TecNiq adds five injection molding machines to operation
LED lighting company TecNiq recently added five injection molding machines to its new production facility in Galesburg MI.
The company said it made the move because of increasing concerns about tariffs and higher-priced trade goods.
In 2004, Jeff Condon and Mark Pruss, co-founders of TecNiq, started the company with the mission of creating the "most efficient and cost-saving LED product available." TecNiq's LEDs primarily are sold as lighting solutions for fleet trucks, emergency vehicles, construction trailers and other light-duty trailers and heavy-duty equipment.
TecNiq said the new plastic injection molding machines from Toshiba will help it "amp up" its proprietary lens manufacturing. The machines, along with Sepro 5 axis robots and a Novatec central material handling/drying system, are at the heart of the company's new setup.
"The injection molding machines were chosen because of their precision, and being all-electric with the latest servo design, they are very energy efficient," said Travis Arbogast, manager of the injection molding department. "The Sepro's are fully programmable with five-axis movement, which makes them able to manipulate parts for removal from the molds, degating and packing, as well as automation and insert molding.
"The Novatec material handling system is a fully expandable system that has the latest technology for proper drying and conveying of the plastic resin."
With continued pressure from the current administration on overseas products, this move helped bring a key component of TecNiq's productions to the US, the company said, helping offset some of the potential new tariffs. The new injection molding machines helped TecNiq reduce on-site inventory and the number of goods in transit, while also enabling quicker turnaround times and higher internal quality control.
TecNiq said its investment in plastic injection molding complements its 3D printing capabilities. Now, company officials said, they can go from 3D-printed prototype to production products in approximately four weeks, in some cases, with an increase in quality because of the ability to immediately address any part or tool issues.

Cryptic Diversity and Conservation of Gopher Frogs across the Southeastern United States
Stephen Richter, Eric O'Neill, Schyler Nunziata, Andrew Rumments, Emily Gustin, Jeanne Young, Brian Crother
Identifying cryptic biodiversity is fundamental to evolutionary biology and to conservation efforts. This study investigated range-wide genetic diversity of Gopher Frogs, Lithobates capito, across the southeastern United States coastal plain to determine implications for taxonomy and conservation. We collected data for two mtDNA regions in 21 populations to identify genetic structure across the geographic distribution of the species. Based on population genetic, phylogenetic, and genealogical analyses, we recovered three reciprocally monophyletic mtDNA lineages corresponding to mainland coastal plain populations and two lineages within peninsular Florida. Breakpoints for these lineages did not occur in previously identified hotspots of amphibian phylogeographic breaks and did not follow currently recognized subspecies designations. We recommend these lineages be recognized as separate distinct population segments and be considered separately by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for listing under the Endangered Species Act. Additionally, we propose an evolutionary hotspot for amphibians that deserves further attention.

Mammoth Police Trace Suspect Through Cell Phone
By News Staff on October 11, 2010 in Past Posts
In a strange series of events, Mammoth Police followed a trail of clues to the arrest of a Palmdale man. It all started at the Village at Mammoth. A woman flagged down a Mammoth Police Officer and said someone stole her jacket and iPhone from a local bar.
Police said the woman called her own phone and a man answered. He told her he was at the Shell Station. Police went with the woman to the stations in Mammoth but found no one. She called the phone again, and this time the man said he was at the Forest Service housing.
Earlier, another Mammoth Policeman had given an intoxicated man a ride to Forest Service housing. They checked that out, but no luck. Then a contact was made with a man on Main St. who was holding a cell phone. At the same time, the other officer with the victim heard the policeman and the suspect talking. They found their man, they believed.
The woman identified her phone and later her jacket was also returned. 21-year-old Evan Christopher Taylor of Palmdale was arrested for possession of stolen property and public intoxication.

Home » Fresh Expressions » Healthy Growing Churches » Fresh Expressions – Cultivate: Coffee and Tea
by Beth Ehlert / November 5, 2019 / No Comments
In July, we introduced a new series called Fresh Expressions of the Church. Since that time, we have talked with some incredible, visionary leaders who are thinking outside the box with regards to "church." Today, I'm excited to introduce you to Matt Chesney from Eagle Ridge Church of God in Midland, Michigan. But this story is not about Eagle Ridge per se, but about a mission and vision given to Matt and his Senior Pastor, Bill Greiner, that is impacting people daily.
The moment Matt became a Christian, he began to hear these little whispers saying, "You need to be a pastor." Over and over again, the Voice would call, and Matt would push it away, believing he already had his dream job as a teacher, school builder, and principal. What more would he want?
While at church one Sunday morning, Matt heard this really loud voice that said, "You need to quit your job and become a teacher for Me." Matt doesn't remember the message given by the pastor that morning, but he knew he could no longer ignore this calling. While loading up their four children after church that morning, Matt looked at his wife and told her they needed to talk about this clear message he'd received from God. Melissa responded with, "Yeah, me too!" Matt asked his wife to share first, hoping what she heard might be different, but as it turns out, God had spoken the exact same words to her.
Eagle Ridge Church of God
This time Matt listened to and obeyed what God was saying. He was able to continue to work as a teacher while pursuing a ministry degree, knowing that God was calling him to become a youth pastor. He was later hired by Eagle Ridge Church of God.
At the time, Eagle Ridge Pastor Bill Greiner and his wife, Robin, were living through every parent's worse nightmare. Their son, a sophomore in college who was a bright light in the community with a promising future, was tragically killed by a drunk driver. This unspeakable tragedy caused Bill to question the direction of his life and the church.
While in such a huge painful season of grieving, the Holy Spirit impressed upon Bill's heart that it was time to start trusting in Him instead of consistently worrying about the future. It was time for Bill, his staff and leadership, and for Eagle Ridge Church to walk by faith, and they did just that when they hired Matt as the Students Pastor. Matt learned later on that the church didn't actually have the budget to pay him, but they decided to move forward and start being the church God had called them to be anyway.
Eagle Ridge Church, whose focus pointed more inward, was headed for a significant turnaround, which included more devotion to the community in which they were called to serve. In hiring Matt, the church was looking to breathe new life into the student ministry, outreach, and discipleship, and they saw that Matt could be a huge catalyst for this change.
The Path to Something Different
With this transformation happening at Eagle Ridge, a strong vision developed to build something outside of Eagle Ridge that wouldn't even necessarily point back to the church. They wanted something that would be a service to the community and a platform for building disciples.
They wanted something that would be a service to the community and a platform for building disciples.
Matt poured himself into building the student ministry that first year, as well as learning more about the Midland community. He began thinking and dreaming of ideas that fit the vision of outward focus and discipleship. Matt and Bill did lots of research, read lots of books, and went to several conferences. They listened to ideas presented by others, many of which were GREAT ideas. A coffee shop, however, was not one of them. In fact, neither Matt nor Bill drink or even like coffee.
Dead Ends and Closed Doors
Armed with so many great ideas, Matt battled through the discouragement of hitting dead ends and closed doors. Then, the idea came to, perhaps, plant another church. Maybe this one would be completely different from Eagle Ridge and within another part of town to reach a more significant landscape of the community. Matt got a map of Midland, which, to this day, remains behind his desk. On the map, he plotted out every Christian church in Midland to see if there was a particular area not being served by a local church. Matt found that Midland has a TON of churches. Did Midland really need one more church?
Looking more closely at the map, Matt noticed an area toward the top that was just empty space. Upon further research, that space was the Midland Mall, so it was no wonder that there was no church there. The idea came to open up a church in the mall. Surely this is what God was calling them to do! However, when Matt called the owners of the mall, prepped and ready to make his case, he was only able to get out the first sentence before the mall said, "No." After all, how would a church encourage people to spend their money at the mall? The church would only be open on Sundays before the mall even opened. The mall needed something different, and perhaps, the community needed something different as well.
Armed with the understanding that the mall was looking for something that would increase foot traffic throughout the mall, the idea came to open up a coffee shop. The shop would be open throughout the week to everyone. Matt began to see that by selling coffee, they would be able to afford rent on a space in the mall, and they could even pay their employees. With his background in starting schools, Matt understood budgets, profit margins, and all that has to do with running a business.
Then, in a meeting between Bill and Matt, Bill drops the bomb. Let's give the coffee away for free! The church had connections with people in parts of Guatemala, Panama, and Uganda, so as a side effect of opening a coffee shop, Bill and Matt knew they would want only to serve coffee that was ethically sourced. Then, the coffee communities would also be empowered and encouraged as they sold more of the fruits of their labor.
It ended up taking longer to open Cultivate than Matt originally wanted. Matt had a timeline of opening before the holidays of 2018, but Bill wanted things to move a little slower. Ultimately, Bill wanted Eagle Ridge to become more passionate about discipleship and community; however, Bill gave Matt full authority on when the shop would open. By the time legal stuff was done and the coffee shop was ready to launch, many months had passed, way more than what Matt anticipated. Cultivate opened in June 2019.
Miracles Along the Way
With an opening budget of about $60,000 and only $30,000 in the bank, Matt recalls sitting in his car prior to signing the lease on the space in the mall. How was it going to work? He stopped to pray before going in and decided to go in with an attitude of faith. At the start of his meeting, the manager asks him one more time if he wants to look at the space again. As the two were walking through the mall, the manager began pointing out other vacant retail locations and asking him to notice different furniture pieces in them. With $25,000 of $60,000 of the budget allocated for furniture, Matt saw that number go lower and lower as the manager began to offer up all of this furniture to him for free.
Matt says he doesn't know how it all worked out, but with the $30,000 they had to start with, $12,000 was remaining after Cultivate was all set up and ready to open! There were all types of small blessings happening with each step, which altogether took the initial projected $60,000 start-up budget down to only $18,000.
Since the Opening
Cultivate: Coffee and Tea wanted to be known for its friendliness and service to the community. Matt and Bill went into it with the attitude of building genuine relationships with people, not just beating people over the heads with the Bible. And as is common when one begins to engage authentically with another person, it's not so easy to get around the subject of faith when that is the center of who you are. Within the first months of starting up, Matt and other volunteers have had the opportunity to share the faith numerous times. Almost every time, it's others who have brought up the subject of faith in Jesus.
Cultivate has 5-6 various volunteers who have never even attended a service at Eagle Ridge. These volunteers have either become Christians or renewed their commitment to Him during the first few months of the shop's opening, and now they are serving and discipling others. The coffee shop has become a place where people's stories get heard, where faith is shared, and disciples are made. And that is the whole purpose of it all!
One of the most significant takeaways from this story is that you have a church intentionally not looking to put their name on another ministry or location but to multiply by making disciples. They are not trying to build their own kingdom, but God's. You will not find the coffee shop on Eagle Ridge's website, nor will you see Eagle Ridge on Cultivate's Facebook page. What you will find is evangelism through genuine relationship building, disciples making disciples, and ultimately, the Great Commission. That is something to support and celebrate!

Q: Headless HTML5 Geolocation I was wondering if there is any way to get the HTML5 Geolocation system without GUI on a Debian based system?
My plan is to geolocate via HTML5 a computer without any GPS system, so I thought I would send a request with an headless browser to my web server, get the headless browser position (by accepting the prompt somehow) and return it to my server, am I wrong?
I saw phantomjs but apparently it's not working for geolocation.
(Yes, I already saw this Headless browser that support Geolocation but I think the answer is outdated and my question is more precise)
Thanks

Post-season schedule debate
With 2012 marking another victorious Leduc Milleteer finale, it would seem they are running the table quite easily. But some great playoff games and gutsy performances have helped them scratch their way to the top each season.
It's hard to imagine anything should change when it appears the league has six relatively stable teams.
However, quiet rumblings from players and team reps have echoed throughout the league and on blog comments for a couple years now regarding the league schedule.
Home and away games
One complaint is the inconsistency (or consistency) over the last two years for some teams home and away schedules. For example, the Armena Royals have had eight road games now for two seasons while the Camrose Roadrunners have had only seven.
Some anonymous comments alluded to the fact certain teams have had to go to Leduc or Holden for the extra game of their three game set. This was the first year Leduc didn't have Wednesday night games, which eases the complications of the scheduling.
Given this fresh start, Armena, Bardo and Leduc will likely only have 7 home games in 2013 and Camrose, Holden and Ryley will have the extra one with the home-away schedule individually inverted for each series.
2012 Teams with 8 home, 7 away: Armena, Bardo, Leduc
2012 Teams with 7 home, 8 away: Camrose, Holden, Ryley
Oft complained but never changed, the early May start can always be hit or miss. This year's May 1 falling on a Tuesday meant the second week of May (Always the PBL opening night since at least 1999) was May 8. But it was perfectly fine May 8 to start playing. The difficulty is getting guys thinking baseball in March and April.
The Tuesday-Thursday push pegs a season end usually around early- to mid-July. Once playoffs are done, the PBL and BRBL leagues have historically taken August off to mingle with families and enjoy summer. I doubt anything will ever change, nor maybe should it.
Rainout dates
Past President Larry Lewsaw publicly had concerns of the rainout dates with certain teams still having regularly scheduled games. I guess it would be nice to have full days off for all the teams in case it magically works out, but there's also the danger of no one, or only two teams needing to make up a game and thus, a wasted warm weather night could go to waste. Maybe that's OK?
Off the record comments in 2012
Over the course of a few beers and post-game bickering, you hear the odd complaint. Maybe you could just call it whining from someone who doesn't have answers. But here's a few I recall. Your thoughts?
"We used to keep things simple, last year's schedule would just flip. If you were away the first Tuesday in May against (Bardo) you were home the next year that night."
"It gets too dark in May. We only got in five innings one night. The first few games should be on Sundays at like 4 p.m."
"We couldn't make up our games because the two times we were free the team we had to make-up was already playing that night. If you're going to have rainout dates, make it totally open."
"We had to go to Leduc three years in a row for two games. We can't win there."
"Is it time to talk about expanding the playoffs? It would create less debate if we can't squeeze in every game. Maybe let everyone make it so no one has to sit the bench late in the season."

"We were pretty tough by the time we went over. Out of a bunch of kids, they made men."
- Henry Planger
A 24-year-old woman from the Kainai Blood Tribe Reserve near Standoff is facing several criminal and provincial charges following a hit and run with a motorcycle driver on Saturday,
August 6th in Coleman.
The collision took place at around 8:30 a.m. on Hwy 3 in West Coleman, after the front end of the woman's car collided with the hitch on the back end of the motorcycle, causing the male driver of the bike to lose control and wipe out.
He sustained serious lower body injuries - including a broken femur - and was transported to the Foothills Hospital in Calgary.
The woman remained at the scene only briefly before taking off and leaving the injured man alone.
Crowsnest Pass and Pincher Creek RCMP as well as the Alberta Sheriffs
Department were dispatched to locate the woman.
Numerous motorists called in complaints against the woman, who was driving erratically as she continued east on Hwy 3.
She was eventually stopped by Pincher Creek RCMP just west of Pincher Creek and arrested for impaired driving.
She appeared confused, and officers noticed an open beer can in the passenger seat.
She was taken to the detachment, where she provided two samples of breath, which read 120 and 110 milligrams per cent, well over the legal blood alcohol limit.
The woman has been charged with seven Criminal Code charges and four Provincial stats, including dangerous driving causing bodily harm, impaired operation of a motor vehicle causing injury, failing to remain at the scene of a collision, and driving without a licence.

She was also found to be in breech of pre-existing conditions to abstain from the consumption of alcohol, and has been charged accordingly for breech of probation.
The woman was expected to appear in Pincher Creek provincial court last week, but further information was not available at press time.
The biker, a 61-year-old male from Stirling, Alta, is expected to make a full recovery.
RCMP would like to thank the public and semi truck drivers who assisted in the apprehension of the accused.

Man charged with killing LA woman, unborn twins
LOS ANGELES, CA The Los Angeles County district attorney's office says 22-year-old Boneetio Washington was charged Thursday with three counts of murder in the death of 39-year-old Eun Kang and her unborn twins. The Culver City man also is charged with rape and is jailed without bail.
Prosecutors haven't decided whether to seek the death penalty. They did not know whether he had retained an attorney.
Police say Washington randomly targeted Kang, who was four months pregnant, in her Venice home Tuesday.
Washington is on probation after pleading no contest to burglary in September. Court records show that case was delayed after he was declared mentally unfit and spent several months in a state mental hospital.

An Apple Computer Inc. executive testifying today at the Microsoft Corp. antitrust trial refused to back away from his charge that the software giant sabotaged its multimedia player, QuickTime, so that it would not operate with its Windows operating system.
Avie Tevanian a senior vice president at Apple, alleged that Microsoft introduced a number of incompatibilities with its operating system running Internet Explorer 4.0 -- not present on an earlier version of the browser -- that caused QuickTime to fail.
Under rapid-fire questioning from Microsoft attorney Ted Edelman, Tevanian was repeatedly asked whether he had any personal knowledge that Microsoft had set out to intentionally hurt QuickTime.
"Don't you think that the use of the word sabotage is something of an exaggeration?" said Edelman.
Tevanian, paused, then said evenly: "It sounds fine to me."
"What other goal could there have been other than to disadvantage QuickTime," said Tevanian at one point.
Tevanian said he had written Gates to seek his help. Soon after, he said, Microsoft fixed a problem with one of the file formats, but other problems remained.
Microsoft said Tevanian's testimony helped their case.
"What you have seen this morning is that loose and groundless accusations may look good on paper, but don't stand up in court," said Mark Murray, a Microsoft spokesman.
David Boies, the lead government attorney said that given Tevanian's "experience as a software designer and experience in the industry it simply is not credible that all these things were happening and Microsoft wasn't aware."

What's the Spiritual Season this week? The autumnal equinox, a solemn day for Jews & a religious freedom anniversary
September 19, 2009 by David Crumm
(You'll also find weekly news in our "ReadTheSpirit Planner." See a sample & learn how to get this free Email newsletter.) HERE IS …
What's the Spiritual Season?
(September 14 to 20, 2009)
By Stephanie Fenton
THIS WEEK, people around the world mark changing seasons. Americans recall a milestone in religious freedom. Ethiopian and Eritrean Orthodox Christians celebrate this week. And, Jews reach the most important day in their calendar. Read about these and other observances below …
TUESDAY, people around the world observe the autumnal equinox, a period of time when night and day are equal in length everywhere around the world. (Here's a chart of the precise times for this decade. And here's a NASA image of how the sun lights the earth on an equinox.)
For many of our readers in the Northern Hemisphere, leaves are beginning to change color and autumn officially begins. But the effects are global and our readers in the Southern Hemisphere will soon be warming up again.
For thousands of years, religious traditions have marked this special cosmic effect.
Modern Pagans and Wiccans may celebrate Mabon in the North, which marks the time to begin preparations for winter. While the second harvest is being collected, Wiccans look to the coming darkness of winter and give thanks for the current lengths of sunlight. Many Pagans offer gifts of ciders, wines and herbs to gods or goddesses on the autumnal equinox, feast with family members and look forward to the quiet, relaxing season of winter.
Buddhists of the Japanese, Korean and Tibetan sects see special meaning in this day as well. According to Buddhist tradition, the Higan festival is held during the week of the vernal equinox. Many participating Buddhists view Higan as a time of renewed hope, since it marks the time when a long season of heat or chill, depending on one's place in the world, comes to an end and begins the opposite season. Buddhists can also reflect upon the temporary status of life during this time. "Higan" translates into "the other shore," an indication that we are simply on a journey from the shores of this world, samsara, to nirvana. According to historical accounts, Higan services began in Japan approximately 1,200 years ago.
FRIDAY, it's the 220th anniversary of Congress' adoption of 12 amendments to the Constitution. In time, 10 of these amendments would become the Bill of Rights, and the first article would give freedom of religion to all U.S. citizens (a Freedom of Religion Bell is pictured at right).
On September 25, 1789, the First Congress approved 12 amendments, although only 10 were approved by the states (amendments concerning the number of constituents for each Representative as well as compensation for Congressmen were not ratified). Since early patriots had just finished a long fight with Britain for their freedom, they insisted upon a bill of rights that would protect America's citizens.
Today, Americans continue to exercise the practice of their religion of choice. According to the Bill of Rights, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."
Besides the amendment concerning freedom of religion, the remainder of the Constitution makes very little reference to religion. Some early Americans opposed this, believing that the new government should allow faith to play a more significant role in the nation's affairs. After much debate, however, Congress made the decision that would eventually prohibit Congress from creating any laws that showed a preference to a particular religion.
SUNDAY, Orthodox Christians of the Ethiopian and Eritrean traditions celebrate the finding of the true cross during the ancient festival of Meskel. This 1,600-year-old tradition honors the discovery of Jesus' crucifixion cross by Saint Helena in the 4th century. Various other Christian traditions mark this day earlier in the month of September.
Festival attendees typically place Meskel daisies atop enormous bonfires while priests, carrying silver Coptic crosses, dance around the fires. Meskel daisies, flowers of a cross-like shape, also are a sign of the people's joy over the end of the rainy season. Bonfires are symbolic of the belief that Saint Helena, or Queen Eleni, was told in a dream that she should make a bonfire so that the smoke could show her where the true cross was buried. According to tradition, Saint Helena ordered Jerusalem's people to gather wood and add frankincense to the burning logs. After the smoke from the bonfire circled into the sky, it is said to have returned to the ground, falling to the exact spot where Jesus' cross had been buried.
Following the lighting of bonfires, Meskel participants will sometimes use the ashes to mark the sign of the cross on their foreheads, similar to the tradition on Ash Wednesday. Some believe that this act negates sins. Traditions also suggest that, just as Saint Helena was led by sacred smoke, this act may also help point toward important new directions for people today.
Why are these traditions so important in Ethiopia? It's believed that a portion of the true cross was brought to Ethiopia and rests at Amba Geshen.
Also on SUNDAY, "Work with Heart" for your health!
September 27 is this year's World Heart Day, a time to focus on cardiovascular health and its impact on human life. This year's theme, "Work with Heart," encourages individuals and employers to think about the impact of the workplace on cardiovascular conditions.
Each year, more than 17.2 million lives are claimed by cardiovascular diseases, yet 80 percent of these cases could have been avoided by improving diet, increasing physical activity and avoiding tobacco products. The World Heart Federation, World Health Organization and World Economic Forum are emphasizing the impact of healthier lives on not only individuals, but also on the business world and global economy as well. According to a 2003 study, workplace health programs can reduce medical and absentee costs by 25-30 percent.
Throughout the year and in partnership with the WHO, the World Heart Federation hosts events in more than 100 countries. Events include health screenings, organized walks, runs and fitness sessions, stage shows, scientific forums, exhibitions, concerts, carnivals and sporting tournaments. World Heart Day is this organization's most important day—a focal point for raising awareness.
As you read this news item in the Spiritual Season column, give yourself a pat on the back for a positive affect on heart health! Links between spirituality and health are hotly debated and vigorously studied these days. Generally, studies indicate there are positive physical benefits from spiritual practices and involvement in religious communities. Here's one summary online. Benefits may include stronger immune systems, cardiovascular health and general longevity. According to a recent study of more than 5,000 African Americans published in the Oxford Journal, faith-based programs are a positive way to reduce cardiovascular health risks.
SUNDAY at sundown, Jews begin Yom Kippur, the most important day of the Jewish year. While fasting and attending services at the synagogue, Jews solemnly reflect on their lives on this Day of Atonement.
While the full experience of Yom Kippur is appreciated mainly by adults, many congregations also adapt lessons and activities for children. Here's a Web site called Torah Tots, where little ones can find coloring pages, games, greeting cards and more.
Grievances committed against other people must be amended prior to Yom Kippur, and then on Yom Kippur, individuals can ask for forgiveness from God. Traditions teach that God forgives an individual as he or she forgives others.
Typically, individuals dress in white on Yom Kippur to visualize the journey to purity that occurs on this day. Yom Kippur services will begin on Sunday evening with Kol Nidre. Then, they will begin again on Monday morning and continue well into the afternoon. Following a short period of rest, many Jews return to the synagogue in the evening. After the evening services, a shofar (ram's horn) rings out a trumpet-like sound.
A crucial prayer during Yom Kippur is the Vidui, a confessional prayer that allows people to take responsibility for misdeeds that they committed during the past year—even those that cannot be recalled. The Vidui is repeated eight times during the course of Yom Kippur, and it's believed that with each prayer, one is freed a bit more and is able to climb higher toward righteousness. Finally, the Neila prayer brings the individual's spirit to its highest possible place, just as Yom Kippur comes to an end and the gates of Heaven begin to close.

Building States to Build Peace
World Peace is a noble goal, but not one that can occur in one move. "Building States to Build Peace: A Project of the International Peace Institute" explains that World Peace starts at a national level. Like many things when they first begin, the early years of a state are vital for establishing it for stability and enduring peace. Covering topics such as law, economics, and finance, it also outlines examples ranging from Somalia to Afghanistan.

Counter-Narcotics to Stabilize Afghanistan: The False Promise of Eradication
During 2007-2008, raw opium production in Afghanistan reached a record level of an estimated 8,200 tons. In the same period, the Taliban-led insurgency supported by al-Qaida spread to new areas of Afghanistan and Pakistan. Both countries experienced unprecedented levels of terrorism aswell. After six years of international assistance to the Afghan government, the expansion of both the illicit narcotics industry and the insurgency constitutes a powerful indictment of international policy and capacity.

Nordic Notes
Review by Chris Nickson
Finnish singer and composer Kujanpää has a deep, long-standing love of Bulgarian music. She studied in Plovdiv and at home she assembled the group Finno-Balkan Voices, which takes from the tradition of both countries. Three years ago she began working with La Mystère des Voix Bulgares Vocal Academy, the successor to those Bulgarian choirs whose beautiful polyphony was so thrilling and new to Western ears in the 1980s and '90s. They pop up all across this first solo disc from Kujanpää, backing and adding to her singing. Other guest contribute trumpet, harmonium, and even a touch of throat singing, on the (mostly) original compositions.
Ranging from the lush fullness of the aching, longing voices on the opening track "Ogrejalo Slantse – Vuota Vuota" (video below) that envelops the listener, to the manic "Sirkus Savonia," which at times seems more like a battle between voice and trumpet, instead of a duet – and the switch to a Russia rhythm partway through is baffling. It's impressive, although not perfect; "Celestia" feels curiously lightweight, and the throat singing on "Laulajan Loitsu – Singer's Spell" seems like overegging the pudding.
Yet there's definitely plenty to love here (even if a trained Bulgarian singer who's sent her life steeped in the folk tradition was less overwhelmed). For those of us who aren't as knowledgeable, it's a record that offer many layers of beauty. The traditional "Kuutar – The Goddess Of The Moon," for instance, has the stately reverence of something that's being sung for the ages instead of the moment, with the kind of glowing harmonies that raise goosebumps (and is one of two traditional pieces here). The title track floats, once again cushioned by all those exquisite voices, and "Milenka," where Kujanpää soars over harmonium and ragged trumpet, is nothing less than thrilling. It's taken Kujanpää a long time to release her first solo record, but it's worth the wait. – Chris Nickson

"Working Together to Advance Human Rights"
The Diplomacy Training Program (DTP) is an independent, Australian NGO committed to advancing human rights and empowering civil society in the Asia Pacific region through quality education and training, and the building of skills and capacity in non-governmental organisations and for individual human rights defenders and community advocates.
The DTP was founded in 1989 by HE José Ramos-Horta, 1996 Nobel Peace Laureate and former President of Timor-Leste with Emeritus Professor Garth Nettheim.
Since January 1990, the DTP has provided practical human rights training to over 3000 human rights defenders and community advocates in the Asia-Pacific and MENA region.
Our VISION is a world in which all people have the freedom to advocate for the promotion and protection of human rights and are able to realise their human rights and achieve dignity. Our MISSION is to build the knowledge, skills, networks and capacities of those working to advance human rights.
On Monday 13th August, DTP hosted a special discussion on business and human rights relating to the Montara oil spill, described by the ABC as 'Australia's worst oil spill'. The discussion brought together Iman Prihandono, DTP Alumnus and Indonesian academic/activist who is researching the case, Ben Slade, Managing Principal at Maurice Blackburn Lawyers who is leading the class action in the Australian courts seeking AU$200 million compensation for the Indonesian villagers, and Amy Sinclair, Australian/Pacific represenative of the Business & Human Rights Resource Centre.
The Montara well head was owned and managed by an Australian company (PTTEP Australasia Pty Ltd), a subsidary of the Thai state-owned oil company (PTTEP). The spill occured in Australian territorial waters but the harmful impacts were experienced in Indonesia - by coastal communities dependent on fishing and an emerging seaweed industry. The case highlights key challenges in corporate accountability associated with globalisation - requiring a search for redress across national boundaries and legal jurisdictions. The Indonesian government is seeking compensation in the Indonesian courts for environmental damage from the Thai company and its Australian subsidary, while a class action is claiming compensation from PTTEP Australasia Pty Ltd.
DTP would like to thank our guests, Iman Prihandono, Ben Slade and Amy Sinclair for visiting UNSW and DTP.
More information on the case can be found here. Video resources for this case can also be found here.
The next installment of DTP's UDHR70 Discussion Series, held in conjunction with the Australian Human Rights Institute (AHRI), welcomed Debbie Stothard to UNSW.
Debbie, a Malaysian national, was a student in Sydney in the early 1990's engaging with the Diplomacy Training Program in its early years. She went on to lead efforts to put human rights in Burma on the ASEAN agenda – to break their silence and inaction – becoming the Founder and Director of ALTSEAN-Burma. Debbie is now a global leader on human rights – becoming the first woman from the region to be elected to leadership of the oldest established international human rights NGO the Paris based – International Federation of Human Rights (FIDH). Debbie is a trainer (including on DTP courses), an activist and advocate.
Debbie provided insights into the ongoing debates on the death penalty, the rights of the journalist and the best tools for advocacy on business and human rights within the Southeast Asian (ASEAN) region.
DTP would like to thank Debbie for visitng and speaking at the event. We would also like to thank the team at AHRI for the continual collaboration in this event.
Our founder and patron, His Excellency José Ramos-Horta recently vistied Sydney to launch his new book "Words of Hope in Troubled Times". The book brings together for the first time José Ramos-Horta's writings and speeches from 1992 to 2017 addressing major regional and global challenges. Hosted kindly by our board member Michael do Rozario and Corrs Chambers Westgarth, the event also commemorated significant developments within DTP including the recent passing of DTP co-founder Professor Garth Nettheim, Professor Paul Redmond stepping down as Chair of the DTP Board after 20 years of leadership and the promotion of Professor David Dixon as the new Chair of the Board.
A smaller event was also held in Melbourne kindly hosted by well-known Australian barrister and human rights advocate, Julian Burnside AO QC and his partner Kate Durham. Our Melborune based board members, Caroline Aerbersold and Suwanee Dharmalingan were also instrumental in organising this intimate event.
During his time in Sydney, José was personally invited by UNSW and UNSW Vice Chancellor, Professor Ian Jacobs for afternoon tea to discuss his achievements, DTP's success and future collaboration. As a special gift, José was given his own parking spot by UNSW.
DTP hosted a Roundtable Discussion with Special Guest & DTP Alumna, Ms Yuyun Wahyuningrum from Indonesia on human rights in ASEAN 25 years after the 1993 World Conference on Human Rights. Yuyun gave a compelling analysis of the slow development of human rights within the ASEAN system. There is a continuing legacy from the battles over cultural relativism and Asian Values in the early 1990s – even though the Vienna Declaration reaffirmed the universality of human rights, the human right to development and the need for international cooperation to realise human rights. ASEAN adopted its own human rights declaration and established the its Independent Commission on Human Rights (AICHR) and the ASEAN commitment to consensus and non-interference has been strained by recent human rights crises such as killings in Rakhine, Myanmar. Civil society has fought for its place at the table and to be listened to with partial success. Space for human rights and civil society is increasingly restricted in many ASEAN countries however.
On Friday 13th July, DTP hosted a roundtable discussion on the forthcoming referendum on independence for the French colony of New Caledonia (Kanaky) in the South Pacific. The roundtable was held at the initiative of Charles Wea, DTP alumnus (1990) and Kanak representative in Australia. Daniel Goa, President of FLNKS and his delegation were welcomed in French by DTP Board Member, James Fitzgerald.
Prospects for the referendum and the Kanak's struggle for self-determination and de-colonisation were discussed. It is clear that the November referendum is only one step in the process and that the Kanak people will require continuing solidarity and support whatever the outcome. The roundtable provided a valuable opportunity for DTP to reconnect with Kanak advocates and to explore capacity building needs.
DTP would like to thank Daniel Goa, Charles Wea and the Kanak Delegation for visiting UNSW and raising awareness on the Kanak Struggle and the importance of this referendum. Thanks also to Nic Maclellan for providing us with this opportunity to meet Daniel Goa. Last but not least, to our board member James Fitzgerald for being our French translator.

The next installment of DTP's UDHR70 Discussion Series, held in conjunction with the Australian Human Rights Institute (AHRI), welcomed Dr Jess Melvin to UNSW.
Dr Melvin is currently a Postdoctoral Associate with the Sydney Southeast Asia Centre at the University of Sydney. She is also the author of The Army and the Indonesian Genocide: Mechanics of Mass Murder (Routledge, 2018). She was Rice Faculty Fellow in Southeast Asian Studies and Postdoctoral Associate in Genocide Studies at Yale University in 2016-2017.
Dr Melvin spoke of her book, The Army and the Indonesian Genocide: Mechanics of Mass Murder, as her research has helped to unlock and change the narrative around the 1965 killings in Indonesia. Dr Melvin discovered that the mass killings in 1965 and subsequent years were orchestrated by the Indonesian military. To this day, key investigation and documents compiled by Komnas HAM (Indonesian National Commission on Human Rights) have been blocked by Indonesia's Attorney General Office from being publicly released.
DTP would like to thank Dr Jess Melvin for visitng and speaking at the event. We would also like to thank team at AHRI for the continual collaboration in this event. Last but not least, a big thanks to Melissa Crouch for the opening remarks and DTP Chair David Dixon for the closing remarks and representing DTP at this event.
The next installment of DTP and AHRI's UDHR70 Discussion Series welcomed DTP Trainer and Close Friend, Chris Sidoti to UNSW for his presentation "Gathering the facts about Myanmar rights abuses".
Chris is an international human rights consultant and has provided consultancy services on human rights law and practice to the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, UNDP, UNICEF, the Asia Pacific Forum of National Human Rights Institutions and several national human rights institutions. He is also a Adjunct Professor at the Australian Catholic University and was previously, the Australian Human Rights Commissioner (1995-2000).
As a member of the UN Myanmar Fact-Finding Mission, Chris spoke about the atrocities being faced by the Rohingya people and the efforts by the international community to help out with this humanitarian crisis. At his talk, Chris said there have been "more than 700 intensive interviews" from the Rohingya community with interviewees wanting a permanent solution to the discrimination they are facing in Myanmar.
DTP would like to thank Chris for his time in coming to UNSW to present his talk. We would also like to thank AHRI for their continual support and partnership in these talks celebration the 70th Anniversary of the UDHR.
The next installment of DTP's UDHR70 Discussion Series, held in conjunction with the Australian Human Rights Institute (AHRI), welcomed DTP alumna and trainer, Philippines Human Rights Commissioner Karen Gomez-Dumpit to UNSW.
Karen is currently serving as Commissioner for the Philippines Commission on Human Rights (CHR). She has served CHR for more than 25 years through various career posts and made several breakthroughs by being the first director of the CHR's Child Rights Center, which she served for nine years.
Karen spoke in depth about the human rights violations occurring under the guidance of President Rodrigo Duterte focusing on extrajudicial killings of drug users. Estimates place the number of fatalities of Duterte's war on drugs at around 12,000 with the marginalised and disadvantaged most affected. Karen also discussed the cultivation of misogyny under Duterte's influence and acknowledged the regression of equality throughout the Philippines. The breach of the Philippine's international obligations occurring with the extrajudicial killings has received substantial criticism but been mostly ignored by President Duterte. Karen expressed gratitude towards Australia and the DPT for its support and asks that we continue to do so whilst the Philippines experiences this injustice.
DTP would like to thank Karen Gomez-Dumpit and Marizen Santos for dedicating their time in visiting and speaking at the event during their busy schedule. We would also like to thank team at AHRI for collaborating with us in this event. Last but not least, a big thanks to DTP board members David Dixon and James Fitzgerald for chairing the talk.
DTP's 2018 Strategic Planning Meeting was held on Wednesday 7th March 2018 at UNSW.
The day brought DTP staff and board members together to to reaffirm Diplomacy Training Program's (DTP) commitments in developing the capacity and skills of community advocates in Indigenous Australia and the Asia-Pacific region.
In preparation for the planning day, a survey was sent out to DTP staff and board, current and former trainers, alumni and partner organisations. This survey helped to provide knowledge on DTP's strengths and weakenesses and how we as an organisation can move forward.
Overall the Strategic Planning day was a success in providing a vision for the organisation so that we are able to better deliver quality capacity building programs to human rights defenders in Asia-Pacific region.
To mark the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR70), DTP launched the UDHR70 Discussion Series inviting special guest and DTP alumna, Sumitha Kishna.
Sumitha's talked focused on the many violations migrant workers face in Malaysian society calling for more policy and law reform. Estimates show that there are over 2 million migrant workers living in Malaysia. Many of these people face daily abuse, arbitary detention, cruel punishment and discrimination which violates basic human rights.
Sumitha's experience as a lawyer has played a key role in advocacy for the rights and protection of migrant workers, refugees, trafficked per-sons and foreign nationals on death row.
Sumitha is the Director of Our Journey, a NGO platform for experts on migration is-sues lobbying with government bodies and private stakeholders to develop sup-portive migration systems that align with international Human Rights standards.
Advocates for migrant workers will now have access to a powerful new web-app after the Diplomacy Training Program (DTP) launched its Migrant Worker International Law Reference Tool.
The new legal tool will allow advocates of vulnerable migrant workers to quickly identify sources of international law relevant to more than 65 migrant worker issues across 19 countries of origin and destination (sending and receiving countries), making the UN standards and mechanisms more accessible and potentially eliminating hours of legal research. The purpose of the DTP's legal reference tool is to make the task of identifying migrant worker rights and protections quick and easy for those advocating on their behalf.
We were privileged to hear from a business and human rights expert and Chair of the UN Working Group on Business & Human Rights, Surya Deva. Surya spoke about the importance of corporations as a key player in promoting human rights, whilst realising challenges still exist. He conveyed the need of mandatory due diligence; supply chain governance; access to remedies; and a global network of pro bono lawyers that can help affected communities - tool which can influence businesses to respect and realise human rights.
We would also like to thank Corrs Chambers Westgarth for kindly hosting the event and Australian Human Rights Institute for the joint collaboration.
DTP was pleased to welcome back US Human Rights and Environmental Activist and Academic, Professor Joshua Cooper on Monday 21 August 2017, to reflect on the "The Sustainable Development Goals: Challenging Inequality in Australia".
Academics, members of DTP and UNSW staff and students were invited to attend an interactive discussion that involved Joshua explaining the diplomacy of Human Rights in Australia and globally and how Human Rights combined with advocacy promote the 'Sustainable Development Goals'.
Joshua spoke on the growing agenda of Human Rights (HR) nationwide as Australia is preparing to present its first Voluntary National Review at the 2018 UN High-Level Political Forum (HLPF) stimulated by the '2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development' with the intention of facilitating the implementation of projects proposed to promote the SDGs. It is essential for national bodies to consult with the civil society prior to and after the HLPF for better adoption of the '2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development' and SDG goal 'Leaving no-one behind'.
Joshua further disclosed the nature of the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) as three cycles of review. There are multiple phases of the UPR including: preparation, action, consideration, adoption and implementation which educate, engage, and empower individuals and global governmental bodies to connect with issues of inequality in Australia.
The DTP was delighted to welcome Sevan Doraisamy, the Executive Director of Suara Rakyat Malaysia (SUARAM). Members and friends of the DTP, UNSW staff and students, and other organisations (Australian Pro Bono Centre and Amnesty International Australia) attended an engaging discussion about human rights in Malaysia.
Sevan gave a thorough insight into the issue of Detention without Trial in Malaysia, discussing the impact of national security legalisation. An open floor discussion raised concerns of Malaysia's security and terrorism laws towards its citizens and human right defenders. Sevan emphasised that Freedom of Expression and Economic, Social and Cultural rights were the two main laws that currently affect human right defenders in Malaysia.
Sevan also made a guest appearance on the ABC Radio National Breakfast Show on Thursday 15 June 2017. The talk discussed the concern of enforced disappearances in Malaysia, shedding light on the recent abductions of four people. Sevan predicted that an increasing number of groups in Malaysia are openly expressing religious intolerance. He indicated the importance of government authorities and the police to take responsibility for the recent abductions.
A special capacity building program focused on the rights of Indonesia's migrant workers was launched in Jakarta on June 28th, with 27 participants drawn from across Indonesia. The program aims to support advocates working for the millions of Indonesians working in countries such as Malaysia, Hong Kong, Singapore and across the Middle-East. This program will include 5 x 4-day modules over the next 12 months.
Over 50% of the participants in the first module were women, many of them returned migrant domestic workers themselves – now engaged in advocacy on behalf of others.
The program was organised by the Diplomacy Training Program in partnership with Migrant Forum Asia (MFA) and Serikat Buruh Migran Indonesia (SBMI).
This regional program brought together participants, representing civil society organisations, from eight Pacific Island countries. The program helped build knowledge of international human rights standards and mechanisms that can be applied and integrated into effective advocacy strategies and address the challenges of unchecked economic encroachment.
The program was organised by Diplomacy Training Program (DTP) in partnership with the Pacific Islands Association of NGOs (PIANGO), Citizens Constitutional Forum (CCF), the UN's Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), Business & Human Rights Resource Centre, and the UNSW Institute for Global Development.
This regional program was organised by DTP and JOAS to build the knowledge and skills of human rights defenders and Indigenous Peoples' advocates to promote and protect human rights in the context of rapid economic development and the impact of the private sector on the lands and livelihoods of Indigenous Peoples. There were 24 participants from 8 countries – 16 women and 8 men. There were session on relevant UN human rights standards, the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, the UN system, the SDGs and the intersection of the environment and human rights – as well as skills building sessions in strategic advocacy; video advocacy and lobbying.
A highlight of the training was a field visit to Kampung Sungai Eloi on the northern tip of Sabah – and a community affected by a large scale shrimp farming project that has destroyed mangroves and local habitats and sources of livelihoods – without the local communities being able to exercise Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) over their Native Customary Land.
The program was made possible with funding from Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
The program was organized by the Diplomacy Training Program (DTP) and Migrant Forum in Asia (MFA) in partnership with the local host, INSAN and the Cross-Regional Center for Refugees and Migrants (CCRM). The program involved almost 30 participants including domestic workers, civil society representatives, trade unions, and journalists from 16 countries including Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Morocco, Turkey, Nepal, Ethiopia, the Philippines, and India.
• the Global Compact process and its relevant thematic issues such as migrants – refugees and regular-irregular migrant workers among others.
Presenters/speakers included: Dr Ryszard Cholewinski (ILO), Abeer Al-Khraisha (OHCHR), Sophia Kagan (ILO), Marie-Jose Tayah -( IWDF), Professor Ray Jureidini and Australia's Ambassador to Lebanon, Glenn Miles and Reem Khalifa.
This program was a collaboration between DTP and Migrant Forum Asia (MFA) to enhance the capacity for effective and strategic collaboration on the advocacy for the rights of migrant workers' rights in countries of origin and destination. The program was hosted by the National Network for Safe Migration (NNSM) and participants of the program included alumni of previous DTP national and regional training programs.
Since 2004, DTP and MFA have worked together to provide programs that are a unique contribution to efforts to promote and protect the rights of migrant workers in Asia and the Middle East. Following 14 years of regional and national training programs in countries of origin and destination, a reflection and review program was organized to explore ways in which collaboration can be built along migration corridors to enable effective action on cases and policy/law reform in countries of origin and destination.
The program, funded by the ILO, brought together participants from countries of destination in the Middle-East and countries of origin in South Asia and enabled the sharing of good practices and lessons learned, looking at how better communication and coordination between groups and networks could enable more effective case work, facilitate access to justice and collaborative work on policy reform.
DTP also helped to facilitate a one day program with advocates from the Middle East and coordinators of migrant resource centres from across Nepal in the SaMI network. The exchange was a rare opportunity to learn from each other about the challenges and realities each face in working to protect the rights of migrant workers in very different environments.
The Diplomacy Training Program (DTP) held its 27th Annual Human Rights and People's Diplomacy Training Program for Human Rights Defenders from Oct 2-13, 2017. The program was held in partnership with Judicial System Monitoring Programme.
The program had 24 participants from over 9 countries that participated in this training. We were warmly welcomed by DTP's Patron and Founder, the Nobel Peace Laureate and former President, José Ramos-Horta & Australian Ambassador to Timor-Leste H.E Peter Doyle.
The program helped build practical links between advocates in the region facing shared challenges. These challenges include violence against women, land-grabbing and forced displacements, freedom of religion and freedom of association, the rights of migrant workers and of Indigenous peoples, transitional justice, protecting human rights in repressive and authoritarian environments and integrating human rights into sustainable development policy and practice.
The participants were fortunate to learn from experienced trainers from the UN and WITNESS, and had the opportunity to do a lobbying and campaigning exercises with Australian Embassy staff based in Timor-Leste. The participants also delve into the history and lessons of Timor-Leste as they spoke to the victims' families of the Liquicia massacre and field visits to Centro Nacional Chega and Resistance Museum.
DTP held the fifth and final module of its 15 month long capacity building program on the rights of migrant worker rights in Malaysia. It continued its focus on engaging with the UN human rights system with a focus on the Universal Periodic Review and on human rights standards with sessions on UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and on Trafficking and the US Trafficking in Persons reporting process. The issues facing stateless children of migrant workers was highlighted – with the consequent denial of rights to identity, the right to education and the right to health. A highlight of the program was sessions with Arul Prakkash of WITNESS who led very practical sessions on communicating messages through social media – which had immediate impact with hits and shares and compensation being offered to Nepalese migrant workers.
The participants in this program have formed a very active and collaborative network – sharing information and advice on cases and working together on rights issues for migrant workers in Malaysia. DTP thanks its partners and the participants of the program and will produce a full report.
The Diplomacy Training Program (DTP) in partnership with Migrant Forum in Asia (MFA), Bar Council Migrants, Refugees and Immigration Affairs Committee (MRIAC), North South Initiative (NSI), and Migration Working Group (MWG) are holding a special capacity building program for Malaysian civil society on the rights of migrant workers.
The program will be designed with program participants to build knowledge, skills and networks to enhance and support civil society advocacy for the promotion and protection of migrant workers' rights in Malaysia.
The program will bring together Malaysian advocates with advocates from countries of origin, including Nepal, Bangladesh, Philippines, Indonesia and Cambodia to build links and networks and to develop shared advocacy strategies for greater impact in Malaysia and countries of origin.
DTP has just completed the 3rd module of its capacity building program in Malaysia on the rights of migrant workers. The module focused on the private sector and human rights - and the challenges of ending abuses in the recruitment, manufacturing, construction and forestry/palm oil sectors – as well as abuses experienced by migrant domestic workers, mostly women.
Sessions were led by Professor Surya Deva, Chair of the UN Working Group on Business and Human Rights, DTP alumnus and SUHAKAM Commissioner, Jerald Joseph and Marie Apostol, of FairHire Initiative as well as representatives from business and from the RSPO. Working together with participants, there was a great sense that change is possible.
Sharan Burrow (pictured above), ITUC General Secretary spoke with participants in the DTP/MFA course on the rights of migrant workers in Malaysia (Module 1) - organised with Malaysia Bar Council, North-South Institute and Migration Working Group. For more information, click on this link.
To mark the 10th Anniversary of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples [UNDRIP], DTP and the Asia Indigenous Peoples Pact (AIPP) delivered a capacity building program on the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in Thailand.
…. to end poverty and hunger everywhere; to combat inequalities within and among countries; to build peaceful, just and inclusive societies; to protect human rights and promote gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls; and to ensure the lasting protection of the planet and its natural resources.
This special program celebrates the 10th Anniversary of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and helped build the capacity of Indigenous peoples' organisations and their representatives to use UNDRIP as they engage with governments and the private sector in SDGs planning and programming.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) Dontrell Shuler had 17 points as Charleston Southern narrowly defeated Florida Atlantic 68-66 in the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament first round on Thursday night.
Phlandrous Fleming Jr. had 17 points for Charleston Southern (18-15). Ty Jones added 14 points. Christian Keeling had 12 points, all in the second half, for the home team.
Fleming blocked a layup with 13 seconds remaining to preserve the Buccaneers' 68-66 lead. Keeling missed the front end of a one-and-one with 10 seconds left and FAU's Xavian Stapleton missed a go-ahead 3-pointer as time ran out.
