An Auckland man who committed a home invasion and later tried to pull a gun on police has been jailed for almost nine years.
Alex Tereora, 32, appeared for sentence in the High Court in Auckland today after he pleaded guilty to aggravated robbery, assault with a weapon and attempting to use a firearm against a police officer.
Justice Geoffrey Venning said Tereora and two unknown accomplices wearing balaclavas and fingerless gloves smashed a lounge window of a Papatoetoe house at 6.30pm on June 3, 2012.
When the homeowner arrived home he was dragged from his car and tied up, facedown in his lounge.
He was threatened and asked where the man kept his money and his gold.
The offenders stole the man's wallet, cellphone and car keys and left with property valued at about $3500.
Five days later, Tereora arrived at the home of a woman he had bought a laptop off some years earlier.
He pointed a pistol at her but left after she started screaming.
Six days later, Tereora was the passenger in a car stopped by police on Te Irirangi Drive, South Auckland. Tereora pushed the driver out of the car and tried to drive off.
A police officer dove into the car and fought with Tereora as he tried to pull a gun from his jacket, saying to police "you're going to get it, you're going to get it".
Police managed to get Tereora out of the car and the pistol fell out of his jacket as he was handcuffed.
Justice Venning sentenced him to eight years and 10 months in prison with a five year non-parole period.

Minnesota to Face North Dakota
Nov. 8, 2013 Social Media @Gophers_Swim Meet Coverage http://www.undsports.com/SportSelect.dbml?&DB_OEM_ID=13500&SPID=6398&SPSID=58636 When Saturday, November 9, 2013 12:00 p.m. CT Where Grand Fork, N.D. (Hyslop Sports Center)
After two conference duals in a row, the Golden Gophers take a break from the Big Ten to compete against the University of North Dakota. Hosted by North Dakota, Minnesota is set to conclude its mini three-meet series on the road. Last Competition Minnesota will enter the North Dakota dual with a 3-1 overall season record. Last weekend in Iowa City, Iowa, the Gophers defeated the University of Iowa Hawkeyes. The 174-126 win earned the Gophers their second victory in a row and pushed them to be undefeated in Big Ten competition. No Change in Ranks For the second poll period in a row, The University of Minnesota men's swimming and diving team was ranked No. 7 overall by the College Swimming Coaches Association of America (CSCAA). Minnesota is the second highest ranked Big Ten team in the CSCAA poll. The only team placed higher in the leader board in the University of Michigan who is currently No. 1.
The Minnesota-North Dakota rivalry is fairly new in swimming pool history as it only dates back to 1986. Since that very first match-up, the Gophers have only seen North Dakota in competition a total of seven times. However the Gophers hold a perfect record between the two schools and stand at 7-0. Last year, the 2012-13 season, was the last time the schools faced off against each other in a single dual competition; Minnesota won the dual with a score of 198-90. Previous to that the two schools had not seen one another since the 2005-06 season when in a two-day triple dual between Minnesota, North Dakota, and North Carolina the Gophers outscored North Dakota 151-32 and 262-85. Racking Up the Awards Helping his team secure a conference win over the University of Iowa, freshman Daryl Turner was awarded the Big Ten Freshman of the Week honor this past week. The accolade is the third Big Ten weekly award for the Colorado native as he has also won Swimmer of the Week (Oct.8) and Freshman of the Week (Oct. 22, Nov. 5). Top Times After three meets so far in the season, top times have risen from the men's team. As follows based on event:

Netanyahu and Obama in Washington . (photo credit:Amos Ben-Gershom/GPO)
"Americans who support Israel should take the president at his word," wrote Haim Saban recently in The New York Times, claiming US President Barack Obama is fully committed to the Jewish state.But is that true? Should we take him at his word?No, not when Israel confronts the threat of nuclear annihilation by Iran.Time and again President Obama has signaled a lack of sympathy—or even outright hostility - toward Israel. Not long ago he was caught on an open microphone agreeing with French President Sarkozy's slurring of the Israeli prime minister. And then there was his public snubbing of the Israeli leader's request to discuss Iran during a recent US visit, a measure Reuters termed "a highly unusual rebuff to a close ally."Even more worrying, last month former US State Department spokesman PJ Crowley, who attended several of Obama's meetings with Netanyahu, admitted "there are serious differences between our interests and Israel's own security interests."ALL THIS certainly raises questions about Obama's sincerity when he publicly says he'll "always have Israel's back."Nor are these the only times the president has left American voters wondering where he really stands on foreign relations.Remember, earlier this year, when he was inadvertently recorded asking former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev for "space" until his reelection, when he'd have more "flexibility" on missile defense? What did he mean? Obama was clearly not being forthright with the American people.What else hasn't he told us?Think about Obama's anti-Israel friends and mentors—radicals like Rashid Khalidi, Frank Marshall Davis, Jeremiah Wright, or the late Edward Said, the virulently anti-Israel professor under whom Obama studied. Has he made anti-Israel promises to them? Is Obama's campaign rhetoric in support of Israel only creating "space" till after the election?These questions cause genuine worry in Israel.Even some liberals now complain the president has lost so much Israeli trust that, in the words of Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic, "there is almost no chance of progress [for peace] if Obama wins re-election."Given that Obama's public expressions are not something Israelis can rely upon, we need to take seriously the question: What are his second term plans when he no longer needs the Jewish vote?Obama's supporters tell us there's nothing to worry about. He can be trusted, they say, because of his record of military aid to Israel and his support for sanctions against Iran.But the aid was committed in programs that began decades before his presidency under previous administrations. He cannot rightly take credit for this aid in the sense of initiating it, just as he cannot take credit for merely signing pro-Israel legislation that had bipartisan congressional support.Moreover, Obama's campaign never mentions that in the past few years his budgets have proposed significant cuts in US-Israel missile defense funds—from $121.7mil to $99.8mil, a substantial slash. And just ask Egypt's Hosni Mubarak or Poland's Lech Walesa about Obama's reliability because of past military aid.Even worse, the Iranian sanctions contain loopholes that, in the words of the Wall Street Journal, "you could drive a warhead through." All 20 of Iran's major trading partners enjoy sanction exemptions. They won't stop Iran's nuclear program.LET'S ALSO not forget, when Obama took office, he admitted his administration sought to put "daylight" between America and Israel. He lectured that the Jewish state needed "to engage in serious self-reflection" about peace—as if tiny Israel has not spent decades pursuing peace with its belligerent neighbors. And unbelievably, in his 2009 address to the Muslim world, he implied a moral equivalence between the Holocaust and Palestinian dislocation.With a second term the president won't have fears of electoral accountability and will act upon his true feelings toward Israel.This is worrying—especially at a time when the Jewish state as well as Americans sorely need a president whose words and policies they can rely on.Not since 1967 has Israel's safety been more precarious. Iran is now racing for a nuclear bomb while bragging they only need "24 hours and an excuse" to destroy the Jewish state. Egypt is lost to the Muslim Brotherhood. Hezbollah is armed to the teeth in Lebanon. Turkey's government is more foe than friend. The Gulf States use enormous petroleum wealth to fund global anti-Israel propaganda. The "Arab Spring" continues to usher extremists into power. And Hamas rules Gaza.All the while, the United Nations never misses a chance to denounce the Jewish state; Western universities support boycotts of Israel; and a sizable portion of the Democratic Party protests the inclusion of Jerusalem in their party platform. The White House press secretary, Jay Carney, can't even name Israel's capital.In these times of unrest and violence, it is necessary to elect a commander-in-chief whose words we can trust. Mitt Romney, to my mind, is a much safer choice. Unlike Obama, he not only understands Israel's predicament, he actually likes the country.To be sure, no one should argue that Jews must support Romney just because he is more reliable on Israel. But neither should they dismiss him because they don't agree with his every position. When the Jewish homeland is at stake, we must not let ourselves be fooled by Obama's oration skills. Nor can we afford to ignore his troubling track record on Israel.Those who support Obama are asking the rest of us to trust a president who has yet to recognize Israel's ancient capital, a promise he made in the last election.So keep in mind Obama's open microphone comments next time someone says you must take the president at his word. And ask yourself: Should we risk Israel's security on his campaign rhetoric?For Obama, the issue is only political; for Israel, it's existential—a matter of survival.The writer is an internationally renowned entrepreneur and philanthropist. He is the world's leading private donor to Jewish education, the Birthright Israel program, and Jerusalem's Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial.This op-ed was written exclusively for JNS.org.

Dallas seeks its sixth victory in seven games Sunday when it visits the fading Flames, who have lost five of six.
The Stars had lost four straight to Calgary and three in a row overall to slip to 11th place in the Western Conference - two spots behind the Flames - prior to their meeting in Dallas on Feb. 16. But Mike Ribeiro scored in overtime to give the Stars a 3-2 victory, sending the teams in opposite directions heading into this matchup.
A seven-point swing in the standings has Dallas (34-26-5) leading 11th-place Calgary (29-25-11) by four, with the Stars currently in playoff position. Dallas' win last month began a 6-1-2 stretch, while the Flames' defeat started a 2-3-3 slump.
The teams also will meet in a potentially crucial home-and-home series March 24 and 26.
Dallas is 5-0-1 in its last six af...

Anybody have a suggestion?....
I have a week to spend in southern germany--- so I'm spending a night in Oberwesel, a couple nights in Bacharach, then ***a day to spare!*** before spending a couple nights in Rothenburg and heading to Frankfurt to fly home.
Any favorite spots that might capture something I'm missing, near this area or easily accessible by train, in between?......I'll be there in April.
I was thinking of spending the extra day in Munich? ......but am open to suggestion!
1 free day in Germany: what to do in between Bacharach and Rothenburg?

There are far more knowledgable folks than me on this board, but on one trip we had planned to go to Wurzberg (sp?) on the way from Bacharach to Rothenberg. (We didn't make it due to a train malfunction, though).

Rent a bike and bike to st. Goat from Bacharach. Easy biking, scenic and st. Goar is cute.

Oberwesel and Bacharach are so close that moving is inconvenient.
Suggestion: since you'll be in the area for 3 nights, you might want to get a 3-day VRM railpass from a yellow/gray "Regio-ticket" machine, good for the Rhine from Oberwesel north to Rolandseck on both sides of the river and good for the Mosel between Koblenz and Bullay. It's for all regional trains and buses in the area and costs 34 Euros for 1, 40 Euros for 2-5 people. Staying in O'wesel, where this pass is valid, makes good sense. To visit Bacharach, south of O'wesel, add on a regular ticket for 2.10 Euros each way.
Extra day: From Rothenburg, you could daytrip either to Nuremberg or to Würzburg very easily. Each has some interesting stuff to see. A Bayern ticket (daypass good for all of Bavariato get there and back, in the single version, is 21 Euros, 29 for 2-5 people. -

For wine, Wurzburg - - Franconian wines are made from a variety of grapes and are earthy, spicy and distinctive. Wurzburg has classic baroque sites as well. For beer, Bamberg, with its unfiltered kellerbiers and smoky rauchbeers - - a world beer city, with great medieval character too.
Report Abuse
As I do, if you arrive by noon you may find 1 night is enough for Rothenburg and you could spend the other 2 nights in Heidelberg (or Munich)...

There's quite a low of VC/Wiiware games can be played with a Wiimote. Certainly ever NES title. Unsure about the others. I pressume you're stapped for cash?

If there is any band worth making the trip to Colorado Springs for, it's Against Me!. The band always carries this amazing energy and with (in my opinion) 2014's best album under their belts, Against Me! was not to be missed.

It was a great night of screaming and dancing along to some of my favorite ... Read More »

Children live in a world of ever-increasing stress factors, including global terrorism, pervasive exposure to violence, increasing substance use, and economic and social instability. To help them maneuver successfully through such a challenging world to adulthood, community-based resilience interventions are becoming more important than ever. Currently, resilience-based interventions are expanding to examine not only the internal strengths children and adolescents bring to a variety of situations, but also to explore how to leverage community and family resources in the context of a culturally diverse world.
Community Planning to Foster Resilience in Children reviews a variety of innovative approaches and actions that can be used at the community level to promote resilience in children and adolescents. Key themes throughout the book focus on how to:
Shift the paradigm from illness to strengths and health.
Assess and improve environments to minimize harmful influences and increase protection.
Adapt to and build on strengths of cultural and linguistic variation in an increasingly diverse society.
Move toward collaborative approaches that involve youth, families, schools, and community members who partner at all levels of program conception, implementation, evaluation, and improvement.
For researchers, clinicians, and students, Community Planning to Foster Resilience in Children will be an essential tool in their efforts to promote the health and success of youth.

DEFINITION of 'Tit For Tat'
A game-theory mechanism which is subject to a payoff matrix similar to that of a prisoner's dilemma. Tit for tat was introduced by Robert Axelrod, who developed a strategy where each participant in an iterated prisoner's dilemma will follow a course of action which is consistent with their opponent's previous turn. For example, if provoked, a player will subsequently respond with retaliation, but if they are not provoked, the player will subsequently cooperate.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Tit For Tat'
Tit-for-tat strategies are based on the concepts of retaliation and altruism. When faced with a prisoner's dilemma-like scenario, an individual will cooperate when the other member has an immediate history of cooperating and will default when the counterparty previously defaulted.
This concept is often applied to economics and biology.

Range Rover certainly didn't waste any time making their presence felt in the Roger Gooding Memorial Six-Goal Polo Tournament. Playing at Lion Castle Sunday evening, they blitzed Rugby 6-3 to start the season opening competition on a winning note. Range Rover were always in the ascendancy in the contest, with seasoned players Philip Tempro and Danny Atwell scoring early in the first chukka to give their side a 2-0 lead. Rugby's Wayne Archer pulled one back in the dying minutes of the opening period, but from there onwards, it was all one way traffic. Salvador Duggan and Jason O'Selmo both scored to extend the lead to three (4-1) in the second chukka, before both Duggan and Atwell practically sealed the deal with each scoring a goal. Lucas Nicolao and Archer would score two consolation goals for Rubgy in the fourth chukka, but the outcome was a forgone conclusion by then. Kicked There was a 15-minute stoppage in the final period when Martin Fuester was kicked in the chest by a horse in a freak accident. The Emergency Medical Team (EMT) quickly tended to Fuester as he laid on the ground grimacing in pain and gripping the left side of his chest. After a few minutes, they were able to load him into the ambulance and he was whisked away to the Sandy Crest Medical Centre. In the evening's second game, Mike Henderson's beaver-trick allowed Print On Demand Worldwide to defeat Apes Hill 6-2. Henderson opened the scoring in the first chukka, and added two goals in the second chukka and one in the fourth to help propel his team to victory. There were also goals for Andy Cork and Richard Gooding in the win. Pablo Crespin and Jamie Dickson both scored for Apes Hill in a losing cause. (RB)

A woman who says police harassed her into making a statement about the death of journalist Phillip Cottrell was concerned that her sister should not find out what she said, a jury has been told.
Detective Constable Olivia Gibson was giving evidence in the High Court at Wellington today about having taken a statement from Renee Robinson-Stepien in February this year.
Ms Gibson said Renee and Sylvanna Robinson-Stepien had been reluctant and scared when police spoke to them on February 1 but it was explained to them that someone had died and anything they could say could be helpful. They agreed to go to a police station to talk to police.
The sisters were arrested at the weekend after failing to appear as witnesses at the trial of their cousin, Manuel Renera Robinson, 18, and Sylvanna's boyfriend, Nicho Allan Waipuka, 20.
Robinson and Waipuka have pleaded not guilty of murdering Mr Cottrell, 43, a year ago today. Mr Cottrell was attacked walking home in the inner city at about 5.30am after a night shift at Radio New Zealand.
He died from head injuries the next day.
The Robinson-Stepien sisters criticised police and said they were harassed and forced to make statements and that some of what was recorded in the statements was not true. The statements included what Waipuka is alleged to have said to his girlfriend Sylvanna Robinson-Stepien and what she told her sister about it.
Renee Robinson-Stepien had not wanted her sister to find out what she told police, Ms Gibson said.
In court today Ms Robinson-Stepien said police had tried to break into her house by putting an arm through a cat door, but Ms Gibson said she looked through the cat door to see if she could see anyone inside but did not put her arm inside.
She said she could hear people inside but it took a while for anyone to answer the door.
Police had gone looking for them because they had failed to keep an earlier appointment to meet police.

Dow Chemical says Dan Loeb's breakup plan would hurt its value
Related links
Dow Chemical Co., facing pressure from Dan Loeb's Third Point LLC to split itself in two, said an internal strategic review concluded that such a move would reduce the value of the largest U.S. chemical company.
The review by the board, management team and external advisers found that creating separate petrochemical and specialty chemical businesses would negatively affect Dow's "value proposition," the Midland-based company said Tuesday in a regulatory filing. A breakup also wouldn't improve productivity or capital allocation, Dow said.
Third Point, an activist investor founded by Loeb, said in a Jan. 21 letter that Dow is its top holding and could add billions of dollars to earnings by spinning off commodity chemicals and plastics. Dow Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Andrew Liveris defended his strategy of integrating commodity chemicals with specialty products during a Jan. 29 conference call.
"Dow believes that specific actions it has taken to transform Dow from a commodity-based model into a vertically integrated science company focused on specialty materials, agriculture and specialty plastics is the right strategy to maximize value for all of our shareholders in the short and long term," the company said in the filing Tuesday.
Louise Adhikari, a Dow spokeswoman, declined to identify the company's advisers or disclose the methodology of its analysis.

Up in the wee hours and got 7 road miles in in the urban wilds. City running is scary- slippery sidewalks, vehicles, dog walkers, etc. Not very cool but you see, I have this work gig and it's limiting my trail usage. However I have discovered what may be some promising spots out in the driftless area of Western Wi. during my route driving. I do love exploring.
QOTD--see above. Not getting the miles on the trails like a used to so I don't have an answer. My wife just brought my skis home from our cabin so I just may start getting my trail fix around here on those skinny planks.

2014's fast food atrocities
Burger King's black cheeseburger: Made with squid ink and bamboo charcoal, arguably a symbol of meat's destructive effect on the planet. Only available in Japan.
Topics: Caitlin Flanagan, NPR, Life News
There is no way to deny that on NPR today, author Caitlin Flanagan tried to lecture me on how I might have had a "better" adolescence. (There is proof on the Internet, so I know I didn't hallucinate it.) Specifically, she tried to use me as an example of the perils of having the Internet in your room as an adolescent, because I didn't happen to meet a great guy to date in high school. The remedy? More princess movies.
Many people, including my actual parents, think I turned out pretty OK. And Flanagan, whose book "Girl Land" I reviewed here, usually restricts her professional vocation of annoying feminists to print. So what was I doing defending my very existence on the radio?
"Do you know about Quakers? They try to find the good in everyone, and I felt you tried to do that in Flanagan's book," the producer at NPR's "On Point" told me, as he tried to convince me to take part in the on-air discussion. (If you read my review, you'll see this says more about the laceration Flanagan received elsewhere than any unusual empathy on my part.) I told him I was reluctant to engage in something that could turn into a catfight, but was persuaded that the thoughtful tone of the show and its host would prevail. Ultimately, too, I didn't want to shy away from a fight that I thought was important.
My other worry was that Flanagan would use the first half-hour, which she had exclusively to herself, to moderate her message and preempt any criticism, leaving me to lamely disagree. Others had also seen her analysis as dangerously nostalgic, a fantasy of sheltering precious girls that seemed divorced from real girls' lives and totally ignored the lives of boys. Turns out I needn't have worried.
After all, this is a major component of what people pay her for: Trolling, plain and simple, a Michele Bachmann-esque disregard for facts, only better-read and better-written. What could possibly induce her to stop?
On the air, she went even further, by suggesting several times that women and girls are solely responsible for whether men treat them like princesses (as one caller said she suggested to her daughter while watching princess movies, which Flanagan cheered) or like sluts, and whether those men stick around to parent, too. When the host, Tom Ashbrook, politely accused her of setting up a false dichotomy between parents who cared about their daughters in the culture and those who didn't, she replied, "I think there are, you know, people who are very comfortable with their daughters being part of a culture where they're servicing boys and they're even comfortable with their girls performing oral sex on boys they don't know very well. There are a lot of moms like that and I accept that."
And then she turned on me. I had first taken issue with how she seemed to demonize boys or imply that they weren't hurt by gender norms. When I talked about the need for information about safe sexuality and healthy boundaries, she responded, "I think as far as information, what I'm seeing is that girls have lots and lots of information about sexuality. I can show you lots of eighth-grade girls who know how to roll on a condoms because they've learned that in school. And I think all of that may be fine for some girls, to send them out into this pornified culture with that information, probably best that they have it." Some girls, meaning those slutty girls who will never get a man to love them! In any case, when I called her out for that bizarre conflation of porn and sex ed, she got personal.
I'd pointed out earlier that I'd had the Internet in my bedroom as a teen, something Flanagan specifically wants parents to ban. I also described my adolescence not as the dreamy withdrawal she'd described, but as "a very fertile time where I was really lucky to have a supportive community that allowed me to pursue intellectual and creative pursuits."
Never mind those things. "Let me ask you a question, Irina," said Flanagan. (The host had already said my name, Irin, correctly.) "Did you have a boyfriend in high school?"
Then I made a mistake — I answered. "I dated some guys who were probably not great guys but I was lucky that nothing really bad …"
"What could we adults have done to you to help you with your dating relationships?" she persisted. We went to commercial before I could sputter a reply. (Nothing could have been done "to" me, and like I said, nothing really bad happened.)
Flanagan had the floor when we got back, at which point she used me as an example of a cautionary tale of how girls who are "empowered" and have Internet access allow themselves to be abused by men. Or something. "My book 'Girl Land' is asking, What could we have done differently for Irin, so that in addition to the IM and the Internet and the sex-ed classes, she also had something that would help her interact with boys where she could find a way that boys would treat her kindly?" Flanagan cooed.
Never mind that Flanagan writes in her book about a more traumatizing adolescent experience than I ever had, an assault that took place on a conventional date and without Internet in her bedroom and without "hookup culture." Was that her fault for not demanding more of men?
"Caitlin, I so much appreciate your concern for me," I replied, "but frankly, my adolescence was fine … I think that making mistakes is part of adolescence and how you figure out how to partner with people." I also said, "I don't think this should be about me, nor should it be about you. This is really about what's going on in the American culture." (I lost that battle.)
Ashbrook asked, sensibly, "Is that the measure of a good adolescence, whether they had a good boyfriend in high school?" It wasn't of mine — I said that for me the measure was that "I emerged feeling happy and connected and with healthy relationships, got into the college of my choice, have a career that I am happy about, where I get to debate Caitlin Flanagan about female sexuality."
I'd gone into said debate with the idea of maybe seeing the good in her, or at least seeking a thoughtful discussion of where we diverged and why. That's where I really went wrong.
