Sri Lanka stops 83 on two Aust-bound boats
Mon August 20, 2012 10:30pm
SRI Lanka's navy has stopped two Australia-bound trawlers carrying 83 would-be asylum seekers, in the first detection since Canberra tightened restrictions on boat people.
Navy officials said the two craft were found on Monday off the island's northeastern port of Trincomalee, with two women and four children among those on board.
"The trawlers were detected 15 miles (24 kilometres) off the coast," a spokesman said. "The 83 people aboard have been handed over to the police."
The detection was the first since Australia's parliament last week decided to send asylum-seekers arriving by boat to holding centres on Nauru and Papua New Guinea's Manus Island before considering their application for refugee status.
Sri Lankan authorities say they have arrested nearly 900 people who have tried to leave for Australia illegally this year.
Australia hopes the prospect of years in detention on remote Pacific islands will deter asylum seekers from attempting the dangerous sea voyage, which has cost hundreds of lives over the past decade.
Sri Lankans pay up to $A3000 for a place on trawlers run by people smugglers who promise to take them to Australia in about two weeks.

Chula Vista, Arizona - The family of 32-year old Valeria "Monique" Alvarado, also known as Valeria Tachiquin, is infuriated by the loss of their family member due to a shooting by a Border Patrol Agent whose name is being withheld during the incident investigation by Border Patrol Officials, according to CBP Chief Patrol Agent Rodney Scott. Chula Vista Officials confirm Border Patrol Agents were in the area around 1 p. m. serving a felony warrant when Alvarado intentionally struck one of the agents. Alvarado was not the subject of the warrant.
Family members of Alvarado, a mother of five children, maintain she would never intentionally hurt anyone. Gilberto Alvarado, the husband, believes the agent overreacted. "My wife got killed for no reason," he told NBC 7 Friday night. "Show me that my wife had a gun or something that threatened the guy's life where he had to use lethal force against her."
According to Scott, the agent was struck and carried on the hood of Alvarado's vehicle, which continually failed to stop. After several hundred yards, the Agent opened fire on Alvarado, killing her in the driver's seat. "The suspect was armed with a vehicle, and literally ran our agent down," said Scott.
One witness, Prince Watson, recalled: "As the car was backing up, the officer was in the street walking toward the car, and discharging." Other witnesses believe Alvarado may have accidentally struck the agent and panicked when he told her to stop and drew his weapon. The say the agent was in plain clothes and did not display a badge.
Though the facts of the situation are still being gathered, the pain is very real for Gilberto and his family. "Whoever shot my wife -- whoever he is -- that guy needs to get shot," he said. The Southern Border Communities Coalition stands behind the family and vows to make sure the investigation is conducted in a transparent manner, and justice is served. Alvarado's criminal history only includes one court case from 2004 involving drug possession, but she never served jail time for it, and has been clean ever since.

In a game that was delayed twice due to power outages at Candlestick Park, the Pittsburgh Steelers played like a team that forgot to plug in its offense. The San Francisco 49ers, meanwhile, played mistake-free football, settling for a pair of field goals in the first half before putting the game out of reach in the second with touchdowns by Vernon Davis and Frank Gore, ultimately winning 20-3.
Ben Roethlisberger started and played the entire game for the Steelers despite clearly being limited by an injured left ankle. He favored his foot the entire night and never look comfortable planting to make his throws, which likely contributed to his three interceptions -- including one in the end zone. The fact he finished the game with 330 passing yards is a testament to his arm strength as well as Mike Tomlin's head-scratching decision to throw the ball 45 times while giving Pittsburgh's running backs just 18 carries.
Pittsburgh's medical staff must have felt that Roethlisberger couldn't injure his ankle any more by playing on it, as he stayed in the game until the bitter end, even when his team trailed by three scores with just five minutes left to play.
At his best, Big Ben is a mobile quarterback capable of making big plays while rolling out of the pocket. We saw none of that on Monday, as Roethlisberger was sacked three times, fumbling the ball once. He was a statue in the pocket, and 49ers rookie linebacker Aldon Smith took advantage with 2.5 sacks. Smith has 13.0 sacks on the season, breaking Charles Haley's franchise rookie record.
Kicker David Akers also broke a 49ers' franchise record, topping Jerry Rice's single-season scoring record in the first half. He added a pair of extra-point kicks in the second half, giving him 143 points on the year, eclipsing Rice's mark of 138 set in 1987.
Alex Smith completed 18-of-31 passes for 187 yards for the 49ers, finding Davis in the end zone in the third quarter for the game's first touchdown. Davis finished the game with six catches for 72 yards. Gore carried the ball 18 times for 65 yards, scoring his touchdown in the final frame.
Despite looking stiff all night long, Roethlisberger was able to connect on a handful of long passes, which padded his passing total and kept the Steelers in the game up until the final quarter. He hooked up with Mike Wallace (five catches, 66 yards), Heath Miller (five catches, 82 yards) and Jericho Cotchery (five catches, 93 yards) for receptions that all went longer than 35 yards, though many of those yards came after the catch. Antonio Brown added five catches for 59 yards.
The biggest story of the game, though, was the two power outages. The first one happened before the game started, delaying kickoff by at least 20 minutes. The second occurred during a commercial break just a few minutes into the second quarter, delaying the game another 15 minutes. Minutes after the game ended as players were leaving the field, another bank of stadium lights turned off, though it's not known if that was on purpose or the result of another outage. Had another outage occurred during the game, it's at least possible the NFL would have suspended play until Tuesday.

"I really loved this card. I opted for using white text on an "ocean/beach colored" image and it is beautiful. The white could be a tad hard to read for some but it is very soft and pretty!"
"I love this card! First, the weight of the paper is substantial which makes it feel lush. Second, the gilding is subtle in an antiqued gold. And, finally, I loved the simplicity and beauty of the fonts. The card overall feels expensive and understated."
"The design of this card is outstanding! I absolutely love the fading of our picture with the pinecone design. We used the red colour and it turned out beautiful. The gold is not sparkly, but yet still looks great and elegant. The paper is very thick and holds great on a table. I did not use the Pearl White Shimmer paper, but perhaps have should…"

Ever since humans began to gaze at the sky, they have wondered how the world began. Traditional religion and modern science offer different explanations about the origin of the cosmos.
In this symposium we bring together four prominent teachers: Swami Medhananda (a senior monk at the Kailash Ashram in Rajasthan, India), Dr. Howard Smith (an astrophysicist from Harvard University), Heng Sure (a Buddhist monk and director of the Berkeley Buddhist Monastery), and Prof. Daniel Matt (a respected authority on Kabbalah).
During successive evening satsangs, each presenter will offer his understanding of the origin of the universe. Over the course of the symposium, there will also be dialogue and discussion between the presenters and an opportunity for all those participating to pose questions.

This web page is a resource to help centers, groups and members plan Children's Day activities for their families and local communities. A special booklet of Children's Day songs and stories is available at Shambhala Media. Click here to see more about Children's Day Songs & Stories
Over the years, the Shambhala community has adopted a tradition of celebrating the changes of season. These special days of celebration are called nyida days - from nyima ("sun") and dawa ("moon"). Nyida days occur on or near the days of the spring and autumn equinoxes and the summer and winter solstices.
Children's Day falls on December 21st, the time of the winter solstice (in the northern hemisphere.) While all four nyida days are regarded as family-oriented occasions, Children's Day provides a special opportunity to express appreciation for and with our children. Because the solstice marks the time of year when the night is longest and daylight has waned, light is a special characteristic of this holiday.
Celebration of the winter solstice has its roots in many different cultures. The Shambhala Community has drawn on traditional images associated with this time of year to create a distinctive and rich festival of our own.
At the heart of the Children's Day festivities is the shrine, the representation of the dignity of the family, the joy and creativity of the youthful heart, and the celebration of the senses. Dharma centers and individual families are encouraged to create a Children's Day shrine. The shrine can become the main focal point for indoor play for days or weeks. Decorating the shrine is a family project, with special contributions from the children. This is their time to join heaven and earth. Here are a few suggestions for creating a shrine:
Flowers, music, and candy set the tone for a festive gathering of the Shambhala community. An emphasis on inviting all the sangha is important. It should probably not last more than an hour. Here are some suggestions for this event:
In some Shambhala communities Children's Day is celebrated over two days. One day focuses on the Children's Day ceremonies, and a second day-known as Family Day is spent at home, with family members or with deleks.
On the morning of Family Day, children open gifts left in front of the Children's shrine. The family enjoys this day together. In larger sanghas, the deleks could organize parties. They might enjoy sharing Shambhala songs and special stories around the shrine. There can be a feast at home or by delek, to which friends are generously invited. This could be a day for all sangha members, not just those with children.
(The Unconquered Sun first appeared as an article by Janet Shotwell in the Karma Dzong Banner)
At the Winter Solstice, we celebrate Children's Day to honour our children and to bring warmth, light and cheerfulness into the dark time of the year. Holidays such as this have their origin as "holy days". They are the way human beings mark the sacred times in the yearly cycle of life.
In the northern latitudes, midwinter's day has been an important time for celebration throughout the ages. On this shortest day of the year, the sun is at its lowest and weakest, a pivot point from which the light will grow stronger and brighter. This is the turning point of the year. The Romans called it Dies Natalis Invicti Solis, the Birthday of the Unconquered Sun.
The Roman midwinter holiday, Saturnalia, was both a gigantic fair and a festival of the home. Riotous merry-making took place, and the halls of houses were decked with boughs of laurel and evergreen trees. Lamps were kept burning to ward off the spirits of darkness. Schools were closed, the army rested, and no criminals were executed. Friends visited one another, bringing good-luck gifts of fruit, cakes, candles, dolls, jewelry, and incense. Temples were decorated with evergreens symbolizing life's continuity, and processions of people with masked or blackened faces and fantastic hats danced through the streets.
The custom of mummers visiting their neighbors in costume, which is still alive in Newfoundland, is descended from these masked processions.
Roman masters feasted with slaves, who were given the freedom to do and say what they liked (the medieval custom of all the inhabitants of the manor, including servants and lords alike, sitting down together for a great Christmas feast, came from this tradition). A Mock King was appointed to take charge of the revels (the Lord of Misrule of medieval Christmas festivities had his origin here).
In pagan Scandinavia the winter festival was the yule (or juul). Great yule logs were burned, and people drank mead around the bonfires listening to minstrel-poets singing ancient legends. It was believed that the yule log had the magical effect of helping the sun to shine more brightly.
Mistletoe, which was sacred because it mysteriously grew on the most sacred tree, the oak, was ceremoniously cut and a spray given to each family, to be hung in the doorways as good luck. The Celtic Druids also regarded mistletoe as sacred. Druid priests cut it from the tree on which it grew with a golden sickle and handed it to the people, calling it All-Heal. To hang it over a doorway or in a room was to offer goodwill to visitors. Kissing under the mistletoe was a pledge of friendship. Mistletoe is still forbidden in most Christian churches because of its Pagan associations, but it has continued to have a special place in home celebrations.
In the third century various dates, from December to April, were celebrated by Christians as Christmas. January 6 was the most favored day because it was thought to be Jesus' baptismal day (in the Greek Orthodox Church this continues to be the day to celebrate Christmas). Around 350, December 25 was adopted in Rome and gradually almost the entire Christian Church agreed to that date, which coincided with Winter Solstice, the Yule and the Saturnalia. The merry side of Saturnalia was adopted to the observance of Christmas. By 1100 Christmas was the peak celebration of the year for all of Europe. During the 16th century, under the influence of the Reformation, many of the old customs were suppressed and the Church forbade processions, colourful ceremonies, and plays.
In 1647 in England, Parliament passed a law abolishing Christmas altogether. When Charles II came to the throne, many of the customs were revived, but the feasting and merrymaking were now more worldly than religious.
Here in Nova Scotia outdoor coloured lights play an important part in the local celebration of the mid-winter season. With the day turning to darkness so early in the North, it is cheering to look out into the cold and dark at lights sparkling and glittering in the crisp air.
Our celebration of Children's Day is inspired not only by the pagan celebrations of mid-winter but arises also out of the Japanese holidays of Boy's Day and Doll's Day, which are two separate days in the spring, when boys and girls of a certain age are presented to the temple and honored with special gifts. The Shambhala Children's Shrine is modeled after the display of ancestral dolls traditional in homes on Doll's Day.
Our sangha is our village, our clan, our family. Our children belong to all of us, and are bright
reminders of the future of Buddhism. We celebrate them and the Great Eastern Sun together at the darkest
time of the year, with open-hearth parties and cheerful festivities.

World Series of Fighting has come a long way in a short time. With only three events under their belt, they have already secured a television deal and are snapping up some of the best talent around, both known and fresh faces. Among that fresh faced talent is a 25 year old hailing from Brazil named Marlon Moraes. He's been quietly rolling through his opponents, and late last year, put a stamp on his arrival with a big victory over former WEC superstar bantamweight, Miguel Torres. He went on shortly after that, to score a big, headkick knockout over Tyson Nam.
Now, he's slated to take on another tough guy, Brandon Hempleman, a relative unknown who's also been mowing down his competition. My co-host, Iain Kidd and I recently sat down with Moraes in a quick interview for MMA Sentinel and our readers here at Bloody Elbow. Moraes discussed his opponent, his finances, the importance of learning English and several other topics. Here's what he had to say:
Training with Frankie Edgar & Ricardo Almeida
I'm learning a lot. I'm getting a lot of advice from them, and I'm just really happy with my training camp, the guys I'm training with and everything.
When I was like 8 years old, I was at home watching Ricardo fighting in the UFC, fighting with a lot of tough guys, and beating guys. He was always bringing a show to the UFC. He's a great grappler and a great coach.
I'm working a lot on my boxing, wrestling and kickboxing. I think in mixed martial arts you've got to be ready wherever the fight goes. You can't just work on one area. At some point, somebody is going to take you down, or you won't be able to take them down, so you've got to be ready in all areas.
Edson Barboza
Edson has been my training partner since I was 9 years old. We have been together for 16 years. We are like brothers. He came to the US and started to train and fight here, then after a couple of years he brought me here, and helped me a lot.
He's a tough guy, a great training partner and a great friend. Hopefully the UFC give him a top 10 guy now, he's ready for the opportunity. I'm really happy at this point, because he's fighting in the UFC, I'm fighting in the World Series of Fighting and we are both improving our careers.
Choosing MMA Over Muay Thai
MMA is growing so fast, but not many people are watching kickboxing and Muay Thai anymore. I'm still hoping for some chance to fight in a kickboxing tournament in the future. I would like to fight the way some guys, like Tyrone Spong, do, and take some kickboxing fights outside of the organisation. If I had that chance, I would take it. I love to fight in kickboxing bouts.
Financial Situation
I'm still fighting and teaching. It's hard, man. It's hard for us at the beginning of our career to just survive on purse money.
Learning English
I'm trying to learn. I know it's very important to learn your culture. For me, it's a pleasure being in another country and learning a new culture. I went to school in Brazil, and I always loved to learn about history and stuff. Here in America, I'm trying to do my best, because I'm in your country, I've got to learn to speak your language.
It's more emotional after the fights to hear from us [instead of translators]. Fans want to hear from us, they want to know what we are feeling after the fight, because sometimes when it comes from another person, it doesn't sound quite the same.
DD: Have you learned the curse words yet?
[Laughs] No, no ... Only a little bit. Frankie Edgar and all those guys are teaching me a little bit. [Laughs again]
Upcoming Fight Against Brandon Hempleman
I feel good, everything went awesome in this training camp, and I can't wait until August 10th. I work as hard as possible, and I want to go out there and give my best, for myself. I want to fight for myself, you know?
My opponent is a great fighter, he's beat a lot of tough guys. He's on a roll, and his record is good. I don't choose my fights. Whoever they want me to fight, I'm going to say yes. I'm going to fight. It doesn't matter against who. I'm going to train hard, go out there, and give my best.

Shaman, the path is laid before you. Your destiny is to become a god! But it will not be easy. Not for you, and not for your followers. To become a deity, you must conquer all 25 planets of the system and defeat every other tribe and their shamans. The ultimate struggle will be a difficult one, as you build mystical cities, unleash devastating spells, harness volcanoes and tornadoes, and shape the face of the planet at your will. Remember, your apotheosis awaits!
In the third part of the Populous series, you control your shaman and the tribe of her followers in a difficult quest to conquer all 25 planets of a star system and ascend to godhood. For the first time in the series, the world is presented in true 3d, which at the time amazed both the players and the gaming press.The level of control you exert over your followers also takes you to a new level: you can order individuals or groups to perform certain tasks like gathering resources, constructing buildings, or attacking your enemies.
Populous: The Beginning takes a slightly different approach from the previous installments of the series but this is not, by any means, a bad thing as it kept the series fresh and innovative. It was a bold move for Bullfrog but the proof exists in the fact that, after all these years Populous 3 is still a great strategy god-game.
Compatibility notice: Newer AMD cards (7XXX, 8XXX, and the Radeon R series) are not supported.
ATI/AMD compatibility notice: Populous: The Beginning requires graphic card drivers version 13.4 or older.
Age requirements: ESRB Rating: TEEN with Animated Violence.
Minimum system requirements: Windows XP or Windows Vista, 1.8 GHz Processor, 512MB RAM (1 GB recommended), 3D graphics card compatible with DirectX 7 (compatible with DirectX 9 recommended), 2GB HDD, Mouse, Keyboard.

This game is, without a doubt, my favourite game ever. When I was little, this was THE first pc game I ever played; I was given it by my cousin, who found it boring, but I loved it. Working your way from level to level, finding new and ingenious ways of winning- and some of these levels were particularly difficult or tricky, requiring good timing, or management, to complete (levelread more 16, I'm looking at you). With all kinds of fun powers, from the regular ones like a basic bolt, to the extremely fun to use- volcanoes and angels of death- this game as a pleasure to play.
The visuals were bright, and fun; the sounds were great (especially the names of each spell!), and the gameplay was so, so addictive- five more minutes gameplay at it's finest!
If you don't play this game, you're missing out on one of the (in my opinion) best experiences ever.

This was the first pc game I played that made me go "WOW" and inspired me.
Everything I do as a game developer, I wholly attribute to this game. This is the game that made me want to make games for a living. :)
Buy it, play it. love it. It's the best strategy game ever, the sense of power and emergent gameplay from spell use is just amazing. You can't go wrong with Populous..

This was an *Instabuy* for me. You are a god who has a Shaman on the planet you are taking over. You use this Shaman to control your population and fight opposing tribes (and their gods) in order to take over and rule the planet.
The game play is great. The difficulty is just right and, as you'd expect from Bullfrog, the attention to detail is excellent! You'll get plenty ofread more hours of fun. Just hope that GOG get their act together and release the 'Undiscovered Worlds' expansion soon.

I agree with you - and many experts have answered the questions here and elsewhere before, so using the search is much faster and better than expecting them to either type it out again or someone sends you yet another link to something you could have found yourself.
Personally, I find all these stupid links as answers one of the biggest problems because it kills the search...
So if all of us who answer questions as well as when we ask them try to discipline ourselves to good quality, then it will be double-best!
everything stays point hunting basic questions.strict action must be taken
person answering thread must look for warnings provided by earlier members

Best Scenic Design of a Play went to Bob Crowley and Scott Pask, with Best Costume Design of a Play to Catherine Zuber, and Best Lighting Design of a Play to the lighting trio that lit a part each of the trilogy: Brian MacDevitt, Kenneth Posner, and Natasha Katz. If there were a Tony for projection design, perhaps designer William Cusick would have one also. In his review for The New York Times, Ben Brantley said, "...as directed by Jack O'Brien and acted and designed by a stellar team of artisans, Utopia is a major work of theatrical craftsmanship, a luscious advertisement for the singular narrative seductiveness of drama."

Fantastic villa in a very nice quiet surrounding.
Probably the best Villa we have ever stayed in, the pictures don't do the rooms justice. The level of cleanliness couldn't be faulted, and the storage room for clothes and luggage is huge. Everything you will need for your stay is supplied in the property, all the information you need to getting to the property , then getting into it and what to do whilst there , up to when you leave is provided before you arrive and is perfectly understandable. The Villa itself is situated just 15-20 minutes from Disney just a short drive to the I4 to connect you to all the surrounding attractions. The Publix supermarket is only 5 minutes away to gather all your vacation supplies. The area the Villa is in is a lovely quiet estate which is perfect for your wind down after a long day, the rural views from the pool deck are a nice bonus, with the local wildlife on view. The owners were very easy to deal with and all the financial transactions were as smooth as could be hoped, James called us on several occasions to ensure we had everything we needed and made sure we knew he was available if we needed anything or had any problems. When we return to Orlando again we won't hesitate to book this place up again, definitely a home from home. Just a little heads up, we stayed for 12 days in the first week of April and didn't think we would need the pool heat, but after a couple of days we realised it was needed, and we were so glad we did, the difference was incredible, again we just let James and Mindy know and it was sorted straight away. Thanks for a great stay Jamie, Sammy & Abi
A home away from home!
Stayed at this rental house the week after Christmas 2013. We had two families with five children between us. There was plenty of room for all of us. The kids loved having their own rooms - especially the older boys to get away from the three girls 5 and under. The kids loved the heated pool, especially after a long day of walking around Disney. Even when the temps dropped into the 40s, the pool felt great. The house is very close to the Disney parks. There is also a grocery store, CVS and restaurants within a 5 minute drive on the way to the parks. Working with Anne was a pleasure. Will definitely recommend this property to friends and family.

Heading to the polls to vote on whether to build a Sioux Falls event center is only a week and a day away.
And all week long we're bringing you stories from other cities around our area that already have events centers in place.
We start in Fargo which is the biggest city in North Dakota.
More than 105,000 people live in Fargo. Compared to Sioux Falls, we are also the biggest city in the state but we are larger than Fargo. About 48,000 more people.
More than 153,000 people live in Sioux Falls and in the metropolitan area, the population reaches more than 228,000.
Now let's take you to the FARGODOME which sits on the North Dakota State University's campus.
We begin our team coverage as we show you how it's been a positive investment for that city and what advice Fargo leaders have for us.
Whether it's a concert that can hold up to 27,000 people or a Bison football game that could handle just under 20,000 people, the FARGODOME has turned a profit every year since it opened its doors in 1992.
"We never lost money so it has been a success for us," Mayor Dennis Walaker said.
Fargo's Mayor Dennis Walaker tells us before the dome was built it went to a public vote, passing by 65%.
"It's very hard to find anyone who speaks against the Dome anymore because not only is the Dome paid for today, it basically, 20 years of every year having a profit," Walaker said.
The FARGODOME was paid off with a half-cent sales tax three years ago. Taxpayers approved the tax when they went to the polls back in the late 1980's. They've been taxed for the past 20 years on most purchases.
We sat down with Kent Costin, Fargo's Director of Finance.
"In our case there was more sales tax that we had initially envisioned," Costin said.
Which means their reserve fund tops more than $30 million dollars for the FARGODOME.
"And as a result we had the ability to add on to the facility and have added on once," Costin said.
The city-owned facility is managed by Global Spectrum, the same group that manages the Sioux Falls Convention Center. It was built in the early 1990's for $50 million. Costin says now, it's worth $150 million.
Pictures show the progress from the start of construction to the finished project and even the first concert.
"It's a market that can sell tickets. It's a little bit out of the way market but some artists look at a unique opportunity to go where they can play in Fargo to get in all 50 states in," FARGODOME General Manager Rob Sobolik said.
Unique artists like Elton John. the Rolling Stones and even Billy Joel, bring people into the Dome which in turn, as FARGODOME General Manager Rob Sobolik explains makes the city money.
"In the first 10 years it was about a $320 million economic impact so it's a significant impact," Sobolik said.
And over the past three years, those numbers haven't changed much.The FARGODOME continues to operate in the black with revenues of more than $96,000 in 2008. In 2009, almost $113,000 and last year, almost $145,000.
"So is it important to operate as profitable as possible? Absolutely, 100%. And that is a charge that needs to be taken very seriously by all involved," Sobolik said.
Sobolik says that should be Sioux Falls' goal as well, if an events center gets built.
"Understanding what intention or the mission is to bring all types of events to Sioux Falls and to just enhance the great quality of life that exists in Sioux Falls now," Sobolik said.
And he thinks the whole city could benefit.
"A lot of people eating in restaurants, local shopping at the mall and other stores and staying in hotel rooms and making a weekend out of it as well enhances the quality of life," Sobolik said.
And that's something Fargo's mayor agrees with too.
"I think it would be really good for Sioux Falls, I really do. Dragging people into town benefits everybody," Walaker said.
And that could bring in millions to Sioux Falls like the Dome continues to profit the City of Fargo.
Because of the FARGODOME's reserve fund from the taxes collected, crews have upgraded the facility numerous times. Some of those projects include a new lobby and a new roof. Crews also replaced the lighting and upgraded the sound system. Next year, they plan to put in new turf.
We will continue to bring you stories all week from Omaha, Grand Forks and Sioux City.

A 4th grade class was under the impression that camera crews were in their classroom to work on a documentary.
Secretly down the hall, a U.S. Airman was planning an emotional surprise.
Ashlyn Altobello hasn't seen her dad in 9 months, a U.S. air force pilot now back from his 2nd deployment in the Middle East.
"Well I'm gonna do my best to look cool," U.S. Airman Richard Altobello said.
The teacher tells Ashlyn that there is a package for her at the school. It's her father with a big bear hug, tears, and flowers.
"I'm very excited and very happy," Ashlyn said. "I know it's important, very important to the USA and my dad just has to go when he has to go."
"Seeing the range of emotions on her face go from surprise to happy to crying all in about a third of a second…priceless. Something I'll remember for the rest of my life," Richard said.
For now while the dad and daughter make good on an early dismissal from school we have to agree the term, priceless is more than fitting. It's also worth another look.

Oklahoma State and Texas A&M were, by all accounts, likely to stage a shootout in College Station. But only the Aggies have put a big number on the scoreboard so far.
Texas A&M quarterback Ryan Tannehill kept the ball on a read option and dashed 65 yards to open the scoring for the Aggies, and the two teams have since traded field goals to make the score 10-3 in A&M's favor near the end of the first quarter.
Neither team has had much luck stopping the other. Texas A&M has 153 yards of total offense, and Oklahoma State has crossed the century mark in yardage, too.

The South Sudanese government issued a formal complaint to the Foreign Ministry
this week, asking Israel not to refer to the repatriation of their citizens as
"deportations" and to refrain from photographing their expulsion from the
country, an official at the ministry confirmed on Thursday.
The official
said Juba requested that such steps be taken "in order to preserve the dignity
of the South Sudanese" going through deportation, adding that the complaint was
not about the repatriation itself.
The official said that the complaint
was based on "the process rather than the substance of the deportations," and
said that it is in keeping with statements by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu,
who has stressed the need for the deportations to be carried out with
The first round of deportations took place on June 17, when
123 South Sudanese were deported on a midnight flight to Juba. The deportations
were highly publicized and photographed, with dozens of cameramen stationed at
Ben-Gurion Airport. Interior Minister Eli Yishai stood in front of the South
Sudanese families in the departure hall while the South Sudanese were being
processed and gave a press conference where he vowed to work to rid Israel of
all of the more than 65,000 illegal African migrants living in the country. He
also posed for pictures arm in arm with South Sudanese deportees.
Thursday, Yishai announced that migrants from the Ivory Coast will have two
weeks to leave Israel voluntarily or be deported.
"Infiltrators, starting
now, will be thrown directly into jail," he said, adding that "the Eritrean and
Sudanese migrants will all eventually be thrown out of the country.
have two weeks to leave. Whoever does so will be eligible for a subsidy. Whoever
does not will be thrown out."
The interior minister also repeated a
statement he has made in the past that the situation in Eritrea, a dictatorship
where the UN says human rights abuses are widespread, is safer than in the
western Negev town of Sderot, which is often the target of Gazan rocket
Yishai added that Israeli officials are in contact with
counterparts in Sudan and Eritrea to organize the deportation of
The number of Ivorians in Israel is estimated to be between a
few hundred and 2,000.
The Interior Ministry has said that any migrant
who leaves of his or her own accord will receive $500 per adult and $100 per
child. Those who do not will be incarcerated and deported.
During the
deportation of South Sudanese earlier this month, the ministry offered the
adults $1,300 each and $500 per child as compensation for leaving voluntarily.
The ministry spokesman clarified that the discrepancy between the two offers was
unimportant and that it was not obligated to offer any money at
"This is an important step to returning the migrants to their home
countries," Yishai said. "It also will help return a feeling of security to
[Israeli] residents."
Netanyahu met visiting Ivory Coast President
Alassane Ouattara on June 18, and they agreed on a plan to repatriate Ivorians
who arrived in Israel without permission.
Until the middle of last year
it was impossible to deport Ivorians because the country was in the throes of
civil violence; that situation has changed since Ouattara came to power in
Now, according to diplomatic officials, Ouattara's government is
interested in its citizens returning from various locations around the world
because it will signal that stability has returned to the country.
arrested Ivorians in the past, but not on scale that arrests of South Sudanese
have been carried out recently.
The Jerusalem District Court on Sunday
rejected a petition against the deportation of Ivorians.
Also this week,
the Population, Immigration and Border Authority announced that while it had
deported 280 South Sudanese so far this month, 800 African migrants had crossed
into Israel illegally from Egypt. PIBA added that because the "Infiltrators Law"
went into effect earlier this month, all 800 have been jailed.Herb
Keinon contributed to this report.
