South African Paralympic champion Oscar Pistorius was planning a future with the girlfriend he is accused of shooting dead last week, his uncle said yesterday.
Pistorius, 26, known as the "Blade Runner", was charged on Friday with murdering model and law graduate Reeva Steenkamp in the early hours of the previous day.
He broke down during a 40-minute bail hearing at a Pretoria court, but was not asked to enter a plea.

"They had plans together and Oscar was happier in his private life than he had been for a long time," Anthony Pistorius said in a statement released by his nephew's agent. "We are in a state of total shock – firstly about the tragic death of Reeva, who we had all got to know well and care for deeply over the last few months. All of us saw at first hand how close she had become to Oscar during that time and how happy they were."
The suggestion runs counter to comments made by the athlete's father, Henke, who was quoted in the New York Times as saying he had never met his son's partner: "I don't discuss my son's relationships. I have, in fact, not met the lady."
Prosecutors alleged the shooting was premeditated, a charge that could put Pistorius behind bars for life if he is convicted.
Police have said there are no other suspects and the pair were the only people in the house at the time.
Initial reports suggested he may have mistaken her for an intruder.
Anthony Pistorius reiterated the family's belief that the track star – a double amputee who became one of the biggest names in world athletics when he ran at last year's London Olympics – had not shot Steenkamp deliberately.
He said: "We have no doubt there is no substance to the allegation and that the state's own case - strongly refutes any possibility of a premeditated murder, or indeed any murder at all."
Pistorius is being held in a Pretoria police station before the resumption of his bail hearing on Tuesday. He is "numb" with shock and grief, the statement said.
Several South African media reports have said Steenkamp was shot through the bathroom door and was hit four times.
Police said on Thursday that witnesses had heard disturbances at the home before the shots, adding there had been previous incidents of a "domestic nature" at the home.
Although the public image was of an easy-going young man, a Twitter posting by Pistorius in November paints the picture of a would-be action man obsessed with security.
"Nothing like getting home to hear the washing machine on and thinking its an intruder to go into full combat recon mode into the pantry! waa," read the tweet.
Meanwhile, South African state broadcaster SABC said it will air the first episode of a reality show featuring Steenkamp that was filmed last year in the Caribbean.
Her cousin, Sharon Steenkamp, said the family had not been consulted but they were not against it being aired because she "was proud of being in the show".
Steenkamp's uncle, Mike Steenkamp, said there would be a memorial service for Reeva in her home town of Port Elizabeth.

And, wink-wink, I think he also realizes that V was wrong just as often as he was right.
No, I don't think that this is the case. I don't believe that this tendency is human instinct. If it is then apparently I'm not human and I'd like to believe that this is not the case
I've said it a lot of times and I'll say it again. Everyone has the right to voice their opinion. Different opinions are natural and I believe that disagreement is good for the board as a whole.
I just don't believe that we're using our disagreements the right way. Instead of discussing about them we end up arguing. There is a difference between discussion and arguing.
About your Granger point now. Some people have proved over time that they dislike Granger, no matter what. Others have proved that they dislike Lance. I don't get why anyone would dislike any current or former Pacer but that's just me. Everyone has the right to like or dislike a certain player. I just don't get why we have to argue about one's personal likes and dislikes. That's the issue here.
I really don't believe this, my friend. This day will come soon and I'm almost certain that we'll still see someone complain about something.
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.
Couple phrases that get people going are, "Did you even watch the game?" "I don't think you understand basketball." "You are crazy" Ganging up on people generally brings out hostile emotions as well. (I know I am guilty of this as well)
Calling someone a homer, a pessimist, or any other thing that isn't considered a perfect poster gets people going as well. I do wish conversations were generally more civil.
I really don't think RealGm is all that much better. The over-moderation there helps a little bit I guess, but the General NBA thread gets heated quite consistently. Obviously, you are a mod there. What are your opinions on it?
There is no NBA player named Monte Ellis.
You didn't realize there was haberno in your salsa?
Or, maybe the Ben-gay crept a little north of your knees?
They warned me about those ****ing ghost chilis...
Nah, I watched the first half. I'm upset I missed the end of the game with The Villain running the point. I love winning. I love mocking people that aren't satisfied with winning even more.
While of course I want us to win every single game, AND by double digits, statistically its almost damn near impossible.......As long as we are winning the good majority of our games and hold onto that #1 seed in the East, I would rather we DIDN'T expand all of our energy further risking potential injuries to ANY of our roster...
There are some people who seem to think that just because half of the teams in the NBA that we play against have horrible records, that we should just walk in and claim victory without much resistance...
That, and comments like "oh they are just a bunch of scrubs" and etc. ... and that they should just lay down and concede victory to the Pacers...
Even the worst players in the bottom half of the NBA are pretty damn good.. Good enough in fact , in at least a few areas of basketball to have made it through H.S., gain a PAID scholarship to play in College.. and THEN to get either drafted into the NBA or signed to a 6 or 7 digit contract to either play or sit on the bench as "injury insurance" ...
I don't care how "elite" or how "bottom of the barrel" a team is in the National Basketball Association , because ANY TEAM can claim victory over ANY other team on any given night...
Like I was saying though, I would rather the Pacers work out their kinks and bad habits NOW, while continuing to strengthen both their team chemistry & individual chemistry/familiarity with one another learning each other's nuances while tightening up their game......... I'd rather they NOT completely wear themselves down the closer we get to the playoffs , trying to get blowout wins on every team..
I mean yea, sure, absolutely... blowout wins are nice for bragging rights and all.............. don't get me wrong.... But as a fan actually watching every game, blowouts are usually REALLY boring games to watch , with very little .... to no excitement for me as a fan viewing them ... Fairly close games where the teams are anywhere within 5-10 points of one another, or neck and neck down to the wire ARE the most stressful YES .... BUT, those are the games , as a fan, that I get the most satisfaction from when we do claim a victory through a hard fought battle...
...... As long as we are winning and closing out every game like we are supposed to, I would also rather they DO have close wins over other teams from time to time... REGARDLESS of what team they are playing... Because IMO , they NEED to be put through those situations where they sometimes have to claw their way back from a deficit , or execute game-winning plays while showing solid decision making at the end of the game in order to put a checkmark in the WIN column ....................... Not only for the team itself, but for Coach Vogel it gains invaluable end of game experience we are gonna absolutely NEED in order to close these playoff games out...
It builds "WINNING-TIME" habits ....
So that when the NBA PLAYOFFS begin, we can do our best Hawk impersonation, "flip the hat backwards" and flip that switch on to take our game to another level/gear ...
"They want to be famous. We want to be champions. They want to be rappers and backup dancers. We want to play football." - T.J. Ward, Denver Broncos
I don't see why being called homer is considered an insult. I have no problem with it
The General NBA board in RealGM attracts every kind of poster. You have some very good posters but you also get plenty of trolls. That's why over-moderation is necessary there. Trolls must be dealt with quickly before they bait regular posters into violating the board rules. PD has the advantage of not having a lot of trolls since we all support the same team. That's why the average quality of a poster here is higher than RealGM's General NBA board. We're not swarmed by trolls that bring the overall quality down like RealGM.
But there's still a problem here. We don't have trolls that incite fighting but yet we still fight among ourselves. That's what I don't get. I mean, I have no issue when a fan of another team argues with me about the Pacers. It's fine, I don't care about what he says enough since I know my team. But when two Pacer fans argue with each other I just don't get it. I guess that I just get confused about it

I'm tired of these never ending gripes about close wins against scrubs.
It could just be me, of course. It's possible that I'm just overreacting

The three wing lineup that we are able to put out there now, all of whom are primarily shot creators, is what Isiah Thomas envisioned when running the offense that he called the Quick. He simply never had the personnel capable of playing it, yet stubbornly clung to it like JOB later clung to "spacing the floor" using a "stretch 4" and shooting 3's in order to create space for Hibbert to work offensively despite not having the personnel to make it work.
Hopefully we don't devolve to actually truly running the Quick. Our offense is unstructured enough as it is.
I haven't really been able to follow the Pacers in the last couple of weeks. That Celtics game tonight was only the third game I watched this year. However, two things that come to my mind:
1. Listening to Thommy Heinsohn is not fun at all. I understand that the announcers of the home team root for their team and I'm ok with that (Denari and Buckner do it as well), but all to a certain degree, please. Summarizing the game in Heinsohn's eyes: the Celtics are awesome and the Pacers actually should have been fouled out at halftime.
2. As I said, I couldn't really follow the NBA in the last weeks. Technically speaking: will it be possible to keep both Turner and Stephenson without giving up either Hill, George, West or Hibbert?
Rajon did his thing, Humphries played inspired (!) defense, and the Celtics' ability to hit jumpers today represented likely their most anomalous game of the season. Opposite from the Bucks game, the Celts had big scoring quarters in the first and third quarters, mostly because of the accuracy of Green, Bass, and Bayless. Good to see the bench put up solid shooting numbers. Neither Sloan nor CJ flourished in their roles tonight. Roy was a force, but he offensive-fouled like a mother****er out there. Btw, Turner copped to some iffy decision making in the Brooke post game interview. Luis' dunk was the balls.
Ian Report: He got screwed out of a block on Humphries (?) in the fourth quarter. He is actually credited for a block in the box score, though I have no idea what it was. He had a lot to deal with considering Rondo's deft penetrating, and he handled himself well. He also made a balletic move to finish a scoop shot on a mostly ill-advised pass from Turner. I almost never dock Ian points for not scoring, but this is the second straight game with no free throw attempts and I think he has to be more available, even if it's creating his own opportunities against Hump and Sully. This was a prototypical Mahinmi outing. 'B'
I can't remember who it was, but a guard drove baseline and threw up a shot that looked like Ian blocked that went off the side of the backboard and out of bounds. Could have been that play they gave him the block.

Paul George 4-5 from the FT line tonight. He went 56 of 58 for 96% in February. He's getting to that Durant level where it's shocking if he misses a free throw.
The difference between Quinn Buckner and Tommy Heinsohn is that Buckner thinks the refs are almost always right while Heinsohn thinks no Celtic has ever committed a foul or missed a shot without being fouled.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Or throw in a first-round pick and flip it for a max-level point guard...
Around roughly the ASB i was a bit annoyed by eking out wins over poor teams. Now I say just win baby. I mean the Celtics and Bucks these two are just playing way over their heads. If they play like crap and we don't beat them, that's completely different. Turner wasn't perfect, but he was damn good. No offense to DG - deserves great respect for what he did here - but we are much better off right now with ET. Absolutely sensational deal by Bird.
I'd rather die standing up than live on my knees.
-Emiliano Zapata
Still am surprised that DG could be turned into Evan Turner. Danny was still in recovery mode and not playing like he may eventually.
Technically, it is possible.....but only if the Pacers go over the LT....and/or BOTH Lance and Turner takes a significant pay cut....both of which are 2 unlikely scenarios.
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
And not just threes, but LONG threes. Significantly behind the line.
This space for rent.
I love Danny, but I agree. I never wanted to see a PG / Danny / Lance lineup out there, but I was pleasantly surprised with PG / Lance / ET.
This space for rent.
One more comment if I may. The way Vogel used Turner was a combination of good coaching and good circumstances, IMO. We have a new player whose strength is ball handling and being able to create shots, we played a team we were going to beat, what better time to experiment with Turner at the Point and with differing lineups? Bird and Vogel are slowly bringing the Pacers to a team that doesn't have pigeon holed positions (except Centers) and more to basketball players who can play multiple positions as they are needed. I expect Frank to get the focus back to shut down defense by the end of this month. We are relying on being able to beat some teams right now with our offense.
Yeah, I mostly agree with this. I start to get a little uneasy when he misses a couple in a row, but overall I think it's a good thing so long as he keeps his FG% high. I think at one point he was 6/9 before he started to cool off.
So my question is: Will see the the ET/LS/PG backcourt again, and if so, how often? I think the answer is 'almost certainly' but it's the how often that I'm not so sure of.
I'll be honest, and I free admit it's very early, but on the surface I prefer ET at that spot to George Hill, and I realize that's going to be an unpopular thing to say, but IMO Hill is no more of a PG than Turner is, but I happen to like Turner's game more than I like Hill's so in an offense that doesn't really ask for a traditional point guard, I'd prefer ET, but that's just me. ET's play (or Hill's for that matter) could change my feelings later.

Ak 47 and sks ownership in ct?
I've been looking at all of these yugoslavian sks's for sale and I want one. But is it legal here in CT?
Yes, you could find them at the local toy shops...
Do some research online
Sks is legal to own in ct. Ak is a bit sketchy. Technically you can go buy a brand new "ak" as long as it isn't chambered in 7.62x39
What is a SKS worth in CT?
Unanswerable question. I have seen them priced at $500 I've seen them priced at $300. I wouldn't personally spend $500 on one, but that's just me.
CTSHOOTER is right, they are legal (for time being in CT for now) I own a few including a yugo with the grenade launcher. It is classified as a curio and relic by the batfe, thats how I got mine. Years ago I could pick one up for anywhere from a hundred to two hundred bucks in excellant condition, now, good luck. lot of fun to shoot, especially when there was an endless/cheap supply of ammo to be had.

- Laser Genesis: an Infrared Laser Skin Rejuvenation Treatment
Laser Genesis is a really nice treatment option for mainly building collagen, smoothing the skin by taking away redness, helping with fine lines and wrinkles and pore size that doesn't have a lot of downtime. There are a lot of really nice laser options out there these days like Fraxel that do have downtime and some people just cannot afford to take the time off work or are afraid of the pain or the peeling or the redness. Laser Genesis actually feels really nice. It works using infrared energy that warms the skin and causes pores to shrink and is a really actually nice feeling facial. You can combine Laser Genesis with IPL to help with brown spots and pigmentation which is what's called photofacial.

State says Scott Wagman's house party invite not illegal
ST. PETERSBURG- The Florida Elections Commission has cleared mayoral hopeful Scott Wagman of any wrongdoing for a supporter's failure to put the proper political disclaimer on a house party invitation.
Mark S. Adams, 30, of St. Petersburg filed the complaint on the same day Bay Buzz wrote about the questionable invite to lawyer Lucas Fleming's house for a meet and greet with Wagman. Fleming created the invite, using Wagman's campaign logo. The invite did not have a political disclaimer as required by state law.
"The complaint is legally insufficient because it appears that the invitation was created and paid for by someone other than Respondent's campaign," Charles A. Finkel, interim executive director of the elections commission, wrote this week.
Adams has 14 days to appeal. We have no clue what Adams does or if he is tied to anyone's campaign, so if you do, let us know.

It is undoubtedly, one of the most ambitious and intriguing games on the PlayStation 3. It is LittleBigPlanet by Media Molecule. Part platformer, part multiplayer madness, LittleBigPlanet promises to deliver a one of a kind experience for any console with it's "choose your own adventure" style gameplay. Make your own levels, play a friend's levels, everything is customizable and easy with the built in level editor. In fact, of the 30 minutes of hands on time that I got with LittleBigPlanet one of those levels was, at least, according to the person walking me through the game, constructed in five minutes.
LittleBigPlanet looks to be one of the most visually stimulating games on the PlayStation 3 simply because a vast majority of the objects that you're interacting with look like they might in the real world, complete with textures and all. The art style is so unlike most games that have come before it that it's really incredible to think that a game can look this good. This could be the one PS3 game that really showcases exactly what the system can do. You know what I mean, the game that you show off to your friends when they come over and ask, "Ooh, is that a PS3? Is it really that much better than an Xbox 360?". Then you show them LittleBigPlanet and they'll be all impressed and become a believer.
That said, in all honesty this is a game really dependent on your own creativity. While that could be a huge bonus for some, it could also provide a huge turn off for others. Think of those old "Choose Your Own Adventure" books, now imagine having to write one of those. It's really not the same as just opening up a book that someone else wrote for your enjoyment. I suppose that's where the collective gaming community steps in because you'll have access to all the content that they create and share. You should be able to see some awesome creativity from people just like yourself, though, you'll probably have to sift through some of the less than stellar stuff before you find it.
Either way, if the small glimpse that I caught of LittleBigPlanet can live up to all the hype that it's received in the past year and a half then PlayStation 3 owners will be in for a game unlike anything that's ever been seen or experienced on a console before.

How easy were the controls to use in LittleBigPlanet?
Moving Sackboy around looks like it will be the same as any other side-scrolling action adventure game, but how easy is it to select things and place them in the environment?
Will it be easy to place new things on the level and arrange them where you want them or will it require a lot of patience and skill to move the objects and to get them in the correct place?
How does LittleBigPlanet's level creation tools compare to any other level editors you have use in the past maybe in Tony Hawk Pro Skater, a roller coaster or train simulator, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Excitebike or any other game that might have had a level creator that you have played around with?

I got to play LBP at PAX and have a slightly different take on the game. I think people will be able to get by just fine with this game even if they never plan to create and/or download any levels. The 50+ levels that are going to ship on the disc are much more substantial than I think a lot of people are giving them credit for.
While I think someone ruling out creating levels/items and downloading stuff will REALLY be missing out on a gold mine of entertainment possibilities, I don't think your statement "this is a game really dependent on your own creativity" accurately describes the game. I think it's going to be a triple threat. What you get on the disc will be worth the price of admission, the creativity it will allow will suck you in, and the content the TRULY creative generate will likely end up blowing us all away. People that take advantage of any one of those aspects of the game will likely get their money's worth.

You have to keep in mind that at its heart it's a pure platformer and they tend to get boring after a while if the dev's don't mix it up. While I don't doubt that this will end up being a good game, I also don't doubt that this could very well be the next big overhyped game to find its way into the trade-in bin at your local Gamestop en masse. You can only keep the excitement of jumping from a ledge to an orange suspended on a ball of yarn back to a higher ledge for so long. After that you better do something different to keep the average gamers interest otherwise it'll be on to the next game.

text: Season 1: David Carr showed that he had some promise and could be a great NFL QB... if not maybe even a Legend. How many guys do you know who could take 76 sacks and get back up after each one? Season2: Stricken with injuries it was hard to tell if he could be a force. The season went desent for a two year expansion team. Season3: The would-be legend became a mediocure QB with bad instincts for reading a defense. He couldn't put the numbers on the board, reverted to the side-arm sling he aquired in College, and forgot what a pocket was for. Season4: After 2 games, mediocure became forgettable. Forgettable in the fact that after he leaves the Texans (and the NFL) I will hopefully forget his pollution of the game he left behind. Do I even need to point out the obvious follies in the game today? The delay of game penalties (which rest solely on the back of the QB), over throwing recievers (especially in the endzone), should I go on? This team has fallen apart. Carr is no longer the 'great white hope'. Again, I say Face It... This is a broken down Carr on the side of the road. Lets take it to the junk heap, have it scrapped. It's time for a new driver... ~Proteus

Have Parenting Questions? Ask a Parenting Counselor for Answers
Thank you for replying and you can reply at your convenience. I understand a hetic schedule. I was thinking about a private school versus public school and which wouls be better. He does have a IEP plan in place. I have a meeting on May 18th with the IEP team and the school district, is there anything I should ask and do you think it's okay if I ask to meet with the aid that they may appoint to him?
The other question is do you know of a charity maybe that will help me fund some learning devices so I can keep him up to speed during the summer months until school starts? I am just trying everything I can think of. I want the best for him.

Nails are one of the hottest fashion statements right now. If painting yours seems too much hassle, here's how to get your best and easiest manicure yet.
STEP ONE – Tidy
Deal to ragged cuticles before you do anything else. Steer clear of cuticle nippers as it's easy to overdo things and risk damage. Instead, use an exfoliating product such as Sally Hansen's Cuticle Eraser & Balm $18.99 – it's effective and fast. You can also gently push back cuticles if they need a little extra help.
STEP TWO – Buff
Just like painting a wall, the secret to great nails is all in the preparation. The very first step is to lightly buff to give an even surface for the lacquer to stick to. Try using the smoothing side of the QVS 4 Way Buffing Block $10.99. Don't be tempted to over-buff. Any more than once a week will weaken nails.
STEP THREE – Wipe
Remove any natural oils or cuticle cream from your nails. Simply swipe with a cotton wool pad soaked in nail polish remover. Or for convenience use Revitanail's Conditioning Removing Wipes $7.90, which are free of acetone and enriched with vitamin E. Be sure to clean the sides of the nail where it meets your finger and along the top edge too.
STEP FOUR – File
In the old days when emery boards were highly abrasive the advice was always to file in only one direction to stop splitting. Choose a more forgiving file – such as the QVS Nail Shapers in Fine and Extra Fine – and you can disregard that. As far as shape goes, short, round nails are stronger and more practical, but with the trend for nail art, longer is hot again.

My nose looks like a boot after rhinoplasty. Do you think it's swelling or a deficiency of the surgery? (photo)
Doctor Answers 5
Swelling of dorsum and radix after dorsal augmentation during rhinoplasty
With regards to the relationship of your tip and bridge - your tip likely will project more than your bridge when fully healed, though the projection of the tip and the swelling of the supratip will certainly decrease as your nose heals.

Swelling after rhinoplasty
- It is still early to make conclusions about the shape of the nose
- I would bring up your concerns to your surgeon
- When the tip swelling comes down, the nose will look more proportional

MacKinnon would be our first choice most likely, then either Drouin or Barkov. personally, id take drouin over barkov, hes such a stud, him and huberdeau would be magical but i wonder if we go with the big center instead. If we nab one of mackinnon, drouin, or barkov, that would be insane.
as far as the lottery goes, im constantly having questions about it because whenever i think it goes one way, it gets cleared up and its different. i initially thought they changed it to more like basketball where the picks can land in whatever order they draw them (i dont know if theres a "4spot" rule or something like that in basketball) but here in the nhl draft theyre saying you can only drop back 1 spot...so does that mean you see who wins the top pick, and if its a team who wasnt the worst team then everyone just moves back one spot and theres the order? if everyone has a shot at getting that pick, even #14, then it would be nice to know that we could only slide 1 spot. is that correct?
wouldnt that be great if we got mackinnon (or even barkov). finally, we would no longer have to worry about centers. MacKinnon, Bjugstad, Shore/Goc. that would be incredible!

"Beauty, to me, is about being comfortable in your own skin. That, or a kick-ass red lipstick." – Gwyneth Paltrow
Ann Sheridan, circa 1938 / Photographer unknown / Image via Insite
I already revealed to you that I have hired a stylist to do my hair and makeup on our wedding day. Now that my hair and makeup trial is approaching, I've been searching high and low for inspiration for my wedding-day look. My dress is vintage inspired, so I'd like to complement it with a look that channels the 1920s Hollywood glamor. My ears will be bejeweled with these Art Deco earrings I scored from Perfect Details:
Drop earrings with flange, from Perfect Details
The vintage Hollywood look is becoming really trendy again, so there are plenty of resources out there for inspiration. My favorite look at the moment is red lipstick, subtle metallic eyeshadow, blush cheeks, and lonnnnng come-hither eyelashes:

I haven't decided on a hairstyle yet. This one is tough, y'all! There are so many options! Like many girls before me, I've been growing my hair out for the wedding, so length shouldn't be a limiting factor. I am gravitating toward an updo with lots of volume and details:

Keira Knightly looks ultra sultry here. Is it worth taking the plunge and getting bangs just to achieve a certain look on your wedding day? / Photo via Socialite Life
And I loved Mrs. Sparker's wedding-day hair—it's hard to go wrong with a chic chignon!
So, I need some help! How do you think I should wear my hair on my wedding day? For those of you who are already married or who are past this stage of wedding planning, what inspired your wedding-day look?

The six-month drilling ban in waters deeper than 500 feet (152 meters), imposed after BP's Macondo well off Louisiana blew out April 20, 2010, was lifted in October of that year.
Shale oil has been boosting U.S. domestic production amid slower drilling in the Gulf. Total production increased to 6.36 million barrels a day in the week ended July 20, the most since February 1999, according to the department. Crude inventories rose to 387.3 million in the week ended June 15, the most since July 1990.
"A lot of the growth that we're going to be seeing in the domestic oil production is going to be coming from onshore rather than offshore," Adam Sieminski, the head of the Energy Department's Energy Information Administration, said during a Bloomberg Government lunch on Aug. 22.
North Dakota
Production in North Dakota jumped to 660,000 barrels a day in June from 386,000 a year earlier, according to the department. Texas, the biggest producing state, increased to 1.9 million barrels a day, up from 1.41 million a year earlier.
"What's happening in North Dakota is incredible," John Felmy, chief economist at the industry-funded American Petroleum Institute, said in a phone interview. "There is no question that the industry is still committed to the Gulf."
Imports from Canada are also reducing reliance on the Gulf. The country, the biggest oil exporter to the U.S., shipped a record of 2.52 million barrels a day to its neighbor in February, according to Energy Department data.

Tips for Recruiting
- Continually recruit, even when you don't have a vacancy. Everyone you meet is a potential employee! Establish contacts and networks both inside and outside the university. For example, collect resumes for possible future openings at national meetings. Keep resumes on file at all times.
- Start thinking like an athletic coach and go out and find the talent you need! Don't put an ad in the paper and sit back and wait.
- Treat every vacancy like it's the only chance you have to increase your department's diversity.
- Carefully and seriously consider internal candidates, who may have an edge due to university knowledge and a proven track record.
- Use student internships and part time openings to try out possible future employees.
- Write the position description correctly so that duties and qualifications are not too broad or narrow. This will ensure a decent pool of qualified applicants.
- Utilize faculty and staff to assist with outreach.
- Good candidates may have a variety of options and have to be "courted." The personal touch really makes a difference. This means making potential employees feel welcome through informal discussions and meetings with a variety of university personnel. If a candidate is from out of the area, help the family get to know the area.
- Dual Career Resources offers helpful information for spouses if you are recruiting one member of a dual income couple.

It is generally accepted that for an adult-oriented clip to have maximum impact (that is, hold the attention span of its intended viewer), it should typically not exceed 10 minutes on average. Apparently Kameo from KameoEntertainment.com didn't get that memo.
His productions tend to run on with laborious effort, with whole clips sometimes devoted to a single sex act (rimming, oral, anal). While it is true that the scene is typically augmented by different camera angles (no more than three), it still adds up to a pretty lengthy ordeal.
Depending on the taste of most porn connoisseurs, this may either be heaven on earth or a new low in internet-ready erotica. Either way, the man clearly loves his art and is determined to pay as much attention to it as his own endurance and artistic license permit. Enjoy!

And yet the Montana State University graduate student in earth sciences says he can't think of anything he'd rather do than conduct research. And there's no field he'd rather pursue than paleontology - especially the study of weird marine mammals that lived between two million and 10 million years ago. Among them are walrus-faced whales, sloths adapted to the ocean and walruses with an extra set of tusks.
"I do research because it's extremely exciting and it basically lets me be a little kid forever. I have always wanted to be a paleontologist. This is my dream job," said Boessenecker, 25.
Boessenecker successfully defended his master's thesis in April and is graduating this spring. He is also publishing five scientific papers, an accomplishment his adviser said is unprecedented, in his experience, for a master's student.
Boessenecker said he became interested in paleontology when he was a boy in California and collected fossils from the beaches and cliffs near his home. Even as an MSU student, he excavated fossils from southwest Oregon and the Halfmoon Bay area south of San Francisco. One of his sites was a sea cave where he removed a porpoise skull from the ceiling. Another was a cliff where he examined a bone bed, then broke his tailbone by jumping onto what he believed was a sand dune.
He often prepared fossils in the family home during his field season, Boessenecker said. While in Bozeman, he generally prepared and analyzed fossils in MSU's new paleontology laboratory in Gaines Hall, sometimes with equipment from MSU's Museum of the Rockies. He displayed some of his fossils on wooden shelves and stored others inside plastic boxes in his office cubicle in Traphagen Hall.
"Paleontology is literally one of the coolest jobs right up there with firefighters or astronauts," he said. "There are very few jobs as rewarding, cool or fascinating on a day-by-day basis."
Pulling out some of his specimens, Boessenecker showed a sea lion vertebrae covered with fossilized barnacles, ear bones from extinct dolphins and whales, and a jaw bone that may have come from the embryo of a prehistoric whale. He described a hollow bone fragment that was 18 inches long and 1 ˝ inches across. He originally thought it might've been the lower jaw of a toothed whale, but a closer look made him realize that it probably came from a bony-toothed bird that was "really stupendously large."
Analyzing the bird bone was a side project to his mammal research, and an upcoming paper in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology explains his findings, Boessenecker said. The May 2011 paper says the fragment demonstrates that pelagornithids survived in both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans until the late Pliocene Epoch, which occurred between 2.6 million and 5.3 million years ago. Pelagornithids were large sea birds with tooth-like points on the edge of their beaks. Some pelagornithids had feathered wing spans between 21 and 26 feet, making them among the largest flying birds ever.
Another paper Boessenecker published in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology focused on new records of an extinct fur seal from the Plio-Pleistocene Rio Dell Formation of northern California. A paper in the journal Palaios said the unusual bite marks Boessenecker found on a fur seal fossil didn't come from a shark, but possibly a pilot whale, walrus or other mammal that lived in the Mio-Pliocene Purisima Formation of central California. Boessenecker discovered the bite marks - like many of his other finds - in the laboratory after removing plaster jackets and sediments. Boessenecker published other papers this spring in Paleobios and the PalArch's Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology.
Many MSU paleontology students have published scientific papers, Boessenecker said, crediting their success to the university's "fantastic" paleontology program. Jim Schmitt, Boessenecker's adviser, said, however, that it is highly unusual for a master's degree student to publish as many as Boessenecker. Schmitt added that Boessenecker is largely self-taught, both in his knowledge of marine mammal paleontology and how to publish scientific articles.
"Bobby has a really bright future in paleontology, either in a museum or academic setting," Schmitt said.
Patrick Druckenmiller, a former MSU paleontologist who specializes in marine reptiles, agreed.
"Because he is strongly motivated, bright and inquisitive, I am confident he will go far in our field," Druckenmiller wrote from the University of Alaska in Fairbanks where he is earth sciences curator for the University of Alaska Museum and an assistant professor in geology and geophysics.
Boessenecker said he enrolled at MSU because of its reputation in paleontology. Initially interested in dinosaurs, he said, "This is the natural place to come for that."
And even though he decided as a sophomore to focus on marine mammals instead of dinosaurs, Boessenecker said he stayed on as an undergraduate and graduate student because he figured he could conduct his research at MSU as well as anywhere else. For questions about taphonomy and sedimentary processes, he usually consulted with Schmitt and MSU paleontologist David Varricchio. Taphonomy is what happens after a vertebrate dies and before its bones are discovered millions of years later as fossils.
For advice more specific to marine mammals, Boessenecker turned to outside experts. Co-authors on some of his papers were Frank Perry, a research associate with the Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History; N. Adam Smith, a doctoral candidate who specializes in bird paleontology at the University of Texas at Austin, and Jonathan Geisler, an expert on whale and dolphin paleontology at the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine.
Druckenmiller said, "Even though dinosaurs still rule at MSU, the undergraduate and graduate program strives to train young scientists in a broad range of disciplines that serve anyone working in vertebrate paleontology. This includes both biological and geological training, and unmatched opportunities to conduct fieldwork.
"Whether or not you are digging out a tyrannosaur skull or a dolphin skull, the skills are the same," Druckenmiller continued. "In general, knowledge of a specific group of animals is mostly done on one's own, and not through coursework. Additionally, MSU has a great mix of students, faculty and facilities to help anyone interested in vertebrate paleontology follow their interests."
Boessenecker said one reason he enjoys studying prehistoric marine mammals is because they were a mix of advanced, primitive and bizarre creatures not seen today. It is also satisfying to focus on an area of paleontology that's wide open compared to dinosaurs, Boessenecker said.
Druckenmiller, who has said he feels like a pioneer in his specialty, said, "In the big picture of things, there are not really that many people in the world who study this fascinating area of marine mammals, which means that motivated young investigators like Bobby have great opportunities to carve a niche in the field."
Boessenecker said his next step is earning his doctoral degree in paleontology. He is applying to graduate schools now and hopes to research marine mammal fossils next from New Zealand.
Druckenmiller said he would also like the two to collaborate on taphonomy experiments in Alaska, since the state has lots of coastline and occasional access to marine mammal carcasses.
"I definitely see Bobby as a future colleague in the field of vertebrate paleontology," Druckenmiller said. "Ever since I have known Bobby, it was pretty clear in which direction his career would go. It is refreshing to see someone who knows what they want to do."

text: Pediatrics / Labs / Schor Lab / Current Projects / p75NTR and Its Signaling Pathways in Fenretinide-Induced Apoptosis in Neuroblastoma Cell The Role of p75NTR and Its Signaling Pathways in Fenretinide-Induced Apoptosis in Neuroblastoma Cell Neuroblastoma, one of the most common extracranial tumors in children is derived from neural crest progenitor cells. Clinical observations of spontaneous regression of neuroblastomas by differentiation to a benign phenotype and apoptosis have generated interest in drugs that can mimic these processes. p75NTR is a neurotrophin receptor involved in late developmental and postnatal apoptosis suggesting that it is directly involved in neuroblastoma development. p75NTR has pro-apoptotic as well as anti-apoptotic properties depending on the cell type, intracellular conditions and relative amounts in the cell. 4-hydroxyphenyl retinamide (4HPR) is a synthetic analog of retinoic acid which induces apoptosis in neuroblastoma cells and is currently being administered in Phase III clinical trials in neuroblastoma therapy. The overall goal is to understand the role of p75NTR and its signaling pathways in Fenretinide (4-hydroxyphenyl retinamide - 4HPR) induced apoptosis in neuroblastoma cells and determine if JNK phosphorylation is a mediator of this effect. Our initial results show reduced viability in response to 4HPR treatment in a variety of neuroblastoma cell lines such as SH-EP1 and SK-N-SH cells which is inhibited with p75NTR knockdown. Treatment of SH-EP1 cells with 4HPR for 72 hours causes a significant increase in mitochondrial superoxide production. The pro-apoptotic effect of 4HPR is inhibited when pretreated with dehydro-ascorbic acid (mitochondrial antioxidant) or complex II inhibitors. This will facilitate the development of combination chemotherapeutics for the treatment of residual disease and prevent disease recurrence by creating conditions of increased oxidative stress and enhance response of tumors to 4HPR treatment.

Glee graduates can return for encore

When does the full checklist for this (including print runs) go live on your site?

Looking great as always. Can not wait to break open a box or two. Shh( maybe four but don't let my girl know). Thanks

The Status and Aspirations insert sets in Elite are the best insert sets in any product in my opinion. They never disappoint and have stood the test of time. I do prefer the numbering based on a player's jersey number, but the rainbow look works. The USA cards have an excellent design. I would love to see the set expanded to players from other countries in future releases. The Yearbook cards would be awesome if they were little booklets with the inside giving an assessment of the player's past season and future big league outlook. Great work on this product.

Really like these. This is a product I have been wanting to bust for years. Rookie autos and loaded with them. Its a must buy
JS permalinkJanuary 15, 2013 1:47 pm
Cards look really nice. I wish Panini would use the Elite brand with mlbpa players. Extra Edition shouldn't be only edition of Elite!
Russ permalinkJanuary 15, 2013 7:59 pm
So happy to see the very popular Elite Series insert still remains. Wondering if the back of the card has a distinct photo that differs from the front or is it the same (just smaller).
Jay L. permalinkJanuary 15, 2013 9:21 pm
For the players that play for New York teams, will it say on the card if they play in the AL or NL at all? Just so I know for group break purposes.

A PET/CT scan is a highly advanced medical imaging tool. Positron emission tomography (PET) shows your body's metabolic activity, while the computed tomography (CT) shows your anatomy or body structures.
When combined, the PET and CT scans show what's happening inside your body, including both normal and abnormal metabolic activity, as well as the anatomic details of the area where the normal and abnormal activity is taking place. A PET/CT scan is most often used to detect and locate a variety of common cancers, to determine if and where a cancer has spread or if it has responded to therapy. PET/CT scans are also used to assess neurological conditions, such as Alzheimer's dementia, or certain cardiac conditions. This information can help your doctor better understand what is happening inside your body and discuss with you the most effective next steps.
A PET/CT scan is a non-invasive and painless procedure. Depending on the type of scan, it can be performed in about 90 minutes. Afterward, you may resume your normal activities, such as driving.
To start the process of your PET/CT scan, you will be given a fruit-flavored drink called a "contrast solution." A small amount of a radioactive sugar compound is then injected into your bloodstream. The radioactive sugar circulates in your body while you relax for approximately one hour.
As the radioactive sugar is absorbed into the blood stream, it is drawn to the most active areas of the body that need energy. These areas of energy show up as infrared color on the imaging scan and help the physician interpret the image and locate areas that could be a health concern.
You then lie on the scanner table that slowly moves into the scanner. It's very important that you do not move or adjust your position during this process so the two scans can be aligned and fused together.
When the imaging procedure is complete, the scanner will send the information to a computer that both displays the PET and CT images side by side and combines the images to maximize the information obtained by the study. A radiologist who specializes in interpreting PET/CT images will review the information and provide a detailed report to your physician, who will share the results with you.
Note: The risks associated with PET/CT scanning are minimal. The radioactive sugar compound, which is commonly called FDG, is short-lived and leaves your body quickly. The radiation exposure associated with a PET/CT scan is similar to that associated with conventional imaging exams.

Masjid Nawaz was a great recruiter. He knew where to look for talent and how to "sell" a prospective employee on working for him.
Unfortunately, his business was terrorism.
Where did Nawaz do his recruiting? "We pitched propaganda stalls outside the Motorola offices in Pakistan," he told Eric Schmidt and Jared Cohen, the authors of The New Digital Age, "then we recruited some Motorola staff..." In turn, these inside agents helped disguise the identity of terrorist operatives when they registered with the company for phone service.
Terrorists often attack the infrastructure of everyday life. It may be a bomb at a rail station or a denial-of-service strike on the Internet. But terrorists also love to exploit the infrastructure, taking the facilities and systems we use every day and putting them in their service.
For long-term exploitation of infrastructure, infiltration is the way to go. Terrorist cells try to place members or sympathizers in positions that serve, maintain, and support the systems that serve us. This gives them an "insider" threat.

On TV, every outfit -- good and bad -- boasts some super-hacker who can break through encryption blocks and firewalls in a matter of moments to access a data control system.
In reality, that's very difficult to pull off -- if you're an outsider. But for people intent on undertaking malicious activity, handing them jobs that give access to critical systems and information is like handing them a loaded gun.
Of course, getting a Manchurian candidate placed in the right job at the right time is no easy task. A simpler way to get inside is to recruit a sympathizer or fellow traveler who already has a job where damage can be done. This was the genius of the Nawaz way of doing business.
Both Bradley Manning, the soldier who offered a data-dump to Wiki-leaks, and Edward Snowden, the government contractor who went postal over PRISM, are perfect examples of a new kind "lone wolf" whose actions could inflict fare more damage than the Boston bombers.
Some have sympathy with -- even admiration for -- wild cards like Manning and Snowden.
Those sentiments are misplaced. Where whistle blowers suspect wrong doing, there are legitimate avenues for bringing those concerns to the attention of responsible persons...without potentially compromising national security.
When Manning and Snowden went rogue they breached the public trust just as much as the Pakistani phone company employees who decided to provide material support to terrorists. There is nothing heroic about that.

Kim Zolciak
Full Name: Kim Zolciak
Hometown: Pensacola, FL
As one of the loud and opinionated stars of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Kim Zolciak helped start the trend of Housewive songstresses when she released the dance record "Tardy for the Party."
Born May 19, 1978, Zolciak is most well-known for wearing a wig and dating a married man who she dubbed "Big Poppa" on the hit Bravo reality show. Throughout the course of seasons 1 and 2, Zolciak was involved in a number of spats with frenemies and costars NeNe Leakes and Sheree Whitfield. In the first season of the show she tried her hand as a country singer, but later asked for help from castmate and former Xscape singer Kandi Burruss to rework "Tardy for the Party" into a dance song. The single reached No. 20 on the iTunes Top 200.
The Bravo star has two daughters, Brielle and Ariana, from a previous relationship, and sons Kash and KJ and twins Kaia and Kane with her professional football player husband Kroy Biermann, who she married in 2011. The wedding was documented on her RHOA spin-off show Don't Be Tardy to the Wedding. Zolciak currently appears on her own show, Don't Be Tardy.

Hi all, I'm having some trouble using this command via JDBC. I have a set of files with which I would like to populate database tables. If I use the command, copy table from file with Delimiter ' ';, I get nothing being added to the table should it be via JDBC but if I do it on the command line I get all the results added as required. I've tried to find if other people are having this problem and can't see any problems related to the current version of PostgreSQL. Some of the older versions I realised didn't support the copy command via JDBC but as far as I can see version 9 does. Could anyone shed some light on this as to what I am doing wrong? Note: originally the files were binary and the query was complaining about the file signature despite them being valid binary files. The same command was used but with "with binary" being added to the query. Any help would be much appreciated. Regards, Martin

Rousing shouts of "Prosit!" and boot-shaped vials frothing over with hearty, dark German-style crack are the order of the day at Hans von Kreutzen's new neighborhood Krackhaüs.
"Welkommen, alle!" bellows Hans to several glassy-eyed baseheads staggering through the ornately carved oak doors of Das Kracken Haüs, the family-style crack-cocaine freebasing emporium and eatery he has built in the Germantown area of East New York. "So, you vant a hit on der krackpipe, ya?"
As a desperate young woman huddles near the Krackhaüs' charming, gingerbread-trimmed bar, offering a man oral sex in exchange for $10, von Kreutzen recalls his establishment's humble roots. "I vas saddened to see zat my neighborhood had lost sight of its strong ethnic roots," he says. "The kinder were smoking the rock out on the avenue. So I built mein Krackhaüs. Now zey have somewhere to go and frei-base in der old German style!"
"Ve make and refine our own product here," says von Kreutzen, obviously proud of his operation. "Der Krack is made in many styles, including Dark, Krack Bock, and a full-bodied, malty Kracktoberfest Pilsner."
All von Kreutzen's offerings are produced by his on-premises Krackmeister in strict accordance with the Bavarian Purity Law of 1977, which states that the raw flaked cocaine must not be stepped on more than twice before being cut with kitchen powder. The kitchen also serves up hearty Kokenschnitzel with heavy cream sauces, as well as a variety of sausages.
The hearty, full-bodied nature of the product means that customer turnover is high. "Some days der ragged, emaciated bodies of ze junkies are staked up in ze back like corpses," says von Kreutzen. "But even zat has its roots in German culture!"
"Ich liebe Das Kracken Haüs!" says apple-cheeked waitress Heidi Schtrundle. "This is the only place in East New York where you can cook up to the hearty oompah rhythms of the Krack Barrel Polka. Also, if you're a lady who's broke and still needs a hit, you can just let Hans have some fun under your Dirndl."
Das Kracken Haüs is decorated in the great German style. Huge stained oak tables are the perfect place to enjoy an old-fashioned "massive fatal heart attack." Torches line the walls, giving off a warm glow to see more easily what's cooking in "Der Kracklab." The enormous fieldstone fireplace is the centerpiece for the traditional Krackhead dance, in which one alternates between scuttling closer to the fire's heat and flinching from its light.
"Come, gather round!" von Kreutzen calls out to a large crowd of blond-haired, ruddy-faced addicts. "Und have some delicious Wienerblow!"
Though the story sometimes varies, legend has it that von Kreutzen started his Krackhaüs with money he acquired from the sale of miscellaneous art items his father had imported from Europe in the late summer of 1944. With a small business loan from an Argentinean bank and local connections, Der Kracken Haüs was soon open for business.
And they've been hooked ever since. "Try it—you will enjoy," von Kreutzen says. "Und if you OD, und have to go to ze hospital with toxic shock, tell them Hans sent you!"

Dear ones:
For me it is hard to have to resort to this space, especially when it is valuable to help projects with more usefull nature. The truth is that without a job is impossible to finish a project that started two years ago and that will lose it's pace and space to be done if we do not push this through. That is why I need your help.
What it is then, House 8?
It is a visual treatise on sexuality or as I like to call it, a scoptifílic study about spiritual pornography. How to deconstruct this topic?
Almost everything was said and shown about sexuality, especially what is most acceptable, easy to consume, or what is shocking but at the same time attractive. What house 8 proposes to do is the opposite; criticizing the banality of it, criticizing through photography showing how humanity indulges, crosses and cast their seeds, not paying any attention to their fruit.
The project has the talent of these artists / models: Rui Reininho, Jéssica Chantre, Ivo Canelas, Sara Ribeiro, Isabel Abreu, Claudia Soares, Ana Ferrao, Maria Albuquerque, Diego Bueno, Diogo Faria, Maria Leite, Marta Neto, Joan Verona, Emanuel Arada, Catia Terrinca, Filipe Jorge Dias, Gabriela Santos, Elísio Donas, Inês Antunes de Almeida, David Mesquita, Paula Garcia, Joana Pais de Brito, among many others.
It may seem a lot for a photography project, but walk me through this: each studio rental per hour is 50 euros, gasoline (little, try to do everything in downtown Lisbon), clothes (many are borrowed but others are leased). The principal is the necessary material for the special effects: silicone, foam, fake blood, ink, prostheses, etc.
We would like to raise this amount until June to succeed in finalizing the project by the end of the year, so we can introduce this project to a publisher.
Note:30 euros commission for PPL + VAT.

Marc Jacobs, Lorenzo Martone Now Aiming for a 2010 Wedding
>> Marc Jacobs and Lorenzo Martone originally planned on having a very small, two-person wedding at the end of August. It was never confirmed after the fact, though, and it sounds like that's because it hasn't happened yet. Jacobs told the Times UK: "We still haven't fixed the date but Lorenzo and I believe in commitment. We're quite classic like that. We've got the licence, hence the rumours that we'd already got married. So hopefully it will happen in 2010. When it does, it will be very low-key."
Jacobs says that the economy has affected him personally — "I've cut back, because my partner Lorenzo and I are buying a house in the West Village in New York" — but it sounds like it hasn't affected Louis Vuitton the way it has Versace, Zac Posen, and Gucci — the former has announced impending layoffs, and cuts are expected to be announced at the latter two. "In terms of what's selling at Louis Vuitton, the recession hasn't changed anything . . . our sales are up and I haven't noticed that people's tastes have got more subdued. There's this huge cult following of almost crazy people at Vuitton who just want whatever they buy to be exclusive."

CARDIFF ---- From gourmet beach tacos to award-winning doughnuts, Cardiff-by-the-Sea's culinary offerings have become a best-kept secret among coastal foodies. Now, Cardiff's ready to let that secret out.
From 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. May 20, the Cardiff 101 MainStreet association will host its first Taste of Cardiff event, featuring tastings by 17 local eateries sprinkled around the community. Patrons will get a chance to sample bites at each location and vote for their favorite to win the 2010 Taste of Cardiff Golden Fork Award.
Tess Radmill, program manager for Cardiff 101 MainStreet, said she hopes to sell from 400 to 500 tickets for the inaugural event.
Although most of the participating restaurants are downtown, diners will want to make the trek to the San Elijo State Campgrounds, where Bull Tacos will serve up the culinary treats that have made it a cult favorite. Other participants are VG Donuts, which has won numerous "Best Doughnut" competitions (including among North County Times readers); the Beach City Cafe; Cicciotti's Trattoria Italiana; Dave de Jour Street Food; East Coast Pizza; Ki's Restaurant; Las Olas; Rimel's; Seaside Market; The Beach House; Trattoria Positano; Wine Steals; Zenbu; Yogi's Beach Bar; Starbucks; and Subway.
"With Cardiff Restaurant Row, Bull Taco and Rimel's/Zenbu, Cardiff-by-the-Sea is a food destination," Radmill said. "I hope this event helps people to realize how many unique dining options are available right in downtown Cardiff."
When asked which gourmet tasting she's most excited to sample herself, she picked Bull Taco, the beachfront seafood taco cafe operated by Greg Lukasiewicz and Laurel Manganelli.
"I hope the Taste of Cardiff makes more people aware of this gourmet eatery right in the heart of the Cardiff State Beach Campgrounds."
Tickets are $20 and can be purchased at the Cardiff 101 MainStreet office at 124 Aberdeen Drive. Call 760-436-0431 or visit tasteofcardiff.com.

Number of Birmingham vacant structure fires rising
The number of vacant structure fires in Birmingham is on the rise. This year, there have been 25 fires in vacant structures. That's three more than this time last year.
Vacant and abandoned properties can pose safety challenges for everyone including neighbors, property owners, firefighters and police, according to Birmingham Fire and Rescue Battalion Chief C.W. Mardis. Mardis offered the following advice:
- Any vacant structures can become a safety hazard when not properly maintained
- It's important for neighbors to report any suspicious or illegal activity by calling 911.
- Do not confront anyone staying in an abandoned house.
- Call 311 to report a property that is open or to report anything on the property that could be a health or safety issue (trash, rodents, weeds, etc.).
- Keep your property and areas around vacant houses clean and clear of clutter and debris.
- Contact the property owner in writing, informing him/her of your concerns.
- If you own a vacant structure, be sure that it is boarded up, secured and remove all combustible materials and valuables.

The following is a breakdown of the Senate expense cases currently being investigated by the RCMP.
Mike Duffy
After closing the Nigel Wright file, the RCMP are nearing completion on the investigation into suspended senator Mike Duffy's expense claims and his contractual dealings with one of his friends, according to sources. Mr. Duffy, who was appointed by Prime Minister Stephen Harper but was sitting as an independent when he was suspended in November, is still under investigation for his living allowances, with the RCMP looking at housing claims that were made for a secondary residence in the Ottawa area. There is evidence that he spent more of his time in Ottawa than at his Prince Edward Island residence. In addition, the RCMP are looking into $64,916.50 in contracts that went to Gerald Donohue, one of Mr. Duffy's friends.
Pamela Wallin
The investigation into suspended senator Pamela Wallin is still months away from completion, with much work left to go over her agendas and explore her expense claims. In court records, the RCMP have alleged that Ms. Wallin used "deceit, falsehood, or other fraudulent means" to defraud the Senate of more than $5,000. The Mounties also alleged that Senate staff cautioned Ms. Wallin about her expenses on several occasions beginning in September, 2009. The Saskatchewan senator told a Toronto radio station in April that she regrets paying back money for expense claims that she still doesn't see as dubious. Like Mr. Duffy, Ms. Wallin was appointed by Mr. Harper, but was sitting as an independent when she was suspended without pay in November.
Patrick Brazeau
Patrick Brazeau is facing fraud and breach of trust charges in relation to his Senate expense claims. The Senate ordered Mr. Brazeau to pay back almost $50,000 over disputed expense claims. He refused, and the Senate garnisheed his salary until last November, when he was suspended without pay. He, too, was appointed as a Conservative but was sitting as an independent when he was suspended. Mr. Brazeau, 39, was arrested and released on bail in April on charges of assault, uttering threats, cocaine possession and breach of conditions, after an altercation at a residence in Gatineau, Que.
Mac Harb
Retired senator Mac Harb, an ex-Liberal, is also facing charges of fraud and breach of trust in relation to his expense claims. He resigned from the Senate in August after paying back $231,000 for ineligible housing and travel expenses.

Indulgence includes new restaurants and wines during June 9 event
Indulgence, a hugely-popular annual event, always sells out quickly. But this year, there are even more reasons to attend, as there are five new restaurants, four new wineries and one new producer taking part.
Also, for the first time organizers can remember, the event's sponsor, Slow Food Edmonton, has a food booth, too. With president Chad Moss at the helm, Slow Food Edmonton has paired up with Alley Kat to prepare a sustainable, beer-battered fish and chips.
The new food participants are: Belgravia Hub, Pampa Steakhouse, RGE RD, Daravara and Toast Fine Catering. And now that Shane Chartrand is the new executive chef at Sage, the restaurant is returning after a several-year hiatus.
The new food producer is AB Bison Ranch, and Blair Lebsack of RGE RD is preparing the meat.
The new wineries are: Tantalus, Meyer Family Vineyards, Stoneboat and Grey Monk.
Indulgence is on Monday, June 9 from 6:30 to 9:00 at the Delta Edmonton South (4404 Gateway Boulevard). Tickets are $75 and include all food and liquor pairings. Tickets for the event are on sale on Thursday, May 1, at 9:30 a.m.

OA: Suggestion of the week October 17, 2008
Usually, I cringe when news releases for musicians start out by describing how hard that person's journey was to fame.
Gag me. I don't think musical stardom just falls in most people's laps.
But despite the lead, "It wasn't easy getting here for Rachael Yamagata," I gave her new CD
"Elephants ... Teeth Sinking Into Heart" a listen to, anyway.
It's actually a single record in two parts. Disc one is more sentimental, ooey gooey love and heartache, while disc two does rock a little more. It's louder at least.
The two discs really are quite lovely. I enjoy them because Yamagata's voice is smooth and soft and interesting enough to listen to, perfect for those upcoming rainy and snowy days.
My favorite songs are "Little Life," because of the climax, and "Duet," because it really is a duet between Yamagata and Ray Lamontagne.
And I suppose Yamagata's journey was painful. It includes heartbreak, a broken wrist, stitches and a blown-out eardrum (which I would imagine hurts).
You can buy the CD for $11.49 on Amazon.com.

To the Editor:
Education is a key to our economic recovery, as is a balanced budget. Rep. Bob Barrett's campaign literature is misleading at best, if not deceptive. First, the state's budget is required to be balanced; he is not responsible for it. It was the economic policies of Tim Pawlenty, echoed by Barrett, that led to the deficits and the underfunding of education in Minnesota and to the fact that 95 percent of the residents of Chisago County experienced a property tax increase. Barrett is no friend of education. The so-called special interest group that he identifies that supports Olseen is our teachers. Take a look at the special interests groups that support Barrett. Look at his votes to abuse the State Constitution with divisive issues, rather than help create jobs. When you study the issues, Olseen will work to represent all people, while Barrett contributes to the divisiveness in our community and is part of the gridlock that has contributed to the economic problems of Chisago and the state.
Robert G. Walz, North Branch
