Matthew Barnett, now 19, accepted a plea deal at the Nodaway County courthouse, ending a case that had become an embarrassment to Missouri authorities.
Barnett was accused of raping Maryville teen Daisy Coleman while she was drunk, then leaving her, freezing, on her mother's doorstep in January 2012.
The case came to national prominence in October after the Kansas City Star published an article about Daisy's accusations and raised questions about why Nodaway County prosecutor Robert Rice had dropped charges against Barnett.
Rice asked a local judge to appoint a special prosecutor to reexamine the case, and Jackson County prosecutor Jean Peters Baker took over.
Speaking to reporters outside the courthouse in Maryville on Thursday, Peters Baker said there was "insufficient evidence" to prove Barnett had raped Daisy.
"Today, Mr. Barnett was held accountable for his actions," Peters Baker said, adding that Daisy and her mother, Melinda Coleman, had worked closely with her on the case and that Barnett's attorneys agreed to the deal after a month of negotiations.
Barnett received two years' probation for second-degree child endangerment. He was barred from contacting the Coleman family and ordered to serve 100 hours of community service and to pay $1,800 in restitution. He apologized in person to Peters Baker on Thursday, who said she would relay the apology to Daisy.
Barnett's attorney, J.R. Hobbs, told reporters that his client "truly regrets" the incident, but added that the misdemeanor charge for leaving Daisy on a freezing porch "accurately reflects" the extent of the criminal actions that occurred that night.

Title: Growing non-native and exotic plants in New Oxford PA
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:Is there a palm tree that would grow in New Oxford PA? Also do you know where I could find a place to buy Exotic and Unusual Plant Seeds from around the World. I would like one that has a good reputation. I have tried Seedman and Seedrack. I have a 20x80 FT garden every year.
We are afraid we are not going to be able to help you very much. The palms are all tropical and sub-tropical in origin, and while they are often grown in "palm houses" in large botanical gardens, they are not suited for residential planting as far north as Pennsylvania. Adams County is in USDA Hardiness Zone 6a to 6b, and your average annual minimum temperatures range from -10 to 0 deg. F. That does not fall into "tropical or sub-tropical." Furthermore, to the best of our knowledge, none of the palms are native to North America but to the (what else?) tropics. We found an article from which you might get some more information from Sun Palm Trees, Cold and Hardy Palm Trees. This article describes "hardy" as being able to survive down to 18 deg. F. Doesn't sound much like Pennsylvania, does it?
There is one tree, Sabal palmetto (Cabbage palmetto), native to North American coastal areas from Florida to South Carolina. That is not a true palm, and this USDA Plant Profile does not show the plant growing any farther north than North Carolina.
To move on to your other question about suppliers of exotic and unusual plant seeds; by definition, these are almost all going to be non-natives to North America. The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center is dedicated to the growth, propagation and protection of plants native not only to North America but to the area in which the plants are being grown. When we Googled on "exotic plants," we got several websites, some of which do not sell seeds, and some of which will ship only to the West Coast, etc. One you could check out is WorldPlants.com Unusual Plants, Rare Plants, Exotic Plants. Unless you are planning to build a large, year-round greenhouse, we're pretty sure none of these are going to last more than a few minutes in the Pennsylvania Winter. Sorry.

2000 Ford Focus SE 4dr Wagon
When looking for a small wagon I had certain criteria. I needed something that would fit my family of people and pets. The Focus is economical, stylish, and fun to drive. It truly is the vehicle for me and others who are looking for a small wagon...whose numbers are dwindling.

I bought the car with 60,000 miles on it. I have got to admit now that I was down in the dumps when I bought that Ford nightmare. The next day as I was driving to work the Ford nightmare had a fuel pump problem, and then the timing belt literally exploded and then oil leak and then fuel leak and then the AC broke down and then the water pump broke down and then the back power windows broke down and the car stereo broke down -- I had to hit it hard with my fist for it to function several times and then the Ford nightmare is a noise box and then and then and then. How many times did I say "and then" - I have lost count. Mayday Mayday Mayday DO NOT EVER BUY a FORD EVER Please...

Leaking coolant after 33,000 miles; dealer replaced water pump twice. At 65,000 miles again leaking coolant; per dealer diagnosis thermostat housing froze and leaked. This ruined water pump. Dealer changed water pump, again twice. This suggested that quality of parts are bad. All total this car has had 5 water pumps for the first 65,000 miles. Car was taken to independent mechanic. After more tests to find cause of loosing coolant, it was determined that coolant was passing to cylinder and head repair has to be done. This problem is in addition to transmission electronic component failing, rear window not working, and the rough idling causing vibration.

Sad, but the Focus really soured me on all Fords. What hasn't gone wrong on this car? Despite the recalls just since I've had it, the $2400 transmission put in at 70K, the extra $1000 it will take for MORE O2 sensors, fuel gauge sensor, etc. and the additional $1,000 I've put in since I've had it (if you add it all up, it's about what the trade in is worth), I've had it with this car. Once one thing goes, everything goes.

Lets see. At 15,000 miles i had to get new brakes and throttle body. At 45,000 miles I already replaced the oxygen sensor twice. I had to replace the shocks twice. The air conditioner broke, the heat sometimes worked, the wipers sometimes worked. At 73,000 I had to replace the transmission. At 74,000 my brakes failed. (They wouldn't work at all).

Bought new in September 2000 from
award winning dealer. Brilliant
design, exceptional ergonomics, fun to
drive, versatile and large cargo
capacity, but many recalls, brake
problems, and air conditioner failed
at only 29,000 miles and 6 months out
of warranty ($1,500 to replace and
only a 1-year warranty, so I won't do
it). In Oct 2000 Consumer Reports
rated the Focus second best of six
wagons tested, and in April 2001
Consumer Reports rated the Focus the
No. 1 small sedan. In both cases
reliabity was not yet established.

Can not believe the cargo space. We had
a full size 1951 Plymouth Station Wagon
that did not have anymore room than the
Focus. We like everything about it so
far except for the gas milage, it's
nothing close to whats advertised after
a complete tuneup,oil change &
filter,and air filter it's still only
in the lower 20's. Otherwise a
fantastic auto for the money.

After 36k mi, only two issue to report.
I had a sensor go bad on the engine at
12k. Replaced under warranty. The
original right rear tire wore
unevenly. Otherwise, this car has been
good to me. The wagon's cargo space
has come in handy many times. The
engine power is adequate, although
more power would be nice. The advance
trac is wonderful in the snow. So far.
my ZTW has been a good car.

There have been several recalls on this
car including the rear wheel bearings.
I wish I could get rid of this thing
but the value has been dropping much
faster than I can pay the car off.
They have had to replace the complete
breaking system after only about 25,000
miles and the wheel bearing went bad
coming home on Christmas day with the
kids in the car. I'm about ready to
tell Ford Credit they can have their
car back.

Winnipeg, MB
6°c Overcast
For retired cops, there is always one case that still keeps them up at night.
They spent much of their lives dealing with some of the worst society has to offer.
Grisly murder scenes, horrific child abuse, violent gang members and dangerous domestic situations were among their daily challenges.
It's no secret being a police officer means dealing with plenty of emotional baggage that can't simply be unloaded at the end of a shift.
Or even a career, as it turns out.
The Free Press caught up with four well-known former Winnipeg cops to ask one simple question: "What was the case that stayed on your mind and kept you awake?"
Not surprisingly, turning in your badge doesn't mean turning off the memories. And it's clear the sleepless nights have continued well into retirement — especially when it comes to cases that dealt with society's most vulnerable.
"Sleepless nights are the life of any police officer and maybe even more so when retired and constantly reminded that nothing much has changed in regards to violent crime," says Bill VanderGraaf.
Bob Paquin still remembers the hot sun shining down that Friday afternoon in October 1983. He was working as street supervisor in the traffic division when the call came in for a North End traffic accident.
It was rush hour. Paquin was the only unit available to respond.
A little boy, while sitting on the curb next to his bicycle, had been run over by a vehicle. He was being rushed to hospital in grave condition. And the motorist had fled the scene.
Paquin began canvassing the neighbourhood, desperate for a licence plate or description of the driver.
"Nobody had seen or heard anything," he recalls.
Paquin then went to the Health Sciences Centre, where he was led into the emergency room by a masked and gowned nurse. What he saw next remains forever burned into his memory.
"There, lying face up was the lifeless body of a young innocent child," says Paquin.
Bradley Bluecoat was only eight years old.
Paquin went home that night, furious that the cowardly killer had gotten away.
"I crept into my seven-year-old son's bedroom and looked down upon my sleeping son. He was the spitting image of Bradley," Paquin recalls. "With tears in my eyes I said a prayer thanking God that my son was safe and warm in his bed surrounded by his teddy bears and the family who loved him."
It's been 30 years since the boy was run down. Paquin says he's still haunted by the fact nobody has ever been arrested.
"I often think about this young boy and try to imagine what he would have grown up to become," he says. "Will this case ever be solved? I doubt it very much, but I do know that the suspect will someday have to answer to a higher authority and explain his cowardice."
It was Christmas morning, 1987. Bill VanderGraaf was enjoying quality time with his giddy two young children when the phone rang.
Agnes Kirk-Kirton, her five-year-old daughter Sarah and 18-month-old son Evan had been gunned down inside their townhouse hours earlier. An execution of three innocents.
VanderGraaf called in to offer help with the manhunt for the two killers, believed to be collecting a drug debt from Kirk-Kirton's husband — who managed to duck out a window and escape.
Eventually the two accused were caught and VanderGraaf was assigned to interrogate the suspected gunman, Larry Fisher. It proved to be a gruelling 10-hour ordeal, the most challenging of a 29-year career that ended in 2001.
"When you have a man accused repeatedly in various fashions, that he is a woman and baby killer, and he remains completely silent and emotionless for that length of time, you know he is cold blooded," says VanderGraaf.
He spent several days submerging himself in Winnipeg's shadowy drug sub-culture convincing several witnesses to co-operate with the investigation, which ultimately paved the way for murder convictions against both accused.
"One would think that in the drug underworld, the police would be stymied in conducting interview," says VanderGraaf. "Quite the contrary in this case, such people were equally outraged and more then helpful."
VanderGraaf says it was this case, more than any other, that changed his views on drugs. He now serves as a speaker and director of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition.
"This case and many many others since on our streets, are not the result of illegal drug use but the prohibition of drugs. That should be changed to proper social health policies, with control and regulation to stop this kind of slaughter," says VanderGraaf.
James Jewell says it was the toughest call he ever had to make.
It was November 1998 and an angry Daniel Younger had just kidnapped his girlfriend's two-year-old son, Randy Grisdale.
Younger was in custody. But the smug, defiant young man was refusing to tell Jewell where he'd hidden the boy.
"It was a gun-wrenching paradox. Do I beat (Younger) to get information that could potentially save a child's life or go by the book to ensure (Younger) is held accountable for his crime?" Jewell recalls.
"In the end I know I did the right thing and can live with the decision, but that doesn't mean I haven't occasionally struggled with varying degrees of doubt."
Jewell played it straight. And by the time other officers eventually found Randy sitting in a parked van wearing only a diaper and shirt, he had succumbed to the frigid temperatures. Younger was eventually convicted of murder and given a life sentence.
"This was the remorseless killing of an innocent child," says Jewell, who spent 26 years with Winnipeg police before retiring in 2012. Eight of those years were spent in homicide, where Jewell worked over 200 cases. This one continues to stand out, although he now finds himself in retirement often going through every facet of many investigations.
"To be successful in homicide investigation you have to be prepared to commit an extraordinary amount of time and energy to the job. That means sacrificing what most people would call a normal life," says Jewell.
"When you are 'in the game,' family time is the first casualty. Retirement for me meant putting things back in perspective and re-focusing that energy on my wife and children."
Like many ex-cops, Bob Marshall can't stop thinking about the one that got away. In this case, the heartless killer of a young boy and the toll the case has taken on so many people.
Marshall says he has "second-guessed himself" more times than he cares to remember about his handling of the Jason McQuaker homicide.
Jason had just celebrated his 12th birthday in June 1988 when he vanished from Thunder Bay. Much of the suspicion fell on the boy's father, Barry, who was well-known to police for several petty offences and was in the middle of a separation with his wife.
But there was no evidence — and no body — and the trail grew cold.
Marshall got involved in the case in 1991 when he arrested Barry in Winnipeg following a crime spree which included bank robberies in B.C., Alberta and Manitoba. In an interview, Barry made a stunning confession.
"I buried him. My son, he's not missing. I buried him. I didn't kill him. I found him dead. I didn't know what to do. I took him and buried him out of town."
Marshall, his partner and Barry McQuaker jumped on a plane to Thunder Bay, where he led them to a remote location in the bush where the boy's remains were unearthed.
Barry would ultimately be charged with obstructing justice and interfering with a dead body, but was never charged with the homicide. He swore up and down he only found the boy, already dead and sexually assaulted, and buried him so his wife wouldn't find out what happened.
No arrest has ever been made. The cold case remains unsolved.
"The term closure is often over-used and may be inappropriate, but a full and proper conclusion would at least bring some small measure of justice for an innocent boy who was taken forever a quarter century ago this month," says Marshall, who ended his 27 year policing career in 2004.
"I think about the case a lot, weekly, and how nobody's been held to account for the death of a young boy and the tremendous toll the death has taken on so many other innocent people, especially his mother and family members who were so close to him."

TechAssistant Initiative By Christen Cummings, CRT at John B. Dey & Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach, CRT at W.T. Cooke In partnership with Suzanne Buhner, EMR at W.T. Cooke Basic Overview/History: During the summer of 1999 Christen Cummings, Computer Resource Teacher at John B. Dey, and Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach, Computer Resource Teacher at W.T.Cooke, met and developed the idea of using students as tech assistants at their economically diverse schools. The rationale was to use the exceptional student's enthusiasm for technology as a motivator in building self esteem, developing character, and gaining life skills to make him/her successful in the 21st century job market. In addition to the benefits experienced by the student, these tech assistants once trained, would provide helpers for the over burdened Computer Resource Teacher. (CRT) Each school followed basic guidelines to make each TechAssistant initiative similar enough to do a study, but yet allowed for the needs of each school's differing population. John B. Dey geared their program toward the "at risk" population, while W.T. Cooke paired students with special needs and students in general education to operate as a team of tech assistants. Suzanne Buhner, Special Education Teacher, collaborated with Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach to develop the W.T. Cooke program so as to encompass the varying needs of the exceptional student as a valued member of the TechAssistant team. W.T.Cooke's Approach: After planning the strategies to be used within the program, an orientation meeting was held. Interested students and parents were invited to attend. Students were given a "job" application to complete and asked to attach a letter of interest. The applicants were then invited in for interviews. The intent was to make it similar to the job application process. All twenty-one applicants were accepted. Eight of those applicants were students with special needs, with exceptionalities such as Down's Syndrome, ADHD, emotional and learning disabilities represented. The newly selected 3rd - 5th grade tech assistants went through a series of training sessions held twice a week in the afternoons from 3pm to 4pm. During this time they were taught such skills as: Working with others Hardware/cleaning and maintenance Troubleshooting Logging on and off a network Identifying common printer problems Changing print cartridges Aligning and cleaning print drivers How to defrag and scan disk Filling in of logs and other documentation The tech assistants were given a "techie" cap to identify them to faculty as a tech assistant, as well as making their own identification badge from a business card program. During one training session the students designed a "calling card" to be left by any machine serviced, letting the teacher know what was done to the computer and that their assigned tech assistant had been there. Included in the folder given to each assistant were items such as: Map of the school, a calendar of future training dates, the tech teams rotation schedule, the TechAssist Progress Report Form, step by step instructions for any possible service request, and any other forms or logs they would need to complete their duties. Teachers were given a packet explaining the program and copies of all documentation given to the tech assistant. Parents were also given letters of explanation and copies of pertinent documentation. Prior to beginning their duties in the school, the tech assistants were observed and evaluated as to their ability to perform the expected tasks with a TechAssistant Skills Form. Program Components: Bimonthly TechAssistants will complete computer maintenance/service requests in pairs. The assistants were split into two teams…A & B. On their scheduled days the TechAssistant will report to the computer lab at 8:15 a.m. and pick up their team's clipboard with the day's assignments. They will work until 8:45 a.m. and then return the completed forms and clipboard to the lab. Then repeat the process from 2:40 p.m. -3:00 p.m. TechAssistants are responsible for having teachers fill out the TechAssistant Classroom Progress Report each week. It is important that their technical responsibilities do not interfere with their academic progress. Each quarter an Outstanding TechAssistant will be chosen based on classroom and job performance. Ongoing training will be done once a week in conjunction with Computer Club meetings. Speakers, technology oriented field trips, and other technical opportunities will be provided during this time slot as well. Eventually the TechAssistants will be used to help train faculty, and other students in the skills they have mastered. A TechAssistant Boot Camp will be held the summer of 2000 to prepare the next years TechAssistants for their responsibilities. The coordinators of the program will work closely with TechAssistants, Teachers, and Parents to insure smooth functioning of the program. John B. Dey's Approach: After several meetings with the John B. Dey guidance counselor, fifteen at-risk students were asked to be a part of a new computer program. Student selection for the initiative was based on those who stood to benefit most from this project. These students exhibited social, emotional and/or academic needs. Each student was given an application and information packet to be returned to the computer resource teacher. All of the students who returned their application were accepted into the program. A weekly meeting from 2:30-3:30 p.m. is held in the computer lab. During this time the students are given tech training. The students are taught the following skills: Working with others Operating in the Windows 95 environment Basic Troubleshooting How to defrag and scan disk Run Norton Antivirus updates Vacuuming the keyboard, CPU, and monitor for dust Logging on/off a network Properly starting and shutting down the computers Check off completed tasks and write down problems on their tech log The tech assistants created a "techie" T-shirt and identification badge to identify them to the faculty as an approved tech assistant. Any time the tech assistant goes out into their classroom they have their tech uniform on and their equipment basket. In this equipment basket is a check sheet for the computer maintenance needed, step-by-step instructions, a school map with their designated rooms highlighted, and the materials needed to complete these tasks. Anytime work is completed the student leaves their business card and a summary sheet of work completed. If any problem could not be fixed they will record it into their tech log and turn it into the computer resource teacher for further assistance. As the students become more confident in their abilities more duties will be assigned. For future meeting topics, the students are asked for input on new skills and programs they are interested in learning. Program Components: TechAssistants will complete weekly computer maintenance/service TechAssistants are responsible for monthly progress reports filled out by their classroom teacher(s). A student is put on probation after one bad progress report and is excused from the program if the next progress report is failing as well. Tech training will be ongoing and done in conjunction with other computer- related activities. Such activities include speakers, technology orientated field trips, and special projects with students from other schools. TechAssistant Boot camp to be held in the summer of 2000.

MENA Women's News Brief
The Middle East Program will send out the latest developments on women's issues in the region on a bi-monthly basis.
March 10, 2015-March 24, 2015
March 11 (Op-Ed) Arab Women in the workforce: An ongoing struggle (Yara al-Wazir)
"Female participation in the workforce has increased at a rate of 0.17 percent per year over the past three decades, according to the World Bank. With only 25 percent of Arab women actively participating in the labor market, the fight for equal employment rights and improved female participation in the labor market is an on-going struggle." (Al Arabiya)
March 12: (Op-Ed) Can you be an Islamist and a feminist? (Madawi Al-Rasheed)
"Although Islamism and feminism have gender at the heart of their activism and projects, being an Islamist and being a feminist are different matters. Many believe a combination of the two is implausible, but it is, however, possible if one is prepared to accept that there are multiple feminisms and Islamisms in the world today." (Al-Monitor)
March 23: 26 arrests after mob beats, burns Afghan woman
"A mob of male attackers beat and kicked 27-year-old Farkhunda before tossing her off a bridge, setting her body on fire and throwing it in the river. Like many Afghans, Farkhunda used only one name. Twenty-six people have been arrested in connection with the killing, Afghanistan's Interior Minister Noorul Haq Ulumi said Monday in a statement before parliament." (CNN)
March16: Algerian women take to streets to bring back traditional veil
"Women across Algeria are organising events to defend an iconic garment worn by their ancestors but now almost completely forgotten. Some of them prefer this traditional veil, the haik, to the hijab that they view as imported from the Middle East. From Ottoman times onwards, it was worn by city-dwelling women who ventured outside the home." (France 24)
March 18: Women's rights activists call for UN to protect them in their work
"Maryam al-Khawaja was arrested, assaulted and imprisoned for three weeks when she attempted to visit her political activist father in prison in Bahrain last year. At an event on Monday, March 16, organised by the civil society network Civicus and hosted at this year's Commission on the Status of Women, in New York, al-Khawaja and two other women activists called on the UN secretary general, Ban Ki-moon, to show leadership on defending the rights of female activists, and on member states to act on the resolution passed in 2013 to ensure they are protected in their work." (The Guardian)
March 12: Cairo's women-only metro carriages reveal Egypt tensions
"On Cairo's Metro, women have the choice of sharing carriages with men or travelling in carriages reserved only for them. It is a unique place that offers a window into life in Egypt's capital." (BBC News)
March 17: Egypt honors mother who dressed as man for 43 years to provide for family
"An Egyptian woman who disguised herself as a man for 43 years in order to make a living for her daughter after the death of her husband was honored Tuesday, March 17 by the government as the 'ideal mother' of Luxor governorate." (Al Arabiya)
March 17: Egypt to try police officer for killing female protester
"Egypt's chief prosecutor on Tuesday, March 17 referred a police officer to trial for the killing of Shaimaa el-Sabbagh, a protester, during a peaceful demonstration nearly two months earlier in a widely documented shooting." (Washington Post)
March 18: The rising number of female Egyptian entrepreneurs
"A 2014 report by the Global Entrepreneurship Development Institute, which studied how straightforward it was for women to grow businesses in 30 countries around the world, put Egypt in 28th place... however, Alia El Mahdi, a professor of economics at Cairo University, says that today's rate of 11 percent of Egyptian entrepreneurs being women compares with just 3 percent eight years ago." (BBC News)
March 21: Egyptian Official Says Protester, Shaimaa el-Sabbagh, Died in Shooting Because She Was Too Thin
"A poet and activist hit with a blast of birdshot from a police shotgun during a march to lay flowers in Tahrir Square in Cairo died because she was too thin, a spokesman for Egypt's medical examiner said late Saturday, March 21. The poet and activist, Shaimaa el-Sabbagh, was killed on January 24." (New York Times)
March 11: Iran: Proposed laws reduce women to 'baby making machines' in misguided attempts to boost population
"Women in Iran could face significant restrictions on their use of contraceptives and be further excluded from the labour market unless they have had a child if two proposed laws are approved, says a new report by Amnesty International published on March 11." (Amnesty International)
March 11: How Iranian women are using Sharia to their benefit
"The main justification for discriminatory laws against women is that they are based on shari'a, and therefore cannot and should not be challenged. For decades, Iranian women have struggled to prove that shari'a does not discriminate against women per se." (Al-Monitor)
March 15: Iran's female MPs show mixed record
"Nine out of 290 members of the Iranian parliament are women. This 3 percent membership puts Iran near the bottom of the international measures of female parliamentary representation. Women have never been more than 5 percent of the parliament, but they have always been among the key political players on both sides of the political divide in the Islamic Republic." (Al-Monitor)
March 16: Rocking the casbah: the gig of a lifetime that put Iranian women back on stage
"Three years ago, the Iranian singer and composer Sara Najafi came up with the idea of hosting a concert in Tehran, her hometown. The concert would be 'a festival of the female voice' featuring solo singers – not just Iranians, but artists from France and Tunisia, too. Nothing like it had been attempted in Iran for 35 years: after the Islamic Revolution of 1979, women were banned from singing solo in public." (The Guardian)
March 16: Iran's Oppression of Rights, Women Worse Under Rouhani, UN Says
"Violations of human rights and oppression of minorities and women in Iran have worsened under President Hassan Rouhani, who took office as a moderate promising to improve the lives of Iranians, Ahmed Shaheed, the UN's special rapporteur on human rights in Iran, said." (Bloomberg)
March 11: Israeli ultra-Orthodox women target the job market
"Ultra-Orthodox women have told the publication 'The Marker' what is required of them on the job. The key: the right social connections and being born to the right parents. They say important qualities for women in the ultra-Orthodox, or Haredi, community are being Ashkenazi, born in Jerusalem and a graduate with good grades from the new seminary run by Rabbi Yeshayahu Lieberman. Most important is being the daughter of a highly regarded family." (Haaretz)
March 16: Two women shape Israel's politics
"Young Knesset members Ayelet Shaked from HaBayit HaYehudi and Stav Shaffir from the Zionist Camp are the quintessential symbols of the generational changes in Israeli politics. The two women hail from opposite sides of the traditional political spectrum that extends from right to left: Shaked is a prominent figure in HaBayit HaYehudi (a religious party) and Shaffir, with Labor, is an icon of the rejuvenated social-democratic left. Nevertheless, the two have a lot in common when it comes to shaping the future political establishment." (Al-Monitor)
March 20: Final Knesset tally bumps female Members of Knesset (MKs) up to 29
"The new Knesset will have more female MKs than any that came before it, as 29 women will vote in the new parliament, two more than in the 19th Knesset. There will also be 38 first-time MKs sworn in, from a wide variety of parties." (Jerusalem Post)
March 23: Women demand right to pass on citizenship to their children
"Over a hundred activists and their children gathered in Downtown Beirut Sunday, March 22 to protest Lebanon's nationality law that prevents them from passing citizenship to their family members. According to Lebanese law, women married to non-Lebanese cannot pass their citizenship onto their husbands or their children, which deprives them of entitlements to health and employment reserved for citizens." (Lebanon Daily Star)
March 11: Libyan woman gives opening address at UN 59th session of Commission on the Status of Women
"The Voice of Libyan Women founder Alaa Murabit addressed the audience at the UN Commission on the Status of Women this week. Murabit, one of three youth representatives for the UN Women's Global Civil Society Advisory Group, was given the honour of giving the opening address for the event, an event that took place in the same week as the 2015 celebration of International Women's Day (IWD)."
(Libya Herald)
Palestinian Territories
March 19: Palestine's first female governor recounts her struggle
"When it came to explaining the secret behind her success, Laila Ghannam gave credit to her family — in particular, her father. A supportive family is necessary for the success of women, she told Al-Monitor. 'In our family, my father supported our decisions, and he always used to tell us, 'Anyone who does not make mistakes will not learn.'" (Al-Monitor)
Saudi Arabia
March 18: Saudi woman sentenced to 70 lashes for allegedly insulting man on WhatsApp
"A Saudi Arabian court has sentenced a woman to 70 lashes after she allegedly insulted a man on the messaging service WhatsApp. The 32-year-old, who has not been named, admitted to insulting the man but also refuted the verdict, according to reports in GulfNews.com and other local media." (The Independent)
March 12: Chemical exposure in Syria tied to miscarriages, birth defects
"Pregnant women exposed to chemical weapons during the August 2013 attack in Syria were much more likely to miscarry or deliver prematurely, new findings show. The study also found a high rate of serious birth defects among babies whose mothers had been exposed to poison gas." (Reuters)
March 19: (Op-Ed) The Women in the Middle of the War by Manal Omar
"Stop by a women's shelter in Syria today, and the inhabitants will tell you just how bleak the future looks. After more than four years of civil war, the pervasive sexual assault that has become a blight on the country, regardless of allegiance, shows no sign of abating. As violence increases, more women are growing convinced that the end of the war is more significant than who emerges as the winner." (Foreign Policy)
March 20: Photo Essay: Syria's women commandos
"A member of a Female Commando Battalion which is part of the Syrian Army, wears her headgear in the government-controlled area of Jobar, a suburb of Damascus March 19, 2015. This Battalion consists of several hundred female fighters who have had military training and carry out combat duties. Picture taken during a Syrian Army organized trip." (Reuters)
March 18: What a Houthi-controlled Yemen means for women
"Houthis published a circular in January 2015, pertaining to women in the city of Amran, banning them from going out following the Maghrib prayer, prohibiting them from bringing male bands or singers to their gatherings or parties, banning the use of cameras at women's gatherings and parties, including mobile phones with cameras." (Al-Monitor)

BJ'S BLOG 04/11/13 "Hooters in Trouble"
by BJ Shea
posted Apr 11 2013 10:00AM
Yesterday on the show, we read a story about a Hooters waitress that is suing the company!
Sandra Lupo is a 27-year-old Hooters waitress from Missouri. Last summer, she had to undergo brain surgery to remove a large mass. The surgery resulted in her having to buzz all her hair off.
The manager allegedly told her to wear a wig when she came back to work but she refused because it irritated her wound. Her hours were allegedly cut down to the point where she was forced to quit.
Lupo has decided to sue the franchise in federal court for violating the Missouri Human Rights Act saying that they discriminated against her disability. Lupo's lawsuit alleges that her surgery wound constituted as a disability.
This is really a difficult situation for both parties. There are many occupations that do hire based on looks like acting, dancing, and Hooters is known for having attractive women as their servers.
At the same time, I understand that Lupo needed to make money while she was healing.
I really think that we need a better system in place when someone is sick/healing and can't work.
I've seen how some hospitals just push patients out the door before their ready and the sad truth is that they immediately have to go back t o work to pay for their medical expenses.
If we had a better system in place, Lupo could had rested, had more time to let her wound heal and not worry about how she is going to pay for her bills.

Manager is a DB
Give the girl some lighter duty while she heals and let her wear a scarf on her head. She could work as a hostess for a while or work at the t-shirt/souvenir counter, roll silverware, fill ketchup bottles, hand out menus, whatever...It's not that difficult. The manager is just a Douche could have easily found ways to keep her working, respect her as a person, and allow her time to heal. But, on the grander scale, Hooter's should provide temporary disability insurance for its workers - expensive...maybe? More expensive that the multimillion-dollar settlement this girl will get? Don't think so.

Propagation question
I have the cylindrical variety of Sans. Last year, it did grow an additional cylinder rather rapidly. I was wondering, short of the plant duplicating itself, just how are they propagated? I read the FAQs on propagating from "leaves" but I would hardly describe these spears as leaves,or are they? Since winter seems to be lingering here, I really need some projects to keep me from pruning outside stuff before the last historic freeze date! (This is my first and only sans and I am enjoying the eclectic appearance of it.) Thanks!
Unless you want to practice the long and possibly futile art of getting one to bloom and then self-pollinating it, you should have no problem rooting this species from the leaves, which are rather long with respect to their diameter. Rooting Sansevieria leaves is an "activity" for only the most patient people, i.e., it seems to take an eon.
Padraig: I don't have a S.cylindrica, but I do have a S.sp. Hargesia Somalia with tubular leaves. So far I have rooted two leaves, and one of them is finally starting to grow an offset. It does take a long time; I took my first cutting in November.
The link is to thread on my plant in the gallery section.
Here is a link that might be useful: S. sp. Hargesia Somalia
My medium large Sans. cylindrica plant needs to be repotted and/or divided as the pot is being pushed out of shape by the root system.
I have been successful getting a broken leaf to root. But I am nervous about cutting or breaking apart the mother plant so may just move it into a larger pot without dividing it.
Does anyone hve any tips on dividing this plant? Thanks in advance.
I like to let my plants stay intact, as I find that each new growth is larger than if I divide. I'm working towards getting the plants to full maturity (in zone 6), so I need all the leaves I can get. I've tried leaf cuttings a couple of times - I'll only do it on plants that won't look terribly disfigured if I remove a leaf or portion. I had some luck woth S. hallii, but it does take a couple of months to a year to get results. I have found that once my plants get started, they put out new growths regularly, and it is all I can do to keep them all. The only slow plants that I would like to speed up are some of the variegates - some can be agonizingly slow. I had to wait 5 years for a S. parva 'white'(!) to produce its first pup. Once it got started, I was very tempted to keep dividing to make it develop as many pups as possible. I resisted, and I now see that more pups are produced regularly. Would it produce faster if I divided? I'm not sure, but I'm happy with the plant, so I guess that's all that counts.
It is very interesting to propagate with leaf cuttings, thoiugh, adn I suggest it to everyone here. I usually split the leaf longitudinally for 1" before planting, and I find that I get a lot more sprouts when compared to an unsplit leaf.
Joe 'happy propagating' DeRosa
Hey Joe,
What an interesting idea!! Pls clarify, "for an inch before planting" how so, cut/slice from from the top or the bottom pls? I'd like to try this right away, as I have some Sans. which I can only spare 1 leaf to prop.
Coooooool idea, more details pls???!!!
Sorry it took so long to respond. Splitting the leaf or stem is an old begonia and african violet trick. Split the stem (where it is going to be placed in the soil) before potting it. The plant will grow new plants from the calus that forms, and the bigger the calus you can get, the more plants you can get. This doesn't always work, but with most of my plants it's been a charm. I have tried two leaves at the same time - one split, one not, and I got 3 plants from teh unsplit leaf, and 11 from the split leaf. I don't claim that this is a certainty, and a lot can go wrong, but it is worth a try.
Joe 'no claim is made that you will be successful' DeRosa

Tangerines seeking new players...Blackpool manager Ian Holloway has revealed that the Seasiders have been offered "thousands" of players as they look to build for their debut Premier League season.
The Tangerines' gaffer admits that he is having to look very carefully for the right sort of players though, and it is not a straightforward task.
"I feel like a gold prospector," Holloway quipped to reporters about his hunt for potential stars.
"One of them may be a lump of gold but most won't be.
"I'm being serious when I say we've had thousands, not hundreds, of players recommended to us by agents."
Holloway maintains though that caution is the key for a club like Blackpool, who cannot gamble recklessly with their finances.
"But although I need players, I won't be launching myself into the transfer market and making crazy signings of overpaid and overrated players," he added.
"Everyone else has fallen into that trap but I'm not going to.
"I am going to take my time, work with my chairman and try to get some real good people in to help my lads, who were so fantastic last season."

The other grows stronger.
FBI special agent Mick Kline courts danger. When he isn't chasing criminals, he's chasing storms. Then his brother is brutally murdered, and Mick is convinced that Aaron died at the hands of a serial killer. Ignoring the counsel of friends, fellow agents, and police, he launches his own quest for the truth.
Years before and miles away, Faith Kemper survived the attack that claimed her husband's life--but it stole her sight and shattered her faith. Now she's hiding, hoping to disappear in a tiny Texas town. Then a knock on her door from an FBI agent investigating his brother's murder begins to unravel her safety net.
Faith's fear and Mick's thirst for revenge pit them against a faceless killer whose soul harbors a storm of its own.

We stayed at Falcon Point in a 2 bedroom unit as an exchange through II from 7/13 - 7/20. This was our second visit, after staying there 10 years ago in a studio.
Pros. The rooms have been renovated recently and are pretty nice, especially the kitchens. Bathrooms are fairly small, but clean and well maintained.
Wifi worked fine for us, we had no problems with connection or speed. As a whole, the resort has about every amenity you would expect in a mid-level property. Decent clubhouse, heated pool w/hot tubs, grills, some underground parking, etc. Location is pretty good -- I miss the morning walks around the lake just out the back door.
Cons. The toilets are of the low water usage, high-pressure variety, which are loud when flushed during the night. Another noise issue, if you're in Unit 108 like we were, is the location of the master bedroom directly over the parking garage door, which creaks and groans up and down starting as early as 5:00 AM. We never got used to that.
This might not be our first choice of resorts in Avon, but overall we enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to stay there again if other options were unavailable (unless we got stuck in unit 108 again).

As I understand from the documentation
Lift provides
Injector trait (and its implementations) to inject dependencies as follows:
object MyInjector extends Injector {...}
val myThing: Box[Thing] = MyInjector.inject
Unfortunately, it looks too intrusive for me. I don't want my business classes to depend on the
Injector trait (and its implementation). I would like to keep my business classes clean and free of any framework dependencies.
Spring, for example, is not intrusive in this sense. That is, I do not have to add
Spring imports to my business classes in order to implement dependency injection.
Am I missing something?

A bribe is a tax of unknown amount, if you do well, more bribes are asked. If you refuse to pay, others get the concession. If the concession is too good, then it is taken from you on faked charges and given to a crony. The net result of this market inefficiency is a decline in output and a higher unit cost of output.
Cronies usually have little idea on how to properly and efficiently operate a business, they see now need to waste $$ on research or quality control. Their concern is simply for the cash they can steal.
This is how the Soviet Union fragmented. Putin and his cronies are repeating this - from a smaller asset base.
Recently there has been some try at reclaiming some of the 'Stans, by their economic amalgamation. Soon we will see the tinpot dictators of these 'Strans assassinated and pro-putin cronies installed. All this in a try to increase the asset base for Putin and cronies to slowly rape.
Now the Saudis want to help the USA in this game, as they know that the Russians will funnel cash to dissident groups all over the Arab world. (along with Iran).
So they pretend to hurt the USA, in fact they hurt Russia, This 17% interest rate will cripple Russia and the cronies will not want to return their stolen $$ - they are in it for the greed, not for Russia..

Better than the supplied bracket.,
I bought this for my Cateye light (can't remember model, but it looks identical to the new HL-EL450, so it would be the old model of that light), and it was a very worthy purchase. The bracket that came with the light was absolute gash and broke in a few weeks. I ordered this one, and it is still going strong two years later, although only for road use. If you are off road then the bumps can make the light jump out, as the little clip part that holds the light doesn't cope well with constant bumpy ground (I actually gaffer tape the light to this bracket if I'm going to be off road). At present though I have slick's on my mountain bike and only use it on road, so this bracket is perfect for that.

Great mirrors. I did glue pads to feet as recommended in other reviews. I did spend some time adjusting feet so there was no movement after tightening straps. Towed camper 700 miles on first trip--no problems. There was some whistling at 70mph, but that stopped with a slight adjustment

I love this mat! Its handy when eating out to avoid baby's food touching the table surface. We recently took a trip to Jamaica and it was a lifesaver! We could trust our daughter with a dish and she hates eating from a spoon so the place mat was pretty much her plate all the time. It worked great. Another couple with a babe the same age as ours showed up right before we left and saw us using it, thought it was the greatest thing and offered to buy it off us so they could use it for their little guy! I wanted to share the convenience of it with them so looks like I have to go buy another!

Don't believe me? I'll make a fairly long story short, but I honestly did, with a picture to prove it.
Don't you HATE people who do that? Your friends will describe a movie they just saw and go just a LITTLE too far with the plotline. I don't want to know the ending, but in case you do, "there's an app for that"
Sorry, but although I'm usually happy to hear that we're going to a museum, when I get there, I get "antsy". Just being honest. Maybe I ain't got no culture? No, not necessarily.... it has to be the right kind of museum. You feel the same?
You can almost predict who will win the Academy Rewards on Sunday. (They're not MY predictions, mind you. I ain't that smart). But this guy does makes sense..
Not sure if you know this or not (or care!), but before I got into this crazy little thing called radio, I was a piano bar player! I played some wacky places, but never like this!
You knew it would happen sooner or later. As soon as you heard the story of Julian Assange and Wikileaks, you probably said to yourself "sounds like something you'd see in the movies". Be careful what you wish for…

From what I understand from other threads, the grapple works best with the tandem if it is extended, keeping the heli out of its own ground effect bubble.
I've been trying to track down a vendor for those cnc swashplates that has them in stock, but so far all the places I've found are sold out If anyone happens across a pair post it up will ya?

The E-Flite Tandem design solves the most serious control issues I encountered in the Twister Skylift. Its frame and lower mass are less subject to mast vibration. Its differential front and rear rotor speed control of fore and aft movement make it less susceptible to "rocking horse oscillation" when it is throttled back to descend. That oscillation was often a prelude to loss of Skylift control, so E-Flite's design of their Tandem is a really welcome improvement.
That said, tandems are by design, trucks. They are built to carry cargo, and need to be flown a little differently from other co-axials. A truck can be as much fun as a Porsche and a lot more useful.

So it would be the same amount of work for half the performance improvement (Theoretically speaking). That being said, however, a tandem heli's weakest in roll authority, so maybe it would put its performance on par with say an mCX but with greater lift capacity...

The_Shrub, have you received and tried out your eflite yet? I finally got mine in today. Only one brief flight on it but just did some gentle turns to try out the response. It seems decent in response but the body doesn't seem like it will hold up well (if it's anything like my NE Solo canopy). I only did mode 1 since it was the first flight so will try mode 2 later today. It seemed like the s026's I've got would out run so will try the other mode for comparison.
It's a good looking piece but I just don't know how well it'll hold up compared to what I've seen Jr. do to the S026's, like hitting the wall and doing a 15' drop onto a hard floor.

Not to rub it in but just did a flight with mine. Been meaning to shoot some video as well. It's fun to kind of cruise around in what seems like slow motion. I think it's making me go easier on the sticks versus just hammering away like I sometimes do with the NE. This is my first eflite and everything seems uber smooth.

It woulda saved me a ton of falcon 8913 blades if I had learnt 4ch on the eflite tandem! (I've already broke 2 lower ones, and replace 2 other lower ones due to massive carnage to the leading edge, oh and one top blade )
First thing I'm going to do is hook up my micro camera to the inside of the fuselage, fashion a grapple and go fishing for rescuers :P I hope I get some decent angles with a camera mounted Inside the heli facing down at the hook

I just started flying in Jan but have a Nine Eagles 4ch coax as well as Jr. and I have some 3ch birds. So I've been playing with a 4ch for a month or so. It's still pretty different between the Nine Eagles and the eFlite even though the controls are the same the responsiveness and handling are completely different.
I've also been dealing with what I think now is a failing lower motor cause the NE just drops like a bad habit every once in a while. It's not losing power to the board but the motor completely stops. I just got a shipment in today with new canopies and skids for the NE only to break 1 skid in first 2 min of flight cause motor shut off. So I put the NE away and went back to the trusty eFlight.
There's just something mellow about flying tandems. Have to say the Syma's are rock solid. We've got a few s026's and was letting my 5yr old even learn to fly with it. Man they take a pounding.

Two tandems are better than one!!!
So I have had a double-header of Tandem fun this past weekend!! I finally got around to getting my S022 In the air and that girl is BEASTLY!!!
I've also been logging tons of flying time on my ch-113 Eflite tandem, and I gotta say that it is by far my favorite heli yet!! The control and precision I have with it far surpasses any other heli I currently own and its just getting more and more fun the more I fly her! Below are a few pics of my Tandems on the helipad. Stay tuned for more as I have in the works for the Eflite Tandem.

I'm officially classifying my MCX tandem as my fav. heli in my hangar!!!

"Vanishing Volunteers"
Subject of WHYY's "Radio Times"
Tuesday, March 17 at 10 a.m.
PHILADELPHIA — Pennsylvania, the birthplace of the volunteer fire company, may now be on the verge of becoming the volunteer fire service's final resting place, some say. That's because in less than 40 years, Pennsylvania lost about 80 percent of its volunteer firefighters — dropping from about 300,000 in 1977 to ... (Full Story)

Remember summer? #weather
The weather has got colder in the UK, but so far we have had little snow. I thought I would use a photo from summer to cheer everyone up. There are colds and flu going around now, so many of us are taking paracetamol and eating chicken soup in a bid to survive winter. (more…)
The Review: perspective
Perspective is the way we see things, such as the pictures on the wall in this photograph. They seem to get smaller as they go away from us, but we can still tell that the one on the far wall is the largest one. The boards on the ceiling and floor add to the perspective of the picture too. (more…)
The review: Manor House vintage fair this weekend
I've used a photo from the summer today, but Autumn is still quite mild. This weekend at West Bromwich Manor House they have a Vintage Fair with 40 stalls from 11am until 4pm. I still have flu, but if I feel better tomorrow I'll go to that. (more…)
The Review: getting close to nature
Mental illnesses have been in the news this week, particularly anxiety and depression. The economic problems of the last few years seems to have made the rat race even more stressful. I think we often need to get back to nature. (more…)
Online job applications

Applying for a job online can be quite a complicated process. You are often asked to upload documents such as a C.V. (resume) and a covering letter. (more…)
The Review: Black Country Festival
Here in the Black Country events are being held on the run up to Black Country Day. Today there will be an event at West Bromwich Manor House and they have stocked the bar! They have even gorra Ukulele Band! Dow miss that! (more…)
The Review: Birmingham floating market
Last weekend I photographed the narrow-boats at Waterside Place in Walsall. This weekend they are in Birmingham doing a floating market. Try to take a look at that this weekend, you could even take your camera! (more…)
The Review: Life is so complicated
Today's picture is of the River Tame. Those flowers are dying off now, but it always looks good in May. The Tame is the subject of a heritage project now and they need a volunteer to help.The application seemed a bit too complicated for a job where you don't actually get paid. (more…)
The review: honesty
No one seems to tell the truth these days do they? Look at today's picture. Asda saves us money every day? Yeah right… That's why people are flocking to Aldi and Lidl while the big supermarkets lose trade. (more…)
The Review: a green and pleasant land
The political parties have been asking voters to choose who should control local councils in the UK this week. I usually post nice photos of the Black Country, but much of it is ugly dereliction. Caused by a dereliction of duty by local politicians and council officials. This is England's 'green and pleasant land'. (more…)
