We booked our first cruise on a Carnival ship for my husband, adult daughter, and myself about a month before embarkation and received a call from Carnival ten days before our cruise offering us an upgrade from an Outside cabin to a balcony cabin at a discounted price. We decided to take the offer so we were moved to cabin #6388. We drove to North Bergen, NJ two days before the cruise to have a day to visit NYC. We stayed at the Comfort Inn and was very disappointed with the accommodations. They were definitely not up to typical Comfort Inn standards. We arrived at the port about noon the day of embarkation and the check in process was relatively quick.
After arriving on Glory we made our way up to the Lido deck for lunch at Guy's Burgers which was delicious. We then proceeded down to our cabin and our luggage was delivered within the hour. The first thing we noticed about our cabin was how spacious the cabin was which comfortably fit the three of us. My husband and I then noticed that our bed had a concave spot in the middle of each mattress so even though the mattresses were put together as one bed you still couldn't sleep near each other because you would roll back into your respective hole. The beds seemed very old and were so compressed they didn't have any bounce to them and were like sleeping on a cement slab.
One other issue we had with our cabin is the fact that you could hear the sounds and music from the arcade in our cabin at all times day and night. We will forever have the Pac Man tune stuck in our heads! I reported the sounds to guest services and they stated that they had to come up to our cabin and validate that we were really able to hear the noises. They contacted us everyday to see if the noise was better but nothing ever seemed to be different. In the end they decided to give us a 15% discount on our cruise fares since they couldn't correct the problem. Honestly I would have rather had some good night sleeps rather than the discounts.
That being said the shows on the ship were wonderful; however, we didn't care for the comedy shows we attended. I didn't get to attend many of the events such as trivia because most of them were held in the Casino or a bar since I have asthma and cannot be around cigarette smoke. It would be nice if one of the cruise ship lines would periodically host a completely non-smoking cruise. I'm sure they wouldn't have a problem filling the ship!
We ate in the "Your Time Dining" dining room since they were unable to satisfy our request of the 6 pm seating in the main dining room. The food was typical dining room fare and was very tasty. We also ate in the steakhouse for our daughter's birthday. The steaks were delicious but were too big for me. The price of $35 per person I feel is too expensive and apparently most passengers agreed with me since the restaurant was mostly empty.
We stopped in Boston, Portland, ME, St. John, New Brunswick, and Halifax, Nova Scotia. We took a Duck Tour in Boston which was a couple of hours long and focused mainly on the historical sites around the city. Don't forget the most economical way to get around Boston is by using the public bus and subway system.
We took the House Island excursion in Portland, ME. They ferried us over to the island on the island owner's boat. There was not enough inside seating and the temperature was only in the 50's when we left port so it was an extremely cold ride. A brother and sister own the island and the brother is the person who gives you a tour of the Civil War era fort. The fort itself was interesting but he had a tendency to go off onto subjects that really had nothing to do with what we were viewing and was at times very boring. Part of the $99 price included a lobster dinner which was pretty good.
We rented our own vehicle in St. John, New Brunswick and took off to view the country side. We ended up out at St. Martin which was very beautiful; however, no one bothered to mention the tide is not far enough out to view the caves until midday or early afternoon. We talked to many people who had taken the ship excursion and they also were taken out there in the morning so they weren't able to see them either. Needless to say they were not happy. I enjoyed this day the most out of all of our stops.
We just decided to walk around Halifax rather than take a tour. They have built a lovely boardwalk along the water and it was nice just to leisurely stroll and relax.
Disembarkation went smoothly. We were waiting for a taxi but the line was enormous so we went downstairs, crossed the street and caught a taxi much quicker over there.
Overall not too bad a cruise; however, I can say this is the first cruise I have ever went home from feeling utterly exhausted from lack of sleep.

JONESBORO, AR (KAIT) – Whoever broke into the Valley View
Gifted & Talented House was not playing around.
Jonesboro police say someone stole somewhere between 130 and
200 pounds of Legos, valued at more than $2,000.
"I thought, who on earth would do this?" said Teresa Rogers,
the Valley View Gifted & Talented coordinator.
Rogers told police when she left the building on May 30 –
the last day of school – she locked the door. Rogers, however, said she left
the deadbolt unlocked to allow easier access for the cleaning crew.
When she came back on
June 2, she noticed the door was unlocked and a few boxes had been moved around.
"I didn't even consider someone stealing something," she
Rogers finally discovered what was missing a week later while
setting up a summer Lego and robotics camp for some of her students.
"Whenever I started pulling out the Legos," she said, "I
noticed about two-thirds of my inventory was gone."
Many of the missing pieces were used by the school's robotics
team, the Blazer Bots, including an NXT Brick Lego robot worth about $200.
"To think that someone would take that away from the kids is
heartbreaking," Rogers said. "I hope that someone can recognize some of these
special pieces and give us a call – let us know that they found them."
Rogers is cautiously optimistic that the school can catch
the culprit if someone is found with the NXT brick or the other robotic pieces because
they're not normally found in regular Lego sets.
"It's something that you can't purchase off the shelf,"
Rogers said.
The school has replaced a few Legos since the burglary was
reported, but some students and their parents have stepped in to help, too.
"I even had a few [people] to donate some Legos to try to
rebuild our inventory," Rogers said. "We will overcome it. It will just be
Rogers suspects a student or someone that knows the value of
the robotic pieces may be behind the break-in, but Jonesboro police have no
suspects at this time.
Anyone with information about the break-in is asked to call

TODAY'S MOST...Epic viral video of a special needs kid getting into college: This will make you smile. It's a Youtube video going viral, of a 20-year old with Down Syndrome getting an acceptance letter that tells him he's gotten into a special program at Clemson University. The student's name is Rion Holcombe. It takes him a little while to realize what the letter says, but once he figures it out, the absolute joy is fantastic. Rion's mom writes that "this is an amazing two year program for a small number (15) of young adults with special needs. This isn't a program in which one can earn a degree...I love that kids like Rion get to experience college life and this type of independence." The video's been viewed over 640,000 times.

FLOODING: People warned they may have to leave homes
9:00am Tuesday 27th November 2012 in News By Mark Taylor, Reporter. Please call me on (01865) 425411
EMERGENCY planners last night warned it was possible some householders in Oxfordshire would be advised to leave their homes over the following 24 hours.
The county council said all property owners, particularly those who have property in the floodplain and close to watercourses, were urged to take action to protect property.
A spokesman said: "It is possible that some householders will be advised to leave in the next 24 hours.
"If this happens, you will be advised to leave your home by members of the emergency services or council staff who will visit homes.
"Rest centres will be set up nearby to accommodate people who have been advised to leave their homes. Residents will be told the location of the rest centre at the time they are advised to leave their homes and offered help if necessary.
"There is no need to leave your home unless you are specifically advised to do so. However, people should continue to be vigilant throughout the county."
An emergency rest centre has been set up at Blackbird Leys Leisure Centre, in Blackbird Leys Road, in preparation for victims of flooding.
All activities and bookings have been cancelled at the centre while the flood warning remains in the city.

Jeep pulled out all the stops unveiling the new 2014 Cherokee in New York Wednesday. The best part for Toledo - it's a source of local pride. The Cherokee was built right here in the Glass City, and brought 1,100 jobs to the area.
Auto show attendees and journalists were treated to a rollout that included a dramatic video preview, then two versions of the new (Trail Hawk and Limited) Cherokee being driven over fake rocks on stage.
The new Jeep will be the first mid-size SUV to offer, as standard, a 9-speed automatic transmission. It will have a 3.2 liter V6 engine, or a 16-valve, 2.4 liter Tiger Shark engine, which could get 31 miles per gallon.
Among many new features, the new Cherokee has tech-gadgets that would wow any car fanatic.

Haiti: Racism and poverty
The people of Haiti are as poor as human beings can be.
According to the statisticians of the World Bank and others who speculate about how many Anglos can dance on the head of a peon, Haiti may either be the second, third or fourth poorest country in the world.
In Haiti's case, statistics are irrelevant.
When large numbers of people are reduced to eating dirt – earth, clay – it is impossible to imagine poverty any more absolute, any more desperate, any more inhuman and degrading.
Goldman Sachs paid out over £18 billion in bonuses to its traders last year, about 50 percent more than the GDP of Haiti's 8 million people.
The chairman of Goldman took home more than $70 million and his lieutenants – as Zoellick once was – $40 million or more, each.
It should be clear that someone like Robert Zoellick is likely to be totally bemused by Haiti when his entertainment allowance could probably feed the entire population for a day or two. It is not hard to understand that Mr. Zoellick cannot understand why Haiti needs debt relief.
Haiti is now forced by the World Bank and its bloodsucking siblings like the IMF to pay more than $1 million a week to satisfy debts incurred by the Duvaliers and the post-Duvalier tyrannies. Haiti must repay this debt to prove its fitness for "help" from the Multilateral Financial Institutions (MFI).
One million dollars a week would feed everybody in Haiti even if only at a very basic level – at least they would not have to eat earth patties. Instead the Haitians export this money to pay the salaries of such as Zoellick.
The reason Haiti is in its present state is pretty simple: Canada, the United States and France, all of whom consider themselves civilized nations, colluded in the overthrow of the democratic government of Haiti four years ago. They did this for several excellent reasons:
- Haiti 200 years ago defeated the world's then major powers, France (twice), Britain and Spain, to establish its independence and to abolish plantation slavery. This was unforgivable.
- Despite being bombed, strafed and occupied by the United States early in the past century, and despite the American endowment of a tyrannical and brutal Haitian army designed to keep the natives in their place, the Haitians insisted on re-establishing their independence. Having overthrown the Duvaliers and their successors, the Haitians proceeded to elect as president a little Black parish priest who had become their hero by defying the forces of evil and tyranny.
- The new president of Haiti, Jean Bertrand Aristide, refused to sell out (privatize) the few assets owned by the government (the public utilities mainly).
- Aristide also insisted that France owed Haiti more than $25 billion in repayment of blood money extorted from Haiti in the 19th century as alleged compensation for France's loss of its richest colony and to allow Haiti to gain admission to world trade.
- Aristide threatened the hegemony of a largely expatriate ruling class of so-called "elites" whose American connections allowed them to continue the parasitic exploitation and economic strip mining of Haiti following the American occupation.
- Haiti, like Cuba, is believed to have in its exclusive economic zone huge submarine oil reserves, greater than the present reserves of the United States.
- Haiti would make a superb base from which to attack Cuba.
The American attitude to Haiti was historically based on American disapproval of a free Black state just off the coast of their slave-based plantation economy. This attitude was pithily expressed in Thomas Jefferson's idea that a Black man was equivalent to three fifths of a white man. It was further apotheosized by Woodrow Wilson's Secretary of State William Jennings Bryan, who expostulated to Wilson: "Imagine! Niggers speaking French!"
The Haitians clearly did not know their place. In February 2004, Mr. John McCain's International Republican Institute, assisted by Secretary of State Colin Powell, USAID and the CIA , kidnapped Aristide and his wife and transported them to the Central African Republic as "cargo" in a plane normally used to "render" terrorists for torture outsourced by the U.S. to Egypt, Morocco and Uzbekistan.
Before Mr. Zoellick went to Haiti last week, the World Bank announced that Mr. Zoellick's visit would "emphasize the Bank's strong support for the country." Mr. Zoellick added: "Haiti must be given a chance. The international community needs to step up to the challenge and support the efforts of the Haitian government and its people."
"If Robert Zoellick wants to give Haiti a chance, he should start by unconditionally cancelling Haiti's debt," says Brian Concannon of the Institute for Justice & Democracy in Haiti. "Instead the World Bank – which was established to fight poverty – continues to insist on debt payments when Haitians are starving to death and literally mired in mud."
"After four hurricanes in a month and an escalating food crisis, it is outrageous that Haiti is being told it must wait six more months for debt relief," said Jubilee USA Network National Coordinator Neil Watkins.
"Haiti's debt is both onerous and odious," added Dr. Paul Farmer of Partners In Health. "The payments are literally killing people, as every dollar sent to Washington is a dollar Haiti could spend on healthcare, nutrition and feeding programs, desperately needed infrastructure and clean water. Half of the loans were given to the Duvaliers and other dictatorships and spent on presidential luxuries, not development programs for the poor. Mr. Zoellick should step up and support the Haitian government by canceling the debt now."
"Unconditional debt cancellation is the first step in addressing the humanitarian crisis in Haiti," according to TransAfrica Forum Executive Director Nicole Lee. "There is also an urgent need for U.S. policy towards Haiti to shift from entrenching the country in future debt to supporting sustainable, domestic solutions for development."
The above quotations are taken from an appeal by the organizations represented above.
Further comment is superfluous.
Poverty and globalization
President Jean Bertrand Aristide, now in enforced exile in South Africa, might be sardonically entertained by a new report just published by the world's Club of the Rich, the OECD – Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
This report, titled "Growing Unequal," examines the accelerating trend toward economic inequality in the societies of the world's richest countries.
The report contains several mind-blowing discoveries which will, no doubt, amaze journalists and policy-makers in the Western hemisphere and keep them entertained for many years.
The major finding is that globalization and free trade have hurt millions of people, particularly the poorest.
Another ground-breaking discovery is that "work reduces poverty."
One of these days Jamaicans and other Caribbean people may decide to find out whether these theses are true and whether, if they are, we should have signed on to the new EPA with the European Union.
If our ginnigogs were able and willing to read, they might become aware of a phenomenon called the "resource curse" which appears to condemn developing countries with enormous mineral wealth to misery, war, corruption and destitution.
If our ginnigogs could or would read, they might find it useful to discover whether an acre of land under citrus or pumpkins is not more productive, sustainable and valuable than that same acre destroyed for bauxite.
If our ginnigogs could or would read, they might become aware of the fate of the island of Nauru, "discovered" less than 200 years ago, mined for phosphate, returning a per capita national income rivaling Saudi Arabia's two and three decades ago and now to be abandoned because the land has been mined to death and is destined to disappear shortly beneath the waves of global warming.
Softly, softly, catchee monkee
If our ginnigogs were able to read and willing and able to defend the interests of Jamaica and the Jamaican people, they might discover that bauxite mining will, within a relatively short time, contaminate all the water resources of Jamaica, destroy our cultural heritage, wipe out our priceless biological diversity, deprave our landscape and reduce those of us who survive to a state of penury and hopelessness. Goodbye tourism, goodbye farming, welcome hunger, welcome clay patties.
According to the experts, if you drop a live lobster into a pot of boiling water the creature will make frenzied efforts to escape. If, on the other hand, you put him in a pot of cold water and bring it slowly to the boil, the lobster will perish without a struggle.

9 thoughts on "Haiti: Racism and poverty"
Paul Cormier
Some of the accusations you have in this piece are not backed up by evidence. Having been deployed to Haiti in 1994 and working there every year since with my foundation, I find it hard to believe that you hold Aristide to the level you do. Most facts would indicate that if Aristide did not leave the country, he would have been assasinated. We gave him the option to leave the country. He was not kidnapped. My information may or may not be true. If I am wrong, then why hasn't Haiti allowed Aristide to return? Is it that they cannot guarantee his safety?↓
Paul Cormier
While Aristide was in office, my foundation was never allowed a meeting with him. He lived a lavish life with beautiful mansions, more than that was needed to sustain a comfortable life as president. He began as a great president, but fell into the life of the burgeous. Preval, although not as popular as a linguist, has maintained a less colorful lifestyle working with the interest of the Haitian people as his first priority. All he needs now are the resources needed to do the project that are so much needed in this country.

The worst thing that could happen to Haiti would be that there would be more minerals or other valuables discovered there, that would make it, again, of real interest to the U.S. and Europe, or any other nations whose leadership will ALWAYS devastate any nation that has something powerful nations may desire.
Even a passing fancy for something to be found in a small nation, is as great a danger to the smaller nation as is beauty in a peasant maiden if discovered by a wealthy or "noble" landowner. The more powerful nations will rape and ravish until the victim of their greed and ruthlessness becomes used-up and ugly in the eyes of the ravisher. There will be no "noblesse oblige,"—no slightest inclination of the ravisher to restore its victim to health and self-sustenance. Such notions now have been recognized as "unrealistic."
Although I am a Christian, it occurs to me as I write this, that the ravisher in today's world is extremely likely to be a "Christian," (man or nation) who later will refer to the ravished girl or nation as inferior, without character, and responsible for its (her) own destruction.↓
Mr. Cormier might have something to say but is he willing to tell the truth? Questions:
1) Who would assassinate Aristide?
2) Who would have been behind the assassination?
3) Why would he have been assassinated?
4) Why was it important for Aristide to meet with Mr. Cormier?
5) The way it is and has been for years now, who is helping who in Haiti?
The Haitian people did not send Aristide into exile. Mr. Cormier knows that. Mr. Cormier is an intelligent man. He knows who refused Aristide to even talk to his friends in Haiti while in exile. Mr. Cormier should know that President Thabo Mbeki received specific order not to give telephone access to Aristide.↓
Preval wins approval because he is willing to go with the system. Betraying his own people, and country for power, closing his eyes to allow the predators to ruin the country. Free Enterprise zone, free trade agreement, Fort Liberte for grab, Mole St Nocolas…, Wow!!!the aggressor cries: "Long Live Rene!! Preval For King!!(King of dust, pssst,he has lost his mind!)↓
The nails have been hit. Neocolonialism in full force,the batlle ground for greed, impotence of local politics, favor to the allies:the would-be elites, destructions of the "masses" poor, no child support to the foreigh fathers of the occupation, the rapists and the abusers of young girls and children are ignored, Haiti has seen the worst nightmares.↓

It's sad to see all of these negative posts. I'm sure these people spend most of their income trying to make a difference in Haiti, or do they? Most of the time I get replies from people who have a certain mind set and are unwilling to entertain a different point of view. Words only can not change a nation. Aristide proved that. You ask "who would assasinate Aristide?" I'm sure Guy Phillipe or his group just may have an interst. I don't know were You got the idea that I should meet with Aristide. If you haven't studied the history of Haiti you may want to start. This country has been unable to improve because of a government that is greedy and corrupt. There have been the same seven families that have ruled this country since back in the days following slavery. I think the best thing we can do is not curse the darkness, but start trying to make a difference by volunteers your minds and your resources to make a difference, one Haitian at a time. If we can educate the children of Haiti, maybe we can improve their way of life and the way of life of their families.
Our evil discussions, blaming each other, will do nothing to improve Haiti. We must be positive and do what we can, as individuals, to make a positive difference in this wonderful little country, filled with wonderful resilient people.↓

360 pano under the trees at the Mare Island cemetery
360 pano from the top of the Mare Island cemetery
During Saturday night's Nocturnes alumni event on Mare Island, I did a series of 360 degree night panoramas using a Nodal Ninja R1 pano head and the new no hood version of the Tokina 10-17mm fisheye lens on a Canon 5D Mark II. This setup only requires 4 shots around to make a complete spherical 360 degree panorama. While I was shooting there were kids running through the graveyard with flashlights and glow sticks, people dressed up in costume, and a group of ghost hunters who were trying to communicate with the dead.
Access to this previously off-limits area is now possible by visiting the Mare Island Shoreline Heritage Preserve on Friday, Saturday or Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.. The Preserve happened to be open until 10 p.m. for a Halloween party, and we were able to photograph in the cemetery after dark. Visiting the Preserve will also give you a glimpse of the buildings along the shoreline, but this area is fenced until further cleanup happens.
Stay tuned for more 360 night panoramas of historic Mare Island!

Select Route:
This climb is great for boulderers. It starts out with sidepulls and crimps to a stiff dead point to a flat hold. Crimp like mad on the razor crimps to a three points off dyno/deadpoint to a jug. Rest up for the final boulder problem crimping and side pulling to the obvious undercling where you'll pull on better crimps above the roof to get established on the slab. Follow the crimps on the slab to the top. This climb is essentially a long V7/8 boulder problem. I think most people stick clip the first two bolts.
This is the first line to the right of Pelicans and Walkin a Thin Line. It takes the over hanging face line directly up and over the mini roof meeting back up with Pelicans on the slab above. Rap back down off the double U-loop anchors.
Seven bolts to a two bolt anchor. Shares the anchor with Pelicans to its left and Walkin a Thin Line further left.

I made these one evening when my young grandchildren (ages 3, 5, and 7) were here for supper. They really enjoyed them. I used unsweetened frozen raspberries (thawed) and that worked out just fine. I left off the walnuts, too. (A sprinkle of granola or toasted coconut might be a nice garnish instead of walnuts if kids don't care for nuts). These little salads were cute, fun, and a nice flavor combination.

Research Triangle Park News
N.C. positioned to be leader in nanotechnology
It's fitting North Carolina is hosting this conference. With its rich mix of life-science leadership, intellectual fire power flowing from our universities, a history of major public investment in the sciences, and an ever-growing reputation in nanotechnology, the state is a serious international player in all things small.
How small? Nanotechnology refers to anything that is between one to 100 nanometers big. One nanometer is one billionth of a meter. Technology breakthroughs in the past few decades have enabled nanotech pioneers to custom build from the ground up – one atom at a time. And that translates into products that are environmentally friendly, stronger, smarter – and can have a radical impact on the ways things are produced in our world. In short, nanotechnology is sparking the next Industrial Revolution.
This revolution has been fueled by significant government investment from multiple nations, growing from $1 billion in 2000 to $8.4 billion in 2008. Commercial investment went from $900 million in 2000 to $8.6 billion in 2008. To date, the total U.S. government investment has been $18 billion, with $1.7 billion allocated for this fiscal year.
Nanotech is already commonplace in the products we use. It impacts everything from our clothes (through micro fibers that can repel water, adjust to temperature, and even change color) to how we combat global warming (through advances such as pollution eating compounds and highly efficient solar panels). Its greatest potential for immediate impact is in the health care field – from highly targeted drug delivery for cancer patients to early detection of diseases.
This is good news for North Carolina. Across the state, there are 35 research centers and departments focused on nanobiotechnology, ranging from N.C. A&T State University to UNC Charlotte. At East Carolina University, a team of medical, pharmacology and toxicology experts have developed a national reputation in nanotoxicology. Additionally, a 2009 report by nanotech trade publication "Small Times" placed N.C. State University third in the nation for nanotech commercialization and UNC-Chapel Hill as fifth. NCSU also was 10th in nanotech research.
There are also more than 40 nanobiotechnology companies across the state – driving innovation in drug delivery, drug discovery and advanced medical technology. One of the companies, Liquidia, was founded in 2004 by Joseph DeSimone and his colleagues at UNC-Chapel Hill, and based on his research in material science and drug delivery. Liquidia just received a $10 million investment from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to bolster the development of safer and more effective vaccines and therapeutics.
Blue Nano, an international nanomaterials manufacturer headquartered in Charlotte, produces large quantities of high quality nanomaterials for customers in the United States, Europe and Asia for use in clean energy products like solar cells, lithium ion batteries and fuel cell catalysts. They also serve the medical, automotive and electronics sectors among others.
To support companies like Liquidia and Blue Nano and to position North Carolina to be a national leader, the Center for Innovation of Nanobiotechnology was established in 2009. Much like the N.C. Biotechnology Center established by the N.C. General Assembly in 1981, COIN helps connect a network of entrepreneurial companies with the resources they need to thrive – including a supportive regulatory environment and investor and client introductions. This intentional industry-building has paid off significantly for the N.C. Biotech Center – positioning our state as one of the national leaders in biotech. With more than 500 companies employing more than 58,000 employees, the industry generates more than $64 billion in economic activity (a nice return for the $1.2 billion the state has invested in the past 10 years).
The nanobiotechnology sector holds similar potential. But according to Griffith Kundahl, COIN's executive director, there are three critical strategies that the state needs to realize in order to reach this potential. This includes creating a workforce at the community college level skilled in electron microscopy and the other tools integral to nanotech growth; investing in improved capabilities and infrastructure, like nanomaterial characterization laboratories (that allow companies to test new nano-tech combinations more quickly and cheaply without having to send them out of state); and pairing these effective nanotechnologies with the state's industrial and academic strengths in areas such as manufacturing, biotech, agriculture, textiles, aerospace and environmental health and safety.
Kundahl says, "if executed in a timely fashion, North Carolina will garner its well-deserved share of this trillion dollar market." No small potatoes for our state's economic future.

Gov. Dannel P. Malloy intends to declare a state of emergency due to the blizzard that is expected to wallop Connecticut Friday through Saturday, and is asking residents to limit non-essential travel during the storm.
"People need to take this storm seriously," Malloy said in a statement. "If current predictions are accurate, we will need people to stay off the roads so that emergency personnel and utility crews can get to the places they need to get to, and to make sure that our plows can keep critical roadways clear. Please stay home once the weather gets bad except in the case of real emergency."
Per Malloy's office, A Declaration of Emergency provides the governor with a number of emergency powers, including:
- The ability to modify or suspend any state statute, regulation, or requirement (for example: altering work hours, waiving licensing requirements, etc.).
- The ability to order civil preparedness forces into action
- The ability to designate vehicle and person routes and movements
The governor's office has also indicated that Malloy is considering closing roads during the storm as early as noon Friday.

Hustwick: defending as a team keeps clean sheets
6:00pm Friday 31st August 2012 in Sport By Tim Ashton, Sports Editor
Hampton & Richmond Borough defender Max Hustwick has played down the praise lavished on him by boss Mark Harper.
Hustwick and Darren Powell are the central partnership of a Beavers defence that has kept four clean sheets in four games, with the team sitting on top of the Ryman League Premier Division.
The pair were praised by Harper as being the standout defenders who have been "especially strong" at the back.
But 30-year-old Hustwick, who joined from Lewes in the summer, believes their team ethic is the reason behind the good start.
He said: "We have started very well and it is nice to get the praise, but we have defended well as a team.
"Darren and I are doing OK, but if everyone does what they are meant to then we all benefit.
"Our pre-season was not perfect so this good start is a little bit of a surprise but I am enjoying it."
The Beavers travel to Enfield tomorrow looking to make it five clean sheets and, according to Harper, they have been helped by lady luck.
The manager said: "Defensively we have looked reasonably good, and Darren and Max have been especially strong.
"We have got bodies in the way when we have needed to and Rodney [Chiweshe] has made some good saves, although he has also dropped some clangers – so we have had some luck along the way.
"To be honest, we played better football last year and lost. But we are making our own luck, grinding out results and managing to keep clean sheets at the same time."
The Beavers make their first foray into the FA Cup on September 8 with a trip to AFC Kempston Rovers, from the Premier Division of the United Counties League.
Hustwick admitted to knowing nothing about the side, but Harper will be sending his scout to a Kempston match this weekend.
Harper said: "I will get a write-up about them and I will use that going into my training sessions before the match.
"I made that mistake last year when I didn't send a scout to check out Arlesey and we got knocked out really early in the FA Cup.
"I am not making that mistake again."

T om Tykwer's Run Lola Run may have been the most aptly titled film in the recent New Directors/New Film series, held this spring at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. What audiences saw there, and have been filling German theatres to witness, are propulsive images of the title character (played by Franka Potente) dashing toward a date with destiny. That there are several options regarding the outcome of her adventure is what expands the movie's singular, 20-minute action to feature-film length (a brief 80 minutes). We see Lola run from her apartment and through the streets of Berlin three times, in identical patterns with varying conclusions.
The job of matching the look during the film's twice-repeated exterior stretches of location shooting fell to director of photography Frank Griebe, working on his sixth collaboration with Tykwer. It was not easy. "It was summer in Berlin, but it was not such a good summer," says Griebe. "We had many, many rainy days. I tried to match, but we had only 30 shooting days, and not much money."
Since camera movement was key to the film's style, Griebe relied mostly on daylight for the running shots, with a complement of soft fill. To keep the light consistent, the DP tested combinations of camera filters, finally settling on a blend of sepia and coral. Beyond this, any variations in the weather or light quality are likely to be obscured by the movie's breathless, headlong rush of a style.
The 35mm camera was often positioned on Griebe's shoulder as he rode a special motorcycle rig. "Franka runs very fast through small places," the cinematographer explains. "At first, we tried a bicycle, but she was too fast. So we took a four-wheeled motorcycle with a seat, I put the camera on my shoulder, and said, 'Franka, run.' " Potente's athletic exertions are viewed from multiple vantage points, with shots of her pumping arms and flopping, dyed red mane seen to particular advantage in front- and right-angle shots. Sometimes to save time, two cameras were set up in a pickup truck, replacing the single-camera motorcycle rig, which required more takes. "Franka is a smoker, and she needs many puffs between every take," adds Griebe.
Handheld was only one of the film's shooting modes. Steadicam was used during a repeated segment when Lola stops by the bank where her father works, and during some running scenes. "We used everything," says Griebe. "We have crane shots and many handheld. We used all kinds of lenses, wide-angle and long lenses, and sometimes the Cooke zoom." The movie is a potpourri of formats, with animation taking over for the image of Lola running down the stairs of her apartment building.
The most noticeable visual break is between scenes that include Lola or the boyfriend she is rushing to rescue, which are shot on film, and all other sequences, which are done in video. When we are privy to the behind-closed-doors behavior of Lola's father and a co-worker, for example, the images have the crude quality of reality TV, but as soon as Lola bursts into the room, the frame shifts to comparatively vibrant 35mm.
"I used a very old video camera, because I liked the look," says Griebe of the non-digital piece of equipment he dug up for these scenes. "The new ones, I think, are too good. With the old camera, the transfer is very bad--I like it." For the filmed sequences, the DP considered using Super 16, but 35mm provided a stronger contrast to the look of the video images. Still, Griebe didn't want too slick a film look; he chose Kodak 5293 stock, and then pushed it two stops. "I wanted it to be not so clear, a little bit grainy," he explains. "The film stock is much too good, I think."
Sets like the bank, which were captured in both film and video, needed some adjustment. "I changed the light to reduce the contrast when we went to video," says Griebe. "But I still mixed Kino Flos and HMIs. Everything had to go fast, and HMIs and Kino Flos are very easy. Kino Flos especially make a nice light in a small location. You can put them anywhere."
One luxury the DP had on Run Lola Run was an extensive preproduction period. "Tom and I started about six weeks before shooting. We talked a lot about ideas, about the look and the colors." It was decided that a crucial pause in the action, when Lola and her boyfriend are seen together in bed, would be shot with heavy red gel on the lamps, for example.
Though Tykwer's script was somewhat technically detailed, the nature of the project meant that storyboards were required. The director and DP collaborated on these, working out the composition, length of shots, and camera format. "After discussing how to make the shots, in handheld or Steadicam or whatever, then I said, 'OK, where can I put my lamps?' " Griebe recalls. "Of course, when you're actually shooting the film, you may start the first day and everything's fine, and then the second day something happens. The weather's bad, but the people are there, and you need new ideas. You just have to change things. I have not made a lot of films, just five for cinema and two for TV, but I learned this."
Griebe spent three years working in a lab before going to film school in Berlin. "I worked as a clapper loader and focus puller, and I met Tom when we were both working as projectionists at a cinema. He said, 'I want to be a director,' and I said, 'I want to work camera,' so we made the first short film." Two shorts followed, including one with some similarity to Run Lola Run. "It was a couple in one room, also three times. First the boy comes late, then the girl comes late, and I don't remember what happened the third time. But it planted the idea for Lola."
Tykwer and Griebe's first full-length film together, the TV drama Deadly Maria, earned the DP several awards, including the Kodak Prize and the German Camera Prize. Their first feature, Winter Sleepers, a romantic thriller shot in Super 35 in the Bavarian Alps, was a considerable challenge for Griebe.
"It was a big film, shot in the mountains with snow and many, many problems. After this, Tom said to me, 'Let's make a film very simply, with a camera on the shoulder, and shoot on the streets of Berlin.' After we finished, we were editing, and we said, 'Oh, nice, nice.' Suddenly, many people were saying, 'Wonderful, this is a new kind of film,' and it was a really big success. It surprised us." Sony Pictures Classics is hoping the movie will have the same effect on American audiences when Run Lola Run is released this summer.
But Griebe is ready to get back to work. "I'm in preproduction with Tom on the next film, a love story. I hope it's not so simple as Run Lola Run--I like it to be complicated."

A Method to Prevent Airway Obstruction in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Stanford University, 2005 - $20,000Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a clinical disorder characterized by instability of the upper airway during sleep, leading to frequent episodes of breathing cessation (apnea) or decreased airflow, during which the patient has a brief arousal from sleep that allows for the resumption of breathing. These episodes can occur 400-500 times per night, resulting in excessive daytime sleepiness that can lead to increased risk of cardiovascular events, stroke, car accidents, and premature death. There are numerous treatments for OSA currently on the market, but most of them have poor efficacy, poor patient compliance due to discomfort, and/or are very invasive. In response to this market need, this E-Team developed the Minimally Invasive Tongue Advancement Device (MiTAD), a tongue implant made of shape memory material that decreases the risk of obstruction during sleep by bringing the tongue upwards and forwards, increasing the cross-sectional area of the airway. The device can be implanted in an outpatient setting using a catheter-like delivery system: the implant is compressed and packed into the delivery system, then inserted by making a puncture in the lower aspect of the chin.
The E-Team believes its procedure is less invasive than current OSA treatments, provides for more accurate advancement of the tongue, allows the patient adequate tongue movement during speaking and swallowing, and comes at a low cost.

NBA Regular Season 2012-2013, Game 9:
Utah Jazz (4-4) @ Boston Celtics (4-3)
#UTAatBOS Game Stream -- CelticsBlog (SB Nation Blog) -- Jazz vs Celtics coverage
Anything is possibullllle!!
New look Jazz going up against an old team hungry to keep their window for a title open. We don't usually win in Boston; but we don't usually have a team where EVERYONE POSITION CAN HIT THREES. So, it'll be interesting for sure.
Probable Starters:
Jason Terry started last game for the Celtics, and I am assuming he does so against us. If not it could be Courtney Lee. Also it's good to note that Rondo is averaging 13 freeking assists a night! Wow. That's like, Jamaal Tinsley level right there.
If Boston goes small for a lot of the game expect us to go with "SuperLineUpNumberOneOkayInitiate" which is Mo Williams, Randy Foye, Paul Millsap, Al Jefferson, and Derrick Favors. (SL#1OKinit) (Mike Sanders is in charge of naming everything, and he reads a lot of Tom Clancy novels)

Happy 10th birthday, Alijah!
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Alijah, Personal
Wow. Today, my son Alijah turns 10 years old. As a parent, it feels impossible to not look back and reminisce. Ten years--a full decade. So much time, and yet it feels almost like an instant. I'm so happy to see him get excited about his birthday coming, and hearing the little things he is interested in doing to celebrate, comparing them to the things I remember wanting to do back when I was a ten-year-old little boy. It's also interesting to remember the post I wrote five years ago, when he turned 5. It was the first birthday where he really understood that it was his day, the day he was born, and where he picked what he wanted to do (eat dinner at Red Robin because he liked the cartoonish bird "statue" they have at the restaurant.)
Since then, life has changed quite a bit for Alijah. In the past five years, he's gone from Kindergarten to fourth grade, moved four times, became a wrestling fan, suffered the separation (and subsequent divorce process) of his parents, put up with the stressed demeanors of his parents as a result, became a Seahawks/Falcons/Dolphins/Patriots/Eagles/Brief 49ers NFL fan, worked on his pronunciation and enunciation through speech therapy, began work on improving his sensory processing, developed an affinity for wearing suits, tuxedos, and ties, gained a stepmother (my wife Taylor) who he has loved for a few years, along with a bunch of other things that contribute to his personality, making him uniquely "him." It's been a joy to see him grow up, from infant to today.
I love this little guy, and I miss him. After my separation, I spent a few hours with Alijah every Monday and Wednesday after school, as well as every other weekend. This went on for almost three-and-a-half years, getting to spend time with my son on half of the days in a given month. I strongly believe that fathers need to be present and relevant in the lives of their children, both in the case of a divorce as well as in homes where both parents are together, and I wanted to make sure I was there to continue the most important job I ever took on, which is being a parent. Eventually, though, something had to give. Having to pay child support, while also having to pay for multiple costly legal battles brought on by my ex-wife meant I had to focus on generating more income to cover the extra expenses, and that meant I had to spend more time working and less time with Alijah - I could no longer stop working three hours early twice a week, spend time with him, and also maintain the ability to afford pay all the bills.
Since the start of this school year, I see him every other weekend until at least such a time where the expenses are gone or minimized. It feels like a broken promise, and not one that I have the power to fix with any immediacy. Having to choose work over your child due to finances is a tough pill to swallow. Hopefully I can come up with an alternative in the near future--in the meantime, I love hearing about his day during our nightly phone calls and FaceTime sessions. It's been nice seeing him more through November and December with holidays and school breaks, but those have come to an end now that we're in January.
I often try to see life, or life's moments, through Alijah's eyes (not always his specifically, but through the eyes of a child.) The simpler mind of a child amazes me, and is an important lens that keeps me grounded to remember minimalism in many ways. Some things are so important, that you shouldn't let more important things get in the way. To notice what those things are, you have to strip away the challenges and struggles of everyday life, and choose to do what's right despite how you feel about it or how others act towards you. It's a value I'd like him to learn and practice as well.
I'm blessed with a son who loves to laugh and be silly, loves his video games, and truly enjoys spending time with the people he loves. One who is cautious, but doesn't give up when he wants to beat a little challenge that he has set for himself. Still playful and loving, and somehow continues to see me as a cool Dad. He is someone I can just look at and feel that unconditional love that a child feels for their parents, the kind that deserves to be seen as an honor to receive, and a reminder of your responsibility to love them back with that same intensity. If you're a parent, please recognize it, cherish it, and don't let anyone or any organization come between it or demean it.
It's been ten years that I've been a parent, and that time has flown by. In eight years, Alijah will be an adult. The older he gets, the faster the time seems to go, and the more I feel like those years will pass right by me with the amount of time that I currently spend with him. I don't want to miss anything, and I want to equip him and prepare him to be the best citizen, man, friend, husband, and father that he can be. One who loves and respects his fellow men and women, and loves God.
I'm so excited to see how he continues to grow and change, and at the same time, I wanna keep him where he is now, and miss the tiny little boy that I carried around in my arms almost a decade ago. Life goes on, and the greatest thing we can do is make the best of it for ourselves, and for those around us.
Happy birthday, little guy. I hope one day when you're older, you'll be able to read this and know that you're loved more than everyday life can communicate. I love being your father.

Play therapy, whether group or individual, is aimed at releasing pent-up emotionality through the use of various play techniques. This type of therapy is often used in the treatment of behavior problems in young children.http://behaviouralsciences.net
Nice post with photos. Happy birthday
Behavioral science study the human behavior. behavior can be action as a stimuli response. Behavior can be usual, rare, satisfactory, or undesirable. Behaviors can be inherited or adapted or can be both. Human estimate the suitability of behaviors practice societal pattern and adjust behavior by means of social limitation. Behavior is the highly essential human activity, while it can perform a role in judgement of disorders such as the autism spectrum disorders.

People nowadays often neglect first hand child raising because of how the world seems to revolve so quickly. We go to work, and earn, pay bills, and send our children off to school, and make our family well off. That's the plan, isn't it? The overall picture of how life should be. But how about the little things? The tiny details about being a parent. Sure, it is just about getting rich. It's about family bonding, and good child raising. The happiness seeing your son grow, his firsts, his achievements in school, how he learned bike, what's his favorites. The little things. Simple yet so surreal. Simple but could be the main source of happiness not even hundred dollars can compensate. I adore this dad who keeps in touch with his son in his growing age. Keep being an inspiration!

It wasn't scheduled to take place but it did. The cargo ship HR Constitution left San Diego a month ago carrying the entire America's Cup circus, minus Oracle Racing, Luna Rossa and Emirates Team New Zealand, and headed to Naples, the next venue of the America's Cup World Series. A number of teams, including Artemis Racing and Green Comm Racing, had expressed their interest in having a brief stopover in Valencia in order to offload their containers and boats and take advantage of the three-month hiatus by carrying out winter training sessions in the venue of the 32nd and 33rd America's Cups.
It turned out that HR Constitution brought Valencia much more Christmas gifts than expected. The cargo ship arrived in Valencia on Tuesday, docked on Wednesday and offloaded a total of 104 containers, belonging to America's Cup Race Management (ACRM) and six teams, Green Comm Racing, Artemis Racing, Team Korea, Aleph, Team Energy and China Team. Then on Thursday it was the turn of close to 30 boats, tenders and racing yachts to be offloaded.
There are now six AC45 yachts in Valencia, four of them with their platforms assembled (Green Comm Racing, Artemis, Team Korea and Aleph) while the remaining two (Energy and China Team) are in their respective containers.
In regards to the team schedules for the next three months, it is clear that Artemis and Green Comm will spend long hours off the Malvarosa beach, practicing with their AC45′s. It is the most obvious option since they both are "Valencian" in one way or another.
Artemis actually have two bases here. The first one belonged to Areva Challenge in the 32nd America's Cup and is located right inside Port America's Cup while the second one is in the small city of Sagunto, 20km to the north (click here for a view on Google maps). It was designed to become a mega-yacht boatyard and repair shop but the project never took off and its owners went bankrupt. Given the immensity and complex logistics and handling of an AC72 yacht and her wing, it is probably the ideal one with plenty of empty space around an immense hangar. In addition, unlike Valencia's darsena, access to the Mediterranean is much simpler and direct.
The platform of the modified ORMA60 trimaran is currently sitting in front of the hangar, most probably waiting for her wing to arrive from the Future Fibres factory, a few kilometers inland. I guess it will not be long before we see her sailing off the Valencia coast.
Green Comm Racing challenges for the 34th America's Cup representing the Real Club Náutico Valencia, so it is the home team. After a well-deserved holiday break, the team will regroup during the second week of January in order to train for approximately two months on home waters. With the Naples event starting on April 7th, the entire America's Cup "army" should leave Valencia no later than mid March. Regarding the other four teams in Valencia, VSail.info has no information as to what plans they have or whether they will indeed train here.
As for the remaining three teams, Oracle Racing should have their four AC45 yachts in San Francisco while the Emirates Team New Zealand – Luna Rossa "joint venture" will be spending a couple of months in kiwi summer, training together and working on their AC72 sister yachts.

Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The phrase "solvent-free synthesis" conjures up a wide variety of images and ideas amongst the chemistry community. Solvent-free could refer to anything from a mixture of reagents combined without the addition of added solvent—i.e. simply running a reaction "neat", to the increasingly broad area of chemistry often referred to as solid-state synthesis. This synthetic approach is of particular interest in the modern world since it explores new ways to control the transformation of molecules without the necessity of employing large volumes of solvents, which often add to the cost and environmental impact of the reaction itself. Additional benefits of this approach are often seen in higher product yields and lower energy costs associated with both the running of the reactions and the subsequent clean-up of product. Overall, this makes many of the reactions performed under solvent-free conditions also appeal to those of us interested in the field of Green Chemistry.
This Special Issue on Solvent-Free Synthesis will offer a forum to present papers focused on the synthesis of molecules using a variety of novel and environmentally-friendly strategies. I hope that this issue will reflect the innovation and diversity of this growing field of chemistry.

Provider Tips for Discussing Conditional Confidentiality
- Be direct: Discuss confidentiality and the conditions under which it might be breached at the beginning of the visit.
- Keep it simple: Tailor your discussion to the youth's age and context.
- Communicate care and concern: Frame your need to breach confidentiality in the context of "getting them the help that they might need," rather than using the law, policy or phrase "I am a mandated child abuse reporter," as a reason to breach confidentiality.
- Assure two-way communication: Let your patient know if you are going to share information that they told you in confidence.
- Know the law.
- Check for understanding: Ask the patient to explain what they understand about conditional confidentiality.
- Document your communications, understanding and actions in the medical record.

Stryper Biography
IN THE BEGINNING Stryper, originally known as Roxx Regime, is a Christian Classic Metal band that was formed in Orange County, California by brothers Michael and Robert Sweet and guitarist Oz Fox. The band earned their stripes (pun intended) on the Los Angeles metal club circuit and in 1984, after recruiting bass player Tim Gaines, signed with Enigma Records and released their debut mini-album, The Yellow And Black Attack (Y&BA). ROCKIN' THE WORLD Their first full-length release, Soldiers Under Command, sold over half a million units worldwide in the eighties, and stayed on Billboard's Top 200 album chart for over forty weeks. In addition to the hard-rocking tunes that Stryper's core audience has come to expect, the ballad "Honestly" from their platinum selling 1986 release To Hell With The Devil hit the Top-40 charts. The video for "Honestly" rapidly became the number one most-requested video on MTV. 1988 saw the near-platinum release of In God We Trust, as well as renewed success on MTV, which was bombarded by thousands of phone requests for "Always There For You". CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE Coming off the acclaim of the 1989 tour supporting IGWT, the band released Against The Law which shipped gold in the fall of 1990. Despite its sales success, some fans were confused by Stryper's change in appearance and lyrics. This lead to numerous rumors and questions about the sincerity of Stryper's faith. "We were making a grab for musical freedom," says Robert Sweet, Stryper's drummer. "But we never should have let that been misinterpreted as a change in our beliefs." In 1991, Enigma Records went bankrupt, and Stryper was left without a record company. This was short-lived, as they were quickly picked up by Hollywood Records. In the summer of 1991 they released Can't Stop The Rock, a "best of" album with two new tracks. In January of 1992, Michael Sweet left the Stryper to pursue a solo career. Although officially Robert Sweet, Oz Fox and Tim Gaines continued as a three piece for another year, there were no further studio recordings as Stryper once Mike left. TOGETHER AS ONE? Michael Sweet was the first to re-appear back on the scene, when he secured a record deal with the Christian label Benson Records. (Benson distributed Stryper to the Christian retail stores in the 80's.) This union produced two albums: the self titled Michael Sweet, and Real. In 1998, Mike put out a full length demo by himself titled Truth. This generated label interest, and he was soon signed to Restless Records. The remastered and updated version of Truth was released early in 2001. Tim Gaines and Robert Sweet joined legendary Christian guitar player Rex Carrol in the band King James. Although King James released two releases to date, Tim and Bob only performed on the first album which was released in 1994 on the Christian label Star Song. Absent from the limelight for many years was Oz Fox, who last was seen making guest appearances on several Christian releases including JC & The Boyz, Bride, and Ransom. Oz and Tim joined forces once again in 1995 to form Sin Dizzy. Together with Bobby MacNeil on guitar and John Bocanegra on drums, they released He's Not Dead in 1998. Tim left Sin Dizzy in 2000 to continue working musically with his wife, Irene Kelly. Robert Sweet released his solo release titled Love Trash in 2000, in which he plays all the instruments on the album and features Larry Worley on vocals. (Ex-lead singer of Christian rock band Fear Not.) Robert recently formed Blissed with fellow members David Pearson, Trevor Barr, and Jeff Miller. Their album, Waking Up The Dead, was released in early 2003. CAN'T STOP THE ROCK On May 21st of 2000, history was made when Stryper hit the stage again for an informal jam at the first annual Stryper expo in New Jersey. December 16th of 2000 marked the first full blown set performed by Stryper in 9 years, held in Costa Rica. The second annual Stryper expo was held in Azusa, California on May 18th and 19th of 2001. The two day expo featured multiple bands and vendors, with Stryper closing the expo with a concert. Shortly after, Stryper played to one of their largest crowds at Cornerstone at Bushnell, Illinois on July 7th, 2001. FOR YOU On March 25th of 2003, Hollywood Records released Seven, The Best Of Stryper that included 2 new songs (Something and For You). That fall, they embarked on a 35 city tour that both fans and critics agreed was one of the hottest tours of 2003. In March of 2004, Stryper triumphantly returned to Puerto Rico to play a sold out show that was recorded for a DVD release scheduled to come out later in the year. The prayers of Stryper fan everywhere were answered in May of 2003 with the new live CD recording titled 7 Weeks: Live In America. REBORN Stryper went on from there to record a full studio album, "Reborn", in 2005. The album featured a much harder sound than their earlier material. "Reborn" would be offered to pre-order customers complete with an autographed STRYPER pocket bible. To promote the album to distributors, STRYPER's Michael Sweet and Oz Fox took the unorthodox but personal approach of meeting with EMI branch employees in early May in both Atlanta and Philadephia to perform acoustic renditions of 'Open Your Eyes', 'Make You Mine' and 'Passion'. MTM Music took the album for Europe, this version released in completely different cover art. The initial pressing of US copies would unexpectadly give early purchasers a collectors item, as the manufacturer pressed the CD with an incorrect running order to that detailed on the sleeve. 'Reborn' sold over 8,000 copies in its first week of US sales to debut at no. 111 on the Billboard charts. Notably STRYPER was set to co-headline what was billed as "Hell and Heaven United" alongside arch nemesi SLAYER and DEICIDE for the 'Monterrey Metal Fest', on September 23rd at the Coca Cola Auditorium in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. However, SLAYER withdrew, quoting "personal reasons". Whilst retaining ties to STRYPER, Oz Fox joined the ranks of BLOODGOOD in December. In early 2007 Sony BMG released a new STRYPER live album, entitled simply 'Extended Versions', featuring live performances from the 2003 reunion tour. 'Murder by Pride' is the forthcoming album by Stryper. The first single for the album, 'Peace of Mind', a cover of the classic Boston song, debuted at #27 on Christianrock.net on October 24, 2008 and peaked at #1 on February 22, 2009. Starting May 5, the band announced to release a sog per week on iTunes up until July 21. As each new song is released, the previous one will no longer be available until the full album is released. Robert Sweet does not play on the album because of some complicated reasons. Musicwise, the singer Michael Sweet has commented that "After years of speaking to fans and hearing comments like 'more guitars,' 'more solos' and 'more screams,' I decided to keep those comments in mind as I wrote each song. It was important to me to try to get back to that early sound of Stryper yet at the same time, to remain relevant today. It's certainly not an easy thing to do but as I listen to 'Murder By Pride', I think that was accomplished."

Transport Secretary visits Port of Felixstowe
it's been a landmark day for the Port of Felixstowe, the UK's busiest container port. Responsible for nearly half of all the goods that come into this country, today it handled its 70 millionth container.
There are concerns that Felixstowe is being held back by traffic problems on the A14, the major road, crossing our region, linking the docks with the motorway network. And there's a warning that introducing a toll section could drive business away.
Today the Transport Minister, Patrick McLoughlin, did his best to dispel those concerns.

PRESCOTT VALLEY, Ariz. — On a day filled with speeches from dignitaries including the vice president, the words of the lone survivor of a fire crew overrun by flames resonated deepest in an arena packed with firefighters from around the nation.
A stone-faced Brendan McDonough filed onto the stage at the end of the service and offered what's called "The Hot Shot's Prayer," calmly reciting the words: "For if this day on the line I should answer death's call, Lord, bless my Hotshot crew, my family, one and all."
He concluded by telling the crowd: "Thank you, and I miss my brothers."
McDonough spoke at a memorial for the 19 members of the Prescott-based Granite Mountain Hotshots who died June 30 when a wind-fueled, out-of-control fire overran them as they tried to protect a former gold-mining town from the inferno.
Vice President Joe Biden called them "men of uncommon valor" while thanking God that one member of the crew survived unhurt.
"There's an old saying: All men are created equal, and then a few became firefighters," Biden said. "Thank God for you all. Thank God for your willingness to take the risks you do."
The event was marked by an outpouring of support from firefighters from across the country, who traveled to the Prescott area to honor their fallen brethren.
They talked about how firefighters are accustomed to answering the call of duty when the alarm sounds and sends them into harm's way, whether it's a fire in a forest, house or apartment. And they noted that the same can be said when a fellow firefighter dies.
"When you hear of a death, especially a group of firefighters, and there's 19 that we're here to mourn, there's no question that at the drop of a hat you do what you can to go and support the fire service and their families," said Capt. Steve Brown of the Rancho Cucamonga, who brought 17 others in his department of 85 uniformed firefighters from California.

Here's a matchup to watch in Saturday's Browns-Ravens game:
Ravens WRs Anquan Boldin, Torrey Smith and Lee Evans vs. Browns CBs Joe Haden, Sheldon Brown and Dimitri Patterson
The weather conditions were unfavorable for a pass-heavy attack in the first meeting between these teams on Dec. 4 in Cleveland. At game time, winds were out of the south at 30 mph, and rain was also occassionally a factor. Facing these conditions, and matched up against a defense that had struggled vs. the run, the Ravens leaned on the ground game with great success, racking up 290 yards and controlling the Cleveland defense at the line of scrimmage.
By game's end, the Ravens had registered a convincing 24-10 victory, and they had done so attempting 55 rushes and just 24 passes. Ravens wideouts were targeted just 11 times in the win, catching a mere three passes for 64 yards.
Overall, the Browns' pass coverage was solid in defeat, something they can build upon as they try to turn the tables in the rematch.
Haden's athleticism and anticipation have made him a rising star. In the first meeting with Baltimore, he made a key play with Baltimore leading 7-0 late in the second quarter, knocking away a pass intended for WR Lee Evans in the endzone. The Ravens were forced to settle for a field goal. However, Haden surrendered a 32-yard completion to Smith, the speedy rookie from Maryland, in the final stages of the third quarter. On the play, Haden gave Smith a big cushion, and Smith broke free over the middle. Ravens QB Joe Flacco, who has a very strong arm, delivered a nearly 30-yard strike. S Mike Adams ran into Haden, and if not for Haden grabbing Smith's jersey after the catch, Smith could have broken free and potentially scored.
Brown played well in the first matchup. He starred in a two-play sequence early in the second half. On a second-down play, he covered Boldin tightly and broke up a pass. Then, on third down, he jammed Smith hard as the wideout came off the line, essentialy rendering him a non-target for Flacco, who was sacked by DE Jabaal Sheard. The ball came loose, and DE Jayme Mitchell recovered.
Patterson, who covers the slot, had a nice breakup of a short pass Flacco intended for Boldin early in the third quarter of that first matchup. Flacco didn't deliver the pass with quite enough pace, and Patterson was able to knock the ball away. But earlier in the game, Patterson was penalized for pass interference against Boldin, giving the Ravens a first down at the Cleveland three with 28 seconds left. Boldin beat Patterson off the line, which started the chain of events that led to the penalty.
Boldin and Smith are the Ravens' top options at wideout. Evans, a starter early this season before an ankle injury knocked him out of the lineup, has the ability to be a strong complementary performer if he can recapture his prior form. He has yet to make much of an impact, catching four passes for 74 yards in 21 targets.
