The poverty reduction strategy of the government of Brazil: a rapid appraisal
AbstractThis paper provides an overview of both the current structure of poverty in Brazil through a detailed poverty profile and of the aggregate dynamics of poverty in the last two decades. We then assess a number of government policies and programs which are either specifically designed to reduce poverty or have a direct bearing on current or future social welfare. A brief discussion of the Comunidade Solidária Programme is followed by an analysis of the coverage and targeting performance of mainstream programs in the areas of education, health, social security and other transfers. Our main findings are that a fifth of the Brazilian population live in indigence, and that this does not represent a substantial improvement over the situation two decades ago. A share of the blame for this must be borne by the highly regressive pattern of incidence of 'social expenditures' which are, on the whole, disproportionately appropriated by the middle-classes and the rich.

I've been quietly watching the performances this year with the feeling that we've been very naive in the way that we have developed this team. I've looked at how we have developed over the last two-three years and how the atmosphere around the team has changed over the past few months. We've lost a lot of experience, we have lost a lot of leadership and we've replaced them with 'work in progress'. I believe that every team needs to go through a transition at some point, but it's only ever right to do that if we have a suitable replacement.
Without Tony Richardson, without Jerricho Cotchery and without players like Alan Faneca and Damian Woody I just don't recognise the same quality through the team that we once had. We were spoiled for years having the same offensive line together, a FB that could and would run through Walls, recognise blitzes and pick up players on the edge. Rex Ryan was today quoted as saying that we built this team to run the football. We certainly did, but we didn't transition it to continue that legacy. I love John Connor, but he's not near T-Rich's standard yet. As good as Slauson has been, as bad as Hunter has been, if we are built to run the football, it doesn't seem as though the offensive coordinator agrees.
Ever since Rex took over from Mangini we have had an identity, we play good defence, we run the football we ask our quarterback to manage the game. That philosophy has taken us to two AFC championship games in a row, lofty heights that we are not accustomed too, maybe we needed to make that shift to be a Superbowl team and not a play-off team but It seems that somewhere in that locker room there is a little confusion. The defence generally still performs and with Rex in charge I don't think that will ever change. However there seems to be a lack of faith in this run game, an abandonment of the principle that has made us so successful in recent years.
I just don't think we have planned for the NFL. Injuries happen but our depth up front in the trenches where games are won and lost has to be questioned. Wayne Hunter was decent last year but we all saw his limitations. He was handed a starting job on the back of 'decent' performances. Our drafting on the line with Vlad looks highly faulty due to him looking completely out of his depth every time he takes the field. As John mentioned recently we can hide Hunters limitations to an extent through misdirection, delayed hand offs and tight end, full back help. Getting Mangold back will help but won't solve the problems we have.
I have seen too many occasions where we have emptied the backfield and spread the field for Sanchez. Every time that happens I'm thinking he better get that ball out quick as this offensive line isn't holding up, and he's probably thinking the same thing. The problem is that I don't believe the trust in Mason is there on those short routes like it was with Cotchery. I remember a number of short passes that Cotchery turned into first downs when we needed it. Although he is hardly doing a thing in Pittsburgh, I still think we miss him more than is being let on.
No this isn't a throw the towel in call it an end, far from it. We still have the potential to be a play-off team. We need our identity back, and no amount of bravado from Rex can capture that. We need to run the rock and get Sanchez back into a management roll until we can replace Hunter through the draft or free agency. Sanchez isn't a quarterback who likes throwing the ball away, he's going to want to make plays and with the pressure we are experiencing at the moment. That's only going to end badly.
We need to get out of this in house finger pointing, Holmes taking a shot at Schotty, Sanchez, Rex at Namath and Namath back at Rex. When Rex joined he brought the Jets together, us against the world but we were going to stick together. It's fractioned but not broken. 2-2 and some tough games out the way. Mangold coming back, McKnight starting to perform and maybe just maybe that speed edge rusher in Maybin that defences have to at least think about.
Problems? Sure there are problems, but let's get back to doing what we do best. Identity, identity, identity.....one shot at us, two back at you. We're coming for you, and we are not stopping, we are ramming it down your throat whether you like it or not. Jets Football!

SPOKANE, Wash. — Juniors Adam Miller, Jaycob Brugman and Brock Whitney helped lead BYU baseball to a 9-6 upset Saturday afternoon over No. 22 Gonzaga.
Miller, who improved to 3-6 with the victory, was one out shy of a complete game and needed the relief of Matt Milke on the mound to seal the upset with the bases loaded.
BYU improved to 21-17 overall and 8-7 in the West Coast Conference, while Gonzaga is now 28-14-1 and 15-6. It was the fourth upset by BYU this season over ranked teams (beat No. 2 LSU and twice defeated No. 21 Cal Irvine).
"We showed a ton of character in the way we approached the game today," BYU coach Mike Littlewood said. "It would have been easy to pack it in, but our team came out with a lot of energy for this game. I can't say enough about Adam Miller's performance. He (Miller) had that 'Desmond Poulson attitude' today in that he wasn't going to let anybody beat him. If it weren't for his high pitch count, I probably would have left him out there to finish the game. He was crisp, and I love to see that from Adam. He was ready to go today."
Miller said he knew this game was important to him and the team.
"It was a must-win game for us and I knew that," Miller said. "I felt my curve ball got stronger as the game went along. I just tried to pitch them inside and not let them get extended with all the lefties they had in their lineup."
The pitching duo of Miller and Milke, who recorded his third save, received plenty of help from the likes of Brugman, Whitney and several other teammates.
Adam Law produced BYU's fourth consecutive single of the third inning to score Hayden Nielsen and Jacob Hannemann as BYU took a 2-0 lead. Brock Whitney hit a wind-aided three-run homer to left field, extending that lead to 5-0 in the third.
"Adam (Law) came up with a big hit to get us on the board," Littlewood said. "I loved our attitude coming out before the game. We talked about having a short memory and moving on to the next game. He (Gonzaga pitcher Arturo Reyes) threw his slider a bit too often, and I'm proud of our hitters for plugging away."
In the fifth, Hannemann led off with a triple and scored off Trace Hansen's single. Then Brugman popped a two-run homer to left field that appeared to glance off the glove of the Gonzaga outfielder, increasing BYU's lead to 8-1. Brugman pounded a two-out homer over center, his second round-tripper of the day and seventh of the season, to put BYU up 9-5 in the ninth.
"On a normal day it probably would have been a warning track out," Littlewood said of Brugman's first home run.
Littlewood also said this win was needed in hopes of getting a WCC playoff spot.
"To me this was a do-or-die win," Littlewood said. "One of the top four spots in our league is within our grasp now."
The Cougars next play Tuesday night at Utah Valley University, before returning to WCC action, when a three-game series starts Thursday at Loyola Marymount University.

Deadmau5 Slams Justin Bieber: Grow the F--k Up Already!by Hilton Hater at . Updated at . Comments
Justin Bieber was involved in some kind of night club altercation late last week.
Initially, reports claimed the singer actually attacked a DJ in South Korea because he wasn't a fan of the music that man was spinning, but now it appears as if only heated words were exchanged between the pair.
Soon after hearing that something went down, though, Deadmau5 took to Twitter and made his take on the young artist very clear.
"Dear @justinbieber, would you please grow the f*ck up already? In the meantime, put a shirt on, and stay away from nightclubs," Deadmau5 wrote.
The DJ, who also hails from Canada, apologized on behalf of everyone from that nation and added that someone "needs to shut [Bieber] down."
"I'm sorry, but if you got up in my face while I was performing, and demanded me to play some bullsh*t, I'd probably punch you in the neck," added Deadmau5.
As you might expect, a few fans of Bieber - who released a new single, "All That Matters," yesterday - weren't pleased with Deadmau5's take... but that only fueled his rage.
"F*ck all these f*ckin popstar tw*ts,' he wrote. "Remember back in the day when my timeline wasn't filled with prepubescent c*nt rage?"
He then concluded by sarcastically addressing critics who accused him of being jealous of Justin Bieber.
"Ok kids. You got me. I'm just jealous that I will never be able to hire writers and producers to make me a chart topper. That's about it."
We would like to apologize on
behalf of Canada for the recent
obscene berating of one our
young stars,Justin Bieber,by a
person calling himself an artist
and a professional disc jockey.
Mr.DeadMouse is not an ambassador for Canada & is
not qualified to speak for our
nation.Canada is proud of our
many great talents;Shania,Avril,
Michael J.Fox,Martin Short,
Drake & Justin, to name a few.
We are truly offended at the temerity of this Mr.D.M. to apologize for a country in
which he not considered a
national treasure.
Lol uh like it or not justin deserved the "grow up already" hehe.. Though he can be immature attimes, he really is tryin. So cut him some slack.. Belieber all the way
Deadmau5 looks like a drug addict..like i've heard few of his tracks not that great though.Instead of bullying a teenager on social media ,he should concentrate more on getting to where the teenager whom he just Dissed is at the moment..that is ABOVE him!!..Justin is 19 he will eventually grow up,none of your concern sucker!
Yapi, I am just wondering why
you told me to STFU after my response to Denise? You & I are both of the same opinion on the
Justin/Deadmau5 article.This sorry lookin dude will never be even close to Justin's level of
popularity .Putting that aside he
not only is a bully but his comments about Justin's young
female fans show exactly what a
Dirtbag he truly is.To use that
specific C word to describe the enthusiasm of young girls shows
a lack of respect for all women.
Deadmau5, you are a creepy little
pervert & a bona fide mysoginist
who deserves none of this attention.
lola -sp? MisoGYNist
Deadmau5 is 32 years old!!..Damn he is old..i mean like i prefer Hardwell any day and he is 21 years old and he is way polite and nice and i am a Belieber..
Trust me deadMAu
the only reason Justin (Beaver) is famous is because of Usher because,Scooter Braun, a hip-hop manager introduced Justin to Usher shortly after finding him, and they signed a three-way publishing venture at Raymond Braun Media Group and a recording contract with Island Records.
I really dont get what do people have to do with Justin,not like he is using ur money nor is he related to you..Why don't all of you all just shut the fuck up and continue living ur life which must be pretty miserable cos if you hate justin so much why take the time to read a post on him and also waste time commenting....
That's what they call
'Being Discovered.'
P.S- Justin's last name is
Bieber NOT Beaver
Using parenthesis is correct grammar wise. It means the item can be dropped from the reading of the existing text. In other words Tatum is mocking this performer. Do get it straight.
You have no idea if he is mocking
Justin or not so Take Off,Bobbi.
Tupac, Kool Moe Dee, N.W.A., Justin Beiber, Grandmaster Flash, Run Dmc......hey wait, something aint right there.....hmmmmm???
Justin is just a little punk that thinks his shit doesn't stink...well guess what...it DOES!!!
Well guess what,Denise, you are
just an ignoramus who feels
like a bigger Girl for insulting
Justin & all the Harmful,Sinful
Acts that he maybe did.When
was the last time you donated
any time or money to aid poor
families or sat with a dying child
in a hospital? Funny how these
gossip sites forget to mention
all the generous acts that Justin
does on his own time.This Deadmau5 fool with his Stupid
name, his less than average looks
& his extremely uncreative Muzak
is not jealous of Justin? What a
creep.All of you little Shits stink.
Guess what??.. Justins not poopin in ur toilet so just shut the fuck up...
yapi did not make this comment
I had my suspicions then.
I know who wrote this now.
You Freak.
Haha, when was the last time you did anything good for anyone, like maybe give a poor man a hot meal when no one is looking to praise you for it? Talking for him makes you look like one of the little teenies filled with that prepubescent cunt rage Deadau5 is talking about. Your insults towards Deadmau5 also make you look like an uncreative pretentious bitch that spits on anyone who doesn't have "belieber" tattooed on their freaking forehead. If we little shits stink, you're revolting.
Oh, sorry P. I just read my comments & they were alot more animated than I thought.I've had the same experience as Justin with a couple D.Jays who only want to play what they like & I also had words with them.They
are supposed to keep the customers happy.I still think that
you and Deadmau5 are evil.
Your comments were very predictable & immature,exactly
what I would expect from a Bieber
basher.Your vulgar language is also telling of your lack of class.
You Epitomize the immaturity & the insecurity of these bullies by
your delusions of grandeur, your amazing psychic abilities that allow you to visualize another person's thoughts,personality & lifestyle.
Really,dude? You didn't even come close in this analysis of me.It is a very disturbed mind that equates my defense of a young star by listing his positive behaviours with my being 'pretentious' or an ''outraged' teeny bopper.I am simply weary
of You & your know-it -all little
friends lashing out at Justin with the same repetitious taunts that
belie your insecurities.
So you need to practise some
self-introspection to find out why
a comment which simply addressed the mature & generous
nature of Justin Bieber ,would so infuriate you.
Justin Justin Bieberis nothing more then A little spoiled creep what people to protect him I'm getting his ass kicked a regular basis can't wait tell that little fart down the tubes I also believe he's gay
Agree COMPLETELY!!!!!! Bieber is a wanna be Punk who is NOT succeeding. He is Pathetic and DOES need to Grow The F*** up!!!
ahahaha lol Not succeeding, he has five platinum albums and like a billion fans, none of these articles talk about everything that he does in his own time, for example, he goes to childrens hospitals and donates money to families starving in other countries, I'm not gonna start slagging off Deadmau5 for what he has said cos thats his opinion but still you should think before you start making up bullshit.
So well said,my friend.The problem is that these poor souls seem to have a problem with that whole 'thinking' process.
Not succeeding? Really?

Okay, this post is for those of you who are not participating in KRLD Restaurant Week. This post is for people who went out to eat and have something to say about Dallas Normal Dining Week.
13 comments on "Food Feedback Friday"
Lockhart Smokehouse burnt ends and hatch chile pizza followed by hatch chile gelato at Cane Rosso! Yummy.
Seared tuna salad at Saint Anne's on Wednesday, love the decor and drinks. Tei An for RW Thursday night, great service and loved the Wagyu short green soba noodles and white seaweed salad.
My niece's 16th birthday party at 560 by Wolfgang Puck. Service and food were great, especially for a party of 24 during restaurant week. Kudos to the staff!
Nova: best BLT I have ever had (Sunday brunch menu)
Hook Line & Sinker (Lemmon): Awesome cold, boiled shrimp. With cold beer. Perfect on a hot day.
Second Floor: Mediocre pea soup and soggy "wilted" spinach salad with no taste.
Cane Rosso (yes, again). Had the Zoli with the hot soppressata. Outstanding!
Dough. Had the small Margherita lunch special. Good but, I prefer Cane Rosso's crust and flavor. I guess I need to try their "Pork Love" for a more definitive review.
First Chinese BBQ. Shrimp won-ton soup with Chinese vegetables, orange beef, shrimp Hong Kong style, Cheese shrimp, orange beef. All, sensational!
S&D Oyster last weekend. Just as good as I remembered. A bit pricy for the amount of food you get, though.
Oh! And we stopped by Wild Salsa for some appetizers and happy hour. $4 house margaritas until 9:00 on Friday. We tried the barbacoa taquitos and ceviche guacamole. Delicious! The cucumber cocktail I had was great, too.
Rex's Seafood for dinner. Service and food were both superb. The ceviche, in particular, was delicious. Rex's is on the pricey side, though, for what is basically a bunch of tables in a fish market. Smallest portion of calamari I've ever seen for $10.
Lee Harvey's for lunch today. Dark and cool inside. Bartender/waiter couldn't have been nicer. Blue cheese burger with onion rings, best in town in my opinion. As is the aioli.
Reference my above comment on FCBBQ. I mentioned orange beef twice. Sorry, we only had one. I meant to say BBQ roast pork lo mein.
First time visit to Cadot and how underwhelmed were we?
Have read here about how great it was and was very disappointed by a so-so meal in a strip shopping mall.
OK so the interior is pretty good at disguising it's rather pedestrian location. Attentive service when we arrived. However our very normal cocktails (Old Fashioned & Negroni) required some coaching vis a vis their name, content etc. Neither were up to snuff and served in tiny glasses.
I ordered the Syrah by the glass and bloody awful it was too. Reminded me of manky gym lockers. Awful. Sent it back and changed over to beer. The wife's Pinot Grigio was equally as rank but she's more forgiving than I.
Appetizer was Duck Confit wrap for me and water melon for the lovely one. Confit was a pleasant splat of canard melange rustled in a deep-fried egg-roll wrapper. Not bad. Not French but not bad. EG's water-melon salad was a bit of a let down. Playing card sized rectangle of water melon covered in I know not. Mine was a 5/10 – hers a 3/10.
By the way – it took almost an hour from sitting down to getting the appetizers.
For entree I had the hanger steak avec pomme frites. i.e. skirt steak or onglet as the Frogs like it. It was good. Small but good. Shoestring potatoes were good but were, I'm sure. frozen. EG's pasta with asparagus & truffle oil was good but much more like a carbonara. I could not taste a whiff of truffle oil and I am super sensitive to that pig fungus. Me I would give 6.5/10 EG 4/10
We shared a Grand Marnier soufflé. I'm pretty sure the creamy syrup our waiter poured into the soufflé was sans the Grand Marnier. In fact the whole deal was pretty lite in the GM stakes. Basically it was just a very raw egg tasting fluffball with the slightest hint of a Gallic citrus. Very sad – Rise nº 1 is ten times better in the soufflé stakes.
So overall – would not waste my money again in that part of the world.
Nosh – Excellent goat cheese gnocchi. Service was aloof and even with three courses we were in and out in an hour. I would have liked to relax a bit more and even told the waitress so but she wanted that table to turn!
Gonzalez Restaurant on W. Jefferson in Oak Cliff for lunch today. Chili Relleno stuffed with cheese. And, guacamole with salsa fresca.

Best Uses
I bought these to hang from ceiling with paper lanterns. They are only printed on one side so the other side is blank. They are fine if you want to put on a wall but the holes for hanging are not necessary.
Best Uses
These were a great value but they were small and generic. They fit in to our Luau theme but nobody would have missed them if they weren't there. We decorated a 2 1/2 car garage. Maybe a smaller room they would have been more noticeable. Great weight and color quality.

Micron unveils high-endurance, data center SAS SSD
The P410m SAS SSD has a read performance of up to 410MB/s, Micron says
Computerworld - Micron Technology today announced its highest endurance Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) solid-state drive (SSD), the P410m, which it said can endure 10 drive fills per day for five years.
The unveiling of the new drive follows the release last month of Micron's highest endurance serial ATA (SATA) SSD, the P400m.
The P410m SSD is a 2.5-in. drive aimed at mission-critical tier 1 storage applications that require 24/7 data access, Micron said.
The SSD's 6Gbps SAS interface provides dual ports for failover capability.
The new SSD has sequential read/write speeds of 410 MB/s and 345 MB/s using 124KB block sizes, and the drive has a random read/write speed of 50,000 I/Os per second and 30,000 IOPS respectively using 4KB blocks.
As with the P400m, the new P410m comes with Micron's relatively new wear leveling and error correction code firmware that it calls XPERT (extended performance and enhanced reliability technology). As the name implies, XPERT is aimed at extending SSD longevity and enhancing data integrity, the company said.
The P410m comes in 100GB, 200GB, and 400GB capacities. Micron did not disclose pricing.
EMC also announced it is qualifying the P410m for future use in its storage array.

MONDAY, Dec. 24 (HealthDay News) -- For adults aged 51 to 80 years, the ability to sit and rise from the floor without support (hand/knee) is associated with improved survival, according to a study published online Dec. 13 in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology.
In an effort to examine the correlation between the ability to sit and rise from the floor without support and all-cause mortality, Leonardo Barbosa Barreto de Brito, from Gama Filho University in Rio de Janeiro, and colleagues conducted a retrospective cohort study involving 2,002 adults (51 to 80 years old; 68 percent men) who performed a sitting-rising test (SRT). The SRT was scored from 0 to 5, with one point subtracted for each support used (hand/knee). The final composite SRT score was stratified into four categories: 0 to 3; 3.5 to 5.5, 6 to 7.5, and 8 to 10.
During a median follow-up of 6.3 years, the researchers identified 159 deaths. There was a significant inverse association between SRT score and mortality. Using a SRT score of 8 to 10 as a reference, the investigators noted a trend for longer survival with increasing SRT scores, as reflected by multivariate-adjusted hazard ratios of 5.44 for a score of 0 to 3; 3.44 for 3.5 to 5.5; and 1.84 for 6 to 7.5. Survival improved 21 percent with each one-unit increase in SRT score.
"In conclusion, a low score on a simple functional assessment tool, the SRT, was associated with >6-fold higher all-cause mortality in men and women," the authors write. "The SRT therefore may be a useful tool for screening, functionally classifying, and risk stratifying large samples of subjects."

At Cool Beans Indoor Playground & Cafe, children frolic in a more than 6,000-square-foot indoor playground among attractions such as a dress-up area, inflatable slides, and an in-floor trampoline. Weekly development classes in arts or music also spur children's mental development. The play center also caters to adults: in a WiFi-connected cafe area, baristas pour coffee and lattes and serve up casual fare, such as fruit-and-chicken salads and Italian-style paninis.
The instructors at Fantasy Farms Equestrian Center help students become comfortable with horses both on and off the saddle. During private lessons, instructors focus purely on riding technique. And during more advanced horsemanship and riding sessions, the educators show serious riders how to tend to essential horse-maintenance duties, such as remembering to top off the tank with unleaded hay. The Fantasy Farms team also shares equine enthusiasm in the form of therapeutic riding sessions, which give children with autism and other cognitive disabilities the opportunity to pet and ride horses in a safe, controlled environment.
Drawing on 17 years of experience, North County Training Facility's seasoned horsewoman, Robin, oversees student-and-steed pairs as they prance beneath the shade of majestic oaks and pines on the 3-acre facility. The enthusiastic instructor concocts curricula to encourage responsibility in young riders while distracting them from less-gainful extracurricular activities, such as giving their guinea pigs mohawks. Lessons extend beyond riding instruction alone to include proper grooming, saddling, and bathing techniques. The school accommodates both recreational and competition-hungry riders as well as those preparing for careers as mounted insurance salesmen.
Beach Water Sports matches patrons up with watercraft ranging from paddleboards to powerboats, and encourages them to explore the surrounding azure waters. Seafarers can opt for a relaxing day on a pontoon, even sneaking in some sightseeing on an excursion to Peck Lake to drop in on its populations of manatees and sea turtles. Those eyeing a more-thrilling time on the water can take a rented jet ski buzzing through Hobe Sound and Jupiter or try to start an ocean whirlpool by only paddling on one side of the standup paddleboard.
Here at PM Stables you will find a quiet, relaxed atmosphere for children, teens and adults. We are a family friendly equestrian facility offering many services to satisfy your equine needs! Our trainers offer lesson plans for youth and adults of all ages, disciplines and levels of experience.
At Sunshine Riding Academy, what you see is not all you get. On top of the academy's 5 acres of private land—complete with two sand riding arenas—visitors make enjoyable use of the academy's proximity to Riverbend Park and its vast network of trails. Owner and trainer Jennifer Cole oversees all of the horseback comings and goings, conducting private and group lessons within the academy borders and guiding groups on trail-riding adventures. Her lessons focus on the disciplines of hunter/jumper and equitation, tailored to the student's age, ability, and goals for their time in the saddle.

Roosevelt uses the opportunity to pull Juice aside and press him for information on Frankie Diamonds. Juice correctly inquires, "Who do you think I am? I don't know shit, man." Roosevelt just pins the younger man with the bleak, pitiless stare of a man who's lost his world. Then he says casually, "You seem a little nervous. I bet you Clay's real curious about our private conversation. Our blood bond that we share." Juice's eyes grow so large, they're going to give that creature with the grapefruit-sized eyeballs a run for its ocular majesty. He says, "You're going to get me killed." "That concern left me when I watched my wife die," Roosevelt says. He walks off, leaving Juice feeling squeezed.
A busy train yard in "Oakland," where Damon Pope is patiently explaining for the umpteenth time that if he really wanted to kill Jax and friends, they'd be dead already. (Also, as someone who lives but an estuary away from the Oakland docks, it cracks me up whenever we get these establishing shots, because those hills in the background are Palos Verdes and the guys are so obviously at Long Beach.) Also, we can tell this show is clearly in the realm of the fictional because Pope is waxing rhapsodic on how he's going to develop his new parcel of waterfront property as affordable multi-family housing. Then he tells Jax to stop sending him hands. Jax defends his decision with the kind of rhetoric normally only found among callers-in to right wing radio, and Pope asks Jax to be smart: "Someone wants you dead and hired a black guy to do it. Unemployment's crushing the 'hood. Brothers need work." Then Pope moves the plot forward by having information on dead handless Charles' associates, one of whom is sure to be the second shooter and therefore a valuable source of information. Jax is listening (to his credit) and thinks aloud to Pope about how he's trying to eliminate all possible doubts before going after an inside guy. "Maybe I should get me one of those goon squads," he snots, and Pope smiles indulgently: "Stay close, Jax. You won't need one."
Back at the hospital, Chuckie is engaged in the gentle art of flower arrangement, and as a bonus, he gets to freak out Nero when Nero comes to visit. (Gemma fills in on how Chuckie lost his digits, and Nero just nods all, I would expect nothing less from the Chinese mob.) Anyway, he pets Gemma and she folds under the sympathy, admitting, "I was stoned driving those kids. I thought I'd be okay -- I drive high all the time. And I-I didn't want to miss my chance to be with them." Nero tells her it's okay, but Gemma says that no, it really isn't. Not because driving while impaired is a monstrously selfish thing to do, but because Clay lied for her, and if Jax and Tara find out, they'll never forgive her. Nero says, "That'll come back, Gemma. You know how that shit works -- you gotta get in front of it. You tell them the truth. You tell them the truth!" Naturally, before Gemma can consider this healthy, mature and well-adjusted advice, Clay returns.

Attorney 'shocked' by murder charge
Bouquets of flowers have been placed at the entrance to the abandoned City Concrete plant at 2 Hampton Road in Exeter in memory of Amanda "Amy" Warf, whose body was found inside last week. (JASON SCHREIBER/Union Leader Correspondent)
He was even more surprised when he learned that Warf's ex-husband, Aaron Desjardins, was charged in her murder.
Coughlin, a Portsmouth lawyer, was representing Desjardins while he and Warf ironed out the details of a parenting plan for their 11-month-old son, William, in the Brentwood Family Court.
Coughlin was hired just after their divorce was final in February 2012 and says he never saw any serious problems between the two.
They may have disagreed at times like many divorced couples, but Coughlin said it was nothing unusual.
"I hear about these things happening, and sometimes when I'm involved in a particular case I wonder if something bad might happen because of the nature of my client or the nature of the opposing party," he said. "This case didn't have that. It's surprising that he might somehow be involved."
The last time Coughlin spoke with Desjardins was a few weeks before prosecutors say he killed Warf by slitting her throat.
The body of the 36-year-old mother who worked at Exeter Hospital was discovered on the second floor of the abandoned City Concrete factory on Hampton Road in Exeter on March 7. Firefighters found her body while responding to a fire that prosecutors say was intentionally set, though Desjardins hasn't been charged with arson.
Just a few days after telling reporters he had nothing to do with her murder and that someone else had done it, Desjardins, 36, was arrested at gunpoint near his Epping home Tuesday and charged with first-degree murder.
Coughlin said he believes Warf and Desjardins were still seeing a co-parent counselor at the time of the killing and had a hearing scheduled in May.
"They were working on the minutia, the logistics of the parenting time that they would spend with William, but they had pretty much equally divided it, and they were trying to figure out when transfers would occur and things like that," Coughlin said.
Before his arrest, Desjardins told the New Hampshire Union Leader that he and Warf had "come to full agreement" on custody of their son.
"We were just going to put the ink on the paper," he said at the time, suggesting that all was well between him and Warf.
Unlike some couples, Warf and Desjardins didn't seem to have a problem getting together to work out their issues.
"They could meet in the same room. There were no domestic violence aspects of the case. No restraining orders," Coughlin said. "If it turns out that he was aggressive toward her during this event I certainly never saw evidence of that when I observed them dealing with each other."
At times, even Desjardins' new wife, Sarah, would attend meetings with Coughlin when Warf was also present. Court documents hinted at some tension between the two women in the past, but Coughlin said Sarah was "very helpful with him in parenting William."
According to Senior Assistant Attorney General Susan Morrell, William is now being cared for by other family members while Desjardins remains held without bail at the Rockingham County jail. He is due back in court for a probable cause hearing on March 22 at the 10th Circuit Court in Brentwood.

Is Obama The Master?
Sherman Oaks, California
The internet rumblings about whether Barack Obama is a Manchurian candidate programmed in an Indonesian madrassa to usurp the U.S. government in the name of Islam are off the mark. The real question is whether Obama is The Master, the evil timelord from the BBC science fiction program Doctor Who.
In the series three episode "The Sound of Drums," medical student Martha Jones explains the appeal of newly installed British prime minister Harold Saxon (pictured) who is, spoiler alert, The Master in disguise.
The Doctor: The Master was always sort of hypnotic, but this is on a massive scale.
Martha Jones: I was going to vote for him.
The Doctor: Really.
Martha Jones: Well, it was before I even met you. And I liked him.
The Doctor: Why do you say that? What was his policy? What's he stand for?
Martha Jones: I don't know. He always sounded good, like you could trust him. Just nice. He spoke about -- I can't really remember, but it was good. Just the sound of his voice.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Northern Ontario hot
Brier winners much too much for Manitobans
EDMONTON -- The way Brad Jacobs and his Northern Ontario team were playing here the last few days, Jeff Stoughton probably wasn't going to beat him in the Brier final anyway.
But then the game started and Stoughton promptly -- and personally -- removed all doubt.
In a world of uncertainty where death, taxes and Joe Mack's refusal to sign free agents are the only constants, one of the few other things we've always been able to count on as Winnipeggers is that our man Stoughton would always rise to the biggest moments of his sport.
In 15 Canadian and Manitoba men's curling finals heading into last night, Stoughton had been beaten just twice -- once in 2009 at the Brier when an unbeaten Kevin Martin team simply steamrolled him, and then another time in the Manitoba final in 2004 when Brent Scales won on a fluke.
Aside from that -- money.
Until last night. If you're interested, you probably already watched on TV last night, so there's no need to belabour the ugly details behind Northern Ontario's historic 11-4 victory over Stoughton, other than to point out he missed his first four shots -- two in the first end and two in the second end -- to gift the best-hitting team in Canada a 3-0 lead on steals and a stranglehold on the game.
Manitoba briefly showed signs of life with a deuce in the third end, but Jacobs pulled the plug on the patient for good in the fourth end. After Stoughton sailed a draw attempt through the house on his first rock, then came up a little heavy on a freeze attempt with his second, Jacobs seized the opportunity to win the Brier immediately and played a difficult pick of a lone Manitoba stone in the house to put a 3 and a 6-2 lead up on the board.
Lights out.
"When you get a little behind and you have to make some really good shots and it just doesn't happen, it's disappointing," said Stoughton, who shot just 63 per cent through the critical first four ends. "I'm disappointed just because the crowd came here to see a great game and we certainly didn't give them a great game."
Unless, of course, you were a fan of Northern Ontario.
How unlikely was Northern Ontario's win here last night? Consider:
-- Last night's Canadian men's curling title was the first for Northern Ontario since 1985.
-- Northern Ontario became just the second team ever to win a Brier championship after qualifying through the 3 vs 4 game, winning their last six games in a row to do it -- including over the defending world champions from Ontario in the semifinal earlier Sunday.
-- At age 27, Sault Ste. Marie's Jacobs became the youngest skip to win the Brier since Martin won his first Brier in 1991 at age 24. Jacobs wasn't even born the last time Northern Ontario won.
"We played amazing through these whole playoffs. We were the underdogs the whole way, we never had hammer and to come out and do what we did is just phenomenal," said Jacobs, who was supported by third Ryan Fry, second E.J. Harnden and lead Ryan Harnden.
So what's the bright side in all this for Manitoba curling fans? Well, for starters, Manitoba wasn't entirely shut out last night -- Fry is a Winnipeg native with the tuckiest of all Manitoba tuck deliveries, and last night's win adds a Brier Tankard to the family mantel to go with the one his old man, Barry, won for Manitoba back in 1979.
"It's a dream come true," said Fry, who jumped into the stands after the game to hug his parents. "It's been my dream since I was a little kid, watching him, and to actually fulfil it now is unreal."
There's also some solace to be drawn from the fact that Manitoba teams competed in all four major Canadian curling finals this year -- junior men's and men's, junior women's and women's -- although there's also no escaping the fact only Matt Dunstone, who picked up bronze over the weekend at the world juniors, actually hoisted a Canadian trophy in triumph.
Aside from that? Well, it's really more Eastern Manitoba than Northern Ontario anyway, right
And that's the thing about the Brier, isn't it -- there really is no second place. There's a little cash for making the final -- both teams get $40,000 -- but that's nothing compared to the $144,000 in tax-free Sport Canada funding over the next two years, another $40,000 for training and competition expenses and a $10,000 cresting fee the Jacobs team now picks up.
In the end, Stoughton and company -- third Jon Mead, second Reid Carruthers and lead Mark Nichols -- probably got what they earned last night.
They were good over the past week, but never great. They lost two of their last three round-robin games and almost lost a huge game Friday night to a B.C. team that had only one win all week. And they also got lucky in the 1 vs 2 game on Saturday when Ontario's Glenn Howard decided in the 10th end he absolutely, positively couldn't live another moment without playing the only shot that could beat himself.
Good? Sure, Stoughton teams are always good. But great? Not this year -- and especially not last night.

Sinornithosaurus (Greek for "Chinese bird-lizard"); pronounced sine-OR-nith-oh-SORE-us
Woodlands of Asia
Historical Period:
Early Cretaceous (130-125 million years ago)
Size and Weight:
About three feet long and 5-10 pounds
Probably omnivorous
Distinguishing Characteristics:
Small size; long tail; feathers
About Sinornithosaurus:
Of all the dino-bird fossils discovered in the Liaoning Quarry in China, Sinornithosaurus may be the most famous, because it's the most complete: its perfectly preserved skeleton shows evidence not only of feathers, but of different kinds of feathers on different parts of its body. The feathers on this small theropod's head were short and hairlike, but the ones on its arms and tail were long and distinctively birdlike, with feathers of intermediate length along its back.
Technically, Sinornithosaurus is classified as a dromaeosaur (raptor to you and me), based on the oversized, sickle-shaped single claws on each of its hind feet. However, it bears a greater resemblance to other dino-birds (like Archaeopteryx and Incisivosaurus) than to famous raptors like Deinonychus or Velociraptor.
The latest news about Sinornithosaurus (as of December 2009) is that it may well have been a venomous dinosaur, as evidenced by fossilized pouches found connected by ducts to its snake-like fangs. Judging by the anatomy of modern animals, it would be surprising if these sacs weren't exactly what they appear to be--repositories of venom that this feathered dinosaur used to immobilize (or kill) its prey. (But hold the presses: a more recent study concludes that the "pouches" of Sinornithosaurus were created when this individual's incisors loosened from their sockets, and aren't evidence of a venomous lifestyle after all.)
