Definition of exculpate in English:
Line breaks: ex|cul|patePronunciation: /ˈɛkskʌlpeɪt
- Show or declare that (someone) is not guilty of wrongdoing: the article exculpated the mayorMore example sentences
- The right we say to be informed of distressing news, news of the death of a loved one, for example, does not exculpate the negligent driver in relation to the secondary consequences of his or her negligence.
- It falls to this judge to search out and collect evidence, both that against the accused and the evidence exculpating him.
- The mother in her evidence tried hard to exculpate the father from any responsibility.
- More example sentences
- However, in this case, it was the applicant and not the prosecution that called the co-accused to give evidence suggesting his exculpation.
- When I refer to 'defence' there, I mean it is an evidentiary burden cast on the accused which is in the nature of exculpation, justification or vindication.
- Where we disagree, then, is on the relative merit of before-the-fact permission and retroactive exculpation.
- More example sentences
- The plaintiff, in his affidavit, states that he believes there is exculpatory evidence in the possession of the various prosecuting defendants.
- It is primarily for the defence to look for and collect evidence aimed at refuting the charges (although if the Prosecutor finds exculpatory evidence, he is duty bound to disclose it to the defence).
- Defendants have a basic constitutional right of access to exculpatory witnesses in the government's custody, an integral part of the broader right to present a defense.
Pronunciation: /-ˈpeɪʃ(ə)n/
Pronunciation: /ɪksˈkʌlpət(ə)ri/
mid 17th century: from medieval Latin exculpat- 'freed from blame', from the verb exculpare, from ex- 'out, from' + Latin culpa 'blame'.

A Plus Size HalloweenThankfully it's getting easier and easier for the plus size consumer to find costumes online. Unfortunately I haven't found a wonderful selection of super sizes. A trend I've noticed is that costume dressing seems to be more about being sexy than being scary. I guess we want to be tantalized more than we want to be scared. Here are my Halloween picks for three categories (sexy, scary, and meek) and where to get them. I tried to choose the companies with the most plus size selections. You will notice some of the stores carry some of the same product. So if you find something you like at one store, be sure to check one of the others to compare prices. The one's listed here are pretty close though. Buy Costumes - This is a new one for me this year but I was quite impressed with their selection. Read the fine print as the costume may not be all you see. Lots of styles I haven't seen before elsewhere. For sexy, take a look at Saloon Girl, Vixen Pirate, Gangster Moll, Scarlet Witch and Venus. Their scary selection is slim pickings but you should check out the Devil Bride, Gothic Slayer and of course the Wicked Witch. For meek, I loved the Lady Bug, Blue Maiden and Emerald City Guard. The prices vary from $30 to well over $100. Choice: 104 plus size styles to choose from. Sizing: 1x/2x and 3x/4x (16-24). Not all costumes come in all sizes and some are only marked "plus" with no numerical number, changes are this is really Queen Size which we all know isn't really plus at all. Shipping: Ships to the United States and Canada within a week. Costume Craze - They updated the site this year so it is easier to find the plus size section. They have a lovely banner of plus size cuties too. For sexy, check out the French Maid, Southern Belle and Spanish Senorita. Nothing really I would classify as scary, unless you're like me and hate clowns. The Devil Queen is kind of cool. And in the meek you have Maid Marian, Esmeralda and the combo half Devil/Angel. Choice: 97 plus size styles to choose from. Sizing: I'm not happy with their sizing information so check sizing carefully. Many are a size range only, like 14-20. Ignore the sizing chart as the plus sizes are not even on it. Some costumes only go up to 20. Shipping: Costume Craze has a flat shipping rate of $5.99 (U.S only) no matter what you order. Will ship to the United States and Canada. Have a frightfully good Halloween Large & Lovelies!

Kelly Vacation Rentals
Heading to Jackson Hole? Consider
Kelly vacation rentals when planning your next trip to Wyoming. Whether you're planning on visiting during the summer, or you want to take advantage of the epic snow runs available over Winter and Spring, you'll find Kelly WY has much to offer no matter what time of year. Traveling alone? Search for a modest vacation rental in Kelly that is cozy enough just for one.
Why else would you want to stay in someone else's private house rental, rather than going along with your usual hotel room routine? When you factor in square feet per dollar, it quickly becomes obvious which is the better deal. Kelly condos offer more bang for your buck. Why pay for a single hotel room when you and your family can sprawl out over an entire
Kelly cabin rental?
Kelly house rentals also offer comfortable amenities you won't find at a commercial resort or hotel. Where else will you be able to fall asleep on plush, high thread count sheets, enjoy coffee on your private balcony or enjoy the convenience of ski-in/ski-out access? Staying in a Kelly cabin can also save you a mountain of money. Cook meals at home instead of spending it in town and see how much you save. Look for your Kelly rental today!

Praise: The Consummation of Joy
My understanding of the nature of worship was radically transformed by a fundamental truth I found in C.S. Lewis, who died 50 years ago this month.
What Lewis helped me grasp is best explained by looking briefly at his own struggle with worship as he explained it in the essay titled, "A Word About Praising," in his short book, Reflections on the Psalms, pages 90–98 in my worn, 1958 edition.
In a word, Lewis enabled me to recognize that not only was it permissible to enjoy God in worship, it was absolutely essential if I was truly to honor him. He said it in this one profound statement: "I think we delight to praise what we enjoy because the praise not merely expresses but completes the enjoyment; it is its appointed consummation." But there is a lot that leads up to this statement.

[JURIST] Private government watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) [advocacy website] Tuesday urged US Attorney General Michael Mukasey [official website] to appoint a special counsel to investigate whether the White House had violated the Federal Records Act and the Presidential Records Act [texts] in failing to preserve millions of missing White House e-mails [JURIST news archive]. In September 2007 CREW sued the Executive Office of the President and the National Archives and Records Administration over their alleged failure to preserve e-mails [complaint, PDF; press release] throughout the Bush administration. In its Tuesday letter [PDF text; press release] to Mukasey, CREW said:
The importance and historical significance of the missing email combined with the involvement of White House staff, make it imperative that the public have absolute confidence in whoever investigates this matter - the exact circumstance for which the special counsel provision was designed. The need for an impartial special counsel is all the more pronounced, in light of the recent history of improper White House involvement in, and politicization of, the work of the Department of Justice. For example, the administration has made clear that it will never allow the Department of Justice to pursue criminal contempt charges initiated by Congress against White House officials, including former White House Counsel Harriet Miers, and several US Attorneys were fired for refusing to politicize criminal investigations. Frankly, the Department of Justice does not have the credibility or demonstrated independence required to investigate potentially criminal conduct by White House officials.

Analytical solutions of ac electrokinetics in interdigitated electrode arrays: Electric field, dielectrophoretic and traveling-wave dielectrophoretic forces
Sun, Tao, Morgan, Hywel and Green, Nicolas G. (2007) Analytical solutions of ac electrokinetics in interdigitated electrode arrays: Electric field, dielectrophoretic and traveling-wave dielectrophoretic forces. Physical Review E, 76, (4), 046610-1-046610-18.
Full text not available from this repository.
Analysis of the movement of particles in a nonuniform field requires accurate knowledge of the electric field distribution in the system. This paper describes a method for analytically solving the electric field distribution above interdigitated electrode arrays used for dielectrophoresis (DEP) and traveling wave dielectrophoresis (twDEP), using the Schwarz-Christoffel mapping method. The electric field solutions are used to calculate the dielectrophoretic force in both cases, and the traveling wave dielectrophoretic force and the electrorotational torque for the twDEP case. This method requires no approximations and can take into account the Neumann boundary condition used to represent an insulating lid and lower substrate. The analytical results of the electric field distributions are validated for different geometries by comparison with numerical simulations using the finite element method.

Character OutlineEdit
Superbi Squalo (スペルビ スクアーロ, Superubi Sukuāro) is an assassin and the second-in-command of the Varia, the Vongola Famiglia's independently-ran assassination squad. His most notable feature is his long silver hair, which he keeps long to show his dedication to his boss, Xanxus, and refuses to cut it until Xanxus replaces Tsunayoshi Sawada as the 10th Vongola boss. Often seen wearing his Varia uniform, he is characterized by his loud personality, and has a tendency to shout "Voi!" (the Italian version of the plural "you") to vent his frustration. Squalo, as revealed in the Rain Ring Battle against Takeshi Yamamoto, cut off his left hand and replaced it with a mechanized sword, which was done so he could better relate to the Sword Emperor, Tyr, who also happened to be the previous Boss of the Varia and fought without his left hand. Squalo seems to be quite perceptive, seeing right through Genkishi's Mist Illusions when Genkishi tried to fake a loss and even seeing through Chrome Dokuro's skilled illusion of Yamamoto, which Mammon mentions that only real experts could see through.
In the Official Reborn Secret Bullet Novel (X-fiamma), it was also revealed that Squalo's left stump aches whenever Xanxus is in mortal danger. This occurs because of the connection between the promise he made and his resolve to follow Xanxus.
Plot OverviewEdit
Varia ArcEdit
Squalo first arrives in Namimori after battling Basil all the way to where Tsuna and his Family are dining downtown. He, at that time, does not recognize Tsuna as the 10th Vongola Boss. Yamamoto and Gokudera then step in to aid Tsuna in fighting him, but they are easily defeated by Squalo. Squalo takes Yamamoto on first and deduces that he doesn't know a style because his swings are light. He defeats him by shooting several small amounts of Gunpowder from his Sword into the ground, blowing him up. Next, after Gokudera attempts to bombard Squalo, he quickly slashes the fuses off Gokudera's Dynamite, extinguishing them and leaving Gokudera in surprised shock. He then delivers a harshly punishing kick to Gokudera, rendering him unconscious and unable to battle.
Dying Will Tsuna steps up to square off with Squalo, but he easily catches his opponent's punches while simultaneously realizing who Tsuna truly is. Squalo dexterously holds and beats Tsuna before he can land the finishing blow. Soon thereafter, Dino, the current Boss of the Chiavarone Famiglia, steps in to confront Squalo, questioning him on his behavior in fighting against children. Squalo disregards Dino and steals the Fake Half Vongola Rings fleetingly, reluctant to cause even more trouble by fighting an allied Family.
Squalo delivers the Rings to Xanxus, the Boss of the Varia, as was his task, but Xanxus recognizes them as Fakes sooner than Reborn and the others expected. He appears in most of the Ring Battles as a spectator, as well as a commenter on the Varia's side. Later, Squalo fights Yamamoto in the Rain Ring Battle. Squalo is certain he's going to win when he discovers that Yamamoto fights with a style he has already learned and beaten. But he ends up losing the battle because he does not know the secret of the Shigure Souen style: it branches off at who their past mentor was to make sure that the style remains strong and undefeatable. In the process, the Techniques may change. Squalo is defeated by Yamamoto's Technique that he added to the Sword Style; Mirroring Rain. Squalo, now unconscious, falls into the water within the Rain stage, where a shark has been released. The watching Vongola and Varia fear the worst and assume that Squalo is dead. Later, in the Sky Battle, Squalo reappears, albeit wheelchair-bound and badly injured with Dino and the Cavallone, much to Tsuna's and his guardians' surprise. Dino reveals that the Cavallone had set up men within the Rain stage to rescue the loser who would fall into the water at the battle's end; Dino states that he had expected Yamamoto to lose the battle and had put preparations in place to save him, but wound up saving Squalo instead. Squalo, in his hospital room, refused to reveal any information about Xanxus and his plans to Dino but, at the Sky Battle, was accepted as a spectator along with Dino and several Chiavarone members.
Future ArcEdit
Squalo is seen again during the Future Arc when he takes command of the Varia's core group (minus Xanxus, Gola Mosca, and Mammon) with a new Member named Flan participating in their Raid in Italy. The group then splits up into Belphegor and Flan, Leviathan, and Lussuria, and Squalo alone. He encounters some of the lower ranking Varia Members assigned to feed Xanxus, but then senses enemies approaching. He releases his Squalo Grande Pioggia (Heavy Rain Shark) to defeat them.Squalo later comes to the forefront when he learns that Yamamoto lost to Genkishi. He arrives in the Vongola Hideout with a gift of tuna to Dino, and then proceeds to viciously attack Yamamoto by kneeing him in the gut who, without his guard up, is easily knocked out. Squalo then carries him off for training.
Choice ArcEdit
Squalo decides to come for Choice and hid in the base Shoichi constructed and as such became the second known stowaway. It seems that Yamamoto harbors no ill will towards him.
During Tsuna's fight with Torikabuto, he notices that Tsuna's Sky Lion is very similar to Xanxus's Sky Lion (they are from the same weapon series).
He later defends Yuni from an attack by Kikyo and Zakuro with Hibari, staying behind to fight alongside Dino so Tsuna can escape with Yuni.
After returning to Vongola HQ, he tries contacting Lussuria for backup, though nobody can be sent. The transmission gets cut off by Zakuro's attack. Squalo is able to use his Rain Flames to fend off Zakuro's Storm Flames, and tries to buy time while the others escape. He loses his prosthetic sword hand and is defeated by Zakuro without any difficulty. He is later revealed to have survived. Dino believes Squalo was defeated only because Byakuran has fought them in a parallel world and therefore knows all their techniques, briefing the Real Six Funeral Wreaths on their Abilities, Strengths, Techniques, and how to counter them. He loses his hand, which he threw away for the emperor's sword and understanding of his technique. It is shown when Ghost is absorbing their flames.
Later after the final battle with Byakuran, he was talking with Yamamoto before everyone's return to the past by asking was he going to play baseball again and calling him the naive brat. He then leaves with Yamamoto thanking him.
Inheritance Succession ArcEdit
Squalo was seen taking Mammon away with Belphegor after the Mist Inheritance Test in Kokuyo Land.Inheritance Ceremony ArcEdit
The Varia appear at the Ceremony except for Xanxus, who Squalo states was absent and wouldn't attend. He and Dino were able to see through Chrome's illusion of Yamamoto and questioned Tsuna about it, and offered their assistance.
During the Simon's attack at the Ceremony, Squalo alongside the other Varia members and Dino were attacked by Adelheid who was using her abilities to prevent them from entering the fight. After the attack, Squalo offered the Ninth the assistance of the Varia in tracking the Shimon family, in which his assistance was refused due to the Ninth not wishing to produce any more victims.
When the Simon's base has been discovered, a meeting is held between the Ninth and Tenth family in which Squalo represented the Varia. Squalo became outraged at Tsuna's opinion of Enma's attack and stated the conflict between the two families was a Mafia war, and refused the idea of the Ninth only sending the Vongola X Guardians and Reborn to the Simon Famiglia Base.
The Curse of the Rainbow ArcEdit
Squalo is first seen in the Curse of the Rainbow Arc during the meeting in the Varia's dining room. He is the one who explains to the group that they are going to scout Flan to the Varia as a new officer. Despite vehement objections from every member except Xanxus and Mammon, Squalo goes ahead with the mission. He flies with the rest of the Varia, minus Xanxus, to the secluded region of France, Jura where Flan is rumored to live. They send Mammon to find his location from Flan's elderly grandmother, and follow the river like she says. Squalo and the other ascend the clifface, commenting on how it was impossible for a normal to be able to reach a place such as that. At the top, they come face to face with the Kokuyo Gang. Bel spots Flan first, and they all watch as he notices their presences. However, Flan mistakes the Varia for tooth-decay fungi and Mukuro's gang for fairies and runs in fear of them after Bel attempts to kill him. He and Mukuro corner Flan with their sword and trident respectively, and begin interrogating him. Squalo is the first to realize that Flan might have amnesia, and questions the child to affirm this. He and Mukuro each suggest simultaneously that the other take Flan. Eventually the situation devolves to a game of Ladder to decide custody, until Flan stands from the river and asks if it is ok for him to choose his own fate, pointing to one of the two groups. It is currently unknown which team he chose. Later, after Mammon requests Xanxus and Varia to fight on his behalf, Squalo is briefly seen walking in Japan along with the other main Varia members, with Dino watching them. The Varia end up staying at the same hotel as Dino and the Chiavarone Famiglia.
On the first day of battle, the Varia encounter and start fighting Enma, at the time Skull's sole representative. The battle is one-sided, with Enma sustaining much damage as the Varia show off the strength of their new rings. They, at last, prepare their killing blows to finish off Enma. Skull desperately tries to save Enma and yells "Present!" in order to release his Arcobaleno curse for a short time, returning to his full-power adult form. Skull, in his full strength, defends Enma from the Varia's killing shots with Undead Body. Squalo and the Varia are surprised by this, but are unable to do anything more because the 10 minute battle ends right then. They leave, swearing to finish off Enma the next time they meet.
At the start of the second day of battle, Squalo and the Varia encounter Hibari and Fon. The two teams are surprised to meet each other, but prepare to fight anyway. Squalo's battler watch was destroyed by Fon, leaving only Xanxus and Mammon to fight Hibari and Fon. At the end of the battle, Hibari destroyed his boss watch, disqualfying his own team from the representative battle. Xaxnus intended to do the same, but he, along with other Varia members stops him. Shortly after, the Vindice appears, heavily injured the entire members, though Squalo still able to fight using the spare watch. When the third battle start, Mammon helped his team to escape using his remaining curse release time.
At the fourth day of the battle, he, Xanxus, Mukuro, Dino, and Byakuran confronts Jager and Bermuda, stopping them from helping Small Gia and Big Pino. They are shocked to witness Jager's strength who then cut off Xanxus' right arm. Squalo immediately attacks Jager once he realized this, but Jager easily dodged and shattered his sword and stab through his chest, rendering Squalo unable to fight. Soon after the battle, Mammon replaced his pierced heart with an illusion temporarily until they can find a heart fit to transplant. It is unknown if the latter charged him or not.

Re: Cracked Stratosphere Screen
$130 is extremely high for this, I have seen the kit for $69... If you are going to replace the LCD, you should change the digitizer as well, not individually. Honestly, for that money I would send it in to Samsung and get it repaired... It seems to me a user on Android Forums did this and the cost was $134 with shipping. If you could get the screen kit for around $70 or so then I would give it a go but I am not sure I would recommend it to others (I am a phone/network/computer technician by trade and have access to a clean room and tools). Also, check with your local Radio Shack, some of them do screen replacements onsite for $99-$149 for most phones. I would check this thread before dropping any cash.
Also, do you have the Asurion insurance? If so, $99 and you can get a refurb... I always get it on every phone.Last edited by acejavelin; 11-25-2012 at 10:58 AM.

need help pls !
hello bros, iam new in this site =) so iam beginner in photography, i didn't even use a dslr, so iam planning to get one, i think iam gonna buy pentax k500 but i saw nikon d3200 so my question is which is better (my buget is 440 CHF, about 500 USD, and i mainly want it for portraits) thnx for ur help bros =)
The trouble with your question is that the Nikon owners will say the Nikon is best, and the Pentax owners will say the Pentax is best. And then the Sony owners will jump in to say that Sony cameras are best. Almost all current cameras are good or excellent. Buy the one that feels best in your hands, learn to use it, and then you will know what you are looking for in your next camera (in 3 or 4 years time). Continue Reading

Best consumer DSLR under €1000 incl. lens
Just now I read two articles on here about a Pentax K-500 and the Canon 100D. After that I read that the Pentax' AF is less than Canon/Nikon's. So and then I found some articles about the D(3100/)3200/3300 and the D5100. I have no clue how to differentiate them. At the moment I use a Canon S100 and I want better image quality. Overall and in low-light scenes. The ability to use a lens for objects further away is nice as well since the S100 has only 5x zoom. I had a Alpha 100 in the past. I wasn't that impressed with the image quality and I thought it was a bit heavy to carry everywhere. (Especially with two lenses) But if a Nikon is much better then weight is less important. I really would like better pictures of horse riding inside for example. With the S100 these pictures don't look very nice and the 5x zoom is a pity as well in such situations. At those times I miss my Alpha 100 quite a bit. Still I'm a bit of a beginner. I also used a very cheap Canon compact after the Alpha 100 ...
I can't say it is the absolute best way to spend your money, but you can't go wrong with a Pentax K50 body only, Sigma or a Tamron 17-50mm, f2.8 plus a Pentax 55-300mm for reach, but not if movement or very low light is involved in the reach. If movement or low light the a Tamron 90mm, f2.8 will give you some reach, and that is about the most reach you can afford for low light and movement. So pick one from the 17-50mm and one from the 55-300mm or 90mm and you will be happy, well you will never be completely happy with any gear. I know because I have the K30 and the S100, the Tamron 17-50mm and Pentax 55-300mm. if you can live with 90mm the Tamron isabsolutely amazing and a fast, low light lens to boot. the dal version of the 55-300mm is an exceptional value. If you want to take full advantage of the weather resistant sealing of the K50 then get the WR kit lens also, the 18-135mm version over the 18-55mm if you can afford it. BTW what you heard about the AF on the K500 is a bunch of ... Continue Reading
This is of no consequence, IMO. Normal noise levels will probably wipe out any practical use that the addition of more bits would give. I'd be surprised if it makes a discernible difference even with the best full frame sensors. Continue Reading

K-500 Sensor Rattle
I just upgraded from a K-100D to a K-500. What an amazing camera - I'm so happy I finally moved up! My question is about the sensor shift mechanism. The sensor in the K-500 seems to move around much more easily and noisily than the K-100. When I have an old manual lens (m series 100 mm macro) mounted on the K-500 and am using the live view/focus peaking, the sensor moves around and makes noise with the slightest movement of the camera. Is that just normal operation of the sensor shift trying to compensate for the lens movement/shake? Or, is mine just a little too loose and noisy? Thanks in advance for any answers.

I love the jewelry armoire. It holds a lot of jewelry and takes up no additional space in the room. The inside mirror is a nice addition. It is also nice having everything together in one spot. This has led me to mix and match pieces that I previously would not have thought to put together. I also find that I am wearing jewelry that was previously forgotten as these items were stored in out of the way places. I am very pleased with this purchase.
You will not be disappointed in this armiore. I got the white one although the photo did not show the inside but it is the same as the inside of the dark framed one. I guess you pay a bit more just for the white. I got the white so it will blend in with my bedroom door. I was happy when it arrived only 3 days after I ordered it, to find that the hooks that hang the mirrow where also white (they are dark ones in the photo). I don't know why it took me so long to order this but i am so happy I did. Super easy to put up too. Now All my jewelry is neated organzied now.
I've always wanted a jewelry armoire furniture piece because I have a lot of jewelry. The necklaces always got tangled. I don't have the space for a free-standing armoire but this is perfect. I researched for awhile because I was worried about reading "cheap" reviews. However, I am SO glad I bought this! I replaced my other full length mirror on my closet door so this doesn't take up added space and it holds all of my jewelry! It's well constructed and looks like it cost way more than it actually does. Love it!
Even though the picture they show doesnt show the inside of the mirror you can look at the other colored ones and they are the same. I love the option that they give you hardware to hang it on the door or on the wall this piece will clean up alot of cluttered jewelry I have sprawn out everywhere on my dresser and not take any space up at all in my small bedroom and who doesnt like a full length mirror! :)
For the money, this should have been better made. One way it could have been better is to have the little pockets slide out like draws. It is hard to get at smaller earrings using these stationary pockets. Also, who has so many rings! Should have made this component smaller. Warning - it came with a factory odor that lingers to this day! (i've had it about a week.)
Great for the value. may need to put velcro stcikiesi in the back for support, and somekind of handle to open the door.
I received the jewelry armoire in exactly 2 days after I placed the order. It is perfect for my needs. I have it hung over my closet door and have already filled it with my jewelry that I was keeping in drawers, boxes, etc. The product is exactly how pictured. I checked other sites before purchasing this item and Overstock's price was the best and as usual, the delivery was fast as well. I am very happy with this purchase.
Nice storage jewelry closet! We love that there is a mirror on it, so handy! It is bulky, so you may not want to hang it over a small bathroom door. We used some putty to stick it down firmer to the door so that it didn't bump against the door everytime we opened and closed the door. It is heavy so the hangers will scrape your paint if you slide it across the door. Lift up the hangers when you adjust/center the mirror then lower down the jewlery closet once centered.
Found this cool mirror to replace a closet mirror. Caught my eye because of its more than just a mirror! It has tons of room for all my jewelry and it so much easier now to get ready in a snap! Instead of raking through all my tins trying to accessorize it's all right there for you! Just love lOVE love this mirror!
I have had my eye on this for a long time. I ordered this on my husbands behalf for my Christmas gift. 1) it is made in America. 2) I have a large amount of costume jewelry. It was easy to assemble, just screw in the over the door hangers to the back of the cabinet. My husband thought this was one of those hours long projects. When I told him if it takes more than five minutes something is wrong. The longest time spent was waiting for him to go and get the right screwdriver. We placed the box on the bed. Opened the box carefully as not to damage the cabinet. When he saw it was totally assembled , he was the happiest man on the planet. There is a small area were 1 inch X 3 inch which was not finished in the topcoat of paint just the white flat paint. The only way to make this better is if it locked. I emptied two jumbled jewelry boxes and a medium shopping bag. I "found" things I haven't seen in years. I am wearing new earrings to work every day. Or people think they are new. I love being able to see everything at once. I found two more boxes yesterday of a special fifteen year gift of earrings and a pendant set in sterling silver from my employer. I continue to add more jewelry as I find it . This is a must for any woman with out of control jewelry.

Dozens of balloons were released by the family and friends of Kaitlin Gerber.
It's been less than one week since Kaitlin was shot and killed by her ex-boyfriend.
Tonight her loved ones gathered to say goodbye at the Rib Cage in Maumee.
Kaitlin worked there since she was 14 years old.
"I want people to remember her smile. She was such a pretty happy person, she had an amazing personality," said Rachael Mhaewski, Kaitlin's friend, who organized the event.
Kaitlin Gerber was 20 years old.

Apple on Tuesday patched Java for the aged OS X Snow Leopard and tweaked Safari to give users more control over what websites they let run the vulnerability plagued Oracle software.
Oracle on Tuesday shipped an update for Java 6 and Java 7 to patch up to 42 bugs -- the number depends on the version and platform -- for Windows and OS X. Because Apple maintains Java 6 for OS X -- unlike Java 7, which Oracle handles -- it followed with its own update.
[ Also on InfoWorld: Java 7 Update 21 to fix bugs, change applet warning messages. | Learn how to greatly reduce the threat of malicious attacks with InfoWorld's Insider Threat Deep Dive PDF special report. | Stay up to date on the latest security developments with InfoWorld's Security Central newsletter. ]
The Apple update was important beyond the fact that it fixed 21 Java flaws.
Not all Mac users can upgrade to the newest version, Java 7, which requires OS X Lion, or its successor, Mountain Lion. OS X Snow Leopard users are stuck on Java 6, and must rely on Apple to provide patches for that version.
Fortunately, Oracle has reversed an earlier commitment to halt security updates for Java 6 -- the end for Java 6 was originally slated for February, but Oracle extended it to early March when it shipped "out-of-band," or emergency, patches -- and continues to support 2006's Java 6.
That meant Apple had access to the Java 6 patches and could, as Computerworld speculated last month, keep serving fixes to Snow Leopard.
The Oracle/Apple move was smart: According to Web metrics firm Net Applications, Snow Leopard accounted for 27% of all copies of OS X used to access the Internet in March. The 2009 operating system has resisted retirement, and in fact powered more Macs last month than OS X Lion, its 2011 successor.
If Oracle and Apple had not continued to support Snow Leopard with Java patches, the percentage of unprotected Mac users would have jumped from the current 9% to a whopping 36%, or more than a third of the installed base.
Oracle did not say how long it will continue to provide patches for Java 6 to Windows users, and thus how long Apple will be able to issue security updates to its customers still running Snow Leopard.
But Apple could do so for months to come. Even after Oracle halts support for Java 6, it will still distribute patches to enterprises that have negotiated contract support plans. Apple will probably have access to those only-for-corporate-customers patches and will use them to draft updates for its own users.
The last public patches for Java 5, for example, shipped in November 2009, but Apple continued to issue Java 5 updates for OS X Leopard until June 2011, or 20 months later.

WASHINGTON — The Carlyle Group plans to buy a controlling stake in the photo and video distributor Getty Images from private equity firm Hellman & Friedman in a $3.3 billion deal.
Carlyle Group said today that it will partner with Getty Images management in the deal. Company co-founder and Chairman Mark Getty and the Getty family will roll their ownership interests into the deal. CEO and co-founder Jonathan Klein also will invest equity in the company.
Seattle-based Getty Images provides stock photography and creates and distributes still images, video and multimedia products. Washington, D.C.-based Carlyle is one of the biggest private equity firms in the world.
The deal is expected to close later this year.
Carlyle Partners V, a $13.7 billion U.S. buyout fund, will provide equity financing. J.P. Morgan, Barclays, Credit Suisse, Goldman Sachs and RBC Capital Markets have provided committed debt financing.
Hellman & Friedman bought Getty Images and took it private in 2008 in a deal valued at $2.04 billion. It paid $34 per share for Getty's outstanding shares and took on about $300 million in debt.

Indian director releases film on Mumbai attack
Friday - 3/1/2013, 4:30am  ET
NEW DELHI (AP) -- Indian filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma's crime thriller based on the 2008 terror attack on Mumbai has opened in theaters worldwide.
"The Attacks of 26/11" captures three hours in the lives of two men involved in the deadly attacks in which 10 gunmen laid siege to India's financial hub, leaving 166 people dead.
Varma's offering is a dramatic reconstruction of the attack viewed through the perspective of Mumbai's police chief and the lone gunman who survived the attack.
The film stars veteran Bollywood actor Nana Patekar as the police commissioner. Sanjeev Jaiswal reprises the role of Ajmal Kasab, the terrorist caught after he gunned down people at a crowded railway station.
The film will be shown at the Berlin International Film Festival 2013 in the panorama and competition sections.

Pope's Address to Assembly of Catholic Universities
It is important for everyone, professors and students, never to lose sight of the end pursued -- to be an instrument of the evangelical proclamation.
The years of the higher ecclesiastical studies can be compared with the experience that the apostles lived with Jesus: Being with him, they learned the truth, to become later heralds everywhere.
* * *
Venerated Brothers in the Episcopate and in the Priesthood,
Illustrious Rectors, Academic Authorities and Professors,
Dear Students, Brothers and Sisters,
I receive you with joy and thank you for having come "ad Petri Sedem," to be confirmed in your important and committed duty of teaching, study and research at the service of the Church and of the whole of society. I cordially thank Cardinal Zenon Grocholewski for the words he addressed to me on presenting this meeting, in which we recall two particular anniversaries, the 30th of the apostolic constitution "Sapientia Christiana," promulgated on April 15, 1979, by the Servant of God John Paul II, and the 60th anniversary of the recognition by the Holy See of the Statute of the Federation Internationale des Universites Catholiques (FIUC).
I am happy to recall with you these significant anniversaries, which offer me the possibility to manifest once again the indispensable role of ecclesiastical faculties and Catholic universities in the Church and in society. The Second Vatican Council underlined it clearly in the declaration "Gravissimum Educationis" when it exhorted ecclesiastical faculties to deepen their knowledge in the various sectors of the sacred sciences, to have an ever more profound knowledge of revelation, to explore the treasure of Christian wisdom, foster ecumenical and interreligious dialogue, and respond to the problems that are arising in the cultural realm (cfr No. 11).
The same conciliar document recommend the promotion of Catholic universities, distributing them in the various regions of the world and, above all, taking care of their qualitative level to form persons versed in learning, prepared to give witness to their faith in the world and to carry out tasks of responsibility in society (cfr No. 10).
The council's invitation found a vast echo in the Church. Today there are, in fact, more than 1,300 Catholic universities and almost 400 ecclesiastical faculties, spread over the five continents, many of which have arisen in the last decades, in testimony of a growing attention of local Churches to the formation of ecclesiastics and laity in culture and research.
The apostolic constitution "Sapientia Christiana," from its first expressions, shows the urgency, still present, to overcome the existing breach between faith and culture, inviting to a greater commitment of evangelization, in the firm conviction that Christian revelation is a transforming force, destined to permeate ways of thinking, criteria of judgment, and norms of behavior. It is able to illumine, purify and renew the customs of men and their cultures (cfr Proemio, I), and must constitute the central point of teaching and research, in addition to the horizon that illumines nature and the objects of every ecclesiastical faculty.
From this perspective, while underlining the duty of the cultivators of the sacred disciplines to attain, with theological research, a more profound knowledge of the truth revealed, encouraged at the same time are contacts with the other fields of learning for a fruitful dialogue, above all for the purpose of offering a precious contribution to the mission that the Church is called to carry out in the world.
After 30 years, the basic lines of the apostolic constitution "Sapientia Christiana" still keep all their current importance. What is more, in today's society, where knowledge is increasingly specialized and sectorial, but which is increasingly marked by relativism, it is even more necessary to be open to the wisdom that comes from the Gospel. Man, in fact, is incapable of understanding himself fully and the world without Jesus Christ: Only he illumines his true dignity, his vocation, his ultimate destiny and opens the heart to a solid and lasting hope.
Dear friends, your commitment to serve the truth that God has revealed shares in the evangelizing mission of the Church: It is an ecclesial service. "Sapientia Christiana" quotes, in this regard, the conclusion of the Gospel according to Matthew: "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you" (Matthew 28:19-20).
It is important for everyone, professors and students, never to lose sight of the end pursued -- to be an instrument of the evangelical proclamation. The years of the higher ecclesiastical studies can be compared with the experience that the apostles lived with Jesus: Being with him, they learned the truth, to become later heralds everywhere.
At the same time it is important to remember that the study of the sacred sciences must never be separated from prayer, from union with God, from contemplation -- as I reminded in the recent catechesis on Medieval monastic theology -- otherwise reflections on divine mysteries run the risk of becoming a vain intellectual exercise. Every sacred science, in the end, appeals to the "science of the saints," to their intuition of the mysteries of the living God, to wisdom, which is a gift of the Holy Spirit and which is the soul of "fides quaerens intellectum" (cfr general audience, Oct. 21, 2009).
The International Federation of Catholic Universities (FIUC) was born in 1924 by the initiative of some rectors and was recognized 25 years later by the Holy See. Dear rectors of Catholic universities, the 60th anniversary of the canonical erection of your federation is a most propitious occasion to evaluate the activity carried out and to outline future commitments.
To celebrate an anniversary is to thank God who has guided our steps, but it is also to take from one's own history a further impetus to renew the will to serve the Church. In this connection, your motto is also a program for the future of the federation: "Sciat ut Serviat" -- to know in order to serve.
In a culture that manifests a "lack of wisdom, of reflection, of thought capable of operating a guiding synthesis" ("Caritas in Veritate," 31), Catholic universities, faithful to their own identity that considers Christian inspiration as valid, are called to promote a "new humanistic synthesis" (ibid., 21), a learning that is "wisdom capable of guiding man in the light of its first principles and of its ultimate ends" (ibid., 30), a learning illumined by faith.
Dear friends, the service you carry out is valuable for the mission of the Church. While I express to all of you sincere wishes for the academic year initiated a short while ago and for the full success of the FIUC's Congress, I entrust each one of you and the institutions you represent to the maternal protection of Mary Most Holy, Seat of Wisdom, and am pleased to impart to all the apostolic blessing.
