Parliament and the Law
Parliament and the Law is an edited collection of essays, sponsored by the Study of Parliament Group and written by leading constitutional lawyers, practitioners and parliamentary officials, with a Foreword by Sir Ross Cranston (a Justice of the High Court and former Solicitor-General).
The book provides a wide-ranging overview of the ways in which the law applies to Parliament and considers how recent changes to our constitutional arrangements (in particular the Human Rights Act, the establishment of a Supreme Court and increasing devolution) have impacted on Parliament as an institution.

Handbook on European Competition Law: Enforcement and Procedure
Handbook on European Competition Law: Enforcement and Procedure sets out in detail the procedural aspects of EU competition law, ranging from fines, remedies and judicial review. It also gives unique insight into both private and public enforcement of completion law, and offers commentary on the relationship between EU competition law and national competition law, and on the relationship between competition law and private international law.

Handbook on European Competition Law: Substantive Aspects
Handbook on European Competition Law: Substantive Aspects sets the context for examination of substantive law by reviewing and analyzing the goals of competition law. It then covers the substantive building blocks of EU competition law, including horizontal and vertical agreements, cartels, mergers, and also provides valuable coverage of the interaction between competition and regulation, hub and spoke collusion, and information exchange agreements. The importance of the abuse of dominance doctrine is reflected in three discrete chapters considering exploitative abuses, exclusionary pricing abuses, and exclusionary non-pricing abuses.

Competition Law and Development
Competition Law and Development investigates whether or not the competition law and policy transplanted from Europe and the United States can be successfully implemented in the developing world or whether the developing-world experience suggests a need for a different analytical framework. The political and economic environment of developing countries often differs significantly from that of developed countries in ways that may have serious implications for competition law enforcement.

|Ronald Dworkin: Third Edition
Stephen Guest
Stanford University Press
Ronald Dworkin is widely accepted as the most important and most controversial Anglo-American jurist of the past forty years. And this same-named volume on his work has become a minor classic in the field, offering the most complete analysis and integration of Dworkin's work to date. This third edition offers a substantial revision of earlier texts and, most importantly, incorporates discussion of Dworkin's recent masterwork Justice for Hedgehogs.
Accessibly written for a wide readership, this book captures the complexity and depth of thought of Ronald Dworkin. Displaying a long-standing commitment to Dworkin's work, Stephen Guest clearly highlights the scholar's key theories to illustrate a guiding principle over the course of Dworkin's work: that there are right answers to questions of moral value. In assessing this principle, Guest also expands his analysis of contemporary critiques of Dworkin. The third edition includes an updated and complete bibliography of Dworkin's work.

Landmark Cases in Equity
The 22 essays in this collection were originally written as papers for the highly successful SLS Annual Conference held at UCL in 2011. They examine a series of landmark cases in the development of equitable doctrine running from the seventeenth century to recent times. The book continues a series of essay collections edited by Charles Mitchell and Paul Mitchell, which began with Landmark Cases in the Law of Restitution (2006), and continued with Landmark Cases in the Law of Contract (2008) and Landmark Cases in the Law of Tort (2010).
The range, breadth and social importance of equitable principles, as these affect commercial, domestic and even political matters are well known. By focusing on the historical development of these principles, the essays in the new collection will help readers to understand those principles better, and also provide insights into the processes of legal change through judicial innovation. Themes addressed in the essays include the nature of the courts' equitable jurisdiction, the development of property rights in equity, constraints on the powers of settlors to create express trusts, the duties of trustees and other fiduciaries, remedies for breach of these duties, and the evolution of constructive and resulting trusts.

Judging Social Rights
Countries that now contemplate constitutional reform often grapple with the question of whether to constitutionalise social rights. This book presents an argument for why, under the right conditions, doing so can be a good way to advance social justice. In making such a case, Dr. Jeff King considers the nature of the social minimum, the role of courts among other institutions, the empirical record of judicial impact, and the role of constitutional text. He argues, however, that when enforcing such rights, judges ought to adopt a theory of judicial restraint structured around four principles: democratic legitimacy, polycentricity, expertise and flexibility. These four principles, when taken collectively, commend an incrementalist approach to adjudication. The book combines theoretical, doctrinal, empirical and comparative analysis, and is written to be accessible to lawyers, social scientists, political theorists and human rights advocates.

Pettet's Company Law: Company Law and Corporate Finance
John Lowry and Arad Reisberg's 4th edition of Pettet's Company Law offers a sophisticated, comprehensive overview of company law doctrine coupled with thorough analysis of the context within which the black letter rules operate. This is the second edition of the book since the passing of Ben Pettet in 2005. As with the last edition, the book continues to carry forward the emphasis Ben placed on financial markets law and corporate finance not as mere bolt-on to company law as distinct subjects, but as an integral part of the whole.
The Companies Act 2006 is bedding-down and as is apparent from the increased length of the book, it is now generating its own body of jurisprudence. Further, since the last edition, the banking crisis has resulted in ever increasing initiatives for the reform of financial services, including capital markets, together with key reforms to the way in which UK companies are governed. Indeed, the subject of corporate governance, particularly the way in which directors are remunerated, is now roundly politicised and is routinely raised as a bone of contention during parliamentary debates. The chapter dealing with directors' duties has been enlarged There is an in-depth analysis of the new Corporate Governance and Stewardship Codes as well changes to the structure of financial services in the EU and the UK including the abolishment of the FSA. Moreover, a new chapter has been added which deals with credit rating agencies, the influence of which is keenly felt in the political economy.
Seeking Security: Pre-Empting the Commission of Criminal Harms
Seeking Security: Pre-Empting the Commission of Criminal Harms is a joint publication including essays from number of current (and past) colleagues at UCL Laws. The essays are based on papers given at a UCL conference in 2010, organised by the Faculty's Centre for Criminal Law. Contributors include Ian Dennis, Bob Sullivan and Jonathan Rogers from UCL, in addition to Larry Alexander (San Diego), Antony Duff (Stirling), Kimberley Kessler Ferzan (Rutgers), Jeremy Horder (KCL), Peter Ramsay (LSE), Andrew Simester (Singapore), John Stanton-Ife (KCL), Malcolm Thorburn (Queen's University, Kingston, Canada), Shlomit Wallerstein (Oxford), Martin Wasik (Keele), Lucia Zedner (Oxford).
Classic liberal criminal law scholarship broadly holds that the criminal law should intervene against a citizen only when there is a reasonable suspicion that he/she has caused harm to the legally protected interests of another or was on the brink of doing so, that criminal liability must be proved beyond reasonable doubt, that any punishment for wrongdoing should be proportionate to its gravity, and that when the offender has suffered the punishment the account is cleared. However, these normative aspirations are challenged by contemporary criminal law and practice which demonstrates an increasing concern in Anglophone jurisdictions with security and the management of risks of harm. The essays explore the disconnection between theory and practice; they also consider the implications of this development for the form and relevance of criminal law scholarship.

The European Union after the Treaty of Lisbon
This book is co-edited by the team from the Centre for Law and Governance in Europe (CLGE) and is based on lectures on the Lisbon treaty organized by the CLGE in 2010.
The volume of essays casts light on the shape and future direction of the EU in the wake of the Lisbon Treaty and highlights the incomplete nature of the reforms. Contributors analyse some of the most innovative and most controversial aspects of the Treaty, such as the role and nature of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights and the relationship between the EU and the European Court of Human Rights. In addition, they reflect on the on-going economic and financial crisis in the Euro area, which has forced the EU Member States to re-open negotiations and update a number of aspects of the Lisbon 'settlement'. Together, the essays provide a variety of insights into some of the most crucial innovations introduced by the Lisbon Treaty and in the context of the adoption of the new European Financial Stability Mechanism.

Family Law, Gender and the State 3rd edition
Professor Alison Diduck has published the third edition of her textbook Family Law, Gender and the State. It is a substantial update from the previous 2006 edition as family law underwent significant change at that time. The latest, third edition of this substantial work on family law, comprising text, cases and materials, provides not only an explication of legal principle but also explores, primarily from a feminist perspective, some of the assumptions about, and constructions of, gender, sexual orientation, class and culture that underlie the law. It examines the ideology of the family and, in particular, the role of the law in contributing to and reproducing that ideology.

|Children's Rights: Progress and Perspectives
Essays from the International Journal of Children's Rights
Michael Freeman (Contributor and Editor)
Martinus Nijhoff, 2011
More has been written about children, childhood and children's rights in the last 20 years than in the rest of history. There are more university courses focusing on children now than ever before. The International Journal of Children's Rights has been a major player in all this. This volume has been compiled not only to commemorate the journal's work, but also the 20th anniversary of the Convention coming into operation, and of the first World Summit on Children.
This collection contains 20 essays on a range of children's rights issues, including theory, principles, problem areas and history. As well as editing the volume, Professor Michael Freeman of UCL Laws has also written an article.
|Trade Mark Dilution in Europe and the United States
Ilanah Simon Fhima
Oxford University Press 2011
This new book by UCL Laws Lecturer Ilanah Simon Fhima is the only comparison of EU and US protection against trade mark dilution. It provides a complete overview of the dilution action, enabling readers to better protect trade marks against dilution or to combat dilution claims. By examining the justifications offered for dilution, the book places the dilution action in the wider context of the trade mark system, allowing readers to understand the issues behind the law and to consider whether the law appropriately meets these justifications. It considers the fundamental questions raised about trade marks, including whether the main aim of trade marks is to protect the public from being confused, or the investment of trade mark owners in building up their reputations. The book also considers how well the EU and the US take these questions into account in balancing the interests of trade mark owners, their competitors and the public through the dilution action.

Emergence of EU Contract Law: Exploring Europeanization
The emergence of a European contract law is one of the most significant legal developments in Europe today. This book, by UCL Laws Senior Lecturer Lucinda Miller, examines the origins of the discipline and its subsequent evolution. It brings the discussion up-to-date with full analysis of the debate on the Common Frame of Reference and the future that this ambiguous instrument may have in the contemporary European legal framework.
One of the central themes of the book is exploration of the multi-level, open architecture of the EU legal order, and the implications of that architecture for the EU's private law programme. The analysis demonstrates that the key to understanding European contract law in the 21st century lies in adopting a perspective and mechanisms suitable for a legal order populated by multiple sources of private law.

How Constitutions Change
This book, a comparative study, is a set of essays that explores how constitutions change and are changed in a number of countries, and how the 'constitution' of the EU changes and is changed. The countries in this study include, from the EU, a common law country, a Nordic one, a former communist state, several civil law systems, parliamentary systems and a hybrid one (France). Chapters on non EU countries include two on developing countries (India and South Africa), two on common law countries without entrenched written constitutions (Israel and New Zealand), a presidential system (the USA) and three federal ones (Switzerland, the USA and Canada). In the last two chapters the editors conduct a detailed comparative analysis of the jurisdiction-based chapters and explore the question whether any overarching theory or theories about constitutional change in liberal democracies emerge from the study.

Corporate Finance Law in the UK and EU
A major new title edited by Dan Prentice (Visiting Professor, UCL Laws) and Dr Arad Reisberg includes four chapters written by UCL Laws Faculty members Professor John Lowry, Iris H-Y Chiu, Dr Arad Reisberg and Professor Robert Stevens. The volume brings together contributions from over 18 international academic and practitioner experts (thus combining perspectives from practice, legal theory and doctrinal analysis) and presents a comprehensive examination of questions facing the current understanding and future application of corporate finance law, such as the optimal adaptation of regulation in highly dynamic settings and the scope for innovation in legal markets in light of the current debt crisis. The book includes a foreword by Lady Justice Mary Arden.
This book provides a comparative perspective of equity financing, debt financing, European law and policy, and practical research on how to improve and solve current problems related to corporate finance. It considers areas of corporate finance that are likely to be of key importance in the next few years, including regulatory reforms which are of present concern. It also addresses timely and important questions such as the impact of higher interest rates on capital market strategies and how directors should balance the demands for disclosure and transparency with the cost of compliance.

|Lyster's International Wildlife Law (2nd edition)
Professor Catherine Redgwell (co-author)
Cambridge University Press 2010
Catherine Redgwell's important book, Lyster's International Wildlife Law, written with co-authors Michael Bowman (University of Nottingham) and Peter Davies (University of Nottingham), has been published in second edition. The development of international wildlife law has been one of the most significant exercises in international law-making during the last fifty years. This second edition coincides with both the UN Year of Biological Diversity and the 25th anniversary of Simon Lyster's first edition.
The risk of wildlife depletion and species extinction has become even greater since the 1980s. This new edition provides a clear and authoritative analysis of the key treaties which regulate the conservation of wildlife and habitat protection, and of the mechanisms available to make them work. The original text has also been significantly expanded to include analysis of the philosophical and welfare considerations underpinning wildlife protection, the cross-cutting themes of wildlife and trade, and the impact of climate change and other anthropogenic interferences with species and habitat. Lyster's International Wildlife Law is an indispensable reference work for scholars, practitioners and policy-makers alike. For further details please see the Cambridge University Press website.

Freedom and the Law: A Comparative Study
Eric Barendt, Emeritus Professor of Media Law at UCL, has written a new book entitled Academic Freedom and the Law: A Comparative Study. The book provides a critical analysis of the law relating to academic freedom in three major jurisdictions: the United Kingdom, Germany and the United States. It outlines the various claims which may be made to academic freedom by individual university teachers and by universities and other higher education institutions, and it examines the justifications which have been put forward for these claims. This is the first comparative study of a subject of fundamental importance to all academics and others working in universities. It emphasises the importance of academic freedom, while pointing out that, on occasion, exaggerated claims have been made to its exercise.
Further details can be found on the Hart Publishing website. Hearty congratulations to Eric on this latest publication.

|Disobeying the Security Council: Countermeasures against Wrongful Sanctions
Antonios Tzanakopoulos
Oxford Monographs in International Law, OUP, 2011
Disobeying the Security Council: Countermeasures against Wrongful Sanctions (Oxford Monographs in International Law, OUP, 2011) has been published by Antonios Tzanakopoulos, Lecturer at UCL Laws. The book deals with the international responsibility of the UN for Security Council sanctions that violate international law, and argues that disobedience of such sanctions may be justified as a countermeasure.
The book examines how the United Nations Security Council, in exercising its power to impose binding non-forcible measures ('sanctions') under Article 41 of the UN Charter, may violate international law, in the sense of limits on its power imposed by the UN Charter itself and by general international law, including human rights guarantees. Such acts may engage the international responsibility of the United Nations, the organization of which the Security Council is an organ. It then proceeds to assess how and by whom the engagement of this responsibility can be determined. Most importantly, the book discusses how and by whom the responsibility of the UN for unlawful Security Council sanctions can be implemented. In other words, how the UN can be held to account for Security Council excesses. The central thesis of this work is that States can respond to unlawful sanctions imposed by the Security Council, in a decentralized manner, by disobeying the Security Council's command. In international law, this disobedience can be justified as constituting a countermeasure to the Security Council's unlawful act. Recent practice of States, both in the form of executive acts and court decisions, demonstrates an increasing tendency to disobey sanctions that are perceived as unlawful. After discussing other possible qualifications of disobedience under international law, the book concludes that this practice can (and should) be qualified as a countermeasure.

The Philosophical Foundations of Extraterritorial Punishment
Dr Alejandro Chehtman, Research Associate at UCL Laws, has written a new book entitled The Philosophical Foundations of Extraterritorial Punishment. This book provides the first full account, explanation and critique of extraterritorial punishment in international law. In doing so, it will steer current debates on international criminal justice and the philosophy of punishment in new directions, and link these debates to globalisation, the emergence of transnational crime, terrorism, war, and the problem of impunity and mass atrocity.
Further details can be found on the Oxford University Press website. Many congratulations to Alejandro.

Treaty Interpretation
Richard Gardiner's Treaty Interpretation was published in paperback edition on 30 September 2010 by OUP. This edition includes a substantial new preface with analysis of developments in treaty interpretation since 2008. The book explains the rules for interpretation of treaties and gives examples of their application in national and international jurisdictions. The rules of treaty interpretation codified in the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties now apply to virtually all treaties which may be encountered in an international context and also within national legal systems where treaties have an impact on a large and growing range of matters.

The Reform of EC Competition Law - New Challenges
Responding to external and internal pressure for change the slow reform of EC competition law since the 1989 Merger Regulation can now be seen as a major thread rather than a series of peripheral developments. Now, a body of 'new' law may be discerned that encompasses several far-reaching regulations as well as their clarification and extension by official guidelines, discussion papers, ECJ decisions, and legal scholarship.
Twenty-nine prominent competition law authorities – representing all three 'estates' (practice, administrative regulation, and academe) – bring their deeply informed knowledge and perspectives on this crucially important body of law to the table. The many issues they address include the following:

Please confirm that your email address is correct, so you can successfully receive this alert.
by Alice Miller; New York City, Pantheon Books, 1998, 186 pages, $23
In her book Paths of Life: Seven Scenarios, psychoanalyst Alice Miller has as her central premise that our families and our early experiences "mark us for life." She illustrates her point by recounting seven fictionalized stories of people who had early experiences that left a lifelong impact. The subject is an important one, and Miller is a gifted clinician, but in the final analysis the book is not as successful as it might have been.
The key to Miller's thesis lies in the word "mark." While we might all easily agree that we are influenced, guided, or affected by early experiences, "marked" is a harsher and more judgmental term. "Marked" seems synonymous with "scarred," "burdened," perhaps even "cursed." Of course there are childhood experiences that "mark" us in Miller's sense. Childhood sexual and physical abuse (1) and the early and tragic death of a mother or father (2) are such events. But there are many other less catastrophic events that affect and influence us without inflicting permanent damage. These experiences happen because the world is an imperfect place, and parents are human and fallible, like all people. Miller makes no distinction among the range of events that affect us.
Miller has chosen to convey her points by telling stories of the lives of people that she has made up. They are fictional accounts of fictitious people. Unfortunately, this literary device fails to serve Miller's purpose of enlivening her message. Instead, the voices of her characters, whether in dialogue or through letters, sound stilted and artificial. The characters frequently sound like psychotherapists giving a lecture rather than real people talking about their lives. Occasionally, when Miller wants to make an especially didactic point, she has a character reference a book or an article he or she has recently read.
Moreover, some of the vignettes themselves stretch the reader's credulity. In one scenario, a woman confronts the father who sexually stimulated her as a young child. At the end of their conversation, the father confides: "I'm sorry I was so blind. I never knew, never even suspected that I had done you any harm, severe harm as you say. . . . Today I see that I was guilty. But I don't feel attacked. I'm going to think over carefully what you've said to me."
Any clinician who works with sexual abuse survivors knows how unrealistic such dialogue is. Few perpetrators graciously admit their wrongdoing. Instead, survivors often find their experiences invalidated, trivialized, or denied. Occasionally, abusers attempt to blame survivors for the abuse or make threats of future abuse if survivors continue to "spread nasty rumors." The exchange in Miller's book may be every survivor's dream, but it is rare indeed in real-life confrontations.
In her concluding remarks, entitled "Reflections," Miller returns to the style her readers (myself included) have come to expect and admire. Her discussion of the power of gurus and cults is both lucid and insightful. In her comments on the origins of hatred, she draws heavily on her own previous work to understand the motives of vicious dictators, Hitler in particular, and offers a discussion that is both powerful and unsettling.
Alice Miller is once again to be commended for continuing to remind us of the devastating impact parental cruelty has on children. Unfortunately, in Paths of Life she has delivered her message in a flawed vehicle.
Dr. Harris is clinical director of Community Connections in Washington, D.C.

Keeping your computer safe with Linux
Rescue Me
When thinking about ways you could rescue your system with Linux, the thought occurred to me: Why not rescue your life? Because that's what Linux can do for you.
I like to think that I am a good cook, but not a good chef. To me, the difference between a cook and a chef is that a cook is someone who can use basic cooking skills and put together some decent and simple food, usually by following a recipe. A chef is someone who creates wonderful and new food by understanding how food works together. Give a cook some eggs, peppers, and cheese, and they'll probably whip up a decent western omelet. Chefs could take the same ingredients and put together something like a pepper-infused cheese soufflé, just off the top of their heads.
Using Linux is a lot like being a cook in a world where it's easy to open a box, boil some dry goods, and call it macaroni and cheese – when you could just as easily and with a little more time make homemade mac and cheese that would be infinitely better tasting and even better for you.

Oh what fun it is to ride on a one, mini horse, open sleigh.
Kids lined up at the top of the Church Street marketplace-- to take a ride with some mini horses Saturday. Every year the marketplace invites the Green Mountain Miniature Horse And Donkey Association to have a few of their horses trot down the street with buggy in tow. The rides are free and are not just for kids. The horses can pull up to two adults at a time. But no matter the age of a rider or ganizers say the horses leave permanent smiles on everyone's face.
Scotty Richard said he comes to ride the horses every year.
"I like hearing their feet clank when I ride on them -- and they're just fun." said Richard.
Mini horse owner Kristin Quimby said, "A lot of them don't get a chance to get up close to a horse so that's personally why I do it to see and the rest of us -- how rewarding it is for us to see the kids and families together have such a good time."
This year's event was sponsored by Fair Point Communications. Owners say the the mini-horses can live to be 40-years-old.
Two other gubernatorial candidates shared the gazebo with Scott Milne and Gov. Peter Shumlin for Saturday's debate.

Roasted Veggie Wrap
I have three words for you today. Read very, very carefully. You won't want to miss them.
Smoked. Swiss. Cheese.
Oh my goodness!!! Up until this week, I had no idea of the deliciousness they represent. I've long been a fan of smokey cheeses, but somehow had never had the fortune to run across smoked swiss. But thanks to my lovely friend at the deli, who always has new cheese samples for me to try each time I visit (yay!), I finally had my first taste of it this week. Suffice it to say, only about half of the slices I bought made it all the way home. :) Delicious!!!
I did manage a to show a little restraint, though, and save the rest for this yummy roasted veggie wrap which is the feature for day four of Cheap Eats Week. While it may be inexpensive, this little wrap is absolutely packed with great flavor! The combination of the smokey cheese, paired with the balsamic-garlic roasted veggies (especially the portabello!) was absolutely amazing. And, the entire prep time was less than 5 minutes. Pretty sure I counted the minutes at work until lunchtime rolled around for this one. :)
Roasted Veggie Wrap
- whole-wheat tortillas
- 1 red pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow pepper, sliced
- 1 large portabello mushroom, or baby portabellas (about 8 oz.)
- 1 yellow onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (about 1 tsp.)
- 1 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- favorite cheese (3 cheers for smoked swiss!)
- salt 'n pepper
Preheat oven to 400 F degrees. In a large bowl, toss mushrooms, peppers, onions and garlic with olive oil and balsalmic vinegar. Spread on baking sheet, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Then place in oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes or until vegetables are softening and starting to brown.
On a separate surface, place cheese in center of tortilla. Spoon roasted vegetables in center of wrap and on the cheese. Tuck both sides in and roll wrap like a big cigar. Serve whole, or cut in the center on a diagonal.
Ali's Tip:
In addition to veggies and cheese, feel free to also add in some pesto, hummus, or fresh salsa to the mix!

We salute The Tragically Hip
If there's a band more quintessentially Canadian than Kingston's the Tragically Hip, we'd like to know about them. For the better part of three decades (!), the quintet of vocalist Gordon Downie, guitarists Paul Langlois and Rob Baker, bassist Gord Sinclair and drummer Johnny Fay have waved the nation's rock and roll flag, producing album after album of angular, offbeat, consistently excellent songs at once shaped by their homeland yet universal in theme.
Granted, they'd be a lot less interesting were it not for oddball singer Downie and his bottomless supply of oh-so-watchable tics, twitches and nutty non-sequiturs reliably dispatched from the stage. Still, the Hip is the sum of its parts, and a national treasure besides. As the band prepares a coast-to-coast tour in support of their Now for Plan A disc, we salute them, stubbies in hand and toques jauntily pushed to the side.
I have seen the Hip seven times and among over 300 concerts I have attended (and 100+ I have played) the Road Apples and Fully Completely shows are in my top 20. My old, mostly original band "reduced" covering the Hip after Monday magazine described us as a "Hip tribute band", what more can I say!

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11)-- A judge has overturned a misdemeanor assault conviction against jockey, Robby Albarado, on appeal.
The judge, Brian Edwards, said a comment made by the prosecution during jury selection was prejudicial.
Albarado had been previously found guilty and fined $500 for a fourth degree wanton assault charge he received for his role in a 2012 altercation, involving his former girlfriend, at his home.
Judge Edwards sent the case back to trial court for a new trial.

Fuel Economy (city/hwy)
2002 Honda CR-V
This 2002 review is representative of model years 2002 to 2006.
By Dan Jedlicka of MSN Autos
Bottom Line:
Key improvements should keep revamped CR-V among the leaders.
The magical Honda name and good utility have made the car-like CR-V sport-utility vehicle very popular since its introduction in 1997. The second-generation model has been revamped to make it more competitive in the growing market for smaller sport-utilities.
The 2002 CR-V should especially give the hot, fairly new Ford Escape and redone Toyota RAV4 a good run for the money.
The CR-V always has had bland styling. While no head-turner, the restyled 2002 model has a crisper appearance. It also has more room, a larger 4-cylinder engine, a new chassis, tighter construction, higher refinement and additional features.
Front seats are supportive, and the reclining split rear seat slides nearly 7 inches forwards and backwards. Although occupants sit high, a low floor allows easy entry and big outside door handles can be quickly gripped.
The airy interior is quiet except for some road noise and has three large, classy-looking dials for the climate control system. The new steering wheel is easy to grip, but sits at a slightly bus-like angle. Audio controls are positioned high in the center of the dashboard within a driver's line of sight, but are a stretch for folks with short arms.
Awkward Handbrake
Cargo room is good and becomes impressively large with the rear seat folded entirely forward, partly because the compact new rear wishbone suspension allows more space back there.
Handy Liftgate
Thankfully, the liftgate no longer must be popped up before the door can be opened.
Rear windows lower all the way, but rear-seat headrests partly block driver visibility. A handy tray flips up between the front seats and there are plenty of cupholders and storage areas.
With all the improvements, what more could anyone ask for? Well, how about a V6, which is available for Ford's Escape?
More Potent Engine
There is a significant torque increase at low- to mid-range speeds, and the smoother, new engine no longer sounds strained unless it is pushed hard. Throttle response is significantly better and the CR-V has faster acceleration. It hits 60 mph in 8.5 seconds with the 5-speed manual transmission, but takes a little longer to reach that speed with the decent 4-speed automatic.
High Revs
Fuel economy ranges from an estimated 23 mpg in the city and 28 on highways with front-drive and the automatic transmission to 21 and 25 with the all-wheel-drive trim and manual gearbox.
More Function Than Fun
Comfortable Ride
The high-quality CR-V comes with front- or all-wheel drive, although there is no low-range gearing for serious off-road jaunts. The CR-V has always been designed mainly for driving on paved roads or smooth trails.
Base prices range from $18,800 for the front-drive LX with the 4-speed automatic transmission to $22,300 for the top-line EX with standard all-wheel-drive and the automatic. The shifter for the automatic juts from the dashboard to make controls easy to reach.
No ABS for Base Trim
However, all CR-V trims are well equipped, although the top-line EX has features such as a 6-disc in-dash CD player instead of a single-disc player in the LX. New EX features include a power moonroof and rear disc brakes. It also has standard side airbags up front, which cost $250 for the LX.
Improved in most respects, the new CR-V should continue to be one of the most desirable sport utes.

I'm sorry I've been MIA for a couple days. I just had a lot going on. A wedding, my child's first birthday party and a house full of out of town guests. Look I said I'm sorry! You know I don't get paid for this right? I do this out of the kindness of my heart. You should get down on your knees and kiss my feet every day you get to enjoy my news. Look I'm sorry, that last part might have been a little bit too far. God I said I'm sorry! What do you want from me?! You're such a prick sometimes!
We're a few months away from Halloween but the good folks overt at Universal Studios have dropped word that both "The Walking Dead" and "Silent Hill" will be featured in this year's Halloween Horror Nights. No word yet on what the attractions will be just yet but if I was to guess I'd think for "The Walking Dead" you'll just chase a little kid around a farm for 2 hours and eventually get killed because his stupid ass won't stay in the house.
Despite earlier word that there was no chance in hell the film was going to happen it looks like Guillermo del Toro is very much looking forward to making "Hellboy 3". In a recent interview the ever busy director let loose that him and Ron Perlman are together and trying to make the flick happen. He also went on to say that he's still very much interested in making "At The Mountains Of Madness". He also confirmed that there is in fact an Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy and he owns a Unicorn.
The good folks over at Showtime are teaming up with the gang that brought you "Hung" for a new supernatural thriller series titled "Sleep No More". No word on filming or air dates but the series will focus on a small town where the dead continue to return from the grave. I can't stop giggling over "Hung".
"Community" star Gillian Jacobs has signed on to costar with Ken Marino in a new horror/comedy titled "Milo". The project follows Duncan, played by Marino, a guy who thinks he has a demon living inside his stomach that's causing all his ailments. I thought the same thing the last time I ate at Denny's. Moons Over My Hammy. Am I right?
I know I've only been a parent for a year now but I'd like to think I'll never get to the point where I lock my little bundle of joy in a chicken coop and force her to wear a shock collar. I mean I can't say for 100% sure it won't happen. I just like to think I'll never get there.
A 27 year old California woman is under arrest after she attacked her boyfriend for bringing her the wrong beer. I'm not saying I support domestic violence but sometimes I think the law should go light on people. Just saying.
Today is February 29th, also know as leap day. A day that comes but once every hundred years. Today in the city of New York all the offices and banks are closed and we're constructing a giant wood pile in the middle of time square. At the crack of noon we will begin sacrificing goats, cat, dogs and really any other animal we can find to appease the great fire God who will brings down his unholy vengeance if he is not pleased. It truly is a magical once in a lifetime experience.
Bad news for me and the 7 other people looking forward to a "Hellboy 3" coming out someday. In a recent interview the lead man himself, Ron Perlman dropped a bummer bomb when he said he didn't think it was going to happen. He then clubbed a baby seal and told a group of 1st graders there's no Santa Clause.
One movie Guillermo del Toro is making though is "Pacific Rim", a movie with a plot that confuses the hell out of me but I think there's a bunch of monsters that attack a future world. Or worlds. I think there's a Godzilla type thing. I don't know really. But Ramin Djawadi has been hired to compose the music for the movie. His credits include "Clash of the Titans", "Iron Man", and a bunch of other movies I don't remember the music in.
OMG Will Smith totally let the cat out of the bag by telling the world (some Spanish reporter) that Lady Gaga is going to make an cameo in "Men In Black 3"! Do you think she'll be an alien? I mean she's so crazy and out there I bet she's going to be an alien. Or maybe they'll go curve ball and NOT make her an alien. Oh the options are limitless. Alien! Not alien!? So many options! Too many to choose.
If you've been looking forward to seeing Billy Zane fight a leprechaun in the movie "Red Clover" then I've got some bad news, some good news, some bad news and some news that probably doesn't matter. The bad news is the title is no longer "Red Clover". It's now "Leprechaun's Revenge". The good news is the film finally has a release date of March 17th. The Bad news after that is that it's going to be on Syfy and has nothing to do with the "Leprechaun" series. The good news is it's Billy Zane. The bad news is it's Billy Zane.
If you're going to try to find a dog for your weird sex games you might want to try some place other than Craigslist because there's a good chance the cops are going to find you. I wonder if the officer who set up the sting just sort of stumbled upon the ad or has a daily task of checking the site for people looking to screw dogs.
A 68 year old Iowa man is in the hospital after he accidentally shot himself while trying to kill a caged raccoon. I'm kind of confused as to what really happened but from what I can gather it played out something like one of the old cartoons when they shoot something and it bounces off and flying around the room and eventually hits someone.
A few weeks back we talked about how it looked like "The Munsters" would once again be coming to the small screen in the form of a new TV series. Well it looks like NBC has finally given the new project, which promises to be a darker version of the classic black and white show, the thumbs up. No word yet on cast but Bryan Fuller, who brought you "Pushing Daisies" will be leading the project. Or don't you remember our talks? It's not just physical for me you know!
To up the hotness level of his new film "Pacific Rim" Guillermo del Toro has added Ron Perlman to the cast list. The movie is an epic battle giant robots vs. giant monsters and I will officially start taking bets to to which one Perlman will play.
It's no surprise that a big screen version of "Catching Fire", the second book in the 3 part "Hunger Games" series, is already being produced. It might be a surprise that Simon Beaufoy, the writer of "Slumdog Millionaire", is being eyed to adapt the book. I say it might be a surprise because I assume you're all racist and terrible people. I didn't even bat an eye at the news. I guess I just don't see things the way you do.
One of the most embarrassing things that's ever happened to me was farting in the middle of science class in the fifth grade. Luckily the teacher had stepped out of the room but unfortunately it was during the middle of a test so the room was dead silent. I don't think I ever got over that. By the way, here's some behind the scenes photos from the set of Rob Zombie's "Lords Of Salem".
I had no idea that you could get high off of bath salts but apparently you can. Apparently the high also puts you in a festive spirit because this guy in Ohio got all doped up on them, broke into a home and set up Christmas decorations. I don't think I see any down side to this.
Here's a story about a black guy in Florida who dressed up as a Klan member and burned a cross on his front lawn to scare his wife. Insane? Yes, but you have to imagine it worked.
After nearly four years of podcasting, we at Bloody Good Horror have decided to introduce our first ever spinoff show -- "SophistiCult Cinema."
Ron Perlman will headbutt the evil out of you.
As expected Sunday night's "The Walking Dead" season finale went balls out with the rating, pulling about 8.1 million viewers between the 10 pm and 1 am showings. That's up 9% from last week's show and the series had the highest average for a cable show since 1993. That's a lot of math and to be honest the most amazing part is that I somewhat understand it.
It's no surprise that the producers of "American Psycho: The Musical" are promising tons of gore. Well maybe it's a little surprise since it's going to be on Broadway but that's nowhere near as surprising as the fact that Tom Cruise might be making a small cameo in the show. I know this isn't sarcasm but somehow I still feel like I'm being a wise ass here.
Nicolas Cage and Ron Perlman, I've had dreams that start with those two names. Nightmares, I meant nightmares... I swear! Anyway there's a bunch of new interviews with the two up on the tubes with them talking about how exciting their new flick "Season of the Witch" is. Get hot and bothered!
Hammer's next film titled "The Resident" will apparently not be released in theaters but instead see a DVD/Blu-Ray release on March 29th, 2011. My guess for the change in plans is that putting both Hilary Swank and Jeffrey Dean Morgan on the screen together would cause theaters to burst into flames from all the heat. Now it'll just be your home.
Butcher vs. Boar 2010 took place recently at a shop in Germany when a wild hog ripped apart a butcher shop for close to an hour. Who won? Well one of the gladiators is now being sold as pork chops. You try to guess which one.
Douglas Allen Smith Jr. of Eugene Oregon has officially changed his name to Captain Awesome. That's really all I can say about that.
There's some new photos from "Scream 4" online and it might just be me but Courteney Cox is slowly starting to look like the Ghostface guy. I think I just figured out the ending! They're twins separated at birth. Genius!
This might be the most exciting news ever invented! Kate Beckinsale will be returning as Selene in "Underworld 4" after sitting out the last installment of the series. Are you sitting down? I should have told you to be sitting down. I'm sorry if you fainted and hurt yourself.
Guillermo del Toro is keeping his fingers crossed that he can cast Ron Perlman in his next flick, "At The Mountains Of Madness". The film is based on the H. P. Lovecraft novella of the same name and will apparently be in full on 3D. Ron Perlman in 3D? Get ready ladies!
Chloe Moretz, who you know from "Kick Ass" and "Let Me In" has landed the lead role in the upcoming big screen adaptation of the popular comic book "Emily the Strange". Exciting news for her, but even more exciting news for us in 10 years when she starts doing smack and goes off the deep end. I can't wait!
With all the blood sucking, porn like sex scenes and foul language I'm a little confused as to why this didn't happen sooner. "Sesame Street" will be doing a parody of "True Blood" called "True Mud" for it's new season which starts next week. Muppet Vampire sex, think about it.
1996 - The United States and the world's other major nuclear powers signed a treaty to end all testing and development of nuclear weapons.
"I Sell The Dead" will see a limited release next Friday and in celebration IFC has released a new trailer for the film. The movie stars Dominic Monaghan, Angus Scrimm , Ron Perlman and a bunch of other people horror fans will recognize and is getting some pretty good buzz. Looks like a decent mix of horror and comedy with this one so I've got high hopes. You can take a look at the final trailer below and go nuts with your comments.
Right after filming on "Hellboy 2" finished, Ron Perlman headed of to the set of "I Sell The Dead". This past weekend I got a chance to see the trailer for "I Sell The Dead" and hear writer/director Glenn McQuaid give some background on the film. According to McQuaid, Perlman spent the weeks sleeping on the floor using a sound blanket as a bed, until they needed the blanket that is. From the looks of things, Perlman's suffering was well forth it
Just a warning... being April Fool's day today, you may see some erroneous horror news floating around the web. We'll do our best not to participate in the douchery, but as you probably know sometimes it's hard to discern the real from the fake. Ironically, this is the one day a year when you actually CAN believe something Robert Englund says in an interview, so keep your ears open for "Freddy Vs Jason Vs Chucky" news.
Ron Perlman says that if all goes well he'll be starring in Don Coscarelli's "Bubba Nosferatu" this fall. Perlman, of "Hellboy" fame, is replacing Bruce Campbell as "Elvis" from the first film. I love Perlman, but I'm not sure he's capable of filling either of those roles. We'll have to wait and see.
There's a new poster for this movie "Eve" that came out yesterday, but that's not the interesting news. People are (rightfully) remarking on the similarities between this and the comic book adaptation "Hack & Slash"... and by "similarities" I mean, it's the same exact plot. There's enough room in my heart for two sexy slasher hunters, but I'm not sure the rights holders to "Hack & Slash" are going to agree. We'll keep you updated on any legal shenanigans that may arise from this.
Thomas Dekker of "The Sarah Connor Chronicles" talks about a few upcoming horror projects he's starring in. This should really please all of the Google searchers who seem to end up on our site while searching for people who also hate this guy.
Will Arnett and Michael Shannon have joined the cast of the "Jonah Hex" adaptation. After finally making my way through "Arrested Development" on DVD, hearing Arnett's name in conjunction with any project pretty much turns me into a giddy school girl.
Say what you want about the Weinstein's, they're definitely shrewd business men. They're continuing that trend by buying all the French horror they can while at the Cannes film festival. The way things have gone lately with the horror coming from our froggy friends, I can't say I blame them.
Hit someone with your car and accidentally kill them? It's all good, just leave a really nice apology note before you flee the scene. Your mother will be so proud.
There is so much panic in Egypt over an alleged text message that supposedly will kill you shortly after receiving it, that the health minister had to make a statement assuring people everything's ok. So let me get this straight, the Egyptians are now remaking shitty J-horror films, only in real life? Sarah Michelle Gellar's going to be all over this.
Wow, it looks like scientists in Britain are really close to using a giant "sun laser" to create clean nuclear fusion. After that, I say we take this thing and go destroy Tatooine. I never liked the cut of their jib anyways.
Live in India? It's your lucky day, doctors are now offering a deal where you can get your gun license fast tracked if you also get a vasectomy. Insert your own "shooting blanks" joke here.
1996: Wilson Pickett arrested for possession of cocaine, after a screaming, bloodied woman is seen running from his house. Not sure what you'd say to your neighbors after that to stop them from calling the cops, but I think I'd go with the old gem, "Move along folks, nothing to see here."
This week we discuss alchemy, camera technology, a first time guest host joins the show, and we review "As Above, So Below".

-- Robert Preidt
THURSDAY, Nov. 3 (HealthDay News) -- An ultraviolet receptor in
the skin immediately senses and responds to UV light in order to
protect against UV damage, researchers have found.
So, the tanning response in the skin occurs much more quickly
than was previously known, the investigators noted in the study
published in the Nov. 3 online edition of the journal
Current Biology.
The discovery of this rapid biological response could lead to
the development of new types of sunscreens, according to Elena
Oancea and colleagues at Brown University.
The researchers found that exposure to UVA light causes
pigment-producing cells in the skin to create melanin pigment in a
process that involves calcium release. This response relies on
rhodopsin, a light-sensitive protein that's also found in the eye's
UVA light accounts for about 95 percent of the UV radiation on
the Earth's surface, while UVB light makes up the other 5 percent.
Melanin protects the skin by absorbing UV radiation and converting
it to less harmful heat energy, the researchers explained in a
journal news release.
"We found that human skin detects light using a mechanism similar to that used by the retina, on a timescale significantly faster than was previously known," said Oancea in the news release.
"Our findings show that both the eye and skin -- the only two organs constantly exposed to solar radiation -- use similar molecular mechanisms to decode light," Oancea added.
"We hypothesize that the early melanin production triggered by rhodopsin activation provides a first line of defense against ultraviolet light-induced damage," she said. "If this is the case, then this pathway and its protective capacity should be taken into consideration in the design and use of broad-spectrum sunscreens."

Minnesota Zoo will end its dolphin exhibit via StarTribune
One of the Minnesota Zoo's most popular species will no longer be on exhibit.
The two remaining dolphins are moving within a few months and will not be replaced, the zoo in Apple Valley announced Monday.
Zoo Director Lee Ehmke said Semo and Allie must be relocated because extensive repairs are needed to the 15-year-old Discovery Bay building and the dolphin tank, where the two are housed.
The refurbishment, combined with the species' low availability, means there will be no dolphins at the Minnesota Zoo "in the foreseeable future," Ehmke said.
Ehmke acknowledges that losing dolphins as an attraction will be disappointing to visitors. Except for a few brief interruptions, dolphins have been exhibited at the zoo since it opened in 1978.
"People love dolphins," he said. "It has consistently been one of the favorite animals. They have a lot of charisma, and people find them fascinating and love them, as do we."

Eosinophilic esophagitis (EE) has only recently been recognized, and it is being found in many allergic children. Its symptoms mimic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It is an allergic inflammatory reaction of the esophagus, the muscular tube that carries food from the throat to the stomach.
To distinguish between GERD and EE, a biopsy of the esophagus and GERD studies are preformed. In EE, high levels of eosinophils are detected in the esophagus only, and not other parts of the digestive tract. EE is simply an inflammation of the esophagus caused by the presence of high levels of eosinophils.
Eosinophils are a type of white blood cell that are not normally found in the esophagus. High levels of eosinophils often indicate an allergic response.
Studies have revealed that symptoms from EE do not improve with aggressive acid blockage therapy used for the treatment of GERD. They do improve with an elimination diet or corticosteroid treatment. Skin prick testing and patch testing can help identify which foods might contribute to this disease. The foods most commonly associated with EE are cow's milk, soy, egg and wheat. Airborne allergens may also be a contributing factor. Many children with this disorder have more than one allergy problem.
Resources on eosinophilic esophagitis
The presence of eosinophils in the esophagus causes inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract, which makes digestion very painful. Some of the symptoms associated with EE are:
All treatment plans should be discussed with your individual physician. The treatment team usually consists of your primary doctor and pediatric specialty physicians in Allergy and Gastroenterology who are familiar with this disorder and can perform all needed diagnostic tests. A nutritionist may be needed to help manage dietary concerns.
After skin testing and patch testing is completed, it is recommended that patients eliminate all positive foods from their diet for eight to 12 weeks. At the same time, any other allergic disorders (asthma and allergic rhinitis) must be treated as well. After two to three months of treatment, repeat endoscopy and biopsy are recommended to check for improvement in inflammation.
Possible biopsy results include:
An elemental diet (no large food protein molecules that the immune system can react to) consists of a formula such as NEOCATE, NEOCATE-JR, NEOCATE-1+ or ELECARE. Patients are allowed to drink GATORADE or soda (they do not have protein in them).
Foods are reintroduced into the diet after a normal biopsy. In general, new foods are reintroduced one new food per week while watching for symptoms to return. One or more biopsies may need to be performed during this process to check for inflammation. When patients improve on an elimination diet, we generally recommend reintroduction after three to four months of avoidance. The patch test positive foods are reintroduced first at home while the family keeps a diary. Skin test positive foods are reintroduced next. These may need to be tested first by performing a food challenge in a hospital setting if severe reactions are possible.

Type is one of the most important aspects of any branding solution. Type can easily differentiate an entity. It can unify diverse documents and products. It can also build powerful brand recognition. These are the issues that faced the creative team responsible for the branding of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. The team was, however, aware of the three general guidelines for choosing a typeface to help create a brand identity.
- If you can afford it, have a custom font created that is explicitly for your brand. If you can't afford a custom design, choose a typeface that is both distinctive and versatile. The key is to pick something that walks the fine line between a bland design that is versatile and a distinctive design that will not be appropriate for a multitude of uses.
- Chose a type family with several styles. Roman, italic and bold versions of a family are almost never enough for a large branding system. Perhaps not immediately, but sooner or later the client is going to run into instances where condensed, very bold, or even other styles may be required.
- Use typefaces that have legs. There are more than 200,000 fonts in the world to choose from. Many have a short life – and then become about as fashionable as tie-dyed t-shirts. Brands are supposed to last a long time. Pick a typeface that will not look out of date in a short time.
The Vancouver Organizing Committee took all three of the guidelines to heart when they chose the Neo® Sans typeface design as part of the branding for the 2010 Winter Olympics. Ali Gardiner, vice president of brand and creative services for the Vancouver Organizing Committee, sums it up perfectly. "We selected Neo Sans," she recalls, "because it felt contemporary and would represent Canada as a modern, progressive country, but it also feels like it will 'age well'…which is important for Olympic design because it's seen for decades and even centuries after the Games themselves. Neo Sans also has many weights, which made it practical across the tens of thousands of uses for which it would be required."
To add a little more distinction to the use of the design, the Vancouver team requested that a special custom font be developed by Monotype Imaging. According to Gardiner, "We thought that a unicase font (one that had several lowercase characters designed to the height and proportions of the capitals) could be used for display text in a way that felt both warm and friendly as well as contemporary and cool, which was how we wanted to represent Canada to the world. It also had the potential to become a unique, recognizable typeface for Vancouver 2010, which was important as we established our own look and feel and brand identity leading up to the Games."
Sebastian Lester, the designer of Neo Sans and the custom unicase font, is delighted that his design was chosen for the Winter Games. "I've always sought to design appealing, useful and versatile typefaces," he says. "The face that the design was chosen for the Winter Games confirms that I met my goal with Neo Sans."

Associated Press
A federal judge has rejected a request by the University of Notre Dame for a preliminary injunction against enforcement of portions of the federal health care overhaul that forces it to provide health insurance for students and employees that includes birth control.
U.S. District Judge Philip Simon denied the request Friday, saying he doesn't believe Notre Dame is likely to succeed.
University spokesman Paul Browne said Notre Dame was disappointed in the ruling because it believes the mandate is an impermissible infringement on its religious rights. The university on Monday filed an appeal to the U.S. Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago.
The lawsuit challenges a compromise that attempted to create a buffer for religiously affiliated hospitals, universities and social service groups that oppose birth control.

A Montgomery County teenager who authorities say helped a friend plot to shoot another teenager at the Rockville Metro station is due in court for trial Monday.
Richard Montgomery High School student Tavares Harris, 18, is charged with two counts of attempted first-degree and two counts of attempted second-degree murder for allegedly helping 17-year-old Kevin Nguyen plan the shooting of a then 16-year-old boy. The boy, Nguyen said, had threatened to rob him the day before the May 18 incident, according to authorities.
Both Harris and Nguyen, who faces the same charges of attempted first- and second-degree murder, have been charged as adults in the case.
A Montgomery County Circuit Court judge ruled in October to have Harris' case heard as an adult -- Harris was 17 at the time of the shooting, meaning he was eligible to have his case heard in juvenile court, defense attorneys argued.
But a judge ruled that the severity of the crime warranted a trial as an adult.
"I'm just not convinced that it would be in the interests of the public's safety to hand this case back to juvenile court," said Judge Mary Beth McCormick, according to Southern Maryland Newspapers.
Nguyen's trial is scheduled to begin Dec. 17.
According to police accounts of the shooting, Nguyen angry after a fight with another teen shortly after school let out at Richard Montgomery High. During the fight the 16-year-old teen told Nguyen he was going to rob him, according to authorities.
That's when Nguyen enlisted Harris' help to retaliate, according to police. The two teens met at the Rockville Metro station on May 18, the day after the fight.
Harris brought a gun in a bag to the Metro, according to media reports.
When Nguyen and Harris confronted the other teen at the Metro station at about 2:40 p.m., Nguyen opened fire, hitting the 16-year-old multiple times and hitting an 18-year-old woman, a bystander later found near an exit at the east side of the Metro station, according to authorities.
Both suffered non-life-threatening injuries from the shooting.
Nguyen and Harris were picked up within minutes by police responding to the Metro station. Police quickly discovered that the shooting wasn't random.
At the time of their arrests, authorities reported that both teens were gang members, though it was unclear what, if anything, that had to do with the shooting.

Hi there. I'm Ginger.
I am one of the hundreds of animals at the county animal shelter.
I am a four-year-old Shepard mix.
Somebody picked me up on the street.
That was way back in December.
The volunteers who come to the shelter really like me.
I guess it's because I like to play and I have a lot of energy.
Please visit Pima Animal Care at 4000 North Silverbell.
We all need homes.
Even if people adopt us one at a time, it would make a difference.
My friend, Pinto, who you met last week is still here!
He needs a person, too.

Expert NFL Mock: Part 3
We are getting into my favorite rounds of the draft. This is where we got guys like Mike Wallace, Hakeem Nicks and Darren McFadden a year ago. It's time to go for the upside sleepers.
If you missed Rounds 1 through 3, click here. If you missed Rounds 4 through 6, here's your link.
1. BenJarvus Green-Ellis
2. Roy Helu
3. Austin Collie
4. Felix Jones
5. Ryan Grant
6. A.J. Green
7. Fred Jackson
8. Mario Manningham
9. Jordy Nelson (my pick)
10. Josh Freeman
11. Johnny Knox
12. Sam Bradford
NOTES: I really like the wideout picks here and I don't see much upside with the running back picks. At this point, all the RBs with high ceilings are gone. Green-Ellis, Helu, Jones, Grant, Jackson will all be in committees. Their teams don't view them as workhorses. Can they help you? Yes. Can they have monster seasons? Almost certainly not. … On the other hand, Collie, Manningham and Nelson can all have HUGE seasons. If not for the concussions, Collie would be a third or fourth rounder. Manningham is going to step into a major role with Steve Smith walking. And Jordy Nelson is going to pass Donald Driver on the Packers' depth chart. Again, a recurring theme with me — reach for upside, not for guys you hope will replicate last year's stats.
1. Joseph Addai
2. Santana Moss
3. Donald Brown
4. Robert Meachem (my pick)
5. Mike Thomas
6. Marshawn Lynch
7. James Starks
8. Zach Miller
9. Mike Williams (SEA)
10. Beanie Wells
11. Braylon Edwards
12. Malcom Floyd
NOTES: I took running backs with my first three picks. So I'm loading up on wideouts now that I think have a chance to break out. With Marques Colston breaking down and Lance Moore a free ageny, Meachem is on the verge of breaking out. … I like the Beanie Wells value here. Yeah, it looks really bad for him after the Cardinals drafting Ryan Williams. But Beanie is still mega-talented. He'll get a chance to turn his career around. … If you wait on a tight end, Zach Miller is a nice one to grab here. … I'm avoiding the Indy backfield, but I don't see Donald Brown getting much of a chance. The Colts trust Addai.
1. Ben Roethlisberger
2. Rob Gronkowski
3. Mikel Leshoure
4. Brandon Jacobs
5. Delone Carter
6. Marcedes Lewis
7. Davone Bess
8. Ryan Williams
9. Jared Cook (my pick)
10. Jerome Simpson
11. C.J. Spiller
12. Ryan Torain
NOTES: Jared Cook is my favorite deep sleeper tight end. I probably could have waited longer — you could likely get him in Round 12 or 13. … I like the Brandon Jacobs pick here. The dude is fresh and ready to go — especially if Ahmad Bradshaw walks in free agency. … Jerome Simpson is going to start for the Bengals and is worth a shot. … Ryan Torain is going to enter camp as the Redskins' starter but I'm not too excited here. Still, in the ninth round it's solid value. … Marcedes Lewis won't catch 10 touchdowns again but he can play. Fine bottom tier starter.

Seek forgiveness from Allah subhana WA taala. Also actions speak louder than words meaning do all you can to be a good practicing Muslim, make your home halal, stick to your prayers read ,recite and hear Qur'an. Apply all what you know and learn to your life. Nchallah this helps and our brothers and sisters will also have some advice.
