A Quick Tribute to "Ike"
75% sure" that he will retire when it's done. Rams fans will want to give him a nice sendoff if this is the case, possibly including the burning of effigies of Jay Zygmunt and Drew Bennett outside the stadium. (Hey, it's 9 effing degrees outside. We're burning effigies for warmth, not just spite!)
Isaac Bruce is active for today's game against the Rams, and is "Just as no hoopster will ever replicate Michael Jordan's greatness, NFL receivers can forget about trying to be like Ike. Bruce is a unique talent with a singular personality, an impudent iconoclast guided by an all-consuming faith in God.
-- Michael Silver in SI, "The Spirit of St Louis"
Here are a few quick memories:
When the Rams arrived in St Louis, Bruce and Jerome Bettis were the only players of any note on the offense, and the Bus didn't stop here for long. Unfortunately, Bruce's talent remained mostly untapped during the next few injury-plagued years. In games he played, he was often electric. Few receivers could amass the kinds of yards he did -- 191 yards and 2 TDs against Atlanta in 1995, 229 yards and a score against Baltimore in '96, 233 with 2 TDs against Atlanta in '97 -- from quarterbacks as erratic as Chris Miller and Tony Banks.
However, after Bettis' trade and his health issues, he was often angry and dissatisfied with himself and with his team. He rarely gave in to any diva-esque displays that we come to expect from the most talented WRs in the game, but once was enough.
The frustration boiled over in October '97 when, after a 17-9 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, Bruce criticized the offense's effort. Vermeil, in his first year, shot back, referring to Bruce as a "so-called superstar." Their relationship has been strained ever since.
However, much like Steven Jackson this season, Bruce rededicated himself to his health and preparation and came back strong for the fateful 1999 season. A season in which everyone's job appeared to be in jeopardy after Vermeil was forced to purge many of his assistants, and the team brought in a big gamble at quarterback -- Trent Green. Bruce's own position on the roster might be usurped by the drafting of a brash young talent from North Carolina.
Instead of embracing just one weapon in the passing game, however, the Rams under Mike Martz used all of them. All the time. And Bruce's career was reborn. And the Rams' faith in Bruce was renewed, as they inked him to a massive $42 million dollar payday.
Formerly fragile, Bruce missed only one game until turf toe sidelined him in 2005. However, he returned for full seasons in 2006-07, and continued to be a reliable target on the field.
However, the Rams -- driven largely by fan dissatisfaction with their team's all-too-apparent inconsistencies on defense and special teams -- responded in the only reasonable way possible: by firing the architect of their offense and releasing Bruce.
A collective "WHAT????" flooded the Saint Louis airwaves as the Rams went and signed his replacement, Drew Bennett, to perhaps the worst contract in St Louis sports history -- eclipsing even Tino Martinez's albatross deal. Meanwhile, Bruce was reunited with Martz in San Francisco less than a day after his release. And naturally, he immediately became the team's leader in reception yards and touchdowns.
This season, though, he has been a largely forgotten man as age, minor injuries, and a highly inconsistent 49ers offense have put him on the sidelines. In last season's return to the dome, he caught the game-winning touchdown in a hard-fought 17-16 win. Fans cheered him anyway.
In this season's farewell, who knows how much time he'll see, or how much impact he'll have? But one thing is for sure, the fans will cheer him anyway.

Robert Williams (born May 6, 1987[1]), better known by his stage name Meek Mill, is an American hip hop recording artist from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He was briefly signed to Atlanta-based record label Grand Hustle, owned by record executive and fellow American rapper T.I.. In February 2011, after leaving Grand Hustle, Mill signed a record deal with fellow American rapper Rick Ross' Miami-based Maybach Music Group (MMG) imprint.
After releasing several self-released mixtapes for free in his early career, Mill released his debut studio album after securing a recording contract with Maybach Music Group. The album, titled Dreams and Nightmares, was released in 2012, under MMG and Warner Bros. Records. The album, preceded by the singles "Amen", "Burn" and "Young & Gettin' It", debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200. He has also appeared on MMG's Self Made compilation series, with his debut single "Tupac Back" and second single "Ima Boss", being included on volume one.
In October 2012, Meek Mill announced the launching of his very own imprint, Dream Chasers Records, named after his popular mixtape series. He also revealed having already signed several fellow Philadelphia-based rappers.
Music career
2003–2007: Career beginnings with The Bloodhoundz
Meek Mill, alongside three of his friends, formed a rap group and called themselves The Bloodhoundz. The group lasted long enough to release four mixtapes.[2]
2008–2010: Solo mixtapes and Grand Hustle deal
In 2008, Mill released his fourth mixtape Flamers 2: Hottest in tha City, which spawned promotional singles "I'm So Fly," "Prolli," and "Hottest in the City." Upon the release of Flamerz 2, it caught the attention of Charlie Mack, founder and President of 215 Aphillyated Records. Mack was so impressed with Mill, that he immediately signed him to his management company. During that same year, Meek Mill also met the founder and owner of Grand Hustle Records, fellow American rapper T.I.. The Atlanta-based rapper was also so impressed by Mill, that he offered him an opportunity to travel to Los Angeles, to meet with him and Warner Bros. Records; within one week both record companies offered him a deal. Although he was offered other record deals, Mill felt collaborating with T.I. was an opportunity of a lifetime and thus chose his label. However just when things were starting to look up for Mill, a record deal and the chance to work with T.I., a set back occurred. He was arrested, charged with a crime and order to serve seven months in jail. Mill was released early 2009.[2]
Under Grand Hustle, Mill formed a work relationship with the label's resident disc jockey, DJ Drama. Mill and Drama teamed up to release the third edition of Mill's Flamers series. The mixtape, titled Flamers 3: The Wait Is Over, was released on March 12, 2010 and is a "Gangsta Grillz mixtape".[3][4][5] The mixtape features his promotional single "Rosé Red", which was later remixed with additional verses from fellow American rappers T.I., Rick Ross and Vado.[3] Rick Ross contributed his verse after he was visiting Philadelphia and asked his Twitter followers who he should collaborate with; Meek Mill was the overwhelming response.[3] The remix was included on Mill's following mixtape, Mr. Philadelphia.[6] Due to Mill's and label-boss T.I.'s respective legal troubles, Mill was never able to release an album under Grand Hustle and they parted ways in 2010.[7]
2011–2012: MMG, Dreamchasers series and Dreams & Nightmares
In February 2011, Rick Ross announced the signing of Mill along with fellow American rapper Wale to his Maybach Music Group (MMG) label. In March 2011, Mill was included in XXL's "Freshman Class of 2011".[8] Later that year, he released his debut single, "Tupac Back", featuring Rick Ross, from his label's compilation album Self Made Vol. 1 (2011). That same year he released his second single, "Ima Boss", also take from the compilation and featuring Ross. The song was later remixed, featuring T.I., Birdman, Lil Wayne, DJ Khaled, Swizz Beatz and Rick Ross. The remix charted on the Billboard Hot 100 and peaked at #51, becoming Mill's most successful single at that time. In August 2011, Mill released Dreamchasers, a well received mixtape featuring his urban hit "House Party" and guest appearances from Rick Ross, Yo Gotti and Beanie Siegel among others.
In February 2012, MTV listed Meek Mill as the "#7 hottest MC" in their annual "Hottest MCs in the Game" list.[9] On May 7, 2012 Mill released the second installment to his Dreamchasers series. The mixtape features guest appearances from Drake, Jeremih, Big Sean, Kendrick Lamar, 2 Chainz and more.[10] Mill has stated his favorite tracks off the tape are "Amen," "A1 Everything" and "Racked Up Shawty" with French Montana and Fabolous.[11] Within six hours of its release on mixtape website DatPiff.com, Dreamchasers 2 was downloaded 1.5 million times.[12] On May 10, it was announced Meek Mill signed with Roc Nation management.[11]
On June 19, 2012, "Amen" - originally included on Dreamchasers 2, was released as the lead single from Mill's debut studio album. Before releasing his debut studio album Dreams & Nightmares, Mill received co-signs from both Mariah Carey and Nas, with him appearing on Carey's 2012 single "Triumphant (Get 'Em)" and the latter stating, "I got my eyes on him. He's the next one to take this shit over." The album was released on October 30, 2012.[13] Following an album release party in Philadelphia, Mill was detained by Philadelphia police after a car in which he was riding in was pulled over. No charges were filed, and Mill was released from custody.[14] The album debuted at number 2 on the US Billboard 200 chart with first-week sales of 165,000 copies.[15] In its second week the album sold 41,000 more copies dropping 6 spots on the chart to number 8.[15]
2013-present: Second studio album
Mill is planning to release a third installment of the Dreamchasers series, Dreamchasers 3.[16] The mixtape will feature guest appearances from Rick Ross, Akon, Future, Waka Flocka Flame, Wale, Trina and Jadakiss among others.[16][17] The mixtape was scheduled to be released on May 6, 2013.[18] However, he announced that it would be pushed back, eventually to be released on September 29, 2013.[19] In November 2013, Mill revealed that he was already half-way finished with his second studio album, which is due for release in 2014.[20] On March 8, 2014, Meek Mill announced that his second studio album would be titled Dreams Worth More Than Money.[21]

Gutta and Lil Snupe.[24]
On June 20, 2013 Dream Chasers artist Lil Snupe was murdered at an apartment building in Winnfield, Louisiana by two gunshots to the chest.[25][26] A warrant was issued for 36 year-old Tony Holden in connection with the shooting.[27] Holden was on the run from police for four days before turning himself in to authorities.[28]

Legal troubles
In 2008, Mill was arrested, convicted of drug dealing and gun possession and was sentenced to 11 to 23 months in prison. Mill was released during the early portion of 2009 under a five year parole agreement.[30][31][32]
In December 2012, Mill was found to have violated his probation in failing to stop scheduling performances to allow for a reinstatement of his travel permit. The judge revoked Mill's travel permit.[33]
In May 2013, Mill was found to have violated his probation and was ordered to take etiquette classes. The violation was a failure to report travel plans as required and included notes that his social media postings had resulted in death threats to the judge, ADA and probation office on the case.[31] In requiring the classes and stressing the requirement to report travel, the judge noted, "You need to try to get this right next time."[32]
In June 2013, the court noted that Mill continually failed to report his travel plans. The judge established an August deadline for the classes, noting that Mill has "a lot of issues" and that the classes would provide him with a "big-picture perspective" as to his personal and professional actions. The judge stated the classes were "more important than any concerts he might have."[34] Of the requirement to provide travel plans to his probation officer, Mill complained, "You just gonna miss money all day." The ADA explained that it was a consequence of being on probation.[35]
Following the release of the lead single for Dreams & Nightmares, entitled "Amen", Philadelphia area pastor Rev. Jomo K. Johnson called for a boycott of Mill due to the lyrical content of "Amen". In a statement, he said that, "As a hip-hop fan, I want to encourage every rap fan in Philadelphia who is a believer in Jesus Christ, to boycott Meek Mill until he acknowledges this blatant disrespect. And being resident of North Philadelphia and pastor, I revoke Meek's 'hood pass' until this happens."[36] On July 17, in an interview on the BET show 106 & Park, Mill stated, "I don't think no preacher or no church approves of any type of rap music—because rap music, period, is a lot of bad stuff said. But at the end of the day, it's real life. And me, I wasn't trying to disrespect no religion or anything like that."[37]
Feud with Cassidy
A feud started between Meek Mill and fellow Philadelphia-based rapper Cassidy, when Mill offered to battle several underground rappers including Cassidy. Cassidy would later accept the challenge, adding "if the money was right". They participated in a short "twitter beef", after which Cassidy released "The Diary of a Hustla", which was originally thought to be a diss track towards Mill. This was later refuted by Cassidy.[38] They both asked $100,000 each for the battle to take place.[39][40] However after Meek Mill dissed Cassidy's song "Condom Style" (a remake of Psy's "Gangnam Style") Cassidy released a formal diss track towards Mill with "Me, Myself & iPhone".[41][42] Afterwards, Meek Mill responded with the diss track "Repo", which Mill later said would be the final diss record he would release against Cassidy.[43] Cassidy later said the feud was not personal, saying it was all in the spirit of hip hop.[44] On January 6, 2013 Cassidy released a 10 minute long diss response titled "Raid".[45] Eight months later, on September 5, 2013 Meek Mill released another diss record towards Cassidy, titled "Kendrick You Next", where he raps over the speculated diss by The Notorious B.I.G. "Who Shot Ya". This is despite the fact he said "Repo" would be his final diss record.[46] Three days later, Cassidy released a diss record titled "Catch A Body", as a response.[47]

The joys of Christmas are many and varied in our diverse community and give us all an opportunity to trade traditions, introduce new friends to time-honored rituals or learn new ones ourselves.
Roast turkey or roast pig this year? Maybe we'll have a ham or a goose instead. We are grateful for having so many delicious choices.
Happy, too, that Christmas in South Florida provides such unique images — lights strung out on palm trees, lining boats and waterfront docks, for instance — so in contrast to the snowy scenes on holiday cards. A drive around town on a December night always elicits a smile at the quirky charms of this place we choose to call home. No chestnuts roasting on an open fire when it's 84 degrees outside. Let's have some stone crabs, instead.
And while there is nothing spontaneous about this holiday, often planned down to the last stocking stuffer, its arrival does inspire the impulsive giver in most of us, something every savvy charity knows. You can't swipe a credit card this month without being asked to donate electronically to some needy cause.
The Miami Herald has long operated its own good cause, Wish Book, featuring stories of individuals and families down on their luck or beset by illness whose lives would be improved with something — a motorized wheel chair, a gas card, a decent bed. For 41 years generous South Floridians have responded to the stories that run daily from Thanksgiving through mid-January chronicling the struggling lives of people around us.
There appears to be no let-up in your generosity this year, as donations just keep coming. Thank you!
The giving is in spirit with the man whose birth we celebrate today. Jesus practiced what he preached, helping the most humble without stint and, as Christians are taught, ultimately giving his life for those who believe in him. In virtually every faith the spirit of giving and practicing humility remain universal.
For some, this year, it will take every bit of that faith to struggle with the enormous sorrow wrought by the school shooting in Newtown, Conn.
On this day so deeply linked with peace and good will, it seems only right to take moment from the festivities and ponder hard on how we, as individuals, can join together to prevent such unwarranted tragedies in the future. There are so many families grieving this year, in Colorado, Oregon, Connecticut, seeking solace for the heinous, unfathomable acts that ripped their loved ones out of their lives.
We must come together as a nation to rid ourselves of this brutal plague. We must not be impotent in the face of such evil. We must emulate the man we are celebrating, all the peacemakers of all faiths, and resist the temptation to shrug, to do nothing, to turn away from the blunt truth of violence triumphing over innocence.
Today, we must hug our loved ones extra tight, savoring what we have, what we've given, preparing to launch a new year and promising a firmer commitment to make our families' lives better, and safer, in 2013. Really, to make our communities safer.
For that's one thing that this holiday season of Hanukkah, Christmas and Kwanzaa celebrations brings out in our diverse midst: a once-a-year sense of togetherness. We share the traditions, sample new rites, taste new foods, nod greetings more, smile more, cut some slack for others, donate to good causes and generally experience a warmth of spirit that has nothing to do with our balmy weather.
If there's one thing living in such a polyglot place teaches us, it is the need to respect others if we want to succeed. So we learn to greet each other with festive words, and this time of year we really mean them. Merry Christmas. Happy Hanukkah. Feliz Navidad. Joyeux Noel. Lovely words, all. We must remember to live up to their good will the other 364 days of the year — the true meaning of Christmas.

[JURIST] UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay [official profile] said Wednesday that strengthening human rights is an integral part of the rebuilding process [statement, PDF] in Haiti. In her remarks, Pillay mentioned the role that the inhumane living conditions may have had in the high casualty numbers resulting from the January 12 earthquake [NYT backgrounder; JURIST news archive], placing blame on the Duvalier regime for those conditions. According to Pillay, the high number of casualties could have been predicted by the damage sustained in that country following a series of tropical storms in 2008 [CNN report]. Pillay concluded her remarks with a call to action, saying:
As the Secretary-General noted we must help Haiti build back better. This also entails re-constructing and strengthening the national human rights protection systems through an effective and independent judiciary and a law enforcement apparatus respectful of human rights. A reliable National Human Rights Institution and a vigilant civil society must be empowered to be active partners in this endeavour.
[JURIST] The UK Supreme Court [official website] ruled [judgment, PDF; press release, PDF] Wednesday that executive orders allowing the government to freeze the assets of suspected terrorists are illegal. The five men involved in the court's inaugural case [JURIST report] argued that the government exceeded its power when the Treasury Department [official website] froze their assets without the approval of Parliament. They are accused by the British government of terrorism offenses, but have not been formally charged by any court. Justice Lord Hope said the orders, which can be extended indefinitely, are unduly burdensome on those accused of links to terrorism:
The consequences of the Orders that were made in this case are so drastic and so oppressive that we must be just as alert to see that the coercive action that the Treasury have taken really is within the powers that [Parliament] has given them. Even in the face of the threat of international terrorism, the safety of the people is not the supreme law. We must be just as careful to guard against unrestrained encroachments on personal liberty.
[JURIST] A Yemeni government official said Wednesday that Yemen will build a rehabilitation center for Guantanamo Bay [JURIST news archives] detainees. According to the anonymous official, Yemen will begin building [Reuters report] once it receives funding for the $11 million project promised by the US. It is believed the rehabilitation center will be internationally financed and monitored [Telegraph report]. The project will be discussed on Wednesday at a meeting intended to garner international support in the wake of discovering that a Yemeni branch of al Qaeda trained the Nigerian man involved in the attempted Christmas day bombing [JURIST news archive].The White House announced earlier this month that the US government will suspend transfers [JURIST report] of Guantanamo Bay detainees to Yemen based on security concerns. Most of the nearly 200 detainees remaining at Guantanamo are Yemeni, and many detainees have been transferred back to Yemen. Earlier this month, the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit [official website] upheld the detention [JURIST report] of Yemeni Guantanamo detainee Ghaleb Nassar Al-Bihani [NYT materials], ruling that he can remain in US custody, but, last month, the US government transferred six detainees [JURIST report] back to Yemen. Also last month, a federal judge granted Yemeni detainee Saeed Hatim's petition for habeas corpus, ordering his release [JURIST report].
[JURIST] China's Supreme People's Court (SPC) [official website, in Chinese] on Wednesday announced new anti-corruption rules in an effort to increase public confidence in the rule of law. The new regulations [Xinhua report] prohibit various activities including accepting bribes, having sex with litigants, intimidation, and intentionally prolonging court proceedings, with punishments ranging from demerits to removal. Chinese courts are under the control of the Communist Party of China (CPC) [GlobalSecurity backgrounder], which announced plans [JURIST report] earlier this month to increase its oversight of the families of government officials to control corruption. A communique released by the CPC's Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI), which is in charge of detecting and preventing corruption in the CPC, ordered other CPC organs to carefully monitor officials to make sure they are not accepting bribes or receiving improper gifts.China's new judicial regulations come after the conviction [JURIST report] of former SPC vice president Huang Songyou on bribery and embezzlement charges earlier this month. Huang is the highest-ranking judge to be charged with corruption since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Between 2005 and 2008, Huang allegedly embezzled 3.9 million yuan (about $574,000 USD) while serving as vice president of the SPC, and he allegedly embezzled 1.2 million yuan (about $175,000 USD) while serving as president of the Intermediate People's Court of Zhanjiang in 1997.
[JURIST] The Russian Federation Council [official website, in Russian] on Wednesday voted to ratify Protocol 14 [text] to reform the European Convention of Human Rights [text, PDF]. Council members voted 137-0 [results, in Russian] to pass the legislation, following earlier approval [JURIST report] by the State Duma. The ratification process will be complete once Russian President Dmitry Medvedev [official profile] approves the provision [AFP report]. Russia is the last member of the Council of Europe (COE) [official website] to ratify the protocol, which includes reforms to increase efficiency of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) [official website], such as filtering out inadmissible and repetitive cases. Russia was initially opposed to ratifying the protocol, which it claimed was politically motivated.In June, the COE harshly criticized Russia's judicial system and called for reform [JURIST report]. In recent years, Russia has had the largest number of cases pending in the ECHR out of any COE member-state. In 2009, Russia had 32,600 cases pending, followed next by Turkey, which had 12,800 cases pending, and in 2008 [statistics, PDF] Russia had 27,250 cases pending, followed next by Turkey, which had 11,100 cases pending. In 2008, Medvedev proposed that Russian courts become more transparent [JURIST report] in order to restore faith in the justice system and prevent people from turning to the ECHR.
[JURIST] Bangladesh officials on Wednesday executed two of five former military officers sentenced to death for the 1975 assassination of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman [Hindustan Times profile], the country's founding president, just hours after the country's Supreme Court [official website] rejected their petitions for review. The five men, Syed Faruk Rahman, Mohiuddin Ahmed, Baziul Huda, AKM Mohiuddin, and Sultan Shahriar Rashid Khan, had appealed an earlier ruling [JURIST report] that upheld their death sentences. Under Bangladesh law, a convict sentenced to death has the right to appeal the final judgment of his case and can petition the president for clemency. Three of the five men had already made clemency pleas, which were rejected [IANS report] last week by President Zillur Rahman. The remaining three are expected to be executed shortly.Mujibur was killed at his home, along with his wife and three sons, in a military coup only four years after Bangladesh won independence [TIME backgrounder] from Pakistan in 1971. His daughter, the current Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wajed [official website], was abroad at the time of the killings and had promised to make her father's murder trial a priority of her administration when she was elected in 2008 to a second term in office [JURIST report].
[JURIST] Ugandan Principal Judge James Ogoola said Monday that the newly established War Crimes Division (WCD) [official website, JURIST news archive] of the High Court will seek to recruit foreign judges. Ogoola explained the need [New Vision report] for foreign judges, citing the international nature of the cases. He said that foreign judges would improve both the quality of the WCD's work and the public's perception of the court. In June, WCD officials began reaching out to the areas most affected by the war with the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) [BBC backgrounder, JURIST news archive] in the Acholi, Lango, Teso, and District of Adjumani regions of the country, seeking to lay the groundwork for future investigations. Ogoola appointed three High Court Judges to serve on the WCD in July 2008 after the new division was created [JURIST report] in May of that year. The WCD was formed specifically to try war crimes cases involving the LRA and will not hear other allegations [JURIST report] of war crimes. Uganda's government agreed to create the war crimes court [JURIST report] in February 2008 during peace negotiations with the LRA. At the time, there was speculation that the WCD, which has the authority to try LRA leaders, was created to persuade the International Criminal Court (ICC) [official website] to drop its arrest warrants for LRA leaders. More than four years after the warrants were initially issued, the ICC is still seeking the arrest [JURIST report] of LRA leader Joseph Kony [BBC profile] and his deputies.
[JURIST] The Zimbabwe High Court [official website] ruled on Tuesday that it is not bound by the decision of the Southern Africa Development Community Tribunal (SADC Tribunal) [official website] that ordered the state to halt its controversial Land Reform Program [official website]. The court refused to register [Zimbabwe Telegraph report] a SADC Tribunal ruling [JURIST report] that prevents the state from acquiring land for the purpose of resettlement. Justice Bharat Patel believed that enforcing the ruling, which was in favor of white farmers whose land was taken over in the government's farm redistribution program [JURIST report], would violate the Zimbabwean Constitution and would be against public policy. Patel believed that a decision in favor the SADC ruling would lead to the removal of the majority of the people that the government was trying to support through the redistribution program.The Zimbabwe High Court had previously ruled [JURIST report] that the SADC Tribunal is not superior to the courts of the individual SADC member countries. In December 2008, four white Zimbabwe farmers were charged with trespassing [JURIST report] on state property for failing to vacate lands that the government seized for the land reform program, in open defiance of the November 2008 SADC Tribunal ruling. One of the farmers, Colin Cloete, filed suit to cause the government and attorney general to register the SADC ruling in the High Court Registry, a step necessary to enable its enforcement in the country. Government officials have expressed that the land reform program is necessary [JURIST report] to correct past racial disparities that favored the white farmers, and the land reform program will continue.
[JURIST] Dozens of countries have illegally used secret detention facilities in their counter-terrorism efforts, according to a joint study [text, DOC; press release] issued Tuesday by four independent UN investigating groups. Information for the detailed study was collected through a questionnaire completed by 44 countries, as well several interviews with former detainees, their families, or their legal counsel. The study was particularly critical of actions taken by the US government since it began its "War on Terror" [JURIST news archive] in 2001. The report also acknowledged [Reuters report] that detainees are being secretly held in Algeria, China, Egypt, India, Iran, Russia, Sudan, and Zimbabwe. The study stated:
International law clearly prohibits secret detention, which violates a number of human rights and humanitarian law norms that may not be derogated from under any circumstances. If secret detention constitutes enforced disappearances and is widely or systematically practiced, it may even amount to a crime against humanity. However ... secret detention continues to be used in the name of countering terrorism around the world. The evidence gathered by the four experts for the present study clearly show that many States, referring to concerns relating to national security often perceived or presented as unprecedented emergencies or threats resort to secret detention.
[JURIST] Honduran Supreme Court [official website, in Spanish] President Jorge Rivera on Tuesday exonerated six military leaders accused of abuse of power for removing former president Manuel Zelaya [BBC profile; JURIST news archive] from the country last June. Rivera found [Honduras Weekly report] that the leaders did not intend to harm Zelaya and that his removal was necessary in order to preserve the peace. The Supreme Court had charged [JURIST report] the commanders - head of the Joint Chiefs of the Armed Forces Romeo Vasquez, deputy head of the Joint Chiefs Venancio Cervantes, Inspector General Carlos Cuellar, Commandant of the Army Miguel Garcia, Commandant of the Navy Juan Rodriguez, and Commandant of the Air Force Luis Javier Prince - last week and ordered them to remain in the country until after the court had reached its decision. The charges were filed when prosecutors argued [JURIST report] to the court that the military commanders violated the Honduran Constitution [text, in Spanish] when they seized Zelaya and put him on a plane to Costa Rica. If they had been convicted, the military leaders could have faced up to six years in prison. Also Tuesday, the Honduran National Congress [official website, in Spanish] approved amnesty for both Zelaya and the military.Tuesday's ruling comes the day before Porfirio Lobo is scheduled to be sworn into office as president and Zelaya is expected to leave the Brazilian Embassy in Honduras. Last month, congress voted 111-14 not to reinstate [JURIST report] Zelaya. This followed a non-binding advisory opinion from the Supreme Court that Zelaya could not legally return to office [JURIST report]. Zelaya was ousted [JURIST report] in June, following a judicial order [press release, in Spanish] asserting that he had broken Honduran law by attempting to conduct a controversial referendum on constitutional reform [JURIST report], contrary to a Supreme Court ruling. Zelaya, along with the US, the UN, the Organization of American States (OAS), and the European Union, maintain that his removal was a coup, while the interim government of Roberto Micheletti asserts that it was a lawful transition of power.
[JURIST] The US Department of Justice (DOJ) [official website] announced [press release] on Tuesday that an Uzbek Guantanamo Bay [JURIST news archive] detainee has been transferred to Switzerland. The detainee, whose identity will not be disclosed in order to facilitate his transition into life in Switzerland, was unanimously approved for transfer. The Swiss government agreed [JURIST report] to accept the detainee for resettlement "on humanitarian grounds" after reassurances from the US that the man was not convicted of any crime and will not be a threat to public safety. The detainee was originally cleared for release in 2005, but could not return to Uzbekistan for fear of persecution.The transfer to Switzerland is the latest in series of recent transfers that may demonstrate a renewed commitment from the Obama administration to close the military facility. Other detainees have recently been sent to Slovakia, Algeria, Afghanistan, Somaliland and Yemen [JURIST reports]. Earlier this month, however, the White House announced [JURIST report] that further transfers of detainees to Yemen will be suspended due to security concerns. Last week, a presidential task force recommended [JURIST report] that 35 Guantanamo detainees face trial or military commissions.

Pineal Gland HormonesPineal gland hormones include melatonin and ramelteon (Rozerem). Melatonin is a hormone produced by the pineal gland (located in the brain) during the dark hours of the day-night cycle (circadian rhythm). Melatonin levels in the body are low during daylight hours. The pineal gland responds to darkness by increasing melatonin levels in the body. This process is thought to be integral to maintaining circadian rhythm. Ramelteon is a prescription drug that stimulates melatonin receptors. It promotes the onset of sleep and helps normalize circadian rhythm disorders. It is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for insomnia characterized by difficulty falling asleep. Melatonin has been reported to be useful in the treatment of jet lag. Melatonin is believed to be effective when crossing five or more time zones, and is less effective when traveling in a westward direction. Melatonin is also used in the treatment of insomnia in elderly patients who are melatonin deficient and have trouble falling asleep. Melatonin has also been used for treatment of circadian rhythm sleep disorders in people who are blind and have no light perception. Melatonin is available as over-the-counter and is not approved by the FDA for sleep disorders as it is considered an alternative medicine. Caution is advised that variations in quality, purity, and quantity of the active ingredient in natural pharmaceuticals make interpretation of clinical studies difficult and raises concerns about appropriate dose, drug interactions, and possible contaminants. Individual patients may or may not experience the reported benefits of melatonin. Slow-release melatonin products are reported to be less effective. Who should not use these medications?
Use: Swallow prescribed dose 30 minutes before bedtime on an empty stomach. Drug or food interactions: Drugs that inhibit metabolism of melatonin and ramelteon, such as fluvoxamine (Luvox), may increase the risk for toxicity. Rifampin increases the metabolism of ramelteon, therefore decreasing its effectiveness. Melatonin has been reported to interfere with warfarin (Coumadin). Side effects:
Pregnancy: Penal gland hormones are in Pregnancy Category C. This means there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women for pineal gland hormones. Consult a physician to determine if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when administered to a nursing woman as the effect of on a nursing infant is not known.

Where did you get to OUTLAW? I hope everything's okay, drop me a line will you.
Hey Outlaw! How ya been bro? Did you hear what happened to the Finns at the Olympics? Just horrible! Almost made me cry! Oh, Man, I feel so sorry for the Finns now that I know what went on at the Olympics that they didn't show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mKVJeA-wTw You'll see what I mean on that! LOL! Even though it's in Dutch/Nederlander, you'll see what happened and understand! Oh, if we're lucky, we'll see prices start to turn down a bit within the next 12 days to five weeks. As usual, it won't go down enough. Have a great day and week ahead.

No time for me to talk much. Oil and gas are up and still headed up on the wholesale market. You might want to get fueled up within the next day or two,, preferrably today, even the company you work for might want to. It's up by 8 cents a gallon on gas, which means it should be going up within two to three days max. Though we'll see how much within the next day or two or for how long. I try to warn as many ahead of time so they save a few pennies or a few bucks. Pass it on to others if you want!
The new year is here,boy does time fly when we are having fun. Have a Great New Year. Harvey
Wishing you and yours a Very Happy New Year!
Wishing You and Yours a Blessed New Year
Wishing you and your family the blessings of the season and joyful, safe and warm holiday celebrations.............Michael

Monoprice 27" IPS LED CrystalPro Monitor WQHD 2560x1440 $390
Last edited by widgit; 12-28-2012 at 01:03 PM..
I have the Shimian version and love it. I do like the Monoprice design better. It puts the power button in front and looks to have speakers and audio in which mine doesn't. It's already my main monitor in a 3 monitor setup, but this has me thinking how to make room for a 4th.
I already grabbed an Auria from Microcenter, but this monitor looks real nice. The design looks decent and mounting the connections on the side is genius. But is DVI the only connection? The Auria has DVI, Display Port, VGA, and HDMI. A lack of connections could be a deal killa for some people on what should otherwise be a very successful product for Monoprice.
Mine just arrived yesterday.
It does have speakers, crappy though they may be. Not an expert on monitors but I like it so far. Stand is okay, bit wobbly but not terrible. Screen looks good to me, very good brightness and clarity, coming from a matte screen. The bottom of the bezel has 4 extra buttons that do nothing, not sure what happened there. I have yet to really test it out on a modern game, I have been playing Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition lately. DVI is only connection. That is a big plus in my book because it eliminates the greatest cause of input lag, the scaler that is needed for different inputs. Last edited by triclops41; 12-28-2012 at 12:24 PM.. |
from the monoprice website:
The heart of this monitor is the beautiful IPS (In-Plane Switching) LED panel made by LG in Korea. This is the same panel that is used in the 27" Apple Cinema Displays, which are famous for their stunning color reproduction and ultra-wide viewing angle. The IPS technology in this monitor helps produce this color and viewing angle, as well as increasing response time to 6 milliseconds, which is a critical factor for gaming. |

The package - an attempt at a political compromise - anticipates restoring all the superior court judges removed by President Pervez Musharraf under last November's declaration of emergency, provides new limits on judicial and presidential power, and enshrines constitutional protections for a more independent judiciary. According to Pakistan's Post newspaper, it includes the following specific provisions on the judiciary:

Feel like starting a thread where we can share our best and worst Primal related moments of the day..............Just for fun!
Best: Explaining to my DD who is 13 about the primal squat. She thought it was cool so we popped a squat across from each other. I drank a cup of coffee and she had a snack while we had a nice chit chat in our Primal squats. Love the fact that she doesn't think I'm weird
Worst: Hasn't happened yet, but we have plans to hang with the kids and watch the Lord of the Rings........I know pop corn will be involved. It's not so much that I will crave it, it's listening to 6 people crunch.....lol......I better start chopping some celery sticks
He who dares not offend cannot be honest.
Best primal moment of today. Grinding up three pounds of gf beef to make into make ahead meat loaves and patties. And there was a nice little bit of trimmed fat to add to the fat bag (who ya callin' a fat bag?) in the freezer.
Two days ago, something just sort of clicked. It wasn't a big thing like when you wake up after a bad cold and you can breathe, more like a little shift. I went from feeling all around good to feeling really very good. Hard to explain.
Haven't really had anything negative happen in awhile that relates to eating or exercise.
"Right is right, even if no one is doing it; wrong is wrong, even if everyone is doing it." - St. Augustine
Showing a fishing buddy how to identify the liver, then pulling it out, rinsing it and eating it. Yum and the reactions were priceless
Four years Primal with influences from Jaminet & Shanahan and a focus on being anti-inflammatory. Using Primal to treat CVD and prevent stents from blocking free of drugs.
Eat creatures nose-to-tail (animal, fowl, fish, crustacea, molluscs), a large variety of vegetables (raw, cooked and fermented, including safe starches), dairy (cheese & yoghurt), occasional fruit, cocoa, turmeric & red wine
Shopping at the farmer's market and walking in the park.

Annie's Primal Highlights
What Annie Did Next
Best Primal moments today: steering clear of Girl Scout cookies for my boyfriend, eating a BAS that was literally 1lb. of vegetables (i weighed it), and being able to wear shorts in 50 degree weather. Before going Primal, I was wearing a coat in 7- degrees! Yay muscles!
Worst Primal moments: being forced to purchase Raisin Bran, Baguettes, English muffins, Peter Pan Peanut butter, and Velveeta cheese for my boyfriend. ugh... he wonders why he needs a nap every day -___-
(last night's faileo moment was brought to you by peanut butter! *grrr*)
Best: Getting a slight sunburn in early March - I'm from Michigan, but live in Turkey at the moment, and I'm totally digging the warm weather
Second best: Drinking 4 glasses of raw milk - yum
Travel, eat well, and learn about life - three things I love to do
Curious about what YOU should pack next time you're on the road? Check out my Definitive Guide to Backpacking Nutrition
Please take this weather from me. I live in SoCal, we're looking at 85+ all next week and I can't stand it. I don't want the sun to maim my beautiful porcelain skin. My skin is so pale, I frequently get asked the following questions: "Are you sick?" "Do you ever go outside!?"(ironically I'm outside then) "Are you cold?"(I'm wearing a short sleeve shirt and it's like 60 degrees...) "Are you dying?" "Are you dead?" "Do you bleach your skin?" Ecetera ecetera
With my hair colored a midnight blueish black, I look like a straight up vampire; especially with my rather sharp canine teeth(which should indicate I'm aligned to eating meat, but I'm not!)
Anyway, my best primal moment yesterday:
Says it all really.

Yeah I figured out I wasn't using the right search terms (and was not in scholar mode... In shopping. HA!)
I find his numbers very hard to believe. One to two thirds of rainbow fish caught and then released die? Shouldn't i be seeing dead fish everywhere?
You probably would if everyone were holding their fish out of the water for 60 seconds like they did in the study.
Matt- Do you have the full PDF of the study? 60 seconds is a long time. I would like to read their methods if anyone has a full copy of this or any of the other studies I'm coming across online. It's always just the abstract.
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0165783607001233 an example with bluegill http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/...sCustomisedMessage=&userIsAuthenticated=false example with atlantic salmon bottom line...the less time a fish is out of the water after angling, the better...zero time is best...hence the regulation...not to mention that it prevents dragging fish into a boat, or onto the gravel.
So let's do a human study. Let's take 100 guys from the board, chosen at random or ones that are chosen for being "biters" (ones that post on a lot of threads). We take them down to the local high school track field, have them run 800 meters being dragged down by a linebacker the whole way. When they finish the run, take their head and shove it under water for 60 seconds. How many of you would die of a heart attack, or drown? 10%? 20%? more?
who really gives a shit? I get tired of you holier than thou people that post this stuff every year. Nobody is ever going to get a ticket for violating Sparkey's law so why waste you time and energy on it.
You can take a great picture with the fish still in the water. Some like to pose a little longer than most but the only thing that I am for sure of is I would be a floater in Mr. Hicks study. I'm in the 10% group, I'm sure only 10% of my body would be out of the water at the end of his test
Yeah I have to agree with Shawn K on this one. I am a fisherman, I mostly fly fish but I almost hate to say that out loud anymore. Fly fisherman have really given them selves a very bad image, especially steelhead fly fisherman. such as being unfriendly on the rivers more often than not and pushing ridiculous laws that are self serving for a small portion of the angling community down the throats of everyone else that would like to keep a trout now and then or hold a salmon or steelhead out of the water for a few seconds to get a photo. As far as the steelhead out of the water issue goes, they are a little tougher than they are given credit for. They are not going to melt or disolve if taken out of the water. Think of all the obsticales they have to overcome to make it back to the river then spawn. Hell half the fish I have caught this year have big old gashes in them from seals and gill nets but guess what they were alive and extremely healthy when I had the pleasure of catching them. Maybe if some of you guys were not so snobby and quick to push laws to restrict other anglers trying to enjoy the same sport, fly fisherman would not be viewed by the rest of the community as a bunch of self serving douche bags. It would be a lot easier to come together and have one voice for the recreational fisherman of washington and be able to actually do whats best for the fish rather than fight over how we are going to restrict each other. Just saying.
saying that fly fishermen give themselves a bad rep says to me that you care too much about what others think of you. but I would side with the fishes safety, rather than the guy fishing for photos
Take all the pictures you want with the fish out of the water. If you keep them to yourself and don't post them on the internet no one can ever criticize you for them. They also can't massage your ego so if you take pictures for your own memories or scrapbook or whatever you should be fine, but if its so people on a forum can stroke your boner then you might be bummed by the negative feedback.
If you care so much about steelhead and salmon don't fish for them. Leave them alone to do there thing. That well never happen. People only care about what serves there needs at that moment.
If you're gonna fish, then fish, if you want to eat the fish you catch, then bonk it, great, but if you intend on releasing the fish, especially the wild ones which you encounter, then do so in a manner which is the least harmful to the creature that you just had the honor of dueling with. I will never stop fishing, that is because I love to do it, its my hobby and I like to pay homage to the fish I encounter. I occasionally take pictures of them, sometimes out of the water when legal, but I do let the fish recover and breathe a little before snapping my shot, then I send it home. Is that so unreasonable to ask? you should do it because its right, not just because its law. I don't know why anyone would advocate for doing anything less.
All I am saying are that steelhead are a tough creature and can survive a little careful handling. And yes if you intend on releasing your catch steelhead or any other species take care to do it in the least impactful manor. That being said the fact that there is a law telling me how to handle my fish is retarded. Maybe just educate the fishing public better on how to handle fish prior to release instead of making laws hoping to catch someone breaking them so you can write tickets. And I don't care what anyone says recreational anglers are not the problem facing our steelhead runs. Until commercial fishing (tribal and non-tribal) along with logging entire watersheds ends the runs will never have a chance. I would be the first one to quit fishing a river if commercial fishing and logging in the area had been discontinued and the runs continued to decline but bottom line is that sport fishing is not the limiting factor on our steelhead runs. Period.
Yes steelhead are a strong resilient creature. Yes they go out to the ocean and face all kinds of hardships. But hooking a fish and playing it for several minutes while it fights for its life with every ounce of its life IS hard on it. It does exhaust the fish. This is why they calm down and get to a point where we can safely land them. This is what I was eluding to in my prior post. Sorry if anyone could not make the connection. Then after exhausting a fish you take 60 seconds to effectively cut off its breathing by removing it from the water. This will and I do mean will tax some fish to the point were they will die. Is this number 10%, 20%, more, we probably will never really know. But I personally do not want to kill something that I do not plan on eating. Just my personal belief. I am sure that the spirit of the law is to mitigate any damage that we as sport anglers are doing to an already dying species. Yes I'm sure that most of us if we did lift a fish would do so for a second or two. Good for us. Yes I am sure that there are many that would not. They would life the fish up for an extended period of time. Kick it onto the rocks. Drag it through the sand. Grab it by the gills. These are all things I have personally seen in the past year by fly and gear anglers, even with the law in place. The law just gives game wardens some teeth when they actually do see abhorrent behavior.

suggestion for a multi Temperature sensor probe
Afternoon Brothers and Sisters
I am looking for suggestion for a multi Temperature sensor probe, when at a comp I usually cook 3 butts, 2 Packers and at min 8 racks of ribs and 24 thighs, this is my basic meat quota. So I am looking for new thermometers and I am thinking a probe for each piece of meat or do ya all think this is over kill? The chicken I am not worried about or the ribs on the chicken I use an instant read and the ribs I have a probe giving me overall chamber temp. But I was hoping to find something that is (A) wireless up to 100 feet (B) read out unit can be attached to a belt or clipped to something {so securable} and can read multiple probes and separate them (i.e.) Beef -1 beef -2, Pork -1 pork 2 and ribs and if need be can be expanded even more anyone know of such a device on the market that I will not need to take a second mortgage out to get and do you think I am over thinking things AGAIN!! And need only worry about chamber temp vs. internal temp and just use an instant thermometer for temp readings. I tend to go overboard with thechie gadgets and end up selling them off or hiding them from the wife in the barn or in the trailer as backup stuff. Thanks everyone hope I did not babble to much everyone have a great Holliday of your liking RR

Personally, I think it's over kill. I cook exactly the same amount of meat for competitions. I put a probe in one of the briskets (closest to the heat) and a probe in one of the butts just as a general gauge of how things are going. I use my Thermapen when things get close because I not only want to have an accurate temperature, I also want to feel the probe slide in.
I don't use a thermometer for ribs or chicken. I go by time and appearance for the chicken and time, appearance and feel on the ribs. Sometimes too much information will only confuse you more. Especially with briskets!!! Good luck and Merry Christmas!

Three Crusaders Compete at Mt. SAC Relays
Friday, April 13, 2007 Ashley Billstrom (Hales Corners, Wis./Whitnall) posted the best finish of the three Valpo athletes competing at the prestigious Mt. SAC Relays in Walnut, Calif. Friday evening.Billstrom finished third out of a field of 14 runners in the 3,000m steeplechase, completing the course with a time of 10:56.38. The time is the fastest in the Mid-Con this season and is less than five seconds off of her own school record. Chris Honig (Glen Ellyn, Ill./Glenbard South [Indiana]) competed in the same event on the men's side, placing 12th in the 17-person field. Honig crossed the line in 9:27.46, the fourth-fastest time in the event in Crusader history. Danielle Nunnelly (Valparaiso, Ind./Valparaiso) competed in the 5,000m run, but did not finish the race. The majority of the Crusader men's and women's track and field teams will compete Saturday at the Miami Invitational in Oxford, Ohio. The first event is scheduled to begin at 8 a.m. CDT. |

"My Fair Wedding" host David Tutera is breaking up with his "husband" after a 10-year "marriage" ... and a war is brewing over the couple's unborn children ... TMZ has learned.
So why all the "quotes?"
Tutera and his longtime partner Ryan Jurica had a big wedding ceremony in Vermont back in 2003 ... but since they live in California (where gay marriage is not recognized) they filed for a domestic partnership.
But now, the relationship is OVER ... at least according to legal docs filed by David, seeking to end the domestic partnership because of "irreconcilable differences."
Here's the twist -- according to the docs, filed in L.A. County Superior Court, a surrogate is set to give birth to TWINS for the couple ... and she's due in July.
David wants full legal and physical custody of the kids ... and only wants to give Ryan visitation.
He also doesn't want to pay a nickel in spousal support, but wants Ryan to foot the bill for all legal fees related to the split.
See that's why gays shouldn't be allowed to get married and have kids! So if these twins are female how is he going to be able to teach them about when they get their periods!?! Also it is just going to cause problems for those children later in life not only living in a house hold that has one parent but only one parent that's gay! I have nothing against gay people but people really need to think this type of sh!t through!
I think Im going to have to leave TMZ. Its beginning to become a gay site. For a straight woman, that's not a good sign.
DISCUSTING! I hope the Surrogate has a CLAUSE for this sh*t and she can keep the kids herself and OUT of an ugly child PAWN WAR! Un friggin believable that they can't even wait till the babies are born. They dont deserve to be parents. They are too unstable. All the trouble this woman is doing to give this miracle. F*CKING BAS*ARDS!
Why would David want his "spouse" to pay all legal fees yet he wont give any aupport and he wants full custody of the twins...why is he the big winner in all of this while his "spouse" gets sh*t. Sounds like a typical bitch.

Abstract: The viscosity of slag and the thermal conductivity of ash deposits are among two of the most important constitutive parameters that need to be studied. The accurate formulation or representations of the (transport) properties of coal present a special challenge of modeling efforts in computational fluid dynamics applications. Studies have indicated that slag viscosity must be within a certain range of temperatures for tapping and the membrane wall to be accessible, for example, between 1,300 °C and 1,500 °C, the viscosity is approximately 25 Pa·s. As the operating temperature decreases, the slag cools and solid crystals begin to form. Since slag behaves as a non-linear fluid, we discuss the constitutive modeling of slag and the important parameters that must be studied. We propose a new constitutive model, where the stress tensor not only has a yield stress part, but it also has a viscous part with a shear rate dependency of the viscosity, along with temperature and concentration dependency, while allowing for the possibility of the normal stress effects. In Part I, we reviewed, identify and discuss the key coal ash properties and the operating conditions impacting slag behavior.

Jessica Williams
Due to her being based in northern California, Jessica Williams is a bit underrated, but (on evidence of her sets for Jazz Focus and Hep) she is one of the top jazz pianists of today. Williams is a powerful virtuoso whose complete control of the keyboard, wit, solid sense of swing, and the influence of Thelonious Monk have combined to make her a particularly notable player. She started taking piano lessons when she was four and was gigging as a teenager. Williams took extensive classical lessons but also gigged with Philly Joe Jones in Philadelphia before moving to San Francisco in 1977. She was the house pianist at Keystone Korner for a time and made a few interesting recordings (some as Jessica Jennifer Williams) during the period, sometimes utilizing electronics. Although she appeared on Charlie Rouse's final record and gigged steadily, Williams was largely off record (outside of her own private Quanta label) until re-emerging in the late '80s as a brilliant solo acoustic player. She is a giant whose many dates for Jazz Focus (five of its first ten releases feature Williams) and Hep are consistently brilliant. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi

Christine (1994) Horror Movie Review
Horror movies Review
She can't (and won't) drive 55…. Stephen King's novel about the twisted love affair between a boy and his car gets transferred to the screen, courtesy of suspense master John Carpenter. Although lacking some of the more outré supernatural elements of the source material, this high-octane cinematic tune-up more than delivers the goods, horror-wise (Christine's midnight rampages will never be forgotten)—as well as being a sly exposé of the random cruelties within the high-school pecking order. Keith Gordon (who has gone on to become a stellar director in his own right, with films such as A Midnight Clear and Mother Night to his credit) gives a wonderfully controlled central performance. Carpenter's atmospheric original score is backed up by a well-chosen collection of rock classics, including George Thorogood's "Bad to the Bone" (the titular character's all-too-apt theme song). —Andrew Wright
