swordofheart Bangkok, Thailand
Akkara Naktamna was born in Bangkok, Thailand in 1979. He started to photograph from travelling and found that we might don't photograph just in a holiday or celebrate events because we can photograph everyday, everywhere, by Street Photography. Akkara believes that street photography is not just about human or life picture but it is everything which happens and relates to the social and public. Street photography can be a human or unhuman, on the street, in the sea or in the sky. We cannot defined it as long as you would look in the picture's detail. Now Akkara works in Bangkok and shoots everything that can be street photography. Thai Street Photographer Akkara Naktamna

Mary and John, The Early Years is a trilogy. It is a biographical and historical story of two lives from very different backgrounds that began on separate continents, of two hearts that came together at a time when a world at war threatened to tear them apart and of the family and friends who are intimately woven into the fabric of their enduring relationship.
Volume 3 – It is 1942 in the midst of World War II. John and Les Fusiliers Mont-Royal embark on the Dieppe raid and he is taken prisoner. The young lovers are separated by war for three years. They live their lives apart, enduring many hardships, not knowing if they'll ever see each other again. The years go by but their love remains strong, the war tugging at their hearts until the day when they are destined to meet again.

MEMPHIS, TN (WMC-TV) - A Memphis organization is set to launch a plan designed to empower girls and reduce teen pregnancy. The group 'Girls Incorporated' will soon zero-in on the Frayser community, where the teen pregnancy rate has reached shocking proportions.
"The teen pregnancy rate in Frayser is 26 percent," Girls Incorporated's president, Debra Hester, said Friday.
Next week, Hester's group will debut a massive media and educational campaign called 'No Baby!' The campaign includes a website, NoBaby.org, that tries to give girls the tools need to resist peer pressure to have sex.
"To empower them to learn how to say no," Hester said.
The candid campaign, which was paid for by anonymous donors, will kick off on January 20 with a series of billboards designed to attract attention of its core audience.
"'Can we do it without a condom? No Baby. Can we do it just a little? No Baby.' I mean, the campaign, obviously, is just a series of very bold questions," Hester said.
But a media blitz alone won't change behavior. At NoBaby.org, teens are notified about educational events, and invited to share their experiences.
Hester presented the program to Memphis City Schools board members Thursday. Afterwards, Superintendent Kriner Cash pointed out the males' role in this growing problem.
"Too often in Memphis it's not the peer group," he said. "There are older males who are predators on these young females."
Girls Inc. is partnering with LeBonhuer Children's Hospital, which will offer pregnancy prevention programs to boys - the other contributing force in a community problem reaching epidemic proportions.

By SUSAN TOBIAS Press-Republican
---- — PLATTSBURGH — Dominique Hoffman wakes up each day happy to be alive, but the thought that she has Stage 3 inoperable lung cancer is always with her.
The mother of two children, Justin Sanger, 22, and Sacha Sanger, 24, she is also stepmother to Brittany Hoffman, 22, Timmy Hoffman, 20, and Jesse Hoffman, 19.
"I love them all," said Dominique, who is 43. "It makes me feel happy to have them around."
Justin, however, is stationed at Camp Pendleton in California. He and his wife, Merritt, are expecting their first child — and Dominique's first grandchild — in July.
Dominique had planned to be there for Eero Demotte Sanger's birth, but those plans had to be changed due to a recent setback in her health.
Doctors have told her a 4,000-mile trip to California is not possible in her condition.
Dominique's health challenges began in September 2011, when she was working in the cold room at a local food mail-order business.
"I hadn't been feeling well — my shoulders and back ached. But I thought it was just the cold affecting me," she said at the Plattsburgh home she shares with her sister Renee Gauthier.
"It got so bad, I had to go to the ER, and when they said they needed to do more tests, I knew something wasn't right."
The Emergency Department doctor called Renee and told her that Dominique shouldn't be alone there — another of their sisters, Margeau Ashline, was fighting lung cancer, and Dominique feared the worst.
"As soon as I walked in, I knew it wasn't good," Renee said, fighting the tears. "I thought, 'Here we go again.'"
After an MRI, Dominique was told she had a lung tumor that was inoperable because it is against the aorta of her heart. She traveled to Sloan Kettering in New York City, hoping the diagnosis would be better.
It wasn't.
Back in Plattsburgh, chemotherapy and radiation shrank the tumor, but it didn't go away.
"I am very happy with the (FitzPatrick) Cancer Center at CVPH," she said. "They have taken such good care of me and become like family."
After her diagnosis, Dominique pushed Renee, 49, and her other sisters, Giselle Acors, 45, and Michelle Parrish, 48, to get medical checkups. So far, everything is good for them.
Sadly, Margeau lost her battle with lung cancer in November 2012. She was 46.
Dominique had been making plans to be in California for her grandson's birth when she was rushed back to CVPH last month after she became very ill.
Following a blood transfusion, she had trouble breathing and was unresponsive.
"She was really out of it," Renee said. "The doctors told us to call the family because it looked like she wasn't going to make it through."
The American Red Cross flew Dominique's son home from California, and when she heard his voice by her bedside, Renee said, it was like she started fighting to breathe again on her own.
"I thought I was dreaming," Dominique said. "I kept saying, 'Is that you, Justin?'"
Justin didn't know what he would find when he got to Plattsburgh, but his mom got stronger and stronger. After two weeks, she was able to go home, and Justin returned to Camp Pendleton.
She has accepted the fact that she's not going to California, but would like to be able to have Justin and Merritt, whom she has never met, and their newborn, flown to Plattsburgh for a visit.
Family and friends are planning a fundraiser for Saturday, June 29, at Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 125 on Boynton Avenue in Plattsburgh to help with plane tickets and expenses.
"I just knew I had to do something to help Dommer," said Sandy Fassett, a friend since childhood. "She has gone through so much and keeps on looking forward — it's the least we can do."
Sandy and Renee have contacted multiple local businesses that have donated gift certificates and other items for a Chinese auction.
During the day, children will be foremost in Dominique's heart; she wants the focus to be about family.
"We'll have piñatas, games and food," she said. "I want it to be a day for the kids to enjoy, to have families together having a good time."
Email Susan Tobias:
The Donations for Dominique event is set for 1 p.m. Saturday at Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 125, Boynton Avenue, Plattsburgh. A buffet lunch is $10 per person, $6 for between six and 12 diners, and ages 5 and younger eat for free. The fundraiser includes a Chinese auction, raffles, games music and other activities. To mail a donation, make checks out to Dominique Hoffman and send them to her at 54 Waterhouse St., Plattsburgh, NY 12901. Proceeds in excess of expenses for Dominique's family to travel home will be donated to the FitzPatrick Cancer Center in Plattsburgh. To give to the Chinese auction, call 310-0124.

The evenings will be hosted by actress, recording artist and author Lorna Luft and will feature Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony winner Liza Minnelli. The benefit will mark the first time in 20 years that the sisters have performed together; the last time was a duet for the 1993 Tony Awards.
Attendees can also expect appearances by Nick Adams, Ann Hampton Callaway, Liz Callaway, Jim Caruso, Kelly King, Brian Stokes Mitchell, Phyllis Newman and Marcia Strassman.
Luft, who went public with her recent battle against breast cancer, plans to celebrate National Breast Cancer Awareness Month with Minnelli and special guests, many of them also cancer survivors, with the message, "We made it and you will too!"
Tony-winning actress (and Actors Fund Trustee) Phyllis Newman added, "I'm thrilled that this year's Nothing Like a Dame event will feature the wonderful Lorna Luft hosting a slew of fantastically talented friends. It's going to be a great couple of nights, all in support of two great organizations: The Actors Fund and Tower Cancer Research Foundation."
Tickets start at $250 and include drinks and dinner, with a very limited number of $75 standing room and $100 bar seating tickets. An exclusive post-show VIP photo opportunity with the stars is included with purchase of a $1,000 ticket. Special sponsorship packages are also available. Tickets can be purchased at actorsfund.org or by phone at (212) 221-7300, ext. 133 or by emailing email@example.com.

Say what you will about the well-heeled Coppola clan, none of them are resting on their laurels. And while she hasn't made a feature splash like Francis, Sofia or Roman, so far Gia Coppola has been getting a plethora of experience under her belt with short films, and the past few weeks have seen two more surface.
The first on deck is "What's Up," a project made in collaboration with fashion label Wren and Lulu magazine. For the most part, this is a familiar riff, focusing on a bored but well-off young woman (Bella Zarember) in Los Angeles, who idles her time hanging out in her room, listening to Ciara and observing people going in and out of the house, until she ventures outside and has...an unexpected encounter. It's kind of a Herzog/Lynch finale that's a total WTF moment, but it's also kind of brilliant, too.
Next is "Writer's Block," which stars Tracy Antonopoulos, who Coppola previously worked with as co-director on a film for Opening Ceremony and another short, "Non Plus One" starring Kirsten Dunst and Jason Schwartzman. Here, Gia and Tracy get some more help from their friends, as Aubrey Plaza narrates and Ray Liotta cameos in this effort for Current/Elliot. It's a pretty clever and creative flick, one that bears some obvious influence of Wes Anderson and Michel Gondry, telling the tale of woman trying to make it in Hollywood as a screenwriter. Lots of lo-fi fun being had here. Check 'em both out below [Fashionista/Telegraph]

Why do people keep tossing the term "brilliant" around for Gia Coppola and Lena Dunham? I am waiting and waiting and waiting for the brilliance to present itself...Still waiting.

Think about it.
Cut out the fancy 'look' of the production sets and designs and your arty neighbor with cheap digicam would have come up with the same vacuous, pretentious, mannered dross.

Budget crisis threatens class-size reduction, staff
Original post made on Jan 15, 2009

Kernan apparently said: "If those cuts are implemented, this is going to be a crap district," he continued. "I didn't move here to have my kids go to a crap school. I'll be damned if [the kindergarteners are going to get a secondary education while I'm on this board."
Amazing, Mr. Kernan! Did they teach you to speak like that at law school? Perhaps you and Dick Cheney attended the same school? Maybe it is time to look more seriously into your residency qualifications. You certainly won't be paying for any parcel tax, will you now?
Here's some perspective. My parents moved to Pleasanton for its quality schools. I attended all through the 80s, a time when California had the highest teacher to student ratio of the nation and annual decreases in school funding (which lead to Prop 98). We didn't have a parcel tax either. Please explain, in non-vulgar language, how it was possible that Pleasanton had quality schools then.
on Jan 15, 2009 at 8:54 am
Give all the credit you want to the teachers and administrators, BUT good schools with good test scores start, and end, in the home. The same parents that have such high standards, and arent very nice on the blogs, are the ones making sure the students in our schools on top of their education.
Imagine that though... the liberals in education have come up with more taxes to solve our problems. Knock me over with a feather...
on Jan 15, 2009 at 9:09 am
"For 14 years, we have fought to get this district to where it's at," Kernan said. "It could go away, literally, overnight."
Basically what Mr. Kernan is saying is that he can't make disinterested, rational decisions because he has so much personal emotion vested into the current state of the district.
"The people who are blogging and making critical comments about our teachers and administrators, really there's just a disconnect from what they're saying to reality"
I have to agree somewhat on this because, like I wrote in another thread, this kind of budget crisis issue invariably gets conflated with perceived staff characteristics. One needs to step back from the emotional aspect of this, like we should ask of Mr. Kernan.

GRAY, Ky. — A young couple and five small children participating in a sleepover died of smoke inhalation Saturday night in a house fire in this southeast Kentucky Appalachian community, the second multiple death house fire in the region in two months.
Relatives of the woman victim, Nina Asher, 22, said she was three months pregnant by her boyfriend, Jesse Disney, 25, who also perished.
Three of Asher's children -- boys 3 and 2 and a 10-month-old girl -- died in the fire, along with two of their friends, girls 3 and 2, who were spending the night in a sleepover.
William Gray, who said he was the father of Asher's children, described them as "the best kids in the world."
Ray Disney, uncle of Jesse Disney, called it "a terrible, terrible tragedy. They must have all been sleeping when the fire broke out."
Investigators said a neighbor called 911 to report the fire at 9:57 p.m. They said the children were found in the living room that had been converted to a sleepover bedroom of the one-story, wood-and-brick frame home. The mother's body was found inside a side door and the boyfriend's body a few feet farther into the home, they said.
Officials said the fire appeared to have started in an empty back bedroom in a corner of the house but they did not know the cause nor did they suspect foul play. They said the carpet in the bedroom had been cleaned the day before.
Gino Cima, another uncle of Ray Disney, arrived on the scene as the fire was still raging. He said he pulled the body of Asher from just inside the side door. He also retrieved the body of his nephew. He said both were lifeless.
"Hey, there's babies in there, there's babies in there!" Cima screamed to firefighters, his wife, Laura, who also was at the scene, told the Associated Press.
It was the second family house fire tragedy to strike southeast Kentucky this year. On Jan. 9, about 80 miles away in Pike County, a father and four of his children died in an early morning blaze.
Officials said a space heater likely caused the fire.

Ruth, who was previously employed by the Chevron on Main Street in Sumiton, was allegedly dealing controlled substances from that location.
Sumiton police also filed for an enhancement of the arrest warrant because state law increases the penalties for distribution near a school or housing authority. The location in question is within a three-mile radius of both a school and housing authority.
If convicted, illegal distribution of a controlled substance is a Class B felony, which carries a two to 20 year sentence and up to $30,000 in fines.
The enhanced charge would mean a mandatory five-year addition to any sentence imposed if Ruth is convicted on the charges.
"Sumiton Police Department takes the selling of drugs near schools very seriously," Narcotics Investigator Kris Price said.
Ruth was arrested at his home on Robbins Street in Sumiton.
Sumiton police said they do anticipate more arrests in this continuing investigation into illegal narcotics sales in the city.
Anyone with information regarding narcotics sales in the city is asked to contact Price at (205) 648-3261 or via text (205) 234-5045.

Gulbransen named finalist for "Fan's Choice Award" presented by TD Ameritrade
Related Links
JU baseball junior outfielder Dan Gulbransen has found his way into some good company as he is one of 19 finalists for the "Fan's Choice Award" presented by TD Ameritrade, announced by Interasport Wednesday.
The "Fan's Choice Award" goes beyond the stat sheet to honor and recognize college baseball players who are positive role models both on and off the field, exemplifying core values like teamwork and integrity, as well as the drive to win. "The Fan's Choice Award" is the only college baseball award that is completely determined by fans.
The winner will be determined by fans through Facebook voting and will be honored at the 2012 TD Ameritrade College Home Run Derby.
"In 32 years of coaching, I have never had anyone more dedicated to being the total person than Dan Gulbransen," head coach Terry Alexander said. "Not only is he dedicated to being a great student, but he works even harder at helping his teammates and within the community to make it a better place. He is an All-American person on and off the field. Dan is very deserving to be on this list and we hope he wins it."
On the field in 2012, Gulbransen ranked second on the team in average (.324), hits (67), triples (1), home runs (6) and RBI (33) to earn first team all-conference honors for the third straight season. He hit .380 in A-Sun play and finished the conference schedule with a 13-game hitting streak, including multiple hits in six of the final seven contests. In the career record book, he is eighth all-time in hits with 230.
"Dan Gulbransen the perfect model for what a student-athlete is all about," JU associate head coach/recruiting coordinator Tim Montez said. "Not only is he a great baseball player, but his character, integrity, and humbleness is second to none. You throw in the fact that he is a 4.0 student and has never gotten anything below an A dating back through high school is just flat out remarkable."
Gulbransen posted a 4.0 GPA in exercise science en route to being named the A-Sun baseball Scholar-Athlete of the Year on May 22. He has also been named A-Sun All-Academic and to the President's Honor Roll twice, while earning Capital One Academic All-America third team accolades in 2011.
Gulbransen has already been named Capital One Academic All-District for the second straight year and awaits to see if he is named to the academic All-America team again May 30.
"In 10 years of teaching, I've encountered few students of Daniel's caliber," JU professor Dr. Elizabeth Gregg said. "Typically student-athletes that excel on the field to the extent that Dan has rarely demonstrate the same type of focus required for excellence in the classroom. Dan is an exception.
"In all interactions, I found Dan to be extremely driven to achieve academic excellence. He attended class religiously and frequently was a leader in class discussions. Dan regularly asked insightful questions that positively contributed to the classroom environment. He was a natural mentor to his younger classmates. By setting an example of excellence, Dan raised the bar for his peers. I cannot imagine an individual more deserving of such an award as Dan Gulbransen."
Fans can learn more about Gulbransen and vote for him from now until Monday, June 25 by clicking the link above. Fans can vote once per day starting today.

Like drop-in sinks, undermounts come in a wide range of
materials, including cast polymer, stainless steel, enameled
cast iron, enameled steel, vitreous china, copper, brass, and
solid stone.
Cast polymer Cast polymer (plastic)
sinks make up a growing share of the market. Sink manufacturers
generally divide cast polymer sinks into three different
categories - cultured marble, solid-surfacing, and composite
(see sidebar, ). Although cultured marble is relatively
inexpensive, it is less scratch resistant than other types of
cast polymer, and is not recommended for use in the kitchen. At
least one manufacturer, Lippert, makes an undermount bathroom
lavatory out of cultured marble.
Solid-surfacing. Most manufacturers of
solid-surface countertops also manufacture sinks out of the
same material. Solid-surfacing, unlike cultured marble, is
uniform throughout the entire thickness of the material. Any
scratches can be sanded out, with no degradation of the finish,
using 180- to 300-grit sandpaper.
Solid-surfacing is less stain resistant than most other sink
materials. "There are certain stains that none of the
solid-surface materials can resist," says Steve McNally,
director of government and regulatory affairs for the
International Cast Polymer Association, an industry group.
"Cherry Kool-Aid is one. It is a very aggressive stain. In
writing the national standards, we don't include resistance to
cherry Kool-Aid, because nothing would pass if we did." Stains
in solid-surface material, like scratches, can be sanded

BEIRUT (AP) -- A Chinese envoy visiting Damascus is calling on all sides in Syria to stop the violence and says he is hopeful that the authorities will restore stability soon.
Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Zhai Jun spoke in the Syrian capital following a meeting with President Bashar Assad Saturday.
He said China was "extremely concerned" about the escalation of the crisis in Syria.
China along with Russia has refused to condemn Syria over the crackdown on an uprising now in its 11th month, which according to the U.N. killed more than 5,400 people last year alone.
China this week voted against a U.N. General Assembly resolution condemning human rights violations in Syria.
The vote followed China's recent veto of a similar resolution in the U.N. Security Council.

Web page layouts with the GIMP
Good homepage design is a question of the layout. Sometimes the best option is to use a graphics program to design the page, then translate the result into HTML code. The versatile image manipulation program GIMP can help.
Some purists believe they must compose HTML code line by line in a text editor to achieve clean results, but other developers are occasionally willing to consider alternatives. One little known alternative is the option of creating a graphics file in GIMP and then converting the file directly to HTML. GIMP version 2 (www.gimp.org) or newer includes the Py-Slice plug-in, which converts the image into a collection of tiles, and then creates an HTML table that organizes the tiles into an image that looks like the original. The results can easily be used for homepages with attractive graphics, like the example shown in Figure 1. Most current distributions give you GIMP version 2.2; we will be using this version for the remainder of this article. Suse users will need to add the Python extension and the Py-Slice plug-in manually [2]. After doing so, launch GIMP and create a new image (File | New). Then select the 800x600 entry in the Templates drop down. This is the resolution we will be using for the homepage. Then enter a name for the file; you will be storing the file under this name later. Make sure you use GIMP's native .xcf format to have access to all of GIMP's features.

March 28, 2012
The Placer County Board of Supervisors agreed to start eminent domain proceedings Tuesday in case the county is unable to successfully negotiate right-of-way acquisitions needed to widen Auburn Folsom Road in Granite Bay.
The county still must acquire five properties that altogether cover less than two acres before it can widen Auburn Folsom from two to four lanes between Eureka Road and Douglas Boulevard.
At Tuesday's meeting, the board voted unanimously to adopt a resolution of necessity declaring the county's intent to acquire the properties through eminent domain proceedings if necessary.
"We don't take this action lightly," county Public Works Director Ken Grehm said of the decision to initiate eminent domain proceedings.
He joined other speakers in emphasizing the county needs to complete the right-of-way acquisitions so it can start construction without delay on the third and final phase of the widening project. When the final phase is complete, Auburn Folsom will be a four-lane thoroughfare from Douglas Boulevard to the Sacramento County line.
"This is an important project in our area," said Supervisor Kirk Uhler, Granite Bay's representative on the Board of Supervisors.
Grehm told the board that approximately 30,000 vehicles travel Auburn Folsom daily, emphasizing that it is a major transportation corridor between South Placer and the Folsom area.
He noted that the courts will determine fair market values of the properties if the county acquires them through eminent domain. "We're committed to paying what the fair market value is," he told the board.
Grehm said the county will continue negotiating with the two families who own the five properties. Members of both families addressed the board, and one pledged to work with the county to complete the sale of his family's two parcels.
In a report to the board, Grehm said that the county has successfully completed right-of-way acquisitions for 13 parcels needed to widen Auburn Folsom between Eureka and Douglas.
On Feb. 28, the board paved the way for construction of the final phase to begin as early as this year when it agreed to shift up to $7.7 million in traffic impact fee revenue collected throughout the county to supplement funding that already was available for the widening work. The impact fee revenue from other parts of the county will be repaid using $8 million in future revenue the South Placer Regional Transportation Authority has earmarked for the Auburn Folsom widening project.
At Tuesday's meeting, the board also voted unanimously to approve the Placer County Housing Authority's annual plan for operating a federally funded housing voucher program.
The Housing Authority, a division of the Health and Human Services Department, is scheduled to receive more than $2.2 million during the 2012-13 fiscal year for the Housing Choice Voucher Program. Placer County's program provides rent assistance to more than 275 families, seniors and veterans with very low incomes. Many participants are elderly or disabled.
In a report to the board, Health and Human Services noted that the Placer County Housing Authority has been designated a "high-performing" housing authority by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for the second consecutive year.
Also on Tuesday, HUD notified the Housing Authority it will receive 10 extra vouchers during 2012-13 specifically for veterans who need affordable housing.
The vouchers generally cover the difference between fair-market rent payments based on HUD standards and the amounts program participants can afford to pay.

Screaming wagons have been star turns at the four-ring zircus since 1994, based always on an existing model (in this case the amiable A4 Avant of 2008 vintage) though one that's spent a year training with Daniel Geale.
Standard kit includes multimedia system, xenon lights, 19-inch alloys, electronic tailgate, parking system with rear camera and nice paint. A $7200 package adds alloy 20s, sports exhaust and suspension with dynamic ride control.
What's wonderful is that 4.2-litre 331kW V8 with better than 100Nm per litre, spinning a fluent dual-clutch seven-speed auto. The urge gets to the ground via the torque-sensing quattro AWD that shovels almost all the torque rearwards (or up to 70 per cent forward as needed).
You can complain — and some surely will — that this performance shopping trolley has become too clinically efficient for fun's sake, as maturely staid as its station wagon shape has always misleadingly suggested. And it's true that if compared to the last and fabulous 2006 model, the new Audi RS4 Avant is almost top-heavy with tech, suffused with switches.
We'd argue that away from the track (where limits can be relatively safely gauged) and on the public roads (which are way scarier in their random way), this RS4 is almost precisely what a performance-cum-family car should be. Especially one that reaches 100km/h from standing in 4.7 seconds.
It has a weapons grade physique — flared arches to accommodate at least 19-inch but often 20-inch wheels, side skirt, vast aluminium mesh masked air intakes, matt silver accents and gaping tail-pipes.
As I make my usual hash of the hairpin turn two at Sydney Motorsport Park, the twin-clutch transmission automatically drops back and lowers to almost a croon the roar of the high-revving, naturally breathing V8. The RS4 Avant could be saying: "There, there, you silly middle-aged boy, let me sort this out."
With minimal input from me, the super smart all-wheel-drive system abetted by rear axle differential hauls the uber wagon back into line and allows the next apex to be made with some sort of aplomb.
It makes for an extraordinarily tolerant and forgiving construct. If not idiot-proof per se, when pushed its behaviour pretty much defines progressive.
Although this generation RS4 has been bought in for an unexpectedly low $149,400 — some $25K under the one previous — anyone who was lucky enough to know and thus to love its predecessor might wish for a less sophisticated version, one with a single button labelled "Sport" to turn all the juice on or off rather than the multi-mode frippery.
This engaging yet cosseting car remains the coolest shopping trolley in town.

ASIA/AFGHANISTAN -Apprehension for disabled children of the Pro Children Association of Kabul
Kabul (Agenzia Fides) - It seems that the 'Spring Offensive', triggered by the Taliban in the country on April 15, extended to three eastern provinces (Nangarhar, Logar and Paktia), resulted in a toll of 51 victims and 74 injuries. "After a night spent in apprehension due to the sound of gunfire and grenades , we got up with the feeling of great concern for the fate of this Country, for our children and their families," says one of the 4 women religious who works in the community Pro children in Kabul, an inter-congregational centre for disabled children born in 2004. "The driver came to work at six - the nun continues – while in the distance one could hear the blows of firearms and bombs – to make sure everything was calm on the streets and that at 7.30 he could make his usual tour, collecting children, on time and safely." "The nuns are doing well," wrote Fr. Carlo Fondrini, Guanellian and legal manager of the center in a note sent to Fides. "Half an hour before the attack they were in the area of the Italian Embassy, where we are obliged to go so we can attend Mass, in the only church in Afghanistan, which is just inside the Italian Embassy," says Fr. Fondrini. The nuns, who come from different congregations, after an intense period of formation, came to Kabul in November 2004. Since May 24, 2006 they have accepted children with disabilities in classrooms adapted for them, with materials, educational games and toys donated to help give them a future of hope.

The Florida Panthers and Montreal Canadiens made last week's reassignment of minor-league defensemen Brendon Nash to San Antonio and Jason DeSantis to Hamilton, permanent. The clubs announced on Monday that the two had been officially traded for each other.
Brendon Nash is now property of the Florida Panthers. Nash has already played in four games with the San Antonio Rampage where he has yet to collect any points. He had 8 points and a + 5 rating in 26 games with Hamilton before the recent reassignment. The 6-3, 210 lb blue liner is twenty-five years old and played four years of NCAA hockey at Cornell. He was originally signed by Montreal as an undrafted free agent on March 30, 2010. He appeared in 75 games for Hamilton during the 2010-11 season as well as two NHL games for the parent club but missed all of last season due to injury.
DeSantis was signed by the Panthers as a free agent on June 14, 2012 after an impressive 43 point season with the St. John's IceCaps of the AHL. DeSantis had picked up 9 points and posted a disappointing -7 rating in 28 games with San Antonio before being reassigned to the Bulldogs last week.
