DC announced some creative changes on some of their "Edge" titles, the first of which was that Jeff Lemire, who has been writing the critically-beloved Animal Man and Frankenstein: Agent of S.H.A.D.E., is leaving the latter title to take over Justice League Dark from Peter Milligan, starting with issue #9, after the JLD's crossover with I, Vampire. Artist Mikal Janin will remain on JLD.
"This is my dream gig at DC Comics, no doubt about it," Lemire says. "The characters in Justice League Dark are my absolute favorite in the DC Comics stable, and I can't believe I'm actually getting a chance to write John Constantine, Zatanna and Deadman (as well as a few new team members!). I have a huge amount of respect for Peter Milligan. I've loved everything he's done since his original Shade run in the pre-Vertigo days of DC to his current run on Hellblazer and JL Dark. It's a bit daunting to take over this title from someone who I revere as much as Peter, but at the same time I can't help but be inspired by the work he's already done with this book."
Milligan, for his part, will remain on Hellblazer and Red Lanterns, and is going to be taking over Stormwatch from Paul Cornell, but he doesn't sound thrilled about leaving JLD. "It's a bit of a wrench leaving JL Dark, of course, and not working with the increasingly outstanding Mikel Janin. But the fact that Jeff Lemire is taking over makes me very sanguine. I think Jeff is great. And I think he'll be great for this book. It'll be intriguing to see how he handles the great conman mage, John Constantine, whose twisted life I'm continuing to chronicle over in Vertigo's Hellblazer."
That leaves an empty space over on Frankenstein, which will be filled by Matt Kindt, who collaborated with Lemire not only on the final issue of Men of War this April, but also on the Vertigo series Sweet Tooth. He's also been working on the Robotman story for My Greatest Adventure.
""I'm so excited to be writing Frankenstein, Agent of S.H.A.D.E.!" Kindt says. "I've been good friends with Jeff Lemire since we both broke into comics years ago and I remember spending the weekend at his studio and kicking his ideas around for his take on Frank and Crew and just having a blast. Lemire was having so much fun putting these characters into action…and I think that fun really comes through."
So, what can we expect from these new writers on their respective new titles?
"Working in the DC universe is liberating in a lot of ways," Kindt explains. "I'm getting a chance to hit more directly on a lot of genre stuff I haven't gotten to yet – science fiction and horror with all of my past espionage experience mixed into it. It's a crazy mix. I have to say that writing the scripts for Frankenstein has seriously been some of the most entertaining hours of my writing career. Taking over for Jeff is just the added bonus – knowing where he was going with the series from the beginning and talking about these great characters he's rebooted has been fantastic. And it's going to be fun to surprise him (and the readers) with where it ends up going. There's Frank and his relationship with so-and-so (can't spoil it), the Mummy and his crazy origin. And we're going to get to see a lot more of S.H.A.D.E. and see how the agency works around the globe and visit a lot of crazy field offices. What is life as a S.H.A.D.E. agent really like? It's basically Steranko meets Tinker, Tailor, Soldier Spy, with some of the best spy-gadgets ever invented."
Lemire has big ideas for JLD. "One of the things I'm anxious to explore is just why the name 'Justice League' is in the title of this book? I want to explore and create new connections between this team of mystical misfits and Geoff and Jim's big guns in The Justice League. On that note, Geoff and I have had many discussions on how to link our two books and make the Justice League franchises connect in new and unexpected ways. More on that in the near future."
Anything else, Jeff? "Well, you'll see an old haunt becoming the team's new HQ. Constantine, the master manipulator that he is, will emerge as the clear leader of the team, and there will be 2 new members as well! (Hint one's a man and one's a woman. One uses magic, one doesn't.) Not enough….hmmm…how about a classic Justice League villain re-imagined as The Justice League Dark's new arch-enemy? And that's just the start. I have a huge storyline planned with implications across the Dark line of books."
How about you, Mr. Milligan? "Stormwatch has the craziness, the paranoia and the occasional bursts of odd humor that really grab me. This is my kind of book. In other words, when I re-read Paul Cornell's excellent first series with a view to taking over the writing duties I was really excited. And I'm excited too by what I have planned, from Stormwatch facing a ferocious character from the Red Lantern Corps, to hidden secrets being revealed about the origin of Stormwatch, and some shocking revelations about the mysterious Shadow Lords. It's going to be a very intense ride."

New to me – Tron Design Correspondence between Dave Nutting and Bally
I was browsing tonight, trying to inform myself of the history and timelines of Al Kassow's work on the Spies archive of arcade game data, and I came across this design document that was apparently part of this archive. At the end is a letter that Dave Nutting from Nutting and Associates sent to Dave Marofske about their meeting about the development of a Tron game.
Fairly formal letter. Didn't quite jive with the impression I got about Dave after talking with a former Nutting & Associates employee but even the most creative visionaries with their wandering minds can have moments of focus and articulation. (Minus the grammar and spelling issues 😉 For me, this letter just kind of fueled the backstory on why the Earth, Friend, Mission prototype was just thrown at the Tron project – mostly because of unreasonable time lines.
Transcription of the Dave Nutting letter
Dear Dave,
I came away from Monday's Tron meeting with some concerns for which I have given some thought.
First, I was impressed with the Tron presentation. Bill and George obviously spent a great deal of thought and energy developing their game concepts. I see emerging a real spark of creative energy.
My concerns lie in the area of too many ideas and too many unknowns. Unless these areas are addressed immediately, to commit for a Tron delivery of 1 April is a courting disaster.
The creation of a video game is the same as creating a movie with the significant exception that the video game is real time and the player is a character in that real time action.
In the multi game approach I am concerned over the multi character rolls the player must learn, the different points of view, and most important how the player interacts with the CRT through player controls that would be different for each game.
Addressing these problem parameters, I recommend the following.
- The Rings game is unique in its point of view utilizing perspective 3D. It also provides a visual presentation that fully exploits the power of the hardware system. Consider developing just Rings as the Tron game. Establish multi levels of difficulty (ala Tempest). The controls would be the roller ball utilizing similar approach we used with the pitcher in baseball. The Player would have limited control of path of the disc as it travels.
- For a multi game approach I would suggest three games Cycle, Tank and MCP, point of view is 2D, two birds eye view, one profile view. To maintain character identification at the beginning of each game Tron animates on screen to his vehicle and then becomes a cycle, a tank, a space ship. The controls would be an eight way Gorf handle plus four buttons ala Zapp. Establish multi levels of each game.
- Standard checkmate
- Place obstacle on play field
- Play area is larger than what is visual on screen (super bug)
The control would be four positions of Gorf handle. The four Zapp buttons could control larger area motion.
Tank – create multi levels of mazes but stay with basic X Y.
The eight way joy stick becomes full effective in open field mazes. If you pull trigger the tank fires in direction of tank motion. Player can alternately choose one of four Zapp buttons and tank fires ala Zapp.
MCP – perhaps the player must achieve several levels of cycle and Tank before he can confront the MCP.
Display MCP as a sudo three D cylinder with vertical panels. Now animate a bright light moving from panel to panel back and forth. player is a rocket ship in lower screen ala Gorf. Player must hit lighted panel to break hole in MCP as light moves back and forth the hit panel animates like a spark gap. Meanwhile the entire cylinder is descending down on player. Player objective is to move up through gap blown in MCP and not move through when spark gap could also destroy him.
The four Zapp buttons could activate different types of missile, laser, missile – fireball etc.
The player can play all games using only the Gorf handle. The four Zapp buttons become secondary features giving player more power as he learns to use them.
This is as far as my thoughts go for today.

A little history on Nutting & Associate's Vector Prototype
There comes a time when true history turns into a story, or a legend. What were originally factual stories are passed on from person to person to the point where details are left out, and only the general ideas remain.
This is one of my passions that drives this blog. These creators that worked for the big arcade manufacturer's won't be available forever, and it has been nearly 30 years since some of these original games were developed. None of which were around at the time where the internet was booming.
Today we get a few more facts on Nutting & Associate's – Earth, Friend Mission Prototype from the mouth of a former employee of Nutting and the truth of how this vector cockpit prototype was connected to Bally's Tron. (more…)
Nutting & Associates Arcade Vector Prototype
On the way back from Troy's arcade party on Saturday, Chris Moore and Bill Karkula got to rehashing some of the conversation towards the end of the night and Bill got to talking about some more of his experiences calling on some of the arcade manufacturers from 1983-1986. In particular he talked about visiting Dave Nutting's location and sitting down in the prototype cockpit of a vector arcade game. Intrigued, Bill went on to talk a little bit more about the game, and this is the little snippet I found online. (more…)
Tron & Battlezone 3D Animations
Surfing tonight to find a cool piece of coin-op arcade related information to post on the blog. Then I re-visited Peter Hirschberg's website, which always sticks out in my mind as one of the better arcade collecting related designed websites. Peter works for AOL in VA and clearly has some money put into the video game collecting hobby.
He also has a desire to work in special effects in Hollywood. Here is a video from YouTube showing some amazing computer models of the classic arcade games Battlezone by Atari and Tron by Bally Midway. He does a flythrough of the details on these games, and it is pretty phenomenal if you have any familiarity with them.

A guy at work recently moved into a new home that has a Gibraltar Fireplace insert. I went and looked at it. It appears to have stationary grates for wood. I'm not having much luck finding info on this insert. Does anyone know if it can be suited for coal by installing a coal shaker grate system?
He is interested in selling the unit since he'll never use it. He's not the type to tinker with a fire. I don't think he went to boy scouts when he was younger lol.
Any information on these appliances would be appreciate

One in five couples has, or would consider, a pre-nuptial agreement
Romance for a growing number of lovebirds today means signing a pre-nuptial or cohabitation agreement.
One in five couples now has, or is considering, a 'pre-nup' to protect their cash in case things turn sour, according to a study by Co-operative Legal Services.
These are agreed before marriage or a civil partnership.
Cohabitation contracts can protect cash and assets while couples live together.
Maggie Davidson-Stevens, from Manchester, signed a pre-nup agreement with her husband Michael when they married ten years ago.
She said: 'I had been married before and spent £17,500 from the equity from a previous property on our new home, but I wanted to make sure that I could recover the money if the second marriage failed.
'That was ten years ago and we laugh about it now, but it gives me extra peace of mind.'
Typically, younger people are more likely to consider a pre-nup agreement
The Co-op study showed 33 per cent of 18 to 24 year olds either have or would consider getting a pre-nup, compared with 14 per cent of over 55s.
The cost of having an agreement drawn up varies, but most are between £500 and £1,000, while cohabitation contracts can often be cheaper.
Pre-nups are taken seriously by courts if they are drawn up properly by expert lawyers, but are not completely binding.
Christina Blacklaws, director of family law at Co-op Legal Services, said: 'Pre-nups are particularly important for people who are entering second or subsequent marriages who may want to protect their assets for their own children
'Cohabitation agreements recognise there is no such thing as a common law marriage in England and Wales.'

NEW YORK (Apr. 16)
All three branches of Judaism–Orthodox, Reform and Conservative–in this country "will probably have to increase their recruiting efforts" for students for the Rabbinate if the rise in interest in synagogue life is to continue. The New York Times said today in the conclusion of a study conducted by the newspaper on the shortage of rabbis and rabbinical students.
Officials of Yeshiva University, declared the Times, "have decided that heavy pumping is necessary" to bring more students into the rabbinical field. The survey shows that the student body at the University's Rabbi Elchanan Theological Seminary, which trains rabbis for Orthodox congregations, declined from 160 in 1956 to 92 in 1958, but rose again last fall to ill.
Posing the question whether the post-war surge of religious feelings is coming to an end, the Times survey establishes that "there are signs that it is." It supports this assertion by pointing out that "Protestant, Catholic and Jewish leaders find they are unable to attract enough youth to religious vocations. "
"It is feared, " the Times stresses, "that the popular interest in religion may dissipate before it can be captured and transformed into meaningful gains for the faiths." Giving figures on the shortage of rabbis and rabbinical students, the paper says that the Jewish groups are "accepting the shortage of rabbis as a continuing fact, " attributing the situation chiefly to the fact that the large population moves to the suburbs has increased the number of synagogues and temples in recent years.

Sample Downloads: http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/GridViewRowEventSupport-48597096
Today's sample demonstrates how to add GridView Row Event Support on Server side or Client side. In this sample, the server side registers script then triggers the RowEditing event of the GridView and the Client side alerts the InnerHtml text of the selected "tr".
The sample was written by our star sample writer: Seiya Su.
You can find more code samples that demonstrate the most typical programming scenarios by using Microsoft All-In-One Code Framework Sample Browser or Sample Browser Visual Studio extension. They give you the flexibility to search samples, download samples on demand, manage the downloaded samples in a centralized place, and automatically be notified about sample updates. If it is the first time that you hear about Microsoft All-In-One Code Framework, please watch the introduction video on Microsoft Showcase, or read the introduction on our homepage http://1code.codeplex.com/.
The sample demonstrates how to add GridView Row Event Support on Server side or Client side. In this sample, the server side registers script then triggers the RowEditing event of the GridView and the Client side alerts the InnerHtml text of the selected "tr"
Running the Sample
Please follow these demonstration steps below.
Step 1: Open the CSASPNETGridViewRowEventSupport.sln.
Step 2: Right-click the ClientSideSupport.aspx page then select "View in Browser". Click the Data row you can see an alert to show the InnerHtml of the selected "tr" tag.
Step 3: Right-click the ServerSideSupport.aspx page then select "View in Browser". Click the Data row you can see enter EditTemplate of the GridView.
Using the Code
Step1. Create a C# "ASP.NET Web Application" in Visual Studio 2010/Visual Web Developer 2010. Name it as "CSASPNETGridViewRowEventSupport".
Step2. Add two pages then rename to ClientSideSupport.aspx and ServerSideSupport.aspx. Add a GridView to the both pages. Then rename them "gvCustomer".
Step3. Under the App_Data folder add a database name it "gvData.mdf" then create a table name it "CustomerInfo".
Step4. Add a SqlDataSource for each page, it uses the database to obtain the load data, and then bound to the GridView of the current page.
Step5. In the ClientSideSupport page, add OnRowEditing and OnRowCreated event for the GridView.
<asp:GridView ID="gvCustomer" runat="server" OnRowCreated="gvCustomer_RowCreated" AutoGenerateColumns="False" OnRowEditing="gvCustomer_RowEditing" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1"> </asp:GridView>
The code-behind is as follows:
protected void gvCustomer_RowCreated(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e) { if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow) { //Returns a string that can be used in a client event to cause postback to the server e.Row.Attributes.Add("onclick", Page.ClientScript.GetPostBackEventReference((Control)sender, "Edit$" + e.Row.RowIndex.ToString())); } } protected void gvCustomer_RowEditing(object sender, GridViewEditEventArgs e) { //Set the edit index. gvCustomer.EditIndex = e.NewEditIndex; }
[Note] In order to call GetPostBackEventReference method we must add the following code:
/// <summary> /// Register the postback or callback data for validation. /// </summary> /// <param name="writer"></param> protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter writer) { for (int i = 0; i < gvCustomer.Rows.Count; i++) ClientScript.RegisterForEventValidation(gvCustomer.UniqueID, "Edit$" + i); base.Render(writer); }
Step6. Build the application and you can debug it.

The CSU Chancellor's Office and our campus have entered into agreements with several software developers and vendors to provide site licenses (i.e., no-cost distribution) or volume purchase agreements (i.e., discount pricing) to make software applications available to faculty, staff and students. For a list of titles Click Here: Software Titles (PDF)
Each of these software applications is provided via a licensing agreement that falls into one of three general categories: software which the University has rights to copy and distribute (e.g., Microsoft Windows and Office for on campus use); software which University departments and programs must purchase from a "master agreement" (e.g., Adobe products and certain Microsoft products); and software which ITS has purchased in "bulk" and distributes to faculty (e.g., Microsoft work at home program and Adobe Acrobat Professional).
Each agreement has its own costs, rules, and eligibility requirements. For example, some software is available for download from either vendor or University servers; some software may be distributed via physical copy; some vendors require the faculty or staff member to sign a "compliance agreement"; some software is "prepaid" by the University; some must be purchased by the individual faculty or staff member; some software is available for on-campus use only; and some may be used at home. The table in Software Titles (PDF) provides a brief outline of the titles and requirements. If you have questions about availability or requirements, contact the Help Desk.
To request a title from the list of available titles, submit a request to the Help Desk either by email or by filling out the Help Desk Service Request Form. ITS will verify your eligibility and will send you an email detailing how you may receive the title, whether or not a "compliance agreement" needs to be filled out and any other special requirements. Depending on the licensing, titles may be picked up at MATS (LI 2800), downloaded from campus or vendor servers, or ordered using the University's normal purchasing procedures.
Your college, division, or departmental local technical support staff is available to help with installation.

Your account
A simples guide
Whether you're a shiny new driver or a seasoned roadster, Vauxhall's huge choice of cars offer something for absolutely everyone. The brand's flagship models include popular compact hatchbacks like the Astra or Adam, to roomy family favourites like the Zafira. For many first-time drivers looking for a budget-friendly runaround, the Vauxhall Corsa is a no brainer.
What should be considered when insuring a Vauxhall?
The cost of Vauxhall car insurance depends on lots of things, from personal factors such as your age and driving history, to the car model itself. Every car on the market is grouped into categories numbered from 1-50, with those at the lower end of the scale typically being the cheapest to insure. Which number your car falls under is decided by an array of factors, such as the age of the vehicle, its value, performance, security, and the cost of potential repairs.
The first decision to make is whether you want comprehensive, third party fire and theft (TPFT), or third party insurance. Third party is the minimum insurance cover, and takes care of things if you damage someone else's property or cause them injury. Third party fire and theft gives you additional protection if your car is lost to a fire or stolen. Comprehensive insurance covers all of the above, along with damage to your own vehicle too. When choosing an insurer you shouldn't just opt for the cheapest, but the one that will best suit your needs.
Looking for a Quote?
Get a new car insurance quote in seconds and start saving
The Corsa, Astra, and Zafira are among the brand's most sought after cars, all of which are available in a variety of different versions. Whether you opt for an eco-friendly model or a top spec edition boasting all the bells and whistles however, the choice you make can dramatically affect the cost of your insurance. On average however, an Astra will cost around £578.95 a year in insurance, whilst a Zafira will set you back approximately £472.16.**
(Just so you know: our averages are based on all our customer quotes, from people with different age ranges, addresses and driving histories. You may find a cheaper or more expensive quote based on your personal circumstances)
To really save some pennies on your Vauxhall car insurance, it's worth considering black box insurance. Put simply, black box insurance involves fitting a small smartphone-sized device within your car, which through the magic of GPS technology provides your insurer with accurate details of your speed, braking, cornering, and acceleration – pretty much your skill as a driver. This information allows them to assess your risk level and insure you on an individual basis, rather than a statistical one. If you're a pretty good driver in a high-risk group (for example a young driver, or someone with previous claims), it can be an excellent money saver.
Time to compare
Around 50% of our customers could save up to £242.99*** on their motor insurance, so get a quote today to see if you could be driving down the cost of your Vauxhall car insurance.

A lot has been made about the Red Sox' offseason acquisitions of Adrian Gonzalez and Carl Crawford, and for good reason. Many people have said that the 2011 season is one of the most eagerly anticipated seasons in recent history — perhaps since 2004.
Of course, the 2004 season brought plenty of excitement, as well, starting with spring training. That was the first chance for Sox fans to get their first glance of Curt Schilling in a Red Sox uniform. It also marked the beginning of the formidable 1-2 punch atop the Boston rotation with Schilling and Pedro Martinez.

JERUSALEM (Sep. 4)
Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir said Tuesday that Israel would study a Soviet proposal to convene an international conference on the Middle East, when it received details of the plan.
Shamir, speaking during a visit to a school in Jerusalem, was reacting to reports that Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze had broached the idea of such a conference to resolve the Persian Gulf crisis.
But the prime minister rejected the idea of an international conference on the Arab-Israeli conflict, as he has many times in the past. He prefers direct negotiations with Israel's Arab neighbors and local Palestinian representatives.
Shevardnadze later clarified that his suggestion had been no different from the original concept of an international peace conference on the Middle East.
Speaking in the eastern Soviet city of Vladivostok, at an international conference on the Asian-Pacific region, the Soviet foreign minister said an Israeli agreement to participate in such a conference under U.N. auspices "could exert a positive influence on the overall situation in the Middle East and on efforts to defuse the crisis" in the Gulf.
Shevardnadze also implied that the Soviet Union might consider resuming diplomatic ties with Israel if it responded positively to the conference idea.
"The Soviet Union would not leave without response an Israeli move along these lines, and might take a fresh look at the issue of Soviet-Israeli relations," he said.
Shevardnadze's advocacy of a Middle East conference at this juncture appeared to echo a proposal made by Iraqi President Saddam Hussein in the early stages of the Gulf crisis, when he tied a solution to it with resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian problem.
Hussein said last month that an Iraqi withdrawal from Kuwait should be discussed in the context of an Israeli withdrawal from territories captured in the 1967 Six-Day War and a pullout of U.S. forces from Saudi Arabia.
Shamir has repeatedly emphasized that Israel is not a party to the Gulf crisis.
Speaking Tuesday to leaders of the State of Israel Bonds Organization, he warned that if Iraq succeeded in turning the present crisis into part of the Arab-Israeli conflict, the entire Arab world would stand with Iraq. For this reason, he said, it is in Israel's best interest "not to be involved."
Shamir also reiterated his standing refusal to talk to the Palestine Liberation Organization. He told the Bonds delegates that by siding with Iraq, the PLO had demonstrated it is not a fitting partner for Middle East negotiations.
"All of us are convinced that we have to negotiate with the Palestinians," the premier said. "And I hope that by common effort and with help of the United States, we will find Palestinians who are willing to negotiate, on the basis of the Camp David agreements and the government's peace plan of May 1989."

We gave it an A-
Ostensibly, it was an interview. But when fading TV personality David Frost sat down to videotape nearly 30 hours of chat with disgraced ex-president Richard M. Nixon in 1977 (subsequently compressed into four 90-minute syndicated programs), the British-born Frost served as more than an interviewer. He became a prosecutor, wresting from Nixon a mea culpa for Watergate and turning their encounter into a cause célèbre mix of trial, bullfight, and boxing match.
For years, TV-drama writer Peter Morgan dreamed of making the showdown a play. Before he gained international attention with big-screen scripts (for The Queen and The Last King of Scotland), he managed to get Frost/Nixon, his playwriting debut, up and running in London, where it drew accolades in the 251-seat Donmar Warehouse. On Broadway it's less intimate but no less acclaimed, and still under Michael Grandage's brisk direction. So is Morgan as adept at stagecraft as he is at writing for film and TV? Not yet, given his reliance on supporting expositors who aren't really characters.
But why quibble when you've got such superb stars? Frank Langella will likely grab a Tony for bringing a puckish sense of humor to Nixon's self-pitying patter. And Michael Sheen, shamefully overlooked for a Tony nod, finds every gradation of glib fatuosity in Frost's social climbing. Catch it before Ron Howard's movie version homogenizes the whole thing.

Today's lunch was pretty boring – a salad topped with grilled chicken, with watermelon and a mini soft pretzel on the side.
So instead of sharing more about that with you, I thought I would share something a little sweeter and much more up my alley.
Like last night's dessert!
I made two recipes that I have been eager to try from two other bloggers:
1. Chocolate Chip Cookies for one from Jenny at Peanut Butter and Jenny
2. Voluminous Vanilla Ice Cream from Kate at Chocolate Covered Katie
I altered both recipes slightly but still ended up with delicious results.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Mini Cakes
For the cookies, I used whole wheat flour and my batter wasn't as thick as I would have liked for cookies.
So instead, I used a mini muffin pan and make mini chocolate chip cakes.
Tasty with a very doughy, chewy texture.
Voluminous Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
For the ice cream, I followed Katie's recipe exactly and added chocolate chips to the finished product.
The ice cream was more "icy" than I prefer so next time (like maybe tonight?!) I plan to add in a frozen banana as well to make it a little creamier.
Chocolate chip cake and chocolate chip ice cream for dessert.
Heck yeah!!

A jury has retired to consider its verdict in the trial of a teenager accused of planning a repeat of the Columbine massacre by plotting a terror attack on his former school.
The 17-year-old boy, who can not be named for legal reasons, is accused of stockpiling weapons for an assault on the school in Loughborough, east Midlands, as well as naming a sixth form college, a local mosque, cinema and council offices as potential targets.
The Old Bailey has heard that the teenager allegedly wrote in a Che Guevara notebook emblazoned with s wastikas his plans for "The New Columbine".
Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold murdered 12 students and one teacher at Columbine High School in Colorado in 1999 before both committing suicide in one of America's worst mass shootings.
The defendant, who has been diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome since his arrest in February, denies a charge of possessing items for the purpose, preparation and instigation of an act of terrorism.
They include nine partially assembled petrol bombs, a quantity of commercial firework powder, a quantity of part-assembled pipe bombs, partially constructed improvised explosive devices (IEDs), quantities of commercial pyrotechnic fuse cords, a stab proof vest, a gas mask, three 0.22 air rifles, one Olympic 0.22 blank-firing pistol and a quantity of ammunition, one 0.22 air pistol, three BB guns, a black military belt containing air gun pellets and a silver cartridge, and one note book containing information about the planning and construction of explosive devices, it is alleged.
The boy also denies one count of possessing a document or record - the Mujahideen Poisons Handbook - which contained information likely to be useful for a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism.
During the six-week trial, the defendant pleaded guilty to one count of possessing explosives in the form of component parts of IEDs, a court official has confirmed.
The teenager and two other 17-year-old boys have also pleaded guilty to two charges of possessing petrol bombs and component parts of pipe bombs for the use of explosive devices.

Jamie Hart clutches his skateboard and walks up the hill for the third time this recent morning — always back up the hill, like the myth of Sisyphus with a wooden deck and wheels.
An SUV slows down to take stock of Hart, whose long, graying ponytail peeks from the back of his helmet. Hart has set up dozens of cones in a zigzag pattern on a steep grade of Estates Drive, a makeshift slalom course in this otherwise upscale Wilhaggin neighborhood.
At the top, Hart, 62, places his skateboard on the ground, slides pads over his knees and pushes with his right foot. He takes flight, weaving between the cones with arms outstretched, hitting speeds close to 25 miles per hour, just like he did as a young man in the 1970s. At the end of his run, Hart drags a foot on the pavement to avoid launching into traffic on American River Drive.
Then it's back up the hill.
"I can do this all day long," said Hart, as sweat trickled down his cheek. "There aren't too many people my age that do this. I'm proud of it."
Sacramento may be home to cliques of aging skaters, but few riders put their bodies at risk the way Hart does with downhill skateboarding, a sport that's seen a resurgence in popularity over the past decade. This Sacramentan was one of the top competitors of slalom skateboarding in the 1970s and considered a legend of the sport.
And his wheels keep rolling. Earlier this month, Hart traveled to Texas to compete in the World Championships of Slalom Skateboarding, where he placed ninth in his class.
Hart, a retiree from the retail truck business, raced in the masters division, geared for ages 45 and up. Hart ranks as its oldest competitor, and one of its toughest. He's a veteran of such legendary downhill competitions as the Signal Hill Speed Run in Long Beach, a definitive contest from the mid-1970s that inspired a recent documentary.
"He was one of the top guys, and a nice guy and great competitor," said Mike Horelick, the co-director of "The Signal Hill Speed Run" film. "Jamie Hart, Cliff Coleman, John Hutson — anyone who knows who these guys are respects them as icons. Jamie might be the last guy from Signal Hill who's still competing."
And not just competing, but still winning, and still staying relevant. At 59, Hart won a giant slalom contest in San Luis Obispo. Concrete Wave, a skateboard magazine that covered the event, said "a historic figure re-emerged" in describing Hart's win.
In the darkened guest room of his Sierra Oaks home, Hart slides a tape into a videocassette recorder. He fixates on the screen as the grainy footage unspools.
The year is 1977. Hart is 26, sporting a bushy mustache that's straight from the "Me Decade" and some thigh-hugging shorts. He steps to the starting line at the Catalina Classic skateboard contest as cameras from ABC's "Wide World of Sports" capture the action. Host Jim Lampley narrates as Hart powers down the hill toward the finish line.
"As you watch Hart, see how smooth his style is," Lampley says. "He is the leader after two runs. He needs a time of 27.170 in order to better his overall time. As he comes through the finish, he ends up with a good run ... but I don't think his time will be quick enough."
Hart hits the "stop" button and smiles. He came in second place that day, losing by just a few tenths of a second to Hutson, another downhill skateboarding icon. Hart netted $1,800 — half of that prize winnings, and the other $900 matched by his sponsor, Santa Cruz Skateboards. The money was nice, but the "Wide World of Sports" appearance, which included pre- and post-race interviews with him, counts as one of Hart's greatest treasures.
"I was such a dark horse, and it was so unexpected," Hart said. "It was like a dream."
While street skating and aerial maneuvers from ramp and pool skating tend to dominate the sport's coverage, downhill skateboarding was once among the sport's key attractions. The Signal Hill Speed Run and other contests drew thousands, and were sometimes covered by such TV networks as ABC and CBS.
Modern street and vertical skateboarding might show off plenty of technical tricks, but no-frills speed and slalom contests, where competitors race for time, still provide plenty of thrills.
"Downhill skateboarding was supposed to be the next big thing, until people were crashing and it started to die out," Horelick said. "It's gained a lot of traction for many years. All ages compete and there's an international circuit. It's not to the level of the 1970s, but it's a growing thing, and most importantly there are a lot of great athletes."
Hart first started skating in 1963, at the height of the "sidewalk surfing" fad.
Hart has worked hard to keep fit. In addition to hiking up hills, he stays in shape mostly through cycling. He says he logged 7,500 miles on his bike last year, and hit 712 miles during September.
"My new fan base is grandparents," Hart said. "They go to these contests to watch their grandchildren compete. When they find out I'm their age and I'm doing it, and they're sitting in a chair watching, all of a sudden they're rooting for me."
His wife of 23 years, Shannon Farrell-Hart, leaves it up to him to take his lumps.
"She has no sympathy for any road rash or any of my injuries," Hart said. "She says, 'There's no fool like an old fool.'"
He knows he's lucky to be competing at all. He turns 63 in January, well past the expiration date for competitive skateboarders. But he has no plans to quit.
"I say it every time: I'm one injury away from retiring," Hart said. "And then I have the injuries and I don't retire. I just keep doing it."
But Hart's age might be one of his assets as a competitive downhill skateboarder. He has learned the intricacies of foot placement, such as treating his back foot as a rudder while he weaves between cones.
Hart also carefully considers his gear. He favors wheels that are slightly coned — like those on a NASCAR race car — and grip well in turns. Some of his skateboard set-ups cost upward of $1,000, with decks that contain carbon fiber for extra flexibility.
Hart passes on some of these tips to his 14-year-old son, Joey, who's won some downhill competitions of his own. Some tips can't be taught, but learned only by experience.
"Confidence is really important and being comfortable on the board," said Hart, who has hit speed near 60 mph on his skateboard. "It's about doing it enough to where you can jump on the board and your feet are always in the right spot."

Details of Brandi Carlile Baltimore Tickets and the Ticket Luck value
The latest generation of music lovers may be all praise for the likes of Taylor Swift as a singer songwriter extraordinaire. However, it is Brandi Carlile who has built up her sound steadily over the last decade and instead of jumping on the bandwagon being driven by a hype-ridden media, has carved her own harmonic niche, which the Brandi Carlile Baltimore MD performance will be a veritable testament to.
Brandi Carlile benefitted from the musical mentorship of her mother Teresa Carlile from an early age and then started developing her own career after dropping out from high school at age fifteen. She relocated to Seattle from her hometown of Ravensdale and it was whilst singing in the local clubs during the mid-nineties that she teamed up the Fighting Machinists made up of twin brothers Phil and Tim Hanseroth.
Brandi came into her own right in 2005 upon signing a contract with the cabalistic Columbia Records. Her self-titled debut album charted on Billboard 200 and went top-twenty on the US Rock chart, climbing to the top spot on the US Folk one. Her follow-up record The Story broke into the top-ten slot on the US Rock chart and the title song became her first and only Hot 100 single.
All last three of her studio albums have charted in the top-ten on the US Folk chart, with 2012's Bear Creek becoming her first Billboard 200 top-ten record and her second US Folk chart-topper. Snag some Brandi Carlile Baltimore MD tickets now to have your ears teased by her seductive vocals.

It's the digital love child of Roger Langille, Kevin Hokoana, and Hitesh Juneja.
Like Wade, Bosh, and James without the egos; these guys are phenomenal at their individual skills on their own and are proving that together the sum is greater than the parts.
Like a perfect storm these guys have meshed their expertise to build something unique.
…Roger, a long time eBay Power Seller doing millions of dollars a year in drop ship sales
…Kevin, a six figure earner in the network marketing space
…and Hitesh, a talented computer programmer
put together a comprehensive online video course to teach average people how to harness the power of drop shipping to earn an income from home.
Drop shipping?
Whatcu talkin bout Willis?
Drop shipping is really just buying products at a lower price and selling them to a buyer for a higher price. The ingenious part is the drop shipper (the wholesaler) inventories and ships the product to the buyer for you.
No stressin about inventorty/holding costs and zero shipping headaches.
The only thing you need to worry about is whether you should crack the Dom P or hold out for the Cristal with your profits on the sales spread.
Now if this whole concept is new to you don't stress.
The video training is literally a step by step guide designed to take someone from absolute novice with zero background to profitable and capable of earning a full time income drop shipping if they so desire.
Brand new people with zero experience are earning money online first time ever.
Typically most companies who offer an opportunity to make money online do so by paying affiliates for selling their products or services to others as well as over riding commissions on any other affiliates brought into the company.
Hey, there's nothing wrong with that.
I actually used to consistently earn hundreds of thousands of dollars in those companies before I found a more profitable business model that gave me more control and came with much less headaches.
What makes the drop ship training the bomb diggity is that the actual products purpose is to help the end user earn an income online.
Are you starting to pick up what i'm puttin down here?
Can't sell your way out of a wet paper bag? No sweat, you're good.
No one in their right mind would ever join you in a business opportunity (again)? No biggie, you're good.
Heck do you just hate dealing with people at this point? Lol no problem, you're good!
The products themselves really are the fastest, simplest path to making money online.
Peep the full product line in all it's glory:
- DS Domination Pro: In this introductory product Roger takes you by the hand through 19 modules of pure eBay crushing for beginners gold. This is Rogers fool proof playbook for earning profits with smaller items on eBay and Amazon. With Pro profits typically range between $5-$100 per item sold. With this training as well as the live webinars you get access to you can begin to implement immediately to get into profit.

- DS Domination Elite: Feel like milking a little more of that sweet commish from each of your listings? When you upgrade to Elite you will gain access to more sites to buy wholesale from as well as a scraping software tool that is going to not only make you more money but save you a lot of time. With Elite profits typically range between $100-$200 per item sold. These 10 training modules are for people who want to start to make life changing income through drop shipping.
Cost: $99/mo
- DS Domination Unleashed: This is the Fight Club of courses so naturally you won't hear a lot of people davulge what's inside. Roger spills his guts on some of his most coveted strategies that allowed him to sell millions on eBay and become an eBay Power Seller.

- Affiliate: For those wishing to participate in the affiliate side of things and market these courses to others you will need to become an affiliate. Again this is optional and not mandatory to make money online using the drop shipping strategies taught in the other courses.
Cost: $9/mo
All of these products give you access to different levels of knowledge and understanding in how to make money drop shipping.
They build on each other so take them on one by one and learn and implement as you go.
Remember this is designed for the brand new person who doesn't even know how to spell eBay.
The water is just fine, so dive in.
Compensation Plan
For those wishing to market the program to earn extra money on top your drop shipping profits there is an optional affiliate component.
You will need to purchase the product you wish to make commissions on AND pay the monthly affiliate fee to take advantage of this.
You can earn 50% commissions on any products you own as well as commission on people they refer up to 10 tiers deep.
I'll let Kevin break it down for you in this quick video!
Obviously the compensation plan is fair and works…
BUT… and this is a big but (like Kim Kardashian big)
If you don't have a consistently good track record in online marketing, have a huge list, or aren't really well networked you're barking up the wrong tree when it comes to business opportunities.
The reality is you're much better off to become a student of the business and apply the drop shipping techniques taught in the training than to try your hand at being an affiliate or building a team.
Yes I'm an affiliate and what I just said will likely hurt my income but the truth is that the team building and affiliate game are cut throat, lack control, and are close to impossible for 95% of people to even come out ahead let alone earn a significant income (check the stats).
And I'm not picking on DS (in fact they are likely one of the better ones). But this is the case with most MLM/affiliate opportunities.
My advice: make your money drop shipping and leave the affiliate side alone.
I've actually created a new 20k a month income stream doing something outside of the affiliate/mlm space that has much less competition and way more control.
If you want to see a live case study of it go here.
- A product that teaches customers how to REALLY make money online for next to nothing without recruiting or building a team of any sort.
- A solid track record and literally thousands of positive testimonials.
- A company that continues to add new training and products for their students to become profitable drop shippers.
- As good a job as the founders have done to put together a solid opportunity it's important to be aware that the company is still very young. New companies have hiccups and issues constantly and can be unstable compared to companies with long track records, cash reserves, and/or significant backing.
- Because the companies product (drop shipping) relies on external companies (eBay and Amazon) there is an element of uncertainty. It is not likely that eBay or Amazon are going anywhere anytime soon but you do need to rely on these companies among others to make your business run. If you do not operate inside these companies guidelines you could find yourself out of business.
- Drop shipping may be simple and profitable, but it still requires time and work. The product line certainly shortens the learning curve but you will still need to put in the work daily and likely have some trial and error to see a profit.
- Like most companies in the business opportunity arena the "failure" rate will no doubt be high. People will get their hopes up that they can build a big team and business only to have them dashed when they realize how much work that really takes.
The Dealio
Look, I'm an affiliate of the program, so naturally this review has a bias like everything does.
With that being said, I've tried to fairly offer you my view of the products and opportunity.
Now 99% of the time when I look at a company and their products I would say something along the lines of…
"If you like the products become a customer, if you want to create cash flow be prepared to invest some serious time and effort recruiting a team before you make a cent. If you can't recruit and build, you'll never make it so don't waste your time."
Some companies in the home business opportunity space appear to almost come up with a product as an after thought. Almost as a clever way to implement a compensation plan.
People join programs and purchase the products (whether they want them or not) to gain access to the income potential that comes as compensation for recruiting others to follow suit behind them.
I think it's absolutely refreshing that the drop ship training products here can stand on their own as legitimate training to help anyone make money online.
Someone can become a customer, go through the training, not talk to another soul about the business (online or offline) and start to immediately generate an income from home.
But remember just because you CAN make money, doesn't mean you will.
Even as a customer you need to be willing to go through all the training and implement it properly.
This still takes time, effort, and patience.
If you're looking at this from an affiliate angle you need to be willing to learn how to market if you expect to make any sort of significant income from that part of the program.
As an affiliate don't even think about joining this with an "I'm desperate and hope this is easy money" mentality.
You will need to invest the time and effort it took full time six figure marketers like me to learn how to succeed at a high level.
Get It Poppin
Alright, I know you've been waiting patiently for the warnings.
I wouldn't hold out on you homeboy/girl.
Warning 1:
I touched on this earlier but it's worth mentioning again.
Drop shipping is a great way to make money online and it is simple, but it still takes work.
It's going to take going through the training provided and implementing what you're learning with faith as you're learning it.
Like anything else that is foreign and new to you, there will likely be times when you get frustrated or confused.
The good news is it doesn't take long to move through this phase and comfortable with the process as is really evident by all the people who have never done this before who are having success.
Warning 2:
Affiliate marketing/internet marketing and building a team is tough. Really tough.
Right out the gate you're going to be competing with people (like me) who have years of experience and a skill set that takes an incredible amount of time, patience, and often money to learn.
Now I'm not here to step on your Chuck Taylor All Stars or squash your dreams.
If you're up for the challenge than make it happen captain.
But I feel inclined to tell you that there's an easier way that I believe is pound for pound a better business model.

Recent defeats to Azerbaijan and Luxembourg have left the Green and White Army languishing towards the bottom of Group F, with just six points accrued from nine matches.
The sides meet in Ramat Gan with both unable to progress from Group F and with neither having tasted success in their last three qualifiers.
Northern Ireland has won just once in its nine matches and, while Israel gained a creditable draw in Portugal on Friday, the team has won just three qualifiers - with two coming against bottom side Luxembourg and the other against Tuesday's opponent in Belfast back in March.
Michael O'Neill's men go into the game following a 2-0 defeat to Azerbaijan in Baku on Friday, in what was the home team's first win in World Cup qualifying since beating Liechtenstein in Oct. 2009.
The defeat was compounded by the injury-time dismissal of defender Jonny Evans, who will miss Tuesday's game alongside Gareth McAuley and Oliver Norwood.
O'Neill highlighted after the match just how tough Group F has been for him and his squad.
"It's another harsh lesson, the players have made it difficult for themselves in this campaign," he told the media. "I'm not going to turn around and say we've been progressing at a rate of knots. We're progressing in small steps and taking a few setbacks along the way. This was another one.
"Some of our performances have been good but we just have to live with the results and they've been poor, there's no getting away from that."
Israel will finish in third place in the pool behind Russia and Portugal regardless of the result on Tuesday, although Northern Ireland could slip to bottom with defeat or move up a place with a win.
O'Neill's men have conceded nine goals in their last three qualifiers and will be wary of Eli Guttman's side, which has scored in each of its last seven games.
Two of those came in Israel's 2-0 win over Northern Ireland at Windsor Park, with Lior Refaelov and Eden Ben Basat scoring one each in the last five minutes.

While the bulk of the media's attention has been on "The Walking Dead" and the recently revealed original plans that Frank Darabont had for the second season premiere; AMC still has two other major series to promote in "Mad Men" and "The Killing."
At the Television Critics Association winter press tour, AMC revealed that "Mad Men" will return to the network on Sunday, March 25 for its long-awaited fifth season with a two hour premiere. Seven days later on Sunday, April 1; "The Killing" will bow for its second season; which will also be a two hour premiere.
While speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, "Mad Men" creator Matthew Weiner refused to divulge much about the fifth season. But he did express his enthusiasm about the extended season premiere.
"The year doesn't really mean anything," said Weiner. "It doesn't. I'm not doing a history lesson. The thing that I'm excited about [is] I wanted to give people a big helping. I wanted a two-hour premiere. It's a 'Mad Men' movie – I don't think anyone's going to think it's two episodes spliced together. There is a story that starts in the middle of it (but otherwise) it's one story. The begging and the ending are related to each other."
Weiner also had some interesting things to say about the fourth season finale of "Mad Men" that ushered in some major changes for Don Draper and company.
"I'm going to terrify everybody here. I never have an idea when that finale is over," admitted Weiner. "I really don't. I mean, I wanted to stay within that reality but I think that the audience deserves to not have the same thing happening like this for five years (makes motion of keeping a straight line). I literally try and shake it up and dump out the milkshake and rinse out the glass and start over. And whatever happens in between and whatever happens in my life, and certainly success is something that is now everyone on the show feels this responsibility to the audience, so you get extra pressure to please. And I am a showman and I am an entertainer so I want to please that way."
Meanwhile at TVLine, "The Killing" star Mireille Enos had a message for fans discouraged that the killer of Rosie Larsen will not be revealed until the end of the second season.
"If those fans come back [for Season 2], they'll really enjoy it," said Enos. "If you loved [the journey] the first time around, why not spend more time in it?"
"[The Story] picks up the moment you left it behind, and from there the stakes just jump 500 percent," continued Enos. "The mystery just keeps unfolding and everything keeps getting more and more personal for all of these characters."
Enos also noted that her character, Detective Linden will have to deal with the apparent betrayal of her partner, Stephen Holder (Joel Kinnaman); who has seemingly falsified evidence in the Rosie Larsen case.
Which AMC show are you most looking forward to: "Mad Men" or "The Killing"? Sound off in the comment section below!

Dang, we're sweatin' over here! But it's cool. Kinda like it a little bit. Makes me excited for summer.
Soooo, I'm starting to feel skinny. It's obviously still very early in the game, but I definitely feel lighter. Bad food makes me feel bloated and heavy... but eating natural things just feels right! I noticed I don't have to suck in my stomach as much and I feel like I'm starting to just look healthier. Okay, I might just be exaggerating a bit, but it's what motivates me to keep going! I'll take what I can to keep me on track. I definitely had some headaches from sugar withdraws the other day but it's to be expected. I'm still really missing coffee. I've compteplated drinking it black, but YUCK! How could anyone ever do that!? I wish I could.. maybe I wouldn't be such a bitch to my husband...
Oh well! 27 more days to go! 3lbs gone.
What did I eat yesterday?
2 apples (morning and evening snacks)
lunch - small steak and cucumbers
dinner - small chicken breast and asparagus
|thank you!

Chicago Fed: Economic Activity Slower in October
According to the Chicago Fed's National Activity Index, September economic activity slowed from the previous month, now at -0.56. The indicator has been negative (meaning below-trend growth) for six of the past eight months, and the all-important 3-month moving average has been negative for all eight of those months and 21 of the last 27 months. Here are the opening paragraphs from the report:
Led by declines in production-related indicators, the Chicago Fed National Activity Index (CFNAI) decreased to –0.56 in October from 0.00 in September. All four broad categories of indicators that make up the index decreased from September, and only two made positive contributions to the index in October.
The index's three-month moving average, CFNAI-MA3, decreased from –0.36 in September to –0.56 in October — its eighth consecutive reading below zero. October's CFNAI-MA3 suggests that growth in national economic activity was below its historical trend. The economic growth reflected in this level of the CFNAI-MA3 suggests subdued inflationary pressure from economic activity over the coming year.
The CFNAI Diffusion Index also moved down in October, decreasing to –0.32 from –0.14 in September. Thirty-one of the 85 individual indicators made positive contributions to the CFNAI in October, while 54 made negative contributions. Thirty-three indicators improved from September to October, while 51 indicators deteriorated and one was unchanged. Of the indicators that improved, 13 made negative contributions. [Download PDF News Release]
Elsewhere in the PDF report it is noted that Hurricane Sandy negatively affected industrial production in October.
The Chicago Fed's National Activity Index (CFNAI) is a monthly indicator designed to gauge overall economic activity and related inflationary pressure. It is a composite of 85 monthly indicators as explained in this background PDF file on the Chicago Fed's website. The index is constructed so a zero value for the index indicates that the national economy is expanding at its historical trend rate of growth. Negative values indicate below-average growth, and positive values indicate above-average growth.
The first chart below shows the recent behavior of the index since 2007. The red dots show the indicator itself, which is quite noisy, together with the 3-month moving average (CFNAI-MA3), which is more useful as an indicator of the actual trend for coincident economic activity. As we can readily see, the CFNAI-MA3 trend since February of this year has been one of slow economic contraction.
For a broad historical context, here is the complete CFNAI historical series dating from March 1967.

Skipton Soroptimist Club entertained Saïda Kaddour from the Soroptimist International Club, Tunis-Ariana.
Saïda visited clubs in the Yorkshire region as a Grant of Friendship programme.
And, last Tuesday, she was welcomed by Skipton and Keighley members at the Soroptimist Rooms in Otley Street.
Audrey Swale described how the rooms were created from three derelict cottages, bought for £650, while Keighley members Susan Bartlett and Christine Anderton gave a presentation showing the work being done at Eastwood School in Keighley.
In return, Saïda gave an insight into the role of her club and the lives of women in Tunisia.
Jane Jolly, secretary of the Skipton Club acted as host for the visit, and on Thursday, 35 members and friends entertained Saïda to lunch. She had also been taken on a tour of the Dales by Maureen Pearce and Jane on Wednesday.

US to 'Closely' Follow Syrian Troop Withdrawal from Beirut
The United States said Monday it would closely follow the withdrawal of Syrian troops from Beirut, an action that appeared to have stalled Sunday, reported AFP.
"At this point, we're watching the situation closely," State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said. "We've seen ongoing but incomplete redeployments."
"These are matters for the Lebanese and the Syrian authorities to decide and coordinate on," he said, noting that the 1989 Taef accords that ended Lebanon's 15-year civil war called for a troop withdrawal as early as 1992.
Last week, Syria began the redeployment of troops that had first moved into Lebanon a year after the civil war began in 1975, although the withdrawal appeared to stall Sunday after nine positions in Beirut were evacuated.
On Monday, Syrian troops remained in at least 15 positions in the capital.
Neither the Lebanese nor Syrian governments have commented on the scope of the redeployment, announced June 14 in a Lebanese army statement.
The army said the withdrawal would last for several days.
The scaling back of Syrian troops followed stepped-up calls this year, mostly by Christian Lebanese, for Syria's estimated 27,000 troops to be withdrawn following the end of Israel's 22-year occupation of southern Lebanon in May 2000.
Within the same context, the Daily Star newspaper reported that the dismantling of Syria's intimidating military presence in Beirut and other strategically sensitive spots in Mount Lebanon offered a rare opportunity to reverse the plummeting popularity of the present administration and ease political tensions gripping the country.
President Emile Lahoud had partially regained the initiative since April, when he initiated dialogue with some of his critics, beginning with Maronite leader Nasrallah Butros Sfeir and culminating in the landmark meeting with Druze leader Walid Jumblatt last week.
The redeployment of the Syrian forces, however, provided a much-needed push for the confidence-building drive that has been marred by maneuvers to upstage the president and diminish the clout of his mandate, the paper said.
The high-profile Syrian redeployment, touted as a result of coordination between Lahoud and Syrian President Bashar Assad, was a welcome political coup.
Although the shrinking size of the Syrian army in Lebanon does not necessarily mean less political influence, it has stripped many of Lahoud's opponents of a powerful weapon, it said.
But the positive impact of the Syrian move could rapidly fade if not coupled with other steps to restore to the presidential post its traditional image as both head of state and head of the Christian community – Albawaba.com

Decorating With the Eames RAR Rocker
Decorating With the Eames RAR Rocker
Legend has it that the Eames RAR (rocking armchair rod) Rocker was designed by Charles and Ray Eames as a gift to employees who'd just given birth. Since I've seen the rocker pop up in photos of nurseries all over the Internet, I wouldn't be surprised. Anyone who's sat in an Eames Rocker knows that it's beyond comfortable — something you might not expect from a fiberglass chair. The RAR rocking chair is well over 50 years old, but it still looks as fresh as it did when it was designed for the MoMA. See some gorgeous examples of how home enthusiasts have integrated this rocker into their décor.
