Thursday's 60-second rant: Another Sunday-night special on the way
PFW's Dan Arkush rants about all the different reasons the 49ers-Seahawks game Sunday night should be worth the price of admission.
Rogers says he re-signed with the San Francisco 49ers this month on a $31.3 million, four-year contract because he appreciates the team's effort to keep the NFC West champions' talented defense intact for another run at a Super Bowl this year.||||||| Rogers, who shared the team lead with six interceptions, insists he knew in Week 4 or 5 last season that he wanted to return on a long-term deal - and now he hopes to use the momentum gained from his big season to carry him in 2012. With Rogers back, defensive coordinator Vic Fangio has all 11 starters returning on a unit that ranked No. 1 in the NFL in stopping the run.
The San Francisco 49ers have signed free agent cornerback Carlos Rogers and safety Madieu Williams to one-year contracts.||||||| Rogers spent the past six seasons in Washington and had 43 tackles and two interceptions in 2010. The ninth player taken overall in the 2005 draft, the 30-year-old Rogers is likely to replace Nate Clements, who was released by the 49ers in a cost-cutting move last week.
Rogers said Thursday his right hamstring is still sore after hurting it in Monday night's 59-28 loss to Philadelphia.||||||| Rogers didn't sound optimistic about his chances of taking the field against the Titans on Sunday.
The Washington Redskins placed cornerback Carlos Rogers on injured reserve Tuesday and promoted cornerback John Eubanks from the practice squad.||||||| Rogers tore two ligaments in his right knee in the first quarter of Sunday's loss to the New England Patriots. He will have reconstructive surgery later this month. Washington has promoted cornerback John Eubanks from the practice squad.
Rogers is hoping to do better than his paltry total of one interception last season. He displayed hands of stone on several other chances.||||||| "I could have had 10 more myself, just by catching the ball," Rogers said. "It was just concentration. It's not thinking about taking the ball and scoring, just catching the ball first and running." It's unlikely that Rogers will play better, however, in 2007.

Some East Texas educators are training in a new program that could change how they work with parents to make kids successful students and successful in life.
Longview school teachers are part of the Parenting Partners program, which could be a blueprint for other districts on how to give kids team backing to win at learning. With workbooks and presentations, teachers from Longview schools tried to look at teaching from a parent's perspective.
"We want to train teachers and facilitators and administrators at their school to connect more positively with their parents," says program director David Porter.
The program focuses on positive reinforcement for learning, from both teachers and parents.
"I think we're learning how to teach our parents to be more loving, more caring, more supportive of their children. As long as they feel support loving and caring from the parents the students can be better in the classroom," says South Ward elementary teacher Fozzie Smith.
Role playing skits help teachers understand the negative comments at home that can demoralize children.
"What we're here to do is train our teachers to reach their parents and get parents to come in to get practical parenting skills," Porter says.
Perhaps now more than ever, kids have external pressures that can lead to failure if they're not coached against them.
"To protect your kids from all these external pressures such as sex, drugs. I really picked up today how important it is to put yourself in the position of a parent," says elementary teacher Whitney Stewart.
The objective is simple.
"The research has shown that when parents are more involved, supporting their children, telling them they can do good in school, the results tend to follow," Porter says.
The district will have teachers implement the program in February, and will hold Spanish language Parenting Partner programs.

In Gears of War: Judgment, a few new gameplay mechanics and some fresh faces add some longevity to a series that has just about run out of gas on Xbox 360.
The Gear 2 Neo offers the best balance of features and price among Samsung's three 2014 smartwatches, but it falls short of must-have status.
Samsung's Gear Live comes with a heart-rate monitor and Android Wear OS. Here's what we know so far.
Samsung has made strides with the Gear 2, but this smartwatch is on its own island with few apps and Samsung-only device compatibility. At this point, you're better off waiting for Android Wear.
The Samsung Gear Fit is a great-looking wearable, but doesn't successfully reconcile its dual roles as activity tracker and smartwatch.
Samsung officially drops Android from its second-generation smartwatch in order to pursue its own Tizen OS.
The Gear 2 Neo looks to be a less-fancy version of the Samsung Gear 2. Read our hands-on impressions.
The company introduces the first interchangeable-lens still camera that's QFHD- and Cinema 4K-ready out of the box, though you'll have to accessorize for best results.
Bluetooth-enabled, and capable of syncing with several fitness apps. Could this be the just-smart-enough smartwatch?

Product Details For the playful spirit and sultry bod, the mini skirt duo costume with a gangster theme and bunny ears accent is the perfect combination. This isn't your typical 1930's conservative button down dress, this hot-to-trot costume is hoppin' with a flair for furry animals. This would be a great costume for an animal rights activist gala, or even a cocktail waitress for a private party. There are tons of venues that could benefit from this unusual medley of themes. The ganster bunny costume comes with a gartered mini skirt and ruffled edges that is pin-striped to match the bustier style white pinstriped black halter top. It is accented by designs of a white low-cut collar and a matching white tie. The plush headband is playboy bunny reminiscent black and white, with black exterior and white lined interior bunny ears they could definitely have come right off any playboy bunny t-shirt; the likeness is uncanny. Add a pair of black fence net thigh highs, and the uber-chic black and white lace-up ankle boot from the accessories suggestions, and you've got a killer bunny uniform that any gangster mama would be proud of.
Year of Release 2008

The Batesville Herald-Tribune
---- — The Batesville Bulldogs were favored to win a fourth consecutive tennis sectional title.
And did so with relative ease.
Not only is it the fourth straight title, but it is more impressively the 21st in the past 22 years.
The Bulldogs defeated the Milan Indians by a score of 5-0 in the championship on Saturday at South Dearborn High School.
Henry Luchow, Nick Kirschner and Blake Walsman were all straight set winners in singles play against the Indians.
Luchow led the way with a 6-0 and 6-2 win over Cooper Wade at No. 1 singles, while Kirschner defeated Logan Alloway 6-4 and 6-0 at No. 2.
The No. 1 doubles team of Chris Hoseus and Dustin Nobbe won in two sets as did the No. 2 team of Matt Taylor and Jacaob Paul.
The Bulldogs earned a berth in the finals with a 5-0 win over South Dearborn.
Luchow and Kirschner were easy winners at the top two positions. Walsman defeated Adam Dreihaus 6-0 and 6-0 at No. 3.
Hoseus and Nobbe beat Ryan Howell and Keaton Ballart 6-0 and 6-1. Paul and Taylor defeated Kyle McGaha and Blake Dreihaus by the same scores at No. 2.
The Bulldogs improved to 14-7 on the season and will play at the Richmond Regional on Tuesday.

It was hard to miss all the smoke in Van Horne Wednesday afternoon after a fire started around 3:00 PM.
"I don't think I've ever seen anything like this," said Adam Masten of Van Horne.
Crews from multiple Benton County fire departments worked several hours to contain a fire at Long Shots, a bar located at 124 Main Street in Van Horne.
The bar was destroyed in Wednesday's fire. It opened under new ownership in August.
Bar patrons said Long Shot's was known for good sandwiches and beer; they said its afternoon crowd usually started gathering around 4:00 daily.
Rescue crews were able to evacuate the bar and area businesses. No one was hurt in the fire.
The building's owner said this is the second time the building has caught fire. There is an apartment in the back of the bar, but the owner said the tenant was not home at the time of the fire, and that the tenant did not have a pet.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
Strange formation at bottom of Utah irrigation pond baffles farmers and scientists. John Hollenhorst reports.

Here's our take on the Browns' top offensive, defensive and special-teams players from Cleveland's 24-17 loss at Oakland on Sunday.
Offense: WR Greg Little
The rookie from North Carolina was targeted 12 times, catching six passes and 72 yards, all team-highs. Little, who moved into the starting lineup in Week Six, is one of Cleveland's top options in the passing game. The Browns' other first-team wideout, Mohamed Massaquoi, had a TD catch but caught just three passes for 30 yards (seven targets).
Defense: MLB D'Qwell Jackson
The club's leading tackler, Jackson again paced the Browns with nine tackles, including two for loss. He has proven that when healthy, and no matter the defensive scheme, you can pencil him in for 9-10 tackles with confidence. Honorable mention goes to rookie DE Jabaal Sheard and DT Phil Taylor, who each notched a sack.
Special teams: PK Phil Dawson
Dawson hit a beautiful onside kick that rookie DB James Dockery recovered with 1:06 left and Cleveland trailing 24-17. Also, Dawson connected on a 47-yard field goal. He has yet to miss a FG attempt in seven tries this season. Overall, though, this was a terrible day for the Browns' special teams, which surrendered a kickoff-return TD to Jacoby Ford and a TD pass from P Shane Lechler to TE Kevin Boss on a fake field goal.

The Royal Institution of Cornwall has been responsible for a museum since its inception. The diverse collections it has acquired over the years are held within the Courtney Library & Archive and the Royal Cornwall Museum. The majority of collections relate mainly to Cornwall, but there are others from the rest of the UK and abroad.
The Courtney Library & Archive holds books, periodicals, archive material and ephemera relating to Cornwall and the South West of England. In addition, there is an extensive photographic collection which records the history of Cornwall from 1845 to date.
The Royal Cornwall Museum holds collections of Cornish & European archaeology and social history, as well as world cultures. The fine and decorative art collections hold work by Cornish artists, designers and makers but also contain significant works by nationally and internationally important artists from other parts of the world. The geology and flora & fauna of the South West of England are represented in the geological and biological collections and are complimented by UK and world material.

The Olympics are separated into two areas - the coastal cluster and the mountain cluster. And visitors can go in between them by either going in their car or do what we're doing and going by train on a newly constructed railway.
In Krasnya Polyana, Rosa Khutor is known as the gateway to the mountains. This is where all of the ski and sliding sports will take place during the Olympics. Now a lot has been said about how warm Sochi is, but this is where all the cold is.
The reason why Rosa Khutor is called the gateway to the mountains is because you can take rides in cable cars to all the venues that will be hosting athletes from around the world.
7's Nancy Chen said it's very new and it basically popped up overnight just in time for the Olympics.
You can find almost anything you want. There are stores selling clothing, there are supermarkets and just in case it's not cold enough for you, there's a Baskin Robbins.
The coastal cluster is hosting all the ice events. These Olympics are being hailed as the most compact ever, when it comes to space. The park includes five ice sport venues, including the Bolshoy, one of two spaces to host the hockey games. The design is modeled after a frozen drop.
Finally, there's the Fisht Olympic Stadium, named for one of the most famous mountains in Russia. This will host the Opening and Closing Ceremonies. Its transparent roof will let spectators inside see the entire mountain from foot to peak.
Stay with 7News for more live coverage in Sochi with 7's Nancy Chen.

Definition of Adrenal cortex
Adrenal cortex: The outer portion of the adrenal gland located on top of each kidney. The adrenal cortex produces steroid hormones which regulate carbohydrate and fat metabolism and mineralocorticoid hormones which regulate salt and water balance in the body.
Underfunction of the adrenal cortex results in Addison disease while overfunction occurs in the adrenogenital syndrome and in Cushing syndrome.Source: MedTerms™ Medical Dictionary

DENVER (AP) - Defense attorneys say the suspect in the Colorado movie theater shooting tried unsuccessfully to call a University of Colorado, Denver, psychiatrist nine minutes before the attack.
Defense attorney Tamara Brady said Thursday that James Holmes placed the call to an after-hours number at a hospital at the University of Colorado, Anschutz campus.
Brady says Holmes thought he would reach psychiatrist Lynne Fenton at that number.
The detail came out during a hearing about Holmes' relationship with Fenton, to whom he mailed a package containing a notebook that reportedly contained violent descriptions of an attack.
Holmes is accused in the July 20 shooting that left 12 people dead and 58 wounded.

Best One of my first live wallpapers. Would love to see it for Nexus 7 as well.
Awesome, but This is a really great looking wallpaper, but the performance hit to scrolling animations is too much. I'd definitely use this If it didn't cause the framerate of my home screen animations to drop.
Meh Only movement is the asteroids/comets. Planet should slowly rotate as well.
A work of art!
excellent works and looks great!
Good but basic Looks great and love it, but a bit same after a while
Simple and great looking No fuss, mush or overt graphics. Just clean animation suitable for the owner's watchful eyes
Feel in deep Good app to users wallpaper
Does not scale properly I really want to use this wallpaper but it does not scale properly on my HTC Amaze The wallpaper does not take the whole screen and leaves an open edge.

As seen from around the world tonight – February 18, 2014 – you can use the moon to locate the planet Mars and bright star Spica. Clouded out tonight? Tomorrow night – February 19 – works too. The moon, Mars and Spica will climb over your horizon by mid-to-late evening. They'll then stay out for the rest of the night. No matter where you are on Earth, they are highest up in the sky around 3 to 4 a.m. local time and may be found in the western half of sky at morning dawn. Mars is now nearly at its best for this two-year period! The peak time will be in April, but if you start watching Mars tonight, you'll really enjoy its appearance in our sky in 2014.
How to tell Mars from Spica tonight and in the months to come? There are several ways to tell which starlike object is Mars and which is Spica. Mars is the brighter of the two objects. It probably exhibits a steadier light. Plus Mars is reddish in color, while Spica is blue-white. It may be hard to discern color in the glare of tonight's bright waning gibbous moon. However, binoculars always help to accentuate color on a moonlit night or in a light-polluted sky.
We Love Our Fans Sale going on now. Order your 2014 EarthSky lunar calendar today at a 50% discount!
A planisphere is virtually indispensable for beginning stargazers. Order your EarthSky Planisphere today.
This trio of bright objects – the waning gibbous moon, Mars and Spica in the constellation Virgo – rise rather late in the evening at mid-northern latitudes and earlier in the evening at more southerly latitudes. Check the links on our almanac page to get some references to recommended almanacs. They can help you find out when the moon, Mars and Spica rise in your sky.
From mid-northern latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere – for example, in the U.S. and Europe – you might be able to catch the three luminaries just before bedtime. Look in the eastern part of sky and close to the horizon. If you're not one for staying up late, then catch the moon, Mars and Spica higher up in the sky during the predawn and dawn hours on February 19 and 20.
The moon will move onward after several more days, leaving Mars and Spica behind. Mars, on the other hand, will stay in front of the constellation Virgo and in the vicinity of Spica, Virgo's brightest star, for months to come.
Bottom line: On the nights of February 18 and 19, 2014, look for the planet Mars and star Spica. They are the brightest objects near the moon.

CATEGORIES Action, Drama, Foreign Language, Independent, Cinematical Indie, CinematicalProgramming a film series or festival inevitably requires a degree of compromise, depending as it does on the oft-indecipherable whims of distributors, producers and sales agents. In recognition of the challenges and frustrations involved, I prefer to give programmers the benefit of the doubt. Yet I can't help but wonder what the Film Society of Lincoln Center had in mind with "10 Years and Running: Recent Hong Kong Cinema," a retrospective series that begins tonight in New York City.
Ostensibly, the program is intended "to mark the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region" with a "series of cinematic highlights." That sounds good, but the program lacks any balance. If the aim was to provide the very best of Hong Kong cinema since 1997, then why include Initial D and Confession of Pain, two moderately enjoyable yet ultimately inconsequential films by the directing team of Andrew Lau and Alan Mak (their much better collaboration Infernal Affairs is also screening). If the goal was to provide historical perspective on the decade, why ignore completely the wave of proto-Hollywood thrillers (Downtown Torpedoes, 2000 A.D.) that flooded theaters in the late 1990's, or the plethora of romantic comedies that followed in the wake of Needing You in 2000, or recent attempts -- by directors other than Johnny To -- to reawaken the action film (Flash Point, Invisible Target)? If the goal was to highlight popular hits, where are the films of Stephen Chow (The King of Comedy, Shaolin Soccer, Kung Fu Hustle)?
Instead, the showcase is limited to the tried and true: Lau and Mak (three films), Wong Kar Wai (two films) and Johnny To (three and 1/3, counting his contribution to Triangle) fill eight of the 13 slots. That's not to denigrate the quality of the selections nor to discourage anyone from attending, but it looks like a lost opportunity to showcase less-heralded gems of recent Hong Kong cinema. All that being said, if I lived in New York I'd park myself in the theater for the entire series, which runs through October 25; I've seen most of them, but not on the big screen.

À La Carte Excursions | General Information
Add To Plan
Step back in time to the turn of the last century, when Bar Harbor was one of the most exclusive resorts in the world. As painters, poets and authors began to speak their tales of the island's natural beauty, America's elite - including the Astors, Fords, Morgans, Rockefellers, Carnegies, and Vanderbilts, were drawn to this idyllic location where they then built their elegant estates, often referred to as "cottages".
Setting off from the pier, your guided walking tour of Bar Harbor's bygone days begins with a stroll along the beautiful Shore Path where you will enjoy stunning vistas of Frenchman Bay on one side, and elegant summer cottages on the other. Passing the Village Green, you will see the town clock and the village bandstand. It was here where many townspeople often gathered on summer evenings to hear the marches of John Philip Sousa and other popular music that often ended with a rousing rendition of "Goodnight, Ladies". As you make your way through the beautiful downtown area, you will pass a number of Victorian Mansions that survived the Great Fire of 1947. During your pleasant trek through this utterly charming town, your guide will be happy to share the intimate secrets and tales of a magnificent era when fabulously wealthy residents tried to outdo each other with their lavish parties and opulent lifestyles.
Your exploration of Bar Harbor will eventually lead you back to the pier where your tour concludes.
Please Note: This tour includes 1 1/2 to 2 hours of slow walking that covers approximately 1 1/2 miles over both even and gravel surfaces. Some pathways are narrow with a few steps to negotiate. The tour is not available to wheelchair guests and not considered suitable for those guests with mobility concerns. Weather appropriate, layered clothing that should include a water/wind-proof jacket and sturdy, comfortable walking shoes are recommended.

Fueling for the Future - Changes to the Meal Program
When students return to school in the fall, their lunch trays will look a little different. That's because new U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) guidelines will be in place to help students make even healthier food choices in the school cafeteria.
Please review the video for more information on the changes. Additionally, here is a handout for your reference.
School food has changed over the years. We serve locally sourced, rBST hormone free low fat and fat-free milk, a variety of fruits and vegetables, many locally sourced, and whole grain rich foods, including breads, pasta, rice and tortillas.
We have partnered with the Tom Douglas Restaurant Group to develop new recipes for the breakfast and lunch program. This relationship is on-going and has been a wonderful experience for both groups. Last year, we launched a month long breakfast campaign to promote the connection between a quality breakfast and academic success. We also kicked off the first annual "School the Chefs" competition where 4th and 5th graders from different elementary schools partnered with local chefs to compete in a Top Chef-like cooking competition.

Published in slightly different form in The Athens Observer,
p. 7A (July 21-July 27, 1994).
Author: Donald E. Wilkes, Jr., Professor of Law, University of Georgia School of Law.
Based on information kindly furnished me by Watt Espy of the Capital Punishment Research Project in Headland, Alabama, I wish to correct several factual errors in my two-part article on the death penalty recently published in The Athens Observer. The first part of the article, "Sentenced to Death," appeared in the issue for June 30-July 6; the second part, "A Dying Penalty?," appeared in the July 7-13 issue.
The first error I wish to correct has to do with the date of the last (private) hanging in Georgia. In my article I stated that the last Georgia hanging occurred on May 18, 1926 when one Mack Wooten died on the gallows in Atlanta in Fulton County. Actually, there was one subsequent hanging in this state: on June 12, 1931 one Arthur Meyers was hanged in Augusta in Richmond County. This was the last execution by hanging in Georgia.
Second, adding Arthur Meyers to the list of persons executed in Georgia from 1924 to 1964 means there was a total of 421 executions (415 electrocutions, 6 hangings) during this period, instead of 420. Adding Meyers to the list of persons executed also means that the total number of executions in Georgia between 1930 and 1964 was 367 (366 electrocutions, 1 hanging), instead of 366. With the addition of the Meyers execution, the total number of persons executed in the history of Georgia must be increased from 1152 to 1153.
Third, in my article I stated that the last Georgia execution of a person who was 17 at the time the crime was committed occurred on Nov. 19, 1954 (when Joe Lee Jones was electrocuted). I was wrong. Georgia's most recent execution of a person 17 years of age at commission of the crime was nearly 40 years later, on Dec. 7, 1993, when Christopher Burger, age 33, died in the electric chair for a murder committed when he was a 17-year old.

Dungeons & Dragons 3 Movie Trailer
Oops. They've gone and done it again. No, I don't know why either. This chapter of Dungeons & Dragons takes you deeper into the dark and fantastic world of this epic fantasy adventure. A noble warrior must battle dragons and demons while upholding his moral code as he covertly joins a group of villains to rescue his kidnapped father from Shathrax, the Mind Flayer, who threatens to destroy the world.
From what I hear - and I really don't know the truth of this - WotC has zero control over these movies. The rights were sold (or licensed for a period of time) and the publishers of D&D have no input at all. It's used as an opbject lesson in other RPG companies as to what NOT to do with your IP licenses. If you know anything about this, feel free to post it below.

Are they producing these abominations against WotC's will? I can't imagine WotC would consent to these films being made.
Then again, this is the company that licensed 4e's character builder, Daggerdale, D&D Online, Facebook Neverwinter, MtG Tactics, and MtGO. Maybe they're just terrible at making business decisions.

Oh its very real, but has been stuck in development for a year. It was supposed to show on Syfy in december originally.
I have some hopes for this movie, in a so bad its good way, like the first one. But I was disappointed to see the exact same white dragon as in the second movie.

Dear god I was hoping it was a prank. I mean, Syfy did just have "Piranhaconda" so it's not like another D&D movie wouldn't continue the trend of crappy movies.

ø Ignore Mr. Patient
It's tough to gauge just from the trailer, but it looks like they've once again managed to make a D&D movie that bears little relationship to the core D&D experience: a small, diverse band of characters exploring some underground environment or ruin. The second movie did this to some extent, at least.
There are already a million terrible generic fantasy films. Why make one called Dungeons & Dragons unless it represents the game as actually played? I don't want to see generic human bad guys, huge pitched battles, or love interests. I want to see five PCs fighting a displacer beast in a cave somewhere. I want to see the characters perform a full cavity search on their slain opponents to recover every last copper piece. I want to see the Shrine of the Kuo-toa or the Slave Pits of the Undercity. And I want to see the PCs bickering over minutiae.
There are books on computers? Isn't the point of computers to replace books?

@Kel vor - so its never coming out? I wish they'd use some of the characters from the last movie. I didn't it it was as bad as the first.

It is a cell-phone picture, for now only the cell phones of the Iraqi people can record their tragedy. Another shows a young man's body, taken from beside a car wing mirror, hands tied behind his back with his own shirt. Bombs explode across the
But there are also families; even a Muslim family celebrating Christmas, all dressed in Santa Claus hats, and a graduation party where the girls wear Bedouin black dresses with gold-fringed scarves and the boys wear Arab headdress and white abayas – something quite foreign to the middle classes of what was once one of the most literate and educated cities of the Middle East.
But it is the cell phone that has captured this terrible, fearful, brave face of
We Westerners need the locals to photograph their tragedy and their ragged, often fuzzy, poorly framed pictures contain their own finely calibrated and terrible beauty. The fear of the cell-phone snapper is contained in almost every frame. Most of the Iraqis are refugees-to-be, for the Dutch photographer Geert van Kesteren, who collected 388 pages of photographs for his book Baghdad Calling, wanted to catalogue the tragedy of the tens of thousands of Iraqis who are the largely ignored victims of our demented 2003 invasion and occupation.
Van Kesteren, an unassuming but imaginative journalist whom I met recently in
Some were rejected because of their suspect provenance – alas, we therefore do not see the picture of an American soldier, apparently firing a rifle from atop a donkey, but which might have been digitally edited – but others cannot be anything but the truth. The smiling families, hiding in their homes as the killers roam the darkness outside, the young men relaxing in the safety of Kurdistan, swimming in the lakes, revelling in the nightlife, the plump nephew of one of the anonymous cell-phone photographers sitting on a bright red sports car, have to be real.
It must have been hard for Van Kesteren, a news photographer in his own right, to have submerged his own work for this brilliant amateur collection. A few of Van Kesteren's own professional pictures appear in Baghdad Calling but they are taken in the safety of Syria, Jordan or Turkey and – save for a group photograph of courageous Iraqis captured after illegally crossing the Turkish border but still determined to escape from their country again – they lack the power and immediacy of the Iraqi snapshots.
The refugee statistics are so appalling that they have become almost mundane. Four million of
This collection of pictures is therefore an indictment of us, as well as of the courage of Iraqis. The madness is summed up in an email message sent to Van Kesteren by a Baghdad Iraqi. "This summer," he wrote, "a workman wanted to quench his thirst by putting ice in his tea. A car pulled up, the driver stepped out and began to beat and kick the man, cursing him as an unbeliever. 'What do you think you're doing? Did the Prophet Mohamed put ice in his water?'
The man being attacked was furious and asked his assailant: 'Do you think the Prophet Mohamed drove a car?'"

Finding the best national strategy to prevent or delay a country from acquiring nuclear weapons continues to be a critical issue for U.S. policy makers. In this paper, we build on previous work to develop a model that addresses this question. This model identifies the strategy that minimizes the disutility of the overall cost of the strategy and the cost of the consequences resulting from the strategy. We illustrate the insights that the model provides with a case study of Iran's nuclear weapons program.

The victims could fill a novice bird-watcher's bucket list: blackpoll warbler, double-crested cormorant, American black duck, short-billed dowitcher, black-crowned night heron, magnolia warbler, budgerigar and green-winged teal.
The other victims could fill an airplane repair shop: several Boeing 737s, a Boeing 717, a Beechjet 400, a Boeing 747, a Boeing 757 and a Boeing 767.
Birds and jet airplanes don't play well together.
This fact made news in 2009 when Capt. Chesley B. "Sully" Sullenberger III landed a US Airways flight in the Hudson River after a flock of geese stalled both of its engines. Such encounters don't all turn out that well. In 1960, a flock of European starlings was blamed for an Eastern Airlines crash into Boston Harbor that killed 62 people.
Now there are more planes and more large birds flying around, and collisions between them are happening five times more often than they did in 1990, a new federal report says, sometimes with deadly results.
Almost 75 commercial planes have hit birds this year while taking off or landing at Washington's three major airports alone, and in more than than a dozen instances in the past five years, the aircraft have suffered major damage.
Vice President Joe Biden's plane was grounded in April after colliding with birds while approaching the Santa Barbara, Calif., airport, and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton's Air Force jet was damaged the same month while bound from Brussels to Paris.
The Federal Aviation Administration has spent $458 million in the past five years to control birds and other wildlife around airports, but an inspector general's report says it should do a better job of dealing with the risk animals pose to passengers. The FAA says it plans to tighten its oversight.
"After the miracle on the Hudson and bird strikes on both the vice president and secretary of state's aircraft, I'm a a loss to know what's required to get the FAA to do its job," said James E. Hall, former head of the National Transportation Safety Board. "I certainly hope it will be this report, and not a fatal accident in the future."

MADISON (WKOW) -- The Republican National Convention takes center stage on this weekend's edition of Capitol City Sunday.
Republicans want next week's convention to be about their vision for improving the nation's economy, but they'll have to get past the stigma of U.S. Senate Candidate Todd Akin (R-Missouri) first.
The Akin story is starting to get too close to the Romney-Ryan campaign, even turning their poll numbers in Missouri, partly due to Paul Ryan's mutual support of abortion legislation with Akin.
"It seems interesting that here you have Todd Akin, kind of a hard-core conservative might actually be, could have been the swing vote to overturn Obamacare and the plan might actually stay in place because of his horrific statements," said Christian Schneider, of the Wisconsin Policy Research Institute, a conservative think-tank.But the Republican Party of Wisconsin Vice-Chair says his party will have the nation thinking only about the troubled economy and a troubled President by the end of next week. "Think about this, even before you get to a national party convention, where, you know, supposedly you get a bump out of that, you've got a tied race or maybe the incumbents a little bit behind. That's a disaster," said Brian Schimming.But Democrats Kathleen Falk and Scot Ross say the Republicans have created their own disaster with Akin, and their extreme views on women's health issues. "We talked about 67 pieces of legislation designed to restrict a woman's right to choose introduced at the congressional level, and yet they've refused to have one, one vote on the President's American Jobs Act, which is about reinvesting in tax credits for businesses that are creating jobs," said Ross, of the progressive group One Wisconsin Now.Kathleen Falk says she still believes Americans are looking for more help from the government, not the free-market based solutions Republicans have proposed."There's a role for government in making our lives better with a common ground of values and then there's a role where government or a political party, Democrat or Republican, shouldn't be making those fundamental rights of privacy choices when it comes to health care," said Falk, the former Dane County Executive.
Capitol City Sunday airs at 9:00 a.m., right after This Week with George Stephanopoulos.

West Virginia's educational system ranks fourth-worst in the nation for the second straight year. Child-welfare advocates say lack of quality pre-kindergarten programs for 3-year-olds is partly to blame.
The annual KIDS COUNT report released Monday says nearly two-thirds of the state's 3- and 4-year-olds weren't enrolled in preschool programs in 2011. It also says that 73 percent of fourth-graders weren't proficient in reading, while 79 percent of eighth-graders weren't proficient in math. And 22 percent of students didn't graduate high school on time in the 2009-10 school year. All of those measures are up slightly from the previous report. But KIDS COUNT still ranks West Virginia 47th overall in education.

Team moves: three ways to protect your business
When key employees leave to join a competitor, employers often risk losing other team members to the new employer too. Following a recent spate of cases, Nabarro summarises here three ways for employers to protect against such team moves.
Use garden-leave clauses because they permit an employer to keep a departing employee out of the business and prevent employees from competing with the company or soliciting its employees, or assisting others to do so. Ensure key employees are subject to clear, consistent restrictive covenants that have been tailored to their roles and the business that they work in. Re-enforce restrictive covenants in any settlement agreement by making part of the settlement, particularly rights to unvested shares, conditional on compliance with restrictive covenants.
Each of these are considered in turn below…

Get ready for an awesome weekend of carving the groom under bluebird skies at Mt. Hood Meadows! If you haven't been up yet, you only have yourself to blame as our grooming team has been laying down some incredible groom for your enjoyment. The video, and comments from our guests, show how much fun carving at Meadows is!
Video by Pierce Hodges.
Comments from our pass holders:
"Groomers have done an amazing job in December/January with so little snow."
"The parks are awesome."
"You guys have done a great job considering the snow isn't that great."
"Although it has been a sad snow year I think the groomers have done a great job of making the mountain fun anyway. I have had a great time every time I've been up there!"
We'll see you on the mountain - this weekend!
If you're up Saturday check out the Safety Fair! This event encourages skiers and riders of all abilities to share the trails, stay in control and be educated about mountain safety. The Safety Village will be set up in the base area, with prizes, giveaways, music, booths from Wentworth Subaru, Costco, and Clif Bar, and Mighty Meadows making a guest appearance for the kids! There will also be hot cocoa in the Patrol Hut, so you can stop by, see the inside of the hut, and get some questions answered by our ski patrollers. Our avalanche dogs will also be making appearances through-out the day in the Safety Village, so bring your camera and plan to get a picture and a few wet kisses from the pups!
What's it going to take to get Heather Lift open? Can it be opened without grooming the runout to HRM lot?Meadows: More snow. We have to build snow bridges over the creeks. We meed egress from the Canyon before we could open it.
What do you mean by "egress?" Also, do you think it will be open by next week after this storm?Meadows: Thanks Jordan. By egress I mean "exit". Without the bridges over the creek, we can't build the road out of the canyon, which also provides us access into the canyon (such as emergency response).
