4 Very relaxing gamepixiepoison | 24/05/2007 | See all pixiepoison's reviews (7)Are you bored of games so difficult that they lie on your shelf unfinished? Are you bored of games so long that you had to quit your job just so you could see the end? If you answer yes to either of these questions, this is the game for you. It basically plays like a simple version of the Prince of Persia games, so you if you've played them and seen the new Turtles movie, you pretty much know what to expect.Refreshingly uncomplicated, this game is highly recommended.And just in case you're wondering what's so special about the limited edition - it comes in a metal slipcase with a sheet of stickers. Very nice slipcase and stickers, it should be said!
5 issalern's point of viewissalern | 01/10/2008 | See all issalern's reviews (4)Just one of those brilliant games like crash. 100 % satisfied.
5 A brilliant gamegamer47 | 07/03/2008 | See all gamer47's reviews (5)its so good i could play it so many times id die!!!! its brilliant game:perfect storyline and brilliant grafics an overall great game!
5 Deliciously addictiveSelz1977 | 06/01/2008 | See all Selz1977's reviews (1)I LOVE this game. What can I say? It wasn't enough to just complete the game first time around (and I'm not brilliant so it took me a good while to get the hang of it), I was utterly hooked at that point and can't stop re-playing the levels, trying to get better grades. I'm now wondering a) if there'll be another new Turtles game at some point in the future; and b) what other games are out there similar to this one? I'm hungry for more!

Seventeen runs wasn't enough to overtake the University of Central Oklahoma on Wednesday afternoon at Bill Smith Ballpark.
If you can't make it out to Wednesday's baseball game ¬— where the Drovers take on the University of Central Oklahoma — USAO has a solution for you.
It didn't take long for the Drovers to score several runs, setting the tone for the 18-8 win over Mid-America Christian on Friday afternoon.
The Drovers continued conference play on Friday afternoon, splitting in a double header against Southern Nazarene at home.
The Drovers pulled out one victory against No. 3 Oklahoma City this weekend.
After spending time behind the plate, Luke Krobath moved to first base this season when the Drovers got David Masters from Kansas State University.
Oklahoma City University will offer live video, audio and statistics from the match between the Stars and USAO, which begins at 6 p.m. Thursday.
After hitting four home runs against No. 14 Wayland Baptist this weekend, it's no wonder Conner Bridgman was named Sooner Athletic Conference Player of the Week.
Twelve runs later, the Drovers pull off the series win over No. 14 Wayland Baptist with a Saturday afternoon 12-8 win.
Junior Conner Bridgman hit three home runs in two games against No. 14 Wayland Baptist to lead the Drovers to a split against the Pioneers on Friday afternoon.

I've been using this product for years, and even with nightly use, a tube lasts a loooong time.
This is very moisturizing, but it's not oily or weird-tasting, like C.O. Bigelow's "My Favorite Lip Balm" was. I very much prefer this one.
As another reviewer noted, you'll be able to feel a bit of it the next morning, as testament to its longevity.
This is the best overnight lip product I've ever used! My lips are naturally extremely dry, and will crack and split the next day if I don't use anything overnight. This is the only product where I wake up and still have my lips feel nourished and moisturized when I wake up. It's definitely too thick for daytime wear, so it's perfect to fall asleep with. And it's not overly goopy either.
5This balm is, the bomb! I have been on the hunt for at least 3+ years since my then HG balm was discontinued. Although this says it's a night balm, I now use it all the time, day and night. A little goes a long way and to do major repair work, it's best to use before you go to bed - since you won't be talking, eating or drinking. I have a bad habit of peeling my lips and this does major repair work for me. Must stock up now!
5Ok, so.....let's be honest....$7.50 for a small lip balm?? Normally I wouldn't consider it...BUT...after reading some of these reviews AND knowing some people who have tried this...IT IS WORTH EVERY PENNY.
You only need a very very small amount and this does wonders. I literally leave it right by my bed and use a tiny bit at night and I wake up with soft and completely chapped-free lips. The scent isn't overpowering and the consistency is just right. Seems to stay on all night and doesn't wash away. Definitely planning on repurchasing!
I suffer from extra dry lips. I mean, to the point- where I have had to get a prescription for special chap-stick, because my lips break, crack and bleed all of the time, and especially when I use lip gloss, or lipstick. This by far has been the best stuff! I am able to use it- and it keeps my lips nice and soft.

Ford Aims To Cut Waste-to-Landfill 40 Percent Per Vehicle By 2016 Through New Five-Year Global Waste Reduction Plan
DEARBORN, Mich., Feb. 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
- Ford's new five-year global waste reduction strategy calls for a 40 percent per vehicle reduction in the amount of waste sent to landfill between 2011 and 2016 – equal to just 13.4 pounds per vehicle worldwide
- The new five-year global waste reduction strategy encompasses Ford's overall "Reduce, reuse and recycle" commitment that applies to all facets of the company, from the vehicles it makes to the facilities where they are made
- Plan builds on the success the company saw between 2007 and 2011, when the amount of waste sent to landfill per vehicle dropped from 37.9 to 22.7 pounds – a 40 percent reduction
Cutting waste-to-landfill at Ford's Van Dyke Transmission Plant has always been important to workers there, but they weren't satisfied until last fall, when a small, diligent local committee played a major role in solving a nagging 10-ton problem.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130227/DE67321-a )(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130227/DE67321-INFO-b )
The solution – a way to keep 10 tons' worth of 8-foot-long, 350-pound fabric coolant filters from being landfilled monthly – means the Van Dyke facility is Ford's first North American zero waste-to-landfill transmission plant and now diverts a total of 15 tons of waste-from-landfill monthly.
Moreover, the solution exemplifies how Ford already is making progress on plans to reduce the amount of waste-to-landfill from its facilities worldwide as outlined in the company's new five-year global waste reduction strategy. Under the plan, waste-to-landfill will drop to just 13.4 pounds – or by 40 percent – per vehicle by 2016. The comprehensive strategy covers all angles of Ford's waste reduction plans – from working with global suppliers to use more eco-friendly packaging, to enabling employees such as those at Van Dyke to play an active role in coming up with ways to help Ford reach its goals. Even kitchen waste is addressed.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

A firm deadline, accompanied by executive-level championing from the administrator, empowered staff members to take risks and fast-track processes
Casey Coleman is chief information officer at the General Services Administration.
One room. Sixty people. Eight hours.
Add in a commitment from all involved to come up with an action plan to solve some critical information technology modernization issues — and do it in a time frame that involves weeks, not months or years — and you've got a recipe for what we call a "slam." A slam can be rowdy, polite, colorful, busy, orderly, intense, fast and creative. However, they are all carefully designed and well facilitated, and they are designed to solve a problem that is best solved by working across an agency rather than up and down the agency.
GSA's Office of the Chief Information Officer was the first to use this revolutionary process under Administrator Martha Johnson's guidance. We needed to find a way forward to quickly update and modernize several IT systems. So the CIO office's staff came together with other key players at GSA to build coalitions, remove obstacles, gather buy-in and communicate the shared vision to the organization.
The modernization effort kicked off in April, and before the July 4 holiday, we had completed all our established goals. We installed Office 2007 on 14,000 workstations. Leading the employees to make the transition from Office 2003 was a challenge. But training opportunities and extensive agency communications provided agency employees with the tools to successfully make the transition. The slam enabled 90 percent of personnel to use their access cards to log in to their workstations. That upgrade attained our larger goal of eliminating multiple log-ins for enterprise applications.
In addition, the CIO office deployed 4,500 new voice-over-IP phones in our central office and regional offices. We exceeded the goal of deploying 3,000 phones by July 2. That unusually fast turnaround surpassed all initial goals. The office also fortified our virtual private network to five times the capacity we had before Snowmageddon in February. And finally, we upgraded our entire network to the latest technology.
Several key principles made those successes possible and can be used as tools for future projects.
The slam model is being replicated throughout GSA to deal with pressing, timely issues. Soon, what seemed experimental, risky and new will be part of everything we do.

The energetic and inclusive fast-track approach outlined by Ms. Coleman is indeed refreshing to hear. Make no mistake, however, that a forklift upgrade of a hard IT asset is anything like the modernization of legacy software applications. Ms. Coleman describes what is typically called a "technical refresh" (upgrading desktops, phones and other hard assets). This is decidedly different than "modernizing" legacy mission critical custom software. Tech refresh happens routinely every 2-4 years across numerous companies/agencies and is predictably managed. A phone is a phone is a phone - it is business process forward compatible - no change in user behavior required. Legacy software "modernization" does not have such frequency (12-25 years being a typical lifespan), has far fewer instances to draw experience from, and each one unique. With software modernization, organizations face a mass of poorly structured business critical operational, analytical, and historical data that must be carried forward, an army of users wed to mature tech and mature process, and decades-in-the-making, complicated program logic, written in languages no longer taught that must be unraveled and recoded. This not to minimize GSA's fast-track achievement, which undoubtedly saved substantial money and time, but we'd be well-served to use standard terminology -- lest someone get the mistaken idea that a few weeks or months is all that is needed to replace that 30 year mature software that runs the agency. Indeed, with the explosion in lightweight, user-friendly web2.0 tooling, the perception that mission critical software is "easy" is already too rampant.
Sean, thanks for the kind remarks. The roots of this success go back a few years, when GSA consolidated its infrastucture. Common services like helpdesk, email, local support, device management, etc., were consolidated from 39 contracts to one. With that kind of big change, we thought it was important to visit all the customers (about 20 town hall meetings) to see how the change affected them and how we could improve. As a result of the customer comments and some focus group studies, we put together the modernization plan, focusing on the most impactful stuff first. I don't know that there is anything remarkable in all that, but I do highly recommend listening to customers and building a plan with them and their input. Support from the boss helps, too. :)
Thanks for sharing your success story. You obviously have the talent and drive to make things happen at GSA. One important point you glossed over is that you had a clear plan for modernization before attempting to implement (VOIP phones, access cards and Office upgrade). Often CIOs have a vision, but no clear plan to make their vision a reality. Perhaps you have some advice on creating a roadmap and prioritizing initiatives for modernizing the infrastructure. Many readers could gain from that knowledge as well.

Daytrip Leo Boot Stretch Jean 8 8
love them! I love that these are low rise zip! They were definitely way too long for me so I am just going to take them to my local buckle store and get them hem. Other than that I love them! They are as comfortable as my sweat pants! February 6, 2015
Love them! They fit great! I'm glad they fit the same as my other pair of daytrip leo boot jeans. I tired a different wash in store of the daytrip Leo boot jeans and they didn't fit the same as these. January 13, 2015
Going back for seconds!! I bought these a few months ago and I love them so much I'm ordering my second pair before they're gone! They are SO comfortable, easy to dress up and dress down. I'm 6'3" so I require as much of the 37" inseam they give and they're perfect. Finally a brand that fits right and doesnt break my bank account, even though i'll always be in love with Big Star. August 13, 2014
Super long good fit I love these jeans! I can wear wedges with them...I'm six feet tall and these fit perfectly. Love love love these jeans. Yay for the 37" inseam! July 9, 2014
Great fit Without trying the jeans on and buying them online, the jeans fit great and I love the wash on them! March 28, 2014
XXL is really long I have really long legs so I thought I'd needed these in XXL, I did not with this brand. I am not a big fan of boot cut, which these are very and maybe being so long with the boot cut is where I am not liking them. They do fit very well everywhere else. I think after wearing for a little while they seem a little bigger, there is just 2% spandex, but it seems to make a differnece after awhile. I do recommend these, just beward how long you really want them. January 21, 2014
Solid Pair of Jeans Had to order these jeans three times because I couldn't find a good fit. I'm 5'8" 130 lbs and the 28" waist, 35" inseam worked pretty well. Still long but I like folding the bottom of my jeans up. Overall great pair of jeans to own. December 8, 2013
Fabulous! Fit great, and the waistband stretches just a little so it's really comfortable. Great length, and aaahhhh so comfortable. November 6, 2013

This question is more general, but how can you figure out replacement bulb sizes if a used car comes with and HID conversion kit? I'm actually trying to replace a low-beam bulb in my Mazda 3 hatchback and found out that the previous owner put an HID conversion kit in there.
I've done a bunch of research, but I'm not sure how to match the replacement bulb(s) with the kit I have, because there aren't any real distinguishing markings on the bulb or ballast assembly.
From what I can tell (with extremely un-educated background), all I need to do is get a standard HID replacement bulb that fits a "H7" bulb. Most seem to be fairly standard and mine would be either a 6k or 8k color and probably a 35W rating. Is that right, or do I have to find the exact manufacturer to really plug and play the replacement?
Any help would be much appreciated! I'm lost, confused, scared, and getting the car ready to sell (now that I bought my Tacoma!).

This is my dream record player! Isn't it amazingly unique? I'm always a fan of how wood looks against clean, white walls. This is definitely a record player that needs to be displayed front and center.
Since I probably won't be able to afford a wood slice record player, this would be my second choice. It's clean, classic and modern at the same time. What a beauty.
Are you frequently on the go or just looking for a portable boost in sound from your iPhone, iPod or iPad? This is the perfect solution — small, attractive, practical and colorful.
Ah! A set of dream music transmitters. These speakers are perfection in my opinion. They feed my white and wood obsession, and I've heard the quality of sound that they produce — amazing! I think these belong in my studio.
Adorn your ears with gold. These beautiful headphones are definite head turners. I love the pop of gold with black. They'd be perfect to use with your laptop around the house.
This is a beautiful iPod and iPhone audio station with radio too. Such a cool and calming color — I imagine it right at home in my kitchen.
I thought this was an actual CD or record player at first. This funky wall art would be perfect for any music lover. I'd hang this among the record sleeves currently gracing my walls.
This is a sound system that I'd love to have in our family room. I love playing my favorite tunes or using Pandora whenever I hang with the husband or have guests over.
See what I'm talking about when I say there are so many attractive music players out there? This is another one of them. Made by Crosley, the rich mahogany is bound to set the mood for any candlelit night. I'll take one for my dining room, please!
I had to look into this product before realizing it was a rechargeable USB card speaker. As a laptop user who sometimes wants more sound, this is perfect. Plus, it's the size of a credit card!
I've heard these are the most comfortable ear buds ever. These buds are practical and pretty — always a must in my book. They also have in-ear passive noise cancellation that blocks 90 percent of surrounding sound. Great for laptop users or using at your desktop for sound privacy.
I love this affordable record player stand — perfect for your music device of choice and your favorite vinyls. I would place this by the side of my couch and hang a cool light over it.
Get out! I've never seen anything like this laptop dock. Noted for its gorgeous sound and practicality, it can be used as a desk while listening to your favorite tunes. It's true, it's as beautiful to look at as it is to listen to. A studio gem for sure!
I think this would look great in a modern bathroom. Start a bubble bath and throw on some jazz.
I love the clean look of these speakers. They'd go perfect with a simple white or wood-slice record player.
This is a definite bookshelf piece. It's such a pretty throwback! Listen to tunes in style.
I would be happy if this attractive radio graced my shelves as a display piece, but to know it is functional makes it even more awesome. Can't you imagine this on your bookshelf?
Headphone splitters are necessary to spread musical wealth while at home or on the go. This is the coolest one I've seen by far.
I've had my eye on this since the day it came out. It probably isn't the highest quality, but I love that it can be moved from room to room or even brought to a picnic!
I'd love to have a Vers audio system in my studio. I love the clean design and, of course, the wood.

The Tower Panorama
Submitted by Jürgen Eidt on Sat, 2013-06-01 06:06.Unlike a classic 360°x180° panorama, a tower panorama is not taken from a single center point.
Imagine yourself on a tower with a viewing platform. You can walk around, but usually you cannot position yourself in the center.
The way to create a 360° tower panorama is to take multiple segments from each side. Using a fisheye to cover the entire side is not an advantage here. Taking multiple segments is better to allow for more correction of the parallax error.

Panotools Projections
Submitted by Jürgen Eidt on Fri, 2013-01-04 06:28.The most common Panotools projections are Equirectangular to make interactive 360x180 panoramas and Rectilinear to fix distortions of photos. But what about the others?
With a small Field of View (FoV) the difference isn't that obvious, but with a large Field of View things change quite a bit.
Imagine yourself standing in front of a large object and try to take a photo. Using a wide angle lens will get you visible distortions once you go above 50 degrees (100 degrees FoV) because of the Rectilinear projection.
Here is where the other projections come into place to map large Field of View objects to a print.

Contact Sports Desk: Call: 603-516-2949 / E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com Carp delivers in pinch for Sox
Thursday, August 29, 2013
BOSTON — Pinch hitter Mike Carp's bloop single to left in the eighth inning dropped just beyond the glove of Baltimore third baseman Manny Machado, scoring Jarrod Saltalamacchia from second base with the tiebreaking run and lifting the Boston Red Sox to a 4-3 win over the Orioles on Wednesday night.
Ellsbury left the game for a defensive replacement in the top of the eighth. During his seventh inning at-bat, he fouled a ball off his right foot.
NOTES: Orioles DH Wilson Betemit made his first start of the season after being sidelined since late March with a sprained right knee ligament and went 0 for 3. ... Ellsbury stole two bases, leaving him one short of 50 for the third time in his career. ... Boston manager John Farrell said RHP Clay Buchholz, on the DL since early June with a strained neck, will make his second rehab start Friday, pitching for Triple-A Pawtucket, and his third start "could be" in the majors. ... The Orioles recalled touted prospect Kevin Gausman from Triple-A Norfolk before the game and optioned left-hander Wei-Yin Chen to their Gulf Coast League affiliate. Manager Buck Showalter said "service time" allowed the club to send Chen to Sarasota, Fla. He's scheduled to make his next start Sunday at New York against the Yankees. "Initially, I think he was thinking because he had a bad start last night that we were sending him to the Gulf Coast League," Showalter said. "That wasn't the case at all. His service time allowed us to send him there. He understands." ... The umpires who worked the game — Marvin Hudson, Wally Bell, Tim McClelland and Marty Foster — visited Boston's Children's Hospital earlier in the day as part of the UMPS CARE Charities. ... RHP Chris Tillman (14-4, 3.66 ERA) goes in the series finale against Boston LHP Jon Lester (12-7, 3.97 ERA). ... Family members of MIT Police officer Sean Collier, who was allegedly killed by the Boston Marathon bombers, threw out ceremonial first pitches.

Nigerians in America
Governor Lucky Igbinedion of Edo State frequently visits America and Europe and it has been speculated that his visits, usually, coincides with the schedule and time-table of federal allocations of revenue to Edo State; Edo state it must be said, is one of the oil producing states in Nigeria that has jointly, with other such states clamored for increases in the revenues allocated to oil producing states based on the principle of derivation.This, even though the governors of the oil producing states have not actually accounted for the monies received so far from the federal government of Nigeria, based on the derivation principle, it is clear that these governors have not utilized these monies for the benefits of citizens of these oil producing states! But those gyrating in their prodigal son-like demands for 100% control of oil revenue, would not bother to demand accountability, on the part of the thieving governors of these oil producing states!Recently, Governor Igbinedion sent Commissioner Kingsley Osadolor, the man in charge of information and orientation in Edo state, on an impossible mission and task, to convince Edo sons and Daughters in the Americas, United States and Canada that the Edo state government is doing its best, even though we are all aware that the Edo state governor has performed woefully, displaying stunning ineptitude and stunning incompetence and astounding failures in Edo state!Governor Igbinedion tried, through the speech by Commissioner Osadolor, to blame armed robbery and high rate of crime on citizens of other states, or on the fact that the police is not controlled by Edo state! Instead of focusing on the corruption and deprivation that he has presided over or supervised in the state since 1999! He orchestrated feeble defense of his failures after feeble defense! He blamed bad roads and traffic jams on the federal government and blamed prostitution and child-trafficking on rumors and gossip? He would not take blame for anything! Not his failure to create jobs or coordinate crime fighting? After all, Edo state is a PDP state and one would assume that Mr. Igbinedion has unfettered access to the PDP hierarchy and access to the presidency?Governor Igbinedion blames everybody, every circumstances on others, but himself, his incompetence, his high rate of ineptitude and complete disconnect from the people of Edo state. And with a bold face, he talks about the dignity of Edo people! How do you give people dignity, in the face of high rate of armed robberies? How do you talk of giving dignity when the people are hobbled by all manners of indignities, unemployment, high rate of crime, decayed and abandoned public infrastructures, impassable and un-motorable roads, particularly in Benin City, house-to-house-ransacking by chieftains of brigandage? In recent times, His Royal Majesty, Omo N'Oba N Edo Uku Akpolokpolo has had to make passionate appeal in Edo state, to decry the high rate of crime and criminality that has overwhelmed Edo state while Governor Igbinedion sleeps at the wheels!How can the Governor talk about dignity of the Edo man, when Edo men, out of unending hardships, sufferings and economically induced desperation herded their daughters and their wives to prostitution in Italy, France and other parts of Europe? How can this young but failed governor, expatriate ex-America and all, who has acted as if he is bereft of all and any ideas of governance, lecture the rest of us about dignity? What dignity for Edo man are you talking about Mr. Governor?Mr. Lucky Igbinedion lectured Nigerians of Edo state origin in the United States, about what he described as the 'Dignity of Edo man' upon broaching the title of his lecture, I was completely aghast at the clear irony of the governor's chosen lecture topic!Here is a man, who is singularly responsible for depriving the Edo citizens of dignity more than anyone alive or dead, and he, without any qualms, actually was there, live and in person, lecturing about dignity for Edo citizens!
ive irony?In the face of governor Igbinedion's most ignominious governance, he aspire to be anything, other than a dog-catcher, come 2007? Or dictate who becomes the governor of Edo state when he leaves? Why has good and decent people of Edo state, a formerly progressive state, a model state of proud people, a people of high education and high culture, sports excellence and all that is superb in Nigeria, why has Edo state been allowed to bleed and be bled by nitwits, grossly incompetent persons, who are putridly corrupt?

We were warriors, but not war mongers. we have reduced ourselves to simple men, we must regain ourselves and Lucky(Gov) to the era of 1896 with 2007 civilizations and educations. Having lots of certificates (a to z awards or earned) is not enough. We Need to act on these Problems….How???…

lucky igbinedion the governor of Edo state should open his eyes and see the shame in his state. It's awful to us as the Edos
Hi Paul,
Bravo! for the candour with which you wrote this article!
And also that you mentioned investment by Edo State Government officials in South Africa.
Is (EFCC) not yet aware that Lucky Igbinedion has used Edo State people's money to build a Refinery for himself in South Africa
Or is this office (EFCC) waiting till he leaves office before he can be prosecuted
—Zurich, Switzerland.
as an edo woman, i have to say you spoke my mind
i am happy to have gone through this article,really the lucky is bad
it is indeed a realistic insight to the situation on ground devoid of any and all cover ups thanks my broda let the truth be told straight up.
Why has Asia boomed in recent decades while Africa has sunk into penury
The pithiest answer is a joke I first heard in Nigeria. An African and an Asian make friends at Oxford before becoming politicians.
Years later the African visits the Asian and is impressed by his mansion with a Mercedes-Benz in the drive.
"How can you afford this" he asks. The Asian points to a majestic highway outside. "See that road" he says with a wink. "Ten per cent."
Later the Asian visits the African's home – a palace with a dozen Mercedes-Benzes.
Anticipating the question the African says: "See that road" The Asian sees only bush. "100 per cent."
EFCC: How Governors Steal Public Funds
… To beam searchlight on S/Africa
From Kunle Aderinokun in Abuja 09.26.2005 Thisday
Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Mallam Nuhu Ribadu has given an insight into how some state governors steal public funds saying such governors not only buy into companies in their names or through proxies they manipulate the asset declaration form by filling what they intend to steal on assuming office.
Addressing the closing ceremony of the African Regional Capital Market Training programme in Abuja weekend Ribadu said state governors who are virtually in control of 50 per cent of the nation's economy have diverted public funds into private businesses.
Represented by Acting Director Nigeria Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) of EFCC Mr. Dapo Okauru Ribadu said some governors have bought into many companies in their names and sometimes through proxies at the expense of the people they govern.
He said that asset declaration the only way to hold accountable public officials who launder money has not been of much help as many of the governors have devised means of outwitting the Code of Conduct Bureau the body legally empowered to check the assets of public officials.
According to him corrupt public officials while filling the asset declaration form usually include in advance assets they planned to acquire with stolen public funds on assuming office.
He pointed out that the arrest of some Nigerian governors abroad was not by accident but through the interconnectivity of FIUs across the globe which has made it possible for money launderers to be arrested anywhere in the world.
Bayelsa Governor DSP Alamieyeseigha was two weeks ago arrested in London on alleged money laundering offences and his passport impounded.
Last year Plateau State Governor Joshua Dariye was also arrested by the London Metropolitan Police on money laundering charges. He escaped bail.
Lamenting that Nigeria was so rich but the officials in charge of resources were the ones not using the funds to better the lot of the people Ribadu said Whenever you see that some roads are not tarred or some schools are not built it's because of the private jets or the new houses the governor bought.
According to him the country is very rich. But a few people that have access to public funds have made it impossible for the wealth to be judiciously utilised.When you see roads not tarred and you find people buying jets the jets were purchased because the roads were not tarred. Somebody bought shares for all his family members cousins and others. That person might have immunity but the law will eventually catch up with him.
When you talk of unemployment you have to relate it to money laundering. The financial sector has a lot to do in the war against financial crimes and money laundering.
He said the Commission will beam its searchlight on South Africa with a view to fishing out corrupt public officials and private individuals engaged in money laundering.
He said the focus on South Africa became necessary owing to huge business transactions between Nigerians and South Africans.
Ribadu said since the return to democracy there has been a lot of business transactions between Nigerians and South Africans. He said that such business activities have to be closely watched now given the opportunities they could provide for money laundering.
Huge funds he pointed out were being moved by the nationals of the two countries through financial institutions adding that the Unit has been vested with the responsibility of scrutinizing foreign transactions.
According to him "we are looking at South Africa closely now. There is a lot of transaction going on in South Africa by our people and a lot of South African businesses are coming into our country too. We need to look at all these economic activities because it could be an avenue for money laundering."
He said that the NFIU had received a total of 1299 suspicious transaction reports (STRs) and 1.389 million currency transaction reports (CTRs) at the end of July this year. The Unit in the first quarter he added had received a total of 328 suspicious transaction reports (STRs) and 481403 currency transaction reports (CTRs).
He said banks that have not been sending suspicious reports risked being penalized. Noting that you become liable if on your part you refuse to report to us he however did not specify the kind of sanctions that would be applied to such erring banks.
"We have criminalized money laundering. Punishment for offenders range from two to five years. We want to be able to operate a less cash economy he said.
According to him banks have to be in a position to be able to profile their customers. If we find any bank that fails to submit suspicious transaction report and currency transaction report we would sanction the bank. The NFIU examines the suspicious transaction report and currency transaction report submitted by banks and analyse them. As soon as customers deposit funds suspected to be laundered money we expect them to submit the reports. Banks become liable on their part if they refuse to submit the STR and CTR.
The NFIU he said has access to every transaction above N1 million and N5 million done by individual and corporate bodies respectively.
He noted that the Unit has a very good relationship with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and has been getting reports from it.
He however lamented that due to the large amount of reports the NFIU received from banks it was extremely challenging to undertake thorough CTR analysis.
Given this scenario he said the Unit has been piloting various initiatives designed with a view to automating the process.
Ribadu said that since returning from the last plenary of the Egmont Group we have rendered assistance to a number of other FIUs around the world who have requested information for further investigations.
According to him specifically we have received nine requests for information from five jurisdictions and one international organization. We have made a couple of requests for information to some oversea FIUs. All the stakeholders law enforcement agencies regulatory/supervisory bodies and in fact other FIUs are increasingly becoming aware of the role of the NFIU as a source of valuable intelligence and good analytical reports.
He said looking forward the NFIUs objective is to implement an internationally acceptable anti-money laundering (AML) regime in the country. This he said has become imperative as the Commission prepares for the Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering (FATF) review team which is due in the country soon. Presently he said Nigeria is the only country on the FATF black list.
Your comment was:
There is a correllation between poverty and whether you become a prostitute or an armed robber….
Most female lawyers and doctors and their daughters from Nigeria would hardly become prostitutes any where in the world…. Do you know why
I have no second thoughts about my article regarding Governor Igbinedion!
Paul I. Adujie New York United States
Most Nigerian male lawyers and doctors would never become bank robbers or engage in such underclass crimes do you know why I am not by a long short saying or suggesting that all Nigerian lawyers are by any means holy saints! But economic prosperity has a lot to do with WHERE we all are in our lives at home and abroad.
Do you also notice that you will not find any children of Babangida driving cabs in New York Amsterdam or in Brussels The children of Nigerians who are millionaires whether by hook or crook never live in forced exile like most of us… they remain in Nigeria travel overseas with visas that is always easy for the rich unlike the rest of Nigerians…
My point is that… economic desperation is what drives prostitution and child trafficking in Edo state…. any responsible governor local leader must address economic desperations that push ordinarily good people to engage in breaking old abominations and taboos… Yes Tinubu and Kalu should look into why people forge foreign passports and visas….. it is because the Nigerian economy is comatose…. Nigerians in droves and throngs want to leave Nigeria the embassies refuse…. and criminals improvise!
There is correllation between poverty and crime…. especially underclass crimes like prostitution…. if you are waiting for an Igbinedion Abacha or Babangida's daughters as prostitutes…. You will have to wait a millenium….. OK several hundred years at the very least!
My dear Paul
Youre one of the Internet writers after my heart! Im even beginning to prefer you to my very good friend Femi Olawole (Femi make you no vex abeg!)
Your reference to Kingsley Osadolo could only evoke a lot of laughter in me. It was only two days ago and in the company of Femi and other friends that I brought up the dilemma of guys like Osadolo Dr. (now professor) G.G. Darah who as columnists would not let us rest with their holier-than-thou articles of those days of Military reigns.
Just because of the few members of the military ruling class these guys created the impression that every Military officer was an illiterate incompetent and corrupt.
And I remember one particular time when Femi wrote an article in which he specifically hoped and prayed that one day Darah Osadolo etc would get into public offices and we would see what fantastic roles they would play! He sent the article directly to Darah in his capacity as the Guardian editorial board chairman and telling him to just read and pass it among his colleagues. Incidentally Darah published it!
And as fate would have it the same Darah is now a commissioner in Delta State Osadolo is a commissioner in Edo while some other all-knowing saintly columnists" are also holding some public appointments. But so far what have they achieved thats better than those they made a career of abusing in those days..
As we used to say in the glorious days of 1960/70s Lagos Darah and his ilk have neither passed nor failed yet they remain in one class! They are just glorified office men! And as for Osadolo he is busy junketing about to tell some white lies on behalf of his Edo State boss..its a shame!
But Paul no vex oh! I must disagree with you on one issue! In all fairness you cant blame Gov. Igbinedion for the choice of some of his people to resort to international prostitution! Its a silly excuse for any one to go so low in life for the sake of money! Its like blaming Gov. Kalu (even though I cant stand him) for the resolve of some of my people to engage in producing and selling fake pharmaceutical drugs. Or would you blame Gov. Tinubu for the decision of some Yoruba to operate the Oluwole wuruwuru industry.. Lets call a spade a spade! What would happen if all of us had resorted to some criminal enterprise under the pretext of country hard Please!
Dear paul!
Thanks for this passionate write-up. I got to know this website some three mouths ago. Since then many subjects have been discussed. Ranging from the ex IG to governor kalu of Abia state. And from Marwa to the VP. Mr Atiku.
Through this period nothing has been said about Mr Lucky Igbenadion and his administration.
Like you rightly explained lucky has been in politics for some time now. He was an excellent chairman of the Oredo local government council. Contested for governorship during the General Abraham Babangida administration. It was during the campaign that his father insulted the Oba of Benin. And later apologies after he lucky lost the race to the then Governor Oyegun.
I am one of many Edo indigents that campaigned For him. Looking at his records as administrator of the Oredo local council.
Besides he obtained his masters degree in the United States. I was of the belief hence he had lived in the first World he most have some good intentions to improve the state to a higher living standard. Instead he allowed himself to be influenced by Igbinadion senior
Its unfortunate that instead of proving himself a great leader he is busy siphoning our revenue into his fathers various account around the world.
We lent he has an oil refinery in south Africa while almost 90 of the youth in Edo state are unemployed.
Yesterday we had a meeting to discuss the repatriation of a girl that was stabbed to death in the street where she works as prostitute. Paul you need to see how this girls work themselves up come rain or sunshine so that their parents can have three-squire mill. Many lost their lifes for not taking care of themselves. Sex business is very profiting but these girls rather prefer to send money home and starve themselves up. The girl that lost her life is what the Americans refer as collateral damege. Lucky was here to encourage the retune of some of this girls to Nigeria. But he was not able to inform of what Job they should expect when retuned to Benin.
According to report he had connived with the Italian authority to deport many girls home. I do not support the work they do; nether do i wish that they go back and become armed robbers. It is posible that most of the robbers are persons retuned from Europe or America in their desperate effect to retune to the confortable life known here they are becoming problems to innocent citizen.
It is true that we dont have any important industrial activity in Benin and the only revenue the Edo state enjoys is the alocations from the federal government. The revenue from the road transport workers goes to his friend bonboy.
the western union report of February is that more than 130million euro was transfer from Spain to Benin City only last year. Where is all this money If the government is intelligent he will ask the banks to contribute part of their gains to the state development programs. Improve the rood networks and the housing programes.
This to me is another way of contributing to the economy of the state. But when you get to Benin City there will be no indications that such money ever passed through the banks in Benin. the government of Edo state should benefit from all this transfers
Report reaching us is that his wife is among the mafias that promote sex slavery through sponsorships of these girls to work in the very harsh winter weather barely necked in the street.
The ONG i presides here has been working with both local and regional government in Spain to put up programes to help this girls find another way of life legalise their administrative situation put up free legal services for anyone that is willing to put up business and social residents For short period of about six to nine mouths before they can settle for something new.
My surprise is that more than 95 of immigrants here in Spain are from Benin. The same is in Holland Belgium Italy etc…etc…. Realising that Edo state has just two million inhabitant in a country of about a hundred and fifty million people. What is the problem with that state And why is lucky not concerned about this trend.
I am convinced that if there is a free elections in Nigeria lucky will not win again because people are feed up with his administration.
But what better alternatives do we have.

The Norfolk Panthers got out to a big lead in the second quarter against North Platte and they never looked back to win 73-47 at the Dawg House.
"I just felt like we never found the right tempo," NPHS coach Matt Kaminski said. "We missed a lot of shots and we had a lot of self-destructing mistakes that you can't make against a quality team."
Norfolk (12-1) led 15-12 at the end of the first quarter. But freshman Logan Strom made a three-pointer to give the Panthers some cushion and they were off to the races.
The lead became double digits at 24-13 halfway through the second quarter after a three by Tyler Hagedorn that followed a basket by Taylor Reedy.
With the momentum, Norfolk cruised. They led 37-21 at halftime and 52-31 at the end of the third quarter.
North Platte (7-6) with Drew Callaghan, who had a game-high 24 points, and little else just could not keep up.
"Norfolk's a quality team with a lot of good players," Kaminski said. "We competed hard. But we didn't play well when we got behind."

Pennsylvania's Rendell Working to Avoid Bankruptcy Filing by Harrisburg
Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell said he opposes a bankruptcy filing by the state's capital city, Harrisburg, which has told bondholders it cannot make $3.3 million in general-obligation bond payments due Sept. 15.
Rendell, 66, a Democrat whose term ends in January, said his administration is working with the city to pay for a financial adviser. Pennsylvania, the sixth most-populous U.S. state, has no authority to make the debt-service payment, which is scheduled to be covered by its insurer, Ambac Financial Group, on Harrisburg's behalf, Rendell said in an interview with Margaret Brennan on Bloomberg Television's "InBusiness."
"They have a chance to dig themselves out of this without going into bankruptcy, and that's something I'd like to see," he said today. "Harrisburg has some assets they can sell."
Harrisburg Mayor Linda Thompson, who took office in January, yesterday proposed closing one of the city's four firehouses, furloughing senior staff members, raising parking fees and negotiating pay cuts with public employee unions to address a deficit in this year's $118 million city budget. Tax revenue is coming in about $9 million below projections, a June 30 report from Thompson shows.
City Council members balked at tax increases and the sale of parking garages and other assets that Thompson proposed in January. Bankruptcy is a "real option" for the city of 47,000, Council Vice President Patty Kim said Sept. 1, after the city notified the trustee of its 1997 D and 1997 F zero-coupon bonds that it wouldn't make the Sept. 15 payments.
The city also has skipped $8 million in payments it guaranteed this year on bonds issued by the Harrisburg Authority for a trash-to-energy incinerator built in the 1960s. Rendell said the debt the city faces from that project makes Harrisburg's situation "an aberration."

MEDFORD, Ore. — A chance meeting and a causal workout at the batting cages gave South Medford sophomore Brady Breeze an opportunity most high school baseball players could only dream of. Breeze was up in Portland hitting with a friend, Ronnie Rust, who plays for Central Catholic. Rust's travelling team coach was there and was impressed with what he saw out of Breeze.
That coach was Jeff Sakamoto, a scout for the Seattle Mariners. Based on this meeting, Sakamoto invited Breeze to play in the Perfect Game 16U World Series this summer in Florida, giving Breeze the chance to play in front of hundreds of college coaches and pro scouts.

Thanks for all the comments and suggestions. We are taking a little bit of everyone's advice. My wife and I went through several scenarios and worked out what to say and do depending where the threat is coming from. She is not comfortable with the pistol (she wants to try a revolver) but can comfortably operate the shotgun. For the moment we are keeping the Mossy unlocked in the master bedroom closet top rack. It's practically invisible when you enter the closet. It is inaccesible to the kid so we are good to go. I will now look for a nice holster and a Surefire. Still thinking about the gun vault.
We have our daughter covered. She is no stranger to firearms. She has been taught the Eddie Eagle. She can effectively identify the shotgun, rifle and handgun and follow the stop, dont touch, go get an adult. At least we got something right.
Fortunately enough I live in a suburb, not in Chicago. This is getting nowhere with our rights so we will definitely be moving out of the Republic of Illinois. We are just waiting for the real estate market to improve.

Rogers Centre
Attendance: 18,193
Toronto, ON (Sports Network) - CC Sabathia rebounded from a rocky outing to throw into the ninth inning, as the New York Yankees locked up a spot in the playoffs with a 6-1 win over the Toronto Blue Jays.
Sabathia (21-7) had given up seven runs in a loss to the Rays last Thursday, but Tuesday limited Toronto to one run, three hits and two walks in 8 1/3 innings, while striking out eight.
"He shut down a very potent offense," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "You look at this club, I mean, everyone you look up seems to have 20 home runs. They're dangerous, and he did an unbelievable job."
The effort helped the reigning World Series champions clinch a playoff berth, as their magic number for that had been one. The Yankees still trail Tampa Bay by half a game in the AL East race because the Rays defeated Baltimore on Tuesday.
Derek Jeter finished with two hits, a walk and scored three times for New York, which dropped the opener of this three-game series on Monday.
Travis Snider homered for Toronto, which had won five in a row. The home run was the Blue Jays' MLB-best 244th of the season, which ties the 2000 Toronto team for most homers in a season in franchise history.
Kyle Drabek (0-3) made his third career start and took the loss after allowing three runs on five hits and a walk in six innings.
"It definitely would have been a lot better to get a win," Drabek said. "But the stuff I've learned in these three starts means a lot more so I can take it into next spring training."
The Yankees picked up a run in the first inning on a sacrifice fly by Alex Rodriguez, and made it a 2-0 game thanks to Mark Teixeira's sac fly in the third.
Toronto struck back in the bottom half, when Snider pulled a first-pitch fastball from Sabathia over the wall in right for his 12th homer of the season.
But the Yankees got the run back in the fifth, after Brett Gardner had tripled with one away. Jeter followed with a ground ball that third baseman Edwin Encarnacion fielded. Encarnacion came home with the throw, but Gardner was called safe after it appeared he touched the plate with his right foot just before catcher John Buck applied the tag.
It was enough run support for Sabathia, who retired 11 in a row after Snider's homer.
The Yankees then added two more runs in the eighth, after loading the bases with one out. Rodriguez worked a walk off Josh Roenicke to force in a run, and after David Purcey came in to pitch, Robinson Cano lofted a pitch to left to make it a 5-1 game.
Sabathia worked a perfect eighth, and New York loaded the bases with nobody out in the ninth. However, Jeter struck out before Greg Golson grounded out to plate the Yankees' final run. Teixeira walked to load the bases once more, but Rodriguez struck out to end the inning.
Sabathia took the mound in the ninth to try for the complete game, but allowed the first two batters to reach before getting Jose Bautista to fly out. Girardi replaced Sabathia with Mariano Rivera, who retired the next two batters to end the game.

Biomass burning (BB) is a major global source of trace gases and particles. Accurately representing the production and evolution of these emissions is an important goal for atmospheric chemical transport models. We measured a suite of gases and aerosols emitted from an 81 hectare prescribed fire in chaparral fuels on the central coast of California, US on 17 November 2009. We also measured physical and chemical changes that occurred in the isolated downwind plume in the first ~4 h after emission. The measurements were carried out onboard a Twin Otter aircraft outfitted with an airborne Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (AFTIR), aerosol mass spectrometer (AMS), single particle soot photometer (SP2), nephelometer, LiCor CO2 analyzer, a chemiluminescence ozone instrument, and a wing-mounted meteorological probe. Our measurements included: CO2; CO; NOx; NH3; non-methane organic compounds; organic aerosol (OA); inorganic aerosol (nitrate, ammonium, sulfate, and chloride); aerosol light scattering; refractory black carbon (rBC); and ambient temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, and three-dimensional wind velocity. The molar ratio of excess O3 to excess CO in the plume (ΔO3/ΔCO) increased from −5.13 (±1.13) × 10−3 to 10.2 (±2.16) × 10−2 in ~4.5 h following smoke emission. Excess acetic and formic acid (normalized to excess CO) increased by factors of 1.73 ± 0.43 and 7.34 ± 3.03 (respectively) over the same time since emission. Based on the rapid decay of C2H4 we infer an in-plume average OH concentration of 5.27 (±0.97) × 106 molec cm−3, consistent with previous studies showing elevated OH concentrations in biomass burning plumes. Ammonium, nitrate, and sulfate all increased over the course of 4 h. The observed ammonium increase was a factor of 3.90 ± 2.93 in about 4 h, but accounted for just ~36% of the gaseous ammonia lost on a molar basis. Some of the gas phase NH3 loss may have been due to condensation on, or formation of, particles below the AMS detection range. NOx was converted to PAN and particle nitrate with PAN production being about two times greater than production of observable nitrate in the first ~4 h following emission. The excess aerosol light scattering in the plume (normalized to excess CO2) increased by a factor of 2.50 ± 0.74 over 4 h. The increase in light scattering was similar to that observed in an earlier study of a biomass burning plume in Mexico where significant secondary formation of OA closely tracked the increase in scattering. In the California plume, however, ΔOA/ΔCO2 decreased sharply for the first hour and then increased slowly with a net decrease of ~20% over 4 h. The fraction of thickly coated rBC particles increased up to ~85% over the 4 h aging period. Decreasing OA accompanied by increased scattering/particle coating in initial aging may be due to a combination of particle coagulation and evaporation processes. Recondensation of species initially evaporated from the particles may have contributed to the subsequent slow rise in OA. We compare our results to observations from other plume aging studies and suggest that differences in environmental factors such as smoke concentration, oxidant concentration, actinic flux, and RH contribute significantly to the variation in plume evolution observations.

-Strength: While her right arm is long gone, most of her power goes into her left one, making her punches/slaps more forceful than the average-well-built male's. She's also got a pretty good kick in those legs.
-Endurance: Built some resistance to her body after being trampled to death, it's an ability that makes her withstand most attacks that would slow down your average zombie and as a side-effect, her limbs can still move on their own when detatched. The only way to "kill" them or keep them from returning to her is by burning them.
-Mind-Fuddling Miasma: A Side effect from the toxic gasses that broke up her party, she's able to secrete noxious gasses that leave humans (or other air-breathers) deranged and confused. Too much inhalation leads to passing out and ultimately death. She usually uses this to make her targets slow down for her to swoop in for the kill.
Trent Murphy - It's easy to say that when the leaders first came together to create the group, her and Trent did NOT get off on the right foot. They usually bickered, physically fought and taunted one another, but after time had passed they've grown used to each other. At a certain point she started developing feelings for him but didn't want to admit to them right away and basically shut down any advances or hints that were there that he liked her too. It's been awhile since then but she still cares for him....not that you'll find her admitting that anytime soon.
Vikas Sokall - She gets along with him quite well, finding his flirting endeavors amusing. There's nothing but friendly flirting between these two and they get along as good friends, but she still likes to best him at things.
Phlox - Her right hand girl and Femme-Fatale Mistress in Crime, Savanne appreciates Phlox's company and her own way of "taking care of business". The girl doesn't speak much so Savanne tends to do the talking for them while Phlox does the actions, but both are do-ers than thinkers. Most of the time.
Ryker Odair- The new addition to the Leaders' circle and semi-new resident of the districts, Savanne doesn't know much about him. She plans on giving him a hard time since he IS a newbie, however. Must go through initiation and all of that~
Samuel Linwood - Another fellow Englishman from the Mother Land, Savanne appreciates the vampire and enjoys having him in her district. She usually supplies him with blood bags found at the hospitals still inhabited by humans, knowing full too well that he prefers having mindful control over his vampire side rather than let the feral, hungrier, and less rational mind take over.
Shawn Heidrich- Has yet to meet. Another piece of fresh meat. To Savanne he honestly looks quite pathetic since the boy is shy and all around meek, which makes her think he's not worth her time of messing with. Still, she's a tad curious wondering if there's more than meets the eye with him since he is a reaper.
Noelani Nevaeh - To be honest, Savanne finds the little reaper quite stupid and annoying. Her cheery ignorant personality clashes against Savanne's own live big or die hard mentality, so whenever given the chance she uses Noelani as a scapegoat for whenever things go awry. Or pesters the younger girl's brain with her own quick wit to amuse herself. Whichever comes first at the time.
