James Cameron, a former assistant attorney general who served as Maine's top drug prosecutor, had been free on bail pending the appeal of his 16-year sentence, an appeal he lost last week.
A high-profile convicted sex offender from Maine is on the lam after cutting off his electronic monitoring bracelet and apparantly fleeing in his car.
James Cameron, a former assistant attorney general who served as Maine's top drug prosecutor, had been free on bail pending the appeal of his 16-year sentence on child pornography charges. Cameron lost that appeal last week.
According to Dean Knightly, a spokesman for the U.S. Marshal's Service, Cameron, 50, was last seen Wednesday night in Hallowell, where he had shown up for a visit with someone. After the visit Cameron drove back to his home in Rome, Maine, and sometime around midnight he cut off his electronic monitoring bracelet, authorities say.
A warrant for his arrest was issued Nov. 15, and Knightly says the marshals service is now actively pursuing leads around the nation. "You know, we'll make a determination, depending on how quickly he's apprehended, as to whether we'll bring further criminal charges against him. He is driving - last known to be driving - a tan Audi A-6, Maine license plate 2333-PL."
Cameron was convicted last year of 13 counts of transportation, receipt and possession of child pornography. He appealed, and last week a federal appeals court in Boston upheld seven convictions, while vacating six others.
This story was reported and written by Susan Sharon.

The board signals approval for banning the chemical from infant formula packaging and baby food, but stopped short of extending it to toddler food.
The Maine Board of Environmental Protection has signaled its approval for a phase-out of the hormone-disrupting chemical bisphenol-A - or BPA - from infant formula packaging and baby food.
Emily Figdor of the group Environment Maine says she's thrilled with the board's position, even though members stopped short of banning BPA from toddler food.
Figdor says board members said there is ambiguity in the law. "And what they were saying is they see the need to protect more kids, but the law needs to be clarified in order for them to be able to do that."
Figdor says the board's action goes further than a recommendation by staff of the Department of Environmental Protection, which wanted to apply the phase-out only to infant formula packaging.

26 U.S. Code § 3305 - Applicability of State law
prev | next
(a) Interstate and foreign commerce
No person required under a State law to make payments to an unemployment fund shall be relieved from compliance therewith on the ground that he is engaged in interstate or foreign commerce, or that the State law does not distinguish between employees engaged in interstate or foreign commerce and those engaged in intrastate commerce.
(b) Federal instrumentalities in general
The legislature of any State may require any instrumentality of the United States (other than an instrumentality to which section 3306 (c)(6) applies), and the individuals in its employ, to make contributions to an unemployment fund under a State unemployment compensation law approved by the Secretary of Labor under section 3304 and (except as provided in section 5240 of the Revised Statutes, as amended (12 U.S.C., sec. 484), and as modified by subsection (c)), to comply otherwise with such law. The permission granted in this subsection shall apply
(A) only to the extent that no discrimination is made against such instrumentality, so that if the rate of contribution is uniform upon all other persons subject to such law on account of having individuals in their employ, and upon all employees of such persons, respectively, the contributions required of such instrumentality or the individuals in its employ shall not be at a greater rate than is required of such other persons and such employees, and if the rates are determined separately for different persons or classes of persons having individuals in their employ or for different classes of employees, the determination shall be based solely upon unemployment experience and other factors bearing a direct relation to unemployment risk;
(B) only if such State law makes provision for the refund of any contributions required under such law from an instrumentality of the United States or its employees for any year in the event such State is not certified by the Secretary of Labor under section 3304 with respect to such year; and
(C) only if such State law makes provision for the payment of unemployment compensation to any employee of any such instrumentality of the United States in the same amount, on the same terms, and subject to the same conditions as unemployment compensation is payable to employees of other employers under the State unemployment compensation law.
(c) National banks
Nothing contained in section 5240 of the Revised Statutes, as amended (12 U.S.C. 484), shall prevent any State from requiring any national banking association to render returns and reports relative to the association's employees, their remuneration and services, to the same extent that other persons are required to render like returns and reports under a State law requiring contributions to an unemployment fund. The Comptroller of the Currency shall, upon receipt of a copy of any such return or report of a national banking association from, and upon request of, any duly authorized official, body, or commission of a State, cause an examination of the correctness of such return or report to be made at the time of the next succeeding examination of such association, and shall thereupon transmit to such official, body, or commission a complete statement of his findings respecting the accuracy of such returns or reports.
(d) Federal property
No person shall be relieved from compliance with a State unemployment compensation law on the ground that services were performed on land or premises owned, held, or possessed by the United States, and any State shall have full jurisdiction and power to enforce the provisions of such law to the same extent and with the same effect as though such place were not owned, held, or possessed by the United States.
(f) American vessels
The legislature of any State in which a person maintains the operating office, from which the operations of an American vessel operating on navigable waters within or within and without the United States are ordinarily and regularly supervised, managed, directed and controlled, may require such person and the officers and members of the crew of such vessel to make contributions to its unemployment fund under its State unemployment compensation law approved by the Secretary of Labor under section 3304 and otherwise to comply with its unemployment compensation law with respect to the service performed by an officer or member of the crew on or in connection with such vessel to the same extent and with the same effect as though such service was performed entirely within such State. Such person and the officers and members of the crew of such vessel shall not be required to make contributions, with respect to such service, to the unemployment fund of any other State. The permission granted by this subsection is subject to the condition that such service shall be treated, for purposes of wage credits given employees, like other service subject to such State unemployment compensation law performed for such person in such State, and also subject to the same limitation, with respect to contributions required from such person and from the officers and members of the crew of such vessel, as is imposed by the second sentence (other than clause (B) thereof) of subsection (b) with respect to contributions required from instrumentalities of the United States and from individuals in their employ.
(g) Vessels operated by general agents of United States
The permission granted by subsection (f) shall apply in the same manner and under the same conditions (including the obligation to comply with all requirements of State unemployment compensation laws) to general agents of the Secretary of Commerce with respect to service performed by officers and members of the crew on or in connection with American vessels—
As to any such vessel, the State permitted to require contributions on account of such service shall be the State to which the general agent would make contributions if the vessel were operated for his own account. Such general agents are designated, for this purpose, instrumentalities of the United States neither wholly nor partially owned by it and shall not be exempt from the tax imposed by section 3301. The permission granted by this subsection is subject to the same conditions and limitations as are imposed in subsection (f), except that clause (B) of the second sentence of subsection (b) shall apply.
(h) Requirement by State of contributions
Any State may, as to service performed on account of which contributions are made pursuant to subsection (g)—
(1) require contributions from persons performing such service under its unemployment compensation law or temporary disability insurance law administered in connection therewith, and
(i) General agent as legal entity
Each general agent of the Secretary of Commerce making contributions pursuant to subsection (g) or (h) shall, for purposes of such subsections, be considered a legal entity in his capacity as an instrumentality of the United States, separate and distinct from his identity as a person employing individuals on his own account.
(j) Denial of credits in certain cases
Any person required, pursuant to the permission granted by this section, to make contributions to an unemployment fund under a State unemployment compensation law approved by the Secretary of Labor under section 3304 shall not be entitled to the credits permitted, with respect to the unemployment compensation law of a State, by subsections (a) and (b) ofsection 3302 against the tax imposed by section 3301 for any taxable year if, on October 31 of such taxable year, the Secretary of Labor certifies to the Secretary of the Treasury his finding, after reasonable notice and opportunity for hearing to the State agency, that the unemployment compensation law of such State is inconsistent with any one or more of the conditions on the basis of which such permission is granted or that, in the application of the State law with respect to the 12-month period ending on such October 31, there has been a substantial failure to comply with any one or more of such conditions. For purposes of section 3310, a finding of the Secretary of Labor under this subsection shall be treated as a finding under section 3304 (c).

- "The busiest ER service in Liberty City."
- — GTA III Website.
Carson General Hospital is a hospital located in Rockford, Staunton Island, Liberty City, serving as the only hospital on Staunton Island. It is where the player spawns to after getting killed in the premises of Staunton Island (after unlocking Staunton Island; players spawn at Sweeney General Hospital instead if they manage to reach the island before "Last Requests" and die in Staunton).
The hospital was established in 1973, with the sign for the hospital saying "Because Health is Liberty". The hospital is located close to Liberty City Community College in Liberty Campus and Liberty City Memorial Stadium in Aspatria, also known as Bush Stadium. Two Health Icons are located at the hospital as well as an Ambulance.
Different vehicles can be found in the car park in Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories. In GTA III, these include a Moonbeam, Bobcat, Rumpo, sometimes a Kuruma (instead of Moonbeam) and a Stallion. A hidden package is also located at the hospital in Grand Theft Auto III. The hospital also appears in Grand Theft Auto Advance.

I first met Jacquie Tajah Murdock, walking uptown looking super glamorous in a blue Chanel jacket. She was just about to turn 80 years old and looked absolutely amazing. I went to visit her yesterday, a few weeks before she turns 81 years old. She wanted to show me her new dress and catch up.My good friend Mimi Weddell always said, "You must dance your way through life." Jacquie is a perfect example of someone who dances their way through life.She told me that she still has so much to look forward to, so much learning, travel and adventure ahead.

I met Carola at the Easter Parade in Manhattan and yesterday she invited me over to meet some of her lovely friends. We had a great time discussing age and style and I got some wonderful shots of Carol and friends in their beautiful hats. I'll post the rest of the photos this week, but for now check out Carola's fun Summer looks above.

Style Never Goes Out of Fashion
One reason that the Advanced Style set is so fashionable is because they have realized that style never goes out of fashion. Ladies like 87 year old Helen above, tell me that style is really about knowing what looks good on your body. When I asked Helen if she had a style philosophy she answered," No I have a Mirror. When I look in the mirror and I like something, I say why not you only have one life to live."

Ilona by The Sea
At 91 everything Ilona Royce Smithkin does is accompanied by a great sense of freedom. She lives in the present and enjoys every moment as it comes.When it comes to thinking about the future Ilona says," I just don't buy green bananas anymore, and I only buy small tubes of tooth paste." Ilona is very inspired by the sea, from her turquoise jewelry which reminds her of moving water, to her mermaid paintings which you can see in the video below.

Who says you can't look stylish on a rainy day?I met this gorgeous woman outside The National Arts Club looking super fashionable on a rainy Summer's day. I never understand why people choose dark colors for grey and winter days. Why not brighten your spirits with a beautiful green trench like the woman above.

Advanced Style Helsinki
I have been in Scandinavia the past few weeks thanks to Liisa Jokinen and Sampo Karjalainen of the wonderful blog Hel Looks. They invited me to Helsinki to be part of the Hel Looks Weekend festival where I presented my photos along with nine other fantastic creatives. We were all given the choice to pick 20 slides and had 20 seconds to discuss each one. I had a grand time talking about the wonderful Advanced Style ladies and met so many great people. I am working hard on gathering material for my book and will be back in New York on Wednesday.

Summer in Scandinavia
I have been having the best time in Scandinavia shooting Advanced Style and enjoying the sights. I arrived in Copenhagen this morning and I'll be here until Wednesday morning looking for great style. The lady above, like so many of the women I talk to, is wearing an outfit that she has had for many years.She had it made by her favorite dress maker and it still looks good after all these years.
Ulla told me what her 90 year old dress maker shared with her a few years back,"There are two kinds of women, ones with imagination and ones with no imagination. The ones with no imagination can't imagine how clothes will look before they are made and so they should buy from the racks, but those with imagination who can see what they will look like should have things made." Ulla told me that she knows its difficult and expensive to have clothes custom made today, but she said we can still wear our clothes with imagination.

I have been in Stockholm the past few days with limited access to internet and am now at the airport on my way to Helsinki. When I asked the woman above for a photo, she asked why I wouldn't want to take a picture of someone beautiful,someone younger, why her? I explained that I don't think of beauty in terms of age and that she was in fact very beautiful.She was hesitant,but in the end she thanked me with a smile on her face.

3."Be More, appear Less."
4."Always take the phone off the hook when you're in the bath."

Went to my first Haight Street Fair last sunday which is a huge annual street fair in San Francisco with lots of different vendors, including a hell of lot of T-Shirts. The fair runs for at least a mile with a stage at each end with bands and DJ's performing all day. I'm glad to say I found some new T-shirt designs and designers, and also ran into some old friends as well.
I think one of my favorite new designers/artisans is Jenifer Kirsch who's line is called Juror2 – Exceptionally Curious T-shirts. Jennifer is an amazing "one man" t-shirt band, who designs, draws and hand screens all here shirts. She was even screening shirts right there at the festival when I met her. I took a few pictures of her at work.
Oaklandish was also new to me, and which appears to be another Oakland based T-shirt company fiercely loyal to their town. I wonder if Oakland suffers the same sort of feeling that it's playing second fiddle to San Francisco, as Cambridge does to Boston? I wonder if this kind of urban nationalism stems from a kind of inferiority complex, I mean they don't call it the Peoples Republic of Cambridge for nothing Anyway, Oaklandish has some great prints and are worth checking out whether you live in Oakland or not.
One thing they do have on San Francisco is it is warmer
More Oakland love from another new t-shirt company, Like Minded People. These guys aim for designs that aim to be a bit more thoughtful and meaningful than the often flip slogans we find on a lot of T-shirts. Their tag line "clothing for the conscious inspired by life" expresses pretty well what their sentiments are, and they have some great designs as well. All the shirts are hand printed using water based inks on AA.
The Town t-shirt of course has the famous Oakland dock crane that is said to have inspired the AT-AT's in the Empire Strikes Back.
likemindedpeople.us (also i'm listening to an amazing CD these guys gave me as well, apparently the founder is a bit of a DJ as well)
TwoTreeDesigns also new to me but has some nice prints, lots of audio inspired goodness.
Dreamtime Creations were there with all your burningman costume needs, and some really nicely detailed shirts. The addition of another fabric as sort of piping around the sleeves, collar and the hem made these shirts really stand out.
(unfortunately the web address on their card doesn't have anything related to this http://dreamtimecreations.eu)
Custom Industries who I've met before at Threadshow were there and are having a huge clearance sale, 50% off folks, check them out, they've got Hoodies, Zippies, Long Sleeved themals and of course a bunch of T-Shirts. I can vouch for the nice quality of the shirts.
Old friends I caught up with included Fiftyseven-Thirtythree who were rocking some amazing new hoodies, the details on the linings to the hoods, the airbrushed designs, and details made these really stand out. They also had some new t-shirt designs that I was digging as well.
Check out their Etsy store for all their stuff
Of course San Franpsycho were there doing their live screen-printing in front of what seemed to be a sell out crowd, these guys always attract a lot of interest with their screening shenanigans
One of the few things I bought were some sunglasses from a new indie eyewear company called Irie Eyewear, check them out.
Oh, and this is not a T-Shirt but damn well should be
You can see all my pictures from the fair here on flickr.

Any hunter would jump at the chance to rescue you from that bad wolf when you wear our Lady's Ms. Red Riding Hood Costume. The contents of this set include the mini cape and dress with crinoline. A white peasant shirt makes up the very top of the dress while the rest is filled out with a red and white checkered design. The torso area features a corset design, and the skirt flairs out flirtatiously from it. Other features of this dress include the lacy crinoline that peeks out from the bottom of the skirt and the white apron that decorates it. Wear the short red hooded cape for the full effect. This incredible women's Ms. Red Riding Hood costume is a not so innocent spin on an innocent fairy tale character. Knee high white stockings and a straw basket are among the accessories we sell that complement this item perfectly.

Coronado Solar Filter Adapter Plate
Most telescopes will require a Coronado built adaptor plate in order to secure the MaxScope series filter to the objective cell. These plates are built by Coronado for most telescope up to 16" in diameter. We have a standard list comprising of over 100 of the most popular models including Meade, Celestron. Takahashi, Astro Physics, Borg, Orion, and TeleVue telescopes.
Some adaptor plate will thread to the front objective cell and others, like the one pictured, will be lined with felt and slip over the objective cell, secured with thumb screws. Using anything other than a Coronado built adaptor is inherently unsafe and Coronado will not guarantee performance or safety (in terms of being securely attached to host telescope) of the filter when used with a non Coronado plate. Even standard plates can take several weeks for delivery if they are not in stock.

ELKHART — SoMa's effort to promote downtown Elkhart will receive an infusion of $250,000 for marketing purposes for 2014 from two sources.
The Elkhart County Convention and Visitor's Bureau has agreed to provide $150,000 to SoMa and the city's redevelopment commission agreed to provide another $100,000 expressly for marketing, said Diana Lawson, chairperson of the SoMa initiative. Her full-time job is executive director of the CVB.
News about the marketing money came to light during a Lerner Theatre board meeting Wednesday, Nov. 13, at city hall.
"It's going to make a huge difference," said Lerner board president Gary Boyn, who also serves as the attorney for the redevelopment commission.
Lawson said the CVB money should be viewed as a "one time" opportunity.
The SoMa initiative is the result of a two-year effort by a group of local volunteers working at the direction of Mayor Dick Moore to revitalize the downtown. SoMa stands for Supporting Our Main Assets.
The CVB's main mission is to market the entire county for tourism purposes, but it has focused in recent years on the downtowns of cities within the county.
The CVB money will be used technically to promote the new RiverWalk Culture Trail, which traverses the entire downtown from the Wellfield Botanic Garden on the north side to the New York Central Railroad on the south end of the business district.
As a result, SoMa will be able to market the numerous destination points along the trail, Lawson said.
She said marketing could range from television commercials, brochures, maps, signs and local advertising.
The focus, though, will be aimed at area residents.
"It's dedicated to creating an awareness locally," Lawson said.
"The combination of those two investments will really get attention for the downtown and that's what we need," Lawson said.
"It's really the first time we've had the resources."
Lawson said SoMa officials are assembling a strategy on how the money will be used and it should be finalized within weeks.
Boyn said he believes merchants and property owners will see results from the marketing and that it will lead to greater pride and hopefully improvements on their part.
While the focus is making the downtown a destination point, by doing so, it could influence visitors about the idea of working and living in Elkhart, he said.
"I see this thing as having the potential to change the whole community," Boyn said.
David Smith, general manager of the Lerner, added: "We want entities that exist downtown to look back in a year and say, 'I'm glad to be downtown and I'm glad to be part of SoMa and I'm seeing a direct benefit,'" Smith said.
Word of the additional marketing money comes just weeks after city officials finalized funding plans to hire three full-time employees for SoMa. Two more could be hired if private funds can be found.
The three workers will be based out of the Lerner.
At the same time, the Lerner board is ironing out changes after city leaders decided to have the Lerner board oversee SoMa and Downtown Elkhart Inc. The Lerner board is also finalizing an arrangement with the redevelopment commission, which funds SoMa and DEI.
Crystal Welsh, director of community development, said the change makes sense since the redevelopment commission focuses more on bricks and mortar rather than promoting and coordinating downtown events.
SoMa's three-pronged mission involves the theme of "live, work and play."
SoMa management will focus on the entertainment aspects while DEI will work to make the downtown more attractive for an businesses and those who want to live in the downtown area. That will include improvements to the nearby residential areas on State and Division streets.
The Lerner board also received detailed plans for 2014 for SoMa and DEI.
The plans include specific benchmarks as a way to hold the groups accountable for their efforts, Boyn said.

May 6, 2016
J.T. Barber Elementary School in New Bern celebrated a traditional Chinese New Year Friday for the 7th straight year.
Preschoolers hosted activities and led the parade down the main hallway while other students sat and cheered them on. The traditional dragon and many handmade masks are just part of the customs celebrated during the Chinese New Year.
Many students were in the color red- a sign of strength in the Chinese culture. Principal Kathy Barber says its an important day for all students.
"It helps them make connections to their native land as well as helps other students learn about their traditions," said Barber.
Friday was not the actual start of the Chinese New Year. It's actually February 10th. According to the Chinese calendar, this is the year of the snake.

Yes, that's GOTTA be it, or maybe it's because it's the only thing that a bunch of the population CAN do to be remotely competitive?
Calculated use of overdose in good spots wins games. Spamming overdose and killing sacrificial units while your opponent pumps out heavier hitters? That stuff makes you look like an idiot. And if you lose to overdose spam, well, maybe you gotta examine your playstyle.

The Thieves
By DAVID WEINER
February 12, 2013
Korea's highest-grossing movie to date has a certain Ocean's Eleven flair as this high-stakes heist film follows five thieves at the top of their game, plotting to pull off a major casino robbery -- lift the Tear of the Sun, a 318-carat diamond worth $20 million dollars. The all-star ensemble includes Gianna Jun (Snow Flower and the Secret Fan), Kim Hae-suk (Thirst), Kim Hye-su (Modern Boy), Kim Soo Hyun (The Third Hospital), Kim Yun-seok (Punch), Angelica Lee (Sleepwalker), Lee Jung-Jae (The Accidental Gangster), Oh Dal-su (The Traffickers), Kwok Cheung Tsang (The Bullet Vanishes) and Simon Yam (IP Man). Bonus materials include two behind-the-scenes featurettes.

Earnest Kelly, credited as Old Man Kelly, is a character in Grand Theft Auto series who appears as a supporting character in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
Kelly is a long-time worker at the print works in Little Haiti, which would be bought over by Tommy Vercetti.
Earnest Kelly was voiced by the late George DiCenzo.[1]
Life up to 1986
Having worked at the print works for a long time, Earnest has always fancied printing money, albeit on a smaller scale.[2]
With the help of Tommy, Earnest acquires high quality printing plates to produce better counterfeit money.[3] It also appears Tommy has a soft spot for the old man, as his own father managed a print works when Vercetti was younger.[4] As a result, Tommy seems to bond with Earnest right after their first meeting.
Tommy shows extreme concern and anger when Earnest is injured by Forelli Family enforcers who have come to take "their cut".[5] Tommy then murders all of the Forelli enforcers, and eventually Sonny Forelli himself, along with Lance Vance.
Some time after the final mission, Tommy receives a phone call from Earnest, who is recovering from his injuries. Telling him, "Tommy, for a raging lunatic you sure are naive," and "I'll be back at work soon. Teach ya a thing or two about life you hear?".

- ↑ Earnest Kelly: "Oh, crap, sonny, low grade crap. I've always fancied printing money. It ain't too hard. You know, I've been doing it on a small scale for years.." (from the Spilling the Beans mission)
- ↑ Tommy Vercetti: "Alright, the courier's moving the plates from the docks today. I'm gonna go intercept them, grab the plates, lose any heat, and make my way back here." (from the Hit the Courier mission)
- ↑ Earnest Kelly: "Mr. Vercetti? Hey. You bought the old print works?"
Tommy Vercetti: "Yeah, my old man used to work on these. I used to spend the evenings with him, cleaning the rollers... I was going to follow him in his trade, but...I lived a different life." (from the Spilling the Beans mission)
- ↑ Tommy Vercetti: "Ok, what's the emergency?"
Earnest Kelly: "Tommy...some mob thugs ...said they'd come to take their cut... ...said it was a Mr. Forello's money...I feel like crap".
Tommy Vercetti: "Forelli? SONNY Forelli?"
Earnest Kelly: "Yeah, that's the guy...I think...they were very insistent..."
Tommy Vercetti: "I'm not angry with you. Get him to the hospital."
Earnest Kelly: "Tommy...rip that guy a new asshole for me..."
Tommy Vercetti: "I'm gonna rip him two!" (from the Cap the Collector mission)

My New Home!
Carlo Ancelotti faced reporters before Friday's training session and spoke about tomorrow's Madrid derby clash with Atlético.
Marcelo and Bale: "I think Bale will be available to play, I will decide nearer the time whether he will start or come on later. Marcelo won't be fit in time to play".
Favourites to win: "It's difficult to say. We played badly against Elche but this is another game, it will be different. We'll be giving our best to win a very important game against a side who are doing well and have won all of their games. Atlético have improved and grown in confidence since the Copa del Rey final but we can play well and win".
Elche: "I'm not surprised that people still want to talk about that game. We know what areas of our game let us down and we will correct that and play with a different attitude tomorrow".
Atlético unity: "They are a compact side, they play well as a unit but we have different qualities. Atlético are more aggressive but Madrid have more quality".
Concerns: "We're not worried. Changes require time. I am sure that we will improve certain details to our game".
Battle of wits between the two coaches: "Matches are always about the players. The team will play well if it is clear about its strategy and that's what we'll be trying to do. It's not about who's sat on the bench, it's about the players out on the pitch".
The team's level of form: "We are working to improve our game". Referee worries: "No. I think this will be a difficult match because both teams want to win. The pressure will be high but I don't think we'll have any problems with the ref".
Line-up: "That will depend on a few things. Coentrao played well against Elche but he has only recently returned after a serious injury. I'll make my decision tomorrow".
Formation: "We've played the seven games with a 4-4-2. Sometimes it works, other times it doesn't, but we haven't changed to 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1".
Agressive Atleti: "It's one of their characteristics to be aggressive as a weapon. They're good at the back and well organised. We need to find a way through using speed. Playing slowly will make it tough".
Squad: "They are up for this, utterly focused on the derby".
Simeone: "His Atleti are like he was as a player. Tactically perfect and with a lot of character".
Diego Costa: "He's dangerous, along with Villa, and the whole team needs to defend well, not just the central defenders".
Midfielders: "Speaking as an ex-midfielder, physical strength isn't important. You need to think ahead, before you receive the ball".
Referees: "Just like the players, they make mistakes on the pitch. Nothing more than that. I won't talk about the penalty or about Barcelona – Sevilla. Coaches make mistakes too".
after God only knows how long.
Arbeloa. Oh, ´Achilles Tendon´ Arbeloa.
BTW, Diego López just got a raise.
after God only knows how long.
Copa del Rey final? Of course, he was effectively sideline for everything that didn't matter for quite some time at the end of last season.

Comments about Champion Sports Volleyball Set:
Okay, I know everything has to be cheap to make a buck, but come on! The fixtures are SO flimsy that two broke during assembly. The poles are just thin wall pcv pipe. At best, a 20 dollar kit. My two kids will destroy it in a week.
Don't bother.....pure junk.

Is Oil Output Peaking or Not? Either Way, Cheap Oil Is Gone
Proponents of the peak-oil theory can muster studies and statistics backing their claim that declining global oil output is nigh. Critics point to new technologies and unconventional oil fields as saviors. Either way, a return to the days of $1.50-a-gallon gasoline isn't going to happen.

Geocaching at Skamania Lodge
For those of you with a love of the outdoors and a passion for exploration, consider a little geocaching during your visit to Skamania Lodge. With a handheld GPS and some published coordinates at "geocaching.com", Geocaching allows you to find neat and unusual places off the beaten path. GPS coordinates are posted on the internet to the location of a hidden container at different locations. You simply download the coordinates to the GPS and let it guide you to the container. The container, at a minimum consists of a log so you can sign proving that you found the geocache. Some containers are quite small and only have enough room for the log. Other containers are large enough to hold trinkets or swag. The area around Stevenson and Skamania Lodge is loaded with lots of creative geocaches. They bring you to some great hikes, fantastic views, and interesting places. Most of the geocaches are placed by the local geocachers to show off something interesting that you would not normally find on your own. It's always fun to find the hidden geocache, but the real fun is the journey with friends and family trying to locate the geocache. So next time you are in town, do a search at "Geocaching.com" of Skamania lodge or 98648 and let the adventure begin.
Raptor House Rehabilitation Cetner
Raptor House of Yakima is a rehabilitation center where injured, sick, and orphaned birds of prey are brought for medical attention. The birds receive care from local veterinarians who donate their services and medication to the raptors and the Raptor House Rehabilitation Center. The birds are then put in designated flight pens for its species for exercise and recuperation. Once ready for release, they are released in the same location found or a designated location from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. Raptor House Rehabilitation Centers mission is to preserve the earth's biological diversity and to secure the future of bird species in their natural environments. We work to fulfill that mission through education and raptor rehabilitation. Recently they recorded a release of two Swainson's Hawks after rehabilitation.

Over the past two weeks, one lesson has presented itself to me in a variety of forms – the importance of clarity over and above certainty.Without going into all the gory details, suffice it to say that processes have stalled waiting for every last fact to be gathered, people have adorned their arguments with extraneous and jargonistic detail to prove the absolute rightness of their point of view, and meetings have been endlessly prolonged while meaningless minutia was debated. It's exhausting!In his book, The Five Temptations of a CEO, Patrick Lencioni names "choosing certainty over clarity" as temptation number three. While he affirms the importance of working with good information, he argues that many of us (CEO or not) take pride in our analytical skills and keen insights. Consequently, we spend too much time honing even-more-finely-detailed analyses into conclusions that get a nod but don't move our organizations forward. Further, the higher impact issues before the group are left to the final few minutes of an already-too-long meeting.Clarity, in contrast, means that you take a stand, and people understand the argument being made. They know points on which they agree and, perhaps more important, points on which they disagree. To speak clearly, however, requires us to set aside our fear of being wrong (or, at least, not-completely-right) and willingly invite others to challenge and improve our arguments.Also, clarity makes accountability possible. Clarity of mission and purpose as well as clarity on individual roles and responsibilities means everyone knows why we exist, where we're headed and who's doing what. Everyone knows what's expected and each person participates in keeping the organization on track.In the study, Fearless Journeys, the researchers describe how several orchestras took on innovative ideas to invigorate their organizations. In the closing, the writer observed that what made all the difference was NOT the choice each made, but the fact that they dared to choose. Any decision is better than no decision.Best,Thom

Nearly two-thirds (63%) of CFOs who report having pension plans have utilized at least one aggressive derisking tactic, according to the Q1 2016 CFO Signals™ survey-up from 45% in Q4 2014. But several factors suggest pension derisking may accelerate this year even as many CFOs continue to wrestle with the balance-sheet volatility of pension liabilities. Learn leading practices that are emerging to help management and boards sort through the complexity of the derisking process and address concerns of various stakeholders.
