No. 12 Dayton women beat Saint Joseph's 73-66
Sunday - 3/3/2013, 7:00pm  ET
DAYTON, Ohio (AP) -- Andrea Hoover scored 19 points and Samantha MacKay added 18 points and seven assists as No. 12 Dayton wrapped up its first Atlantic 10 Conference regular-season title by beating Saint Joseph's 73-66 Sunday.
The Flyers (26-1, 14-0) set a record for victories since moving to Division I in the 1985-86 season. Both teams advanced to Saturday's Atlantic 10 tournament quarterfinals, where Saint Joseph's (20-8, 11-3) will be the host and fourth seed.
A 16-4 run in the final 6 minutes of the first half gave Dayton a 37-25 halftime lead. Kelley Austria hit two 3-pointers during that run.
The Flyers led by as many as 18 points in the second half. Erin Shields and Natasha Cloud led a Saint Joseph's rally that cut it to four, but MacKay secured the win with four free throws in the final 17 seconds.
Shields scored 28 points and Cloud 17 for the Hawks.

Mr Puzzle - We've got puzzles!
Puzzles by Maker > Japanese Puzzle Boxes from Hakone Price: To open a Japanese puzzle box one or more sliding pieces hidden within the patterns on the box must be moved. Even the bottom and top panels move with this one. There are 21 separate moves or 21 steps to open this secret opening box. Just the thing if you really want a challenge. Or what a way to prolong the gift giving if the person has to find all these moves to get their present. Traditional Japanese secret opening boxes were first made in the Hakone region about the 1890's by master woodworker Ryugoro Okawa and are decorated with a veneer called yosegi zaiku marquetry. They were first made in the Hakone region of Japan as souveniers for people visiting the hot springs in the area. The very precise process of Yosegi marquetry starts with gluing different coloured woods together to form the desired pattern. Then very thin sheets called zuku are shaved with a special plane and glued on to the puzzle. Size: 4 Sun (a traditional unit of measure to denote length)

I didn't know how to title today's blog, but hope that you noticed the adjective ("fabulous") and will take a few moments to read this essay by Barbara Ehrenreich that was published in The Guardian in January of this year. If you know me, you know how I feel about the "cancer is a gift" pronouncements (I think cancer is never a gift) and the waves of pink that engulf us (hate them all). I admired and laughed my way through this and hope you do, too
Smile! You've got cancer
Cancer is not a problem or an illness - it's a gift. Or so Barbara Ehrenreich was told repeatedly after her diagnosis. But the positive thinkers are wrong, she says: sugar-coating illnesses can exact a dreadful cost
The first thing I discovered as I waded out into the relevant sites is that not everyone views the disease with horror and dread. Instead, the appropriate attitude is upbeat and even eagerly acquisitive. There is, I found, a significant market for all things breast cancer-related. You can dress in pink-beribboned sweatshirts, denim shirts, pyjamas, lingerie, aprons, shoelaces and socks; accessorise with pink rhinestone brooches, scarves, caps, earrings and bracelets; and brighten up your home with breast cancer candles, coffee mugs, wind chimes and night-lights. "Awareness" beats secrecy and stigma, of course, but I couldn't help noticing that the existential space in which a friend had earnestly advised me to "confront [my] mortality" bore a striking resemblance to a shopping centre.
This is not entirely a case of cynical merchants exploiting the sick. Some of the breast cancer accessories are made by breast cancer survivors themselves, and in most cases a portion of the sales goes to breast cancer research. It is also clear that the ultrafeminine theme of the breast cancer marketplace - the prominence, for example, of cosmetics and jewellery - could be understood as a response to the treatments' disastrous effects on one's looks. There is no doubt, though, that all the prettiness and pinkness is meant to inspire a positive outlook.

Lottery Reminds Players of Final New Orleans Saints Second-Chance Drawing Deadline
Have you sent in all your nonwinning $5 New Orleans Saints scratch-offs for the Louisiana Lottery's second-chance drawing? Your nonwinning tickets could be worth 2010 Saints season tickets!
Although the Lottery closed its $5 New Orleans Saints scratch-off game on Dec. 14, 2009, players can still enter nonwinning tickets into the final second-chance drawing until April 13, 2010. During the final drawing, one winner will be selected to win four Plaza Sideline 2010 season tickets, a 2010 parking pass, four 2010 pre-game field passes, a tour of the Saints practice facility and lunch with the Saints head coach in the team cafeteria for up to four people, an autographed Saints football and an autographed Saints helmet.
To enter the final second-chance drawing, players should complete the information on the back of nonwinning $5 New Orleans Saints scratch-off tickets and mail each ticket in an envelope no larger than 4.5" by 9.5" to the drawing address printed on the back of the ticket. The entry must arrive at the second-chance drawing address by the April 13 deadline to be entered into the fourth and final drawing. Players can enter as many times as they wish, but each entry should be mailed in a separate envelope.
The Louisiana Lottery is solely responsible for administering the game and second-chance drawings. Complete rules can be found on the Lottery's Web site.
The Lottery also wants to remind players that all prizes from $5 New Orleans Saints scratch-offs must be claimed at a licensed Lottery retailer or a Lottery office by the same April 13 deadline.
Lottery ticket purchasers and second-chance drawing entrants must be at least 21 years of age. If you or someone you know has a gambling problem, help is available by calling 1-877-770-7867. For security purposes, the Lottery encourages players to sign the back of their tickets immediately after purchasing.

The view from the kitchen |
Welcome to Show and Tell Friday! Last weekend was the 3 week anniversary of being in my new apartment. I'm still trying to get everything to fit but it's slowly coming together. I have all the extra stuff that I can't find room for piled in a corner in my bedroom.
There isn't enough room in my dining room for my china cabinet so I have it in the corner of my living room. The bad thing is, my air conditioner is directly behind that so I'm not sure how well that's going to work in the summer. I'll deal with that when the time comes!
The view from the dining room |
The very top thing on my to-do list is to repaint my coffee table! It's just shabby at this point...there is nothing chic about it! It's the first piece of furniture I ever painted. I think my daughter was 6 or 7 and now she's 21 so it's time to repaint!
As you can see in the top photo, my kitchen is very open to the living room and I'm loving that! The whole place is very open actually. There aren't any hallways, the bedrooms are directly off of the living room...it's very cozy. Even the patio is very open...it's right on the walkway to the pool, the gym, the tennis courts, the basketball court and the leasing office so there is a constant stream of people walking by. That is taking some getting used to. I'm a person that loves the blinds open but I sort of feel like I'm living in a terrarium with people walking by and looking in. I guess there a pluses and minuses with every place!
I have a funny story about these flowers. My daughter told me last week that the farmer's market in downtown Campbell had beautiful bouquets of gardenias for sale and everyone was walking around with them and they smelled so good. She works in downtown Campbell and had to go in early on Sunday morning so she said she was going to buy some gardenias this week. She came home with these. Ummm...those aren't gardenias! They are double paperwhites and although I love paperwhites they don't smell nearly as good as gardenias. They are beautiful but I find the scent of paperwhites a little very overwhelming. They are gorgeous though and I love that she brought me a bouquet! I guess my eyes override my sense of smell because I'm loving them even though I think they stink! I honestly think the double ones smell double strong! It's just too bad they don't smell like gardenias!

Comfort, confidence, and balance! You need all three of these characteristics when you step into the box to hit.
Confidence begins when you step into the box. Do it with a sense of purpose; dig your back foot in and let the opposing pitcher that you're there to battle.
Comfort and balance depend on your stance and how you prepare to hit the ball. If you're not comfortable, you won't be relaxed. When working on your stance, strive for a position that comfortably puts you in a balanced position to hit.
The first priority when getting into your stance is to make sure you have good plate coverage. Have a method for determining this for each at bat. During practice, have someone watch you take some practice swings from in front of the mound. Simulate swinging at an outside pitch. Is your bat covering the outside corner? Adjust your distance to the plate so you have the correct distance.
Create a method for measuring that distance. Many players tap the plate with their bat the same way each time they get into the box. If the bat hits the same part of the plate each time, then they know the distance is correct.
While every player wants good plate coverage, the depth you stand in the box is more a matter of preference. If you stand deep in the box (towards the catcher), you may have more time to wait on a fastball, but you may find it more difficult to hit breaking pitches. By standing forward in the box, you may be able to catch the breaking pitch early but it will be more difficult to get around on a good fastball.
What's the right position for you? Analyze your strengths and weaknesses to help you decide. But, wherever you stand make sure you feel confident in that position. Most big league hitters tend to stand toward the back of the box. You, like most of them, may find the extra time to react is important.
Most hitting coaches claim that the best stance for hitting is a square stance -- where your feet are parallel to the plate. This stance puts your body in the best position to coil, stride, and swing.
However, there are other stances and you have decide what works best for you. Try to avoid radical stances at the plate, experiment with stances that give you the ability to make a smooth coil (discussed later) to get into the launching position.
When you get into your stance, your weight should be slightly back, but not completely on the back leg. Have your hands near the top of the strike zone. Many players prefer to have their hands slightly off the back shoulder. Having your hands off your shoulder and at the top of the strike zone puts them in the best position for swinging the bat. It's very difficult for any hitter to catch up to a high fastball and hit anything but a pop fly if their hands start below the ball.

More Music? Isn't This Film's Night to Shine? by Christian Toto Feb 24, 2013 7:10 PM PT I've always been aghast at how many musical numbers an event honoring film manages to squeeze in each year That said, the just-wrapped musical numbers (Les Mis, Dreamgirls, Chicago) really brought the show back to life.

Why Argo, Lincoln beat Zero Dark Thirty's odds by Joel B. Pollak Feb 24, 2013 9:27 AM PT Presidential leadership is a prominent theme at this year's Oscars--and a lacking theme in American politics today. Three contenders for the Oscar provide an alternative: Lincoln, Argo, Zero Dark Thirty (Obama). Each was written with a view to current (Democratic) politics. Tony Kushner wrote Lincoln to support Obama's ideological push against the Reagan revolution; Argo is an attempt to rewrite history's view of the inept Jimmy Carter's conduct during the Iran hostage crisis; and Zero Dark Thirty was long suspected of being an election-year promotion for Obama (whose White House may have shared information with the filmmakers for precisely that reason). Yet only the first two are considered in the running, because Zero Dark Thirty appears to take the position that torture was necessary to obtain clues leading to Osama bin Laden.Continue reading Share This: Read more

Welcome to Pinnacle Bank, where you experience banking the way it should be.
Our story began in 1938 in Palmer, Nebraska. George Dinsdale, a farmer and cattle feeder, and some friends decided Palmer was in need of a bank, as the Great Depression had taken its toll on banking services in Palmer.
They opened State Bank Palmer, the forerunner of our banking company today known as Pinnacle Bancorp, Inc.
In the late 1950's George's sons Roy and Jack began acquiring other banks in good communities across Nebraska. Soon they were expanding into other states, Kansas, Colorado and Wyoming. Their philosophy never changed, hire good people to run good banks in good towns. This community banking philosophy continues today with each market having its own President and team that manage their market. This autonomy gives each market where there is a Pinnacle Bank an institution that is part of the community and responsive. Although each Pinnacle Bank location shares technology and standard banking practices, they serve their market and its unique needs as they see it. Local decision making, local service, with the technology, products and capabilities of a regional bank.
Pinnacle Bancorp Inc. today is a bank holding company with four charters: Pinnacle Bank Nebraska, Pinnacle Bank Wyoming, Pinnacle Bank Texas and Bank of Colorado.
So, here we are many years later continuing this philosophy. With 130 locations, in eight states, $7.6B in assets and now a third generation of Dinsdales in the business, we are proud of the Pinnacle people who will make sure you experience:
Banking the Way it Should Be!

The Swiss government is not a party to the case and as filed the brief as amicus curiae.

Unlike many other countries, Switzerland differentiates between tax fraud and tax evasion [NYT report], and tax evasion is not a crime. While this policy has not changed, by adopting the definition of tax evasion under Article 26 of the OECD Model Tax Convention [text, PDF] Switzerland will henceforward share information "with other countries in individual cases where a specific and justified request has been made." The Swiss government also made clear that by adopting the OECD definition it was not ending bank secrecy. A statement [press release] by the Federal Department of Finance on Saturday said that while the situation for non-resident foreigners has changed, the "decision will have no bearing on legally resident foreigners in Switzerland." Owners of Swiss bank accounts have traditionally enjoyed great privacy, but Swiss banks have recently released information on certain clients. Earlier in March, UBS closed more than 14,000 accounts [USA Today report] owned by US citizens following a court settlement over accusations it assisted its clients with tax evasion.
[JURIST] The Criminal Court in Liberia [JURIST news archive] on Friday acquitted former interim president Gyude Bryant [BBC profile] of embezzlement charges. The former leader was charged [JURIST report] with the embezzlement of $1.4 million during his interim presidency, which lasted from October 2003 to January 2006. The charges stemmed from an audit conducted by the Economic Community of West Africa States (ECOWAS) [official website], the organization that oversaw the interim government of Liberia following nearly 14 years of civil war [GlobalSecurity backgrounder]. Bryant was acquitted for lack of evidence, along with four others [Liberia Star Radio report] including former speaker of the House of Representatives, Edwin Snowe [BBC Backgrounder].Current Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf [BBC profile] was elected in 2005 [JURIST report] and made campaign promises to address rampant corruption in the nation. In 2007, following his arrest, Bryant's defense lawyers urged the court to block his prosecution, arguing that Bryant was entitled to presidential immunity under the Liberian constitution [text]. Government lawyers, however, successfully argued that Bryant should not be entitled to immunity [Inquirer report] because he served as a caretaker and not a democratically elected president. Bryant was appointed by regional peace brokers to head Liberia after the civil war.
[JURIST] The US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit [official website] on Friday denied a stay of deportation [order, PDF] for accused Nazi prison guard John Demjanjuk [NNDB profile; JURIST news archive]. Last month, the court granted [order, PDF; JURIST report] a stay of deportation to consider Demjanjuk's appeal of an order by the Board of Immigration Appeals that denied his emergency stay of deportation [JURIST report]. Demjanjuk faces deportation to Germany, where in March a Munich district court charged [JURIST report] him with 29,000 counts of accessory to murder for his alleged involvement at the Sobibor [Death Camps backgrounder] concentration camp. Lawyers for Demjanjuk, 89, had argued that deporting him to Germany would amount to torture. In denying Demjanjuk's request for a stay of deportation, the court reasoned:
Based on the medical information before the court and the governments representations about the conditions under which it will transport the petitioner, which include an aircraft equipped as a medical air ambulance and attendance by medical personnel, the court cannot find that the petitioners removal to Germany is likely to cause irreparable harm sufficient to warrant a stay of removal.
[JURIST] The Supreme Court of India [official website] on Friday ordered the formation of five special courts to hear cases stemming from the 2002 Gujarat riots [BBC backgrounder]. The court did not move the cases outside of Gujarat however, as the National Human Rights Commission [advocacy website] had requested [press release], instead ordering [Times of India report] that the courts be set up in the Ahmedabad, Anand, Sabarkanta, Gulbarga, and Mehsana districts. The chairman of the Special Investigation Team (SIT) said that he believes that trials will be completed within a year [Hindu report].The violence in Gujarat in 2002 began following a fire aboard a train [Times of India report], allegedly set by Indian Muslims, that killed 57 Hindu pilgrims. Following that incident, more than 1,000 people were killed [BBC report] in violence that lasted for two months. The SIT was commissioned last year to handle inquiries into the cases.
[JURIST] The Maine Senate [official website] voted 21-14 in favor of a bill [text] that would allow same-sex marriage [JURIST news archive] in the state. The vote split mainly along party lines, with only one Democrat voting against the measure. The bill will now go before the Maine House of Representatives [official website] on Tuesday, where it is expected to pass [NYT report]. The bill would then go before Governor John Baldacci, who has yet to take a public position [Bangor Daily News report] on the issue.The vote came one day after the New Hampshire Senate [official website] voted 13-11 to approve [JURIST report] a bill [HB 436 text] permitting same-sex marriage. The New Hampshire House of Representatives [official website] approved the bill [JURIST report] in March by a vote of 186-179. Last month, Vermont became the fourth state to legalize same-sex marriage, joining Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Iowa [JURIST reports].
[JURIST] The Japanese government on Thursday pledged to donate USD $4.17 million [press release, PDF] to assist the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) [official website], the tribunal set up to try former members of the Khmer Rouge [BBC backgrounder]. The funding comes at an opportune moment for the ECCC, which projected a $4.3 million dollar shortfall [budget] for 2009. According to the Japanese Embassy in Cambodia [official website], the funding is in response to a request from the Cambodian government [press release, PDF] because Japan:
strongly support[s] the role of the ECCC created by the international agreement between the Royal Government of Cambodia and the United Nations in delivering justice to the Cambodian people for the atrocities committed under the Khmer Rouge regime.
[JURIST] Justice David Souter [official profile; JURIST news archive] of the US Supreme Court [official website; JURIST news archive] will retire at the end of the 2008 term in June, according to Thursday reports [Washington Post report]. Souter has not issued a a public statement and no formal announcement has been made by the Court, but the White House was reportedly informed of Souter's decision. There has already been much speculation [Washington Post report] about President Barack Obama's possible nominees, with primarily women and minorities on the list. The last three Supreme Court appointees were white males. Obama declined to comment [AP report] on Souter's retirement Friday.Souter, 69, was nominated to the Supreme Court by then-president George H.W. Bush and was seated in October 1990. He previously served on the US Court of Appeals for the First Circuit and the New Hampshire Supreme Court. Souter was viewed as one of the more liberal justices, often siding with Justices John Paul Stevens, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Stephen Breyer.3:30 PM ET - Souter has submitted a letter of resignation [text, PDF], and the Supreme Court has issued a press release [text, DOC] confirming his resignation.
[JURIST] The Office of the US Trade Representative (USTR) [official website] on Thursday added Canada [JURIST news archive] to its Priority Watch List [text, PDF] of 12 countries that are not adequately protecting intellectual property rights [USTR press release]. In its 2009 Special 301 Report [text, PDF], the USTR also elevated Algeria and Indonesia to the list and removed South Korea. Canada has been added to the list because it "has not delivered on these commitments by promptly and effectively implementing key copyright reforms." No other Western Democracy is on the list. USTR Ambassador Ron Kirk [official profile] said:
As U.S. right holders, businesses, and workers suffer losses from international piracy, counterfeiting, and other forms of IPR theft, the Special 301 Report provides a critical policy tool for focusing on urgent problems that undermine one of Americas great strengths in the global economy our innovation and creativity. ... In this time of economic uncertainty, we need to redouble our efforts to work with all of our trading partners even our closest allies and neighbors such as Canada to enhance protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights in the context of a rules-based trading system.
[JURIST] The Brazilian Supreme Court [official website, in Portuguese] on Thursday overturned a law restricting the press [press release, in Portuguese] as unconstitutional. The court ruled 7-4 that the Press Law [Law No. 5250/67 text, in Portuguese], which was enacted in 1967 and allowed for censorship of news media, books, and other forms of communication, is incompatible with the Brazilian Constitution [text, in Portuguese]. The law was enacted while the country was under military rule [AP report] but has not been regularly enforced since the country returned to democratic rule in 1988. Thursday's ruling completely repealed [Consultor Juridico report, in Portuguese] the law.Although Brazil is South America's largest media market, in 2007, the International Press Institute [advocacy website] called Brazil [text] "one of the most dangerous countries in the Western Hemisphere in which to practice journalism" because of the threats and violence facing investigative reporters. In 2006, Reporters Without Borders [advocacy website] said that local media in Brazil experiences less press freedom [RWB report] than national media because of an "unacceptable degree of violence as well as harassment and abuse of power by local officials."
[JURIST] A bill [S.896 materials] that would have aided homeowners in foreclosure was rejected 45-51 [roll call vote] Thursday by the US Senate [official website]. The financial industry had lobbied heavily against the proposed legislation that had come to be known as the "cramdown bill" for a provision that would have allowed bankruptcy judges to modify mortgages from lenders that had not already offered better terms to their borrowers. The bill had been sponsored by Senators Christopher Dodd (D-CT), Richard Durbin (D-CT), and Charles Schumer (D-NY) [official websites], and had been touted as a way "to prevent mortgage foreclosures and enhance mortgage credit availability." After the vote, Durbin vowed to continue working to pass the legislation [statement], saying "[w]eve given the bankers who got us into this crisis every opportunity to responsibly address this crisis and they have failed. Ill keep working to give homeowners every legal means to save their homes." Among those opposing the legislation, US Senate Republican Whip Jon Kyl (R-AZ) [official website] countered [statement] that "while attempting to solve a specific problem for a particular group of people, we could end up exacerbating the situation for all the people that want to refinance or take out loans in the future."Durbin had been working on the bill for two years and had also been working intensively in negotiating to calm lenders' objections that the measure could cause mortgage rates to go up to compensate for the "cramdowns." Earlier in the week, the Obama administration announced that the Making Home Affordable [official website] plan would increase in scope to lower payments on second mortgages [official press release] by using money from the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). The $700 billion financial rescue bill [JURIST report] creating the TARP, which provides economic assistance to at-risk financial institutions, was passed in October.
[JURIST] Al Qaeda operative Ali Saleh Kahlah al-Marri [NYT profile; JURIST news archive] pleaded guilty Thursday to charges of conspiring to provide material support [18 USC § 2339B] to a foreign terrorist organization after reaching a plea agreement [text, PDF] with federal prosecutors that may send him to jail for 15 years. Prosecutors said that al-Marri, a "sleeper operative" for al Qaeda who arrived in the country on September 10, 2001, will admit to conspiring [DOJ press release] with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed [BBC profile; JURIST news archive] to plan attacks on the US. Attorney General Eric Holder [official profile] said [press release] that the al-Marri investigation and subsequent guilty plea showed that "our criminal justice system can and will hold subsequent terrorists accountable for their actions." He said that the al-Marri prosecution by a US civilian court showed that there was "no tension" between keeping "the American people safe and our civil liberties intact" and seemed to suggest that further such prosecutions are to be expected. Pursuant to the plea agreement, Al-Marri also agreed not to appeal any sentence, pursue a habeas petition or oppose his deportation to Qatar or Saudi Arabia after serving his criminal sentence. There has been speculation [SCOTUS blog report] that al-Marri may ask for credit for time served, having been held at a naval bring in South Carolina since 2003.In March, at an arraignment hearing before the US District Court for the Central District of Illinois [official website], al-Marri pleaded not guilty [JURIST report] to charges of providing material support to al Qaeda, and his trial date was set for May 26. Earlier that month, the US Supreme Court [official website] granted [order, PDF; JURIST report] a motion [text, PDF] by the US government to dismiss as moot an appeal challenging al-Marri's indefinite detention, following the Obama administration's decision to try al-Marri in US federal court [JURIST report]. Al-Marri was indicted [indictment text; DOJ press release] in February on two charges of providing material support to al Qaeda and conspiring with others to provide material support to al Qaeda. Previously, the US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit [official website] had held [JURIST report] that al-Marri could be detained indefinitely.
[JURIST] US Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton [official profiles] addressed questions [video] about the specific plans for closing the Guantanamo Bay [JURIST news archive] detention facility before the US Senate Committee on Appropriations [official website] on Thursday. Gates and Clinton presented the FY 2009 Supplemental Request, which included requests for $50 million for the Department of Defense (DOD) and $30 million for the Department of Justice (DOJ) [official websites] to facilitate Guantanamo's closure. Appropriations chairman Daniel Inouye (D-HI) [official website; opening statement, PDF] along with Senators Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Sam Brownback (R-KS) [official websites] raised questions about the specifics of the Guantanamo plan. The additional $30 million for the DOJ will supplement the review of all the detainee files to determine which of about 250 detainees can be transferred to other countries, and which can be tried in an Article III court, or in a military commission. Gates indicated that 50-100 detainees may not be able to be cleared for release. Gates also conceded there is not yet a specific plan for the DOD funds, saying the "plug in the budget for $50 million [is] a hedge that would allow us to get started if some construction is needed to accommodate those detainees." The US is still considering accepting some of the cleared detainees [JURIST report], like the Uighurs [JURIST news archive], to demonstrate to other countries whom the US is petitioning for assistance that they present no real danger. Many communities, such as Kansas, have already expressed strong opposition to receiving any of the detainees. Clinton added that the Department of State (DOS) [official website] is working intensively with other countries to "try to convince them to take back some of their own nationalities' detainees, and perhaps others" but that the numbers will be contingent on the DOJ review.Earlier this week, US Attorney General Eric Holder [official profile] said that the US has cleared 30 Guantanamo Bay detainees for release and will begin formally requesting [JURIST report] that European countries accept them within weeks. In March, top officials from the Obama administration met with leaders from the European Union (EU) [official website] to discuss preliminary plans to transfer [JURIST report] Guantanamo Bay detainees to European countries. Individual member states have also indicated their openness to accepting detainees, including Lithuania, Ireland, Germany, and Portugal [JURIST reports]. Other states have expressed reservations about accepting detainees, including Poland and Spain, while Italy [JURIST reports] and the Netherlands [AFP report] have said they will not accept detainees.

We'll chalk up the buttered-noodle hair and chain wallet to the fact that this pic is from 1998. (And yes, we'd totally let 1998 JT take us to see Titanic and hold hands in the back of the theater.)
