filtering your Friends page to adding, removing, and finding new and existing friends on LiveJournal.
  • Under Communities, you'll find links to manage your communities, accept community invites, and create new communities.
  • Explore includes search features, RSS feeds, Question of the Day, and FRNK radio.
  • Under Shop, you'll find links to upgrade or give a paid account, buy virtual gifts, purchase LiveJournal merchandise (like T-shirts), and view your payment history.

LiveJournal Mobile update:

We've enhanced LiveJournal's mobile site to improve usability and load times. We've made more of LiveJournal's features accessible via mobile, including posting comments, uploading photos, reading and commenting on friends' posts, finding and messaging friends, and more. We look forward to reviewing your feedback and recommendations for future improvements.

Other important changes:

  • You can lock comments to prevent further commenting on a post, while leaving existing comments visible.
  • We replaced the "Tell a friend" link with a new "Share This" widget that lets you share LiveJournal posts on other social media sites, including Facebook, Digg, Twitter, etc.
  • We changed some of the icons on entries (you can hover over the icons to view descriptions).
  • You'll see a Tag count on your Tag management page.
  • You'll now see the 10 most recent vgifts on your profile page. To remove vgifts, left-click on the vgift and choose whether you want to remove the vgift from your profile or delete it entirely.
  • We've added options to help you control receipt of vgifts, which you'll find in My Stuff under Edit Profile. You can now enable vgifts from friends or everyone and disable anonymous vgifts.

We've got your fix:

  • UPDATE: Rolling several updates into one listing here -- 1) Scrapbook should be back and working again. 2) The problem with the Update Journal page in IE6 and IE7 should be fixed now. 3) The problem with the userpic add-on package pricing has been fixed and refunds issued to anyone who was overcharged while the erroneous prices were in place.
  • Non-conforming images will now be automatically resized for custom mood themes.
  • Line breaks no longer count as two characters against your entry's character limit.
  • We fixed a bug on the Manage Tags page so you can clear all tags and add new tags.
  • We corrected the UI for the update.bml page so it displays properly in IE8.
Thanks again for joining us. Frank and company will be back next week!

Raiders QBs Gradkowski, Frye sign tenders

So the Raiders are going into 2010 with the same trio o' fail as '09 (JaMarshmallow, Frye and Gradkowski). And nary a veteran backstop to be found.

So... 5-11 again for the Raiders? (Maybe 6-10 if they can find a reliable WR?)

Giants and Jets will both open at home Mar. 15th, 2010 @ 04:53 pm
[info]uncleartie425, posting in [info]nflfans
Giants on Sunday afternoon, September 12 (my emphasis) and the Jets on Monday night, September 13. The Commish flipped a coin (with one team's logo as heads and the other as tails?) as to which one got the Sunday game. Opponents to be announced "soon", presumably when the league announces the high-profile Opening Weekend games. My guess is that the Giants will get the 4:15 game. Also, the Jets will host the first pre-season game at the new digs.

We know that the Saints are busy at home that week. Indy does not play the Jets this year, but (outside the division) Baltimore, Cincinnati, Green Bay, Minnesota and Houston do. You might even want to cross the Vikes off the list, as they seem to be the favorite opponent for the Saints.

And now in addition to Quinn leaving town they dealt underachiveing DE/LB Kamerion Wimbley to the Raiders for a Third Rounder, giving me another Browns 1st Rounder Jersey that is no longer applicable.

I like Peyton Hillis in the Broncos trade but why is Cleveland propping up the AFC West all the sudden. Still better than the Jets I guess.

Brady Quinn Traded to Broncos Mar. 14th, 2010 @ 05:31 pm
[info]sauce1977, posting in [info]nflfans
Jay Glazer reports:


Brady Quinn has a new home.

The Cleveland Browns have traded their former starting quarterback to the Denver Broncos, FOXSports.com has learned.

In return, the Browns will receive running back Peyton Hillis and two conditional draft picks.

The move comes one day after the Browns signed free agent QB Jake Delhomme to a two-year deal and less than a week after the team traded for Seneca Wallace.

Quinn, the 22nd overall select ion in the 2007 NFL Draft, played in just 10 games for the Browns in 2009, completing 52.2 percent of his passes while throwing for eight touchdowns and seven interceptions.


Well, so much for The Kyle Orton Experience!

Ladies and Gentlemen, your Denver Broncos!

So.. Apparently Tomlinson left NY without a contract (and without a J-E-T-S, JETS JETS JETS! jersey) today.

Over/under on him choosing either the Vikings/Jets or making visits early next week, anyone?

In case anyone cared, Packers NT Ryan Picket and S Nick Collins got paid today with contract extensions. Picket got 4/$28 million, Collins got 3/$23.4 million.

In other disturbing Packers news, they now have a hideous alternate jersey. Underneath the cut is Dusty Rhodes a picture of the alternate jersey.

Visual evidence )

Now watch them wear this against the Lions and their awful throwbacks. It will be like watching two NFL teams wearing Division III uniforms.

Едва ли к той увесистой бочке дёгтя нерадостных для россиян новостей из канадского Ванкувера могло добавить горечи сообщение о том, что перед «Русским домом» была проведена демонстрация против олимпиады в Сочи-2014; однако, российские СМИ всё же весьма старательно обошли молчанием этот эксцесс.

Нужно добавить, что подобные акции прошли ранее перед офисом российской миссии при ООН в Нью-Йорке, в Вашингтоне, генконсульством РФ в Стамбуле, в Брюсселе и некоторых городах компактного проживания черкесской диаспоры. В адрес председателя МОК Жака Рогге направлено обращение, создано движение “No Sochi-2014”.

Единственной ныне реакцией российских властей относительно этой темы является обращение президента РФ Б.Н. Ельцина «К 130-летию окончания Кавказской войны» от 18 мая 1994 г., в котором признаётся наличие проблемы возвращения потомков беженцев и вынужденных переселенцев с западного Кавказа. В правовом смысле данный документ является «преюдициальной легитимацией» факта насильственной депортации; может быть, настал момент сделать следующий шаг и найти возможности для репатриации черкесов, хотя бы в рамках широко разрекламированной некоторое время назад программы возвращения соотечественников, закрыв этим трагическую страницу в истории взаимоотношений народов?

LiveJournal Major Notes: March header, Charitable vgift, Squirrels in love Mar. 11th, 2010 @ 04:11 pm
[info]theljstaff, posting in [info]news

We're finishing up a few odds and ends before our next major release. Our mighty Ops guys continue to slay spambots and balance load times on a highwire without a safety net (which is kind of tough dressed in full ninja gear). Down on solid ground, we're celebrating this week's virtual birthday party with a warm toast to pants. If you can rearrange the letters of your favorite city, state, and/or country (feel free to combine these elements) to spell one of Frank's favorite treats (e.g., pants, wire, paper, etc.), he'll send you over a can of whipped cream to top it all off (provided you return the empty can for his midnight snack)! And, with that, let the word scrambling commence!

Stuff you should know:

  • We're still working on the delayed/missing notifications issue. Sorry, we're frustrated too. We'll keep you posted.
  • Last week, we became aware that a recently-implemented script was overwriting affiliate referral fees for some of our users. Once we confirmed this, our Ops team quickly removed the script. Please be aware that, while we may beta-test other affiliate scripts down the line, we will take greater measures to ensure that no existing user-referral arrangements are impacted in any way.
  • While we plan to stick to a weekly news schedule, if we have a release in between regular newsletters, we'll post here to keep you informed. You can also check [info]lj_releases for current release information.

To our paid users, we send squirrels in love!

If you have a paid or permanent account, you can send five free Squirrels in love vgifts through Monday, March 15th at 4pm, PST! You'll see both the free and the $0.99 squirrels displayed until they've scurried off to their new homes. Please send only one vgift at a time. In other words, you'll need to complete check-out and start a new order for each vgift you send. If you're not receiving vgifts (from friends and/or Frank), you may have disabled them. To enable vgifts, visit Edit profile (under Profile), scroll down to the bottom of the page, and select 'Do not disable' from the drop-down menu. Have fun!

Help is on the way!

We're pleased to announce the winner of our first charitable vgift poll, Doctors without Borders / Médecins Sans Frontières, which provides critical medical care to under-served populations around the world. Priced at $2.99, we'll donate 100 percent of the proceeds we raise from the sale of this vgift (we'll cover credit card fees). We invite you to start recommending nonprofits for our next fundraising drive at [info]ljnewscontests. We'll take suggestions through the month and post a poll in the news during the first week of April to let you choose the recipient. We thank you, again, for your passion and generosity.

We've crowned a header



Congratulations to [info]ohterlus for submitting the winning header, which will go live next week and keep us leafy through mid-April! You can submit designs for our next header contest at [info]ljnewscontests now until March 31st. We'll post a poll in the news to let you decide which header will sit at the top of LiveJournal from mid-April to mid-May. All artistic interpretations are welcome. The winner will get a $25 LiveJournal gift certificate. All other contributors will receive $5 gift certificates. Our heartfelt appreciation for sharing your talent and creativity!

For this week's winning photo and more adventures with Frank & Meme, we'll catch you under the cut!
