The alliance with LOT will involve a code-sharing agreement on flights on the Manchester-Warsaw and Gatwick-Krakow routes, reciprocal participation in frequent-flyers programmes and co-operation between the Polish airline and BA's German subsidiary Deutsche BA. The deal means that BA now has strategic alliances with three European airlines - the other two are Iberia and Finnair. But Mr Garussa said it was keen to build further partnerships. There are at least twelve European carriers yet to sign up to one of the global alliances such as Star which are coming to dominate the aviation market. They include Aer Lingus, Portugalia, Maersk in Denmark, Meridiana of Italy, Olympic of Greece, El Al and the Russian airline Aeroflot.

A Florida Representative from the Panhandle is hoping to add fuel to the fires of change, as he fights for the end of the State's ethanol mandate.
State law currently requires gas stations to sell fuel containing 9 to10 percent ethanol, but Representative Matt Gaetz wants to bring choice to the people.
If Gaetz had his way, there would be no ethanol requirement.
It's a fight he started last legislative session and he intends to end it in the next.
"I believe in more freedom at the gas pump, and that means not tell people the type of fuel they have to buy," he said.
Speaking Wednesday via Skype, Republican Representative Gaetz called the federal-backed, corn-based bio-fuel, ethanol, an "energy loser."
"There was a Cornell University study that said that it takes about a gallon and a half of gasoline just to make a gallon of ethanol," said Gaetz.
It is why he said he's fighting for the repeal of the 2008 Renewable Fuel Standard Act.
When the law was finally enacted in 2010, it required stations to sell gasoline containing between 9 to 10 percent ethanol.
"Well, if it takes more fossil fuels to make the renewable fuel that is generated, I'm no math major, but that seems like bad public policy to me," Gaetz said.
Last year he was successful in creating lawmaker-approved provisions that would not penalize merchants for selling ethanol free products; however, the law is still on the books and causing confusion.
"What that confusion means is that fewer retailers and distributors are willing to offer ethanol free gasoline," said Gaetz.
T&N Express is one of the only gas stations in Bay County where you have the option of getting ethanol free gasoline in all three grades and it's most loyal customers say they'd drive many miles just to get it.
"It's not a problem because it saves you in the long run. It saves you in repairs," said Bay County resident, Treva Campbell.
Campbell said ethanol is the culprit behind her ruined engines.
"We've had some problems with a motor home. We had to replace the whole thing because of ethanol gas," she said.
John Starling is a former ethanol-free distributor.
"The ethanol is like acid inside your motor and it just eats things away," he said.
Starling said he doesn't mind paying the 30 cents extra to get ethanol free gas, if it means more longevity for his motors, nor did his customers.
"My customers were telling me, "we're not worried about the price, we're worried about the product," said Starling.
Tuesday, Agriculture Commissioner, Adam Putnam dropped his opposition to Gaetz's bill; a big positive move for Gaetz.
This comes after the Federal Court of Appeals opened the door to potentially raising the ethanol percentage in gasoline to 15 percent.

Getting Back Angelo Traveras
To Whom It May Concern, there are many sad faces on this campus now who heard the bad news about a hard working and caring man, Angelo Traveras student development adviser. He has helped many get through the summer program, through many emotionally and physical problems. We all feel sorry for him and will like to get him back to work again. Its not the same without him. Many people have trusted him already and don't want that to just go away.

That's the question we asked … and more than 1,500 people from 70 countries have answered! Since November 2011, survey respondents have weighed in on their favorite and least favorite colors. They also have been telling us where they are from, their age, and their gender. Early on, favorites emerged, and they have held mostly true as the responses roll in.
Male Color Preferences by Age
(There is currently a tie between blue and green as the favorite color for males 19-24 and a tie between blue and red for males 70 and older.)
Female Color Preferences by Age
Preferences by Gender
The written responses on sites where we posted the link have been all across the board:
- Decisive: "Green!" and "Always red" and "REDDDDDDD!!!!!"
- Descriptive: "Warm Red or Fiery Red!" and "Skyblue"
- Specific: "100C 100Y 10M 30K" and "I think I would have to go for British racing green (Pantone 5535)" and "Blue, RGB: 102.204.255, HEX: 66ccff" and "Blue: not a power blue and not a real dark blue, more like somewhere around PMS 285 blue" and a personal favorite: "1 micrometer (wave length) or maybe 10 micrometers"
- Silly: "Plaid" and "Iridescent" and "They still don't let you pick 'clear.' Oh well…."
- Angry: "This is not a scientific study" and "I like different colors for different things. This poll is junk."
- Entertaining: "Blue … not into that purple crap" and "Blue NO RED Auuuuuuuuuuuggghhhh…" (Monty Python "3 Questions")
A sampling of FAQs:
Did you know you forgot pink?
Yes, and people wanted to vote for it for most AND least favorite. If we created a new survey, it would definitely be there. (Plus, isn't it just technically a shade of red?)
Don't people like different colors for different things?
Of course. We actually talk about just that in "Selecting colors for design projects." But, judging by the number of people who were willing to pick just one, we bet that most people do have one they generally like more than others. Think of what color you would select for your personal toothbrush if you saw all these colors offered in the store.
Don't you think it would be better to be more specific on where people are from, for example, eastern U.S., southern U.S., etc.?
No way! In fact, we wish we had just made it a question of which continent you were from so we had more data from each place. There were so few from each country other than the U.S. that we're not even going to analyze the differences based on culture. If we get more answers from other countries, we'll share that information.
Why do older people like red so much?
As our eyes age, we sometimes lose the ability to distinguish between blues and yellows. The color that stands out the most is red, so that may be why we are more drawn to it as we age. Or maybe it was just a cool color when they were growing up in the first half of the 20th century!
Can I see the raw data?
You bet! Just drop us a request using the form on the right and we'll send you the data so you can sort and analyze to your heart's content.
This poll isn't very scientific, is it?
I'm a designer, not a scientist! But it still is interesting to see the differences emerge in the responses we've received so far.
Can I still vote?
YES! In fact, we'd love to have you post a link to http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/colorprefs so everyone you know can participate. The more responses we get from around the world, the more we can learn about color preferences. Take the one-minute poll, and after you vote, you can see how your answers compare with the latest worldwide results.

Jolie-Pitts Get Adorably Back On The Boat
by Molly Goodson 164 Reactions 0 Shares Print
Argh, adorable Jolie-Pitt-ness. The whole family loved their water taxi ride in Venice over the weekend where Mad was the captain (obviously). Brad and Angelina had their old school Hollywood moment together for the premiere of his movie, but they're definitely happier with all their little ones on the boat. Look at Brad with Pax and Z! And Angie with Shi! Brad talked about wanting Jolie-Pitt baby No. 5 soon, so hopefully Mad, Z, Pax and Shi are all ready for a new little one to adorably sibling-ly boss around.

Shiloh's mouth was probably only closed for half a second, they snapped it, and probably thats why theres just one photo of her with it closed. The one from US magazine someone used has her mouth open yet again. I think its a little strange.

Well, I know when I talk about some of the stuff in my past I laugh as a nervous response. It's not to make light of it, it's just that laughter is my nervous response. I think I am always very nervous that people will think that I am crazy or something so I try to make it light so people won't think it's as serious as it really is. I think we all react differently and I would never expect everyone to act the same way I do because we all have our own survival mechanisms that get us through dark times.
raptinrainbows 7 years
well, you haven't offended me, and i wish you would post more often. it would be good to get more testosterone in the mix. ;)
Estelle07 7 years
So she's comfortable talking about cutting herself. So what? Like chiquitita said, if AJ hadn't said anything, so many thousands of people suffering the exact same problem would think they were all alone. I for one, don't see how Angelina is glamourising self-harming at all. She's open and honest about it sure. But glamourising...? backtoblack, you shouldn't assume that every single person with these problems will react and deal with them the way you did. Nor should you allow past issues with 'poseurs' from school to lead you to think that some think its 'trendy' to self-harm. I would say the majority of people know it's not cool.

backtoblack77 7 years
Okay. I'm not trying to offend anyone. I usually don't even post on this site. I used to be an Angelina fan a few years ago before I even read her interviews or anything. And before she started being so prominent in the media. I just thought she was a beautiful and sexy woman and I enjoyed some of her movies. That's all. But being so popular on all websites, I couldn't help but throw in my thoughts. I won't try to say anything else to prove my point. The last thing that I will say is that being an emotional and VERY VERY intuitive guy myself who has suffered from drug addiction, self mutilation, and depression, I can sense when other people have suffered. Especially being intuitive. I'm the type of person that can tell if i'll like a person by just looking at them or meeting them once. I know it may sound crazy, but that's intuition. It's nothing psycho, it's just that I read "vibes". You know sometimes you get bad vibes from someone you barely know and they end up doing something bad and you're thinking "damn, how did i know theyre like that?". So yeah, I can just tell when people are fake or not. and i'm not just talking about this situation, i'm speaking generally. But especially since i've gone through this stuff...from one sufferer to another, we can just tell. It's as simple as that.
raptinrainbows 7 years
i know. i'm very sympathetic toward men experiencing these issues because there isn't the same level of personal and societal support for them as there is for women. people still have very antiquated notions of what a "real" man is and how they're supposed to act.
raptinrainbows 7 years
believe me, i take your point that most people wouldn't talk about these kinds of things. however, i think most people would agree that angie isn't most people. she talks about a lot of things most people wouldn't. that's actually one of the things i like about her.i'll try to see the interview, but, you know, i don't even have to see it to know that she was smiling and giggling throughout the whole thing -- that seems to be her interview style (no matter the topic), which, even for me, grates after a while.

I know men can suffer too. But I always felt extremely weird being a man and going through this. It just seemed more acceptable for a woman who is already hormonal to be going through this. Women are just more emotional. It doesn't help that my own grandparents called me crazy and that my best friend called me gay.
backtoblack77 7 years
The inside the actor's studio one. She was smiling the whole time, Giggling. And even said "I still have scars!" and looked at her arm trying to find them. It was so cheesy. I know everyone is different, but it just was so fake. I can't speak for all people going through problems, but trust me, people who really are suffering won't be able to talk about it so openly. Things like this are embarassing to people. There are no statistics to prove this, but i'm 100% sure that AT LEAST 95% of people who have suffered will tell you the same thing. It's just human nature for people to be embarassed and ashamed of things like this which are not considered to be "normal". Also, talking about it just makes you go back and remember all the things which happened to you and it's an emotional thing and may affect your mood. It's not easy to talk about. Most people want to forget about it, not flaunt it.
raptinrainbows 7 years
and of course men experience these issues as well. mental pain isn't the exclusive province of women. as i said, my boyfriend cut himself and he definitely wasn't doing it as part of any trend.
raptinrainbows 7 years
backtoblack: i didn't see the interview you referred to so i'm not going to comment about her demeanor on the show and whether it was genuine or fake, whether her smile displayed pride and bragging or whether it was hiding something more painful. i also never respond to someone whose comments i disagree with by calling them haters or jealous people. i do, however, vehemently take issue with you using your personal experiences to generalize and speak for ALL people who faced the same or similar issues as you did. you can speak for yourself and, maybe, for those you know or have spoken with personally. but to say that "NO person who went through such things in life would talk so openly about the subject with such OBVIOUS pride" is ludicrous. also, just because you knew (or think you knew) people who claimed to be depressed as part of some fad or trend DOES NOT mean that everyone who makes that statement is just jumping on the bandwagon.
backtoblack77 7 years
From personal experience, I can tell you that NO person who went through such things in life would talk so openly about the subject with such OBVIOUS pride. Yes, as hard as it is to believe, I used to cut myself up until two years ago. I used to take drugs and cut myself and even starve myself. I CAN talk about it to some people, but only those close to me, and I don't go into graphic details and get happy about it and start smiling like it's such a nice and cool story to tell. It's extremely obvious she was bragging, and it doesn't take a genius to see that. You know, a few years ago it was TRENDY to be "depressed" and "cut yourself". When I was still in highschool, all the girls and even some boys pretended to be depressed. I know so many girls who pretended to have eating disorders, they cut themselves (the cuts weren't even deep, they were for attention obviously), and other stuff. It annoyed me so much that this was a "trend" because I was actually going through that stuff and it's disgusting how people would put such an emphasis on it and turn it into a new fad. Anyway, Angelina Jolie talks EXACTLY how the poseurs at my school talked about their "Problems". Again, from personal experience from past struggles of my own and witnessing all the poseurs and their "problems", I can tell you that Angelina is a BIG, FAKE, ATTENTION WH*RE. And yes, I am a male. Hard to believe that a man can go through this stuff, huh? Especially an african american like myself since African Americans are made out to be like these "tough" ghetto people in society. Just before you obsessive fans start attacking me and saying that i'm a "jealous gay man", I will tell you that i'm not; I am a straight male and not "jealous" at all, i'm just speaking the truth. And yeah, I've gotten those kinds of ignorant, negative comments before when i've mentioned the brangelina clad.
Estelle07 7 years
Amen chiquitita! It's very brave of you to tell us what you went through. I'm glad AJ helped you realise you weren't the only one. xx
Estelle07 7 years
I'm sorry Seasick, I don't see the difference at all. People learn things about themselves everyday. Just because you get older, the learning curve doesn't stop. One might say, it gets steeper. Correct me if I'm wrong but bi-sexuals, as far as I'm aware, do not aline themselves to either gender. They are comfortable being intimate with both. AJ has never hidden being bi-sexual. She has NEVER said she is completely heterosexual. And I have to disagree with you 1 million percent about AJ doing her UN work to benefit herself. She's not exactly in short supply of publicity and attention, but surely if she wanted more, there would be an easier way of doing it? Here's a list of all the UN trips she has made since 01: February 01 - Sierra Leone June & July 01 - Cambodia August 01 - Pakistan March 02 - Namibia May 02 - Thailand June 02 - Ecuador October 02 - Kenya December 02 - Serbia and Montenegro March 03 - U R of Tanzania April 03 - Sri Lanka August 03 - Russian Federation December 03 - Jordan December 03 - Egypt APRIL 04 - ARIZONA, USA June 04 - Chad October 04 - Thailand October 04 - Sudan December 04 - Lebanon May 05 - Pakistan November 06 - India December 06 - Costa Rica Febuary 07 - Chad August 07 - Iraq and Syria She pays her own way on all of these trips and travels alone, save for one bodyguard. In October 03, she won the UNCA Citizen of the World Award. In October 05, she won the Global Humanitarian Action Award. Is this really the actions and achievements of someone who, and I quote Seasick on this: " She flies there, puts on a sad face, kneels next to the elderly or poverty stricken children, gets her pic taken, and then jumps back on a plane and is off again 30 minutes later...to walk the red carpet." Personally, I don't think so. She was voted onto the Council On Foreign Relations alongside members such as Bill and Hilary Clinton, Barack Obama, Condoleezza Rice, Colin Powell, Henry Kissinger, Madeleine Albright...I could go on. The point is, you don't get elected onto a board like this by turning up in thrid world countries, posing for the camera and then disappearing. She is educating herself and in doing so, has won the respect of some of America's most powerful and influential people.

Cutting herself is not the only thing she's judged on, matter of fact I don't even think about that when I think about how whacked she is. She's been receiving counseling for years so it's amazing how nothing seemed to help her then one day she's all better? My AS*. She is not some closet person looking to release her pain. She's an opportunist looking to get more air time. I will say she looked much happier back in the day when it was just her and Maddox. She was always smiling and she was at a good weight. Now, she looks miserable inside and out.

amen to that, chiquitita. my first boyfriend cut himself in high school and the first year or so of college, but he's one of the best, most caring people that i know. i would hate for anyone to judge him solely on that basis.
chiquitita 7 years
You know, you shouldn't judge people if you haven't walked in their shoes. As someone who suffered from deep depression through my teenage years due to childhood issues, I cut myself. It is a physchological response to inner pain. You don't want to feel that anymore so you cut yourself as a sort of release. I have scars on my upper arms. I am not proud of what I did but I am also not ashamed because I had problems and I needed help but nobody gave it to me. I had problems into my 20's with commitment and relationships but as I got older and got some help I was able to change my outlook on life and how I lived it. But the biggest catalyst for change was the birth of my first child. I hope that when people look back on my life they don't judge me for what I did for less than a decade but instead focus on my life as a whole. We have all done things that we aren't proud off and I think none of us would want to judged by those things. If Angelina is open about her issues, well that is her choice. It draws attention to issues that might otherwise be hidden. I remember being shocked when she said she cut herself b/c I was sure I was the only one in the world who did it and it made me feel like I wasn't alone and there were others who had made through those dark times too. Just because you can't relate to what her issues were it doesn't mean that there aren't those around who do and can get some strength from it.

the difference between 15 and 19 is a lot different than 27 and 32. My point is, sure she may see the world differently since going to Cambodia for the first time, but Angelina is still Angelina. It takes a certain kind of person inside to frequently cut your lover during s*x and think nothing of it. It's like being a thief. You can say you've changed all you want, but the fact remains that once you've stolen, you're still a thief! You just don't embrace bi-sexuality for years and years and tell everyone that you're proud you can love both sexes equally, then wake up the next totally hetero. She back tracks and changes her stories way too often, all for media manipulation.

estelle07, i agree with you 100%.
Seasick 7 years
WOW Backtoblack how long did it take you to write that? But it's true... she plays the media to get to the public and if it were you or I that did half the things she has done then most people would want us to have a mental evaluation, because what she has done goes well beyond experimenting and curiosity. She is weird and she has an agenda that includes fooling the world into believing that she's something that she is not. She's not trying to find solutions to these people's problems, but she is the one benefiting off of of these people's hardships. SHE is the one who gets exposure. She flies there, puts on a sad face, kneels next to the elderly or poverty stricken children, gets her pic taken, and then jumps back on a plane and is off again 30 minutes later...to walk the red carpet. How on earth can you see such destruction and heartache, then the next day smile for the cameras all dressed up for some movie premiere?

I don't see the big fuss over Shiloh to be honest. Sure, she's cute. So's a puppy. The boys make me go 'Ah' but for me, Zahara puts the rest of her family in the shadows. Her expressions are priceless and you can tell how much the paparazzi annoy her. There's this priceless photo of her looking direct at the paps camera, her hand is out and she's got this total 'WTF?!' expression on her face! She cracks me up everytime! And just a little thought before I go; I'm 19 and when I think about the person I was a few years ago and the person I am now, I can't believe the difference. I think the thing that endears people to AJ is the fact that she never hides the difficultie of her past. She's never sugar-coated anything or pretended to be anything other than who she is. I can totally understand why that kind of brutal honesty scares people. It's rare these days but for one of the biggest celebrites of our generation to say "I did X,Y and Z when I was younger but I've learnt from it and become a better person because of it," is refreshing. I wish more celebs were like that.

***It WASN'T just "oh yes I used to cut myself", it was more like *BIG SMILE* "OH YEAH. I USED TO CUT MYSELF ALL THE TIME. DID YOU HEAR ME PEOPLE??!!".
backtoblack77 7 years
I have no respect for Angelina Jolie whatsoever. She is an attention wh*re and anyone who can't see that is just ignorant or brainwashed by the media. You see, everything she does, she BRAGS about. She went on inside the actor's studio and it was SO ridiculous. She bragged about how she had violent sex at FOURTEEN years old and about how her mother allowed her boyfriend to live with them. She also bragged about how she used to cut herself, and all this other crap. This is not something to be proud of. And she was evidently bragging. It was just "oh yes I used to cut myself", it was more like *BIG SMILE* "OH YEAH. I USED TO CUT MYSELF ALL THE TIME. DID YOU HEAR ME PEOPLE??!!". People who really suffer from issues like this would never even dare talk to publicly about it. This is not something easy to talk about, it is personal and an uncomfortable subject. Then all her other crazy things. Like making out with her brother. Oh come on, that was SO FAKE. IT WAS FOR ATTENTION AND SO OBVIOUS. ANY IIDIOT COULD SEE THAT. Then dressing like a goth to the oscars. What kind of grown woman does that? Then all her TRASHY, MEANINGLESS, UGLY tattoos which she also bragged about and can't stop flashing. The list goes on and on. I don't understand why people judge Lindsay Lohan and call her a slut for saying she enjoys sex, yet people praise Angelina. I personally have nothing against sex. I love sex myself and don't think there is such a thing as a "slut". There's nothing wrong with promiscuity as long as it is a mutual decision and both people are CONSENTING ADULTS and using PROTECTION. But that's just my opinion, but most of you seem to disagree because not a day goes by that people don't call Lindsay Lohan, or Paris Hilton disgusting wh*res, etc. DOUBLE STANDARDS! Lindsay Lohan talking about sex isn't even close to what Angelina has said in the past. Lindsay didn't go into details. Yet people judge her. Angelina went into details, ALWAYS bragged about it, etc. Yet people praise her. She an attention wh*re and everything she does is for attention. Including her charity work. She brags and brags about it and always want to get her photo taken. What about celebrities like Nicole Kidman? She does charity work but doesn't brag about it. Angelina isn't the only person in the world to do charity, get over it! She acts as if she is a saint just because she donates some money to poor people. Big deal, not! No one cares about her charity work. She is so ignorant. The one thing that convinced me she is all for attention is when she posed in Africa with some little poor boy who was NOT wearing pants. The fact that she posed for a PHOTOSHOOT with a boy WITHOUT PANTS makes it ridiculous and fake. Obviously it was staged. It was a professional photoshoot. They even made it black and white to make it more dramatic. Couldn't the people at least have given the boy a pair of pants? That made me sick. Seriously. And her ignorance. *Sigh*. Again, she just wants to be "different" and "cool" with her family. She even said it herself that she wants to have a multicultural family. That is BS! There will be no culture because they are being raised in AMERICA and she changed all of their names. Jesus. Can she stop acting like children? And she is the one creating issues in her house. There is no race issue, she is making problems for herself. If she would just love all her kids the same, there would be no problems. Seriously, it makes me laugh hysterically just thinking about her and how she wants to "balance the races". How ridiculous. So does she want kids because she truly loves them and wants more or because she wants to give her other kids a new toy which looks like them? But the Angelina fans will never admit that they are wrong and that their love for Angelina is BS. It's true, all Angelina fans judge other celebrities for doing crazy similar things yet praise Angelina. Whatever. Peace out. Just thought i'd get that off my mind.

Angelina, Brad and those wonderful kids are so cute. They look like a trully happy family. Way to go Angelina and Brad. I wish every one would lay of Angelina. She is a hard working mom and it isn't easy raising 4 kids even if you have lots of money. As four her weight, she has the figure to look so skinny and still be healthy. Another thing to consider is it could be medical, my mother has an ailment that makes it almost impossible for her to gain weight. My mom eats a healthy balanced diet and still looks as skinny as Angelina. So back off, would you want some one bugging you about your weight?

italygal 7 years
WOW. MISTYEDGE. and...KIZERSOSA. In her twenties Angelina was eccentric. She and BillyBob pricked their finger and put a DROP of blood in a locket. It wasn't a VIAL of blood. She was extremely troubled as a teenager and cut herself to relieve the pain. She has since talked about this to let other girls know that they are not alone and can get HELP. She was/is a bisexual. I consider the first two "dumb shit". The third is her business. And if you think any of these is SHOCKING I suggest you get out more. Nothing about what she did in her 20s is any more weird than most people.

italygal............ angelina jolie was in her late to mid 20's when she did all that blood stuff with Billy Bob. She crossed many borders that people consider "sane" and you can't chalk it up to good ole sowing your oats "teenager" ways. She was an adult. She even said in an interview that if the public knew some of the things she has done in private, they would faint in shock. How can you say you don't judge people from what they did in their 20's? Charles Manson did some screwed up things in his 20's..you're saying you're not going to judge him because he was in his 20's? Comeon please. (i know she didn't commit murder but your premise is still the same when you say you don't judge people on what they did in their 20's.) How can you not judge her for the decisions she has made in life. She's only 33, her 20's where just yesterday so to speak. (Since Britney is in her 20's you're saying it's ok for her to be the parent she is and blame it on "because she's in her 20's)

Italygal, it is not a bunch of crap. There are AJ fans who will whole heartedly defend her every mistake past and present. There ARE some out there. Since you do see the negaive in her eating habits then obviously you are NOT one of these I'm talking about. The ones I'm talking about would have said "Oh she's georgeous!" "She's always been thin, these pics are photoshopped", "She's the most beautiful woman in the world." See the difference?

Such a beautiful family. I wish people would stop being so negative about them. Angelina Jolie is much more down to earth than anybody in Hollywood. If you look at pictures of JA with her god-daughter Coco, there is no connection at all. JA seems like a self-centered person, no kids, just dogs,yoga, restaurants, friends, all is about herself. Too bad for her, she has let the chance to go by, and lucky for Brad, who knew he has found his soul-mate when he met Angelina. Now they are happy and make 4 chidren their main goal in life. What is there to dislike them?

The U.S. State Department believes Minnesota could be key to capturing two American men suspected of leading the charge to recruit westerners to fight for the terror group al-Shabaab in Somalia.
The agency is offering a $10 million reward in the search, and they also reached out specifically to the Twin Cities because it's believed that someone in the local Somali community, which is the largest outside of Somalia, could help crack the case.
Both of the men sought were born in America, but the FBI believes they were in charge of recruiting Somali men to fly overseas to fight in Somalia.
The man known as the rapping jihadist, Omar Hammami, was born in Alabama -- but his use of slick videos and rap lyrics have made him one of al-Shabaab's top recruiters, according to investigators.
"They do know these young people more than some of us," said Abdi Bihi, whose nephew was one of more than 20 young men enticed to leave Minnesota to fight in Somalia. "He identifies the real issues that young people have in the west -- especially in the poor communities."
In at least two cases, two of those men would die as suicide bombers.
Now, there's a $5 million reward for information leading to Hammami's capture -- and there's another $5 million for the person who leads them to Jehad Mostafa, who is originally from the Milwaukee area.
Both Hammami and Mostafa are believed to be in Somalia now, but the FBI and State Department both believe the best information and most solid leads may come from the Somali community back in the United States, especially in the Twin Cities.
The timing of the reward is telling too. Despite escalating violence in Somalia, al-Shabaab is deeply divided by infighting. Hammami, who is thought to be too Hollywood to be a jihadist, recently posted a video begging for his life.
"I think [the State Department] believes they are more vulnerable than ever and could be snatched," Bihi told FOX 9 News. "Others are not protecting them."
It's possible that the rapping jihadist is now wanted by both his fellow terrorists and the U.S. government, and the man who spoke about martyrdom in his song, "Waiting for a Cruise Missile," may yet get his wish.
All information provided to investigators will be kept strictly confidential, and informants may be eligible for relocation. Tips can be sent by e-mail at email@example.com or by calling 1-800-US-REWARD.

Three inmates from the minimum security prison in Vinita are back in custody after being captured by Craig County deputies east of the city.
The three prisoners escaped from the Northeast Oklahoma Correction Center in Vinita Saturday morning.
The inmates are: Daniel Dolezal who's serving a ten year sentence for assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, Jeffery Don Bradshaw who's serving a 20 year sentence for grand larceny, and Bryce Agnew who is serving 15 years for possession of a controlled substance. They escaped in a dark colored SUV.
All three escapees were considered armed and dangerous even though the Vinita prison is considered a minimum security facility.

SWINDON TOWN: Ranger available for Colchester visit
4:00pm Thursday 13th February 2014 in Sport By Sam Morshead
NILE Ranger looks set to play a part for Swindon Town against Colchester United tomorrow after manager Mark Cooper confirmed the striker was "a million per cent" available for selection.
Ranger was found not to have breached the terms of his bail after being picked up by Northumbria Police in Newcastle on Tuesday night, having been granted leave by Town to meet with his legal counsel ahead of his upcoming trial, which begins on February 24.
The forward trained as normal with the Robins this morning and is expected to feature in Cooper's matchday squad when the U's visit the County Ground tomorrow night (kick-off 7.45pm).
Meanwhile, Cooper has revealed that midfielder Ryan Mason will return to full training on Monday after a spell out of action with a side strain.
"Ryan Mason is a lot, lot better and I would anticipate he'd be back in full training for the start of next week," Cooper told the local press this lunchtime.
"What we're not going to do is make him train on Monday and play on Tuesday. We've got to make sure he's 100 per cent fit, like we have done, and hopefully he can have a spell injury-free."

By all accounts Colchester are going for all out attack tomorrow night with all the strikers he has if they do go all out attack it could be good for us as opposed to most teams sitting back and hitting us on the counter.
I feel we are due a big win and tomorrow could be the night with Nile hitting a hat trick.

The crux of this climb depends upon your strengths and may have changed over time. The small holds were getting smaller in the mid 1990's and I suspect may have continued to do so.
From the left branch of the approach trail you first encounter the "triplet" climbs,Sunshine, Moonbeam, and Into the Light. While these are at your right shoulder you can look further on to the routes on a massive overhanging buttress. These are (from right to left) Fuzzy Undercling, Tissue Tiger, Gung Ho, and Reliquary.

Pádraig Harrington....Rory McIlroy....Graeme McDowell....Darren Clarke…and that's just the all island Irish major winners line up for this year's Irish Open...
credit: Fota Island Resort
Following the successful Irish Open at Carton House last June, The European Tour and Golf Ireland are looking forward to the 2014 edition and the opportunity to recreate the popularity of the event in front of equally huge crowds when the Irish Open returns to Cork, at the Deerpark Course at Fota Island Resort, Co Cork. From June 19-22, some of the world's top players will walk in the footsteps of Denmark's Søren Hansen, who won the title when The Irish Open was last played at Fota Island Resort in 2002. Book tickets for this fantastic event here
Ireland's latest golfing champions – Rory McIlroy, Darren Clarke, Graeme McDowell and our Golf Ireland Official Ambassador, Pádraig Harrington – will be playing at this year's Irish Open. They'll be joined by a host of national and international top golfing stars, including 2014 Ryder Cup Captain, Paul McGinley and Shane Lowry, as they battle to secure the tournament's first home win since Lowry's amazing victory as an amateur, at County Louth Golf Club in 2009.
It's a welcome return to one of the finest golf courses, not just in Ireland but the world. At full stretch – over 7,000 yards – Jeff Howes design is championship stuff, set against truly breath-taking scenery, and offers some of the most challenging golf imaginable. For serious golfers with a qualified handicap, it's a chance to test their skills in a tournament where dreams have come true, and legends made. But you don't need to take part to be there. Join thousands of golf fanatics for an unforgettable experience on and off the course. You can anticipate nerve-racking putts, heart-breaking shots into the water and sublime tee shots. And you can expect a long list of global golf stars to be there. We hope you will be too.

Venue: Fota Island Resort
It would appear that golf was first played at Fota Island as far back as the 1800's. In 1993, a new course was developed at Fota Island, designed by Irish Ryder Cup star Christy O'Connor Jr. and twice English Amateur Champion Peter McEvoy. While essentially a resort course, it hosted a number of tournaments, including the Irish Club Professional Championship, the Irish PGA Championship and no fewer than three Irish Amateur Opens.
At the beginning of 1998 Fota Island Golf Club was under the direction of Jeff Howes Golf Designs upgraded to European Tour Standards. Following an 18 month multi-million Euro programme that saw the rebuilding of all 18 greens, the redevelopment of all tees and the redesign of several of the holes, the course reopened in September 1999. This paid dividends with the Deerpark Course playing host to the Irish Open in 2001 & 2002, won by Colin Montgomerie and Soren Hansen, respectively. Fota Island Resort will once again play host to Ireland's Open Championship in 2014 as the Irish Open returns to Cork for the first time in 12 years between the 19th & 22nd June.
The Irish Open will return to Northern Ireland after this year's event, taking place at Royal County Down in 2015 and at Lough Erne Resort in 2017.

Oh my gosh, these are the best. I am a cookie-holic and these went to the top of my list. I doubled the amount of pecans (only had those on hand.) My family loves them in cookies. Did not change another thing and they were awesome. Hubbly loved them as well. Yes, will be making again often.
I forgot to rate these the first time.
I made these cookies today. Easy and tasty. I can't wait for the kids and grandkids to try them when they come over for Sunday dinner!! I think the girls will enjoy the red chips. They look so pretty and different. I will be making these again.
Have not ired these but you can find flavored baking chips at http://www.preparedpantry.com/baking-chips.aspx
These are so good but I made them before reading the reviews and used dried cherry infused cranberries thinking that is what they meant by cherry chips.. but no matter, they came out great.. next time I'll try to find the cherry chips.. very moist cookies

Health minister must be honest about NHS crisis - Plaid
– Elin Jones, Plaid Cymru Shadow Health Minister
The figures are alarming and show how vital it is that the Health Minister finally takes a hold of this situation.
The austerity cuts being imposed on the public sector by the Tory-Lib Dem government are now being felt in the NHS.
This crisis has been mounting for some time, despite the Minister's assurances that bailouts to LHBs have ended.
She now needs to be honest about the scale of the problem.

Chocolate By The Numbers
"Chocolate percentage" is an imposing phrase thrown around loosely among chocolate connoisseurs. It refers to the percentage of cocoa mass (aka chocolate liquor), the essence of chocolate, in the chocolate bar itself. More cocoa mass means a higher percentage, darker color, and a more intense chocolate taste. Unsweetened or bitter chocolate contains nearly 100 percent cocoa mass. Semisweet and bittersweet chocolates have added sugar, so their cocoa percentages are a little lower - good quality dark chocolate usually contains a minimum of 50 percent cocoa mass, but can go as high as 85 percent. Because milk chocolate has more added sugar than dark, as well as dried milk solids, it has a lower percentage of cocoa mass, usually about 30 to 40 percent. And for those who love the taste of milk chocolate but crave the deep chocolaty flavor of dark, many companies are creating dark milk varieties which have a higher cocoa mass percentage than conventional milk chocolates.
The percentage also gives us some idea about the chocolate's sweetness. If a dark chocolate contains 70 percent cocoa mass, it must contain about 30 percent sugar. The chocolate will have an intense chocolate flavor, with just enough sugar to make it palatable. The lower the chocolate's percentage, the higher the percentage of sugar and the sweeter the chocolate will be.
So far, this all seems relatively simple. Here's the catch: Not all chocolates with the same percentage have the same taste, because of the varying lengths of time for which the cocoa beans are roasted. One manufacturer may roast inferior cocoa beans longer than another would roast its superior beans (which require less heat to bring out their flavor). Both chocolates may contain the same percentage of cocoa mass, but the chocolate made from inferior beans will taste bitter, while the other has a more pronounced, unmasked taste. This means that a higher percentage doesn't guarantee a better chocolate. To avoid paying top dollar for a bar of chocolate that could pass as a bar of soap, purchase a reputable brand. Better quality chocolate bars have fewer ingredients, usually only five or six, and use real vanilla (not vanillin or other artificial flavorings).
But what about white chocolate? White chocolate is exempt from percentage classification, because technically, it's not chocolate. It lacks cocoa solids. However, this doesn't mean you shouldn't look for quality white chocolate. Like its darker counterpart, the good stuff can easily be found just by reading the label. The key to good white chocolate is cocoa butter. Inferior white chocolate has replaced some or all of its cocoa butter with cheaper fats, like coconut or palm oil, which are pale in color when compared to cocoa butter's slightly yellow tones.
When chopping chocolate for baking, a long serrated knife is the best tool to produce thin strands of easily meltable chocolate. Cutting on a bias is also noticeably easier than cutting the chocolate straight across. And if you're cutting chocolate into large chunks, use a chef's knife, as the serrated edge will break the chocolate into pieces that are too fine.
Now that you know how to read the labels and make sense of the chocolate percentage numbers game, try putting the chocolate to good use. We've provided you with five luscious recipes, each using a different percentage range of chocolate. And that's only the beginning: chocolate tastings, recipe experimentations and a world of delicious new chocolates are all easily within your reach.

Massive homecoming planned for Kirani James
ST GEORGE'S, Grenada – Grenada is preparing a massive homecoming for world and Olympic 400 metres champion Kirani James who will arrive in the island this evening.
There will be a welcome party of Government officials, family members as well as members of James local track and field club Speedzone, at the Maurice Bishop International Airport.
Chairperson of the planning committee Lana McPhael says all Grenadians have been invited to the airport ceremony.
"There is a subcommittee that is meeting as we speak putting the final touches in place," said McPhael, the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Tourism.
"But we are hoping that Grenadians of all sectors would come out. We want to give kirani a massive welcome."
The 19-year-old, also the reigning World champion, created history by securing Grenada's first Olympic medal and the first gold for the OECS sub grouping.
The celebrations planned this weekend include a ceremony on Saturday at the Kirani James Boulevard, an area on the outskirts of the capital named in his honour after he won the World title in Daegu last year.
Also planned is a round-the-island motorcade passing through his west coast hometown of Gouyave and climaxing with a rally at the National Stadium in St George's.
James turns 20 on Saturday and Government officials have said that a major surprise is in store for him.
"We have put a lot of plans together. We have been working hard. Kirani was on the circuit and he had a few races to complete," said Veda Bruno Victor, Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Sports.
"He was supposed to finish on the sixth but decided against it … and decided he would stop."
James is also expected to participate in the launch of a youth programme in his small home village of Gun Battle, located in Gouyave.

South Carolina football recruiting is heating up as we get closer to National Signing Day. The Gamecocks have been busy telling the story to entice future "garnet and black" wearers to come to Columbia and continue the success that Coach Spurrier has ushered in.
USC is still on the prowl for a linebacker and trying to convince some of their top targets to say yes. So in the below "recruiting nugget," you will see lots of talk on LB prospects. WE are just trying to keep you, the Gamecock fan, up-to-speed on what is taking shape out there from things we have picked up. For true insight, visit sites like TheBigSpur.com or GamecockCentral. Here is just our quick two-cent snapshot of some key recruiting storylines floating around the message boards:
Drew Barker. This young gun-slinger is out of Hebron, KY and has recently named USC as his current favorite over Tennessee. For the Gamecocks, this is welcomed news as he is the top target right now at quarterback for the Class of 2014. Barker plans to visit USC for the spring game and indicated that he wants to make his decision in late April or early May 2013. Last season, Barker passed for 2072 yards and 22 touchdowns and rushed for 1455 yards and 18 scores.
Jonathan Walton. This linebacking prospect out of Mobile, AL decommitted from Penn State Sunday after returning home from an official visit to Tennessee. Walton will visit USC this coming weekend and Auburn the following weekend. He's also been to Minnesota. The Gamecocks hope to convince him that USC is the right spot for him.
Quinton Powell. This former Gator commit will visit the Gamecocks on January 26th. He is scheduled to visit Southern Cal this coming weekend and is set for Arkansas February 1st. He plans to announce his decision on Signing Day on ESPNU. The Gamecocks have some work to do on him to "show the love" as many top programs want the services of this Daytona Beach native.
Da'Shawn Hand. This defensive end from Woodbridge, VA has named his top five via Twitter recently and has South Carolina in the mix with Virginia Tech, Alabama, North Carolina and Michigan. Recruiting services are touting Hand as the top player in the country for 2014.
Devaris Brunson. He had a pledge to become an ECU Pirate but now he has USC knocking on his door. Brunson, from Lake City, SC, is a linebacker that has improved his grades recently so some other programs are finally taking notice of his talents. If USC pushes for Brunson, he will say yes but will they push?
Deadrin Senat. This big defensive lineman out of Immokalee, FL has set his official visit with USC for the Gamecocks' primary recruiting weekend of January 18th. It would be nice to get this guy to help plug the middle for the USC defense. He is a former FSU commit.
Skai Moore. A linebacker, so you know USC is talking to him, has narrowed his choices to four programs after decommitting from Rutgers. Moore cited USC, Tennessee, Vanderbilt and Arkansas as the four under consideration. He will visit South Carolina this coming weekend.
The Gamecocks hosted the following players this past weekend: DJ Park, Shaq Wiggins, Ronnie Martin and Connor Mitch. Everyone except Wiggins also enrolled today for the Spring semester.
Na'Ty Rodgers. The Gamecocks have tried for a long time to reel this young man from Pomfret, MD in as one of their top offensive line targets. Rodgers will take his official visit to USC this coming weekend and it likely will come down to the wire between South Carolina and Maryland.
Alfy Hill. USC is no longer an option for him due to academics. He will be attending UNC Pembroke, a Division Two school.

Louisiana high school boxing began in 1931 and ran through 1958. During those years high school gyms all across the state were packed for bouts and many of these prep fighters moved on and earned scholarships to colleges and universities.
But more than that, the sports molded these young boys into men!
The state's best hall of fame prep boxers gathered with their family friends as the first 32 members of the Louisiana High School Boxing Hall of Fame were inducted on Sunday. These former champs also enjoyed joking around about the good old days.
