Black man walking with cane arrested
Accused of casing cars for theft, he seeks body-cam evidence
Dorian Hargrove 10:30 a.m., Sept. 21
(Page 2 of 8)
If anyone is capable of ignoring the commercial hysteria at Christmas, it would be the Taoist. "In general, those aspects have nothing to do with the time and season. Those are evidences of how society has moved away from the natural path and from the deeper path of spirituality."
American Taoists celebrate Christmas, but it is greatly modified by their Eastern philosophy. "Most people find a certain balance, because in this country you're not born into a Taoist family in the same sense that the Chinese experience. So people on an individual basis come to some kind of integration of their paths, especially if they're in a family context, with their beliefs in terms of Taoism, nature, and so on. I think probably most people seem to approach it from the perspective of trying to recognize the spiritual significance of that time of year and put up with the general folderol that comes with it, and, if they have kids, to allow the children to feel a part of rather than apart from it."
Joe Schloss has been a fixture in North Park for over 50 years. Schloss moved to San Diego from New York City in 1937 at the age of nine, and shortly thereafter, his late father David opened A&B Sporting Goods in North Park. As the current owner, Schloss has been an active member of the school sporting community and Little League as well as a major supplier for many years.
Any kid who played sports in San Diego in the '50s or '60s would remember the Schlosses for their friendliness and service. Although he is Jewish, Schloss enjoys Christmas. "I don't celebrate it at home or send out any cards, but I do decorate the store. It's nice to be in an area where the spirit of Christmas is strong. It's a good time of the year. From a business standpoint, I've been around the Christmas element since 1946. Naturally, it's always been a good time of year for the retailer, although our area has changed somewhat. We're not into the retail business like we used to be because of the shopping centers. From the Jewish faith, I recognize all of my Christian friends who are very involved in the Christmas holiday.
"My dad, Dave, was the Santa Claus in the North Park Toyland Parade for probably 15 or 20 years, and not very many people knew that except for some personal friends. He used to stand at the end of the parade and people would smile and laugh and he would see people and call out their names and they'd look up like, 'How does that man know my name?' He had a great time doing that! Whether he was Jewish or gentile, it didn't matter, he really enjoyed the job."
Dr. Jefe's Body Piercing shop would seem a likely place to find alternative religions, but Jeff Fagen, its owner, is a practicing Jew. Raised in Philadelphia, Fagen, 35, has lived in San Diego for 11 years. Fagen describes his Judaism as "somewhere between Reform and Conservative. I'll go to the synagogue on holidays and Chabad dinners." Like Schloss, Fagen decorates for Christmas at work while practicing Judaism at home. "Why would I put up a Christmas tree at home? I'll decorate the store for it, for the majority of the people. It's a festive season. You know, the Christmas tree came around not because of Christ. It came around from newer civilizations and was adopted in society. Like gift giving — we'll do a gift exchange here and we'll have stockings and stocking stuffers here. I have a son, and I'm raising him in the Jewish faith. We celebrate Hanukkah — every night for eight nights — every year.
"Christmas doesn't bother me at all. Nowadays, it's so commercialized that it's really about business. You know, the parents stressing out about money for the gifts for the kids — that's not really Christmas and what Christmas is. They're thinking about their children, and the ones who don't have children are thinking about the parties. Being a business owner, I look forward to Christmas because it's usually kind of a bonus time of year for me. We're always busy then."
One of the local Jewish community's most visible spokesmen is Morris Casuto, director of the Anti-Defamation League. Casuto, 58, belongs to a Conservative synagogue and, like the other Jews interviewed, doesn't mind Christmas at all. "I may be a somewhat unusual individual — I happen to love the Christmas season! I probably own close to a dozen Christmas tapes and CDs — not 'Jingle Bells,' but the 'Oh Come All Ye Faithful' variety. I think it's among the most beautiful religious music ever written. When I was growing up in New York, before the period when we started calling this the 'Winter Season,' it was the 'Christmas Program,' and I was in a choir singing Christmas songs at public school. I could still give you a few verses of 'Adeste Fideles,' but I could never bring myself to sing the line 'Christ the Lord.' I would hum that — it was a little beyond what I was prepared to do.
"I grew up in New York City, and during the winter holiday, students were off and they had term papers to write, and I would use the 42nd Street Library for research and walk down 40 or 50 blocks in Manhattan, and it was a phenomenal experience. Last year, I was back in New York on business, but I had a chance to see the tree again at Rockefeller Center, and it seemed much smaller to me than I remembered it. My family and I have a tendency to go out and find the best-looking Christmas lights we can find around different parts of San Diego."
Although he enjoys looking at decorated homes, Casuto draws the line when it comes to nativity scenes in public parks. "We have been and continue to be troubled by sectarian religious displays on public property. I understand that there are large numbers of people, almost invariably Christian, who say there is nothing wrong with that. I wouldn't be surprised if they couldn't see what's wrong with that, because to them, it doesn't indicate that this is a Christian nation. And if it is a Christian nation — and people have said this — that somehow Christians hold a position higher on the ladder than anyone else. We've heard individuals say that you can't be as ethical or moral if you're not a Christian, and elected officials have said that if you're not a Christian, you can't go to heaven, or you'll go to hell. It doesn't particularly worry the Jewish community because we've been having a dialogue with God for 5700 years! But the impact of an elected official saying that leads one to presume that there's a possibility that belief will have an impact on how they make their decisions and interact. The Anti-Defamation League went after Senator Lieberman. We basically said, 'Hey, enough! People aren't going to be electing you because of your theology. You've made your point about who you are — now talk about the issues.' We got a lot of flak for that. When you're a member of a majority religious faith in a country, it is easy to see your religious symbols as benign. When you're a member of a minority religious faith, it is less easy to see that.

Name of Activity:
Olympic Challenge
Purpose of Activity:To work on student's fitness levels using the Presidential Fitness Testing Challenge.
Prerequisites:Students must have some knowledge of some skills such as basketball, football, and hockey.
Materials Needed:Scooters, cones, footballs, basketballs, hockey sticks and pucks, jump ropes.
Description of Idea
Assign each student a country that they will represent. Assign a homework assignment that has the student find the country's capital and population, then have them draw a flag of the country and write a paragraph about interesting health and physical activity related information that they found (good idea to collaborate with other teachers on this part of the project). On the homework assignment, you may also want to include questions relating to the Presidential physical fitness testing, such as agility, muscular endurance, muscular strength, and heart rate.
The lesson is essentially stations that include the presidential physical fitness tests as well as 4 or 5 other activities the students will perform. The activities I used were:
Basketball shot - 1 point for close shots (layup, inside the key), then 3 points for medium shots (outside the key), and 5 points for far shots (outside the 3 point line). The shooter has to get their own rebounds, and attempt to score as many points as they can.
Football toss - 1 point for close distance, 3 points for medium distance, and 5 points for long throws that hit a target. Students work with 1 ball and get their own throw after it hits or does not hit a target. Students are given points based on how they placed in each of the events. First place in an event would be 10 points, then 9 then 8 and so on and so on.
Floor hockey shot - 1 point for close distance, 3 points for medium distance, and 5 points for long throws that make a goal. Students work with 1 ball or puck and get their own rebound after each shot on goal. Students are given points based on how they placed in each of the events. First place in an event would be 10 points, then 9 then 8 and so on and so on.
Skeleton - Essentially a scooter board obstacle course that students complete while laying on their stomachs on a scooter board. This is a good activity to improve upper body strength. Students are given points based on how they placed in each of the events. First place in an event would be 10 points, then 9 then 8 and so on and so on.
Bobsledding - With a partner, one student would push another student who is sitting on a scooter board around an obstacle course. Make sure they do this safely.
Have the students work through the stations with 1-2 stations set up for fitness testing. Students keep their own scores but are observed when performing a fitness test. It's a fun way to fitness test and work in some other fitness concepts and activities at the same time.
Assessment Ideas:
Develop a rubric for grading homework.
Use this activity a couple times throughout the year so students can set goals and monitor their progress.
Teaching Suggestions:
The entire unit takes four or five class periods in which the teacher introduces the students to the first five activities, and the students perform the skills the following class for scores.
Students perform each activity for one minute and then rotate around the gymnasium from station to station.
Each student should be given an index card to record his/her own score.
Adaptations for Students with Disabilities:
Students with disabilities can participate in these activities although some stations might need to be modified.

Hi Hans! On 08/15/2006 06:27 AM, Hans wrote:
Sorry, I maybe did not ask correctly. It is not the problem, that the time is not shown correctly. The background is, that other timings are running in double speed, too (i.e. keyboard clock and some other). This is a known problem on AMD mobile processors and was discussed in earlier days. The solution of it, was to add "disable_timer_pin_1" in the boot vcommand on grub or lilo. Now I read about adding "noapictimer" should solve this, too. My question aimed to an technical answer, if the commands "disable_timer_pin_1" and "noapictimer" are doing the same, or if they both solve the mentioned problem in different ways.My hope was, someone knows, as I find there no answer in the web. Best regards Hans
First of all, which kernel version are you using??I had (as many others) the same problem with my HP laptop based on the ATI Xpress200M chipset. So, at the time of 2.6.15, I had to add "disable_timer_pin_1" to the grub parameters not to have a double timing of almost everything (but you already knew that). Now, starting with ker 2.6.16, the bug about wrong timing has been corrected directly in the kernel, so using this kernel version or above you won't need the explicit definition of that param anymore.
Hope it could help. Greetings. mfv -- Matteo Vescovi System Administrator Studio Vescovi Progettazioni

Messenger Shore is named for Oscar and Emma Messenger who built and operated a hotel, pavilion, refreshment stand and barn in this area in the early 1890's. They also rented boats, ran a paddle wheel steamboat, and cut marsh hay for those that visited by horse and buggy.
By 1910 there were 31 cottages and 41 private parcels of land on the south shore of Devil's Lake. The Messengers sold to the State in 1911, as the Park was being established. the first park manager and his wife lived in the hotel for a few years. The UW Summer Survey Camp moved from Kirkland, on the southeast shore to Messenger Shore and stayed from 1920 through 1956. They occupied tents and cabins on concrete slabs. Most were removed for construction of the nearby parking area, but a few remain near the cache area.
W. H. Canfield bought 3 acres of land about halfway down the "snake" road for an Old Settlers Association. This land was acquired by the State in 1943, and has only the remains of a 25 foot circular foundation of his "tree house" remaining. You may also see at the bottom of the "snake" road, the post for the driveway to Wildwood, which was a private lodge in the area.

This album really amazed me because it wasn't at all what I expected when I saw the symphonic black it said it was. I thought of an entirely different sound than what the final product came to be. It is arranged beautifully and is so unique and so original it leaves you wanting more after you're through listening to the whole thing.
The album opens with "Liber Angelis" and it's really a powerful start, with some orchestra in the intro and rough vocals that really gets you to like what you're getting into. In "Beyond the Haunting", the high-pitched screams and the growls alternate almost entirely except at times when they decide to collide and it sounds really, really good. "Echoes" really got my attention. It has one of the best, catchiest, and powerful riffs that I've ever heard. Also, the bass is more audible here than in most of the other songs. It's simple, but who said simple is bad?
The intro of "Godsman" is exceptional and a solo is accompanied by some keyboard scales, first rising, then dropping and finishing each section with a rhythm guitar/bass finale and ultimately, who would've known, singing during a solo? And if the song wasn't already all greatly done, it stomps at you with another solo with a clean-singing pre-solo passage. "Deciphering Darkness" actually is kinda the ballad of the album without being a ballad. It's so beautiful and the "tormented voices" at the middle of the song... indescribable. "Elemental Dance" opens up with an unexpected scream that is just as good as the remainder of the song. The riff is very cool, and some epic sounding keys along with the great lyrics are truly amazing.
"Liber Daemonis" has a drums intro that's really well-performed and the keys are as incredible as the whole album is. This track really makes the guitar and the bass stand out with a nice and short solo that sounds really good. And the closing track, "Through the Scarlet Forever", is the masterpiece of the album, the "Codex Barathri's" pinnacle of greatness. If you listen to this song while you're mad, upset, or sad, you'll end up killing someone...truly fucking amazing. Every part of this song is perfect and almost has everything you want in a song - maniac laughs, catchy riffs, terrific and terrifying growls, orchestral melancholy, a bass solo, keyboard solo, guitar solo, and, simply put, the most perfect clean vocal singing ever made.
To summarize, this is no traditional symphonic black/melodic death metal album. It so impressive because everything on the album stands out and is performed in a really original way. The vocals are a bit screamy sometimes and the bass could've stood out more, but I think if it wasn't that way, it wouldn't be the great album it is.

While it is a routine for Amitabh Bachchan to respond to his fans and interact with them on the social networking site, the actor excused himself from doing so last night. Courtesy Aaradhya Bachchan! The 'little one', who first sang for her dadaji on his birthday and later also checked on his health, has of late started mingling with Big B.
The doting grand-daughter Aaradhya Bachchan now wanted her grand-father Amitabh Bachchan to sleep early. Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's daughter Aaradhya will turn two-year-old on November 16, 2013.
"Today I seek forgiveness from personal response .. there are reasons ! Primarily an early sleep .. Love to all the TwFmXt ...!!," posted Amitabh on the micro-blogging site. He further added, "The main reason though is that the 'little one' wishes that I 'go ninni' .. !! How does one ever refuse such an order !!"
Well, though he is a legend, there is no excuse to not listen to the 'little one'!

Car shows are different in Tijuana
"You do not have to babysit the people from leaning or touching the cars."
Mike Madriaga 2:30 p.m., Sept. 19
"The thing that bothered me most was that I didn't have a dad; that bothered me a lot. I remember going to my friend's house after school and her dad coming home and meeting her and hugging her, and I'd feel real crappy about that." The woman, Grace Stevenson, 41 years old, almost 42, mother of three, now single, is speaking in a soft, determined voice. She's a petite, barrel-chested woman with short auburn hair, round face, shimmering brown eyes.
And this is Brawley, California, one of the last funk desert towns left to Imperial Valley. It's late afternoon, still hot, still building heat, jet-exhaust heat, impossibly hot, hot like a bad thing is going to happen.
One blows into town for no reason. You're taking a few days for a drive-around, a get out of San Diego drive-around, and you've been in your van all day sweating from places you didn't realize pumped sweat, and you want a break from the wheel and the bad music and the bullying heat. You feel lonely. What's required is some small talk, just a chit and a chat, something to help you out from underneath your own head.
So you find city center, stop, walk around. It could be a laundromat, a bar, a library, a church picnic, or sitting on a bench underneath a tree in the town park, but next to you is a nice lady. You look over and there's nothing sexual there. Just a nice lady and all you want is a smile, a morsel of palaver.
And so you say hello and say that you've always liked small towns like this, towns with old ratty buildings and pick-up trucks. And then, the woman begins to talk and you realize that evil has come, and your stomach tightens and you remember that evil does live in the world, something that's slipped to the back of your mind after riding a steady paycheck for a few years.
The evil brought me to a second-story apartment on the north side of Brawley. Grace Stevenson and I sit around a white oval Formica table set between her kitchen and living room. A large TV plays. Grace's 19-year-old daughter Patricia is in and out, pouring pop, fixing a sandwich, back again for more pop, back again to deposit dishes in the sink.
I gratefully accept a soft drink, ask Grace where she was born.
"I was born in Blythe, California, August 9, 1951. I had one brother and one half-sister. My brother was a year older, and my sister is 12 years younger."
"What were your parents doing when you were born?"
"They were field workers for one of the farms out there, Palo Verde. My mom was 20 and my dad was 27. They were getting a divorce when I was born."
Grace slowly rolls her head, shrugs her shoulders. "My roots are pure Mexican. My mom was the first American born on her side of the family. On my dad's side, my brother and I were the first American-born. My dad's still not a citizen. He's worked in the United States, has pretty much all my life, and is now retired from Foremost Dairy in L.A."
The air conditioner kicks in with a thump. "What was your first memory?"
"I was 18 months."
"What did you see?"
"The kitchen in my grandfather's house. Green curtains, tables by the door heading toward the living room. The refrigerator was on the right-hand side, there was a counter in front. Over towards the corner was the stove and then the sink. I was on my grandfather's lap sharing a Lucky Lager beer," Grace laughs. "He used to come home from work and like clockwork drink two beers before dinner."
"You said your parents were getting a divorce?"
"My parents were getting divorced while my mom was carrying me. My father divorced my mom, joined the service, and after he got out he went up to L.A. That's when she got into being what you call a 'fruit tramp' working in the packing sheds instead of the field."
The television is turned off. A young boy gets up from the living room floor, walks into one of the bedrooms, closes the door. Grace gazes at her hands. "When you're a fruit tramp, you build a reputation. My mom was a fast packer, and she was a clean packer. You got boxes, one layer or three layers. Everybody can pack the top layer so it's pretty, but the bottom layer, if it's dirty, people will complain when you deliver it. My mom was fast, and she was good. She packed cantaloupe, tomatoes, broccoli, asparagus.
"My half-sister came along when I was 12, and my mom was working as a secretary. She wasn't always a fruit tramp, she tried to get out of it, but there was never enough money anyplace else. There were times when we were left with a neighbor or a relative, and after a while it became necessary for us not to be moved from school to school. There were times when we stayed with other people; there were times when we went with her. When she'd go, she'd be gone three months. My mom was a very spontaneous person. She was neat."
"Where did you live from the ages of six to eight?"
"Lived at my grandfather's house, on Vine Street here in Brawley. I was eight years old when we moved over to the west side of town. Started school at Witter, first grade."
"How did you like school?"
"I liked it, I liked it a lot. The teacher was great. I can't remember her name, but I remember how pretty she was, had nice black hair. There was a boy named Monk Henley, we both had a crush on each other. We were her pets, the teacher's pets. And on the last day of school I went to kiss the teacher on one side, and he went to kiss her on the other side, and we ended up kissing each other. We both just about died! I ran home, we never even said good-bye.

So, my husband and I are traveling to Houston for the upcomnig weekend, a combination work/anniversary/visiting friends trip. We are having dinner with friends who recommended the following two restaurants: Mark's and RDG. Neither seem to fit the bill. Both have basic American /Steakhouse menus, the typical one duck, one steak, one salmon, with app of foie gras, etc. I would prefer something that has a more interesting menu....nothing French or American (although contemporary American with a twist is ok)....we love spanish/tapas, Japanese, Mexican, Vietnamese, etc.
We'd also love a great ambience, pretty venue/lighting upscale in feel or soemthing different, just nothing boring and stuffy. any price point ok, but not into $40 entrees of steak, duck, lamb and salmon. any help is greatly appreciated!

That is a goal: https://projects.scipy.org/scipy/scikits/browser/trunk/openopt/scikits/openopt/solvers/optimizers/optimizer BUT the immediate issue is: how to handle this ticket? http://projects.scipy.org/scipy/scipy/ticket/285 Are you saying, handle it like this... Keep the `brent` signature unchanged, but move the core code into a class `Brent`. The class can expose additional parameters as desired. The `brent` function will now create an instance of the `Brent` class and run it. Individuals wanting finer control over optimization parameters can create their own instance and set parameters to their heart's desire. Is that the idea? I think I like it. It would mesh with the longer term goal. Cheers, Alan Isaac PS Sorry not to know, but who is 'timl'? He should have a say here.

Ganesha is the formless Divinity – encapsulated in a magnificent form, for the benefit of the devotee. As per Hindu mythology, he is the son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati.
Gan means group. The universe is a group of atoms and different energies. This universe would be in chaos if there was no supreme law governing these diverse groups of entities.
The Lord of all these groups of atoms and energies is Ganesha.
He is the supreme consciousness that pervades all and brings order in this universe.
Ganesh is usually depicted colored red; he is pot bellied, has one tusk broken, and has four arms that may hold a noose called a pasam, an elephant goad, and a pot of rice, or his favorite sweets, laddus. His appetite for these sweets is legendary and offerings of them are often left at his shrine.
A pasam or noose is a triple twine weapon. Each of the three twines represent: 1. Arrogance and conceit, 2. Maya – the illusory nature of the real world, and 3. Ignorance.

Country songstress LeAnn Rimes strutted through Washington for the troops Tuesday night, appearing at the National Guard Youth Foundation's ChalleNGe Champions Gala in downtown D.C. Rimes wore a partially see-through all black get-up, paired with above-the-knee high heel boots. As she waited to perform (she experienced some technical difficulties) she was asked about her bold fashion choice during an impromptu Q&A. "That's a good question, I actually don't know, I usually would know," Rimes answered when the audience member asked who the boots were by. "If I took them off? That's a whole process, by the way," Rimes continued. "Getting them off is a process." The country singer performed "Nothin' Better to Do" and at least one song from her new album.
"She complained about how tough her life has been the last two years and that she poured her emotions into this song," a source who witnessed the performance told Yeas & Nays.
Rimes was kept on a pretty tight leash throughout her time in D.C. She did not do interviews and did not talk about why she supported the program once onstage. The National Guard Youth ChalleNGe gives high-school dropouts a second chance, helping 115,000 of them return to school and earn a diploma or GED since 1993.
Rimes was accompanied to Washington by husband Eddie Cibrian, though he did not attend the gala. The two were seen together having a late lunch at Georgetown's Farmers Fishers Bakers. The couple, sporting workout wear, snagged a booth by a window and shared some tuna and citrus salmon from the sushi menu as well as the meatless meatloaf and chicken jambalaya. Rimes had a house-made pineapple soda while Cibrian sipped a vanilla one.

Nineteen sixty-six: a time before computers and online catalogs when microfilm was the norm and the Cuban Heritage Collection had not yet been established. Nineteen sixty-six: the year Lesbia Orta Varona joined the staff at the University of Miami Otto G. Richter Library. She has seen the library grow and change, welcoming new technology and adapting to the evolving needs of its patrons.
Lesbia's journey with books began at an early age. She was a librarian at the national library in Havana, Cuba until 1962 when she and her husband decided to come to the States around the time when Cuban-U.S. relations broke down. Lesbia learned of an opening at Richter through her aunt, who was working at the UM library at the time.
Working part-time at the library while pursuing a bachelor's degree at UM, Lesbia eventually went on to obtain a Masters in Library Science from Florida State University after three summers of intensive study.
"Now I look at my past and I don't understand how I was able to do everything in order to achieve what I wanted. So for me it was very important to get that degree because it guaranteed in a certain way my future as a librarian," Lesbia recalls.
Starting in acquisitions, Lesbia eventually moved on to work with U.S. government publications, all while collecting Cuban books and periodicals on the side. She remembers when, as the head of the Microforms and Reserves Department, computers were finally implemented for online cataloging in the 1980s. The Cuban materials she accumulated would later become part of today's CHC collections.
A move to the 8th floor to work with Esperanza de Varona followed, and in 2003, with the help of a gift from The Goizueta Foundation, the Roberto C. Goizueta Pavilion was built on Richter's second floor to house the Cuban Heritage Collection.
After all this time, Lesbia still finds pleasure in her work as bibliographer for the collection. "I am very happy with my job. I love to meet new people. I love to be able to help the students or anybody that comes from another university or institute [with their research]. It is important to feel like you can help other people to go ahead in their endeavors."
When asked what's next for her, Lesbia laughs and says "retirement," although she's not looking forward to it.

It's like 'Doom,' but a hundred times bloodier
Back in 1993, Doom's gratuitous level of violence was quite the shocker. But, when nothing compared to what we have today, it's now positively cute. So how about an update?
In the form of a mod called Brutal Doom…
You know it's good when someone actually connected to id Software give it his thumbs up! Anyhow, include of the added 900 gallons of blood, you also have a few other modern flourishes, like the ability to zoom in on enemies on rooftops, or to flip anyone (or anything) the bird. I guess if you need to bring a game up to 2012 specs, those two things are it.

East London - Although widely distributed south of the Sahara, the serval became extinct in the Cape provinces over the last century mainly due to habitat loss, hunting and poaching.
Recently, however, private game reserves in the Eastern Cape have begun reintroducing the species in the hopes of contributing to the eventual re-establishment of these wild cats in the region.
The serval is one of 10 indigenous wild cats found in Africa. Only three other small wild cats are found in South Africa: the caracal, African wild cat and the black-footed cat. The other three species – the sand cat, golden cat and jungle cat – are found in limited areas in north and central Africa. The remaining big cats of Africa – lion, leopard and cheetah – receive much more attention than their smaller cousins.
The serval is a medium-sized cat that can weigh up to 20kg. They have particularly long legs that help them to jump up to 3m and they have been seen to catch birds in flight. They also have large ears, giving them excellent hearing and enabling them to detect prey moving underground.
The Eastern Cape area was once dominated by stock farming, but in recent decades has seen an increase in private game reserves. This is good news for wildlife predators such as jackal, caracal and even leopard, which are hunted and killed for the threat they pose to livestock. In the case of the serval, it was wiped from the area, but as private game reserves grow, so does their capacity to reintroduce indigenous wildlife to the area.
Kariega Game Reserve is one of the private game reserves in the region that recently released four servals – two male, two female. The Kariega servals were bred by the Cat Conservation Trust, an organisation specialising in the conservation of South Africa's four small wild cat species – serval, caracal, black-footed cat and wild African cat.
Before their release on Kariega, the young servals were transferred to a boma enclosure to enable them to adapt to their new surroundings, as well as to be fitted with tracking collars for effective monitoring. The two males have since been released and the females are soon to follow.
A number of other private game reserves in the Eastern Cape have also implemented serval reintroduction programmes, including Shamwari Game Reserve and the Great Fish River Reserve.

text: Cherish high school with class rings By Morgan Thomas, Valley High School April 19, 2012 Story Share Courtesy photo Class rings can bring to mind the good memories of high school as you get older. The first class rings were made for cadets at the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1835. In 1897, the first high school class rings were made. Five female friends in Minnesota wanted to have a ring made so they would never forget the friendships and good times they shared in high school."The tradition continues today," said Wendell Samson, a Jostens representative for 67 schools in West Virginia.Jostens started the tradition of class rings, making the first one in 1897. Other companies have jumped into the industry in the last 30 to 40 years."A class ring is many things," Samson said. "It's your story. [It] symbolizes your commitment to your education [and will] always tie you to a time, a place and group of people; the memories that ring will bring back are priceless. "Every time I wear my 1989 Winfield High School class ring, I smile," he added. "A flood of great memories come back to me immediately. That's what a class ring is."In the schools Samson represents, 45 percent of students purchase class rings. The national average is about 27 percent. He said it's about 50/50 when it comes to which gender is more likely to buy a class ring, and when it comes to grade, he mostly sees sophomores buying them."The reason behind that is to give the student plenty of time to enjoy the pride of wearing a class ring," he said.Class rings unite classmates because they show that you went to school together, but they are also completely unique. With Jostens, for instance, there are around 90 different styles of rings to choose from. Couple that with almost 1,000 different side panels and hundreds of stone options, and you could create literally thousands of different rings. "Every single class ring made in the world is different. No two are alike," said Samson. Jostens has a lot of practice making rings. Not only has it been making class rings for 115 years, but it also makes rings for sports championships like the Super Bowl, the World Series, the NBA Championship, the Stanley Cup, college bowl championships and NASCAR. It even makes high school championship rings."In the last three years, my office here in West Virginia has made the rings for over 90 percent of state championships in the bottom half of West Virginia," Samson said.A class ring is a must-have item from your high school experience, and that's not just salesman talk from Samson. He meets hundreds of people each year who tell him stories about how important their class ring is to them."As a teenager, sometimes things that you think aren't that big of a deal today become a huge deal when you're older," he said. "Your class ring is one of those things."Students may be interested in class rings, but nowadays they also have a lot of things to spend money on. The value of a class ring might not be obvious to them."Many times, Mom or Dad went to the same school, and the student wants to get that ring just like their parent," Samson said, "but today students are pulled between a ring, iPod, cell phone, PS3 games, the newest shoes, etcetera." But when you think of those things, what will last, what will become outdated and what will forever hold memories of your youth?"Your class ring will always take you back to the best times of your life. That's the value of a class ring," said Samson.

ROBERTO MANCINI says if Manchester City axe him then EVERY Premier League
manager should get the boot.
But the under-pressure Italian says that one FA Cup, a Prem title and
Community Shield in three years should make him just as safe as his
cross-town rival.
That is despite being 12 points adrift of Alex Ferguson's United and going out
of the Champions League at the group stage.
Mancini, whose men host Leeds in the FA Cup fifth round tomorrow, said: "We
started our project here three years ago.
"In that time we're always at the top fighting for the title.
"We won three trophies, we've the chance to win more this year.
"All the people who talk about this do not understand football.
"Because if City should sack me, the other 19 teams in the league should be
without a boss."
Despite the team's recent woes, Mancini says he still gets on well with
chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak.
He said: "I speak with Khaldoon every week. He is like me. When we lose, he's
upset. We have a good relationship."

He was born in Mt. Kisco, N.Y., and moved with his parents and his younger brother Michael to Southern California. He graduated from UCLA with a degree in history and served in the U.S. Army. He worked for a daily newspaper for only a few months before signing on with The Independent in time to help put out its first issue.
"Behind his typewriter and then his computer, he was a warrior, passionately fighting for social justice and the environment," said Independent publisher Joan Seppala. "In his 49 years with the paper, he helped to transform the Valley into a better place to live."
Mr. Several worked to curb development, such as the Save All Valley Environment Initiative in 1972. He also supported initiatives to preserve Pleasanton Ridge in 1993, as well as the Sunol Ridge, and to establish the urban growth boundaries in Pleasanton, Livermore and Alameda County.
He also wrote to support fair housing legislation in Livermore and affordable housing, plus was an advocate for Tri-Valley Haven and its work to halt domestic violence. He encouraged reaching out to members of society who might be overlooked, such as the homeless, farm workers and those with disabilities, and has been described as "making a big difference in what happened in our communities."
His editorials were described as "hopeful and inspirational," and co-workers praised him for his quiet and calm demeanor, even under deadline pressure.
Mr. Several was also an Oakland A's fan, and enjoyed painting and photography.
He is survived by his son Aaron Several and grandson Dylan of San Leandro; his son Jacob Several and granddaughter Grace of Berkeley; his mother Beatrice; his brother Michael; and his cat Shalom.
Services will be private, but there will be a public memorial commemoration at The Independent at a later date.

Microsoft disappoints markets
Some of the biggest names in America's high-tech sector unveiled their quarterly results on Thursday.
Microsoft headed the list, with profits for its fiscal fourth quarter falling well within Wall Street estimates.
However, its shares headed south in after-hours trading on Thursday after it reported flat demand in the world PC market.
Sun Microsystems, which posted a loss, also managed to beat forecasts, while PC maker Gateway reported a wider-than-expected loss.
The world's biggest maker of telecoms equipment, Nortel Networks, added to the gloom with its own hefty loss.
Only the online auction site, eBay, succeeded in delivering upbeat results.
Share slide for Microsoft
Microsoft's shares dropped nearly 5% in after-hours trading.
"We are expecting the first quarter of fiscal 2002 to experience relatively soft demand in PCs as people wait for Windows XP," said Microsoft's chief financial officer John Connors.
Windows XP, the firm's new operating system, is scheduled for a 25 October launch.
The software giant's shares, which had earlier closed at $72.57 on Nasdaq, fell to $69.20.
PC shipments
Mr Connors also said: "For the full year fiscal year, PC shipments should be in the mid-single digits.
"The first quarter [ending in September] will be flat, the last three quarters will see positive growth."
Operating profits for the fourth quarter - excluding a $2.6bn non-cash charge for underperforming investments - was $2.75bn.
This compared to profits of $2.55bn for the same period a year ago.
The figures looked less impressive with the charge stripped out, leaving the software giant with a tiny profit of $66m.
But Scott McAdams, president at McAdams Wright Ragen, branded the results as "pretty good news".
"The encouraging thing is that despite a really tough quarter these guys are still earning money and still growing the business," he said.
Sun, Gateway and Nortel
Sun Microsystems posted a fourth-quarter loss of $88m as its customers continued to cancel or delay purchases of high-power computer workstations and network servers.
The California-based company lost the equivalent of three cents per share during the three months ending 1 July, compared with a profit of $720m, or 21 cents per share, over the same period last year.
Trouble also afflicted Gateway, which reported a wider-than-expected loss for the second quarter on revenues of $1.5bn.
The company lost $9m before taxes, or two cents per share, down from earnings of $118.2m, or 36 cents per share, in the year-ago quarter.
Meanwhile, the world's biggest maker of telecoms equipment, Nortel Networks, said it lost $19.4bn in its most recent three-month period.
It blamed slowing demand for technology and telecommunications products.
Upbeat eBay
Internet auction site eBay bucked the dot.com trend with an upbeat set of results.
Ebay said it earned $24.6m, or nine cents per diluted share, in the quarter.
Ebay shares jumped in after-hours trading, as investors reacted positively to the news.
"We're seeing sustained growth across categories, trading formats, and in our international operations," eBay Chief Executive Meg Whitman said in a statement.
The company said its revenues rose to $180.9m from $98.2m in the same quarter a year ago.
Revenues were well above most analyst forecasts for second-quarter sales of about $165m.

So... this is a "solo" tab, but... where's the solo?
This is actually really accurate. I'll admit it's definitely not detailed, but the tab is accurate, and if you play the chords based off of the root notes for the second guitar I bet it would sound great.

Jerusalem (Jun. 15)
Labor Party leaders accused Likud today of deliberately inciting violence at Labor election rallies to frighten people away from them. Two of the worst incidents occurred last night. In Petach Tikva, a mob of youths shouting "Begin, Begin," disrupted a rally for Labor Party chairman Shimon Peres, set fire to garbage cans and hurled rocks through the windows of the local branch of Mapam, Labor's Alignment partner.
In Ashkelon, a rally for Laborite Abba Eban was the target of similar rowdyism and the speaker had to call for police protection.
At a press conference, Peres declared that he "no longer regards the Cabinet as Israel's government but as the election campaign headquarters of Likud." He was referring to a statement released after last Sunday's Cabinet meeting alleging that Labor criticism of Israel's air attack on an Iraqi nuclear reactor June 7 had encouraged other countries to condemn Israel. Peres also accused Begin of inspiring the violent outbursts that have occurred with increasing frequency at Labor Party rallies.
"Begin is mistaken if he thinks he can frighten us," Peres said. He referred to Likud's tactics as "Khomeinism" and "personality cult" and charged that Likud was "trying to create an atmosphere wherein if you don't chant 'Begin, Begin' you are almost a subversive element." He charged that anti-Labor rabble rousers were bussed in by Likud and were paid to disrupt Labor meetings.
At a press conference of his own later, Begin flatly rejected the charges. Justice Minister Moshe Nissim who head's Likud's campaign information headquarters said his party "utterly condemns" violence of any kind. Nevertheless, Begin issued a call to all Likud members and supporters to refrain from violent disturbances at the election rallies of all parties.

Indiana Hoosiers: Could Cody Zeller Be Best Hoosier Ever?October 24, 2012
It may be too early to be having this kind of talk, but it's a legit question.
Is Cody Zeller going to go down as the best player to ever put on an Indiana Hoosiers uniform?
Many will point to legends like Steve Alford, Calbert Cheaney, Damon Bailey, Scott May, Kent Benson, or Isiah Thomas as all-time greats. After this season, Zeller may join the conversation and actually pass them.
All of those players were fantastic. I'm not going to dispute that. It's a coin toss to who the best Hoosier player ever was. You can make a strong argument for any of these guys. Zeller, though, is a special player, and if the Hoosiers are hoisting the National Championship trophy on the Georgia Dome's floor in April, he could be No. 1.
Zeller had a freshman season arguably better than any Hoosier out there. He averaged a fantastic 15.6 points per game in 28.5 minutes per contest. I believe those numbers will actually go up a little bit this season.
The reason why is that he didn't get as many touches as Hoosier fans would have liked. When he did touch the ball, he was nearly automatic. He shot 62.3 percent from the field and an even better 75.5 percent from the line. He's the most improved player from last year's team and he's even grown another inch to become a seven-footer.
Indiana recognizes he's their main guy. His touches are sure to go up with a legit point guard in Bloomington now as Yogi Ferrell and Zeller have a great history of playing with each other. Zeller has improved his jump shot even more; he won the shooting contest on Saturday night in Hoosier Hysteria.
He was nearly automatic from three-point range, and that will be detrimental to his opponents.
Think about it: Zeller is going to be drawing guys his size, if not smaller and less athletic. No one could stop him in the post last year, and he's gotten stronger and better in the offseason. That means it's going to be even tougher to defend him down there this year.
Add a new element of an outside game and he's unguardable.
There's no way a center can guard Zeller outside of the lane. Zeller can drive past them with ease or even get good looks as they won't want to get up in him. That can help pick and rolls or pick and spots tremendously. If you don't help on Zeller, Ferrell will punish teams. If you do slide over and hedge Ferrell, he's talented enough to find Zeller in a spot or roll to the basket.
Good luck to those teams.
Zeller is going to be the most dominant player on the floor in nearly every game. He can beat opponents in ever fashion. If he's this improved and only a sophomore, what's he going to be next year if he comes back?
He's the sole reason why Indiana is back to relevance. If Zeller doesn't commit, neither does the rest of the movement. I'll give them maybe a couple to end up in Bloomington, but not this whole all-star cast. Zeller is going to make them all better and is the glue to this team. His presence makes teams have to not help as much on other Hoosier players.
That makes it so difficult.
After this season, Zeller could run for governor of Indiana and he'd win in a landslide. Imagine if he comes back for more. Imagine if Indiana wins the national title in April (they're the clear favorite) and Zeller comes back. He could do something that no other Hoosier has ever done: win two national titles.
He could be bigger than Peyton Manning and Reggie Miller combined if he can help Indiana accomplish that feat.

UK Law
Get UK Law Questions Answered by Verified Experts
I agree to divorce but not on her allegations and she does not want to split the assets and she committed adultery. The are no children and we have been married for 7 years. I just want that the assets are split and that she participates to the household. How do I express that: with a letter? Do you suggest I do not reply to the allegation and do not mention the adultery? That does not seem very efficient to defend my position.
I understand, so, in summary: 1) I agree to the divorce but disagree on part of her petition because of her allegations and because she does not want a financial order (do I say "I defend the case"?) 2) I ask the court to proceed to a financial settlement and I explain the reasons 3) I pay £245 for this. Can I do this by mail in responding to the petition? Thanks
OK I will accept to divorce without comments. So I must wait until the decree nisi to apply for a financial order or can I send that with the petition approval?
Also can I change court for the financial order because she applied 200 miles from where I live.
Thank you again. To end I will proceed with a financial order. My question is : do I join a letter to that to explain my estimate of my assets versus hers? She sold her apartment in South Africa (!) just before asking for divorce and paid it because she never participated to our household. How far do I have to detail all this? must I join already my bank statements etc?
ps: I will rate you excellent :)
Hi No need to send a letter - just send the form in (and the fee) and you will start off a process which involves a Form setting out all the assets you each have. If you wish to try and avoid the expense of a court application you can try and discuss matters with her using Family Mediation (www.familymediationhelpline.co.uk) Claire

The city shaken by a shooting rampage that killed six people and left 14 injured came together at a church Tuesday to mourn the victims, including a 9-year-old girl who sang in the choir.
Tucson Bishop Gerald Kicanas presided over the first official tribute to the victims at St. Odilia Catholic Church. The Diocese called the service a "Mass of healing for our community."
Several hundred mourners filled the church as nine young girls sang "Amazing Grace." A crucifix hung from a white block wall behind the altar, adorned with a few lit candles and red poinsettias on the steps leading to it. Children, some in their Sunday best, arrived with their parents. Some adults sat alone.
Yvonne Ignacio, 53, went to the Mass after learning about the shooting while she was listening to a conservative talk radio Saturday.
"I am dismayed that it's become political. That's disrespectful to the victims and that's why we're here," said Ignacio, who is a Tea Party member.
Her husband, Chuck Bolotin, 53, agreed: "I did everything I could to defeat her and yet it doesn't make a difference. It doesn't mean she deserves to be shot."
The modern turquoise-and-white church is only blocks from Saturday's attack outside a Tucson grocery store. Police have said Jared Lee Loughner, 22, fired on the crowd gathered at an event hosted by Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who was shot in the head. Piles of flowers, balloons and signs festooned the entrance to the hospital where Giffords is in critical condition.
President Barack Obama has called the shooting a tragedy for the entire country.
The youngest person killed in the shooting spree, Christina-Taylor Green, was baptized at the church and sang there, said Elizabeth Okonya, who works at the church.
Green was elected to student council and went to see Giffords because of her interest in government. She was featured in a book about babies born on Sept. 11, 2001.
Dozens of sheriff's deputies on motorcycles and in squad cars surrounded the church before the Mass was scheduled to begin. About a block away, TV crews were filming after being escorted into a restricted area, away from mourners. The Pima County Sheriff's Department said media would not be allowed on church property.
Loughner has been charged with attempted assassination of Giffords, who is at a Tucson hospital after being shot in the head. Loughner also was charged with two counts of killing an employee of the federal government and two counts of attempting to kill a federal employee.
Associated Press writer Julie Watson in Phoenix contributed to this report.

Liz Lark Brown Wins '2009 METROSTAR TALENT CHALLENGE'
On Monday August 31, Liz Lark Brown eked out a win in the exciting finale of the second annual "MetroStar Talent Challenge" at The Metropolitan Room, beating out Danielle Grabianowski (the first runner-up) and Carole Bufford, who was chosen as the second runner-up. Brown, who, in a sweet twist of fate, was last year's grand prize winner Anne Steele's back-up singer, combined both understated charm and a flair for the dramatic that earned consistently high marks during the eight-week jury and audience-voted singers' competition. The two other finalists, who went head to head against the three top ladies, were the competition's highest-achieving men, Cornelius Bates, and David Gurland.
Each of the five finalists performed a pair of songs, while Lennie Watts, the contest's playfully jaundiced host pulled out all the stops by welcoming several popular singers as bonus performers. Among the added treats were Jay Rogers, Baby Jane Dexter, and Klea Blackhurst. Watts, who sang two songs himself, also brought back last year's winners - Nesha Ward and Stearns Matthews (the runner-ups) and Ms. Steele, who graciously passed the torch at the conclusion of the 2-hour long finale. Playing for the singers throughout the contest was the quick-plinking and genial music director Nate Buccieri.
For the finale, the critic Roy Sander (the jury chairman throughout the contest), was joined at the judge's bench by the award-winning vocalist Klea Blackhurst (who was a core judge during the contest's three trial rounds); the singer, actor and director Eric Michael Gillett; and radio personality Valerie Smaldone. The other judges for the contest were Allan Harris, Baby Jane Dexter, Julie Reyburn, Ricky Ritzel, Marni Nixon, Jay Rogers, and Mary Foster Conklin, and the media personalities Rob Lester, and Bill Boggs.
The five finalists, who were praised for being so evenly matched by a number of the judges and by numerous audience members, were the last ones standing from an initial pool of more than 60 solo singers. The eight-week, jury and audience-voted elimination-round competition began on July 13.
For Brown the Metropolitan Room will produce and present a week-long, prime-time engagement in the winter, plus a multi-track "Live at The Metropolitan Room" recording of the new show. The recording will be produced by JP Perreaux, who ran sound and lights for "MetroStar." Bufford and Grabianowski will open for Brown on alternating nights during the run, and receive demo recordings of their appearances. MetroStar's career-boosting package of prizes and professional encouragements is worth over $15,000.
Open to performers of all ages and backgrounds who have not played a major engagement at The Metropolitan Room, "MetroStar" encourages singers to present well-rounded stage performances in which creativity, innovation and authenticity are prized over vocal fireworks.
For all the latest "MetroStar Talent Challenge" information, consult the club's Web site at www.metropolitanroom.com Rated "Best of New York" by New York Magazine, the Nightlife and Bistro Award-winning Metropolitan Room, 34 West 22nd Street, celebrated its third anniversary in May.
