With many proclaiming the death of print media and even online media reeling from recession, the future of journalism has never been more in question.
A lot of the discussion around the future of journalism has to do with business models and money. But is there more to the discussion of business models than how to generate revenue? Is it possible that the product of journalism needs to be reevaluated entirely?

Sandra Bullock and George Clooney star in "Gravity." (MCT Photo / September 30, 2013) |
Emotional impact is not the first quality one thinks of when the subject is science-fiction adventures. Yet that's one of the qualities that sets "Gravity" apart as a stratospheric achievement. Not just a futuristic drama, it's also a universally human drama about the need for hope in desperate situations.
A riveting tale of two American astronauts cast adrift, the film is a spectacle of brilliantly orchestrated action set-pieces and relentless narrative drive. It contains some of the most impressive feats of technical virtuosity ever committed to film.
Yet its real power is in its urgency, the pull of the story's anxiety and almost unreachable hope. Dir-
ected with a sure hand and a masterful eye by Alfonso Cuaron ("Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban," "Children of Men"), "Gravity" is not about wowing us with special effects, but touching our souls.
The camera floats gracefully through space, tracking our heroes, rookie astronaut Dr. Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) and veteran mission commander Matt Kowalski (George Clooney) as they repair the Hubble telescope 370 miles above Earth. The look is amazing yet familiar, like a NASA documentary. The talk is easygoing. Kowalski keeps up a lighthearted line of quips and conversation to help soothe Stone's nerves.
An urgent advisory from Houston commands them to abort: An exploded Russian satellite is sending a barrage of shrapnel their way. The lethal bombardment hits ferociously, ripping the space station to smithereens and sending Stone spinning into the void. As her figure recedes, the image sums up the disorienting beauty of space and its cold, terrifying indifference to human life. Emmanuel Lubezki's crystalline camerawork suggests a hyper-real nightmare.
Unfolding in real time, "Gravity" follows the pair as they search for a ride home. Bullock's character must also search for a reason to live. In the film's few cheesy decisions, she is scarred by an old personal catastrophe that undermines her survival instinct. Wouldn't the psychological fitness tests astronauts undergo have picked up on that? And isn't it a thudding cliche that everything goes to hell on commander Kowalski's final mission?
That's the beginning and end of my nitpicking. Bullock's great strength as an actress is her underdog vulnerability, and she is ideal in the role of a woman numbed by grief, drawing on resources she didn't know she had. Clooney, remaining chipper under dire pressure, contributes a performance of warmhearted chivalry. His generosity as a performer mirrors Kowalski's selfless concern for Stone.
Cuaron uses hard science and film technique to create haunting audiovisual details. His use of sound, and withholding of it in silent, airless space, churns feelings of primal dread. The glancingly observed flotsam drifting through the space stations — a cuff link, a dental retainer — are eerie reminders of human vanity. When Stone, temporarily air-supplied, strips off her bulky suit and rests, her body curls into the fetal position, complete with umbilical-like cables nearby, like the Starchild in "2001."
The harrowing, triumphant final sequence is a breakneck race through states of being that reflect the evolution of life on Earth. It delivers us into a wide-eyed state of untold possibilities, reminding us that no matter how far we've explored the heavens, the human journey has just begun. (PG-13, 90 minutes)

Runner Runner
A story like that at the heart of ''Runner Runner,'' about a young American gambler who gets sucked way above his head into the criminal doings of a big-time offshore operator, would have found its ideal life as a tough, punchy, black-and-white programmer back in the 1950s. Today, it would have been most viable as a grandiose character study done on an operatic scale by a filmmaker like Martin Scorsese or Michael Mann. What's actually up onscreen in this vaguely ambitious but tawdry melodrama falls into an in-between no man's land that endows it with no distinction whatsoever, a work lacking both style and insight into the netherworld it seeks to reveal. Despite an intriguing setup and Ben Affleck and Justin Timberlake heading the cast, this Fox release holds a losing box-office hand.
Threatened with expulsion from Princeton unless he shuts down his online gambling site, finance grad student Richie Furst (Timberlake), with nothing now to lose, heads for Costa Rica determined to stick it to the undisputed king of computer gambling, Ivan Black (Affleck).
Arriving during the boss's annual blowout, the Midnight Black Expo, Richie cleverly scores an audience with the bodyguard-festooned Ivan. Lounging on his hero's yacht, Richie brazenly accuses his relaxed host of cheating him on his site . . . and Ivan readily admits it. In the film's best-written scene, the older man affably agrees to reimburse the kid for his losses and then some. But, then again, Ivan can always use a smart, ballsy guy in his operation, so maybe Richie would like to come work for him. Seven, maybe even eight figures a year beckon.
Richie quickly learns the ropes and gets mixed signals from Ivan's glamorous factotum Rebecca (Gemma Arterton), who may or may not be on exclusive reserve for the boss. All goes swimmingly until, a third of the way in, Richie is kidnapped by none other than the FBI, whose local agent Shavers (Anthony Mackie) tries to coerce the kid into informing on Ivan's business.
When Richie tells his boss what happened, Ivan waves it off, claiming it happens to everyone who works for him. But Ivan has a little unpleasantness of his own in store for his eager acolyte, as he forces him to blackmail a top client into a continued business relationship, then starts using him as a bagman to pay off local authorities.

On Friday, Underwood said, "I have no apologies for saying that I am a friend of the coal miners of West Virginia."
Roberts said he anticipated snide remarks about his appearing with Underwood and with coal lobbyists. But, he said, "That's what the Bible tells us to do."
At the Capitol rally, Logan County coal operator Rick Abraham gave a lengthy speech attacking The Charleston Gazette's coverage of mountaintop removal. Abraham named a reporter and editor, and said they have become "pimps for the environmental extremists."
"To those of you who are working on a surface mine, you are not breaking the law just because The Charleston Gazette says you are," Abraham said.
Abraham also called the fight to curb mountaintop removal mining "economic genocide."
Bill Raney, president of the West Virginia Coal Association, said any legal problem with mountaintop removal "is all paperwork, and paperwork shouldn't be taking your jobs and your livelihoods."
Roberts said he would not back down from criticism of the environmental community, including calling them "extremists."
Roberts said his involvement with environmental issues for the UMW goes back more than 15 years, to the union's fight against new Clean Air Act rules to limit acid rain.
Then, Roberts said, national environmental groups refused a UMW-brokered compromise that would have lessened the legislation's impacts on the coal industry and miners.
More recently, Roberts said, environmental groups will not work with the UMW on a compromise on the Kyoto Protocol on global climate change.
And now in West Virginia, he said, the union believes environmentalists are using their federal court lawsuit to try to shut down all mountaintop removal mining.
"Where are we today?" Roberts said. "Kicked in the teeth again by the environmental community. We're fed up, and we're fired up."
Roberts said, though, that his emotional speech was not intended to drive miners out of control. He said if anyone "got out of hand," that would be an excuse for the UMW's critics to "put all over the front page of the paper: 'Radicals riot.'"
During a short speech at the federal building, Terry Vance, an officer of UMW local 2935 in Sharples - where 400 miners are facing layoffs because of Haden's ruling - responded to a church organization's call for peaceful debate of mountaintop removal issues.
"None of us are going to hurt anybody," Vance said. "We don't want violence. We are peaceful people.
"This is a war, but it's a war of words," he said. "And I don't intend to lose."

Lemon Light
Energy doesn't come just from burning gasoline, coal, or oil. It can also come from food, or more specifically the chemicals in food. In this activity, you will create a chemical reaction with the acid of a lemon and metal to create energy - enough to power a small light.
You Will Need:
What to Do:
What's the Science?
The lemon battery is made up of two different metals, copper and zinc. Electric current enters and leaves the battery through these points. These "electrodes" are placed in an "electrolyte," the acid from the lemon, which is a solution that can conduct electricity.
A chemical reaction takes place between the acid and metal which causes electrons, which is what energy is made of, to gather toward the negative end of the electrodes and electrons to be lost on the positive side of the electrodes. A current flows from the negative to positive ends in order to push out the excess electrons and for those electrons to take the place of the electrons that were lost on the positive end.
This is enough energy to make the LED light to light up. Using other metals and acidic fruits can have differences in how well they create energy. Consider trying other methods out!

The finance industry constitutes the largest group of companies in the world. Banking is the largest financial services sector (24% of total assets in 2005), followed by securities (21%), insurance (18%), pensions (17%) and government related services (13%)168. The role of the sector in biodiversity loss and, indeed, in its conservation is increasingly being recognised. By providing financing to projects and companies, the sector has an indirect reliance and impact on biodiversity and ecosystem services.
This project is based on the "Yamato River time deposit", a product marketed by Yamato Shinkin Bank and designed to improve the water quality of the Yamato River, which flows through the basin of Nara. Additional interest is paid to deposits when prescribed improvements are seen in water quality, specifically the BOD (biological oxygen demand) levels.
New market mechanisms targeting biodiversity conservation are emerging worldwide, and among others, the biodiversity offset market size is expected to increase in the coming years. The French company CDC Biodiversité has seized this opportunity and is testing the first habitat banking project in Europe.
Aware of the role finance has to play in the field of biodiversity projects funding, Sompo Japan has developed a loan mechanism that fosters investments in ecological housing and finances a charity fund dedicated to Japanese specific landscape protection.
This project is designed to restore a natural reserve that has been ravaged by illegal logging and, over the long term to contribute to the local economy through the planting of trees. This has resulted in the planting of some 300,000 trees across nearly 350 hectares of highland area.
Climatescope 2012 is a report and index that assesses the investment climate for climate-related investment in Latin America and the Caribbean. It profiles 26 countries in the region and evaluates their ability to attract capital for low-carbon energy sources while building a greener economy.
To assign each country an overall score, Climatescope examines four overarching and interrelated parameters. These parameters are supported by a series of 30 indicators based on data captured by Bloomberg New Energy Finance through first-hand research, consultation of publicly available sources, and discussions with experts. Together, these indicators and their corresponding parameters form a holistic picture of a particular country's climate for climate-related investment.

Recipe by Barrie Malson
"Solid ribsticking stuff, ideal for before, after, or during the game. Season flour with salt and pepper. If preferred, use 2 sheep kidneys instead of the ox kidney."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 pound beef tenderloin
1 pound beef kidney
1 cup all-purpose flour for rolling
4 cups water to cover
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 to taste salt and pepper to taste
1 (17.5 ounce) package frozen puff pastry, thawed
I love steak and kidney pie, even more so with puff pastry which is delicious moistened by the gravy. But I think the author made an error or two. There is no need to use beef tenderloin in a stew preparation - you'll get a much better flavor from chuck or even leg of beef, and even those cuts would not need to cook for three hours - maybe an hour and a half at most. And at the top of the recipe the cooking time is given as 1 hr 30 mins, not the 3 hrs 20 mins the instructions say. In addition, I usually soak the kidney in milk for several hours before cooking (this gets out some of the urine taste and smell, but doesn't destroy the unique flavor). It's a good idea to use a pie bird or funnel to hold the pastry off the gravy so it will be nice and crisp when baked - the inside will still be moist. I'm rating the pie five stars because if you carry out these suggestions it will be very good indeed, and I don't want to put anyone off making a splendid steak and kidney pie!
I soaked the kidney in milk overnight,cut into pieces. I did lightly flour then sauteed the kidney and steak in olive oil. Caramelized some onions and then made a gravy. I did not have puff pastry so left it out. Served this over rice. It was delicious.

Amazing return
To achieve a consistent 10% return above the S&P 500 over many years is every fund manager's dream. To double one's investment above the S&P500 return is amazing, while tripling it is unheard of. I beat the S&P500 by 1,200% in my recent portfolio and I can detail the history of all my transactions and my broker's statements are available to SA editors.
Many analysts show their average yearly returns and/or their returns of their top 10 stocks this time of the year. The market is closed early today on Christmas Eve, so I have the time to check out my recent performance. As a trader with many trades, it would be far too complicated for me to do the same for the entire year. I selected all the stocks I purchased in the last 90 days. Most of them are deeply-valued stocks. Let's check how I perform so far on these stocks.
Stocks bought and their returns as of 12/25/12
Stocks | Date Bought | Return | SPY Return |
Banner (BANR) | 12/07/12 | 3% | -.01% |
Key Tronic (KTCC) | 12/06/12 | 0% | .7% |
Questcor Pharmaceuticals (QCOR) | 12/07/12 | 15% | -.1% |
Key Tronic | 12/06/12 | -1% | .7% |
The Active Network (ACTV) | 12/05/12 | -5% | .7% |
Nacco Industries (NC) | 12/03/12 | 15% | -.3% |
Velti Plc (VELT) | 12/03/12 | 64% | -.3% |
Alpha Natural Resources (ANR) | 11/28/12 | 33% | 4.8% |
Apple (AAPL) | 11/16/12 | 1% | 4.8% |
Citigroup (C) | 11/14/12 | 13% | 3.0% |
Deckers Outdoor (DECK) | 11/13/12 | 16% | 2.7% |
Microsoft (MSFT) | 11/13/12 | 0% | 2.7% |
Alcatel-Lucent, S.A. (ALU) | 11/13/12 | 38% | 2.7% |
Dollar Tree (DLTR) | 11/09/12 | 7% | 3.4% |
Caterpillar (CAT) | 11/08/12 | 4% | 1.9% |
Microsoft | 11/07/12 | -8% | .5% |

Beat SPY (in %) = (11%-.82%)/.82% = 1,248% or 12 times
How the returns are calculated
Using BARN to illustrate how the return and SPY return are calculated:
BARN was bought on 12/07/12 (17 days from 12/24/12) at 27.93 and it was at 30.43 on 12/24/12.
Rate of Return = (30.43 - 27.93) / 27.93 = 3%
SPY was at 142.53 on 12/07/12 and at 142.35 on 12/24/12.
Rate of Return = (142.35-142.53) / 142.53 = -.13%
Interpreting the performance result
The quantity of each stock bought is not important as I am comparing the return of the stock. However, a few stocks have been listed twice as I bought two times usually on separate dates. If I chose them as one purchase instead of two, my return would appear even better. The purchases are real, so the amount of each stock is not identical to each other.
I'm not too excited yet. This phenomenal return could be just this one time only. 90 days is a short period. Consistency could be achieved with an improved stock picking technique, plain luck or a combination. I do believe I will never achieve the return of 12 times better than the S&P 500 consistently. By any measure, it is an extremely decent return.
My best return is from 2009 in my largest taxable account. It is over 80% beating SPY by about 3 times. 2003 is another good year for profit. These two years are defined by me as the Early Recovery stage in a market cycle and the market in this phase provides the best profit opportunity.
The four losers are MSFT (-8%), ACTV (-5%), KTCC (-1%) and IAG (-1%). The best winners are: VELT (64%), ALU (38%), ANR (33%) and QCOR (19%). The following are in 14% to 16% range: DECK, NC and BSX (2 purchases.
Cheating the results
I could 'cheat' for better results by doing the following (but I did not):
- Exclude stocks only purchased in the last 20 days (instead of 15).
- If my purchases of CSCO were included, the result would be even better. CSCO has been bought three times on 7/24/12 and it has gained 31% as of 12/25/12. I still have Cisco, but it is not included due to my 90 day requirement.
- I could include those stocks in my buy orders that had not been executed due to their fast appreciation.
Hence, there are many ways to cheat, and you should read others' results carefully.
What stocks were included
There are 20 purchases. I bought some stocks twice and counted as two purchases. None of the stocks have been sold as of 12/25/12.
I have excluded the stocks that I bought in the last 15 days (too early for meaningful performance results) and the stocks that I am testing a strategy by trading them every month and most are in a separate account that I do not have to pay commissions.
This strategy so far looks promising with good gains and requiring almost no effort on my part. I will write another article, if it proves itself to be consistently profitable. It is based on common stocks of two subscription services both seeking momentum stocks.
How the stocks were picked
The majority of the stocks were screened by my selected screens that have proven profitable in the last 3 to 6 months. Most investors and fund managers have their own favorable screens to pick stocks using specific tools. Most do not display the details.
My advice is: Test our screens to see whether they still work. I also analyzed most of the screened stocks and assigned a score (15 and higher is a buy) based on the metrics that had reliable predication recently. I do not stick with the scoring system 100%, but most stocks I purchased twice do have high scores.
My screens and the scoring system are beyond the scope of this article. I may write articles to describe some basic concepts if there is enough interest from the readers.
The poor performers were scored as: MSFT: 13, ACTV: 16, KTCC: 27 and IAG: 23. The scoring system is OK. MSFT should not be bought, solely judging from its low score. The other three are the latest purchases in this portfolio and they may perform better in a longer period.
The winners were scored as: VELT: 34, ALU: not scored, ANR: not scored and QCOR: 30. The scoring system is great for this group. ALU and ANR were selected from two Seeking Alpha articles and their selections were not based on scores. I read several Wall Street Journal articles on ALU and CSCO to convince me to buy both.
The average winners were scored as: DECK: 9, NC: 26 and BSX: not scored. DECK was selected based on an article from Seeking Alpha, and it seemed DECK was experiencing the same short squeeze as CROX once did. BSX was selected from a Sunday paper article.
1. I notice that most big winners have a stock price less than $10.
2. I did not double-bet on VELT and ALU, which both turn out to be my best performers. VELT scored high in my analysis. ALU was very convincing but it seemed to be risky. 'Nothing risked, nothing gained' applies here. I did triple bet on CSCO, which is a large company with good fundamentals that were not 'discovered' by the market.
Both AAPL and DECK gained more than 25% and then lost most of their gains during my short holding period. I should have sold AAPL, as many of my fellow investors sold the winners, expecting higher capital gain taxes next year.
3. During this period, I had several buy orders not executed due to their stock prices skyrocketing. Market orders could be the solution. It is another example of "penny smart and pound foolish"?
4. It will be interesting to check the results again in 6 and 12 months. Except ALU, all are in my taxable accounts and I usually keep them for a year to qualify for the lower tax rates for capital gains. I expect they will not beat S&P 500 by this margin again in 12 months.
5. Reading stock articles on sites such as Seeking Alpha is beneficial. However, you need to do your own analysis.
6. The market has been up by 0.8% in last 90 days and this portfolio increased by 12%. If my portfolio amplifies the market, I wonder whether it will be down by the same rate in a down market.
7. I have never achieved such an amazing return. I'm emotionally detached to big wins and big losses. It could be plain luck. Even the best strategy will have its "black swan" moment eventually.
My three steps of making stock purchase are: 1. Market timing, 2. Screening stocks and 3. Stock Analysis. Market timing and strategy do not always work, but they will be better with using them than without.
I am the living proof against the Efficiency Theory and the claims that stock picking does not work. It may not work from time to time, but in the long run it works.
In this period, I have been accumulating cash expecting a big dip in the first quarter of 2013. As of 12/12, this prediction has not happened (at least not so far), as market timing does not always work.

I would like to personally thank Mayor Brown for his work on this project. I look forward to his continued governeance of our city. I hope to vote for him again in the next election.

I am happy that Menlo Park has reached an agreement on the Derry Lane Project. I look forward to more housing closer to transit as this fronts a major bus transit corridor, El Camino Real, and is adjacent to Menlo Park Caltrain.

Why the big reduction in below market rate units? If the total units has gone from 134 to 108, why have BMRs gone down from 22 to 16?
on Jun 9, 2007 at 11:28 am
looks as if the BMR totals are approximately 15% of the total units in both cases
on Oct 22, 2007 at 11:40 pm
I'm happy to hear that the Derry Lane Project is now a real possibility. I have been on the BMR list for over 9 years and finally hope to have an opportunity to buy an affordable condo. I am disabled and am hoping there will be an accessible condo available.
on Oct 23, 2007 at 8:20 am
Jill, please explain why I, as a resident and taxpayer, should be subsidizing your housing. I keep hearing that the BMR units exist so that our public service workers can live in Menlo Park, but as far as I can tell, they don't want to live to live in one of those little units on the tracks. I live in a home that I can afford, and I don't expect the people of Hillsborough or Atherton to make it possible for me to live in their towns. You already live in Menlo Park; why do you think we should be paying for you to have a condo here?

The Suzuki GS series is a line of motorcycles featuring air-cooled parallel-twin and Inline four engines with two or four valves per cylinder. The GS-range of models are considered to be examples of Universal Japanese motorcycles. The range of motorcycles in the series had engine displacements between 125 cc and 1100 cc, and include the GS400 and GS500. The GS series also include the original Katana series, although the 1100 had 16 valves, thus being a GSX. It was however still designated as a GS on some markets.
Whether you have a smaller GS400 all the way up to the 1000, you have a perfect candidate to strip away the exterior and build a Cafe Racer out of it!

[JURIST] The US Department of Defense [official website] announced Friday that it has brought charges [charge sheet; DOD press release] against a tenth Guantanamo Bay detainee. Abdul Zahir has been formally charged with conspiracy, aiding the enemy and attacking civilians, and is accused of working as a translator and money-man for former Taliban rulers in Afghanistan and with al Qaeda. The accusations also implicate Zahir in a 2002 grenade attack that injured three journalists. The DOD charged five other detainees [JURIST report] in November and the first four in 2004, but none of their trials under a tribunal of US military officers has been completed. The US Supreme Court is expected to hear a challenge [JURIST report] from Salim Ahmed Hamdan against President Bushs power to create such military tribunals [JURIST news archive] to put Guantanamo prisoners on trial for war crimes. Pentagon officials said that only 50 to 75 of the approximately 500 Guantanamo detainees are likely to be charged because the DOD will only charge detainees whose actions rose to the level of war crimes. Aside from the ten detainees already charged, President Bush has declared four other detainees eligible for trial under the military tribunal. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] A Chilean appeals court Friday stripped former dictator Augusto Pinochet [BBC profile; JURIST news archive] of immunity so he can face charges involving the torture of thousands of people at Villa Grimaldi [Wikipedia backgrounder], an infamous political detention center that was run by Pinochets secret police between 1974 and 1977. President-elect Michelle Bachelet [BBC profile; JURIST report] and her mother were detained at Villa Grimaldi in 1975 before going into exile, but the investigation into the torture of political prisoners does not involve her detention. The appeals court voted 13-5 in favor of stripping Pinnochets immunity, but the judgment will likely have to be upheld by Chile's Supreme Court before the first torture charges against Pinochet can be filed. Pinochet is already under indictment for tax fraud [JURIST report] and kidnapping [JURIST report], the latter in reference to people who disappeared in police custody and are presumed dead. Many military officers and former agents of Pinochets secret police have been convicted of human rights crimes, but Pinochet has not yet been charged with any human rights crimes because the Supreme Court has only recently ruled that he is fit to stand trial [JURIST report]. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw [official website] denied Friday that he withheld any information from Parliament concerning Britain's involvement in secret CIA rendition flights [JURIST news archive] and also said that there had not been any flights through Britain since the September 11 attacks. Straw's statement to legislators came in response to a leaked memo [PDF text; JURIST report] Thursday suggesting that there had been more requests for rendition flights from the US than the four 1998 requests that British legislators were already aware of. The memo, dated in December 2005 and reported in Thursday's edition of the New Statesman magazine, was originally passed from Straw's Foreign and Commonwealth Office [official website] to the Prime Minister's office [official website] and examined the legality of rendition and extraordinary rendition flights, as well as strategies to address allegations from human rights groups that the CIA operated secret rendition flights across Europe. AP has more. BBC News has local coverage.
[JURIST] A California [JURIST news archive] proposal for a two-year death penalty [JURIST news archive] moratorium hit a permanent stumbling block in the California Assembly's Appropriations Committee Thursday. The moratorium proposal [PDF text] intended to suspend executions in California until a commission completed a review of California's death penalty, including an analysis of any condemned inmates who were wrongly convicted. Democratic Assemblyman Paul Koretz, the bill's sponsor, said he hopes to revive the effort in another proposal later this year. A number of DNA tests have exonerated death row inmates in recent years, prompting Illinois, and more recently New Jersey [JURIST report], to suspend executions. New Jersey became the first state to impose a moratorium via legislation last week, placing a moratorium on executions that will last until 60 days after a special commission releases its findings. California has approximately 650 inmates on death row, the largest of any state, and has exonerated six people with DNA tests. The state recently executed two inmates: Clarence Ray Allen [JURIST report], the oldest person on death row, and Stanley Tookie Williams [JURIST report], the infamous Crips gang co-founder. AP has more. The LA Times has local coverage.
[JURIST] Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge M. Brooke Murdock [official profile] on Friday ruled [opinion, PDF] against a 1973 state law that prohibits same-sex marriage [JURIST news archive], declaring that the statute subjects the plaintiff couples to a discriminatory classification based solely on their sexual orientation. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) [official website] filed the case [JURIST report] last July on behalf of 19 gay men and women challenging the constitutionality of the law. Judge Murdock granted summary judgment to the plaintiffs in the case [ACLU materials], but stayed the decision pending any appeal because of its potential effects. The Maryland Attorney General [official website] has announced plans to appeal the decision and the state General Assembly [official website] recently began its 90-day session, and will likely take up the issue. The Washington Post has more.
[JURIST] US District Court Judge T.S. Ellis III of the Eastern District of Virginia [official website] on Friday sentenced former Pentagon analyst Lawrence A. Franklin [Wikipedia profile] to 12 years and 7 months in federal prison for leaking classified information in 2003 about potential attacks on US forces in Iraq. Franklin, who pleaded guilty [JURIST report] in October, passed the information to an Israeli embassy official, Naor Gilon, and two former members of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) [advocacy website] who allegedly disclosed the information to the press and foreign officials. He will not begin serving his sentence until after the trials of Steven Rosen and Keith Weissman [indictment, PDF; JURIST report], whose lawyers claim the lobbyists' discussions with Franklin are protected by the First Amendment. Ellis handed down a sentence, which could be decreased if Franklin cooperates in the Rosen and Weissman trials, that sits at the low end of federal sentencing guidelines because he believed Franklin's claim that he leaked the information to protect the US against threats from an unspecified nation in the Middle East. AP has more.
[JURIST] In a last-minute push to regain popular support in the final stages of the Canadian federal election campaign, Prime Minister Paul Martin has accused Conservative Party [party website] leader Stephen Harper [official profile] of planning to pack the Supreme Court of Canada [official website] with judges who would advance a socially-conservative agenda, override the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms [text], outlaw same-sex marriage again and push Canada towards the views of the "extreme right" in the United States. Speaking in Toronto Thursday, Martin asked
Is Mr. Harper saying that he will be appointing judges to the Supreme Court based really on their political views? Are we going to find ourselves in the same situation that they are in the United States, where in fact it is not only the competence of a judge that governs, but in fact it is a judge's social views?Are we going to see a situation where what we're going to do is try to pack the court in order to overturn Charter rights?"
He talked about the courts standing between him and absolute power. Who talks that way? Who thinks that way? He spoke of the courts as his political opponents. He described them as an obstacle. A barrier between him and his agenda.
[JURIST] US Attorney General Alberto Gonzales [official profile] on Friday unsealed the indictment [press release; speech text] of eleven people alleged to have carried out a series of arsons causing millions of dollars in damage in five Western states between 1996 and 2001 for the extremist ecology groups Earth Liberation Front (ELF) and Animal Liberation Front (ALF). The indictment [PDF text], returned by a federal grand jury on Thursday, included 65 counts of domestic terrorism on 17 sites in California, Colorado, Oregon, Washington and Wyoming, including US Forest Service ranger stations, Bureau of Land Management wild horse facilities, meat processing companies, lumber companies, a high-tension power line, and a ski facility in Colorado. Eight of the indicted defendants were arrested [JURIST report] last month, while three defendants believed to be outside the US remain at large. The cases will be prosecuted by the US Attorney's Office for the District of Oregon [official website]. AP has more.
[JURIST] A Turkish appeals court on Friday ordered Mehmet Ali Agca [Wikipedia profile], the man who shot Pope John Paul II [official website] in 1981, to return to prison and Agca was subsequently taken into custody in Istanbul. Agca was serving a 36-year sentence for murdering Turkish journalist Abdi Ipekci [profile] when he escaped from prison and shot the Pope in 1981. He then served 19 years of a life sentence in Italy for shooting the pontiff before being pardoned at the Pope's behest [CNN report] in 2000 and was extradited back to Turkey to complete his sentence. Agca was released on parole [JURIST report] earlier this month for good behavior, but Turkish Justice Minister Cemil Cicek asked the court [JURIST report] to return Agca to prison, arguing that time served in Italy should not be deducted from his sentence. The Turkish Supreme Court of Appeals of Criminal Department overturned the decision to release the would-be assassin, stating there was "no legal basis" to deduct Agca's time served in Italy. It is unknown how long Agca will remain in jail in Turkey, as he may face charges for robbing a factory and commandeering a vehicle in 1979 in addition to his remaining murder sentence. AP has more.Previously in JURIST's Paper Chase...
[JURIST] Japanese Prime Minister and Liberal Democratic Party leader Junichiro Koizumi [official profile] pledged to introduce a bill to reform the 1947 Imperial Household Law [text], allowing women to ascend to the country's imperial throne [JURIST report] during his annual keynote speech to parliament Friday. Under current law, a male must ascend to the throne, but no male has been born to the family since Prince Akishino [official profile] in 1965. The proposed change would place four-year-old Princess Aiko in the order of succession behind her father, Crown Prince Naruhito [official profile]. In addition, Koizumi restated his intent to step down in September when his current term ends, questioned a national referendum on revisions to the country's pacifist constitution [JURIST report], and promised to further improve relations with China and South Korea. BBC News has more.
[JURIST] Former Serb commander Dragan Vasiljkovic was arrested [press release] in Australia [JURIST news archive] Thursday at the request of the Croatian government, who want to prosecute Vasiljkovic for war crimes committed during Croatia's 1991-1995 independence war. Vasiljkovic, now a citizen of Australia, is accused of torturing and killing Croat soldiers, civilians and prisoners of war and of involvement in the forced expulsion of entire villages in Serb-held territories in southern Croatia while he commanded a Serb paramilitary unit. Croatia [JURIST news archive] now has 60 days to make a request for Vasiljkovic's extradition [JURIST report], and Croatian Justice Minister Vesna Skare Ozbolt has said she plans to formally request his extradition next week. Former International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia deputy prosecutor Graham Blewitt said in December that Australia has become a safe haven for war criminals [JURIST report] avoiding prosecution because more than 30 suspected war criminals have been granted temporary residency there. Reuters has more. The Australian has local coverage.
[JURIST] Lawyers across the country filed motions Thursday asking immigration judges to reconsider sending illegal immigrants back to Haiti. The motions are in response to the decision of the Department of Homeland Security [official website] to continue deporting Haitian immigrants, despite the presence of widespread violence and human rights violations in the country. The United Nations [official website] and the State Department [official website] have both reported numerous rights violations [JURIST report] and kidnappings in Haiti since former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide [BBC profile] was ousted from power [JURIST report] in 2004. Lawyers say the immigrants should be granted temporary protected status, which protects immigrants whose return to their native countries presents an extreme threat, allowing them to remain in the United States until conditions improve. The New York Times has more.
[JURIST] A group of retired military leaders have sent a letter [PDF text; press release] to President Bush seeking clarification on the president's plans to enforce a recently passed ban on the use of torture against terror detainees. Last month, when signing the 2006 defense spending bill [text; JURIST report], which contains the Detainee Treatment Act of 2005 [JURIST document], President Bush issued a statement [JURIST document] asserting a right to bypass the torture ban [JURIST report] under his commander-in-chief powers. In the letter, 22 retired generals and admirals called for Bush to clarify his statement, saying:
It is incumbent on you as President and Commander-in-Chief to ensure that all senior members of your administration speak with a consistent voice to make clear that the United States now has a single standard of conduct specified in law that governs all interrogations, regardless of the legal status or the location of the detainee being interrogated. Accountability and deterrence have never been more important to end all torture and abuse in America's name, and thereby restore America's reputation in the world. This long overdue corrective action will require strong leadership from you and others in positions of authority.
[JURIST] The father of John Walker Lindh [CNN profile; JURIST news archive], the American caught fighting for the Taliban in Afghanistan in 2001, called on President Bush Thursday to grant his son clemency and commute his 20 year sentence in a speech to San Francisco's Commonwealth Club. Lindh, who was 20-years-old when captured in Afghanistan, pleaded guilty in 2002 to supplying services to the Taliban under a plea agreement [PDF text] with prosecutors. Lindh asked for a commuted sentence [JURIST report] in 2004, but then-Attorney General John Ashcroft denied the request [JURIST news archive]. Last month, lawyers for Lindh made a second request [JURIST report] for a commuted prison sentence. AP has more.
[JURIST] US Vice President Dick Cheney [official website] on Thursday defended the Bush administration's authorization of domestic surveillance [JURIST news archive] in the weeks following Sept. 11, saying the program is a crucial tool in monitoring terrorist organizations. In a speech [transcript] at the Manhattan Institute, Cheney objected to the characterization of the program as "domestic", stressing that the National Security Agency [official website] only intercepts "international communications, one end of which we have reason to believe is related to al Qaeda or to terrorist networks affiliated with al Qaeda." Cheney called the program "fully consistent with the constitutional responsibilities and legal authority of the President" and further defended its legality and importance:
These actions are within the President's authority and responsibility under the Constitution and laws; and these actions are vital to our security. This is a wartime measure, limited in scope to surveillance associated with terrorists, and conducted in a way that safeguards the civil liberties of our people. It is important to note that leaders of Congress have been briefed more than a dozen times on the President's authorization, and on the activities conducted under it. I've personally presided over most of those briefings. In addition, the entire program undergoes a thorough review within the executive branch every 45 days. After each review, the President determines once again whether or not to reauthorize the program. He has done so more than 30 times since September 11th -- and he has indicated his intent to do so as long as our nation faces a continuing threat from al Qaeda and related organizations.
[JURIST] The Shiite United Iraqi Alliance [BBC profile] won 128 of 275 seats in the Iraqi parliament, the Independent Electoral Commission of Iraq (IECI) [official website] said Friday when it released final results [PDF text] from the December 15 parliamentary elections [JURIST news archive]. Results had been delayed pending the outcome of an investigation into alleged voting fraud [JURIST report], which culminated with the release of a report [text] Thursday by the International Mission for Iraqi Elections (IMIE). The IMIE found isolated instances of fraud [JURIST report] but certified voting procedures as consistent with international standards and endorsed the election results. Under the final results, which do not include tallies from 227 ballot boxes [JURIST report] set aside by the IECI after their own fraud investigation, the Shiite alliance did not capture an outright majority and will have to rule with coalition partners. Sunni parties won 55 seats, giving them a larger role in the legislature than they had following the January 2005 election. Two major Kurdish parties won 53 seats, a decrease from their representation in the outgoing parliament. AP has more.
[JURIST] The US Department of Justice (DOJ) [official website] has filed a motion [PDF text] in federal court seeking to compel Internet search giant Google [corporate website] to comply with a subpoena issued last summer. The subpoena requests that Google provide a "multi-stage random sample of one million URLs" and the text of search strings entered into Google databases over a one week period. Google has refused to comply, citing its privacy policy [text]. The DOJ wants the data in order to prepare a defense of the constitutionality of the Child Online Protection Act [text], which has been blocked from enforcement since 1998 as too broad. In its 2004 decision in Ashcroft v. ACLU [text; JURIST report], the US Supreme Court ruled that the law, which seeks to limit children's access to "material deemed harmful to minors", is likely an unconstitutional violation of free speech and remanded the case for findings on what technology would allow adults to see and buy the material while keeping it out of the hands of children. The DOJ has requested similar information from other search engines, and those engines, including Yahoo!, have complied with the subpoenas. AP has more.

$40 for pair of sleevs? How can I know what my size is?
Wally Phillips
Member since
Hey Liron,
Thanks for the question. The price of the compression sleeves comes from how much R&D CW-X puts in to their compression technology. The sizing goes by calf circumference:
XS - less than 12"
S - 12" to 13.5"
M - 13.5" to 15"
L - 15" to 16.5"
XL - 16.5"and up
great compression

These run a little large, or maybe I was just looking for a tighter compression, but the first pair I bought were big. These kept my legs fresh for a longer run next day, after a short 3 mile hill workout. solid compression

Urban Luminosity exemplifies architectonic alchemy. Reflections on metallic walls, the flattened perspective of a hotel's rotunda, undulating waves of a Frank Gehry building and dramatic façade lighting, encourage us to examine our relationship with our man-made environs. The union between common elements of 'the city' with sensuous surfaces, lights, and colors, combine to form a 'skin' in which we find ourselves encapsulated. This commonality is illustrated in modern and contemporary architecture found in cities as diverse as: Shanghai, Osaka, Tokyo, Las Vegas, Seattle, St. Louis, and New York.
"Almost all of the Urban Luminosity photographs are made after dark and therefore require very long exposures (up to ten minutes), says Eastman. "Therefore, it is difficult, if not impossible, to pre-visualize the image. When the processed negatives are scanned and the image appears on the computer screen, the results are revealed for the first time. It is a very compelling moment, as the previously unseen subtle traces of light and faint reflections emerge as stunningly bold fields of color and unexpected compositions."
In Eastman's book, Havana, published in 2011 by Prestel, critic Vicky Goldberg writes, "Color as forthright, as riotous, as eloquent as Eastman's, is a balm for the eyes, the mind, and possibly the heart, and much of the architecture in his pictures is both a sidewalk gaiety and a triumph." Michael Eastman has established himself as one of the leading contemporary photographic artists. A purist to his large format camera, negative film and natural light, Eastman fills his painterly images with jewel-like tones and dramatic highlights. Long exposures and a wide-angle lens create far-reaching visual clarity, rich colors and lavish detail.
Michael Eastman was born in St. Louis, Missouri in 1947. The range of his oeuvre is diverse, including such themes as horses, sublime landscapes and urban and European architecture. His publications include his most recent Havana, Vanishing America (Rizzoli, 2008), and Horses (Knopf, 2003), and his photographs are featured in Rainer Maria Rilke's book Auguste Rodin, published by Archipelago Press. Eastman has been a recipient of the National Endowment for the Arts grant, and has been published in Time, Life, and The New York Times. His photographs are included in numerous public and private collections including The Metropolitan Museum of Art; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; The Art Institute of Chicago; Los Angeles County Museum; and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, among others.

Seoul shares seen rebounding on bargain hunting, buoyed by Fed
- Tweet
- Share this
SEOUL, March 21 (Reuters) - Seoul shares are likely to regain ground on Thursday on bargain-hunting following recent losses, tracking a rise in global markets after the Federal Reserve signalled its commitment to an easy monetary policy. "A rebound is likely after U.S. markets rose overnight. Also, yesterday's losses mean that a wide array of desirable stocks are undervalued right now," said Oh Seung-hoon, an analyst at Daishin Securities. The U.S. central bank held to its policy of large-scale bond purchases to boost economic growth despite data indicating improved conditions, though it suggested that the size and pace of the purchases may change based on their expected efficacy and cost. The Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) fell 1 percent to close at a one-month low of 1,959.41 points on Wednesday amid a fifth day of selling by foreign investors. ------------------MARKET SNAPSHOT @ 22:28 GMT------------------- INSTRUMENT LAST PCT CHG NET CHG S&P 500 1,558.71 0.67% 10.370 USD/JPY 96.04 0.03% 0.030 10-YR US TSY YLD 1.958 -- 0.000 SPOT GOLD $1,605.96 0.00% 0.070 US CRUDE $93.38 -0.13% -0.120 DOW JONES 14511.73 0.39% 55.91 ASIA ADRS 136.65 1.00% 1.35 ---------------------------------------------------------------- >Wall St ends higher as Fed keeps stimulus in place >Treasuries dip after rally on Cyprus worries >Dollar rises vs yen after Fed; euro comes off lows >Brent oil rise from 3mth low as Cyprus concern ease ---STOCKS TO WATCH--- **SAMSUNG C&T CORP ** Samsung C&T has been picked as the preferred bidder for a multibillion dollar development deal for Australia's Roy Hill iron ore project, two sources with knowledge of the matter told Reuters. **SAMSUNG HEAVY INDUSTRIES CO ** Samsung Heavy said late on Wednesday that it won an order for four LNG ships from BGT, an affiliate of the Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas Company (NLNG).

It lit up the early morning sky Saturday at 12:13 a.m. "I've never seen anything like this before," said truck wash manager, Jamie Cox.
Investigators say gas fueled the blast, which destroyed eight near-by buildings and at least one home in a 600 yard radius of the explosion.
"When it turned light the devastation was unreal. It looked like you dropped an atomic bomb," said business owner Brett Woods.
Jamie Cox says the blast's shock wave rattled him awake in his Vernal home 15 miles away.
He quickly traveled Jensen. "I saw the devastation and it was heartbreaking. There was one home that was pushed about four inches off the foundation," Cox said.
No one was hurt or killed. The timing of the blast saved lives. A cafe across the street from the explosion is often filled with hungry customers.
Business owners are marveling the sheer power of the explosion as they sift through the scattered debris. "It carried insulation a quarter of a mile away so I mean the blast was large-- very very large," Cox said.
Locals tell ABC 4 this same building exploded about two years ago.
The explosion will leave hundreds without jobs.
A gas leak caused the explosion. Investigators suspect it was propane.

Former Windber standout Tess Weaver is a sophomore forward with the Penn State womens hockey team. (Submitted photo / January 19, 2013) |
Tess Weaver knew that figure skating wasn't meant for her as soon as she followed in older brother Travis' footsteps and tried hockey.
The Windber graduate fell in love with the sport as soon as she tried it. That love has led to a spot on the Division I Penn State womens varsity hockey team.
"I started figure skating at 6 or 7 years old, but I was a tomboy and watched my brother play hockey and wanted to do it, too," Weaver said. "I started as a defender but switched to forward when I was 10 or 11 and I really just stuck with it from there. It's so fast and you always have to be thinking. It's like a puzzle."
Windber didn't have enough kids to have its own hockey team, so the school district reached a cooperative agreement with Greater Johnstown and both Weavers played for the Trojans for four years.
"The guys were very welcoming and treated me like a sister," she said. "It was nice having my brother with me for two years as well. We were a close-knit family. My mom was worried I would get hurt, but my dad had confidence in me being able to get hit. The coach would sit me if there was a lot of physical play and when it calmed down, I went back in."
Weaver earned team Most Valuable Player honors in 2011 and was the Trojans leading scorer in 2009-10.
When not on the ice, she was also a standout soccer player for the Lady Ramblers. She was a four-year letterwinner and three-time All-Somerset County First Team selection. She was on the Lady Ramblers 2009 District 5 championship team,
Other hockey teams she played with include the Altoona Trackers for two years, Team Pittsburgh for three years, the Allegheny Badgers for two years and the Pittsburgh Penguins Elite team for two years.
She won the 2007, 2008 and 2009 USA Hockey Tier 1 championships with Team Pittsburgh in the U14 and U16 age groups. Weaver also helped lead the Badgers to the 2005 USA Hockey Tier 1 U 16 championship.
"I played on mostly boys teams because it is hard to find a competitive girls team in central Pennsylvania," she said. "A lady from Pittsburgh contacted me about playing in a tournament in Canada and I loved it. It was the level of competition I was looking for with a girls team. I joined them and went from there. We played in numerous tournaments where college recruits were."

BERKELEY, Calif. – Washington cornerback Desmond Trufant appeared to tweak his left hamstring early in the second quarter and it took him off the field for most of the night.
Trufant made a tackle, then reached back to grab his leg. He was on the field for one more play, then spent the rest of the half being looked at by trainers on the sideline.
Trufant came out for the second half still in pads. He threw his helmet down and jumped on the stationary bike. He hopped around the sideline and worked on changing direction and backpedaling but did not go back in the game until late in the third quarter. He reappeared just for one series, however.
Coach Steve Sarkisian said he thinks Trufant could be back for next week's game against Utah and hopes the extra day of rest will help him recover in time.
Washington also lost nose tackle Josh Banks, and Pio Vatuvei filled in.
Cal suffered a significant injury when starting quarterback Zach Maynard was helped off the field after appearing to hurt his knee with 4:01 left in the game. He was replaced by redshirt junior Allan Bridgford. Bridgford was 2-for-7 after taking over during the Bears' final drive of the night.
Bishop Sankey started early and kept going.
Sankey finished with a career-high 189 rushing yards on 29 carries. He had 98 yards and a touchdown at the end of the first quarter. Sankey's previous career-high was 144 yards against Stanford.
But, all was not well. He fumbled twice before righting himself and scoring the winning touchdown on a 1-yard plunge with 4:11 left in the game.
Washington's all-time leading rusher Napoleon Kaufman was at the game. ... Cal receiver Chris Harper, who had to step in for injured Keenan Allen, had a career-high-tying seven catches for a career-high 101 yards. ... The last three Washington/Cal games have been decided in the final minute.

CD/LP/Track Review
Patricia Barber: Mythologies (2006)
Listeners who are familiar with Barber's work tend to expect thought-provoking lyrics, complex composition, innovative improvisation and sensual vocals, and this CD is no exception to the rule. Various characters from Ovid's metamorphosis serve as an inspiration for each song, but the lyrics and the music are commentaries on contemporary social, political and environmental issues. Both the music and the lyrics vary in style from one song to another, reflecting the various moods and ideas expressed by each character.
As always, Barber surrounds herself with talented musicians who bring their own fresh ideas and innovations to the material, making the whole much more than the sum of its parts. The music here is less introspective than her previous releases, and so are the lyrics, but Barber's delivery of the songs is impeccable. She has mastered the art of singing and her breathy contralto breathes life into every word.
This time around, however, the emphasis is not so much on her piano improvisation, but more on the ensemble playing. This is, however, only a small disappointment in an otherwise very rewarding disc.
Mythologies is the kind of recording that grows more interesting with each listen, and the poetry woven into the music attests yet again to the timelessness and universality of both forms of expression. This release is another excellent addition to Patricia Barber's discography and an oeuvre worthy of Ovid's legacy.
Track Listing: The Moon; Morpheus; Pygmalion; Hunger; Icarus; Orpheus/Sonnet; Persephone; Narcissus;
Whiteworld/Oedipus; Phaethon; The Hours.
Personnel: Patricia Barber: piano, vocals; Neal Alger: guitar; Michael Arnopol: bass; Eric Montzka: drums; Jim Gailloreto: alto saxophone, tenor saxophone; Paul Falk, Grazyna Auguscik, Lawrice Flowers, Airreal Watkins, Walter �Mitchell� Owens III: additional vocals; Choral Thunder, directed by Shelby Webb, Jr.: background vocals.

The patient group receiving active treatment met the secondary endpoints of regression of total (coronary) atheroma volume (TAV) and increases in Apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I) and HDL cholesterol. Unexpected strong placebo results will need to be further explored.
ASSURE, a 26-week, multi-center, double-blind, randomized, parallel group, placebo-controlled trial enrolled 324 patients and was led by the Cleveland Clinic. The secondary endpoints for ASSURE included safety and tolerability of RVX-208, effects of the compound on plasma ApoA-I, HDL cholesterol, HDL-subclasses and non-HDL lipid parameters.
"Together with the study's principal investigators, we remain focused on analyzing the full data set over the coming weeks and months to determine whether continued development of RVX-208 in cardiovascular disease is warranted," said Donald McCaffrey, president and chief executive officer of Resverlogix.
About RVX-208
RVX-208 is a first-in-class small molecule that inhibits BET bromodomains. RVX-208 functions by removing atherosclerotic plaque via reverse cholesterol transport (RCT), the natural process through which atherosclerotic plaque is transported out of the arteries and removed from the body by the liver. RVX-208 increases production of ApoA-I, the key building block of functional high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles and the type required for RCT. These newly produced, functional HDL particles are flat and empty and can efficiently remove plaque and stabilize or reverse atherosclerotic disease. ApoA-I may also exert beneficial effects in Alzheimer's disease and Diabetes Mellitus.
About Resverlogix
Resverlogix Corp. (TSX:RVX) is a clinical stage cardiovascular company developing compounds involving a therapeutic increase in ApoA-I. Resverlogix's RVX-208 is a first-in-class small molecule for the treatment of atherosclerosis and other chronic diseases such as diabetes mellitus and Alzheimer's disease. RVX-208 is the first BET bromodomain inhibitor in clinical trials. Resverlogix's common shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX: RVX).

DIY 'e-bombs' a threat to airliners
Box cutters, high flying geese and now this: a DIY electromagnetic pulse (EMP) weapon that can bring down a plane with a single microwave radio pulse blasted from the ground or even from the next seat over, according to experts.
The world's major military powers have tinkered with EMP warheads that broadcast radio-frequency shockwaves of hundreds of thousands of volts per meter. But now, any crackpot can build one of these "e-bombs" with low-cost equipment purchased online.
In analyzing electromagnetic weapons currently in development, the International Institute for Counter-Terrorism in Herzliya, Israel, discovered that there is plenty … Read more

Our East Texas Salvation Army bell ringer is officially a world record holder. Saturday night, Andre Thompson was awarded the golden bell for his record breaking 105 hours of bell ringing. The manager of that Walgreens on Rieck Road and Broadway Ave., in Tyler, was also granted a golden bell for his support.
Two other bell ringers tied for the world record, one in California, the other in Minnesota. Andre says he has been talking with the Minnesota man and hopes to meet him someday.
"Like I said I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me, so I mean I didn't doubt it, but I really appreciate what helped me make it through was the constant encouraging from the surrounding people in Tyler Texas and the surrounding cities," Andre Thompson, the East Texas world record holder, said.
Andre's kettle has earned more than $13,000 to date.
