A woman, who worked as a maid's assistant, faces a criminal charge for stealing jewelry from a Ladue home.
Kahlie Korte, 24, of Silex, was charged Friday in St. Charles County Circuit Court with felony stealing.
Ladue Police said a woman discovered jewelry missing April 5 from her home in the first block of Clermont Lane. The missing items were a set of diamond earrings and a gold and diamond bracelet valued collectively at $19,340. Earlier that day, her house was cleaned by a regular housekeeping service.
Korte on several occasions had worked as a maid's assistant with a regular housekeeper, police said.
A Ladue Police said Korte had pawned several pieces of stolen jewelry on the same day she cleaned victims' houses, according to court documents. The thefts were reported to take place between March 22 and April 5.
Bail was set at $20,000.

Curious what happened with the Gigapan 'Competitions' that entry ended on Feb 28th (such as 'most explorable', 'action shot', 'duplicity', 'crowd'). There were only a few entries, yes, but most had more than one. It will not be a fun website addition if nobody enters and nobody votes, but Gigapan, it will be even less fun if the competitions just 'disappeear', so what is the scoop?

I entered a GigaPan in one of these competitions, too. I don't think we'll ever hear about those competitions again.
I had renewed optimism for GigaPan Systems when they finally rolled out the new version of this website, but it's slowly but surely turning into cynicism again.
[Update 4/10/12: Much less cynical now. Progress appears to be slow but steady.]

Well, I'd edit out that cynicism remark if I could, but for now I can't.
I will say it's really nice to see you posting frequently to this area of the Forum, Angelko. It's really refreshing to see that at least one member of the GigaPan Systems team is responding to users concerns on a regular basis.
It would be even nicer if the team's regular interactions were not limited to a single member and this single topic area. It's been a month(!) since Customer Service has made a post to the forum – it's not like there aren't any other threads in need of answers.

Found December 28, 2012 on 60 Max Power O:
TEAMS: San Francisco 49ers
The San Francisco 49ers have been gashed for big yardage after DT Justin Smith was injured on Dec. 16th against the New England Patriots, and he is unlikely to play in the season finale against the Arizona Cardinals due to his partially torn left triceps. Moving forward after the finale, his status for the playoffs is uncertain as well. He could either miss some or all of the post-season. Not good either way. Despite the glaring loss on defense, Patrick Willis thinks the 49ers can still be a great defense without their All-Pro tackle. "You can't really put into words what he means to this defense," Willis said, via the Associated Press. "We most certainly miss him, and hopefully we'll get him back for the playoffs." "But we have a great defense, and I truly believe that. When you have what we have on our defense, we should be able to go out there and display that each time. Starting from this Sunday, we have to make sure we go out and do that on a consistent basis and play like the defense we know we're capable of playing like." It'll be a wait and see approach on Smith, but if the past two weeks have been any indication, San Francisco may not get too far in the post-season. When Smith went out early in the 3rd quarter, the Patriots proceeded to pick apart the 49ers defense for four straight touchdowns to make a game out of a first half blowout. Last week in Seattle is an even better gauge at just how this defense looks without Smith. Their 42-13 blowout loss to Seattle was the worst beating head coach Jim Harbaugh took in his two seasons with the team. Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio doesn't see the absence of Smith as the reason why the defense looked so bad. "He's a great player, one of the best defensive players in the NFL, and anytime you lose one of those guys it does have an adverse effect on you," Fangio said. "But I didn't think the problems we've had, the last game in particular, were because of Justin not being there. We could have had five Justin Smiths. That wasn't the issue. We didn't play good, didn't coach good, and those guys just whipped us." var switchTo5x=true; stLight.options({publisher:''});

Gay Scene
The Gay Scene can be found around the Royal Paradise hotel in Patong and takes place at a small side road of the famous Rat-U-Thit Road. From Soi Bangla it is only about 300 meters walk. Should you consider staying overnight at a gay hotel, this is the place to be. There are not only Gay Hotels in this area, but also Gay Bars, clubs and a discotheque with two shows per evening. The gay community is very strong around the paradise complex and is becoming an upward trend.
Simon Cabaret
One of the highlights while coming to Patong and a must see is of course the Simon Cabaret show, which is probably the biggest and most famous Transvestite-Show in Phuket. Here you can enjoy professional dancing, music and singing. The main attractions are the ladyboys, which the Simon Cabaret show is most famous for. Performing a glitzy, glamorous and highly professional show you won't be able to tell the difference between those beauties which are a lady or a man.
Phuket Fantasea
Another very entertaining possibility is the Phuket Fantasea, a show with a touch of Las Vegas. With acrobatics, spectacular fireworks, air ballet, special effects and disappearing elephants, the whole show is a mixture of visual effects and elements of Thai tradition. The fantasea show is located in kamala a 20 minutes ride from Patong. You can either purchase tickets only for the show or for both show and buffet. Phuket Fantasea is a suitable for the whole family.
Mini Golf
The Dino Park is located half way between Kata Beach and Karon Beach and it is a perfect experience for a family excursion. The dinosaurs appear very real and the fake volcano spits fire and smoke. Furthermore the dino park provides a bar and a restaurant where you will be served one of the best burgers in the area.

Push the gas pedal to the limit and enjoy the race track in Kathu, close to Patong.

COLLEGE PARK, Md.- The 10th-ranked Maryland women's basketball is set to battle No. 24 Miami Thursday at 7 p.m. at Comcast Center in the Terps' Fan Appreciation game. To thank fans for their support, the Terrapins will be selling tickets for $1 in advance and will be offering $1 concessions specials.
To purchase $1 tickets, log on to http://tinyurl.com/MDWBBdollar or call the Terrapin Ticket Office at 1-800-IM-A-TERP. The $1 tickets must be bought in advance.

The ACC's leading rebounder, Alyssa Thomas, led the way with 20 points, 15 rebounds, six assists and three steals and notched her seventh double-double in eight games.

SANFORD — The families of George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin reacted on Twitter after the former neighborhood watch volunteer was cleared of all charges in the fatal shooting of the unarmed Miami Gardens teen Saturday night.
Zimmerman's brother, Robert Zimmerman Jr., said his family is relieved that the jury found George Zimmerman not guilty of second-degree murder and manslaughter. He tweeted: "Today … I'm proud to be an American."
Martin's father, Tracy Martin, was reserved but expressed disappointment: "Even though I'm brokenhearted I will always love my baby Tray," he tweeted.
Trayvon's mother, Sybrina Fulton, tweeted: "Lord during my darkest hour I lean on you...Thank you all for your prayers. I will love you forever Trayvon!!!"
The teen's brother, Jahvaris Fulton, said simply: "Et tu America?" — a reference to the Latin phrase "Et tu, Brute?" known as an expression of betrayal.

|Josephine Newahun Foday and her grandmother
Komba Kpakiwa, 31, and Josephine Foday, 22, were found floating face down in the pool at the four-star Down Hall Country House Hotel in Hatfield Heath, Essex, on Saturday.
Mr Kpakiwa, who was married with two young children, had taken Miss Foday, a nursing student who was not his wife, away for a surprise weekend break to celebrate her birthday on Friday.
Josephine Newahun Foday, left, and Komba Kpakiwa, right, were found drowned at the Down Hall Country House Hotel in Hatfield, Essex
They had gone out for the day, before returning to the hotel room they were sharing and then going down to the pool, the inquest at Chelmsford Coroner's Court heard yesterday.
A hotel guest saw the pair floating in the ten-metre indoor pool but presumed they were playing a game and went into the sauna, it was claimed last night.
When the guest returned to the pool he saw they were face down in the water and dialled 999. The pair were pronounced dead at the scene.
Police are not treating the deaths as suspicious and preliminary post-mortem examinations found they had drowned.A picture posted on Twitter by a hotel guest showed the swimming pool area cordoned off by police
Mr Kpakiwa had been taking his girlfriend Josephine Foday on a surprise weekend away for her 22nd birthday
Last night, Miss Foday's grandmother, Theresa Farma, 61, said Mr Kpakiwa had surprised her granddaughter with the getaway to celebrate her birthday.
She said he had met her at the corner shop at the top of her road where he worked as a supervisor and they started seeing each other in February.
Theresa Farma who described her as a 'loving granddaughter'
Speaking from her home in Plumstead, south-east London, Mrs Farma said: 'She called me on Friday to say that she had arrived at the hotel. They were looking forward to spending time at the hotel.
'They were supposed to come back on Sunday but instead the police came. Everyone is upset, distraught. I can't believe she has gone.'
Miss Foday was a second year nursing student at Canterbury Christ Church University.
She fled to England with her grandmother from their native Sierra Leone in 2001 when both her parents disappeared in the country's civil war.
Mrs Farma said: 'We don't know where her parents are, we think they are dead. I grabbed the child and left.
'I am so sad, now my granddaughter has been taken away too.'
Abdul Conteh, a family friend, said a man saw the pair floating in the water, but thought they were just fooling around.
He said: 'According to an eyewitness, he saw the couple in the pool, he went to the sauna and eight minutes later he came out and saw Komba's face in the pool and Josephine was lying on his back.
'He thought they were mucking around, a couples thing, he didn't take any notice of them. But then he came back again and he saw the two of them going down and saw the man's face was underneath the water, so he raised the alarm.'
A policeman stands guard at the Down Hall Country House Hotel in Essex, where the couple were discovered dead in the swimming pool on Saturday night
Mr Kpakiwa, who was also from Sierra Leone, lived with his wife, Gurpreet, in Erith, Kent.
The couple, who had been married for four years had two children, a son, seven, and a daughter, six.
His cousin, Teresa Kpakiwa, 52, last night said she knew nothing of Miss Foday, adding: 'This is so awful, they've got young children.'
Miss Foday had been living with a 23-year-old man in Chatham, Kent. It is not known what their relationship was. It is thought Mr Kpakiwa was studying for a law degree alongside his work in the corner shop.
Miss Foday had posted cryptic messages on Twitter before her death, including: 'You have to accept not everyone is going to love you back, that's why it's most important to love yourself.' She also wrote: 'If you really knew me, you'd know that I will make myself miserable to make someone else happy.'
Debra Teasdale of Christ Church University said: 'We were very saddened to hear about Josephine's tragic death at the weekend and our thoughts and sympathies are with her family and friends.'

Department Faculty School Psychology Assistant Professor
Dr. Eleazar Cruz Eusebio joined The Chicago School in 2010 as an assistant professor in the department of school psychology. He completed a nationally accredited internship in clinical psychology through the Accreditation of Psychology Postdoctoral and Internship Centers at a child and adolescent mental health institution and alternative school in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
He started his career in education 15 years ago as a teacher and behavior interventionist for adjudicated children and adolescents. He has since worked as an applied behavior analysis therapist, autism interventionist, reading and writing instructor, psychotherapist, school psychologist, and advocate for emotionally disabled youth across the continental United States. Dr. Eusebio served as founder and director of the former Enrichment Initiative at Garfield Park Preparatory Academy and is the director of the Center for Optimal Performance in Education (COPE) in Chicago, Illinois.
Dr. Eusebio has been exploring the dynamics and modalities of optimal learning and experience in children and adolescents. His current research and pedagogical interests are in the areas of self-awareness, executive function, emotional disorders, optimal learning, and media psychology.
Q: Please describe your teaching philosophy
A: I teach from an orientation based on Socratic dialogue within a structured and analytical basis involving multiple learning modalities. I expect my students to come to the table with curiosity, academic integrity, and a strong desire to learn and investigate their interests and abilities. In exchange, it is my job to facilitate learning objectives by providing the student with the challenge to apply their knowledge in clinical and academic settings.
Q: Please describe your philosophy regarding the practice of psychology.
A: Psychology is a science rooted in philosophy and practice. Since ancient times, humans have attempted to understand behavior, learning, and the methods needed to improve themselves and their surroundings. My philosophy begins within the theoretical orientation of behavioral manifestation and has since developed to the practice of modern day neuropsychology and physiological psychology. I believe that the practice of psychology can only have positive results when it is practiced from a compassionate, meaningful, and authentic place.
Q: Why did you choose to enter the field of psychology?
A: As a child and the youngest of five, I often observed my family's behaviors to understand my place in the world and, quite possibly in lieu of being heard. As an undergraduate, I continued to discover the powerful effects of the mind and brain. I began to explore the connections between one's nature within society's perceived expectations and the dynamics of one's personal goals. As a teacher, I wanted to make more sense of human behavior in the context of learning and creating and, subsequently, discovered a natural fit as an educator and school psychologist.
Q: What advice would you give a student entering The Chicago School?
A: Approach your setbacks as opportunities and take feedback as constructive guidance so that you remain focused and truly in the moment. Graduate school is not for everyone, but you chose to come to The Chicago School to gain the knowledge,skills, and discipline it takes to become a professional practitioner. So, get involved as a professional, have respect for yourself and others, and enjoy the process of critical thought and academic exploration.

Although transcriptionists might feel like they're looking at a foreign language sometimes with all the medical terminology, translators actually do deal in different languages.
Translators must correctly interpret speech or text from one lanuage to another, while maintaining its accuracy and original meaning. Although some interpreters may get called in to court to translate for a witness or defendant who speaks another language, much of the work can often be done at home as many translators are self-employed.

An 83-year-old man is dead after attempting to fight a fire.
On Saturday morning just after 5 a.m. Anderson Firefighters responded to Cartee Road for a structure fire.
Billy Cheek and his wife were inside their home when the fire alarm went off. Mr. Cheek had walked outside and Mrs. Cheek flagged down a car that was passing by.
Chief Billy Gibson with The Anderson County Fire Department says Mr. Cheek exited his home and attempted to fight the fire using a water hose.
He was taken to AnMed where he died. The Anderson County Coroner's Office says it appears Cheek died of a heart attack.
His wife was also taken to the hospital, she is expected to be ok.

Not Your Average Intern: Rajon Rondo Interns At GQ Magazine
It's not often that an NBA Champion Point Guard, 3x NBA All-Star and 2x NBA All-Defensive Team basketball player interns at your office. But during this summer's off season, the Boston Celtics star Rajon Rondo took his working hours to a new office – the GQ Magazine office.
Video: Rajon Rondo Displays His Tip-Off Showmanship
Serious question: How many of you actually pay attention to what a point guard does once his team wins the opening tip-off battle? Probably none. Lucky for us, – thanks to Deadspin for finding this – there's a die hard Celtics fan out there who put together a 4-minute video of Rajon Rondo's tip-off antics. The crazy thing is, he never does the same thing twice. Either I'm bored, or this is just a remarkable find. Enjoy!
Duke's Austin Rivers To Enter 2012 NBA Draft
March 23, 2012 by AndyMac
Filed under NCAA Basketball, Sports
Comments Off
Yes, maybe I am still a little bitter after Florida's own Austin Rivers — the son of Boston Celtics head coach, Doc Rivers — chose to surpass on being a Gator to become a Dookie. Can't say I blame him, maybe the kid wanted a change of scenery for once in his life. But the more Bradley Beal plays the way he does, the easier it becomes to move on.
Like Beal, Rivers is more than likely a one-and-done player once his freshman season came to an end. And thanks to Jeff Goodman of CBSSports.com, multiple sources have stated that is exactly what's going to happen. Despite being upset in the first round of the NCAA tournament to Lehigh after a 19-point effort from the kid nicknamed "Sub-Zero," Rivers still managed to average 15.5 points and 2.1 assists this season under Coach K.
Money really isn't the issue for Austin so he could stay another year if he wanted to improve on his consistency, but most mock drafts have him going to Portland with the 11th pick. (At least the ones I saw) Still, nothing is set in stone until the words come from Austin's mouth himself so in the meantime, Duke fans, enjoy Rivers while you have him because he could be gone quicker than he entered.
Ray Allen Says New Shoe Size Brought Him More Success
I'm going to be honest: Entering this season and given his age (36), I was not expecting Ray Allen to put up the numbers he has thus far in 2012. Why I didn't believe he would? I don't know. It was stupid of me because Ray-Ray is one of the most gifted players ever and even at the age he is now, he still runs circles around the young fellas.
Although his scoring is down from the 16+ he averaged the last two seasons — he's also taking less shots — but Allen is still averaging 14.8 points per game while shooting 46.9 percent from the floor and an astounding 46.5 percent from 3s. (Which is 3rd in the league)
You have to wonder exactly how Allen still does the things that he does so well consistently because, and I'll say it again, the man is 36 years old. At this point in his career, the success he's having this season has nothing to do with whether or not he's putting up more shots in practice. He's done all that. (He's still at the gym 4 hours before anyone else arrives)
So what could it be? Well, how about his sneaker size?
"My feet were always hurting," he told Jessica Camerato of CSNNE.com. "I was at shootaround in Detroit two years ago, I was running through it, and when I got back to the bus, it was just like the shoes, my orthotics — I called over to Nike and said, 'The next shoe allotment, send it to me in 15s.' I've been a 15 ever since."
Going from a size 13 to a 15 is a huge difference when it comes to shoes. I remember for the longest time when I was younger I believed I was a 10 1/2 but in reality, I'm only an 8. Sometimes the craziest sounding things make the most sense. And this I believe because two years ago Ray was shooting 36.3 percent from 3s, now he hasn't hit below 40 ever since.
He's the career-leader in three pointers made and the best shooter in NBA history. I expect Allen to keep doing this until he's at least 40, depending on if his shoe sizes keep going up.
Video: Rajon Rondo With The Pass Of The Year
Rondo continues to show why he's the best passer in the league. Wow ..
Video: Rondo Misses The Easiest Shot Of His Career
March 7, 2012 by AndyMac
Filed under NBA, Performances, Technology
I've defended Rondo constantly, but there's nothing for me to argue about this one. Up by 2 with 14 seconds left, the Celtics come up with a steal and pass to Rondo, who is passed half-court, who ends up horribly missing a wide-open layup that would put Boston up by four and never have to go into OT with Houston. I don't know if he thought his shot was going to get blocked or what but you can tell that he played it way too fast. It wasn't even a lay-up, it looked like he just tossed it up there in a hurry. Those are the kind of blunders that make us forget about his 18, 17 and 20 performance against New York just 4 days ago.
The More Rajon Rondo Is Doubted, The Better He Is
It might look like it is, but it's certainly not easy being a point guard for three future Hall of Fame players. Ask Rajon Rondo. The 26-year-old had the game of his life on Sunday against the Knicks in Boston. With a 115-111 OT win behind an historical performance, Rondo's ending stat line looked like this: 18 points, 20 assists and 17 rebounds.
Think about that – That's your point guard putting up Oscar Robertson-like numbers, despite being the headline of most trade rumors for much of the season and dealing with nagging ticky-tack injuries. Double-R's been in the league 6 years now and has a handful of accolades in his young career (NBA champion, 3x NBA All-Star, 2x All-Defensive First Team and All-Defensive Second Team); yet, Rondo remains of the most head scratching figures in the league, along with one of the most overrated according to fans and a handful of media personnel.
How can a kid who's a walking triple-double and a Top 5 point guard in the league be overrated? Well, despite his averaging of 14.9 points (47 percent from the floor) and 10.5 assists per game this year, Rondo's moodiness is what hurts him and keeps him out of most "The best point guard in the league" conversations. His Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde personality even has Celtics management wondering if this is the guy they can build their future around once Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett — and possibly head coach Doc Rivers — are gone.
Could he put up those kind of numbers if he was on a team like, let's say, Charlotte?
If you asked me that question two years ago, I'd probably say no. But now? Absolutely. There's no doubt in my mind. He's just that good. He understands the game and the way it's played and doesn't rush. He'll wait for his guys to get where they need to be on the court before he makes any kind of decision. He makes sure that his teammates have the best possible shot at producing on the court. If anything, at this point in his career, his game is being slowed down by the aging Big 3.
There's no question he has the ability to be the guy that runs around the court trying to setup teammates (i.e. Steve Nash), but with his speed and vision, he'd certainly thrive in an up-tempo offense (Imagine if he was dealt to Oklahoma City in exchange for Russell Westbrook).
Rondo brings a rare, unique skill set to the table and does things other players can only dream of. He's in a class of his own when it comes to the way he stretches his body and bends around opposing players while in mid-air (Some believe he's from Moron Mountain). His speed with the ball and ability to stop on a dime are qualities that aren't taught in the gym. That's God-given. His court vision and knowing where his teammate will be before he gets there is the best in the league. Hands down. No one, not even Deron Williams or Chris Paul, is a better passer than Rondo. And just to pad the stats a little bit more, his basketball IQ is through the roof.
Someone with those kinds of abilities should be far, far away from overrated conversations, and should not be questioned on whether or not he's a player you can build around. Right now, Rondo's only competition is himself. There's no reason he should think he knows more than his coach — who was a former point guard in the NBA — and players who have nearly a decade of experience over him. Those are the kind of people most players would be dying to get advice from or be taken under their wing. Rajon needs to look in the mirror and realize what he has around him because they're only people who want him to succeed, who want him to become the best he possibly can be.
When Garnett first came to Boston, the Big 3, along with Doc Rivers, doubted Rondo's ability on whether he could lead this team to an NBA championship. He was the right phone call away from being dealt but he showed that he was more than capable to lead an NBA offense to the Promise Land. It's like KG said: "He's a "I'll show you" type of player." Which means it's almost as if Rondo needs to hear something negative about him in order for him to go out and perform as if he were an untouchable player. And because of that, he'll forever have the wonders and doubts of others floating over his head until he learns how to perform like that on a nightly basis.
In his defense, he's only 26. Practically a kid in the game that's still learning to color inside the lines. Consistency is the most important word in basketball. And if Rondo wants to retire in Boston and lead another young Celtics team to a title somewhere in the future, he'll need to throw ego and all aside in order to understand that whatever team he's on needs him at his best. Always.
Nothing is given in this world, only taken.
And for Rondo's sake, I hope he fights hard as hell to keep what's his: The keys to run Boston.

Could Russell Westbrook End Up In Golden State?
Not all good things stay together, or great for that matter. Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls won 6 NBA championships during their partnership (could have been 8 had he not retired twice and left basketball for a mind-boggling baseball decision), as well as Kobe and Shaq winning 3 rings together as a duo in Los Angeles. And now, sadly, those kind of conversations are now starting to include arguably the best, and youngest duo in the league: Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook.
They've been best friends since the beginning, they've been All-Stars together and they're both the go-to guys on the Oklahoma City Thunder (although the word "go-to" should only describe Durant in crunch-time, not Westbrook. He's a point-guard.), but there's something in the middle. Something that just isn't quite right, and that's Westbrook.
I'm not saying that Russ was a bad fit from the start, I'm saying that he's slowly grown into that category the last two seasons. He's never been a great shooter, 3-point shooter and ball handler for that matter, and that's coming back to his UCLA days. He's a shooting-guard playing a point-guard role in OKC (which doesn't end well when you have a franchise player in Durant who averages nearly 30 points a night).
Remember a guy by the name of Allen Iverson? He's a Hall of Fame player and the best that ever played the game under 6-foot, but he was forced to play the point guard role throughout his career when he couldn't. He's naturally a shooter. That's why teams gave him a bad reputation that he's a ball-hog and won't help your team win a championship because he'll always need it in his hands. It's an addiction.
During the '08-09 season, Westbrook averaged 14 shots a night (41.8 percent) for 16 points, 8 assists and 3.3 turnovers. In 2010-11, he averaged 21.9 points (17 shots, 44 percent), 8 assists and 3.9 turnovers. This season? 15.3 points (17 shots, 31 percent), 6 assists and 6 turnovers.
For a point guard, that's not a good look.
As for shots, he should be somewhere between the 9 and 11 range while shooting in the high 40s from the field. Prior to this season, his 8 assists were excellent but they could a tad higher (10?), but his turnovers are atrocious. Westbrook has been so focused on scoring the basketball for so long in his life that for the most part, his decision making is where it should be. Where it needs to be is a whole 'nother story. He needs to slow the pace down and make smarter passes, take smarter shots, ect. if he plans on manning the ship for the Thunder.
They're built to play that way.
When trade rumors arose during the lockout that a possible trade between OKC and the Boston Celtics could take place — with Boston trading Rajon Rondo to Oklahoma City while the Celtics received Westbrook in return — most said it was crazy, but the truth is, having Rondo control the Thunder' offense would take them to a championship a lot quicker than it will with Westbrook.
When the "Argument Heard Around The World" went viral Wednesday night — detailed by The Oklahoman's Darnell Mayberry — where Westbrook was overheard yelling at Thabo Sefolosha for passing up an open shot and when Durant tried to calm him down, Westbrook snapped at Durant (Something to make a report about, and talk about it for 24 hours on ESPN? No, not at all. It happens, teammates argue all the time. Friends, family, whatever, arguments happen).
24 hours later, ESPN beat writer J.A. Adande wrote an interesting piece on why Westbrook won't work in OKC for not only the long-run, but financially as well:
The Rose Rule already bumped Durant's paycheck by an extra $2.5 million a year, and Westbrook could be living in that same $18 million-a-season neighborhood. Depending on what other moves the Thunder make, a huge boost to Westbrook's salary could put Oklahoma City in luxury tax territory next season and beyond. Starting in 2013-14 the tax will be progressively more punitive than the simple dollar-for-dollar surcharge in place now, and there are additional penalties for repeat tax "offenders." In addition tax teams have restrictions on their abilities to make trades and sign players to the full mid-level exception.
To sum it up, Adande is stating that by the Thunder locking up Westbrook to a huge deal will ultimately hurt them in the long run when it comes to re-signing other key attributes and going after other appealing talent in free agency. One thing, though, that was really brought to my attention (it's actually the reason why I'm writing this in the first place) is when J.A. threw out a trade idea that would send Westbrook to Golden State in exchange for Steph Curry (very interesting):
Curry is still on his rookie contract through 2012-13 (when he'll make $4 million) so he would almost guarantee the Thunder stay below the tax threshold for another year, and he probably won't be eligible for the Rose Rule pay boost, which would keep his maximum salary 5 percent lower than what Westbrook's might be when it's time to re-sign him.
Curry would also give the Thunder more scoring punch from the starting 2-guard spot than they currently have from Sefolosha. From Golden State's perspective, Westbrook is a better defender than Curry, and that should count a lot for the new-look Warriors. (Believe it or not, Mark Jackson's squad is among the top 10 defenses for fewest opponent points allowed so far.) And Westbrook is more likely to cause sprained ankles than suffer as many as Curry has.
Interesting enough, Curry was a fan favorite in OKC during the '09 NBA Draft when the volume shooter was coming out of Davidson (many wanted him over James Harden). Although it's an intriguing idea, Adande failed to mention one thing: Monta Ellis.
Trading Ellis for Westbrook makes a lot more sense for Golden State than it does by shipping Curry out the door, but it's almost an identical swap. On paper it seems that Westbrook would help the Warriors out more than Ellis already does, but it's somewhat misleading.
Golden State would still have the same problems defensively that they do now, and they'd still have the same turnover issues that Ellis provides and the out-of-control shooting outbursts throughout the night.
This what happens when you put a shooter at a facilitators position.
Lets say for a minute that Westbrook does end up in Golden State at some point between this season and the next (this isn't a rumor, this is just a discussion), what's the guarantee that he would automatically turn into a facilitator on a team built for running? As for Curry, yes, he's had issues with his ankle, but at the end of the day he has the higher basketball IQ, and that includes his shooting, passing skills, and the ability to spread the floor substantially better than Russ.
If the Warriors are in a "win now" situation — which I don't believe they are since they just hired a brand new coach in Mark Jackson — and if the front office believes Curry is going to be an injury-prone player from here on out, I could see them offering this kind of trade. Other than that, no. It doesn't make enough sense because at this point I'd rather pay Curry $3 million less to run my offense like a point guard should, than pay Westbrook $3 million more to run it like a shooter.

The People's Champion is the biggest superstar to ever come out of the WWE — career wise. His charisma is off the charts, making his promos some of the most memorable of all time.
This video is processing – it'll appear automatically when it's done.
It's an extra flashy DDT. And who better than to provide a little flash into their move set than The Rock? There are a handful of DDT variations out there, but this one is definitely the schnazziest. It's typically performed as a counter-counter move, say Rock whifs a clothesline and his opponent ducked, Rock would turn around and whip this sucker on him.
Yes, it is a bad gif. Still the best option though.
This video is processing – it'll appear automatically when it's done.
The Rock adopted this move from Bret "The Hitman" Hart. The move has a few different names, be it the Scorpion, the Scorpion Deathlock, Sasori-gatame or what have you; it still hurts. Don't have a friend put it on you, unless you want to get stretched. Both Bret Hart and Sting (performed it first in North America) used it as their finisher.
This video is processing – it'll appear automatically when it's done.
If you want to get technical, the move is a "Fall forward lifting side slam". Basically, your arm gets thrown over Rock's shoulder, he crosses his arm across your neck/chest area, lifts you up and slams you back down. It doesn't look pleasant, but it has offered some of the greatest bumps in wrestling history.
This video is processing – it'll appear automatically when it's done.
Self dubbed as "the most electrifying move in sports entertainment", essentially isn't much more than an elbow drop to a downed opponent. The move is typically the follow up to his "setup move" the spinebuster which leaves his opponent down, often in the middle of the ring. The Rock then, very dramatically, takes off his elbow pad and throws it into the crowd, then bounces off each rope, does a little dance and then slams the elbow down.
This video is processing – it'll appear automatically when it's done.
Throughout 1998, The Rock's star was rising, and fast. He dubbed himself "the People's Champion." Vince McMahon, notoriously feuding with Stone Cold Steve Austin decided to set targets at The Rock as well, since he was a man of the people, and the people are what Vince was angry with. It went on for a bit, but then at Survivor Series, November 15th, 1998 Vince had opened a tournament titled "Deadly Games" to crown the vacated WWE Championship. On one side of the brackets was Stone Cold (heavy crowd favorite) and on the other was The Rock. In the opening round The Rock took on Vince's "personal enforcer" Big Boss Man. Vince's son Shane McMahon interfered with the match and attempted to throw Boss Man a nightstick while distracting the referee. Rock intercepted the nightstick and stuck Boss Man with it to secure a win and foil Vince's plans to eradicate him from title contention.
Vince's "enforcer" was now gone, but his other ally, Mankind, was still in it. Mankind would go on to defeat Stone Cold in the semi finals after Shane and Vince interfered with the match. Now the only "issue" was The Rock. The final round pitted The Rock against Mankind to decide WWE Champion. The Rock goes on to put Mankind into the Sharpshooter and Vince orders the ref to ring the bell signifying Rock as winner, and champion. The entire scenario was mocking the "Montreal Screwjob" at the previous year's Survivor Series. Mankind was subsequently confused and "fired" from the Corporation, and Vince and Rock, the Crown Jewel, would go on to target Stone Cold and other wrestlers throughout the Attitude Era.
The full roster: Vince & Shane McMahon, Big Boss Man, Chyna, Triple H (converted), Pete Gas, Sgt. Slaughter, Pat Patterson & Gerald Brisco, Shawn Michaels (quickly left), Kane (was really only here so Vince wouldn't send him back to the insane asylum), Test, Big Show, Pete Gas, Rodney, Ken Shamrock (he liked to yell) and of course, The Rock.
The stable would eventually disband over time and Shane would usurp papa McMahon and he'd combine stables with Undertaker's Ministry to become the Corporate Ministry.
This video is processing – it'll appear automatically when it's done.
The most unlikely of duo's was formed on August 30th, 1999 on Raw. Throughout the Attitude Era, The Rock and Mankind had feuded heavily and beat the shit out of each other on numerous occasions. The Rock was attacked by the then tag champs Big Show and Undertaker (The Unholy Alliance). The Rock challenged the two mammoth's to a handicap match, which was intense stuff, given their size and power. Mankind asked Rock to team up, who hated the idea, knew it would be smart and accepted his rival's help. The two would go on to win the belts that night with a double People's Elbow on Big Show.
The pair would stick together for some comedic gold for awhile. Mankind getting on Rock's every nerve made for great promos and such. Their final title defense was against The Holly Cousins on SmackDown! Before the match, Mankind gave Rock an autographed copy of his biography Have a Nice Day! Mankind would later find the book in the trash, and in protest to Rock's ultra-asshole attitude, refused to participate in the tag match that evening. The Holly's beat the Rock for the titles, thus ending the "connection."
They'd later reunite at WrestleMania XX in a three-on-two handicap match against Randy Orton, Ric Flair and Batista. They lost. But it was still great fun, and the nostalgia was great.
This video is processing – it'll appear automatically when it's done.
So during that interesting time period after Vince McMahon purchased his rival WCW and the whole "Invasion" bit began, the WCW title was up for grabs in the WWE. The Rock defeated Booker T August 19th, 2001 at SummerSlam.
He'd eventually lose to Chris Jericho two months later at No Mercy. And then two weeks later on Raw, November 5th, 2001, The Rock would defeat Jericho for his second reign as WCW Champion. The next month at Vengeance, Jericho would beat Rock for the title once more before the belt was unified with the WWE Championship in a match between Stone Cold Steve Austin and Chris Jericho (Jericho won).
This video is processing – it'll appear automatically when it's done.
The Rock's first tag title run was with Mankind as his tag partner, the duo were dubbed the Rock'n'Sock Connection. They first defeated the Unholy Alliance (Big Show & Undertaker) August 30th, 1999 on Raw. They'd lose the belts in a rematch the following week on SmackDown! in a "buried alive" match.
They'd recapture the titles two weeks later on Raw, September 20th, 1999. The very next night on SmackDown! they'd lose to the New Age Outlaws, who they'd eventually rematch and win against on October 12th's SmackDown!, making Rock a three time tag champion within two months.
It wouldn't be until December 18th, 2000 with Undertaker that Rock would be a tag champion again. But per usual, it didn't last. The very next night on SmackDown! the duo would lose to Edge & Christian.
Rock would go on to win the titles once more (and final — as of now) with Chris Jericho on Raw, October 22nd, 2001. And would you guess that it only lasted a week before they'd lose to Booker T & Test on SmackDown! October 30th.
This video is processing – it'll appear automatically when it's done.
Under his debut moniker, Rocky Maivia, The Rock won the title over Triple H at an episode of Raw that aired on February 13th, 1997. He'd later lose the title to Owen Hart in April of the same year.
Now being billed as The Rock, he captured the Intercontinental Championship for the second and final time in a bizarre incident where current title holder Stone Cold Steve Austin literally handed the championship over to The Rock. Austin was destined for bigger things (WWE Championship) whereas The Rock was still extremely fresh and hadn't won fans over just yet.
He'd go on to hold the Intercontinental title from December 1997 to August 1998. Eventually losing it to Triple H in a ladder match at SummerSlam.

Here at CGB we have many posters who have personally witnessed the high points of California football (e.g. The Play) and the lowpoints (e.g. 2001). I figure it would be interesting to see everyone's viewpoints in what they thought was the best and worst Cal football game he or she attended. By this I do not necessarily just mean the outcome or the quality of the game played (though that certainly plays a part). Instead this is more subjective.
My opinions after the jump
The first game I attended was vs. Minnesota in 2006 so my answers will be from that era only.
The Worst
There's a lot of options for me here having seen some devastating losses. But by far this goes to Oregon State 2007. I'm sure I don't have to explain the circumstances behind this game for most of the folks but I will anyway. I was skeptical of Cal prior to the Oregon game. Even our win against Tennessee made me concerned and almost choking the game away at Colorado State or against Arizona didn't help. But after the Oregon game I (mistakenly) forgot about that and bought into the hype big time. So needless to say I ignored all the bad signs (including the very obvious one: Longshore's injury). I cheered like a madman when LSU's loss was announced (though I didn't participate in the "We're #1!" chant) and when Forsett broke free on the first play from scrimmage. In the back of my head I ignored the warning signs in Riley's first start, defensive struggles, the inability to score from the 1, etc. I was totally high on euphoria and the last minute drive by Riley and The Hawk did nothing to cool me down.
Of course then the infamous happened and I felt it all crashing down in a matter of seconds. Seeing the Oregon State players run to their fans made me miserable beyond belief. I think I was so frustrated with this game because I saw the signs and I chose to ignore it and instead got sucked into the hype train. That along with the fact that I knew we just lost our chance of a potential National Championship (and soon Rose Bowl) bid on what amounted to a dumb play by a freshman quarterback just made this the worst game I've been to. The last few minutes of the game was just amazing but the overall experience was downright terrible.
The Best
This is an easy pick for me because this game is what made me into a hardcore maniac Cal fan from a casual one. I'm talking about Oregon 2006. I went into this game with surprisingly low expectations (a product of the Tennessee blowout) despite destroying a ranked ASU team the week prior. We were going up against an Oregon team that just beat Oklahoma with a quarterback in Dennis Dixon that was literally on fire. Prior to the game Oregon fans boasted about how their few thousand fans would overtake Memorial and Tedford personally asked the fans to bring their noise.
So when on the first drive (and I think the first play) Dante Hughes picked off Dennis Dixon and Memorial erupted I knew I was in for a great night. The game itself was a one-sided thriller of epic proportions. It was the first time I saw the ESPN hanging camera that went up and close to a huddle and the mustard-yellow jerseys that I adore. And who can forget Longshore's amazing performance, Desean's punt return and TD catch, Marshawn's stiff arm and Forsett's manly performance.
But by far the best part of that game was the atmosphere. I can honestly say that I've never seen a better Memorial and a louder Memorial than that fateful day. The sound from the student section was almost deafening during the aforementioned plays. And to top it off Tedford personally thanked the fans for bringing it. This game more than anything made me into a true Cal fan for life. Therefore it has to be the best Cal game I've attended.

At Valerie Yule's prompting, we now publish the catalogue as a pamphlet, the 15th which the SSS has produced at intervals since before World War I. One member who had a preview of the pamphlet described its contents as an "eye-opener". Perhaps it will help open the public's eyes, and add yet more substance to our argument that the present spelling of English is, to put it mildly, unsatisfactory. Subscribers to JSSS are being sent the pamphlet together with this issue of the journal.
The Internet takes off.Can it really be only a year or two ago that the SSS flickered into life once every few months when the committee met or publications appeared? These days, members and non-members around the world are continuously interacting, debating new ideas, thrashing out disagreements, refining concepts, exchanging experiences, and generally relating in countless different ways. Individuals contribute as often or as rarely as the spirit takes them. The power of the Internet is seen in the fact that the London-based committee now has in Allan Campbell an active member (and newsletter editor) in New Zealand. [See Spell4Literacy.]
Yet we are still at an early stage of learning how best to exploit this new medium of instant world communication. Just a few months ago members were emailing each other collectively by individual address, but now, thanks to Nicholas Kerr, we have an automatic list to which we 'subscribe' (gratis), or 'unsubscribe', as we wish, thereby addressing all subscribers everywhere rather than just a few members whose email addresses we happened to know. Yet the traffic can be so heavy that our thoughts are already turning to the possibility of a managed list, a kind of edited email newsletter. Worldwide campaigning co-ordinated via the Internet can surely not be far away.
And that is just email. A further dimension is the WorldWideWeb, with the Society's main site operated at Aston University but with other sites run independently by members elsewhere. SSS Membership Secretary reports that nowadays new members mostly discover the SSS from the website, from which they download an application form. But it is not just information about the Society that can be disseminated on the WWW: there we can also post statements of SSS policy and, potentially, campaigning documentation.
The most productive use of the Internet by the SSS so far must be credited to Alan Mole in Boulder, Colorado. He has created the BTRSPL automatic spelling converter, which at lightning speed (eg, a whole novel in three minutes) changes TO into any reformed spelling system that is equipped with a suitably format(t?)ed dictionary. BTRSPL can be copied from his website along with large dictionaries for the American Literacy Council's orthography and for Cut Spelling, and small dictionaries for other schemes. Alan's initiative gives the SSS a major resource, which may open up a new route to spelling reform that was undreamt of before the advent of the Internet. [See link to BTRSPL.]
Features of this issue.JSSS 22 opens with the second half of Gwen Thorstad's study of children's reactions to different kinds of simplified spelling. Particularly revealing is what we might call children's own critical analysis of TO and how English spelling might be improved. "Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings" come insights to which most adults have long been blind. Gwen's study is nicely complemented by the account by our new Vice-President Edward Rondthaler of the American Literacy Council's program that combines regularized spelling with TO as an aid to literacy acquisition.
Patrick Groff traces the wilful aggravation of the above-mentioned blindness (and accompanying deafness) in recent decades by the 'Whole Language' ideology in America (more familiar in Britain as 'Real Books'). The present decline of that ideology and concomitant return to phonics in both America and Britain must be welcomed not only for its promise of higher literacy standards, but for the increased awareness it brings of the true nature of TO. 'Whole Language' effectively said, "Spelling doesn't matter"; phonics shows how much it does matter.
Our reports on other languages begin with the travails of Irish: the language may be quite unlike English, but some of the constraints on reform are not dissimilar; Irish, however, has made real progress. The German reform is facing protests, but they will probably prove no more than rearguard actions. The case of Hebrew offers some lessons on the drawbacks of vowel-omission, though the often-claimed parallel with syllabic consonants in English is not exact.
Both the UCLES analysis and the correspondence with Michael Barber relate specifically to spelling in England, but the former also makes observations about what constitutes user-friendly spelling generally.

Has this Dbacks' season ticket giveaway raised any eyebrows around here? Like most of you, I'm delighted when disadvantaged folks get to enjoy games through the kindness or sacrifice of others, but a few wrinkles here strike me as curious.
First, if priority consideration is given to current ST holders, how "disadvantaged" are they? We may likely be talking about people with deteriorating health or families who "lost" a breadwinner, so I dont mean to be flip or disrespectful towards their personal hardship in any way. I guess what I'm asking is, how disadvantaged are they in terms of attending lots of baseball games? Presumably, these are not proverbial newbies entering a stadium portal for the first time, awed by the sea of green, transported by the resonant crack of the bat. These folks, the priority folks, are regulars.
Second, does anybody really neeeed season tickets? Besides shoewizard, I mean. Arent they more of an indulgent luxury than a need? I dont deny beneficiaries will enjoy the gift, up to a point, but if we're talking about people worried about paying the mortgage, or how to get to their next doctor's appointment, isnt gifting ST books pretty disconnected from their "need"? Tons of underprivileged kids in the valley grow up without ever attending a single game, yet the Dbacks are donating, not single games, but entire ST books, to stadium regulars.
I get the part about doing something nice, something fun, above utilitarian "needs", for people in trouble. Honest, I do. But if a kid is sick and wants to go to Disneyland, do you send her eighty one times? Does she get utility out of that? At what point does it stop being about her and start being about the conspicuous largesse of her benefactors?
I'm trying to keep an open mind about this. We may get some real tear jerking stories that could change my mind, win me over. But right now, there's two things about the tone of this program I dont like. One is this perception that the Dbacks are fulfilling a genuine need. There are people with needs, certainly, and they will be receiving something of value over and over and over again, but how this rather ostentatious, recurring gift matches their need just isnt clicking with me. Second, is the perception that the Dbacks are providing this at considerable sacrifice. Per below, I've made 9 assumptions about the program that call this idea into question. I dont know if they're all true, but I believe they're reasonable. Feel free to challenge them.
- Ordinary "paying" ST holders will not be relocated to accomodate this program.
- Existing ST holders who qualify for hardship will be relocated. (We know this because Hall already identified the allocated seats as "nice seats" in November, before hardship applications were even solicited.)
- The allocated seats(40 or 50?) will have negligible impact on new ticket sales. (ie people who were going to buy tix will not be discouraged by these occupied seats, unless there is a sellout).
- Since the allocated seats are not in current ST seat locations, it's unlikely they would sell out otherwise, across 83 games, on a game by game basis. Depending on location, this fraction of 83 could vary considerably, but many upper and middle deck seats, for example, sell for less than a third of games. If you feel that's low, consider that Derrick Hall (of all people) recently characterized the upcoming 2008 single game price hikes as "a big increase", which should further suppress single game sales.
- When the Dbacks assess this "charitable donation" for tax purposes, the write off will not be valued on that fractional "lost revenue" (ie the true cost to the Dbacks); the write off will be for the full 83 game value(the fictional "cost" to the Dbacks, for seats that otherwise wouldve been empty much of the time).
- The net cost to the Diamondbacks will be negligible. Depending on seat location, overall attendance and how 4 and 5 play out, it's entirely possible the tax gains could offset lost revenue and this charitable exercise actually results in a net gain.
- We will hear about this "act of generosity" again and again and again. On dbacks.com. On "Playin' Hardball". On local TV news and in the AZ Republic. On blogs and message boards. Todd Walsh will interrupt live game action to ask a woman how her husband died. "Aside from that, Mrs Lincoln, are you enjoying the game?". Walsh will give a little speech about the Diamondbacks' "unprecedented generosity" and then spoonfeed several "questions" to grateful beneficiaries about the Diamondbacks' "unprecedented generosity". Daron Sutton will say "Great stuff, Todd". Derrick Hall will "pop in" to the booth and remind listeners of the Diamondbacks' "unprecedented generosity".
- The Diamondbacks will tangibly benefit again from this strategy, repairing their brand and selling more tickets.
- Other teams have considered similar strategies, "donating" season tickets in emptier areas to realize tax and brand advantages, but have aborted these plans due to ethical or legal concerns.

'Enemy Combatant' Opinion Released: Verifiable, Reliable Evidence Required
Posted Jun 30, 2008 3:50 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
Updated: In a 39-page opinion that cites the author of Alice in Wonderland, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit says that verifiable and reliable evidence is required to hold a suspect without trial as an "enemy combatant."
The opinion in the case of Huzaifa Parhat was decided June 20, but was not declassified and made public, in a redacted version, until today. It cites a poem by Lewis Carroll, author of the classic book, when pointing out that, "Lewis Carroll notwithstanding, the fact the government has 'said it thrice' does not make an allegation true," reports the Washington Post.
The government had argued that because information appeared multiple times in classified documents, it should be accepted as true.
A link to the unanimous opinion can be found at Wall Street Journal Law Blog.
It was written by Judge Merrick Garland. Chief Judge David Sentelle and Judge Thomas Griffith were the other members of the panel.

After 12-years in the NBA, former Sooner star Eduardo Najera is calling it quits. He was drafted by Houston in 2000 and played for five different NBA teams.
Most recently with the Charlotte Bobcats.
He's retiring as a player, but he's not leaving the game. Eduardo is set to take over the head coaching job of the D-League's Texas Legends.
He says it's a dream come true and a perfect opportunity for his post-playing career.
Eduardo was the first Mexican-born player drafted in the NBA and now becomes the first Mexican-born head coach with an NBA organization.

The Episcopal Bishop of Washington, John Chane, apparently thinking there will soon be a top-level opening at the State Department, decides to try to get himself on the short list:
Politicians in both Iran and the United States have been divisive, disrespectful, and inflammatory in their condemnations of each other, in effect increasing the likelihood of a military confrontation. As the Episcopal Bishop of the Dioceses of Washington, DC, who has travelled twice to Iran and found friendship and shared values with Iranian clerics, I think it's time for religious leaders in both countries to take the initiative to find ways to seek peaceful solutions to the complex problems that have plagued US-Iranian relations for years.
Clerics on both sides believe that reconciliation must come from respectful communication. But such dialogue cannot occur in a vacuum, or in environments where people are demonising [sic] each other. The stakes are high in the Middle East, and the shrill and negative discourse of both countries' political administrations will not ease the increasing tensions between our countries. We must embrace tolerance and sincere dialogue to reverse this trend.
Gotta wonder–do suppose it ever occurred to Chane that Iran is currently being run by clerics? That unlike mainliners in the U.S., the religious establishment is not irrelevant, but actually calls the shots on domestic and foreign policy alike? Considering he later decries American ignorance of Islam and Iranian culture, I'd say this was the sort of thing he really ought to know.
I have been to Iran twice, the first time in 2006 at the invitation of former President Khatami. More recently, I spent five days meeting with academic and religious leaders in Iran who are very concerned about the possibility of a US military incursion against their homeland. While in Tehran and Qom, one of the holiest cities in Iran, we spent a great deal of time discussing the common religious values and themes shared by both Christianity and Islam. Our commonalities centred [sic] on issues of peace as well as the moral prohibition of developing and using weapons of mass destruction.
In addition to agreeing that politicians have been behaving childishly, my Iranian colleagues and I also think that the level of ignorance by Christians and Muslims about each other's religions has been extremely unhelpful in extending positive dialogue between these two great monotheistic religions and our two nations.
So the commonalities between Christianity and Islam–a religion spread initially by the military conquest of the entire Middle East, North Africa, and Iberia–center around "issue of peace" and rejection of weapons of mass destruction (the latter being found in previously unknown books of the Bible and Koran, no doubt). These are the commonalities that Chane was able to find between two religions? What about, you know…God? Or did He just not come up in their conversations? And he's complaining about "levels of ignorance," when he apparently went all the way to Qom to talk politics?
Iran uses the development of nuclear energy and the implied fear of future nuclear weapons as a wedge issue in its relationship with the United States. In its defence [sic], Iran says it is the only Persian, Farsi-speaking country in a region of Arab nations. Once a great power thousands of years ago and now an emerging player in the Middle East in the 21st century, Iran says its future is threatened by nuclear programmes [sic] and weapons in the region.
Wait a minute–now we're supposed to believe that Iran is developing nuclear weapons to ward off the depredations of Bahrain? While there have been rumors of intentions on the part of Egypt and Saudi Arabia to develop nuclear weapons, the only Arab state that has actually made a serious effort to do so is Syria, Iran's good buddy. Did this tool really swallow this line?
Iran can also look to the history of unwelcome involvement by the United States in its internal affairs. The covert overthrow of popular Prime Minister Mosaddeq in 1953, the propping up and support of the unpopular Shah, the US government's military support of Sadaam Hussein in Iraq's war with Iran, and the failure of the Clinton Administration to embrace the emerging moderate leadership of President Khatami (eventually leading to Khatami's isolation by hardliners in his government) are all painful failures of US foreign policy.
At the same time, the United States has every right to be deeply concerned about statements made by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad about the Holocaust and the eradication of the State of Israel, as well as the verification of anti-personnel weapons manufactured in Iran and their use by Iraqi Shi'a militants against American troops. And the hostage crisis of 1979, when militant Iranian students took over the US Embassy, still exists as an open wound in the American psyche.
The first paragraph (except for the line about Khatami, whose alleged moderation was only minimally different from his fellow mullahs) rehearses some sorry episodes in American-Iranian relations, though given what followed the Shah, I'm not sure that we weren't exactly right to support him against the alternative of Khomeini. As for the second, it's all true, though incomplete, to the extent that it ignores Iran's world-wide support for terrorism, its alignment with some of the world's worst regimes, and its sending of actual elements of the Revolutionary Guards into Iraq to fight on behalf of the Shiite militias.
Much of Iran's anti-Israel rhetoric can be attributed to deflected anger at the United States for violating known agreements about the parameters of establishing the State of Israel under the Roosevelt and Truman administrations and Israel's development of nuclear weapons without the permission of the United States. The perceived bias of the United States in favour [sic--what's with all the Britishisms in this article? Is Chane campaigning to be the next Archbishop of Canterbury?] of Israel in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has only exacerbated anti-Israeli feelings. (It must also be noted, however, that the largest concentration of Jews in the Middle East outside of Israel can be found living peacefully in Iran.)
Right. I'm sure that's it. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is really mad at Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Truman. It's the two of them that he really wants to see obliterated, but since they are already dead, he'll have to settle for Israel. Makes sense to me–at least as much as anything else in this article.

Thrash Metal
Thrash metal (sometimes referred to simply as thrash) is a subgenre of heavy metal music, one of the extreme metal subgenres that is characterised by high speed riffing and aggression. Thrash metal songs typically use fast, percussive and low-register guitar riffs, overlaid with shredding-style lead work. Thrash metal lyrics also often deal with social issues using visceral and blunt language, an approach which partially overlaps with the hardcore genre. A lot of times the vocals are clean cut.

It's sad but true. If the salon or spa isn't practicing safe waxing, you could walk away with something much more serious than misshapen brows or an uneven bikini line. You could get an infection or even a disease. It's your health and you have a right to protect yourself.
While not everything can be measured in just what you see, here are some general things to look for when choosing a salon or spa.
Good Signs for Safe Waxing:
You fill out a client questionnaire. This helps them find out if you have any allergies, health conditions, or are taking any medicine which would not make you a candidate to receive the hair removal procedure. If they are taking your health into account with a questionnaire (see waxing precautions), they are more likely to be following sanitary measures too.
Paper is placed down for body hair removal. Paper (like at the doctor's office) is most often used for waxing because any drips can be thrown away. It also shows the client that where they're laying is clean.
The technician wears gloves. Any type of hair removal can draw some spotting of blood, even if it's a tiny amount. And skin is much more vulnerable to infection right after waxing or sugaring. Gloves help protect both the client and the technician. And if you're getting a Brazilian wax and they ask for your help in holding skin, then they should give you gloves too.
They don't double-dip. Once a stick (applicator) has been placed into product and touched your skin, it should be thrown away. The stick should never put back into a pot of wax or sugaring paste because it could contaminate the product, and then infect clients. Don't think or let them tell you the wax is hot enough to kill any bacteria- it isn't!
Wax rollers are clean. For speed, some techs use a roller to apply the wax instead of a wooden stick. Either the roller head needs to be replaced with a fresh disposable one or cleaned and sanitized between clients. It can be hard to tell for sure if they've done either one, and you should ask. But if there is any hair stuck in the head before they start on you, then you can guarantee it's not sanitary.
- Panties are given to you for a regular bikini wax. They're disposable and much more hygienic than wearing your regular cloth (or, excuse me) silk panties.
Bad Signs for Safe Waxing:
Things are a mess when touring the facility. Need I say more?
Shelves and containers are dusty. If they aren't doing the basic cleaning, are they really going to be following sanitation measures?
Implements are put back into a drawer or cabinet after use. There are items that don't have to be thrown away but need to be sanitized after use, like metal tweezers, by being washed and soaked in a strong solution. If they use a tweezer and put it away where they got it, then they aren't sanitizing it between clients.
Wax pots (heating units) have wax all over them. Waxing can be messy, but a special product cleans wax off pots, so there is no excuse.
- They have a hard time explaining their sanitation measures when asked. If they can't describe it, they're not doing it.
