'Enough is enough'
Abdalla: Hackers are attacking the innocent
January 5, 2013
STEUBENVILLE — A visibly angry Jefferson County Sheriff Fred Abdalla said Friday night his department and other agencies are now investigating an unofficial Anonymous member who has claimed credit......
It is stunning to the civilized world outside of this town that the vast majority of Steubenville seems far more concerned with their own reputation and convenience as a town that on the rape. If there are any men in Steubenville they are cowards.
Here is what the attorney for one of the charged said:
"Because she was silent doesn't mean she was objecting," Madison said.
This is what these people are about, this Sheriff is tired of the publicity. Maybe, failure Sheriff, if you had done your job and not allowed the local attorney / mother to attempt to silence the victim then people would believe you.
The person who is most successful in outlining your failure is you. You talk and talk about how you have done nothing wrong, but hit scribe wasn't even taken seriously until Anonymous did your job.
Your town is a filled with shame and it is earned. Still waiting for one man to stand up and be a man. The victim is getting death threats. That's all you need to know this town.

if this isn;t abdallah's case, why is he holding daily interviews with media on the case.
secondly why have all his statements in the last 24 hours on record been so inconsistent?

Abdalla is an absolute embarrassment. "They had the investigation into this incident wrapped up in four or five days after the rape was reported to them in August." I'm glad he's proud of such amazing police work. Clearly others were involved in this horrible rape, yet only two arrests were made. Clearly outstanding police work. I am no fan of Anonymous but at least they are attempting to dig up the real perpetrators in this case, without worrying about the precious football team. Abdalla is more concerned about Anonymous than he is with this vile and disgusting case of rape and a sick community mentality of football above all else.

"But when you attack innocent people and young children, I am coming after you," Abdalla declared.....Sheriff...this young lady was attacked..she was innocent...where were you? and where are you now?

Silly me, when Abdalla said "enough is enough" I thought he was talking about rape. No, he's talking about Anonymous who had to step in and do his job for him.

ignorance is bliss,and you 15 minute of famers are glowing. Sheriff Abdalla is doing all that the law requires. on the other hand, you people that are permitted to make comments ,with no repercushins are only allowed to do so because of the first amendment. there is no cure for stupid, but some of us are not allowed to uthanize you. I've lived and worked in this valley for many years successfully. If those of you, can't stand it here,LEAVE!!!!

Crack journalism team here at the Herald. Ugh. Is the newspaper part of the vast town conspiracy too? Are there ANY good people in your town??? Where is the article exposing your Prosecuting Attorney and her many conflicts of interest? Where are other articles abut "The Spot", underage drinking, rape, etc. What a joke of a "newspaper".

Steubenville is more concerned with the scrutiny from the "outside world" than justice for the victim. Why is it rape cases, the guys are always cool and it's always the girl's fault? I say justice for the victim and have 100 rallies until it is achieved. I am grateful for the New York Times shedding "light" on this whole issue and anonymous for spreading the light. Who are the "innocent" children affected? Maybe we should let the "innocent" rapists go free so they can assault these "innocent" children at future parties or school events! Put ALL the perperters in jail. Steubenville has flown under the radar of reality for too long. Time to face the music, I think Bill O'Reilly or Gretta or Geraldo needs to show up next!!!!!! I don't mean covering the story in New York studio either, show up in town!!!

The job of Sheriff is to protect and serve the public under his jurisdiction. I see his angry interview as an act of diversion. He is not the problem. The problem is that a young woman was raped and her boastful attackers and their co-conspiritors (those that owned the house, supplied the alcohol and drugs, those that witnessed and said nothing) were protected from penalty. The cat is outta the bag now, people are angry, and all this attention is the result.

This kind of small town intrigue is why I don't live in a small town. How can the mothers/girls/women in this town not march right down the middle of the street, demanding the truth. Demanding the longest sentence possible and then putting ankle monitors on them and making them go to work and go home everyday for the the next decade or so. They aren't worth spending $60,000 a year to imprison them when they have an entire town and electronic reports being monitored in real time.
With this monitor, we can identify any victims in the future unless his family brings one in(?).
This is not just these boys fault. What kind of men have been influencing the boys in this town?
Ladies, stand up for your sisters. March down the street and tell the boys in your town that you won't stand for it. If you are frightened alone, stand with others and give it the good fight. Women don't have to put up with this kind of behavior anymore. Go online and get yourself a hand tazer and mace

Sheriff Abdalla needs to be fired - now. All of the coaches too - you host parties where your players rape girls? You should all be ashamed - you are disgusting, sick people. And do these children have parents? Where are their mothers? You have raised monsters.

DISGUSTING; going after the group that blew the lid off the COVER UP. Not one word in the press conference' about the ADULT, CAUCASIAN attackers, and more arrests. The Sheriff is an accessory also. Why isn't he investigating the brutal battery on a CHILD? Instead, he wants to protect the MAGGOTS that battered the child!
NORDIANOS admitted his part in the CRIME(S), spoke of children murdered in Florida; why hasn't he been arrested?

"I know where he lives. I know his name, his mother's name, his father's name, his brother's name."
Is it just me, or does the Sheriff Abdalla's remarks regarding this individual's family sound like a veiled threat against the mother, father, and brother?

Terminations are definitely in order for Steubenville, beginning with this Sheriff, Hanlin, the high school and assistant high school coaches, the police department, the employees who failed to retrieve evidence from mobile phones and other electronic devices (and shame on Channel 9 news for not originally reporting the story). A grand jury is the only hope to save Steubenville from its horrendous reputation across the US for protecting gang rapists instead of prosecuting them for the brutal rape of a teen girl. Shame on Steubenville and shame on Michael Nodianos's parents for providing him with an attorney instead of making him turn himself into the police to at least give a statement. What are they teaching their other son?

Interesting: "when you do a hatchet job on children..."
He oughta know. That's EXACTLY what him, Mamma of a Rape Crew Member aka City Prosecutor J. Hanlin, the coaches on the team, and these tough guys on the football team did to the poor victim that they brutalized.

The video of teens laughing and joking about the rape is despicable and disgusting, our hearts go out to the young girl and her family.
Since these boys apparently took nude photos of the young girl without her permission, and sent them over the internet, that might legally constitute child ****. We hope federal law enforcement will consider getting involved. Hopefully anyone with information will contact law enforcement.

I'm not from Steubenville originally but grew up 45 minutes away. After graduate school, I decided to locate here because of proximity to my job. What I heard as a kid was that the town was known for 2 things: 1.) Shootings and 2.) HS Football. - There are good people in Steubenville..helpful neighbors, and caring citizens. There are, however, indecent and corrupt officials. Reno is no better than Paterno and his threats, reckless behavior, and anger prove that he is not in a place mentally to mentor our youth. The sheriff is corrupt, angry, and out of touch. If I didn't do my job, I'd lose it. Perhaps its time to retire silently and go into the golden years of your life. The prosecutor who's son is involved..where is she? Lastly, if I made a video 1/8 as bad as that Michael did, my father would have shot me or moved me into a church...may God have mercy on your souls and may the heads of the School board, football staff, and justice departments roll ever so fast down a tumultuos hill

I sometimes admit that I am from Ohio. I now live elsewhere. I've made a wonderful life for myself. I'd like to say that one of the reasons I made it here was the experience I had as a 14 year old little girl on the cheerleading team in Circleville, Ohio who went through the same...or "allegedly" , similar experience as the one this poor girl has endured. I can honestly say that in some sick way, I will love that day. I learned crudely just how disgusting humans can be. The way the boys who raped me were protected, due to their ever so important status as star athletes at the local high school...and the silence of the other girls I knew it had also happened to...made it clear to me how twisted that community was...so, I ran. You are right, Sheriff, this is going to stop. We will stop creating an environment of entitlement that encourages the immature idea that you are invincible if you are a star athlete in a small town. I'm not running anymore.

what if we just told everyone our stories? what if we all just screamed at the top of our lungs... "I was raped!" what if we just put it out there and told everyone it doesn't matter...threw it in their faces and laughed...laughed at the men who want it to matter...to matter so much that it breaks us...what if instead we stand up and said..."I was raped" and screamed in their faces that they'd never know what its like to live fully...and instead of breaking us, they gave us a gift they never could have conceived of tip toeing on the brink of possessing themselves...that out of that awful thing they tried to do to us..that most revealing act that proved to themselves just how despicable they are and how miserable their lives would always be...if out of that they made us realize our strength.

This is disgusting everyone that participated both in the act and wittnessd it without helping or reporting the crime should be charged. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THE VICTIM, NOT THE FOOTBALL TEAM IT'S COACHES OR THE PROSECUTER AND HER SON.

I cannot remember the last time I ever felt the need to expound on a situation as much as I have regarding this recent rape case in Steubenville, OH. I apologize for the length of this and appreciate any of you who read the whole thing; it's a need to vent.
Recently, the purported events surrounding an inhumane attack against a 16 year old girl via a group of her peers has moved many to come forth and vocalize their disgust for such acts. As a result, 2 protests have taken place and a candlelight vigil is to be held in memory of rape victims. As a lifelong Ohio Valley resident, this incident brings to light the culture of the entire Upper Ohio Valley Region – not just Steubenville, Ohio. Many persons have either written or verbally protested against Steubenville High School's administrators, coaches, football team, board of education members, city officials, county officials, and the lack of what seemingly is objective reporting by local news media. The sad fact is that this is some

Teton River conservation easement finalized
A new conservation easement will preserve nearly 400 acres along the Teton River valley, including three quarters of a mile of the riverbank itself.
The Teton Regional Land Trust said the property, known as the Three Forks Ranch, lies along a stretch of the river between the Bates Bridge and the Idaho Fish and Game Department Access at "Big Eddy". The land is owned by Nancy Hamill Winter and her family.
The easement will forever protect the land from subdivision and large scale development. Idaho Fish and Game Department Upper Snake Regional Supervisor Steve Schmidt said the Three Forks Ranch easement and other protected parcels around it conserve important habitat for many wildlife species including elk, moose, Columbian sharp-tailed grouse, bald eagle, and Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout.
The Land Trust said the property is one of the few remaining gaps in the protected land already conserved along the Teton River. There are a cluster of 16 other easements that now create seven miles of uninterrupted river protection.

Navajos, Cuba Strike Unprecedented Trade Deal

Navajos, Cuba Strike Unprecedented Trade Deal
Navajos, Cuba Strike Unprecedented Trade Deal
by Michelle Chen
Sept. 4 - The Navajo Nation has negotiated an unprecedented trade pact with Cuba, signaling an effort by the tribe to strengthen its sovereign status through economic outreach.
Under the trade agreement, the Navajo Agricultural Products Industry, the
tribe's farm production center in New Mexico, will sell grains, fruit, beans
and other produce directly to Cuba. The agreement was signed on a recent trade mission to the Caribbean nation by representatives of the Navajo people and the state of New Mexico.
The US agricultural sector enjoys an exception to the strict trade embargo
on Cuba, which is driven by hostility toward the regime of leader Fidel
Castro. Under the Trade Sanctions Reform and Export Enhancement Act of 2000, Cuba's national food-import agency, Alimport, can purchase American agricultural products through cash-only trade deals.
The new agreement, which awaits final approval by the Navajo Nation Council, reflects the tribe's growing initiative to engage other parts of the
Americas through trade and exchange. Navajo President Joe Shirley Jr. said in a press release that forging commercial ties with Cuba was a milestone because it involved "the recognition of the Navajo Nation as a nation - a nation within a nation. That's just the way it should be."
But Shirley also noted that the deal could potentially reap millions of
dollars for the Navajo. Since the embargo was loosened, Cuba's agricultural purchases from the United States have exceeded $1 billion.
According to the tribe's estimates, over half of the Navajo population lives
below the poverty line, and more than 40 percent are unemployed.
"We're a sovereign nation and we need to do everything we can to get back on our own two feet," Shirley said.
In addition to providing food resources to Cuba, the Navajo Nation has also offered technological assistance to other indigenous nations. Last November, the tribe became a party to the United Nations organization Observatory for Cultural and Audiovisual Communication, which helps develop communications infrastructures in native communities.
Recently, the Navajo have partnered with the Brazilian Inter-Tribal
Committee to bring networking technology to indigenous peoples in Brazil.
The Navajo Nation has since 2002 built up a wireless network that enables
free internet access across its tribal territory, spanning Arizona, New
Mexico and Utah.

Minister Farrakhan addresses Navajo Nation Council
In The Name of Allah, The Beneficent, The Merciful.
Mr. President, honorable member of the House of Delegates and to each of you, it is a great honor for me to be among you this morning. The last person I want to introduce is YoNasDa Lonewolf-McCall Muhammad. Her mother is a full-blood Oglala Sioux from Pine Ridge, South Dakota. Her father was Black. You can look at her and see that there was some mixture, but she grew up with her mother teaching her the way of the Indigenous Native American people.All her life, she and her mother have wanted the see the coming together of the Black and the Red nations. Her mother worked toward this end for most of her life. She passed away two years ago but I am sure, at this moment, her mother is with great joy seeing her daughter working to facilitate the coming together of the Black and the Red.YoNasDa contacted the Navajo Nation to see if a meeting could take place between President Joe Shirley and myself.
Pres. Shirley, being the very open, warm-hearted person that is always trying to reach out to kith and kin, to others that will be helpful to him and the Navajo Nation, agreed to meet with me. He and his First Lady Vikki Shirley came to Phoenix, Arizona, where I have a home. They brought the Chief of Staff and the Information Officer George Hardeen and security. We met and had dinner for about four to five hours. At that time, he invited me to come to put my foot down on sacred land in the Navajo Nation.We do not recognize any division between Sioux, Navajo, Hopi, Cree, Chikapee, Iroquois or Seminole. You are really one nation, but as long as you see yourself as only a small part of that nation, you become a minority. When you are a minority, you begin to think like a minority.But if you understand that, as people of color, we outnumber others 11 to 1 on our Planet, then you are an international people who must not think simply in terms of yourself and other Native Americans.
You have Indigenous people that look just like you in Mongolia; you have people that look just like you in parts of Asia, Central America, South America and the Caribbean.You are a great people and you need to think more of contacting all of the members of your family because all of the family members are suffering; and all of the family members desire to come together in unity so that together we can address the problems and challenges that we face.
Mother Tynnetta Muhammad's husband, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, who is my teacher and spiritual father, his aim was always to unite the Black, the Red and Latino family. All of us who have sojourned under slavery and oppression have been corrupted to a degree that we all need to be purified of the dross of inferior thinking, which makes Native Americans sometimes think that you are inferior to the one who took the land from you and brought us to America.
We are the descendants of slaves. We did not come like the Pilgrims, on the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria. We came in the hulls of ships. So here we are with common problems and a common destiny.I want to talk to you from my heart to your heart. I do not come before you with notes scripted, so I am going to look you in your eye and I want you to look me in mine. You know deceit when you hear it, or you should after all these years of false treaties, broken treaties and broken promises.
Put your great Native American sensitivity on my mouth, heart and mind. I hope that you will see that I am not a stranger. I am your Brother. I am your kith. I am your kin. I have come to establish that relationship with the greatest of the Indigenous people in America, the Navajo Nation. But from this, we must unite all Indigenous people to address the challenges that we face as a people.Some Black people may own their homes, but it is on a street that we do not own, in a county that we have no ownership, in a city that we have no ownership. Black people in America are almost totally landless. When I set my foot down on the sacred ground of Navajo land, everywhere I looked, I saw land owned by you. I did not come to a poor people, because when you own land, it is better than having a dollar.
The U.S. dollar is fading in terms of its real value, but the land will never lose its value. If we take care of Mother Earth, then Mother Earth will take care of us.The Bible begins with the Book of Genesis. Genesis means the beginning or the birth of. You and I were born onto land that the Creator gave to us. The scripture said, He made man in His own image and after His likeness. So we are born to master, not serve, the land on which you have come to birth. So the scripture said He gave man duties in these words: multiply, replenish the earth and subdue it.
So we have to operate on the base principle of multiplication.Every human being is born with the innate ability that must be cultivated through education to make us all producers of the things that we need. Nature has made every creature to seek what the Creator has put in nature to provide what we need to exist. If we are not producers, then we are consumers; and it is natural for the producer to look down on the consumer as less than himself. You are going to them to suffice your needs when you have 27,000 square miles of Navajo land over which you exercise some degree of control.When you were born on Navajo land, you came to the earth with everything that you needed to master your environment.
Your ancestors conquered hostile environments. They were fierce and proud because they did not shrink from anything that nature presented them as a challenge. They overcame every challenge to make nature subordinate to them.Your ancestors took the skin from animals to make clothing and homes because it was their duty to provide food, clothing, shelter and protection.President Shirley said to us yesterday, We once were a great people. We were proud. We were fierce. We were strong, but something happened. What happened? Today, we are dependent on federal dollars. If the U.S. government cuts back on what it promised to give or it fails to give what it promised to give, then we feel it did not live up to its promise, but now we are suffering because of government neglect.But we are also suffering from self-neglect because, if the government has a responsibility to feed dollars into the Navajo nation, then where does the money go? The businesses that I saw, and I saw many, looked prosperous and thriving. I asked how many of them are owned by the Navajo people and the answer was about five percent. If 95 percent are owned by others, when you trade with those who are not Navajo, then they take your money out of Navajo land, and your money does not circulate amongst yourselves so that you can build institutions on Navajo land to benefit the Navajo people.
We are suffering the same thing in Black America. We have degrees, but we are not building factories to provide the needs of our people. We are looking for others to provide for us, and then get upset because they do not respect us.No one will respect a people who are non-productive. You win respect by doing that which the Creator put us here to do. We come to the earth knowing nothing, so the duty of every human being is the acquisition of knowledge. That is what separates man from beast. With the acquisition of knowledge, you use what the Creator gave you, multiply it with what knowledge He gave you, and produce a product that serves the needs of our people. This is where the Black and Red nations have failed.You are a very rich people because you have land under your feet that is crying for development, so that we can produce the necessities for our people. Is it normal that every Council delegate Larry Anderson of Fort Defiance: Brother Farrakhan, but today we are still not respected. We are still put down.
They will not allow us to cross that imaginary line. They will not allow us to march forward, to tell them that we are a free people. Brother Farrakhan, you must understand the Indigenous people as way of life and I do thank you for expressing that. But we continue to still live in the apathy of the minority people here, and the majority of the people here who still control all of this around us will not allow us to stand up.Minister Farrakhan: Thank you. My Brother, with due respect to everything that you have said, I can agree with you that they will not allow, but it is not what they will not allow; it is what we will permit.
Our goal is to free the Navajo Nation and Black people and oppressed people all over the world from the thinking that we are less, inferior and cannot accomplish what we will. Yes, they will not allow but we must determine that we will not permit their disallowance of us feeding, clothing and sheltering ourselves.You are a nation. Pres. Shirley said to me that, if you borrowed money from the U.S. government, he feels you could pay back at least 30 million a year. If the U.S. government does not want to loan you the money to give yourself a push, there are foreign nations of your kith and kin that will not only loan you the money, they might give you the money, in order to see the Navajo Nation rise and not be dependent on casinos, but be dependent on what you produce. You have great intelligence among you. You are not ignorant people.
Tap your resources and then establish friendships all around the world.America should be ashamed after taking the land from the Indigenous people that they would allow the Indigenous people to have oil on this land, gas coming through it, electricity flowing over it and Indigenous people on the land living in darkness without heat or without water. This is criminal. Therefore it takes strong leadership. You must not be fearful because your ancestors were not afraid of the hostility of the environment politically.I would hope and pray that you would back those ideas that will lift the Navajo Nation and unite the Navajo Nation with the Indigenous people.As your Black American Brothers and Sisters, we hope that this will be a beginning where we work together to lift both people to where the Creator wanted us to be, by making us a productive people.
Your young people will salute you because you laid a foundation on which they can build. Criminal and gang activity can stop when productive activity begins in earnest on Navajo land. You are a great nation, rise up and show the world.

PHOENIX (AP) - The Diocese of Phoenix is denying a report that the Roman Catholic bishop of Phoenix is headed to the Vatican.
Rob DeFrancesco told The Associated Press on Sunday that a report in an Italian newspaper that Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted was going to Rome for a Vatican post is false.
Italy's La Stampa recently reported that Olmsted was slated to become secretary of the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life. That office oversees religious orders in the world.
Officials say Olmsted was in Rome this weekend for a meeting.
Olmsted was appointed bishop of Phoenix in 2003, replacing Bishop Thomas J. O'Brien.

Hi, I'm Stefano and I would like to know if there is a method to handle the lockscreen.
I wish that when I unlock the black screen of the mobile phone (Nokia N9), opens in a Qt application (which I created), but I do not know code to handle the lock screen.
The application is simply an application that when you unlock the phone, to enter the menu of the smartphone (Nokia N9), it asks you for the password, it is a security application for your phone.
Thanks to all
I solved in this way:
I have included this in the main.qml file:
I have add this code on main.qml file:Code:import QtMobility.sensors 1.2 import QtMobility.location 1.1 import QtMobility.systeminfo 1.2
Code:DeviceInfo { monitorLockStatusChanges: true onLockStatusChanged: { if (!isDeviceLocked) { //console.log("show") QmlApplicationViewer.show(); } }

Great die cut! As always expected from Spellbinders the quality is high!
Love these..... and Love Scrapbook.com ! thank you !
These make really fantastic shapes, I love that about them. There's just one problem: paper gets stuck in them and it's really hard to get out. The first time I tried them out was a bit of a fiasco; the card I used stuck in them and I had to rip it out. They're much better with paper.

A valley woman can't wait to get on the ground in New York and start making a difference. She'll be volunteering at least three weeks with the Red Cross.
"It's hard to sit at home and watch everything on TV and not feel like I'm doing anything, so this way I feel like I'm doing something," said Michelle Maki.
Red Cross volunteer Michelle Maki is looking forward to her trip to White Plains, NY on Monday.
"It's not gonna be pretty but my main focus are the folks that need help," said Maki.
Maki will continue her duties as a public information officer but has also been selected to drive an emergency response vehicle.
She's prepared for freezing temperatures and uncomfortable sleeping conditions.
Maki said volunteers are seting up shelters, providing meals, helping residents cleanup and most importantly, giving emotional support.
"You're helping these folks, you're helping them through the recovery process and sometimes really that's what they want, someone to listen to their story," said Maki.
Maki said she and all of the Red Cross volunteers live for opportunities to help, even though they don't get paid.
"You know, when I get that hug from someone, that's my paycheck," said Maki.

The owners of the Ix property in Charlottesville are moving forward with plans to unearth a hidden waterway.
The creek was buried many years ago to make way for streets and other development. Daylighting the creek is all part of the property owner's plan for a creative space that draws people together.
Charlottesville vice mayor Kristin Szakos said, "As we look at developments in some cases we are trying to daylight some of those streams. There are a lot of places in town if you lean down to the grate in the street you can hear water running underneath and that is not drainage on a dry day, that is a stream running underground."
The property owners hope to begin construction in the spring and have the park space available to the community by summer.

LG... Life's Good
LAPT Punta del Este
I just had a nice and relaxing week at home in Melbourne, Australia after a whirlwind trip to Uruguay for the PokerStars.net Latin American Poker Tour in the awesome beachside party town of Punta del Este earlier this month. The LAPT's are notorious for having fast-paced final tables, but I rarely see one over in less than five hours! That's what happened when Alex Komolomi entered the final table of eight with 35% of the chips in play. He dominated his way to heads-up in just over three hours, and after a couple of unscheduled breaks and one chip-lead swap that only lasted a few minutes, we had a winner in lightning speed. The great part was that Komolomi was a local, not only being the first Uruguayan LAPT champion, but also winning it on his home turf. He was so nervous after his win that he politely requested he do his interviews after calming down for half an hour! What a sweetheart. As the event was drawing to a close with just the eight players returning for the fourth day of play, we put together a little string of highlights, taking out the hardwork for you if you failed to follow along at the time, rolling all the fun into one video.
The Mantra Resort, where the LAPT was held, was amazing. It is the middle of winter right now and freezing cold in Uruguay, but the sun came out to say hello on one of the days while Christian de Leon was drowning his sorrows after an unsuccessful LAPT. This was my favorite interview of the entire week simply because of the setting. You'll notice that it's not a PokerNews video, but actually a PokerStars.tv video, which the team here at PokerNews also produce.
Once the tournament ended it would have been a waste to come all this way and then just go straight home, so I added a couple of days to relax before the long journey back to Australia. Angel Guillen and I headed over to Buenos Aires for two days. I had no idea how amazing that place is. Leo Fernandez said to us one morning when convincing us to go "it's like Paris" at which Angel laughed, but now I understand why he said that. Argentinians are like the French, the walk with so much confidence and are so well dressed - and I didn't see a single overweight person there! Jose Ignacio Barbero took us to his "favourite restaurant in the whole world" - Osaka. It's in the heart of the stunning Palermo area and is a combination of Japanese and Peruvian food. It was incredible! He also recommended Guido's - a little Italian restaurant right by our hotel (across from the zoo so it was a bit of a stinky walk). You don't get given a menu here, you just get fed anything and everything the owner feels like feeding you! As you're sitting down the appetisers are already coming, and all the meals are like home-cooked Nona's specialties. It was so cosy inside, I loved it!

HISTORY OF VAN MELLE The story began in 1900 in Breskens, where Izaak van Melle started converting the bakery founded 60 years earlier by his grandfather into a small confectionery factory. It only took him a few years to transform the small family concern into a thriving company. Towards the end of the Second World War the Breskens factory was destroyed, and the company was forced to move to Rotterdam. After a few months of settling in, it was business as usual. The famous Mentos and Fruittella brands began to grow in volume and distribution range. It was at this time that modern stick and roll formats appeared. The company expanded rapidly, spreading around the globe. The company focused on the qualitative improvement of its products and adopted a strategy for international expansion based on its expertise in "supplying superior quality products to quality markets". Several European countries (France, Belgium and Germany) soon became the setting for commercial units which, supplied by the Rotterdam factory, created an efficient distribution network. In just a few years, Van Melle would succeed in taking the freshness and taste of its unmistakeable brands to the most remote corners of the earth. In the 1980's, Van Melle decided to relocate its main factory to Breda, where the greater space allowed its productive capacity to increase. Immediately afterwards the company broadened its product range, orientating its interest towards candies for children through the acquisition of large companies, such as Gebr, Verdujin, Look-O-Look and Peco. It was also during this period that Van Melle started its far-reaching international expansion by opening commercial units and factories in Brazil, the USA, Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines. Its growth in other international markets continued throughout the 1990's with the opening of the eastern European borders. During this time the company set up commercial facilities across the whole region and built a production unit in Poland. In the late nineties Van Melle set its sights on the emerging Asian markets, where it once again displayed remarkable operational foresight. As well as creating commercial units, the company also set up large-scale production facilities in Indonesia, China and India. To improve its home market position Van Melle acquired Klene, a Dutch company famous for its liquorice products.

Early Morning at St John's Antigua Harbor. Cruise ships dock at Heritage Quay by downtown St. John's.
Redcliffe Quay
Redcliffe Quay, sited just next to the cruise dock, is an historic area, with many old dockside warehouses now converted into welcoming shops. In Georgian times this was the main trading place in Antigua for slaves, rum, coffee and sugar. (The name, Redcliffe, comes from a district of Bristol, UK, whose port was a major participant in the triangular trade). When you need some refreshment, visit on of the many characterful bars and cafes set back from the quay under the cool shade of palm trees.
St. John's Cathedral
St. John's Cathedral provides a fascinating insight into the island's history. The first church on the site was constructed from wood in the mid 17th century. This was then replaced with one made from brick, which was later destroyed in the huge earthquake of 1843. A new cathedral was constructed with a unique 'double skin' to protect in from earthquakes and hurricanes. Note the bronze statues on the south gate – these were stolen from a French ship by the British Royal navy. The cathedral is a short walk from the dock.
Dickinson Beach
Antigua's tag line is '365 beaches to choose from' , so you wonder what locals do on a leap day! Dickinson Beach is one of the busiest beaches on the island. It's a lovely long swathe of fine white sand, dotted at intervals with beach bars and restaurants. There are lots of watersports on offer including jet skis, parasailing and hobie boats. About a 5 minute cab journey north from St John's cruise port.
Deep Bay Beach
Another classic Caribbean beach with soft white sand and blue calm water just a five minute cab ride from the port is Deep Bay beach. The beach has a more relaxed vibe than Dickinson's, but all the essential facilities are on hand. Strong swimmers will enjoy criss-crossing the bay, and snorkelers can investigate the rock outcrops at either end of the beach.
English Harbor
English Harbor dates back to the mid 18th century, when the British Royal Navy had anything up to 15 warships stationed here. Today, some of the original buildings remain in their original state, whilst others have been restored. Aside from historic interest, Nelson's Dockyard Village has a wealth of bars and restaurants to choose from, where you can mingle with the throngs of yachtsmen (and women) ashore from one of the amazing yachts moored at the extensive marina. English Harbor is about a 40 minute cab ride from St. John's. Or if you fancy mingling with the locals, take the bus from St Johns West Bus Station.

|Vilas Board OKs 4 night meetings; location may move
By Ken Anderson
News Correspondent
After a long meeting going into mid-afternoon last Tuesday, the Vilas County Board approved new standing rules that add four county board meetings a year to include four evening sessions.
The proposed standing rules were amended a number of times, with most of the debate over having evening meetings four times a year and if some meetings could be held in communities other than Eagle River.
In the end, it was decided there would be four additional county board meetings a year with evening meetings in May, July, September and October starting at 6:30 p.m.Meetings will be on

Getting Started
If you're new to bike commuting, going by pedal-power may seem a little intimidating. Here are a few tips to get you on a bike and on your way to a better commute:
Step 1: Find a bike that's right for you
With so many styles and sizes to choose from, finding a bike that's right for you can seem overwhelming. Being comfortable on your bike is the most important thing, so try stopping by a local bike shop and testing out different styles and sizes. Talk with the shop attendant about how you'll be using the bike (Commuting? Grocery shopping?), and they'll be able to tell you your frame size and suggest different bikes to try. If shopping for a bike still seems intimidating, ask a bike-minded friend, family member, or co-worker to go with you when you look at bikes; they'll know what to ask and look for in a bicycle. Once you've tried a few different bikes and have a better idea of what you want, you'll be ready to buy a new or used bike that's perfect for you!
Step 2: Plan your route to UW
There are many resources to help you find a great bike route to campus:
Googlemaps now provides bicycle directions! Enter your start and end points and let Google do the rest.
Ride the City gives you three different routes to choose from. Just decide whether you want a "Direct," "Safe," or "Safer" route.
Commuter Services' Route Planning page contains additional route planning tools and information.
Once you decide on a route, test it out! Try your new route on a weekend before your first commute to campus. There should be fewer cars out, and you'll get an idea of what to expect from your route during a regular commute. Consider asking a friend or co-worker who already bikes to ride with you the first few times.
Step 3: Know where to park your bike at UW
The UW campus is home to over 5,500 bicycle parking spaces, including racks, lockers, rooms, and houses. If you have questions about parking your bicycle at a specific building, contact the building coordinator to see what your bicycle parking options are.
Step 4: Accessorize
In addition to your bicycle, certain accessories are required by law, and others will make your experience on a bike much more enjoyable. Here are our "Top 5" recommended accessories:
Helmet: the law requires you to wear a helmet when biking. Helmets are designed to prevent injury from a single impact, so replace your helmet if it absorbs a major impact. Helmets should be replaced every 3-5 years due to materials degradation. Discounted helmets are available through Hall Health.
Lights: the law requires you to have a white front light and red rear reflector when riding at night, but why not have more?! We recommend a solid white front light, a second blinking white front light, and at least one blinking red rear light to go with your rear reflector. Discounted lights are available through Hall Health.
U-Lock: a stolen bike will ruin your day, so protect your bike by locking it up with a high-quality U-Lock. Discounted U-Locks are available through Hall Health. Learn about proper locking techniques here.
Fenders: keep your bike, body, and the folks riding behind you dry by investing in full front and rear fenders!
Bike Bell: politely alert pedestrians and slower-moving bicyclists that you're about to overtake them by ringing your bell. Ringing your bell makes you more predictable as a rider, which makes it safer for folks around you. Discounted bells are available through Hall Health.
Step 5: Attire-ize
Just because it's wet outside, doesn't mean you have to be. Keep yourself warm and dry by investing in rain gear for fall and winter riding:
Rain jacket: look for something waterproof, light, and breathable. Jackets designed for biking also usually have a "flap" that protects your backside from the elements.
Rain pants: look for something water-proof, breathable, and that won't restrict your movement. Rain pants designed for biking often have built-in reflectors for improved night-time visibility.
Gloves: keep your fingers warm and dry! Gloves are a must, especially for winter riding.
Cap: take care of your head and ears by covering them up with a cap. Caps designed for biking typically fit under a helmet and have built-in flaps or bands that cover your ears. Also a must for winter riding.
Booties: don't get cold feet. Waterproof booties will keep your feet warm and dry. These low-cost wonders fit over most shoe styles and are easy to slip on and off.
Step 6: Register your bicycle with UWPD
Losing your bike stinks. Register your bike with UWPD, and if your bike is stolen and later acquired by UWPD, they'll return it to you.
The tips on this page are by no means exhaustive. If you have questions or comments about these or other aspects of bike commuting, feel free to contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com. Interested in taking your bike skills to the next level? Consider signing up for Commuter Services' Bike Classes taught by certified instructors from Cascade Bicycle Club. Enjoy the ride!

Video and lighting intertwined to create the visual palette for the world premiere of Architecture of Loss, a new piece by choreographer Stephen Petronio seen during his New York season at The Joyce Theatre in March. "I am credited as the visual designer, which means I designed a delivery system comprising the design of images and the placement of the screens and projectors," explains Ken Tabachnick, dean of the school of the arts at Purchase College, SUNY, who has also been Petronio's lighting designer for decades. "In this way, I can conceive of the entire visual picture working with a video person. I am able to alter color and pacing to make sure the projections blend with the way the lighting is working and don't overpower the choreography. This creates a more integrated process than just having video in the background. We can establish a narrative and visual arc for the video and then mold the lighting accordingly."
In Architecture of Loss, projected paintings scroll and change color on three upstage screens. "I added pink to the light when it was added to the video as well," explains Tabachnick, who used Lee Filters 104 (Deep Amber) and Lee 110 (Middle Rose) in ETC Source Fours to echo the introduction of color in the video for a unified look in the dance and images. "There is a shift in the piece—the music gets faster—and color is introduced and paves the way for the duets later in the piece. Sections one, two, and three have no color; four, five, six have color; seven, eight, nine transition back to no color."
Tabachnick also used PAR backlights (PAR strips in the Joyce light plot) plus wide PAR64s as special backlight in the world premiere, focused in a very specific way, high back diagonal to cast shadows in specific directions, to match angled design of the choreography. "Generally speaking, there is no rep plot for Stephen's company, and the lighting is different from piece to piece," says Tabachnick. "I try to stay tuned to what Stephen is doing in any given year and to my reaction to it."
Tabachnick, Petronio, and The Joyce are all old friends, having "known" each other for decades. "The Joyce has a rep plot we modify depending on the pieces we are doing," notes Tabachnick. "Stephen has only a few pieces he tours every year, so we can tailor each year's plot to fit that work. When lighting Architecture of Loss, I knew what the lighting was for City of Twist, an older piece also on the program."
The lighting for City of Twist, Petronio's response to 9/11, is "conceptually simple," says Tabachnick. "For City of Twist, Roscolux 53 [Pale Lavender] is used in ETC Source Fours, overhead from the pipes, originally with no color from the ends of pipes to the edges of the stage and in head-highs. As the no-color was too warm against the light source from the projectors for Architecture of Loss once we got into the space, I changed this to Lee 202 [Half CTB]. So I modified the color for City of Twist as well."
In City of Twist, images on the upstage wall are stock gobos. "We wanted them to almost look industrial, not specially designed for the piece, which is a story about everyday people, portraits of typical New Yorkers," Tabachnick explains. "The lighting is very dramatic, very chiaroscuro, spare in its design. The dancers move to the edge of the light intentionally, revealing only part of the body. The light wraps their muscles. The idea is for each dancer to have his own space, like we all do as we move through the city of nine million people. I think of that line from the television show, The Naked City: 'There are eight million stories in the naked city; this has been one of them,' as a way to make each character have his own story visually. In the final solo, with a series of photo flashes, the character is more allegorical to evoke all the others."
Petronio, a veteran of the New York modern dance scene (former member of Trisha Brown's company) doesn't dance much anymore, but this season he is performing his version of Steve Paxton's Intravenous Lecture from the 1970s. Tabachnick's task for this piece was to pull out a solo dancer from a black environment. "He was dressed in a white t-shirt, which made it easier," says the LD. "I chose almost a clinical look, with light from 360° but more backlight to pull him out of the background. In this case, the light is less focused on the musculature of the body and more on Stephen's face to make sure the audience could relate to him as a performer. This is more theatrical than your typical dance piece." Tabachnick added blue to the light, using the same plot, simply cooler than the other pieces on the program.
Another member of the team is lighting director Burke Wilmore, who has also worked with Petronio for years. "He tours with the company and reproduces my lighting," says Tabachnick. "Stephen and I work very quickly together, understand each other. With Stephen, we visually work on the arc of the evening; we discuss program order and design each evening for the best audience experience and the energy of the program. Stephen is the only choreographer I continue to light for. I love working with him."

Officer says Philpott accused Willis of kicking the door down
PC Gareth Louretta said Mick Philpott was 'loud' and was accusing a woman, Lisa Willis, of kicking the door down.
PC Louretta said he saw no sign of any damage to the door and that Lisa Willis was calm. The PC decided to diffuse the situation by asking Mick Philpott to go inside.
The court heard that Mr Philpott explained to the officer that Ms Willis lived there with him and his wife Mairead, and that she had come to the property to collect her belongings and her children's clothes.

A WAFF 48 viewer is asking for your help in identifying a crook that broke into his car in his driveway.
It happened in the early morning hours of Oct. 25 at Amber's Crossing, in the Monrovia area of Madison County. Homeowner Randall Rushing's surveillance equipment shows a crook calmly stealing cash from Rushing's car (http://bit.ly/181BTCC).
Randall said law enforcement told him they have worked ten similar break-ins that same weekend.
If you know who this guy is, make the anonymous call to Huntsville Area Crime Stoppers at 256-53-CRIME. There is a reward available.
We did some checking into the growth of home video surveillance system such as the one Rushing installed. Business is apparently booming.
Approximately 20% of all homes now have some type of video surveillance system. An estimated 95% of homeowners report the systems to be an effective deterrent and make them feel safer.
Stats show a home without a security system of any sort is 2-3 times more likely to be broken into.

(January 28, 2010) – Two of Canada's figure skaters from the 1980s proudly carried the Olympic Torch in BC as it made its way closer to Vancouver. On January 27th, both Melinda Kunhegi and Michael Farrington were torch bearers. Melinda, orginally from Guelph, Ontario, competed in the pair discipline in the early part of the 1980s. With her partner Lyndon Johnston, she was the silver medalist at the Canadian national championships twice, in 1984 and 1985. They competed in the 1984 Olympic Winter Game and finished 12th. The next year, the duo had a fifth place finish at the ISU World Figure Skating Championships. Melinda carried the torch in Sorrento, BC.
Barrie, Ontario native Michael Farrington competed at the 1988 Olympic Winter Games in ice dance with his partner Melanie Cole. The bronze medalists at the national championships that year finished 16th at the games in Calgary, Alberta and then 15th at the 1988 ISU World Figure Skating Championships. Michael carried the torch in Kamloops, BC.

Body of Leigh man murdered in Honduras to be repatriated
11:00am Monday 21st January 2013 in Local News By David Trayner
THE British Embassy in Honduras is working with local officials to repatriate the body of a tourist from Leigh murdered for his camera.
The distraught family of Omer Kaya, 33, of Braemer Crescent, Leigh, who was shot dead by muggers in the Central American country last Tuesday, want the British citizen to be buried in his home town of Atalya, southern Turkey.
Emre Kars, 30, of Princes Street, Southend, who is acting as next of kin in England, said: "We want him to be taken to Turkey rather than England.
"All his family members want him back where he was born. That is right."
Mr Kars said consular officials were trying to arrange for a death certificate for Omer, who was a Rossi Ice-cream seller in Pitsea, after he died of a gunshot wound to the neck in the north western city of San Pedro Sula.
He hopes the funeral can take place in the next week.
Honduran police are looking for a man and a woman suspected of gunning Omer down in the street as they tried to steal his camera.
Deputy police chief Leonel Sauceda said: "Two people, a man and a woman, who were riding in a taxi, got out and tried to steal his camera.
"As they tried to rob him he resisted and then ran away to avoid being the victim of the robbery.
"As he tried to get away he was hit with a shot from .32 calibre bullet which killed him.
"We will do whatever is necessary to find these suspects - our investigation team are going through recent arrests in the area and witness statements."
Mr Kars, who runs Rochford Takeaway in West Street, and his wife Sevnaz, 31, a pharmacist in Leigh, cannot believe he would resist the muggers as he was a shy, gentle man.
Pictures in the local media showed Mr Kaya's barefoot body in white trousers and a dark T-shirt lying behind a police cordon.
Mr Kars said: "I can't sleep properly. I keep waking up remembering past memories.
"For the past 15 years he has been in my life. It's very difficult to take him away."

Should be no issues at all in doing as the next of kin requires.
it is not cheap though.
there are companies who will also do all this for you.
